“Being separated by the clear water, they looked at each other with love in their eyes without words.”
The eyes of this mermaid staring at Lin Luoran are full of sorrow, begging her to take her away—take her away? It is the Sea of Sin. How can Lin Luoran have the nerve to show her compassion?
Lin Luoran forces herself to tear her gaze and stop listening to the mysterious song. She calms down and drives the Bone Boat forward. Sailing across the black waves, she leaves the mermaid and cobblestone behind in a blink of an eye.
A scream rings behind Lin Luoran, making her heart tremble. She can’t help turning her head and sees that a big barbed fish with a big mouth jumps out of the sea and bites the mermaid’s head off!
Mermaid’s headless body is twitching. Her fishtail slaps on the cobblestone a few times and then slips into the black sea.
Lin Luoran can’t calm down without distractions anymore.
Lin Luoran knows it may be an illusion to seduce her moral mind; however, she is not a ruthless person. She always thinks that maybe the mermaid would not have been dead if she had brought her on board.
Her moral mind is not flawless, so she can’t sail perfectly anymore.
Lin Luoran’s eyes become confused.
She hears the sound of apes coming from both sides of the strait. The weird wind is blowing in the thick black water, and a dark shadow comes at her. It then turns into a person who Lin Luoran thinks she has forgotten.
It is Young Zou Yaowei who once shook his goblet at her in Blue Bird.
At that time, she was a young and vigorous person who dared to go there alone. Wen Guanjing was the orthodox heir of the Wen family of Zu Mountain when she first met him. Lin Luoran was a novice who did not know anything and just entered the world of personal ability unconsciously.
Why did she have the nerve to fight with Wen Guanjing?
Maybe she was driven crazy by what had happened to Baojia; she was driven crazy by cultivators’ arrogant attitude that they never took ordinary people seriously. Therefore, she injured Zou Yaowei seriously.
Lin Luoran entered the Laying Foundation period in the blood pool of the underground palace. Zou Yaowei didn’t give the Lin family many choices. He humiliated Baojia and seriously injured Mr. Lin. Lin Luoran killed him without hesitation.
“… I was right. You Devil Inside can’t trap me!”
Lin Luoran wakes up from her memory, and her eyes become firm. Even if killing is sinful, she will never regret about killing Zou Yaowei. Those who study Tao can’t kill randomly. However, if she cannot fight back when others humiliate her so much, she will give up this kind of Tao!
As she finishes her sentence, Zou Yaowei in front of her crashes and turns into pieces.
Lin Luoran is about to cast spells and moves forward when those fragments become a middle-aged couple holding hands together.
They are Zou Yaowei’s parents!
“There is nothing wrong with killing my child? How about us? Have we insulted you or hurt you?” Zou Guojun has a dignified face and a strong power. At first glance, she can know that he is a powerful character in a high position. If Lin Luoran is the person she was, she dares not to look up at him, not to mention confronting him.
“You vicious woman, give my son back to me!” Mrs. Zou is aggressive, and she talks fiercely. The two are really a perfect and noble couple.
“Can you answer us? Pretentious and vicious woman!”
Lin Luoran bows her head, remembering how she burnt the Zou family’s mansion and killed the Zou couple.
Making the choice again, she will still choose to kill the Zou family to avoid future troubles without hesitation.
However, facing the torture of Devil Inside, Lin Luoran squeezes her lips tightly. She can’t say something like she is right to refute them confidently. There is no reason to hurt a whole family, according to Tao. It’s just because Lin Luoran wants to nip it in the bud. After killing Zou Yaowei, she hurt the Zou family. She not only killed his parents but also indirectly made the Zou family collapse—
In endless time, this has been the only flaw in her moral mind since she entered the world of personal ability for so long.
Lin Luoran can’t justify herself and then retorts. The two figures are pushing her step by step. She clenches her fists. The bone boat stops at this critical moment.
Outside the misty magical shield light, the Zou couple is arrogant, and Lin Luoran purses her lips without a word.
She only crosses half of this long strait, but time runs forward at an unstoppable speed. A quarter of an hour… she only has a quarter to pass the Sea of Sin. Otherwise, she will be like the mermaid who stays here forever and can’t go into reincarnation!
Lin Luoran’s eyes are cold, remembering her resolution since the moment she began her personal ability enhancement to unite her family and cultivate with her families together. Her clenched fists gradually release.
She has already been sinful. Why should she be afraid that her sin comes to torture her conscience at this moment?
“What is sinful and what is right… The Sea of Sin? So what! Are true immortals in Mount Penglai always right before they succeed?”
The small boat is about to be overturned by the strong wind and big waves at any time. In front of the boat, there are two arrogant and misty figures. Behind the boat, there are huge waves. Lin Luoran’s dress is blown by the fierce wind and flies up and down. This woman who may be overthrown by the huge waves is disdainful of danger. She questions the so-called Sea of Sin for the first time!
Lin Luoran ignores how shocked the two wandering souls are. She laughs.
“Even if that is the case, you can just take revenge on me honestly. Don’t be cowards and disturb my mind taking advantage of the Sea of Sin… I, Lin Luoran, don’t buy it! ”
—I don’t buy it. Although I can’t retort you loudly, I have no regret.
—I don’t buy it. This world is ruled by wealthy and powerful people. Should I only allow others to deceive me, humiliate me, laugh at me, despise me, be mean to me, hate me, and lie to me? Just tolerate them, avoid them, respect them, ignore them, and let it go? In a few years, I will see what has become.
The Zou couple did not harm the Lin family directly. However, how could Zou Yaowei do such a thing without their indulgence and acquiescence?
Two shadows shed their disguises, and they look hideous. Lin Luoran doesn’t flinch this time. She steps forward and stands in front of the ship.
“Whether I feel guilty or not, Heaven’s Doom will test me when I achieve success in personal ability enhancement. You ghosts can just disappear quickly!”
The two shadows are shattered by her words. Black tornado forms in the Sea of Sin and the small bone boat is to be sucked in. Lin Luoran casts spells with her hands and sails flexibly. She goes through tornadoes of various sizes.
Who dares to say that he hasn’t done anything wrong in his whole life?
Winner takes it all, but the loser can also be a hero.
She is not perfect, and she has done something wrong. However, she has also saved ordinary people and done some good things.
In Lin Luoran’s decades of life, she is flawless in virtues regardless of her contribution and debts. She will not attack unless she is attacked. The black howling wind hurts her cheeks. Lin Luoran’s eyes are firm, and her hands are directing the boat to avoid tornadoes of all sizes and water swirls.
The sound of mourning apes and the howling wind is screaming, but Lin Luoran turns a deaf ear to it.
Lin Luoran focuses on sailing. She has crossed most of the Sea of Sin in the blink of an eye.
There is still a third of the journey to go, and there are only three minutes left. Lin Luoran can see the end of the black sea. It is a soft and sandy beach like a pure land on earth.
The milky light softens her eyes.
She has to avoid the last great vortex in two minutes. The suction of the black sea keeps her alert at any moment.
When Lin Luoran is about to abandon the boat and lands, she suddenly sees a water wall in front.
The pretty but sad figure stands there glowing. She is weak and weeping,
“It’s too cold here. Can you stay here with me?”
Beautiful blue tail, sad expression, big and innocent eyes, born with superb ability to control water… she is the mermaid who Lin Luoran thinks has been bitten off the head.
—Is everything happened before just an illusion?
