"...Who would raise a child to this age just to eat?" Feng Xue's expression seemed to be half crying and half laughing, and her originally cold voice had completely collapsed. "I'm not Hua Biyue, nor am I named Hannibal... Xiao Ren, I'm your sister!"
All along, she taught Xiao Ren how to write and speak. Based on the little memory left by Hua Biyue, she taught Xiao Ren how to heal wounds and which martial arts techniques were most appropriate for cultivation. She used this physical body to stay with Xiao Ren, to prevent her from suffering any misfortune due to her care during their first meeting.
But it was also Xiao Ren who, bewildered and yet diligently, listened countless times as she reminisced about a world she might never return to, unconditionally obeying each request that was clearly incompatible with this place. When she was sad, Xiao Ren stayed with her; when she cried, Xiao Ren hugged her... It was a mess to determine who had done more for whom. Feng Xue had given Xiao Ren a name and life force, and Xiao Ren, in turn, had protected and witnessed that soul from another world.
Perhaps it is because of this that even in such a twisted and perverted environment, Feng Xue still retains a large part of himself.
Her sense of morality was almost the same as in her previous life. Faced with the almost tortured hunger of this body, she had been tortured to the point of being like a dead tree countless times, but she refused to go with the flow.
But now it is a dead end.
Feng Xue suddenly recalled a conversation she had with a friend in her past life. Her face and name were hazy in her memory, but her opinions were vivid enough to stick with her. She said that arriving in a foreign land was like lying in labor, and the adjustment period was always a painful one. Even after adapting, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. It was because she wasn't a local at heart, so she had to feel like the child wasn't her own. However, there were exceptions. If one had enough hard currency and was spending money on soft currency, one could live comfortably.
Xiao Ren's gentle breathing echoed in Feng Xue's ears, and the sweet, bloody scent of her body lingered in her nose constantly. If they delayed any longer, whether she lost control of her mind or Hua Biliu arrived in anger, both of their lives would be in jeopardy.
…It was just a matter of adapting to the environment. Feng Xue thought, just treat it as the local culinary tradition of fish sashimi, three squeaks, and dragon-tiger fights. The shape of that arm did remind her of old nightmares, but its essence was still a piece of raw, fishy, alien beast meat.
In previous lives, the hard currency was money; in this life, the hard currency is cultivation. In the past, if you didn't eat the local delicacies at tourist attractions, you might regret it. But if you didn't eat this arm, you could lose your life.
Hua Bilu swallowed her in one gulp, and Xiao Ren didn't need to do as much psychological preparation as she did. He didn't even hesitate.
She needs cultivation, she needs strength, she needs... to protect Xiao Ren and herself.
Feng Xue pushed aside the blade and lunged at the arm with the bracelet, desperately shoving the flesh and bones down her throat, not fearing she would choke to death. Her tears flowed like a flood, but compared to the previous time, she was now crying in a chaotic manner.
"Fuck that noble new body! That old idiot just doesn't understand how technology can change the world. For all these years, he hasn't even had reproductive isolation from humans, and he's sired tons of kids. Does he really think he's a big shot?" Feng Xue sobbed and hiccuped, practically closing her eyes as she swallowed the raw, fishy flesh. "This is the meat of a local specialty alien intelligent creature... An octopus has the intelligence of a twelve or thirteen-year-old... I'm so ambitious I'd eat the flesh of the barbarians when I'm hungry, and I'd drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I'm thirsty..."
"Sister." Xiao Ren called Feng Xue softly. He was obviously worried that she had gone crazy after hearing a long string of incomprehensible words.
Feng Xue swallowed the last bite of the fishy raw meat. She saw her own reflection in Xiao Ren's pupils: her mouth was full of blood and her pupils were vertical and scary.
However, Xiaoren's expression was still one of pure concern and trust.
Feng Xue closed her eyes, hugged Xiao Ren again, and suddenly smiled.
The sobbing in her voice had not faded, but her tone was cruel and ruthless: "From now on, if anyone treats you as food in front of me again, I will kill him."
After the pain, there is rebirth.
