Chapter 211 My glory
Lin Fan ignored Wu Siming and continued walking forward. But suddenly, a hand grabbed his ankle.
“I beg you. Kill me, please.” A female voice could be heard. It was a voice that was filled with despair.
Lin Fan looked down to see a black-haired woman lying on her stomach. She reached out to grab Lin Fan’s ankle from the cell. She looked weak, but she grabbed onto Lin Fan with strength.
“What are you called?” Lin Fan asked.
“Please, kill me.” She repeated, sounding extremely depressed.
Lin Fan looked at her, confused. I wonder what traumatised her so badly that she wanted to end her life. Life was precious. You only have hope if you stay alive.
“Haish!” Wu Siming sighed. “If you can, I hope that you can let her die easily too. To her, dying is not an end of her life, but the end of her suffering.”
“Do you know her?” Lin Fan turned to Wu Siming
Wu Siming nodded. He wasn’t willing to share so much with Lin Fan initially, but he realised that was something different about the man. Wu Siming thought that Lin Fan must be hiding more than he knew, thus he was willing to share the woman’s story with him.
“She’s called Ji Yuekong, a member of a spy organization. However, she was captured by a Sunshine Sect disciple at Bu Luo city, and she was forced to do a …… parade. She has experienced things that you would never think of, thus dying might be the best outcome for her.” Wu Siming finished off calmly. He then gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “Those b****** should all be killed.”
“Kill me, please…”
Lin Fan frowned. Things that I’ll never be able to think of? I’m really unable to think of anything. He then grabbed the cell door and clenched his fist, pulling the door apart. He came to the woman and put his hand on her chin. “Look at me…”
She had a pretty face, but soulless eyes. It was as if she had given up on everything. Despair flowed out of her eyes. If emotions could be congealed, her despaired must have been in solid form.
“I beg you to kill me, please.” Ji Yuekong repeated. “Do you want to be freed? If you still want, in a pinch, I can kill you without any pain. But I know that you’re just afraid. If you want hope, I can give you hope.” Lin Fan said lightly, rubbing her lips softly with his thumb.
“Hope?” Ji Yuekong said in a daze. “There’s no hope. I’m no longer who I was, and I hate myself. Everyone will hate and disdain me.”
“You’re just being guided by fear. For example. I don’t loathe or disdain you. Don’t you wish to take revenge?” Lin Fan said as if tempting her.
“Revenge?” Ji Yuekong looked down at the ground. “Do I have the ability to do so? I…”
Lin Fan stood up and reached out his hands. “Look at me. Trust me, I’ll be able to give you a new life. From the moment you take my hand, you will no longer be the old you, but a new life will begin.”
Ji Yuekong looked up at the man blankly. After some time, she then registered his words.
“Only a weakling will seek death when in pain. A true fighter will rise from the ashes, and convert the pain into their motivation and energy.”
Lin Fan stared at her emotionlessly. To Ji Yuekong, the giant black hand in front of her had pa.s.sed through the darkness and came to rescue her.
It was as if she would be able to leave this dark cell if she took it, but what would come after?
Piak!
Ji Yuekong put her hand on Lin Fan’s palm.
Lin Fan let out a smile. I guess I’m good at counselling
Just then, Ji Yuekong kneeled on the ground. “Lord, please give me a name.”
Lin Fan looked at her blankly. Give her a name? I can’t name people! What should I name her? Two dog t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es?
“You found hope when in despair, right?” Lin Fan said after a short pause. “How about I name you w.a.n.g Xi?”
w.a.n.g Xi kneeled down in front of Lin Fan. “From today onwards, I’ll be called w.a.n.g Xi. And I’ll be my lord’s knife forever. I will promise to never betray you. Lord, please allow me to follow in your footsteps.” Lin Fan looked at her confusedly. I am only trying to save her life and she wants to be my shadow, or even my hired knife?
Seeing how the other person looked down, Lin Fan felt that if he were to reject her, w.a.n.g Xi would fall into despair once again.
But you’re too weak! You will end up a broken knife instead of my knife.
But….. Whatever.
“Alright.” Lin Fan said softly.
w.a.n.g Xi kneeled down again, but her eyes shone, unlike how dead she looked earlier. Other than her lord, there was nothing else in her eyes. Wu Siming stayed in his cell and watched the scene. His jaws dropped, as he did not understand what was going on.
That man only made a few comments and yet he was able to make such a great impact on a person who was greatly depressed.
Who is he? Why is he so charismatic?
Lin Fan didn’t know why either. It might be because I’m so charming, or because I shine brightly like a star, and there are many that willing to be under me. Yeah! That’s the only explanation that works and sounds reasonable.
“Are you all here from the Magnificent Flame Sect?” Lin Fan asked Wu Siming. He looked at Lin Fan in a daze and nodded. “Yes, everyone here is from the Magnificent Flame Sect.”
Feeling the aura around him, Lin Fan could tell that those being kept here were all being drained of energy.
He opened up his palm and cut open a wound. Blood gushed out of his hand. After the previous experience with Wu Siming, he knew how powerful his blood was. To them, blood that held too much energy is a poison instead of medicine.
Blood dripped on the ground. As if it was alive, blood started gushing towards all directions.
“Blood Energy is indeed strong. It’s a good trait.” Lin Fan laughed. He could feel the surrounding aura getting stronger.
“What’s going on? I’m feeling better. I’ve recovered.” “Who’s saving us? What is this drop of blood
for?”
Sounds could be heard coming from all over the place.
Witnessing this, Wu Siming was at a loss of words.
Powerful. He’s too powerful.
How strong must he be to let everyone recover with a drop of blood?
“Who are you?” Wu Siming looked at Lin Fan, jaws dropping. He looked as if he had seen a G.o.d.
“Lin Fan, peak leader of the Invincible peak, which is the tenth peak in the Magnificent Flame Sect.”
“How can this be? There’s no Invincible peak in the sect.” Wu Siming said dumbfoundedly. He did not believe Lin Fan, but he couldn’t think of any reason for Lin Fan to lie, thus he knelt down without any hesitation.
“Disciple Wu Siming greets Senior brother Lin.”
Lin Fan nodded. “You guys shall stay here first. Now, I can bring you out of the Monster city, but not the Sunshine Sect. But be at ease, from now on, this will be a safe place. When the time is right, we will then take down the Sunshine Sect.”
Wu Siming looked down to the ground and trembled out of excitement.
“Yes.”
He trusted that there would be such a day.
He looked around the place and left.
With w.a.n.g Xi following him.
“Master.” Seeing Lin Fan, The big monster master went up immediately. “How was the experiment?” Lin Fan asked. But when he saw the hybrid, Lin Fan knew that it was a success.
“Master, it was a success.” Big monster master said excitedly. “I followed your words, and it worked smoothly. The guy’s cultivation was raised from Body Tempering Stage Nine to Earth Star Border Stage One. His body, strength, speed and vitality have all greatly improved! As long as his brain and heart are not injured, he would definitely not die. Furthermore, his body is able to heal quite quickly.”
“Really? That’s perfect. This is a better result than I would have imagined.
“Eh, who is she?” Seeing the woman behind Lin Fan, Big monster master asked.
Lin Fan would never bring a woman; especially a burden around with him. Thus he decided to leave her here. “This is an a.s.sistant I have found for you. You are not allowed to injure her, do you understand?” “Yes. Your humble slave understands.” The Big monster master nodded.
Just then, w.a.n.g Xi saw a Sunshine Sect disciple who was tied up by a metal chain next to her. Something crossed her mind and she moved fast, in the form of a ray of light. She picked up the dagger next to her and stabbed it into the disciple’s brain under his terrified look. Using enough force to cut him into half.
“Ah! My material! My perfect material! How could you damage it?” The Big monster master jumped up in anger. If not for his master’s earlier instruction, he would have taught the woman a lesson.
“Cruel. I’m considered kind compared to her.” Lin Fan muttered.
“Are you feeling better now?” Lin Fan asked.
no
“Lord, please punish me.” w.a.n.g Xi kneeled on the ground.
Lin Fan walked over and patted her head. “Remember, you are not supposed to behave impulsively anymore. At least, not now.” “Yes.” w.a.n.g Xi looked down, feeling Lin Fan’s hand on her head. It gave her the strength to live and an urge to serve him well.
“Great. It seems like I can leave this place now.” There’s nothing here in the monster city that’s worth me staying. I shall go out and look around.
With my strength, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to take down a Heaven Star Border realm fighter. Since there, I will not need to hide anymore. Let’s turn this place upside down.
It did not felt good to be in hiding.
If I am really unable to defeat someone, then I’ll just run away. “Woo hoo!”
