Very Interesting
Facing Fang Yuan’s immense killing intent, Bai Ning Bing smiles, asks why she should run, and says she will instead join Shadow Sect. Fang Yuan frowns, since her Bai Xiang killer move can free her from almost any alliance agreement. Alliance agreements are information path dao marks, and Bai Xiang lets her mutilate herself to remove them. She asks whether that is not more exciting, and he answers that he is not her. She admires his truly exciting life. The other Shadow Sect members want to save Spectral Soul Demon Venerable or feel fear, panic or immense pressure. ch. 1641
Fang Yuan stays silent, recalling that she is a true demon who would give up anything, even her life, for excitement. She is very similar to him, the same kind with a different goal. His killing intent fades, since it was only a facade and her threat to him is very low. He recalls that she once gave up her life to save him and asked him to live in her place. He wonders whether he would have made the same choice. ch. 1641
Bai Ning Bing laughs and offers all of Bai Xiang grotto-heaven’s resources, but she wants the Gu worms from Bai Xiang’s true inheritance. Her reason for joining Shadow Sect is that facing Heavenly Court is truly exciting. She names three outcomes: Heavenly Court kills him, he defeats or destroys it, or the two deadlock with losses on both sides. In the third, she stays beside him and might emerge as victor with him and Heavenly Court as her stepping stones. ch. 1641
Fang Yuan coldly says that killing her now would end all three outcomes. She frowns but accepts his choice if he kills her. Fang Yuan laughs that she is very interesting, because she did not beg for mercy and exposed her own threat instead. He has weighed the costs and needs all the strength he can get to face Heavenly Court and obtain Red Lotus’ true inheritance. He regards her as a blade that can harm its holder, but throwing it away would be stupid, and it is up to him to prevent her betrayal. ch. 1641
He tells her that he admires her and will not kill her now. She is to follow him and witness his failure or success, and if he dies at her hands, that will be quite a show. First she must display her worth by bringing him the heads of Qi clan’s Gu Immortals and their Qi Sea grotto-heaven. ch. 1641
