The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 204 - Jing Yang's Destination

A few days had passed, Xue Bingyue looked at Jing Yang who was still asleep on the bed. Although the Sacred Sky Cloth had coiled around his neck, Jing Yang had yet to awaken and according to the Great Elder of the Blue Moon Palace, Jing Yang already had no spirit to live.

“All depends on him. You're the closest to her, Yueyue. Do you know the reason like this?” The Great Elder of the Blue Moon Palace asked as he glanced at Xue Bingyue who was sitting by the bed.

Hearing a question from the Blue Moon Palace Elder, Xue Bingyue fell silent as she felt completely clueless as to what Jing Yang was feeling and thinking.

The Great Elder of the Blue Moon Palace caressed Xue Bingyue's head affectionately and smiled gently, “Yueyue, what do you want to do now? Are you going to settle in the Blue Moon Palace or go?”

“I..” Xue Bingyue swallowed her saliva as she looked at Jing Yang's face. After his heart felt confident, then Xue Bingyue continued, “I will follow Yangyang. I'll wait for him to wake up, no matter how long it is.”

“Use this room as your private room so you can take care of it.” The Great Elder of the Blue Moon Palace smiled kindly before exiting the room that Jing Yang used and meeting Bai Xianlin.

Xue Bingyue was still sitting at the bedside watching Jing Yang. Before long Xue Rong came and sat down beside Xue Bingyue.

There was no conversation from the two and no one started the conversation. Xue Bingyue and Xue Rong fell silent for a long time before the two talked about Jing Yang.

Xue Bingyue heard Jing Yang's travel story from Xue Rong whom she thought Jing Yang admired her.

To Xue Bingyue it was precisely her who admired Jing Yang's figure and flattered his name.

“Are you leaving this place, Yueyue?” Xue Rong guessed Xue Bingyue was going to leave the Suxue Mountains and follow Jing Yang around.

Xue Bingyue nodded her head, “I will accompany her, if she leaves the Suxue Mountains and wanders then I will follow her.”

“I will support whatever path you choose, Yueyue. Don't forget this place is your home. I will always look forward to your arrival with Junior Yang.” Xue Rong smiled sweetly as well as Xue Bingyue.

“Manicure..” The two were unaware of Bai Xianlin who had just come and looked at the two of them.

Xue Rong and Xue Bingyue immediately greeted Bai Xianlin. The three talked briefly before Jing Yang woke up abruptly.

Jing Yang instantly woke up in a sitting position along with the sound of fractured bones echoing. This incident made Xue Bingyue, Xue Rong and Bai Xianlin gasp in shock.

‘King of Hell, thank you for giving me a warning. I will remain who I am and I will not be what you tell me in the future.’ Jing Yang held his head and smiled faintly.

Jing Yang now wanted to bear the death of Xue Qinghua and Jing An on his shoulders. There was no point in blaming himself and Jing Yang realized that. But when the look in his eyes saw a little girl who was the same age as him, both balls glazed over.

“Yueyue?” Jing Yang wanted to greet Xue Bingyue and wished that the little girl had slipped from her shackled memories.

Xue Bingyue's reflexes hugged Jing Yang's body tightly. He scattered his body into the arms of young people who were his age.

“Yangyang, forgive me..” Xue Bingyue shed her tears and drowned her face in the presence of Jing Yang, “I..”.

Jing Yang smiled and stroked Xue Bingyue's head attentively, “I understand. Everything will be fine.”

Behind her smile, Jing Yang hid her guilty feelings, ‘Yueyue, it was precisely me who should have apologized to you. But with this bloodied hand, I don't deserve your forgiveness.’

Xue Rong and Bai Xianlin smiled at the two who were letting go of each other's longing. Both Xue Rong and Bai Xianlin's eyes glazed over, both of them could see how Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue felt fused together.

Now Jing Yang was at the top of the Suxue Mountains and gazed down.

“How is the view from up here, Junior Yang?” Xue Rong asked as Jing Yang looked at the ice mountain that stretched wide around him.

“Precautions..” Jing Yang muttered softly as he looked down, “Quiet, that's how I felt when I saw the view of the iceberg from up here.”

Xue Rong smiled hearing Jing Yang's response. Jing Yang seemed to be enjoying the view from the top of the Suxue Mountains.

“Sleeve *****, I thank you for helping Yueyue.” Jing Yang glanced at Bai Xianlin before bowing.

Bai Xianlin frowned, “Sheets *****? Don't you remember my name? I'm Bai Xianlin, remember that!” Bai Xianlin pinned Jing Yang's head making Xue Bingyue and Xue Rong gap in disbelief.

Jing Yang got up and looked at Bai Xianlin who was smiling meaningfully towards him.

“Tell me Aunt Xianlin about this white cloth, about the outside world.” Jing Yang held the Sacred Sky Cloth that coiled around his neck. Then he sat on the snowy ground while coating his body with aura so that he did not get wet.

Bai Xianlin told me that outside the Central Plains Continent there were several large continents, where there were great fighters and warriors who had great strength.

“The Jia Empire has turned into the Nine Demons Empire. The people we met at the Tower of Gods were the higher-ups who held important posts in the Empire.” Bai Xianlin added that the figure of the person who became the Emperor of the Nine Demons Empire was a person who came from the Tang Empire.

“Holy Continent is a terrible place. If not for the Seven Great Demon Lords holding each region of this world, perhaps the Tang Empire had mastered the Holy Continent even the world.” Bai Xianlin's words caught Jing Yang's attention.

“Seven Great Demon Kings?” Jing Yang frowned hearing Bai Xianlin's story.

“I myself do not know too much about the Seven Great Demon Lords, but before leaving the Eastern Star Continent, I got some information that the Seven Great Demon Lords were the most feared enemies of the Tang Empire.”

Bai Xianlin smiled wryly as she told about how frightening the outside world was. The massacre that the Trost Nation committed brought the Jia Empire down, but the attack turned into a great war.

“Emperor Jia, not the Emperor of the Nine Demons slaughtered the innocent population and won a great war against the vile invaders of the Trost Nation who were one of the Seven Great Demon Lords.”

Bai Xianlin was silent for quite a while before she told her story about the fall of the Jia Empire.

“After thinking back to the great war it was the plan of the two Great Demon Lords working together.” Bai Xianlin ended the story because she herself had only realized two people who were two of the Seven Great Demon Lords were working together to bring down the Jia Empire.

“Oh, about that Sacred Sky Cloth... How to explain it..." Bai Xianlin pointed at the worn-out white cloth and looked at the face of Jing Yang who was staring at her, “Saying it was the Bai Clan's heirloom treasure. It was said that the Sacred Sky Cloth was used to suppress the aura of a killer or a person who possessed abilities like you, the Body of the King of Hell. And I don't know for sure. Do you feel the difference after wearing that cloth?”

“Differences..” Jing Yang held onto the Sacred Sky Cloth and was silent for a long time before smiling, “This fabric makes me feel calm. For some reason when wearing this cloth, I can sleep peacefully without having to fear the dream.”.

‘Dreams?’ The reactions of Bai Xianlin, Xue Bingyue and Xue Rong were the same. The three of them were curious about Jing Yang's words just now but among the three of them no one discussed it.

Jing Yang got up and said again, “Aunt Xianlin, you told us everything. Does this not matter to you?”

Bai Xianlin smiled hearing Jing Yang's words. According to him, it did not matter because he himself felt that the four people who were at the top of the Suxue Mountains were bound by an unexpected destiny.

“Maybe because I was a little bit hoping the four of us could do something on this continent. Owner of the Yin Body, owner of the Yang Body, the King Body of Hell and I the Body of the Holy Virgin. It's unexpected, but I feel like the four of us have an unexpected destiny.” Bai Xianlin smiled saying what was in her mind.

Jing Yang himself had just learned that Xue Rong was the owner of the Yang Body and Bai Xianlin the owner of the Sacred Virgin Body. Jing Yang looked at Bai Xianlin and Xue Rong who were chatting together after Bai Xianlin revealed the condition of her body.

“Yangyang, so what are you going to do now?” Xue Bingyue asked because Jing Yang's answer and purpose were also her answers and desires.

Jing Yang explained to Xue Bingyue that he was going back to the Jiang Empire and told Sheng Long about his plan to attack the Demon Skull Island. After hearing Bai Xianlin's story, Jing Yang thought he would accept the position he was given as Emperor Jiang, even more so his grandfather had already made him heir to the throne.

If Jing Yang becomes Emperor Jiang, then, then he will intend to cooperate with the Nine Dragons Palace and other white sect to strengthen the military forces and warriors before making an attack on the Demon Skull Island.

“All this depends on Grandpa Sheng's answer. I myself do not want to become an emperor, but I must not forever think like a boy who only thinks of vengeance. After all, I have formed an association called the Five Color House and I want to make the Central Plains Continent a place that suits my mind. I will start it from the Jiang Empire.”

Jing Yang had no idea what had happened to the Nine Dragons Palace as well as the recent turmoil that had befallen the Jiang Empire.

Xue Bingyue widened her eyes hearing Jing Yang's wish, “Yangyang, I didn't mean to hide this from you. On the way to the Shi Empire, I heard some unpleasant bird news.”.

Xue Bingyue told me about the Nine Dragons Palace that had been destroyed by the Demon Skull Island and now the Nine Dragons Palace was completely gone.

Hearing that Jing Yang shook violently his body, “The Nine Dragons Palace perished?” It was impossible, Jing Yang knew that the Nine Dragons Palace was the strongest sect in the Jiang Empire.

But when Bai Xianlin responded to Xue Bingyue's words, everything was clear. Jing Yang thought Tang Mu's intervention on the Demon Skull Island was making the Nine Dragons Palace perish. Yet he never expected himself to be non-existent when the Nine Dragons Palace came under attack.

Jing Yang laughed softly making Xue Bingyue, Bai Xianlin and Xue Rong speechless. The three of them looked at Jing Yang like a despising brat and maintained his vigilance.

“Yueyue, do you think I can avenge the death of our parents?” Jing Yang showed a faint smile and threw a question.

Xue Bingyue noticed Jing Yang's expression, “Yangyang, you can definitely do it. No, we'll both do it.”

Jing Yang lowered his head hearing Xue Bingyue's reply. He actually did not want to see Xue Bingyue kill someone or get involved in the martial world that he thought was too cruel, cruel and heartbreaking.

“Making the right decision is difficult. When you succeed in saving someone, at the same time you have to lose someone.” Looking up at the sky Jing Yang added, “The path to achieving my dream is still far away... A moment like this as if his words were really real and happened.”

Jing Yang smiled as he did not expect the Hell King's words to be true as they were.
