Chapter 31 : System Rewards
“If heaven could give me another chance, I would definitely slap myself before speaking…” At this moment, Yu Ling’er felt so embarrassed she might as well have turned to stone. No, more like an ice sculpture. She couldn’t fathom why she had uttered those words.
Even though Ye Xuan was looking at her with cold indifference and disdain, she hadn’t paid attention to his words and impulsively expressed her willingness. What was she willing for? It certainly wasn’t the right time to say such things!
“This world, how could it have someone like you…” Ye Xuan uttered as he watched Yu Ling’er’s awkwardness. “You were talking about killing me just before, and now suddenly you’ve released me. What exactly are you trying to do?”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yu Ling’er was snapped back from her fantasy. She had even thought about what to name their future children after hearing just one sentence from him. But soon after, she fell into bitterness.
She sighed and said, “I’m sorry… I… I don’t know how to explain to you, but Ye Xuan, please believe me, I will absolutely, absolutely not do anything to make you sad again!”
In reality, it would have been easy for her to explain – she could have just lied. She could have said she had gone mad with her cultivation or had a dual personality…
But Yu Ling’er didn’t want to lie. Ye Xuan had said he liked her from their first meeting. That meant he originally liked her. But her gaze had hurt him, so he concealed his feelings for her. However, in this life, she still hurt him, even wanting to kill him. No matter how you put it, it was inexcusable. But she had no other choice, she only now knew the truth. If she had known earlier, how could she have acted that way?
She understood that Ye Xuan wouldn’t believe her explanations. So, all she could do was delay addressing this issue. As long as Ye Xuan was still willing to listen to her, she had to first establish a good relationship with him.
“You won’t do anything to make me sad again? Are you joking? How could I be sad for you?” Ye Xuan responded indifferently, “I told you, I’m not interested in a girl like you. Don’t think that by letting me go, I’ll be grateful. Right now, I’m not as strong as you, so I can’t do anything to you, but one day, I’ll make you pay!”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, filled with indifference and hatred, Yu Ling’er felt her heart skip a beat. It was so painful. To be despised by the person she liked felt terribly painful. She was suffering now just because of her own actions, but in the previous life, Ye Xuan was wronged and despised by her. They had an irreconcilable enmity.
Moreover, this hatred stemmed from Ye Xuan’s devotion to her, and her relentless misunderstandings of him. Under such injustice, even a stranger would feel distressed, let alone Ye Xuan, who loved her enough to give everything for her. The pain Yu Ling’er was experiencing now was probably not even a fraction of what Ye Xuan endured. Yu Ling’er, do you have any right to feel this pain?
Thinking this, Yu Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan with a mix of pity and sadness. The Ye Xuan of the past, despite causing quite a stir, was just an ordinary person. Without a spiritual root, after losing the power of his inner demons, he was no different from a mortal.
If he had accepted the grace of the Beidou Star Lord back then, perhaps his fate would have been different. But for her sake, he didn’t accept that gift. He chose to ensure Yu Shou could never do evil again…
Yu Ling’er, now aware of the whole truth, understood that Ye Xuan did this to spare her the pain of realizing Yu Shou’s despicable nature and that she had wronged Ye Xuan her entire life. He didn’t want to make her sad. Just to consider her feelings a little bit, he was willing to give up what many cultivators long for their entire lives. His love for her was so profound. But precisely because of this, he lost the greatest opportunity to communicate with the gods in this lifetime.
He missed the chance to be reborn with memories, to obtain a spiritual root. It meant that in this life, Ye Xuan might remain a mere mortal. Even with all his efforts in his previous life, he couldn’t succeed in cultivation. This life, it seemed, held no hope for him…
Thinking this, Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but shed tears for Ye Xuan again. Even immortal beings can’t give a common person a spiritual root. Ye Xuan had no hope in this life.
“Uh…” Seeing Yu Ling’er crying again, Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless. What I said wasn’t too harsh, was it? You were about to kill me, and me throwing a harsh word or two is only reasonable, isn’t it? You don’t expect me to comfort you, do you? That would be quite a departure from your previous character. Ye Xuan hesitated, wondering whether to comfort Yu Ling’er or not.
However, Yu Ling’er was making a firm decision at this moment. In the last life, Ye Xuan suffered all sorts of injustices for her. In this life, she wanted to protect Ye Xuan and ensure he would never be bullied by anyone again. Be it Qin Yushou or the inner demons that harmed Ye Xuan in the previous life, she wouldn’t let them off.
Thinking this, she said to Ye Xuan, “I’m sorry… Though I would willingly give my life to you to atone, my life…” She paused, not completing her thought, fearing Ye Xuan might think she was looking down on him.
But at this moment, the system’s voice finally rang in Ye Xuan’s mind: “Ding, the script event is over, and the system evaluation begins. The script written by the host has caused the heroine, who deeply hated and was utterly opposed to the host, to develop an irrevocable deep love for him. She now regards the host as the most important person in her life. The host’s whitewashing technique is like a bleach. Based on the host’s performance, the rewards are:
Hidden-type Immortal Spiritual Root: Said to be possessed only by those reincarnated from immortal beings. Even the most discerning eyes might mistake these hidden spiritual roots as mortal.Hidden-type Supreme Sword Bone: Those born with a sword bone are naturally gifted in swordsmanship, and the Supreme Sword Bone is the pinnacle, commanding all swords in the world. This hidden-type sword bone also remains undetected by others.Sword Heart of Selflessness: No matter how demanding the sword technique, the host can easily reach the state of ‘No Sword, No Self.’
As Yu Ling’er was planning her determination to protect Ye Xuan and make up for her past mistakes, Ye Xuan received these incredible rewards, unaware of her inner turmoil. This marked a significant turn in his fate, potentially elevating him from an ordinary mortal to someone with extraordinary capabilities and destiny.
