Chapter 617 - 297: I’ll Bully the Man You Like Right in Front of You!

"What future? Do you have to become as powerful as Hua Jing at all costs! So what if you lack talent! There are so many cultivators with poor talent diligently working in the Exorcism Bureau! What’s wrong with doing what you’re capable of!"

Tiao Yaoyao truly couldn’t understand her good sister’s obsession, only feeling that she seemed to have changed yet also sensing that she hadn’t changed at all since she was always serious about whatever she did since childhood.

"What I’m capable of... But I feel my strength shouldn’t be just this. I don’t want to live my life mediocrely... Since I was a child, I’ve regarded Hua Jing as a role model, even fantasizing about surpassing her one day! That’s my true Heart Demon!

Do you recall when I was ten years old, and I hadn’t even entered the Meridian Passage Realm... That day Hua Jing came for me, I thought she was going to send me away due to my poor talent, but she just held my hand and led me into a black jellyfish. Inside it was a chaotic shadow, I looked at it and even remembered myself pulsing inside my birth mother’s belly...

Hua Jing told me this is the only image of the Master of Dreams in the world, even though it’s vague, it’s not something humans can look directly at! Only she can! She also said this has been her lifelong enemy, she was born to pull it down from the divine throne and kill it!

She told me my talent is very poor, but if I can withstand that shadow’s temptation, she would keep me by her side and acknowledge that I would be the one with her to kill it!

In the end, I endured it... I was ecstatic, before I was ten, I was anxious, but from that moment, I knew I was qualified to stand with Hua Jing! From that day, I officially embarked on the path of cultivation!

The Master of Dreams is no longer just her enemy, it’s also mine! From the time I realized this noble mission, I have worked tirelessly for it day and night! Now, letting me abandon this mission, how could I be willing! Heaven placed fate upon me but didn’t give me the corresponding talent. Since normal cultivation can’t complete this mission, then I will find another way!"

"You’re mad... you’re really mad..."

Tiao Yaoyao staggered back a few steps in disarray, as if getting to know her silent, taciturn good friend for the first time, realizing that inside her graceful body lies such a surging heart.

"You didn’t withstand the Master of Dreams’ temptation at all! At ten years old, it had already planted this seed in your heart! That’s why today you kneeled in front of the Heart Buddha! That is corruption! Those who ally with corruption have no good ending..."

"In front of it..."

Zi Yiyi murmured to herself, then raised her delicate head to look back into the depths of Luoxing Valley, taking a deep breath and finally clenching her fist with unmatched confidence:

"No, you’re wrong. Long before Hua Jing spoke to remind me, I was already awake. It wasn’t the Heart Buddha choosing me, it was me actively choosing the Heart Buddha! Someday, I will complete my mission with my own hands!"

For the last time, she lifted her head, looking into the depths of the valley, her eyes seemed to burn with unquenchable flames, this sentence like a dream murmur, not knowing to whom she spoke:

"I will never be tempted by any corruption... not even that Master of Dreams!"

As her voice fell, the wind roared, and dust flew.

Her full head of black hair danced with the wind, the graceful skirt rustling loudly in the air.

Tiao Yaoyao watched this peerlessly elegant fairy, knowing she would walk a path entirely different from her own, a path tainted with corruption, where insects swarmed.

But this corruption would only stain her clothes, not her heart.

"Go."

"Yaoyao..."

"Before you leave, remember to use your skill to trap me here."

"I..."

"Go on! You were speaking so confidently just now! Why hesitate now! Going back to the Exorcism Bureau, do you think you still have a chance to walk this path!"

"..."

"Hey! Remember! From now on, eradicating corruption and upholding the way isn’t just your mission, it’s mine too! Now you’re an Evil Cultivator, someday I will catch you back! Then I will fiercely bully the man you like in front of you!"

"I, thank you..."

"Get lost!"

And in the depths of the valley, those pure white eyes reflected a slim purple silhouette.

She drifted with the wind, gradually moving farther away...
