Chapter 218 – White Night Paradise, Girl in the Jade-Colored Dress

Even Chu Luo himself didn’t realize that deep down in his heart, he held a strong attraction for that gentle, elegant woman.

As he stared off into the distance, he thought back to the time when they were on their way to the Anxi Province. He recalled the time they were riding on the suanni spiritual beast, when the stunning woman had thoroughly captured his heart.

“This beast is called a suanni, a type of mount raised with utmost care in Spiritual Beast Pavilion. Aside from people at the rank of Sacred Son, only Divine Core stage Spirit Masters can have a suanni spiritual beast,” the woman said, turning around with a beautiful smile. Her long, flowing jet-black hair fluttered gently in the wind, accentuating her elegance and fair skin.

These memories from when they first met slowly became fuzzy, then shattered into a million pieces.

Such a sincere and kind-hearted woman had met a tragic demise due to the cruel rules of the sect.

Right before she met her end, she had even been humiliated by He Qiwen!

Chu Luo had been suppressing these emotions in his heart for the last few years. He didn’t want to acknowledge that he couldn’t bring himself to forget her when he only had that one memory of her high in the skies atop the suanni spiritual beast.

This was the first time he hated himself for his own weakness, and the first time he came to hate the cruel, heartless nature of the sect rules.

He hated He Qiwen and Quan Hongyu so much that he wanted to rip their corpses apart piece by piece!

It was only Xu Disheng that he couldn’t bring himself to hate wholeheartedly. He didn’t dare to resent him.

Xu Disheng had helped him secure a higher position in the sect, and had taken care of him so much. In the end, he wasn’t able to pay these favors back.

However, the voice of reason in his heart was constantly telling him that Ming Ruoyun and He Rourou could have easily been allowed to live. All it would have taken was a single, casual utterance from that aloof youth.

Chu Luo had passed these few years by, constantly tormented by these complex emotions. And now, as he stood here by the edge of the Luo River, he finally made up his mind.

He wanted to break away from Cloud Abyss Peak and return to Morning Dew Peak.

When Chu Luo thought of He Qiwen and Quan Hongyu, a hint of deep-seated killing intent surfaced in his gaze.

Ma Chen was still staring at him in a daze, stunned by his words, and hadn’t come back to his senses.

What Chu Luo had said was simply too rebellious. If the other disciples had heard what he said, it would mean disaster for the two of them.

As Ma Chen stared at him, a massive plume of water dozens of meters tall suddenly erupted from the Luo River, releasing a deafening explosion. A girl in a jade-colored dress emerged swiftly from the spindrift, riding on a nimbus cloud.

“Huh?” the girl in the jade-colored dress muttered in surprise, bringing her nimbus cloud to a stop the moment she caught sight of Chu Luo and Ma Chen standing at the bank of the Luo River.

Ma Chen’s expression took a dramatic turn. The being riding that nimbus cloud was a transformation stage monster, which was the equivalent of a Dao Foundation stage human!

Chu Luo was a bit more composed than he was, and cupped his hands in salute. “Respectful greetings… young lady.”

He couldn’t think of a proper way to address her, and at a momentary loss, he ended up simply referring to her ordinarily as ‘young lady’.

The girl in the jade-colored dress couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. She got off her nimbus cloud and examined Chu Luo’s handsome features. With a sweet smile, she said, “Who are you two? What are you two doing dithering about at the edge of White Night Paradise?”

Ma Chen’s features were ordinary, and the stark contrast between them only brought out Chu Luo’s handsome facial features even more.

“White Night Paradise… Isn’t this the Luo River? And the place we’re at… is called the Anxi Province,” Chu Luo said, regaining his composure. He didn’t know what the young lady’s temperament was like, so he decided to simply play the fool.

The girl in the jade-colored dress had a cute and innocent appearance, but she was still at the transformation stage, so he didn’t dare to treat her carelessly.

“This place is the edge of the Quicksand Earth Territory. It’s under the jurisdiction of White Night Paradise. Don’t tell me you don’t know about White Night Paradise? White Night Paradise is located at the westernmost border of the Quicksand Earth Territory, and is the most formidable demon race paradise!” the girl exclaimed in astonishment, seeing the blank stares on Chu Luo and Ma Chen’s faces, which didn’t seem to be faked.

The terms ‘demon race’ and the ‘monster race’ only differed by a single word, but were as far apart in meaning as two words could be.

After hearing that the girl was of the demon race, Chu Luo let out a long sigh of relief. “We are disciples of the Shangqing Sacred Sect. We came here to…”

Before he could finish, the girl’s green dress swayed lightly and her long barbed tail swung out, penetrating cleanly through Ma Chen from head to toe.

“Came here to do what?” the girl said, lifting her head and smiling at him. In the meantime, she retracted her long barbed tail and her nimbus cloud moved to envelop Ma Chen’s lifeless body.

Fear struck deep into Chu Luo’s heart. A frigid, bone-piercing chill crept up his spine. “C-Came here… came h-here to…” he stuttered.

With a rotation of her demonic power, the girl turned Ma Chen’s body into a concentrated ball of flesh essence, which she tossed casually into her mouth. After chewing for a bit, she swallowed.

She extended a lily-white hand and stroked Chu Luo’s face with her slender fingers. She giggled and said, “Came here to do what, why don’t you tell me?”

As her cold fingers caressed his face, Chu Luo didn’t dare to budge an inch. Despair began to well up in his heart.

Eventually, Chu Luo closed his eyes as if resigning himself to fate. In his mind, he thought, “Senior Martial Sister Ming, it seems that I won’t be able to help you wipe away your humiliations.”

For a long while, Chu Luo didn’t hear any sounds from next to him. He slowly opened his eyes, but that enchantingly beautiful girl was gone without a single trace.

He took out his Cloud Abyss Peak jade identity tablet and rotated his Shangqing profound qi to activate it. He looked off into the distance at the Luo River, which was still surging and galloping fiercely along as it had always been. His heart dripped with sorrow.

Ma Chen…

“Huh? You haven’t left yet?” the girl’s bewitching voice resounded from right next to him. Chu Luo jumped, his scalp turning numb with fright.

“I… I…”

At such a critical juncture, Chu Luo thoroughly forgot how to conduct himself or speak properly at the girl’s abrupt reappearance. All he could do was stare speechlessly into the girl’s blue eyes.

“After escaping from White Night Paradise, this is the first time I’ve seen such a cute, attractive man like you,” the girl said, gazing intently at Chu Luo. Her voice was pleasant and captivating like birdsong, a treat simply to listen to.

As Chu Luo stared into her clear, intelligent gaze, the flurry of emotions that had been pent up inside him for so long finally welled up and overflowed. Under a crazy impulse, he lost control and did the unthinkable.

In a single movement, he wrapped the girl’s dainty, delicate body in a deep embrace; one hand caressed her silky hair, the other wrapped firmly behind the small of her back. He brought his lips to hers—her soft, cold lips meeting his own.

“You…!”

The girl started to revolve her demonic power, but a few moments of silence later, she fell limp in his arms like a small kitten. She let him stroke her hair, greedily relishing in the pleasure.

After a long while, the girl lightly pushed him away. Her tender, ice-cold lips had reddened from their communion, accenting her beautiful complexion even further.

“You…”

The two of them gazed at each other wordlessly.

Eventually, Chu Luo lowered his gaze and said, “You can kill me now.”

After pouting for a moment, the girl replied, “Why would I want to kill you?”

Silence ensued once more. An inexplicable atmosphere flowed between the two of them.

“I am the granddaughter of Bai Qingyang, the Master of White Night Paradise.”

Chu Luo seemed to recall what she said earlier and said, “Didn’t you just say that you escaped from White Night Paradise?”
