Chapter 101: The Pitiful Little Beast

In the Extreme North, the cold wind whistled.

At this moment, it was even colder than when Xu Lingqing had first entered this place, simply because her heart had grown cold.

Why must I forget him?

Xu Lingqing’s eyes were filled with endless pain. Her body trembled, and drops of bloody tears almost welled up in her mind.

Everyone’s path is in their own hands. Even if my mother wants me to become heartless, I will defy the heavens and change my fate to obtain a piece of emotion that belongs to me.

Senior…

Lingqing is only doing this for you…

Xiong Yangshuo, holding the white paper, quickly came to Xu Lingqing’s side and helped her up, asking carefully.

“Miss Xu, your mother wants you to forget the emotion among the seven passions. Can you forget it?”

Xu Lingqing gave a cold smile, her tone filled with sarcasm.

“You’re asking me? Why don’t you ask the white paper in your hand?”

Xiong Yangshuo froze on the spot, his fingers crumpling the white paper into a ball. This was his last shred of conviction.

If not for the conviction in his heart, he would have fought the Dao Soldier to the death in that battle, disdaining to live on in this world.

It was because he had her in his heart, and he still had a mission. Xiong Yangshuo had no choice but to abandon the entire Xiong family to survive. In truth, his heartbeat had already stopped with the destruction of the Xiong family.

Xiong Yangshuo forced a pained smile, “Miss Xu, I understand you!”

“Thank you. I can become strong even without this opportunity!”

Xu Lingqing’s fingers touched the Eternal Love, feeling the warmth from it.

Chen Anping was the same. Even in his coma, his fingers did not let go of the Eternal Love, simply because he could feel her presence.

Hehehe…

Xu Lingqing stood in the cold wind for a long time, slowly scanning the devastated glacier.

For the next several hours, she and Xiong Yangshuo took away the bodies of countless Xiong family members and buried them together.

Xiong Yangshuo respectfully bowed to the huge grave pit, “Family, may you rest in peace…”

After doing all this, Xu Lingqing’s heart also became complicated.

Ever since she was saved by ‘Senior’, she had truly understood the cruelty of this world and the viciousness of the human heart.

Xu Lingqing closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time, then turned and stepped into the air.

“Family Head Xiong, will you still seek revenge on Jialan Academy?”

Xiong Yangshuo gave a bleak smile. In the cold wind, his body struggled to even fly normally.

“Do I still have the right?”

Xu Lingqing smiled faintly, recalling the words Elder Zhao had left behind, “Perhaps that Jia Tianyang is a good person!”

“Perhaps…”

With that, Xu Lingqing took one last look at her mother’s relic, then turned and left the Extreme North. This place was no longer worth her lingering.

If she wanted to become strong, she could only rely on herself from now on, and not just on the method her mother left behind.

Bidding farewell to the Extreme North.

Xu Lingqing flew in the air. Violet Lightning, who had been silent the whole way, finally spoke.

“Master, do you really desire to become strong?”

“Hmm? Violet Lightning, do you have a way?”

Violet Lightning’s small body straightened up by half an inch. It bit its tail and opened its mouth.

Xu Lingqing couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile.

“You little glutton. If not for the dog food Senior left, you would have starved to death long ago.”

Violet Lightning contentedly ate a large mouthful of dog food. Its body grew a little larger at that moment, and the pair of ears on its forehead gradually turned into a pair of diamond-shaped horns.

“Master, do you remember the place where you brought me out?”

“Giant Min Canyon?”

“That’s right. I lived with my old man in the Giant Min Canyon for decades, and he never gave me anything good to eat.”

Xu Lingqing stroked Violet Lightning’s head with pity, “Your old man is too unreliable, isn’t he?”

Violet Lightning became instantly enraged, its voice filled with growing grief and indignation.

“Master, there’s clearly a treasure hidden under the Giant Min Canyon, but my old man never let me enter, and even said I…”

As it spoke, bitter tears actually fell from Violet Lightning’s eyes.

“There, there, don’t cry… come eat some dog food!”

Violet Lightning choked back a sob and ate another large mouthful. The tears in its eyes gradually receded.

“Master, you’re so good… I will definitely give you all the treasures my old man left behind.”

Xu Lingqing gave a bitter smile, feeling a little exasperated.

My goodness…

Aren’t you just throwing your father under the bus?

If your father finds out, won’t he beat you to death?

The journey from the Extreme North to the Giant Min Canyon was long, almost spanning one-fifth of the Firo Continent’s map.

Even with the help of the Violet-Gold Wings, it took Xu Lingqing nearly half a day to barely reach the Giant Min Canyon.

By the time she arrived at the Giant Min Canyon again, she was already so tired that her limbs were limp, and her forehead and back were covered in sweat.

The Nine Bows Stronghold that once stood in the center of the Giant Min Canyon had long been obliterated by the great battle that took place there. The remaining nine-bow crossbow formation was in a state of utter ruin.

Xu Lingqing took a breath of cool air, which instantly felt somewhat scorching. The aftereffects of the immortal fire had not dissipated, and a wave of intense heat rushed towards her.

Eh?

Why is there such abundant immortal qi here?

Xu Lingqing landed in the canyon and clearly felt that this place was filled with dense immortal qi, causing the entire interior of the canyon to be shrouded in mist, making it somewhat difficult to see the scene in the distance.

“Master, look, there’s a Heavenly Demon Wolf here!”

Xu Lingqing looked in the direction Violet Lightning indicated. There was no shadow in the mist, only fresh footprints on the ground.

“It ran that way!”

Violet Lightning locked onto another direction. Xu Lingqing swiftly moved forward and suddenly saw a small Heavenly Demon Wolf hiding within the mist.

“Don’t move!”

Violet Lightning let out a soft shout. The Heavenly Demon Wolf was intimidated by the sound and prostrated itself on the ground, trembling.

Xu Lingqing looked closely. The small Heavenly Demon Wolf’s outward appearance was listless, but a powerful force was burning within its body.

Suddenly, that powerful force burst forth, dyeing the Heavenly Demon Wolf’s body blood-red.

The flesh and blood of the Heavenly Demon Wolf continuously expanded. In just a moment, its skin was stretched to the point of splitting.

“Awooo, awooo…”

Painful cries came from its mouth. Immediately after, its body suddenly exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Hiss…

Xu Lingqing quickly flashed her violet-gold light, blocking the splattering flesh and blood.

“What on earth is going on?”

Violet Lightning murmured in terror, “It forcibly absorbed power beyond its body’s limit and exploded.”

“That can’t be right. Didn’t it know it would die?”

Violet Lightning sniffed the immortal qi in the Giant Min Canyon. After the burning of the Immortal Fire Talismans, there should not be any bewitching aura.

However, even a beast with a powerful bloodline like Violet Lightning couldn’t help but want to devour the violent energy in the air.

“Someone has implanted a bewitching power here!”

Thinking of this, the worry in Xu Lingqing’s heart grew stronger. The mist in front of them immediately gathered into a mass and rushed towards them.

“Not good, what is that thing?”
