This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Seeing the two slow down and walk towards her with warm expressions, Lianxue unconsciously relaxed her furrowed brows, smiled, and looked at them nonchalantly.

The two approached, exchanged words, and looked at each other. Then the man gestured for the woman to speak, and the woman understood and squatted down next to Lianxue.

Lianxue looked at the other person with a blank expression, waiting for her to say something next, but she also knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

The woman's voice was soft and sweet, like a nectar, "Young Brother Ye, well, you saw it too, how high is the defense of that strange-looking snoring beast, right?"

Lianxue nodded in agreement, indicating that she had seen it and that it was indeed as she had said.

The woman's smile widened. "So you know how complicated things are now..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lianxue said, "Then I won't share the stuff with you. You can teach me later if you want, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry..."

The woman was annoyed by being interrupted and wanted to reprimand him, but what he said next left her stunned. She thought, "What is this? We have to divide things up? I'm so angry!" Then she heard him say, "No rush." ​​How could she not be in a rush?

Her mind raced, she wanted to get angry, but she forced herself to hold it back. She turned to look at the man, their eyes met, and the woman touched the corner of her mouth with her hand. Then she looked back at Lianxue and said in a gentler tone, "You see, we'll keep our word about what we taught you. But right now, we need to deal with the Four-Unlikes Snore Beast first, right?"

Lianxue feigned ignorance and asked, "Then how do we solve this? Do you have any ideas, or are you planning to give up?"

Seeing that Lianxue was on the right track, the woman stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Indeed, I have a not-so-good idea, but..." She stopped there and looked at Lianxue's reaction.

The man behind her also kept his eyes fixed on Lian Xue, afraid that she might try to escape. He was prepared to capture her at any time, which would make things more complicated. However, if he agreed, things would be relatively easier. That's why the two of them spoke to Lian Xue so calmly.

Lian Xue glanced at the man, then focused her gaze on the person in front of her. "But what, are you really planning to give up and leave?"

The woman nearly fainted from anger. What do you mean by giving up? Why can't she let go of giving up? She forced herself to remain calm and suppressed her anger. "How could I? Why would I give up such a good opportunity?"

Lianxue tilted her head back, asking earnestly, "What is that?"

The woman was satisfied this time. "It's just that I still need to trouble you. You have to understand that there are only three strange-looking snoring beasts living here. Encountering even one is already an incredible stroke of luck. How can we give up? It is people like you who can help break through its defenses. So do you understand?"

This time, the woman didn't give Lianxue any chance to cause trouble. She finished speaking in one sentence and then waited to see how Lianxue would react.

The man's hand was already gripping his weapon, his eyes fixed on Lian Xue, almost radiating murderous intent. Fortunately, he withdrew his grip in time, only letting a trace leak out.

However, even this slight aura affected the four-legged beast resting on the rock. A faint red halo appeared around its body.

Upon seeing this, the woman gave the other person a reproachful look, a warning, before turning back.

Lian Xue also sensed the murderous aura. After all, she was a talisman master, and like alchemists, she needed high mental strength, so she easily detected it. However, she did not show it on her face and still looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Sister, please speak frankly. If I can do it, I will certainly not let you down." Lianxue's tone was sincere, completely conveying a sense of "I would go through fire and water for you."

Hearing Lianxue's words, the two relaxed completely, and their tone lost its previous gentleness. "Alright, then we'll have to trouble you. After the red light of the Qilin-like Snore Beast dissipates, a portal will appear. There are several checkpoints inside. You will need to enter and break through them. After that, the Qilin-like Snore Beast will obey your commands."

Lianxue hesitated, then looked up. "Then..."

The man spoke up, "Don't worry, if it chooses you as its master, we won't steal your opportunity." He didn't say the last part: after you break through the barrier, they can forcibly take it away while you're weak.

The ruthless glint in the man's eyes, known only to his companions, revealed his determination to succeed and his contempt for Lian Xue.

Lianxue looked reluctant to leave. "What if I can't come back? I'll never see my brother and sister again. What should I do? I'm so reluctant to leave!" She lowered her head with a sad expression, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was truly pitiful and charming. The man's originally ruthless heart trembled for a moment. The woman glared at him, and the man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "How could that be? That was just a test. It won't really kill you, so we will still meet."

Lianxue raised her head, a bright smile on her face, "That's great, otherwise I... I really..." She then burst into tears of joy.

The man feigned sympathy and pulled Lianxue into his arms, stroking her head. "Don't worry, we'll wait for you."

Lianxue was very resistant to the other party, but she had no choice but to finish the play, otherwise it would be too boring, right?

"Okay, I will definitely come back safely."

The woman held Lianxue's hand. "Yes, we'll wait for you to return safely."

Those unaware of the situation would surely think this is a touching scene of three affectionate people longing for their family's safe return, but is that really the case?

The red light disappeared after a while, and a narrow hole, only the height of a child, appeared.

The two women couldn't hide their glee, nor would they try, because they were about to succeed.

With a reluctant expression, the woman held Lianxue's hand, saying, "Take care, we'll be waiting for you."

The man touched his head and said, "Go ahead, be careful."

Lianxue's eyes welled up with tears of emotion. "Brother and sister, I don't want to go. I can't bear to leave you..."

The two, who had been looking at each other with affection, immediately became serious. They couldn't not go. They had been acting with each other for so long, how could they not go? Pretending to be casual, a gust of wind swept by, and before Lian Xue could even utter a sound, she had already entered the circle of light and disappeared.

The woman swung her arm, "I didn't expect such a little brat to be so troublesome. If it weren't for the fact that I'm useful, I would have killed him long ago."

The man put his arm around the woman's slender waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and smiled, "Don't worry, she'll be out of the picture after this. Don't forget she used poison before..."

No more words were spoken here; only laughter and joy remained.

Lianxue entered a strange place this time. How strange? At first, she thought she had finally escaped, but before she could even feel happy, she hadn't even had time to be happy.

I could see the surrounding environment clearly. There was a sense of oppression in the air, unlike the pressure at Shifeng. It was as if it was oppressing my soul and spirit.

The surrounding barren land and animal carcasses created a truly horrifying scene.
