Chapter 267
—— "How many people know about my talent? And how many know about those things?"
—— "Are you trying to steal my talent, my gold coins, my treasures? Who sent you to harm me?! Speak up!"
—— "Which organization are you from? Do you have any accomplices? What are your plans? Spill it all!"
Yu Xunge: Enough, I said enough...
Yu Xunge was not a three-year-old child; she couldn't just believe everything Feng Ran said. She shot a glance at Tu Lan, signaling her to continue.
Another strike.
Feng Ran's voice grew weaker. "My king, I have something to say..."
The murderous intent in Yu Xunge's heart dissipated instantly. This mindset was clearly off, and she immediately felt a sense of caution.
Yet, even though she sensed something was wrong, she couldn't muster any killing intent towards Feng Ran! No, it wasn't just a lack of killing intent; she felt no hostility at all...
Was this a skill? Or the influence of her wings?
But it seemed that Feng Ran could only hear the voice and not see the outside situation; otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until Tu Lan used her skill a second time to plead for mercy. Yu Xunge's tense emotions relaxed a bit. "I'll give you five seconds to convince me."
Tu Lan immediately tucked her hand bone under her armpit, one claw pinching something in the air while the other stirred around.
Yu Xunge looked at Tu Lan in confusion, wondering what this little brat was up to now.
Tu Lan: "Just borrowing a bit of oil; I'm going to fry something."
Yu Xunge: "………………"
This little brat dared to mention her oil! She grabbed a flower from the vase on the table and hurled it at Tu Lan.
Feng Ran: "The toast your mother taught you isn't complete. If you help me revive, I can teach you the full version. I'll even leave you my orange-red wings. Not only that, but I can also give you a piece of knowledge I accidentally obtained: [Mastery of 555 Languages of All Races]!
"Trust me, as long as you want to go to the World Battlefield, you will definitely need [Mastery of 555 Languages of All Races]! Even my mother couldn't find the source of this knowledge. Back then, she tried many ways just to let me share it with her, but unfortunately, I only managed to separate out 333 languages for her."
Given Feng Tang's honesty with her three daughters, Yu Xunge wasn't surprised that Feng Ran knew about the World Battlefield. However, she was suspicious of the chips Feng Ran was offering; why were they all so perfectly enticing?
Even the full version of the toast she knew—had she awakened in the tower?
And that [Mastery of 555 Languages of All Races], though it was the first time she had heard of this skill, the connection between the languages of all races and the World Battlefield was self-evident. Anyone could understand the importance of this, and in her plans, she absolutely had to go to the World Battlefield.
Knowledge was the most precious thing in her heart, ranking above items and equipment in importance and priority.
Yu Xunge thought of a way to ignite the orange-red wings. Surely, she wouldn't leave that to chance.
In response to Yu Xunge's question, Feng Ran replied, "I’m not sure." But then she repeated the method, allowing Yu Xunge to verify it herself.
Yu Xunge was very satisfied with Feng Ran's attitude. She asked the question that had been on her mind: "You know what I'm afraid of, fine. But how do you know I would need these things?"
Feng Ran obediently answered, "I have a skill called [I Was Terrified at That Time], which lets me know what things about me can touch the target that is about to kill me."
Another "I have a skill"...
Yu Xunge: "…Besides [What Are You Afraid Of] and [I Was Terrified at That Time], what other similar skills do you have? Enlighten me."
She believed Feng Ran understood what she meant by "similar types." She had already sensed that, in some ways, she and Feng Ran were quite alike...
Feng Ran's voice was filled with the joy of finally meeting someone who understood: "[My King, I Have Something to Say], [Enemy's Calm Period], [Help Me Up], [Turn Enemies into Friends], [Let's Be Friends], [We're All Family], [The Smile of a Saint], [Verbal Evasion]..."
Yu Xunge clutched her wildly beating heart. With each skill Feng Ran mentioned, her heart raced. This... was an unprecedented feeling!
Was this a skill library? This was clearly her wish list!!
Tu Lan lowered her head and straightened the thumb of the Mind Catcher, flipping the hand bone downwards at an 850° angle.
Yu Xunge's eyes were still shining, but she had already started threatening the child: "I'm watching you."
Tu Lan silently straightened her hand bone.
Yu Xunge decisively said, "Give me all those skills, and along with your previous reward, I'll help you revive! I can even send you off with 888 firecrackers for the revival ceremony."
Feng Ran: "…Do you know why I was awakened by you?"
Yu Xunge gently replied, "You tell me, I'm listening~"
Feng Ran was momentarily taken aback by Yu Xunge's attitude. She answered, "Because we have many similarities in our personalities. A lot of what you said and did in the tower is extremely similar to things I once said and did. There were many moments when our souls resonated in harmony, and only then could I be awakened by you, allowing my wings to parasitize on you."
These words exploded like thunder in Yu Xunge's heart.
She almost whispered, "Only by becoming like you, by having actions and words similar to your past selves, and by resonating with your souls, can I awaken you... Is that how you can be revived?"
No wonder the oak owl regarded successfully ascending the tower as an honor; for them, having their spirits reborn within someone else might truly be a form of glory.
Feng Ran replied, "Exactly. The similarity must exceed 50%, and for many events that are extremely important to the spirits, you must make the exact same choices. It's difficult. Is there a problem with that?"
Is there a problem?
Perhaps there is.
Yu Xunge suddenly asked, "Did you used to love baking cookies? Did you ever string the failed cookies into a necklace and give it to Feng Cang?"
"Yeah, that was one of our resonances. It's really a coincidence, and you just happened to give it to Feng Cang. That necklace is unique to Feng Cang; Feng Tang and Feng Mu don't have it."
"What did the cookies look like?"
"Teddy bear cookies, drawn by me. Super cute!"
"Weren't they drawn by Feng Cang for you?"
"Of course not! The Senhai doesn't have those bears. I imagined them as my little pets."
Then the Feng Cang who drew the teddy bear designs for her back then was probably not just a simple memory fragment. Perhaps the Feng Cang in the tower had a small part of her original consciousness. Feng Tang likely did too. Their roles were not merely to observe or accompany their deceased family members in another form...
She was certain that the past Su Yitong and the "Feng Mu" she had met were not alike at all; their souls did not resonate!
If the Feng Tang and Feng Cang in the tower truly had conscious existence, and if they realized that this endlessly reincarnating "Feng Mu" was the same person... then the three hundred years that had seemed like a dream to Su Yitong were probably just Feng Tang preparing to awaken Feng Mu.
Feng Tang had given Su Yitong the familial love, affection, and power she had longed for. She had personally tamed a fierce yet wounded soul, sculpting it bit by bit into the likeness of Feng Mu, all to allow Feng Mu to be reborn.
And what about Su Yitong? Had she realized it? She was so sensitive and serious; there was no way she couldn't tell the difference between truth and falsehood.
Was it sweet as honey, willingly cooperating, and then continuing to play dumb, acting like the second-rate fool she described?
Or was she desperately trying to hypnotize herself, forcing herself not to think about those flaws...
【Chapter 357: I Have a Golden Idea】
—— "Hey... hey!!"
Yu Xunge snapped back to reality, suppressing her swirling emotions. "Hmm? Where were we?"
Feng Ran: "So, if I have to give up so many skills just to survive, I'd rather die rich and laugh as I go."
Yu Xunge: ...
For a moment, she truly thought she had found a kindred spirit.
Tu Lan excitedly pointed at Yu Xunge's orange-red wings: "No need to verify; this is definitely the truth! You two are truly in sync!"
Yu Xunge pressed her fist against her forehead. This was tricky; she genuinely believed Feng Ran was speaking the truth. These skills were clearly Feng Ran's favorites, and if it were her, she wouldn't agree to such a deal.
If someone told her, "Give me your [Furious Moon], [Sorcerer's Time], [Mind Catcher], plus your S and SS-level skills, and I'll let you live," she would definitely fight to the death, taking the other down with her—then resurrect and come back to kill them again.
Yu Xunge asked, "If I let you continue to exist within the wings, will you take over my body, or will you devour me? Assimilate me?"
Perhaps it was because there were no other beings here besides her and Tu Lan, but this information slipped out smoothly.
Feng Ran was quite candid in the face of a formidable opponent. She answered, "In those moments of soul resonance, we have already formed a connection. If you don't sever it in time, we will gradually merge into one. I won't be purely me, and you won't be your original self anymore.
"I don't want that. Even if my mother and Feng Cang love me as before, I don't want to share them with you. So helping you is also helping myself."
