Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 482: Ch 482 – Wishing Peace Upon All Realms II

Seeing the butterfly lady getting weaker with each word, seeming about to die, Ruoning inexplicably felt an strange sense of guilt and remorse.

She thought she might have accidentally killed such a pitiful maiden. In all her years of cultivation, Ruoning had never personally killed anyone. Witnessing a stranger die before her eyes was indeed too shocking for a pampered young lady.

Don’t feel so guilty. You came to save me… You should feel honored. Please don’t feel guilty about parting from a stranger who died a hundred years ago.

“I understand… Please tell me how you want me to help you!”

Being comforted so weakly by the butterfly lady, Ruoning truly felt panicked. She was afraid the other would fail to catch her breath and die right in front of her!

Yino stepped forward, gently stroking Ruoning’s back, and also crouched down to offer care.

“Hehe…”

The butterfly lady’s gaze wandered between their faces before she couldn’t help but laugh softly. However, she soon coughed violently.

She wiped her mouth and, no longer speaking in circles:

“Before my soul dissipates, please absorb my soul.”

“Absorb your soul?”

Ruoning widened her eyes. The unfamiliar term left her somewhat at a loss. After all, no one had ever taught her how to absorb someone else’s soul. And wouldn’t having two souls in one body affect her?

“Don’t worry, I’m just a remnant soul and won’t affect your remaining life.”

“During the time I’m absorbed by you, I will help you unlock the true potential of the Liuli Holy Physique, help you break through this Liuli Illusion Realm’s false tricks, and return to the real world with full rewards…”

“However, in exchange, please return my remnant soul to the coral shores of the East Sea after returning to the real world.”

“The coral shores of the East Sea?”

Ruoning raised her eyebrows slightly, her mind racing to understand the meaning of these words.

“Don’t worry, I know where that place is,” Yino spoke up at the right time.

“But… in that case…”

Ruoning still found it difficult to accept personally sending someone to their final rest.

She looked back at Yino, seeking help, but Yino was also powerless. His eyes dimmed as he quietly watched the butterfly lady before them.

Somehow, the butterfly lady looked up at Ruoning and smiled with satisfaction:

“Please help me… I haven’t had peace for over a hundred years. Please… let my soul return to worldly reincarnation…”

“I… understand!”

Ruoning nodded slowly and couldn’t help but grip the butterfly lady’s cold hand.

With these words, she smiled with relief. She first looked at Ruoning, but when she spoke, she turned to look at Yino beside them.

“My name is Qi Dia. Elder Jing chose this name, it represents a wish for peace throughout all realms…”

“If that uncle still acts like a child, refusing to face reality and venting his anger on you younger generation, please tell him this is Dia’s final wish.”

…

“Dia…”

“Dawn is at hand, hold on a little longer…”

In the Liuli Divine Palace, the figure bearing the title of Dark Abyss Lord supported his forehead, as if sensing something. His expression was pained, and even the crystal pendants on the ceiling of the Liuli Divine Palace were shaking precariously from his demonic energy.

“Dia, wait a little longer. I’m sorry for the trouble… just wait a few more hours for your husband…”

“According to the Divine Abyssal Lord’s guidance, your husband will surely find a turning point for destiny today. There will be a way… As long as the soul hasn’t dissipated, your husband will definitely find a way to rebuild your wings.”

“Then we’ll stop. I’ll take you back to the East Sea. We’ll find an island far from worldly affairs together, so we can return to…”

….

Ancient ruins.

As the butterfly lady’s form scattered grain by grain into colorful brilliance, the last blue candleflame on the nine stone pillars finally fell silent.

The entire ruins hall was pitch black, with only a single spotlight remaining, falling upon Ruoning.

Ding~

A pleasant sound came as a purple orb of light drilled into the depths of Ruoning’s brow.

Ruoning’s beautiful eyes fell into a daze.

The light orb left a butterfly-shaped purple totem at her brow.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, when Ruoning blinked and came back to her senses, her blue eyes had gradually taken on a touch of the butterfly lady ’s ethereal purple charm.

Yino was right beside her, continuously observing her changes.

He could be certain that in that instant, whether it was Ruoning’s hair color, eye color, or her entire aura, even her figure, had all been enhanced with several touches of divine charm from the Liuli Holy Physique by that touch of brilliance.

Ruoning seemed to have aged several years in that instant.

And this was the divine charm and bearing that a daughter of destiny should truly possess!

The purple-gold totem at her brow was like the finishing touch on a dragon painting, making Ruoning’s character no longer limited to the mundane image of a Liu family young lady.

Of course, besides the temperamental changes visible to the naked eye, Yino could also observe that Ruoning’s cultivation had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The immortal aura brought by the Nascent Soul was also one of the factors enhancing Ruoning’s overall complexion.

When Yino first encountered Yuyan, she had that immortal aura where heavenly destiny and the Nascent Soul stage complemented each other, as if every divine gesture, every breath, was already in a different league from ordinary women.

Well…

Good news: my fiancée has grown up and become more beautiful and graceful…

Bad news: my fiancée broke through to Nascent Soul stage. After leaving this secret realm, I might not be able to handle her tsun tsun anymore.

Yuyan originally fell to become an evil sword immortal in the later game’s plot, so I had opportunities to learn her patterns and could anticipate her attacks. But Ruoning was always a righteous cultivator from beginning to end in the game. I never had a chance to face her as an opponent, every move of hers is unpredictable to me…

If I want to tease her in the future, I’m afraid I’ll really get beaten up, then my true nature will be exposed, and our dynamic will completely flip!

Thinking of this, Yino couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

The little girl from the past had grown up, and Yino had to show her more respect now.

“Yino…”

“Did she… just leave like that?”
