NFBE Chapter 640 You Can Stay
Chapter 640 You Can Stay
Shang Ling, who was sitting on the tree root, slowly landed in front of Xue Lan, her emerald eyes scrutinizing the person.
After half an hour, even the usually shameless Wolf King couldn't take it anymore and tore off one of his ears to cover half his face.
"Could you please stop staring at me, sir?"
Shang Ling chuckled softly, took two steps forward, and unleashed two entangled hand seals:
"I thought Lord Wolf was going to put on a show of flooding the East Sea, but I didn't expect him to still remember the important matter."
When he saw Xue Lan howling under the chair, he almost thought it was some kind of tradition... performance of the wolf clan under the moonlight.
Xue Lan couldn't help but click her tongue, then swayed over to Shang Ling's side:
"Shang Xun's annoying personality is actually imitating you, isn't it?"
Shang Ling focused on adjusting the hand seals. The two entangled hand seals slowly separated as the woman moved her fingertips, creating a small space within them.
She glanced at Xue Lan sideways:
Aren't you afraid I'll hit you?
"Won't……"
Lord Wolf raised his hand and touched his large ears:
"You have a better temper than Shang Xun."
Shang Ling couldn't help but smile softly at her expression.
The inner demon crept up to Xue Tong's side and tugged at the young girl's sleeve:
"Has she graduated?"
Xue Tong tilted her head slightly and whispered in her ear, "You're more skilled than me, after all, I don't have ears."
The inner demon shook its head at her: "I do!"
Xue Tong: You're just asking to be beaten.
The moon is high in the sky; midnight has arrived.
The drumbeats that everyone had heard before resounded once again above the East Sea. Shang Ling raised her hand to activate the magic seal in front of her. Countless tender branches grew from the two magic seals, drawing the moonlight upwards and creating a huge whirlpool on the sea surface not far from Xue Lan. The center of the whirlpool was pitch black and bottomless.
"This is the Void Vortex, and also the entrance to the Falling Moon Well." Shang Ling turned to look at Xue Lan, her tone serious:
"The Moonfall Well is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper level is a broken ruin, and what you are looking for is probably there."
"The lower level is a place where demons are imprisoned, and it is extremely dangerous. The Moon Toad is there."
Xue Lan nodded to indicate that she understood. The woman glanced at the vortex and then began rummaging in her sleeve.
Xue Tong asked curiously, "What is she looking for now?"
The inner demon spoke calmly: "The Myriad Crafts Box and the Zhu River."
"Lord Wolf is somewhat afraid."
As expected, Xue Lan took out the Wan Gong Box and the small ball containing the Zhu River from her sleeve and held them up in front of Xue Tong:
"Since it's dangerous down there, it would be best if you kept watch for me."
Xue Tong subconsciously reached out to take what Xue Lan handed her, the girl pursing her lips slightly:
"You be careful too."
His tone was gentle.
Even the Wolf King, unusually, refrained from joking and nodded slowly. "Alright."
After explaining to Xue Tong, Xue Lan looked at the single-edged sword, the sapphire heart, and the soul-guiding sword again, then pointed at the single-edged sword:
"I'd appreciate it if you could come with me."
The man in black immediately stepped forward, transforming into a long, black sword that flew to Xue Lan's waist.
Xue Lan bowed to Shang Ling and Wu Jin again, then turned and flew towards the vortex. The inner demon patted Xue Tong on the shoulder:
"I'm leaving too."
Two beams of light, one black and one white, simultaneously fell into the bottomless darkness at the center of the vortex, making the East Sea much quieter without Xue Lan.
Xue Tong, carrying the Wan Gong Box, took a worried step forward, but was stopped by Shang Ling:
"Little Tong... has she ever gone home?"
Xue Tong turned her head in surprise: "Huh?"
She knew Shang Ling was the Demon Lord, and must have been aware of her identity as a soul from another world, but why was this person acting so strangely...?
wrong.
Why do you always ask this question when Xue Lan isn't around?
The girl didn't answer Shang Ling directly, but instead secretly planned to engage in a subtle exchange with him:
"The adults said to go home..."
"another world."
Xue Tong was speechless as Shang Ling abruptly interrupted her prepared excuse. Sui Xin stepped forward to protect her, her expression grim.
Seeing Xue Tong's expression, Shang Ling knew she didn't need to ask anymore. The woman raised her hand and summoned a branch to lift her up again.
"You've been back."
Xue Tong thought to herself that these demon lords were really troublesome. They were all as shrewd as Xue Lan, and there was no privacy to talk to them.
Since they had guessed her words so clearly, Xue Tong simply admitted, "Yes, I did go back before."
It was forcibly thrown back by the tyrannical Wolf King.
"Do you still want to go back?" Shang Ling suddenly asked.
"Of course I'm going back. I'll go back as soon as I finish helping Xue Lan." Xue Tong said subconsciously, automatically ignoring the hidden meaning in Shang Ling's words.
"Miss Xiaotong is a smart person..." Shang Ling said with a light smile:
"You should know what I mean."
"You'd better..." The woman looked intently at Xue Tong with her emerald eyes:
"Go back now."
"I always felt that the people of Fusang were all scheming and cunning. Is that my problem?" In the dark center of the vortex, the inner demon that was falling with Xue Lan suddenly spoke.
"No..." Xue Lan began softly:
"My connection with Xue Tong has been severed."
The inner demon transformed into a streak of dark light and flew into the Wolf King's heart:
"I can't wait any longer."
"What should we do? Should we go back and yell at her before we get too far?"
A faint light began to appear around Xue Lan, and fragments of the old Moonlit Well ruins floated around her, swirling with the waves.
In the very center of the roaring vortex, there was a deathly silence, as if time and space had frozen there.
"No need," Xue Lan said calmly.
“She didn’t mean any harm, and I roughly knew what she was going to say.”
The inner demon within the sea of consciousness is fishing by the frozen lake:
“I know that too.” The woman tilted her head and said, “What she said might even be nice. It hurts Xiaotong’s feelings if you say it yourself, but it won’t hurt her if she says it.”
"But Xue Lan, you're not happy."
"No matter who says those things to her, you won't be happy."
Xue Lan spoke coldly:
"Shut up!"
The inner demon felt that his eight hundred pounds of rebellious spirit were ready. The woman flew out of Xue Lan's heart, with a snow-white silver fish still hooked on the fishing rod.
She landed on a broken stone door nearby, her face, identical to Xue Lan's, full of smiles:
"Lord Wolf is skilled at scheming. He can say what he doesn't want to say and do what he doesn't want to do."
"You may clean yourself up, but you're still that Wolf King who carries countless burdens of karma yet cares for all people... and is powerless to control his own destiny."
Xue Lan chuckled lightly: "You have a problem with that?"
The inner demon shook its head vigorously, like a rattle: "I have no objection, what objection could I possibly have?"
"I'd love for you to scheme against everyone around you and end up being the only one I can take care of."
"What if I don't want to be alone?" Xue Lan looked quietly at her inner demon.
"I know!"
The inner demon floated in a circle around Xue Lan:
"You entrusted the Ten Thousand Crafts Box to her, and you entrusted your foolish junior brother to her too... wasn't it all for this?"
"Xue Lan".
The inner demon floated silently in front of Xue Lan, its expression unusually serious:
"You can stay."
"Why suffer before the time is right?"
“Yes,” Xue Lan echoed softly, “Just like that little tiger back then, as long as I’m willing to say I like that little guy, I can stay.”
After saying this, Lord Wolf King thought of diving deeper into the depths, his voice gentle and soothing:
“You have a way, right? You just patted her on the shoulder.”
The inner demon raised his hand and took out a small, transparent round piece from his heart:
"You can only say two sentences."
“If you don’t leave now, once she connects with the laws and traditions of the Yuanming Realm and becomes the Lord of the Yuanming Realm… you won’t be able to leave.”
Shang Ling's voice resounded throughout the entire East China Sea. Xue Tong gripped the Wan Gong Box tightly, his heart torn between two conflicting emotions, unsure of what to say.
The spirit guide stood on her shoulder, looking at Xue Tong with concern.
If Xiaotong doesn't go back, her mother will worry.
But if Sister Xiaotong leaves like this, Your Majesty will be heartbroken.
Little Soul has a big head, Little Soul is anxious.
“I…” Xue Tong began softly.
"I want to stay..."
"I don't want you to leave..."
A familiar voice suddenly came from beside her, and Shang Ling was stunned, staring intently at Xue Tong's left shoulder.
There appeared a small, transparent disc, like a piece of polished jade.
Xue Tong heard Xue Lan's voice again:
"I don't want...you to leave."
