Chapter 1611 – White-Robed Qin Yu

Qin Yu sucked in a deep breath of air and then turned to look at Rourou.

She rolled her eyes but stayed silent. However, her eyes were clearly saying, 'Are you blaming me for your cowardice?'

"Cough!"

Qin Yu stretched his hand forward and pressed it down. The violent space time rules quickly became calm. The mist disappeared and the Spirit Embryo of the world appeared before the two of them. However, it did not have an aura and it seemed to have lost all of its spirit. Now, it looked like an ordinary stone.

Of course, Qin Yu knew that it was in this state because it had been frightened. He walked forward and patted it, "Don't worry. Rourou is on the same team as us; she won't harm you."

There was still silence from the Spirit Embryo.

Rourou scoffed, "If you don't come out, then I will take action to force you out!"

'Pitter patter', a ball of light dropped on the ground. It sprawled on its back and there was a rumbling sound as it climbed up and hid behind Qin Yu. It was a small person that was only a foot tall.

Looking closer at it, this person shared about seventy to eighty percent of Qin Yu's features. As he curled himself up, his smooth and tender skin made him appear very cute. At this moment, he was very fearful and his hands wrapped around Qin Yu's calf, making him look extra pitiful.

Rourou narrowed her eyes but her expression remained calm, "Qin Yu, although the debt you have to me has been reduced by half, it isn't cleared yet. You haven't forgotten this have you?"

The little person hugging Qin Yu's calf was quivering in fear and tears dripped down his face. However, he shook his head fiercely.

Qin Yu hesitated before nodding, "Yes."

Rourou stretched an arm out, "The rest of the debt can be paid by this little guy instead of you. After all, strictly speaking, there is no difference between the two of you."

The little person immediately burst into tears.

Qin Yu's face scrunched up, but before he said anything, Rourou cut him off, "I am the debtee and I make the calls. Also, I already know what you are about to say. If you agree to this, I will promise to help."

Although it was said in a roundabout manner, Qin Yu understood what Rourou meant and his eyes brightened.

The little person cried louder and he appeared so pitiful. He could break hearts with his cries.

Frowning, Qin Yu said, "Can you promise not to harm…" Rourou scoffed and cut him off, "No."

She glanced at Qin Yu whose frown had turned even deeper. She snapped impatiently, "Don't worry, he won't die and I won't harm his origins. Are you going to agree to it or not? Otherwise, I I am going to rescind the offer."

Qin Yu thought about it and slowly nodded. If Rourou was truly going to harm the Spirit Embryo, he would not be able to stop her either. In other words, there was no need to cause more trouble because of this.

The little person wiped away his tears as he looked at Qin Yu's attitude. His expression turned into one of resolution and he shut his eyes and sobbed quietly to himself.

"Don't worry. Rourou is our friend. If you suffer today, I will think of a way to make it up to you in the future."

Qin Yu spat out before he turned and left Misty Ghost Grotto. A layer of array suddenly appeared and shut off all sensory auras from both sides of the array. Frowning slightly, Qin Yu looked back. He found that Rourou's actions seemed slightly off.

After Qin Yu left, there was only Rourou and the foot-tall little person in Misty Ghost Grotto. His eyes were still closed and he was sobbing in a hushed voice. Tears continued to fill his eyes and his body was shivering from fear.

Rourou's eyes narrowed and the smirk across her face disappeared. It turned into an indifferent smile. "Alright, he is gone. Who are you putting on an act for?"

The foot-tall little person lifted his head and showed a look of confusion. His red eyes blinked and he looked innocent.

Rourou was expressionless, "I will get to the point. If you continue to act pitiful here, little brat, do you want to die?"

The little person lifted a hand to wipe his tears. He said, "Your honor's aura is really scary. I am weak and I acted pitiful to get some pity. Is that going overboard? Of course, if your honor doesn't like it, then I will speak properly."

He shook his head and then knelt down to the ground and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, your honor!"

Rourou scoffed, "Then guess what I am about to do next."

The little person frowned as he fell into deep thought, "Your honor, are you afraid that I will cause harm to the original body in the future?"

Rourou said, "Smart."

The little person laughed bitterly, "Your honor, you don't have to worry. I was born from a fragment of the original body's soul and I will live and die together with the original body. The original body's will is my master and I will not do such a thing."

"Oh, is that so?"

The little person felt a terrifying aura and his expression turned to shock. In the next instant, his body disappeared and the space in front of Rourou broke apart unexpectedly. The horror-struck little person was inside.

Rourou stretched an arm forward and grabbed the little person's neck. Her expression was dark and cold, "Little brat, I think you really want to die."

The little person screamed, "You promised the original body that you will not kill me!"

The grip of Rourou's fingers tightened and she threatened, "I did say that, but I've changed my mind. What can you do?"

The little person's face turned bright red and he struggled, "Why don't you believe me? I was just born. I have never harmed the original body and I don't have any intention to kill him and replace him!"

A flicker of a smile crossed Rourou's face, "Replace him. This phrase is used really well. No wonder both of you are the same person, your literary skills are good too."

The smile faded away and she pulled the little person in front of her closer such that they were almost pressed together. She stared menacingly into his eyes and said, "It seems that you still don't know who is standing in front of you right now. The understanding that I have of your species is far greater than you have ever imagined.

"After all, there is no reward in this world that comes for free. Most pastries that drop from the heavens have been messed with."

The little person stopped struggling and his expression changed to become as hostile as Rourou's. There was no longer fear in his eyes.

"You won't dare to kill me."

Rourou nodded, "You are right, I will be in trouble if I kill you. However, I can seal you and make sure that you are only a white lotus flower that looks pretty from the surface, or a crybaby ghost. What do you think? Will I do that?"

The little person jerked in response and he wailed, "I believe, I believe you! What are you going to do? The original body was chosen by you first and I won't fight you for him. Is that enough?"

Slap –

A huge slap instantly bruised the little person's face and the handprint could be clearly seen, "It seems that you really are foolish. Even now, you don't understand what I am saying.

"Remember, Qin Yu, your original body, is mine. If you dare to touch him, I will make sure you live like you are dead."

Rourou licked her lips and she released a bit of her aura from her sealed body.

The little person's eyes immediately widened and his limbs thrashed around wildly as he struggled in her grasp, "It is you, it is you!"

Rourou slowly said, "Now, do you understand?"

The little person nodded violently.

Rourou swallowed her saliva, "Since you understand, Let's carry on and begin the settling of the debt. Your original body owed me quite a sum. Let me think of how I am going to settle this with you."

She grabbed an arm of the little person and pulled it off. He cried in pain as the arm turned into a ball of light. She shoved it down her throat and gobbled it up. Rourou's eyes burned with passion.

This taste was amazing. She had to bury her urge to directly eat him whole.

Qin Yu's face had turned pale and he could feel the pain and fear from the little person. His legs jerked but he stopped himself. As he stared at the entrance of the Misty Ghost Grotto, his face was as dark as the night.

After careful consideration, Qin Yu sighed deeply and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He remained at his spot.

Since he chose to bring Rourou here, he had to give her some degree of trust. Otherwise, the situation would be worse.

Thankfully, nothing else happened after that and he could only sense the utter fear that the little person had.

A few moments later, the entrance of the Misty Ghost Grotto flashed and Rourou walked out. There was a pale-faced child who followed behind her. He looked roughly eleven or twelve years old and he wore a white robe. Together with his red lips and white teeth, he was dashing and he looked like an immortal that had descended to earth.

Qin Yu frowned in puzzlement. Rourou simply stated, "I already briefed him. This lad is willing to serve you and he will be tested in the Western Barbarian Land. However, it is too early to tell whether this will be a success." She looked at Qin Yu and her lips curled up in satisfaction, "I can see through whatever you are thinking."

The white-robed boy walked forward and bowed, "Please give me a name, Master." He appeared to be very respectful and his expression was calm. However, he was gritting his teeth internally and he was the only one who knew his feelings currently.

His real name could not be given out easily; it could be used against him to cause him harm.

Furthermore, this name would be given to him by Qin Yu. In the future, he could not harbor any evil thoughts against Qin Yu. Otherwise, he would be courting his own earth!

Qin Yu observed Rourou nodded her head. Disregarding the truth, he thought for a while before saying, "Your white robe floats in the wind like feathers(羽), making you look like a saint. You shall be called Qin Yǔ(羽)."[1]

The white-robed boy looked as though he had been struck by lightning. He stared at Qin Yu blankly and then wailed loudly.

Rourou was slightly stunned as she stared at Qin Yu. There was a flicker in her deep eyes.

Qin Yu helplessly said, "If you don't like the name, I can change it. Will I need to change it?"

Rourou waved her hand. "No, this name is very good. Qin Yu(秦宇) and Qin Yǔ(秦羽) are similar-sounding. There is nothing better than this. I think Qin Yǔ is crying tears of joy from getting his name."

Even though the white-robed Qin Yǔ nodded his head strongly, Qin Yu found the atmosphere weird. However, he observed how Rourou did not say anything else, and Qin Yǔ's name was settled like this.

Rourou glared at Qin Yu, "What are you staring at? Give him the materials. The lad has just been born and he has to leave here as soon as possible. However, if the heavens' lightning senses him and strikes him, he won't be able to dodge it."

Qin Yu nodded quickly and stopped crying.

Qin Yu kept twenty percent of the remaining materials in his hand and gave the rest to Qin Yǔ.

"Farewell, Master!" Qin Yǔ knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully. He stepped forward and vanished into thin air.

Qin Yu was surprised. He knew that Qin Yǔ did not have any cultivation now and he was only an ordinary person. However, he could control space.

Rourou scoffed, "Spirit Embryos born from the world are naturally different from ordinary people. What is there to be surprised about?" She lifted a finger and pressed it forward. There was a shriek, "If you dare to spy on us, I will dig out your eyeballs and make you blind!"

The shriek gradually grew further away.

Qin Yu realized that Rourou's expression was suddenly turning pale and her body swayed as though she could not keep her balance.

He quickly jumped forward and grabbed her, "What happened to you?"

Rourou gritted her teeth angrily and she almost cursed out loud, 'What? Isn't it all because of you that I could not pull myself together? If I lose it, you will understand what happens when you help the wrong person.'

However, she kept all this to herself and only massaged her temples angrily, "It is nothing. Help me back to rest."

Qin Yu sighed deeply, "Alright."

They crossed through the darkness and quickly left the underground mine. They arrived back at the residence silently.

Rourou's expression was getting more pale. She poured some tea for herself and gulped it down. Lifting her head to look at Qin Yu, she said, "Aren't you going to leave? I am really tired. Stop bothering me!"

Qin Yu's lips twisted awkwardly and he thought to himself that she was really harsh. Sighing again, he said, "Rest well."

He turned to leave but suddenly stopped after taking two steps. He asked, "What did you do in the underground just now?"

Rourou frowned. However, when she saw the serious expression on Qin Yu's face, she explained, "I simply ensured that the brat understood what sort of aspirations he should not have."

Qin Yu cupped his hands together and bowed, "Thank you."

He turned and left briskly.

1. In Chinese, there are characters that sound the same but have different meanings. The 羽 (Yu) for the Spirit Embryo's name means feather. Meanwhile, the 宇 (Yu) for the MC's name means universe. ☜
