Chapter 908: The Saintess Choice

Bai Jiacaos face suddenly turned red.

I I wasnt in a good mood that day because of my brothers matter. Those b*stards had to come and provoke me

Im just born with divine power, so Im good at fighting, she said in embarra.s.sment.

Dont belittle yourself.

A strange light flashed in Lu Siyas eyes as she stared deeply at Bai Jiacao. Those blind guys all regard you as a warrior who only knows how to fight. But in my eyes, you are a piece of unpolished jade with infinite potential. You have a power in your body that even you havent discovered yet. If you can fully unleash it, you might be even more powerful than your brother!

Besides, n.o.body is born to be able to read peoples minds and plan strategies. Youll be able to make a decisive victory and use astronomical resources to change the world.

Although Im still learning and exploring, its too lonely to travel by myself on a long journey. If youre interested, why dont I teach you?

Huh?

Bai Jiacao was dazed for a moment. She pointed at the tip of her nose and asked, Can I learn anything other than fighting?

Lu Siya burst into laughter.

Of course you can. Youre the Little Witch!

She leaned over Bai Jiacaos shoulder, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, Xiaocao, I can feel that you and I are the same kind of people. Whatever I can do, you can do it too. Maybe you can do it better than me!

Bai Jiacaos ears turned red all the way to her cheeks, and she stammered, I-I cant imagine surpa.s.sing you, Sister Siya. However, I do admire you a lot. I feel that I have a lot to learn from you.

The nickname Queen Bee alone is very domineering, awe-inspiring, and awesome

In that case, we have decided easily and happily.

Lu Siya said, After we go back, Ill think about which courses to arrange for you. No matter how tiring and busy the work of the Research Department is, Ill try my best to take half an hour to an hour every day to help you grow as soon as possible. Try your best to take time out!

No problem. I was worried that the martial arts courses in university were too simple and that I wouldnt be able to eat my fill!

Bai Jiacao waved her fists excitedly and promised Lu Siya solemnly. Sister Siya, dont worry. Although I dont know if I can do it or not, Ill definitely put in a lot of effort to learn it.

I must become strong and grow up as soon as possible so that I can shoulder the burden of my family and my business.

When my brother comes back, Ill give him a big surprise when he sees everything in perfect order and in a brand-new state!

Thats right.

Looking at the raging Killing Tiger Gorge and Guillotine in front of her, Lu Siyas smile grew wider, When your brother comes back and sees that we are so harmonious and intimate, and that we are working together to make Superstar bigger and stronger, and that you have grown, he will definitely be pleasantly surprised.

When the Queen Bee and Little Witch started their conversation

There were also two other people on the last search and rescue teams s.h.i.+p, one big and one small. Wearing life jackets and waterproof capes, they stood on the deck and looked at the magnificent Killing Tiger Gorge as well as Guillotine.

They were Su Mulian and AJi from Leprosy Village in the former Lair.

The two of them were the key players in solving the chaos in Dragon City.

They had formed a deep friends.h.i.+p with Meng Chao in the b.l.o.o.d.y battle where they almost died.

During the last search and rescue, they said that they would come to the scene and look for Meng Chao.

But it was only a superficial reason.

In reality, AJi was not a teenager leper who was less than ten years old, stunted, and living as a pickpocket.

He was the first lord of the Lair and one of the strongest people in Dragon City, Domineering Saber Jin Wanhao. He used the secret technique of Rejuvenation, but it was an accidental product of an experiment gone wrong.

There were two people who knew his secret ident.i.ty.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

Now, there was only one left.

Seeing that the leading s.h.i.+p had issued the Return banner, AJi heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a subtle smile.

He suppressed his joy and comforted Su Mulian, who had been as silent as a statue since they boarded the s.h.i.+p. Sister Mulian, dont be too sad. Although the search this time remained fruitless, we still havent found Brother Meng Chaos corpse.

Fortune favors the blessed. Perhaps brother Meng Chao is still alive and enjoying himself in an unknown place?

I know that Meng Chao is still alive.

Su Mulian was silent for a while. When the boat turned around, she rolled her eyes and softly said, This is the problem. This is the problem that I have been worried about.

Huh?

The sound of the waterfall was too loud. AJi did not hear her at all and did not understand what she said.

He thought that Su Mulian was heartbroken and in a trance.

He could only hold Su Mulians arm to prevent her from falling off the side of the boat. He carefully asked, Sister Mulian, do you like brother Meng Chao?

AJi had wanted to say something like, If you really like brother Meng Chao, you should cheer up for him and live well.

Unexpectedly, Su Mulian shook her head solemnly.

Its not what you think. My relations.h.i.+p with Meng Chao doesnt involve any romantic feelings.

Her gaze pierced through Killing Tiger Gorge and extended toward the horizon behind the clouds. Then she changed the subject. However, Meng Chao is indeed a very special existence to me.

This incident has been like a heavy bomb that has shattered the iron wall around my soul. I can no longer escape and can only face my true self.

AJi, what kind of person do you think I am?

AJi was confused by her.

After thinking for a while, he decided to tell her the truth. Gentle, kind, selfless, full of compa.s.sion, full of boundless love, and willing to contribute all of her strength for a stranger who has no family or friends. You simple resemble a fairy that has fallen from the sky, a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering!

Su Mulian could not help but laugh.

She burst into tears.

Youre so little. How can you be so over-the-top?

She pinched AJis cheek.

Then, she grabbed the railing on the side of the s.h.i.+p tightly.

The strength she exerted was so great that it seemed like she was going to break the steel pipe.

Yes, many people think like you. Not only do they call me Little Miracle Doctor, they even call me Saintess or something like that. But only I know that Im not who you say I am.

Su Mulian mumbled to herself, Unlike your praises, the realest Su Mulian is actually a timid, incompetent, and indecisive selfish person deep down in her heart.

She knows that a disaster is coming, but she only knows how to protect herself.

She can try to change and stop it, but shes afraid that shes too weak and doesnt know where to start.

I want to force myself to ignore all of this, but I cant sleep at night because of the guilt. I can only keep transferring the pain of others to myself, using inhuman pain to make my conscience feel better.

However, isnt this still lying to myself?

Even if I can transfer everyones pain to myself, whats the use? Ive never really saved anyone. In fact, what Ive done will only make everyone suffer longer, more miserably, and more desperately!

Her voice was very weak.

AJi really did not understand what she was saying.

He only felt that her expression was frighteningly ugly.

Sister Mulian, are you alright?

He was worried and wondering if he should call for help.

Im fine.

Su Mulian took a deep breath and regained her calm. She revealed a completely different smile from a moment ago.

She had seemingly shattered and reshaped something at the bottom of her heart.

I just dont want to deceive myself anymore and run away from what I should be facing. I can finally summon the courage to embark on the journey that belongs to me.

Su Mulian smiled. Youre right. There is no b.u.t.terfly effect. There is nothing that can be changed without any effort. There is no future that can be created without paying any price, right?

If I want to change the course of the surging Red Dragon River or the Raging Tiger River, countless lives will be sacrificed.

If I want to change the course of something thats a hundred times more ferocious than the Red Dragon River or the Raging Tiger River, its reasonable even if Im smashed into pieces.

Perhaps, those things that are destined to be doomed will still be doomed no matter how hard I fight them.

But at least, so many people call me Little Divine Doctor or even Saintess. Believe me, I can save everyone. I jsut have to act like a Saintess. AJi, dont you think so?

Is that so?

Ah Ji frowned and said, Sister Mulian, whats wrong with you today? Youre acting weird.

Dont worry, Im fine, really. I just want to ask you some questions, Su Mulian said

I cant ask adults these questions because they will definitely find it very strange. I also cant ask ordinary children because they cant answer them at all..

You, on the other hand, are a little brat. You have been in the Lair for so many years, and you are more shrewd than anyone else. Perhaps you can help me find some clues?

AJis eyes lit up. He rubbed his fists and said, Sister Mulian, what would you like to know? AJi promises to tell you everything!

Su Mulian said, I want to know. Is there any way to make everyone believe me?

AJi was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head and said, What kind of question is that? Everyone believes in you now!

Im not talking about the normal level of trust. Im talking about no matter what absurd things I say, people will believe me without a doubt.

Su Mulian said, For example, if I say that the sky is red and the sun is square, monsters are vegetarians and humans are cannibals, a certain great hero with outstanding military achievements is actually a heinous devil while the great villain that is widely condemned is a great good man who has long-term plans and has endured humiliation, the glorious civilization that looks like flowers and oil cooked by a raging fire will be annihilated overnight, and the seemingly insignificant seedling will become the most terrifying enemy at some point in the futureas long as I open my mouth, all the people of Dragon City will firmly believe my absurd words.

Is there a way to achieve such a level of trust?
