Chapter 159 Fighting
Just then, a melodious celestial tune drifted from the mountains and seas, like the cry of a phoenix, full of feminine beauty. Faintly accompanying it were the calls of a hundred birds, a harmonious interplay of dragon's roar and phoenix's cry. The soaring phoenix cry firmly dominated, while the sounds of other birds rose and fell, submitting to the breathtaking beauty. Water, clouds, and the ethereal melody, long and drawn out, gradually began to take its place. The ice dragon's power and might dissolved into that tender affection. Loneliness, like a flower blooming in the celestial realm, faded and withered, leaving only a distant, mirage. The ice dragon silently plunged into the water, where the flowing Milky Way reflected a crescent moon—a scene both real and illusory.
Chao Bufan's mind suddenly went blank for a moment, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly. The ice dragon that fell off the cliff never rose again. Before seeing him, his voice was heard. His warmth was like flowing clouds, and his pride surpassed that of dragons and phoenixes.
"What kind of frivolous person dares to be so insolent? Get out of here at once!"
The clear and melodious celestial music came from an unseen distance, domineering and inviolable, yet it was a rebuke, but also so gentle. It was hard to imagine what kind of peerless fairy its master was.
Bai Yu obediently shrank his head and remained silent, like a child who had done something wrong, and hid in a crevice in the rock, covering his mouth and chuckling.
Having lived two lives, Chao Bufan was incredibly proud and unwilling to swallow his pride. Without hesitation, he struck the smooth, mirror-like rock face with his palm. Countless cracks, like venomous snakes, writhed and snaked, their scarlet forked tongues flashing as they pounced on their prey. Ling Han's energy traversed time and space, escaping into the void, breaking through layers of mist with a single, swift stroke, like a dragonfly skimming the water, leaving delicate cracks on the white jade flute.
Zhuozhuo's slender hands held a white jade flute. The melody of "Clouds and Water Ballad" that had been playing at her lips paused. She moved aside the shattered white clouds, revealing a pair of small, delicate hands. Clear, sparkling water droplets rippled across her face. She tossed her cascading, flowing hair, and a chill crept onto her fair, clean cheeks. Her cherry lips gently blew on the crack in the flute, and the water drifted away like snowflakes.
"Baiyu, instead of staying home, you brought a stranger here to act so insolently. Just wait and see how I deal with you! This person is so rude, so don't blame this fairy for showing no mercy. Go!"
With a flick of the flute, the clouds and water seemed to obey, and in June, a heavy snow fell from the sky. The thick sky could no longer bear the gloom, and howling snowflakes poured down like celestial maidens scattering flowers, basket after basket of snowflakes drifting down, a truly dazzling sight. Thousands of figures scattering flowers—that was a natural disaster. The blazing sun radiated its dazzling light, melting the ice and snow, but to no avail. In an instant, the entire island was covered with a thick layer of snow. Before it could dissipate, the biting wind spontaneously began to sculpt ice flowers, various shapes of ice crystals mixed in with the snowdrifts, water freezing into ice, ice and snow intertwined, the bone-chilling cold truly not to be underestimated.
The ground was so cold and desolate, not to mention the sheer cliffs hanging in mid-air, where the rock walls were even colder to the bone. The mountains were sculpted into snowdrifts, and the two figures were just small protrusions.
Bai Yu was shocked and filled with remorse. He was filled with regret, realizing he shouldn't have joked about his older sister's innocence. He shivered from the cold, his teeth chattering involuntarily, and most of his body was numb. Tears streamed down his face. His hands, like icicles, reflected a rainbow of colors, as if they would shatter at the slightest movement.
Half-awake and half-asleep, she had truly suffered, looking utterly pitiful. Anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her. After enduring it for a while, she couldn't bear it any longer. With a start, she rushed out, wailing and crying, "Big sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong! You're so kind, please forgive me this time. It was all... it was all because he coveted your beauty and forced me to come. It really had nothing to do with me! Waaah..."
The little brat cried and sobbed, recounting his extraordinary faults while simultaneously praising his older sister's stunning beauty, killing two birds with one stone.
Chao Bufan was still using his internal energy to resist the bitter cold when he heard these words. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood and fainted. He cursed inwardly, "Damn you, my two older sisters! You cunning brat! How can you be so disloyal? You clearly made me do this, and now you say it's none of your business. Bai Yu, you dare to scheme against me! I..."
Bai Yu, as if he had grown ears that could hear the wind, stuck out his tongue and made a face, his expression seemingly saying: "Childhood is innocent, children can admit their mistakes and correct them, how come you are more stubborn than a donkey? If you insist on resisting, don't complain that your little brother is not loyal."
"Baiyu, you brat, you've turned every corner of Sun Village into a mess. When has it ever been peaceful? How come you don't even respect your elder sister now, and you let outsiders harass me? How can I forgive you!" A cold voice swept over him, and he grew even colder.
Perhaps she was truly angry, for she smiled faintly, as if brightening the mountain scenery, and snorted, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll cause a huge uproar next time, and no one will be able to handle you!"
It turned out that he had a long history of bad deeds. No matter how clever Bai Yu was, he was unmoved by water or fire. He shrugged dejectedly, but his spirits remained high. He quickly activated the true energy in his body, and his feet seemed to be on wheels of fire. Two waves of energy extended from his arms, giving him a pair of wings. He floated in mid-air, neither touching the sky nor the ground, and without relying on any external objects, just like a bird soaring through the air.
This was the first time Chao Bufan had encountered such a situation. He was startled, and his mind went blank for a moment. Suddenly, his feet felt cold. Before he could react, he fell down in a daze. If he had really hit the ground, he would probably have been smashed to pieces!
A flash of white light disappeared in the blink of an eye; the black dot was nowhere to be seen. The wind howled, the clouds drifted on, and the earth and mountains moved in perfect harmony, opening and closing without disturbing a single thread.
The lily fairy, languidly standing on the cloud, blinked her eyes, capturing every moment, and together with her younger brother Baiyu, stared at the movements below, holding their breath.
Unfortunately, it was completely silent, without a sound. At first, it seemed like a ruse. After a short while, Baiyu grew anxious. He didn't care whether his elder sister would be angry. He turned and scurried away, flapping his wings that extended from the air currents. He swooped down from the air like a large bird, its head tilted as it flew through the snow, looking incredibly handsome.
Will Chao Bufan really die from the fall?
The moment he fell, he knew he had missed a step. Recalling Bai Yu's flight through the air, he tested the method several times and finally grasped its secrets. Normally, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Although he could fly by stepping on air, it wasn't true flight, but rather using external force. Although his initial understanding of the method was not very proficient, he managed to do it passably and with a semblance of skill. He quickly flipped upwards in mid-air, pouring all his internal energy into his legs, and only then did he barely manage to stabilize himself.
