Chapter 1071: The Origin of Bai Xiuxiu
Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: The Origin of Bai Xiuxiu
Purely from the perspective of Soul Power, it had already become difficult to determine her current level of cultivation. Lan Xuanyu could only vaguely sense that Bai Xiuxiu’s current state might have already been close to the peak of a Soul Douluo. This was the scenery produced by a complete fusion with the Demon Queen.
This enhancement, for Bai Xiuxiu, was undoubtedly a leap. One could imagine how immense the value of that Dragon Power was. This further solidified Lan Xuanyu’s thoughts.
“Xuanyu, there’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you, but I’ve been hesitating about whether I should say it. Senior Demon Queen was right, I shouldn’t immerse myself in past sorrows forever. It’s time for me to move on,” Bai Xiuxiu said, her voice slightly choked as she buried her head in his embrace.
“As long as you want to talk, I’m always here to listen. If you don’t want to, don’t force yourself.” Lan Xuanyu gently stroked her long hair, embracing her delicate body, feeling a uniquely wonderful sense of fulfillment in his heart.
“I want to talk. Actually, I’m not human,” Bai Xiuxiu said softly.
Lan Xuanyu was slightly startled, “Not human?”
“Yes, I am a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that has cultivated into human form. Or rather, I was originally the Devil Soul Great White Shark. My cultivation of a hundred thousand years transformed into re-cultivating as a human,” Bai Xiuxiu said in a low voice.
Lan Xuanyu looked at her in surprise. Although he had always known that Bai Xiuxiu was different from normal Soul Masters, he really hadn’t guessed that she was a soul beast.
“Do you, do you not like me anymore? Although I’m a soul beast, after my recultivation surpassed seven rings, I officially transformed into a human. That’s why I now dare to tell you,” Bai Xiuxiu raised her head, looking at him somewhat anxiously.
Even she didn’t know when exactly she had become unable to leave the man before her.
Lan Xuanyu laughed, “Silly girl, what are you talking about? Nana is not human either! And she is my mom. That means I’m not purely human either! What are you worried about?”
Bai Xiuxiu looked into his eyes, and gradually, her body relaxed, she punched him lightly on the shoulder, “Looks like you have a strong will to live.”
Lan Xuanyu held her even tighter, “Of course, I have to be strong. In my heart, you are the most important. How could I let you worry? I wouldn’t even dare to tease you.”
After quite a while, Bai Xiuxiu softly said, “I am the Devil Soul Great White Shark. Actually, the reason I transformed into a human was to repay a debt of gratitude.”
“A debt of gratitude?” Lan Xuanyu asked in surprise, “What debt?”
Bai Xiuxiu explained, “Originally, I lived freely and happily in the icy seas of the far northern lands. I am the princess of the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan. Our clan is one of the mightiest in the far northern lands. Only the Evil Killer Whale Clan could compete against us, and they were our sworn enemies. But our Devil Soul Great White Shark clan is also very powerful, nearly equal to them.”
“One day, I met a man. He said he was here to undergo a trial, wanting to cause trouble for the evil killer whales, so I led him to find the evil killer whales. He was truly powerful, defeating the evil killer whales with just his own strength. They were our nemesis! Without these nemeses, my people could reproduce and live even more blissfully.”
“I always thought that day would be the luckiest day of my life, but little did I know, it would also become my most painful day. When I returned to my clan, I found all my kin had died, dad, and mom too. Only I remained in our tribe.”
Lan Xuanyu was shocked, “The ferocious beast was that man?”
“No, it wasn’t. It was the Deep Sea Devil Whale King. With a cultivation of a million years, it was the most terrifying existence in the entire ocean. However, according to legend, the Deep Sea Devil Whale King was supposed to have died long ago. I don’t know why, but suddenly there appeared an even more powerful Deep Sea Devil Whale King, who exterminated my tribe and killed my dad and mom. At that time, I just felt everything turn cold. It was then that I realized how painful it is to be without a family.”
“Later, I saw that man again. That man was fighting the human form of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King. In the end, the man who had eliminated the Evil Killer Whale Clan also killed the Deep Sea Devil Whale King, avenging my dad and mom.”
“But I don’t know why, it seemed like something important had happened. The sky and earth changed colors, and I passed out. When I woke up, it seemed like everything had ended, as if there had been a war. But I do not know how that war ended. Gradually remembering the death of my parents and the annihilation of my kin, I fell into a coma again in my grief.”
“When I woke up again, it seemed a long, long time had passed. I wandered alone in the icy seas, utterly lost about what to do. It was so painful, so painful. So, I began my cultivation to become stronger. My parents had once told me that if I could cultivate to the hundred-thousand-year state, I could transform into a human form. I wanted to become human, because humans seemed so powerful. I wanted to find the man who had killed the Deep Sea Devil Whale King, to show my gratitude.”
“Finally, after a long time, I reached the hundred-thousand-year state, and I could finally transform into human form. But perhaps because the memories of the past were too painful, I forgot a lot of things. I was rescued as an orphan and somehow ended up being assigned to Tiandou Star. What happened after that, you already know.”
Lan Xuanyu looked down at her, he had not expected Bai Xiuxiu to have such a tragic past. No wonder she often had emotional changes, especially when he had first met her.
“Have you found your benefactor then? You’ve cultivated for so many years, he must have long since …” Lan Xuanyu said.
“No, he is still alive. I found him,” Bai Xiuxiu said softly.
Lan Xuanyu’s body shook, “You found him? Where is he?”
Bai Xiuxiu suddenly chuckled, “Perhaps, it’s because of that kindness, that fate gave me a chance to repay it. I couldn’t repay it directly to him, but I can repay it through his son. And I’m willing. Fool, think about it, when was the last time the legend of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King was told? Why have you suddenly become so dense?”
Lan Xuanyu’s mind seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, and he suddenly understood, exclaiming, “You mean, your benefactor is… Uncle Le?”
Yes! Historically, a thousand years ago, Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulin had indeed led the human army against the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane. And wasn’t the master of the Holy Spirit Cult the incarnation of the Deep Sea Devil Whale King? The very enemy Bai Xiuxiu mentioned.
Lan Xuanyu blankly looked at the person in his arms. So, it seems Bi Xiuxiu had also experienced that great battle, even if she hadn’t been directly involved.
Bai Xiuxiu said, “Senior Demon Queen was right, I really should be satisfied. To me, everything now is perfect. Being with you makes me very happy, I like you, and you are also the son of my benefactor. It’s different from those in the novels. The characters there are much more miserable. Most of them end up loving the child of their enemy. Xuanyu, I am truly happy, do you know that?”
Lan Xuanyu coughed, wiping away the tears that had spilled from her eyes without realizing, “You shouldn’t cry when you’re happy. Come, let the son of your benefactor give you a kiss. It’s part of your repayment.”
