Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 167 - Her Hero

Bai Rouyun was inherently a money-grubber, but because of the sheer amount of wealth she had gained due to the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, she was not going to be stingy with her friends.

She knew that Little Chu and Li Moyun did not need her essence stones. She had also already gifted all her pill formulas to Li Moyun and gave Little Chu a bottle full of pills earlier, so if she continued to give them things, they would not feel comfortable.

Not to mention, Li Moyun felt as if he had stolen her dragon away from her, so he felt somewhat guilty about this as well.

She did not feel that the two of them owed her anything. She had taken them both to be part of her family, and she would naturally share her treasures with them, but she also took their emotions into consideration.

Bai Rouyun and Qin Huiling were walking together in front of Little Chu. Bai Rouyun, who was living her second life, was much more mature than Qin Huiling. A gentle smile hung on her lips, and her ethereal appearance attracted attention no matter where she went.

Qin Huiling could not help but glance at Bai Rouyun, making her eyes sparkle like stars, and deep infatuation could be seen within.

Even Qin Huiling did not know why she felt like this towards Bai Rouyun. She thought that this woman who had appeared in front of her was a hero.

The way she was calm and collected no matter what happened, and how she could control the field with limited actions were genuinely impressive.

Bai Rouyun was a one of a kind woman, and Qin Huiling knew that of the distance between them. Although they seemed fairly equal in terms of strength, Qin Huiling was perfectly well aware that no matter how hard she worked, she would never be able to reach the same level as Bai Rouyun.

But even so, she did not feel jealous. She felt that everything was right the way it was. Bai Rouyun was an existence who was meant to soar into the heavens, and she would forever be proud of the fact that they were friends.

Little Chu was walking behind Qin Huiling and Bai Rouyun. He noticed all the subtle emotions in Qin Huiling’s eyes. The respect, the admiration, the infatuation.

He had thought that he would be uncomfortable when he saw her looking at someone else with such eyes, but since the target of her admiration was Bai Rouyun, he did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, a strange sensation of having found a soulmate appeared in his heart.

Qin Huiling was unaware of Little Chu’s thoughts. She did not know that she, an innocent young woman who had never experienced love, was suddenly marked by a big bad wolf, who had ulterior motives.

Bai Rouyun felt a change in the atmosphere and glanced behind her only to see the thoughtful, but also rather playful smile on Little Chu’s face as he looked at Qin Huiling.

Looking from one to another, a knowing smile appeared on Bai Rouyun’s face, and she could not help but chuckle.

"Rouyun, why are you laughing?" Qin Huiling asked puzzledly as she looked at her good friend.

Bai Rouyun shook her head and reached out her hand to gently caress Qin Huiling’s hair. "Don’t worry about it," she said with a tender smile on her face, which made even Qin Huiling blush all the way to the tip of her ears.

Bai Rouyun was simply too attractive. While she was beautiful, she had an ethereal aura around her, which made it so that one would feel that they tainted her if they looked too many times. She seemed holy.

Not long away, the Crown Prince observed Bai Rouyun flirting with Qin Huiling, but instead of finding the episode attractive, he looked as if he had swallowed a fly.

Bai Rouyun was extremely attractive, but no matter how beautiful she was, he would never like her. She had destroyed his plans time and time again, and even his reputation was battered and bruised as a result of her meddling.

His venomous eyes were staring straight at Bai Rouyun. He wished to kill her, rip her apart, and chop her into pieces before presenting the remains to Li Moyun.

The Crown Prince’s expression turned twisted as malice shone in his eyes.

He glanced at Mo Chu, and his eyes narrowed. It was clear that this man was a bodyguard, and when he tried to probe at his cultivation levels, he only felt a bottomless abyss.

The only thing that could have caused this was if the cultivator was much stronger than the one who sent the probe, and the Crown Prince unwillingly turned away.

While he wanted to get revenge on Bai Rouyun, he was not stupid enough to pay with his own life. A cold and evil smile fluttered on his lips as he walked in the opposite direction.

So what if Bai Rouyun had Li Moyun backing her. Eventually, she would become nothing more than fertilizer for the soil he was standing on.

They had a long time ahead of them in the institute. He did not believe that he would not be able to deal with her in the time they had left.

The Crown Prince was aware of the fact that Bai Rouyun was in the lowest-ranked class. Her performance was lackluster, and even if she managed to climb to a higher grade, she would still be behind all the others.

He did not believe that she could catch up with his cultivation speed, and thus he was confident that the opportunity to deal with her would arrive at some point in time. He would be able to avenge himself, and he would kill her with his own hands.
