Chapter 2463 Reincarnation
"If you want to thank someone, thank him. He was the one who begged me to save you," Qin Sang pointed to the side.
At this moment, Baihe and Chilei emerged from the shadows. Faced with the female cultivator's surprised gaze, Baihe's expression stiffened. He stared straight at the female cultivator without saying a word, showing none of his romantic charm.
The female cultivator's cheeks flushed red as the white crane stared at her. Several Crimson Wing Clan members looked on with displeasure, but dared not retaliate because Qin Sang was nearby.
Chi Lei had never seen a white crane like this before. He found it amusing and chuckled strangely, then poked the white crane hard.
Bai He glared at him, his lips moved slightly, and he bowed to the female cultivator, saying, "I am Qin Bai He. May I ask your name, fairy?"
He had a bookish look, like an inexperienced newbie.
Qin Sang chuckled. This guy had followed her all this way, yet he didn't even know the female cultivator's name.
The female cultivator's clansmen called her "Young Miss," but Bai He seemed afraid of something and hesitated to approach her, only daring to watch her from afar like a gazing stone. This was their first contact.
Since ancient times, it has always been either the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind or the West Wind prevailing over the East Wind. Seeing the white crane's clumsy performance, the female cultivator's blush faded slightly, and she covered her mouth and chuckled. She first thanked him profusely, and then said, "Young master, you can just call me by my nickname, Yue'er."
The white crane was struck as if by lightning.
Chi Lei was utterly shocked, his eyes wide, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "You're also called Yue'er?"
Yue'er was puzzled by their reaction. "Yue'er is the nickname my father gave me. Have you seen another Yue'er?"
Qin Sang looked at the white crane, then at the moon, remaining silent, but in her heart she wondered, was it really just a coincidence?
Chi Lei gestured to Bai He with his eyes, but Bai He stood there blankly, seemingly lost in thought. Chi Lei wanted to kick him, so he coughed lightly and asked, "May I ask how old Fairy Yue'er is?"
……
"Senior and fellow Daoists, you must come to the Crimson Melt Kingdom in the future and give Yue'er a chance to repay your kindness," Yue'er said sincerely.
She had invited many helpers to search for the Phoenix Clan's ruins. Just moments ago, the group was a large and impressive one, but now only she and her clansmen remain; the rest have all perished.
Yue'er was very troubled, not knowing how to explain things when she got back. She had wanted to invite Qin Sang and the others to visit Chi Rong Kingdom, but Qin Sang refused, so she didn't insist.
After bidding farewell to Qin Sang, Yue'er led her people on their way.
After they left, Chi Lei whispered, "Master, this fairy was born shortly after Yue'er passed away..."
Swallowing hard, Chi Lei asked in a trembling voice, "Could she really be the reincarnation of Yue'er?"
Baihe watched the receding figure, still looking lost and dejected.
He had previously insisted that the female cultivator was his Yue'er, but that was just to numb himself. Deep down, he knew that his Yue'er had long since died and that he had buried her himself.
The female cultivator not only resembled Yue'er in every smile and frown, but even her name and the time of her birth were full of strange coincidences, which made him feel somewhat at a loss, worried that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
"Reincarnation..."
Qin Sang ascended to the Spirit Realm from the Lesser Thousand Worlds and has now traveled halfway through the Spirit Realm, so she has seen and learned a great deal.
The concept of reincarnation has never been proven, and Qin Sang always believed that it was merely a beautiful wish expressed by all living beings in the world.
However, it cannot be confirmed that they have truly encountered Yue'er's reincarnation. It can only be said that there are too many coincidences, which has aggravated their suspicions, and they have no idea how to verify it.
If reincarnation truly exists, people wouldn't be so afraid of death and separation. There is still hope for transcendence after reincarnation, even if the person who transcends may no longer be themselves, and even if this hope is extremely slim!
At this moment, another change occurred in the distance. Several waves suddenly rose within the red clouds, causing cloud explosions. It must have been a battle between experts. However, the storm quickly subsided, and the red clouds gradually became more and more solid, eventually hardening into one solid block.
The crimson clouds transformed into rocks, and the endless crimson cloud mountains stood majestically like a red monster.
The crimson cloud mountain lay silently on the earth, not a single person could be seen. The cultivators who had entered the mountain before were all swallowed up by this crimson cloud mountain, their fate unknown.
Qin Sang sensed that things weren't so simple and asked, "Has anything major happened recently among the half-demon races and kingdoms?"
The customs of half-demons are very different from those of demons. Although they are divided into many tribes due to their appearance and bloodline, some tribes have united to establish immortal kingdoms, and some great kingdoms are even ruled by several powerful tribes.
Scattered throughout the vast Great Wind Plains are numerous half-demon kingdoms, large and small.
Chi Lei and Bai He exchanged a glance and shook their heads to indicate that they did not know. With their cultivation level, they could only protect themselves and dared not travel around. Moreover, as demons, they would face many inconveniences in the territory of half-demons.
Qin Sang stared at the giant red cloud mountain, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes. She decided not to pursue the matter any further and left with Chi Lei and Bai He.
During the rest of the journey, Qin Sang learned about the customs and traditions of the half-demons and their current situation through Chi Lei and Bai He, which gave rise to an idea.
He had always wanted to establish an altar and govern the region, but he had been struggling to find a suitable place. Now, he had a good option: Qin Hou and Bai Ying'er had already laid a solid foundation.
However, this is, after all, a foreign land. If one wants to achieve something, one must consider all aspects to avoid leaving any hidden dangers.
Before leaving Fengmo, Qin Sang summoned his bandits and left them some treasures, greatly increasing their strength.
He planned to let these wind bandits stay and continue to recruit other wind bandits to expand his power. However, he did not reveal his true intentions. Once he decided to settle down here, establish an altar and govern, he would have plenty of time to plot against the Qilin Origin.
The wind and sand are blowing.
A streak of light pierced through the yellow sand and landed on the edge of the desert.
"Further ahead lies the territory of the Wind Desert Kingdom," Chi Lei pointed forward. "It is said that the royal family of the Wind Desert Kingdom possesses the bloodline of the Wind-Born Beast, granting them the innate ability to control the wind and its direction. The wind maps drawn by the Wind Desert Kingdom are exquisitely detailed and reliable, leading to many other countries, making it convenient for cultivators to come to the Wind Desert. The Wind Desert is a notoriously dangerous forbidden land, yet the Wind Desert Kingdom treats it as a cash cow..."
Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths.
Every race in the Great Wind Plains strives to utilize their strengths to survive in this harsh environment. The Horned Life Kingdom, where Chi Lei and his group reside, faced a difficult situation due to a lack of such means of livelihood, which only improved after Bai Ying'er broke through to the Void Refinement stage.
The rules in Fengmo Kingdom were very lenient, and Qin Sang and his companions did not encounter any checks. However, the journey ahead was not so smooth. These half-demon kingdoms had strict surveillance over the eye of the storm within their borders, and Qin Sang did not want to cause trouble for no reason, so he had to take a detour.
Among the half-demon kingdoms, Horned Kingdom is located in a relatively remote area. By the time Qin Sang and the others arrived, Qin Hou and Bai Ying'er had already received a message in advance.
Below the eye of the storm.
A man and a woman stood here, having been waiting for a long time. The Wind Eye cultivators who were stationed here were nowhere to be seen; only the two of them were present.
The female cultivator, dressed in a white dress, was elegant and graceful. She would occasionally look up at the eye of the storm, her eyes filled with anticipation, joy, and a touch of trepidation. It was Bai Ying'er.
The man beside her was dressed in a smart black outfit, with a lean build, a square face, and piercing eyes. He was the two-headed Hou, who had now transformed into human form and changed his name to Qin Hou.
Sensing Bai Ying'er's mood, Qin Hou grasped her delicate hand.
Holding his firm and strong hand, Bai Ying'er felt much more at ease. She nestled gently in his arms and said softly, "Husband, do you think our mentor will approve of us?"
Qin Hou frowned: "We're mutually in love, what business is it of his!"
Bai Ying'er had heard Qin Hou talk about his entanglement with Qin Sang, and she also knew that although Qin Hou was grateful to Qin Sang for passing on his superior skills to him, he still harbored resentment and bitterness about what happened back then.
She gently pinched Qin Hou and scolded, "You mustn't be disrespectful to your teacher."
Qin Hou couldn't lash out, so he muttered, "He hasn't even acknowledged you as his disciple yet! Maybe his cultivation level isn't even as high as yours right now!"
Upon receiving the messages from Chi Lei and Bai He, he was first taken aback, then recalled the events of that year, and felt a mix of emotions.
He didn't hate Qin Sang. Thinking about it, Qin Sang hadn't treated him badly. It was because of that superior martial arts technique that he had achieved what he had today. However, he was still ashamed and angry whenever he thought about being used as a mount by Qin Sang, and he couldn't shake off his resentment.
If Qin Sang's current cultivation level is still lower than Ying'er's, it would be a good opportunity to vent her anger, although it is unlikely.
After the Storm Realm merged into the Great Thousand World, Qin Hou heard various rumors about Qin Sang and knew that his former master had traveled all over the Storm Realm and could stir up storms wherever he went. He was no ordinary person.
"Don't talk nonsense. A teacher for a day is a father for life! Whether my teacher acknowledges me or not, he will always be my teacher! Besides, without my teacher, we would have died of old age in the mortal world long ago. How could we be where we are today?"
Bai Ying'er glared at Qin Hou, who touched his nose, gave a barely perceptible hum, and said nothing more.
"Judging from the tone of Chi Lei and Bai He, my master's cultivation level is definitely beyond my reach. You must not be disrespectful in front of my master. I will ask my master to help heal the hidden injuries in your body."
"I told you long ago it wasn't a hidden injury, but rather..."
Qin Hou was about to argue when he saw Bai Ying'er's concerned and guilty eyes, and his heart softened. He also remembered that the cultivation technique was given to him by Qin Sang, so perhaps Qin Sang really had a solution. He hugged Bai Ying'er and sighed softly, "I've been thinking about too many old things these days, and I was just complaining to you! For your sake, I can't fall out with him."
Just then, a ripple appeared from the eye of the storm, and then three figures descended from the sky.
Upon reuniting with Bai Ying'er and Qin Hou, Qin Sang couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of life and how things had changed.
Qin Sang didn't have a deep impression of Bai Ying'er. She was just a little girl who followed him in cultivation for a while. Qin Sang didn't do his best to guide her. After that, he never saw her again, only hearing news about her a few times intermittently.
As for the two-headed Hou, Qin Sang had subdued quite a few demonic beasts and still vividly remembered this arrogant fellow. Now, looking at the expression of the two-headed Hou after its transformation, one could still vaguely see the stubborn shadow of those days.
Seeing Qin Sang's gentle smile, Bai Ying'er felt as if she had returned to her teenage years, when her parents were still alive. Although her mentor was stern and unapproachable, every word he said was invaluable and had benefited her to this day.
She wasn't Qin Sang's formal disciple; she didn't even have a formal title before. But in her heart, she always regarded Qin Sang as her master.
After she and Qin Sang parted ways, she endured many hardships, resulting in the death of her parents and leaving her with no relatives or friends. She always remembered Qin Sang's guidance, which enabled her to continuously improve and overcome dangers. Later, she reunited with the two-headed Hou, and the two of them depended on each other for survival. It was all because of Qin Sang that they met.
When the Storm Realm ascended and the storm subsided, she learned of Qin Sang's origins. She then went to Qingyang Temple, only to find that her master had already passed away. Fortunately, Li Yufu took her as his junior sister in place of his master, and that's how she entered the sect.
I thought we would never see each other again in this lifetime, but then I was swept here by the mist waterfall and we were able to meet again in a foreign land. It is truly a twist of fate.
……
Recalling the past, Bai Ying'er was filled with emotion. At this moment, she felt as if she had found the strongest support, and felt relieved. She took light steps and bowed gracefully: "Ying'er greets her mentor."
Seeing that Bai Ying'er was truly sincere, Qin Sang felt gratified but also somewhat ashamed. "We met by chance back then, but I never expected to have the chance to rekindle our connection. Since you still acknowledge me as your master, I will formally accept you as my disciple today..."
Seeing Bai Ying'er's joyful expression, Qin Sang couldn't help but think of her other disciples, wondering how they were doing now.
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Finally fulfilling her long-cherished wish, Bai Ying'er couldn't wait to kowtow to Qin Sang, and from now on, she would rightfully call herself his disciple.
"Get up..."
Qin Sang will give gifts to the newly accepted disciple. Not only that, but she will also help Bai Ying'er to improve her cultivation and plan her path in the future, and take on the responsibilities of a master.
He could already tell that Bai Ying'er's foundation was unstable, and he guessed that the forced breakthrough had created hidden dangers.
"Master, who is he...?"
Bai Ying'er wanted to introduce Qin Hou, but Qin Sang waved her hand to stop her.
He turned his gaze to Qin Hou. Qin Hou had been standing to the side, coldly watching the master and disciple, his expression tense.
Qin Sang glanced at Qin Hou, then at Bai Ying'er, and said jokingly, "You still couldn't escape my grasp. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
Qin Hou's face suddenly darkened, and he almost lost his composure, his teeth grinding together.
"Master!"
Bai Ying'er blushed crimson at being teased by her master, but she was secretly delighted. The fact that her master could joke about them meant that he had already approved of their relationship.
Bai Ying'er secretly tugged at Qin Hou's sleeve, afraid that his stubborn temper would flare up and he would talk back to his master.
Qin Hou had no choice but to swallow his anger. Bai Ying'er pulled him along, and he reluctantly bowed to Qin Sang, remaining silent with a cold face.
Qin Sang wouldn't let him off the hook, adopting the demeanor of a master, "My Ying'er can't marry such a rude man. Ying'er calls me master, so what should you call me?"
Seeing Bai Ying'er's pleading eyes, Qin Hou let out a long breath, finally lowered his head, and said stiffly, "Master."
"Hahaha……"
Qin Sang burst into laughter, "If I call you Master, how could I possibly mistreat you?"
He handed him a bone flute. Qin Hou was initially dismissive, but after urging it on, a scripture appeared in his mind.
