Chapter 318.1: Seeing the Light Of Day Once More

What does being not truly alive mean?

The man curved up the edges of his lips and said in an indifferent tone. “Back then, I had truly and really died, where I did not even possess a whole and complete soul. This me you see before you now, is merely just a remnant shadow that gathered and formed together over the span of a million years.”

Hearing that, Qing Yu’s face looked a little stunned, like she was finding that rather hard to believe.

She suddenly stretched her hand out, like she wanted to go touch him and see. The man just stood there with a nonchalant smile hanging from the corners of his lips, making neither an attempt to avoid or dodge from her actions.

However, in the very next instant, Qing Yu saw her outstretched hand slipping right through the man’s body.

“How…..”

Qing Yu stared at her hand in flabbergasted amazement before her brows knitted up and she said: “But….. that little fella there had clearly tugged at your sword just now….. Is your sword real then?”

The man smiled but did not say anything as he brought the sword in his hand up before the young lady, indicating that she should try to give it a pull herself.

Qing Yu reached her hand out. Just as expected, her hand grasped nothing but air.

Immediately, her eyes turned to cast a dubious looking gaze upon the little toddler behind her.

Although that little fella had lived for more than ten thousand years, everything he saw felt fresh and new to him, his sparkling big round eyes looking inquisitively here and there, seeming to find this world at the bottom of the lake exceptionally amazing.

It seemed he could feel Qing Yu’s measuring gaze on him as he turned his head around and flashed a grin at her, looking so innocent and guileless.

“How did he then……”

Qing Yu could not help feeling a little puzzled. How was the little one able to pull out his sword? And to touch his body? ?

It looked like he could sense her puzzlement as the man started to explain. “It is because the little one is the same as me, in human form but without a solid body. Moreover, the Earth Fire Devil Vine is a demonic species, so we share a subtle link in a way, which made it possible for him to be able to touch me as well.”

The man had actually seen through the little toddler and knew his true form all this time.

The man’s eyes then turned over to the other side, to rest upon the calm and quiet figure of the golden haired youth, a glint of interest shining in his eyes. “However, with this kid here, I am just able to sense that he isn’t human. It is rather strange to me that I am unable to see his true form.”

Hearing the man mention him, Zang Mai could not help but raise his head up, his long slanted gold and silver irises flashing with a dark glint for a brief instant before disappearing very quickly.

“He is my weapon spirit, a close companion who grew up with me. It is only normal that you are unable to see his real form because he is an extremely rare spirit beast type weapon spirit.”
