The last time he saw the Frightening Salamander in the tower, he had let her go after defeating it. This was because Bai Su knew very well that if the Frightening Salamander's mission was not completed, she would continue to follow.
A few months later, on a cliff.
Looking at the Startling Salamander that had been knocked to the ground by his sword, Bai Su did not show any surprise. As long as the Startling Salamander chased after him, this would definitely be the result.
"Kill me." Seeing that Bai Su had easily defeated him once again, the Startling Salamander knew that it was impossible to complete this mission. Even if he was let go, he would still be unable to escape death when he returned to the net.
The rules of the Network were cruel. Either the mission was successful or death.
The frightened salamander's voice was neither sad nor happy, as if it was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Bai Su ignored the Startling Salamander's desire to die and looked at her lower abdomen instead. Although he knew that the Startling Salamander was pregnant when they were in the tower, it was probably because the Startling Salamander had just been pregnant not long ago that Bai Su did not sense the child in her stomach at that time.
Now, it was different. After a few months of nurturing by the Startling Salamander, Bai Su could easily sense the heartbeat of the child in her womb.
Bai Su walked forward and stretched out his right hand, wanting to reach for the Frightening Salamander's abdomen. The Frightening Salamander instinctively dodged backward.
Bai Su did not pay attention to the sound of his right hand. Instead, he looked at the frightened salamander whose helmet had fallen off. The frightened salamander looked like a beautiful woman from the south of the Yangtze River. It had bright eyes and white teeth. However, its expression was a little cold, as if it was rejecting people from a thousand miles away.
"You're pregnant." Bai Su said softly, and then added," Carefully sense it. It's been about five months.”
Upon hearing Bai Su's words, Startling Salamander subconsciously caressed her belly. She had long known that she was pregnant, and that it was that person's, in order to assassinate him.
For an assassin, this was necessary. However, Jingli did not love that person. However, she still kept the child and did not inform the network.
She knew that once the net found out, what awaited this child would be an endless life as an assassin.
The Startling Salamander didn't say anything, but its expression was a little complicated. It kept stroking its abdomen with its hand.
"You have a heart and a care, but you still don't cherish your life?”Bai Su lifted the Startling Salamander's chin with his right hand and stared into her eyes as he spoke sternly.
"The goal of the Network has always been to fight to the death.”It was unknown if it was forcing itself to calm down or something else, but the Startling Salamander said this again.
"You can only stop after you die. Then, why are you unwilling to give up on her?”Bai Su asked.
The Startling Salamander didn't reply. He still touched his abdomen, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
"Do assassins have love too?"
"From the moment you didn't tell the Network that you were pregnant, you took on this life. Your heart has already made a choice for you.”
" I…" The Startling Salamander wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
"If you don't want her to be like you in the future, living under the shadow of the net, then fight for yourself and for her.”Bai Su could see that the Startling Salamander was wavering and continued.
Bai Su's words continued to impact Jingli's heart. She had never fallen in love with that man, but this young life had gradually made her different from the past. It often affected her heart and beat together.
"Live on, for yourself and for her.”Bai Su stood up and extended his right hand to the Startling Salamander.
Stunning Salamander looked at Bai Su's deep and mesmerizing eyes, and a voice kept echoing in his heart. He believed in the man in front of him.
Thinking of its unborn child, the Startling Salamander struggled for a while before finally reaching out its left hand and allowing Bai Su to pull it up.
……
At night, the moon was still bright and clear, but the two people who had once been enemies were now sitting together.
Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Bai Su felt that it was a little too quiet, especially when there was a cold and beautiful woman beside him. Although she was pregnant, Bai Su felt that he should find something to talk about.
"Have you always been called the Startling Salamander?" Bai Su felt that he had asked a stupid question. The assassins of the Network either used their ranks as their code names, or they used the famous sword as their code name like the first-class assassins of the Heaven. How could there be any other names? Unless they were assassins recruited by the Network from the martial world, they would only have their original names before entering the Network.
"Name? Perhaps I did. I was caught in the net when I was very young. It had been too long and I had long forgotten.”The Startling Salamander's eyes were lifeless as if it had thought of something.
"Then, since you are about to escape from the net, you should give yourself a name. Everyone's name has a special meaning. Now that you have left the net, it is equivalent to being reborn.”Bai Su suggested.
"Master, Master, just like my name is Lu. I originally thought that this name was too ordinary, but it turns out that it also has a special meaning?”Yan Lu, who was at the side, heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Of course, there are many roads in the world. Some roads can see grasslands and the sea, and some roads can see stars and dawn. In short, everyone has their own path to take.”Bai Su gently stroked Yan Lu's head with his right hand as he spoke slowly.
"Then, what about you? From the information I received from the network, I only know that you are Sword Master Wu Ming. Is that your real name?”Startling Salamander thought of the information he had seen about Bai Su and couldn't help but ask.
"So what if he's famous? So what if he was nameless? However, I do have my own name. You can call me Bai Su. The so-called Nameless is just a code name that people in the martial arts world don't know my name. After a long time, I feel that it's good to be nameless, so I've been like this.”Bai Su explained with a smile.
"Bai Su? This name is quite elegant. Then I'll still be called Frightening Salamander. I've used this name for a long time. I'm not used to it if I give it up.”The Startling Salamander gently tucked the hair on its forehead behind its ears and revealed a faint smile.
She didn't know why, but ever since she decided to leave the net with this man, her heart seemed to relax and feel at ease.
Looking at Startling Salamander, who was smiling for the first time, Bai Su was also stunned by her current appearance. Although the cold beauty was beautiful and moving, the smiling cold beauty was even more enticing.
Bai Su quickly closed his eyes and circulated his meditation technique to calm his breathing.
It wasn't that he didn't have a good self-control, but the current Startling Salamander was simply too alluring. It was even more alluring than Yan Lingji, who was 'passionate as fire, gentle as water'.
Seeing Bai Su's attitude, Startling Salamander felt a little amused. She had deliberately done that just now, just to see if this Bai Su, who always had a calm expression on his face, could maintain a calm expression under any circumstances.
As a network killer, in order to complete the last mission, she had learned a lot of knowledge in this area, so she could easily change her attitude.
As expected, no matter how powerful Bai Su was, he was still one person, one man.
Yan Lu, who was sitting quietly at the side, looked at the two of them and felt a little confused. However, he did not pay too much attention to it. He still had to travel tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.
