Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 871 Tears of the Goddess
  "I don't know!" Gu Xun frowned and muttered suspiciously.

Xiao Li continued, "All I know is that the conditions at that time were not mature, and Lady Xuannu just let the last weapon demon fall into a deep sleep."

"When the time is right, the dragon soul will awaken, and I...and a girl with a mission will appear, taking the dragon soul to Loulan to destroy the Demon God of Soldiers."

In the middle of speaking, Xiao Li paused, trying his best to conceal his special identity.

Gu Xun glanced at her, pretending that he didn't notice anything unusual about her, and continued to ask:
  "In short, it is now possible to destroy the Demon God of War, and do you need to personally complete this task that has been delayed for thousands of years?"

Xiao Li didn't reply, but nodded his head gently in confirmation.

tick tock...tick tock...

Gu Xun changed his sitting posture, leaned back, and tapped his hands on the table rhythmically. After a moment, he asked again:

"Does it only require the power of the dragon soul to destroy the Demon God of War?"

When Xiao Li heard this question, his hand couldn't help but reach up to his chest and hold the clear blue diamond-shaped gem.

Touching the gem on his chest, Xiao Li's heart calmed down and he answered Gu Xundao calmly, "That's right."

"All it takes is... the power of the dragon soul."

"You're lying to me!" Gu Xun retracted his hands fiercely, leaned forward, almost lying on the table, stared at Xiao Li, and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Li was startled by Gu Xun's sudden approach, and he couldn't help but step back.

However, she did not respond to Gu Xun's question.

Gu Xun did not put on an oppressive posture to scare her. His body resumed its leaning position, and he casually reached out and pointed at Xiaoli's chest, "Can you tell me, what is that?"

Xiao Li lowered his head and glanced at the gem, clenching his palms a little tighter, but still not answering.

Gu Xun didn't have the taste to grab the little girl's things directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "You know, you give me a very special feeling."

Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat.

This seems to be what I want to say...

Gu Xun didn't know Xiao Li's psychological activities, so he said to himself, "In my contact with you, no matter which of the five senses it is, it clearly tells me that you are a person, a living person."

"But after putting aside these most direct senses, your existence is rather strange."

"How to describe it... It's like a ball of energy that comes alive, do you understand?"

Xiao Li is not a human being, but in the eyes of others she is undoubtedly a human being.

No matter whether it is an ordinary boy like Tianming Shaoyu or a master of martial arts like Wei Zhuang's eldest son Siming, they can't see through her specialness.

Even Gu Xun's ability to discover something strange was based on the premise of knowing it earlier.

If not, he might not be able to discover it all at once.

And the vague feeling that Xiao Li gave him was like... Hongmao's volcanic stone crystal came to life.

Energy that has no substance has gained substance.

Gu Xun continued, "I think all these abnormalities are related to the gem on your chest, right?"

At this point, Xiao Li finally relented and replied, "This is the tears of the goddess."

"In ancient times, Chi You brought devastating disasters to this land, and also brought disaster to his people."

"After Chi You was defeated and died in battle, Chi You's family was burdened with endless sins. They lived in exile for a lifetime and were almost extinct in the hatred of the world."

"Faced with the devastated land and devastated life, the goddess shed a tear of compassion, allowing the Chi You family to barely survive."

"This tear later turned into this gem called the Tears of the Goddess."

"In order to soothe the trauma of the earth, the tears of the goddess exhausted its power. However, if you want to completely destroy the final soldier and demon, you must use the goddess of tears to assist the power of the dragon soul." "Until today, the goddess The Tears of the Goddess finally regained their strength, and I, the incarnation of the Tears of the Goddess, am tasked with pursuing the dragon soul, destroying the Demon God of War, and completely eradicating the thousands-year-old hatred between the Loulan and Chiyou clans."

"What a great mission..." Gu Xun said with emotion in a tone that was hard to understand, almost sighing and sarcastic.

Xiao Li, who had almost told all the facts he knew, couldn't help but ask Gu Xundao, "What do you want to do by asking these questions?"

Gu Xun raised his head, rubbed his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't stop you from destroying the Demon God of War."

Xiao Li felt relieved after hearing Gu Xun's assurance.

Although it was just an ordinary sentence, she was willing to believe in Gu Xun and do what she said.

Then Gu Xun asked, "If you really use the power of the tears of the goddess and the power of the dragon soul to destroy the Demon God of War, what happens next?"

"What will happen to you who exists based on the tears of the goddess?"

Gu Xun lowered his head and stared intently into Xiao Li's bright eyes.

Xiao Li subconsciously averted his gaze, turned to one side and replied, "I... completed my mission and left here."

Gu Xun raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and said with a joking smile, "You will probably leave completely, right?

Xiao Li responded immediately without hesitation, "As long as I complete my mission, that's enough."

"Is it possible that your existence is just for this mission?" Gu Xun asked.

Xiao Li still did not hesitate and nodded firmly.

Gu Xun slowly shook his head in denial and said, "No, this is the mission of the Tears of the Goddess and the Dragon Soul, not you and the little Pixiu."

Xiao Li opened his mouth to refute Gu Xun, but he took it back and asked instead, "You... don't want the Demon God of War to be destroyed?"

"I said, I have no objection to this matter." Gu Xun denied.

"Then you... don't want me to..." Xiao Li muttered half a sentence.

Gu Xun waved his hand and denied it, "I'm just not used to hiding behind a little girl and watching her fight for her life."

Xiao Li: "..."

"The Demon God of Soldiers... The Demon God of Soldiers..." Gu Xun muttered the name several times, and then asked, "If you want to destroy the Demon God of Soldiers, do you have to break its seal first?"

"Yeah." Xiao Li nodded.

Gu Xun couldn't help but rub his eyebrows again. It seemed that it was impossible to use any tricks.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Li couldn't help but persuade him, "This is my fate and has nothing to do with you. You don't have to..."

Gu Xun waved his hand impatiently, "Don't talk to me about fate!"

"Those gods have disappeared from this land for who knows how many years? They can't even keep themselves alive, so how can they decide the fate of others thousands of years from now!"

"..." Seeing that Gu Xun seemed to dislike seeing the gods, Xiao Li didn't try to refute anything and shut up obediently.

After Gu Xun took two deep breaths, he said to Xiao Li, "You can go."

"When I turn around, Gong Shuqiu will probably ask you about the whereabouts of the dragon soul. You can ignore him, he won't hurt you."

"However, Da Siming can read minds with yin and yang. Will that thing be effective on you?"

Xiao Li bit her lip and thought for a moment, then replied uncertainly, "It's probably useless."

She doesn't know exactly what Yin Yang Mind Reading is, but it probably won't work on her. The Tears of the Goddess will protect her.
