Chapter 134 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (3)
Yaoyao understood that relying on herself alone, she might not be able to kill this devil leader.
She could give up the chance to live, she could also give up her feelings for her betrothed, as long as this devil leader could die and the great vengeance be avenged.
Bai Tang consoled, “Yaoyao, I don’t want your body, just borrowing it temporarily. At most, for ten years, I’ll leave, and your body will still be yours. Your life is long.”
“I only want to kill this devil leader, I don’t ask for anything else.” The deep hatred from the blood feud lingered in Yaoyao’s mind.
“This is not a matter of asking or not asking—what is yours is yours. I am a bit of an uninvited guest. At most, within ten years, I’ll leave. The situation with this devil leader is very special, we have to plan our moves carefully.”
“I promise you, it’s just ten years, and I can wait. The hatred from the blood feud is the most important.” Yaoyao trusted her judgment on this unfamiliar woman.
Bai Tang inquired further, “Young Lady Yaoyao, could you please provide more details about what happened? If the mental burden is too heavy, don’t force yourself. You are still very weak now.”
Yaoyao calmed her emotions a bit before slowly explaining, “The Blood Devil Cult’s people are like a group of devils. I am Bai Tang, the daughter of the dignified head of the Wind Guardian Hall, Bai Kou. My nickname is Yaoyao. Our Wind Guardian Hall works as bodyguards, and as long as we show the Wind Guardian Hall’s emblem, no one dares to rob the goods under the protection of our escort.”
“My Wind Guardian Hall also has a unique martial art technique called Graceful Steps Over Ripples. Those who master it can walk on water without leaving a trace, stepping on leaves to move silently. It is an advanced light-foot technique known only to the core members of my family. But somehow, this devil leader knew about it. He led the vile members of the Blood Devil Cult to our Wind Guardian Hall to forcibly seize the technique. My parents naturally resisted, and this devil leader killed everyone in the Wind Guardian Hall. My parents, my cousins, my sisters, and the senior and junior brothers and sisters who grew up with me all fell in front of me.”
Bai Tang could feel Yaoyao’s grief very clearly. Thanks to her being in Yaoyao’s body, she could still keep Yaoyao from dissipating.
Bai Tang asked, “Yaoyao, did this technique fall into his hands?”
“No, Graceful Steps Over Ripples is only passed down to males, not females. Each generation’s head learns it, destroys the manual after mastering it. As a daughter, I don’t have the qualification to learn this technique. My parents originally planned to wait until they had a son to pass it on, but my father had health problems and couldn’t have more children. They planned to wait until I got married and had a second son, who would take my surname, and then pass it on to the second son. But it didn’t happen in time.”
Bai Tang was quite speechless. Passing down only to sons and not to daughters—what was the problem with having a daughter? After all, wasn’t a daughter also half the bloodline of the father and half of the mother? Just because she was a daughter, she couldn’t learn. Oh, now their cultivation technique was directly cut off.
The inheritance was not supposed to be limited by gender.
“Besides your family, Young Lady Yaoyao, do you have anyone else you know?”
“I have a betrothed, Tantai Ziheng, the Young Villa Master of the Divine Sword Villa. I have a jade pendant in my arms, the Yin-Yang Twin Fish Pendant. I wear the Yin pendant, and Ziheng wears the Yang pendant. They are tokens of our engagement between the two families. Originally, we were supposed to marry after I turned eighteen.”
Yaoyao spoke with a hint of despair.
“Now, Young Lady Bai, you have also seen the disaster that befell the Wind Guardian Hall. I have an unpleasant request. I hope you can agree.”
Bai Tang spoke warmly, “Young Lady Yaoyao, please tell me.”
“Please, Young Lady Bai, take the Yin pendant and go to the Divine Sword Villa to break off the engagement as soon as possible. The devil leader is too powerful. I am already an orphan and no longer worthy of Ziheng. Moreover, I cannot let him wait for us for ten years. He cannot wait for ten years…”
Bai Tang agreed. Whether they have fate or not, time will tell.
To ensure that Yaoyao could regain control of her body when Bai Tang leaves, Bai Tang allowed her to rest and recover well.
The sword through her heart and beside her heart was not an exaggeration. Currently, it was solely Bai Tang’s soul supporting this body, or else it would have been lost.
