Eternal vanity
Chapter 55
When Bai Chen woke up again, there was no one in the white space. There was only a white robe full of Spiritual Qi beside him, and Chi Yuexian, who was shivering in the corner.
Bai Chen had just woken up. His mind was in a mess for a while, and then he slowly remembered everything. He lowered his head and carefully checked his body. Suddenly, his face darkened.
Every inch of his skin was as white as jade, shiny and delicate. It was even fairer and more delicate than a girl's skin. But that was not the point. The point was that he looked like he was only 16 or 17 years old!
And he looked like a teenager!
Bai Chen was speechless. Was there not enough Ice Condensing Lotus Seeds?
Did he have to relive his youth again?
Bai Chen pulled up the robe and put it on quickly. It fit him perfectly. The white robe was full of Spiritual Qi. It was a treasure.
Then he understood the situation from Chi Yuexian. Yue Kongming's real spirit had disappeared after Bai Chen's reconstruction. He only asked Chi Yuexian to tell him that a part of the power of the Painting World Fan had been integrated into his body. In other words, he was half the owner of the Moon Palace's secret land. As long as he was in the secret land, he could tear the space apart and go anywhere in the secret land with just a thought.
Moreover, he had a certain amount of pressure on everything in the secret land. Otherwise, how could he be on par with the Shenhuang when he had just reached the first grade of the Divine Throne?
Bai Chen then took Chi Yuexian to the sea of flowers where Li Chuan was. He gave the Painting World Fan to Li Chuan without any explanation. He was not strong enough now. He was afraid that such an important secret land's core would be coveted by others. Under Li Chuan's incredulous gaze, he sat down under the flower tree, held his breath and began to cultivate to stabilize his cultivation.
He had passed the Tribulation of Heaven's Punishment. He had broken through the Nine Arts of Fallen Immortals and reached the Divine Throne. Bai Chen decisively chose to open Little Green's Life Space. It was full of the purest Wood Spiritual Qi in the world. Both strange beasts and spiritual plants loved it. This space was the best place to cultivate rare spiritual herbs.
After Li Chuan learned about it, he immediately went to the center of the lake where the spiritual energy was the most abundant, and carefully picked up a brilliant blue-green lotus from the roots. He even drew a small part of the water in the lake into the vitality space, creating a small lake in the vitality space.
Bai Chen gratefully accepted the lotus flower and planted it under Li Chuan's repeated instructions.
Just like that, he leisurely cultivated in the sea of flowers for a period of time. Suddenly, he sensed that Qiao Qiao and Ye Jin's lives were in danger. Without saying goodbye to Li Chuan, he tore through space and went to rescue them.
And then this happened.
"Wahahahahaha, Boss, you're fine!
You're not dead!
How can you not die … How can you not die … Wahahaha … "
Qiao Qiao hugged Bai Chen and jumped up and down, talking nonsense excitedly.
Bai Chen rolled his eyes and hit Qiao Qiao's chestnut. He snappily scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Boss didn't die, did he?"
Qiao Qiao grinned and let go. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare …"
Ye Jin also hugged Bai Chen excitedly and then asked, "Are you really Yun Qingxiao?!"
At this time, Bai Chen shook his head, making Qiao Qiao and Ye Jin puzzled.
Qiao Qiao's Boss was Yun Qingxiao, and Chuckle was Yun Qingxiao.
Bai Chen inexplicably wanted to scold himself for being stupid. How was he going to explain that he had taken over Yun Qingxiao's body?
Under Qiao Qiao and Ye Jin's intense scrutiny, Bai Chen felt a little guilty. "Uh … How should I put it? I'm pretending to be Yun Qingxiao. I'm not Yun Qingxiao …"
Even Bai Chen didn't believe such a fake sentence, but the two of them believed it just like that!
They were all brothers who had gone through life and death together. Ye Jin and Qiao Qiao naturally believed Bai Chen's words completely.
Ye Jin said, "Then what's your real name?"
Qiao Qiao was also very curious. For some reason, he was convinced. No wonder he could be safe and sound under the siege of the Di and Zhou families. It turned out that he wasn't Yun Qingxiao.
Bai Chen was speechless for a while. He wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have such a cheap mouth?!
"You might not believe it, but my real name is Bai … Chen."
Bai Chen smiled guiltily and said his real name boldly. He thought to himself that there were many people in the world with the same name anyway.
"What!?"
Qiao Qiao and Ye Jin's eyes widened in shock. They shouted at Bai Chen as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Qiao Qiao was anxious to confirm that he didn't hear wrongly. He grabbed Bai Chen's sleeve and stared at Bai Chen nervously. "Boss, say that again!"
"Bai Chen." This time, Bai Chen enunciated clearly.
"Hiss —" Qiao Qiao sucked in a breath of cold air. He still couldn't believe it.
Bai Chen's breath stagnated. His heart was in his throat. It was said that Bai Chen's family motto was not to bully his brothers. However, he was too reckless.
Ye Jin understood. He had the same thought as Bai Chen. He patted Qiao Qiao's shoulder helplessly and said, "Brother Qiao, you worry too much. There are too many people with the same name in the world. Brother Bai just happens to have the same name as Swordsman Baichen. Do you think Bai Chen will calmly appear in front of the Nine Super Clans?
Moreover, he is sworn brothers with Young Master Family Ye and Young Master Qiao? "
Bai Chen's heart tightened. Although the crisis of identity was over, he sadly found that there seemed to be a barrier between him and Qiao Qiao and Ye Jin. The difference in identity kept them at the extremes of hostility. They couldn't really give their hearts to each other.
Bai Chen was disappointed. Fate made fools of him. He wanted to, but he was powerless. In the end, he still had to be alone.
"That's true."
Qiao Qiao was slightly disappointed. However, he immediately became excited. His boss was someone he admired a lot. Moreover, he had the same name as his idol!
He was so happy that he was about to explode.
Bai Chen's white hair fell. There was a hint of undetectable worry in his blood-red eyes. He smiled warmly and said, "Let's go. The Di Clan won't let this go.
Qiao Qiao, this sword is for you. I don't need it. "
Bai Chen was now the master of the Secret Realm. No matter how powerful the Loathe Immortal was, it had to submit to him. However, Bai Chen felt that it wasn't convenient. It was far inferior to his Fuchen Sword.
The Fuchen Sword had followed Bai Chen for many years. It had already developed spirituality. It was very awkward for Bai Chen to use this ownerless sword.
Qiao Qiao recalled Bai Chen's noble and cold aura when he wielded the sword. He was very touched. He took the sword and decided to cultivate diligently. He would work hard to catch up to Bai Chen's footsteps. He would definitely not be a burden to Bai Chen!
Qiao Qiao wiped his hand on the Loathe Immortal Sword. Blood flowed out and was instantly absorbed by the sword. The Loathe Immortal Sword suddenly burst out with a white light. It instantly turned into a purple sword light in Qiao Qiao's hand. The power of thunder contained in it. The patterns on the sword also turned into a faint purple color.
Qiao Qiao was delighted. This sword had already recognized its master. Its own attribute had also changed to the thunder attribute that matched Qiao Qiao's.
Bai Chen smiled. Just as he was about to walk, he suddenly felt uneasy. His sea of consciousness instantly surged with monstrous waves. The Wudao Coin also became restless.
Painting World Fan!
Ye Jin felt that something was wrong with Bai Chen. He patted Bai Chen's shoulder and asked, "Are you alright?"
Bai Chen frowned. It seemed that something had happened in Li Chuan. He had to rush back.
Bai Chen hurriedly said to Qiao Qiao and Wen Ziqing, "You two should find a place to hide for now. Don't appear for a while. It would be bad if the Di Clan found you. Especially Ye Jin. I suspect that the Di Clan did something to your bloodline essence. Give it up now."
"I have something urgent to do. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he hurriedly tore through space and disappeared from where he was, leaving the two of them in a mess.
"This …" Ye Jin hugged Wen Ziqing and looked at Qiao Qiao in confusion.
Qiao Qiao shook his head helplessly. He hugged Ye Jin's shoulder and said jokingly, "Hey, just believe in Boss. Boss has a lot of secrets. If he doesn't tell us, it won't be good for us. Boss is always elusive. You'll get used to it."
If Bai Chen were here, he would definitely be very gratified. He would praise Qiao Qiao for being a good brother and for understanding him.
At this moment, Bai Chen had already appeared on the shore of the Frozen Lake. He immediately saw Li Chuan holding the Painting World Fan, which was glowing with dazzling starlight. He also saw Li Chuan's calm expression.
"What happened?" Bai Chen hurriedly walked over.
Li Chuan's delicate face was illuminated by the starlight in the Frozen Lake, which was perpetually dark. She was indescribably beautiful.
Fu Yan also greeted Bai Chen with a smile. The bright red color at the corners of her eyes was very conspicuous. "Hehe, a lot of the Painting World Fan was taken away by that mighty being from the upper realm when you were reconstructing it. It doesn't have the power to support this huge mystic realm for now."
Bai Chen rubbed his chin and pondered.
Li Chuan looked at the Painting World Fan and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the handsome and calm Bai Chen. Her heart instantly raced and her ears turned red.
This … Could this be … what humans meant by liking someone?
Fu Yan continued, "The Painting World Fan is about to seal itself and recover its power. Everyone who has come to the mystic realm will be forced out of the mystic realm. Thus, if you have any unfinished business in the remaining time, you should finish it as soon as possible."
Li Chuan gave Bai Chen a faint smile. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as the bottom of a lake, reflecting the stars in the sky.
Bai Chen returned a warm smile. Speaking of which, he really did have some unfinished business. There wasn't much time left.
"En, thank you, Li Chuan. Thank you for your help these past few days. I'll leave this Painting World Fan to you. It'll be a memento." Bai Chen didn't linger. After bidding farewell to Fu Yan and Li Chuan, he immediately left the Frozen Lake.
"En."
Li Chuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She looked in the direction that Bai Chen had left in silence.
Fu Yan said, "Since you like him, why didn't you let him take you with him?"
Li Chuan smiled at Fu Yan. She was happy from the bottom of her heart. "He has already taken me with him."
After saying this, she sweetly entered the Frozen Lake with the fan.
When Fu Yan heard this, she was stunned. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly thought of something. Her young face was filled with shock. She couldn't help but say, "It's that …!"
Li Chuan hugged the Painting World Fan and stayed in the lake. Her beautiful blue-green hair floated. She didn't reply. She only smiled.
Fu Yan's expression softened. It was as if she was blaming Li Chuan. She also seemed to be muttering to herself, "So willful …"
It was fated, even if it was beyond redemption.
… …
Bai Chen tore through space and arrived in the distance from the Mirror Lake. The Mirror Lake was still as calm as ever. Bai Chen saw a warm bonfire from afar. Yun Xiangdong and Yun Yueyang were sitting around it. They seemed to be conversing.
Bai Chen naturally came here to deal with Yun Xiangdong and his brother. To be honest, Bai Chen really didn't know how to face them. After all, he wasn't Yun Qingxiao right now.
