Chapter 168: The Senior Sister Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness (55)
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the light, Sister Liu began to get anxious: "Zhenzhen, you just said that as long as someone is willing to replace him, he can be free. How can we replace him?"
"Is it worth it?" Yun Zhen glanced at Duan He and said, "In order to send this person to the Eastern Continent, you finally recovered from your old injuries and returned to your prime state. As a result, after just one encounter, your state of mind was damaged and part of your cultivation was lost."
Duan He didn't say anything, but just tried his best to get the wooden boat to the shore as soon as possible.
"Yeah! Is it worth it?" Sister Liu smiled, "I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe it's because the waiting is too painful! I actually feel sorry for him!"
As they were talking, the boat had already reached the shore of Dongji Continent. Duan He did not hesitate at all and used his spiritual power to send them off the boat.
"Go, go!" Duan He urged, "A person like me is not worthy of your sympathy, just treat me as if I were dead."
At this point, he became even more ruthless and threw the willow branch that had been protecting him directly at Sister Liu's feet: "I'll give it back to you. We will no longer be friends from now on."
Yun Zhen always felt that this man was doing this on purpose, so she didn’t stop and dragged Sister Liu towards the entrance of Dongji Continent: “He has already returned the token of love to you, what are you still doing here?
Don't you like handsome men? There are plenty of them in the East Continent. There are people and monsters. Why bother to fight with a boatman here? I think he did it on purpose so that he can trick you into being his own and let his soul be free."
For a moment, Sister Liu seemed to have been persuaded by Yun Zhen, and she followed her in the direction of the Dongji Continent.
But after walking a few steps, he looked back in the direction where the wooden boat had docked, and there seemed to be nothing there.
A huge panic hung over Sister Liu's heart: Would this separation last another hundred years, or even thousands or even tens of thousands of years?
Thinking of this, Sister Liu no longer hesitated, just be silly! Life is supposed to have something to stick to, isn't it?
She shook off Yun Zhen's hand and rushed in the opposite direction: "Duan He, wait for me, I am willing to replace you as the spirit of the ferry, you are free!"
After hearing these words, Yun Zhen's instinct was: Oh no, this stupid tree is doomed!
Sister Liu is the incarnation of a tree spirit, and is more suitable to be the spirit of a ferry than a human soul.
The result was that after she shouted, the ferry that had already gone far away reappeared on the shore, and a ray of light enveloped Sister Liu.
Yun Zhen immediately took out her "bamboo sword" and chopped at the spiritual light, trying to stop Sister Liu and the ferry from merging, but no matter how many times she chopped, it bounced back.
On second thought, this ferry was probably abandoned by some unknown powerful person in order to leave a glimmer of hope for the cultivators. She estimated that she would not be able to destroy it in a short time, but she could wait for that "damn" Duan He to come out and then let him replace Sister Liu.
After all, he is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it will not be a big problem for Yun Zhen to capture him. However, when this man appears, he is a ghost cultivator, and his soul state is a little difficult to catch.
Touching the soul-gathering cup on her wrist, she ordered Xiao Qi to keep her lock on the target at all times and not let go of a single soul.
But it was strange that after the spiritual light disappeared, Duan He’s soul never appeared.
"This ship?" Yun Zhen was shocked. "How come it seems to have grown bigger and more luxurious? What's with the sails on this ship?"
The tattered ferries just now have now disappeared, replaced by a type of boat called the "black-sailed boat" that Yun Zhen had seen in the mortal world.
The boat was narrow, with a low awning and was black in color. The bow was pointed and slightly tilted upward, while the stern was relatively broad and floated steadily in the air.
The awning looked like it was made of woven bamboo strips, covering the boat in an arch shape. It was black and shiny, as if it had been coated with tung oil.
There was a circle of black curtain hanging on the edge of the awning, and there was a row of oars on each side of the hull, with slender blades and short oar handles.
"Still capturing souls?" Xiao Qi asked doubtfully, "I don't feel any soul breath!"
The newly renovated boat slowly landed in front of Yun Zhen. She looked at the bow and saw the sloppy boatman and the "heartbroken" Sister Liu standing there.
They are clearly a pair of "stinky Taoist couple" who are "Ku Ku" showing off their love to each other!
The couple snuggled together, wearing the same light blue clothes. The most important thing was that both of them looked much younger.
The man looked to be no more than twenty years old, and Sister Liu was even younger, no more than sixteen years old.
She looks younger than Yun Zhen.
"Who are you?" Yun Zhen looked at the shy girl and was a little afraid to recognize her for a moment. "Are you a new bud on an old tree? When I rushed over just now, you were obviously over 40 years old. How did you become like this all of a sudden?"
"I'm your sister Liu!" Sister Liu lowered her head a little embarrassedly, "I was like this when Duan He and I first met."
"No, who do you think looks more like my sister now, between the two of us?" Yun Zhen interrupted unhappily, "Does this soul-locking formation have some hidden secret? How can it make people return to youth?"
