Chapter 429: Decision
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In Yagon’s house, everybody was very quiet. In the past two days, Firey was the only one that had said anything. However, the conversations never lasted more than a couple of sentences.
Neither Yagon nor Phoe was in the mood to chat. They were still trying to face the wolf king’s death and were busy preparing for the upcoming war. Those two things had taken up all their energy.
Tomorrow would be the third day. Yagon was supposed to visit the enemies. He went to Himmel Soan’s room and knocked on the door.
“Hello, you came earlier than I expected. I even considered the possibility of not seeing you here. Since you’re here, you must have made up your mind.”
Yagon seemed conflicted. After two days, he calmed down and began to wonder if he should go to see the two-headed tiger. He knew if he went there, he might not be able to return. If so, what would happen to Phoe?
At first, he only wanted to kill the tiger to take revenge for the wolf king, but he wasn’t sure if he was capable enough to do that.
Could he really kill the tiger?
The other side was obviously targeting him and must be well-prepared. They had planned it for a while, and he probably wouldn’t survive this journey.
He wasn’t afraid of death, but who would look after Phoe after him?
What if he was dead, and the tiger was still alive?
All those emotions mixed together, and Yagon couldn’t think straight. That was why he came to Himmel Soan.
“Mr. Soan, I don’t know what to do!” Yagon said.
He didn’t understand why Himmel Soan said he had made up his mind. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have come here.
“You’ll know what to do. Your answer will be your best choice,” said Himmel Soan.
“But if I don’t go, then the wolf king would have died for nothing.” Yagon felt his throat dry and couldn’t say another word.
“Revenge is better served cold. Sometimes it’s necessary to wait. Do you know how long I’ve looked for Gina? Five hundred years!
“Finally, I see some hope to find her.
“Why can’t you control yourself?”
Hearing this, Yagon remained silent.
He wanted to take revenge while Himmel Soan was looking for Gina. Although their goals were different, there were some similarities.
For instance, they both had a mixture of feelings.
Could he control himself?
If he couldn’t, he would have fought the tiger when he was here the other day, but he was still hesitating here.
He had so many responsibilities. He had to defeat and kill the two-head tiger, but making reckless moves wouldn’t help him.
He had so much on his mind. If he was killed by the tiger’s trap, what would happen to Phoe and the forest?
He had to consider such things, which restrained his urges.
“Mr. Soan, please teach me.” Yagon knelt on the floor.
“What do you want to learn? Do you need me to teach you how to get stronger or how to kill the tiger?
“It’s your task, not mine. Why should I teach you anything?”
Himmel Soan’s questions made Yagon lose all hope once more. He was right. Why should he teach him anything?
Yagon couldn’t give an answer. He simply assumed he could find answers from Himmel Soan. After all, he was Gina’s cultivation partner. If Gina were here, she would have taken charge of this matter.
But Himmel Soan wasn’t Gina. He didn’t have any reason to help Yagon.
“You’re capable enough to be proud of yourself, but you can’t think outside the box.
“That box is Phoe and the Dusk Soul Forest.
“Why are you worried about Phoe? If you don’t care about her, the wolf king, or the forest, will you still be so troubled?
“If you don’t care about what has happened, the whole thing will be solved automatically.” Himmel Soan didn’t beat around the bush.
The words felt like daggers stabbing into Yagon’s chest. He was utterly confused and felt very pessimistic. He was overwhelmed by all sorts of negative emotions.
Could he stop caring about Phoe, the wolf king, and the Dusk Soul Forest? If he didn’t care about those things, his life would have no meaning at all. He would live for the sake of living, without any goals or desires.
“Mr. Soan, I don’t agree. I must do the right thing; I must go to see the tiger, even if I have to die on his territory!” Yagon made up his mind.
Himmel Soan smiled. “What about Phoe?”
Yagon seemed to have anticipated it and already had an answer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made up his mind.
“Just like you, I have things I care about.
“Phoe is a Zimmer. If I die, I don’t think you’ll abandon her. You’ll take her with you and keep her safe. I don’t need to worry about her. I’ll focus all my energy on making the tiger’s life hell!”
Yagon grinned. He realized what Himmel Soan meant.
Himmel Soan wasn’t trying to make him lose hope. He said those words because he wanted Yagon to be certain of what he wanted.
“Since you’ve made up your mind, do you have a plan? How are you going to deal with their ambush?” Himmel Soan smiled at Yagon.
Now that Yagon understood him, he didn’t mind giving him some help. Of course, it would only be limited to offering suggestions.
Himmel Soan only had 10% of his power left, so he couldn’t do much in physical combat.
“The wolf king, the spider, and the ice snake are all dead. My opponents now are the four-winged bat, the two-headed tiger, and the cunning three-eyed cat.
“There’s also a very unstable factor!”
