Chapter 496: Chapter 62: Sacrifice, Eternal Companions
Weiwei never imagined that one day, she would sacrifice her own life for someone.
Just like she had never considered whether her life was fortunate or unfortunate.
Weiwei was her name.
Like all orphans, she had a name but no surname.
She had been an orphan since she was a baby, raised by a drinking healer.
The healer never named her; whenever he sent her to buy alcohol, he would just shout: "Hey--Hey--"
Over time, she ended up being called Weiwei.
Following the healer, she learned some basic healing techniques, living inconsistently with meals and shelter.
If it weren’t for an accident where the healer froze to death on the streets while drunk, and she met the Compass while burying her foster father the healer, she might have continued her homeless life.
Compass spent money to bury her foster father and took her into the "Second Generation Soldier."
Although everyone in the "Second Generation Soldier" small team said that Compass was a swindler, she still remembered that the boastful, always broke fat man was her benefactor.
Out of gratitude, she came to Xuan Beast Ridge, hoping to gather Gold Coins day by day and rescue Compass from the Shang Country’s Heavenly Prison.
But unexpectedly, before she could rescue Compass, she herself fell into the belly of a beast.
When she thought she was undoubtedly going to die, after enduring several days, she felt someone saving her.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen filled with pity, warmth, and encouragement.
The days spent with the July Team was the happiest time she had, where Weiwei found the meaning of survival.
Although Brother Feng was nearly oppressive towards his teammates, the warm expression on his face when he niggly took out a bunch of Dark Pills was very heartening.
The night before sending her into the Wanyi Array for trials, Weiwei clearly remembered a sentence spoken by Brother Yue: "Every inch has its strength; every foot has its shortcomings, Weiwei, grow up. One day, you will become an indispensable member of the team."
But she ultimately disappointed Brother Yue, because of her, on the Spring Path, Brother Yue lost Yue Chen and Ye Zi.
In the Opportunity Transmission Array, it was because of her that step by step, Brother Yue walked into the Nirvana Fire Array.
It was her, without her, Brother Yue would never have succumbed to Huo Fengyan.
Two clear tears slid down Weiwei’s cheeks.
Upon hitting the ground, the tears turned into fireflies.
She felt the life force gradually draining from her body, like a Blue Snow Candle burning its last drop of wax.
She liked Brother Yue, unrelated to gender, simply fondness.
Whether Brother Yue was male or female didn’t matter.
Her vision gradually blurred, and her soul evaporated drop by drop.
The technique of sacrifice, this time, Weiwei called for Brother Yue’s revival with her life.
The flames of the Nirvana Fire Array gradually extinguished, yet it’s a pity that she couldn’t see the dazzling brilliance like a phoenix’s nirvana when Brother Yue walked out of the Nirvana Fire Array.
Yue Jinghua, a person as eye-catching and radiant as the sun.
Goodbye, Brother Yue.
Farewell, comrades of the July Team.
If life could start over, Weiwei would still wish to be your companion.
Weiwei, proud to be a member of the July Team.
Like moths to a flame, when the last bit of Life Force burst forth from Weiwei’s body, Yue Jinghua’s Primordial Spirit was only a few steps away.
"No--" Yue Jinghua could not believe that Weiwei would use the Sacrifice Technique to save her own life.
She flew forward, trying to catch Weiwei’s quietly falling body.
However, the invisible attraction between the Primordial Spirit and the body within the Nirvana Fire Array prevented her from getting close to Weiwei’s dissipating body.
Dispersing, dispersing, at last, she could only watch as Weiwei’s body turned into a swath of green light, like a flickering star, disappearing before her eyes.
"Weiwei!" Yue Jinghua cried out loudly, but the only response was the powerless moaning of the wind.
Yiren is gone, beauty turns to bones in an instant.
From childhood, her eyes, which had lost the ability to cry, silently shed tears like falling pearls, "Why, why choose this way, I am still here, I have always been here."
Weiwei, always the most well-behaved in the July Mercenary Team.
Her personality seemed timid, yet she was strong-willed.
During trials in the Wanyi Array, Yue Jinghua was surprised to hear from the snake-haired Gorgon that among all mercenaries, Weiwei had the longest training time, almost continuously without sleep.
"Brother Yue, I’ve realized a particularly powerful Dark Technique, though I might not use it, it’s a tremendously remarkable technique," the Dark Technique Weiwei spoke of with excitement, turned out to be the Sacrifice Technique.
Silly Weiwei, if possible, Brother Yue would never want you to use the method of Sacrifice in your lifetime.
Tears moistened her cheeks, and Yue Jinghua painfully closed her eyes.
Before her in the Nirvana Fire Array, shone a dazzling light as bright as fire.
Suddenly, a strong beam of light streaked past Yue Jinghua from behind her, and Mo Kang’s voice, cool as water quenching fire, extinguished Yue Jinghua’s grief.
"Haha, little girl, they say women cannot achieve great things, reborn by sacrifice, I’ll gladly take your body," Mo Kang said mockingly.
Yue Jinghua’s heart tightened, her mind, clouded by grief, suddenly cleared. Mo Kang, that old ruffian, actually wanted to take advantage of the situation.
No longer hesitating, her Second Primordial Spirit also rushed into the Nirvana Fire Array.
Two Primordial Spirits, one after the other, like two long-awaited Divine Weapons, shot directly towards that "shell" in the Nirvana Fire Array.
"Little girl, you’re seeking your own death, be careful lest I scatter your soul and spirit. Give up this body, and one day you’ll naturally have the opportunity to find a suitable shell," Mo Kang, having gained the Green Liquid, had his Primordial Spirit greatly strengthened.
Already a Dark Heavenly Peak, he naturally did not consider Yue Jinghua, with only Dark Earth Cultivation, worth noting.
Primordial Spirits clashing is far more dangerous than ordinary physical fighting; a single mistake could lead to the scattering of the soul, never to be recovered.
Mo Kang thought to himself, Yue Jinghua’s body, though female, reborn through Nirvana Fire and having absorbed the most sincere and kind Sacrifice Power from the world, had visibly strengthened. If he could snatch it, Mo Kang believed that in time, he could certainly break through the Dan Realm.
Yue Jinghua thought, the body Weiwei sacrificed her life to retrieve for her, how could she allow others to defile it.
Mo Kang wanting to snatch her body, she wouldn’t even think about it.
Once both Primordial Spirits entered the body, Mo Kang was incredibly cunning, darting left and right, heading straight for Yue Jinghua’s Dantian. For a Dark Practitioner, the Dantian, like the human heart, is crucial.
Once the Dantian is taken, the body becomes his.
