Chapter 555: Chapter 419: Worse than Death_2

Just as Xingxiao was once again plunged into agony, Bai Hai Liu’s voice came through with a kind of temptation, intermittently echoing in his mind.

"Within your sea of consciousness, memories of Ren Fangfei persist across ages, don’t they? After all, in each lifetime you needed to be together, with your understanding of her seeping deep into your marrow over countless lifetimes, as thorough as your awareness of yourself."

"Just by taking over her physical body, you could immediately access Ren Fangfei’s battle strength from past lives and once again become an unrivaled powerhouse in the world."

"Moreover, by mending this last spiritual flaw, the future of your demonic spirit amalgamation might have the chance to achieve true completion, to fully master the fourth inheritance of Star Fighting Dao, the ultimate Divine Skills..."

"Or would you rather remain a dog forever, watching Lin Xing survive great calamities, watching Fang Fei bask in pleasure beneath other men?"

"No!" Sobs kept coming from the dog’s mouth as Xingxiao curled up in torment, "I don’t want to do such things..."

But the painful moans were now only the whimpers of a dog from his mouth, fueling Xingxiao’s heart to grow increasingly frenzied and furious, increasingly—painful!

Half a month passed, and when Bai Hai Liu once again stood before Xingxiao, he looked down at the emaciated dog on the brink of death with nothing but fury and frustration in his eyes.

"Useless!"

"Weren’t you supposed to accomplish great things?"

"And now you lie here like a dying dog, intent on succumbing to a silent death?"

Sensing the life gradually ebbing from the other, soon to die a dog’s death right here, the anger on Bai Hai Liu’s face grew ever more maniacal.

"Damn it, I won’t allow you to die like this!"

"Get up and see who this is!"

Xingxiao’s dog head was lifted by a strong hand, his weak eyes slowly opened, then abruptly widened the next moment.

Looking at the woman before him, he began to struggle violently, paws and hind legs twisting erratically, yet he could not break free from Bai Hai Liu’s grasp.

If to list the people Xingxiao least wanted to encounter at the moment, Lin Xing would certainly be on it.

He would rather die than have his nemesis witness his current state, akin to a pile of garbage.

But atop Lin Xing, there was another he desired even less to meet.

He absolutely did not want his dog form exposed before her, never wanted her to see him now, so abject and downtrodden.

"Fang... Fang Fei."

Seeing the beautiful woman before him, Xingxiao only wished to break free from Bai Hai Liu’s grip and find the darkest, least noticeable corner to hide.

But reality was contrary to his desires.

"Fang Fei, please hold this dog," Bai Hai Liu said.

The girl puzzledly took the dog, remarking with a bemused face, "What’s so special about this dog? Why does he seem to be trembling all the time?"

Bai Hai Liu sneered looking at Xingxiao, and slowly said, "This dog is no ordinary creature, guess what his true identity is?"

Xingxiao looked at Bai Hai Liu with an almost pleading gaze, his mouth constantly whining, as if genuinely seeking favor and grace like a real dog.

At this moment, even if treated like a dog by the other, he did not want his identity exposed.

"Heh heh," Bai Hai Liu snickered slightly and slowly said, "Actually, over these ages, I sometimes preserve others’ memories too."

"Some are for amusement, like plucking a lovely wildflower seen on the street at a whim."

"And others, because of someone’s plea."

"And you... Fang Fei, you once asked me to preserve some memories for you."

In the shocked gaze of Xingxiao, Bai Hai Liu’s palm gently pressed on the back of Ren Fangfei’s head.

In the next moment, as if awakening from a long dream, Ren Fangfei hesitantly glanced at her surroundings and slowly said, "I..."

Bai Hai Liu chuckled, "No hurry, take your time. I have already sent you some intel regarding the current situation into your mind."

In an instant, countless pieces of information bloomed in her mind, be it memories from past lifetimes or the current situation and intelligence from various parties.

Recollections of her emotions with Xingxiao through the cycles of reincarnation, Sword Maiden’s true identity as their daughter, the process of Lin Xing defeating Xingxiao and Sword Maiden one after another...

Under Xingxiao’s despairing gaze, Ren Fangfei’s look towards him gradually changed from unfamiliar to tender, to empathetic, making Xingxiao feel utterly disgraced, as if he was burning up in the scorching sun.

"Xingxiao."

Upon hearing her call, Xingxiao closed his eyes in fear, utterly unwilling to meet Ren Fangfei’s gaze.

"Xingxiao, I know you’re listening."

"Even if I were to live on, I could never avenge myself against that Lin Xing, could I?"

"My husband, my daughter (Sword Maiden), all trampled viciously by Lin Xing, utterly humiliated by him, do you want me to live alone in this world with such resentment?"

Xingxiao’s body trembled slightly, feeling her palm gently lifting his head.

"And Xingxiao, have you underestimated my feelings for you over the past few hundred years?"

"I know you’re ashamed to meet me in your current state."
