Chapter 555 Equivalent Exchange
Outside the water mirror.
Ruan Wei's voice became hoarse from reciting too much.
However, the calls of living beings seem to be heard only by the gods in the same space, so no matter how painfully and helplessly people murmur and surrender, the gods next door always turn a deaf ear to them, because they believe that their choice is the most appropriate.
With the help of Zhuzhao and Youying, the lavender light and shadow once again appeared in the realm of Liangyi, and it heard Chi Jin's "bold words".
Tiandao: "Oh?"
It was a rare tone, almost joking.
This teasing was probably not directed at Chi Jin, but at You Ying and Liu Dao, as if asking: Are you itching for trouble? Haven't you been punished enough?
The gaze of the Heavenly Dao also fell on Liang Yi. Zhu Zhao turned his face away stiffly, and You Ying quickly hid behind Zhu Zhao.
They are very safe and secure.
Tiandao withdrew his gaze calmly.
At this time.
Chi Jin took a step forward, staring at Tian Dao, and repeated once again: "Tian Dao, I want to make another deal with you."
He seemed exceptionally determined.
He also seemed certain that Heaven would agree to his deal.
"Tell me about it."
Tiandao is indeed willing to listen to Chi Jin's ideas.
Because the transaction involves Ruan Wei, Chi Jin will inevitably think of her, and his emotions will be unconsciously aroused. He has no way of knowing what his senior sister, who has been taken away by Tiandao, looks like now. Because of the unknown, he is worried.
Chi Jin pursed her lips and said, "Whatever Senior Sister made a deal with you, I will make the same deal with you."
"Let's exchange equal value. You let Senior Sister come back."
"Um?"
Tiandao waited patiently for a while, and after making sure that Chi Jin had nothing more to say, he slowly said, "Not enough."
Chi Jin's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
"Didn't Liang Yi tell you? You made a deal with me before, so in this life, only half of your soul remains within you. Ruan Wei promised me the whole thing. Comparing the two... I think even a three-year-old could calculate this."
“…”
Tiandao still smiled calmly: "Besides, do you dare to say that you can compare with Ruan Wei?"
Chi Jin was speechless.
He was competing with his senior sister? What was he competing with? What could he possibly be competing with?
How is this possible? Chi Jin is confident but not arrogant. He also knows very well that in the entire cultivation world, it is impossible to find someone who can compare to Ruan Wei.
Pearl.
She is the only pearl here.
Ruan Wei's personality doesn't allow her to be the sun. She is not someone who is willing to shine and warm others, but she is very good at being the moon.
The moon hangs high in the sky, its moonlight is cold and without temperature, and it is covered with silver light as armor. It does not care about anyone's thoughts, but only focuses on moving towards its goal.
Just as Youying said.
Ruan Wei is a natural born moon goddess.
Her compassionate heart was acquired through her teachings in Penglai, and her Vajra-like methods were the result of her extreme rationality.
How could he ever compare to this pearl that was born before the annihilation of the world of cultivation, this moon that came into the world with all the hopes of the world's will?
We don't seek to surpass others, but to be on par with them.
Chi Jin's throat was dry. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but finally tried to fight for it: "...Don't you want anything else? I can find it for you. No matter what, I will bring back what you need. Is this price enough?"
"not enough."
Tian Dao insisted: "I only accept equal exchange."
It paused for a moment.
Then he slowly said, "Not to mention that half is not enough, even if you have everything, it can't replace Ruan Wei."
Chi Jin's face turned pale.
"What if they come against us again?"
Youying popped her head out from behind Zhuzhao indignantly.
"Oh?" Tiandao smiled. "You can, but I've already said that I only trade souls. Are you two sure you want to trade souls with me?"
Youying's voice stopped abruptly.
Zhuzhao stuffed it back behind his back and shook his head in refusal: "We don't exchange souls."
Can the souls of their holy spirits be the same as the souls of ordinary monks!
If you really change it, you will suffer a great loss!
Youying was still angry, but it was not stupid. Although it helped, it did so within its ability.
"Then there's no room for negotiation." Tiandao made the final decision.
“Heaven’s Way!!”
You Ying gritted her teeth. "While what you're doing isn't against the rules, it's completely unreasonable! If you insist on doing this, I'll definitely complain to the Heavenly Punishment! I'll also have the Heavenly Punishment file a complaint before all the spirits!"
"As you wish. I will also truthfully report to the emperor that you and Zhu Zhao have not mended their ways despite being punished, and have once again interfered in the affairs of the lower realm."
"you!!"
Zhuzhao stopped Youying.
Zhu Zhao frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Tian Dao, your current behavior... is really unlike you."
Although Zhuzhao had little contact with Tiandao, he never thought that Tiandao was a judge who would covet other spirits, otherwise it would not have become the leader of the Four Saints.
Taking Ruan Wei's soul at such a critical moment... This is not a choice that a smart person can make.
"Yeah."
Unexpected.
Tiandao only said these two words softly, and there was no further words.
It has not forgotten who really wants to negotiate with it.
Tiandao looked at Chi Jin and asked, "I can't make the deal you proposed. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll go back and have dinner."
Youying and Zhuzhao: “?!”
No, you really eat it!
Chi Jin's eyes narrowed: "No!"
Tiandao looked at Chi Jin leisurely. There were no facial features in the light and shadow condensed from him, making it impossible to tell what expression Tiandao had at the moment. But judging from the aura around him, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Chi Jin took a deep breath.
My mind was filled with the words "let's eat" that Tiandao had just said.
"Half, I'll trade half with you."
Chi Jin finally stated the bottom line that he and Liang Yi had agreed upon at the beginning. Tian Dao was so determined to keep Ruan Wei, and there was no trace of his previous appreciation for talent. This was something that neither Chi Jin nor Liang Yi had expected.
Zhu Zhao found it very strange.
The way of heaven that it understands is clearly not like this.
Once the hardest words are said, the rest of the plan will no longer be a secret.
Chi Jin said in a rush, "Let's make an equal exchange. I'll use the remaining half of my soul to exchange for the other half of my senior sister's soul. How about this, Tiandao?"
Half is also fine.
Half can survive.
This is Chi Jin’s personal experience.
Faced with the dominance of Heaven, Chi Jin could not force it with a clear conscience, nor could he pin the rest of his hopes on Liang Yi, who was just kind-hearted.
He only had half of it left, so he exchanged the other half.
As long as senior sister comes back.
Senior sister will always save herself.
Chi Jin believed this very much, just as he believed from the very beginning that Ruan Wei could break free from the control of fate.
He is not qualified.
He couldn't get everything back, so he could only give up everything and leave as many escape routes and options as possible for Ruan Wei's return.
Chi Jin had no choice.
Chi Jin can only die.
"half?"
Tiandao's gaze finally changed, and he seemed more serious. "Are you sure you want to trade your remaining soul with me?"
"I'm sure."
"Even if there is no trace left, and you are willing to sink into darkness forever?"
"I do."
“…”
After a brief silence, under the intimidating gaze of Youying that was about to spit fire, Tiandao finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
"The deal is done."
Zhu Zhao felt even more that something was wrong.
No more.
Dude, you were just saying that Chi Jin is not as good as Ruan Wei, why do you agree to the half-half swap now?
It can't be that it's afraid that Youying will rush up and fight it.
The next moment.
Tiandao turned to face Liangyi, who immediately became alert.
Tiandao: "I have one more condition, it's about you two."
“…”
Zhuzhao held Youying, who was about to jump up and fight Tiandao, tightly. He stared at Tiandao and said, "Please speak."
"This is over. You two will return to the upper realm and retake the exam."
Liang Yi: “?”
The Heavenly Dao said quietly, "When you learn not to interfere in worldly affairs, then you can return to the Heaven Beyond Heaven."
“…”
A moment.
Zhuzhao felt like he had grasped some key point, but this inspiration disappeared too quickly. Before he could think about it, he heard Youying agree without hesitation: "No problem! Make a deal with Chi Jin quickly!"
Zhu Zhao: “…”
I can't understand why the twins are always so fast.
But at this point, Zhu Zhao could only nod and agree: "We agree."
"good."
At this time, the Heavenly Dao suddenly became very generous, as if the aggressive one just now had never existed.
Chi Jin's whole body tensed up.
He finally heard the words he wanted to hear most from Tiandao:
"I will return half of Ruan Wei's soul, and at the same time, I will take away the remaining soul."
Tiandao glanced at Youying.
"To prevent some spirits from accusing me of being unkind, I'll give you a quarter of an hour to leave a message. I'll come back in a quarter of an hour to complete the transaction."
Chi Jin quickly agreed: "Okay."
He did have some things to explain to his master.
At least.
Never let the awakened senior sister know how you left.
Absolutely not.
Chi Jin didn't want to trap Ruan Wei, especially with himself as the boundary. Since he was destined not to stay long, he didn't want his senior sister to remember this relationship anymore.
A matter of love.
He forced it all.
If there is an afterlife...
In the next life, don’t bring the moon down to earth. She should just hang high in the sky and be the bright moon on the horizon.
The Heavenly Dao wanted to bring Liang Yi back to the upper realm first, so they could only reluctantly lift the Liang Yi realm and send Chi Jin back to the body surrounded by everyone.
The moment when consciousness returns to the body.
Chi Jin closed her eyes.
Chi Jin opened her eyes.
The hot ripples overflowed, and drops of water flowed down the hair into the ears.
He still has a senior sister.
It’s just that he won’t be by Senior Sister’s side anymore, that’s all.
