Wu Yingxue seemed sluggish and numb only because she was too sad.

Rather than being really stupid.

From Xu Xi's words, she instantly thought of what great changes this technique would bring once it appeared.

The entire border line...

No, the whole Daqian will become turbulent because of this.

What confused the girl even more was whether such a technique could really be created, and why Xu Xi wanted to do such a laborious and unpopular thing.

Xu Xi's talent is obviously very high, so he doesn't need to consider the training method.

Is it really for rebellion?

"No, I'm not interested in rebellion," Xu Xi shook his head, rejecting the girl's idea.

Several days passed.

The rainy clouds have long since dispersed.

Instead, there was a bright and hot sunny day.

The sky was azure blue, dotted with pure white clouds. From time to time, birds would flap their wings and fly over Qingniu Town in flocks.

In the sunlight.

The girl's confusion became more obvious.

"Then why are you doing this? It obviously won't bring you any benefits," Wu Yingxue was puzzled.

The ultimate result of creating a technique that anyone can practice is that ordinary people can become warriors.

But for Xu system.

For Xu Xi, who has already reached the innate realm.

This practice is totally useless.

Xu Xi did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood in the courtyard exposed to the sun, with his palms shaped like knives, and chopped at inconspicuous places in the air.

“Sizzle—”

There was a sound like cloth tearing.

The sharp blade flew out of his hand and cut off the body of a demon bird. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, causing the people in the town to scream in surprise.

"Brother Xu is awesome. We have meat to eat again!"

"Niu, hurry up and cut off the most tender part and send it to Xi'er."

"Okay!"

Cheers, joy, and noise.

The body of the demon bird is very hard and difficult to cut into pieces, at least for mortals.

So.

Qingniu Town became lively.

Old and young, women and children, all watched with laughter as the grown men hacked at the flesh of the demon bird with knives again and again. It took a long time before they cut off a small piece.

During this process, the people of Qingniu Town almost never stopped cheering for the Xu family.

Even without leaving the house.

Wu Yingxue could also hear the gratitude that was so clear that it seemed to reach the depths of her soul, as well as the tiredness and weakness hidden in the voice.

"Yingxue, did you hear that?"

Xu Xi slowly retracted his knife.

He glanced at the girl and said, "This is the reason."

His voice was very calm, like water without joy or sorrow, but beneath that calmness was hidden an indescribable fire of repression:

"I have no interest in rebellion, no interest in the position of emperor, and I have never thought about becoming a martial arts master to educate the world."

"I only know that in this land ruled by Daqian, in this land full of demons."

"Someone can no longer survive..."

Life is fading away quickly.

There are many reasons for passing away.

They may be eaten by demons, crushed by taxes, or beaten to death.

These reasons are not normal, they are morbid and deformed.

People shouldn't be like this.

"When people are hungry, they should eat rice, not the flesh and blood of demons."

"When people are cold, they should wear clothes instead of wrapping themselves in tattered straw mats."

"If people are scared, they should run away instead of standing there and waiting to die."

"People should live like humans and in a human way."

"They don't have the strength, so I will give it to them."

Different from the acquired warriors who have reached the fifth level of physical training.

It's just pure physical enhancement.

After being promoted to the Xiantian realm, Xu Xi, who was at the first step of observing principles, already possessed special martial arts abilities and was able to observe the changes in the operation of heaven and earth.

It was a special kind of martial arts eye that allowed him to see extremely far.

So, Xu Xi saw it.

Through countless earth walls, I could see where the demon bird fell.

People were staring at the monster meat, their stomachs rumbling with hunger, but they still instructed Ah Niu, who was holding a knife, to cut off the tenderest part for Xu Xi first.

They are very hungry.

My legs are weak from hunger.

After a brutal winter, Qingniu Town had long run out of food.

Only the flesh and blood of demons, as well as the weeds and trees that sprout in spring, can serve as food for humans.

But.

Not enough to eat.

It’s not enough to eat.

As winter passed and there were no more demonic attacks, Qingniu Town lost its most important source of food.

The people were so hungry that their cheeks were sticking to their bones, revealing a deep purple color from long-term consumption of demon flesh and blood, but even so, they still wanted to eat.

Anything is fine. Everything is good.

They are so hungry...

There is no way to continue living...

"Go, alive."

Wu Yingxue muttered to herself, repeating these three words over and over again.

Three very ordinary words.

But inexplicably, the girl, whose body was numbed by grief, once again felt the warmth of blood.

Memories of childhood flooded her mind. Back then, the girl was still a princess of noble status, reading novels and listening to storytelling.

To the savior of the story, to the hero who saves everything.

Have endless fantasies.

She dreams and longs to become such a hero one day, to be praised and loved by others with the great slogans of "saving the world" and "killing demons and monsters".

But now, the 17-year-old girl suddenly realized.

A simple word "keep on living" is better than thousands of words in the world.

Father...

Mother...

King Dingyuan who rebelled against the "rebels" in anger, his mother who died tragically in the sky prison, the people who were forced into a dead end, and the mortals who were brutally tortured and devoured by demons.

At this moment.

There were numerous memory scenes flashing back in Wu Yingxue's mind at high speed.

Finally, frozen in the present, frozen in Xu Xi’s face, frozen in Xu Xi’s words to live.

The eyes that had been dark for many days finally regained their luster.

The distraught face regained its heroic spirit.

The girl thought.

She had probably found it.

With the help of Xu Xi, I found new meaning in life.

Wu Yingxue wants to survive and help more people survive!

"gentlemen."

"What's wrong, Yingxue?"

"Can you let me study with you a technique that can be practiced by everyone?"

The sky was clear and the sun shone through the clouds, illuminating the desire in the girl's eyes.

Xu Xi was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, but I can't guarantee that this path will work in the end. It's more likely to be a waste of time."

"It's okay, sir," Wu Yingxue took a deep breath and smiled brilliantly, "At least now, I want to try it with you."

"Well, you're welcome to join us."

Xu Xi said.

Wu Yingxue was from the royal family after all, so even if her realm was low, her skills were flawed.

But that knowledge and foundation can still help.

Maybe.

With the addition of Wu Yingxue, "Yang Yuan Gong" can really transform into what Xu Xi expects.
