Bullshitting yet another one
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 14:33:10 +0000 UTCThe barrier around Yun Wuji flickered for a moment before stopping, and the Golden Crow failed to bypass it and destroy his clothes.
"Hmph, you have a good defense," the golden crow snorted.
Yun Wuji ignored the golden crow and took a robe from his storage. He walked over to Huan Caiyi and draped it over her.
"Why?" Huan Caiyi raised her head and asked, "Am I really that repulsive to you?"
"Of course not. But as I said, you're just not my type. Even though you're probably ten times my age, you look like a child, I can't muster any sexual desire when I look at you," Yun Wuji said gently. He noticed that, although she was keeping her composure, she was on the verge of tears. "You don't have to do this. Why are you treating yourself so cheaply? You'll get your revenge very soon. Besides, even if you manage to inherit the Golden Crow bloodline, your strength won't rise immediately."
"I know! But even then, if I don't inherit the Golden Crow legacy, my clan's bloodline will end with me!" Huan Caiyi said.
She had a strong and intelligent mindset, so how could she not understand this? Even so, she still needed to inherit the legacy to raise her strength and produce offspring with a pure bloodline in the future to pass down the family's bloodline.
Why did half of the guardian families side with Duke Huai Palace? It's because they lost faith in the royal family! The only one left was a weak woman, and they saw that the family's bloodline had been severed.
"Sigh, since I already helped, I'll help you until the end," Yun Wuji sighed and said.
"So... are you going to do it with me?" Huan Caiyi raised her head, looking at him with hope in her eyes. Never in her life did she think she'd be so desperate, so eager, to offer her body to someone like this.
"No," Yun Wuji shook his head, and the light in Huan Caiyi's eyes dimmed. But then he added, "I have a better way, one that will not only let you inherit the Golden Crow's bloodline but also make you incredibly strong."
"Really?!" Huan Caiyi's spirit lifted immediately, hope sparking once more.
Yun Wuji raised his hand, and from his index finger, a single silver drop of blood with a golden hue seeped out. "This is a drop of Dragon God's blood," he said. "It's far more valuable than the Golden Crow or Phoenix blood. Normal inheritors only receive one drop of dragon blood."
"Are you seriously going to give her your Dragon God's blood? Ridiculous! You're sacrificing your future potential!" The Golden Crow suddenly exclaimed, her tone incredulous.
"..." Huan Caiyi looked at the drop of blood, then at Yun Wuji. She had always thought he was someone with ulterior motives, helping them only to gain something in return. But after hearing the Golden Crow's words, she started to think that maybe, just maybe, he was genuinely helping her with no strings attached.
"I also have a technique that works well with the dragon blood. As long as you cultivate it, you'll be able to bear the power of the Golden Crow's flame easily," Yun Wuji said softly, ignoring the Golden Crow.
He thought to himself with a smirk, 'I don't want to bang you when you're flat, but I wouldn't mind if you became thicker. Hehe.'
"This drop is precious. Why are you giving it to me? What is your goal?" Huan Caiyi asked, not showing any joy on her face. She voiced the question that had been on her mind for a long time.
"I know what you're worried about. You think I have some sinister plan up my sleeve, but honestly, I'm just helping my disciple's family take revenge, and by extension, I'm helping you too," Yun Wuji explained patiently. He then waved his hand, and a green pearl appeared. "I have the ability to obliterate anyone on this planet; I don't need any plots or schemes."
"The Sky Poison Pearl!" The golden crow's voice was filled with shock. "Not only did you master the light profound energy, but you also possess one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures!"
'Why is this spirit acting like a commentator?' Yun Wuji thought.
"This is the Sky Poison Pearl. It's one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures, like the Samsara Mirror that the Yun Clan possesses. It can unleash a deadly poison capable of killing anyone on this planet," Yun Wuji explained as he put the pearl away.
"Hey, boy, stop ignoring me!" The golden crow scowled. She was the great golden crow, yet this little boy was treating her like air!
Huan Caiyi tried to unsee the golden crow and bowed to Yun Wuji, "I am sorry for misunderstanding your kind intention, please forgive me."
Looking at him, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. Many times, when she looked at the state of affairs on the continent, she would feel helpless and even hopeless. There was no one to lean on; everyone around her had their own selfish motives.
But this man...
This man is only helping her out of goodwill; he doesn't want anything in return...
Yun Wuji smiled warmly and lifted her up. "You've been surrounded by traitors and jackals vying for your throne. It's only natural for you to be overly suspicious."
This was also why he hadn't taken the initiative to meet her when he passed by the Illusory Demon Realm for the first time. He knew she wouldn't believe him and would probably attack him as well.
"Alright, close your eyes and focus. I'll help you refine this drop of blood," Yun Wuji said.
Huan Caiyi nodded and sat cross-legged, her eyes closed. Yun Wuji tapped her forehead with his index finger, and the blood entered her body. He did the same as he had with Gong Yuxian and Murong Qianxue.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" After helping her, Yun Wuji turned around and spoke to the golden crow.
He was quite annoyed by this spirit. This Golden Crow's soul's temperament was completely unlike the Phoenix's soul and the Dragon God's souls which commanded respect but was still amiable. Not only was she violent, but she frequently sealed off others by force and did not allow them to leave until her objective was achieved.
All according to her own likes, completely ignoring other people's will, It was so overbearing that it was inhumane.
However, from what he read in the novel, even though it was annoying, it could still be reasonable and helpful at times. It had helped Yun Che many times until it exhausted its energy and disappeared.
"This noble is curious about you, how can a mere mortal like you cultivate light profound energy and even possess the Sky Profound Pearl?" The Golden Crow didn't make a fuss about being ignored, she asked Yun Wuji.
"If you want to know, there is no harm in telling you, but first, I want to take the lightning seed from here," Yun Wuji didn't answer immediately; he requested the thunder seed, it was his main goal for coming here. As for helping Huan Caiyi or perhaps getting the Golden Crow's legacy, it was secondary.
While divine legacy is powerful, it doesn't give him any additional boost in his combat strength; at most, it gives him more attacking options.
"The Lightning Seed? This noble one can give it to you, but I also have a condition," the Golden Crow remained silent for a moment before speaking. "I want you to give up the Phoenix bloodline and inherit my Golden Crow bloodline."
She had been interested in this mortal from the moment he stepped into the valley. Not only did he possess light profound energy and a Profound Heavenly Treasure, but she also couldn't see through his cultivation level!
He was the only one worthy of inheriting the Golden Crow's legacy on this planet and perhaps the whole primal chaos.
If it weren't for his strength, she wouldn't have bothered negotiating and would have erased the Phoenix bloodline from his body directly.
"Giving up the Phoenix bloodline? I refuse!" Yun Wuji shot back without hesitation.
I know it's overused by now, but I couldn't resist.
"Why? The Golden Crow's bloodline is a hundred times more honorable than the Phoenix's, and the power of the Golden Crow's flames is far superior to that of the Phoenix!" the Golden Crow said arrogantly. "If you give it up, this noble one will grant you ten times what the Phoenix has given you!"
"Ten times? Heh, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but I doubt you can offer that much," Yun Wuji chuckled and shook his head. "The Phoenix gave me everything she had, her bloodline, Phoenix Soul Origin, and even her Nirvana."
Screech!
As he spoke, an extremely resonant and sharp Phoenix cry sounded imposingly, and a golden Phoenix silhouette, trailing long phoenix feathers, soared into the sky.
"Impossible! Why? Why would she give you her Soul Origin and even her one and only Phoenix Nirvana?" The Golden Crow couldn't believe it; her voice was filled with incredulity.
"Not only the Phoenix, but even the Azure Dragon also gave me his Dragon Soul." As he said that, the silhouette of a gigantic Azure Dragon flashed behind him.
"What is it about you, a mere mortal, that they would go to such lengths?!"
"Perhaps because I am their only hope," Yun Wuji started bullshiting another divine spirit.
"Only hope? You mean..."
"It's hard to believe without seeing it for yourself. How about taking a look at my memories?" Yun Wuji proposed. Unlike before, he didn't need to hypnotize himself. With the Azure Dragon Soul and his own strength, he could control the memories he chose to show her.
