Chapter 375: No Choice (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Don’t worry, disciple. You’re the only Beast Pattern Golden Core cultivator in the human race and have even inherited the techniques of an Immortal Dao Almighty. No matter what happens, I’ll definitely let you live!”
He listened to the gentle voice that lingered in his ears. Shen Ping did not know how he walked out of Jingsi House. Even when he stood at the entrance of the Fire Spirit Hall, his master’s last sentence was still echoing.
He wasn’t stupid. How could he not understand the meaning of that sentence? It was obvious. In his master’s heart, she had already given up on the five continents and four seas. She had given up everything, including herself.
“The five continents and four seas are huge. Am 1 the only one left?”
He came to the backyard of the hall. He looked at the quiet room where his wife, concubines, and Dao companions were. Shen Ping’s bitter face was filled with indescribable pain. He walked slowly.
It was as if he had returned to the moment when he had just returned from Spring Garden in Cloud Mountain Parlour. When he walked back to the wooden house along the winding alley, his footsteps were also difficult.
He said that he was resigned to his fate. But it was just the most helpless choice. And now, he didn’t even have a choice. Facing the strange beast, even the Head Hall Master couldn’t do anything.
What could he do?
It was late at night.
Shen Ping silently sat at the head of the jade table. He stared at the spirit rice and thin meat porridge that his wife had served and picked up the jade bowl to eat it in small bites. During this period, he did not raise his head once.
He was afraid of seeing his wife, concubine, and Dao companions. He blamed himself for being helpless.
“Husband, eat more spirit beast meat.”
“Husband, this is the latest spiritual fruit.”
“Husband, in a few days, 1’11 break through to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment!”
The joyous voices of his wife and concubines rose and fell. Shen Ping kept nodding. However, he did not say a word. As if sensing her husband’s mood, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, Bai Yuying, and the others stopped talking.
After the meal, he returned to the quiet room. Shen Ping sat cross-legged on the cushion in a daze. He habitually took out the Talisman Beast Scripture and studied it. However, when he looked at the complicated and special spirit rune combination on the scripture, it was as if he was completely reading a heavenly book. He was distracted.
For the next half a month, he was in this state.
In the side hall, Yu Qingling, who had always been quiet, couldn’t help but ask. “Fellow Daoist Shen, w-what’s wrong?”
The number of Derivative Beasts had clearly decreased.
Pei Huoyu returned to the Fire Spirit Hall tiredly. Although her light armor was filled with an unpleasant smell and she even had some typhoid fever, there was excitement in the corners of her eyes. “Husband, Master is right. The special energy accumulated from killing the Derivative Beast can really speed up the circulation and absorption of magic power in my body. If this continues for decades, I believe it won’t be difficult for me to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!”
Every time a Nascent Soul cultivator broke through a small realm, it would usually take hundreds of years. Some could not advance any further in their lives. Even for cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, at the Nascent Soul realm, the help of their talent would slow down.
Therefore, breaking through in a few decades would definitely make many Nascent Soul cultivators crazy.
Shen Ping said the few words he had said during this period of time. “Huoyu, the number of Derivative Beasts will increase, and their strength will also become stronger. You have to be careful. You can’t be careless because of this.”
A smile appeared on Pei Huoyu’s valiant face. “Don’t worry, husband. With the shield you gave me, I’ll be fine.
“By the way, Sister Qiu Ying, you should be able to sense the opportunity to reach the Nascent Soul realm soon. When you break through to the Nascent Soul realm, if the Derivative Beast hasn’t disappeared, you can kill the enemy with me!”
When Qiu Ying heard this, her eyes were filled with anticipation. Hearing this, Bai Yuying, Mu Jin, Yin Honglian, and the other women said helplessly, “Unfortunately, our cultivation levels are too low. Otherwise, we could have killed the Derivative Beasts together and improved our cultivation levels!”
Looking at their regretful expressions, Shen Ping was silent. There was danger in killing Derivative Beasts. Even if he provided a powerful Spirit Channeling Ancient Treasure, they would still die. However, there was no fear in the words of his wives and concubines.
Shen Ping knew that they were also afraid. However, in order to accompany him for a long time in the future, they were working hard to cultivate.
Late at night, Bai Yuying carried the jade basin and placed it under the bed. Then, she hugged Shen Ping’s feet and washed them gently. She said coquettishly, “It’s rare for you to be alone with Ying’er today. You have to let Ying’er serve you well.”
Shen Ping asked, “Ying’er, tell me about your past.”
Bai Yuying was stunned for a moment before saying, “In the past, my brother and I relied on each other to survive in Cloud Mountain Parlour’s Ningshui Alley. My biggest wish everyday was to earn a few more spirit stones and accumulate enough spirit stones to exchange for a safer alley.” She seemed to be lost in her memories. “At that time, I had to go out every day to hunt demon beasts.”
Shen Ping couldn’t help but interrupt, “With your cultivation, aren’t you afraid of dying when hunting demon beasts?”
“Of course I’m afraid! But no matter how scary it is, I have to go. Otherwise, my brother and I won’t be able to afford the monthly rental fee. If we’re expelled, we’ll still end up the same. In any case, I’m going to die either way. 1 might as well hunt demon beasts and fight.”
Shen Ping asked again, “At that time, can you see the hope of cultivation?”
His voice was low but Bai Yuying did not notice. She shook her head and smiled. “I can’t see it, but so what? As long as I can be with my brother, it doesn’t matter if I see hope or not. It’s still cultivation. Husband, regardless of whether we can live forever together in the future, as long as 1 can be with you, Ying’er will be very satisfied.”
Shen Ping reached out and touched Bai Yuying’s face. He said extremely seriously, “If tomorrow is the day we die, what will you do, Ying’er?”
Bai Yuying replied without hesitation, “I will cherish every moment with my husband.”
Shen Ping immediately smiled.. “Ying’er, I’ll start cherishing every moment with you now!”
