âAlright, I will follow you. In this life, as long as you donât abandon me then I wonât abandon you even in death!â
The teen didnât think much of his vow that day, but he really would die for her eventually somewhere into the future.
......
Bai Yan silently stood there as she watched the scenes flashed before herself. First it was the original meeting of herself and Black Turtle, then through their growth and eventually the final battle in the Celestial Realm where the sky has been stained with blood.
âI, Black White, promised her I will use my life to defend her!â Replacing that stubborn young teen with a attitude was now a tall standing and upright man who carried an air of reliability and strength.
From the day she took him in, Black White has vowed to follow this woman for life! Thatâs why in spite of the terrible odds and numerous injuries along his body, this last surviving member of the Black Turtle clan would never yield or submit before the enemy.
At this sight, Bai Yanâs heart instinctively clenched up and wanted to help. But the lady knew she couldnât move; in fact, she could do nothing here. This wasnât real, she knew that, but it doesnât change the fact that her emotions are swirling out of control. Thankfully sanity had the better grip in this case, otherwise it would beat the whole purpose of falling into this state again of seeing the past.
Doing nothing as the battle raged onwards, growing fiercer and deadlier with each passing minute, it soon became clear neither side could really come out on top. Unlike the other three sacred beasts, Black Turtle had the strongest defenses of them all. Even when outnumbered, the attacks arenât able to truly penetrate his skin, that was until he came....
From out of the blue without anyone noticing on the battlefield, a powerful force reared its ugly head out from behind Black Whiteâs view. Itâs a blade comprised of condensed air, a silent yet deadly strike that penetrated straight into the manâs heart and plowing a hole right through that chest where blood sprayed out like a fountain in itâs wake.
âYou...â In light of the lethal injury, the demon general didnât fall; instead, he fixed his gaze upwards and onto the clouds where a mysterious figure floated. In his eye, thereâs shock, disbelief, but more were that of sorrowful pain at the recognition.
Bai Yan followed this gaze of course. In her discovery, the person responsible for this sudden attack appeared hazy and shrouded behind a cover of mist in her view. She wanted to get a better look, finally moving her legs to go forwards. Unfortunately, like all the times in the past, this was when her consciousness got dragged back out from the deep state.
âBlack White...â Standing there with a solemn attitude after recognizing where sheâs at, âI will find out who that person is, I promise you....â
She never accepts betrayal, especially those whom she trusts!
âI believe in you Mistress.â
Because of the contract they just formed, Black White had changed his way of addressing this demon queen and no longer called her his queen.
âDuring this period, you donât need to stay with me, go protect my children instead. If Iâm not mistaken, it wonât be long before that enemy begins to move against us....â
The only thing she couldnât put down was her children, especially Bai Xiachen who has been with her the longest.
âYes, Mistress.â
......
Demon Realm.
A blood-colored moon hung high in the sky as Chu Yi Yi â the Holy Landâs princess â strode through the open streets. Sheâs feeling rather creeped out right now due to the strange chills running through her back: âThis Demon Realm is so scary, just like Di Xiao Wanâs older brother. No wonder that guyâs so frightening.â
