Chapter 97 Xiao Wu's Desire to Sacrifice
Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ye's cultivation level has finally reached level 50. With just one more soul ring, he will become a Soul King.
Inside the room, Lin Ye slowly finished his practice.
He opened his eyes and saw Lin Qiu'er lazily lying on his lap.
The latter looked up at Lin Ye and asked, "Where are we going this time? Still to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lin Ye habitually stroked her soft fur.
Lin Qiu'er said, "Take me with you, it's been a long time since I've been back."
Lin Ye had no objections. The little one had been away for several years and it was indeed time for her to go home so that those ferocious beasts wouldn't worry about her.
Just then, Xiao Wu pushed open the door and came in.
She lowered her head, her two rabbit ears drooped down, and her steps were slow, each one seeming particularly heavy.
The rabbit seems a little different today; it appears to be in a bad mood.
She glanced at Lin Qiu'er, then looked at Lin Ye and said, "Let's talk alone."
His voice was muffled, lacking its usual liveliness.
Lin Qiu'er wisely jumped out of the window.
"You can say what you have to say now." Lin Ye looked Xiao Wu up and down. This rabbit was acting strange today. Why was she so sullen? Where was her usual carefree spirit?
"You've broken through level 50?" Xiao Wu asked in a low, muffled voice.
"Why are you asking this?" Lin Ye frowned slightly.
Xiao Wu seemed to have finally made up her mind, and looked up to meet Lin Ye's gaze.
"You want my spirit ring and spirit bone, right? I'll give them to you. I can offer them to you right now, but you have to promise me that you'll kill someone for me. She is Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall."
Xiao Wu displayed an attitude of calmly facing death.
A gentle breeze ruffled her disheveled hair through the window, but it failed to disturb her unusually calm expression.
There was fear in her eyes, but more than that, there was calmness, like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples.
His face was expressionless, but there was a sense of calm and open-mindedness emanating from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if death was not the end for her, but a long-awaited journey home.
She was pessimistic about her fate, but she accepted this pessimism with equanimity.
Lin Ye froze, unable to recover for a moment.
Xiao Wu said, "Right now, you can't withstand a 10-year soul ring. Even if you break through level 60, there is still a great risk in absorbing a 10-year soul ring."
But I can sacrifice myself to you and become your fifth spirit ring. This way, when you reach level 60, you'll have a greater chance of absorbing other 10-year spirit rings, and your future path will be smoother.
After Xiaowu finished speaking, the room fell silent.
For some reason, seeing her so calmly facing death made Lin Ye feel uneasy.
This led him to wonder if he was being overly compassionate.
"Why did you do this?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
Xiao Wu said magnanimously, "Anyway, I'm going to die sooner or later, right? It doesn't make much difference to me whether it's sooner or later. If this can help me avenge my mother, then I'll have fulfilled my purpose of entering human society."
Her lips curved slightly upward, forming an almost tragic smile that carried a sense of resolve yet also a hint of relief.
Looking at her, Lin Ye felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making him feel as if he was suffocating. It was very painful.
He remained silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu laughed, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you reluctant to part with me?"
Lin Ye was slightly taken aback, then turned his head away, not daring to meet Xiao Wu's gaze.
His throat felt like it was choked by something.
Having spent so many years together, he wasn't entirely unmoved by Xiao Wu. In fact, his heart had already begun to waver long ago.
But his stubborn, proud, and arrogant nature drove him to remain defiant and refuse to admit that he was soft-hearted.
After a moment of silence, his tone hardened again as he said, "I have my own arrangements for the spirit rings. You don't need to worry about my affairs. Get out."
Xiao Wu was slightly taken aback. No, was she being rejected?
Seeing that she stood there without reacting, Lin Ye said again, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to get out."
"oh!"
Xiao Wu hung her head and silently retreated.
Watching her leave, Lin Ye felt a mix of emotions.
He couldn't bring himself to ask Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself.
If Xiao Wu had a grudge against him, he would definitely be able to bring himself to do it.
The reality is that over the years he has bullied that silly rabbit quite a bit, but that silly rabbit has been very nice to him.
To use any means necessary to gain power, even to the point of killing someone who genuinely cares for you, is truly profiting from human suffering.
What's more, this is a blood-soaked bun made from the blood of a close relative.
Putting everything else aside, Lin Ye himself can't get over this from his own conscience.
He can be a heartless bad person, an evil person.
However, they cannot be as at ease as Tang San in being a hypocrite.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ye suddenly chuckled and muttered to himself, "Silly rabbit, you're lucky."
After a while.
Lin Ye walked out of the room and went outside.
He glanced at Xiao Wu, and as usual, didn't give the rabbit a friendly look, ordering her without any politeness, "Go, get ready, and come with us to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu looked puzzled, realizing that she wouldn't be able to help much even if she went.
Lin Ye said, "Qiu'er said she wanted to go home for a visit. Don't you want to go back and see her?"
Xiao Wu asked hesitantly, "Can I...?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready. We'll be leaving soon."
A moment later, everyone gathered in the courtyard.
Lin Ye, Xue Di, and Lin Qiu'er and Xiao Wu, who are visiting their families.
Hyotei, on the other hand, was left behind to guard their home.
Hyotei was very dissatisfied with this.
"No, I want to go with you." She protested, shaking her large pincers.
She worried that if she wasn't there, the Snow Empress would be taken advantage of by this brat. After all, the Snow Empress was becoming increasingly indulgent towards this little devil.
Lin Ye shook his head. "Don't cause trouble. Besides, the house can't be left unattended. What if Zhu Qing encounters bad people while you're gone?"
Lin Ye did indeed have his own ulterior motives, because of the Ice Emperor's strict defenses, he and the Snow Emperor had absolutely no chance.
Hyotei: "Then I'll go with you. Let Yukitetsu stay here, okay?"
Lin Ye shook his head again, "No, there might be some unexpected problems this time, and you won't be able to handle the situation."
"What? Who do you think you are?" Hyotei felt he had been underestimated and showed great dissatisfaction.
"I don't mean to look down on you, it's just..."
After some back and forth, Lin Ye finally managed to persuade Hyotei.
……
Several days later.
As soon as the group entered the Starry Sky Forest, Lin Qiu'er darted out, moving as fast as a cannonball, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Lin Ye knew that the little guy couldn't wait to go home.
He wasn't worried about the little one being in any danger on her own. Putting aside her own strength, in this Star Dou Great Forest, what soul beast would dare to attack a mythical beast?
