”You do not need to answer right now! Can think about it some more!” Yin Luo promptly added, unsure whether it's to persuade herself or to persuade him. ”I know...I know that saying this is probably kind of bras.h.!.+ But you don't need to be surprised, in our G.o.d race, since ancient times the ones who inherit the body of a G.o.d had always been women. So naturally, women have been treated with respect, so even though I'm the one to bring it up first, there is nothing wrong.” She made a hurried smile, fingers twisting together into a bundle, so nervous that she felt silly.

”I know, I might not have any capabilities. Even in something like Xian powers, I might not be able to surpa.s.s you, but you don't have to worry. I'll treat you very well. When the day for the Sword Seeking Ceremony comes, I will also try my best.....”

”You want to attend the Sword Seeking Ceremony?” He was a bit surprised.

Yin Luo faintly smiled, ”Yes! I am of the G.o.d race after all. Even though I don't know anything, let's not talk about xian powers, but even in sword-riding it's also.....really, it's such a loss of face for the G.o.d race.”

”You haven't done anything wrong, why are you degrading yourself?” Bai Zhu frowned.

”What I'm saying is also simply the truth!” Yin Luo smiled with indifference, ”You've also heard the foretelling of the Tian Di's return, right?”

Bai Zhu nodded, ”Many hundred millions of years ago, before the Tian Di has pa.s.sed away, it's been fortold that the day the Mo Shen returns, it will also be the day that the Tian Di will be revived.”

”But the G.o.d lineage which has carried down to my generation, is also the last of the race. Yin Luo spoke slowly, ”Since ancient times, each generation of the G.o.d lineage had always been one male one female. Brother and Sister or Sister and Brother, their union would bring forth the next generation. This has been the G.o.d race's tradition, but my mother, had only gave birth to daughters, so the G.o.d lineage afraid will end with my generation. No longer another to enter this world. The world speculates that between the two of us, one must be the reborn Creator.” With a deep thought, she shook her head, ”No, should say that all believe it can only be her Lord Honor. However, without the affirmation of the Heavenly Sword, still cannot be completely sure. So....even if there's only a thread of hope, I also wish to give it a try.”

”Seeking the sword will be extremely dangerous, you....” Bai Zhu's words are interupted again.

”The Heavenly Sword only recognizes one master, I know!” Yin Luo's expression hasn't changed, not a trace of fear, ”To any who dares to violate it, either they will not be able to find any trace of the sword, or they will lose their sanity. Even those of the G.o.d race will be so! They will not outlive a hundred years!” This is also the reason why G.o.d race has dwindled to this scarce number. ”So......so that's why I'm telling you now.”

She took a step forward, seeming to have made up her mind, and mustered up her courage. Bringing out of the bag at her side an object that she had been clutching in her hand all the while and pa.s.sed it into his hand, ”This is....this is the Scarlet Liu Hua Flower, you know that the Liu Hua Flower is colorless, so should also know this Scarlet Liu Hua Flower's implication! Are you...are you willing to safekeep it for me?”

His dark black eyes froze, directly fixed on her.

Yin Luo's hands are shaking, her heart also started trembling. Tugging at the corner of her lips, wanting to smile, but she was nervous to the point that even a smile cannot come through. ”You can think it over...give it some more thought. Since there's still five year's time until the Sword Seeking Ceremony, this Scarlet Liu Hua Flower, just hold it. These five years...for these five years I hope you can keep it with you for as long as possible. If staying by my side, naturally...naturally it'll be the company between a man and a woman. As for the Heavenly Sword, I have high aspiration for it. These five years, for the time being, you can stay on the Divine Mountain. Being at the very top of the Divine Mountain, on it's divine grounds, will be advantageous towards your enlightenment. I won't ask for a lot from you, just....just five years would be good... If...if one day you don't want it any more, you need only give it back to me!”

Yin Luo's heart quivered more intensely. Her eyes don't dare to blink, staring at that Liu Hua Flower in his hand. Seeing that he did not treat it like a burning potato and directly throw it back at her face, inside she is wild with joy. There's hope, there's hope! Heaven does treat her well, really treats her well!

”I.....will only marry one person in this lifetime....”

”You don't have to worry, I didn't say I want to be your wife. I only want you....to keep me company. You can hold onto your wife's t.i.tle. Suppose.....” A pause, and she continues again softly, ”Suppose if in the future you have someone that you truly love, I won't hold you back.... You can be free to take her and be like birds, flying and nesting together, I won't resent you. I only want...that during my living days, there's someone....there's someone who will treat me sincerely, not for any other interests. I don't mind that you've just become a xian and only just a low xian, and you do not mind that I am the disowned G.o.d that this world shames. Even...even if you don't take me to heart, as long as there's no deception...then it's fine!”

On her opposite, there was a long moment of silence. Yin Luo's every heartbeat felt like it was against the sharp point of a blade, very afraid that he would throw the Liu Hua Flower back at her in disgust.

”I'll treat you very well....very well! And rest a.s.sured....the enlightenment techniques of our Divine Mountain are by far the fastest and most complete. So if you want to achieve enlightenment, it naturally would be must faster compared to at Bai Mu.” It's just unfortunate that she herself couldn't find those techniques, so even with the treasure here, she still can't find the door to enter. ”As long as you're willing, after rescuing the a.s.sembly, I...I'll immediately take you back to the Divine Mountain. Being with me though, others will mock you, when it happens, I hope you won't mind.....”

His mouth moved slightly although he didn't say anything. An extremely loud sound sounded from behind their bodies though. Flowing light infiltrates through the air. The two simultaneously froze, looking up into the air ahead.

”The barrier opposing the Tian Ling Zhen from the inside has weakened!” Bai Zhu brows tightened, ”The a.s.sembly is in danger!”

”I'll go in immediately!” Yin Luo didn't even think, turned around and dashed ahead, as if trying to prove her previous words.

”Yin Luo!” Bai Zhu reached out, wanting to stop her. Yin Luo turned her head around, took a glance at the Scarlet Liu Hua Flower in his hand, and only lifted the corner of her lips up in a smile. A smile of content, of incomparable beauty yet simple, as if she had suddenly become another person. Bai Zhu became spellbound, momentarily forgetting his initial action.

Yin Luo didn't have anything more to be concerned about, hardening herself to go forward. She hasn't learned any self-preservation skills, only relying on her undying body of a G.o.d to go force her way forward.

But, would not die did not mean would not feel pain. When cras.h.i.+ng into that invisible wall of the array spell, that overwelming pain that swept over, felt like ten million sharp blades slicing her into pieces. At once, blood sprayed into the air. Even she could see those flying, splattering blood droplets, scattering outwards. Suddenly, blooming red lotuses covered the ground. Like ink staining paper, the entire pa.s.sageway is covered in red lotuses. All in sight is eye-stinging red.

What was supposed to be a dark pa.s.sageway, in an instant became a blood-tinted spring day. Everywhere, flowers continue to bloom.

Yet the pain continues on. All around, the slicing pain covers the entire body, some seeming to have cut into the chest, some unforgivingly into the arm. Every part of the body is screaming to part from her, flesh wanting to fly.
