Chapter 265: Yue Yueying’s Rescue

Bai He stepped forward until he stood in front of the spirit soul.

Then he took out a bottle and, with remarkable ease, collected the spirit into it.

Only then did the black-robed man finally react.

He raised his head.

The skin on his face was black as well, covered in strange and grotesque patterns.

The sight of it was enough to make anyone feel disgusted.

"Princess Guantao, what is the meaning of this?"

He asked calmly, but there was already a trace of urgency in his eyes.

"I am taking her away."

The ghost race member instantly flashed forward and blocked Bai He’s path.

"Princess Guantao, we had an agreement. Are you planning to violate our arrangement now?"

Bai He let out a cold snort.

His eyes were filled with contempt.

Who exactly had given these people the right to treat another person in such a manner?

"You dare speak to me about agreements? Return to your ghost race and fend for yourselves. Otherwise, I will make you suffer pain a hundred times worse than this."

The black robed man vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

"You’re not Princess Guantao?"

The moment that thought appeared, he immediately struck out with a palm toward Bai He.

After a year and a half of cultivation in the Frostfall Dominion, Bai He was no longer comparable to his former self.

Moreover, this person was merely an ordinary member of the ghost race.

How could he possibly be Bai He’s opponent?

With a casual wave of his hand and a single palm strike, Bai He directly sent the man flying across the room and crashing onto the ground.

"You..."

The purpose of Bai He’s strike was not to kill him.

It was simply to make the man understand one thing.

He was not Bai He’s match.

If he insisted on fighting, he had better consider the consequences carefully.

The black robed man slowly climbed back to his feet.

Although the young man before him was unfamiliar, there was a frightening aura about him that made it impossible to approach casually.

"Who exactly are you?"

Bai He smiled faintly.

"I come from the Lingguang Sect."

Those three words alone were enough.

Nothing else mattered.

What his name was did not matter either.

"Lingguang Sect?"

Sure enough, after hearing those three words, the expression of the black robed man immediately turned ugly.

A moment ago, he had still been angry and indignant.

Now, all of that had completely disappeared.

What remained was fear.

He could not understand why someone from the Lingguang Sect would appear here.

"You say you are from the Lingguang Sect? That’s impossible. You must be an impostor."

"Whether I am or not, you can figure that out yourself. I am taking her with me."

Bai He turned around and left directly.

In any case, this man was incapable of stopping him.

"Host, why didn’t you just kill him? Why waste so much time?"

Bai He had considered making a move as well.

However, he felt that the situation was not that simple.

"Perhaps there is still a mastermind behind all of this."

Perhaps, on the surface, Princess Guantao appeared to be the mastermind.

But Bai He suspected otherwise.

Why would Princess Guantao become involved with someone from the ghost race in the first place?

That alone was an extremely strange matter.

If he failed to investigate it thoroughly, there might be endless trouble in the future.

Since the matter already involved the ghost race, Bai He’s involvement would not be considered a violation of the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, even if he reported everything to his senior brother, the sect would ultimately send people to deal with it anyway.

It would be better to handle it himself.

One less complication was always preferable to one more.

Bai He returned to the inn and closed the window before finally taking out the bottle.

After opening it, the woman emerged from inside.

Her spirit body appeared extremely weak.

Bai He had no choice but to temporarily transfer some spiritual energy to her in order to stabilize her soul.

Otherwise, even speaking a few words would be difficult for her.

After a full half hour had passed, the frail spirit gradually became much more solid.

The woman’s condition also improved somewhat.

The color returned to her expression and she seemed noticeably more energetic.

"Thank you, Young Master, for saving my life."

Although she did not know exactly what had happened, the young man before her looked very kind and friendly.

Bai He blinked his eyes as he looked at her.

"Mm, could you tell me your name? What is your name?"

When Ye Shiyuan’s mother passed away, she had not yet reached the age of thirty.

Her current appearance still looked like that of a woman in her twenties.

Naturally, Bai He could not identify her just by appearance alone.

However, if he knew her name, then he could confirm it.

"Young Master, my name is Yue Yueying."

"Do you have a son named Ye Shiyuan?"

"Yes. I just do not know where he is now."

Yue Yueying did not even remember how much time had passed.

Nor did she remember what Ye Shiyuan looked like anymore.

The only thing she remembered was that her son was called by that name.

Bai He suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Sure enough, he had found the right person.

So Ye Shiyuan’s mother looked like this.

"Host, does this count as meeting your future mother-in-law in advance?"

It would have been better if Mo Zhu had not said anything.

The moment it did, Bai He immediately felt uncomfortable all over again.

This...

"Ahem. For now, stay inside this bottle and rest. Once we return to the Lingguang Sect, I will ask my senior brother to perform the rites to help you pass on peacefully."

"Thank you, Young Master. However, I still have one wish. As long as that wish is fulfilled, I do not care what happens afterward."
