After the storm...

Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Senior Brother, let’s do as Elder Handeng says."

Song Yan said, "Why?"

Ling Xiaoxiao replied, "I don’t know either, it just feels like a dream. But if I don’t do it now, what else can I do? Besides, Elder Handeng has been planning for so long, and I’m her descendant, so perhaps this is my responsibility too?"

After saying that, she was a bit dejected, "Elder Handeng is very weak right now, so she needs to parasitize on me, and gradually grow stronger alongside me. When she becomes strong, she can achieve her dream, reach the depths of the Sword Village, and attain immortality, right?

Senior Brother... what you seek should be the same. Don’t worry, if Elder Handeng has any ill intentions, I’ll definitely sense it. I’ll help keep an eye on her for you, this way... you two can trust each other.

By then, Senior Brother can also achieve what you desire, which will make Elder Handeng happy, and you happy too. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As for me... I... I will also be happy, because I, who am without temperament or talent, should have died somewhere unknown, and now can see many sights I have never seen before."

Song Yan listened to these childish and silly words, knowing that this girl realized she had become a tool.

The first role was to "help Ling Handeng nourish her thoughts, making them stronger," and the second was to "become a bridge of trust between him and Ling Handeng."

She offered no resistance at all, heedlessly accepting it all, presenting a self-moved, lazy attitude.

Song Yan wanted to say something but hesitated, then patted her head, saying, "I was once like you, caught between a rock and a hard place."

He then chuckled, "However, I really am no predator to you... All in all, your current situation is much better than mine. Since there’s an opportunity to become stronger, don’t give it up."

After a brief silence, he added, "Don’t think that the Purple Mansion Realm or Divine Infant Realm are so powerful. Even if your Primordial Ancestor might be of the Divinity Transformation Realm, isn’t she still struggling now?

When catastrophe strikes, all beings are like ants. Ordinary people live a hundred years, close their eyes, and no longer care if the world is in chaos. But we... must face it. Junior Sister, stay strong; until the very last moment, don’t give up lightly. Your current predicament is indeed a great opportunity to become stronger."

As his words fell, the young female cultivator in his arms, who had been heavy-hearted just a moment ago, suddenly changed her expression.

Ling Handeng looked up at Song Yan and said, "At your age, still coaxing little girls."

Song Yan said, "Elder Handeng showing up so sincerely at this time, you’re really putting yourself out there."

Ling Handeng said, "Since it’s the only choice, one must give it special attention. Do you... still have energy?"

"Yes."

Song Yan replied.

He had no trust in Ling Handeng either. If there was a way to increase it a bit, he would indeed spare no effort. Being intimately close to one another without stabbing each other in the back was inherently a form of "trust ritual."

In this way, when the apparent trust and potential mutual aid reach a certain level, destroying it would require a greater price.

This time, encountering Ling Handeng was truly an unexpected twist.

Ling Handeng smiled faintly and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"
