Chapter 263: Chapter 142: Honey, Say Something, Honey_2

Deep Sea’s composed and resolute face carried a hint of a smile as he calmly gazed at Uncle Tai.

Uncle Tai suddenly didn’t know what to say, mumbling, "I might be a bit drunk, I’ll rest first, you guys carry on, carry on."

Wang Jixuan:...

What did I call you here for!

Leaning back in his chair, Uncle Tai began to doze off, his old face redder than a few seconds before.

’Perhaps I should speak up myself.’

Wang Jixuan looked at Deep Sea, who, with his steadfast gaze and smiling expression, tried to give Wang Jixuan feedback.

"Deep Sea, you must prepare yourself mentally for this..."

"I’m fine, really, you don’t have to look at me like that."

Deep Sea sighed, his eyes striving to convey a sense of resignation as he said calmly:

"Our half-human mecha casualty rate has always been high. We’ve specifically trained in this self-destruct tactic because often, it’s the only way to expose a powerful Blade Beast’s weaknesses... it was agreed that if we had to use this tactic, I would go first and she would follow."

Deep Sea took a sip of an alcoholic beverage:

"She lied to me, and I mind that quite a bit."

"Actually... we had all agreed... if we could survive on the battlefield past the age of thirty-six, we would apply for a year’s leave. By then, we should have had our reproductive organs removed, but we could have asked to preserve our reproductive cells in advance for in vitro fertilization to conceive a child."

"We didn’t hope to take care of this child forever; we just wanted to be with him for a year, after which we’d be without regrets and apply to go to the fiercest battlefields, to gnaw on the toughest bones."

"It’s as if, for this child, we would carve out a new environment."

"Our civilization, our homeland, is already like this; we shouldn’t expect more..."

"Actually... I should have been the first to die... really... I’m older than her... How could I have been so weak? If only I had dodged the sweeping tail at that moment..."

Deep Sea’s tears suddenly broke through; his lips quivered non-stop as he tried hard not to bow his head but still couldn’t control himself. He covered his eyes with his mechanical arm, bowed his head, and sobbed continuously.

Wang Jixuan silently poured himself a drink and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing the scene, emotions too were stirred.

Wang Jixuan quietly waited beside him. After a few minutes, Deep Sea sighed, wiped away his tears, tilted his head back, and downed a whole glass of white liquor, his eyes a bit blank again.

"Deep Sea, how much do you know about spirit cultivators?"

"Spirit cultivators?" Deep Sea whispered, "Officially, I shouldn’t know, but I’ve overheard Ms. Wan and Lingtong discussing and got some information."

"I am now inheriting the civilization of spirit cultivators... you can understand it that way, though the truth might be more absurd."

Wang Jixuan directly communicated to Deep Sea through spiritual sense:

"I’m not just trying to comfort you; dealing with this requires a process of acceptance.

"But I think, you need to adapt quickly because I have another piece of grave news to tell you today."

Deep Sea said with a smile, "Just tell me straight; half-human mecha are not as fragile as you think."

"Still, it’s better to be steady; keep drinking, and don’t tell anyone other than the Commander.

"It’s okay to tell the Commander; I intend for him to know these things too."

Wang Jixuan poured another drink for Deep Sea and said through spiritual sense:

"In inheriting this civilization, I am also inheriting a segment of memories where I saw a powerful spirit cultivator, though much of the information I can’t reveal."

"This spirit cultivator lived in an organization that was eternally in spring. This organization, named Wangxian Valley, is one of the top organizations there."

"And it is righteous, as Wangxian Valley requires every member to feel the principles between Heaven and Earth, constantly improve oneself, and also help the strong and support the weak, saving people."

"Hmm?"

Deep Sea, somewhat confused, asked softly:

"So are you now Wang Zheng, or this spirit cultivator?"

Wang Jixuan was a bit distracted: "Actually both, but primarily Wang Zheng."

Deep Sea asked with concern: "Does this kind of thing make you somewhat stifled?"

"It does cause some melancholy, but not because of the ’I am not myself’ kind of issue; I don’t have such pretensions."

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue:

"What’s most distressing for me now is actually the fear of what lies ahead."

"Fear of Blade Beasts?"

"Blade Beasts aren’t worth a damn; according to various indications I’ve observed, Blade Beasts are very likely a manufactured puppet race."

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes, before him were majestic heavenly powers, the skies full of tribulation clouds, the Immortal Gate just ahead but unreachable, and the agony and despair of being a hair’s breadth away yet unable to endure.

He spoke telepathically:

"What I fear, actually, are certain rules.

"But, despite the fear, I will step by step approach this enemy again.

"Even if what waits for me is another failure, complete destruction, I still want to defeat it, surpass it, unrepentant until death."

Deep Sea couldn’t help but feel a deep respect, yet...

"Wasn’t today supposed to be my comfort session? How did it turn into a heartfelt session?"

Deep Sea, smiling, raised his glass:

"This glass is for my wife; I’ve decided to listen to her! If I live to forty and kill a King-level Blade Beast on my own, then I’ll find another partner!"

Wang Jixuan sipped from his glass.

Upon hearing this, he was somewhat shaken.

From a friend’s perspective, having Deep Sea move on from Red Snake was a good thing for both the current Deep Sea and Red Snake...

Suddenly!

Gulp—

Deep inside, Wang Jixuan suddenly heard the scolding of some older sister: "Fine, fine! It infuriates me! He’s actually going to find another! All men are pigs!"
