I still hope to see it!!!
"Faded One, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon."
Lin Huai looked at Marlenia's face, which had not yet been corrupted.
Her skin was as smooth and lustrous as jade, and her lips had a slight blush.
"What a pity that such a beautiful woman has suffered such a curse."
"Your thoughts seem a bit complicated, Faded One. What are you pitying?"
Then they heard Marlenia's questioning voice.
Lin Huai's heart skipped a beat.
"You can sense my thoughts?"
Marlenia paused for a moment, as if she were thinking.
"No, I'm not good at mental abilities."
"However, I can roughly sense what you're thinking even when you're not prepared."
Lin Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Marlenia couldn't perceive his specific thoughts.
Marlenia tilted her head slightly.
"You feel very relaxed right now. Faded One, did you do something bad?"
This mature woman's head tilt is quite adorable!
But upon hearing Marlenia's voice, she sensed her own thoughts.
Lin Huai's face stiffened.
Empty your mind, empty your mind.
With a serious expression, she said, "Marinia, although we are now bound by life and death, I still need some personal space."
"From now on, you are not allowed to perceive my thoughts without my permission."
Marlene nodded, slightly puzzled.
"You're a strange fader."
"But I understand now, and I won't try to guess your thoughts anymore."
Lin Huai was finally completely relieved.
It seems I'll need to create a physical body later.
Otherwise, when you go to Wushan with other beauties in the future, there will be someone watching you.
Lin Huai looked at that exquisite figure, and it seemed quite stimulating to be looked at as well.
Let go of these outdated ideas.
Lin Huai sat cross-legged in front of Marlenia.
"My name is Lin Huai. You can call me by my name or Ah Huai if you want."
"Your name is a bit long, so I'll just call you 'Lianlian'."
"how?"
Marlenia said calmly, "It's just a name. You can decide for yourself."
Hearing this rather affectionate address...
Where Lin Huai couldn't see, Marlenia's ears turned slightly red.
Lin Huai seized the opportunity to raise a question:
"Isn't there a better way to deal with the crimson putrefaction within our bodies?"
"Can't we seal it off, or can we just remove it?"
Marlene's somewhat hollow voice rang out.
"It can be sealed away, but such a thing doesn't exist in this world."
Even the so-called "gods" of this world cannot solve this problem.
The mental space fell silent.
Marlenia's voice rang out again.
"When I was a child, my swordsmanship teacher used the intent of the sword to seal the crimson corruption within me."
"According to the division of this world, the understanding in this area can be roughly divided into subtlety, momentum, intention, and domain."
After comprehending the "Waterbird Dance," I believe I developed my own "sword intent" through the Flowing Water Sword Technique.
When Lin Huai heard the phrase "water birds dancing wildly," his body suddenly trembled.
It brought back some unpleasant memories.
He saw Marlene tilt her head again.
So cute!
Lin Huai looked perfectly normal.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some bad memories. You can continue."
"I speculate that as long as one comprehends the Flowing Water Sword Technique to the level of 'intent,' this level can completely suppress it before the Crimson fully erupts."
Lin Huai seemed to be deep in thought.
Thinking of Lianlian's second phase in the game, with its rampant swarms of corrupting butterflies, and its powerful yet somewhat erotic image.
"Unfortunately, before I comprehended the sword intent, the crimson within me had already erupted completely once."
I used that power again later.
Marlenia looked at Lin Huai, her tone very serious.
"Lin Huai, before you have your own understanding of the 'Flowing Water Sword Technique,' do not overuse the power of corruption."
When Lin Huai heard the phrase "Flowing Water Sword Technique," a sentence he had read in a strategy guide suddenly flashed through his mind.
"A door hinge that is frequently used will not rust, and flowing water will not stagnate?" (Actually, the reverse is more appropriate here.)
Marlenia's tone revealed a rare hint of surprise.
"I never imagined you were not only powerful in combat, but also so knowledgeable."
"It seems you'll grasp swordsmanship faster than I expected."
Lin Huai scratched his face.
I suddenly remembered that Lianlian's attacks in the game can also "drain blood".
Staring at Marlenia, his tone was expectant:
"What about your ability to drain my life force?"
"That's the effect of 'Great Rune,' which I have now, but you can't use it."
"The Great Rune is within me. When you summon me to fight in the future, you should be able to receive soul power back to you."
After sensing the surroundings, Marlenia responded to Lin Huai.
It seems like I've thought of something.
Marlenia said quickly, "Lin Huai, you died after me."
"Do you know that Michaela became a god?"
Lin Huai thought of Mitaen's abstract image of "Santiago".
Then he thought about how he had killed both the brother and sister.
He opened his mouth with a slightly awkward expression.
"Um... Mitah, no."
"Mikaela, we ran into him later."
"He successfully combined Monger's body with General Rataen's soul."
Recalling Mitaen's devastating fighting prowess, Lin Huai felt a pang of sadness.
"Then, combined with Michaela's own abilities, she becomes ridiculously strong."
"However, as you also know, two kings cannot exist in a border region."
"I defeated them after going through great hardships and with the help of forces from outside the world."
The trinity was so powerful that I had to join the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect to win.
Lin Huai felt Marlenia's aura suddenly sink.
They hurriedly tried to fix it.
"But he can't be considered your original brother anymore."
He noticed that Marlenia was looking at him again.
Lin Huai continued to try to salvage the situation.
"On his path to godhood, he kept discarding his physical body, and later even his 'love' was discarded."
"When he and Ratahn finally stepped through the 'Gate of God,' he was nothing but a faint spirit."
"The persona he 'loved' begged me to stop him from becoming a god."
That's why I...
Looking at Lin Huai's little eyes,
I sensed a hint of worry in his tone.
Marlene gave a fleeting smile.
"I know, brother, you've gone down the wrong path. It's not your fault."
"I just feel a little sorry that my brother didn't realize his dream."
"If my brother is reborn in another world, I hope he can break free from his curse of never growing up!"
Seeing that smile, Lin Huai didn't quite hear what Marlenia said.
"Try to think positively. We've been given a second chance at life, so let's do what we want to do."
How about experiencing a different life?
"I used to live to help my brother, but now that I've suddenly changed, I don't know what to do."
Lin Huai's eyes lit up.
"In that case, you shall live for me in this life and become my blade."
"You can say it later."
"I am Malenia. Blade of Lin Huai."! "
"How is it? How is it?"
Feeling Lin Huai's playful antics and the expectation in his tone.
"You're not qualified to make me Lin Huai's blade right now."
"Go for it! Let me see if you can show your prowess in this world again."
Seeing Lin Huai's exaggeratedly excited movements, I felt that my sadness was somewhat dispelled.
I thought of some of the prayers my brother Michaela had taught me.
Marlenia said again:
"I also know some of the Golden Law prayers, which Michaela taught me."
"You can try practicing these techniques to have more ways to deal with the enemy."
Hearing this can also teach you some prayer techniques.
Lin Huai really wanted to hug Marlene and kiss her.
In this world where original skills are scarce
These prayers can be used as self-created soul skills.
"You've almost finished refining those herbs; it's time for you to wake up."
"Remember to practice the flowing knife technique diligently."
"Once your mental strength makes another breakthrough, you will be able to enter this sea of spirit at any time."
This exchange not only yielded specific methods for dealing with scarlet corruption,
He also received several prayers that were equivalent to self-created soul skills.
Lin Huai smiled broadly: "Goodbye, Lianlian. I think our next meeting shouldn't be too far away."
"I hope so."
"goodbye."
