Forsaken Immortals Chapter 119 - I Found Her!

Chapter 119 - I Found Her!

Bai Rouyun slowly wandered the meadow. She looked around her surroundings, trying to find traces of the Fire Horses. The lush gra.s.s beneath her feet was soft, and the fresh air tickled her nose.

She had spent the majority of her past life outside on the roads. Although she had been resurrected in another body, her personality had not changed.

She enjoyed the feeling of being outside. After her resurrection, and after meeting Li Moyun, she had been staying inside most of the time, and while it was new and exciting, it was also making her feel strangely stuffy.

She wanted to be free like a bird. She wanted to be able to just spread her wings and travel from place to place, looking at everything, and finally finding somewhere to settle down.

She did not know what she wanted from life. Initially, in her past life, she had wanted to be loved. She had been abandoned by her parents, abandoned by her master, and eventually hunted down and killed. She had never experienced the feeling of having someone loving and caring for her.

This was also why her heart was so soft whenever Li Moyun came close to her. She could sense that he genuinely wished to pamper her. While she knew that this urge only came about because she was his wife, she was extremely grateful to him, and had no intention of ending their marriage. He had given her a sense of belonging.

He had met her when she was at her lowest, but instead of leaving her, a complete stranger, alone, he had taken care of her and gave her a home.

He had made her feel warm for the first time, and she was extremely grateful. To repay the kindness he had shown her, she had given him the formulas, but she knew that these were not enough to show her heart.

She wanted to give Li Moyun her heart, but she was apprehensive. She was aware that he might not return her emotions, and she was scared of getting rejected.

This was what made it impossible for her to move forward. The two clashing feelings were continually waging war in her heart, and she did not know which one would win.

As such, she sighed, her mind returned to the task at hand, and she resumed her search for Fire Horse hoofprints on the ground.

She soon found traces of the Fire Horses, and after walking for some time, the horse herd appeared in front of her.

She could not help but grit her teeth. She needed three Fire Horses, but in front of her were a full eleven horses, and while she had high expectations of her own skills, she was not so arrogant as to think that she could handle all eleven Fire Horses.

The Fire Horses were not gentle beasts. Currently, they had not noticed her because she stood against the wind and was utterly silent, but the moment they recognized her, she would be in a tight spot.

Frowning, she glanced at the horses, not sure of what to do.

"Little girl, do you need help?" a somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind Bai Rouyun, and when she turned around, she saw that the teacher of cla.s.s twenty was standing behind her with his arms wrapped over his chest, looking at her with great interest.

The look in his eyes made Bai Rouyun feel uncomfortable. She did not know why, but it was as if he was looking at a treasure, the greed in his eyes was unmistakable.

"Teacher," she greeted him with alienation in her voice, but the man did not seem to notice her discomfort as he began pacing around her, observing every single inch of her being.

"Your name is Bai Rouyun?" he asked, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head. She could not hide her ident.i.ty, after all.

"You used to be a mute, dumb, and deaf woman?" he continued to ask, and Bai Rouyun hesitatingly nodded her head again.

Everything he asked was easy to figure out with a bit of digging, but she was not willing to tell him about herself for some reason.

The man narrowed his eyes when he sensed Bai Rouyun's attempt at distancing the two of them. He could feel that she was genuinely unwilling to spend time with him.

His excitement died a little, but after considering the circ.u.mstances, he relaxed. Everyone would be extremely uncomfortable if someone like himself appeared next to them, and was acting so excited as he was.

But he could hardly contain his excitement. This woman was definitely one of the reasons that he had come here.

He had been fooled a few times in the past, but everything seemed to be correct this time. He could not help but feel that he had found her now.

"These small horses are your targets?" he asked, trying to change the subject, and while Bai Rouyun knew that she could not handle them all on her own, she was also unwilling to accept the help from this figure.

Sensing her entangled emotions, his mood became slightly perplexed. Why was she as stubborn as he had been told?

Bai Rouyun was unaware that this man seemed to know her. He was an eccentric and weird fellow, so she had expected him to follow her, out of interest due to her decision to move alone in the forest.

The man looked at Bai Rouyun, glanced at the fire horses, raised his hand, and killed six of them with a single wave. The Qi he commanded was silver, a color that Bai Rouyun had never seen before, and the color made her frown.

The man noticed her frown, but he said nothing, and just smiled slightly.

The remaining Fire Horses had by now noticed Bai Rouyun and the man. They could have run away in fear, but instead, they charged straight at them in an attempt to avenge their comrades.
