Dissatisfaction and wariness were intertwined as Ling Xiao spoke. Apparently, the Demon Soul King's previous indifference left a deep impression on him.
The Demon Soul King seemed to sense Ling Xiao's hostility and distrust. He sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his voice:
"I admit that there were indeed many ill-considered things before. But after this battle, I have also deeply reflected. Your words are like a wake-up call, making me realize that even a demon cultivator should not give up blindly in pursuit of power.
The most basic emotions and responsibilities in human nature.
Companions should support each other in order to go further. As for treating illnesses and rescuing people, although I am not good at it, I can still alleviate your mother's pain at the moment."
Having said this, the Demon Soul King's voice became soft but firm, and he continued: "Don't worry, I won't have any concealment or intention.
I can teach you a secret method. Although it cannot cure your mother's injury, it can temporarily seal the pain in her body and give her a moment of peace and comfort. This is my response to you and my own past behavior.
Let’s make amends.”
When Ling Xiao listened to the Demon Soul King's words, the guard in his eyes had not completely dissipated, but the indifference seemed to be loosened. He was silent for a moment, and finally said coldly: "I don't believe you, but I can learn. Teach me the method.
I'll try it myself."
In his words, there was both caution for the unknown and deep care and love for his mother. He knew that no matter what the other party's purpose was, as long as it could alleviate his mother's pain, it was worth a try.
The Demon Soul King sighed softly deep in his heart. This sigh was inaudible but full of complex emotions. He realized that the bridge of trust between him and Ling Xiao might have been cracked due to the past.
Now, no matter what words he said, it was difficult to completely eliminate the wariness and suspicion in Ling Xiao's heart. This realization made him feel helpless and bitter, but it also strengthened his determination to mend this relationship.
Although there were mixed emotions in his heart, the Demon Soul King chose to remain silent. He knew that actions could prove his sincerity better than words. So, without reservation, he taught Ling Xiao the secret method that could temporarily relieve Jiang Xiruo's pain.
.
During the teaching process, his eyes were focused and profound, and every word contained recognition of Ling Xiao's potential and expectations for the future.
After the teaching was completed, the Demon Soul King looked at Ling Xiao quietly, and an unprecedented premonition surged in his heart. He seemed to see Ling Xiao's future glory, which was beyond the former master of the Demon Sect and was enough to make the entire Demon Sect and even the entire martial arts
The world trembles with power and majesty.
Such Ling Xiao is destined to become a being that cannot be underestimated, and all he can do now is to make friends with him as much as possible to avoid an irreversible end in the future.
"Thank you!" Ling Xiao's voice broke the silence in the room, short but sincere. Although he was still dissatisfied with the Demon Soul King, this dissatisfaction did not affect his gratitude for the Demon Soul King's help at this moment.
He knew very well how precious this secret method that could bring a moment of peace was when his mother was suffering from torture. Therefore, he chose to put aside his prejudices and express his heartfelt gratitude to the Demon Soul King.
At this moment, the relationship between the two seemed to have undergone a subtle change. Although trust has not been completely restored, at least they were working hard to improve the relationship.
Ling Xiao knew the subtlety of this method at a glance, and secretly admired the ingenuity of its conception. He knew that this was not an ordinary method, but it completely stripped away the most sensitive pain perception of the human body, leaving no trace of pain in the depths of the soul.
There are traces of pain, thereby achieving a kind of tranquility and comfort that transcends physical pain.
Although this method does not directly treat the pain, it can greatly relieve Jiang Xiruo's physical and mental suffering in a short period of time. He can't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and he feels sincerely relieved that he can alleviate his mother's pain.
Without any hesitation, Ling Xiao quickly and carefully followed the steps taught by the Demon Soul King.
With the gentle movement of his fingertips, a soft and mysterious power quietly filled the air and slowly penetrated into Jiang Xiruo's body, as if the spring breeze turned into rain, silently resolving the entangled pain one by one.
Jiang Xiruo's expression gradually changed from pain to peace, and his tense body slowly relaxed, finally turning into a gentle tranquility, and he snuggled quietly on Ling Xiao's shoulder and fell asleep.
Her breathing became even and long, and her face was filled with a long-lost tranquility, as if all the suffering had gone away with this deep sleep.
Ling Xiao looked at his mother's sleeping face with mixed feelings in his heart. He was happy that he could temporarily relieve his mother's pain, but he was also deeply worried about the long-term effects of the forbidden curse.
He knew that this forbidden curse not only deprived Jiang Xiruo of the possibility of continuing to practice and advance, but also made her stay at the level of Tianhe realm for the rest of her life. This was for a strong person who once had great ambitions and longed to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts.
, it is undoubtedly a great regret and pain.
However, Ling Xiao did not give up hope. He knew that in this world, there were always some miracles that were beyond imagination. Perhaps one day in the future, he would be able to find the legendary treasures of heaven and earth, or master them.
Some kind of secret method that defies heaven and changes fate, helps the mother break the shackles of the forbidden curse and regain her life.
This belief is like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding him to keep moving forward and move forward bravely on the path of spiritual practice, just for the glimmer of possible light and hope.
At this moment, he gently stroked Jiang Xiruo's hair, his eyes shining with determination and tenderness. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would guard his mother until that day came.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of his mother Jiang Xiruo, Ling Xiao felt an indescribable sense of peace and contentment in his heart.
He adjusted his posture slightly to ensure that his mother could snuggle comfortably on his shoulders, and then slowly turned his gaze to Long Chen aside.
A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Second brother, you are really promising. That palm just now was so crisp and clean that it directly defeated a strong man in the Tianhe realm. This kind of strength is really amazing."
Hearing this, a trace of humility flashed across Long Chen's face. He shook his head slightly, his eyes full of admiration for Ling Xiao: "Brother, why do you praise me so much? Although we are brothers, your talent is
With hard work, I have always been beyond my reach.
If we had the same starting point, the height you have reached now will definitely be beyond my reach. However, having said that, it is really rare that the three of us brothers finally meet here. It’s just that eldest brother, sister-in-law, she... you haven’t found the moon yet.
Sister-in-law?"
Speaking of this, Long Chen's voice lowered a bit unconsciously. He was well aware of Yue Nu's position in Ling Xiao's heart, and he also understood that this topic might touch the pain point in Ling Xiao's heart.
