Chapter 362 The Flame of the Soul & [70,000]
She looked up at Little Machi, whose eyes were still glistening with tears, but most of the pain and sorrow from before had melted away. For some reason, she seemed more relaxed.
Little Machi said earnestly, "Ravenclaw, your emotions are as inexhaustible and precious as the spring water of the Undying Fountain. Although your soul fire changes from time to time, it has always been beautiful, just like Hufflepuff and the Moon Emperor of Mistblade..."
Yu Xunge looked at Little Machi's divinely bestowed talent—[Soul Watercolor] Rank A
One of the skills is called [Soul Observation] (passive): Souls are the best paint, never fading. You can see the soul fire of every target, and you can materialize the soul fire by spending 10% of your mana.
She asked Little Machi, "What does my soul fire look like?"
Little Machi slowly raised her pale, thin hand and, with Yu Xunge's tacit approval, gently touched her brow. Her hand then retreated, and a meteor-like flame appeared between them, like a comet streaking across the sky, trailing a long tail of flame behind it.
The main body of the Flame Meteor is a white flame, which occupies almost 90% of the area of this soul fire. Little Machi pointed to the white flame and said, "This is the unwavering persistence and pursuit in your heart."
The white flame trailed a fiery tail, with tiny sparks of varying lengths and colors. Little Machi pointed them out one by one, explaining, "These are the emotions you can't shake off or let go of: love, hate, joy, regret, sorrow, compassion, pity, expectation, greed..."
She then pointed to several intertwined flames that were impossible to unravel, "These are your most complex emotions, which cannot be simply defined. This is greed and restraint... This is resentment, grievance and relief... This is longing, vigilance and resistance... This is respect, gratitude, defensiveness and guilt..."
Little Machi suddenly exclaimed with delight, "Ah! There are also these two flame tails! I almost missed them! I almost missed the mercy hidden within these two flame tails of hatred!"
Tulan asked her, "Wow, really? But why are those two hair-like flames flickering?"
"Because its owner is trying to deny it, she wants to get rid of it, she thinks it's wrong, but emotions and persistence never talk about right or wrong... It's amazing, Ravenclaw, you seem to have never regretted it, you have no regrets, and no anger."
Tulan followed Little Machi's finger, looking at everything with amazement. She even took out her phone to take a few pictures.
Before Yu Xunge could say anything, Tu Lan interrupted, "She is never impulsive. She always thinks things over several times before acting. She probably will never regret anything in her life. As for anger, she either doesn't make enemies, or if she does, she takes revenge in private. There's nothing to be angry about."
"Yeah?"
Yu Xunge did not deny Tu Lan's words, but instead frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Soul Flame lacking anger and regret?"
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Little Machi looked at Yu Xunge with sparkling eyes. “Your soul fire is like a jewel, like a star, like a painting. I could look at it all day and not find it boring.”
Tulan asked worriedly, "But is it a good thing that her soul fire is so complex?"
Little Machi neither nodded nor shook her head, but gave this answer: "Emotions are more important than luck. Every living being possesses a soul fire, although most living beings cannot see it, but your perception will guide you to those soul fires that can warm you."
"A brilliant and beautiful soul fire can attract rare and exotic creatures and special objects. If a creature's emotions are barren, monotonous, and dull, its soul may even perish on its own."
"For example, the most crucial step for a wild beast to develop intelligence and become a mythical beast is to generate strong emotions that ignite its soul fire. However, without more complex emotions as a supplement and support, they will eventually degenerate and lose their divinely bestowed talents."
"However, without sufficient perseverance, emotions become a heavy burden."
Tu Lan nodded repeatedly: "No wonder I like Xiao Yu so much... And me, Little Machi, can you take a look at my soul fire?"
Little Machi refused: "Hatchap said that I cannot look at the souls of dragons, or I will be seriously injured."
Tu Lan sat down with a sigh of regret, muttering to herself as she set Yu Xun Ge's Soul Flame as her phone wallpaper and admired it with delight. She quickly cheered up again.
Yu Xunge stared at her soul fire for a long time, speechless. After a while, she came to her senses and said to Xiao Maqi, "Thank you."
Little Machi didn't understand why Yu Xunge thanked her, but she said, "Can I change my condition?"
"What are the conditions?"
"If one day you become a powerful figure like the Mist Blade Moon Emperor, the Withered Monarch, or the Ruler of Language, and the entire Zelan hears your name, you must tell all the Holy Races that Little Machi of Dark City is your most important and most honored friend."
"A bad reputation is acceptable? Aren't you afraid my enemies will come after you?"
“Yes! I’m not afraid! Hedgehog will protect me.”
Yu Xunge silently mourned for Hufflepuff for a few seconds, then gave Little Machi her little finger: "Okay, I'll do whatever Little Machi says."
Little Machi looked at Yu Xunge's little finger with a puzzled expression. The latter took Little Machi's right little finger, hooked the two little fingers together, and shook them. Yu Xunge explained to Little Machi, "This is a ritual from our side. After making a pinky promise, you must do what you promise. Do you believe it?"
I believe it!
Little Machi obediently made a pinky promise with her and asked, "Will I give it to you now?"
Yu Xunge reached out and said, "Okay, but hurry up."
Little Machi quickly took the Tomb of the World out of her pack and gave it to Yu Xunge. Then she took out a bottle of forgetfulness potion and said to Yu Xunge, "You won't forget, right?"
Yu Xunge is looking at what the World Tomb he obtained is.
Hearing Little Machi's words, she reached out and pressed the bottle of potion: "No need to drink it, I won't forget."
Hufflepuff must know that Little Machi came looking for her, and so many people saw her going home with Little Machi. She suspected that this was a deliberate act by the clever Little Machi, a safeguard for herself. Even if the deal fell through, she could at least save her life.
But in any case, it was pointless for her to make Maggie lose her memory.
Once Little Machi discovers that the Tomb of the World is missing, she will definitely investigate. Not only will she be able to quickly find out that she went home with her that day, but the more she investigates, the more likely she is to encounter unexpected twists and turns.
Little Machi had hidden the 70,000 very well before the transaction, and with Hufflepuff protecting it, she didn't need to do anything extra.
Once the transaction was completely finished, Tu Lan jumped onto Yu Xunge's head and asked, "What was it? What was it?"
Yu Xunge: "Seventy thousand."
Although she can't combine the [30,000] and [50,000] items she has to form a new skill, she can bring an extra item into the battlefield, and her honor points have increased by another 10,000, reaching a total of 61,050.
Little Machi cautioned, "This thing doesn't stay in one place for long. If you don't use it within 150 days, it will leave on its own. I once got one, and then it suddenly disappeared."
