Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Female Lead Stays Out of It - Chapter 48: Peerless Under Heaven 10

He Yufei finally released her hand, and reluctantly took a step back, her expression showing great grievance. Bai Yan, however, didn’t have the time to care about her, but was just staring intently at Lin Dan in the bl00d pool. He was waiting for a result, if Lin Dan could hold on, he would let her go this time, if she lost her mind, he would send her to the underworld.

The process of waiting was extremely long, and without realizing it, a day had passed. The sunlight that had spilled in from the cave entrance was replaced by the moonlight, which gently shone on Lin Dan’s pale face. She was motionless, without even breathing, and the baby in her arms was equally quiet, only the Shura Saber was absorbing the bl00d in the bl00d pool drop by drop. The silver blade had been dyed with a layer of crimson color, and occasionally a bl00d light flashed across the sharp blade, appearing extremely eerie.

Bai Yan stood quietly not far away, his gaze never leaving Lin Dan’s face from beginning to end. He rarely had such immense patience for a certain thing or a certain person, willing to spend so much time waiting for an unknown result.

He Yufei was tired of standing, and had now squatted on the ground, and complained: “Master, Lin Dan is clearly cultivating a demonic technique, look, she’s still sucking bl00d!”

“Don’t disturb people.” Bai Yan’s low voice commanded.

He Yufei’s eyes were filled with many tears, and she was looking at her master’s back, wanting to cry but not crying, hoping that he could turn his head to look at herself and discover her grievance. But Bai Yan never turned his head, and never moved his gaze fixed on Lin Dan. He knew that before dawn, he would certainly be able to wait for a result, so his white robe billowed, his qi condensed, and he was ready to take action at any time.

In the brilliant white moonlight, Lin Dan slowly opened her eyes, but did not rush to examine the Shura Saber, which was completely red, but lifted the gauze curtain, examined the baby in her arms, and then revealed a shallow smile. The baby, who had been weak just yesterday, had now shed his purplish-blue color and become fair and lovely, and because he was soaking in vitality, he appeared extremely well-behaved. Although his eyes could not see, he vaguely sensed Lin Dan’s existence, and used his small hand to hook one of her fingertips.

The baby’s strength was very weak, but this gentle grasp seemed to grip her heart, and gave Lin Dan’s cool eyes a layer of warmth.

Only at this moment did Bai Yan discover the baby’s abnormality. He had been brought on by induced labor, and had not been full term, and had also endured such a shaking yesterday, it should have been his time to die. However, he was not only not dead, but also full of vitality, it could be seen that Lin Dan, during her fighting and meditation, did not forget to extract vitality to nourish him.

Bai Yan was very clear about the outcome of an imbalance between life and death qi, so his heart was even more shocked. He Yufei, who was standing behind him, was frightened by Lin Dan’s bl00d-covered appearance, and couldn’t help but gasp in cold air.

Only then did Bai Yan regain his senses, and slowly withdrew his billowing inner energy, and slowly exhaled a turbid breath. This person’s current appearance was exactly like a bl00d-covered Shura, but he felt that the Buddha’s smile of the flower was just like this. He had to admit that when Lin Dan looked down at the baby and smiled shallowly, his long-unmoved heart, also trembled.

“If I didn’t guess wrong, the city lord of this Never-aging City should be Dugu Hong, who disappeared ten years ago, known as the Poison Lady, and specializes in abducting babies to cultivate demonic techniques.” Seeing that Lin Dan picked up the blade and left, and had no intention of paying attention to herself, Bai Yan took the initiative to speak and solve her doubts.

Lin Dan walked to the stone mill, and stared at the remaining infants, who had already been beaten into a pool of bl00d by Dugu Hong’s poisonous palm, her eyes were dim.

Bai Yan slowly walked to her side, and sighed: “No matter how high your martial arts are, you can’t save everyone, don’t bother yourself with it.”

Lin Dan glanced at him, and looked at the infant in her arms who was sucking his hand, and then flew onto the ground. The martial artists of several underground palaces had all run away. With the help of He Yufei, those women who had not been pregnant also ran away, and the pregnant women were placed in a secret room by her, and were anxiously waiting for news.

Lin Dan did not care much, and left directly from here.

He Yufei grabbed Bai Yan’s sleeve, and begged him to stay and help her place those women, but Bai Yan refused. His primary task now was to watch Lin Dan, and he didn’t want to care about anything else. He Yufei, in order to demonstrate her kindness, even though she really wanted to leave these women and follow her master, she still held back. In the end, Bai Yan sent a letter to the sect, asking them to send people to take care of the aftermath in Never-aging City, and this matter was considered to be over.

After Lin Dan left Never-aging City, the people in the city, who could not receive the Never-aging Pill, showed their old age one after another, and soon died. It turned out that they had long been controlled by Dugu Hong’s pills, and in order to maintain their youth, they were looking everywhere for young women and newborn infants for her. The people living near Never-aging City would always mysteriously lose babies and women, and over time, they all moved away.

Three days later, Lin Dan and Bai Yan came to a quiet and peaceful town, and found an inn to stay in. Lin Dan, as usual, took a bath, changed into a black dress, and wandered around the streets. Her facial features were beautiful, and her figure was tall, holding the baby in one hand, and holding a big blade in the other, she was naturally very eye-catching, and there was also a face of a beautiful Bai Yan following behind, making people look more and more at her.

When passing a shop, a woman standing behind the counter stared closely at the baby in her arms, a glimmer of tears flashing in her eyes, and her face even showed a look of sadness, causing Lin Dan to turn her head to look at her. She seemed to be frightened, and quickly covered her face with her sleeves, pretending to be fiddling with the abacus.

Lin Dan continued to walk forward, as if not caring, but that night she sneaked into this shop, and stood on the roof, listening to the conversation between the woman and her husband.

“If our child hadn’t been stolen, he should be five years old now, right?” The woman lamented.

“It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have moved to live near Never-aging City. The doctor said I injured my foundation, and I can’t have children in this life. Cuie, how about I write a divorce letter, and you remarry as soon as possible, maybe you can have your own flesh and bl00d in this life. I’ll leave this shop to you, and all the money in the house will be left to you, it’s all because of me that I harmed you.” The husband’s tone was choked with sobs.

The woman said angrily: “My dear, what nonsense are you talking about! If it weren’t for me, how could you become the way you are now! Don’t say it anymore, let’s live a good life, and don’t mention children in the future! As long as we do good deeds and accumulate virtue this lifetime, we can still be husband and wife in the next life, and we can still have descendants to enjoy the knees, so don’t overthink it.”

The husband didn’t speak for a long time, and after a long time, he cried in a suppressed manner. After a moment, the woman’s cries also vaguely came from afar, filled with sadness.

Lin Dan stood on the roof for a while, then flew away, and Bai Yan, who was hidden in the dark, slowly walked out, and looked at her back without blinking, his expression was very complex.

Lin Dan stayed in the town for seven or eight days, and gradually figured out the details of the couple. They had moved here five years ago, and were usually doing good deeds, and they were upright people, and they had quite a bit of money at home, but they were willing to do good deeds, and they were willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who had difficulties, and soon they gained the recognition of the locals, and were also considered to be high-ranking gentry. It was just a pity that the two of them were nearly forty years old and had no children, and were very lonely.

Lin Dan inquired about the news while secretly observing, and determined that the couple were indeed kind, and then took the opportunity to place the small baby at the door of the shop at night, and then flicked a stone, and smashed the couple’s window. Because the two of them had been persecuted before, they were extra vigilant, and immediately ran out with sticks, but they saw a small bamboo basket placed on the steps at the door of their house, with a jade-like lovely baby lying inside, not crying or making a fuss, but blinking a pair of lively big eyes, looking at them.

“Wife, wife, come and see what this is!” The man’s voice was trembling.

The woman stared with her eyes, and pushed the man away, and shakily went to hold the baby, carefully examining him, and confirming that there were no external injuries or defects, her heart couldn’t help but relax, and she also saw a note at the bottom of the basket, which was written in a flying and elegant script—the child has no father or mother, please take care of him, thank you.

The woman looked around, and her surprised and uncertain expression was long replaced by joy, and she immediately hugged the small baby and knelt down, and choked: “Thank you, Kind benefactor, thank you Kind benefactor, we will definitely take good care of this child! Thank you, really thank you!” A thousand and ten thousand thanks, could not express her excitement.

Her husband had also regained his senses, and with a thud, knelt down, and knocked several times with force, and a tear fell on the steps.

Saying that they wouldn’t mention children, but they dreamed of having a child, and they had also thought that if one day they were walking on the road, they would accidentally pick up a baby, how happy that would be! Now that their dream had come true, after the excitement, the two of them couldn’t help but cry, and seeing the small baby frowned, and seemed to be frightened, they quickly wiped away their tears, and hurriedly ran back to the house to cook rice porridge for him. They would definitely take good care of this child, and treat him as their own.

At the same time, Lin Dan had left the town and gone a thousand miles away. Bai Yan followed all the way, his gaze on her became more and more focused, and also more and more profound. The two entered a prosperous city, and went to an inn, and asked for two upper rooms. When paying the room fee, Lin Dan touched her purse, and her expression froze instantly.

“The total is four silver coins, thank you, guest.” The innkeeper smiled and spread out his palm.

Lin Dan stared at him straight, her face was tense.

The two looked at each other, and remained deadlocked.

Bai Yan put his fist to his lips, and chuckled: “What’s wrong, not enough silver?” He had also seen for the first time a Half-step Grandmaster who was so poor that he couldn’t even pay for the room.

Lin Dan glanced at him, and then walked out of the inn without saying a word. Without money, sleeping on a tree was also possible.

Bai Yan quickly grabbed her, and chuckled: “Don’t go, I’ll pay the room fee for you first, and you can pay me back later when you have money.”

As they spoke, a commotion arose from the inn, and someone spoke loudly, saying, “That Half-step Grandmaster from the Eastern Saint Cult is truly extraordinary, not only severely injuring the four elders of Lianyung City, but also killing Dugu Hong with one slash. You probably don’t know, that Dugu Hong is a villain ranked at the top of the martial world’s wanted list. Her head alone could fetch 50,000 taels of gold. Many wealthy clans and great families had their children stolen by her, and they hated her to the core, only it was unfortunate that she was covered in poison, and difficult to deal with. Moreover, she was a top-notch expert, a Half-step Grandmaster, so ten years passed, and no one could catch her.”

“My goodness, 50,000 taels of gold, that’s so much? If the head were given to me, wouldn’t I be rich?” Someone exclaimed nearby.

“You vulgar person, why do you always think about money? That Half-step Grandmaster killed people and left, and didn’t even care about the head. It was the Holy Maiden of the Eastern Saint Cult who took the head to the Martial World Alliance, to clear the case and remove her from the list, and didn’t ask for a single penny. Speaking of which, that Half-step Grandmaster from the Eastern Saint Cult had just advanced, right? Yet she managed to severely injure the four elders, and also killed Dugu Hong. You know, those two are both old-timers with profound cultivation!”

“Amazing, amazing, the younger generation is formidable!” The people around kept praising, but Lin Dan furrowed her brows and looked at Bai Yan, accusingly saying, “You didn’t tell me that the person’s head was worth a lot.”

Bai Yan wanted to laugh but held it back, and ingratiated himself, saying, “I’ll be sure to remind you next time. The recent expenses will all be on me.”
