Chapter 17 Strike at the Heart
Chapter 17 Strike at the Heart
Compared to Huo Yuhao's subtle hints, Lu Mingfei's feigned madness seemed very natural.
"Clear your mind of distractions, empty your spirit, sense the presence of your soul power, and then follow the cultivation method to guide your soul power along the designated meridian pathways..."
Lu Mingfei felt he understood, but a problem arose—
How do I eliminate distracting thoughts?
He tried to clear his mind, but Tianmeng said that was just spacing out.
"It's alright, no rush, we'll take it slowly," Tianmeng said patiently.
He knew that Huo Yuhao had suffered a soul injury and lost his status as the chosen one of destiny, which might make him encounter difficulties in cultivation, but Tianmeng did not expect it to be this difficult!
Huo Yuhao couldn't enter a meditative state, which was practically the same as not being able to cultivate!
Seeing Lu Mingfei's state, Cupid didn't forget to take a jab at her enemy's daughter, saying with a hint of a smile, "Your lover has been ruined by your father, are you happy?"
Wang Dong'er was already heartbroken because Lu Mingfei could no longer cultivate, and Cupid added fuel to the fire, but she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
Perhaps the sea god wasn't her father at all?
Regarding her background, it's all just Cupid's speculation... So why did that person say that testing Yuhao was testing their son-in-law?
Even if the Sea God really is her father, he probably doesn't love her at all. Otherwise, why wouldn't he let her take the surname Tang? Why did he force her to fight Wang Qiu'er to the death for Yu Hao? Why did he give her, a second-level god, this so-called hidden illness? Why did he leave her alone in Douluo Continent and ignore her?
Why be so cruel to the person she loves?!
Cupid chuckled as he sensed the growing resentment emanating from Wang Dong'er.
Let them become enemies, and it would be best if your parents also became estranged... But Cupid thinks that might be difficult, as Xiao Wu seems to have lost herself for Tang San.
But it doesn't matter. Even if this is Tang San's family matter, his friends will still have some misunderstanding about him, even if it's just a little bit. When he returns in the future, he might be able to win over allies.
[You don't need to feel lost about the future yet,] Cupid's smile deepened. [The dual divine positions can erase your memories once, so naturally they can erase them a second time. Besides, your soul is already incomplete, making it even easier to manipulate it.]
Wang Dong'er kept a straight face and said indifferently, "I will not believe your attempts to sow discord."
Whether she truly believed it or not, only she knows.
"It's up to you," Cupid simply revealed the hidden information: "The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are Tang San's subordinate priests; their lives are in Tang San's hands."
In other words, no matter how much Niu Tian and Titan doted on Wang Dong'er, they still had to obey Tang San's orders.
Wang Dong'er closed her eyes, choosing to shut out her hearing.
Why not shut off hearing from the beginning? Maybe it's self-torture.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er had both withdrawn, Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips and said to Cupid, "Please find Di Tian and bring him here."
Cupid hadn't forgotten this, of course, but the Imperial Beast was still one of her own, and she still felt a little compassion for it: [The feeling of being on the verge of death isn't pleasant.]
"But there's no other way, is there?" Wang Qiu'er's face remained expressionless at this moment.
If Di Tian doesn't come, they will be trapped here and die.
But before Cupid could act, Wang Qiu'er couldn't help but ask, "Can't you separate Wang Dong'er's consciousness from my soul?"
I can't do it now. If that kid's teacher, Electrox, were still here, maybe there would be a way, but now...
Tianmeng paused in her teaching of Lu Mingfei, and Hyotei's expression also became complicated.
Old Yi, although he wasn't very noticeable and hadn't been lucid many times, was a pillar of strength whenever he was around!
No matter what difficulties they encounter, they are always able to turn danger into safety in the end.
But Yi Lao sacrificed himself to save Xue Di, so Tian Meng can be blamed, but what about Bing Di?
Huo Yuhao originally had a chance to heal Wang Qiu'er, after all, he was the successor of Electrolux, but the one here was not Huo Yuhao, but Lu Mingfei!
What does Lu Mingfei know? He doesn't even understand cultivation, let alone profound soul magic.
Therefore, Lu Mingfei had no choice but to pretend to be dead.
"Perhaps Di Tian will have a solution," Wang Qiu'er could only think.
She had relied on Di Tian since she was a child. She thought that after transforming into human form and entering human society, she would be doing quite well. However, she never expected that she would still have to rely on Di Tian to clean up her messes.
"Sit down properly, that way you'll save some energy."
After Cupid finished speaking, Wang Qiu'er did as he was told, and then an immense pressure descended upon her.
In an instant, blood began to flow from the corner of Wang Qiu'er's mouth, and soon, blood began to flow from all seven orifices.
Di Tian, who was far away in the Star Dou Great Forest, sensed the deadly crisis facing Wang Qiu'er in an instant and immediately set off to rescue her without having time to do anything else.
Lu Mingfei secretly opened his eyes and saw Wang Qiu'er's miserable state, and couldn't help but shudder.
What a beautiful anime girl! But with blood flowing from all seven orifices, her expression has become ferocious, making her look like a vengeful female ghost from a horror movie.
Tianmeng sighed as she watched Lu Mingfei's performance.
This child not only lost his memory, but it was as if his mind had been completely shattered.
Soul Masters are people who live with death. In his current state, Lu Mingfei is probably afraid of even the dead.
"Yuhao, it's alright. You still have the cultivation level of a Soul King. Even if you can't cultivate anymore, we're still here for you." Tianmeng's voice was dry. "We'll always be there for you until the end."
Lu Mingfei's heart seemed to stop for a moment.
If he cannot become a god, the best outcome for Tianmeng and the others is to grow old and die with him...
[The project team has received a valid employment contract (trial version I) for the "Exchange System Protagonist" project, based on the detected reasonable demands of the project owner.]
Lu Mingfei was pulled into the sea of consciousness again, but this time it wasn't Tianmeng who did it.
Even Tianmeng was puzzled: how did Huo Yuhao manage to enter the Sea of Spirit on his own? Didn't he remember nothing?
Then he saw the contract in Lu Mingfei's hand.
"You're not Yuhao!" Tianmeng screamed.
Lu Mingfei looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I was afraid before..."
Tianmeng didn't blame Lu Mingfei. After all, the child really didn't seem to know anything. If he hadn't pretended to have amnesia, he probably would have really died just now.
Now that Tianmeng and the other spirits know the truth, they are overjoyed.
"That means as long as the project ends smoothly, Yuhao can come back!" Hyotei cheered. "So now we need to mentor this kid named Lu Mingfei. No matter what, we have to hold on until Yuhao returns!"
Tian dreamed of many things. Looking at the bewildered boy and then at the contract, he said to Lu Mingfei, "Kid, you probably want to go back to your own world too, right?"
Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly, but he didn't know what to do.
What does it mean to "explore whether different chosen ones can maintain their status as chosen ones after exchanging worlds"?
