Chapter 371: A Ghost?

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The vast mansion looked rather out of place, nestled between a huge mountain and a silently flowing river. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and verdant tall trees swayed gently in the wind.

A small creek ran through the mansion, with numerous colorful koi fishes swimming merrily within.

It was hard to imagine that such a dreamlike scene would exist in the forsaken lands of the northwest mountains. A group of servants were going about with their daily busy activities.

Wang Yudie stared out of the window, eventually settling her gaze on a small butterfly.

"How I wish that I could be like a butterfly, flying about so freely, with nothing to restrain me."

Wang Yudie's eyes misted slightly.

As humans living in this world, one did not live only for themselves. They also needed to live for their families.

There was no way that everything in the world could move in accordance purely to one's whims and wishes in life. If not for their families and their parents, perhaps most people would not be dreaming of living in a huge house in the city. Perhaps, they might rather choose to lead a simpler and more fulfilling life for themselves.

However, one's parents often acted as a set of spiritual chains in people's hearts. No matter what decision one was making, their first thoughts would always be their families and parents.

Parents worked tirelessly all their lives to bring their children up. As such, they also hoped to see their children grow up to be fine adults with stable careers, and continue the family's legacy.

And as one grew older, many of the things they wanted to do would dissipate like dust. When one was young, they would not have any fear, and would barge through everything and regardless if they were to smash their faces bloody.

But the moment they became parents themselves, they would start to be careful with their actions and decisions. This was only natural.

If one was alone, the ten thousand dollars in their hands would be their capital. Perhaps they might be daring enough to use the entire sum of ten thousand dollars to start a business without any hesitation!

But once a man had a wife and children with him, would that person still dare to throw everything into a business whose success or failure could not be determined?

At this time, most people would no longer dare to do that. This had nothing to do with courage. Rather, it was a newfound sense of responsibility!

Wang Yudie was in the same kind of dilemma right now. She did not like the person at all, but her entire clan had already agreed to the marriage.

Perhaps this had something to do with the betrothal gifts the clan received from the Helan Clan? This relationship would perhaps let the strength of the clan to soar another level!

The party who would benefit the most from this marriage was the Wang Clan and its later generations.

Wang Yuyan's eyes grew puffy and red as she said with exasperation, "Elder Sis, this is too hard on you!"

The two sisters were only 22 years old this year. This was a time when a lady's beauty was at its prime, and also a period when she held the most hope towards love!

However, Wang Yudie's fate had already been determined with a marriage alliance!

Even though the two sisters were daughters of the clan head, they still could not escape from this fate.

The reason for this was that there were already two candidates above them to be successors of the clan. Apart from them, the girls still had two elder brothers.

"I guess so... but although I already knew that this day would come long ago, I hadn't expected that it would be so quick. And I didn't think that when the day came, that I would be so sad and lost, even though I thought that I had already prepared myself for it."

Wang Yudie's tone was calm, like the gently fluttering wings of a butterfly.

Bei Feng's group had finally landed at the county after some time. This place was still several dozen kilometers away from the Wang Clan. Right now, there was still three days until the event at the Wang Clan.

Bei Feng did not intend to go over so early anyway. Leaving the pilots behind, he proceeded into the Helan Mountain range with the other two.

As they traversed through the land, Bei Feng witnessed the vastness of the northwest region for himself. The land was huge, and humans were rarely seen. Along the way, they only saw a few small villages.

Bei Feng looked at the group of handsome horses galloping across the plains, heading deeper into the mountain range.

Compared to the southern mountains, the Helan Mountains carried a stronger aura of majesty.

The southern mountains were more graceful and beautiful, and did not seem as desolate.

Most of the Helan Mountains were completely bare as though there weren't any life there.

But upon entering the mountain range, one would discover that this was not the case. While plants appeared to be scarce here, the animals which depended on plants for survival were not few.

As they walked, they saw many a beautiful scenery that they had never seen before. They also saw some extreme lands with harsh conditions.

Groups of wild mountain goats trotted gaily alongside the steep mountain face, looking for food. Unless one witnessed such sights for themselves, it would be hard to imagine how these wild goats could possess such surprising agility!

"Yin!"

High up in the sky, a few black dots could be seen circling.

These were mountain eagles, and very little prey could escape their talons!

Mystic One and Mystic Three followed behind Bei Feng. While they did not like these desolated mountains much, they did not say much about it.

Bei Feng walked along with the speed of a normal person. Although his steps were not fast, they were very steady, as though nothing could obstruct them.

The sky slowly turned red as the sun descended and hid behind the mountains. The mountains face which had been scaled by the scorching sun the entire day also began to cool!

Soon, the sky had turned completely black, only leaving the countless blinking stars in the sky. For some reason, the stars seemed brighter when viewed on a mountain...

"You two stay here, I'll go ahead and walk alone," Bei Feng instructed.

"Yes!"

The two of them did not attempt to dissuade Bei Feng. Apart from making fools out of themselves, there would be no other result if they did so.

While even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts did not dare to claim that there was no place on Earth they couldn't reach, there was indeed no place on Earth where they didn't dare to go. Although the sky was pitch-black at the moment, even Mystic One and Mystic Three could see the road before them clearly, much less Bei Feng.

While they did not know why Bei Feng had chosen to come here, they did not bother to ask. It would instead be a disaster if they knew something that they were not supposed to know.

Bei Feng enjoyed the desolate and lonely aura of the land as he walked, slowly feeling his mental state growing calmer and smoother.

From the moment he looked down from above in the helicopter, Bei Feng had already made up his mind to do this.

"For tens of millions of years, the Helan Mountains had stood here silently by themselves. Everyone knows of their loneliness, but what of mine?"

Bei Feng allowed the wind to blow through his hair. He had never felt a night as lonely and as dark as this!

It was like the darkness had morphed into a huge beast, drawing Bei Feng into its gaping jaws which was filled with blackness!

At this time, a shadow suddenly flitted in the distance ahead. The features of that figure could not be seen clearly, and a mist even darker than the night surrounded it.

"Who!"

Bei Feng raised his voice and called out in shock as he raised his guard.

Although he had been immersed in his thoughts for a moment, it was still impossible for just anyone to get so close to him!

One had to know that the area of 120 meters around him were constantly monitored by his mental power. But this person actually managed to appear within 100 meters of himself! This alone was enough to cause Bei Feng to feel incredulous.

Although his mental power was locked onto the figure now, he was still unable to get a sense of the figure's appearance. He could not even detect a trace of life from it!

Seeing that the figure did not reply his question, Bei Feng cautiously moved towards it.

This area had not been established as a tourist site, so no matter how he looked at it, this person appeared extremely suspicious. Bei Feng created a fist imprint in both his hands and walked to the back of the figure.

The Bear Form Style and Eagle Form Style attacks were ready in each hand, and Bei Feng was not afraid of any kind of sudden change in the situation!

Under his wary gaze, the figure slowly turned around.

"How can this be!"

Bei Feng's mouth fell wide open with shock in the instant that the figure turned around. The other party... actually looked exactly like him!

Wrapped in the darkness, even the hair of the other 'him' was also the same color as his!
