Chapter 621 Ao Zhu tricked you into going there and then beat you to death.
Xue Lan's body in this life was originally a broken shell, and it was only thanks to the many spiritual herbs of Qingyu Peak and her powerful demon soul that it did not collapse.
But now, things have come to this point, and we can no longer hold on.
"Your soul and body are incompatible, yet you keep having your soul extracted..." The inner demon's tone rarely carried a hint of worry:
"Xue Lan, you knew this day would come."
A bitter, bloody taste surged in her chest again. Xue Lan raised her hand to cover her mouth, and blood seeped out from between her fingers, making for a very gruesome scene.
"Ahem...yes."
"It's because I wanted to keep this body too much."
Her body was nourished for over a decade by Kong Mingzi and Yin Shishi using the spiritual herbs of Qingyu Peak. Her teachers and fellow disciples repeatedly instructed her to protect it.
Many, many people care.
She didn't want to give it up easily, but she had to compromise again and again for the sake of the plan.
It has come to this point.
The inner demon didn't know what to say to Xue Lan. With a flick of her sleeve, the woman in white appeared before Xue Lan from the edge of the ice cave in her sea of consciousness. She reached out and grabbed Xue Lan's wrist, transferring her limited pure spiritual energy to him.
Then the woman spoke in a low voice:
"Is this one of the reasons you want to return to Beiyuchuan as soon as possible?"
The inner demon's spiritual power made Xue Lan feel a little better. The Wolf King's body had long since developed its own way of regulating itself through years of torment. The sharp pain that started quickly turned into a dull sense of fatigue.
Only at this point did Xue Lan realize that losing the ability to feel pain was a good thing.
Thinking of this, Lord Wolf couldn't help but chuckle.
"Still laughing!"
The inner demon couldn't resist using his other hand to tap Xue Lan's head.
"You'd be laughing if you lost the ability to feel pain and accidentally died one day!"
As soon as the inner demon finished speaking, he saw Xue Lan looking at him with an extremely shocked expression.
Lord Wolf spoke haltingly, choking on blood with every word, yet he stubbornly persisted in asking:
How...did you know...what I was thinking?
"Just a guess!" the inner demon replied casually, then pressed down on Xue Lan's protruding head.
"Don't move."
Xue Lan dared not move, fearing that her inner demons would take advantage of her illness and kill her.
The inner demon, manipulating the exceptionally obedient wolf lord before him, suddenly had an absurd thought.
She actually liked the way this person was well-behaved and didn't cause trouble.
Inner Demon: It turns out that Xiaotong and I are kindred spirits.
Unfortunately, Xue Lan is now numb in both body and mind and has no mind to listen to her feelings, otherwise she would have said something sarcastic and arrogant:
"It's just that I've tamed you all."
Xue Lan has always been quite proud and affirmed by the indulgence of those around her.
The inner demon's spiritual power had been accumulating in Xue Lan's sea of consciousness year after year. While the quantity was small, it was of the same origin as Xue Lan's power and free of impurities. In just half an incense stick's time, Xue Lan's condition improved considerably. The bloodshot in the woman's eyes faded, returning to their greyish-white state.
Only after Xue Lan had thoroughly sorted out the surging blood and disordered meridians within her body did the inner demon speak softly.
"I'm afraid there's nothing you can do even if you return to the Northern Region River with this body."
Xue Lan felt much more relaxed. The woman took a few steps forward and sat down on the round stool.
"I didn't intend to rely on the Northern Region River to save me."
The inner demon saw the hint of a smile at the corner of the woman's eyes and understood.
The woman in white looked into Xue Lan's eyes and spoke:
"Aren't you overthinking this?"
“When Ao Zhu invited you to drink the Star-Slaying Wine, she might have just been being polite, but you took it seriously.”
Xue Lan disagreed with her, tilting her head back with a defiant look:
“Ao Zhu is not that kind of person.”
"Yes, yes, yes, perhaps she intends to use the Star-Slaying Wine to help you..." The inner demon nodded in agreement with Xue Lan's words, then changed the subject and spoke in a sinister tone:
"But... how can you be sure Ao Zhu isn't trying to trick you into going there with the Star-Slaying Wine to kill you?"
Lord Wolf felt a chill run down his spine.
Lord Wolf trembled with fear.
Lord Wolf stood silently, his hands clasped together in anxiety.
The inner demon raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, his tone quite smug:
"Why don't you speak?"
Xue Lan clutched her head:
"I think you're right. Ao Zhuzhen would really trick me into going there and then beat me to death."
"She's really capable of doing something like that."
After all, back then, the veterans from Lei Peng City were tricked out by Ao Zhu and fought one by one.
Thinking of this, Xue Lan showed an extremely panicked expression.
Lord Wolf cast a cleansing spell on himself, then scooped up the porcelain doll-like Soul Guide and held it in his arms.
"Little Soul, Little Soul, Your Majesty is so scared!"
The spirit guide was already used to her lord's sudden change of expression. The little girl raised her hand and patted Xue Lan's forehead:
"It's alright, Your Majesty. I will always protect you."
She will always do what Xue Lan wants her to do.
"Waaah, Little Soul, you're so kind."
With comfort from her lovely daughter, Xue Lan felt much more at ease.
Lord Wolf King has given up all hope and is ready to die.
"It's alright, I understand Ao Zhu." Xue Lan's expression was cold, and she seemed to have little desire to live.
"She probably won't beat me to death on the spot; locking me up and torturing me is more in line with the style of the Third Palace Master of the Pure Water Palace."
The inner demon almost choked on his breath:
"you are hopeless!"
Xue Lan nodded: "I think so too."
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
A dull knock came at the door, and the three people inside heard Xue Tong's voice:
"East Sea... ugh... we've arrived."
"So your seasickness started the moment you saw the water?"
Standing on the deck of the ship, the inner demon looked at the listless Xue Tong with great curiosity.
"Yes, it's been like this since I was little... ugh!"
Xue Tong clung to the side of the boat, looking at the blurry coastline in the distance, her face deathly pale.
Awu stood behind the girl, her eyes filled with worry.
She really couldn't understand why her magic had no effect on her seasickness.
In fact, it wasn't just the comfortable death from treatment; everything in the Yuanming Realm had a negligible impact on Xue Tong.
This is a journey through another world centered around her alone.
With the combined protection of Xue Lan, the main system, and the Heavenly Dao, she can change the Yuanming Realm, yet the Yuanming Realm cannot affect her in the slightest.
The inner demon looked at Xue Tong and almost laughed. It was rare for little Tong to be so listless and unable to scold her with full energy, so he had to make some trouble over there.
With this thought in mind, the inner demon rather formally straightened his sleeves:
"I'm a little curious, you got seasick when you took a boat from Qinglin City to Dali Dynasty back then..."
The inner demon's eyes curved into crescents:
"Haven't you ever doubted that you're even human?"
"No..." Xue Tong wore a bitter expression, seemingly realizing she had been somewhat foolish.
"At the time, I thought it was a unique feature of our production line, and I was very confident in our high-quality and good system."
Looking back now, it's absurd; what machine gets seasick?
