Chapter 248 Master~ (2K6, 4K short)
To be honest, Lin Yun originally had little interest in Xixi. She was just a supporting character who didn't get much attention in the original novel, so there wasn't much value in cultivating her.
Even though she is one of the Shrek Seven Devils, she can represent Shrek Academy to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.
But as Lin Yun said before, the value of this competition is basically zero. There are only a few Soul Emperors, not to mention the next competition where Soul Saints can even play a mahjong table.
In this competition, Chun Chun was there just to give Huo Gua his highlight moments, just to help him cheat for fun and to be his background.
Xixi is really unremarkable in Unrivaled Tang Sect, an era where everyone is using cheats, and if they don't, they're just passers-by. Even Xiaoxiao, the twin martial souls, can only play a supporting role in the later period.
But, there are always exceptions.
Her resentment towards Shrek successfully made Lin Yun take this minor female supporting role, who was not outstanding in the original novel, seriously, and he was willing to reach out to her and give her a chance.
Lin Yun, who was high above, extended his hand like alms, picked Xixi up from the dust, and gave her a bright future.
"Be...your...dog?" Xixi bit her lower lip tightly. How could such a proud girl be treated like this before? She couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of being humiliated, and her body was trembling slightly.
"Yes, be my dog." Lin Yun kept smiling and looked down at her meaningfully, but this smile seemed a little scary to many people.
"You are now in this state, what's the difference between you and a stray dog? A stray dog at least has a healthy body, but you can hardly even walk now. I am willing to give you a chance to regain your strength and take revenge on Shrek."
"In that case...what's wrong with being my dog?"
Looking into the girl's shameful and angry eyes, Lin Yun moved closer to her and whispered softly. He also placed his right hand on her head, playing with her hair and stroking her head gently like he was caressing a puppy.
Every word he whispered was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xixi's heart.
Completely destroyed her already broken psychological defenses.
Yes!
Is there really any difference between me and a lost dog now? If there is such an opportunity, I can have the power to overthrow Shrek and completely ignite my anger.
What's wrong with being a dog?
Xixi raised her head and looked at Lin Yun's face which always maintained a gentle smile. She felt his warm big hand covering her head, and cold tears slid down her cheeks.
"Can you really... give me the power to take revenge on Shrek?" Xixi's voice was not loud, but it contained unimaginable determination.
"Of course, you should be very interested in crawling back from hell and venting your anger and resentment, right?" Lin Yun grinned, raised the hand that was stroking Xixi's head, and placed it in front of her.
The choice has been given to you, now it’s your decision!
Looking at the big white hand in front of her, Xixi closed her eyes, completely discarded her self-esteem and pride, stretched out her only remaining left hand, and held Lin Yun's hand.
"Ha...hahahaha..." Xixi held Lin Yun's hand, feeling the warmth and strength from his palm, and laughed out loud, her laughter was even a little hysterical.
She raised her head, looked into Lin Yun's eyes, and said word by word: "Then, there is only one answer. I will... be loyal to you!"
Lin Yun's smile became brighter.
Hehehe, very good, another one has been instigated to rebel. I’m really looking forward to seeing Xixi killing people in Shrek!
Why does this conversation feel a bit weird?
The Shadow Leopard King beside him had a strange look in his eyes. He tilted his head to glance at Lin Yun, whose smile was becoming more and more weird, and then looked at the female human on the ground who had one hand and one foot broken but whose face was full of submissiveness and submission.
Leopard feels that his CPU has burned out.
"Humans...are really interesting?" The Shadow Leopard King held it in for a long time and only managed to say this.
At this time, Lin Yun had already picked up Xixi from the ground, turned over and jumped onto the Shadow Leopard King, with Xixi sitting in his arms.
"Leopard, let's stop playing and go back. Send me back to the Lake of Life!" Lin Yun reached out and patted the Shadow Leopard King's head, and spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Shadow Leopard King nodded in response, squatted slightly, and then turned into a purple afterimage, taking Lin Yun and Xixi with him and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Xixi, who was held in Lin Yun's arms, felt his warmth and heartbeat, and finally realized that she was not dead. She was just found and saved by Lin Yun when she was about to die.
She was alive, and Lin Yun was also alive. But so what?
Does it matter whether she is alive or dead? Is there really any difference between how she looked before and how she is now dead?
Xixi felt like she had died several times. She died once when she came out of the Death Hand Bandits' cave, she died once when she saw that one of her hands and feet was broken, she died once when she was kicked out of Shrek Academy, and she died again before she was rescued by Lin Yun.
Countless psychological blows have caused great changes in Xixi's psychology.
After all, she was just a girl under 20 years old, not to mention that she was once a talented soul master with a smooth journey and a favored daughter of heaven.
The successive blows from reality, coupled with Lin Yun's words that were full of guidance and suggestion but actually gave her a ray of light, made Xixi feel that she could no longer live without Lin Yun, without even the underlying logic of the Love Continent acting on her.
He is my salvation!
Xixi, nestling in Lin Yun's arms, kept her head held high, silently looking at Lin Yun's profile, her eyes gentle and blurred.
"If you can really give me a new life, from now on, my life will be yours..."
Emmm...
I can only say, Love Continent, keep performing steadily!
But to be honest, Xixi's eyes were almost drawing lines, which really made Lin Yun a little overwhelmed. The tip of his shoe was so embarrassed that it almost drew a picture of the Qingming Festival on the belly of the Shadow Leopard King.
With that expression on your face, you’d better wait until I reconnect your hands and feet before you look at me like that again!
With your current appearance...
It's really impossible to move the stone, and it's completely impossible to move it at all.
Under Lin Yun's secret urging, the Shadow Leopard King was also constantly speeding up, and returned to the Lake of Life in almost only one-third of the time it originally took to get here.
"Okay, go back. If I need you in the future, I will call you." Lin Yun jumped off the back of the Shadow Leopard King holding Xixi, walked towards the Lake of Life, and said to it without looking back.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Shadow Leopard King leaned forward slightly and responded respectfully, then left quietly without making any sound.
Then, Lin Yun lowered his head and looked into Xixi's eyes, which were about to become thread-like.
"?"
Lin Yun's expression twisted slightly, and he admitted that he would need to be more cautious when using this kind of psychological suggestion and dog training method in Douluo Continent in the future, because he might just be trying it out, but the people he was experimenting on were serious!
This was the case with Ma Xiaotao back then, and it is also the case with Xixi now.
Is this... the Love Continent? !
Lin Yun: Great, I’m starting to understand everything!
"Okay, now let's talk about how to help you heal your arms and legs." Lin Yun smiled slightly and helped Xixi sit on a stone beside the Lake of Life.
No matter what, Lin Yun was still very satisfied with Xixi's attitude. Being in love was not without disadvantages. At least when she set her heart on you, she would really dare to make the whole world her enemy.
At least he's not an ungrateful person and won't betray you.
"I'll listen to you, Master~" Xixi said with a smile. Her tone was extremely natural. There was no sense of reluctance at all. Instead, it gave a feeling of flirting between lovers.
Lin Yun's smile froze, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
"what?"
"You look very confused, Master~" Xixi maintained that soft girl voice with a little clip, with a naughty expression, "Didn't you ask me to be your dog? I agree, you are my master from now on~"
"6." Lin Yun silently gave a thumbs up.
Although he was the common leader of the soul beasts, the soul beasts all called him Lord. Ma Xiaotao had never called him Master. It was Xixi who was the first to call him this strange name.
It's really a bit confusing.
But... it's still quite exhilarating, full of a sense of accomplishment and conquest.
Yosi, the needle doesn’t poke!
