Chapter 67: Xiao Fei’s Memories
Tang Yin only woke up from his daze a whole hour later, but the shock still remained. Xiao Fei was by his side the whole time, she had confusion on her face, she had never seen her Master so shocked before.
Tang Yin looked at Xiao Fei and an idea popped up into his head. He walked out of the cave and searched for a nearby Demonic Beast, he found a Demonic Beast relatively quickly.
Tang Yin looked at Xiao Fei, she knew the underlying meaning behind his gaze. Xiao Fei approached the Low-tier Rank 1 Venom Snake and used the Bloodline Suppression on it.
The snake lowered its head in submission and fear. Tang Yin approached the snake and put his hand atop its head, he used his newly acquired Martial Skill, Soul Plunder.
Tang Yin first used the soul-searching ability of Soul Plunder, he saw the whole life of the Venom Snake from when it was born to its current encounter with Tang Yin. He saw every detail; nothing escaped his eyes. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The life of the Venom Snake was very boring, there was not much in it. Tang Yin used the second ability of Soul Plunder which was lifespan stealing. He absorbed 1/10,000 of the Venom Snakes lifespan, there were no visible changes to the snake. It looked as if the Venom Snake had not even noticed its lifespan getting stolen.
Tang Yin removed his hand from the Venom Snake, he had gauged the ability of Soul Plunder. He could use Soul Plunder on any creature even if its strength was way above Tang Yin, but no creature would actually comply to have its lifespan stolen and memory searched unless Tang Yin was stronger and could forcefully use Soul Plunder on it.
The process of Soul Plunder might seem long and arduous as Tang Yin would see the whole life of the creature he used it on, but it took less than a second to see the whole life of the Venom Snake. Plundering the lifespan could also be accomplished in less than a second.
Technically Tang Yin could use the Soul Plunder to see the memories of someone weaker than him without them realising. However, if he used it on someone stronger than him, they would without a doubt notice.
The Venom Snake did not notice its lifespan getting stolen. This was because the amount that was stolen was very miniscule, otherwise, the Venom Snake would notice itself getting older.
Tang Yin may be able to steal the lifespan of people weaker than him but someone stronger than him would definitely realise themselves aging by 1/10,000. Besides, even if this was not the case, nobody would actually allow someone else to touch their heads unless they were really close.
Tang Yin did not have the time or energy to build long relationships with people just to steal a miniscule amount of their lifespan, it was pointless. He would rather just forcefully steal lifespan.
Even if he stole mortal people’s lifespans, if he accumulated it over a large amount of time, it would actually be a large amount. Not to mention, cultivators had a much larger lifespan compared to mortals, stealing their lifespan would be much more efficient than mortal people.
Tang Yin sinisterly looked at the Venom Snake, he devoured it with his Martial Spirit. It did not increase his cultivation, it only added a tiny amount of Abyss Qi into his Martial Spirit. The act could be considered pointless, but Tang Yin did not care. If he wanted to kill, he would do it even if there were no benefits. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Tang Yin suddenly had an epiphany, he looked towards the innocent Xiao Fei. He caressed her crimson crown feather, which was located on top of her head. Tang Yin had asked permission to search Xiao Fei’s memories through their connection.
Xiao Fei agreed without hesitation, even if her Master asked her to die for him, she would happily sacrifice herself.
Tang Yin appeared in Xiao Fei’s memories, he paid rapt attention to his surroundings. The first thing he saw was Xiao Fei waking up inside a ball of black flames, she instinctively ate the black flames. What appeared next was Tang Yin and his room inside the inn.
Tang Yin recognized this memory, this was when Xiao Fei had hatched from her egg. Everything continued as normal and as should be in her memories, Tang Yin had reached the moment before Xiao Fei’s evolution.
The moment Xiao Fei closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep to evolve, a loud screech resounded, and with a bang Tang Yin was forced out of Xiao Fei’s memories by a mysterious force. His 7 orifices bled simultaneously; he fell down to the ground unconscious.
Xiao Fei instantly descended into panic. One second Tang Yin was caressing her crimson crown feather, the next second, he was on the floor unconscious bleeding from every orifice.
Xiao Fei transformed into her large 30 feet tall form, she picked up Tang Yin with her beak and returned to the cave. "Master please wake up, I’m sorry, I didn’t do anything." She continuously nudged Tang Yin and pleaded for him to wake up.
A few breaths later, Tang Yin woke up, he caressed the panicking Xiao Fei. She immediately burst into tears and landed in his embrace. "Master, I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened, but I know I hurt you." Xiao Fei apologized while sobbing, she truly felt guilty.
Tang Yin had stopped bleeding from his 7 orifices and was even slowly healing. He was using the flesh, bones and beast soul of the Venom Snake he had devoured to heal himself. Although there was not much of an effect, he was still healing slowly.
"Silly girl, it wasn’t your fault. Stop crying." Tang Yin gently said to the weeping Xiao Fei, he gently stroked her feathers to calm her down. He could feel her chaotic emotions through their connection.
Tang Yin thought back to what happened in Xiao Fei’s memories, once Xiao Fei closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep to evolve. A powerful mighty force descended through the sharp bird screech, it had drove him out of Xiao Fei’s memories. The screech was of some type of bird, it sounded remarkably similar to Xiao Fei’s screeches and chirps.
