"You can't do anything about it... Do you remember the forbidden technique in the Bai Ze Clan?"
"Are you talking about the one that Uncle Bai Ze's mother, Consort Bai Ling, practiced?"
"Exactly. Consort Bai Ling was exceptionally talented, one of the best in the entire Bai Ze Clan. Therefore, she secretly stole that forbidden technique from the Bai Ze Sacred Altar, hoping to master it! However, that technique involves the laws of time and space, which are incredibly profound and dangerous. A moment of distraction could separate one's soul across countless timelines, leading to a fate of complete annihilation."
"The Empress suffered a soul injury due to a small mistake, putting her life in jeopardy. It was only after Lord Bai Xu traveled thousands of miles to Buzhou Mountain and defeated the ferocious Ancient Basilisk, Bamon, that he retrieved the Soulgrass."
"At that time, Consort Bai Ling had already lost her power due to her actions being exposed. She only escaped death because of her status as an Empress and her merit in giving birth to a prince. But no one was willing to help her as she faced imminent death. Lord Bai Xu was still young then; defeating Bamon was nothing short of a miracle! After returning, he not only healed Consort Bai Ling but also cleverly used the remaining Soulgrass to build connections with the powerful and quickly regained his influence. With his later display of exceptional cultivation talent, Lord Bai Xu became the sole ruler within a thousand miles!"
At this point, Bai Feng's eyes were filled with admiration, clearly holding Lord Bai Xu in high esteem.
"Hey... Brother, aren't you leaving out some details? Uncle Bai Xu said that he was able to defeat Bamon with help from a human brother! He even refers to that human as his big brother! However, Uncle Bai Xu never mentions his big brother's name or background..."
Bai Fong seemed somewhat dissatisfied; in her eyes, both Bai Xu and his big brother were extraordinary heroes. In fact, she admired that mysterious human even more!
"Bai Fong! How many times have I told you? Lord Bai Xu just fabricated a big brother from nowhere to have a reasonable excuse to protect our kind! Don't form preconceived notions; spreading such ideas will only make our people think Lord Bai Xu's protection is something we deserve! Do you really believe that with Lord Bai Xu's talent, status, and strength, there could be a human big brother who emerged from some corner of the world who is even inferior to him?!"
Seeing his sister's "unreasonable" attitude, Bai Feng frowned and scolded her.
Bai Fong, who had been reprimanded, felt wronged and rolled her eyes in defiance.
Unlike ordinary human tribes that had long been under Lord Bai Xu's protection, the siblings were children saved during one of Lord Bai Xu's territorial conquests. Their entire tribe had been destroyed by a one-eyed demon wolf, and when Lord Bai Xu arrived and effortlessly defeated it, only the two young siblings remained at the scene.
They were then taken back to Lord Bai Xu's territory as his personal attendants; even their names—Bai Feng and Bai Fong—were given by him. Because of this incident, it was said that there were quite a few complaints within the Bai Ze Clan. Protecting weak humans was one thing; they considered it merely a personal hobby of this exceptionally gifted prince. However, granting "Bai" as their surname to two humans truly infuriated some conservative old-timers.
Imagine two insignificant beings being worthy of their great clan's surname "Bai"?
Nevertheless, due to Lord Bai Xu's power, these dissenting voices were ultimately silenced.
This is also why Bai Feng held an almost fanatical admiration for Lord Bai Xu. This admiration wasn't unique; many human tribes under Lord Bai Xu's protection regarded him as a deity and would face severe punishment for any disrespect!
As for the claim that "Lord Bai Xu has a human brother," most people viewed it merely as an excuse for Lord Bai Xu's protection of humans and did not take it seriously...
