Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 149 was all planned out, wasn't it?

Working day and night, they control the armadillo king to dig tunnels, eating soil as they dig, excavating 370 to 400 kilometers of tunnels a day.

Lin Xiufeng was so tired that she didn't even have the energy for any back-and-forth interaction.

To ensure excavation efficiency, neither of them had time to sleep for long periods. They would take short naps to recover their energy before continuing to dig.

After six busy days, it was time to rest, and Lin Xiufeng had just closed his eyes.

Zhao Youyue suddenly whispered in his ear:
"You've changed for me, I'm no longer attractive to you..."

Lin Xiufeng was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Hey beautiful! Aren't you tired? You don't get enough sleep!"

"You've changed. Sleeping is more important to you than me..."

Zhao Youyue felt very wronged. They had been inseparable for so many days, but Lin Xiufeng hadn't made any moves. This was too abnormal!

Zhao Youyue believes that intimate behavior is an expression of love and does not think the two can be separated.

Although she rationally understood that it could be a purely physiological state, she didn't think so emotionally.

Lin Xiufeng found it utterly incomprehensible!
Even though he was exhausted, I told him on the first day not to think about it and that getting some sleep was the most important thing.

Then this sentence suddenly popped up.

But Lin Xiufeng decided to ignore reasoning. What's the point of reasoning at a time like this?

"I'm turning off the transformation because I didn't want you to get tired!"

"I'm not afraid of being tired! If you really want me to, I'm willing to be tired..."

Lin Xiufeng actually wanted to sleep, but she still mustered her energy.

If things don't go well, we can always get more sleep and speed up the excavation process. In short, this is time that needs to be wasted right now...

After a long period of not being able to revert to the transformation and after intense interaction, I suddenly realized that I was in the pitch black and cold underground tunnel.

Zhao Youyue couldn't help but lie on her side, holding Lin Xiufei's head and face even tighter.

Lin Xiufeng had no choice but to use his internal energy circulation to breathe, otherwise he would suffocate.

"Lin Xiufeng, have you thought about our future?"

Lin Xiufeng turned his head before he could answer, "Isn't it just like the past, like it is now, continuing on?"

"What kind of Heavenly Warrior do you want to become in the future? What goals do you want to pursue? What kind of value do you want to realize?"

Zhao Youyue suddenly brought up these things because Lin Xiufeng was so eager for revenge that he disregarded the bigger picture and the long-term consequences, which made her anxious.

"No. I didn't have time to think about these things before I took my revenge. You only had time to think about these things after you knew your enemy was dead, right? You should be able to understand me."

"Yes." Zhao Youyue could, of course, but that wasn't what she wanted to say. She continued on her own:
"But from my own experience, before seeking revenge, it seems that nothing else is worth considering."

"But in reality, my enemy is dead. I gradually realized that whether my enemy is dead or not is just a piece of news."

"Before I knew it and after I knew it, nothing around me changed. The only thing that changed was my own emotions and the shift in my own focus of attention."

“My uncle told me back then that revenge would not bring peace, but I didn’t listen at all at the time. But looking back recently, I understand now.”

Lin Xiufeng rallied her spirits and responded earnestly:

"And all your understanding is still based on the fact that you know your enemy is dead."

"Your ability to shift your focus and calm your emotions is based on the premise that your enemy is dead and the hatred has come to an end."

“I know you shared your feelings in the hope that it would be helpful to me.”

"But in fact, we are human beings with emotions. Even if we understand the principles, without the resolution of hatred as a foundation, our emotions will be in a state where reason cannot control them." "Therefore, people cannot achieve true progress through words alone; even if they know something, they still have to go through that process."

“…You’re right.” Zhao Youyue thought about it carefully and realized that was true. Then she ran her fingers through Lin Xiufei’s hair and said softly, “I won’t disturb your sleep.”

Lin Xiufeng thought for a moment and comforted Zhao Youyue, saying:
"Actually, I haven't thought about the dark otherworld yet, so you don't need to worry about it for now."

"Hmm!" Zhao Youyue was still worried about this matter.

She feared that Lin Xiufeng, in order to seek revenge, would deliberately break the rules of the Tianwu Group and go to the dark otherworld alone to seek vengeance.

“If you’re going, you must tell me. I’ll go with you. Don’t leave me without a word. I’m not like Hsu Hsin-ying, who has parents and relatives to worry about. We just want to make a name for ourselves in this dark, alien world together before we come out.”

"Are you crazy? What about your bright future? What about your lofty ambitions? You don't care about any of that? You even left a stain on your record in the dark other world, which will definitely affect your long-term development and may even limit your potential for progress."

Lin Xiufeng was quite surprised, but he felt that Zhao Youyue's words were driven by emotion and were impulsive.

This is not something Zhao Youyue should do, and he doesn't want to jeopardize her future prospects.

He went alone, and if he survives, he'll come back alone.

"It'll just take a while. With our abilities, we can get revenge and make a contribution. Two or three years? Four or five years? It'll be over in no time."

"In the short term, the branch manager position will be taken by someone else, so there's no point in you coming back. Besides that, what about the long-term impact?"

Lin Xiufeng emphasized the key points.

"I've thought about all of that! But after all that, you're still the most important person to me. If all else fails, we can go to a new other world and develop our careers there, maybe even become the head of a celestial martial arts group like my uncle. It's not impossible, is it?"

"It's unlikely if you have a stain on your record, unless you're so strong that you're unparalleled and irreplaceable in terms of your political value."

Lin Xiufeng still hoped that Zhao Youyue would calm down and think it over more.

Once an organization like the Heavenly Martial Group has a stain on its record, it is difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

Competitors will always use this as leverage against her, which will continuously hinder Zhao Youyue's future development.

I told you I've thought it over, and you're still more important to me!

"With you by my side, supporting me, I'm sure I can get through all of this!"

"After you take your revenge, let's work together to explore more of the mysteries of the Heavenly Warriors' power and strive to become their leaders!"

Zhao Youyue was full of fighting spirit, looking forward to and dreaming of wonderful goals.

"I told you, after I get my revenge, I will try to make a name for myself and go back to Tianlan Star to take care of my grandparents. My parents are gone, and I should take on their responsibilities."

"You have an aunt, so it's not your turn to take on the responsibility of daily care. As for material things, just use the rights and interests of the Heavenly Warriors to provide more subsidies. In the future, when you have enough merit, you can go back to stay for a while to keep her company."

Zhao Youyue had clearly thought about these things and had even come up with a plan.

"Let's talk about revenge later, who knows how long that will be..."

Lin Xiufeng considered and said:
"Qian Shaoyong... that bastard should still be alive, right? After all, he's a guy who earned his way back to Tianlan Star by killing enemies in the Ninth Otherworld. He wouldn't be killed so easily..."

"...I'm sorry, but our positions are different again. Because I want him dead."

Zhao Youyue apologized, but her eyes were full of sly smiles.

Lin Xiufeng sighed, both amused and exasperated, and closed his eyes. He really needed to rest.

There's still a long tunnel to dig...
