Chapter 80 Xiao'er Wakes Up, Huo Chen's Assassination.

Xiao'er wakes up, Huo Chen's assassination.

Now alone, Xue Bai was questioning what he should do next. From Li Rou's words, Xue Bai learned that Xiao'er would stay asleep for another 12 hours. But considering the fact that he had nothing to do today, he decided to cultivate in the girl's room until she woke up.

Though he could go to the practice field and sharpen his Martial Techniques or practice application with his Space Element, his cultivation base was the source of his power. The higher his cultivation base became, the stronger his Space Element and the better his comprehension would become as well. So as long as his cultivation base advanced, the other two would soon follow it.

And since he was still far behind in making his goal, Xue Bai decided that he would double the amount of time he spent cultivating. So sitting back down on the mat, Xue Bai resumed his cultivation.

Currently, he was at the 9th stage of the Blood Exchange Realm. Though most cultivators would call the 9th stage the peak, Xue Bai planned to cultivate the Purification Stages, so he didn't say he was at the Peak of the Blood Exchange Realm. For him, the 13th stage was the true peak.

The next stage Xue Bai was planning to advance to was known as the Small Succes Stage. In simple terms, it was just another way to call it the 10th stage of the Blood Exchange Realm, as in order to advance to the Small Success Stage, Xue Bai still needed to remove the impurities from his blood.

So swallowing more Blood Ignition and Blood Replenishing Pills, Xue Bai continued to cultivate, waiting for Xiao'er to wake up.

Soon hours went by, but Xue Bai was deeply engrossed in the process of getting stronger. He had long lost track of time and only knew that he had consumed all of his Blood Ignition and Blood Replenishing Pills.

Standing up, Xue Bai soon realized his skin was covered by a faint layer of impurities, but since it was nowhere near the amount that was expelled when reaching the Small Succes Stage, Xue Bai knew he was still in the 9th stage. But sick of the smell, Xue Bai still went to go take a quick bath to rinse it off.

Whether it was because he didn't want the cliche to happen or he knew Xiao'er was going to awaken soon, Xue Bai quickly bathed and changed before going back into the room. Inside, Xiao'er was still emitting a freezing cold aura, but Xue Bai could feel its temperature was higher than when it first started.

Since Li Rou had told him that this was a sign of her immediate awakening, Xue Bai went over to the side of Xiao'er and waited patiently. And soon enough, after about 10 minutes of waiting, the cold temperature soon began to subside, bringing the room back to normal.

Xiao'er, the source of the phenomenon, began to wake up. With her eyes fluttering open, Xiao'er looked around herself, confused.

"Where the heck did these blankets come from? It's too hot for this!" Xiao'er mumbled as she threw off the half dozen blankets Xue Bai put on top of her.

However, her aim was off, and instead of them landing on the ground, they landed on top of Xue Bai, who was at her bedside.

"AH! Young Master, what are you doing here?!" Xiao'er yelled as she noticed the intruder.

Pulling the pile of blankets off of himself, Xue Bai looked at her blankly and replied, "I was watching you for a while."

"How Long?" Xiao'er asked as she got off the bed to help Xue Bai.

"When I woke up and found out you weren't by my side." Xue Bai answered.

"Why? Am I that important Young Master?" Xiao'er asked as she blushed lightly.

'Not only did Young Master care for me so much that he noticed me gone instantly, but he even watched me as I was defenseless!' The more she thought about how caring Xue Bai was, the more her ego became inflated.

"Well, yes to that as well, but mainly because I don't have anything to do today, so I sat on your side cultivating. This way, if anything happened during your transformation, I could tell mother instantly." Xue Bai explained his thoughts.

Though Xue Bai's logic-filled explanation did serve to deflate her ego slightly, Xiao'er was still on cloud 9.

"No need to be shy, Young Master! After all, if I were you, I would not only do the same but even worship myself." Xiao'er laughed as she patted Xue Bai on the shoulder.

"It's a good thing we are who we are and not switched." Xue Bai said plainly as he took the hand of Xiao'er off his shoulder.

"It's already 8 PM, Xiao'er. What do you want to do?" Xue Bai asked as he made himself at home by lying down on the bed of Xiao'er.

Xiao'er knowing what he wanted, went onto the bed as well and put his head on her lap as she thought about what to do.

'It's already too late to go out to Snowy Wind City. And Young Master has already cultivated for so long, so his veins must be sore.' As Xiao'er went through the possibilities in her head, she realized she didn't know what to do.

"I don't know what to do, Young Master. It seems that Xiao'er already wasted most of today asleep." Xiao'er answered as she combed her fingers through his hair.

Xue Bai was also at a loss until he remembered something interesting that was happening today.

Though the plot had yet to begin, small events that led to it were in motion. And tonight, Huo Chen was going to go back to his home of the Huo Clan. He had long heard of Huo Long's accident, but as he was busy with work and far away from the territory, he hadn't gone to visit his nephew. So after backing it back to the Dukedom, he would ask Xue Feng for permission to go back home. And on the way, he was going to be assassinated.

Xue Bai, knowing the plot, would never let that happen, so he broke a communication crystal for his parents.

And in less than 30 seconds, both of his parents were in the room.

"Bai'er, what happened? If it was just Xiao'er waking up, you could've just called me. Why did you also call Husband?" Li Rou asked.

"Yes, Bai'er, I was in the middle of something. What was so important for you to call me?" Xue Feng asked as he looked visibly annoyed.

"Father has Commander Huo left the Estate yet?" Xue Bai asked as he quickly got to the point.

"That is what I was doing. Huo Chen came to me asking for permission to leave. But since you broke the communication crystal, I left him in the office." Xue Feng answered.

"Good! Father, we can have a chance to do some more damage to the Wang Clan!" Xue Bai spoke excitedly as he jumped off of the bed.

Though his parents were confused about his words, after Xue Bai told them what was going to happen, they soon realized why he was so excited.

"Bai'er, are these also from your memories?" Xue Feng asked.

Xue Bai nodded to his words and continued, "Though I don't know the strengths of the assailants, the assassination happened very close to Snowy Wind City, so you two can go and clean them up before any opponent forces notice your disappearance."

"But Bai'er, how are we going to know where it takes place?" Li Rou asked.

"Didn't Father just say that Huo Chen hasn't left yet? So you two can follow him. He's the target. Wherever he is, is where the assassination is going to take place." Xue Bai replied simply.

After Li Rou heard the extremely simple answer, she felt her previous question was a little dumb, so as not to let Xue Bai see her faint blush, she pulled Xue Feng out of the room and went to where Huo Chen was.

"Xiao'er, I got us some entertainment! Would you like to see Mother and Father fight?" Xue Bai asked with a cheeky smile.

Seeing his face, though Xiao'er knew it was up to no good, she was also interested, so she answered, "Wherever Young Master goes, Xiao'er will follow."

"Good answer, my maid! Now follow my parents!" Xue Bai spoke excitedly as he went over to the main hall.

Quickly running over, the two managed to arrive just as Huo Chen left the estate. Though his parents were still inside the Main Hall discussing the plan.

"Mother, Father! Xiao'er and I want to watch the assassination attempt and the fight!" Xue Bai announced as he walked in.

"No! No way. The fight that is going to happen is way about your cultivation. Just the after-shocks alone could kill you." Li Rou instantly went to refuse.

But Xue Bai anticipated her answer and persuaded, "Mother people who are going after Commander Chen are merely going to be in the Law Manifestation Realm at most. You two are Peak Stage Domain Lords. There won't even be much of a fight but instead just a full-scale suppression. Plus, you guys could take Uncle Huo to watch me if anything."

Xue Feng, after hearing that, was all for the idea. He had planned to show his might to Xue Bai eventually. So doing it sooner was even better. And after convincing Li Rou, both of the parents agreed.
