Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1333 - 764: Be Human or Be a Witch?

Sui Yi’s words left Yan Jingan silent for a while before she slowly responded: "Do you know how many Void-breaking Level exist in this world?"

Sui Yi naturally couldn’t answer.

"None"

Sui Yi was shocked.

"Year after year, day after day, everyone living in this world is automatically stripped of a large portion of their Inner Strength periodically. The longer one lives here, the more Inner Strength is taken away... The mightiest of the few original Void-breakers, though possessing powerful Void-breaking physiques, are thus the most pitiable. Their Physique can remain youthful, but they can only cultivate endlessly for others’ use... Their Cultivation Level regresses... As time goes by, they cannot maintain this balance, watching themselves transform from the strongest Void-breaker into a pitiful weakling... The original ones all committed suicide, throwing their bodies into the Lost Corpse Valley, where day and night, the valley echoes with the unwillingness and resentment of those masters... It’s also filled with loss, hence this place is called the Lost Lands."

Yan Jingan’s speech was calm and composed, as if speaking about someone else’s affairs, sounding gentle and pleasant.

Yet the content was quite frightening.

The Lost Lands, turns out it’s because of this...

Sui Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "A pity"

The other seemed to have taken a sip of tea, initially thought would say no more, but then heard.

"There’s nothing to pity."

This sentence seemed too indifferent.

The heavens casually spun a great lie, causing the ambitions of heroes to crumble instantly.

Yet this woman said there’s nothing to pity.

Sui Yi ultimately didn’t ask anything more, simply sat on the bed, eyes closed, adjusting her breath.

Her situation now is quite awkward.

She had already lost the human Life Aura, yet she was not a true Witch....

That person said she had lost the most important thing of a Witch.

Indeed, she had already lost it.

Neither human nor Witch, she could continue to survive, but regaining power was rather awkward.

Rebuild Inner Strength?

Or cultivate as a Witch?

Inside Ghost Gate Pass, she could calculate her path forward, also reckoning the difficulties she faced at this moment.

Back then, her deadline was roughly three days.

Decide within three days.

Living as a blind person wasn’t too difficult for Sui Yi, nor did living with Yan Jingan make her feel uncomfortable. Later, when she wiped her body or applied medicine, the other never appeared again, seeming to have forgotten her.

But every meal, she prepared a portion for her—usually soup, some herbal meat tonic, some for blood replenishment, some for boosting energy...

In fact, each time she drank a full bowl.

And the other just sat opposite... eating fruits.

Sui Yi could hear the faint sound of eating fruits.

Three meals of tonic soup a day, drank six servings in succession, finally breaking the silence.

"Can’t drink anymore?"

"Hmm?.... No"

After all, it was a well-intentioned medicinal soup from the other person. No matter how bad it tasted, she had to drink it.

Sui Yi wasn’t an ungrateful person.

"I took a sip, it tastes terrible."

"Well... it’s alright"

Sui Yi was also polite.

"Want to eat a fruit, it’s quite sweet...."

"Um.... okay"

"But you can’t eat it"

"..."

Always cold and domineering or independent, Mr. Sui finally experienced the feeling of a tiger fallen to flatland being bullied by a dog.

Alright, especially as the other is not a dog.

But a terrifyingly powerful Master, with an unusually different temperament, relaxed in conversation, wise and gentle, yet guarding his own space, not stepping into yours, nor letting you advance a bit.

Vaguely similar to her own temperament.

However, the other was probably more poised, very steady, almost unmoved, also more leisurely.

In short, she was far more ruthless than Sui Yi.

Sui Yi slowly drank the oily tonic soup away, rubbing her palm on the table, wanted to pick up a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, suddenly hand was grasped, palm opened, now held a cool fruit.

"From now on, finish a bowl, you get a fruit...."

Sui Yi’s inner feeling was complex.... Is this Natasha’s feeling back then? Is this karma?

But the other seemed not so ruthless.

Maybe simply bored, wanted to tease her?

"Um... thank you"

The other seemed to smile.

Left.

Sui Yi rose to wash the dishes.

Except for being "bullied" a bit by the other’s rather unique style, Sui Yi was actually quite at peace here. This person often was not home, probably went up the mountain to pick fruits or cultivate, if at home, either reading or writing, painting...
