The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 202 - The Reason Behind Yueyue's Actions
The rain soaked the bodies of the two girls who were sheltering under shady trees. A thunderstorm dyed the dark black sky. The sound of heavy rain and lightning continues to rumble.
“Yueyue, will Aunt Xianlin be okay?” Shi Surao nibbled intensely at his body for not being used to this heavy journey. While Xue Bingyue did not stop worrying about Bai Xianlin's state.
“Sister Raorao. First we must stay alive and think of our safety or that Aunt Xianlin's efforts will be in vain.” Xue Bingyue glanced at Shi Surao and let out a long sigh.
‘I must grow strong, otherwise I cannot protect anyone.” Xue Bingyue pondered her fate while closing her eyes letting the raindrops hit her body.
After the rain subsided and the weather improved, Xue Bingyue and Shi Surao changed their clothes. Lucky Xue Bingyue brought a number of clothes on the God Ring. Considering that the clothes Xue Rong was wearing were stored in her beloved ring, Xue Bingyue gave it to Shi Surao.
Then the two continued on their way back to Zhenshu City. Xue Bingyue passed through Luodao City without stopping first and directly rushed towards Zhenshu City.
It was not uncommon in the course of Xue Bingyue to meet with robbers and some of the warriors of the Corresponding Tower. The battle was unavoidable and Xue Bingyue had managed to quell everything that was blocking his journey.
Shi Surao himself felt himself to be a burden, but Xue Bingyue did not think so. Xue Bingyue said that Shi Surao had advantages that she did not have.
Arriving at Zhenshu City, Xue Bingyue barged into the border town by air with Shi Surao. The two stayed at the luxurious inn and rested their bodies for a moment.
“Land barren border... Aunt Xianlin, you're okay, right?” Xue Bingyue who was lying on the bed muttered softly.
“Yueyue, I'm done.” Shi Surao who had just taken a bath said to Xue Bingyue who was lying down.
“Kakak Raorao, after leaving Shi Empire, what is your next destination?” Xue Bingyue looked at Shi Surao. He realized that he needed to solidify his determination to keep moving forward.
Xue Bingyue had already decided to forge her abilities and conduct a hunt against the people involved with her parents' deaths.
“I..” Shi Surao gulped. The beautiful girl realized her limits. She was not a swordsman like Xue Bingyue, she grew up in the surroundings of the Imperial Palace and made her a spoiled Princess.
But Shi Surao had an advantage because with her beauty and hospitality, she was favored by the common people. Yet now that Shi Surao's feelings were shrouded in vengeance, he wanted to avenge the death of his entire family, and once again he was resuscitated with his limits.
“Yueyue, my current goal is to survive. I myself am confused as to what to answer, because I want revenge. But I realized my own limits. So I'll survive how hard it is.” Shi Surao's reply made Xue Bingyue smile thinly.
Xue Bingyue got up from the bed and moved towards the bathroom. Shi Surao's feeling was now the same as it seemed so that Xue Bingyue realized how painful it was to know her limits with her enemy.

The next day after breakfast at the inn, Xue Bingyue and Shi Surao waited for Bai Xianlin's arrival for a full day until the sun slowly set.
There was no sign of Bai Xianlin showing herself in Zhenshu City yet. A feeling of anxiety and worry enveloped Xue Bingyue and Shi Surao. Both of them were so worried about Bai Xianlin's unclear condition.
Xue Bingyue started the conversation, “Are we going to leave the Shi Empire or return to the Yinjing Capital?” Xue Bingyue clenched her hands tightly.
Xue Bingyue recalled the events when she lost her mother. He had experienced this situation once, if indeed Bai Xianlin had sacrificed her life for him. Then the only path he chose was to leave the Shi Empire and survive.
By surviving then one day Xue Bingyue would come back to the Shi Empire to avenge Bai Xianlin's death. Xue Bingyue said that to Shi Surao and made the two of them argue intensely.
“I can't fight! But imagining Aunt Xianlin falling into the grasp of their hands scared me! We must save Aunt Xianlin!” Shi Surao looked at Xue Bingyue who was completely unconcerned by her remark, “Yueyue!”
“Do as you please, Brother Raorao. I'm not naive. Aunt Xianlin's sacrifice will be in vain.” Xue Bingyue replied to Shi Surao calmly, although she actually endured the emotional turmoil of her feelings.
Shi Surao clenched his teeth and clenched his hands. Before long the beautiful girl exhaled violently and lowered her head.
“I am indeed weak Yueyue. I can't fight, but can you leave Aunt Xianlin alone?” Shi Surao looked straight at Xue Bingyue.
Xue Bingyue looked at Shi Surao deeply and said, “Sister Raorao, does my face look unconcerned with Aunt Xianlin's state?”
Shi Surao's eyes widened. He was aware of his behavior like a child even though he was older than Xue Bingyue. His two eyeballs stared fixedly at Xue Bingyue's face that looked sad but tried to cover up her sadness.
“Did I laugh when I left Aunt Xianlin? Brother Raorao, this is very painful. I want to save the people I love, but I am still weak.” Hearing Xue Bingyue's remark made both of Shi Surao's eyes glaze over.
“Yueyue..” Shi Surao did not realize how painful Xue Bingyue felt. The little girl hid her feelings and acted tough.
“I'm sorry..” Shi Surao wiped his tears and calmed himself down.
Xue Bingyue turned her face and looked at the surroundings, ‘Yangyang, do you know? The reason I stayed alive and was being tough was because of you. You saved my life and gave me the meaning of life. You may not realize it, but in my eyes you are everything to me.”
Xue Bingyue looked at the sun that was setting completely. Since that day Xue Bingyue had already decided on her life purpose. No matter how heavy the burden was, no matter how strong the enemy that confronted him was, Xue Bingyue would continue to step in for the sake of looking to the future with Jing Yang.
After nightfall, Xue Bingyue and Shi Surao continued their journey through the barren land of the border. By passing through the air path using a flying sword, Xue Bingyue brought Shi Surao as soon as possible to leave the Shi Empire.
“Yueyue, sorry I didn't notice.” Shi Surao started the conversation because after the two of them left the Shi Empire, neither Xue Bingyue nor Shi Surao had started the chat.
Xue Bingyue watched her surroundings while hoping Bai Xianlin chased after her from behind.
“Tell me, Yueyue. You can act this loud because of who?” Shi Surao was curious about Xue Bingyue's mature demeanor and amazed him.
Xue Bingyue told Jing Yang's figure to Shi Surao. Hearing Xue Bingyue's short story made Shi Surao's eyebrows go up and down. That story about Jing Yang made her both moved and amazed.
Shi Surao found out that Xue Bingyue loved Jing Yang very much. The little girl looked free as she told about Jing Yang.
After knowing the reason why Xue Bingyue could grow up like this at such a young age, Shi Surao became curious about Jing Yang's figure and wanted to see him in person.
Xue Bingyue herself couldn't wait to hear Jing Yang's voice, ‘Yangyang, wait for me. I'll accompany you.’
The moment Xue Bingyue closed her eyes, a huge amount of aura came from behind.
“Yueyue, Raorao! Thank goodness!” The melodious-sounding voice of the adult woman made Xue Bingyue and Shi Surao immediately turn their heads back.
“Aunt Xianlin!”
