Chapter 105: An Outbreak in Silence (Grand Chapter)
"What's wrong?"
After hearing Su Cheng's voice, Ah Yin was stunned for a moment, and his half-closed eyes widened slightly.
Then he quickly withdrew his arm like an electric shock, subconsciously grabbed the neckline position with his backhand, and stammered and asked in a low voice.
As soon as the words came out, she suddenly noticed that there was something strange about her slightly hoarse voice.
It was as if a sticky, moist moisture was surging down the throat, choking between the lips and tongue, and then exhaling softly with the breath of the mouth and nose.
Her heart was beating fast like a thunderous drumbeat.
The scorching flames burned in the chest, and blood spurted out of the atrium aorta, and then swept through her body like hot lava, drowning her mind and making her feel a little dizzy.
Su Cheng's heartbeat also accelerated a lot at this moment.
He swallowed, quickly looked away, got up and walked among the flowers, looking at the precious plants that had been transplanted.
In the flower garden, in addition to some varieties in the eyes of Ice and Fire, there were also rare and exotic grasses that Ju Douluo had found from elsewhere during this time.
The moon cares for flowers and is obsessed, and many precious flowers and plants have been found from many famous mountains and dangerous places before.
It's just that most of those plants need special environmental support to grow, and he himself has no means to feed them in an ordinary environment, so he has never transplanted them.
Later, after seeing Ah Yin's methods, he didn't have to worry about it anymore, and brought those long-coveted treasures back to Wuhun City to be cultivated one after another.
Su Cheng has been in Wuhun City for so long, and he has never been to this flower garden. However, due to his professional reasons, he is also very interested in herbal medicine.
At this moment, I was attracted by the scenery here, and watched it with great interest, and gradually let go of the charm of the moment just now.
After a long time passed like this, Ah Yin's figure came closer from behind him, and his face still had a little shy flush.
It was Su Cheng, who was carefully observing a tea tree more than half a person tall in front of him.
Its trunk is curved and tough, the bark is furrowed and covered with the traces of time, and the young emerald leaves shimmer in the sun, and it does not look squeamish.
If it weren't for what Bibi Dong said before, he wouldn't have imagined that the growth environment required for this thing would be so harsh, and it would be difficult for Ah Yin to have the ability to take care of it so vigorously.
Su Cheng didn't look back, stared at the tea tree and asked casually: "Listen to His Majesty the Pope, this is the ambergris heavenly fragrance of the mother tree that produced those tea leaves?" Where did you find it, I've never heard of this variety of tea before. β
After Ah Yin heard his flat words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and instead of answering immediately, he looked at Su Cheng with his spare eyes.
Then, a flash of astonishment and shame flashed in her eyes.
The other party's calmness is really not pretended!
Although he understood, Su Cheng's bland posture of changing the topic at this time was probably to avoid embarrassment.
But this look of nothing happening still made her feel a little depressed.
So his tone when he spoke was also a little cold, "I don't know, this is Elder Ju who found it, and he was half dead at the time, and asked me if I could save it." β
"I see."
Su Cheng nodded and glanced at Ah Yin in surprise.
This tone is not quite like the other party's character.
Are you angry?
Because of what just happened?
It seems that the previous behavior did go a little too far.
At that time, I was too involved and didn't take care of Ah Yin's feelings.
Now that I think about it, that approach is probably even more unacceptable than the previous study of her physical makeup.
This was also evidenced by the reaction of the other party after the study.
But in that case, why didn't she choose to interrupt herself halfway?
Although the information collected is not complete if you stop in the middle of the process, the effect is not too different......
The two of them walked through the flower garden in silence.
Except for the rustle of the breeze through the flowers, the whole flower bed was silent.
Su Cheng would occasionally reach out and touch the flowers and plants he had never seen, observe and sniff them, and then think about their uses.
It wasn't until he walked into the depths that Ah Yin suddenly hesitated and said, "Su Cheng, there is something I want to ask you." β
"You say."
Su Cheng put down the branches and leaves in his hand and raised his head.
Before this, Ah Yin looked a little speechless and stopped.
But for some reason, she seemed to be apprehensive and didn't speak until she finally made up her mind.
"Is there any way to make ordinary soul masters no longer need to hunt soul beasts, so they can be promoted to the rank by condensing their own soul rings?"
She knew that Su Cheng could do it herself.
At that time, when he was in the Blue Silver Grass Forest, the other party obviously did not have the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, but he forcibly attracted the powerful martial soul bloodline in the Immortal Sword, and then absorbed the massive soul power gathered by the Blue Silver King, and directly condensed his fifth soul ring.
At that time, Ah Yin still had an extremely close connection with the Immortal Sword, and he could feel everything that happened in it.
The whole process amazed her.
It was also thanks to this that she made the same attempt some time ago and successfully condensed the eighth soul ring and was promoted to Contra.
However, it was precisely because she had done the same thing herself that she knew how difficult it really was.
In this process, it is better to say that a large amount of external natural condensed soul power is required.
The medium that stimulates the bloodline of the martial soul is not a problem, and the soul master's soul power can attract it.
The biggest difficulty is that only a powerful and pure high-quality martial soul bloodline can generate a ring of blank laws.
So this method is obviously difficult to promote.
However, Ah Yin still clearly remembered that Su Cheng didn't know how to use soul power at that time, and he completed the steps of stimulating the bloodline by taking a certain potion.
So she wondered, if she could improve the optimization potion, would it be able to have some effect?
"......" Ah Yin looked at Su Cheng expectantly.
She believed that as long as she had the means to generate her own soul ring, the survival pressure of the soul beast clan would definitely be greatly reduced.
The risk of soul masters hunting soul beasts is only one reason.
The key is that as long as there is enough natural soul power in the outside world, the self-generated soul ring can be easily filled to the limit of the number of years it can reach, and the soul skills produced will also be extremely in line with the martial soul essence of the soul master, and the combat power after promotion will be stronger.
No soul master can refuse this temptation.
And once this method is popularized, soul masters will advance by killing soul beasts when they have nothing to do.
The risk is high, and the effect is not good.
"It's a big deal, and it's a lot of trouble......"
"I can help you study the follow-up, didn't you also say a long time ago that you hated this way of promotion? And I'm also very good at elixirs, and I can give you a lot of ideas. β
ββ¦β¦β
Su Cheng didn't answer immediately, but stood there and muttered.
Whether to help or not is not the most critical issue.
Even the "trouble" that he himself calls is not the main problem.
The problem is the risk after the fact.
He needed the right moment to do it.
The impact of this move is not weaker than the release of the first volume of the complete version of the Innate Gong, and to some extent even more serious.
If this attracts the attention of the Divine Realm Bet, or alarms the Silver Dragon King who is still asleep, the consequences may be unpredictable.
Now, he doesn't have much ability to resist risks.
Otherwise, there is no need for Ah Yin to mention it, he himself will definitely be willing to take the initiative to promote this matter.
If a soul master wants to cultivate innate power, the purer the composition of his own energy, the better.
Absorbing the soul ring on the soul beast's body will inherently pollute its own soul power.
If the absorbed soul ring attribute is not suitable for the martial soul, it will even directly cut off the front road, and it is extremely difficult to reverse.
Su Cheng was able to resonate with the five elements to cleanse away those impurities that originated from the laws on the soul beast soul ring, how many other soul masters were able to do this?
However, these secrets are very important, but it is inconvenient for him to tell Ah Yin directly.
"......" Ah Yin's gaze never left Su Cheng.
She noticed some concern in the other person's expression.
I don't know why, but it's clear that it's not just a troublesome process.
A pair of clear blue eyes also went from the initial expectation, to anxiety, and finally a little bit of dimming, and the heart was empty.
She whispered, "You still don't believe me, do you?" β
Su Cheng did not answer.
There was silence for a while.
Obviously, just a moment ago, it wasn't like this between the two.
Although the atmosphere just now was a little awkward, that atmosphere seemed to go back to the time when we were honest with each other and even shared our hearts two years ago......
After a while, Su Cheng coughed lightly, still ready to explain.
After the "physical examination" just now, although the process is very academic and serious, if this time it is said too bluntly as before, it will inevitably feel a sense of ruthlessness.
And it's not about believing or not believing, it's a choice.
The power to choose is not his own, either.
"Ah Yin, there is something I might as well tell you directly. If nothing else, I will definitely live and die with Tang in the future, and I have a reason to do so. This also means that Tang Hao is the same.
"What's more, you should understand that even if I don't target Tang Hao, because of your existence, he will inevitably regard me as a mortal enemy. And with my character, I can't sit still. So as long as I'm alive, then sooner or later, both he and Tang San will die in my hands. β
"......" Hearing this, Ah Yin's breath was slightly suffocated, and his face turned a little pale.
The fragrance of flowers and the scattered sunlight shine on the paths between the valleys.
There are so many flowers here, even Su Cheng can't make out all the plants and trees.
The heart of the woman in front of her is also like this magnificent and gorgeous flower garden, which is incomprehensible.
But can she see it herself?
Su Cheng glanced at Ah Yin, who was silent, and sighed in his heart.
Then he didn't go any further.
Turning around, he walked off into the distance without hesitation.
ββ¦β¦ Wait a minute. β
Before he could go too far, a woman's anxious cry suddenly came from behind him.
Su Cheng paused, his shoulders didn't move, he just turned his head around, and waited quietly for the rest of the conversation.
In the warm and bright spring light, the expressionless side lines of his face looked extremely cold.
This time, the wolf looked at him, and Ah Yin's heartstrings trembled.
Yes, he is indeed such a person, he has always been such a person, didn't he already know it?
The words of persuasion that I wanted to say were suddenly unspeakable.
She had never been able to influence his decision.
Ah Yin knew about Su Cheng's past, which the other party had told her personally.
So she also knew that the person in front of her only seemed gentle on the surface, but in fact, he was more indifferent than anyone else in his heart.
His indulgence, his ruthlessness, many times it was on a whim.
He is like a passer-by in this world, unless he enters his heart, it is difficult for you to seduce or provoke him in every way, and it is difficult to make too many waves in his heart.
He didn't care at all.
According to Su Cheng at the time, he still had memories of another world.
When Su Cheng said those words at that time, the loneliness revealed in his body made Ah Yin remember it vividly.
She didn't know how deep the so-called "another memory" was in the other person's mouth.
But at that moment, it touched her the most.
However, he once seemed to have walked into the depths of Su Cheng's heart, and that was probably the loneliest time for him. His lover is thousands of miles away, and he himself is weak and unaccompanied.
But because of a misunderstanding, they were redivided into two worlds.
It was only after a moment of getting along and talking that she had the illusion that everything seemed to have returned to the past, to the time when they had nothing to talk about.
Su Cheng would ask her for some knowledge about plants and trees, and he would also confide in her some negative emotions accumulated on weekdays, treating her like a confidant sister......
That's right, Ah Yin himself positioned his identity in this way.
Although more often than not, the other party is laughing at her for being ignorant, naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve......
It wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized that this was not the case.
The so-called return to the past is, of course, only an illusion.
A lot of things happen just as they happen, and they can't be changed.
From the moment he is out of his control.
When he stood in front of his sword that day.
Everything is already different.
There was no place for him in his heart.
It is impossible for him to be the object of his confiding, let alone continue to play the role of that sister.
In the future, he will continue to be alone.
All secrets will only be hidden in the depths of his own heart.
Qian Ling Xue is the person he loves, but Qian Ling Xue can't share those secrets, because that woman is too strong, and she may not even know about Zhu Zhuqing's existence.
Zhu Zhuqing is also not good, that girl, she herself is still under heavy pressure......
"I can study it with you."
Looking at Su Cheng's side face, Ah Yin said in a hurried voice.
"My power should be of great help to your research, right? As you said earlier, my situation is very complicated.
"I know that my soul power has some wonderful properties, and you will definitely be able to use these.
"And, Su Cheng, I have never mentioned those secrets of yours to anyone, you can trust me!"
ββ¦β¦β
Su Cheng didn't reply, this was not the answer he wanted to hear.
So he turned his head in silence.
Then keep walking......
Ah Yin looked at his figure getting farther and farther away in a daze, and his mind was a little dizzy like lack of oxygen.
It shouldn't be like this......
It can't be like this!
She's backed down countless times.
From the death of Xiao Wu.
to the departure of Tang Hao and Tang San.
When she joined the Wuhun Palace, she was treated coldly and even viciously by countless people.
To this day, she even allows the other party to know all her secrets......
Obviously, he has already taken this step, and he has done such an excessive thing......
ββ¦β¦ What else do you need me to say! β
This time, the voice behind him suddenly became agitated.
There was also heavy wheezing.
Hearing this, Su Cheng stopped again, was stunned for a moment, and then turned around.
"Isn't that enough......
There was no trace of blood on Ah Yin's delicate cheeks.
The previously scorching blood cooled down little by little, condensed into ice slag and flowed through the body.
Her fists clenched, her joints turning slightly white from the exertion.
"It's been almost two years......"
Ah Yin's expression was sad.
"Do you know where this is?
"This is the Martial Spirit Palace, the most hostile and feared place of all the soul beasts......
"They looked at me as a stranger and treated me with disdain, and did you know that I died at the hands of these people......
"Bibi Dong treats me as a chess piece that can be kneaded at will, she is the descendant of Chihiro, and her martial soul is stained with the blood of a hundred thousand soul beasts!
"Beneath her sits a throne forged from the lives of countless of my kind!
"But what can I do? Without her, I wouldn't be able to stay in this Martial Spirit City......"
Su Cheng looked at Ah Yin in a daze, caught off guard by her sudden outburst.
The content of those words made his heart heavy.
And not far ahead, Ah Yin's catharsis is not over.
"I don't have a single friend here except you, and all I see every day are enemies!"
Tears flowed down her pale cheeks and then slid to the ground.
The originally bright red lips have also become pale and dry.
"Do you have to tell you in person, you can kill Tang Hao?!
"If I say this, you can only be willing to believe me, this sentence is so important to you?!
"Or maybe I'll have to do it myself one day to satisfy you?
"Except for returning to the Blue Silver Grass Forest once, in such a long time, I haven't left Martial Spirit City for half a step!
"If you don't want to believe me, why can't you just kill me at that time?
"It's easy for you to do this kind of thing! With your ruthlessness, will you also have scruples because of soft-heartedness?! β
Her voice gradually became hoarse, her red eyes trembled slightly, but she was still stubbornly looking directly at Su Cheng.
"Have you never deceived me?
"You said before that you wouldn't kill that shapeshifting soul beast, because I stopped you from killing her, so you're going to torture me like this?
"Yes, I was out of your control and didn't tell you about it.
"So, I deserve to continue to be your slave, to be your sword spirit, and to be controlled by you at will?"
Su Cheng couldn't help but be silent.
He had never seen the other party so out of shape.
Even when he was just awakened by his soul body, he was mostly ashamed and afraid, but his emotions were not particularly excited.
He opened his mouth, "I never said-"
"You have resurrected me and given me a second life.
"My life belongs to you, and it is natural for you to kill me, but why are you torturing me like this!
"Well, since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you!
"I have nothing to do with Tang Hao anymore, just do what you want to do!
"If you're not satisfied, then put the chains back on me, and with your means, it's easy to do that......"
Speaking to the back, her voice gradually deepened.
Tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
Once again, this magnificent flower garden has regained its tranquility.
Ah Yin's body collapsed to the ground, burying his head between his legs, and the whole person curled up in a ball.
ββ¦β¦ Why bother, why bother? β
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind her, and the warm palm pressed against her thin shoulder.
She finally couldn't take it anymore and turned around and buried herself in the arms of the person behind her.
Su Cheng sighed silently, his expression complicated.
Maybe Ah Yin's outburst is not just because of his attitude just now.
In the past year or so, she has been in Wuhun City, and the various external pressures she has endured are probably far beyond her imagination.
People who haven't experienced a similar situation will probably never be able to truly understand this kind of feeling.
