Forsaken Immortals Chapter 300: The Gentle Fairy

Chapter 300: The Gentle Fairy

"This place has protected me against the people who wanted to kill me time and time again. When I fled my mother's home, she sent people to kill me, but I am small and good at hiding.

"Even so, they still managed to track me down, and I fled headlessly into this area, where everything seemed peaceful and quiet.

"At first, I was certain that these people would find me and ensure that I would never return, but no one ever located me. Those who did manage to enter also vanished without a trace.

"I never knew much about this area from the start, but slowly, as more and more people came to find me, I overheard their words. Even if the legends and myths of this area are false, I still feel grateful for this unknown fairy that saved my life."

Bai Rouyun looked at the cute child that seemed much more mature than others of her age. Even if she was of mixed races, she was still merely a young child, and having been forced to mature like this was making the older woman's heart ache.

"Do you know where this fairy is resting, or do you have anywhere you feel more at ease? Let us go there to pay our respect."

Jiaojiao nodded her head, but quickly shook it again.

"I do not know the actual location of the fairy's soul, but I have a place where I feel much more at ease than others. This location looks the exact same as everywhere else, but I feel a special peace when I am there."

Bai Rouyun smiled gently and rubbed the little dragon girl's head as she encouraged her to believe in herself, "our purpose is to show our grat.i.tude for the care this place has shown you. It is most suitable for us to go to your favorite place, so you can tell us which way we should go."

Jiaojiao nodded her head happily, as she lifted her small arm and pointed towards the east. "The entire place is, visually, the same, so we have to follow a special kind of feeling to find the place where I want to go."

Bai Rouyun nodded her head and began to walk in the direction that Jiaojiao had pointed out. She showed no signs of doubts with the decision the smaller girl made, and this clear show of trust made Jiaojiao's heart full of a strange feeling of warmth she had never experienced before.

Bai Rouyun kept holding Jiaojiao in her arms, while Xiao Hua was towering proudly on top of Xiao Mao's head. The Cloud Leopard was beautiful as it slowly strode forward in the tall gra.s.s, and the sunshine shone on the lush fur, but the Golden Emperor Vine that was placed on top of it's head made the n.o.ble air stagnate and turn amusing instead.

Even so, Bai Rouyun could not help but smile happily as she looked at the happy beast and plant, as they eagerly observed their surroundings.

Xiao Hua had never experienced much in the lower realm. Although she had traveled from time to time, she had never experienced living her life among many others, and her curiosity was neverending.

Even Xiao Mao, who had tried to enlighten her throughout the years, knew that the silly plant spirit was far from knowing enough about the outside world.

The sunlight was shining down, and the light breeze made the leaves of gra.s.s flutter gently as they stepped forward. The entire surroundings truly lived up to its reputation as a tranquil and peaceful area.

At first, Bai Rouyun had expected that the area Jiaojiao mentioned was special to her due to certain psychological reasons, but the closer they came to this specific place, the more she realized that this was not the case.

Although everything was visually the same as the rest of the area, she could feel her heartbeat slow down, and her body enter a strange state where it felt comfortable and pleasant. It was not an unpleasant feeling, but instead felt as if she was being embraced by a warm arm.

The feelings she could perceive were not the same as when Li Moyun had held her in his arms, but they were still full of adoration, affection, and love, the love a mother had towards her own daughter.

"Do you feel it?" Bai Rouyun looked at Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao when asking the question. She had long since noticed that Jiaojiao could sense this strange comfort, as the little dragon girl in her arms had relaxed completely and seemed to be half-asleep.

The Cloud Leopard and the Golden Emperor Vine both nodded to indicate that they, too, sensed this strange feeling of comfort.

"Strange."

Bai Rouyun was confused as to where the origin of this emotion was, but after remembering the story that Jiaojiao had told her, she guessed that it might not be purely a legend.

If an immortal fairy was truly resting here, then many things would make sense. The ability to get rid of the evil-minded cultivators, but also show love to those with a peaceful heart would be what one could expect from such a deity.

Bai Rouyun was aware that it was not a question about good or evil, but about the intentions when entering this resting place. If anyone came here with ulterior motives, then the subconscious soul of the fairy would protect her resting place, but if they came with the intention of simply seeking shelter, then they would be met with kindness.

Such strong abilities, while still being in hibernation, showed that these deities were much stronger than she could have ever imagined.
