Waiting for You

[At nineteen, you fought against the undying abominations on the front lines of the Cloud Knights, gradually discovering that the Calamity-bringer Shuhu had been frequently causing trouble within the Xianzhou 'Luofu'. The abominations caused considerable damage to the Xianzhou, but fortunately, the Xianzhou 'Luofu's' General Tengxiao constantly deployed troops, and with the Five Kasas of the Cloud stationed on the 'Luofu', the losses caused by the abominations were minimized.]

[During the process of fighting the Abundance abominations on the front lines, the Cloud Knights who fell into Mara-struck could not be escorted to the Ten-Lords Commission and had to be dealt with on the spot. Because you were a short-lived species, even if you personally executed former comrades, there was no risk of falling into Mara-struck. Therefore, those in the army who fell into Mara-struck were mostly dealt with by your own hand.]

[The weapon "Soul Severance Sword" forged for you by Yingxing was affected by the Path of Destruction in the continuous process of killing, gradually adding an effect that could cause damage to spiritual bodies.]

[But at the same time, the long-term killing of comrades and former war buddies in the army also gave you the title of grim reaper.]

[Several months of fighting on the front lines put extreme pressure on your mental state, but you thought of how Master Jingliu had been like this for hundreds of years, day after day, year after year, constantly beheading Abundance abominations and former comrades.]

[Once, when you saw her personally kill a familiar Cloud Knight soldier, those eyes as bright as blood seemed to really tell of sorrow.]

[At the end of the year, through the efforts of the Xianzhou natives, the Vidya Clan, the Foxians, and other races, the Xianzhou 'Luofu' got a moment of respite. The Calamity-bringer Shuhu also seemed to show its rare human touch at this moment, and did not cause trouble as the end of the year approached.]

[Just returning to the Xianzhou 'Luofu', you contacted that online friend Wuxia Feiguang to tell her about the depression of the past few months. After carefully listening to the pressure in your heart, the other party asked, "Logically speaking, you should want the concern of your master sister the most right now, why are you coming to me?"]

[Bai Heng quickly gave the answer: "Master sister should not be feeling well right now, so I don't want to disturb her. And after thinking about it, you're the only friend I have left who I can confide in."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "Don't try to get close, we're not familiar."]

[Bai Heng: "Say whatever you want. Anyway, we've known each other for seven years... Actually, if I hadn't met Master sister, I might have fallen for you."]

[After a moment of silence, Wuxia Feiguang replied with two words: "Scumbag."]

[Bai Heng: "I'm just saying there's a possibility."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "When you have this idea, that means you're not loyal to your master sister."]

[Bai Heng: "Alright, alright, alright, anyway, I'm wholeheartedly devoted to Master sister, even if you want me to be a scumbag, I wouldn't."]

[After Bai Heng sent this message, the other party didn't reply for a long time.]

[Bai Heng continued to ask: "Seriously, why don't we meet up once? You're a Xianzhou native, but I'm just a short-lived species from outside the realm, with only a hundred years in my life. Maybe in a few years I'll be old and less good-looking, then it'll be my turn to not want to see you."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "...Let me think about it."]

[Seeing that there was really a chance, Bai Heng pressed on while the iron was hot: "If you're willing to meet me, I'll go cook two dishes to go with wine right now, and then take out Master sister's hidden good wine. Anyway, you like to drink too."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "Uh... does your master sister know that you're stealing her hidden wine?"]

[Bai Heng: "That's not important, at most I'll get a beating and go to the Alchemy Commission to apply some medicine."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "Looks like you can take a beating."]

[Bai Heng: "I got used to it from being beaten."]

[Wuxia Feiguang: "Alright then, tonight... I'll be waiting for you on the roof of the east house in Sword Champion Manor."]
