"Thank you!" Because Lu Lin's prophecy saved the little elf a lot of time explaining, he took the lead and led the way. Finally, the two of them arrived in front of Skykirk's consciousness.
Two chapters released in a row! Thank you so much for the monthly ticket support from 愁帐慕言!!! Please give me more monthly tickets!!!
Chapter 616: Silky: Why don't you listen to what you're saying!
This is a clear lake. A cool girl with white hair and red eyes stands in the middle of the lake. The flowing lake water falls from the gap into the cliff to form a waterfall, which is the manifestation of her power.
However, her power has now been sealed by Lu Lin, so the waterfall has stopped flowing, leaving only this clear lake surface.
Within her consciousness space, Skykirk remained aloof and indifferent. Seeing the strange creature and Lu Lin's arrival, she showed no emotional fluctuation. "You insisted I rest first, just so you could enter my consciousness space?"
The aloof and stunningly beautiful girl looked at Lu Lin calmly, her words devoid of emotion, seemingly unsurprised by his arrival. "I told you, there's a problem with your cultivation, and its existence is the root of that problem," Lu Lin said, pointing to the peculiar little sprite leading the way. Skirk tilted her head, her expression indifferent yet somewhat endearing; clearly, she neither understood nor agreed with Lu Lin's statement.
"Imprison yourself from pointless emotions, kill your fragile self, and truly become the master of your body. This is the method Surtrocchi taught you to become stronger, and you've always done it, haven't you?"
Before she could answer, Lu Lin continued, "This little guy is the emotion you imprisoned, those impulses you rejected, and the past you abandoned. They are all part of this little guy."
You've always refused to face it, imprisoning it deep within your consciousness. If I hadn't sealed your power, it probably wouldn't have had the chance to come to you on its own initiative. Silkirk shook her head and said, "You're wrong. I've always faced it head-on. Its existence only weakens my power. Those moments when it shows joy and longing are precisely when this body's power is at its weakest."
My belief in kindness and goodness reduced my homeland to ruins. The universe is too vast and insignificant; personal emotions are worthless! "Then let me ask you, strip away what you perceive as weak emotions, what's the difference between you and those soldiers who destroyed your homeland?" "The difference is that I know what I'm doing and what I should be doing."
"Hehe, don't those people who destroyed your hometown know what they're doing or what they're going to do?" Lu Lin chuckled. "Actually, I don't like talking about these grand principles. Let's talk about something more realistic."
You have indeed gained immense power by stripping away your emotions, just like you are now, but are you truly strong enough now? Can you defeat Surtroch?
“I’m not strong enough. I’m no match for him right now!” Skork admitted this without hesitation.
"The idea of confining emotions is something Surtroch taught you. You're just following his old path. Do you think you can defeat him by going down his path?"
Lu Lin's question hit the nail on the head, and Silky subconsciously straightened her brows.
Although she was very confident, she was also very self-aware. At her current rate of improvement, the hope of catching up with or even surpassing Surtroch was actually quite slim.
"See, you know the answer. Forget about defeating him, you can't even defeat me." Lu Lin shrugged, speaking quite rudely. "Do you know how long it took me to go from an ordinary person with no strength to where I am today, possessing the power to defeat you?"
"How long?" Silkkok was still somewhat interested in Lu Lin, who had defeated her; her goal was to continuously become stronger. "Six months!"
Silky Kirk:
To go from an ordinary person to someone with strength surpassing that of Skyker in just six months is truly a fantasy!
It's important to know that Skykirk herself is one of the most outstanding geniuses in the universe; otherwise, Surtroch wouldn't have taken her as his apprentice.
Even with her talent, her current strength is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation, during which she endured countless hardships and injuries! And this man in front of her only took half a year?!
Even someone as indifferent as Silky Kirk found it unbelievable.
"Do you know how I did it?" Lu Lin pointed to his chest. "I relied on emotions! In the past six months, I've had fifty-one girlfriends. I love each and every one of them equally, and they love me too."
To protect them, to safeguard these hard-won emotions, I must become stronger; they are the source of my power!
Skirk, do you want to hear what you're saying? Are you even speaking human language?
Even with Silky Kirk's aloof nature, she felt utterly absurd at this moment.
Fifty-one girlfriends, all of them are the source of your power, then you certainly have a lot of sources of power, no wonder I can't beat you! But is that reasonable?!
In fact, Lu Lin subtly changed the subject here. He did become stronger because of his girls, but the Dust Song Pot System played a key role in it. He deliberately omitted this and only mentioned the more idealistic part.
But the path itself is not wrong. Silky's confinement of emotions is not a long-term solution, at least it cannot surpass Surtroch.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Liyue and ask around about my deeds. My name is Lu Lin, and I'm quite famous in Liyue... Wait, we've been talking for so long, and you haven't even asked me my name?"
Silky paused for a moment, her focus had always been on strength and power, and she did indeed seem to have never asked Lu Lin's name.
Do you think this is normal? In your pursuit of becoming stronger, you're gradually losing even basic interpersonal skills. Can you really become stronger like this?
Lu Lin shrugged and said, "Actually, I'm not denying your past. There's no right or wrong between you and this little guy. If you don't restrain your weak emotions, you might not be able to get through the most difficult period after your hometown was destroyed."
But one shouldn't blindly follow a single path. Choosing a stronger path and overcoming your future destiny is what you should be doing. Now the path is before you; how will you choose?
“Skirk, you are me and I am you. What you want to do, I also want to do, which is why I try every means to appear in front of you.”
The darkness of the future still oppresses you. I came to find you only to face it together with you, to face it together as Skykirk! "The little fairy floated in front of Skykirk, and an ethereal noise rang out.
Silky's face, as cold as ice, finally softened. Lu Lin seemed to hear the sound of ice shattering, and fragments of the past flashed through her mind.
Her childhood dreams of freedom and beauty, her parents' love and upbringing, their sacrifices when disaster struck and their final expectations for her... a tear rolled down the corner of the cool girl's eye without her noticing.
She slowly reached out and touched the little sprite formed from her own emotions, murmuring, "If this is your wish, then I will take you with me to the very end."
"Thank you!"
A soft light flashed, and the little fairy merged into Skykirk's body. When she opened her eyes again, they were no longer the eternally frozen ice, but had gained a gentle radiance.
"Lu Lin, can you teach me to become stronger?"
I only updated once today. I was dragged to visit relatives during the day. There are unavoidable social obligations during the holidays. I didn't get home until 7:30 to start writing. I also have to write two books, so I only had time to finish one chapter for each.
Chapter 617: Silky Kirk: I Want to Be Your Fifty-Second Girlfriend
Silky's sudden request for advice was truly beyond Lu Lin's expectations.
A powerful individual like Skykirk has already developed their own unique system.
She could easily train a disciple of the Patient Clan to the level of an executive officer. Although he was only a low-ranking executive officer, he was still an executive officer, the kind who could fight the Star-Devouring Whale to a standstill!
You've already reached this level, do you still need me to teach you how to become stronger?
In fact, under normal circumstances, even if she encountered a stronger person than herself, Skirk would not have to ask for advice like this. Just as Lu Lin thought, she already had her own system for martial arts and did not need anyone to interfere.
What truly astonished her was Lu Lin's astonishing speed of progress. In just six months, he had grown from an ordinary person to someone who could defeat himself—a speed that was simply unheard of.
Even Surtroch couldn't achieve such rapid progress!
She didn't think Lu Lin was lying to her, since she could verify these things. At this level of strength, there was no need for him to lie.
Silky now not only acknowledges Lu Lin's strength but also his achievements on the path of emotional cultivation. In this respect, he is absolutely qualified to be her teacher. Although they are different, since the aloof fairy has come to him of her own accord, he has no reason to turn her away.
"Let's go out first, I'll break your seal!" "No need, I've already broken the seal."
Silky looked up, and the lake in her consciousness space, which had been nearly dry, suddenly rose, and the waterfall that had stopped flowing resumed, like a silver river hanging upside down in the sky. Just now, when she regained her emotions and reunited with the little elf, she had already felt the return of her power, and it had been greatly enhanced. Breaking through Lu Lin's seal was a natural outcome.
"See, I didn't lie to you. Regaining your emotions will definitely be beneficial to your growth!" Lu Lin wasn't surprised at all. Skirk's talent and strength were undeniable!
Silky nodded. It was precisely because she felt her power returning and becoming stronger that she wholeheartedly accepted Lu Lin and felt that he could teach her. "Let's go out first. You still have some issues to resolve!"
In the abyss, Lu Lin opened his eyes from inside the tent. The aloof and stunningly beautiful female swordswoman was already standing silently outside his tent. The girl stood with her hands at her sides, her white hair flowing, her figure exquisite and graceful, her back straight like a drawn sword.
Although she has regained her emotions, she has maintained an indifferent demeanor for many years, which has become a habit, and she still looks as cold as an ice cube.
"What do you want me to teach you?" Lu Lin didn't care that she was still so aloof; the cool and aloof young swordswoman was quite endearing, wasn't she? "Teach me how to use emotions to cultivate and become stronger!"
Pfft, it seems you still misunderstand me. I don't use emotions for cultivation. Emotions are not something that can be used. You must understand this.
Putting everything else aside, just imagine if you were asked to use your most cherished and beautiful memories as resources to become stronger—wouldn't you find that disgusting? Hmm…it really is awful. Perhaps I misspoke. I'd like to know how you managed to do that?
"The answer is simple: follow your heart and let nature take its course. Love when you want to love and hate when you want to hate. Don't restrain your emotions and desires. Just let your thoughts flow freely!"
Lu Lin walked up to her, looked her over briefly, and asked, "Have you ever been in a relationship?" "No!" Silky answered quite decisively; she really had neither the opportunity nor the need to be in one.
"Why don't you try dating a boyfriend? You haven't experienced normal emotional communication in a long time. Think of it as a recovery exercise." "Are you trying to seduce me?" Skylar tilted her head indifferently, her hair swaying slightly, giving her a strangely playful look.
Although she has never been in love and is aloof and unapproachable, she has traveled to many worlds and spent a long time in Teyvat, so she is naturally very knowledgeable and not an ignorant naive girl.
"How can you call it a matchmaking? A beautiful lady is easily pleased by a gentleman. Besides, what I just said is all true. Even if you don't choose to talk to me, you should try to experience normal emotional communication."
With Lu Lin's thick skin, he naturally wouldn't feel embarrassed by Skork's direct attack. He maintained his composure and continued to talk, but his words were interrupted by Skork again.
"If it's you, I can!"
"Huh? What can I do?" Lu Lin didn't quite understand at first.
"I can be your fifty-second girlfriend!" The aloof girl still had that expressionless look, but why did her words sound a little sarcastic?
Lu Lin had seen girls who liked to be straightforward before, but she had never met one as direct as Silky! No wonder she was called the aloof female swordswoman!
Lu Lin did want to win over Skykirk, but he wasn't in a hurry. Girls like Skykirk, who are beautiful, strong, and tragic, are often more fragile and sensitive.
He didn't want to lure her in unwittingly, but rather hoped that Skylark would genuinely like him and give her the most perfect emotional experience. "Love isn't a transaction; you have to truly like someone to become boyfriend and girlfriend. We..." I like you! You said yourself that a gentleman likes a beautiful lady, which means you like me too, and that's enough! Skylark hit another direct line. Are you serious? Lu Lin found it hard to believe, even though he knew he had the charm bonus from the "Charming and Debonair" attribute.
But charm isn't something you can just buy, especially when dealing with a girl who's used to being aloof. It can only have a supporting effect. "Do I look like someone who would joke around? You might think we've only known each other for a day, but that's not how I see myself."
The repeated exchanges seemed to gradually open up Skykik's mind, and she started talking more. "You entered my consciousness space and saw my past memories."
For me, it's like you walked with me through the past, whether it was a happy or tragic journey, your shadow was there.
You are different to me!
As she finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on the face of this aloof and stunningly beautiful girl. The smile was so faint that it was almost invisible, but Lu Lin still caught it.
The girl's radiant beauty at that moment was enough for Lu Lin to remember for the rest of his life!
"And you helped me rediscover my suppressed emotions. Without you, where would I be today?"
The aloof girl with white hair and red eyes doesn't really understand love; she only knows how to follow her heart and throw direct attacks at Lu Lin one after another.
Who could withstand such a slamming? At least Lu Lin couldn't!
Skirk wasn't much of a talker, and after saying those few words, she shut her mouth and just stared intently at Lu Lin, waiting for his response.
Just to correct something, the statement in yesterday's chapter that the protagonist had fifty girlfriends was incorrect. It should actually be fifty-one. It has been corrected!
Chapter 618: Bringing Silky Back to the Master Bed in the Jade Pavilion
"Actually, when I look back on your past memories, I feel very regretful that I didn't come into this world back then, didn't meet you, and couldn't help you through the difficulties."
But fortunately, we can control the future. I will face your future with you, not just me, but also your sisters. We are not just boyfriend and girlfriend, but family who support each other, comrades-in-arms facing fate together!
With a sincere expression, Lu Lin slowly walked to the white-haired girl and opened his arms. "Skirk, you will definitely be happy!"
The aloof and stunningly beautiful girl smiled gently, like ice and snow melting and spring returning to the earth; her beauty was beyond compare!
She let Lu Lin pull her into his arms, then wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her head in his neck.
When she was a child, Skykirk also longed for sweet love, but after the disaster struck her home planet, that longing vanished long ago.
At this moment, she finally felt the long-lost warmth in Lu Lin's embrace again, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so long took root, sprouted, and grew, filling her long-barren heart anew.
Silky was tall and curvaceous, especially her ample bosom, which was quite impressive. Her breasts were pressed against Lu Lin's chest, allowing him to clearly feel the contours of her breasts, and his heart skipped a beat.
The two stood embracing, and Lu Lin was reluctant to break the tranquil atmosphere, so he didn't make any unnecessary movements. After some time, when Lu Lin wanted to take Silk's hand, he remembered there was something important he hadn't done.
Oh, right, there's one more important thing I haven't finished. I'll take you to a safe place! Lu Lin, holding Silky, teleported directly into the Dust Song Pot.
He led Silky to the Jade Pavilion high in the sky, briefly introduced the existence of the Dust Song Pot to Silky, and went through the registration process for her, granting her the right to come and go freely.
Since Skirk could create her own abyssal space for living and cultivation, she wasn't surprised that Lu Lin had his own little world.
Lu Lin led her into the master bedroom of Qunyu Pavilion. Seeing the huge bed in the master bedroom, even though Silky's knowledge of matters between men and women was very shallow, she could guess what such a big bed was used for.
"Lie down first, I'll help you repair your limbs." Lu Lin pointed to the large bed, indicating that Skykirk should lie down. "Repair my limbs, is that alright?" Skykirk hadn't expected that the important thing Lu Lin mentioned was this.
Her limbs had long been completely shattered during repeated sword practice. Surtroch, that guy, only knew how to destroy and plunder; he knew nothing about repair and healing.
In the end, it was simply formed from the purest abyssal power that created the new limbs.
Although with Silky Kirk's control over the Abyss's power, the new limbs were very useful to her, indistinguishable from her real limbs, and saved her the trouble of injury and pain.
But Skykirk is, after all, a living, breathing human being. Who would want to be incomplete? Especially after regaining her emotions, she longs to return to her original self.
Originally, she planned to find a way to reshape her body herself, but she didn't expect that Lu Lin had also considered this point, and that he had a solution. Of course, Siker understood that reshaping limbs was not an easy task, and she became even more curious about this handsome man.
Having established a relationship, Swire naturally had a considerable level of trust in Lu Lin. Following Lu Lin's instructions, she took off her shoes and lay flat on the bed. The bed was large enough to comfortably accommodate eight or ten people lying side-by-side. Lu Lin also took off his shoes and knelt beside Swire.
The girl's deep purple hands and feet reflected a light like ice crystals; this was a tangible abyssal power, something even Lu Lin had to handle with caution. "Could you separate this part of the power first? Start with your hands."
“Okay!” Without the slightest hesitation, Skirk severed the hands formed by the Abyss and set them aside for the time being.
These are her hands, her last reserves of strength. If even this strength is exhausted, it means she has truly reached the end of her rope.
But now, just because of Lu Lin's words, she unhesitatingly relinquished half of her power reserves, which shows how much she trusts Lu Lin. After removing the power of the abyss from her hands, her arms were severed at the elbows, which looked heartbreaking.
Lu Lin gently stroked the girl's severed arm and said softly, "This is also my first time reshaping someone's limbs. I don't know exactly what it will feel like. It might be a little uncomfortable, so you should be prepared!"
"Don't worry, I can handle it!" Skirk's expression remained calm. Over the past few centuries, she had endured countless hardships, and her pain tolerance far surpassed that of others. No matter how painful it was, could it compare to the pain of having limbs torn apart?
