Originally this cold lake shouldâve been enough to turn any person into a greenish hue due to the insane low temp, but as Bai Yan slowly placed the girl into the water, what came of it was nothing short of serene. Thereâs a little bit of flush red filling Dragonyâs face, making her look like someone thatâs peacefully asleep.
âDo you feel it as well?â Bai Yan turns to Mo Li Shang the young man after checking the air, âThe atmosphere here is very thick with spiritual energy. Itâs a suitable location for training.â
The young man nods in agreement: âIndeed.â
âUnfortunately, I donât have time to train here now. Letâs look around first, thereâs bound to be a way out of this place.â
The panic and unease have grown much stronger by this point, making the woman more urgent to return to her husbandâs side.
âOkay.â Sensing the tension as well, Mo LI Shang didnât dally around and quickly began the search.
Itâs then, something up ahead caught their eye that seems to appear out of nowhere. Standing at a personâs height was a monument with several words etched along the surface.
âTo break is a Demi Divine Lord.â
Demi Divine Lord? What does that mean?
âMother,â Bai Xiachen tugs at Bai Yanâs hand, âThis monument says Demi Divine Lord, does that mean we need to break this monument with a Demi Divine Lord? Does that mean we can leave after we break it?â
A shudder breaks into Bai Yanâs heart, causing her hands to clench into a ball in the process: âBut how can I spare the time to advance into the Demi Divine Lord level? The city is under attack and Iâm supposed to sit here and train?â Making an extremely frustrated face, âWhy? Why must I fall into this forsaken place at this time? Why does the city have to be attacked while Iâm away? I canât do this! I must return to Di Cangâs side right now!â
Bang!
Not hesitating, Bai Yanâs throws a heavy punch at the monument. The force used could crush a rock, but instead of showing a single crack, the recoiling force from the impact actually bounced her back to the ground.
âMother!â Greatly startled by the turn of event, Bai Xiachen didnât think twice and threw himself to her side: âMother, you will be hurt if you continue to hit it. I donât want you to be hurt....â
âItâs okay son, move aside and let me do this. We canât stay here and continue this endless wait while your father is in danger.â Climbing up again, Bai Yan pummels her fist for a second time and roused a similar outcome.
Not conceding, the attack continued, only to repeat itself time and time again. Eventually blood came seeping out of the womanâs messed up fingers that had clearly been scratched to the point of showing bones at some point.
âDemi Divine Lord, why is it only a Demi Divine Lord that can break this? I refuse to believe thatâs the only way. Even if Iâm only at the High Divine stage, I will break this blasted rock!â
No one can stop me from going back to Di Cangâs side, let alone a monument in this forsaken place!
âYan Yan.â Mo Li Shang sounded distressed now, especially when his gaze fell upon the femaleâs hand.
He wants to stop her from doing this of course, but against that strong level of determination, he just couldnât bring himself to do it. Moreover, heâs far too aware of how much Bai Yan loves Di Cang. To ask his friend there to stay put and train patiently would be equivalent of killing her while the husband was in danger.
Very soon, a trickle of blood came trickling down the womanâs lip due to the continuous recoiling force of her punches. Sheâs at the point of sustaining a internal injury if she keeps this reckless assault up.
