Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health

Chapter 767: Chapter 300: A Web of Lies, Calculations Everywhere

The solitary smoke rises straight in the vast desert, the long river reflects the round sunset.

Jiang Sha sees a dream symbolizing death in the form of that round moon, and the scene is a vast desert. At this time, the sun slants westward, and the round moon on the other side of the sky casts a faint glow.

Clear and cold.

Fan Wubing appeared in the desert without any warning, all around was yellow sand, and the sky was incredibly clear.

He looked around in all directions but couldn’t find any color other than sandy yellow. He couldn’t help but think,

"A dream is a fragmented feedback of self-consciousness... She said she has feigned death over three thousand times to comprehend the true essence of death in this dream. I don’t know what she has gone through, maybe I can glean some insights from this dream."

Fan Wubing has always wanted to know what kind of person Jiang Sha is, but has never been able to see through her.

After coming here, he cannot help but want to understand her through her dream.

Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Sha’s voice suddenly rang in his ears,

"Thinking about me?"

Fan Wubing turned around in surprise, only to see Jiang Sha standing beside him with a smile.

He asked in shock, "What’s going on? Isn’t this your dream? Why do you appear to be awake!"

Jiang Sha clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly, curiously observing Fan Wubing,

"You seem not to want me to be awake."

"If a person is awake, how can it still be a dream? It should be called a world of will." Fan Wubing said with some regret.

"What are you regretting?" Jiang Sha asked with a smile.

Fan Wubing said blandly, "It’s nothing."

Jiang Sha chuckled. A faint light flashed in the depths of her pupils,

"You want to engage with my past through my dream, to probe into my inner world, right?"

"How is that possible! I don’t have such idle thoughts. I’m busy comprehending the Death Dao!"

Jiang Sha laughed sneakily, "As expected, a tsundere."

"What nonsense." Fan Wubing awkwardly changed the topic, "Oh, I just realized that in the dream, you’re not in a wheelchair."

"In my dream, of course, I’m in charge."

Fan Wubing laughed, "Why don’t you make yourself a bit fatter then?"

"Why, do you think I’m too thin?"

"Not at all." Fan Wubing realized he had misspoken and quickly responded. Jiang Sha had become so frail because she was cursed by the Heavenly Dao, constantly losing flesh and blood.

Jiang Sha smiled slightly, "I won’t blame you, why the rush?"

Fan Wubing felt that Jiang Sha seemed more lively lately, not like before when she was like an old lady.

This should be a good thing.

The two stood side by side, watching the big sun sink below the distant horizon, welcoming the platinum moon rising into the sky.

This moon was much larger than the one in the real world, and its surface showed rune-like reliefs visible to the naked eye.

In the silence, they did not speak for a while.

After a while, Fan Wubing suddenly spoke,

"I want to ask you a question."

Jiang Sha gave a slight nod.

Fan Wubing asked, "I killed the Flesh Demon Lord, the Charm Demon Lord, the Beast Demon Lord, and the Rot Demon Lord, one after another. Was this all arranged by you?"

Jiang Sha laughed, "I’m not that powerful."

"But judging from the results, I now control five types of Demon Dao." Fan Wubing looked at Jiang Sha, "There are nine types of Demon Dao, only four left. What happens if I collect them all?"

Jiang Sha tilted her head back, "I don’t know. No one has ever collected them all."

"True enough." Fan Wubing said lightly, "This is about it."

"What?"

"The Demon Dao." Fan Wubing said, "The other Demon Lords were only due to direct conflict with me that I killed them and took their Demon Dao. But now, the only ones left are you, An An, Lv Liang, who are all my friends. As for that Greedy Demon Lord, I fear is one of us too."

Jiang Sha smiled, "You think a lot."

"I’m actually quite scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Afraid that one day, I might have to face you like I did with the Demon Lords I killed." Fan Wubing said, "I’ve thought, is my inescapable fate to collect all the Demon Dao? Thank you for putting my mind at ease." He said with a smile, "After all, you wouldn’t lie to me."

Jiang Sha looked at him, her gaze showing a gentle smile,

"Yes."

All around was silent, it seemed even the air was not moving. Such an environment made Fan Wubing feel very relaxed, without worrying about anything. Unknowingly, he revealed many of his unshared thoughts to Jiang Sha. Jiang Sha was a great listener, not giving him any pressure.

While talking, Fan Wubing brought up Pei Weiyi,

"Do you still remember her?"

"Yes."

Fan Wubing told the story of his entanglement with Pei Weiyi somewhat embarrassedly,

"...In any case, I don’t know how to end it now."

Jiang Sha laughed, "Is this what you call sacrificing your appearance? Being the Charm Demon, it’s amazing you can pull it off."

Fan Wubing looked up at the sky, "Not really. I didn’t lose anything." He touched his nose, "From a man’s perspective, I benefited completely. Not only did I get the Divination Skill, I also managed to... ahem. And I don’t have to take responsibility."

"So, your conscience can’t handle it?"

"Sigh. I thought about just becoming a shameless rogue, ripping off the facade. She can’t beat me anyway." Fan Wubing pondered, "But I feel incredibly annoyed by this in my heart." He looked at Jiang Sha, "You know her. What do you think she’d do if she learned the truth?"

Jiang Sha thought about it, "She would find every possible way to kill you. She practices the Divination Skill known as Supreme Forgetting Emotions, highly valuing a clear mind and a pure body. You deceiving her physically is secondary because she is a strong-willed person; losing her chastity wouldn’t affect her much. But the key is that you deceived her emotionally, which is equivalent to destroying her Dao foundation."
