I'm in the world of Xianjian

Chapter 145 Zhao Linger Awakens (Part 1)

Lin Shen heard someone calling him and turned around to see that it was Grandma Shenggu. Lin Shen said, "Grandma, you haven't slept yet?"

The Saint Lady said, "You are the same. What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Lin Shen first hummed, then said, "Mother-in-law, I was thinking about the battle I'm going to face later."

"Moon Worshiper?"

"Yes, I came to this world to change my fate. Yueru's fate has already changed, but Ling'er... I'm not sure either.

Because the opponent still has the trump card of Water Monster, I need to be prepared for the worst battle.

In fact, this is also the reason why I don’t want Miss Jiang to take risks, because I can’t guarantee that I can get away with it safely.

She had nothing to do with this matter, so there was no need for her to sacrifice her life to repay me for saving her life."

What Lin Shen didn't know at this time was that Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu and Jiang Waner were eavesdropping on their conversation not far away.

Zhao Linger sighed and said, "Brother Anos is still the same. Although he does it for our own good, he always leaves the most dangerous things for himself."

Jiang Wan'er said, "No wonder before I came here, my benefactor hinted that he wanted me to stay in Shushan. So this is what happened."

Lin Shen continued, "If I were to fight the Moon Worshiper and the Water Demon Beast alone, I wouldn't be afraid. But as you know, the Water Demon Beast has a special ability that allows it to be resurrected infinitely when it encounters water."

According to the original situation, the Moon Worshiper obtained Nuwa's blood and forcibly merged with the water monster, becoming immortal. It would be difficult to destroy such an enemy.

The Saint said, "Anos, I don't think you need to put so much pressure on yourself.

Isn’t that what happened to Miss Lin? Before entering the Demon Locking Tower, weren’t you always worried about her safety and even broke into the Demon Locking Tower alone?

But in the end, Miss Lin was safe and sound."

Lin Shen said, "That's different. It's about the Demon Locking Tower. That's because there are no such unsolvable enemies in the tower.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the water monster, you probably have to make use of its ability to be reborn when it encounters water, and you have to eliminate the problem once and for all.

Otherwise, we would have to sacrifice a descendant of Nuwa at every turn, which would be unacceptable."

The Saint Lady said, "I hope you can really change the princess' fate. But this won't be easy. The fate of the Nuwa clan is not so easy to break."

Lin Shen said, "All we can do now is accumulate strength. After Ling'er awakens, I plan to take them to the Fire Qilin Cave to get the Fire Spirit Pearl, and then go to the Trial Cave.

There is an opportunity for Ling'er there, and there is also a sword that I need to get."

The Saint Lady asked, "Sword?"

Lin Shen said, "I need to collect a few swords now. I've already got five, and I still need three. I know there's one in the Trial Cave."

The Saint Lady said, “Now that you mention it, I seem to remember something.

Two years ago, a sword fell into the Trial Cave, and the poisonous creatures there became more aggressive than before. The number of golems also began to decrease.

Lin Shen complained in his heart: Actually, if the Saint Lady didn’t mention the puppet worms, I would feel better.

Seeing that Lin Shen didn't say anything, the Saint Lady said, "Anos, the road ahead is difficult. Do what you think you should do. I'm going back to rest."

Lin Shen said, "Good night, Saint Aunt."

After saying that, the Saint Lady returned to the wooden house. Lin Shen wanted to play some music, but was afraid of disturbing the people in the house.

So he took a quick step, twisted his waist, and jumped onto the branch of a large tree. He took out his phone and played "The Funeral Song of the Ming Dynasty" (the Qingyi version of "Half a Lifelong Life"; because in the animation about Xia Ren traveling through the Ming Dynasty, this song plays every time someone in the Zhu family dies, hence the nickname).

As the lyrics go on, "I sigh for my fleeting life and my beloved ones, who have come and gone for so many years, who will write about the regrets of half a lifetime, only passers-by remain in the world..." Lin Shen looked into the distance, feeling very uncomfortable, with a few hot tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Wan'er asked, "What happened to my benefactor? What was that iron box he just took out?"

Zhao Linger said, "That's a device he uses to store music. He showed it to me when we were on Xianling Island."

Anu said, "I remember that he also played music at Han Yixian's house in Baihe Village."

Lin Yueru said, "Anos is under a lot of pressure. He is always afraid that he can't change his fate."

Anu said, "Didn't he do it? We escaped from the Demon Locking Tower safely."

Lin Yueru knocked on Anu's head and said, "Didn't you hear what Anos said just now? That water monster has the ability to be reborn when it encounters water, and it will become immortal because of the bonus of Nuwa's blood.

If I’m not mistaken, Anos has already done it…” Having said that, Lin Yueru couldn’t continue.

Anu said, "Sister Yueru, what is he planning to do? Tell me."

Lin Yueru closed her eyes first, calmed herself down, then opened them and said, "He's probably mentally prepared to die with the enemy."

The other three girls all exclaimed “Ah” in unison, and Lin Yueru said, “Given Anos’s character, this is very possible.

Maybe he was even mentally prepared from the moment he came into this world."

Zhao Linger looked at Lin Shen and said, "Brother Anos, why are you doing this?"

Jiang Wan'er looked at Lin Shen and said, "My benefactor..."

Anu said, "Isn't this the reason why he distanced himself from us in the early days?"

Lin Yueru nodded and said, "Well, I hope that if one day he really dies, we won't be too sad.

But what he didn't expect was that after interacting with us, he actually developed feelings for us."

The four girls all wanted to go up and persuade Lin Shen, but they didn't know how to start.

Lin Yueru said, "Let him listen to music there alone and cry for a while to vent his feelings. Maybe he will feel better this way.

He's always like this, and doesn't want us to see his vulnerable side. Let's go back." So the four girls secretly went back.

The next morning, Lin Shen put away his phone and came down from the tree.

The Saint Lady also opened the door and saw that Lin Shen had stayed in the tree all night. She asked, "Anos, you look like you haven't slept all night. Can your body handle it?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "It's okay, mother-in-law. I used to practice at the trial grounds, and it was normal for me to go without food, water, or sleep for several days. Going without sleep for one night is no problem for me."

The Saint Aunt said, "Okay then." Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger and others also woke up. The Saint Aunt took a wooden box and handed it to Zhao Linger.

Zhao Linger opened it and saw a golden pill inside. The Saint said, "This is the pill for you. Take it."

Zhao Linger nodded and said "hmm", then took out the pill and swallowed it.

Lin Shen asked, "Ling'er, what do you feel?"

Zhao Linger just shook her head at first, but before she could say anything, she began to feel a surge of heat from her body.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"

Then he was about to reach out to support Ling'er, but as soon as he touched Ling'er's arm, he felt the heat and instinctively retracted his hand.

Ling'er felt very uncomfortable and couldn't breathe. After a while, she turned into a red-haired half-human, half-snake creature.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Grandma, what happened to Ling'er?"

The Saint Lady said, “This is a common reaction after taking the Golden Elixir, but why is the reaction so severe?

Princess, have you ever eaten anything that can increase your power?"

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, Ling'er has eaten the Golden Silkworm King and the Morning Dew Golden Phoenix Pill!"

When the Saint Lady heard this, she almost yelled, "What!? Did the princess take the Morning Dew Golden Phoenix Pill?"

Lin Yueru said, "That's true. Chonglou gave it to her."

The Saint Lady said, "That makes sense. The Morning Dew Golden Phoenix Pill is extremely yin, while the Awakening Golden Pill is extremely yang. These two forces are clashing within the princess's body."

If the princess can hold on, her strength will be incomparable. But there is also a 50% risk of failure."

Li Xiaoyao said, "What will happen if we fail?"

The Saint Lady shook her head and said nothing, but everyone understood that if they failed, they would die.

Li Xiaoyao was furious. He grabbed Lin Shen's collar and said in a roaring tone, "It's all your fault. When Chonglou gave her the pill, he asked her to spit it out, but you insisted.

Now it's all right, what do you say we should do? "

Lin Shen said, "What's the point of talking about this now? We should think about how to help her get through this smoothly."

Lin Yueru hurriedly pulled the two apart and said to Li Xiaoyao, "Anos didn't know that the two medicines would conflict with each other. He was doing this for Ling'er's own good.

How can your anger help alleviate Ling'er's pain?

At this time, a hand pulled Li Xiaoyao from behind and said, "No... don't do this, Xiaoyao~Brother~."
