Chapter 108: The Last Thing (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Votes)

"I understand that in an emergency, one must act according to the situation. Regarding this matter... I do not blame you."

Pursing her lips, as if she had finally made a difficult decision, she said with effort:

"I will not tell anyone!"

Li Qiushui: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiushui forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart; she truly had the urge to fight Ren Yidao to the death right now.

Even if I, Li Qiushui, have to risk this life, I will make you, this guy, pay the most painful price.

But unfortunately, Shi Xue, the person she most wanted to keep this from, was right by her side at this moment.

Coldly glancing at Ren Yidao, she turned and walked toward Shi Xue.

"Xiaoxue, you're awake..."

"Uh, Qiushui? Why are you here... Where is this place?"

"This is a long story; let's leave here first."

"... Mm, okay."

Watching Li Qiushui put on a different face for Shi Xue, Ren Yidao had to struggle to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up.

The feeling of secretly learning an opponent's mental cultivation method is really quite good.

I was wondering why so many people like to study fist techniques; it turns out that putting them into practice is so... hmm, pleasant.

This matter can be considered to have come to an end here.

At the cost of very little, Ren Yidao had planted a great amount of emotion into Li Qiushui's heart.

Anger.

In this affair, he played the role of an upright victim; he himself had not committed any major mistakes, it was merely an accident caused by a twist of fate.

That stab just now was Ren Yidao taking a gamble.

He gambled that Li Qiushui was not an unreasonable person, and he gambled that she had her own pride.

He won the gamble.

Li Qiushui had principles in her heart; no matter how angry she was, she would not completely negate his previous performance.

Often, people with principles are prone to suffering losses.

To avoid suffering losses himself, Ren Yidao, except in very rare cases, mostly did not have the burden of principles.

How could a prankster be troubled by such an inconvenient thing!?

Although he had successfully ignited Li Qiushui's anger, Ren Yidao was not worried that the two would become complete enemies afterward.

First, from Li Qiushui's perspective, neither of them was actually wrong, and she would not disregard this point.

Second, emotions are actually very strange things; they can change at any time.

A moment of anger does not mean anything; it is very likely to transform into other emotions in the future.

Compared to being angry because of you, being ignored is even more terrifying.

If your existence cannot even provoke anger, then there is no further possibility.

Third, because of the existence of Shi Xue and my brother Li Long and others, the possibility of them moving toward complete opposition is extremely low.

Furthermore, Ren Yidao was still pondering a question.

"Come to think of it, did Li Qiushui kiss me? Or did she kiss my tail? Uh... sucked on the tail?"

So angry I'm shaking, who among the family understands this?

This woman is truly wicked; she just stole my tail's first kiss.

How disappointing!

And after the Fox Tail Clone and Li Qiushui and the others left the Illusion Seal, Ren Yidao's true body remained in place.

Although he had acted very happily over there, Ren Yidao still did not get carried away.

He still had one last thing to do.

Ren Yidao returned to the giant pit left behind after Mei Yongzhu departed, flicked his sleeve, and threw out hundreds of gloomy ghost shadows directly from his cuff.

These ghost shadows were collected by Ren Yidao when he devoured Mei Yongzhu; they had been attached to the demon ghost, biting along with him.

This group of souls controlled by hatred and despair were Mei Yongzhu's clansmen, bound by him to his side, unable to be reincarnated.

They were bewildered for a moment before they saw the only living person around, Ren Yidao.

But this time, they did not rush toward him again.

All of them retreated in fear, gradually spreading out into a circle, and continued to move further away.

In their eyes, Ren Yidao was like a brilliant scorching sun, emitting dazzling golden light from his body that made their whole bodies ache.

"Was it really because of that wooden box that the ghost shadows rushed at my face before?"

Previously, it was the wooden box that concealed Ren Yidao's aura, which made the ghost shadows rush up regardless of everything, and finally enjoy a delicious meal of Merit Rocket.

Senior Brother Jian, your crimes are compounded.

You were afraid that I wouldn't run into trouble, weren't you!?

Although I not only didn't suffer a loss in this matter, I even made a huge profit.

But my ability to profit is my skill, and you setting me up is you setting me up; these are two different things!

"Senior Brother Jian must bleed heavily this time! Make him paint a few more Shi Nü Tu or something..."

When Ren Yidao came back to his senses, he discovered that those ghost shadows were almost pressed against the edge of the illusion.

These ghost shadows would be excellent materials for Demon cultivators who practice the Ghost Path, and could be used as a foundation to refine a batch of powerful puppets.

But Ren Yidao is not a Ghost Cultivator; these ghost shadows are of no use to him at all, nor does he have any intention of collecting them to trade with Ghost Cultivators.

Waving his hand to pull them back in front of him, Ren Yidao said indifferently:

"I am not clear on what you have encountered, nor am I very interested."

"But I can tell you one thing."

"Now, you can finally be liberated."

The shackles of hatred snapped here.

"Every grievance has its source, every debt has its debtor."

"Mei Yongzhu is already dead, thoroughly and completely dead."

The originally panicked and uneasy ghost shadows quieted down after hearing these words; in the vast space, there was no longer a sound.

"His Evil has already been swallowed by me."

Where there is a cause, there is an effect.

Absorbing Mei Yongzhu's life was the cause, and bearing his Evil is the effect.

"If you want to seek revenge on me, then please feel free."

"If you do not want to, then congratulations to you..."

"Now, you are free."

Clarity gradually returned to their eyes, and the ghost shadows looked with awe at that dazzling figure.

Even though their eyes stung incessantly, they did not look away, striving to etch him into the depths of their souls.

Then, it is unknown who started it, but the ghost shadows began to shed their ghastly air one by one, revealing faces that were honest and simple.

They were in a trance, looking at the familiar scene and feeling the long-lost freedom.

It is just a pity that although they have not completely perished, they can no longer be considered alive.

Dissipation is their only ending.

But before that, there was still one thing to do.

In Ren Yidao's slightly widened eyes, these souls exchanged glances, and suddenly, like wheat stalks, they knelt down before him one by one.

They kowtowed piously, thanking him for avenging them and returning their freedom.

Then, they vanished in a gust of wind, completely turning into illusion.

This wind, which should have blown a hundred years ago, finally finished its mission at this moment.

Feeling streams of Merit energy surging into his body, Ren Yidao did not feel very happy.

He remained silent, then bowed and cupped his hands as a return gesture, saying softly:

"Everyone, go in peace."

I wish you a happy life in your next incarnation.
