Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 205 Good and Evil (Two in One)

Qinglin rarely lies.

This is especially true when facing the few people who show kindness to her.

But the words of Miss Ruoruo in front of her made it impossible for her to admit it no matter what.

In fact, Qinglin had never looked at the scales on her body with appreciation, let alone examining them carefully. Even during her daily bathing and cleaning, she didn't dare to look at her body for more than a second, as if looking at them would be a sin.

In the Tagor Desert, the human race and the snake people have always had an irreconcilable hatred.

In addition to fighting on the battlefield, humans would abduct snake women and sell them as slaves, and the snake people would also deliberately capture human women and abuse and torture them.

According to common sense, it is extremely difficult for snake people to have offspring when they have relations with humans. Even if they really have that one in ten thousand chance of successfully giving birth to a child, the child will often not survive past the age of two due to the lack of the natal snake spirit.

However, Qinglin is the outlier among the outliers.

Qinglin didn't think it was a blessing that he didn't die young.

Even if I could live to this age, what would be the point?
The blood of hatred for each other will only give birth to the curse of sin, and there will be no kindness at all.

No matter how cautious she was in her relationships with others, no matter how hard-working and tireless she was, she would do much more work than the average person without complaint, but all she would receive in return was the contempt and ridicule of others.

Dislike is disgust, it does not need any reason and will not accept any persuasion
So, she didn't want to be the 'exceptional'.

No one urged him, no one looked at him strangely, Qinglin carefully looked at the snake scales on his arm with appreciation.

She had seen many snake-people women and had dealings with many human women, but their arms didn't seem as beautiful as hers.

The snake woman's arms were covered entirely with scales, making it almost impossible to see the skin. The arms of human women were too smooth, and Qinglin, who had the blood of the snake people, felt that it was very monotonous.

To be honest, Miss Ruoruo's scales might be the most beautiful type she had ever seen, but the other party simply decorated them with some method she had never heard of, and they were fake.

After thinking about it, Qinglin, who has always been timid and inferior, feels that his is the most beautiful.

Unfortunately, the price of being different is too high, so high that she can only say "ordinary is best" against her will.

It is because she has understood this countless times that she does not seek others' approval of her aesthetic taste. She only hopes to remain inconspicuous and be content to be the object of countless people's ridicule.

"sorry."

Qinglin said in a low voice. She knew that her lie was clumsy and that it was inappropriate to do so, but she still couldn't control her fear.

For a moment, feelings of shame and inferiority surged into her heart, making her almost unwilling to continue sitting there.

"There's nothing wrong in feeling ordinary is good, so why should Xiao Qinglin apologize?"

Hun Ruoruo stretched out her hand and transformed Qinglin's other arm into a human appearance.

"Whether it's fake or real, it doesn't matter. Whatever suits you best is enough. This fighting technique should last for a few days. Why not try it out and see which one suits you best?"

Listening to Hun Ruoruo's words, Qing Lin stood there in a daze. After a long time, the small green dot deep in his pupil seemed to become a little brighter, and then emitted an extremely subtle magical fluctuation.

"I understand. Thank you, Sister Ruoruo."

After responding softly, a bright smile suddenly broke out on Qinglin's little face. Then he stood up and took out the food from the wooden box one by one, fearing that the food would get cold due to his previous delay.

"Have you learned it?" Hun Ruoruo looked at Qing Lin who was busy in front of her and said softly to Xiao Yan beside her.

"What did you learn?"

Recalling the previous scene that could even be described as 'heartwarming', Xiao Yan was a little unresponsive for a moment and turned around to ask.

Looking at the pair of confused eyes, Hun Ruoruo slightly turned away, secretly sighed in her heart, and simply changed the subject.

"Disguise fighting skills, Third Young Master, you've been learning for so long, it's time for some progress. Before, when you were with the snake people, your disguise couldn't even deceive a fighting spirit. Isn't your progress too slow?"

"Ahem! I can't practice extremely Yin-attributed fighting techniques in the desert. I'm not a woman."

"."

After lunch, Hun Ruoruo sent Xiao Yan away on the pretext of seclusion, and asked Qing Lin to stay with Xiao Yan temporarily, without having to serve her for the next few days.

Layers of barriers were set up in the courtyard, and Hun Ruoruo took off her Taoist robe, revealing a thin black shirt. She tied her hair up casually, and her previous gentleness and cuteness were no longer visible. Instead, she exuded a refreshing and heroic air.

"It's a sin that the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils were born into this little girl. I can't easily tempt her into a deal."

Hun Ruoruo smiled slightly, but her eyes no longer contained the comfort and pity she had before, instead they were filled with an inexplicable wave of emotion.

"Tsk, resources can't impress her, and status doesn't matter to her. She just needs recognition and influence from others. It turns out that the people around Xiao Yan are not the type I am good at dealing with. They are even easier to deceive than those old guys in the Yunlan Sect."

The Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil is the most important reason why she followed Xiao Yan to Shimo City.

Queen Medusa has two souls in one body, which makes it much more difficult to control than an ordinary soul. Coupled with her Dou Zong cultivation, if one is not careful, driving them will be accompanied by great risks.

What Xiao Yan said was right. Queen Medusa was indeed a powder keg that could explode at any time. That was why Hun Ruoruo would never let Queen Medusa deviate from the expected direction.

In her opinion, any relationship, any oath, is not as effective as the soul seal.

Therefore, planting a soul seal for Queen Medusa is Hun Ruoruo's most urgent goal.

The soul control of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils is obviously the best auxiliary tool.

In order to turn the Yunlan Sect's Soul Palace power into the cornerstone of her cultivation, she must be fully prepared.

It is not impossible for a Dou Huang to deal with two Dou Zongs at the same time, but she has just made a breakthrough not long ago and her foundation is still shallow. It is obviously a pipe dream for her to want to block all the retreat routes of the Dou Zongs.

Therefore, in addition to one's own strength, taking advantage of the situation is also an indispensable part.

As a Dou Zong, Queen Medusa was naturally included in her plan without any surprise.

"Xiao Qinglin, I have spent a lot of energy on you, please don't let me down."

Hun Ruoruo slightly clenched her hands in the air, and a dark and strange soul token appeared in her hand. As the token vibrated, a red soul body appeared in the house.

It was the Dou Wang commander who was killed by Xiao Yan - Yan Ci!
At this moment, he had been tortured by the Soul Order to the point of almost losing his mind. The entanglement between the snake spirit and his own soul had also been largely split, and he looked like a strange worm with two tails stuck together.

"Secretly using the Soul Order to capture your soul took up a lot of my energy. Let me experiment on how to separate the snake man and the snake spirit, hehe~"

The soul power turned into a sharp blade and began to cut Yan Ci's soul bit by bit, causing his illusory body to twist and tremble violently.

"Ahhh!!!"

An unconscious howl was heard, and the Flame Thorn and the Snake Spirit all burst out with a powerful soul shock, shaking away the sharp blade condensed by Hun Ruoruo.

Seeing this scene, Hun Ruoruo couldn't help but be a little surprised, and quickly turned her gaze to the place where the two souls were connected.

It was seen that the Snake Spirit and the Flame Thorn, which had been almost indistinguishable from each other, gradually began to show two different soul characteristics! "It is indeed so." Hun Ruoruo muttered with a hint of fanaticism in the depths of her pupils.

The soul, as the foundation of spiritual creatures, is absolutely unique, whether it is a human or a monster, and the characteristics of the soul will never change.

But the special case of Queen Medusa made Hun Ruoruo begin to doubt the authenticity of this situation.

The secret method of the snake people is to inject the snake spirit into the body of the snake people from the moment they are born, and merge them into one during the years of growth.

This is actually a loophole, because normally speaking, snake spirits and snake people are one and the same, and nothing will change from birth to death, so they will naturally be counted as the same soul.

But what if they are forcibly separated?
Will the snake man and the snake spirit be split into two like Queen Medusa?
Hun Ruoruo, who was born in the Soul Clan, certainly did not have this kind of trouble, as ordinary people did not have the means. With the help of the soul-stealing technique, she quickly conjured up a pair of peculiarly shaped scissors again and began to experimentally cut the connection between the two.

As early as when she was a Dou Wang, Hun Ruoruo could easily gnaw the soul of a Dou Huang into pieces. Therefore, such a small matter as tearing the soul apart was actually the easiest part of the experiment.

"Uh-huh!"

Along with the teeth-grinding sound of scissors snapping, the howls of Yan Ci and Snake Spirit almost changed in tone. Perhaps their will to survive was completely aroused, and they actually condensed their soul power together, turning it into an impact and smashing towards Hun Ruoruo.

"It's you! You bitch, what did you do to my natal snake spirit?!"

Pulling at the snake spirit, Yan Ci's almost twisted, inhuman soul let out a frightened roar.

He blasted out a streak of soul and immediately began to struggle violently. The pain of his soul being torn apart was even more painful than when the unknown black-robed boy had his head blown apart with one punch after another.

"it hurts!"

The girl who was hit by the soul thread tilted her head as if she was shocked, let out a cry of pain, and then stopped what she was doing.

"Haha, bitch, we snake people are not monsters. When it comes to soul power, we are no worse than you humans. How dare you look down on me?"

Yan Ci, who survived the disaster, laughed crazily, but before he could finish his words, a scene that made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave appeared in his sight.

She shook her little head, and the girl's face, which was hidden by her hair, was revealed again. She was laughing with a pure and flawless smile.

"I'm kidding—"

This crude method, which cannot even be considered a soul shock, cannot hurt Hun Ruoruo no matter how many times it comes. Yan Ci's actions are undoubtedly no different from an ant trying to shake a tree.

A crisp sound of "crack" was heard, and Yan Ci discovered with horror that the connection between him and the snake spirit had been severed abruptly!
"Ho ho!"

Yan Ci tried to say something, but found that his soul, which had barely maintained consciousness before, began to disintegrate like mud, and then collapsed bit by bit in those mocking and indifferent eyes.

This vicious woman has been playing tricks on me since the beginning.
His consciousness gradually collapsed, Yan Ci's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness, but in the end he was still without any movement.

"Huh? Why does it break down as soon as you cut it? It's completely different from Queen Medusa. Hmm, it's soft and fluffy, a bit like jelly."

The girl's voice of laughter sounded, and she reached out and poked the two soul light balls wrapped in soul water and fighting spirit. They jumped and jumped very cutely.

"Jelly, delicious."

Waves of fake swallowing sounds were heard, with a chilling purple light that completely covered the white Taoist robe placed aside.

In the house, only a dark figure remained.

"Teacher, are you done with your retreat?"

After finishing the important matters of the mercenary group, Xiao Yan sat back in the tent and called out quietly.

"Haha, Xiao Yanzi, your perception has become much sharper now."

A familiar old man's voice came, and then transformed into the image of Yao Lao.

"How did you get it?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "When Qing Lin was here earlier, I suddenly felt a bit of Teacher's Bone Spirit Cold Fire's aura. I guess Teacher accidentally revealed his aura at that time, right?"

The connection between the different fires is quite sensitive. Even with the strength of Yao Laotian's soul, he cannot conceal it unless he uses all his strength. This is a special connection that even Hun Ruoruo cannot detect.

"Yes, the little girl before seemed to give me some strange aura." Yao Lao pondered, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Strange smell?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked in astonishment: "Teacher, are you referring to Qing Lin? She is a hybrid of the snake people and humans. Having a strange aura shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"You think I can't tell she's mixed-race?"

Yao Lao rolled his eyes. "It's precisely because she's a mixed-blood that something seems off. Logically speaking, a snake-human hybrid wouldn't live to her age."

Seeing Xiao Yan was about to refute, Yao Lao raised his hand to interrupt him and asked, "Why do you think, with the girl's personality, she cares so much about a maid?"

"Perhaps, out of sympathy?"

"Come on, when has she ever been so kind? You little bastard, I think you've really been bewitched by that girl. If she harbors any ill will towards you, she'll sell you out in a snap of her fingers."

Yao Lao glared at Xiao Yan and said with a look of disappointment.

My disciple was clearly full of fighting spirit when facing a beauty like Queen Medusa, but when interacting with Hun Ruoruo, he suddenly changed into a silly boy with a lot of disgusting thoughts in his mind. He really has two different faces in front of others and behind their backs.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head with a blushing face, and then said with some dissatisfaction:
"But I clearly feel that our relationship has become much closer. Moreover, what she said to Qinglin didn't seem fake. We've known each other for so long, I should be able to see some of it, right?"

"Ah, silly boy, who says you can't put your feelings into disguise? Or, how many people can you fool if you don't put your feelings into disguise?"

Yao Lao sighed, his pale golden pupils staring at the slightly bewildered young man, and said slowly:
"The girl's personality has been affected by the erosion of her soul. She might not seem abnormal when facing others, but you are different. You are the only member of the opposite sex she has close contact with. She may not know how to get along with you at all."

"Then why didn't we see Ruoruo behave like this before?" Xiao Yan asked.

"When she's alone with you, she naturally doesn't have to worry too much. But now that you're here, and the people in the mercenary group have a very close relationship with you, of course, it's a different matter."

"The girl really doesn't care what others think, but she will deliberately guide others to form a certain opinion of her."

"I guess it's to achieve some purpose."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan recalled the scene when he flatly refused Ruoruo's invitation to come to Shimo City. He also recalled the uncharacteristically affectionate way his elder and second brothers addressed him not long ago. He no longer had any hope in his heart.

Seeing the young man's disappointment, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"That little girl named Qinglin happens to be on good terms with you. If you're interested, you might as well take a look at her abilities. Perhaps you'll be able to understand Ruoruo's intentions."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he replied softly:

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

　The progress may be a bit slow, I will make appropriate adjustments and try to update more for everyone as compensation, sorry.

　　There will be more chapters later. This chapter is combined into one.
