A City Swept by Wind and Snow GL - Chapter 38 1.2

◎Demon Slayer, I think you should actually be called the Bl00d-Drenching Man◎

Among the five duels to qualify for the confrontation with the Sea Star Palace Master on Heavenly Origin Peak, the match between Tang Fei and Lou Wailou was the last one. This was also the duel with the lowest chance of victory among the five.

Xi Feng’s question added a layer of chill to the already unhappy atmosphere. Xue Qianxun handed the note she had previously found on the little silver fox, Little Silver’s neck, to Xi Feng.

“Lou Wailou is Azure Dragon. At wǔ shí sān kè (3:45 PM), Tang Fei died in battle, his body fell into the Cliff of Severed Affections.”

The handwriting, written in bl00d by Vermillion Bird in her great sorrow, was slightly messy, and the color had already turned murky. Xi Feng looked at the heavy “death” character in every stroke, and only her brow moved slightly.

Jin Se said, “Bad news?”

“Mhm, two pieces,” Xi Feng flicked her slender finger, and the small piece of paper floated lightly into Jin Se’s hand.

Jin Se looked at the words and was stunned for a moment, but it was only a moment of shock.

Xi Feng and Jin Se were both extremely calm people, yet their reactions still made Xue Qianxun utterly confused. She couldn’t help but ask, “Are you… not sad?”

“What’s the use of ‘sadness’?” Following this, both Xi Feng and Jin Se spoke in unison. This made Xue Qianxun pause—in fact, Xi Feng and Jin Se were naturally the partners with the best rapport.

“I heard,” Jin Se said to Xi Feng, “that before I joined the Carefree Divine Cult, the Azure Dragon Protector was the only one in the Cult who could keep up with your pace—you were the partners with the best rapport, right?”

Xi Feng said flatly, “It seems he has surpassed me. And, so far, the partner I have the best rapport with,” she looked at Jin Se, “is you.”

Jin Se smiled, casually tossing the note away. The leaf of medicinal paper with the bloody writing tumbled a few times in the wind and quietly lay on the ground.

Neither Azure Dragon’s betrayal nor Tang Fei’s death caused a great uproar among them. In comparison, Jin Se seemed more concerned about Xi Feng’s duel with the Demon Slayer: “You don’t seem injured at all.”

“Mhm.”

“But you fought until just now?”

“No,” Xi Feng said. “Most of the time, the Demon Slayer was playing hide-and-seek with me. The actual duel was probably only—” Xi Feng slowly walked in a circle around the pine tree Jin Se had just been leaning on—”—this long.”

Jin Se pursed her lips.

Xue Qianxun interjected, “You defeated him that quickly?”

Jin Se mused, “I’m surprised he could play hide-and-seek with you for that long… Or, were you playing with him?”

Xi Feng stared at Jin Se and said seriously, “Do you think I have that kind of refined leisure?” Then her gaze seemed to unintentionally sweep over Xue Qianxun. With everyone fighting their own battles, and Jin Se, Xue Qianxun, and Tang Fei all facing opponents of unknown strength, it would be strange for Xi Feng to be in the mood to play hide-and-seek with someone!

“Hmm, then it’s strange if that Demon Slayer really died!” Jin Se immediately said. Someone with the ability to play hide-and-seek with Xi Feng for that long couldn’t be defeated by Xi Feng in just a moment.

Xue Qianxun quickly asked, “Then did Xi Feng get the Demon Slayer’s name plaque?”

Xi Feng nodded, then said to Jin Se, “The Demon Slayer, he’s an odd person.” Her gaze drifted into the distance, as if lost in thought.

Jin Se waited for a while, but there was no follow-up.

“Xi Feng, she’s a half-finished wind!” Jin Se rarely seemed impatient. This time, she was not only a little impatient but also quite dissatisfied, because she really wanted to know what was “odd” about the person whom even Xi Feng called “odd.”

Xue Qianxun was between laughter and tears.

“…He’s here,” Xi Feng said, pointing with her hand: “How odd he is, you see for yourself.” It turned out she had just discovered him.

Jin Se and Xue Qianxun looked in the direction Xi Feng was pointing at the same time. However, there was no one there.

Xue Qianxun: “Where?…”

Jin Se: “Bl00d!…”

Xue Qianxun had not finished her two words, and Jin Se’s one word had just left her mouth, when Xi Feng’s Ice Soul Silk shot out like a bolt of lightning towards the direction she had just pointed.

The air was suddenly stirred up, and the smell of bl00d from that person became clearer.

“Demon Slayer, I think you should actually be called the Bl00d-Drenching Man,” Xi Feng’s voice was cold as ice. “Also, don’t even think about taking back your name plaque.”

“Heh…” The person’s laughter was clear and unrestrained: “I have two name plaques as well. Why would I need to snatch yours? Besides, such a rude welcoming ceremony is not suitable for treating an old friend.”

The Ice Soul Silk, which shot out with extreme force from Xi Feng, was easily grasped between the person’s fingers. The dominant force had already been neutralized. The snow-white silk led out an elegant and handsome man with a graceful demeanor. In his other hand, two name plaques rattled with a crisp dīng dōng sound. Engraved on them were two names—”Lou Wailou” and “Tang Fei.”

Xi Feng looked at him, and two words slowly emerged from her lips: “Azure, Dragon…”
