Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger!

Chapter 31: Song Qingxin’s Worries

However, no matter how Xuan Yi strengthened his aura on the demonic ape, it just lay on the ground and did not get up.

Crack!

The demonic ape felt a huge pain in its body as all its the bones were crushed by Xuan Yi.

Although this kind of injury wasn’t fatal and the demonic ape had a strong recovery ability, it would still need some time to recover.

Xuan Yi was not a bloodthirsty person. He was just worried that after he left, the Demonic Ape would harm Song Qingxin.

Fine, now I can go and get the Ice Spirit Fruit.

Xuan Yi made up his mind and stood up.

Just as he was about to leave, Song Qingxin stood up, too.

“It’s disgusting… It’s still thinking about those dirty things.” Song Qingxin looked at the fallen demonic beast with disdain.

“Don’t leave me behind… I want to go with you.” She staggered to her feet and hurriedly followed Xuan Yi. She did not want to stay with this ugly demonic ape, even though it was able to move.

“Oh?” Xuan Yi glanced at Song Qingxin.

“UH… This, I…”Song Qingxin was a little embarrassed and said with a red face, “Don’t worry, I will not drag you down. If you leave me here, I’ll be very afraid…”

Xuan Yi was not worried that she would drag him down. He found that she could actually do other things while refining pills.

Could it be that she was telepathic?

Telepathic was a divine ability. Among the top 500 divine ability ranking, it was at the bottom because this divine ability couldn’t give its owner combat strength and could not be learned. It was a natural-born talent. It explained why it was at the bottom of the list.

However, no one would underestimate this divine ability. With this divine ability, one could multitask in the early stage, and at the later stage, one could read thoughts of other people and even the thoughts of spirit things, such as spirit swords.

It must be known that in the Cang Xuan Land, there were many strange races with different mentalities, which caused many unnecessary disputes. So people with this divine ability could easily communicate with other races and travel across the land conveniently.

If he had a disciple with this divine ability, when her strength was great, he might be able to obtain this ability with help of the system.

One had to know that such an ability was natural-born and couldn’t be obtained by learning.

“We are in the mystical realm’s spiritual medicine region now. The more abundant the spirit energy is, the more powerful the guarding demonic beasts are. Even Ice-cold Grass is guarded by a powerful demonic ape, which means there are many dangers out there. Do you still want to go with me?”

Xuan Yi did not refuse her, nor did he agree. He just looked at her with a steady gaze.

He had long discovered the biggest problem with this girl. It was not that her talent was not good or her strength was not great, but that she did not think carefully before she acted, which was why she had fallen into the trap.

If she did not change her reckless way of doing things, it was only a matter of time before she died.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yi calmed down a little. Even if this young girl was not even sixteen years old, and her cultivation was at the second level of the Golden Core Realm, he didn’t want to take her in as a disciple.

After all, she couldn’t even protect herself. How could such a person be his disciple?

“I… I…don’t know…”

Song Qingxin lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

“Since I was little, I have always been alone. Father devotes all this time and energy in making artifacts, and he wants to create the world’s most powerful spirit sword, so naturally, he doesn’t have time to accompany me. When I was five years old, I wanted to study swordsmanship and travel the world. Father only said that I should stay at home and inherit the family business, and not wander around randomly. He said after I created a powerful spirit sword, I would be able to do whatever I wanted in the world. I believed it, but…”. Song Qingxin’s eyes reddened, she paused for a moment and slowly said, “But nothing changed. The only happy moment for me was when I broke through to the Golden Core Realm. My father and I were happy for it. Except for that, I don’t seem to have any memories about my life.”

Xuan Yi said indifferently, “I have no interest in your life story. Answer my question: There are many dangers ahead; do you still want to go with me?”

Song Qingxin’s body trembled. She clenched her fists and said hesitantly, “I…”

She stammered and did not know what to say. It was obvious that she was frightened by this unfamiliar environment.

Xuan Yi exhaled and said seriously, “Alright, I’ll ask you another question.”

“What is your dream?”

My dream?

Song Qingxin’s heart trembled and her body shook.

This question made her recall the time when she was five years old. She was practicing sword techniques under the setting sun with a wooden sword with her mother.

“Qingxin, why do you study the swordsmanship?”

“Because I want to be like Mother and become a swordswoman to save the world.”

“Ahem, like Mother? But I’m no longer a swordswoman.”

“Why?” Little Song Qingxin asked.

Her mother smiled but did not say anything. She patted little Song Qingxin’s head and said lightly, “Because I have already abandoned the sword in my heart.”

Abandoned the sword in the heart?

Why was there a sword in her heart? And why did she abandon it?

Little Song Qingxin did not understand it, but after hearing Xuan Yi’s question, she understood now.

I have long since abandoned the sword in my heart. Hehe, I don’t even know where the sword in my hand has gone.

Song Qingxin laughed at herself and said, “My dream… My dream is to become a swordswoman like my mother.”

This answer naturally didn’t satisfy Xuan Yi.

“Live under your mother’s shadow? How sad! Just stay where you are and wait for me. After the expedition ends, I will take you out of here.”

After saying that, Xuan Yi left.

At this time, Song Qingxin felt empty inside. It was not because of Xuan Yi’s departure, but because of Xuan Yi’s words just now. She had lived her whole life in her mother’s shadow.

She began to think.

“Does he mean that I should live for himself? Yes, it must be so. I wasn’t really happy even when I broke through to the Golden Core Realm at the age of fifteen. I just did it for my father. I want to live for myself.”

Thinking of this, song Qingxin’s eyes became firm. She quickly stood up and then shouted as she ran, “I understand now. I want to live for myself. I want to live for my own sword Dao. I’m not looking for a powerful swordsman because I want to become a peerless swordswoman myself. I want to protect the weak, kill the evil, and shine in the world!”

However, the corridor was empty. There was no sound at all.

Just when she thought that Xuan Yi had gone, his gentle voice came,

“It seems that you have found your direction. Come then.”

A gentle wave of spirit energy carried her to Xuan Yi’s side.

However, at this moment, the scent of a powerful demon beast floated to Xuan Yi’s nose.
