Chapter 63: The Unfeeling Turbid Eye

~7 min read 1,284 words

Ye Nan's status is what it is; he does not pressure Ye Chen, and Ye Chen himself doesn't believe it.

But Ye Nan's words are not excessive; most are like "That's your father's killer!", "Come on, is your sniper just a fire stick?" and similar.

Ye Nan's words are within what Ye Chen can accept, and there are nothing overly excessive.

Not long after, they finished the game; it wasn't that they didn't want to continue, but Lin Ruoxi called them to eat.

After finishing the meal, Ye Chen kept Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan company for a chat, then he returned to his room.

Turbid Eye did not understand Ye Chen's approach at all.

"You should know, the planet's energy is undergoing change; this is a sign of a great transformation. You should now be doing everything you can to increase your strength, but you are not doing that."

"You are now spending part of your time accompanying those two useless ordinary people; in my view, that is is extremely unwise."

After Turbid Eye finished speaking, Ye Chen's voice sounded in response.

"Actually, sometimes, some things are far more important than cultivation."

After Ye Chen said that, Turbid Eye stopped speaking.

But it still didn't really understand in its heart.

Ye Chen could have entered the Foundation Establishment realm earlier, but he is still at the Qi Refining stage; if he set aside those trivial matters, perhaps he would have broken through already.

It did not understand, so it asked this question.

Ye Chen does not blame it; when Turbid Eye was born, it had only its own world—opening its eyes was the birth of the universe, closing them was the annihilation of all things, and it fundamentally did not comprehend these seven emotions and six desires.

Or perhaps it simply does not understand these emotions at all.

Ye Chen thinks this might be the price of power.

Seeing Turbid Eye fall silent, Ye Chen also stopped talking to it, sat alone on the bed, and began cultivating by himself.

However, he had not been cultivating long when a knocking sounded at his door.

"Little Chen, I've cut some fruit; if you're not asleep, come out and have some."

After Lin Ruoxi said that, Ye Chen ended his cultivation session.

"Mom, I'm not asleep yet."

After responding, Ye Chen got out of bed.

He walked to the bedroom door, opened it, came to the living room, where Ye Nan lay on the sofa, eating a piece of cut fruit bite by bite.

Seeing Ye Chen come out of the room, Ye Nan quickly got up to make space for him.

"Come on, come on, Little Chen, over here."

Ye Nan patted the spot beside him with his hand; seeing that, Ye Chen walked over and sat beside Ye Nan.

"You two eat first, I'll go cut some more," Lin Ruoxi said, then headed back to the kitchen.

Turbid Eye kept watching from Ye Chen's perspective; even now, it still did not understand.

It thought these people were bound by that illusory, elusive "familial affection"; to it, such affection was too illusory and too elusive.

Therefore, it did not understand, because since the day it was born, it had been alone; it did not know how long this state had lasted, until someone appeared and led it away from there.

Familial affection, to it, was nothing more than a laughable thing.

Of course, that was its former view; now, because it is attached to Ye Chen's forehead, its emotions are also affected by Ye Chen, and at this moment it can feel a different emotion swaying in its heart.

"Is this... familial affection?"

Turbid Eye watched Lin Ruoxi feed Ye Chen the cut apple pieces and thought to itself.

Not long after, Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi felt very sleepy; naturally, this was Ye Chen's doing, as he actually wanted his sister to rest early so that Lin Ruoxi and the others could also rest.

His sister is too powerful; logically, she could not possibly have been born in Lin Ruoxi's womb, but now that it has happened, all Ye Chen can do is protect his sister well, and... his parents.

After Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan returned to their room, Ye Chen, having tidied up the kitchen, also returned to his room.

After returning to his room, Ye Chen suddenly remembered a question he had wanted to ask earlier but never did.

"Turbid Eye, I recall you saying you were brought out of that space by someone; do you really have no impression of that person's appearance at all?"

After Ye Chen said that, Turbid Eye did not reply immediately, but remained silent for a while.

After a moment, Turbid Eye slowly spoke.

"I don't remember, not even a trace; but that's normal—beings that powerful are inherently invulnerable to all laws and avoid causality, so my forgetting is also normal."

After Turbid Eye finished, Ye Chen immediately asked: "Then what about your strength? How can you recover? Or do you need to retrain?"

"As your strength increases, I can gradually regain my own power."

"Oh, I see."

After Ye Chen said that, Turbid Eye's voice sounded again next time.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you—we are now bound as one life; if you die, I will die too."

Ye Chen: "What!"

"Don't be so surprised; this was also your own choice back then, wasn't it?"

"But you never told me there was this aspect either."

"You didn't ask either."

Ye Chen: "……"

"Then what if you die?"

Ye Chen asked, this question is important to him because he still isn't sure whether Turbid Eye truly follows him wholeheartedly; after all, the system also said Turbid Eye is not easy to control.

"You will die as well."

After Turbid Eye said that, Ye Chen spoke with a tone of desolation.

"Is there no way to undo it?"

"There is."

Upon hearing Turbid Eye say there was, Ye Chen instantly became excited and hurriedly asked: "What method?"

"Your strength far exceeds mine."

"You're not spouting nonsense, are you? Our strength is growing in sync—where did this opportunity come from?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, the voice of Hun Eye did not sound immediately; Ye Chen didn't know what it was thinking, but that no longer mattered to him—at least for now, Hun Eye can't do anything about him.

He was preparing to continue cultivating, but just as Ye Chen was about to cultivate, Hun Eye's voice suddenly sounded at that moment.

"Actually... there is still another method, but I hope... it won't have to be used."

After Hun Eye finished speaking, it immediately shut its mouth, not even waiting for Ye Chen to ask why.

Seeing this, Ye Chen could only suppress the confusion in his heart and began to cultivate.

When he was cultivating until midnight, the drowsy Bai Lingling suddenly woke up.

Seeing Bai Lingling wake up, Ye Chen immediately exited his cultivation state and taught Bai Lingling the cultivation method Hun Eye had given him—the Muddled Soul Profound Heaven Secret.

After receiving the cultivation method, Bai Lingling happily went off to cultivate.

Seeing Bai Lingling like this, Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, "After all, she's still just a child."

Having said that, he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

And after Ye Chen immersed himself in cultivation, the long-dormant Hun Eye suddenly opened its eye—though there was a hint of bewilderment in its gaze.

But soon, that trace of bewilderment vanished.

"Perhaps I won't do that, because... I have no emotions."

After Hun Eye finished speaking, it closed its eyes again, and the room fell silent once more.
