Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 64 To Hell with Fate
She slowly closed her eyes and probed her spiritual consciousness into her dantian, examining the objects there one by one: the lotus, the fire essence, the dark crystal, the thousand-year-old snake spirit's inner elixir...
Very good, very good.
These are her bargaining chips, the most important ones.
Her fingertips accidentally brushed across her eyebrows, and the faint cold touch from the fingertips made her subconsciously retract her hands.
She knew that she didn't have much time left and had to race against time.
"Brother Wu Su, I want to go to Tianxuan Secret Realm now to meet my uncle and the others." She gathered her thoughts and made a quick decision in her heart.
"But, you just woke up, your body is still..." Wu Su was about to persuade her to rest in bed, but he saw that she had already turned over and sat up from the soft couch. "Don't worry, I just have a lot of questions I want to ask the uncles, I won't act rashly."
Wu Su quickly shut up and subconsciously reached out to help her. She closed her eyes slightly but did not refuse.
She casually picked up the light green apron lying beside the soft couch and casually put it on over the white plain shirt she was wearing. Her long dark hair, which was originally loose, was casually tied up and tied behind her head. In the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground: "Senior brother, actually I still prefer the bright red lotus dress with gold edges." She said so, smiled brightly at him, turned around and walked straight out without looking back.
At that moment, Wu Su was slightly stunned, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The early morning sunlight was surprisingly dazzling. She squinted slightly, and a look of determination suddenly appeared in her golden-brown eyes.
Her war has already begun. She knows that she has no way out. From the moment she made that all-risk bet with that person in her dream, there is no turning back!
Don't hesitate, don't be soft-hearted, don't be confused, and don't retreat!
She will let all the people of Shamo know who is the real master of Shamo, and she will take back everything that belongs to her without hesitation.
She would return true peace to Shamo, because this was her hometown, and here were the people she wanted to protect...
If everything that happened before was her destiny, then her choice was to slap fate hard twice and let that damn destiny go to hell!
Ying Lili, no, or should I call her Yao Ji. When she walked out of the attic without looking back, suddenly, a hissing sound made her subconsciously take two steps back. She vaguely felt that a purple shadow was suddenly approaching in front of her. She subconsciously waved a golden barrier to block the purple shadow in front of her, but saw that the purple shadow suddenly spit out a cloud of mist. The thick purple mist entangled with the golden light curtain, making endless explosions, and then disappeared together.
Yao Ji took a closer look and found that the purple shadow was actually a purple fox-like monster that was about the height of a man and had white cloud-like patterns on it. The monster was blocking her way, and its crimson eyes met her golden-brown eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in them.
She was slightly startled, a barely perceptible quirk flashing across the depths of her eyes, but it was fleeting. Her golden-brown pupils were now fixed fiercely on the purple monster. Suddenly, her originally golden-brown eyes began to fade, becoming lighter and lighter, gradually becoming as pale as ink, and finally becoming almost like a clear spring...
The purple monster had been staring at her steadily since its eyes met hers, emitting a strong aura of hostility. However, it didn't know what it was afraid of, and didn't dare to move forward. The man and the monster were in a strange stalemate. At this moment, a furious shout came from behind: "Back off!"
The purple monster's body trembled when it heard the words. A strange look flashed in its crimson eyes, but it quickly disappeared and it retreated a few steps following the sound.
"Brother, what...is this?" Yao Ji turned around and asked Wu Su with her eyes.
"This is the Purple Cloud Beast, known as a ninth-level demon beast." Wu Su was stunned for a moment, then began to explain, "I asked it to guard the attic for me before. It probably didn't recognize you, so it's so wary of you."
"A ninth-level demon beast? The legendary ninth-level demon beast has been accepted as a door god by you, senior brother?" Yao Ji glanced at the purple cloud beast twice again, but this time her face was full of sarcasm, as if she was listening to a fairy tale.
"It was just reincarnated not long ago, and its power hasn't yet fully awakened, so I can cast the 'Soul-stealing Technique' on it." Wu Su said this, and then gently called to the Purple Cloud Beast, "Come here."
The Purple Cloud Beast instantly became incredibly docile. It lowered its head, leaped in front of Wu Su, obediently stretched out its front paws, and lay prone, like a docile dog. It seemed Wu Su's 'Soul Control Technique' was truly remarkable, capable of taming a Level Nine demon beast to such an extent.
Wu Su turned to Yao Ji and said seriously, "When it grows up, it should be a good demon pet. Why not give it to Junior Sister?"
"No need, you should keep it, senior brother. I don't really like pets." Yao Ji shook her head and unexpectedly rejected Wu Su's kindness. She glanced at the Purple Cloud Beast coldly and walked towards the Tianxuan Secret Realm without looking back.
Wu Su stared at her back, stunned for a moment, then looked at the Purple Cloud Beast, shook his head in self-mockery, thinking that he was thinking too much.
When she was confronting the Purple Cloud Beast just now, he was worried that she would remember something. But now it seems that he was worrying too much. She didn't look abnormal, and her expression didn't seem to be fake. It seemed that the consciousness of the woman had completely fallen asleep.
Now the spirit in this body is indeed Yao Ji, because in Wu Su's memory, Yao Ji did not like any pets. Maybe it was because she was bitten by a dog when she was a child, so she developed the habit of .
Thinking of her childhood, the expression on Wu Su's face gradually softened. Why did he still remember those events from five hundred years ago so clearly?
He shook his head in self-mockery. Since Yao Ji didn't like it, he left the Purple Cloud Beast in the attic and hurriedly chased after it.
The so-called Tianxuan Secret Realm is actually a secret room carved out in the mountains, and the Tianxuan Secret Realm and this 'Dengyuntai' are connected with a long secret passage in between.
Yao Ji pinched with her white fingers and found the entrance to the secret passage effortlessly .
For some reason, after opening the entrance to the secret passage, she suddenly stopped. She was in a hurry just now, but now she looked at Wu Su behind her slowly, as if she was not in a hurry to go in.
Her behavior made Wu Su confused. Thinking she had suddenly changed her mind, he quickly took a few steps forward, his face full of confusion: "What's wrong?"
She shook her head, and suddenly revealed an extremely familiar expression in his memory. Her eyebrows slightly knitted together, and her nose wrinkled. "Brother, you sealed my soul in this Tianxuan Secret Realm before, right?"
"Yes, I spent a lot of effort to awaken your soul without telling my uncles. You know, to do that kind of thing under the noses of my uncles, I..." He smiled bitterly, but did not say the rest of the words. He just stretched out his hand and rubbed her satin hair, just like before.
Yao Ji raised her head slightly and looked at him intently. At that moment, she was a little hesitant. She hesitated whether she should let Senior Brother Wu Su, who always put the Sha Mo clan in the highest position, know those unknown secrets of Sha Mo. But this hesitation was only for a moment. She knew that if she wanted to tie Senior Brother Wu Su completely to her boat, there were some things that she could no longer hide from her.
Thinking of this, she forced a smile at him, and for the first time, she took the initiative to reach out and tug at his sleeve: "Brother, do you remember? When we first discovered the Tianxuan Secret Realm, it seems that we were thrown into the 'Demon Discipline Cave' as punishment by the elder teachers."
Wu Su was stunned again when he heard this. He didn't know why she suddenly brought up this matter. As for whether he remembered it or not, that was beyond doubt. Every detail of his time with Yao Ji was still clearly engraved in his mind.
"Actually, I had already gone in there myself before you woke up." She paused, feeling Wu Su's body stiffen slightly. She continued, "It was that half-orc Shan Yang who led me in. Do you remember him? He was the eleventh generation chief wizard of Shamo. I was the one who let him out while you were unconscious."
Wu Su's brow furrowed as he heard this. He had vaguely guessed something back then, those fragments swirling in his mind. He couldn't help but feel that Yao Ji's explanation back then didn't make sense. But since Yao Ji hadn't wanted to tell him then, he hadn't delved into it. But what did she mean by saying this now? Why did she suddenly bring up this person? Wu Su narrowed his eyes and stared at Yao Ji, waiting for her explanation.
"If I tell you, senior brother, that Shan Yang was killed by the order of our Sha Mo God Lord Jianyi, and it was also Lord Jianyi who ordered my uncles to kill me, what will you do, senior brother?" Yao Ji's words were very calm and nonchalant as if she was talking about someone else's affairs.
"What you said is... true?" Wu Su was dumbfounded for a long time before he realized that for Wu Su, who had always been loyal to Sha Mo and the God of Sha Mo, what he heard now was almost equivalent to treason.
"Every word is true." Yao Ji paused slightly, then continued: "I just found out about it too. The memory of Gong Lili is still here." She pointed to her head, sneered, and repeated to Wu Su everything that Yan Chen of the Kongming tribe had said during the Yonghui War, even including the matter of Kamaiyi being sealed. Wu Su broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. She stared at Wu Su with interest, watching Wu Su's face change from red to purple and then to black, and she actually found it a little funny in her heart. For Wu Su, this was like a fairy tale, right?
In fact, she had just decided to tell Wu Su all this, because she suddenly realized that she needed Wu Su to do something, something that only he could do. Before that, she had to let him know some so-called truths.
Yes, she was gambling, gambling on how sincere Senior Brother Wu Su was to her.
