Chapter 168 Confession
"No, you can't say kill me," hearing the killing intent in Ye Leng'an's words, the remnant soul also felt scared, and said quickly, "If you kill me, you won't know anything."
"However, I still can't ask anything out of your mouth now!" Ye Leng'an sneered and said, "So, you have no use value. Besides, you don't know how many years have been dead. I don't seem to want to kill you, I want to completely destroy you."
She wasn't kidding, but she really planned to do it. For this remnant soul that caused her tragic end in her first life, she did not intend to let him continue to live in this world.
"I said, I will say anything," the voice of the remnant soul trembled a little, and at this moment he didn't care about concealing it just now, "as long as you let me go, then no matter what you want to know, I will tell you."
"Who the **** are you?" It was Huangfu Ruiling who spoke, "When a person dies, why do you still survive in the form of a remnant soul? You must have been a cultivator before your death!"
Even the powerful beings in the hidden world may not be able to leave a remnant soul after death. Moreover, looking at the aura of the remnant soul, it doesn't look like a powerful cultivator.
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling speak, Ye Leng'an didn't make any plans, but waited aside, quietly listening to the remnant soul's answer.
Then there was a long silence, and it was unknown whether the remnant soul was not going to answer, or was thinking about how to answer.
Huangfu Ruiling frowned, then his eyes froze.
Soon, the remnant soul begged for mercy again, and immediately began to answer like spitting out beans, "My real name is Zhong Yu Zhenhua, the patriarch of the Zhong Yu family in the Hidden World. Later, when I went to a secret realm alone, I died there. Before I fell, I was already at the early stage of the golden core stage. Originally, I almost lost my soul, but at that time, I carried a family secret treasure with me, so I left behind a wisp of remnant soul. "
After hearing the remnant soul's words, Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed with clarity.
"You know?" Ye Leng'an saw Huangfu Ruiling's appearance, and immediately guessed, "Your mother's surname is also Zhong Yu!"
"That is to say, you also have the blood of our Zhong Yu family, don't you?" The voice of the remnant soul was a little surprised.
Perhaps he felt that with the existence of a blood relationship, perhaps he could escape today.
Huangfu Ruiling didn't even look at the remnant soul, his attention was all on Ye Leng'an, and when faced with Ye Leng'an's questions, he answered every question, "Although my mother's surname is Zhong Yu, she is not very close to the Zhong Yu family in the Hidden World."
"As for Zhong Yu Zhenhua, in the Hidden World, there are quite a few people who know about it. This person disappeared suddenly three hundred years ago, and the treasure of Zhong Yu's family - the five-colored stone disappeared with him. According to him, it should be the five-colored stone that saved his remnant soul."
"Over the years, Zhong Yu's family has been looking for the whereabouts of the five-colored stone. You know, with this five-colored stone sitting in the town, the Zhong Yu family's cultivation will be faster and the family heritage will be stronger."
Ye Leng'an nodded, then looked at the remnant soul, and said directly, "Where's the colorful stone? Is it on your body now?"
"The five-colored stone has been refined." The remnant soul also said truthfully, "It is because of refining the five-colored stone and absorbing all the spiritual energy in it that I can keep this remnant soul and live on in the world."
"However, obviously, you are not willing to live in this way!" Ye Leng'an sneered, "Honestly, what's going on between you and Ye Xiyuan?"
Ye Xiyuan was just an ordinary person, but she suddenly became so outstanding, obviously it was the help of this remnant soul. However, she still couldn't figure out what kind of relationship they had.
With Huangfu Ruiling's evil aura, the remnant soul didn't dare to hide anything, and could only tell everything in detail.
It turned out that the power obtained after the five-colored stone was refined, after so many years of attrition, was almost exhausted. Zhong Yuzhenhua was not willing to dissipate between heaven and earth like this, so he kept thinking of ways to see if he could be resurrected.
Later, by chance, he got a luck that could deprive others, and when the luck he got reached a certain level, he could use the aura of heaven and earth to reshape his body.
However, he is just a remnant soul, and it is impossible to obtain the luck of others. People in the hidden world are almost all cultivators, and their vigilance is too high, so it is impossible to believe what other people say casually. Therefore, he left the hidden world, came to the mortal world, chose Ye Xiyuan as the carrier, and used Ye Xiyuan to obtain the luck of others.
Because it is afraid that Ye Xiyuan will be suspicious, it pretends to be a system, and then tells Ye Xiyuan that it can help her become the favored woman of heaven, so as to gain Ye Xiyuan's trust, and then use Ye Xiyuan to achieve her own goals.
Of course, it also gives Ye Xiyuan a little benefit from time to time, otherwise I am afraid that Ye Xiyuan will be suspicious. Of course, as for those points and so on, he just said them casually, in order to confuse Ye Xiyuan and make her really think that it is a so-called system.
"Unexpectedly, you are quite fashionable!" Ye Leng'an said with a sneer, "I know the system and so on."
"I learned this after I came to the mortal world." Zhong Yuzhenhua quickly responded, "I dare not let Ye Xiyuan know that I am just a remnant soul, just because I am afraid that she will have some bad thoughts."
He has lived for hundreds of years, no matter what he does, he will naturally be very careful.
"Then why did you choose Ye Xiyuan?" Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed sharply, "Don't try to hide it from me, otherwise, I will make your death miserable."
While speaking, Ye Leng'an raised her hand, and a cluster of small flames appeared on her fingertips. The flame was very small, but it seemed to contain endless power, capable of burning everything in the world.
When the flame appeared, Zhong Yuzhenhua felt his soul tremble. Moreover, it was precisely because there was only that wisp of remnant soul left that he could feel the threat of the flame to him even more. Now he was surrounded by evil spirits, and there was still the threat of the flame not far away.
One of these two is enough to make him dissipate directly into the world. Now both of them are threatening him. He felt that he was really unlucky. Before that, he had been hiding it very well. But this time when he was about to attack Ye Leng'an, he was caught.
"Say!" Ye Leng'an shouted coldly.
Zhong Yuzhenhua quickly responded, "This Ye Xiyuan is very special. She is not an ordinary person. Her soul is a little strange. That's why I chose her. Later, I found out that she was actually reborn."
"Rebirth?" Ye Leng'an couldn't help but exclaimed.
This is something she never expected, Ye Xiyuan was also born again. Why did Ye Xiyuan keep targeting her like this in the first life, and even killed her, then all this has an explanation. In her first life, Ye Xiyuan should have been reborn, and with the help of this remnant soul, she has been targeting her. At that time, she didn't have any self-protection ability at all, that's why she was hurt so badly.
I just don't know what Ye Xiyuan experienced before her rebirth, and why she must be hurt so badly after her rebirth.
Huangfu Ruiling on the side couldn't help but glance at Ye Leng'an, with a trace of inexplicable meaning in his eyes. However, he didn't say anything.
"Yes!" Zhong Yuzhenhua continued, "Before she was reborn, it was said that she had a miserable life because of you, so she kept targeting you like this."
"Hehe, besides this reason, there should be your reason!" Ye Leng'an's mouth curled up with a sarcasm, "Don't say, you are not contributing to this. If you say it like this, you probably won't believe it yourself!"
There was another silence, and after a long time, Zhong Yuzhenhua spoke again, "Because your luck is very strong. As long as I can get your luck, then I can reshape my body faster."
He didn't know the reason, Ye Leng'an's luck was very strong, not like ordinary people can have. Every time he saw Ye Leng'an's luck, he couldn't stop being greedy. It is also because of this that he always guides Ye Xiyuan to deal with Ye Leng'an intentionally or unintentionally.
However, because Ye Xiyuan himself was full of hostility towards Ye Leng'an, he was also very easy to guide.
"How can you see other people's luck?" Huangfu Ruiling interrupted suddenly, "Even when you were alive, you probably didn't have such ability. Why would you know after death?"
Generally speaking, everyone's luck is doomed, but it will also change in ordinary life. But something as illusory as luck is impossible to see, or even feel. Now Zhong Yu Zhenhua only had a wisp of remnant soul left, how could he see such a heaven-defying thing as luck!
"It means that I have obtained the exercises that can reshape the physical body. After practicing, I will be able to see other people's luck." Zhong Yuzhenhua did not dare to hide anything at this moment, "I obtained that exercise unintentionally in that secret realm."
"Where is the secret place?" A cold light flashed in Huangfu Ruiling's eyes, "Don't try to hide it."
"It's in the Kunlun Mountains of the Hidden World!" Sensing the cold air emanating from Huangfu Ruiling's body, Zhong Yuzhenhua answered quickly, "The secret realm opens every hundred years, and I happened to be on Kunlun Mountain that time, so I was able to enter."
"Did you try to do something in the restaurant before?" Huangfu Ruiling asked, remembering a previous incident.
"At that time, Ye Xiyuan wanted to know information about you, so I wanted to check it out."
It's just that he didn't expect that he was attacked by Huangfu Ruiling before he could do anything. At that time, his soul and body suffered a lot of damage. He cultivated for a long time and secretly absorbed a lot of luck from Ye Xiyuan before he finally recovered. Originally, after recovering, he wanted to make up for it by absorbing luck as soon as possible through Ye Xiyuan.
However, later Ye Xiyuan became more and more useless, failing almost every time. Even Nangong Xuyao's powerful luck could not be absorbed because Ye Xiyuan lost his favorability.
Now that all the things that should be known are known, Huangfu Ruiling turned his head, looked at Ye Leng'an beside him, and said, "An'an, what do you think, how should we deal with this thing?"
"Since he is a remnant soul, it means that he should not live in this world." A cold light flashed in Ye Leng'an's eyes, and when he looked at the light, the killing intent on his body was very obvious. "Besides, the skill he practiced is obviously an evil skill. It is even more unacceptable to take away the luck of others."
"You said you would let me go." Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Ye Leng'an, Zhong Yuzhenhua became anxious, "Now that I've said everything, you can't go back on what you say."
Now he is in the state of soul, although it is only a ray of remnant soul, but this will make him feel more emotionally sensitive to people, so he can feel that Ye Leng'an really wants to kill him directly. This kind of cognition also made him feel endless fear. Although it is only a state of remnant soul now, it still exists in this world after all. If it does dissipate, there is no hope left.
"I never said from the beginning to the end that I would let you go." Ye Leng'an sneered and said, "You did such a thing, but you still think you can continue to live. I said, you have lived for so many years, why are you still so opaque!"
After some words, Zhong Yuzhenhua couldn't refute, but he immediately said, "Let me go, as long as you are willing to let me go, then I will give you everything I have."
"I have collected a lot of good things, as long as you want them, I will tell you where they are."
"I'm not interested in those things at all." Ye Leng'an's killing intent was still on him, "I'm only interested in your life now. And what I want to do most now is to kill you."
Not only him, but also Ye Xiyuan, she will not let it go. Although she is very powerful now, she cannot erase the pain she experienced in her first life.
So, she will never let these enemies go.
"Why!" Zhong Yuzhenhua's voice became sharper, "You obviously didn't suffer any harm, and I didn't get any luck from you, why did you have to kill them all!"
"Do you want to know the reason?" Ye Leng'an's mouth suddenly curled up with an obvious arc, but the words he said seemed to be covered with frost, "Because, I was also born again."
After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an waved one hand, and the flames would directly envelop the ray of light.
Then, before Zhong Yuzhenhua figured out what was going on, he felt the pain from the depths of his soul. It was the first time in years that he felt pain. Perhaps, he only felt pain when he was alive. Since becoming a wisp of remnant soul, he may be weak, but he has never felt pain.
However, when the flames enveloped him now, he felt a pain from the depths of his soul. That kind of pain was something he couldn't describe in words. He even felt that he was about to disappear.
The entire office is now filled with Zhong Yuzhenhua's miserable cry.
At the beginning, the scream was still very loud, but gradually it seemed to become a little weaker. After that, the sound disappeared completely, and then the flame disappeared immediately.
When the flame disappeared, the light that was originally wrapped had also disappeared.
The disappearance of Zhong Yuzhenhua made Ye Leng'an feel relieved. Although Ye Xiyuan was still bouncing around, the disappearance of one of the culprits, Zhong Yuzhenhua, made her feel a lot more relaxed, as if she had let go of something.
"Don't you ask me, what's going on?" Ye Leng'an didn't look at Huangfu Ruiling, and said directly, "Whatever you want to ask now, just ask!"
When she was talking just now, she didn't shy away from Huangfu Ruiling, so naturally she has nothing to hide now. As long as Huangfu Ruiling asks, she will speak out.
"Then do you want to talk?" Huangfu Ruiling asked instead.
He is now putting the right to choose in Ye Leng'an's hands. If Ye Leng'an wants to talk, then he will ask. If Ye Leng'an didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't ask. He doesn't need to know anything, as long as Ye Leng'an stays by his side, that's enough.
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an turned his head, looked at him, and suddenly tilted his head and smiled, "I'm in a good mood today, and if you ask me, I'll tell you. You can think about it, after passing this village, there will be no such shop!"
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and then under Ye Leng'an's gaze, he spoke slowly, "Well, what is the rebirth you just mentioned?"
He naturally knew what rebirth meant, but what he wanted to know was what Ye Leng'an had experienced. Because rebirth means one thing, that is, having died once.
As long as he thought of this, he felt a dull pain in his heart. He couldn't imagine what kind of life and death Ye Leng'an had experienced. He also couldn't imagine what would happen to him if there was no Ye Leng'an in this world.
"Actually, I was not only reborn, I was reborn twice." Ye Leng'an's tone was understated, and it was completely impossible to tell that he had experienced two life and death, "I believe you have also investigated me before! Then you should have discovered that I changed suddenly. In fact, I didn't change, I was just reborn."
Then, Ye Leng'an told all about himself. Including her tragic death in Ye Xiyuan's framing in her first life, and her fall in the cultivation world in her second life, and her return to this life again, she said it all without reservation.
After saying everything, she felt a burst of relief, as if some things that had been accumulated in her heart suddenly disappeared.
It's just that, what she didn't expect was that just after she finished speaking, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace. She struggled a bit, wanting to see what happened to Huangfu Ruiling.
"Don't move." Huangfu Ruiling's tone contained a trace of repressed distress, and even a trace of undetectable fear, "Let me hug you for a while, it will be fine."
Only by hugging the person in his arms tightly and feeling the warm body temperature can his heart temporarily settle down. It seemed that only in this way could he be sure that the person in his arms was still alive and alive in this world.
Now he finally knows why Ye Leng'an has always held such deep hostility towards Ye Xiyuan. It turned out that she was killed by Ye Xiyuan once.
No, not only once, but also the second time, it was also because of Ye Xiyuan and Ye Leng'an that they could not successfully overcome the tribulation.
Twice, it turned out that the person he loved the most had experienced two deaths. How painful that must be!
Growing up, he never tried fear. No matter what kind of danger he faced, even when he thought that he might not survive, he never felt fear.
But now he is really scared. He was afraid that he would lose Ye Leng'an, he was afraid that maybe when he woke up, everything was just a dream, and there was no such person as Ye Leng'an in this world.
If that's the case, he thinks he's probably going crazy.
He is like a child who has never eaten sugar, and now he has tasted what sweetness is like. If God really wants to take back his share of sweetness, then he is afraid that he will really go crazy, and he will not be able to restrain the urge to destroy this world.
As if feeling Huangfu Ruiling's mood at the moment, Ye Leng'an stretched out his hand, hugged Huangfu Ruiling's waist, and said in a warm voice, "I'm still here! Everything has passed. I'm still alive, and I'm still in your arms!"
"You won't leave me, will you?" Huangfu Ruiling's tone was a bit stubborn, as if he was determined to get a promise, "You promise me, you will never leave me."
"Okay." Ye Leng'an's tone was full of connivance, she responded with a smile, "As long as you don't betray me, then I will never leave you."
If you don’t leave, I will not abandon you.
Huangfu Ruiling didn't say anything more, but the silently tightened arms already showed his promise.
Even though she already felt a little uncomfortable, Ye Leng'an didn't struggle at all. Because she was leaning against Huangfu Ruiling's arms, she could feel the other's mood at the moment. She also knew very well that Huangfu Ruiling's impact on this matter was a bit big, and she needed to give him time to buffer himself.
So, she didn't say anything, and didn't do anything, she just stayed quietly in Huangfu Ruiling's arms.
