After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 334 The White Feather Pact

"Xiao Yi, is Shen Xu really alright?" Looking at the sleeping Shen Xu on the flying shuttle, Bai Lu couldn't help but ask again with some concern.

“If anything happens to him, I will be more worried about him than you are,” Li Xiaoyi said calmly.

Upon hearing Li Xiaoyi's words, Bai Lu immediately had a bad feeling—a feeling that Li Xiaoyi was already with Shen Xu, and that she was the third party who had interfered.

A lot can happen in six months, but the key is whether something really happened between them, and if something did happen, what should she do?

She didn't understand how she felt about Shen Xu, but when she learned that Shen Xu didn't have any teleportation array patterns, she was extremely worried.

Whenever she returned to Qinglingxi and saw the lush ancient forest and the chairs made of vines he left behind, memories of her time with him would flood her mind.

In the six months that followed, her worries and longing for Shen Xu did not diminish with the passage of time; on the contrary, they grew stronger with time.

She could only force herself to believe that Shen Xu would definitely return from the secret realm, and she constantly hoped that one day Shen Xu would suddenly appear in front of her and smile at her, saying, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Thinking of this, Bai Lu looked at Li Xiaoyi seriously and said, "You don't worry about him as much as I do!"

Seeing Bai Lu's gaze, Li Xiaoyi fell silent. She seemed to have underestimated how much Bai Lu cared about Shen Xu. However, she had already won too much in this trip to the Blood Central Realm, to a degree that even her sister would probably envy. Bai Lu posed no threat to her.

Just then, Bai Lu suddenly felt something tugging at her skirt. Looking down, she discovered it was Qi Ling Bai He.

"Little White!" Bai Lu was overjoyed. This was the first time Qi Ling Bai He had taken the initiative to approach her, and she felt that Qi Ling Bai He's eyes seemed to be more lively. He felt like a normal person who was only a little younger than her.

"What a stupid name! Hurry up and take out the Red Jade Fruit!" Qiling White Crane called out impatiently. If it weren't for a bite to eat, it wouldn't have bothered with this stupid woman.

Bai Lu clearly understood what Qi Ling Bai He meant, so she quickly took out the jade box containing the red jade fruit, opened it, and placed it next to Qi Ling Bai He.

This time, the white crane did not choose to let Li Xiaoyi feed it, but instead took the jade box aside and ate it silently.

Seeing this, a sunny smile bloomed on Bai Lu's somewhat gloomy face.

"Miss Xiao Yi, may I ask why you pushed us away back in Shuanghe Village?" Guan Bi couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing Guan Bi's question, Bai Lu also looked at Li Xiaoyi.

“I heard Shen Xu tell us not to move forward, and I also saw the spatial turbulence ahead. Even if I don’t push you away, you will most likely be teleported back.”

"Spatial turbulence! You and Shen Xu reached that secret realm by passing through spatial turbulence?" Bai Lu asked in disbelief.

"Actually, I don't understand either. I only remember that I held Shen Xu's hand at the time, but when I woke up there, I was separated from Shen Xu. Moreover, the Qiling White Crane was still by my side. I guess the Qiling White Crane saved me."

"Of course, it seems you're not stupid after all, Xiao Yi." Qi Ling Bai He couldn't help but chirp twice upon hearing Li Xiao Yi's words.

"Why do I feel like Little White can understand what we're saying? What has it been through?" Bai Lu asked, looking at the Qiling White Crane with some confusion.

"There's no doubt that it can understand us. As for what it has been through, only Shen Xu probably knows."

"It seems the secret realm you went to is an extraordinary place," Bai Lu exclaimed.

"Miss Xiao Yi, do you know when Shen Xu will wake up? City Lord Baiyu said that her daughter's condition seems to have worsened and can no longer be delayed."

Shen Xu had promised her he would save her daughter. Guan Bi suddenly remembered this.

“I don’t know when he will wake up. I guess we’ll have to give up on Lord Baiyu.” Li Xiaoyi frowned slightly.

Upon hearing the crowd's words, the Praying White Crane flew to them and pointed to itself with its wing.

"You mean you can save the city lord's daughter?" Bai Lu couldn't help but ask.

Qi Lingbaihe shook her head, then sighed inwardly, "It's really troublesome that Shen Xu isn't here. How can I express my desire to stall for time?"

After thinking for a moment, it simply nodded and admitted that it could save the daughter of the White Feather City Lord. Not to mention that it had long regarded that girl as its own kind, it also could not give up the inheritance of a Heavenly Demon Saint.

"The Praying White Crane probably means it can buy some time for Lord Baiyu's daughter," Guan Bi said after seeing the Praying White Crane nod.

"Guanbi, you're so clever!" Qiling White Crane called out softly to Guanbi and placed a red jade fruit in her hand as a reward.

The white crane remembered that Guan Bi had secretly fed it, but it didn't quite understand why Guan Bi had done that.

“When we go to Baiyu City, how about we take the Qiling White Crane to visit the city lord? Xiao Yi, what do you think?” Bai Lu suggested.

“I have no objection.” Li Xiaoyi looked at the Qiling White Crane. She knew that the Qiling White Crane wouldn’t care about something for no reason, unless it was of great benefit to it and Shen Xu.

"Sister Yunyao, I think it's time you explained the matter of the Soul Devourers to me?"

"The Soul Devourers are the most terrifying group of madmen in the entire void, even more terrifying than the Demon Race. I advise you to stay away from Shen Xu in the future."

"I think this kid will definitely grow to the point where he can actively devour spirits," Yun Yao said nervously.

"Sister Yunyao, can you get to the point?"

"Alright, I knew I couldn't scare you, but you really need to be careful of this kid from now on."

"The soul of a Soul Devourer contains an ever-filling void that endlessly absorbs their own soul energy, and that void gradually grows larger over time."

Until one day, the Soul Eaters could no longer provide enough soul energy to the Void, and their lives came to an end.

Therefore, most spirit devourers will actively devour anything with soul energy in order to survive, and acquired spirits like us, born from various treasures, are among their most favored foods.

However, most Soul Devourers cannot find enough acquired spiritual bodies to sustain their lives, so the souls of the Void Races are the best alternative.

Because of the compatibility of soul energy, once the Soul Devourers grow up, they are undoubtedly a great threat to their own races. The tragedies they have committed in various races in order to survive are countless.

Therefore, all races in the void share the same attitude towards the Soul Devourers: 'Kill!'

However, most new Soul Devourers do not live long enough to acquire the ability to devour souls; they are killed by the emptiness within their souls.

Especially after the appearance of the powerful figure behind Shen Xu's boxes, very few Soul Devourers were able to survive in his hands.

Therefore, Soul Devourers are truly a rare sight in the void these days.

Shen Xu was lucky; as long as he didn't do anything reckless, the Blood Spirit's spiritual energy would probably allow him to hold out for quite some time.

I guess that person has already noticed Shen Xu, which is one of the reasons why the True Source Spirit's clone hasn't attacked Shen Xu. After all, the World Spirit is the most nourishing thing for a Soul Devourer.

However, it's also possible that he felt Shen Xu's strength was too weak, not worth his attention.

"Miss Xiao Yi, where should we go first after we get back?"

Just as Li Xiaoyi was pondering Yun Yao's words, Guan Bi asked.

"Let's go back to Qingling Creek first!" Li Xiaoyi replied calmly.
