Chapter 1638: Chapter 1620: Rong Li Doesn't Want to be a Dishonorable Person, Returns the Monster Core to Her_1 Chapter 1638: Chapter 1620: Rong Li Doesn't Want to be a Dishonorable Person, Returns the Monster Core to Her_1 “No.”
Rong Li hurriedly responded, “Rong Li doesn't doubt Immortal Lin's medical skills. I just do not want to burden anyone else; not my parents, my clan, nor the Fox Tribe princess I have never seen.”
“My parents, for my sake, depleted their wealth, faced ridicule from our clan, in exchange. The Fox Tribe princess, losing her monster core, can no longer cultivate. All these people, they've made me feel guilt-ridden, my peace and my sleep elusive.”
Little Kingfisher challenged, “If you feel guilty, why are you only here now?”
“I wished to spend another year with my parents, to observe filial piety at their feet a little longer.”
Rong Li lowered his head in pain, his eyelids wet, “As for the Fox Tribe princess, I will repay her kindness. Please, after you've taken out the monster core, return it to her.”
Little Kingfisher asserted a fact, “If the monster core is removed, you'll die.”
“I should have died long ago, the life I've lived these years, it was stolen,” Rong Li confessed.
Rong Li became somewhat excited, a determined look in his eyes, “What I'm not meant to have, what I don't deserve, I've thought it all through. Now, I only hope to die, end this cycle of karma, reincarnate, and be reborn as a human.”
“A cycle of karma? You think this is a cycle of karma?”
Lin Qingluo frowned deeply, showing a little surprise, “Have you ever thought about the immense pain the Fox Tribe princess had to endure, when she decided to save your life by sacrificing her monster core?”
“She disregarded everything, gave up tens of thousands of years of lifespan possessed by the monster tribe, ingested the Immortal Transformation Herb, and transformed into a human, just to be by your side. How devoted she must be?”
“Her pain, her devotion, are they worth nothing in your eyes? To consider them as merely a cycle of karma, you are heartless and unrighteous, undeserving to be a human.”

“Immortal, please let me explain.”
Rong Li was speechless; he remained perplexed for a while before finally gathering his wits and awkwardly defending himself.
“Everything the Immortal said is true. I admit, the Fox Tribe princess is indeed deeply devoted, and has sacrificed a lot.”
“But, I have never seen her, I have no impression of her at all. If I said that I admired her and hoped to stay with her for life, that would be a real deception.”
“Rong Li doesn't wish to be unkind or unrighteous. Hence, I made the decision not to continue living in this world unscrupulously and to return the monster core to her.”
With a sharp mind, Little Kingfisher swiftly continued querying, “If you could survive with the monster core without turning into a monster, would you, for her sake, willingly sacrifice your life to return the monster core to her?”
“I would.”
Without a second thought, Rong Li replied decisively, “Rong Li doesn't wish to live off someone else's life. No matter what, I will return the monster core to her.”
Little Kingfisher asked three times in succession, “Even if your parents were to lose their son and be heartbroken to the point of wanting to die? Not caring about your parents' feelings, you would still go through with it?”
“Gratitude towards my parents…”
Rong Li clenched his fists, lowered his head in pain, “I'm unfilial. I'll repay them in my next life.”
“Master, shall we go to the Monster Realm? Let's bring the little fox back.”
Having received a satisfactory answer, Little Kingfisher's curious mind overflowed and he wanted to continue watching the drama play out, “Let them sort out their complications. The eventual outcome will depend on the fate of both the man and the fox.”
“Alas.”
With a dejected sigh, Lin Qingluo reluctantly agreed, “It seems that we have no other choice.”
“Yay!”
Little Kingfisher joyfully fluttered, “Master has agreed, we can now visit the Monster Realm.”
“Rong Li, you should go home first.”
Lin Qingluos eyes glinted with cold determination, “I will find a way to bring the Fox Tribe princess here. Whether you should return the monster core or not, will be her decision.”
