The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 190 - Barren Land Border
“Yueyue, is there nothing you want to do in Jiang Empire?” Bai Xianlin asked after her second trip to Shendu City.
Xue Bingyue closed her eyes for a moment, “Aunt Xianlin, I want to go to Moon Snow Island and the place where it all started, Yunfei City. But I would rather go to the Shi.” Empire
Xue Bingyue smiled before adding, “I want to ask Yangyang something directly.”
Bai Xianlin smiled at Xue Bingyue's words, then she jumped up and flew away from Shendu City. Xue Bingyue took out the Suxue Snow Sword and used the Flying Sword Science.
While flying Xue Bingyue recalled the times where she carried Jing Yang. His heart was pounding at the thought of that, especially Jing Yang's expression that seemed innocent and his calmness made his heart even more melted.
Seeing Xue Bingyue's cheeks meet red made Bai Xianlin smile sweetly.
“Why are you smiling yourself Yueyue?” Bai Xianlin glanced at Xue Bingyue
“Ah, i..” Xue Bingyue turned her face away as Bai Xianlin found herself thinking about Jing Yang.
“You two are so sweet. By the way Yueyue, your Yangyang is not just promised to Brother Rong.” Bai Xianlin with her ignorant smile was intending to tease Xue Bingyue.
“Aunt Xianlin Means?” Xue Bingyue was curious about the promise Jing Yang made to someone other than Xue Rong.
“He promised me while in the Land of Hidden Fog if he would become an emperor then he would make me one of his concubines.” Bai Xianlin stared in a surprised expression on Xue Bingyue's face but it wasn't long since Xue Bingyue smiled thinly.
“Aunt Xianlin, Yangyang is the heir to the throne of the Jiang Empire. Wouldn't it be natural for a great noble to seem to have more than one wife in the future. Sister Que always said about it to me.” Xue Bingyue's response actually made Bai Xianlin chuckle.
“But compared to being his concubine, Aunt Xianlin is better suited to be his mother. Aunt Xianlin is very similar to my late mother after all, although your nature is different. I'm sure Yangyang is also as thoughtful as me.” Xue Bingyue laughed softly making Bai Xianlin stop flying and tickle Xue Bingyue's body.

Several days had passed since Xue Bingyue left the Suxue Mountains with Bai Xianlin. Now the two were staring at the bonfire they were making at night.
“Aunt Xianlin what do you think of the rumors of the Skull Demon Island?” Xue Bingyue asked as she had heard some bird news on the way about the clash of the Skull Demon Island against the Nine Dragons Palace.
Bai Xianlin herself had already guessed that Demon Skull Island would rule the martial world of the Jiang Empire considering that the sect supported Fu Xinghe and Tang Mu.
“Yueyue, there is nothing to fear from the Nine Fingers of the Devil, the Trost Nation and the people of the Tang Empire. Sooner or later this continent will fall in turmoil. I don't want to say this but Jing Yang is the right person to be the main pillar of straight flow.” Bai Xianlin herself did not want to get involved too far dealing with the Demon Skull Island that Tang Mu and Fu Xinghe supported.
“After we restore Jing Yang's memory, I will help the two of you to battle against the Skull Demon Island.” Bai Xianlin let out a long sigh after saying that, “It's easy to say that, but the situation now is already very chaotic and can't be stopped.”
Xue Bingyue herself realized that her abilities were still far below Jing Yang and her parents' killer Mao Gang.
Without Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin noticing, a great upheaval in the Jiang Empire occurred. The great upheaval that caused the destruction of the Nine Dragons Palace because the Skull Demon Island managed to unite the entire black sect under its rule even some white sect interference made the Skull Demon Island able to destroy the Nine Palace The dragon easily.
After recovering their inner strength, Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin hurried onward towards the Shi Empire. Both continue to move through the mountains and forests even though in the course of some of the robbers blocked but all was not an obstacle.
Xue Bingyue's ability was arguably great but the sweet girl needed a touch in order to master her talent.
Bai Xianlin noticed the resemblance of Xue Bingyue's abilities to Jing Yang's. From the breathing used up to some of his sword dance moves. It was just that Xue Bingyue's movements were more graceful and gentle.
Until it feels like both have reached the border. An uninhabited wasteland bearing silent witness to the border of these two Empires looked so desolate and inhabited only by Demonic Beasts.
“This is the first time I went to Shi.” Empire Xue Bingyue looked enthusiastically stepping her feet through the barren land before her followed by Bai Xianlin from behind.
“Different from the Jiang Empire where sects from all three streams are not visible in governmental affairs, in the Shi Empire sects from all three streams are involved in governmental affairs.” Bai Xianlin explained that the black sect was more domineering than the white flow sect.
The Shi Empire had been going through difficult times when a great war was going on between the three streams. The white flow sect fought against the black and neutral flow sect.
The long war left many white sects united to perish. The victor of the great war was a black-flow sect, while the surviving neutral-flow sect followed in the footsteps of the black-flow sect to submit to Emperor Shi.
“Dad Shi Mubai had a connection with one of the people from the Nine Demons Empire, Tang Mu, just as it did in the Ma Empire, now the Shi Empire was slowly falling into the hands of Tang Mu.” Bai Xianlin had always reminded Xue Bingyue to be careful and not rash because after all there were some sects in the Shi Empire who were directly involved in the killing of Xue Bingyue's parents.
“I understand, Aunt Xianlin. Our goal is to take the Sacred Sky Cloth then leave the Shi.” Empire Xue Bingyue herself did not deny wanting to avenge the deaths of her parents, but she realized how strong she was.
Bai Xianlin watched the surroundings as the two of them continued to step deep into the territory of the Shi Empire. The dry barren land kept Bai Xianlin from lowering her guard.
Xue Bingyue herself tried to sense the air of the human presence around her. However the further he entered the territory of the Shi Empire, he had yet to find a single human.
“Yueyue, we will pass this barren land for a few days. Border city is still far away so don't waste your energy on unnecessary things.” Bai Xianlin reprimanded Xue Bingyue who was releasing her bodily aura.
Xue Bingyue smiled as Bai Xianlin realized it, “Alright, Aunt Xianlin.”
The journey of the two was practically smooth as it passed through the barren land, but after Bai Xianlin told Xue Bingyue that the nearest border town was getting closer and closer, a burst of flames appeared from the front.
Xue Bingyue and Bai Xianlin dodged the attack easily. Both of them did not feel any murderous aura nor any human presence.
“I've suppressed my existence but you two can dodge my attack.” The rough-looking man smiled grinningly looking at the curves of Bai Xianlin's body.
“Looks like I found a diamond to sharpen.” The man's gaze fell on Bai Xianlin and made her drool, “That shape of yours is so beautiful. From the outside it looks very tight and big, I became curious about the actual shape.”
Bai Xianlin snorted in annoyance, “Stop your disgusting gaze! Do you think you can get it?! All my life I have not found a man worthy of my body! At least everyone who looks at me lustfully ends up dead!”
Bai Xianlin released a huge amount of murderous aura before throwing her shawl into the air.
Xue Bingyue opened her palm, “Suxue.”
As the snow sword appeared, Xue Bingyue looked at Bai Xianlin who was observing the man's movements before gesturing for Xue Bingyue to align her swordplay with her shawl attack.
