Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 121 Let it all burn! My worthless life (Part 2)

The man who had dragged the city lord into the room followed behind Lin Xi: "My lord, will she really kill that city lord?"

"What, do you think she's too young to do it?" Lin Xi asked.

"I don't know, but she's only a teenager, and she seems like a flower that's grown up in a greenhouse. Even if her martial soul mutated, it can't hide the fact that at the beginning, she cowered in the closet, helplessly watching everything happen."

"She will kill him, definitely," Lin Xi said with certainty. "She is indeed still young, but she has tasted the thrill of wielding power. When a person stands at the pinnacle of power, he will either use that power to do what he wants, or he will lose himself. But undeniably, at the moment of possessing power, that person will definitely stay true to himself."

A moment later, a heart-wrenching scream came from the room behind them.

"Speaking of which, you would have absorbed this Phoenix of Light into your sect? I remember when I rescued her, it was the Second Martial Soul that preserved her mind."

Lin Xi chuckled lightly: "What, you're the one who leaked the secret?"

The man's expression was uncertain.

However, he soon had no chance to remain composed, because in the next instant, sharp spider silk pierced through his chest.

Lin Xi glanced disdainfully at the fallen man: "An individual who coexists with light and darkness is the person I've been searching for. Although I don't know if this girl who awakened her dark side later in life is the one I'm looking for... but my time is running out."

"Behind the Holy Spirit Cult... Hmph, changing fate isn't so easy. Fortunately, that old bastard Ritian disappeared three thousand years ago, giving me time to make my plans." Lin Xi's face had turned icy cold.

"But those bastards in the sky still seem restless." She looked up at the sky. "I told you, we'll meet again."

At this point, Yan Xishui joined the Holy Spirit Cult and decided to change her surname to Ye.

The person who saved her was named Lin Xi, and not long after, this Lin Xi sacrificed himself in a battle.

So she took her benefactor's surname and considered herself a leaf in the forest to commemorate her, and she always kept their promise and never revealed her second martial soul.

However, life after joining the Holy Spirit Cult was not easy. The special nature of her Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul forced her to cultivate by devouring blood and souls. Since she herself possessed the Martial Soul of the Light Phoenix, she managed to maintain her sanity even in this evil cultivation environment.

As Lin Xi once said, she is no longer accepted by the world.

Her ability to use the powers of an evil spirit master while maintaining a clear mind earned her even more attention from the Holy Spirit Cult, and she even obtained the position of Holy Maiden.

She was happy to do so, and using this position, she began to investigate some things, such as the truth behind the destruction of her family and the real cause of death of her benefactor, Elder Lin Xi.

As a result of her investigation, she discovered something extraordinary.

The battlefield where Lin Xi sacrificed himself was in the Heavenly Soul Empire, in a place called Sunset Forest. The origin of the person who made the sacrifice was unknown; according to the investigation, there were only five words.

"Where the clouds are deep and the path is unknown."

Therefore, at the age of fifteen, she joined a high-level soul master academy in the Heavenly Soul Empire, and with her unique disguise, she transformed her original Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul back into the Heavenly Demon Puppet. This disguise came from a soul bone within the Holy Spirit Sect.

She wanted to use this to investigate this mysterious "Hidden Place in the Clouds".

At the age of nineteen, she arrived at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which was her ostensible mission upon joining the Soul Master Academy. The then-leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongli Laogui, instructed her to use this opportunity to cause trouble for the then-famous Light and Dark Holy Dragons, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao.

Nineteen-year-old Ye Xishui was in the prime of her life, while Long Xiaoyao, an honest man, and Mu En, a playboy, naturally fell for her beauty. At this time, news came from the Holy Spirit Cult that she should seduce Mu En and lead him astray.

Ye Xishui wasn't particularly interested in Mu En. Her childhood family history had instilled in her a distance from all outsiders. Especially during gatherings of the three of them, the seemingly dull Mu En's occasional, suggestive remarks only further diminished her positive feelings towards him.

Because there seemed to be a hidden view in Mu En's words. He regarded his actions as commonplace, since those people were there voluntarily, which made Ye Xishui very uncomfortable.

However, she overheard something from one of Moon's drunken moments: Shrek Academy sometimes secretly helped certain empires or old noble families resolve their problems, thereby making the empire more dependent on them.

For example, they would help the Douling Empire's royal family secretly deal with some disobedient people, because the Douling Empire was originally the weakest of the three kingdoms, and the Xue family, the royal family, had experienced a rebellion and uprising, so they were often suspicious.

Her former family, the Yan family, was secretly labeled as spies of the Sun Moon Empire because they were too familiar with soul tools.

She grew up in the Douling Empire, so she knew perfectly well that of the four Title Douluos who attacked her Yan family that time, apart from the city lord of Lingtian City, the other three were not Title Douluos native to the Douling Empire! When did the Douling Empire ever manage to spare so many Title Douluos to deal with their family?

This matter had been troubling Ye Xishui. She desperately wanted to find Lin Xi and get some answers, but Lin Xi was dead.

It was this incident that made Ye Xishui truly feel the malice of this world for the first time. This malice did not come from the evil spirit masters, but from those hypocritical gentlemen.

This was the first time she felt that her life was worthless, like a consumable item in the hands of those high and mighty people, something that would always have some value. Clearly, her worthless life was just a disposable tool for them to use in order to win over the royal family.

Just like what Moon said about those women. It's all just people eager to climb the social ladder consuming themselves.

She told Zhongli Laogui, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, about this, hoping he could help her, but Zhongli Laogui did not give a clear answer.

Then, Ye Xishui continued with the Holy Spirit Cult's plan, but she did not follow her initial intention to lure Mu En astray.

On the contrary, she had completely bound Long Xiaoyao's heart to her.

But this was exactly what she wanted, because she didn't like Moon at all. And in the end, she succeeded; the Light and Dark Holy Dragons broke off relations because of her—at least on the surface.

She even bore Long Xiaoyao a child, a child she gave birth to outside the Holy Spirit Cult. At the time, she was all alone, struggling to give birth to the child and then secretly raising him to the age of six.

When she awakened her martial soul, she discovered that the child had actually inherited her Radiant Phoenix martial soul!

Just then, the Holy Spirit Cult abruptly ordered her to return to the cult headquarters immediately. Ye Xishui could only hurriedly send the child to an orphanage and leave behind a large sum of money.

After Ye Xishui returned to the Holy Spirit Cult, she was forcibly dragged into a secret room by Zhongli Laogui.

Am I going to waste my worthless life again?

I can't help but complain. Does Sanshui have some kind of fondness for this kind of almost perverted plot? From the first to the second battle, the villainous women all have this kind of past.

And couldn't they have come up with some better reasons? They have to describe everything in terms of sex and a non-existent love. They just can't think of anything else.

Not to mention that some good people should be forced to do things they don't want to do at gunpoint. What kind of bullshit logic is that?

It's often said that every pitiful person has something hateful about them, and vice versa. This story won't whitewash Ye Xishui's evil deeds, but those who have committed even more heinous acts will have no chance of redemption.
