Chapter 114 - 114 Illusions (1/2)

Seeing that numerous bats are circling the isolated peak, Li Xi’er instinctively knows that something is wrong. She asks Goldie to take her there and have a look, but Goldie refuses to get anywhere near the peak.

“What if Sister Lin is in danger? You still don’t want to go?” Li Xi’er gets angry. She leaves Goldie and heads to the peak on her own. Later, she sees a shadow on the ground and looks up. After all, Goldie is following her.

“That’s right!” Li Xi’er pats Goldie on the head and gets on its back. She directs Goldie to fly to the isolated peak. They search for a while and find a cave at the foot of the mountain. Li Xi’er wants to go in, but she is dragged back by Goldie.

“What’s in there?” The more Goldie acts this way, the more Li Xi’er is worried about Lin Luoran. However, no matter how smart the golden hawk is, it can’t speak human language. Goldie is so anxious, but it can’t find a way to tell Li Xi’er what is in the cave.

There are a few bats at the entrance of the cave. Goldie can frighten the bats for now so that they don’t dare to attack.

While Goldie and the bats are in a stalemate, Lin Luoran staggers out of the cave. Seeing that Lin is confounded, Li Xi’er wants to ask about what has happened. Lin Luoran shouts weakly, “Go!”

Goldie lowers its back and lets Lin Luoran get on it. Li Xi’er follows Lin on to Goldie’s back and grabs Goldie by its feature.

Crystal and Dana who have followed Lin Luoran out now have no time to be surprised at Lin’s ride. They flap their wings and soar up into the sky almost at the same time as Goldie does. Yet, Crystal and Dana fly in a different direction!

Bats are flying at the entrance of the cave. A howl comes from the inside and shakes the entire mountain. It appears that the mountain is about to be overturned from the inside by someone.

A black skull flies out of the cave and goes after Goldie. With a blink of an eye, it gets much closer. Li Xi’er looks back and is scared by this thing. She casts a “Golden Blade Spell” at it but fails to hurt the skull at all.

“Sister, what is it?!”

Lying face down on Goldie’s back, Lin Luoran’s shoulders are swollen. The Reiki inside of her is drained and she has no energy to answer Li’s question.

Lin looks at the bead on her wrist. It must be the bead that the black shadow Venerable is after.

“Promise to do three things for me and I will save you!” White Fairy’s voice comes in Lin Luoran’s head for the second time today. Her voice gives Lin hope.

“What things?” G.o.d knows what White Fairy wants. Though this is an emergency, Lin Luoran doesn’t want to fall into a trap.

White Fairy smiles, “I’m not sure yet… I promise I won’t ask you to do things beyond your ability. How about that? If you’re in, swear on the Devil Inside!”

This is exactly like the bank loan nowadays. On the surface, you buy a house without saving money for years. In fact, you have to pay the debt for the rest of your life. You get through the temporal crisis but your mind will never be at ease — but Lin Luoran now has no other option. People will not die if they don’t buy a house, however, if she doesn’t agree to do three things for White Fairy, she, Goldie and Li Xi’er will die soon since the skull is so close to them!

“I agree!” Lin Luoran grits her teeth and makes the “Devil Inside” Swear under White Fairy’s instruction.

White Fairy laughs and gets out of the Soul Stone. Lin Luoran pats Goldie and tells it to go faster.

In a palace dress, White Fairy looks charming. The black skull says, “Junior, get out of my way. Don’t you really want me to destroy your essence!”

White Fairy smiles affectedly, “Your Venerable, we are all the same. Why are you joking at me?”

The black skull sneers, “You were just a Qi-trainer when you were alive. How dare you mention yourself and me in the same breath? You are playing with fire!”

White Fairy grins coldly and holds out her hand. The surrounding starts to change. Time goes backward and mountains rise straight from the ground. The river used to be a desert and the sand used to be glaciers.

The black skull is stunned. He is very familiar with the view. Is this his territory thousands of years ago?

As soon as he thinks about this, a flock of bats fly to him. One of the bats has a piece of white feature on its head. The one-meter-tall bat transforms into a cute girl the moment it lands on the ground. The girl says with a smile, “Your Venerable, why do you come back so late?”

The Venerable… The skull looks down and finds himself in the form of bat. He transforms into the form of human. He is a tall and strong man with a beard.

“Yan’er, why are you out here?” The black shadow Venerable says. He calls the bat girl by her name, but he feels strange about it like he has not been calling this name for a long time.

Looking at the pretty girl beside him, the black shadow Venerable now feels that he is thinking too much.

Both two return to their place under the guard of the bats. This place is surrounded by grand mountains and clear rivers, and the blossom of flowers never fades.

On the hillside where mist lingers, there is an open square. A throne made of white marble looms in the cloud. The sound of drums comes. Yan’er is running around like an elf in the woods, and her eyes and smiles fascinate the Venerable.

“Your Venerable, the song and dance are ready.”

The black shadow Venerable shakes his head and says that he has no mood to enjoy the song and dance and he only wants to talk to her. He feels like he has not been talking to Yan’er for a long time. However, Yan’er slips out of his hand like a gust of breeze.

Yan’er always plays hard to get. The Venerable laughs and lets her go. He sits on the throne and starts to watch the dance.

The dancers all look beautiful in the white dresses. Their hair is down but it can not hide their beauty. The Venerable remembers that none of the dancers are from his clan. He always protects his people so well that he will never ask the girls under his watch to learn such cheap dances.

He takes a closer look at the leading dancer. As expected, she is a single-horned deer. A little deer horn grows on her forehead and her wet eyes are so innocent and charming.

Every girl here is prettier than Yan’er, yet the black shadow Venerable is not in the mood of enjoying the dance.

Where is Yan’er?

As soon as he thinks about this, the scene in front of him changes. The bat with a piece of white feather flies down, but one of its wings seems to be wounded.

“Yan’er!” The guards all transform into bats and fly up to protect the wounded bat. The bat transforms into Yan’er. Now the Venerable sees clearly that one of her arms is injured. The fresh blood makes him angry!

“Who hurt you?”

Yan’er is not the most good-looking girl, but she is so delicate. Yan’er is pouting, and no man can stop loving her dearly.
