Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming Chapter 396 - 269: The Soul of a Dead Person

"If soone is already dead, is it possible for them to be resurrected?" Xi clutched his chest, lying dejectedly on a reef. His usually graceful and fluid voice had beco slow and hesitant.

Ten years ago, he had asked the High Priest the sa question. The High Priest had shaken his head and said sternly, "Once the body dies, how can one be resurrected?"

"Once a Beastman’s body dies, her soul will dissipate along with it, eventually returning to the Beast God’s side. Unless..." The High Priest’s voice carried a hint of age and distance. "Unless that person didn’t truly die—if soone forcibly saved them on the brink of death, only then is resurrection possible."

"...Is that so."

Xi nodded and said no more.

After bidding farewell to the High Priest, he went alone to the Deep Sea Abyss, drifting there by himself for a long, long ti.

After she died, with nothing left to live for, he had simply returned to the deep sea. He used all the knowledge he had learned from her to build up his tribe as best he could.

In the ten years that followed, he built the new Deep Sea Royal City on the foundation of his original tribe, and from there went on to rule the entire Eastern Sea Area.

He beca the supre rfolk King.

Finally, he was no longer the weak, timid Little rfolk he once was—the one who was constantly getting jealous and worrying all day that he would never find a female mate.

He had gained everything he could possibly possess, yet he had also lost the one person he couldn’t bear to lose.

Faint points of light began to glimr in the deep, dark sea, as magnificent as a river of stars flowing through the night sky. They illuminated the countless fish and beautiful jellyfish swimming around him, while the ethereal, distant songs of whales drifted past his ears.

Everything before him was dreamlike and enchanting, making one want to stop and linger indefinitely.

Xi remained in this place for a long, long ti, staring blankly at the scene before him, the turmoil on his face impossible to hide.

When he was little, his mother had told him that the souls of all deceased rfolk eventually return to the deep sea, becoming a ray of light or a grain of sand, to sleep eternally beside their loved ones.

That was why he often ca to swim in this part of the sea alone, hoping to find that one glimr of light he longed to see. Sotis he would stay for an entire day. He couldn’t help but wonder: ’Could Ah Jin be here too, watching from nearby? She must be so bored and lonely by herself. I have to co and keep her company more often.’

As he thought about this, sadness washed over him once more, and he lowered his head, clutching the spot over his heart.

The mate mark was long gone from that spot. For ten years, it had been cold, as if his heart had stopped beating altogether. But just a mont ago, a long-absent, searing warmth had returned to his chest.

’Whether it’s real or not, I have to find out.’

But over the past ten years, he had grown to despise the Land Beastn and had launched multiple wars against them. As a result, he was on the blacklist of every major city on land. The mont he set foot on shore, he would be attacked on all sides.

Worse still, his power would be greatly diminished on land. If Ah Jin was truly in soone else’s hands, he wasn’t completely confident he could snatch her back from the other King Beasts.

Leaving the abyss, he returned to his radiant, underwater palace and casually summoned two rfolk servants.

"Go to the surface and hire a few Beastn. I need them to do sothing for ."

...

During this ti, Ze Sheng had important business to attend to, so he left again.

Seemingly afraid of a repeat of last ti, he emphatically told her to stay put at ho before he left. Then he gave her so novel gadgets for self-defense.

Wamiya carefully put them all away in a small pouch tied to the waist of her skirt. As she watched him leave, she thought, ’I hope he doesn’t co back covered in wounds again this ti.’

He always seed to be heading off to a fight, which didn’t match his gentle and tranquil personality at all.

She shook her head.
