Song Yun remained silent on the spot for a long time. She was unwilling to agree to Cheng Xi’s request. Seeing that she had not spoken, Cheng Xi became a little anxious and said, “I was willing to do this. Master, please fulfill my wish.”
A parent’s love for their child was indeed earth-shattering. Song Yun began to feel troubled, hesitating if she should agree to Cheng Xi.
Yunbao’s childish voice said, “But Sister Lily might not want to live like this. Auntie’s sacrifice might make her suffer for the rest of her life.”
Yunbao’s words shocked everyone. Cheng Xi looked at Yunbao and said, “Is that what you think?”
She asked this question with sadness in her eyes. In her opinion, Yunbao was the same as her child, so she cared about what Yunbao said.
Yunbao walked in front of Cheng Xi and said, “I love my mother as much as Sister Lily. We can give up everything for Mom, but if I have to sacrifice Mom’s life to survive, I definitely can’t agree.”
“Sadness is only temporary. As time passes, she will forget about me and live her own life,” Cheng Xi said.
Yunbao shook her head and said, “I will never forget my mother. I’ll miss her every day, and I’ll wish that I died at that time. I don’t want to exchange my mother’s life for my own life. I will always think this way.”
Yunbao’s tone was very firm, telling Cheng Xi that she would never accept such a thing. In Cheng Xi’s ears, it was Lily talking to her, just like how Lily was willing to exchange her for her freedom.
She wanted to trade herself for the child’s life, but she had never thought about whether the child was willing to accept it. If Lily was really as Yunbao said, then Lily would live in self-reproach for the rest of her life, and she would never let herself be happy.
Because she thought that she would never deserve a happy life because of the blood debt that killed her mother.
Cheng Xi could only hug Lily tightly as tears kept falling. She muttered, “Then what do you want Mommy to do? Watch you die?”
Yunbao turned to look at Song Yun and said, “Master, if Sister Lily’s problem is that she lacks a soul, can we let her obtain a soul herself and repair it?”
Song Yun thought for a moment and said, “This sounds like a solution, but repairing the soul is not a simple matter. Not only does one have to have a high cultivation level, but they also have to be able to suppress the collected souls until they fuse. This method can only be used by a wizard with a high cultivation level.”
Cheng Xi said as if she had found a life-saving straw, “But this method is feasible, right?”
Song Yun nodded under her expectant gaze, making Cheng Xi ecstatic. As long as there was a trace of hope, she would not give up on Lily.
“I will definitely urge Lily to cultivate well. As long as she works hard, she will definitely reach the realm that Master mentioned and let her repair her soul herself.” Cheng Xi smiled.
Facing a mother’s last hope, Song Yun did not want to expose it. However, repairing the soul was not an easy thing. If she did not say it now, she was afraid that Cheng Xi would still be happy for nothing.
Unexpectedly, Yunbao stood up and said, “Sister Lily can cultivate first. I can also convert Devon’s lifespan into energy for Sister Lily. This way, I can extend the time.”
Gu Teng couldn’t help but say, “l i m afraid Devon won’t be willing to give up his lifespan. This transformation requires both of us to be willing.”
Yunbao said simply, “There’s no need for him to be willing. I’ll take out his lifespan and transfer it to Sister Lily.”
Thinking of how Yunbao’s bloodline had been passed down, Song Yun thought about the feasibility of this method and said, “Yunbao doesn’t need the other party’s permission to absorb energy. If we do this, it should be possible.”
At this moment, Cheng Xi felt as if she had heard the sound of nature. As long as there was a way to let Lily live, she would do anything, not to mention that she had long wanted Devon to die. She did not feel sorry at all for using his lifespan to save Lily.
“Then let’s quickly capture Devon and let him contribute his lifespan to Lily.”
Cheng Xi’s tone was very excited, and one could hear how excited she was. Gu Teng also began to ask, “When can we capture Mao Feng?”
Gu Qingshan and the others immediately went to do the search. They started to draw red crosses on the map to mark the places they had searched.
Mao Feng and Devon were hiding under the bridge hole, worrying about dinner. Chen Yue had not returned, and the two of them did not have money.
They had used the remaining money to buy things. Now, they could be said to be penniless..
