MYTH BEYOND HEAVEN

Chapter 2697: Peril (1)

Suddenly, a majestic white tiger appeared before Yun Lintian’s group, its eyes fixed on the cub in Yun Lintian’s arms. Its fur shimmered with an ethereal light, its eyes burned with a fierce intensity. It was clear that this was no ordinary beast; it was a powerful, ancient being.

Yun Lintian’s eyes widened in surprise. He had seen the White Tiger before, Bai Xiaoyun, Linlin’s mother, but this White Tiger was different. It emanated a power far greater than he had witnessed before. He also noticed that the White Tiger was suffering from severe injuries, its fur matted with blood, its movements slightly strained.

The White Tiger’s gaze shifted from the cub to Linlin, its eyes widening in surprise. It could sense the purity of Linlin’s bloodline, a royal lineage that resonated with its own. It was as if a long-lost kin had returned.

“Who are you?” The White Tiger asked in doubt. “Why did you rescue my daughter?”

Yun Lintian stepped forward, his expression calm and respectful. “My name is Yun Lintian,” he said, his voice clear and steady. “And I am here to help you and your daughter.”

He paused, his eyes gleaming with a faint golden light. “I also possess the White Tiger God bloodline.”

The White Tiger’s eyes widened in surprise. She could sense the power within Yun Lintian, the purity of his bloodline. It was even purer than her own, a fact that was almost impossible for a human to possess.

“Impossible…” she murmured, her voice filled with disbelief. “How can a human possess such a pure bloodline?”

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “That is a long story,” he said. “But know that I am here to help, not to harm.”

The White Tiger cub, sensing her mother’s presence, began to toss and turn in Yun Lintian’s arms, letting out soft chirps. Yun Lintian gently handed the cub to the White Tiger, returning her to her mother.

The White Tiger nuzzled the cub, her eyes filled with a mother’s love. 

“Thank you,” she said, her voice filled with gratitude. “You have returned my daughter to me.”

She then looked at Linlin. “And you, little one. Your bloodline is pure, like the royal clan. I have never seen such purity in a young White Tiger.”

Linlin smiled. “I’m Yun Lin, Aunty. You can call me Linlin.”

The White Tiger nodded, her eyes filled with trust. “I am Bai Ying. I am grateful for your help.”

With a soft glow, Bai Ying transformed into her human form. She was a woman of striking beauty, her features elegant, her eyes filled with a quiet strength. Her white hair cascaded down her back, and she wore a simple white robe.

“Can I ask you a question, Senior?” Yun Lintian spoke up.

“Please do ask,” Bai Ying nodded gently.

“How did you end up serving the Bai Clan?” Yun Lintian asked curiously. 

He had never heard or seen any mythical beast serving mortals wholeheartedly like this before. Of course, Linlin was different. She was entrusted to him.

Bai Ying’s eyes softened, a hint of melancholy entering her gaze. “It is a long story… After leaving the White Tiger God Clan, I wandered the God Realm, seeking my own path.”

She paused, her gaze drifting towards the sleeping cub in her arms. “Along my journey, I encountered the old mistress of the Bai Clan. She was a kind and compassionate soul, a rare gem in a world filled with ambition and greed.”

“At that time, I was being pursued by a powerful enemy, a force that sought to exploit my bloodline for their own nefarious purposes. The old mistress, despite knowing the risks, offered me sanctuary. She shielded me from my pursuers, providing me with a safe haven.”

Bai Ying’s voice grew heavy with emotion. “In the end, she sacrificed herself, giving me the chance to escape. She faced my enemies alone, buying me precious time. Her sacrifice was the ultimate act of kindness, a debt I could never repay.”

She looked at Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with a deep sorrow. “I vowed to protect her descendants, to repay the gratitude she had shown me. I swore to safeguard the Bai Clan, to ensure their prosperity and safety. But I failed.”

Her voice trembled slightly. “I was unable to prevent the tragedy that befell them. I was too weak to intervene. My failure weighs heavily on my heart.”

“That is why I feel so grateful for you two. You have saved my daughter and avenged the Bai Clan. I can finally repay the debt I owed to the old mistress.”

Yun Lintian nodded, his expression understanding. “You have done what you could, Senior,” he said. “Do not blame yourself. What matters now is that we protect Bai Xi and ensure that the enemies of the Bai Clan are brought to justice.”

Linlin nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with determination. “We will help you, Aunty. We will find those who wronged the Bai Clan, and we will make them pay.”

Bai Ying’s eyes softened, a hint of hope flickering within them. “Thank you.”

Yun Lintian stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Bai Ying’s injuries. “Senior, allow me to treat your wounds.”

He extended his hand, and thick, verdant vines emerged from his arm, their leaves shimmering with a vibrant green light. The vines gently wrapped around Bai Ying’s body, their touch soothing and revitalizing.

The power of the Tree of Life flowed into Bai Ying, its pure, life-giving energy coursing through her veins. Her wounds began to heal at an astonishing rate, the torn flesh knitting back together, the broken bones mending themselves.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened in shock. The wood energy emanating from Yun Lintian was unlike anything she had ever experienced. It was pure, potent, and filled with an ancient vitality that surpassed even the most revered healers of the White Tiger God Clan.

“This… this is incredible,” she murmured, her voice filled with awe. “I have never felt such pure wood energy before.”

Within moments, Bai Ying’s injuries were completely healed, her body restored to its full strength. She looked at Yun Lintian, her eyes filled with gratitude.

“Thank you, Yun Lintian,” she said, her voice sincere. “Your power is truly remarkable.”

Linlin, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, hopped onto Bai Ying’s shoulder. 

“Aunty, tell me about the White Tiger God Clan,” she said, her voice filled with excitement. “I want to visit it someday.”

Bai Ying’s expression turned serious, her gaze shifting towards Linlin. “It is not safe for you to visit the White Tiger God Clan.”
