Chapter 240
Although he was in military uniform and his face looked much more weathered, Le Zheng Shui Ling still recognized him immediately.
Seeing his benefactor, he was not surprised by her youth, but happily asked her to sit down.
Le Zheng Shuiling could smell the blood on him and could see the hostility in him.
"You've become a lot better over the years."
"My benefactor, would you like to give it a try? Even if you were a woman, I would not give in to you."
He smiled, still thinking about what he saw then.
When Le Zheng Shui Ling was about to speak, a man rushed in. After seeing Le Zheng Shui Ling, he swallowed his words.
The two of them exchanged glances and whispered a few words to the side. Le Zheng Shuiling noticed that his eyes had changed and were full of murderous intent.
"My benefactor, please rest here for a while. I'll have someone prepare some food and drinks for you. I'll be back soon."
She was the only one left in the tent, and Princess Haitang suddenly appeared again.
"Aren't you curious about what he did?"
"You're wasting my time."
Le Zheng Shuiling's patience had reached its limit, but she still looked as if she didn't care and forcibly took her away to watch the other party killing.
"Did you see that? He has never forgotten the hatred for the demons. If it was just to eliminate the demons, for a Taoist, it would be the right position. But you should have seen that he killed people as well.
At first, it was those who were close to the demon race, then it was those he made groundless assumptions about, and later on, he could kill without any reason, just to satisfy his own desire.
Look at those monsters and people who died tragically, have you ever regretted saving him? His village only has more than 20 people, but he has killed thousands of monsters and people. Is it worth it?
If I hadn't saved him, there wouldn't be so many innocent demons and people dying tragically. Do you regret it?"
Le Zheng Shui Ling stared at the scene in front of her closely. Princess Haitang kept nagging in her ear, which was really annoying.
She rushed over to stop him from killing and pleaded for the innocent people, but he argued confidently, not thinking that the other party was innocent or that he was wrong. Instead of arguing for a few words, he pointed at her and made groundless assumptions.
Le Zheng Shui Ling tried to wake him up, but he was now too strong to be her opponent, and Le Zheng Shui Ling could only watch him kill her.
"My benefactor has long lost his mind, and I am truly heartbroken."
"Are you going to kill me?"
"No, I don't want to kill you. It's you who wants to kill me. It's you who is hindering me from doing justice for the heavens."
"Yes, I am interfering, but I am interfering with you making mistakes."
"No, no, you just regret saving me. At this moment, you are thinking that it would have been better if you hadn't saved me, right?"
Before Le Zheng Shui Ling could answer, his gun had already stabbed at her, and Le Zheng Shui Ling closed her eyes.
She didn't feel any pain, but instead heard a familiar cry for help. She opened her eyes and saw him as a child rushing towards her.
"If you let him die, you can save thousands of innocent people, as well as yourself. If he lives, you will die."
Le Zheng Shuiling understood what this meant. If he died now, there would be no future for him. If he was still alive, the gun would always be stuck in his body.
It was obviously a very close distance, but I ran for a long time. I saw that he was about to reach me. It was so easy to ignore him and just stand aside.
Seeing her turn sideways, Princess Haitang could no longer conceal the smile on her lips, but in the end she still rescued him.
"Why? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Don't I regret saving him? I regret it. Am I not afraid of death? I am afraid of death. But I can't watch him die. This is also selfish. Do you understand?
The future is unpredictable, I just followed my heart at the moment. I only know that if I don't save him, I will regret it. I will never forget this incident and live in self-blame. I made this choice, and maybe I can feel at ease temporarily. "
"Hahaha, no, you just think it's fake, it doesn't matter, so you dare to do anything to convince me. You, have killed thousands of monsters and humans, and yourself."
His silver spear finally stabbed over. Le Zheng Shuiling closed her eyes and accepted everything. She didn't feel any pain, but instead felt a little itchy on the bridge of her nose.
"Look, my benefactor, I have finally become a great Taoist."
Le Zheng Shuiling opened her eyes and looked at him, a handsome young man in white, talking and laughing.
The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and butterflies fluttering.
"This is impossible."
"Yes, how is this possible? The future is full of unknowns and variables. When I saved him, I just wanted him to live, and I believed that his future would be good. I believe you too, when you chose to sacrifice yourself, you were just thinking about saving the ghosts and the underworld.
Even if you knew that you would not die but would be trapped here and suffer for eternity, I believe that your choice would be the same at that time. Even if you hesitated for a moment, because you did not know that the consequences would be so painful and uncomfortable, it is human nature to regret. It is human nature for you to want to end this torment.
And now I have to choose to sacrifice you for myself and for the people I care about."
"Haha, sacrifice me? Why? I sacrificed myself, why should you sacrifice me? Otherwise, why don't you replace me? You make it sound so easy and nice."
"Can I choose this? Use me in exchange for your freedom?"
Princess Haitang was stunned and looked at her. It was not just a casual question.
"You...you know that staying here is very painful, so why..."
"Because I had the same idea as you at the beginning. If I alone can save the lives of the entire clan and save the people of the world, then it's worth it."
"No, it's different. I didn't know it would be like this at first. If I had known...if I had known..."
"You will make the same choice, but it may take longer."
"You think too highly of me. There's nothing wrong with being selfish, right? Now that you've saved the Underworld, if the Underworld wants to dominate and eliminate the human race in the future, will you regret it?"
"Who doesn't want their race to be strong?"
"It's fine for a race to be strong, and it's fine for an individual to be strong. The guy at the Eversleeping Mountain is also selfish. He just wants eternal life and great power, but don't you think he's wrong? Do you want to attack him?"
"I feel disgust and aversion to senseless killings deep in my heart. However, if a person is trying to survive for the most basic of reasons, in this case, I understand his position and think he is not wrong.
Why don't you think so? We are fighting him not because he is wrong, but because he wants us to die in order to live. Why? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, my senior brother said. Justice will prevail, the same truth, my senior brother also said.
If he wins, he will continue to be his god, the world is his, he has the final say, and traitors are traitors, just like before; if we win, we will also have our own arguments, which may not be worse than those of traitors, what do you think, princess?"
Princess Haitang burst into laughter after hearing this.
"What a great saying, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit"; what a great saying, "selfishness is not a sin"; for all these years, what I have been waiting for is actually this sentence: You are not wrong, and I am not wrong."
As she laughed, she started crying again, and her appearance gradually changed. Only then did Le Zheng Shuiling realize that she was not Princess Haitang at all.
"You are not Princess Haitang!"
"I never was, but you."
