Chapter 225 Unrepentant Appeal (9)
Wangyou was born with everything, and even after being bound to the system and going on to experience various small worlds, she never suffered much hardship.
Wen Ruohan doesn't seem like someone who has suffered any great hardship, so why does she harbor such deep resentment towards the human world?
What Wangyou didn't know was that most noble families were never peaceful. They would fight to the death for a little bit of resources, and it was not uncommon for brothers and sisters to kill each other. The Xie family was no exception, but she was gone before the fight even reached her.
Later in the world, with the system providing her with a cheat code, and her own continuous learning, many people were suppressed by her before they even had a chance to speak, while others were forcefully suppressed by her after they did speak.
In addition, Wangyou herself has a somewhat lazy and indifferent nature, so she is even less able to understand this kind of emotion. Of course, the most direct reason is that she is not fully developed in love and her understanding of love is not yet open.
The fragments were placed on a somewhat bloody platform, surrounded by puppets. Wangyou glanced at the platform, then at the fragments above. Wen Ruohan had indeed obtained two fragments.
However, these two fragments were stained with a lot of blood, so even if Wangyou got them, she couldn't fuse them immediately. She had to remove the resentment from them first.
Wangyou glared at the old man above her who had increased her workload, feeling resentful. She thought that anyone who forced her to work overtime was a bad person, and she couldn't vent her anger without giving him a good beating.
So, Wangyou took off the invisibility talisman and appeared in front of Wen Ruohan like the wind, raising her fist and giving him a good beating.
Poor Wen Ruohan, an old man, was brutally beaten before he could even see the enemy's face. This beating caused his spiritual energy to dissipate.
Not satisfied with punching him a few times, Wangyou took out the golden brick. She looked at Wen Ruohan, then at the brick. She remembered that this brick could easily kill even a god, so using it to hit Wen Ruohan was a waste. One hit of the brick would probably kill him.
Wangyou put away the brick, then rummaged through her armory, finally pulling out a rather ordinary whip, because it had barbs on it.
Wangyou, wielding her whip, lashed Wen Ruohan repeatedly, leaving him covered in welts. After finishing, Wangyou loosened her wrists, glanced at the shards on the platform, and indeed, the resentment had lessened considerably.
With a wave of her hand, Wangyou collected the fragments, then whipped Wen Ruohan up. Wangyou didn't forget to feed Wen Ruohan a pill, otherwise it wouldn't be fun if he died.
They then carried the person out of the main hall.
It was a little quiet outside. Wangyou scanned the area with her divine sense and found that most people had been taken to the back mountain by Wen Chao. Coincidentally, the last fragment was in the back mountain, so Wangyou carried Wen Ruohan and headed to the back mountain.
"What are you all doing standing at this cave entrance?" Wangyou threw the person she was carrying in a parabolic arc directly at the shouting Wen Chao.
"Forget your worries."
"Second sister."
What did you just throw?
"Wen Ruohan."
"That bloody mess is Wen Ruohan, you can barely make out a human shape!" Wei Wuxian looked at Wen Chao, who had been knocked unconscious, and then at the indistinct human shape on the ground. He suddenly realized that Wangyou had held back when she beat him when they were kids.
"Second sister, you've already killed Wen Ruohan!"
"I have to get rid of him. This bastard has added so much work to my workload. My Dao heart won't be stable if I don't give him a good beating," Wangyou asked seriously.
"A-Xian, A-Yao, are you sure you're okay with leaving these people in your care?"
“Of course, no problem!” Wei Wuxian took out his flute Chenqing, and Meng Yao took out his guqin Zhiyao. Both of them were quite accomplished in music, so a sword was not necessarily the only weapon.
"Miss Wangyou!" Disciples from other families greeted her.
Wangyou ignored all of this, took a deep breath, and walked directly into the cave. The others quickly followed.
The cave was dark and damp, and had a slight stench. Wangyou instinctively shut off her sense of smell. After walking for a while, she came to a pool with a huge tortoise shell standing in the center.
"Slaughtering Xuanwu!" Wangyou murmured. The place the Yin energy pointed to was the location of the Slaughtering Xuanwu. This last fragment was probably inside the Slaughtering Xuanwu.
Forget-Me-Not is in a bit of a dilemma. The thought of crawling into this thing's body is unpleasant, and the sticky feeling underfoot is also uncomfortable.
So, Wangyou turned her gaze to the group of immortal disciples, "There is a fragment of Yin Iron inside this Slaughtering Xuanwu that you mentioned. Who among you can go in and retrieve it?"
After he finished speaking, the disciples of the immortal sects looked around, looking at the sky and the ground, but not at Wangyou. Wangyou couldn't help but feel disappointed. "No wonder the various sects of the immortal sects have been retreating. It turns out that they have only taught a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death!"
No one spoke. Although some people were unconvinced, they all lowered their heads and pretended to be quails when they thought of Wen Ruohan's miserable appearance.
"I'll go," Lan Wangji, Jin Zixuan, and Jiang Cheng said in unison.
"The three of you are doing alright," Wangyou smiled. "But Lan Wangji, you have an injury on your leg, so you shouldn't go in. Are you two alright?"
"No." Jin Zixuan and Jiang Cheng glared at each other, then said in unison.
"Alright, you two should cooperate when you go in. I'll kill this Slaughtering Black Tortoise first." As its name suggests, the Slaughtering Black Tortoise has killed many people. Although it has been trapped here for many years, its body is still filled with murderous aura and resentment. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to trap the Ghost Seal fragments.
Wangyou used her hand as a sword, and the crowd seemed to hear the roar of a dragon. But then a silver dragon phantom appeared behind Wangyou. Tulu Xuanwu sensed the danger and raised its head from the water, but before it could react, its neck was severed.
Then, Wangyou drew a few talismans in the air and pasted them onto the massive body of the Slaughtering Xuanwu. "Alright, you can go in now."
Wangyou turned around and pasted two more talismans on their backs, saying, "These talismans will protect you from the influence of the Yin Iron."
The two got ready and went inside. The huge tortoise shell was tattered and contained all sorts of things. Jin Zixuan had a severe case of mysophobia since childhood, so it was really not easy to get him to go in.
"Why don't you go in yourself?" Lan Wangji asked curiously, this person even killed the Slaughtering Xuanwu at will.
"It's so dirty inside! I'm a girl, and I care about my appearance too!" When everyone heard that this was the reason, the other members of the Jin family thought that their young master seemed to be a clean freak as well.
Inside the Xuanwu's body, the two searched on one side, but found nothing for a long time until they saw a sword stuck in the center. At the same time, they both felt a burning sensation on their backs, remembering what Wangyou had said when she came in.
"This should be the sword!"
"Then let's take him out." Jiang Cheng took the lead and reached out to grasp the sword hilt. In an instant, he felt countless sounds ringing in his ears and involuntarily released the sword.
"What's wrong? You can't even pull out a sword!" Jin Zixuan asked, puzzled. "I'll pull it out!"
Then Jiang Cheng sensed it, and Jin Zixuan sensed it too. Fortunately, they were protected by a talisman. Finally, the two of them worked together to pull out the sword and then stumbled out of the body of the Slaughtering Xuanwu.
The ground inside the cave shook violently.
