Chapter 58: What is Sentiment?

  A silver coin fell to the ground, a dark shadow suddenly rose, and then condensed into a human figure.

  "Obey: The Order of Balance!" A familiar figure emerged from the shadows.

  "What is this!?" The female corpse felt the pressure of the powerful Dou Qi and hastily let go of Lei Ga, retreating several steps in a row.

  Lei heavily fell to the ground, but a hint of a relieved smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "So it was the boss..."

  A dark shadow flashed through the woman's body, and Xie Pu, the owner of the Crow Wine House, suddenly appeared behind her. His hands were crossed, and the two lightning-like scars on his arms transformed into two strangely-shaped daggers. A flash of silver light flickered and then disappeared, reverting back to their original scarred state.

  Lega didn't even have time to see Shep's action, the battle was already over. The female corpse let out a mournful cry, and then her beautiful head rolled to the ground, black blood gushing from the neat neck stump, splashing everywhere.

  At the moment of the fall, the rotten air that permeated the cemetery also began to dissipate, and fine raindrops fell from the accumulated rain clouds, washing away the filth on the ground.

  The female corpse had lost the ability to fight, but the dark heart was still throbbing in her chest cavity. She stretched out her arms and felt around in the rain curtain, stumbling towards the depths of the cemetery.

  "Oh no, my waist..."

  Xie Pu painfully patted his waist and back, turned his head to see the headless female corpse stretching out her hand towards him, and couldn't help but jump in fright. "Damn! What the hell is this?"

  This slightly exaggerated terrified expression is vivid and lifelike, it's hard to imagine that he is a top assassin who can instantly kill hero-level undead.

  "Give it to me, boss."

  Lei Ga struggled to prop up his body, picked up the black giant sword, wiped off the rainwater on it, and walked step by step towards the female corpse. "This matter began with me, and will end with me."

  He kicked the headless female corpse in the back, flipping her over onto the wet ground, where mud and rainwater stuck to her body, making her look even more disgusting and ugly.

  Lei Ga raised his black giant sword high in the rain, the tip of the sword pointing at the dark heart of the female corpse.

  The female corpse struggled in the mud for a moment, without resisting or getting up, but mechanically continued to crawl forward.

  The rain grew heavier, and the rainwater had already soaked Leiga's body. A drop of water slid down from his head, passed through his eyebrows, nose bridge, and lingered on the tip of his nose for a moment before falling onto the ground beneath his feet. His eyes remained fixed on the headless female corpse, holding his sword for a long time, yet he still didn't make a move.

  "What's taking you so long?"

  Xie Pu furrowed his brow in the rain, looking at his beloved apprentice with a puzzled expression, and said in a serious tone: "A compassionate heart is the most fatal weakness."

  "Just wait a bit longer..."

  Lei slowly lowered his massive black sword, a rare look of sadness appearing on his calm face. "Let them... die together then."

  Xie Pu only then noticed that in the direction the headless female corpse was crawling, there was another corpse lying. The female corpse crawled with effort, not to escape, but to be with her lover. He let out a faint sigh and said with emotion: "I didn't expect, Xu Ling Tian's ending would be like this. Being eaten by his beloved woman, I don't know if it's a kind of happiness or a kind of retribution."

  One by one, the past flashed through Leiga's mind, he fell silent for a moment, and replied softly: "All of them."

  Shep's question didn't really need an answer, but Rega couldn't help blurting it out anyway.

  The headless female corpse dragged a long black blood stain, and with great difficulty crawled to the side of Xu Lingtian's corpse, grasped Xu Lingtian's hand tightly, and relaxed her body calmly.

  The rain fell mercilessly on them, and also on Lega's body.

  Lei Ga stepped beside the female corpse and raised his black giant sword once again.

  "Rest in peace, don't wake up again, so you can be together forever."

  A black giant sword thrusts into the heart of darkness, heartbeat stops, filthy black blood recedes, and evil ends.

  Lei Ga drew out a black giant sword, and put the bodies of Xu Lingtian and Yin Lisha together into the coffin, then buried them in the grave, covered with yellow earth, and set up a tombstone.

  "Let's go."

  Shep came up behind him, "You've done everything you're supposed to do."

  "There is still one thing left undone."

  Lei Ga used a black giant sword to scrape off the original epitaph on the tombstone, re-engraved Xu Lingtian and Yin Lisha's names, and added a new epitaph behind: Their love continues underground.

  The two apples from the day before were still there, and fortunately had not been contaminated by the dark water. Rega rearranged them on top of the tombstone, mourned for a moment, then turned around to follow Shep away.

  Although things have come to an end, Leiga's heart did not feel a hint of joy.

  His neck was aching, as if the female corpse's claws were still pinched on his throat. Thinking of himself being unable to resist, Rega's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.

  "I'm really too weak..."

  Xie Pu's expression faltered for a moment before he forced a heartless smile, "Yes, compared to that heroic undead female corpse, you're indeed too weak."

  Lei Ga shook his head in distress, shaking off the rainwater on his cheek, and firmly said to Xie Pu: "Boss, please train me. I don't want to rely on tossing coins for the rest of my life. I want to learn that move you just used..."

  Xie Pu made a gesture, interrupting Le Ga's words. "Don't be in such a hurry to say these things, let me ask you first, did you get the Moon Demon Grass?"

  Got it.

  Lei Ga opened the package, and a bright light like the moon immediately shone out from the gap.

  "Don't take it out!"

  Xie Pu hastily held onto the package, "Something so important can't be damaged, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first - do you know which direction Xu Lingtian's house is in?"

  "I know."

  Lei Ga originally had many questions to ask, such as about the man who could turn into a big bird, and also about the strange performance of the black giant sword. However, seeing Xie Pu's anxious expression, he temporarily put these questions aside, packed up his things, and led Xie Pu towards Xu Ling Tian's stone house.

  After pushing open the iron gate and walking into the courtyard, Lei pointed to the alchemy laboratory on the right side and said: "Let's go there to avoid the rain first."

  Two people pushed open the black canopy and walked in, Leiga shook off the rain from his body, tiredly sat down in a chair, while Xie Pu was enthusiastically visiting Xu Lingtian's alchemy laboratory.

  "Hmm? There's a letter here."

  Xie Pu quickly walked up to the platform, and as the magical candlelight unfolded the letter, he roughly scanned it with his eyes, which immediately lit up. "It's written for you."

  "Written for me?" Leiga blinked in confusion.

  Xie Pu cleared his throat and read out the contents of the letter.

  "Dear Lega, if you are reading this letter, it means my mistake has been terminated. I was originally kind-hearted, but things in the world are unpredictable. Thank you for everything you have done for me and Yurisa, unfortunately, we couldn't become real friends. I shamelessly took advantage of you to complete many tasks that were almost impossible to accomplish, and you did them all exceptionally well. But actually, among these tasks, what satisfied me the most was the first one: presenting the apple to Yurisa."

  "After becoming powerful, people often don't want to do seemingly trivial things and will even think of giving up when there's no reward, but you didn't. You keep your promises, have a strong will and unshakeable determination, as well as an extraordinary sense of responsibility, which is more excellent than any 10th-tier warrior or even some named heroes from the national guild."

  "I have nothing to repay you with, I am willing to give away all the inheritance under my name to you, hoping to make a small contribution to help you become a true legend."

  "My estate includes this house and everything in it that can be moved, but I wish you to seal up the house permanently after removing the things."

  "The medicinal materials and equipment in the alchemy lab are all top-notch, and I've already prepared some potions that will aid you in your cultivation. The room on the left is a storage room, which contains various books and miscellaneous items; I'm afraid you'll have to sort through them yourself, as I don't have time to categorize them for you."

  "Of course, if you don't need any of these things, you can sell them all for money. I think your boss must know their value, and the money from selling them will instantly make you a rich and powerful person."

  "Finally, I would like to express my gratitude once again. Sincerely, Alchemist Master, Xu Lingtian."

  Xie Pu finished reading and let out a short sigh of relief. A sly expression immediately appeared on his face, "Haha, I've made a fortune!"

  Lei Ga looked around the alchemy laboratory and muttered: "So these things, he had long been prepared to give them to me..."

  "Go!"

  Shep yanked Reg from his chair, "Go check the storage room for any valuable treasures!"

  Lei didn't have any mood, but couldn't bear to dampen Xie Pu's enthusiasm, so he got up and followed him to the storage room.

  As soon as he entered the house, he was stunned. The four walls were all lined with books, totaling three to four hundred volumes. Underneath the bookshelves were rows of storage boxes, each emitting a magical blue glow.

  Xie Pu squatted in front of the largest treasure chest, excitedly rummaging through it. Leiga, on the other hand, was shocked and looked up with his head raised, stretching out his hand to lightly touch one ancient book after another.

  "This thing isn't great, but it's working out okay for you."

  Xie Pu Chao Lei Jia still came with something, Lei Jia subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and found that the object was soft and flexible like leather. He lowered his head to take a closer look, and it turned out to be a brand new package. The package didn't seem big, but its capacity was three times larger than what he was currently wearing.

  "This should be worth quite a bit of money, right?"

  Lei Ga suddenly felt ashamed, with only a fourth-stage Dou Qi strength, he was not worthy of using such good equipment.

  "Think back to when I... never mind, all I'm saying is that this thing is pretty mediocre, any high-end tailor can make something like it, but it's better than that tattered pouch on you, so just replace it."

  Lei Ga nodded, took off the old cloth package from his body, put everything into a new leather package. The new package not only occupied less space but also felt light as if it were nothing, Lei Ga suddenly felt much lighter on his body.

  "This thing can be sold, this one too, and this one..."

  Xie Pu rummaged through the treasure chest and threw all the useless things onto the ground.

  "Ah ha, there's actually an electric attribute armor!"
