Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 948: Moonchaser True Person

The Moonchaser True Person, Bai Ri, was the founder of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, active during the late Great Yu to early Great Xia eras. Legend held that she was elegant and graceful like an immortal fairy, with a beauty that surpassed that of mortals, captivating countless heroes of her time.

Lu Yang pulled his attention back from his memories. From the mental space, he stared at the little girl named “Bai Ri.” She appeared around ten years old, only slightly taller than his shrunken form.

She’s cute indeed, but isn’t the gap between her and adjectives like “elegant and graceful” rather vast?

“Aren’t you the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor? How did you become the Moonchaser True Person?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy asked, perplexed. She had sensed earlier that Bai Ye was more than just the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor, and she now confirmed there was indeed something amiss.

Bai Ye was taken aback. “How do you know about the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor?” She was certain she had never told anyone about this.

“First, tell me about this body of yours.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy wasn’t so foolish as to answer every question thrown at her. This is called information exchange.

“If you can catch me, I’ll tell you.” Bai Ri’s mouth curved into a smirk. This kid called Lu Yang is truly interesting. No wonder Bai Ye sought him out every night to hear his stories.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Ri vanished into the vast expanse of snow, leaving no trace. Gazing around, one could only see the endless stretches of moon laurel trees.

Bai Ri’s cultivation was so high that even if Lu Yang was no longer a child and had regained his original strength, he would never be able to so much as touch the hem of her garment.

Unfortunately for her, the current Lu Yang was not Lu Yang.

“How dare you try to run right under my nose!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s fighting spirit ignited. Through my brilliant deductions, the true culprit has revealed herself. All that remains is the capture.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy swung her little arms and gave chase, her gaze resolute, her goal clear.

Huff, huff. Huff, huff.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s breathing followed a rhythm, as if imbued with some mystical power, piquing Lu Yang’s curiosity.

Legend had it that in the most ancient of eras, the earliest Qi Training cultivators were called Qi Refiners. The cultivation method they mastered was known as the Breathing Technique. By breathing in specific patterns, they could create all sorts of unimaginable wonders.

Lu Yang carefully sensed his physical state and was astonished to discover that after employing the Breathing Technique, he could prevent the cold wind from rushing into his mouth and nose.

What an impressive Breathing Technique!

“He won’t find me here, right?” Bai Ri had fled to a corner of the immortal palace. The place itself was already sparsely populated, and this particular corner hadn’t had anyone passing by in decades. It’s absolutely safe.

Bai Ri found dealing with Lu Yang somewhat intractable. There was no deep-seated enmity between them, so she didn’t have a reason to strike with lethal force. Since she couldn’t bring herself to deliver any fatal blows, her only option was to flee.

“How exactly did he find me just now?

“That’s right. When I hid near the Tree Ancestor earlier, he noticed my connection to the Tree Ancestor and went there to try his luck.

“Troublesome kid. No wonder he has experienced so much at such a young age.”

~~~

Six hours later, a familiar voice sounded.

“Found you! Don’t run!”

There stood the Everlasting Immortal Fairy on skis crafted from moon laurel wood, a basket of spirit fruits strapped to her back. Whenever she was tired from skiing, she would take a couple of bites to replenish her stamina.

From the moon laurel grove to this corner of the immortal palace, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had skied for six hours! Without the skis, it would have taken even longer!

Having schemed throughout the ages, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was even aware that the shortest distance between two points was a straight line. To take the shortest route to find Bai Ri, she skied all the way, overcoming obstacles along the path, passing through the pill concoction chamber, the artifact refinement chamber, the hot springs, and other locations.

Her skiing movements were graceful and practiced, clearly those of an old hand.

Along the way, she encountered numerous witnesses, but the immortal palace disciples simply assumed “Lu Yang” was skiing for fun, unaware that he was actually pursuing a criminal.

“Wait, Immortal Fairy, when did you learn to ski?”

“Hmph, didn’t expect that, did you? Back in the ancient era, I foresaw this day and practiced skiing techniques in advance with a mortal body,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy declared without any shame.

“How do you keep finding me?!” Bai Ri looked as though she had seen a ghost. Do I have some scent that allows Lu Yang to sniff out my location? Or did listening to his stories somehow get me marked by him?

Bai Ri was about to flee again when suddenly, her legs gave way, and she couldn’t muster a single ounce of strength.

Crap, it’s night. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

“Yawn... Why am I here today?” “Bai Ri” sat on the ground with a blank expression, looking around in confusion. Isn’t this a corner of the immortal palace? There’s nothing fun here.

Then she spotted the Everlasting Immortal Fairy skiing toward her.

“Senior Brother Lu Yang!” “Bai Ri” waved excitedly at the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy executed a beautiful turn, skidding to a halt before “Bai Ri” and sending up a spray of snow as tall as a person.

“Now you’re Bai Ye, right?”

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, you already know everything?” Bai Ye’s mouth opened in shock.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy smiled. Having witnessed firsthand the transformation of “Bai Ri” to “Bai Ye,” she finally made sense of what was going on.

“Two souls in one body, switching dominance at the transition between yin and yang. Am I correct?”

“Senior Brother Lu Yang, you know so much.” Bai Ye grew increasingly surprised, feeling that Lu Yang knew more than she did.

“Of course! Look who this...this person you’re talking to is!”

“Little Ye, wait a moment. Let me talk to Lu Yang for a bit.” Bai Ri temporarily took control of the body.

Bai Ri sighed. Now that things have come to this, there’s no longer any point in hiding. I might as well tell Lu Yang everything, lest this kid keep pursuing me.

“I don’t know what’s up with you, kid; you even know something like two souls in one body.

“You guessed correctly. I am me, and Little Ye is Little Ye. However, the two of us share this body. I use it during the day, and she uses it at night.

“Little Ye’s original form is the Moon Laurel Tree Ancestor. Rooted in the Great Snow Mountain, she cannot leave her territory. Thus, she has always yearned for life in the outside world.

“She often eavesdrops on immortal palace disciples recounting their external missions. Ever since she saw your story in Lan Ting’s mission reports, she longed to meet you in person.

“When Saga of the Dao-Seeking Sect spread to the immortal palace, Little Ye’s desire to meet you grew even stronger.

“Coincidentally, you came. She sought you out every night to listen to stories, and naturally, I listened along as well.

“Truth be told, I somewhat wish you hadn’t come to the immortal palace. Before Little Ye heard of you, she always listened to my stories—tales of how Jiang Ping’an, Meng Junzi, and the rest of us fought our way across the land and established Great Xia.

“After you appeared, Little Ye’s attention shifted entirely to you.”

Bai Ri sighed again, looking at Lu Yang with an indescribably strange expression. “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, I must say that your experiences over the past few years are far more absurd than mine.”
