Chapter 43 The Road to Life and Death, The Other Shore Flower!

"There's no way to save her... Your mother has already decided to die."

Xiao Chong's abilities are enough to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, but he cannot and will not save someone who has lost all hope of living.

Kneeling before Xiao Chong, Qing Lin's mother wore a pitiful smile as she looked at him.

"I've been here for years... I've long since given up on living. If it weren't for protecting Qinglin, I would have committed suicide long ago."

"But now... the moment I saw you, sir... I felt relieved."

"I believe that Qinglin will be able to live a good life with you..."

"Qinglin, from now on, you must be obedient and follow this young master to repay their kindness."

The snake woman mother, kneeling on the ground, also touched her daughter Qinglin's little face.

For a time, the only sound that could be heard in the cell was Qinglin's weeping.

All Xiao Chong could do was continue to watch the scene before him with a calm expression, while silently reaching out and pinching behind him.

At this moment, an invisible energy barrier enveloped the entire Tianqing Group camp.

During this period, everyone who dies in this space will be completely annihilated, never to be reincarnated!

After letting Xiao Qinglin finish crying, the snake woman mother pleaded.

"My lord... please kill me."

"I will do it... but for the sake of this little girl, I'll grant you a chance in the next life."

With a gentle twist of his fingers, a two-tone and alluring flower appeared in Xiao Chong's hand.

This two-tone flower is a dreamy pink on one side and a deathly gray on the other.

"This is something I cultivated myself through grafting. It can at least be ranked as a ninth-grade medicinal herb."

Its name is the Red Spider Lily!

The road to life and death, the other shore flower.

Even with Xiao Chong's extraordinary comprehension and grafting skills, combined with his own life force, it still took him a long time to cultivate this medicinal herb, which could almost be considered legendary.

"Its effects are useless while a person is alive; they only become effective after the person dies."

"Anyone who ingests even one of its petals will soon see the other side of the Yellow Springs, die instantly from poisoning, and be reincarnated into the next life with hope for the afterlife."

"Those who consume the petals of the Red Spider Lily will experience a qualitative leap in their soul strength in their next life, almost immediately possessing the soul power to become an alchemist. Furthermore, their physique and talent will also be greatly enhanced, making them powerful warriors."

"Thus, you can truly take control of your own destiny! However, it's your next life."

After saying that, Xiao Chong plucked a petal from the red spider lily.

Such a legendary medicinal herb may actually be far more valuable than a grade nine medicinal herb!

The reason for saying this is that the highest grade of medicinal herbs on the Dou Qi Continent is only ninth grade, nothing more.

As Qinglin's mother looked at the spider lily petals falling into her hand, a dreamy expression immediately appeared on her face.

He then glanced at Qinglin beside him with a nostalgic look, a smile appearing on his face, before kneeling down to Xiao Chong once more to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, my lord, for bestowing upon me such a treasure. If I were to be reborn, I would still remember your kindness. I am willing to serve you as your servant, solely to repay your debt!"

After saying that, Qinglin's mother looked at Qinglin and smiled gently.

"Qinglin, I originally thought of sending you to the Heavenly Serpent Palace, because there is not much discrimination against children of snake-human hybrid blood there. Who knows, you might be noticed by some important figures there and thus have a life of your own."

"But now, we've encountered an even better opportunity! And we must repay this kindness..."

"My lord... if you don't mind, could Qinglin stay by your side forever...?"

Xiao Chong nodded and looked at Qing Lin.

"From now on, just call me Young Master."

"Yes, young master..."

Little Qinglin obediently knelt before Xiao Chong. Seeing this scene, Qinglin's mother's last bit of obsession finally disappeared, and she swallowed a petal of the other shore flower.

The soul within the body quickly dissipated like falling petals, and the person's aura vanished in an instant.

Her corpse, like her scattered soul, merged into the cycle of reincarnation in the next life.

"Mother... Waaah!"

"I will be obedient and stay by the young master's side, serving him for the rest of my life."

Inside the cell, only the sobbing of the little girl Qinglin remained.

Xiao Chong wanted to go up and comfort her, but at that moment, a strange feeling suddenly came to his mind.

That extraordinary comprehension suddenly activated at that moment.

[Your comprehension is extraordinary. By observing the scene of people who consumed petals of the Red Spider Lily entering the cycle of reincarnation, you gained an understanding of the cycle of life and death.]

From this day forward, you will have a deeper understanding of the cycle of birth and death.

"Hiss... This must be the most incredible thing I've comprehended recently."

As the insights flooded into his mind, Tang Liang's eyes seemed to hold a deeper understanding of life and death.

This kind of insight is more precious than any Heavenly Rank Battle Technique, and its effect can even surpass the enlightenment gained under the Bodhi Tree!

After gaining this understanding, if Xiao Chong were to go into seclusion and cultivate for a period of time, the attributes of life energy and death energy would reappear in his fighting spirit.

I never expected that my casual act of winning people's hearts would yield such an unexpected reward.

A moment later, Xiao Chong could feel that the commotion outside had subsided considerably, and it seemed that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had already cleaned everyone up.

He stepped forward and touched Qinglin's hair, saying, "Qinglin, come with me."

"Yes, young master!"

Qinglin's small, delicate hand reached out to him. Xiao Chong casually tossed a robe from his storage ring and draped it over Qinglin's shoulders before leading her out of the dungeon.

Outside the cell, Nalan Yanran's face was contorted in pain as she vomited violently.

The mercenaries who were following Xiao Li saw this scene and all wore simple, honest smiles.

People always need to undergo a psychological change; not many people are born with a strong bloodlust.

It takes a certain amount of psychological time to accept the first time you've personally caused a life to perish in your hands.

After all, Nalan Yanran is still a twelve-year-old girl.

"How was it? How did it feel to kill someone for the first time?"

"I feel terrible! You jerk, why did it take you so long to come find me?!"

Seeing Xiao Chong come out, Nalan Yanran immediately found a haven of comfort in her heart and rushed over to him, embracing him tightly.

However, the next second, she quickly realized that she had done this in front of Brother Xiao Ding's mercenary group. Her pale face quickly turned red, and she subconsciously tried to push Xiao Chong away, but found that her hands suddenly had no strength at all.

Xiao Ding waved and laughed after seeing this.

"Alright, stop flirting here. Third brother, what's the situation down in the dungeon?"

"Also, what's wrong with this child... Is he a snake-human hybrid?"

"It's a miracle that someone with snake-human hybrid blood could grow to six or seven years old."

Xiao Chong nodded and said, "Brother, from now on, this child will be my maid."
