The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Yu Bingwen and Qingwu exchanged a glance, realizing that it wasn't that he didn't want to go out, but rather that he couldn't. This was a good opportunity to break through.

"Since he can't leave, he must feel very lonely staying here all the time! Let's find a way to take him away!"

It must be said that these two, master and nephew, really have a tacit understanding, and both of them thought of the key to the problem at the same time.

Yu Bingwen transmitted his voice, "Uncle-Master, would you like to hear a story from a storybook?"

Qingwu transmitted her voice, "What? What time is it, and you're still thinking about storybooks? You really understand your martial uncle!"

Qingwu was first surprised and doubtful, then she made a serious accusation, and finally her tone turned malicious. It was truly a series of reversals! You never know what she'll say next.

Actually, Qingwu felt a little confused. Was this kid going to give up? Just as she thought this, she glanced at Li Minghan next to her and seemed to understand something.

Qingwu transmitted her voice, "Okay! I'll cooperate with you!"

Li Minghan, standing to the side, turned pale because he realized that his spiritual energy waves seemed to be interfered with by something, and he could no longer hear the two people's thoughts.

He didn't know that Yu Bingwen possessed the Mountain and Sea Divine Stone, which could absorb and neutralize all spiritual energy attacks. In particular, this kind of spiritual energy wave was simply a "tonic" delivered to his door, so how could he refuse it?

Yu Bingwen knew about this matter long ago, so he boldly discussed it with Qingwu next to him. Anyway, those with high strength could detect their telepathic communication, but even the strongest could not hear the content of their telepathic communication.

That's why the old man could openly and confidently transmit his voice next to him, planning to find a way to lure Li Minghan out with them.

Qingwu coughed and said, "Since we can't get out, let's just lie down and enjoy ourselves!"

After saying that, he got up, turned around and walked to the tatami mat, where he lay down and took out various delicious snacks and placed them next to him.

Yu Bingwen also consciously moved a small stool over and sat not far from her, and poured himself a cup of tea and placed it next to her.

Li Minghan was still completely bewildered, wondering what they were doing.

Thinking to myself, "Has he pushed himself too far and is he just giving up? Is he not trying to escape anymore? He's actually enjoying life here! Why isn't he behaving the way he should be?"

Then, to his puzzled gaze, Yu Bingwen took out all sorts of storybooks that his martial uncle had bought from his own space, randomly selected one, and started reading!

On the other hand, Qingwu listened with great interest, taking out chestnuts, osmanthus cakes, and melon seeds from the side, and occasionally taking a sip of tea.

Li Minghan got so engrossed in listening that he moved a small stool and sat down near Yu Bingwen and Qingwu, especially since he could smell the delicious aroma emanating from the side.

Seeing Qingwu eating with relish, he wanted some too, and without any hesitation, he reached out and grabbed some! After taking a bite, his eyes lit up, and then his hand didn't stop.

Qingwu watched his practiced movements, speechless, and interrupted, "Wait, you've almost finished eating all my food! Weren't you going to leave us here? You should be the one entertaining us, not eating my food!"

Li Minghan has lived for who knows how long, how could he not know their tricks? But he was in a good mood, with a strange sense of satisfaction. Qingwu was cursing beside him, which made him eat even more happily!

Seeing that he didn't speak or pay attention to her, and was happily eating, Qingwu gritted her teeth in anger.

He kept cursing in his mind, "What does this mean? Is he ignoring what she says? Why is he happier the more he curses? He's a complete pervert! Calm down, you can't beat this idiot, getting angry will only hurt you!"

Qingwu stared intently at Li Minghan, who ignored her and continued eating.

Seeing him like this, Qingwu grew angrier and angrier, so she simply turned away and ignored him. Out of sight, out of mind. She couldn't beat him in a fight, and when he said she was cursing him, he acted as if he hadn't heard. He was so shameless! This was Qingwu's most comprehensive assessment of him.

Li Minghan noticed that Yu Bingwen was also looking at him, not reading from his notebook, and felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He began, "Go on! What's next? Tell us, tell us!"

Qingwu was so angry at his shameless appearance that she didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned her head away.

Yu Bingwen asked with a conflicted expression, "Do you really want to know?"

Li Minghan said with an unhappy expression, "Nonsense! I was just getting to the exciting part!"

Yu Bingwen stated bluntly, "To find out what happens next, please look forward to the publication of the third volume!"

Li Minghan asked with a puzzled look, "Huh? That's all?"

Yu Bingwen nodded heavily and said, "That's all. This is the second volume. I haven't had time to buy the third volume yet. It's expected to be published this month."

Li Minghan slumped down completely.

Seeing this, Qingwu cheered inwardly; they had finally taken the bait!

Turning to look at Li Minghan, she said, "Do you still want to see what happens next? Don't you want to come with us to the scene and watch the drama unfold? After all, art imitates life. We hear a lot of bizarre gossip every day; it's quite interesting."

"For example, titles like 'Evil Immortal Lord, Don't Be Arrogant, Junior Sister Has Emerged from Seclusion,' 'Senior Brother, You're So Poisonous, the Entire Sect Was Tricked into Testing Poison,' 'My Junior Brother is a Sage of Sin,' and 'Junior Sister Has Gone Mad Again' are all adapted from true stories. Even the titles are very close to the real events. Isn't that thoughtful? You'll understand them as soon as you read them."

"There are also melodramatic love triangles! For example, the Lord of Minhai City married someone he didn't like, and after marriage he subjected her to all kinds of emotional abuse. His wife couldn't stand it and ran away."

"But then he encountered the former Holy Son who had been expelled from the Hehuan Sect, and fell in love with him at first sight. He relentlessly pursued him, wanting him to help him escape. Unexpectedly, the Lord of Minhai City later realized that he had done something wrong, and that husband and wife should live in harmony. Thus, he began his journey to win back his wife."

"And then guess what happened?"

Li Minghan listened intently, his eyes wide open, just like the general public who were watching the drama unfold.

He asked, still dazed, "How did it go? Did you beat up that former Holy Son and win back your wife?"

Qingwu said with a profound and inscrutable expression, "No, no, no, no! That's too narrow-minded!"

Then, when he opened his mouth as if to say something, he said, "I'm a little thirsty; talking has made my mouth dry."

Li Minghan had been listening with a sincere expression, but then he was pulled like this. But was he the kind of person who would be stingy? Obviously not. How could he possibly shortchange her on a cup of water?

Immediately, she produced a cup of tea from somewhere and placed it directly in front of Qingwu. Qingwu picked up the tea and took a sip.

Before he could say anything, Li Minghan urged, "You've had your tea, hurry up and tell us!"

Seeing his anxious and distressed expression, Qingwu was very satisfied.

She thought to herself, "You little brat! I'll show you what I'm made of!"

He coughed, suppressing the smile that was playing on his lips, and continued, "When the City Lord of Minhai caught up with them, the three of them confronted each other on the spot, and two of them even started fighting. Unexpectedly, the former Holy Son of the Hehuan Sect won the fight and said he would make demands."

"The demand was that the Lord of Minhai City divorce his current wife. The Lord of Minhai City knew that he was not as skilled as others and could not blame anyone else, so he wrote a divorce agreement."

"But I was really reluctant to let him go, so I said I could grant him one more request, as long as he was good to his wife!"

"His wife was quite moved at first, after all, the person she loved had actually won for her sake. Before she could even be happy, she heard that the former Holy Son had directly rejected her, saying that he had fallen in love with the Lord of Minhai City."

"The Lord of Minhai City was terrified. The former Holy Son said that they became friends after fighting, and even developed feelings for each other. He felt that the Holy Son was very loyal and had noble qualities, and that the Holy Son met his ideal type of Daoist partner."

"Although he was a man, he didn't expect it. But the cultivation world is so vast, there are still cases of male Daoist couples being together, though they are few and far between. Seeing the former Holy Son's insistence, the wife of the Minhai City Lord... oh, I should say ex-wife, cried her heart out."

"I never expected that what I thought was a perfect match would turn into a tragic love affair for my ex-husband. Sigh!"

Qingwu sighed, then took another sip of tea.

Li Minghan was completely engrossed in listening, feeling extremely curious. Although the relationships were a bit complicated, he still felt like he had heard some explosive, earth-shattering gossip. This storybook was much more interesting.

Li Minghan was very curious about what would happen next, and then asked, "And then! Did they all get together?"

Qingwu nearly spat out her tea, raising her voice in surprise, "You've been trapped here for so many years, and your thinking is so progressive?"

Li Minghan looked at her with a profound and inscrutable expression, and said, "You wouldn't understand, would you? Even though I'm trapped here, my mind can still keep up with you!"

Qingwu rolled her eyes and said, "That's all! There are so many things you don't know yet. For example, the ending just now wasn't what you expected!"

Li Minghan pondered with a serious expression, as if he wanted to say something else.

Yu Bingwen immediately spoke up, afraid that the other party would say something surprising that would lead them astray.

"Since the Lord of Minhai City couldn't win the fight and couldn't escape, he could only seek protection from a master, but no one wanted to get involved in this mess."

"Finally, in order to make him give up the idea of ​​becoming his Daoist partner, he went to his ex-wife to seek reconciliation, in order to put an end to his thoughts."

"His ex-wife was also very unwilling, so she agreed to cooperate with him and act out a sweet scene of him successfully winning back his wife."

"Unexpectedly, the reason why the former Holy Son was expelled from the sect was because his actions were incomprehensible to everyone, and it could even be said that he went too far by any means necessary."

"It would take a lot of effort for the Hehuan Sect to cripple him. Fortunately, he had too many troublesome matters to attend to in his immortal sect, so he directly requested to be stripped of his position as Holy Son, leave the sect, and travel the world."

"So, he directly used threats and inducements to make the wife of the Lord of Minhai City leave on her own, so that he could take advantage of the situation. But how could the Lord of Minhai City not know all this, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only continue to play the role of chasing after his wife in order to escape!"

Qingwu continued, "That's right! This is a classic case of her running away and him chasing, and they both have no way to escape! How about that? Isn't it exciting? Don't you want to go out and see the show for yourself?"

Li Minghan nodded, then shook his head.

Qingwu was completely dumbfounded, and said with her mouth agape, "Hey bro, what's going on with you? You're nodding and shaking your head at the same time."

Li Minghan glanced at her, then at Yu Bingwen beside her. Both of them had eyes full of doubt, their faces saying, "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

He twitched his lips and said nonchalantly, "Because I can't leave here. Otherwise, I would have left long ago. Why would I stay in this godforsaken place?"

Qingwu asked in confusion, "We can't get out? Why is that?"

Li Minghan was thinking that he also wanted to go out and see what was going on. Although these two seemed unreliable, how could he possibly place his hopes on two useless good-for-nothings?

He sensed Yu Bingwen's powerful aura as soon as he entered the place, and even with his strength, he couldn't predict his fate. Everyone's destiny is predetermined, but he seemed to be a variable.

He became even more certain after meeting Qingwu, because Qingwu also possessed a kind of luck, but compared to Yu Bingwen, it was less than one-tenth of his own.

However, he couldn't even predict her fate. The only thing he could predict was Yu Bingwen's intervention, which meant that Yu Bingwen himself was not only a variable but could also influence other people's destinies.

So he was also taking a gamble, after all, he didn't want you to spend your whole life in this godforsaken place, who knows when he might disappear from this world.

"Because I am incomplete! I don't know where the other part went, I only know that it has dissipated, and I am bound here by the laws."

After speaking, Li Minghan circulated his spiritual energy, and strange red lightning flashed within the black spiritual energy waves.

Looking at the strange scene before him, Yu Bingwen said with a puzzled expression, "Laws? This is the power of laws."

This was the second time he had heard the term, but he was still full of doubts about it. He only knew superficially that it was used to maintain the stability of this world, but he didn't really understand what it meant.

Li Minghan continued, “The laws consist of two parts. One is the Heavenly Dao, and above the Heavenly Dao is the taboo. I am bound to this place by the taboo.”

"And what I possess is the power of law, also known as the forbidden. It is beautiful and powerful. This power is within us, and besides binding us, we can also use it to destroy everything below our cultivation level. At the same stage, we are invincible."

Qingwu also looked solemn. Even she didn't know these things, and she never expected that there would be an existence that surpassed the Heavenly Dao.

Yu Bingwen seemed to have figured something out, and his expression turned even more grim.

He learned the origin of the laws from Gara, and now that the Tree of Life has been decomposed, the workings of this world have been affected, and even the laws themselves have been affected.

To put it bluntly, the laws have weakened, the Heavenly Way has weakened, and the taboos should also weaken. This is truly both good and bad news.

Meanwhile, Li Minghan secretly observed the expressions of the two men. Judging from their demeanor, especially Yu Bingwen, who seemed to know something, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

The three of them were lost in thought, and a silence fell over the room.
