Bai Huxin had no idea that the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord still had tricks up his sleeve.
But she didn’t need to know that.
Because Bai Huxin believed her feelings for the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord were sincere, and this sincerity didn’t mean love.
Love is wanting to possess, be selfish, seek sweetness, and resonate with another.
But Bai Huxin wasn’t really interested in any of that; she just expressed love, treating the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord as her support.
Now, that support was crumbling.
Naturally, Bai Huxin felt sad, but she turned that sadness into the sorrow of love.
If someone was about to die, how could she not ensure they left everything in perfect order? What would that make her?
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord might be a terrible person, but at least he wasn’t terrible to Bai Huxin, right?
He had to be better than how he would treat a stranger, right?
For this reason, Bai Huxin would let him go completely.
However, Bai Huxin was quite clear-headed.
She understood that the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord, at the end of the road, might take her down with him.
After all, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was truly a bad guy.
Hiding away would only provoke his anger; even being indifferent would annoy him.
So she might as well take the initiative and express her affection more fervently. Doing so was undoubtedly dangerous to the extreme.
But what could Bai Huxin do?
She was the weak one, the one dependent on a man.
Besides, she dared to bet that the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord would need care in the end; as long as he got what he wanted, he wouldn’t kill her.
She won the bet!
Bai Huxin didn’t know if the Darkness Origin would be willing to protect her; she could only look after herself.
She quietly sobbed, crying for her crumbling support, crying for her turbulent fate.
But her mind was crystal clear.
With that support collapsing, she had to find a new one for herself. Luckily, she had already connected with the Darkness Origin.
Next, it was time to wholeheartedly serve the Darkness Origin.
She set herself a small goal: to become the personal maid of the Darkness Origin!
Plus, Bai Huxin could feel that the current Darkness Origin was very different from before—no, it was a significant difference.
The current Darkness Origin casually exuded confidence!
Victory was assured!
And as time went on, this overwhelming confidence became more pronounced.
Bai Huxin was familiar with this stance; it meant the Darkness Origin had found a support too.
This support was gradually growing stronger, and it was a man.
Speaking of which, that meant… Lu Ye!
The Darkness Origin had now sided with Lu Ye.
The Darkness Origin was back.
Bai Huxin hurried over; the Darkness Origin glanced at her. “Why are you crying so much?”
“The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord has fallen,” Bai Huxin said sorrowfully.
“Dying at the hands of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens is actually a fitting end for him.”
Seeing the indifference of the Darkness Origin, Bai Huxin immediately understood that the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was completely gone; otherwise, a dying Fallen Dao Celestial Lord couldn’t hide from the Darkness Origin’s eyes.
Her heart’s guard finally lifted.
“Sister, how’s the situation outside? Do you need me to analyze it for you?” Bai Huxin asked.
The Darkness Origin thought for a moment and recounted everything happening outside.
Bai Huxin directly said, “Sister, your current attitude is completely off; you have to show that you’re angry. Otherwise, when the Demon Ancestor or the Darkness Celestial Lord comes back and sees how you are, they’ll definitely have suspicions.”
The Darkness Origin nearly burst out laughing—still angry?
This whole act was making the Darkness Origin feel extremely relaxed.
Protecting four Celestial Lords and protecting two Celestial Lords; the pressure involved is not the same, right?
The key point was the current situation.
Before siding with Lu Ye, the situation was getting darker by the day. If something like this had happened, the Darkness Origin would have completely lost her mind.
But now, the future was looking brighter!
Winning!
Always winning!
“Okay, I got it. You hide quickly.”
“Also, sister, here’s a keepsake from the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord; you keep it.”
The Darkness Origin paused.
“So the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was my support, and now my sister is my support too; please don’t refuse.”
The Darkness Origin waved her hand.
“You keep the stuff; if you get the Four Spirits’ treasure, then give it to me.”
Sure enough, it was Lu Ye.
“Teach me well; when I join his big family, you will definitely have a place!” the Darkness Origin assured.
A difficult smile appeared on Bai Huxin’s face; it seemed the storage treasure was no problem.
“Okay, sister.”
The two had just finished speaking.
Two powerful auras burst into the Darkness Origin.
“Quick, hide!”
The Demon Ancestor shouted.
He and the Darkness Celestial Lord hadn’t died.
After all, they were top-tier Celestial Lords. The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens could definitely have taken them down, but that would mean he couldn’t inflict greater harm on the Dark Origin God.
Compared to two Celestial Lords who violated the laws and entered the Seventh Heaven, it was evident that eliminating the intruding Saint was more important.
“Why is this happening? Why did the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens attack me? I’m a part of this realm; what right does he have to attack me!”
The Darkness Origin shrieked, clearly furious.
“Just hide for now!”
“Fine, damn it, I’m so mad, so mad!”
The Darkness Origin struck a pose and hid; she was extremely hard to find when she hid.
Turning, the Darkness Origin contacted Lu Ye.
“Nine Lives, are you there?”
Lu Ye had just entered seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough to Quasi-Emperor. The fall of the Dark Beginning God meant he no longer worried about the Dark Beginning Insect Seal exploding.
If the Four Celestial Lords couldn’t take down the Dark Beginning God, he would instantly break through to Quasi-Emperor and then immediately enter the River of Time.
But now, clearly, a stable breakthrough was much stronger than a hasty one.
“Here, go ahead.”
“The Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor have returned to my body; both obviously have suffered serious injuries. Should we strike now to kill them both?” the Darkness Origin asked.
Lu Ye pondered.
“No, hold off for now; you continue to hide.”
Continuing to strike would definitely cause them deeper injuries, but it didn’t necessarily mean they would be killed.
Killing the Dark Beginning God, a being from outside the realm, could draw on the power of heaven and earth, but eliminating the Demon Ancestor and Darkness Celestial Lord couldn’t because, good or evil, they were still part of heaven and earth.
If these two managed to escape, Lu Ye would immediately enter their line of sight.
Allowing two top-tier Celestial Lords to have murderous intent lurking in the shadows after himself was way too unstable.
Once he attained the status of Emperor, he could ignite the second wave of encirclement against these two.
