"A dirty mouth is not enough? You even want your voice to be loud and clear? Do you want to grow up to be a lady or a bear?"
Ye Mo's mouth kept twitching when he heard Little Yin mutter some inconceivable nonsense under her breath.
He had completely lost all face today. Thinking about it, it seemed like ever since this little brat appeared in the forest on the outskirts of Leaf City, nothing good had ever happened whenever she's around.
He picked her up from a massacre ground which already spelled a bad omen.
His residence was literally raided out of desserts and snacks in a single night.
The front yard of his manor was half-destroyed by the

28 - Her First ExcursionBefore Yin could say more, she was already being whisked away by a scarlet-faced Ye Mo. He was gritting his teeth, running like a mama tiger bringing away her cub from hunters hot on their heels."This Ye Mo bids the Third Princess farewell!" he shouted without even bothering to look over his shoulder."Elder Ye—"In a flash, Ye Mo and Yin were out of the broken pocket dimension and were only a few breaths away from leaving the Patriarch's Main Hall.Yin furiously yanked a fistful of Ye Mo's long hair. "My spoils of war! Aah! Don't leave them behind! One of my pouches still has space! Get back there, old fogey! At least let me fill it up to the brim!"Ye Mo

29 - A Double-edged Sword"So, when are you leaving?"Those words came out toneless and dull, heartless even, perfectly exuding a kind of sagely nonchalance only those with utter disregard to the world could pull off.Coupled with Ye Mo's disinterested expression and cold stance... well, who was this old fogey trying to hoodwink? A real five-year-old kid?Yin would not be Yin if she bought this obvious scam.Standing right beside him, she could technically see his hands trembling. His paleness literally screamed, 'I am affected by this!'Besides, he was acting way too stiff!What a noob!"No wonder

30 - It Was The Stick!"Old fogey, you lousy thick-skulled sorry excuse of a cultivator!" Yin hissed through gritted teeth as she ran up towards what she remembered to be the direction of the old fogey's residence. "Starting from now, I'll officially call you dumb fogey!"Starting from the lakeside pavilions, the stone paths that snaked and branched outwards towards other courtyards and manors were lined with flower-bearing trees and berry bushes. With the subtle fragrance in the air, together with the soft lights from the hanging lanterns, it made the place look soothing and sophisticated.But she was not being soothed!Yin was still oozing with annoyance!Nobody was around, but she was in too bad a mood to actually freakin' care wh

31 - Am I Someone You Can Irritate?!Yin was very, very unhappy.She wanted to fight, ah! She wanted to smash and beat up those annoying people!Especially that white-clothed man who threatened to cut off her limb. Li Xiao Yang? More like Li Xiao Hou(1)!Such a despicable monkey bullying a little girl in order to ingratiate himself to these colorful fancy-robed parrots, if she were a normal little girl, would she not have burst into tears in fright?If this little monkey did not deserve to be beaten up black and blue, then who deserved a beating?!However, with Ye Mo's appearance, she simply could no longer make a move. After all, now, the entire sect knew that she has Ye Mo as a backer.

32 - This Feels Much Better!'A fine lady is supposed to behave.''A fine lady is supposed to be virtuous.''A fine lady is supposed to… dammit, I am fine but not a lady, ah!'Even back in the Land of Celestial Deities, Yin was not best known for her pranks. No, she was infamous for her irritable personality and short temper, the nightmare of every mortal and immortal who happened to cross her path. She wasn't stingy when it came to giving face smacks, and her filter-free mouth could cause even the Thousand-armed Buddha to lose his temper.One would have thought that as a daughter of Primordial Chaos, who was praised to be more beautiful than the moon, she would be a woman as gentle as water and as pure as ice.

Say, that orchid pavilion by the lake looks perfect for a small intimate gathering."The frail boy in golden robes slowly stepped forward with his hands on his back, a dimpled smile hanging on his pale lips, simply nothing short of a young master preparing to take a leisurely stroll."Shall I have my servants prepare us several dishes for a banquet? Nothing too formal, just a meal between new friends."What an actor!Yin merely blinked at his words.She did not expect that a mere mortal boy around six- or seven-years-old could manage to speak with such calm and steadiness despite her intimidating

"Eat a little slower, eat a little slower, Little Yin.""Aiya! That is mine, you old fogey!""This is meat. Put more vegetables on your plate.""Uncle, your plate also has no vegetables."Fresh and tender meat from spiritual beasts, a rare catch of seafood from another city, different heavenly plants, ancient mushrooms, spicy herbs, vegetables, seeds and roots... it was a feast!As expected, Ye Mo and Little Yin started quarreling after annihilating the first round of food. Wu Xuan'er had to placate both sides before the table flipped over. Good thing she and the cook had prepared more than usual today, or else she and her husband would not be able to get a bite, much less eat dinner.

35 - Do You Think…Inside the largest and most luxurious courtyard within the territory of the Ye Sect, where the spiritual qi was so thick it was nearly in a constant misty state, a frail boy in golden robes sat cross-legged beside a cold-looking beauty of no more than sixteen years old.The cold-looking beauty wore a white robe covered by a gray patterned armor woven from soft volcanic silk and royal-grade vermillion feathers. On her chest and the sleeves, plum blossoms were intricately hand stitched. There lay a gray helmet with a purple plume on the wooden floor beside her cushion.The frail boy and the cold beauty were quietly sipping tea inside a room that allows viewing of the cherry blossom trees in the garden. However, right now it was winter. Although there was no snow accumulated outside because of the spe

Scholar Rai held the ancient scroll between two calloused fingers, studying the faded ink with narrowed eyes. The papyrus was brown with age, the content written in a verbose and grand manner, as was usually the case with writings from hundreds of years ago. Its importance could not be translated into words. In fact, it surprised him that his lord father managed to keep these imperial treasures away from the capital.It had taken him twice the usual time to understand the runes. He found himself impressively overwhelmed not only by the sheer historic importance of these documents, but also because the prophecies spoke of the expiration of the bloods of the Old.He feared that the first of the visions written have come into passing.The scrolls he found were written by the last of the true prophets, during a time of historic darkness, the Legaliath Cross, back when magic was free to be harnessed by every man and woman and child. The Legaliath Cross was a devastating war that decimated

"You find this funny, Silver?" This was the first time that Lakas had directly addressed her in a conversation. She could not help but shudder at the slight amusement that colored his normally stern voice. "He could have killed you."Her smile widened.Lakas almost mirrored her expression, but then when he realized that he had spectators in the form of the other three girls inside her cage, he erased any trace of emotion from his face. "The four of you are currently part of the most prized collection of the emperor, but let me warn you. Not all warriors in this camp think the same as I do. You girls are precious, but you are replaceable. Think before you act."As soon as he left, the oldest of the girls, a beauty with curly flaxen hair and foliage green eyes scooted close to her. It was the first time anyone attempted to communicate with her. Most of the time, she was simply left alone in her corner of the cage. "That man just protected you, Silver," Green Eyes laughed excitedly. "He

The survivors were placed in metal cages where the heathens could openly leer at them, appreciating the goods before they were sold. The young warrior called Lakas looked incredibly silly with parchment and quill in his bloody hands, and his annoyed look did not escape her when he was tasked to make an inventory of the slaves."Name?"While the prisoners around her sobbed and wailed for their losses, Enna merely tried to make herself small in a corner. She never spoke. She never raised her head.Lakas snatched her chin. He was scowling. "Name?"When she refused to answer, the bald man behind Lakas growled before backhanding her. "Stupid girl! Tell us your name so that we can be done with this sham and leave!"Elbows shaking, she sat up, gazing at them with tired silvery eyes. Still, she did not open her mouth."You – "Lakas stopped the man with a wave. "Drop it. I will simply write Silver."The man smirked. "Yes, a name befitting a horse."They could call her whatever they want. Why

*She woke up to a strangled sound akin to an injured animal.Crying.Someone was crying.As the sound grew louder, she stirred, slowly, groaning due to the escalating pain at the base of her skull. Opening her eyes, she saw bloody bodies around her. Bile rose, and she emptied the contents of her stomach into the scarlet snow. After a few fuzzy seconds, she realized with relief that most of the bodies around her appeared to be moving. Bloody, but alive. She profusely thanked the good Spirits that there were people who still lived, despite the nagging thought that most of them would have preferred to have died along with their dignity and families.Her arms and feet were bound. Bound with thick ropes. She tried to stretch her legs, grasping too late that she was merely a stride away from the big fire that her captors made.She flinched from the pain.It was the same kind of burning pain that paralyzed her before she blacked out.It was also her first memory. Awakened by a burning pain

The heathens burned the temples. They attacked the farms. They destroyed everything from tiny peasant homes to historical monuments more than hundreds of years old. People who resisted died. People who surrendered died. The snow-clad village of Cardia was stained red. Blood of men. Blood of women. Blood of children.The enemy's arrival was silent; their attack sudden. The sleepy spell brought by winter on the border village was broken by animalistic screams of pain. Cries of people burning were everywhere. There were shrieks of villagers dying. By midnight, half of Cardian population was slain mercilessly by the bronze-skinned men covered in wolf pelts.The invaders relished the sight of the pale people bleeding, enjoying every slash of sword and arrow released as the village burned. They meant to annihilate every Northerner. They were humans on bloodlust — hungry predators on the hunt.They proudly called themselves the sons of Summer. The Cardians called them heathens from the Sout

Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (3)A fair-skinned human girl no taller than the height of his waist, wearing a satin robe that was neither stained by blood or mud. Big eyes on a small face, perfectly arranged black hair in a style of braided bun, delicately balanced features that indicated she would surely grow into a gorgeous young lady given a few years.Her adorable appearance made one have an urge to pinch her chubby cheeks, and if there were any females around, Ye Mo felt that they would fawn over how the little girl looked like a beautiful living, breathing doll.‘And it’s not a sight that should be seen in the middle of a battlefield.’Ye Mo tried to open his mouth to say something, but he remained unable to utter even a single word.‘Dangerous.’It didn’t make sense, but that was what his intuition was telling Ye Mo. His body wasn’t responding—there was no flight impulse, no, there wasn’t even an attempt to fight against the girl, even if it’s a last act of survi

She felt like staying would give her a huge headache, but she was tied up by all the connections she made in this city.The Qing Blessed Lands had officially entered the state of war.Though communication was crippled, Little Yin was able to overhear the intelligence gathered by the hidden experts brought by the Purple Plumed General.Immortal Wuwei’s timely arrival managed to save Ye Sect and the entire Leaf City, but that wasn’t the same with the other cities.

264 - The Girl Who Cannot be Remembered (1) “Uncle, are you all right?” It was Ye Hua who first noticed that Ye Mo was acting strange. The man’s eyes were looking at the people in the room as if they were people he had not seen for a long time. There was recognition in his gaze, as well as a kind of dissonance. “Huh? Yeah…yeah…” After staying unconscious for days and almost crossing the fine line of life and death, it was reasonable for Ye Mo to be in a daze, and everyone thought so as well. But Ye Hua’s intuition was telling him that his uncle was not just confused, but actually not in a normal state of mind. However, he decided to stay quiet. Because he felt that Little Yin had something to do with this. The young man’s eyes glanced in the direction of the little girl, who brought them all towards the room saying that Ye Mo should be waking up soon. Ye Hua remembered that incident several days ago, that eerie darkness that made his soul tremble. A power that could oppose n

263 – Even if the Mind Forgets, the Soul Remembers (5)‘I died?’Ye Mo tried to remember the last thing that happened to him, but only fragmented pieces of images appeared in his mind. Confusion was the only thing he could feel aside from the head-splitting pain, though he was trying to calm himself and follow the words of the little girl to embrace his memories.‘Since I died, shouldn’t I undergo samsara? Why am I seeing the memories of my former reincarnations?’What happened to him before he appeared and walked around that endless darkness?No, wait, what was he doing before the little girl appeared?He was swinging his sword against—The little girl frowned when she saw the images swimming inside his mind.“Outers.”Gaaaasp!She reached out her small chubby hands and touched the crown of his head, and she channeled her spiritual energy inside his body, focusing it on erasing those images that did not belong to him or to this era.“You are in so much pain because you took a peek at
