Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 199 - "Don't Worry"

It might be impossible for Bai Rouyun to get her hands on one on her own, but as long as she opened her mouth, Li Moyun would give her anything she wished for.

Even if the Eternal Shadow Palace did not have a beast horn of this type, they would be able to trade for one, as they had numerous archaic pills in their hands.

It was naturally impossible for Li Moyun to trade the pill formulas away, but the pills themselves were tradeable, as long as it could benefit them in the long run.

Thinking about this, Bai Rouyun made a decision. After class, she would hurry back and ask Li Moyun to help her find one of these horns.

The class was tedious, and most of the knowledge which was being taught was either very superficial or basic, so those who had some personal insights into the higher realms of cultivation would be wasting their time in this class.

While the youngsters and Bai Rouyun were bored, the others were focused on the teacher. They felt that this information was able to help them progress towards the Cultivation World, and that they would be able to reach much further with these instructions than without them.

Bai Rouyun was looking out the window of the classroom. She observed how the leaves of the trees were swaying in the wind, and the gentle breeze was playing with the grass.

She noticed how students would wander the school grounds in small groups, smiles adorning their faces, and happiness evident in their eyes.

Although these experts would never reach the apex of the world, they were happy enough pursuing their dreams.

She understood that what mattered was not only the result, but also the road that one took.

As long as she was capable of living her life happily, day by day, with no regrets, then she would not feel too disappointed if she failed before reaching her goal. At least, she had given it her all.

However, if she was willing to sacrifice everything for this goal, then, as she reached it, she would feel empty and unhappy. It would not be worth it.

While Bai Rouyun was deep in thought, the bells rang, and the lessons ended for the day.

Regaining her senses, Bai Rouyunn slowly stood up from the seat, left the room, and reunited with Mo Chu.

Together, the two returned to the manor, only to see that Li Moyun was not home.

It was nothing new that he was not home when she returned. She had come back rather early on this day, and he also had his own things that he needed to deal with.

As that was the case, Bai Rouyun entered the kitchen, where she began cooking the most delicious meal that she could muster. She made various delicacies belonging to different regions. Some were spicy and hot; others were refreshing and crisp.

She busied herself in the kitchen. She could no longer cultivate her Qi when she was at home, and her body needed rest as well, so she found that cooking was a very interesting pastime.

She had already been very good at cooking, but she soon found that even these skills could be further refined, and she often challenged herself to do numerous small snacks, not only for Li Moyun, but also Xiao Long.

Mo Chu was also enjoying her new hobby, as he often ended up as the one who had to taste her cooking to determine whether or not it tasted well.

They all enjoyed this peaceful lifestyle, but at the same time, they were all aware that it was likely to be the silence before the storm.

The other factions were all lying in wait, contemplating their next steps, and putting all their hopes on the youngsters who were tasked with approaching Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun.

Currently, no one knew that Bai Rouyun could not use her Qi. If it were made known to the other factions, then she would be in much more danger than she was in currently, so Li Moyun had been searching high and low for a method to enhance her body. However, he was not aware of the usage of the Qilin Horn, nor did he find any method more useful than the Gravity Tower.

The sun was setting in the sky, dyeing the horizon in a crimson light as Li Moyun finally returned to the estate. His mood was not great, and his brows were furrowed.

Seeing him looking like this made Bai Rouyun’s heart ache, and she hurried to put the chopsticks into Mo Chu’s hands, telling him to solve the rest of the food, before she hurried to her husband’s side.

"What’s wrong?" she asked gently as she reached out and took his strong palm into her own hands.

"Nothing, don’t worry." Li Moyun had no intention of telling her of the troubles that he had encountered recently. He knew that even if he shared them with her, she would be unable to help, and would instead blame herself for being useless.

He did not wish to pressure her, and he wanted nothing more than to see her grow happily and free as the wind.

Bai Rouyun could guess his considerations, and while she was feeling frustrated due to her own inability, she also did not show her frustrations, as she did not want him to worry about her, on top of his own problems.

She smiled gently, raised her hand, and smoothed out his furrowed brows before she smiled sweetly.

"Don’t frown so much; you’ll look old in no time."

Her voice was gentle and refreshing like a clear stream of water, and the sparkling eyes so full of life made him feel happy. No matter how troublesome the rest of the world became, he was delighted to be able to return to her side every night.
