Chapter 883 (Vol 3) – You Really Know Who My One & Only Longed-For & Special Person Is!

Ling Tian looked straight into the eyes of this primordial heart holy maiden, not conveying any feelings of guilt or remorse. 

Her gaze, her expression, her demeanor, even her aura had changed slightly, as if she had become a slightly different person but still the same in the end. 

"Do you think I'm doing wrong, Hongmeng?" Ling Tian asked faintly. 

At this moment, Ling Tian was certain that this primordial heart holy maiden, who was another piece of the remnant soul, was the same Luo Hongmeng who he interacted in the secret realm. 

"Now I know that you have your personal motives..." Luo Hongmeng spoke lightly, looking at Ling Tian directly in the same manner, while a small, gentle smile formed on her face. 

Ling Tian watched her and he let out a faint smile as well. Luo Hongmeng's smile was exactly the same smile she gave him in that illusion of the world of the heart, the same one that remained at the end before disappearing. 

The shaking of the hongmeng pagoda in his sea of consciousness had let out a portion of spiritual force, presumably Luo Hongmeng's spirit soul essence from the secret realm that was temporarily left in the pagoda, so she recovered the memories and recollections of that time, knowing who Ling Tian was. 

"It's just that this kid is the child of the heavens, the child of prophecy..." 

Luo Hongmeng looked at Xiao Chen and Ziu Momo, noticing that their breaths were somewhat unsteady and they had several internal injuries, especially Xiao Chen upon executing a secret forbidden technique and forced his cultivation to increase, resulting in some of his meridians being shattered. 

However, Xiao Chen and Ziu Momo were completely out of danger, and neither would die despite their appearances. 

The name Chen, a descendant of the Xiao family, was one of the people most likely to become the world's hero and ascend to higher worlds. 

"Do you think I would kill your long-awaited person that you have waited for a long time?" Ling Tian smirked lightly, as if he was mocking Luo Hongmeng, at the same time not knowing if he was really referring to Xiao Chen. 

This boy is a beloved son of heaven, and could not die easily. If Ling Tian really tried to kill him, something strange and unusual would happen. 

Even Ling Tian would not doubt that some true immortal would descend and attack him for some unknown reason. 

Whenever he tried to kill some of these blessed children of heaven in the past something unexpected would happen. So Ling Tian had to swallow some losses when he sacrificed some cultivation resources because of them. 

Therefore, Ling Tian just took a little revenge on Xiao Chen for past grievances with his kind. 

Luo Hongmeng narrowed her eyes as she listened to Ling Tian's words, with a slightly strangely angry expression, looking as if she was annoyed. 

"You really know who my one and only longed-for and special person is..." Luo Hongmeng said softly, with a slight and almost imperceptible pout forming on her face. 

Ling Tian looked at her but said nothing, clearly noticing Luo Hongmeng's feelings in her eyes. But a faint gentle smile appeared on his face at once. 

A strange silence formed in the place, with Luo Hongmeng smiling softly at the sight of Ling Tian, appreciating and observing that face she had seen for a long time. 

Yang Jing was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what she was hearing. 

Son of the heavens? Child of prophecy? They were referring to her big brother Xiao Chen? 

Yang Jing could not quickly understand what was going on, her gaze shifted from Ling Tian to Luo Hongmeng, noticing their changing expressions and tones of voice. 

It seemed that this primordial heart holy maiden was behaving strangely as if she was this man's wife. 

The holy maiden knew this young man who had seriously injured her brother? That would explain why she didn't intercede for her brother and try to stop Ling Tian from doing all this. 

"It seems like you really went through a lot in that war..." Ling Tian spoke up and said, "This other piece of spirit soul remnant looks like it was protected by the sect formations." 

Luo Hongmeng's spirit soul remnant from this place was clearly also herself, however she had no knowledge of what had happened all this time nor control of the hongmeng pagoda, being protected only by the forgotten formations of the sect. 

This remnant seemed to also be unaware of what was happening in the world, finally being summoned several days ago according to rumors of the appearance of a goddess of life. 

"It seems so..." Luo Hongmeng nodded and closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again, saying, "I have the same information that what had happened, after this other piece of my soul awakened the war had ended, but it was unaware of what had happened to me and it was unable to contact the pagoda, being trapped in this place and going into a hibernation until someone woke it up again a few days ago. I also don't know if there will be any more remnants of my spirit soul, but with what happened and what I have realized I am sure there will be no more pieces of my soul scattered around." 

Indeed, Ling Tian's thoughts were confirmed. 

"I'll entrust you to the two of them, invent them some story you can think of once they wake up, and be sure they go look for me at the right place." 

Ling Tian took out a few things from his storage ring before storing them in another smaller storage ring, before throwing it to Luo Hongmeng, who in turn quietly caught it. A packet of information in small portion of soul spiritual force emerged from Ling Tian, handing it to Luo Hongmeng as well. 

"Do you want me to make you very bad or mysterious?" Luo Hongmeng smiled somewhat slyly. 

Ling Tian looked at her for a couple of seconds before replying with a wry smile, "Didn't you always make me the bad guy in the story and then you get away with it?" 

"Hehe, I'm just saying~" Luo Hongmeng stuck her tongue out at Ling Tian, smiling slyly amused. 

Ling Tian shook his head helplessly. However, his smile always remained. 

"What will you do with her?" Luo Hongmeng pointed at Yang Jing as her eyes narrowed and with a faint rancorous tone questioned, "Do you really want to make her your tenth, twentieth, thirtieth, or hundredth woman?" 

In the end, a gentle smile that wasn't really a smile appeared on Luo Hongmeng's face looking at Ling Tian. 

Yang Jing couldn't help but be startled again, knowing that they were now talking about her. 

Ling Tian looked at Luo Hongmeng's strange smile and he sighed with a slight chuckle, somehow sensing jealousy from Luo Hongmeng. 

"I may be many things, but a lustful man who only thinks with his lower half never." Ling Tian rolled his eyes. 

What Ling Tian hated the most was this kind of men who would try to snatch any beautiful woman and defile them even when they were partners or wives of other men, feeling a sense of supreme achievement when they succeeded. They seemed like cockroaches, never being able to be exterminated and always finding them in any world. 

Luo Hongmeng's serious gaze lingered on Ling Tian before snorting somewhat resentfully, "I'll believe you this time!" 

Ling Tian clearly had several women, so her words were ironic to himself! 

The more women a man has, the more it shows how lustful and lecherous he is! 

Ling Tian couldn't help but shake his head again, seeing that Luo Hongmeng behaved the same way when it came to what related to his women. 

However, Ling Tian did not correct her or debate with her; Luo Hongmeng would completely disappear once this remnant soul disappeared as well. 

It was somewhat unexpected for him to meet Luo Hongmeng again. 

Ling Tian looked at Yang Jing, noticing how frightened and terrified this girl of about 15 years old was. He raised his hand and directed it towards her. 

Yang Jing's pupils shrank in terror, sensing that Ling Tian had finally made up his mind to do something to her. She closed her eyes in fear. 

* Pat~* 

Feeling a gentle touch on her head, Yang Jing was taken aback before opening her eyes and with much confusion seeing Ling Tian patting her head gently. 

"I won't do anything to you, this was just a test for your brother... sorry for frightening you." Ling Tian smiled slightly with some embarrassment as he apologized to Yang Jing, completely understanding her state of mind. 

Ling Tian took out a blanket and placed it around Yang Jing. Although he had torn off a piece of her dress and it didn't really show something that shouldn't be seen, in the end Ling Tian had torn her dress a little. 

Yang Jing stood silently, stupefaction written all over her face. She subconsciously grabbed the blanket, covering her body. 

"My husb- this man is actually not bad, so you can rest assured that your brother and the girl will be fine." 

Luo Hongmeng's voice was heard at once, quickly correcting her words she was going to say at first. Her gaze remained on Yang Jing, avoiding looking at Ling Tian. 

Ling Tian raised his gaze, watching Luo Hongmeng for a few seconds before looking at Yang Jing again. He did not say anything. 

Yang Jing remained silent, looking at Luo Hongmeng and then at Ling Tian, not believing their words as she realized that the two seemed to be related in some way. 

If Ling Tian really wasn't evil, then why did he do all that to her and attack her brother and Ziu Momo? 

"You have a somewhat special constitution, but you need a certain energy to be able to cultivate. Without that energy you will never be able to enter the cultivation path and you would be a burden to your brother and the others." Ling Tian said directly and straightforwardly, "Do you want to be a burden to your brother and hope that this kind of thing could happen again? Or do you want an event where your strength could be a deciding factor so that your brother doesn't go through this again, do you understand me?" 

Yang Jing was stunned again, listening to Ling Tian's words. 

She really could cultivate? 

It wasn't because she didn't have talent or an acceptable body for cultivation? 

A small spark of hope flickered in Yang Jing's heart, watching her big brother, the desire to protect him and not wanting to see him in this state again flooded her heart. 

"If you really want to cultivate and be able to fight together with your brother then come with me." Ling Tian finally said. 

"How do I know that you are not tricking me into falling into your trap?" 

After pondering deeply, with her brain starting to work quickly once she discovered that these two people didn't seem to want to do anything bad to her, Yang Jing asked somewhat warily. 

This young man's words seemed very attractive and beneficial, so they seemed too good to be true. 

Yang Jing was not a naive or foolish girl; her family pushed her aside when they saw that she could not cultivate and only Xiao Chen stayed with her, promising her that he would find the heavenly pill so that she could cultivate like him. 

Moreover, Yang Jing could clearly remember Ling Tian's evil and lustful look a few moments ago, feeling that it was so real. 

Ling Tian smiled slightly as he saw the look on Yang Jing. 

"Because I didn't kill your brother, and I won't kill him." Ling Tian added shortly, "If you don't believe me, hold this and tell me if you feel something in your body." 

A small pure white snowflake appeared in Ling Tian's hand and he gave it to Yang Jing. 

Hesitating whether to take it for a few seconds, Yang Jing gathered her courage and stretched out her arms, taking the small snowflake in her hands. 

"Huh?" 

Yang Jing exclaimed in a daze as she felt a cold energy cover her body.
