Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Rumble—!

The cliffs on both sides of the valley began to shake violently, and rocks fell like rain. The ice and snow melted, and the lava churned, as if the entire valley was about to be torn apart.

"Oh no! This valley is going to collapse!" Zhu Feifei's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that the power of Bihan and Bishu would be so strong that even the aftershocks of the battle could cause a landslide.

"Idiot! Use 'Moon Guard' now!" The weak voice of the Ringwraith White rang out again, "If we don't run now, it'll be too late!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feifei immediately activated the "Moonlight Treasure Ring," and a soft moonlight shone from the ring, forming a spherical protective shield around his body.

"Xiaobai, how are you?" Zhu Feifei asked worriedly.

"I...I'm alright..." Xiaobai's voice was broken, "Forcibly connecting just now...consumed...too much energy..."

"Then you should get some rest, I'll take care of things here!" Zhu Feifei said.

He looked around and saw that the once majestic Ice Beast and Lava Beast were now fleeing like stray dogs, dodging falling rocks and lava.

"Roar!" The Frost Beast was hit by a boulder, let out a mournful howl, and fell to the ground.

"Hiss!" The lava beast was also hit by a lava flow, black smoke billowing from its body as it roared in pain.

"Those two big oafs, they really brought this on themselves!" Zhu Feifei shook his head, then began to think about how to stabilize the valley's environment.

Just then, a thunderous roar erupted, shaking the earth slightly.

Zhu Feifei looked up abruptly and saw that the sky seemed to have been torn open by a pair of giant hands, revealing two stunningly beautiful figures.

The first thing that catches the eye is the Goddess of Cold Protection, who is tightly wrapped in a layer of clear ice, just like a graceful iceberg floating in the sky.

The ice shimmered with a deep blue luster, and countless stars seemed to twinkle and leap within it, further accentuating her graceful figure, making her appear like an elf forged from ice and snow.

She wore a long, ice-blue dress that trailed on the ground, the hem swaying gently with her movements, like a flowing glacier, exuding a chilling aura.

Her fair, snow-white skin appeared almost translucent against the backdrop of the ice, radiating a chilling aura and exuding an ethereal, otherworldly beauty. Her eyes were like deep, cold, azure pools, profound and serene, with slightly upturned corners that conveyed an innate nobility and aloofness.

A cascade of long, silver hair fell like a waterfall, its strands shimmering with tiny ice crystals, each movement like a symphony of ice.

The goddess of repelling summer heat was surrounded by blazing flames, her whole being like a scorching sun, radiating endless light and heat.

The flames were a brilliant orange-red, like a burning sunset, leaping and dancing, displaying her fiery passion and vitality.

She wore a fiery red mini-skirt, the hem of which billowed wildly in the wind like a burning flame.

Her wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy and captivating luster under the flames, and her toned muscles accentuated her powerful physique.

Her bright eyes were like two burning flames, fiery and resolute, as if they could ignite all the darkness in the world.

Her red hair was wild and unrestrained, like burning thorns, each strand seemingly telling the story of her unruliness and freedom.

At this moment, the two goddesses were engaged in fierce combat. With a light wave of her jade hand, the Goddess of Cold-Repelling sent an ice shard slicing through the sky like a sharp blade, hurtling towards the Goddess of Heat-Repelling with a whistling wind.

The Goddess of Repelling Summer turned around, and the flames instantly condensed into a wall of fire, steadily blocking the ice shards.

Icicles struck the fire wall with a crisp sound, turning into a pool of icy water, from which wisps of steam rose.

Zhu Feifei looked up and saw the two goddesses, Bihan and Bishu, still facing off in the sky, glaring at each other angrily.

Although they seemed to be trying to restrain the outflow of their power, the bone-chilling cold emanating from the Goddess of Cold Repelling and the rolling heat waves released by the Goddess of Heat Repelling still crashed against the valley below like a surging tide.

The cold air and the heat wave intertwined and collided in the air, sometimes turning into a sky full of snowflakes, and sometimes stirring up a scorching wind.

The trees in the valley, caught between ice and fire, were either covered in frost and withered instantly, or scorched by the heat and turned to ashes.

The once tranquil stream was now half frozen solid, while the other half was boiled, steam rising from it.

"This can't go on, we have to find a way to stop them!" Zhu Feifei was extremely anxious, thinking to herself, "If they keep fighting like this, the entire valley will be destroyed."

Suddenly, he felt the "teardrop necklace" on his chest emit a faint light and become slightly warm.

“This is…” Zhu Feifei was stunned. He remembered that the Ring Spirit Xiaobai had said that the Tear Necklace could sense strong emotional fluctuations.

"Could it be..." Zhu Feifei's heart skipped a beat. He quickly took the "Tear Necklace" in his hand and carefully felt the energy fluctuations within it.

He discovered that the emotional fluctuations sensed by the "tear necklace" came from the goddesses Bihan and Bishu.

Although they appear to be at odds on the surface, deep down they harbor love and concern for each other.

"I see!" Zhu Feifei suddenly realized, "Although they have become enemies, they are still twin sisters. Blood is thicker than water, and family ties cannot be severed!"

With this in mind, Zhu Feifei had an idea.

He took a deep breath and then activated the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation." Nine golden fox tail phantoms unfolded behind him, like nine golden whips, dancing in the air.

"Goddesses, please stop!" Zhu Feifei shouted. "Your battle has already devastated the valley and brought suffering to the people. Can you bear to see this?"

His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the valley and clearly reached Bihan and Bishu's ears.

Upon hearing Zhu Feifei's voice, the two goddesses were slightly taken aback. They looked down at the devastated valley, a hint of reluctance flashing in their eyes.

"Hmph, it's all her fault!" Pi Han snorted, pointing at Pi Shu and saying, "If she hadn't insisted on changing the order of the four seasons, how could this world have become like this?"

"It's clearly your stubbornness!" Bishu retorted without backing down. "I just want summers to be warmer and winters to be shorter, what's wrong with that?"

"You are going against the will of Heaven!" Pi Han rebuked angrily.

"You're the one who's stuck in the old ways!" Bishu retorted.

Seeing that the two goddesses were about to start arguing again, Zhu Feifei quickly said, "Goddesses, please hear me out!"

"You are all gods who govern the four seasons. You should prioritize the well-being of all people, not cause them to suffer because of your personal squabbles!"

"I know you sisters are very close, but a misunderstanding caused you to become enemies. Now, you should put aside your differences and work together to save the world, instead of continuing to fight!"

Zhu Feifei's words were like a wake-up call, causing Bihan and Bishu to fall into deep thought.

“You two goddesses, you still care about each other in your hearts, right?” Zhu Feifei said, holding up the “tear necklace”. “It can sense the emotions deep in your hearts. Your sisterly bond has not disappeared; it has just been covered up by misunderstandings and anger.”

Bihan and Bishu looked at the "teardrop necklace" in Zhu Feifei's hand, and a complicated look flashed in their eyes.

"Hmph, who cares about her!" Pi Han said stubbornly, but her tone was no longer as forceful as before.

"I don't need her concern!" Bi Shu muttered, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Bi Han.

"You two goddesses, stop being so stubborn," Zhu Feifei said with a smile. "I know you both have feelings for each other, you just can't bring yourself to admit it."

He walked between the two goddesses and then activated the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation" to its fullest extent, with the "Celestial Fox True Fire" blazing on the nine phantom fox tails.

“I will use ‘Heavenly Fox True Fire’ now to temporarily stabilize the valley’s environment and prevent it from collapsing further,” Zhu Feifei said. “However, this is only a temporary measure. To completely solve the problem, you two goddesses need to work together and find the ‘Four Seasons Harmony Jade’.”

As she spoke, Zhu Feifei extended the nine phantom fox tails to both sides of the valley, separating the ice and lava, and began to repair the damaged areas in the valley using the powerful force of the "Heavenly Fox True Fire".

Bihan and Bishu were moved as they watched Zhu Feifei's actions.

"Hmph, you do have some skill." Bi Han snorted lightly, then began to control his icy power to reinforce the cliffs of the valley.

"I'll listen to you this time," Bishu said, then began to control his flame power to help Zhu Feifei repair the valley.

With the joint efforts of the three, the environment of the valley gradually stabilized. Although it has not fully recovered to its original state, at least it will not continue to collapse.

"Phew, finally done!" Zhu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, then put away the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation" and the "Celestial Fox True Fire".

"Thank you," Pi Han said to Zhu Feifei. Although his tone was still somewhat cold, it no longer carried the hostility he had shown before.

"It was nothing," Zhu Feifei said with a smile. "Now, can we have a proper talk?"

"What do you want to talk about?" Bishu asked.

“Of course, we should talk about how to find the ‘Four Seasons Harmony Jade’ and how to reconcile you sisters,” Zhu Feifei said. “After all, you are goddesses who govern the four seasons. If you continue to quarrel like this, the people of this world will suffer.”

“This…” Bi Han and Bi Shu exchanged a glance and fell silent.

“My two goddesses, I know there are many misunderstandings between you, but misunderstandings always have a way of being resolved,” Zhu Feifei said. “As long as you are willing to be honest with each other, I believe you will be able to reconcile.”

“Sigh…” Pi Han sighed and said, “Perhaps you are right. It’s time to clear up the misunderstanding between us.”

“Sister…” Bishu looked at Bihan, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes.

“Alright, now’s not the time to talk about this,” Zhu Feifei said. “Let’s go to the nearby villages first and find out about the ‘Four Seasons Harmony Jade’.”

"Mm." Both Bihan and Bishu nodded.

So the three of them left Icefire Valley and headed toward the nearest village.
