Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2081: Who Is Calling Me

Qiu Honglei was stunned when she heard the question. There were a thousand thoughts she wanted to say.

What is this woman doing? Of course I’m willing to save Ah Zu, but why isn’t she sacrificing herself and is making me do it instead?

Don’t tell me she wants to use this chance just to get rid of a love rival?

She really is a bitch!

As someone who was raised in an environment like the Devil Sect, one of constant mutual deception, she was already used to seeing similar tricks. People clearly had selfish intentions, and yet made it sound as if they were justified and honorable.

Hmph, this woman normally looks pure and indifferent, but in the end, she's no different from the rest of them.

Look at her pretending to be some innocent white lotus, hmph!

With her normal personality, she would normally continue to smile and pretend as if she didn’t know anything. Then, she would pull some small tricks to make the enemy suffer a double loss. But she was now completely discouraged. She couldn't muster any thoughts of fighting back anymore.

Whatever. It doesn’t matter anymore. I already planned to end my life on this snowy mountain. If I can even save Ah Zu, that’s good too. I’ll just let this bitch get away with her plan.

Endless thoughts stormed through her mind, but in reality, only an instant passed. She reflexively nodded and said, “Of course I’m willing!”

When she heard the reply, the Snow Lady’s expression suddenly became a bit complicated.

...

Meanwhile, Shopkeeper Paul was urging Zu An to hurry and make a decision. He also said that the more time passed, the higher a price Zu An would have to pay. After all, Shop 58 had always believed in the principle of 'time is money'.

Zu An was about to make a decision when the Snow Lady stopped him, saying, “Don’t agree to his offer. I have a solution, trust me!”

Zu An was puzzled. But when he saw her serious expression, he still nodded.

The Snow Lady quickly said to Qiu Honglei through qi transmission, “Don’t you know that Dance Offering to the Universe? Perform that in a bit.”

“Huh?” Qiu Honglei was confused why the other person knew about that skill, which she had just obtained from the daoist secret dungeon not too long ago. However, the issue lay in the words that followed. She asked, “I’m not too familiar with that dance; can it really defeat an enemy of this level?”

“It can. It’s just that the Dance Offering to the Universe you learned is still incomplete...” the Snow Lady said, then sent a strand of wind and snow around Qiu Honglei, transmitting some information.

Qiu Honglei immediately widened her eyes. She could sense that it was a higher level of Dance Offering to the Universe, but why did this woman know of it? Just who was she?

She quickly learned the contents. Many things she previously hadn't understood now made sense. She felt a sense of enlightenment, and couldn't help but begin to dance. The wind wept as it swept through the world, mournful like the sobbing of countless women.

In the distance, the Lord of Slaughter turned its head. It was a bit confused at what it was seeing.

Did this woman go mad? Why is she suddenly starting to dance?

More importantly, why does it come with its own music?

Every single female voice sounded like a force of nature. The voices were absolutely enchanting, and they relaxed the mind. But what was even more captivating was the stunning figure at the very center. Up until that point, none of those present had realized that a woman’s figure could be this gentle and beautiful.

In order to make it easier to dance, Qiu Honglei removed the overcoat around her body. She danced lightly and gracefully while wearing a light pink dress. Every movement looked as if it had been carefully carved by the heavens; she looked as if there was a gentle radiance shining behind her, revealing her sweet and graceful lines through her clothes. Her dance was beautiful and sacred. The snow in the sky even condensed into flowers of its own accord, blossoming near her. All of that seemed to coordinate with soft chants of those mysterious women.

Qiu Honglei had become the sole main character of this world.

Zu An was now both the regent of the humans and the fiends. He had seen countless dances from the best dancers. But compared to this dance, they were nothing special at all. The only thing that could be comparable was the Bewitching Dance that Yun Jianyue danced. However, that dance was full of allure, while this dance was filled with a holy air. He was suddenly stunned, remembering that Qiu Honglei seemed to have received a miraculous encounter in the daoist secret dungeon and learned the Dance Offering to the Universe. Could this be it?

But could this beautiful dance really do anything to the powerful Lord of Slaughter?

Are you going to kill it with beauty?

Shopkeeper Paul looked up at the descending flowers. He looked a bit confused as he wondered, “There is actually someone in this world who can trigger a resonance with the world to this extent?

“Wait, this dance...” he murmured as he suddenly thought of something. His expression suddenly changed. He quickly closed the door and looked as if he was going to run away.

Zu An panicked, asking, “Why are you leaving? You didn’t even finish conducting business yet.”

“It’s all your fault for dillydallying! I’m not doing it anymore!” Shopkeeper Paul replied, waving his hands.

You even have this level of skill, so what are you even calling me out for? Are you just making fun of me?

He was scared that he would be left behind here if he was too slow. The dazzling pawn shop quickly began to collapse and shrink until it was just a line. Then, with a flash, it disappeared. There were only the falling flowers left. Shop 58 was nowhere to be seen.

Zu An was speechless.

What the hell is wrong is wrong with that guy?

The Lord of Slaughter was alarmed as well. It was a powerful being itself, so it was able to gradually sense that some special changes were happening to this world. After connecting that to Shopkeeper Paul’s frantic escape, it also realized that something wasn’t right. It roared at Qiu Honglei, “Stop dancing!”

Then, it charged straight at her. When he saw that, Zu An was horrified and quickly stepped forward to stop it. If he let it get close to Qiu Honglei, it could just swallow her in a single gulp. However, his injuries were too serious. If he had to fight without evading and clash directly, he would be sent flying from the first collision. He watched as it charged at Qiu Honglei and was about to use his position swap skill to switch with her, but he didn’t know if doing so would interrupt her dance.

Suddenly, the Snow Lady appeared in front of Qiu Honglei. Her hands formed seals, and a giant snow-white lotus bloomed in the sky. It perfectly surrounded the Lord of Slaughter.

The Lord of Slaughter that had been crashing around to and fro was now actually trapped by the white lotus. A layer of frost appeared over its entire body, and it seemed to be frozen.

“Don’t get any closer. Your current self can’t handle it,” the Snow Lady hurriedly said, as if she was worried that Zu An could try to attack at that moment.

Zu An felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at her without moving, murmuring, “The Pure World Icelotus? You're... Chuyan?”

That lotus was too familiar. He had been with Chuyan in the daoist secret dungeon and knew what she obtained from that experience. However,, he had never seen her use it.

The Snow Lady looked at him with a complicated expression, replying, “You finally recognize me?”

Zu An shivered. He reflexively shook his head and exclaimed, “No, that’s impossible! Chuyan is cultivating in the White Jade Sect, so how could you possibly be her? Also, I even fought against you a long time ago. How could you be Chuyan?!”

A hint of broken-heartedness appeared on the Snow Lady’s face. She muttered, “So I was still cultivating in seclusion at this time. If I think about the time, I’ve likely already entered that place...”

“What are you talking about?” Zu An asked, feeling as if he was about to go mad. He reflexively looked at Qiu Honglei in the hopes that that she would give him a bit of confidence, but she continued that holy dance as if she had already forgotten about everything else in this world.

The Snow Lady took a deep breath before saying, “Long story short, I am Chuyan from a different timeline.”

Zu An was stunned.

Inside the Tai’e Sword, Mi Li had a pensive expression.

“We will meet again in the very distant past. Many things happened between us, and I ended up like this,” the Snow Lady said, suddenly feeling a bit downcast. She asked, “Am I really ugly now? I’ve become a monster.”

“You’re not ugly! You’re extremely beautiful,” Zu An reflexively replied. But he quickly shook his head and said, “That’s not what’s most important! What happened? Why did you become like this? And what do you mean by saying that we'll meet again in the distant past?”

The Snow Lady shook her head and said, “There are many things I can't tell you. You have to experience it for yourself. Otherwise, we'll be killed by the laws of time.”

Zu An was startled. Many guesses appeared in his mind. He was about to say something when the lotus flower next to him split open with a loud noise. The Lord of Slaughter jumped out from within.

“What a powerful lotus flower. I was almost frozen into an ice statue inside!” the Lord of Slaughter exclaimed, still feelingsome lingering fears. “Even so, your injuries are too severe and this lotus can't display its true strength. Let’s see who can save you all now!”

Just then, Qiu Honglei finally finished her dance. Her final move was to kneel down on the ground, as if she was praying to the heavens. The world suddenly became quiet. It was different from the Great Snowy Mountain’s quiet; this was a kind of absolute silence. Even the powerful Lord of Slaughter didn’t dare to speak. It could only look around in fear. In the end, its eyes shifted toward the sky.

The clouds in the sky seemed to form a pair of eyes. Then, those eyes slowly opened. Everyone present felt a mysterious pressure that made their souls tremble. They all felt as if they were ants facing a great primordial beast. They couldn't even muster the slightest intent to resist.

Compared to Zu An, the Lord of Slaughter was in an even worse state. Perhaps because of its strength and its stronger spiritual senses, which made it feel things even more strongly, its entire body was shaking. In the end, it sprawled across the ground like a clump of noodles. fre(e)webno(v)el

“Who... is calling me...” said a voice.
