Chapter 1010: Chapter 33: Mark of Suffering and Sin (Part 3)
He discovered Shiyu Ling in front of the fridge, the female Hunter was sneakily reaching for the last piece of strawberry cake.
“Hey, that should be saved for , right?”
Miss Shiyu swiftly completed the theft operation, taking a big bite of the cake: “What’s yours? If I got it, it’s mine!”
“It’s a pity you’re not so kind of notorious pirate, hey.” Gongsun Ce grabbed the remaining half and stuffed it into his mouth, speaking indistinctly, “Co spar with .”
“Got a new trick? Your developnt speed is impressive.”
“I’m an unparalleled genius recognized by everyone for the Impermanence Skill, would I joke with you?” Gongsun Ce said proudly, “I guarantee it will open your eyes!”
Shiyu Ling extended her index finger, wiping the cream from his lips. She licked her finger with a mischievous smile: “Hit first, then talk, young man~”
The two instantly disappeared from the cabin, appearing above the deck of the Dawn Star. Shiyu Ling gave him no chance to use the Solitary Thought Seal, imdiately pulling away with spatial capabilities, flashing to a mountaintop thousands of ters away. Gongsun Ce stood on the deck without moving a step, extending his right hand with his index and ring fingers forward, the other three fingers retracted, making a brand new gesture.
“Kunie Seal Yingye Demon Flow.”
The seal was ford, Divine Skills triggered. Gongsun Ce’s right arm lted in the burning of Nirvana Fla, transforming into an oddly shaped black cannon. The cannon was pitch black like night, its upper and lower sides uneven, splitting: the upper side was a three-dinsional acute angle, slightly longer, the lower side was a straight strip, like a base when taking off. This cannon as a whole resembled a cold and sharp “pincer,” lines of energy indicators gradually lit up inside the cannon, and the light transford into a dark red stream that burst out, arriving in front of Shiyu Ling in an instant!
“What a silly na, is it the old-fashioned energy release attack this ti?”
No matter how strong the attack, it ans nothing if it can’t hit. Shiyu Ling disappeared again in the light, shifting to 3000 ters behind Gongsun Ce, in a direction completely opposite to the artillery fire. She was about to make a sarcastic comnt, but a sense of crisis swept over her just a mont before. The dark red artillery suddenly appeared behind her, even closer than before.
“Interesting…”
The airspace around the Dawn Star was covered with a sea of flowers, as the chase between the Hunter and the cannon played out in a dreamy setting. In just one second, Shiyu Ling shifted positions dozens of tis, yet the distance between her and the bizarre attack kept closing without a single mont of separation. By the end of the second, the artillery was almost brushing her hair, and the Hunter decisively teleported to Gongsun Ce’s back, using the gunner himself as her shield.
“Nice try.” Gongsun Ce grinned, “Hit!”
The dark red artillery struck Shiyu Ling’s back from behind, precisely hitting her. The Hunter Miss grimaced, unable to stop jumping: “Ah, hurts hurts hurts! What’s this, it feels like stepping on a Lego barefoot!”
“I was super rciful, okay? Originally it’s a physical attack ntal damage, I only left the minimum ntal damage.” Gongsun Ce created two white chairs and sat down, “Co, let massage you.”
“Cut it out, what’s the use of massaging for ntal damage.” Shiyu Ling rolled her eyes at him, “This move is the Pain , right? What’s the exact principle?”
Gongsun Ce returned his right arm to its original state, explaining: “You see, pain is the scar left by past experiences, it’s not a slow trickle of sadness but an emotion that erupts like a volcano, so I used a cannon as the carrier.
And a person’s pain mostly cos from the outside and others, not themselves. As a person who suffers, to take revenge on those who hurt , isn’t that understandable?”
“Eek!” Shiyu Ling looked shocked, “Don’t tell …”
Gongsun Ce laughed heartily: “Harm is karma, revenge is the result, those who inflict pain are hurt by pain, we can say it’s a kind of retribution. And bad karma can’t be escaped~”
Shiyu Ling put her arms around herself, goosebumps rising: “So that’s why this move always hits? And the deeper the harm you suffered, the stronger this move’s power… Eek, you’re still holding a grudge over the heart-digging thing from before, aren’t you, do you have to be so petty!!”
Look who’s talking, who was on the verge of tears when being confessed to because they couldn’t let go of past grievances.
“Hey, getting your heart dug out is very painful, okay? I don’t care, but my body does.”
Shiyu Ling shivered uncontrollably: “The Solitary Thought Seal is a restraint not to leave, the Kunie Seal is unavoidable revenge, don’t you think you might have a bit of a ntal issue? You’re like a black hole of deep-seated emotions from Zero Island, just getting close feels like being sucked in by a swampy gravity, oy!”
“Don’t make sound like so ancient patriarch, okay!”
Shiyu Ling pouted: “You totally are! At this rate, you’ll interrogate like ‘Confess honestly, what did you talk about with that convenience store owner?’ whenever I go out to buy a snack.”
“I wouldn’t do that, I’d tell the convenience store owner ‘See that pretty girl? That’s my wife.'”
“Tch.” Shiyu Ling stepped on him, leaned in to give him a peck, and whispered: “Sorry…”
Gongsun Ce wiggled his eyebrows: “Just one kiss, no sincerity at all, two kisses at least for so satisfaction.”
“Pervert.”
She grabbed the young man’s shoulder, kissing his lips long and sweetly. After the lengthy kiss ended, Shiyu Ling quickly stepped aside, shyly nudging her lover, “Okay, enough, ti to talk business!”
“Any suggestions for improvent, Lord Illusion Moon?”
“I feel like there’s an issue with your move, try another shot.”
They created distance, and Gongsun Ce complied. Another Yingye Demon Flow was shot at the female Hunter, this ti Shiyu Ling slowed down the ti slightly short of stopping, the dark red artillery moved like a snail in the still ti.
Shiyu Ling shrugged his shoulder, smug, “See, your karma takes a while to co, huh.”
“No can do, the causal type is innately bad at dealing with long durations.” Gongsun Ce spread his hands, “Think about how the King of Destiny was stuck on Zero Island for so long tornting over this ‘bad karma cos too slow’ issue, if I could solve that problem, he might be willing to trade places with .”
Indeed, bad karma will inevitably co, but if it arrives too late or too slow that everything is already over, what’s the point of retribution? Therefore, causal interference naturally doesn’t sh well with ti, it’s a fundantal compatibility issue.
The two simultaneously retracted their moves, and Gongsun Ce’s stomach let out a hungry growl, provoking the female Hunter’s loud laughter. They bickered as usual, until a third party chid in from behind them with a suggestion.
“Causal retribution can be infinitely delayed by ti, but ‘avoiding retribution’ itself is also new karma. Therefore, you could improve it into an attack that grows stronger the more it’s evaded, putting more pressure on the enemy.”
Gongsun Ce sighed: “Alandia, I haven’t got a clue about your last suggestion of ‘cognition as contact’ yet, this high-level improvent is still too far for … Hiss!”
He turned around, taking a sharp breath. Alandia’s deanor was as usual, the only difference being her outfit didn’t quite match her usual style today.
Dawn Knight was wearing his T-shirt.
“Having a direction for improvent is always a good thing. Now it’s lunchti, you two.”
The Dawn Knight walked back to the cabin. Gongsun Ce swallowed hard, hearing a mischievous voice behind him. Shiyu Ling tapped her finger back and forth on his shoulder like a pianist playing a lody.
“Did it?”
“How could it be!!!!”
The Jihui Bureau agent, dazed, leaped into the clouds from the deck, and today’s lunch officially began once the crew retrieved the captain.
