I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Shi Tuqin curled up even more, as if what she had just requested them to do was a trifling matter. Her eyes signaled that she no longer had anything to live for in this life and she shook the unending sorrow in her heart.

Everyone looked at her with compassion in their eyes without saying anything, only letting out a deep and long sigh.

Qin Manyun ’s lips were pressed together. She did not know what to say. What Shi Tuqin said was true—once one had become a hybrid from the Ministry ’s experiment, one would slowly become a wild beast with no more human consciousness, a wild beast that would consume everything in its path. There was no way to reverse the experiment, but this did not mean Qin Manyun could find the heart to accept her death.

That happened to be the spell ’s biggest disadvantage which the Ministry was trying to circumvent.

Currently, only the sound of Shi Tuqin ’s sobbing could be heard.

Suddenly, a voice calmly asked, ”Would you be satisfied if you were to die now? ”

The question caused Shi Tuqin to shake violently and raise her eyes to look at Li Nianfan. Her tear-streaked face was as beautiful as a flower covered with raindrops. She was like the little flower struggling against a thunderstorm—hopeless and at its last breath, about to fall and whither at any time.

She did not know who Li Nianfan was and was not interested in all the stories, but she had heard the rumors about his extraordinary powers and the respect he commanded. She averted her gaze and kept silent, not daring to keep eye contact with him.

Satisfied or not, it was not for her to choose. She had no other path to take.

”Your bonded demon sacrificed himself to save you. Don ’t you think you owe it to him to keep on living? ” asked Li Nianfan.

Shi Tuqin started sobbing again at the mention of her bonded demon. ”I should be the one in his place, not him! ”

Li Nianfan ’s heart softened at the sight of her sobbing, but it was because of true compassion he continued to counsel her. She was already miserable enough, he could not just watch her die.

”All of us, at one point in our lives, would feel like death is the only way out, but all this shall pass. You need to forget the past because it doesn ’t matter anymore. You always have the power to choose, which is what you should be doing now, ” said Li Nianfan.
