Yao Ziyi coughed awkwardly. He was indeed joking on purpose.
He couldn't bear to see Xiang Sheng show that expression. No matter how inappropriate the joke was, as long as the effect was achieved, it was fine.
"In two days, Second Brother and the others will be back with the raw marrow."
He talked about the purpose of coming here this time: "The raw marrow is rare, and the Xuan Palace Master also helped."
Xiang Sheng hummed lightly, then remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Now that you're back this time, don't leave."
Yao Ziyi's heart was shaken, but he remained calm and said with a steady smile, "Junior Sister, this is not a joke."
"It's not a joke."
Xiang Sheng looked at the river calmly, his words serious:
"Third Brother, you know that once the body decays, it is irreversible. No matter how many natural treasures you have, they will be useless.
Instead of running around outside, Second Brother and the others should save their time and spend more time with me."
After these words were spoken, Yao Ziyi could no longer suppress the bitterness in his heart, and his eyes turned red.
He knows.
But precisely because he knew this, he was even more reluctant to give up.
If it wasn't for the purpose of preventing them from becoming victims of the eldest brother's continuation of the Six Senses of Destiny, the younger sister wouldn't have needed to get involved in this dispute.
If she had not been involved in this dispute, she would not have been targeted by Xue Jiushu, and then her army would not have been disbanded, her future would not have been ruined, and she would have even been in danger of losing her life.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long will it take?"
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ten years, my two disciples still don't know about it, so don't let it slip."
She was joking on the surface, but she sighed in her heart.
This is not a lie.
Half a month ago, she did have ten years left.
When she woke up this morning, her body had deteriorated again, and it was probably less than ten years old.
After the war, she was exhausted and slept for ten years.
Although her physical body was destroyed, she had reached the perfection of the fusion stage. Even though her physical body was severely damaged, there was still a trace of connection between her soul and the physical body.
Thanks to this slight connection, the body still had a trace of life. The injuries on the body did not improve at all, but they did not worsen at all either.
But as time went by, the trace of vitality in the body became weaker and weaker.
She began to use Yuanquan to heal her wounds, and with the help of rare treasures found by her senior brothers and sisters from Wuming Peak, she stopped the deteriorating trend.
Then, another thirty years passed, and the effects of the natural treasures and Yuanquan gradually weakened, and the injuries on his body began to worsen.
Xiang Sheng had no choice but to use the artistic conception of time to make his body almost stand still in time.
But if she did so, the artistic conception of time would be greatly consumed, and she would not be able to maintain it forever.
Every time she came out of the state of mind, she could feel her body rapidly deteriorating.
"ten years……"
Yao Ziyi muttered to himself, feeling a piercing pain rising from his heart, making him feel suffocated.
He knew that his junior sister's body was about to collapse, but he didn't expect that the remaining time would be so short.
He tried his best to suppress the bitterness churning in his heart, but ultimately failed to conceal it. His eyes turned red, and he forced a smile as ugly as Wang Tuo's:
"I'll send a message right away, asking Second Brother and the others to come back as soon as possible."
Xiang Sheng hummed. Now that the words were out, she didn't intend to hide them any further and continued, "In the last three years, I plan to try my luck at the Heritage Tower."
She has experienced the same desperate situation five times.
Every time, she never gave up, and this time was no exception.
Even if this time her hope is slimmer than any other time and she is destined to die, she will never be willing to die in such a cowardly way.
Yao Ziyi didn't look surprised when he heard this. With Junior Sister's temperament, how could she just sit there and wait for death? He just asked, "How confident are you?"
Xiang Sheng laughed dumbly: "If you are sure, it won't be just luck."
Yao Ziyi gave a bitter laugh: "Can't you just lie to your senior brother?"
"False hope only hurts."
Xiang Sheng gathered his sleeves, tilted his head and curved his eyes: "I should go back now, Third Brother, see you later."
Yao Ziyi lowered his eyes to glance at the purple-black bloodstain on her sleeve, pursed his lips, and nodded silently.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the lights come on.
Xiang Sheng cleaned the wounds all over his body, put on new bandages, and was about to control the water flow of time that had recovered a lot to fix his injuries.
Suddenly, a voice full of arrogance sounded in my ears.
"Xiang Sheng, you have reached the end of your rope and your death is approaching.
This spirit is merciful and can give you one more chance. If you accept me as your master, I may be able to save your life!"
Xiang Sheng paused in his movements, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in them.
It goes without saying that the owner of this voice is the inheritance tower spirit.
She had just mentioned the inheritance tower to her third senior brother during the day, and at night the tower was eager to transmit the message. There was no such coincidence in the world.
The only possibility is that the inheritance tower spirit has been secretly watching her.
The inheritance tower spirit seemed to be more afraid of her death than she was, and was more anxious for her to recognize its master.
She never believed that she was the only one who could inherit the tower spirit.
In the endless future, there will always be brilliant geniuses who pass the test of the inheritance tower.
The tower spirit has waited for hundreds of thousands of years. If it can sleep for a while longer, maybe a new candidate for successor will appear. Why is it so anxious?
The inheritance tower spirit didn't know that he had been exposed as soon as he showed up.
Seeing that Xiang Sheng didn't respond for a long time, it became angry.
A dying man clearly said during the day that he wanted to try his luck with him.
Now that it has put aside its pride and come to her on its own initiative, why is she still being reserved and hesitant?
Just as the thought came to this, the tower spirit saw Xiang Sheng finally speak, but what he said was far beyond its expectations.
"Lord Ta Ling is so high and mighty, when did you start to like eavesdropping?"
Xiang Sheng was smiling, but his smile was extremely cold: "Sir, do you think that what I said during the day about trying my luck means that I recognize you as my master?"
The inheritance tower was filled with spiritual energy and exhaled: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not."
Xiang Sheng flipped his hand and a flash of sword light appeared in his palm. "Even ants can survive, but if I can only be a slave for the rest of my life, then I don't want to do that either."
When Master Ta Ling saw the immortal sword, his expression changed slightly and he shouted angrily, "I have promised you that as long as you escape this world, I will set you free. I will never break my promise!"
"Everyone can say nice things."
Xiang Sheng turned his head and stared at the void. Fortunately, at this moment his sight penetrated the barrier and saw the true form of the tower spirit.
She sighed, "If I acknowledge you as my master and you then change your mind, how can I, a weak human, resist?"
The tower spirit was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He never told lies and always did what he said, but as a spirit of an artifact, he was not bound by oaths. He also knew that even if he said this, Xiang Sheng would not believe it.
"Xiang Sheng, I'm asking you one last time. Would you really rather die than acknowledge me as your master?!"
Without even raising his eyelids, Xiang Sheng said, "Master Tower Spirit, there's no need to ask again. My answer remains the same as it was in the tower."
After these words were spoken, the spiritual energy of the tower almost ascended to heaven, and the whole dragon rolled back and forth beside the stone tablet.
It really couldn't understand, how could there be such a cruel and ruthless person in the world who would not even give up his own life for dignity?
