Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Transfer of the Male Protagonist’s Halo
Blood streamed from the empty socket of one of her eyes. She looked absolutely horrifying.
Her one remaining eye was filled with terror.
"You—you stay away—"
’This is terrifying.’
’Song Wanning is a psycho!’
’She’s a complete psycho!!!’
"Not behaving, are we..."
Song Wanning wagged her finger. As Ye Chuxue watched in horror, she slowly reached out her hand.
With a hard tug, she gouged out the second eyeball as well.
"Ahhh—"
Ye Chuxue shrieked in agony again, her screams so piercing they made Song Wanning’s eardrums ache.
She furrowed her brow and moved her foot. The next second, Ye Chuxue began writhing on the ground in pain.
Her wretched and crazed state was a world away from the Ye Chuxue she used to be.
Watching her crazed display, Song Wanning felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
’They should all have a good taste of the pain I suffered in my past life.’
Even now, she remembered the disdain in Ye Chuxue’s eyes in her past life, looking at her as if she were trash.
Now, those detestable eyes were finally gone.
A flash of madness crossed Song Wanning’s eyes. She suddenly bent down, grabbed Ye Chuxue’s hair, and forced her head up to face her.
She then forcibly shoved the eyeballs in her hand into Ye Chuxue’s mouth.
"GACK— GACK—"
Ye Chuxue immediately started dry-heaving, her whole body convulsing.
"Hahahaha—"
"Hahaha—"
Song Wanning let out a wild, cathartic laugh. Her arrogant display was the very image of a petty villain gloating over her triumph.
But so what?
’I am vicious. I am a psycho. What can anyone do to me?’
"Hahaha—"
Song Wanning laughed aloud once more, as if to vent all the repressed pain and frustration in her heart.
Bai Yang was finally dead, and she had, for the moment, crippled Ye Chuxue.
The stifling pressure that had been weighing on her heart finally dissipated.
Song Wanning’s head snapped up, her eyes suddenly erupting with a shockingly brilliant light.
’The Heavenly Dao, it seems, isn’t so terrifying after all.’
...
Ye Chuxue’s screams gradually faded.
They only stopped when she ceased moving altogether.
"Tsk. The woman fainted from the pain!"
The Golden Small Sword popped out. It stared at Ye Chuxue with disgust, looking like it wanted nothing more than to dismember her on the spot.
"Sister, what should we do with her? We can’t kill her... and we can’t just keep her with us."
"If we take her back, given how much the Heavenly Dao protects her, it’ll definitely cause trouble."
Thinking about it, Ye Chuxue was a real hot potato; they couldn’t keep her, but they couldn’t just get rid of her either.
"Let’s just leave her here."
Song Wanning’s expression was cold. With the resentment in her heart dispersed, her entire demeanor seemed much more peaceful.
The Golden Small Sword stared at her for a few seconds, then, as if realizing something, it suddenly said, "Sister, right now, you’re more like the you I remember."
Like the unrestrained, proud Song Wanning from its memories.
Not the sharp, hostile Song Wanning filled with malice.
Song Wanning was taken aback by its words. After a moment of surprise, she smiled.
She reached out and stroked the Golden Small Sword, her expression softening.
"Ye Chuxue will recover eventually. There’s no need to force things. Let’s just focus on our own business for now."
’Rather than waste time, it’s better to improve myself.’
’Even if Ye Chuxue gets back up, I’ll just knock her down again.’
’I’ll make sure she can never recover, that she’ll forever be crushed beneath my feet!’
"Right! The most important thing for us now is the Dragon Vein. These people aren’t worth our time!"
The Golden Small Sword nodded. Once the Dragon Vein was awakened, the Song Family’s future would be completely different, and its master’s future would be immeasurable.
Even the Heavenly Dao would have to think twice before acting.
Having decided on a course of action, Song Wanning stepped forward and yanked the Storage Ring off Ye Chuxue’s finger.
She no longer needed to hide her actions through the black market; she erased Ye Chuxue’s Divine Soul Mark right then and there.
The treasures and collected Medicinal Herbs inside the Storage Ring all ended up in Song Wanning’s possession.
Then, she looked at the Memory Stone, a cold sneer flashing in her eyes.
’Ye Chuxue learned to be clever this time, but how could I possibly give someone else the chance to slander me?’
With a tight squeeze of her hand, the Memory Stone turned directly to ash and scattered in the wind.
A gentle breeze lifted the ends of Song Wanning’s hair. With a chic turn, she walked away without a moment’s hesitation.
As for Ye Chuxue, she didn’t spare her another glance.
...
「Inside the training chamber」
Song Wanning watched her avatar’s crisp movements, a complex look in her eyes.
Even though their Divine Souls were connected and she, the main body, controlled its every choice and action, looking at the avatar still gave her the strange feeling they were twin sisters.
The feeling was quite magical.
It was as if no matter how dangerous or secret the matter, she now had someone to share it with, someone to accompany her.
It felt less like an avatar and more like a close confidante.
Song Wanning averted her gaze and took out the soul lamp from her Storage Ring.
The soul lamp belonging to Bai Yang had already been extinguished.
The person she had hated for two lifetimes was finally gone.
A cold glint appeared in her eyes; her only regret was not being able to end Bai Yang’s life sooner.
Now, only Gu Qingyuan and Ye Chuxue remained. Those two...
Song Wanning narrowed her eyes. ’One by one. I won’t miss a single one!’
Pulling her thoughts back, she looked at the ancient text in her hands, a faint hint of worry in her eyes.
To this day, she still hadn’t found a way to awaken the Dragon Vein.
But she wouldn’t give up. She soon threw herself back into her research with her full attention.
...
「In the forbidden land of the Demon Race」
Gu Qingyuan had been dragged to a sacrificial altar by a Great Demon. Just as it was about to sacrifice him, it suddenly noticed a wisp of heavenly mist descend from the sky and land on Gu Qingyuan.
The Great Demon was shocked. It rushed over to inspect him, looking him up and down, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"What was that just now?"
The Great Demon muttered to itself for a while before deciding to just proceed with the sacrifice.
Once it completed the sacrifice, the Mountain God of the Demon Race’s forbidden land would appear and grant it Tao Essence.
As long as it comprehended the Tao Essence, it could undergo its tribulation and ascend.
This was its only chance to ascend.
Soon, Gu Qingyuan was secured on the altar.
A beam of blood-red light struck Gu Qingyuan, followed by a strange sound.
The Great Demon piously recited its vows, taking the opportunity to state its extravagant wish.
But its joy was short-lived, because Gu Qingyuan, on the altar, had somehow woken up.
Furthermore, the restrictive formations around the altar shattered, and all the energy was absorbed into his body.
His injuries also healed in an instant.
He went from being severely injured and unconscious to having a healthy complexion and a long, steady breath in just a few moments.
The Great Demon’s jaw dropped in shock. Before it could figure out what had happened, Gu Qingyuan exploded into action and lunged at it.
After just a few exchanges, the Great Demon became another soul claimed by his sword.
Gu Qingyuan stood up, boundless killing intent flashing in his eyes.
He removed the Great Demon’s inner core and immediately rushed out of the cave.
Chuxue had been gone for a long time. He had to find her. Nothing could happen to her!
