"How come the relationship between these two is getting better and better?"
Lu Ren Although I am a little confused.
In his memory, Jing Ziyan used to be a guy who was only interested in Soul Tool and was obsessed with having fun fighting. Now, he has become Ji Juechen's full-time caregiver.
But now is not the time to ponder such things.
He used Spiritual Power to quietly put Jing Ziyan into a deeper sleep, while keeping Ji Juechen in a coma.
Then Lu Ren tiptoed to the bedside, put his hand on Ji Juechen, and started Reverse Cursed Technique.
Warm Positive Energy poured into Ji Juechen's body along the palm of his hand. The broken bones slowly healed in the energy, and the tissues burned by the poisonous mist grew again. The wounds that were still bleeding were closed and scabbed under the cover of Positive Energy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He deliberately did not heal all the injuries at once, but only repaired the most serious internal injuries and bone fractures, leaving some flesh injuries to continue to heal naturally.
In this way, although Ji Juechen will feel that he has recovered a little quickly after waking up, he will not doubt whether he has encountered some kind of medical Miracles.
"That's all right. You should be able to continue jumping around now. The remaining skin injuries will just heal on their own in a few days."
Lu Ren clapped his hands and ducked to the outskirts of the yard.
In a dark and dank corner, Kurourushi is lying there quietly.
Its broad black robe covered the disgusting cockroach body, revealing only the cockroach head at the top, with countless orange-red compound eyes shining coldly under the Moonlight.
Kurourushi was also carrying an unconscious Bei Bei who was tightly wrapped in a black robe.
It lurked all the way from the Shrek Academy to Golden Ancient Tree. In the chaos when Zhongli Wu led the crowd to rob Ma Xiaotao, it quietly abducted Bei Bei who was recuperating, and then carried him back to Mingdu across half the continent.
He even thoughtfully wrapped Bei Bei in a black robe to prevent the wind and sun from killing him.
After seeing Lu Ren coming, Kurourushi came out from the corner and stood on the ground again. Moonlight illuminated its extremely ferocious figure.
The black robe fluttered in the night wind, revealing a small section of the cockroach's carapace edge, glowing with a scalp-numbing dark luster under the Moonlight.
It looked at Lu Ren with some anticipation, its countless compound eyes blinked at the same time, and its tentacles swung a few times in the air, as if it was silently asking its owner if he missed it after not seeing it for so long.
Lu Ren looked at his first Special Grade Cursed Spirit and was silent for a long time.
Why does it feel like this guy is getting smarter and smarter? At least he has some feelings. Could it be said that he has become wise?
Although he hasn't seen Kurourushi for a while, but for some reason, he doesn't miss him at all.
That kind of complex emotion mixed with fear, disgust and having to admit that it is really useful, will always come to my heart every time I see it.
But Lu Ren still asked, "Why did it take so long to come back?"
Kurourushi seemed a little aggrieved and pointed at Bei Bei on his back. "He is too weak. I don't dare to run too fast."
Lu Ren understands what Kurourushi means.
Now that Bei Bei's cultivation has been abolished, he is simply a disabled person. If Kurourushi ran back at the speed of Titled Douluo, it is estimated that Bei Bei would have been tortured to death in the middle.
This guy is a Cursed Spirit, how can he know how to protect people?
So I can only come back slowly.
Lu Ren raised his hand to summon Rainbow Dragon, and asked Rainbow Dragon to pull Bei Bei from Kurourushi's back.
Rainbow Dragon's huge body rose out of the dark vortex, and he carefully picked up Bei Bei with his front paws.
This greatly distances us from Kurourushi.
Then Lu Ren asked it, "Have you almost completed all the things you did in the Shrek Academy?"
Kurourushi nodded blankly, and his countless compound eyes blinked on and off at the same time, and said in intermittent human language, "I have left behind a reconnaissance cockroach - monitoring the direction of the Shrek Academy and Sky Manipulation from all directions without blind spots."
"Cockroaches hide under the bark of every tree and in the cracks of every brick."
"Mu En has not been found to come out of the Shrek Academy."
"The cockroaches can't see any movement from the Shrek Academy, they are very quiet."
Hearing Kurourushi's answer, Lu Ren was very surprised.
It's been so long, and Mu En still hasn't come to seek revenge on him?
This was completely inconsistent with what he expected.
Mu En is Level 99 Limit Douluo. Even if his life is approaching, if he really wants to find someone to fight for, no one in the entire continent can stop him.
And he is still staying in the Shrek Academy - there is no movement. Could it be that he knows that Bei Bei has been kidnapped and has no way to save himself, so he plans to die in the Shrek Academy?
"This ending is not unacceptable."
Lu Ren is still a little happy.
If Mu En really just sat down and passed away peacefully in the Shrek Academy, then he would no longer have to spend all his energy preparing to deal with a death-defying counterattack from Limit Douluo.
Of course, you still have to make preparations just in case.
He asked Rainbow Dragon to carry Bei Bei on his back and threw him into the center of the yard.
Rainbow Dragon carefully placed the unconscious Bei Bei on the ground, then disappeared into the black vortex underground.
Lu Ren called Nana who was dealing with matters, pointed at the unconscious boy on the ground, and asked her to help find a place for Bei Bei to be locked up.
Lu Ren explained, "We can't let him die. Food and drink must be provided on time, but we can't let him live too well. Make sure he lives. He is the only descendant of Mu En in this world. Living is much more useful than dying."
"If Mu En really comes to visit, and he is in his hands, even if Mu En wants to die together, he must first think about whether his great-grandson can survive."
Nana looked at the young man on the ground who was covered with bandages and had a delicate face but was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
"Understood, I will make arrangements and send another Soul Saint to keep an eye on him."
"This way, if anything happens when he wakes up, Soul Saint level guards can control the situation immediately."
"It's not impossible."
Lu Ren thought for a while. Although Bei Bei was ruined by Festering Life Sword, most of his cultivation was ruined, but after all, he was the genius of Shrek Outer Court. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
And the way he is now, it is not impossible to say that he wants to commit suicide.
After all, Shrek Seven Devils was almost completely wiped out, and his own cultivation was abolished. Anyone else would have a death wish.
If he was locked in a room alone and ignored, he might find a corpse when he pushed the door open the next day.
Then Lu Ren is really a waste of effort.
It would be safer to just ask a Soul Saint to keep an eye on him, and at the same time clean out all the things in the room that could be used to harm him.
Nana was a little hesitant at this time, twisting his fingers on the corners of his clothes several times, but still mustered up the courage to speak, "Speaking of which, Master - I don't know if I should tell you something. I have been thinking about it for several days, but I have never been sure whether you will agree."
Lu Ren glanced at Nana: "Let's talk. Why are you so polite to me?"
Nana said, "Because Holy Spirit Cult's actions are too rampant, and Master, you have been hitting Evil Soul Master hard----"
After Six Great Elders's entire army was wiped out, Holy Spirit Cult's activities in Mingdu almost came to a halt. Those children who were originally targeted by them as having the potential to become Evil Soul Master are no longer in charge."
"Holy Spirit Cult dare not send people to recruit them anymore. They are afraid that you will kill them as soon as they show up."
"Those children all lived a very difficult life. Because of Martial Soul, they almost became street rats that everyone yelled at and were extremely ostracized by the people around them."
"No one is willing to take them in, and no one is willing to give them a job, or even food. If people from Holy Spirit Cult come to recruit them at this time and guide them to become Evil Soul Master, then they will really become Evil Soul Master."
"I'm not talking about their nature Evil, it's just that no one except Holy Spirit Cult is willing to give them a way to survive." Nana's voice became lower and lower, and finally became almost a whisper, and his eye circles were slightly red.
"That's why I wanted to come over and ask you—to see what your attitude is, Master."
Lu Ren was silent for a while.
After a moment, he asked calmly, "What is our current economic situation? How many people can we support?"
"With the support of Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Ordinary Alliance, as well as your massive wealth accumulation, Star Luo City, I sold part of the Soul Bone and resources you brought back after the First World War according to your instructions."
"At this stage, we can at least maintain a moderately prosperous level, and at least we won't have to worry about food and drink for a few years."
"But it is a big problem if this continues. We are a little too dependent on the Aodu Chamber of Commerce and Ordinary Alliance.
"In case the other party no longer provides financial support due to external pressure, we will have to rely on your wealth, the master, to live."
Nana lowered his head in embarrassment and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Even if we rely on trading intelligence information to maintain operations now, it will only be a drop in the bucket."
"The profits from intelligence trading are very thin and are far from enough to support an organization's daily expenses."
"Master, will we expand our business in the future and at least be self-sufficient?"
"In this case, whether it is raising people or developing, it will not be controlled by others."
Lu Ren was silent for a long time after understanding the situation.
He raised his head and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, quickly calculating the future economic model of Spirit Pagoda in his mind.
Relying solely on his personal wealth and the assistance of the two major forces is indeed not a long-term solution, but the real core competitiveness of Spirit Pagoda is Soul Spirit Contract, which is a pioneering system that allows Soul Beast to coexist equally with mankind.
As long as this system is promoted, Spirit Pagoda will have no worries about anyone sending money to his door.
"Since we don't lack resources now, let's take over all the children you think need help."
"Ah?"
Nana raised his head in shock.
She originally thought that Lu Ren would consider economic issues first, or at least let her prepare a detailed budget plan before discussing it, but she never expected that he would agree so simply.
"Master, are you sure? This is not just one or two people. If we want to take over all the rejected children of Mingdu, there will be at least a dozen. Feeding so many people will cost a lot of money.
37
"Someone has to make the choice."
Lu Ren looked at Nana and said seriously.
There was a depth in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age, as if he had seen through many things but still chose a more difficult path.
"Rather, this is our Spirit Pagoda's responsibility from now on."
"Those Martial Soul Evil children are not in a good situation, but as long as their problems are solved at the root, the birth of Evil Soul Master can at least be greatly reduced."
"Why can Holy Spirit Cult continue to attract new blood? Why does Holy Spirit Cult have so many top-notch fighters? It's because the entire continent is acting as a promoter for them."
"As long as Martial Soul has a little bit of Dark Attribute, he will be regarded as Evil Soul Master, and he will be ostracized, discriminated against, and disliked by everyone----"
"When these people are desperate, Holy Spirit Cult can easily pull them into the abyss with just one hand."
"What we have to do is to completely eradicate everyone's current prejudice against Martial Soul Evil on the Douluo Continent."
"When everyone rejects them, we accept them, guide them, and let them live with dignity, so that they will not take refuge in Holy Spirit Cult."
"Just one less Evil Soul Master means we have saved hundreds of innocent people."
"You must know better than me how many people a Evil Soul Master can kill in a lifetime."
Nana looked at Lu Ren in surprise, with a complex look that had never been seen in his clear eyes. "No, Master, I'm just a little surprised - you would actually say such a thing, I thought you were not interested in these things."
Lu Ren has a black line. "It seems that my impression is not very good to outsiders. In the eyes of those Shrek Academy Righteous Path forces, I am afraid I am not a scumbag or a heretic."
"Well, sometimes you kill people quite neatly." Nana smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch the back of his head, "Judging from your performance, you do look more like the type who kills without blinking an eye."
"Especially during Star Luo City, I heard the battle report from the front saying that you slaughtered the entire Shrek team by yourself. I was thinking at that time, the master is really cruel."
"I have never said that I am a good person, but I also never think that I am a completely bad person."
"When those Shrek people killed two of our team members on Arena, we didn't see any mercy from them." Lu Ren said in a deep voice.
"People are complicated. You can't put a label on a person and just rely on your own impressions to think that he should be like this."
"I am the one who kills people, and I am the one who saves people. There is no contradiction between the two."
"Although killing people has a bad reputation, but not killing people--doesn't this mean that I let those geniuses live?" Lu Ren laughed out loud, "I killed so many of their teammates in front of them, and they must have accumulated hatred for me in their hearts. Could it be that I have to keep the lives of the remaining geniuses and wait for them to grow up and fuck me in the future, right?"
"A mere reputation is nothing to me." Lu Ren waved his hand.
"Besides, Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall. From now on, no one is willing to bother to hunt down Evil Soul Master. Why?"
"It's not because Evil Soul Master itself is extremely powerful, killing them is troublesome and has no benefits.
,"Guess why Spirit Hall's angel lineage is willing to hunt down Evil Soul Master?"
Nana tilted his head curiously. "Because they Goodness?"
Lu Ren shook his head. "This is one of the reasons, but from my personal opinion, the most essential reason is that people of the angel lineage have Holy Attribute's Martial Soul."
"By killing Evil Soul Master, they can purify Evil Soul Master's evil power. Purifying Evil Soul Master can also improve their own cultivation."
"This is the main reason."
"Because it is in their interests to kill Evil Soul Master."
"If killing Evil Soul Master can directly upgrade your Soul Power cultivation level, how many Soul Master do you think will rush to kill him?"
"In the final analysis, profit motivation is always more durable than moral motivation."
"Morality will tire, and the sense of justice will fade, but interests will not."
"So if we want to truly eradicate the scourge of Evil Soul Master, it is not enough to rely on a sense of justice. We must make it more profitable not to be Evil Soul Master" than to be Evil Soul Master."
Nana opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes full of shock.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Lu Ren was too brave to say it.
He actually dismantled the sacred mission of the angel lineage into profit-driven utilitarian logic.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed the case.
"I accidentally said too much."
Lu Ren covered his mouth, realizing that his analysis just now might be too realistic for a girl, so he changed back to his normal tone.
"There is no need to tell you this now, Nana. If you have thought about it, then take those children over. I will have no problem."
"But while taking over, we must educate them well and at the same time suppress their Evil Martial Soul instinct to devour the lives of others."
"Many Evil Martial Souls are born to kill others to improve their own cultivation. If they are not restrained from an early age, they will easily go astray."
"You have to let them understand that Martial Soul is a tool, not the master. It is they who control Martial Soul, not Martial Soul who controls them."
"I will be careful. Thank you for agreeing to this ridiculous request of mine."
"To be honest, I was already prepared to be dismissed by you before I opened my mouth." Nana lowered his head in shame, with his ponytail hanging weakly on his shoulders.
She was also the one who was forced to be Holy Servant in Holy Spirit Cult Branch Altar, and she knew very well how desperate those children who were abandoned by the world were.
"It's not ridiculous. Even if you don't say it, I plan to do this in the future. If Spirit Pagoda's future is just an ordinary organization, there is essentially no difference from the Shrek Academy. The only difference lies in who we fight and what we can do for the mainland."
Lu Ren chuckled and continued, "Also, for those children who are taken over, you have to instill in them the idea that it is impossible to live and eat here for free. You must fight for it with your own hands and contribute to us Spirit Pagoda in order to obtain more resources."
"Although they are still young, there are still many things they can do, such as helping you with chores in the yard, or learning Soul Tool - otherwise it will be easy to raise white-eyed wolves, do you understand?"
"Just give and don't take away. As time goes by, they will feel that everything is taken for granted, and by then it will be too late to correct it."
Nana nodded, with a serious look on his face. "I understand this, it's a matter of friendship and hatred. Don't worry, I will develop a complete contribution system so that they can understand the relationship between contribution and reward from an early age."
"Well, there is a certain degree of control in everything. The same is true for education, and the same is true for management. If it is too loose, it will fall apart, if it is too tight, it will break. I believe you can do it." Lu Ren nodded slightly.
That gesture looked like an elder giving homework to the younger generation.
Nana, who seemed to have been taught a lesson by his elders, lowered his head and couldn't help complaining in a low voice. "----You are obviously the same age as me, why do you feel like you are like an old man?"
"The tone of her voice doesn't look like she is fifteen."
Lu Ren The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Ahem, I was joking." Nana quickly explained, but the smile on her face had already betrayed her.
"No, it's okay----" Lu Ren, who was inexplicably called an old man, kept a stiff smile, then turned and left the yard.
"I'm going to continue with my cultivation. It's up to you."
He is going to find an open space outside the city and start taming Shikigami in Ten Shadows Technique.
