Chapter 389: Blackened Junior Sister (94)
Yue Ran had an unwavering look in her eyes— her eyes reflecting the same clarity and determination he had first noticed when they met— which made Qing Yun felt a little more relieved. It was as if no circumstance could cloud the unchanging light within her gaze, a steadfastness that both intrigued and impressed him.
In the end, she was their child, so how could she not be good?
…
"Master, what should we do next?" Long Yuan inquired.
"Let us go back to the Dark Sky Pavilion first," Yue Ran said.
Yue Ran gazed at the green bamboo forest in front of her. The parents of the original body had previously resided here. It may also be the reason why she would choose to come to the Lingering Lotus Mountain instead of staying at the base of the Dark Sky Pavilion. It was probably her (or rather the original body's) destiny.
Although this trip gave her the answer to the puzzle of her background, it did not bring her any other benefits.
Long Yuan followed behind Yue Ran and looked at her back. He appeared as though he wanted to say something but did not dare to do so.
"Do you want to ask me why I did not ask for his help?" Yue Ran asked knowingly.
Yue Ran laughed as she turned to face Long Yuan behind her. His thoughts were clearly spoken out, and Long Yuan could not help but lower his head and dare not look at her.
"The demon beasts have nothing to do with me, and there is no benefit for them to help me, either," Yue Ran said. "If I wanted to take advantage of my biological father, whom I had never seen, I would not have chosen to be the evil witch at the beginning."
The words Yue Ran said were not downright blunt, but Long Yuan understood what she meant. He knew how arrogant she was. He should have known how proud Yue Ran was from the words she said at the beginning, that she wanted "the sky to collapse" for her, "the earth to crumble" for her, "the sun and the moon to bend their rays of light" for her, and for "everyone in the world to fear" her.
Yue Ran spoke that sentence word for word, sounding neither quick nor slow, sonorous, and powerful. It did not seem like she was speaking empty words.
Then again, the young woman could not be called arrogant, because she was sure of everything she wanted to do. If she did it, she would succeed. It seemed that everything she did, including the process to her goal, was simply a play for her.
After all, she intended to live wantonly, as she pleased.
If she borrowed the light of others, like her dead father, it might reduce her fun, which would do no good.
The two departed the place after bidding Qing Yun farewell. Perhaps with Qing Yun's assistance, the way back was particularly easy to walk. After a day's journey, they met the giant rabbit and the white tiger.
However, they did not expect that giant rabbit to bring about fifty to sixty rabbits to nest in the forest and wait for Yue Ran.
According to it, once the young and old little rabbits in the family knew that making a contract with Yue Ran would increase their cultivation, they all wanted to go with her. In the end, they let Yue Ran see if she could select a couple of them to take away.
"If the master does not like them, I will yell for everyone to disperse," the giant rabbit remarked.
The giant rabbit blinked cautiously, fearing that its abrupt behavior would make its master unhappy.
"It is all right," Yue Ran said. "I also want to know how many demon beasts I can make a contract with, and then we can all go together."
Yue Ran did not mind these rabbits coming along with her. Anyway, it took a lot of time to cultivate her vast spiritual power in the Sea of Qi, and contracting more demon beasts would also feed back the spiritual power from them to her.
As a result, this dazzling white light suddenly appeared, and it took a quarter of an hour to vanish. All the rabbits at the scene had made a contract with Yue Ran!
"Hmm…" Yue Ran hummed thoughtfully at the success.
The giant rabbit: "This…"
The Sword of the Demon Long Yuan and the white tiger: …
Lan Jin blinked and let out an adorable yawn. He is bored.
All the white rabbits looked at Yue Ran with vigor, their ruby-red eyes shining with glee. Yue Ran was not at all exhausted by the contracts, but the chattering voices that suddenly exploded in her sea of consciousness nearly annoyed her to death!
Yue Ran sighed helplessly, waved her hand to let them be quiet, then turned to Long Yuan and asked, "How can all these rabbits be taken away? Is it possible to put them in the spatial ring?"
"Master, we can change into another form to follow you," the giant rabbit answered Yue Ran instead of Long Yuan when it heard the question.
"Oh? Another form? What does it look like?" Yue Ran raised a brow with interest.
There was no sound from the nest of rabbits. Their beady red eyes rolled around, and they crowded together and began to chat with their huge family, their fluffy white furs trembling with the slight breeze. Shortly, as if they had reached a decision, they all turned into white light and transformed into a beautiful necklace that hung around the slender neck of Yue Ran.
The necklace is made of red gemstones that resemble the eyes of rabbits. Each one is crystal clear, with a total of fifty-four beads, each representing a rabbit demon beast that she has contracted with.
If one were to think about it carefully, her power is indeed quite terrifying.
