Chapter 22 - 19: One Righteous, One Evil, Two IdentitiesAn Xiaowan was a new international student at Mo City University. Although her time there was short, her adorable and playful beauty, curvaceous figure, and gentle and kind temperament had already attracted a large number of foreign fans. Especially after the news spread that she was voted the cutest girl of the year by netizens across Hua Xia, the men pursuing An Xiaowan could nearly form several circles around the vast Mo City! Excellent qualities, good upbringing, a strong background, a gentle temperament, stunning beauty, a figure to drool over... With all these labels in one, she and Bai Yan should have been people from two different worlds. But unexpectedly, what should have been a divide between a fairy and a mortal, two people who should never have been able to intersect in a lifetime, ended up entangled because of a past affair of the Bai Family. However, Bai Yan knew nothing about his deceased parents or anything about them; all he knew was that this beautiful girl, sought after by many, was terrible at her studies. He did not know that this beautiful and adorable girl was sought after because she had once admired him and had traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land. It was also the day Bai Yan broke up with Jin Xuanxuan that he first agreed to tutor An Xiaowan. On the first night Bai Yan tutored An Xiaowan, he happened to miss the last bus and had no choice but to stay overnight at An Xiaowan's villa, where she comforted him attentively due to his breakup that day. After a few glasses of red wine, the two, who couldn't handle their liquor, ended up rolling together in a confused state. What was most frustrating was that An Xiaowan, fearing her sister An Yan would find out about this, left the room early in the morning and asked the housekeeper to clean any traces of the room. A night of passion, like a fleeting dream. Nobody knew about this. Bai Yan did not know about this; he thought he had just been drunk, and the next day he even made a formal apology to An Xiaowan. An Yan also did not know, and neither did the elder members of the An Family. Only An Xiaowan herself knew about this. But her sister was Bai Yan's betrothed fiancée in an arranged engagement; that was already a done deal! Yet why couldn't she help but indulge in her admiration, her fondness for him, that the two of them just... "Sigh..." An Xiaowan sighed in sorrow, and though it was deep into the night, she felt no hint of sleepiness. The body she had preserved for eighteen years had just been given away to him in vain! Thinking about this, An Xiaowan couldn't help but cover her pretty face, her slender neck flushing with an enticing red. If Bai Yan really marries her sister, how is she going to face Bai Yan in the future? Is it unwillingness? Helplessness? Or indifference? Pretend he is a stranger? An Xiaowan could do none of these; whenever she thought about this issue, her heart became a mess. Was she really supposed to act as if nothing ever happened? Doesn't this heartless man know that she likes him? That's right... He doesn't know about those incidents, the car accident years ago; he was there too. The doctor said he had amnesia, he had forgotten about her and her sister, and the An Family as well. Loss filled An Xiaowan's beautiful face, and for some reason, there was a tiny selfish thought in her heart! How she wished that it was not her sister but she herself who was engaged to Bai Yan. Even if the outcome cannot change, she yearned to spend more time with this man, even if it's just for a few months, or even just a few days! Sometimes, love is absurd like that, making it impossible to stay rational. "Sister, I'm sorry, I think I love him, although he may not love me..." An Xiaowan muttered, clutching the hem of her dress tightly, curling up on the sofa. An Xiaowan's beautiful eyes were fixedly staring at the photo on the materials next to her, Bai Yan's sunny smiling face reflected deep within her misty, rippling eyes, leaving a deep impression. In the days to come, how should I face this nemesis? An Xiaowan's heart was completely in turmoil at this moment. ... Cultivation time always passes quickly without notice, and in the blink of an eye, daylight had broken. Fortunately, since Bai Yan was raised by his father to follow a military schedule, he was unusually sensitive to the passage of time, waking up just before six o'clock in the morning, right as dawn was beginning to break through, coming back to his senses from the state of cultivation. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Swish!" Bai Yan opened his eyes, his dark pupils brilliant like the stars, shining brightly and captivatingly in the pitch-black laboratory. As Bai Yan ceased his mental method of cultivation, his breathing returned to normal, two streams of white, ribbon-like breath exhaled from his nostrils, sharp as swords piercing the air, before slowly fading away. Bai Yan could clearly feel that the cultivation of the Martial Arts Nine Realms Secret Method was indeed effective! He had less than five hours of cultivation time last night, but during the cultivation, he could distinctly feel something like a scorching flame miraculously arising within him, traveling through his meridians and bones. Although the flame burned vigorously, it did not harm his body; Bai Yan only felt a warm sensation spreading out, as his entire body was being slowly transformed. It was a pity that with the coming of daylight and Bai Yan's awakening, the flame within his body gradually came to a rest. Could that flame possibly be the Gang Qi mentioned in ancient books? Unfortunately, he was probably not even at the Wisdom Realm and had not yet grasped the Gang Qi. "Sigh." Bai Yan shook his head with a wry smile, having been psychologically prepared for this. He was a mere mortal, not some naturally born martial talent with a heaven-defying constitution written in novels; how could he possibly grasp Gang Qi overnight? That he had received the ancient cultivation technique was already an enormous fortune! Bai Yan did not expect his human identity to achieve the strength level of a Martial Arts Master overnight! Bai Yan could only hope that this ancient book would gradually improve the strength of his human identity. This night of cultivation wasn't entirely without effect; Bai Yan could clearly feel the subtle changes within his body. According to the System's introduction, even with his demon powers blocked, Bai Yan's four physical attributes were mostly between 10 and 11 points, an average increase of 1 to 2 points compared to his previous physical condition. "According to the content here, I should still be at the realm of unblocking meridians... Wisdom Realm, the wisdom of knowing one's body! Meridians are the wisdom of the body!" Bai Yan murmured to himself. Take it slowly. The System said that the Martial Arts Nine Realms Secret Method is a method of high righteous energy, certainly advocating gradual and orderly cultivation, so the initial effects of cultivation naturally wouldn't bring any big surprises. However, on second thought, Bai Yan felt something was odd and uncomfortable. His human identity belonged to the good and lawful camp, and he practiced the Vast Righteous Energy of the Ancient Martial Secret Technique. His demon identity belonged to the evil and chaotic camp, with power derived from the Source of All Evil's talent and bloodline from the demonic Abyss. The two polar opposite identities of good and evil, incompatible as water and fire, were bizarrely merged within one soul and body. It has to be said, the world is full of wonders. "Crackling!" Ten minutes later, Bai Yan leapt up from the ground, the bones in his limbs popping like beans frying, feeling invigorated. Bai Yan felt fantastic! And by this time, the sky had brightened, Bai Yan's eyes flickering with a cold glint which gradually receded. Li Feiwen... Where could you be right now?
