The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"Do you need my help?" Lang Qi stood up, his light body seemed not to have fully materialized yet.

Hu Xingtong took a glance, and a white spiritual energy overflowed from his hand, surrounding the four monsters of Langqi. The next moment, the four monsters were flashing with spiritual light of different colors, representing the gradually rising spiritual energy of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Finally, when the four demons were still unable to move, Hu Xingtong pulled out a strand of crimson silk from his chest and solemnly handed it to Langqi, saying, "This is everything I've seen and heard in this life. It's the thread of my emotions. With this, it will help you transform faster in your next life. You won't be like you are now, like nothing."

"Of course, I have to help you with the final step of your transformation. I have to get my love thread back, otherwise it will affect your transformation."

Hu Xingtong turned to Qingyue, a hint of apology flashing in his eyes: "Qingyue, I know that what I did makes you very worried, but I have no other choice. I must try, even if there is only a glimmer of hope."

"So, in my next life... I should also look for you first. I'd like to ask you to show me the way. Of course, don't be too nice to me. I don't think I'll be as steady as I am in this life. Perhaps I'll be just a child playing house, not capable of handling things. If possible, give me a good lesson."

"If I can achieve some accomplishments, I will be qualified to regain my love. When that happens, please help me and let me know everything that is happening now."

"All I can give you now is the ability to speed up time. From now on, regardless of this life or the next, you will be able to cultivate even faster."

After saying this, Hu Xingtong watched himself being drained of his emotions and entrusted them to Langqi's hands. The moment the thread of love was pulled out, Hu Xingtong seemed to have lost all his passion and motivation. The desperate and empty look in his eyes made the four demons feel distressed.

……

When he opened his eyes again, the scene just now lingered in Hu Xingtong's eyes for a long time, as if it were a dream from another lifetime.

[Xingxing, after finding Langqi, you should be able to unlock all your memories. Are you ready?]

"All the memories. I'm even more curious about what it would be like if I could get back the love from my previous life."

[Oh no! Your Daoist aspirations in your previous life were different from this one. Your personalities are similar, but you were more resolute in your previous life. Of course, your temper was also more explosive. I heard from Yu Chi that those who play with fire tend to have bad tempers.]

"But why are my emotions my own, and not some kind of love? The emotions I see in TV dramas are all about love."

[In the world rules you set, love refers to the emotions of all things, not just a single emotion.]

"Then why can I still be emotional in this life? I have friendship, family and even all kinds of emotions. I don't feel like I have lost anything." I don't understand. Obviously, I am still a person with emotions. According to what Chen Wu said, I should be a ruthless killer without emotions.

What are you imagining? The lingering emotions you left behind from your past life are centuries of affection. As the successor to the Heavenly Dao, your path of compassion for life was even deeper than Ye Nanhe and Zuo Ya's. Therefore, your feelings towards the world are also complex. Because of this, those emotions influence you, making you more responsible and more accountable, but... they also make your life very tiring.

The reason we're letting you take back that part of your emotions is because we want you to understand your past life and compare it to how different you are in this life. It's fair to say that this life is far worse than your past life. Everything you have in this life is created by us, and even by your previous life before that. Very little of your own is yours. Therefore, we all hope that you'll examine the memories of your past life and choose your own path.

Although theoretically, if you don't succeed in this life, there's always another chance. We all hope you can succeed in this one. After all, the more times you reincarnate, the greater the impact on you. Your passion and consciousness will slowly fade in the endless cycles, even becoming assimilated into this world. Perhaps, in the end, you won't be yourself anymore, but just one of the countless NPCs, or a speck of dust.

Hu Xingtong fell silent. She had never imagined the truth of reincarnation could be so cruel. She had always believed herself to be an independent individual, with her own emotions and choices, but now she began to doubt whether she truly possessed free will, or was merely a puppet controlled by her past life.

"Xingxing, you don't have to worry too much. Everyone's existence has its own unique meaning." Chen Wu's voice seemed to carry a hint of comfort. "Although your emotions and choices are influenced by your past life, they still belong to you."

Hu Xingtong took a deep breath. She didn't want to and couldn't be bound by her previous life. She was herself, and naturally she had to live her own wonderful life.

……

The cold demon who has not yet successfully transformed is not easy to find. The world is so big, wherever there is wind, there is the cold demon. She can be in all parts of the world, or she can be safe in one place.

But Chen Wu said that Lang Qi possessed the time laws left by himself in his previous life, so he would be able to feel it as long as he had contact with her.

But in this vast world, how can I contact an invisible monster?

Standing on a mountain top, this is the place where Hu Xingtong can feel the most wind, but there is no Langqi here.

"Xingxing, I roasted a rabbit, come and try it." Lingxian took two skewers of roasted rabbit, put one in front of Hu Xingtong, and carefully picked the meat from the other one and fed it to Yan Hui bit by bit.

"Does Xinghui not eat meat?" Hu Xingtong asked Lingxian when he saw Xinghui sitting beside a beast and eating fruit.

"Monkey beasts probably don't eat meat. She's been eating spiritual fruits all the way here."

"That's fine. I have plenty of spiritual fruits anyway. I can eat any kind of them. I don't know if I can become a little stronger or bigger after eating them." Hu Xingtong touched Xinghui's head and thought about what Xinghui would look like when he grew up. Could he look like Sun Wukong?

"Do you really want it to grow up?" Ling Xian paused his fleshy hand and asked curiously.

Hu Xingtong shook her head, then nodded. She wanted Xinghui and Yanhui to grow up so that she could see the two little guys grow up earlier, but she didn't want them to grow up too fast and lose their childhood early.

"I don't think so. I just think that if I'm not around them anymore, they'll be able to protect themselves sooner if they grow up."

Hearing this, Ling Xian pursed his lips, and the movement of his hands tearing the flesh became much slower. Hu Xingtong knew what he was thinking, but she didn't dare to make any promises too early.

[Xingxing, the contract you signed with Lingxian was the one I gave you, right?]

"Yes what's the matter?"

[Then you can just tell him directly that even if you leave, he and you are still bound together. He can be by your side as long as you wish. Of course, if you want, you can also make the same contract with Xing Hui and Yan Hui. Then, even if you return to the three-dimensional world, they can also ascend with you.]
