Chapter 1010

: Love Her or Save Her
Bai Yao didn’t wake up after falling asleep.
Aside from the fact that she was still breathing, all of her vital signs were slowly diminishing.
A terrifying thought occurred to Xiao Chou.
Xiao Chou held on tightly to Bai Yao as her body grew colder, and he called her name over and over again, but she didn’t respond.

Little Yao, Little Yao, please don’t scare me like this!


Wake up!

Xiao Chou trembled with fear as he held onto the woman in his arms.
He was about to break down. Just when his heart was filled with despair, he suddenly thought of someone.
This was a man who could work miracles even in the direst situations!
Xiao Chou hurriedly refined Bai Yao’s storage ring and pulled out his voice transmission talisman to contact that man. To his surprise, the voice transmission was answered almost instantaneously.

Big Brother An, I…
Xiao Chou was choking up with tears and couldn’t formulate a coherent sentence.

Just tell me where you and Bai Yao are, and I’ll come to find you right away!
An Lin’s voice was tinged with a sense of urgency.
A sense of indescribable warmth and hope surged through Xiao Chou’s heart, and he immediately disclosed his location to An Lin.

You’ll be ok, Little Yao, Big Brother An’s coming. He can do anything, and he’ll definitely save you…
Xiao Chou held Bai Yao tightly in his arms and muttered to himself over and over again.
He had never been so helpless before, and he had never hated himself more for his powerlessness.
Soon, a spatial rift appeared from nearby.
An Lin made his way out of the spatial passageway with Da Bai and Tina in accompaniment. There was also someone else with them; someone who was extremely familiar to Xiao Chou. It was Bai Yao’s mother, Bai Muyu!
Bai Muyu stepped forward and grabbed Bai Yao from Xiao Chou’s arms before unleashing a spell technique to detect her condition.

How is she?
An Lin flew over as well before inquiring in an urgent voice.
Bai Muyu’s expression was extremely grim, and she didn’t say anything. She laid a fingertip on Bai Yao’s glabella. Countless golden symbols soon flowed from her finger into Bai Yao’s head.
Everyone stood by silently and didn’t dare to disrupt her.
Xiao Chou was staring unblinkingly at Bai Yao’s face while praying that she would wake up.
After a short while, the golden symbols disappeared.
Bai Muyu’s face was pouring with sweat, and she was panting heavily.

Little Yao has three days left to live. We have to capture Chen Nan during these three days!
Bai Muyu said with a grave expression before turning to Xiao Chou with a vicious glare.
Xiao Chou recoiled slightly at her ferocious expression.
However, he still inquired in an urgent voice,
Will Little Yao be saved if we capture Chen Nan?


That’s right. If Little Yao marries him and engages in intercourse, their powers will combine, and their auras of yin and yang would fuse together to repress Little Yao’s rampaging Frosty Yang Root,
Bai Muyu explained in a firm voice.
Everyone instantly fell silent.
Bai Muyu’s words were like a clap of thunder exploding in Xiao Chou’s mind, and his whole body began to tremble.
Even An Lin, Tina, and Da Bai were dumbstruck.
What the fck?! Having sex with Chen Nan would save Bai Yao? What a load of bullsht!
But then again, that explained how that farcical wedding came to be.

I’ve deployed scouts to search for Chen Nan these past few days, and they’ve told me that he is currently at the Sea Heart Palace of the West Sea. We don’t have much time.
Bai Muyu took a deep breath before turning to An Lin and the others.
I’m going to need your help with this.

Everyone remained silent.

No… We can’t go…

Xiao Chou’s hands had balled up into fists, and he practically roared through gritted teeth.
Bai Muyu turned to Xiao Chou, and her eyes widened with incredulity.
Are you insane? You would rather see Bai Yao die than have her get married? How can you do this and still say that you love her?

Xiao Chou stared at Bai Yao with tears shimmering in his bulb-like eyes as he shook his head vigorously.
No, I know her. If we really made her marry Chen Nan, it would be more painful to her than death.

That was why Bai Yao had waited for Xiao Chou at her wedding before eloping with him. She would rather live freely for a month with the man she loved than entering into a loveless marriage.

You…!
Bai Muyu’s chest rose and fell violently with rage as she panted.
Xiao Chou looked up with unyielding eyes, from which tears were flowing.
This was a difference in opinion between Xiao Chou and his mother-in-law.
Xiao Chou was more sensitive and emotional, so he chose the same path that Bai Yao had chosen.
He refused to hand Bai Yao over to someone she didn’t love just for the sake of her survival, even if the alternative would spell her death… He felt like that would only inflict more pain upon Bai Yao!

Let’s all calm down here and consider our options. Perhaps there is another way?
An Lin immediately acted as the mediator to their argument. Conflict at a time like this was not going to help anyone.

What other way could there be? This is the only way!

Bai Muyu clenched her fists with an enraged expression.
Little Yao’s Frosty Yang Root is an extremely rare spirit root with both yang and frost elements. The spirit root is growing more and more formidable as we speak and is no longer at a stage where we can repress it. Only the purest yin-type Divine Flame could neutralize Little Yao’s power.

I’ve been searching for so long and could only find Chen Nan. Without Chen Nan’s Dark Corrosion Divine Flame, what are we going to save Little Yao with? Can you do it?!

Bai Muyu became more and more worked up as she spoke, and tears began to shimmer in her eyes.
It was also because of this that her relationship with her daughter had been steadily worsening for the past hundred years.
But she was Bai Yao’s mother. How could she just stand by idly and watch her daughter die?
If her daughter could survive at the price of marrying someone she didn’t love, then her decision as a mother was obvious!

Er… I…
Xiao Chou began in a slow voice.

You what? You can save Little Yao? If you don’t want to cooperate with me, then I’ll find another way!
Bai Muyu turned to leave with Bai Yao in her arms.

I’m saying I may actually be able to save Little Yao,
Xiao Chou said in an urgent voice.
Bai Muyu’s footsteps faltered, and she turned around.
At this moment, black flames suddenly erupted from Xiao Chou’s hands.
There seemed to be an abyssal realm of darkness within those scorching black flames.
He continued,
You told me that only the purest yin-type Divine Flame could neutralize Little Yao’s power. It seems like my Divine Flame fits that description…

Bai Muyu stared blankly at the Divine Flame in Xiao Chou’s hands as if her eyes were glued to those black flames. She had even forgotten to feel shame at being proven wrong by Xiao Chou.

Divine Flame… That really is a yin-type Divine Flame…
Bai Muyu muttered in astonishment.

So, that means Big Brother Chou can marry Bai Yao and have sex with her? Woof!
Da Bai’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Bai Muyu:
…

Xiao Chou blushed slightly upon hearing this.
As long as I can save Little Yao, I’m willing to do anything…

Bai Muyu gritted her teeth with rage. Why was he making this look like a difficult task? There were countless living creatures all over the world who would die for a chance to marry Bai Yao and have sex with her. Why did it look like Xiao Chou was the one being wronged here?
An Lin immediately provided a timely assist.
Bai Yao and Xiao Chou are in love with one another, and Xiao Chou also just happens to have a Divine Flame that can neutralize Bai Yao’s power. This is all meant to be! They’re a match made in heaven! Ms. Bai Muyu, I think we should hurry up and hold the wedding.

An Lin’s reasoning was absolutely watertight.
An Lin continued to knock the final nail into the coffin,
Yin-type Divine Flames are difficult to find. Furthermore, are you really going to marry your daughter to a man who had tried to kill her?

This was the final vital blow.
Bai Muyu had lost her sense of reason in her panicked frenzy, but An Lin’s words had knocked the sense back into her.
An Lin obviously wasn’t going to tell her that he also possessed a yin-type Divine Flame. After all, he was Xiao Chou’s master, and he had to pave the way for his beast pet’s happiness!
Would you like to hear about the Setting Moon Flame?

Bai Muyu turned her eyes toward the impossibly hideous monkey nearby and fell silent.
Could it be…
That her gorgeous daughter was really going to have to marry this ugly monkey?
