Chapter 113 This idea is terrifying... (1/2)

Ruan Tang trembled at his sudden cold tone and subconsciously replied, "Actually, in the cultivation world, as long as it's not a case of possession and rebirth, it's a kind of opportunity given by the Heavenly Dao. Once you seize the opportunity, it's up to you what you do next. Whether you devour or merge is entirely up to you. Humans are inherently changeable, but if you don't make good use of this opportunity and end up like you were in your previous life, the final result will still not change."

She felt his body tense up even more, so she quickly turned around in his arms, reached out her small hands to hug his neck, and softly pressed against him.

"Brother, don't worry."

"You forgot what Sister Nan said: that Jin guy's eyes are all on Gu Jinzhou, he's no threat to us."

"I'm just curious, what kind of drama of love and hate did these three people act out in their past lives?"

She thought her words would appease him, but Yan Yu did not respond to her as usual.

He simply stared at her silently. The murderous intent surging in his deep eyes did not subside; instead, it deepened and solidified, forming an impenetrable pool of ice.

After a long while, just as Ruan Tang was feeling uneasy under his gaze, he finally spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, carrying an undeniable cruelty.

"Tangtang, how can we... completely kill that kind of 'devouring' you mentioned?"

"The kind that leaves not even a trace of its soul."

Yan Yu's words, devoid of any warmth, struck Ruan Tang's mind like a block of ice.

With a buzzing sound, she was stunned.

She froze completely in his arms.

His chest, which had been warm just moments before, was now as hard as iron. The bloodthirst and coldness emanating from his bones made her fingertips go numb.

This person... really intended to kill!

Ruan Tang suddenly looked up, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, her voice trembling with fear.

"No, no, no, brother, you can't think like that!"

"That's terrifying!"

Yan Yu lowered his eyes, his dark pupils unfathomable, yet a terrifying killing intent was spreading silently.

He didn't speak, just watched her quietly, like a lurking beast scrutinizing the only living thing that could get close to him.

Ruan Tang's heart trembled under his gaze, but she knew she couldn't hide now.

Her voice softened, her small hands gripping his arm tightly, pleading with a sob in her voice, "Brother, killing a soul that hasn't done anything wrong will bring karmic consequences!"

"It will bring negative karma, which is particularly bad for spiritual practice and luck!"

Her face tightened with anxiety.

"It's really unnecessary! My gut feeling tells me that this is absolutely not something we should do!"

"Think about it, I saved the little tiger, and merit fell from the sky. Even Ruomu said it felt good! This shows that the way of heaven in this world likes us to do good deeds!"

"Let's follow its fur and collect as many good items as possible; they'll be very useful later!"

She finished speaking in one breath, tilting her small face up and nervously watching his reaction.

The icy coldness in Yan Yu's eyes cracked and melted away very slowly under the girl's clear and determined gaze.

Cause and effect, karma, fortune...

He didn't understand these things.

All he knew was that the little one in his arms was everything to him.

She was scared.

Then, I won't do it.

After a while, his tense jaw relaxed a little, and he let out a deep "hmm" from his chest.

He forcefully suppressed the killing intent that could freeze the soul, and it sank into a bottomless abyss.

Ruan Tang let out a long breath, her whole body went limp and she collapsed into his arms, as if her bones had been removed.

Yan Yu pulled her even tighter, lowered his head, and pressed his burning lips against her smooth forehead, leaving a hot mark.

The two cuddled together for a while, until the flame of the kerosene lamp flickered, before finally falling asleep in each other's arms.
