Chapter 267– Domain of Stillness
“Oh, so troublesome! This old one has never seen such a long-winded person before!” Bei Xiaolu scratched her head impatiently, “Are you proficient or not, is it that difficult to answer? Why do you talk so much nonsense. Spit it out, will you?”
“…”
Xue Qilin was silent for a long time.
Bei Xiaolu’s conduct is offhand. She’s probably the type that doesn’t use her brain very often. Maybe she just subconsciously called my magic “nuisance” out of habit.
Xue Qilin told herself this, and then finally sighed, saying, “Yes, I’m proficient… what about it?”
Bei Xiaolu didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she took a sip of wine. The way she drinks is quite heroic, not loosing to men at all. The drink naturally overflowed again.
After finishing drinking, the lass wiped her mouth and said angrily, “Humph, if you just answered earlier, wouldn’t it be over quickly? That long-winded chatter.”
From her various reactions, she seems to be a typical impatient and excitable type. But that doesn’t mean that she’s brainless. The fact that she lured Xue Qilin with wine proves that she isn’t stupid.
How can the vice-Union Master be stupid? Xue Qilin thinks that at least she herself isn’t qualified for the post of vice-Temple Master.
As if taking the silver wolf as an idiot, Bei Xiaolu patted its head rhythmically and requested, “Help this old one tie this large dog up!”
Bei Xiaolu arrogantly waved her large sleeve, then raised her chin and showed an expression of provocation.
“Can you? Use magic to bind.”
Hearing her questioning tone, even though she is aware that this is a provocation tactic that can only be described as clumsy, but Xue Qilin got inexplicably mad.
Some people will laugh it off when doubted. But Xue Qilin is not such a person. Not unlike Qii Qiqi, she will jump out to refute when someone doubts her.
Well, some things must not be profaned.
“Of course I can!”
Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and answered. If eve an immobile person — wolf can’t be tied up, then her famous “Natural Disaster” nickname would be wasted on her.
“Open your eyes wide and take a good look!”
“Okay! This old one will take a look at what you little one are capable of!”
“You little jerk, Bei Xiaolu! Aren’t you little yourself?!”
“Who are you calling little!”
“You — I’m calling you!”
Xue Qilin jumped up, pointed at Bei Xiaolu and asserted so.
“You…”
Bei Xiaolu’s face twisted with anger.
Surprisingly, however, she endured it this time and swallowed her anger back into her belly along with saying “forget it”.
She probably recalled that she’s asking for help right now.
Since this is the case, Xue Qilin didn’t bicker any more and just puckered her lips.
She intends to help Bei Xiaolu, firstly because of the Wulin’s code of conduct that Qi Qiqi often speaks of; secondly she doesn’t want for the silver wolf to pester Bei Xiaolu without end and for things to ultimately to get out of hand.
So she reached into her sleeve. After rummaging inside for a while, she took out a few talismans and arranged them.
She took out a total of five talismans.
Different from when Li Wanting was tied up, although the silver wolf in front of her may not possess Heaven Realm strength, but in terms of realm, it is definitely comparable to the Heaven Realm — it is very difficult to fool people with aura. That is to say, in terms of pure power, the silver wolf is not inferior to an ordinary Heaven Realm practitioner. Moreover, it is a beast and possesses far greater physical strength than the average person. Therefore, for the sake of stability, Xue Qilin is using five talismans.
“Oh, little one, you have to use these silly stickers every time you use magic?”
Looking at Xue Qilin circling the silver wolf and sticking talismans around it, Bei Xiaolu asked curiously while propping her head up.
“Who is little? You may be shorter than me, okay?” Xue Qilin looked up at Bei Xiaolu unhappily. “Not all magic needs the use of talismans. Some magic that I’m not familiar with requires some assistance, and talismans are the fastest and most convenient way.”
At the same time that she answered, under the silver wolf’s glare and with it as the center, Xue Qilin placed a talisman around it for each of the four cardinal directions. When she circled around to beside its limbs, the silver wolf seemed to realize something, and it brandished its claws in an attempt to stop the lass’s movements, but the latter avoided the strikes one by one.
“Wu –”
The silver wolf could only groan in humiliation.
At this time, four of the five talismans have been set up.
The remaining one needs to be placed at the center of the silver wolf’s body, which is the place where Bei Xiaolu is sitting.
“Hey, Bei Xiaolu, get up.”
“Oh, okay.”
Bei Xiaolu doesn’t dawdle when doing things. When she heard Xue Qilin’s request, she quickly stood up while atop the silver wolf.
In front of her eyes, there is a pair of fair, delicate legs. Xue Qilin almost looked up subconsciously. She coughed gently and went to stick the talisman between Bei Xiaolu’s legs, in the center of the silver wolf.
Apparently thinking that since Bei Xiaolu’s buttocks left its body, now is a great opportunity. The silver wolf struggled violently with all its might, flailing its limbs and turning its body.
Nevertheless, Bei Xiaolu is still steady as Mount Tai [1].
“Smelly dog, stop moving!”
Bei Xiaolu just stamped her foot, and violent inner force seeped into the silver wolf. As if it suffered a heavy blow, the silver wolf became paralyzed and whimpered in pain.
“Hey, don’t kill it by accident. Otherwise, my talismans will lose their meaning.”
“Humph, this old one has a sense of propriety! No need for little you to shoot your mouth! It was just a small punishment to teach it a lesson.”
Bei Xiaolu seems to have taken Xue Qilin’s reminder as her being meddlesome.
However, what she said seems to be true. The silver wolf doesn’t display the reaction of someone that was seriously injured. It seems that she has a good control over her strength… As Xue Qilin thought so, she stuck the last talisman.
Then, a change occurred.
“Aooo –!”
The silver wolf suddenly raised its head and howled.
The deafening sound assaulted the ear drums together with a formidable force, and the two frowned and covered their ears. The sound is brimming with some meaning, as if it’s… calling for help.
It seems to be calling someone.
The moment when this thought emerged in Xue Qilin’s mind, her and Bei Xiaolu’s expression and body froze practically at the same time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the silver wolf broke free from Bei Xiaolu’s suppression and ran towards behind Xue Qilin.
— it’s snowing.
Slowly falling snowflakes filled the view.
One of the snowflakes fell on Xue Qilin’s nose, making her shiver. Although autumn is around the corner, but it is still a few months away from winter. It’s impossible for snow fall at this time.
“What have you done to Silversoul?”
With the wolf howl still lingering in the air, a cold voice that seems to be able to freeze everything rang from behind Xue Qilin.
No matter how cold a voice is, it will contain some emotion. But this voice has no emotional fluctuations, like the sound of wind blowing in permanently frozen land.
Xue Qilin didn’t look back.
There is no need to look back, since she can clearly see the newcomer’s appearance reflected in Bei Xiaolu’s eyes.
The clouds just so happened to cover the moon.
In the dark night, she is covered in a thin layer of cyan-silver light, rejecting the darkness coming from all sides. At this moment, she appears to become another moon no less brilliant than the actual moon.
White muslin decorating short silver hair, clothes similar to those of Arabian dancers set off against a large patch of exposed wheat-colored skin, and a bright red wolf head tattoo on the waist, they are all really eye-catching.
Is she really human? Xue Qilin couldn’t help but have misgivings, and the reason behind such misgivings lies in the other party’s eyes.
It is a pair of eyes full of deception. They don’t look like eyes that belong to a person.
Aquamarine jade-like cyan eyes are embedded in the girl’s slightly abstruse appearance, shining brightly. The vertical slit pupils remind one of wolf eyes [2].
Suddenly, these eyes gave of a kind of beastly wildness, yet they are unexpectedly calm and don’t overflow with primitive desires. By paying them a bit of attention, it shouldn’t be difficult to find the light of wisdom hidden in the depth of the pupils.
Wolf eyes.
Xue Qilin racked her brains and finally came up with this description. She believes this to be the most appropriate description.
What really made her and Bei Xiaolu hold their breath and tense up their bodies is that, unlike an ordinary person, the aura the girl emits is enough to crush everything and —
Her eyes have a world hidden inside.
From the moment the girl appeared, Xue Qilin felt like she fell into a vast snowfield ravaged by snow storms. With the cyan-silver girl as the center, a certain force is stirring the surrounding environment and even the whole world.
“Dammit! Bei Xiaolu, before hitting a dog, you have to find out who it’s master is first! Who’s wolf did you hit?!”
Xue Qilin roared.
However, before her voice could spread far away, it went still, as if frozen by the early snow. It was the aura the girl released that made the voice return to nothingness.
“… Domain of Stillness, this is the first time this old one has seen it.”
Bei Xiaolu broke out in a cold sweat. However, she still smiled defiantly.
What the other party mentioned, Xue Qilin had previously heard of it. It came up when Qi Qiqi introduced the three Grandmasters.
Domain of Stillness.
Its master if the Northern Kingdom’s Grandmaster
“Lone Silverblue Wolf” — Cang Lin.
[1] – Mount Tai
[2] – wolves have round pupils…
