The sky over the rivers and lakes is very clear

Chapter 171

The boy waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away! Go away! I'm telling you, you're getting fatter and fatter. I'm about to throw up from carrying you!"

"Hmph!" The spotted pig continued to nudge him forcefully.

The boy lifted the pig's ear with two fingers: "I'm telling you, if you behave, you won't understand?"

"Hmph, hmph!"

"If you understand, then get the hell away from me!" The boy threw the flower pig aside and muttered curses, "Damn it, what did I do to deserve this bad luck! Flower, this godforsaken place is not our kind. Let's rest for a while and get out of this mess as soon as possible."

The spotted pig made unintelligible "mmm" sounds.

The boy stretched and fell backward, but before his back even touched the grass, he suddenly jumped up, his eyes wide open like lanterns, staring at a patch of white on the tall tree above him.

The moon was about to set, and the world was shrouded in a deep darkness. Feng Xuese stood on a horizontal branch of a tree, leisurely gazing at the distant sky with her hands behind her back. Her white clothes were as smooth as water, and her demeanor was elegant and graceful, like a fairy.

"Damn it..." The boy habitually blurted out the three-character curse.

Halfway through his sentence, Feng Xuese's gaze, sharp as lightning, swept over the young man's face. The boy suddenly realized his mistake, forcing a fawning smile and bowing obsequiously, "I meant, great hero…you…your legs are so fast…faster than…faster than a horse, I wasn't insulting you…"

Maple Snow looked down at him from above, as if he were not a person standing in the grass at all.

"What a damn good actor!" the boy cursed inwardly, but his face was all smiles. "Great hero, aren't you tired of staying up in the tree?"

"..."

"Great hero, you've been busy all night. Why don't you step down and let me give you a leg massage?"

Feng Xuese looked at him coldly, remaining silent.

The boy's facial muscles ached from smiling so much. He tilted his head back and said all the nice things he could, but the other person didn't react at all. He felt a little uneasy and forced himself to say, "Great hero, if you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave now!" He tried to take a few steps forward.

No response.

He continued talking to himself, "Great hero, then this humble one shall truly depart!"

Still no response.

"Damn it! Even a zombie should at least say something!" the boy cursed inwardly. But staring at this "living zombie" all the time wasn't going to work! Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he kicked the pig's rear end: "Flower, let's go!"

Thinking to myself: If this zombie doesn't chase us, then we can just leave; if it does chase us—at least we can see what kind of tricks it's up to.

After walking a few feet, he stole a glance at the snow-covered maple leaves. The people were still standing leisurely in the trees, pretending to be innocent. He took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air behind me.

The boy turned around abruptly, only to see a bolt of lightning pierce the darkness, heading straight for the back of his head.

Even in the deep of night, the sword in Fengxuese's hand still shone with a light like snow.

The boy was so frightened that he didn't have time to think and sprinted forward.

The sword followed him like a shadow, gleaming like snow. Wherever its energy reached, the boy's disheveled hair was instantly severed.

The boy leaped and ducked, desperately trying to escape, but no matter how he ran, the sword was always just three inches behind his head. Clearly, killing him would be easy for the other man; it was just a game of cat and mouse—damn it! That bastard pretends to be a gentleman, but his methods are even more despicable than his own!

He was panting heavily, and when he was really pushed to the limit, he simply lay down on the ground, rolled around on the ground, and shouted, "I'm not running away anymore! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

This trick was learned from street thugs. When they used it, they would first smash a brick on their own head until it bled, and then they would provoke and howl. Originally, they would say something like, "If you don't dare to kill me, you're a coward." But the boy didn't dare to use it—these gangsters treated human life worse than dogs, and they were determined not to be cowards.

Feng Xuese stared coldly at him, the tip of her sword touching the ground, the blade pointing outwards.

As the boy rolled around on the ground, he was caught off guard and nearly put his neck on the sword's edge. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and lay on the ground, no longer daring to act up.

What a coward!

Maple-colored lips curled slightly as she calmly asked, "Are you a disciple of the Qixia Baiyue Can Sect?"

"What is Bai Yuecan? I don't know!"

“I never expected that the successor of ‘The Regret of Flowing Light’ would be someone like you…” Feng Xuese looked regretful, but he was very polite and did not want to say anything bad even though he was talking to a scoundrel.

The boy understood the implication in his words and was quite dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to argue back loudly. He just muttered softly, "What's wrong with me? I'm happy, what's it to you!"

He complained incessantly, and Feng Xuese heard it all clearly. This time, however, she didn't draw her sword to scare him; she simply sighed softly.

"Lingering Regret" is a top-tier lightness skill in the martial arts world, which, according to legend, was created by a woman of extraordinary talent and beauty.

This woman, in her youth, roamed the martial arts world and fell deeply in love with a man from a prestigious family. Later, this man traveled overseas in search of the ultimate martial arts, while she returned to Qixia to live in seclusion, never marrying. For decades, she waited patiently, never leaving her home, and to pass the time, she devoted herself to martial arts, eventually mastering unparalleled skills. Later, the man finally returned home. Although he hadn't found the so-called ultimate martial arts, he gained a beautiful wife, concubines, and many children.

Seeing her own gray hair in the mirror, the woman, while lamenting the complexities of human nature, also felt deeply aggrieved of her own worth. In a fit of rage, she slaughtered the entire man's family, young and old. Her cruelty angered several top martial arts masters, who joined forces to hunt her down, but she always managed to escape unscathed. Atop Mount Huangshan, she encountered her pursuers. After a fierce battle, all the masters perished, and the woman vanished without a trace.

This woman is Bai Yuecan.

Her original name is no longer known. The name Bai Yuecan comes from her beautiful eyebrows, which resembled a crescent moon, but who turned cold-hearted and cruel after her love affair ended.

Back then, Bai Yuecan lamented the fleeting nature of time and the irretrievable regrets of life, so she created the phrase "The Regret of Fleeting Time," which allowed her to escape calmly from the siege of many masters countless times.

At Yanhe Tower, while Feng Xuese was arranging for the troops from Jietianshui Island to clean up the mess, she didn't relax her surveillance on the mischievous youth for a moment. He had barely slipped away when Feng Xuese discovered him. She wanted to teach him a lesson, but then she noticed that although the youth's steps were unsteady, his footwork was surprisingly skillful—

Actually, at Peach Blossom Ferry, this rogue, carrying a wooden bucket, easily leaped across the several-meter-wide river to board and alight from the boat, which was already a small display of his lightness skill. However, in the eyes of these martial arts experts, his skill was extremely rudimentary, not much better than that of an ordinary person. Moreover, at that time, everyone was only concerned with covering their noses and running away, and no one had the mind to look at him.

I just scared him with my sword, forcing him to run away with all his might, only to find that the half-baked lightness skill he used was actually Qixia Baiyuecan's "Flowing Light Regret", which was quite unexpected for Fengxuese.

It's a pity that such a graceful and unrestrained martial art was used by that rogue to the point of tumbling and crawling in a sorry state. If Bai Yuecan saw it, he would be furious!
