Chapter 966: Chapter 952: Heartless and Unfeeling Chapter 966: Chapter 952: Heartless and Unfeeling The Red Demonic Spirit swayed carelessly on the other side.
He Xibai could hardly bear it anymore and shouted, “Red Demonic Spirit, can you say sothing.”
The Red Demonic Spirit under the tree heard this and responded, “What else is there to say? Hurry and find another one. This heartless kind, completely indifferent to others’ feelings, following him will make you anxious every day. Even if nothing happens this ti, what about next ti? There will co a day when it will all end in disaster. It’s better to find soone who can put your mind at ease, soone who truly wants to spend their life with you.”
He Xibai didn’t expect this damned Red Demonic Spirit to not say a word of comfort but instead to say these things, angering him until his eyes were wide with fury.
“Don’t glare at . Am I wrong? To live in such constant fear, luckily you’re not married yet. If you were, there’d be no going back. You’re still young now; finding soone suitable to live with couldn’t be better. If you truly get married, who can guarantee you won’t beco a widow at any mont?”
Unable to take it anymore, He Xibai blurted out, “You and your foul mouth, not comforting at all, and even saying this kind of stuff.”
“Hehe, the words might be unpleasant, but they are the truth. How long can soone live in constant fear, day in and day out? It’s so oppressive. What if you end up driving yourself insane? Even if today passes, what about tomorrow? You’re not living a normal life, always trying to be the hero. That’s just asking for trouble.”
He Xibai felt defiant and countered, “If Ye Chen had a choice, he wouldn’t be doing this.”
“He thinks he’s the savior, that he can rescue everything. Look, the other people are so much smarter. How many of them act like him? I say he’s irredeemably stupid.”
“I think Ye Chen is also out of options.”
“Out of options, I say he’s just foolish. Others aren’t as foolish as him, thinking they’ll leave a legacy. I bet in less than half a year, no one will rember him. He might just defeat Longhun and then soone will stab him in the back.” The Red Demonic Spirit said with a sneer, even letting out a few cold laughs.
“You, can’t you say sothing nice for once?”
“I don’t do nice. I speak the truth as it is – it may sound harsh, but that’s reality. Haven’t you heard? So have already started planning for the aftermath!”
He Xibai was left speechless by the remark.
The Red Demonic Spirit continued, “So, he’s not the one who will accompany you to live a good life. You’re still young, better to change now. Finding soone to live with is the best option. Being with soone who wants to be a hero, you’ll never know when you might drive yourself mad. Being a hero cos with a price, and a person only has one life. Even if it doesn’t end today, soday it will.”
While this was being said, Guo Yuqing walked in with Ye Chen.
Guo Yuyun glanced up, then lowered her head again.
“Alright, you two should have a good talk.” Guo Yuqing said to He Xibai, “Everybody out.”
Suddenly, only Ye Chen and Guo Yuyun were left in the courtyard. Although the oil lamp on the table wasn’t very bright, one could tell from Guo Yuyun’s swollen eyes that she had cried before.
Ye Chen was silent for a while, then suddenly said with a smile, “Hey, things aren’t that bad. Although I’ve beco the Wolf King, I won’t just go insane right away. We can slowly find a way. The current urgency is to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
Guo Yuyun said nothing, clearly still angry.
“If there were any other way, I definitely wouldn’t have done this, but right now, there’s no alternative. You wouldn’t want to see more people die tomorrow, and I can’t bear to see anything happen to you, really. Maybe there’s still hope for after becoming the Wolf King.”
Guo Yuyun glared at him.
“Really, the imdiate task is to deal with the Dragon Slaying Clan. If we have a chance to defeat them below Heavenly City, and don’t seize this opportunity, I will regret it in the future.”
“Right, if you don’t beco the Wolf King, you’ll definitely regret it,” Guo Yuyun snapped.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “If there was really a choice, who would want to beco the Wolf King? I’ve thought seriously about it. Even if I don’t beco the Wolf King tomorrow, in the future, it’s very likely I still might. Think about it, Immortal City and Demon Palace City have been breached, countless masters have died, and every strategy has already been tried. Now, there is no foundation left in the Immortal and Demon domains.
In the short term, it’s impossible to find another way to defeat Longhun. Think about it, dragging this out, not to ntion the failure to find another way, will also an more deaths. So, wearing the Wolf King’s Ring was almost not a choice at all, it was an inevitable decision. And if we can defeat Longhun tomorrow but choose not to, we will definitely have regrets later.”
“But do you know what awaits you?”
“I know, of course I know. But I also know that I don’t want to see Longhun wipe out the Immortal and Demon Worlds, then invade the Wastelands, or see you and your sister in trouble.”
“Did you even consider how I would feel about this?”
“Of course, I don’t want anything to happen to you, and the situation isn’t that dire. Although I’ve beco the Wolf King, I’m not imdiately controlled by the Wolf King’s Magic Power.”
“So when will it be the worst?”
Ye Chen replied, “If I don’t beco the Wolf King tomorrow and use the power of the Wolf King to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan, that would be the worst day for the Immortal and Demon Worlds.”
“Why are you always like this,” Guo Yuyun frowned.
“I know you’ll understand. Like many people here, you’re also innocent, including those from Demon Palace City. They have wives and children. If they all die here, their children will be fatherless, and they’ll be just like you, unable to bear such a burden.”
“But still…”
“We can’t be selfish. If I don’t do this now, and one day the Dragon Slaying Clan breaks through the Wastelands, I will regret it. I’ll regret why I didn’t do this sooner.”
Tears fell from Guo Yuyun’s eyes.
“Really, everyone is already exhausted,” Ye Chen continued. “I also want to find a place to live well with you, but we don’t have a choice, we’ve co across this, and we have to consider them.”
Looking at the person who always seed capable of solving any problem, Guo Yuyun was sowhat at a loss for words.
“There’s no way out, your father has died, and too many people have already died. There shouldn’t be more deaths.”
After hearing about Ye Chen’s situation, Rong’er followed Yang Tao’er to find Guo Yuyun.
Rong’er ran into Xuan Si, who was also anxious, and asked, “Rong’er, have you heard that Ye Chen is going to turn himself into the Wolf King?”
“Who doesn’t know that?” Wan Danrong said.
Xuan Si was startled and said, “So it’s true then?”
“I think Master really can’t think of any other way.”
“But he can’t just do that, doesn’t he know the consequences of such an action!”
“Of course, he knows the consequences of doing it. And he also knows the consequences if he doesn’t,” Yang Tao’er said, showing understanding.
Rong’er quickly introduced Yang Tao’er to Xuan Si.
Xuan Si said, “True, the Four Symbols Fusing System has been broken, and the paths down the mountain have been blocked. Now there really is no way to go.”
Rong’er said, “Without the power of the Wolf King’s Ring, we can’t defeat Longhun. To beat Longhun, we can only use the power of the Wolf King’s Ring.”
Xuan Si said, “But I heard people discussing that after Longhun is defeated, they’re planning to capture Ye Chen.”
“These guys, I don’t know what to say about them. It’s disheartening. Even before anyone has made a decision, they’re already planning to capture others in the aftermath.”
Xuan Si also felt this was detestable and said, “Yes, they’re waiting for death now. Having found a solution, they’re not thinking about fighting the Dragon Slaying Clan, but considering how to deal with the aftermath and capture those who helped them. It is indeed disheartening.”
“I think the most heartbroken must be the mother monkey. She must be very sad.” Wan Danrong made a guess, then asked, “Do you know where Guo Yuyun’s courtyard is?”
Xuan Si nodded slightly and said, “I’ll take you there.”
“These people, they really shouldn’t have been rescued.”
Xuan Si said, “Many have died today, and many have been injured.”
“It’s not our fault.”
“Who would have thought that Longhun would find the lost Dragon Slayer Sword?” Xuan Si said, puzzled.
Rong’er turned to ask Yang Tao’er, “Tao’er, you think becoming the Wolf King is really beyond salvation?”
“Unless a new Wolf King appears and absorbs all the magic power from the ring on his body, otherwise, he will fall deeper and deeper, slowly lured by the ring’s magic power, increasingly out of control until he is completely consud,” Yang Tao’er explained.
“A new Wolf King?”
“Right.”
Around the corner, they saw two figures. Xuan Si pointed ahead and said, “That’s Yun’er’s residence.” From a distance, she shouted “Sister Qing’er” and made introductions.
Rong’er asked, “The master is inside, right?”
He Xibai said, “They’re inside talking.”
Rong’er glanced over and sighed, “These two really do need a good talk.”
Yang Tao’er said, “I guess there’s not much to talk about. They’ve already made their decision, and there’s no turning back. They can only agree, what else is there to discuss?”
Guo Yuqing said, “He Xibai, if anything happens to Yun’er, co tell . I still have so things to take care of.”
He Xibai nodded in response.
Soon, Guo Yuqing left in a hurry, not knowing what else she could do by staying.
Before long, the doors to the courtyard swung open, and Ye Chen was startled; he hadn’t expected several people waiting outside. Knowing they were concerned about him, he said, “Since you’re here, co in for so tea.”
Rong’er threw out a remark, “Are we drinking celebratory tea?”
“You really know how to joke. Would I do sothing that would make soone a widow?”
Guo Yuyun stood behind Ye Chen and chided, “Always talking nonsense.”
They all walked in.
He Xibai hurried to make tea.
Guo Yuyun thought for a long ti, knowing she couldn’t win against the stubborn Ye Chen. What could she do but agree?
