Chapter 94: Erasing Memories
Chapter 94: Erasing Memories
"You don't know what you've done wrong, and you don't even realize you're about to die."
Wang Si stared at Xiao Wu, his expressionless gaze unblinking. With a casual wave of his hand, he wiped her mind clean.
Xiao Wu, who had been bewildered a moment ago, suddenly collapsed. Lying on the ground was a body with a confused and lost expression, its eyes hollow and capable only of carrying out instructions.
"Divide a part of your soul and enter this body. During your seclusion, use this body to act in the outside world."
Wang Si turned to Zhu Ming.
Zhu Ming didn't react much, merely nodding slightly before picking up the body and heading towards the cultivation field.
"Wan Nian Hun" was the last cultivation technique Wang Si obtained, and it was also the last item in his beginner's gift package.
From level 40 onwards, Wang Si no longer received any more gifts.
Among them, Zhu Ming was currently the fastest in cultivating this technique, and her mental power was the strongest, so controlling a body was not a problem.
"After Zhu Ming obtains a new body, help her get accustomed to it.
Also, you can stay here to cultivate during this period. There are many herbs for the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and I'll leave them to you to manage from now on.
Feel free to do as you wish with the herbs here. Whether it's making ointments or anything else, just let me know, and you can handle the rest yourself."
A Lan acknowledged with an emotionless "hmph," then sighed.
"By erasing the mind of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast right before my eyes, are you trying to send me a warning?"
A Lan sighed, looking up at the sky.
Even though she was currently under this guy's control, she still had her own thoughts. As long as she could think, she wouldn't forget that she used to be a soul beast.
She could set aside human emotions for now, but when it came to the soul beast clan, A Lan believed she was relatively calm and rational.
As a fellow ten-thousand-year soul beast, A Lan understood how difficult it was for a soul beast that chose to take on a human form to cultivate.
As long as there was the memory and consciousness of a soul beast, A Lan didn't feel like she was truly dead, which was why she didn't stand in the way of Xiao Wu's sacrifice.
But now, with Xiao Wu's mind wiped clean, even though her body remained, she was as good as dead.
Dead beyond resurrection.
This made A Lan feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Warning you?"
Wang Si found A Lan's words a bit strange, but then he realized the true identity of the speaker: a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
So, she thought that by erasing Xiao Wu's mind in front of her, he was sending a warning to her, using the killing of one to keep the others in line.
Putting aside everything else, just the fact that A Lan was a Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor meant that Wang Si couldn't possibly treat her as a mere "servant."
"I erased her memories not because of you, but simply because I dislike that thoughtless, empty-headed girl.
I can accept smart people by my side, and I can also tolerate fools. I allow them to be stronger than me, and I don't mind if they're weaker.
But there's one type I will never tolerate by my side: those who are both stupid and thoughtless."
Hearing Wang Si's words, A Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Then, in your eyes, which type do I belong to?"
"You're the type that understands the situation, recognizes your own value, and has a bit of cunning."
Wang Si gave his assessment without hesitation.
A Lan nodded at Wang Si's evaluation and then smiled, narrowing her eyes slightly, a profound depth in her gaze.
"You may have misunderstood. What I wanted to ask was, do you see me as a human, or do you not see me as a soul beast?"
The question took Wang Si a little by surprise, but before he could answer, A Lan nodded to herself.
"So, you see Xiao Wu as a human, and that's why you erased her memories. It wasn't because she was a soul beast that you did this?"
It was a question, but A Lan seemed to be seeking confirmation.
Before Wang Si could answer, A Lan had already deduced the response from his facial expression.
Even Tang Hao had once been concerned about her identity as a soul beast.
Facing A Lan's question, Wang Si was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Just erase her memories. As long as you don't hold a grudge against us soul beasts, that's fine.
To be honest, I didn't like that little rabbit either. With her carefree personality, she would eventually be taken advantage of by others and end up with nothing.
It's better for her to be with you than with someone else."
A Lan chuckled casually, but no one knew what she was really thinking.
Seeing the mysterious smile on A Lan's face, Wang Si frowned. He always felt that A Lan was hiding something from him.
Wang Si's purpose for keeping A Lan by his side was simple: to use her as a mirror, constantly reminding himself to avoid complacency.
However, he couldn't allow her to truly threaten him.
Noticing Wang Si's gaze on her, A Lan gradually composed her expression.
"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm in a good mood right now. You can make a request, and I'll agree to it with an eighty percent probability."
A Lan knew that Wang Si was blatantly testing her once again.
In response, A Lan blinked her eyes, and a Blue Silver Emperor sprouted from the ground.
"Master, are you sure you will agree to my request?"
Seeing this Blue Silver Emperor, Wang Si's face turned dark, but he was also taken aback by A Lan's address of him as "master".
Looking at A Lan again, he saw the same mischievous look on her face, always plotting something.
However, Wang Si felt that her attitude towards him had changed a little. Had he finally succeeded in subduing her?
Because of what? Because he saw her as a "human" and not a soul beast?
Wang Si thought it was unlikely.
But everyone liked to hear nice things, and A Lan's call of "master" made Wang Si feel very pleased.
Yet, he didn't forget to give a cold hmph.
"Don't think that just because you said something nice, this matter is over. Let me tell you, it's not over yet!"
Wang Si said viciously.
A Lan blinked her big eyes innocently.
"Master, what happened just now? I don't remember anything."
Wang Si just hmphed coldly and left the "home".
Seeing Wang Si off, A Lan couldn't help but snicker.
"Is this guy so easily fooled?"
A Lan looked at the door and asked curiously.
"Men are like that. No matter how much they suffer outside or how angry they are, as long as the woman at home can coax them, they'll just let it go."
Zhu Ming, holding Xiao Wu's body, came to A Lan's side and laughed softly.
"According to you, aren't men just like children?"
A Lan turned her head, smiling softly at Zhu Ming, and glanced at the "Xiao Wu" beside her.
"He's still a child. If I remember correctly, he should be less than twenty this year.
The first time I saw him, he was only this tall, and then whoosh, he grew this tall."
Zhu Ming thought of something and gestured with her hand, indicating that Wang Si was only as tall as her thigh at the time, and then she raised her hand to indicate his current height.
Seeing Zhu Ming's satisfied expression, A Lan felt a bit envious.
"What does it feel like to raise a child? Tell me about it."
A Lan knew about Zhu Ming's situation, but when it came to raising a child, she really didn't know how to go about it.
"You can ask Yuehua about it..."
