In the Clouds (3)

Chang Xiao did not open her mouth again, and attacked with a whip.

The long whip was like a thunder snake, and the inn was thundered for a time, and the cold light suddenly flashed, like ice and snow.

The long river was dumped, and heavy rain came pouring in. The water vaporized into black clouds, covering this small inn.

The tables, chairs and benches shook.

Huai Bai was motionless, like a leaf swaying in the rain, and it was about to ruin and fall.

Zhang Li said in astonishment, “Is this heaven’s thunder?”

Zhao Hengyu smiled, proudly said: “This is my master’s method of comprehension from the thunder.”

Thousands of whip and shadows are intertwined, dense and thick like a thundercloud, among which the electric snake swims and the blue light disappears.

Zhang Li couldn’t help sighing: “What a calamity.”

Pei Yu curled her lips. Compared to the real heaven’s thunder, this was nothing more than a bluff.

She had already seen where the method of breaking the move was, but Master… Pei Yu’s eyes couldn’t help but show a little worry, and then turned into fierceness, the red light in her eyes became more and more, and the look can barely be covered.

With a calm face, Huai Bai raised her hand, with her index finger facing forward, her thumb and index finger forming a figure eight, and the other three fingers curled up to make a strange gesture.

“What is she doing?”

Zhang Li shook his head, “Could it be Gushan’s new method?”

“Where is there such a way?”

Huai Bai bends her thumb, opens her sandal lips lightly, and says: “Biu~”

Suddenly, the wind stopped, the clouds disappeared, and the rain stopped.

Chang Xiao’s body froze, a shallow scar appeared on the corner of her left eye, and blood was drawn from the pale paper surface.

“Master!” Zhao Hengyu hurried over, “Are you okay?”

Chang Xiao just stared at Huai Bai, “I lost.”

Huai Bai turned her wrist slightly, made a posture of retracting the sword and returning it to its sheath, and said with a smile: “You let me win.”

(T/N: the original Chinese characters for you let me win has a slightly different meaning to the standard English sentence; saying that is being polite and humble after winning a game)

Chang Xiao asked, “Is it a sword that you just used?”

Huai Bai reached out to Pei Yu, “Apprentice, Master will take you away.”

The woman’s hands were warm and soft, and Pei Yu couldn’t help holding her as she thought of the sword just now.

Huai Bai held the child back and smiled: “In the future, it will be fine to follow the master.”

Chang Xiao lost the bet so she accepted the loss, and made a way out, watching Huai Bai slowly walk by with the child.

The woman’s long feathers gleamed under the warm yellow candlelight, like rain and the sky, the azure blue color venting from the thick clouds.

“Peak Master,” Chang Xiao couldn’t help but asked: “Is the Peak Master really ruined?”

As soon as she said a word, everyone fell silent, the inn was dead silent, and the sound of the lights bursting was clearly audible.

Pei Yu looked up incredulously.

Huai Bai stood in front of her with her back very straight, dressed in a green shirt, like a pavilion pine and cypress. The wind could not move her, the snow could not crush her.

Obviously Master is a bad cultivator… Why is there such a momentum?

Pei Yu was a little puzzled, but her heart beat a little faster.

Huai Bai turned her head, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her eyebrows were sharp like a wanton girl, so arrogant that people did not dare to look directly.

“If your spiritual roots are destroyed, you can’t cultivate?”

“Have you recovered?” Zhang Li looked shocked.

Huai Bai didn’t answer, just raised her hand to them, smiled and said, “Biubiubiu~”

Everyone hurriedly avoided, and the inn suddenly jumped, and Tianxin’s long monk robe was stepped on by several footsteps.

After the battle, they found that the imaginary blood was splashed on the spot, and the scene of the ground splitting apart did not happen.

“Out.” Chang Xiao said.

Zhao Hengyu came out from behind his guardian device, “It scares me to death, what exactly is the move biubiubiu? Does Gushan have such a way?” He imitated Huai Bai’s gestures, and followed the gestures: ” Biu~biubiu~”

Zhang Li just looked at the door with solemn expressions, the two figures had long since disappeared in the rain.

Huai Bai and Pei Yu ride on a huge treasure ship.

The treasure ship is suspended in the air, covered with auspicious light, to isolate the rain.

Huai Bai lay on the boat board with her head resting on her hands, watching the rain at night, and couldn’t help feeling: “This thing made by Jianyi is quite useful.”

The child around her hasn’t spoken for a long time.

Huai Bai tilted her head and smiled: “What? Tired?”

Pei Yu clenched her hands, her eyes were red, and her lips quivered a few times before she asked with difficulty, “Master, why… the spiritual roots are all ruined?”

“Ah…” Huai Bai thought for a while, and then said, “This is actually a very clichéd story.”

“There were a few good friends in the past, they downloaded the instance together, forgot to bring milk, and then the group died.” Huai Bai sighed sadly, “So, you must bring milk to play the file.”

(T/N: the instance as in downloading the same copy of a game, it’s an online gaming term and her reference is also to playing an online game with a party of friends)

Seeing the child looking at herself ignorantly, she laughed out loud, “Actually, I lied to them.”

Pei Yu didn’t understand, “Huh?”

Huai Bai laughed and said, “How could I have lost all my spiritual roots. My apprentice, you will know in the future that being a genius is too tiring.”

Pei Yu silently agreed, she was really tired.

“So, it’s more enjoyable to be a waste wood, eating and waiting to die all day. Although they think I am bronze, but in fact I am the king.” Huai Bai smiled and said, “How cool is that.”

(T/N: for non-gamers out there, bronze is generally a very low rank in competitive games with rankings with bronze being one of the lowest ranks; king refers to her being the strongest, it’s not an actual ranking name)

Pei Yu doesn’t know what bronze or king is, but she vaguely understands what she means.

“Master feels too tired?”

Huai Bai looked up at the night rain, and smiled: “Yes, although I knew what I was going to do from the beginning, for so many years, it is really… you still don’t understand.”

“Master.” Pei Yu looked at her without blinking.

Huai Bai smiled and looked at her. Behind the child were the thunderclouds, the rain splashing in the sky, the flashing electric snakes. She knelt on the ground with her hands on her knees, her mouth tightly pressed, her eyes firm, “Master if you feel you are tired, I will protect you and I will work hard to become stronger.”

Huai Bai was stunned, then rushed over to hold the child in her arms and rubbed her head vigorously, “Good apprentice, why are you so good?”

Obviously born in the mud, but a saint’s heart grew so big.

Pei Yu was a little dizzy when she was rubbed, bit her lip, and shouted aggrievedly: “Master…”

The child’s voice was soft, and the voice of milk was milky, and Huaibo’s heart enjoyed hearing it. Her previous apprentices couldn’t worry about each other. Where did she meet such a well-behaved child, so she hugged Pei Yu and didn’t let go. The voice replied: “Hey~”

(T/N: every time milk or milky is used as an adjective to describe something or someone, it means that the aforementioned person or thing is childlike; example of kittens being called milk cats to show that they’re still babies)

At this time, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the rolling black clouds pressed against them.

Pei Yu was unstable, and after shaking for a few times, she suddenly fell on Huai Bai’s chest.

Soft and fragrant… Pei Yu’s eyes were full of fresh water vapor, and her face was burnt red. When she was about to stand up, she was pressed back to her chest.

Huai Bai didn’t realize that this posture was wrong, and only said, “The apprentice don’t move, there is a demon crossing the border.”

Demon? Was it attracted by the blood mist? Pei Yu leaned on the soft chest of the person under her, thinking dazedly.

Black clouds that cover the sky are rolling like locusts, and the huge treasure ship is like a small lone boat in the waves, swaying with the wind and rain, and it is crumbling.

Huai Bai guarded the child and waved her sleeve at the black cloud.

The black cloud paused, and then retreated at a speed several times faster than before, and fled to the east.

Huai Bai pointed her hand and commanded the treasure ship, “Chase it!”
