Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1849: Chapter 1845: Silence Is the Greatest Respect

Xue An listened quietly, saying nothing.

Li Jingxing gave him a bitter smile, "Am I foolish for thinking this way?"

"Of course not!" Xue An said earnestly, then poured tea for Li Jingxing.

"Tell me, if you’re willing."

Li Jingxing picked up the teacup, his eyes dazed as he watched the tea leaves floating up and sinking down in the cup. After a long silence, he finally spoke softly.

"I think you probably guessed it; she belongs to the Phoenix Remnant Clan. By her generation, the Phoenix Clan had shrunk to only her."

"When I met her according to Human Clan standards, she was only seventeen or eighteen, an age full of innocence and joy."

"But she was so different, especially her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, yet were wary of everything, both strong and fragile."

At these words, Li Jingxing’s face took on a look of reminiscence. "The first time I saw her, I was struck. A voice inside told me to protect her, regardless of any cost."

Li Jingxing laughed self-deprecatingly and said to Xue An, "Isn’t it ridiculous?"

Xue An sighed softly, "Of course not!"

In fact, Xue An understood this feeling very well.

Because Sword Cultivators need a clear heart, devoid of distractions, they either remain emotionless or become extreme once they feel.

A light shone in Li Jingxing’s eyes, "Those were my happiest days, even just seeing her each day gave meaning to everything. If only the story could have continued like that!"

Li Jingxing’s expression darkened. "But change always comes unexpectedly. On that day, she suddenly broke up with me. I didn’t understand why, because just the night before, she was fine. I asked her, but she said nothing, only gave me a cold stare!"

"In despair, I left furiously. At the time, I was really foolish, entirely failing to understand why she did it. It wasn’t until later that I found out...."

Li Jingxing’s voice became strange, as if choking with emotion, yet filled with deep hatred.

"She was burdened with a terrifying curse. To keep me from worrying, she intentionally drove me away."

"After discovering the truth, I frantically searched for her and finally found her on an abandoned planet. She was extremely weak, but when she saw me, she struggled to say one thing. Do you know what she said?"

Xue An shook his head in silent speechlessness.

"She said, ’You’re so foolish. I made you leave because I didn’t want you to see me die. Why would you do this?’"

Tears glistened in Li Jingxing’s eyes.

"After saying those words, she passed out. I was utterly crazed at that time, trying every method I knew but still couldn’t remove her curse. Later, I learned that this curse came from her own bloodline, meaning the entire Phoenix Clan was cursed. This is why the Phoenix Clan perished all of a sudden."

"Finally, I thought of a solution, building the White Bone Sword Mountain on a lifeless planet to isolate the curse and delay her injuries."

"But it was only a delay; I could only watch as her condition worsened day by day, from being unconscious for an hour each day to almost never waking, until finally, she made a request during her last conscious moment."

At this point, Li Jingxing could no longer continue, as tears silently covered his cheeks.

Xue An silently refilled the tea, placing it in front of Li Jingxing, then softly said, "Did she ask you to kill her?"

Li Jingxing nodded, choking, "She said life was too hard, enduring endless pain every day, and the solitude from her bloodline was unbearable, so she only sought death."

"You don’t know the longing look in her eyes when she said those words, so I strangled her with my own hands!"

As he reached this point, Li Jingxing’s tone unexpectedly turned calm, without a ripple, "At the moment of her death, her eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, as if finally relieved, filled with infinite joy."

"She died, strangled by my own hands in my embrace."

The quietness of the teahouse allowed the sound of boiling water in the teapot to be heard.

Xue An watched the man bowing his head with full sympathy.

He couldn’t fully empathize but felt a chill just imagining the scene, so he could only remain silent.

For at this moment, silence was the highest form of respect.

"Later, I tried every way to resurrect her, even mixing my flesh with hers to catalyze, hoping to birth our child, but in the end, only created a pair of faint-blooded fake Phoenixes! Those are the twin Phoenixes you saw!"

"I was utterly in despair then, ready to accompany her for the rest of my life, but then I felt the appearance of the Emperor Flowing Pulp. Knowing its miraculous effects, I came here recklessly! You know what happened afterward."

Xue An nodded.

Li Jingxing smiled, "Do you know why I finally gave up?"

"Because your daughter’s words were very right, my so-called kindness was actually the greatest cruelty to her!"

"Her kinsfolk were all dead, and she was alone in the world, plus the torment of the curse, she probably wanted to die long ago. Because of my ridiculous persistence, she suffered years more of torture. I am such a bastard!"

At this point, Li Jingxing began to bang his head.

Xue An raised his hand to stop him, sternly shouting, "Enough! Do you think this self-torture will make you feel any better? What you need to think about now is how to avenge her!"

"Revenge?" Li Jingxing was startled, lifting his head with a face full of confusion, looking at Xue An.

"Exactly, revenge! Didn’t she die because of the curse? You should find out who cursed the Phoenix Clan, then seize him and avenge your woman and the entire Phoenix Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxing’s eyes shone brightly, his body started to tremble, "Yes! I should seek revenge! It wasn’t me who killed her, it was the person who cursed her!"

He murmured foolishly, suddenly lifting his head with sincerity and said to Xue An, "Thank you for your reminder, I understand now!"

Xue An also exhaled a long breath. He really feared Li Jingxing might go to extremes due to excessive stimulation.

After all, given his Sword Dao Cultivation, if he went mad, the turmoil it would cause would be unimaginable.

Li Jingxing finally let go of this emotional burden, and his whole aura became calm.

If previously, Li Jingxing was like an unsheathed sharp sword, matchlessly sharp but dangerous to himself and others, he now had sheathed his sword, his aura becoming gentle.
