He was standing there, and the clatters came from all places of his body, seeming that his whole body was reorganizing.
His fingers only consisted of bones as well, without any blood and flesh. He had sounds that made others breathless, “I heard that a superior arrived at the imperial clan of Zither. I did not expect that you’re just a blind person.” He guffawed.
“You….”
Ronghua held him back and stepped forward slowly with her eyes closed, “I’m blind. So what?”
He moved again, and even Ronghua frowned for the rattle of his bones. “Let me test!”
After that, he was like a shadow. Though his body was still there, Ronghua could feel an invisible breath was wandering around them.
Ronghua raised her hand with the branch, which could be diversified in her hands. She formed a blossom casually, and its petals flew around her in the wind. She turned to speak to Rongnuan, “Rongnuan, step back and wait. I’ll finish him.”
Rongnuan knew he could not match for that attacker, so he had to let Ronghua address with this by herself and went backward to leave space for them.
When he left, Rongnuan walked ahead and looked at the figure who was still standing there. Her head turned slightly, and her eyes moved. Then she detected the actual location of the enemy. A ghost shadow thrilled through, and then the standing figure faded.
Ronghua stooped down to elude the hand, which stroke to her heart from her back, and kicked back but missed. Ronghua glimpsed at her back and did not see the disappeared enemy. Her hands grasped tighter unconsciously. The dangerousness of that man went without saying.
She turned around, saw the black shadow flashed past in her vague vision constantly, and commented spontaneously in mind, “Excellent speed. Superfast. Are you taking advantage of my sight?”
She transferred her spiritual power into the peach wood and was not sure if her method would work or not!
“Time and space— freeze!”
When she shouted, a flash of light shone from her and spread. For an instant, everything around was stopped. Ronghua swung the peach wood with satisfaction for the effect.
“Won’t you come out? All the things here are halted, except for you and me!”
That man’s figure gradually emerged as he knew he could not hide anymore, and he was not far from Ronghua. “What they said is true. You are not simple. You’re not different from the others even though you’re blind!”
Ronghua smiled and replied out of courtesy, “Thanks for the compliment, while it’s not time to talk about this. Besides, Am I different from a blind person or not has nothing to do with you!”
“Well, sharp-tongued. It seems that I must destroy you first if we want to destroy the imperial clan of Zither.”
Looking at his excitement, Ronghua responded perfunctorily, “Let’s start. It might be better to end earlier!”
He scorned, “Madcap woman, do you know who I am?”
His hostility towards Ronghua ascended obviously.
Ronghua did not care about that, “There are so many people in this world. Am I supposed to remember all of them?”
She knew that this sort of person could not bear the disdain from others. In their views, everyone should fear them like facing the evil ghost. However, he would be disappointed this time. She would never be afraid to meet powerful people or ghosts. How could she be afraid of these? She was fearless even when facing the King of Death, not to mention a nobody!
“You good, very good. Arrogant woman. Let’s see if you can smile at the end. Remember who kill you today— White Ghost!”
Then, ten white-bone fingers came for her face. Ronghua did not resist and just moved backward with his movements.
After that, she turned softly to his back. The peach wood shivered. The man’s white-bone talon somehow twisted and faced the attack. As the moment the peach wood touched his talon, it fizzed and was corroded.
“Whoops! An unanticipated skill!”
Ronghua threw the branch away and glanced at it with loathing, but she could see nothing.
“How’s that? Will you surrender?”
White Ghost asked complacently.
Ronghua raised her head, “What a pity!”
White Ghost’s face turned cold and unkind, “Pity for what?”
Ronghua opened her eyes slowly and showed her golden pupils, “It’s a pity that I never tell who I am when I kill!”
White Ghost felt it was not going well when he saw Ronghua’s eyes twinkled, and the pupils were golden. Then his feeling came true. He could not move even a little when he looked at the eyes. It seemed that he was frozen!
“You...” had such witchcraft!
Ronghua looked at him and knew his unfinished words, but she did not want to waste time.
“You said that you came to ravage the imperial clan of Zither, so I can’t leave you alive!”
Ronghua approached him step by step, and a dagger mysteriously appeared in her hand, shining with ice blue rays of light. She was going to kill him!
Ronghua hung the dagger next to his neck, “Aren’t you scared?”
However, he just sneered, “Scared? For what? For killing me? Let me tell you. I’ve never been afraid of anyone since I was born and is the same for death. Death is just another way of living to me.”
Ronghua took back her dagger, looking at him, felt troubled, and sighed, “You’re so stubborn. What should I do then?”
He also found that this woman was not easy to deceive, so he decided to retreat!
“Hun, I’ll defeat you the next time!”
Then he slid away swiftly before Ronghua could stop him.
After the effective time for ‘time and space froze’ expired, this motionless place finally recovered. Ronghua let out a sigh of relief after she confirmed that White Ghost had left. Then she just pressed her chest with her hand and kept quiet.
Rongnuan got back his consciousness from the control of ‘time and space froze’. He looked at Ronghua and found that man had gone, so he thought Ronghua had defeated him.
“Ronghua, you win!”
Ronghua had no response. He ran to her happily. Yet before he got close, Ronghua spat out blood, and Rongnuan was shocked.
He shrieked, “Ronghua—”
However, it was like something was triggered that Ronghua kept spatting out blood and could not stop.
“Ronghua, Ronghua, what’s wrong with you? Don’t frighten me!”
Ronghua just waved her hand and shook her head. She spat and spoke with a lisp, “It’s, it’s fine. I’m just a little bit tired.”
He knew it was just comforting words, and Ronghua did not look good at all.
“What the hell happened to you?”
Ronghua supported herself with bad grace and forced a smile. She patted him on the shoulder, “It’s true. I’m just so tired. I’m not spatting. I’m...cultivating!”
Rongnuan cried, “Don’t cheat me. Who cultivate in that way!”
“It’s true. I’m not lying. I said I was different from you, and our cultivation methods are different too.
Nevertheless, Rongnuan was still worried and cried, “You lied! You’re hurt, right? You’re hurt!”
Ronghua looked at him, “Rongnuan, look at me!”
When he looked into the golden pupils, he was fixed at once. Behind Rongnuan, she saw Qingyi ran here in a hurry from the edge of her sight. She was panting for running.
She turned back to look at Rongnuan and said detailedly, “Rongnuan, today, you only witnessed that White Ghost came to kill us. You did not see me spitting blood. You fell in a faint for the sake of seeing my eyes. You’re tired, and you fall. Do you remember that?”
He looked at her faintly, but he still nodded, and then he fell to her arms.
Ronghua supported him to sit down and held him in arms. Qingyi arrived, still panting, and looked at Ronghua’s pale face. She thought she must be mad that she rushed here.
“You... how do you feel?”
Ronghua closed her eyes and faced Qingyi. She answered with a calm voice, “Not bad.”
“Not bad?” Hearing her answer, she was almost furious again. She restrained herself, “Well, I’m officious again. I should not even come, which is also meaningless, right?”
Ronghua felt helpless, “Qingyi!”
“Are you using your own life to protect him?” Qingyi pointed at Rongnuan and questioned her, “Answer my question. Yes or no?”
Ronghua said, “Qingyi, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Did I say anything wrong?” Qingyi controverted, “You must know the usage of ‘time and space froze’. How much did you learn about this space skill? Well, even if you have learned half of it. Don’t you know how much your spiritual power remains?”
“I know!” Ronghua replied, “I know well in my heart. How will I use it without careful consideration?”
“Piss off—” Qingyi swore. Ronghua was shocked to raise her head, as she had never heard Qingyi speaking in that way.
Ronghua’s face was full of unbelief. Qingyi knew why she looked like that, “I know what you want to say, but this is not something to feel strange. I’m not that happy and naive Qingyi anymore. Ronghua, I’ve grown up. A hundred thousand years can change many things. I changed, sister. And you changed, too!”
There was wind blowing past, and Ronghua could sense how it went, but she could not sense Qingyi now. It was the first time that she realized who Qingyi was!
“A hundred thousand years passed; everything has changed if it should have. We cannot return to that time anymore! Sister, we were gods, only at that time!”
Ronghua just lowered her head and hugged Rongnuan tightly. She did not know when Qingyi left, when she fell asleep and when it turned to Rongnuan hugging her.
When she was awake again, it was the time Murong Zhe and Xia Pumo came for her. The imperial clan of Zither would be replaced by other clans for the sake of them!
“Ronghua!”
She suddenly woke up and looked vaguely at the rushing figure of Xia Pumo with her golden eyes.
“What happened?”
Xia Pumo rushed there and saw her. He forgot his purpose when he saw she closed her eyes, “What’s wrong with your eyes, Ronghua?”
She stroked her eyes, “They’re fine. I just need to be blind for some time!”
Xia Pumo was astonished. It was just about two hours since she lost control in the hall. How could this happen in such a short time?
“You lost control in the hall. What the hell happened? Do you feel good now?”
Xia Pumo asked gingerly because their conversation might be the cause of that matter, according to Murong Zhe’s analysis.
Murong Zhe had said, “That woman has never had a loved one. She might be irritated by our love and lost control. She will be fine when she comes through.”
Xia Pumo had disdained that suspicion and knocked at Murong Zhe’s head at that time.
However, he began to believe his words now.
“I’m fine. I just lost control of my power for a short while. That’s all. Are you coming for other business?”
Xia Pumo finally remembered that they came to ask for help. They could not fight with many enemies by themselves. Also, Murong Zhe had not recovered yet, so he could not afford this.
However, Ronghua refused, “Mo, I’m so sorry. It’s inappropriate for me to deal with it.”
Xia Pumo was confused and asked, “Why? Why is it inappropriate?”
Ronghua was embarrassed, and Murong Zhe detected that. He dragged Xia Pumo to his side, “It makes sense, Mo. Ronghua is not at the same level as us. Nature has its own rule. Ronghua would be expelled if she broke the rule forcibly.”
He explained in earnest to Xia Pumo. Thereupon, he saw the golden pupils when Ronghua opened her eyes.
He was shocked as well.
“Wow—”
Xia Pumo was shocked by him.
“What? What makes you startled?”
Xia Pumo turned and saw her golden eyes as well.
Before they could ask, Ronghua stopped them, “Mo, don’t ask about my eyes. I’ll encounter more issues like this in the future, and you won’t be able to care for all of them. I said I could not handle this by myself, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t solve this. After all, I’m responsible for this condition. However, the one who should face it is you, and it only could be you. I can just give counsel behind.”
