Xiao Wu, You Wouldn't Want Your Mother...
"Understood," Violet nodded in response. "Speaking of which, should we try to seize the Miracle Item Door, which is also the Gate to the World?"
"No need to fight or rob, let everything take its course."
"What is a toy in the hands of the strong, when it falls into the hands of the weak, often becomes a weapon or a deadly weapon for the weak to rise above a group of even weaker people."
"The Miracle Item Door is nothing more than a bunch of toys to the Gods."
"But for Soul Master below the level of Gods, including Soul Beast and all Goddess of Life below the level of Gods, they are precious tools that can change their Destiny."
"Violet, you need to understand one thing: the best way to make fish fight is to reduce the proportion of food you give them."
"Whether it's fish food costing one dollar or ten dollars, it's an expense that wealthy Gods can afford. That's why stinginess is meant to intensify conflicts, to deliberately provoke unrest on earth, and to use the consequences of such unrest to provoke certain Deity, thereby achieving the goal of reshuffling the deck from top to bottom."
"Everyone can find a reason to survive in this turmoil."
"Like Rakshasa God."
"Does she really think I can't see through her little tricks?"
Ye Qingcang held a teacup.
Speaking of which, let me blow on the steam rising from the black tea.
I took a sip.
He looks just like a retired senior official.
Violet also held a teacup, the pattern on which perfectly complemented the pattern on the teacup in Ye Qingcang's hand. On the tray on the table was a delicate little teapot, through which one could vaguely glimpse the amber liquid inside through the jade-like body, with occasional phantom images of dragons and phoenixes rising from it. It was clear at a glance that this was not something an ordinary family could possess, nor something they would be willing to use, just like the teacups in Ye Qingcang's and Violet's hands.
Not to mention that upon closer inspection, one can see distorted whirlpools in the occasional ripples. Despite being just a small teapot, it contains a vast universe within, no less than the capacity of an ordinary Storage Soul Tool, with at least one cubic meter of space inside.
I wonder who is so extravagant.
They actually used this work of art as a tea set for everyday use.
If this thing were sold outside, it would fetch a starting price of Rank Seven Soul Tool at auction.
Perhaps only someone as wealthy and powerful as Ye Qingcang, or someone as skilled in crafting various Soul Tool Violet, could treat high-end Soul Tool as inexpensive everyday items and use them casually.
The cost and the selling price are definitely different.
"Then why don't you expose him?" Violet knew almost all of Ye Qingcang's secrets. The power struggle between Bibidong, Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Rakshasa God was also a secret Violet knew. "If a matter cannot be resolved in time, it will inevitably develop into a problem over time, and the cost of resolving that problem is often more than double the original cost... This is the lesson you taught me."
"Yes... but I also remember teaching you a few other things: don't try to create trouble if there isn't any; be careful with your words and actions, and listen and observe more; try not to do things you're not sure about."
"Of course I can expose the Rakshasa God's tricks."
"But can the problem be truly solved?"
"Why would the Rakshasa God listen to me?"
"It is true that the Chains of Heaven can fly and escape into the earth and has a good suppressive effect on Deity. However, the Chains of Heaven cannot stop the Deity from transmitting their voices, nor can it fly straight into the Divine Realm, find the Rakshasa God's true form, lock the Rakshasa God's collarbone, drag the Rakshasa God to the human world, or force the Rakshasa God to solve the problem on Bibidong's body."
"Even if it could be done, there would be many drawbacks."
"Between helping relatives and helping those in the right, helping relatives is the answer most people would give, while helping those in the right is the answer a few ambitious people who uphold justice would give... You must remember: the law and reason are no different from human sentiment."
"Therefore, this will actually cause me to lose support from the Asura God."
"Even if I really gave so much, what would I get in return?"
Ye Qingcang took a sip of the slightly hot black tea.
Analyzing this matter as if peeling back layers of an onion.
"You'll get nothing." Violet nodded thoughtfully. "You might get Bibidong's gratitude, but her gratitude is undoubtedly worthless... Moreover, human nature is complex. Perhaps after a while, Bibidong will resent you and think that you stripped her of her right to inherit the Rakshasa God's position."
"Yes, human nature is just that complicated."
"Unpredictable, and even more immeasurable."
"They can be used, but they cannot be trusted."
"Furthermore, to put it another way... if Bibidong can hold on, and if Qian Renxue and Hu Liena can hold on, that would be even better; if Bibidong can't hold on, and if Qian Renxue and Hu Liena can't hold on either, then I wouldn't be at a loss for getting a beauty for free."
"If I can't even handle Bibidong..."
"All those psychology books were a waste of time."
"As the price for making me realize my incompetence, whether it's the backstabbing that made me humble and impatient, or the setbacks that left me empty-handed, it's all a valuable tuition fee... Just like those students who just spent 10,000 credits just to hear the information I had, there are countless failures before every success."
Ye Qingcang was never afraid of failure.
It is precisely because people's hearts are unpredictable.
Therefore, he gave the choice to Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Bibidong, instead of intervening and forcibly interfering in these matters himself.
"I'm back!" Just as Ye Qingcang and Violet were chatting, Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice came from the doorway. Besides the sound of shoes being changed and the door closing, there were also Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's surprised expressions, as well as Bai Chenxiang and Ye Lingling's distinctive footsteps. "Xiao Wu is here too. I hope I haven't misunderstood you."
"It seems our teamwork is indeed quite good. While there's some credit for the time we've spent working together, it's also partly due to our natural instincts, which is quite surprising." Ye Qingcang said with a smile, making a veiled remark without going into too much detail. However, Zhu Zhuqing, who had worked closely with Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang, immediately understood what he meant and unconsciously felt a little guilty. She glanced at Xiao Wu Xiao Wu the others out of the corner of her eye, observing their reactions, even though their attention had already been drawn away by Xiao Wu Ye Qingcang's words. "Getting back to the point, Xiao Wu, in class earlier, I didn't call your name, and even hinted that you should put your hand down, because I knew what you wanted to ask. But since class time is limited, and what you wanted to know were all private matters, I had Zhu Qing bring you here... But now it seems that Rongrong also understood the meaning behind my look."
"It's pretty obvious, isn't it?" Compared to the anxious Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, who had seen a lot in life, appeared poised and confident, completely belying her status as a customer. She tucked her small feet, encased in white socks, into slippers and neatly placed her own leather shoes on the stall by the door. "I was afraid Xiao Wu would get ripped off here, so I reluctantly came up to you. Don't blame Zhu Qing!"
Upon suddenly hearing her own name, the voluptuous Zhu Zhuqing was startled, but after hearing Ning Rongrong's words, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Zhuqing's personality leans towards that of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Even if the body is honest.
Small branches bear abundant fruit.
They were still ashamed to talk about those things.
Habitually pacing like a cat, wearing cat-head-shaped slippers, she walked to the sofa next to Ye Qingcang and sat down, unaware that Ning Rongrong, the Little Witch who knew a lot about certain things, had changed her gaze towards her, now carrying a hint of "I knew it."
Unlike Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Bai Chenxiang, and Ning Rongrong, who had no major issues, Xiao Wu was filled with questions. Finally finding an opportunity, she couldn't wait to ask, "Just now, the question I wanted to ask in class was..."
"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique can revive the dead, but only if the dead person's soul exists and is not locked." Seeing Xiao Wu's suddenly pale face, Ye Qingcang pointed to the sofa opposite him and said, "Sit down first and listen to me. I have two options for you to choose from. I hope you will think carefully before making a decision."
"Which two options?" Xiao Wu unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, afraid that Ye Qingcang's answer would disappoint her again, "I'll do anything to bring Mom back to life!"
"Don't make any promises you can't keep, because bringing your mother back to life won't be easy."
"The greater the difficulty, the higher the cost."
"You should be prepared for this, a matter of equivalent exchange, right?"
Seeing Xiao Wu nod in agreement, Ye Qingcang continued, "Bibidong didn't erase your mother's soul, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't. Your mother's willpower was extremely strong. More than ten years wasn't enough for Bibidong to suppress and digest your mother's soul. Therefore, whether it's the first or the second plan, one indispensable step is trading your mother's soul from Bibidong. To put it in a way that's easier for you to understand... Bibidong needs to shatter her own Soul Ring!"
Even Ning Rongrong felt despair upon hearing this, let alone Xiao Wu.
Violet felt that even this was a difficult situation.
Needless to say, Ye Lingling and the others were even more so.
One can deny Bibidong's character, but one cannot deny Bibidong strength. As Rakshasa God Test Taker and one of the two Limit Douluo of level 99 in this world, if the Rakshasa God does not interfere and Ye Qingcang, who is overpowered, is excluded, no one can defy Bibidong's will or order Bibidong to hand over anything that belongs to her. Even the Angel High Priest, Qian Daoliu, cannot do it.
Sword Douluo?
Bone Douluo?
The Six Great Offerings?
Nine Great Elders?
Even with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, none of these titled Douluo could withstand a single move from Bibidong, who had unleashed the Rakshasa God Scythe!
The difference isn't just a few levels of Soul Power; it's the difference between divine power and Soul Power!
However, since Ye Qingcang raised this issue, it means he has a solution. "I have already discussed this with Ye Qingcang Bibidong. Bibidong's request is to give her another 100,000-Year Spirit Ring to replace the 100,000-Year Spirit Ring -100,000-Year Spirit Ring that houses your mother's soul. Before that, she will give up eroding your mother, provided that your mother doesn't retaliate... This is Soul Power to Soul Ring Manufacturing Machine. As long as enough Soul Power is injected, it can create Soul Ring of the corresponding age. The current upper limit is 50,000 years. As long as a stronger compression device is developed and raw materials that can support 100,000 -100,000-Year Spirit Ring soul rings without breaking are found, the artificial manufacture of 100,000-Year Spirit Ring will not be far off... Therefore, the only problem you need to consider is the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. Either you ask me to help, or you learn the Impure World Reincarnation Technique yourself. This secret technique can be exchanged on the academy platform. The required permission to exchange is being in the top five of the Heaven Ranking plus one million credits."
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth slightly.
Her pink eyes were full of pleading.
I recall that acacia flower that bloomed half a year ago, Lovesick Heartbroken Red.
He asked timidly, "What price will I need to pay to help you?"
"That depends on what you're willing to give up."
"Think about how much your mother is worth to you."
"Actually, I would recommend the second method more."
"Although it's a bit difficult, once you learn it, you won't need to hire anyone else, and you can even recoup your costs if you encounter someone with the same need."
"Knowledge is something that is never too expensive."
"Based on practicality, the more expensive the purchase, the more it can become your advantage and your trump card... A favorable wind can lift me to the clouds."
Ye Qingcang's advice was absolutely accurate.
Full of sincerity.
Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly as she listened.
No one else can do it as well as you can do it yourself.
No one is stronger than yourself.
If there's no way to exchange it, then so be it.
Since Ye Qingcang put this secret technique on the Blue Tyrant Academy's platform for sale, and even gave Xiao Wu directions, it means he genuinely advised Xiao Wu Xiao Wu he believed she was qualified to buy this secret technique in the future.
Xiao Wu also felt Ye Qingcang's sincere heart.
However, while her heart warmed, she was also struck by the cold reality and felt somewhat ashamed. "Thank you, but I can't afford to wait for several years... Bibidong didn't continue to harm my mother because of your kindness. Every day, she spent a huge amount of favors. Favors are priceless, and I can't repay all the favors you've spent. So, I can only choose the first option, but I really can't find... what I have that you need."
Ning Rongrong burst out laughing.
Noticing the gazes of Ye Qingcang, Violet, and Zhu Zhuqing, he quickly waved his hand and revealed the source of the humor. "Gifts are priceless, don't worry, just repay me with your body. My Xiao Wu is as soft as a feather, and she even picked the Lovesick Heartbroken Red before, she's absolutely the ideal partner for anyone... Hey, Ye Qingcang, can you give me some face?"
"Your face is worthless." Ye Qingcang waved his hand, guessing what Ning Rongrong was going to say next, and changed the subject. "One of the school rules of the Blue Tyrant Academy is that Blue Tyrant Academy will bear all the trouble caused by its students; I am not a person who likes tragic endings, so even if I owe a little favor, it is just the cost of my ticket to the play. You don't need to feel too much pressure, either publicly or privately."
"I know..." Seemingly reminded by Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu lowered her head and thought for a few seconds, surprisingly showing no resistance. "But I still choose the first option, and, if you don't mind, I can offer everything I have as payment, including my soul, please use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to revive my mother!"
"What a pity, I was originally going to say: my face could make it easier for you to blackmail me, and have my Xiao Wu play the 'one dragon, two phoenixes' game with you..." Even with Ye Qingcang and Xiao Wu's double interruptions, Ning Rongrong still said this in a joking tone, her sky-blue eyes, like glass, scrutinizing Ye Qingcang. Seeing that Ye Qingcang didn't speak, she quickly gave herself a way out. "Okay, okay, you guys talk, let's get down to business."
"Then it's settled." Ye Qingcang saw Ning Rongrong's probing, but ignored it. Since Xiao Wu had offered herself to him, he wasn't a vegetarian. "After the technological breakthrough and your mother's resurrection, I will charge you the reward I want based on your performance. But before that, you still need to grow... Violet, she's in your care."
Violet nodded meticulously.
