The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 40: Do I deserve it?

"Hongling, can I call you that?"

Yue Hongling didn’t respond.

"I’m currently in the second-floor space, in the Demon Swamp. I’ve found a great place for cultivation and am focusing on my training. Don’t worry, I won’t fall behind you!"

"Damn it, the Demon Swamp is occupied by the Blue Crocodile Clan. They allow other major demon clans to cultivate there but won’t let me enter."

"It’s fine, I’ll go to the Qinggu Valley to meditate."

"The Qinggu Valley is occupied by a group of monks. Such a place for cultivation should be open for all living beings to use!"

"Hongling, are you listening?"

"Today, I fought against a demon clan for a Demon Flame Fruit. I won, but the fruit was ruined."

"Why is it that the Phoenix Clan no longer exists? If the Phoenix Clan were still around, I wouldn’t have to be so lonely."

"Hongling, can I come to you? There are so many powerful forces controlling resources, and alone, I can’t stand up to them."

Finally, Yue Hongling replied with one sentence.

"No. Since you don’t have a force, then observe how solitary cultivators train."

"Ah, so you can hear me. I thought this magic tool was broken. Hongling, can we talk?"

Yue Hongling was very busy.

In fact, in her previous life, Yue Hongling had already known that Feng Wuxie was a bit clingy and talkative.

She actually liked this kind of personality because she herself was strong, and this soft, clingy personality complemented hers well.

As for her senior brother, he was tolerant and optimistic. Feng Wuxie gave Yue Hongling a completely new feeling.

But maybe because she wasn’t as strong as she was in this life, Feng Wuxie’s soft and clingy personality wasn’t as obvious in her previous life.

This life...

It was hard to say.

Yue Hongling was really busy now. She was slowly becoming the number one figure among humans, constantly fighting and fighting for territory.

Fighting demons, fighting monsters, fighting monks, fighting ghosts, fighting gods.

Fight, fight, fight.

Only after truly becoming the leader of the human race did Yue Hongling realize how busy this position was. There were so many things to do every day.

And what about Lu Ye in his past life?

In his previous life, her senior brother was definitely not as strong as she was now. The battles were even more brutal, and senior brother killed countless strong enemies while she was constantly injured.

But still, she kept bothering him, asking him to accompany her in training, asking him to save her, asking him to help her find the treasures she needed.

Facing these requests, Lu Ye always agreed with a doting smile, then went to fight a hard battle, injuring himself to make the enemy fear him, and then found time to accompany her.

It turned out that senior brother was so tired.

Yue Hongling felt some heartache. From the matter with the Pure Water Pearl, she had already realized that what her senior brother bore was far more complicated than she had thought.

She sighed softly.

At least now, her senior brother had it easier.

Lu Ye was truly at ease now. He had occupied the Tianling Pool, and his cultivation speed was increasing rapidly. All the spiritual energy from the Tianling Pool was converging toward him.

At this moment, the Tianling Pool had become a forbidden place.

So far, all kinds of creatures had ventured in, but if anyone dared to act against Lu Ye, they would meet their death.

If they tried to compete for spiritual energy, they would be sent flying.

If they resisted, they would still die.

Demons, monsters, ghosts, gods—none of them dared to come near Tianling Pool anymore.

The place that was supposed to be a sacred ground for cultivation had been turned into a devil's lair by Lu Ye.

With a rumble from within Lu Ye’s body...

Breaking Infant, Eighth Layer!

It was terrifying. His cultivation was skyrocketing like a rocket, rapidly increasing at an astonishing rate.

But Lu Ye wasn’t at all unsettled. He knew his own situation well.

Step by step, he walked steadily, with each step leaving a deep print.

Years later, when he looked back from the peak, he would clearly see every step he had taken.

For now, though, he continued to cultivate.

On one side, time passed peacefully, while on the other, bloodshed raged like wildfire.

Yue Hongling’s cultivation also grew fiercely as she worked to make up for the deficiencies of her past self.

The "Eternal Reversal Sutra" was a battle-based technique that required constant combat, growing stronger with every defeat, and only by being brave and fearless could one truly comprehend its essence.

In her previous life, Yue Hongling had been too well protected by Lu Ye, and this had made it difficult for her to break through in the later stages.

It was only when Lu Ye made the hard decision to throw her ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) into a dangerous outer world for training that she was able to recover some of her power.

The human race was fierce.

Yue Hongling had firmly seated herself at the top of the human race, her reputation reaching the ears of the demons, monsters, gods, and even Buddhas.

But as the humans grew fiercer, the environment for other races like the demons grew harsher, making life even more difficult for rogue demons like Feng Wuxie.

He had tried so hard to control his emotions, his tone, but some pleading still slipped into his voice.

"Hongling, I was seriously injured today, but don’t worry. With the Phoenix bloodline, my recovery ability is very strong."

Yue Hongling, upon hearing this, felt a slight nervousness but wasn’t as worried as she expected.

For a cultivator, being injured was completely normal.

"Hongling, the situation among the demons is becoming increasingly strange. Every demon has become a little mad, and I feel my situation is getting very dangerous."

"Hongling, can I come to you? I really want to come to you now. As long as I’m by your side, I’ll do whatever you ask."

"Sorry, I’m just too anxious and too lonely. I’ve heard your name more than once already. You’re just too strong."

"I’ve been seriously injured again. The demons are also clashing with the Buddhist and Divine races, and the demon-controlled blessed lands are starting to shrink further."

Yue Hongling had just finished a battle.

It was against a son of the gods, at the fifth layer of Breaking Infant, with the powerful bloodline of the Thunder God. Yue Hongling had spent a lot of effort to defeat him.

Looking at her charred body, Yue Hongling frowned slightly. The Heavenly Pills weren’t as strong as the Holy Pills from her previous life.

She took out the conch-shaped magical artifact.

"Hongling, Hongling, can you say something to me?"

"I haven’t heard you speak in so long."

Yue Hongling realized that she had been so focused on her recent battles that she hadn’t seen Feng Wuxie in a long time.

She hadn’t even spoken to him once.

She picked up the conch, trying to soften her tone as much as possible.

"Keep cultivating. With your Phoenix bloodline, as long as you work hard, we’ll eventually stand side by side, fighting across the world. I believe in you!"

After saying that, Yue Hongling calmed herself, closed her eyes, and resumed her cultivation.

"Boom!"

Feng Wuxie’s body was violently kicked away, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The Little Dragon King, with a human body and a dragon’s head, coldly and fiercely stared at Feng Wuxie.

"With someone like you, you still have the nerve to say that Yue Hongling likes you? Look at yourself. Do you even deserve it?"
