Chapter 158 Nature
Chapter 158 Nature
Fang Yu only beamed at Fatty Lu. "You can't fight against fate, Fatty Lu." She uttered. The stars already intervene. Thus, Fatty Lu needed to die. Without any hesitation, Fang Yu sent the dagger towards the Fatty before she sent a ball of fire towards him. With the current disparity in their abilities, a single fireball was enough to turn the fatty into a pile of ashes.
Fang Yu could only sigh when the system confirmed that she already accomplished the mission.
[Quest: Save Dong Hu from the clutches of the reincarnator. World Level: D. Reward: Eight Hundred coins. Completed.]
[Total coins: Nine hundred thirty coins.]
[Option to exit the world activated.][Exit the World: Option one: Exit the world now. The host's body will die from a heart attack. Option two: Exit the world whenever the host wants to. The host will die in her sleep. The host will have the option to die anytime in ten years.]
Fang Yu froze. Ten years? 'Robot? How was that possible?'
[Host can utilize the power of space.]
"…" Fang Yu pursed her lips. So ten years… This wouldn't depend on the type of world that she was in. For instance, if she visits the ghost dimension and spent ten years in that world, she would still die even if that ten years were only a month in the human world. Meaning… her death would depend on the years that this body had gone through and not the time of that world.

"Yu'er!" Mo Li's panicked voice interrupted her. He suddenly appeared in front of her and pulled her for a tight hug. "Hey… I am so glad you are safe." Relief flashed in his tone. He stroked her head and murmured words of relief. "I am so happy."
"What— What's wrong?" Fang Yu heard herself say. "Of course, I am safe. Xiawen Dong was already wounded earlier." She tried to make her voice sound happier. "Did something happen?" She tried to pull away but Mo Li was refusing to let her go. Instead, he hugged her tighter.
"Is everything alright?" she asked. After a few seconds, she heard Mo Li sigh.
"I am glad that you're still here."
"Why wouldn't I be here?" She faked a laugh. "It's not like I will disappear." For some reason, the mention of the word 'disappear' made her frown. Why does it seem so hard to mention that word? She heard him sigh as he kissed her forehead.
"Nevermind. At least… you are still here." He pulled away and held her hand. Smiling, Mo Li stared at Fang Yu for a few seconds, as if he was silently memorizing her features. Then he leaned down and kissed her forehead again. "Did you kill the one who reincarnated?"
"His soul is inside that dagger." Fang Yu pick up the knife and examined it. She can clearly see the knife seemed to have gotten sharper. But aside from that, there was nothing in the knife that indicated a soul was inside it. "How could I destroy the soul?" she asked.
"Give it to me." Mo Li uttered. "This knife is something that does not belong to this world. My guess was this was from that divine being. He must have given it to the Queen." When Fang Yu handed the knife to Mo Li, he immediately used some dark fire to melt it. To Fang Yu's surprise, the fire was actually cold. Instead of asking any more questions, Fang Yu just watched as the knife turned into a puddle of metal until it turned into a small ball. Then Mo Li squeezed it.
Just like some stone, the metal crumbled into some dust and disappeared from Mo Li's hand. "He can never recover from that." Mo Li uttered.
"So, his soul is still there?"
"Of course." He snorted. "Do you really think I would just kill him? Death was an easy way. There was a way to make suffer for eternity."
Fang Yu trembled at the mention of the word eternity. Suffering for eternity seemed so harsh. But judging from Mo Li's character, this punishment seemed reasonable.
"Let's go." Mo Li uttered as he held her hand.
"Where?"
"To see everyone." Mo Li shrugged. "And Dong Hu?"
"Oh!" Fang Yu nodded. She had almost forgotten that she had sent the villain inside her space when Fatty Lu attacked him. "Here." She waved her hand and Dong Hu appeared in front of them. His face was still red, eyes closed. "I am not sure what type of stuff did he throw towards Dong Hu but it seemed to cause him a lot of pain. He was hissing when I arrived here."
"Ah… that should be a powder from a divine being's body. Dong Hu had darkness affinity. It was normal for him to suffer from someone who had a light affinity." Mo Li flicked his thumb and finger and a white mist floated towards Dong Hu. In less than ten seconds, Dong Hu let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened his sharp eyes.
His attention immediately turned towards Mo Li and Fang Yu. "Reincarnator…"
"He is dead." Mo Li uttered. "We should get back together." Dong Hu eyed Fang Yu before he nodded without saying anything. If there was one person that he would trust with his life, that would be Mo Li and since Mo Li trusted Fang Yu enough to let her know about their identity then… he would trust her too.
When the trio arrived, they immediately told everyone that Dong Hu was a traitor and Mo Li used his senses to find another traitor with them. As a demon, it was easy for Mo Li to sense the essence of devils around other people. After scanning, Mo Li found another two with essences of demons. However, when he scanned their memories, the two weren't really traitors.
Because of this, they concluded that the two might be some decoy that Fatty Lu created to make them take the blame instead of him.
"So, the war." Fang Yu immediately turned towards the Sect Master. "What happened when we left?"
"Well… you were gone for a few months. In that time, the devils suddenly spread some diseases, and magically only the Frozen Wraith Sect have the cures to such diseases. Because of this, many sects approached them. The sect master of the Frozen Wraith took advantage of this to make some allies and create plans to wage wars against our sect and a few other sects that didn't approach them." The sect master didn't hesitate to answer before he turned towards Mo Li. "You already warned me about the war so I was fortunate enough to save a lot of people from the sect. In the early times of the disease, I immediately close the sect and asked everyone to prepare. I knew that it was the devil's way to wage war."
Fang Yu narrowed her eyes. She was about to say something when she heard the system asked her another question.
[Exit This World Now?]
'I will choose option two.' She answered inwardly. How could she leave everyone behind when Ji Tian is still weak? She frowned when she realized that this wasn't the real reason why she chose to stay. Slowly, she turned towards Mo Li and smiled. "Thank you."
"Of course," he smiled. All this time, Mo Li never let go of Fang Yu's hands, as if he was afraid that she would disappear the moment he let go.
[Option Two Initiated. The host will have the option to die anytime in ten years.]
"Now, we already killed Xiawen Dong and that Commander. But this doesn't mean the war is over." Mo Li uttered. "The Devils won't just give up. They weren't able to use Fang Yu but they might have found someone else that could use space and that was the reason why they were able to declare war."
"Sect Master… do you know the current status of the war now?"
"Of course, we are losing! Those people… those despicable devils like to use the power of diseases! Plagues and chaos were consuming humans. We weren't losing because we are powerless but because of our greedy hearts and selfish nature!"
Fang Yu nodded. She completely understood this type of selfishness. "Then… this space…"
"Of course, we can stay here." Mo Li said. "You can rebuild your sect in this place. This is a self-sustaining space with food and enough air for a lot of people to survive. The Sect would surely survive here."
"But what about the other sect?" The Sect Master asked.
"What about them?" Fang Yu asked and immediately bit her lips when she realized that her question was totally unexpected of 'Fang Yu's' nature. Fang Yu might be cold but the sect master knew that she was really nice and kind. Contrary to her nature, that question sounded so 'selfish'.
This immediately made her wonder if this was her nature of when she was still Lily.
