Volume 9, Chapter 29 – Damn It, I’m So Envious!

Tianyin’s profession being Blood Knight was beyond any doubt.

So if the “invader” in front of her was also a Blood Knight, then there had to be a connection between her and Tianyin.

And by an unfortunate coincidence… she was also the creator of the Blood Knight.

With all these facts combined, there was no doubt that the girl in front of her must have some kind of relationship with Tianyin.

Of course… this was Xingyu Muxi’s current judgment. What the actual truth was like, she was not entirely sure. And whether the girl in front of her was truly the founder of the Blood Knight still needed further confirmation. However… the fact that she was a Blood Knight could already be confirmed.

“Why did you come here? What exactly is your purpose?”

Since she was also a Blood Knight like Tianyin, then coming to the Nature Plane for no reason at all must have had some corresponding objective.

After all, no one would blindly make enemies everywhere. And in Xingyu Muxi’s view, the girl in front of her was not foolish. On the contrary, she gave Xingyu Muxi the feeling of someone with very delicate and careful thoughts.

And someone like that would always act with a strong sense of purpose. If it were merely to invade the Nature Plane, then such methods would be far too low-level.

“Oh? I thought we’d have to argue a bit longer. Didn’t expect talking to a smart person to be this easy and convenient.”

Samael was somewhat surprised by how quickly Xingyu Muxi grasped the truth. Of course… Samael had actually been well aware of Xingyu Muxi’s intelligence all along.

“I actually already said it earlier. I didn’t come here with hostile intentions.”

“…”

Indeed, before Xingyu Muxi and Samael started fighting, Samael had said something like that.

However, at that time, Xingyu Muxi had simply treated it as an enemy’s deception and chose to ignore it. That couldn’t really be blamed on Xingyu Muxi. Who could’ve known that Samael was telling the truth back then?

“No hostility? Then what’s your purpose? You can’t have come here without some special goal, right?”

“Mm… I do have some goals.”

Samael nodded straightforwardly in acknowledgment. Then, under Xingyu Muxi’s slightly puzzled gaze, she raised her finger and pointed at Xingyu Muxi.

“Actually, my goal has basically already been achieved. Because… the reason I came here was to find you, Xingyu Muxi.”

‘The invader came here just to find me?’

‘The purpose was me? Then what exactly did she want by finding me?’

For a moment, countless thoughts surged through Xingyu Muxi’s mind.

If it were an ordinary person, they might feel shocked or surprised. But Xingyu Muxi did not have such emotions. Instead, she calmly considered all kinds of possibilities.

‘A Blood Knight… should be related to Xiaoyin, right? And as a Blood Knight herself, her purpose in finding me is also related to Xiaoyin?’

This line of reasoning was admittedly somewhat forced, even lacking logic. But sometimes, intuition was far more reliable than logic.

Just like now. After Samael revealed that her purpose was to find her, Xingyu Muxi subconsciously connected the matter to Tianyin.

And in fact, that was indeed the case.

While Xingyu Muxi was still making her guesses, Samael’s voice sounded once more.

“You should know her, right? That girl named Tianyin.”

“Xiaoyin?”

Hearing this, Xingyu Muxi frowned.

And within her heart, a bad premonition surged up.

“What happened to her?”

“This is rather complicated. Before that, I need to prove my identity first. Because what I’m about to say next, you definitely won’t believe.”

The smarter a person was, the less easily they would choose to believe others.

Such people usually only believed themselves, believed in their own judgment. Even if someone else’s words were correct and their own judgment was wrong, a smart person would still trust the conclusion reached through their own thinking.

So… if the truth was spoken without any foundation of trust, then no matter how eloquent or truthful Samael’s words were, Xingyu Muxi would not choose to believe her.

Moreover, what Samael was about to say concerned something bad about Tianyin. Naturally, Xingyu Muxi would be even less likely to believe it.

After all, people only chose to believe things that were good for them, and would not foolishly believe bad things.

Even smart people were no exception.

Therefore, before speaking the truth, proving her identity was a very necessary step.

“Then who are you exactly? And what’s your relationship with Xiaoyin?”

Since Samael wanted to come clean about her identity, Xingyu Muxi naturally followed up with the question.

“You should’ve already figured out my profession, right? Blood Knight. Of course, what I said earlier was also true. The Blood Knight was indeed established by me personally. To be precise… it was established hundreds of thousands of years ago.”

“Hundreds of thousands of years ago…”

Looking at Samael’s youthful and beautiful face, like that of a young girl in her prime, Xingyu Muxi did not know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the trace of doubt in Xingyu Muxi’s eyes, Samael smiled helplessly.

“You’re curious about my appearance, right? Actually, earlier… my body had already collapsed under the erosion of time. This body now is actually a new one.”

“And before this new body, I had always existed in a state of only possessing a soul. And even earlier than that, I had sealed myself inside a scroll.”

“A scroll?”

“Yes. Inside the scroll, I could ensure that my soul would not dissipate. Not only that, I could also wait for the destined person who would inherit my power.”

After Samael finished saying this, it took Xingyu Muxi only a single second to understand.

“So… that’s how it is…”

“Xiaoyin’s power was given by you. And the abilities of the Blood Knight were also given to her by you, right? So Xiaoyin obtained the Blood Knight, which means she obtained the scroll that housed your soul?”

“Yes.”

Samael admitted it very frankly.

It had to be said that talking with a smart person was indeed quite easy, since it saved a lot of unnecessary words.

“And after Xiaoyin inherited my power, my soul naturally followed and took up residence within her body…”

“Hm? Wait—”

Just as Samael was about to continue, Xingyu Muxi’s voice abruptly interrupted her.

“You just said that you took up residence in Xiaoyin’s body?”

“Yes.”

“You… you really…”

Xingyu Muxi still held some doubt toward Samael’s earlier words. But after hearing Samael say that her soul resided within Tianyin’s body… Xingyu Muxi’s attention was immediately drawn entirely to that point.

After all…

’Residing within Xiaoyin’s body… something like that…’

‘Wasn’t that just way too enviable?’

‘Damn it, why did I suddenly feel a bit jealous!’

For a moment, Xingyu Muxi’s emotions became incredibly complicated.
