Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 191 Thoughts
"give me?"

Lin Xiufeng knew he was willful and impulsive, but he never expected him to be this impulsive.

He said dismissively and stubbornly:
"What's wrong? You gave me the King of Snakehead Fish, and I gave you the Yinglong. Is there a problem?"

Lin Xiufeng said with a smile, "I appreciate the beauty's kindness, I'm so touched."

"Wait until next time, send it to me next time."

“Yinglong was something you risked your life for. I’ll make it into a Soul Bead for you to use. You’ll be more confident next time you encounter a giant mutated beast in the sea.”

These words also reflected Fang Yuan's thoughts; a willful person always seems to be diving deep into the ocean.

What if we encounter a powerful mutated beast like Yinglong again, and there's no time to call for help or escape?
Are we going to gamble with our lives and our luck again?
He urged her on in a spoiled and unhappy manner:

"Why are you being so long-winded? I'm giving you a gift! Why are you making excuses?"

Fang Yuan quickly tried to persuade him:

"The captain is right. With an additional Yinglong, you'll be much safer in the deep sea in the future, and it will be easier to hunt giant ones and deliver them to the captain."

"Shut up!" Renxing glared at Fang Yuan, then turned to Lin Xiufeng, her voice filled with anger.

"Stop nagging! You can't even give me a gift? Are you afraid Lin Qiru will be unhappy?"

"I didn't," Lin Qiru quickly denied, adding, "Everyone just doesn't want you to encounter such danger again."

He said dismissively and stubbornly:
"How many Yinglongs do I have to encounter? Besides! I killed the Yinglong this time, why would I be afraid next time?"

Lin Xiufeng said gently, "Don't be angry, beautiful lady. I was just concerned about you. Of course I like the gift!"

"If you hunt another one and send it to me, I'll definitely kneel down and beg your knees in gratitude!"

He retorted angrily, "Take it or leave it! If you don't want it, I'll throw the Soul Pearl into the deep sea! Humph!"

She said this in a huff and walked away angrily. Fang Yuan hurriedly chased after her, but she yelled at him to leave.

Lin Qiru tugged at Lin Xiufei's arm, trying to persuade him:

"This is a willful gesture; she doesn't like being rejected."

Fang Yuan then turned around and waved, signaling him to chase after them.

Lin Xiufeng sighed, patted his face, put on a smile, and ran after Renxing, blocking his way. He said with a grin:
"Why are you so angry, beautiful lady!"

I love this gift so much!

"Yinglong! The only dragon with wings!"

"We are all descendants of the dragon!"

"Once this Soul Bead is made, it'll be absolutely amazing!"

"Since this capricious beauty has put in such a good deed, I'll kneel down and beg for your forgiveness!"

As Lin Xiufeng spoke, she knelt down on one knee, making a gesture as if to hug him.

Being willful is not to be feared; not only did he not dodge, but he also stretched his leg forward and said with a smile:
"Hug me! Hug me if you're not afraid Lin Qiru will beat you to death!"

Lin Xiufeng turned her head and looked at him, feigning fear, and said:
"She wouldn't have the heart to kill me, I'm afraid she'll kill you."

"Tch—look at your pathetic self!" Renxing said with a look of disdain.

"My lack of ambition isn't a recent development," Lin Xiufeng said casually as he stood up, then suddenly became serious.

Thank you, thank you for the gift.

He said with a stern face, though he was being willful:

"I call it a gift! Actually, it's just to repay the favor you, King Winnower, so we're even now!"

"We're all family here. Who can really calculate what's owed?"

She bit her lip stubbornly and said:
"Whatever you think, I don't owe you anything anymore. How you use the King of Snakeheads is none of your business!"

Lin Xiufeng quickly agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, whatever this capricious beauty says is right today!"

He retorted stubbornly, "What do you mean? Just today?"

"How about tomorrow too?" Lin Xiufeng tried to add another day of special treatment.

"Only one more day?" Renxing was very dissatisfied.

"Then, for the next month, whatever this capricious beauty says will be right!"

Lin Xiufeng's sudden display of generosity and capriciousness even made him somewhat doubtful.
"You're really that good?" "Am I a man of my word?" Lin Xiufeng countered.

"..." Renxing felt something was off, but he knew Lin Xiufeng was a man of his word; he just liked to play tricks. "How long will you stay at the base?"

"It's not finalized yet," Lin Xiufeng said, avoiding a definitive answer.

Ren Xing stared intently at Lin Xiufeng with calm eyes:
"Oh, what about those plans that aren't yet definite?"

"Hey, the day after tomorrow." Lin Xiufeng knew that Renxing had seen through him, so he told the truth.

"Lin Xiufeng! You bastard!" The capricious man raised his hand to hit him, but Lin Xiufeng quickly ran away.

Seeing that Renxing was chasing after him, he hid behind Lin Qiru and said angrily:

"What do you mean, a month! He's running away the day after tomorrow! You big liar!"

"You can't hit me, you can't hit me!" Lin Xiufeng deliberately made a face to provoke him, and said with a smile, "You can't do anything to me now, can you? Otherwise, why don't you take back your gift?"

"Tch—" she said willfully, turning and walking away on her own.

Lin Xiufeng watched the willful figure disappear into the distance, smiled helplessly, and shouted:
"I really like the gift. When I hunt down a powerful one in the future, I'll give it to you too."

He didn't turn around or reply, but a smile was on his face.

She wanted to give Yinglong to Lin Xiufeng, because she felt it was meaningful because she had obtained it after a near-death experience.

Lin Qiru is too good; she feels she has no one to compare with or compete with.

Yinglong's soul pearl is probably a gift that Lin Xiufeng remembers about her and that has lasting significance.

If Lin Xiufeng were to give her a powerful Soul Bead in the future because of this, that would be even better.

At that time, she will also have a gift from Lin Xiufeng by her side.

When she impulsively walked out of the crater, she encountered her guards, who were all curious and wanted to ask her about Yinglong.

But seeing her expression, which clearly showed she was immersed in her own world and refused to be disturbed, no one dared to ask.

It wasn't until Fang Yuan came out that the guards started asking about the situation.

It's quite simple: he impulsively commanded the King of Snake Fish, narrowly escaping death to kill the Yinglong.

Fang Yuan, acting on behalf of his willful nature, tried to win people's hearts by saying:
"The capricious minister said we're having dragon meat tonight."

He knew that willfulness would be willing, but he wouldn't have thought of it, and even if he had, he wouldn't have said it.

The guards were overjoyed, and the news spread like wildfire, reaching both the volcano base and the seaside base on the opposite shore.

Lin Xiufeng found the Soul Pearl inside Yinglong's heart.

Holding the Soul Bead, he hesitated for a moment.

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Lin Qiru asked, "You still want to give it back to Renxing?"

"There is actually a way to get her to accept it, but she would definitely explode."

"Tell her you can't use it, and let her try it, right?" Lin Qiru thought of Lin Xiufei's idea.

Obviously, doing this would be tantamount to refusing her good intentions from a willful perspective.

In Lin Qiru's view, it was more than just a matter of being angry for a moment.

Instead, they were deeply hurt.

“We all know that being willful requires the power of Yinglong.”

Lin Xiufeng hesitated, knowing that acting impulsively would lead to serious consequences.

Lin Qiru strongly advised against Lin Xiufeng doing that, and tried to persuade him:
"Since you're so willful and want to give me the Soul Bead that you risked your life for, you should accept it."

“Trickery is too hurtful. She is already very sensitive and particularly prone to being hurt.”

“You rejected her feelings, and she is reasonable; she knows that these things cannot be forced.”

"But you won't even accept a gift from her, as if you hate her and want to keep your distance."

"Even if you've been through so much together as comrades-in-arms, it's perfectly normal for you to exchange a gift like this."

Lin Xiufeng was also worried that this was not a good idea, but after hearing what Lin Qiru said, he stopped arguing and directly pressed Yinglong's soul pearl into the Zhongji acupoint on his abdomen.
