The Rabbit Runs Pretty Fast

The Lingren was also a result of being manipulated by Hua Subai.

This experimental subject was paranoid, hateful, and powerful—so powerful that even the instigator began to find it difficult to deal with and regretted it, and could only avoid its sharp edge.

The abilities that were modified in Yu Xing's body, and the black curse he received in the laboratory, all seem to have been created by Lingren. Therefore, from the beginning, Yu Xing was not as powerful as Lingren.

For a long time, he could only hide in XZ, and even had to rely on the clueless rescue by Hua Subai to avoid falling into the abyss with his soul.

Later, he developed a strong self-destructive tendency. His path of seeking revenge against the Lingren was more like a process of self-destruction, because he was like an egg striking a rock, destined to be shattered to pieces.

However, after entering the deduction system, he came into contact with the Ghostly Ghost Tree and realized that it contained the same curse power as the one within him. As long as he could live and absorb it, he could obtain the filling power beyond the curse forcibly given to him by the Lingren. He had a way to become stronger from the source. Once his curse was stronger than the Lingren's...

Killing the Lingren became an easy task, instead of having to probe and dart around even after finding clues about Lingren, repeatedly challenging the Lingren's limits and using his own depravity as bait to lure the Lingren into letting the line go longer and longer.

Therefore, even if Yu Xing knew the Witch's intentions, including the fact that the Witch wanted him to become a vessel for some kind of system, he was likely a candidate, and the main object of cultivation was Yu Fengchen, a pure "doll" whose body had been made entirely of the Ghost Tree wood core since childhood.

Even knowing this, he wouldn't refuse the curse power that came knocking on his door.

His need for the curse was inevitable, but the Witch's ability to turn him into a vessel under her control was not necessarily so.

In other words, he has an option to accept benefits without paying a price; however, the more benefits he receives, the harder it is to avoid the consequences.

To put it simply, he just wants to get something for free. If he succeeds, all will be well; if he fails, he'll be doomed.

But how will you know if you don't try?

He wasn't the type to be easily swayed, and perhaps Yu Fengchen was the same. He and Yu Fengchen were the ones who could truly cooperate. According to Yu Xing's plan, the Witch's primary target was Yu Fengchen, so perhaps later on, she would try to change Yu Xing's stance, promising to let Yu Xing help her mold Yu Fengchen into the person she wanted, promising not to target him, but still sharing power with him, and so on.

Yu Xing could easily see through this trick.

Jiang Jieleng, his voice tinged with a rare hint of complexity. "This is the Witch's brilliance; her wisdom is extraordinary, belonging to no one."

"If you want to take risks, I don't object, as long as you don't mess things up and affect me in the end."

The boy's indifference didn't bother Yu Xing; on the contrary, the more she looked at him, the cuter he seemed. "You must be a very easy child to raise, much less troublesome than the two girls I've raised."

Jiang Jieleng: "..."

Although he had heard that the person in front of him was an old monster of unknown age, he always ignored the age issue whenever he looked at this young and stunning face.

"Hey, you're almost an adult, right?" Yu Xing suddenly scratched her cheek with her finger, then changed the subject, "Are you interested in girls three years older than you? I have a daughter in my family, she's 21 this year."

Jiang Jieleng: "Are you mentally challenged?"

The boy finally couldn't help but retort, "We're not even from the same world. Can you think before you speak? Don't always make me lower my expectations of adults' intelligence."

Yu Xing: "..." This little brat is so fierce.

"Also, I have an older sister," Jiang Jieleng and serious. "I will only ever love this one older sister."

Yu Xing: "..."I see... Hmm?!

It seems I overheard something terrible. Was it my older sister?

It's the one with the ling in the name...

Before the uncontrollable conspiracy theories could fully take hold in her mind, Yu Xing forced herself to shift her attention.

In fact, there was no need for him to move it anymore. He chatted with Jiang Jieleng, and it seemed that twenty minutes were almost up. The atmosphere outside the house was becoming more and more turbulent, and the thick black fog was almost seeping in through the cracks in the door.

The twenty minutes will be up, which will mark the end of the time the Witch has given Yu Fengchen alone. As agreed, the Witch will take him to the tree roots to share this part of the curse.

As it turned out, the Witch, whose abilities were closely tied to time, had a very precise grasp of the concept of time. Yu Xing had only counted twenty minutes in his mind when he keenly sensed that the aura around him had changed significantly.

A chilling coldness pressed in from all directions, as if trying to condense the area around him into an airtight cocoon of air, making breathing increasingly difficult and damp. Even Jiang Jieleng, who was next to Yu Xing, was affected a little, frowning and standing a little further away.

"Hey kid, I think I should go down now." Yu Xing sensed something beneath his feet breaking through layers of soil, rising from the ground with terrifying speed and immense size.

"You two just left me here in the end." Jiang Jieleng speechless.

"Don't worry, Yu Fengchen should come to pick you up after I go down. If he has already accepted most of the power, he will definitely be able to command the Underground City with ease." Yu Xing was not worried about Jiang Jieleng. Firstly, the Combat Power of the rabbit on Jiang Jieleng's body should not be underestimated, and secondly, in the hearts of the believers, Jiang Jieleng was still a companion, not an outsider.

Before Jiang Jieleng could say anything more, he heard a rumbling sound.

This was because the thing underground was getting close; like muffled thunder, the entire ground trembled, creating an earthquake that affected the entire Underground City.

"Get away from me! Leave now, get outside the residential area!"

Only then did Yu Xing truly realize just how enormous the thing approaching him from beneath his feet was. Once it broke through the ground, Jiang Jieleng was still standing nearby, would definitely be thrown out.

Jiang Jieleng gave him a deep look, didn't ask a single question, and ran off with the plush rabbit, almost crashing through the loose door, quickly becoming a tiny black dot in the darkness.

Wow, this kid is pretty mobile too.

Yu Xing was unsteady on his feet due to the amplitude of the earthquake, but his mind was still wandering, just like a rabbit, running fast enough.

"Boom..."

As the surrounding ghosts scattered and fled, the ground beneath Yu Xing's feet finally cracked open.

The thickest tree branch he had ever seen before burst out of the crack in the ground, instantly shattering the roof of his house. Yu Xing was caught in the debris and lifted high into the air.
