Your Karmic Debt, I'll Take It

"This matter is of great importance. Let's find a secluded place to talk about it."

After looking around, Bai Ye said to Xiao.

There's nothing wrong with using a demon.

"I'll go talk to him. You all rest here for now," Bai Ye said to Shenhe and the others as he stood up.

"Um,"

Shenhe nodded.

Bai Ye walked up the stairs.

Standing next to Xiao, he suddenly felt incredibly happy.

Hold on,

Don't laugh.

Upon reaching the rooftop, the two simultaneously used the Anemo Genshin Eye to ascend to the roof of the Wangshu Inn.

Don't let the fact that the Anemo boys are all short fool you; they're all incredibly skilled at using wind elements to make their movements more agile.

"What's the matter?"

Two boys stood on the roof, and Xiao asked Bai Ye a question.

"During the Rite of Descension, the Rex Lapis was assassinated..."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, Xiao's expression instantly turned serious.

"Rex Lapis, how could such a thing happen to you..."

He tried to keep his tone calm.

She looks like a third party.

What's going on? Why is he behaving this way?

When playing the game, Bai Ye wondered why Xiao maintained this posture, so calm and collected that he didn't seem like the Rex Lapis.

I used to think he knew about it, but now it seems he had nothing to do with knowing.

There must be other things as well.

Bai Ye observed Xiao again.

We finally discovered some clues.

Xiao was trying hard to control himself and keep his tone calm.

But even so,

Bai Ye could clearly sense that Xiao's karmic burdens were about to overflow.

That's how it is.

Bai Ye understood that Xiao was trying to free himself from karmic entanglements.

Alas, the murderous karmic burden that has entangled him for thousands of years is truly...

Etc?

Several thousand cubic centimeters of murderous karmic burden?

Bai Ye was about to sigh, but realized something halfway through his sentence.

My body can withstand Gods and evil spirits.

What about karmic obstacles?

Thousands of kiwis!

Can I take it and use it myself?

And after taking it...

They even had to thank me.

The sudden appearance of the cake almost knocked Bai Ye unconscious.

"What are your plans for the next step?"

Bai Ye patted Xiao on the shoulder and asked.

This would be disrespectful to the immortal master if it were anyone else, but for someone like Bai Ye, who fought alongside him, it was simply the right thing to do.

The moment he touched Xiao's shoulder, Bai Ye instantly used the power of wind to draw the overflowing karmic obstacles into his palm, and then into his body.

Feasible.

When karmic obstacles entered his body, Bai Ye felt no discomfort whatsoever.

He couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of his body.

He is also a descendant from another world, so it is normal to have a somewhat special place.

Xiao, standing opposite Bai Ye, instantly changed his expression.

He was just trying his best to keep the karmic obstacles from breaking free of control.

Fearing that karmic burdens would turn him into a monster who only knew how to kill, thus causing harm to Liyue.

Just as he was trying to control himself, he suddenly felt a large part of the karmic obstacle near the shoulder that Bai Ye had touched disappear.

The karmic obstacles within the body dissipated instantly.

It's like two sides in a battle, and one side is suddenly hit by a meteorite, causing their momentum to collapse immediately.

Xiao can catch his breath.

He turned his gaze to Bai Ye.

This could only have been done by him.

What have you done?

He was about to grab Bai Ye's hand to ask her a question, but after extending his hand halfway, he worried that he might accidentally scratch her, so he awkwardly stopped halfway.

"Well, I recently discovered something special about myself, so I'll give it a try."

"Don't try it next time. Karmic burdens are something that ordinary people simply cannot bear."

Xiao advised Bai Ye.

Even Yaksha come into contact with karmic obstacles are tormented to this state.

How could Bai Ye, a mere mortal who only cultivates Adeptal Arts, possibly come into contact with him?

"That's not necessarily true," Bai Ye said to Xiao. "I've already eliminated the evil aura that Shenhe had from his solitary and malevolent destiny. Now that I see the karmic obstacles on you, I'd like to give it a try."

"As it turns out, there was absolutely no problem."

Bai Ye showed his hand to Xiao, indicating that he had not been hurt at all.

"That's impossible, it's caused by karma..."

Xiao frowned and tried to persuade Bai Ye, grabbing his hand to point out the harm to his body and think of ways to remedy the situation.

Then...

Xiao's expression froze.

He looked closely at Bai Ye, then looked down at Bai Ye's palm.

I watched it three or four times.

Even Bai Ye felt a Bai Ye run down his spine after watching it.

Dude, you're such a straight guy!

"You, you really haven't been affected by any karmic obstacles at all?"

Xiao's astonishment was no less than Dragon King Azhdaha performing a pole dance.

"Well, I was born with a special constitution."

Seeing the two hands clasped together, Bai Ye once again manipulated the wind element to begin absorbing the karmic burdens into his own body.

Um...

This needs to be done gradually.

The karmic burdens of the demon and the malevolent energy of the Shenhe are completely incomparable in magnitude.

Several thousand cubic meters.

There are just too many of these.

Feeling the karmic burdens within my body dissipate.

Xiao felt a long-lost sense of ease wash over him.

Although it's only a small reduction, it makes me feel much more relaxed.

This is an experience I've never had in thousands of years.

The pain in one's body only deepens, and even the Geo Archon can only suppress it. In conclusion, he never imagined that karmic obstacles could actually disappear one day.

Even if it's just a little bit,

That's still a problem!

Unfortunately, I'm the only Yaksha now.

If Bai Ye had appeared any earlier...

Although Zhiyu's idea was wrong, he genuinely wished that Bai Ye had appeared sooner.

Absorb for a while,

Bai Ye, her face somewhat pale, released Xiao's hand.

"I can only absorb this much for now; I'm running out of energy. I'll continue absorbing your karma when I have the chance."

Absorbing the karmic burdens of the demon is even more exhausting than absorbing the malevolent energy of the Shenhe.

"Your body?"

Xiao opened his eyes and saw that Bai Ye's face was pale, and immediately became nervous.

"Well, absorbing these always requires some physical effort."

Upon closer inspection, Xiao realized that it was indeed the case.

In this way,

He was finally relieved.

Supporting Bai Ye,

Xiao said earnestly, "From now on, whatever you ask of me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Including the last time, this is the second time I've received a favor from Bai Ye.

Xiao felt that no matter what Bai Ye did, as long as it wasn't against the Rex Lapis, he would help him even if it meant his death.

"Well, I don't need it for now." Bai Ye waved his hand.

The Floating Stone are enough for now, and the work of repairing the teacher has begun, so I don't really have many desires for the time being.

"Oh, right, I also need to deliver the message to the other Adepti. Given the current situation, it seems I shouldn't go."

"I will inform the other Adepti."

Without a second thought, Xiao immediately said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye has already resolved some of his own karmic burdens, so what's the big deal about him running errands?
