Arc 3: Part 9
Beast core!
Who would use a beast core to create candied hawthorns!
Almost shaking with astonishment, Tong Su accepted the "candied hawthorn," whispering, "Senior Brother, what's this skewer made of?"
Tian Xuanzi thought for a moment and responded, "It should be the Thunder Spirit Bamboo I planted when I first started cultivating. It's been a thousand years and it's still strong. I couldn't find a suitable skewer in my universe ring, so I used a small branch."
A thousand-year-old Thunder Spirit Bamboo!
The eyes of the disciples who were on the ground turned red in envy.
The beast core had a strong spiritual force, at least a seventh-tier one, equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator's power.
And this thousand-year Thunder Spirit Bamboo, valuable enough to be used for refining top-quality magical tools, was used to skewer candied hawthorns instead!
Such a waste!
Even during this life-or-death critical moment, it was hard for the disciples to hold back their breakdown. They looked fearfully and greedily at the crimson-colored candied hawthorn.
Tong Su had some idea that these were probably extraordinary items, but she didn't understand their value since there was no such concept in the host's memory she inherited.
She gave Tian Xuanzi a brilliant smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Ah Tong loves it!"
Tian Xuanzi slightly nodded, reached out to take her pulse, and frowned after a moment, "Fortunately, there are no hidden injuries in your body. Who took away your spiritual root?"
He noticed Tong Su's physical condition at first sight. However, considering the candied hawthorn he had promised to give her before parting ways, his priority was to first give that to her. Upon seeing her satisfaction with the candied hawthorn, he then inquired about her health.
Tong Su understood his thoughts, and was considering how to answer when a thought suddenly struck her.
No, that's not right.
If Tian Xuanzi adored the original host as much as he seemed to, she could simply tell him that Feng Yin Yue was behind her problems and let him deal with that person, isn't that true?
The original host would not die, Feng Yin Yue would not be designated as the top disciple in Zi Wei Heavenly Palace and couldn't ally with the demon world, hence preventing their invasion. Tian Xuanzi would not have to transform into a seal to suppress the dimension gate. Would that not help complete her task?
It seemed so simple...
But how could that be so easy!
"666, are you hiding something from me?"
She immediately questioned in her heart, but 666 was silent.
Tong Su sneered, "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I guess if I complain to Tian Xuanzi about Feng Yin Yue right now, instead of completing the mission immediately, I will probably fail instantly, won't I?"
【Hehehe, miss, you are quite perceptive...】
666, feeling guilty, popped up and said cautiously: 【Yes, this is the actual requirement of that hidden mission: she cannot ask the demon lord to do things for her!】
"What do you mean?"
【The original host's biggest regret is that Tian Xuanzi sacrificed himself during the Demon Realm invasion. Her request for the mission is to protect Tian Xuanzi, so she cannot accept the male protagonist confronting the demon race for her sake ahead of time.】
Tong Su furrowed her brows, "Cannot tell him? Wouldn’t that make such a strong external assistance wasted?"
666 felt like crying but had no tears, 【That's why this mission is so difficult... If you really cannot carry on, we can give up all our points, at most we owe a large debt, and abandon this mission.】
"No way!" Tong Su refused decisively, "If Tian Xuanzi cannot take action, I will personally plan out a strategy to deal with Feng Yin Yue! We absolutely cannot fail the mission without a fight.”
【Alright, alright. Also, miss, you cannot ask Tian Xuanzi for help, cannot reveal the truth, cannot hint indirectly, and cannot request his aid... in short, you cannot ask him for help in any form or sense.】
"..." Tong Su sighed genuinely, "What's the use of having this cheat?"
666 trembled and forced himself to keep his composure, 【Actually, the senior brother is quite handsome, you can at least look at him as a mascot or decoration... It's pleasing to the eye...】
"666, you know, you really didn't have to say that."
【Alright, alright, I understand. QAQ】
