When leaving, Tang Yin simply gazed at the moon for a few minutes in silence.
For him, looking at the moon is always enough to calm his heart and to make him think calmly.
His normally proud personality becos a little more docile as he gazes at the moon. For he feels the warmth of a lost love.
That is why he loves to look at it so much.
During that ti, Bai Lixue was a little uncomfortable and wanted to explain things.
She felt that he was doubting her, that's why she wanted to explain herself, but how should she do it?
Still, not knowing how to do it, she decided to speak.
"Tang Yin, it's not my intention to hide you..." She said, and Tang Yin stopped her by stroking her head a little.
"It's okay, Lixue. I understand that it's not your intention to hide sothing from , and, I also understand that I'm not in the right to ask sothing like that. You have your problems and you also have your secrets, you don't need to say anything else. Besides..." Tang Yin spoke calmly but was interrupted at the end by Bai Lixue, who shook her head several tis.
"No, Tang Yin. Although I understand what you say is correct, I want to tell you this ti." She said and glared at him.
"I don't understand what it is to fall in love. I always liked to be free and traveling was my biggest dream, but I never wanted to travel with soone else because it's a burden in case I want to do sothing new. If I want to climb a mountain, traveling with soone else might prevent from doing it because maybe that person doesn't want to. That's why I travel alone and always have.
Besides, falling in love is never good, that's what I thought before." She said and didn't stop.
"My mom once told that falling in love was a nice thing to do, but how could it be? She suffered so much from doing it, so falling in love is not nice at all.
That's why I never understood what she was saying, but, since we started talking and I was able to complent you so well, I've started to understand why she said that going on adventures with soone you like, is a good thing." She looked up and stared at him.
"I don't know what it's like to fall in love. I don't know if I have the right to do it either. But I like traveling with you and I don't know why, that's why I did that a while ago. It's nice to travel with you, you always have sothing to talk about and you teach a lot, but you don't do it like you're my teacher, but more like a companion and that makes feel good.
Because I..." He said and paused, then looked at the ground and bit her lip.
"...I am a slave and so is my mom, that's why I don't aspire to be your wife. I just want to travel with you and go on adventures. If soday my dream cos true, I want you to et Mom. But I don't want anything else because I'm just a slave. And because I only want to travel with the person who made feel good." She said softly looking at the ground in embarrassnt for what she was saying.
Tang Yin looked at her stunned, 'Is she a slave?' He thought with surprise, but soon after, he smiled and lifted her face with his hand a little.
She was surprised and tried to lower her face quickly.
But Tang Yin didn't allow it, on the contrary, he gave her a little kiss on her lips leaving her stunned.
"Tell a little more. Don't close with if you want to help you." He said softly, surprising her.
Her face turned red, and a tear spilled from the corner of her eye.
Tang Yin wiped it away with his hand, and she then smiled with her beautiful face and nodded.
After that, they both sat down, and she began to tell him.
"Originally, I belonged to a powerful clan in the desert, beyond human territories. We were respected by everyone there and the demons didn't ss with us because of that.
Our clan was passive and did business with humans on the mainland, belonging to a powerful sect, so no one dared to do anything to us." She said and paused for a mont when she had finished telling this, looked down a little, and sighed.
"But that sect wanted to destroy us and they attacked us. My mom was taken captive during that ti by one of the sect leaders. During the first few days they treated my mom well and lied to her in different ways, they never told her that our clan had been destroyed or anything like that.
And she gradually fell in love with that person who had taken her captive and, eventually, had , the cursed daughter of two spiritual supres. It's just that..."
"Once this happened, she let her guard down and was branded by a slave mark. Her cultivation as a Spiritual Supre was rendered useless, her spiritual weapon was separated from her body. She was locked in the dungeon, where I was raised for most of my first 12 years of life." She said and smiled pitifully to herself and sighed.
"She had to pay a high price by giving up her heavenly body, solely to earn my freedom. She... She is the best mother." She said, and tears slowly began to fall down her face.
Tang Yin frowned as he heard all this.
'They ripped off her spirit weapon and also her heavenly body? Shit, that's cruel.' He thought.
Although he had never felt the pain of having sothing like that ripped off, he knew that was too painful. Perhaps the most painful anyone could ever feel in their life.
But what surprised him the most was... 'With all that, she still had the energy to raise a genius daughter like her? Shit, this woman is admirable.' Tang Yin thought but was pulled out of his thoughts by Bai Lixue.
"That's why I'm here. And that's why I'm not going to ask you for anything else. I just want to travel with you, if I ever get strong, I'll co back and fight to the death against those guys. I will die in that place if I have to, but I will kill them. But, before that happens, I want to understand what my mom was telling .
And fulfill her request." Bai Lixue said and stared at Tang Yin as he glared back at her.
She smiled with so embarrassnt at that mont.
"You asked why I could see so much more than the rest, you said my eyes were special. Yes, that's true. One of my eyes is special." She said and then tapped it twice.
"My right eye is not real. I lost it when I was attacked by the eldest son of the guy who raped my mom. He took it upon himself to gouge out my eye without a care in the world, even though he is my brother. Luckily, when I was traveling here, in ancient ruins I found this.
I don't know what it is, but when I found it, I was wounded and blood fell into it, then it attached to my body and since then I can see many things." She said and smiled at him.
"I can see you as you are." She said without taking her eyes off him.
"Tang Yin, your soul and your body are not the sa..." She said and raised her hand to touch his face, "Your wounds on your face have a curse. Your soul is bright, brighter than anything. It is unique and beautiful, with long silver hair. And your blue eyes occasionally change color and turn silver, just like the hair on your soul.
You're the only living thing I've ever seen that's like that, that's why I protected you that ti." She spoke softly as she caressed the beautiful face in front of her.
