Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 111 - 102 Secret Realm (Two in One)

Chapter 111: 102 Secret Realm (Two in One)The mountain forest on a snowy night was an endless expanse of pitch darkness, where only the ice-cold touch of snowflakes like willow catkins could be felt incessantly brushing against one’s cheeks.

As he circulated his cultivation technique to fend off the cold, streaks of blood-red light quietly appeared in Xu Yuan’s eyes, making the surrounding mountains hidden in the dark clearly visible.

Hurrying along, the howling cold wind passed by his ears, and within his field of vision was the graceful figure of Ran Qingmo moving through the darkness of the woods as if out for a stroll.

She was intentionally maintaining a speed that he could keep up with.

Compared to Ran Qingmo’s ethereal grace, Xu Yuan’s manner of traveling was very unrefined, like the ninjas he had seen in his previous life who swung their arms while running through the woods.

About an hour later, the trees thinned out, and a frozen river appeared before their eyes, with Ran Qingmo coming to a stop alongside this river valley.

Xu Yuan halted a few meters behind her, instinctively looking back.

Tianyan was still there, trailing about three meters behind them.

A pair of pupils gleaming with golden light was particularly conspicuous in the dark snowy night, although they were somewhat short.

Xu Yuan glanced down with eyes shimmering with blood-red light.

She was still barefoot, the slightly oversized palace dress dragging across the snowy ground, leaving a rippled trail as she walked.

Such a cold snowy night and still barefoot, she didn’t seem to mind the cold.

With high cultivation, one really could do as they pleased.

Ran Qingmo continued to lead the way, and Xu Yuan consequently withdrew his gaze. This silent atmosphere lasted for roughly fifteen minutes until someone among the three finally spoke.

It wasn’t Xu Yuan but Ran Qingmo, who was leading the way at the front, her voice very soft:

"Tianyan, why did you come?"

During her questioning, she stopped leading the way and quietly turned to look at the little loli at the end of the group.

In the midst of darkness, the wind and snow were heavy, yet the voice seemed very calm at that moment.

Xu Yuan also stopped walking as he felt that Ran Qingmo and Tianyan should be acquainted with each other, to the extent that they wouldn’t remain utterly silent.

Tianyan did indeed react to Ran Qingmo’s words, giving Ran Qingmo a calm glance with those conspicuous golden eyes in the night, then redirected her gaze back to watching Xu Yuan.

Great, now there was a loli who spoke even less than Ran Qingmo.

From now on, I’ll call you Little Ice Lump.

Of course, if a fight broke out, Xu Yuan still hoped she would turn into a Dead Ice Lump.

Ran Qingmo’s clear eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Xu Yuan with care, whispering through mental transmission:

"Xu Yuan, why is she here?"

Xu Yuan sighed, shrugging:

"Don’t know, Old Man Luo said it was because I slipped out of her predictions, so she came looking for me. Guess she’s been following us for a while now."

He paused, then reminded:

"Also, no need for mental transmission, Tianyan can hear everything."

Ran Qingmo glanced at Tianyan again.

Tianyan also glanced at Ran Qingmo.

Ran Qingmo was the first to look away; after pondering for a moment, she asked softly:

"Will her following us pose a danger?"

Xu Yuan shrugged:

"Not sure, very likely. I ruined the future she foresaw, and her taking so much trouble to find me probably isn’t just to take a look."

Dressed in broad daylight, the world is vast and

"...."

Tianyan quietly stared at him.

"Heh... seems like he’s not."

Xu Yuan chuckled, then turned to ask Ran Qingmo:

"Back when you saved her, did she also stay this quiet all the time?"

Ran Qingmo recalled for a moment and nodded:

"Yeah, more or less."

Xu Yuan looked puzzled and asked:

"Ran Qingmo, didn’t you find it strange to encounter such a silent little girl in a dangerous place like Jiuyuan Gorge and still decide to bring her with you?"

Ran Qingmo quieted for a moment, tilted her head, and asked:

"Hmm... strange in what way?"

"....."

Xu Yuan fell silent, looking at Ran Qingmo and then at Tianyan.

Different appearances, the same expression, belonged to the same world, different you.
