Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Chapter 397 Why aren't you surprised at all?

“You appeared before them yourself,” Wu Huiyuan said. “As for the rest, I don’t know anything, and you won’t get any information from me.”

"Is that so?" Ling Yi said dismissively, "Since you know that I took the initiative to appear in front of them, you should know that I used Huo Xin. If I can even use Huo Xin, do you think I wouldn't use the person behind you?"

Hearing Ling Yi say this, Wu Huiyuan's gaze towards Ling Yi became even colder: "Harming her will not do you any good."

After Wu Huiyuan finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

Ling Yi didn't chase after him: "He runs pretty fast."

After saying that, Ling Yi carried the Frosty Snow Beast to Ye Qingshuang, looked at her red eyes from crying, and sighed: "Why are you crying?"

"Is the fact that he is a member of the Origin Clan really that shocking and upsetting to you?"

Hearing Ling Yi say that, Ye Qingshuang sniffed and looked at Ling Yi: "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

“What’s so surprising?” Ling Yi said, “According to information obtained by the Sea God Kingdom, the Source Clan is everywhere. Not only in the Witch Clan, but there are also many Source Clan members on the Demon Clan’s side, however…”

Seeing that Ling Yi hesitated to speak, Ye Qingshuang pressed, "But what?"

Ling Yi sat down on the spot, pried open the mouth of the Frosty Winter Snow Beast, and grabbed the Ice Spirit Source.

Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang squatted down as well: "You still haven't answered me, but what?"

Ling Yi turned her head to look at her: "However, Wu Huiyuan's status in the Yuan Clan should not be low."

Ye Qingshuang thought Ling Yi was about to say something, but upon hearing this, she lowered her head and said, "I would rather he wasn't from the Origin Clan."

Ling Yi looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her, so she simply went about her own business.

Ling Yi forcibly pried open the mouth of the Frosty Snow Beast. Unable to resist, it could only watch helplessly as Ling Yi took away the Earth Ice Spirit Source hidden in its mouth.

Taking out the Earth Ice Spirit Source, Ling Yi casually tossed the snow beast away. The snow beast fell far away, got up, and bared its teeth and roared at Ling Yi.

Lingyi looked at it: "Do you want to be eaten by me like that demon?"

Upon hearing this, the snow beast immediately shut its mouth and stopped making noise.

Seeing this, Ye Qingshuang, who was feeling sad, complained to the snow beast: "You're a coward who's afraid of death."

Upon hearing Ye Qingshuang's words, the snow beast rolled its eyes at her and said in human language, "If you're not afraid of death, why did you walk through the tunnel I dug?"

Ye Qingshuang was surprised that the snow beast could speak, and upon hearing it, she forgot to refute it for a moment.

Ling Yi wasn't surprised. This was the Taiyuan Secret Realm, where the beasts were of a much higher level than those outside. It was impossible for them not to understand human speech; it was just a matter of whether they were willing to speak.

After the snow beast retorted to Ye Qingshuang, it looked at Ling Yi and said, "I am a magnanimous man and will not hold it against you. I will give you the Earth Ice Spirit Source. You must make good use of its abilities."

Ling Yi was about to absorb the Earth Ice Spirit Source when he heard this and looked at the Frosty Winter Snow Beast: "What did you just say?"

Snow Beast: "I've given you the Earth Ice Spirit Source."

Ling Yi: "The sentence before that."

The snow beast took two steps back: "I won't argue with you."

Ling Yi: "The sentence before that."

The snow beast continued to retreat: "You are magnanimous, sir."

Ling Yi looked at it with a half-smile: "Who's so magnanimous?"

The snow beast turned around and ran away as fast as it could. Once it was far away, it replied, "This great lord is magnanimous, what's wrong?"

Ling Yi sneered and didn't chase after it.

Ye Qingshuang, standing to the side, added fuel to the fire: "Ling Yi, that little snow beast provoked you, and you just let it go like that?"

"Still have the nerve to stir things up?" Ling Yi looked at Ye Qingshuang: "Aren't you sad anymore?"

Ye Qingshuang sighed: "How could I not be sad?"

“You’re right, I’m going to kill him no matter if he’s from the Origin Clan or not,” Ye Qingshuang said. “So there’s no need to dwell on it.”

"As long as you can figure it out, that's fine." Ling Yi said, "Since you're not sad anymore, help me protect the Dharma."

Ye Qingshuang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "You want to absorb the Earth Ice Spirit Source here?"

“Hmm.” Ling nodded: “This is the birthplace of the Ice Spirit Source, and the ice spirit energy here is very strong, so it’s the best place to absorb it.”

"Alright." Seeing that Ling Yi had made up her mind, Ye Qingshuang didn't say anything more: "Then you can absorb it with peace of mind, I will protect you."

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then enveloped the Earth Ice Spirit Source with his power and began to absorb it.

As Ling began to absorb the energy, Ye Qingshuang watched from the side. This place was the habitat of snow beasts, and no other beasts roamed around. Although it was called a guardian, it was actually not necessary.

With nothing outside to disturb her, Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi and, remembering what Ling Yi had said about the Yuan Clan having people everywhere, couldn't help but think of Wu Huiyuan again.

She had always thought that Wu Huiyuan was a spirit born from Wushan, since Wu Huiyuan's power was very similar to that of Wushan. Now it seems... it is the power of the Yuan Clan that is very similar to that of Wushan.

Wu Huiyuan said that the contamination of the mother tree was not his doing, and that the seeds of contamination had already been planted. Does this mean that the mother tree was contaminated before Wu Huiyuan appeared?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingshuang recalled Ling Yi saying that the Yuan Clan did all this for her, but whether in the past or now, she did not know Ling Yi's true identity.

Only Tian Yan knew Ling Yi's true identity, but unfortunately, Tian Yan had no intention of revealing it.

"boom"

Just as Ye Qingshuang was pondering something, a snowball flew over.

Although Ye Qingshuang was lost in thought, she was also paying attention to her surroundings. She noticed the snowball flying towards her the moment it arrived, raised her hand and unleashed a burst of power to send it flying. When she turned around, she saw the snow beast had gathered a pile of snowballs in front of it, preparing to attack her.

Ye Qingshuang: "..." How childish!

Although she thought so, since she had nothing else to do, Ye Qingshuang simply set up a barrier for Ling Yi, then grabbed a pile of snow, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it at the snow beast.

Seeing Ye Qing Shuang retaliate, the snow beast used both front paws to grab snowballs and throw them wildly, then immediately kneaded them after throwing them all.

The human and the beast started fighting in this childish way.

When she was tired of throwing things, Ye Qing Shuang stopped and looked at the snow beast: "If you're so unwilling to accept this, why did you run away just now?"

The snow beast snorted coldly: "I'm afraid of her, not you."

"You're afraid of her, yet you still provoke me?" Ye Qingshuang said, "Once she finishes absorbing the Earth Ice Spirit Source, I'll tell her and let her teach you a lesson."

“I’m not afraid,” the snow beast said. “If she hits me too hard, I’ll tell the divine bird.”

Hearing this, Ye Qingshuang was a little surprised and looked at the snow beast, asking, "You know her?"

The snow beast sighed: "I don't know her, but the Divine Bird that carries life informed us that if we didn't want to be roasted, we shouldn't provoke her. So, the snow beast didn't attack you along the way."

After hearing what the snow beast said, Ye Qingshuang said, "I don't believe it. If you really notified us, why did you attack us when you saw us?"

The snow beast said irritably, "You want to steal the Earth Ice Spirit Source that I'm guarding, why can't I attack?"

"Besides, my attack is just a measure," the snow beast said. "If I can beat her, I won't give her the Earth Ice Spirit Source; if I can't, I will."

Ye Qingshuang: "..." She's quite good at weighing things.
