Chapter 83: So that’s how it is
They slept until late at night before Jiang Huai groggily opened his eyes.
Bai Li was holding him tightly in her arms, her body curled up. In a way, this was a particularly strong display of insecurity.
Although they had known each other for over two years, Jiang Huai didn’t know much about Bai Li’s past. He only knew that Bai Li was a demon from the Western Region, but why she came to the Eastern Region? It seemed that Bai Li had mentioned in passing that she was fleeing from a marriage.
Her clan’s chief wanted to marry her off to the dragon clan and have a few children with dragon bloodline after receiving the dragon clan’s favor, and Bai Li felt too stifled, so she set a big fire in the snake clan and ran away in the chaos, ending up in the relatively safe Eastern Region.
(TLN: Dragon here means long chinese dragon.)
Bai Li’s talent for cultivation was not low. She was only a year older than Jiang Huai but had already reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul middle stage. The demon clans of the Western Region did not have a quality division for Core Formation, it was mostly about bloodline. She seemed to have a trace of the ancestral serpent bloodline, which was why she was chosen to marry into the dragon clan. After all, ordinary Serpent Clan members couldn’t even withstand the explosive power of the dragon bloodline to bear offspring.
She also used a sword, and the two often sparred with each other. Her talent in the Way of the Sword was slightly inferior to Jiang Huai’s. In the realm of swordsmanship, Jiang Huai had not yet encountered a more terrifying genius.
Bai Li was carefree and unceremonious in her daily life, enjoying teasing him. Because they had no fixed abode in the secret realms, Jiang Huai liked to find a cave with a big blanket, and the two often slept together. Bai Li used to like to revert to her true form while he was asleep, and when Jiang Huai woke up to find a big white snake in his arms, he would be spooked all morning.
Until one time, Jiang Huai, in a fit of anger, caught Bai Li in his arms and spanked her bottom hard until she was tearful, and she finally gave in and said she wouldn’t dare again. But Jiang Huai always felt her words weren’t the least bit credible.
Fortunately, Bai Li didn’t tease him this time.
The girl’s eyelashes trembled gently with her breath, and Jiang Huai looked at the girl in his arms seriously. If you ignored the fact that she was from the serpent clan, the girl she transformed into was indeed lovely. The demon clans of the Western Region were created by the Demon Ancestor ten thousand years ago. The Demon Ancestor realized that it was nearly impossible for demons to prove the ten realms under the Heavenly Dao. So, with the power of the nine realm perfected, he promulgated rules and decrees, allowing all demon clans to transform into human forms after cultivation, practicing as half-demons, which was much smoother than the pure demon path.
