Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Tidbits 9: "Finally, I Can Return It"

Hua Yifeng's?

How could that guy always show up anywhere? Even in the city that was slaughtered by Shen Qibo.

Yi Hua had clearly heard that sinners would not take care of each other. Especially by entering the territory of other sinners.

But, ... Yi Hua knew that this was just a memory, and clearly he could not ask the person directly. It was just that he subconsciously approached Hua Yifeng. The man had also always been wandering around Yi Hua's matter.

Moment ...

Slaughtering in just one night?

This is not the time to judge who can do it. However, Shen Qibo used to be just an ordinary human. Although trained like anything, how could he slaughter a city whose contents were also trained people like the Night Soldiers?

Yi Hua suddenly wanted to laugh. If Xiao was here for sure he would have thought Yi Hua was starting to be possessed by the late cow. He even frowned while staring at Hua Yifeng who was still standing not far from him. The man was in the fog, and in the same mysteriousness. Even so, because inside Shen Qibo's memories, Hua Yifeng's 'this' was also part of the memories. Yi Hua could not fight or kick.

"As the people of the Li Kingdom have said, you have always brought destruction, Hua Yifeng. But what I've always wanted to ask is why are you doing all this?" yi Hua asked Hua Yifeng in this 'memory.

The man's eyes looked very empty and looked straight ahead. Although Yi Hua was not far in front of him, but this man clearly did not look at him. This man stared at all the destruction of the city in front of him.

"Do you really want to destroy the world? Or ..." He realized he couldn't say anything.

Yi Hua had heard very often that Hua Yifeng had always been associated with Princess Li Wei. If there was anything she could say now, then what Hua Yifeng was doing now was like madness. Appeared every time in trouble, and was it because of his love for Li Wei?

Often Yi Hua wanted to ask Hua Yifeng. But he can't do it.

"Hua Yifeng, do you want to destroy the world that destroyed Princess Li Wei?" yi Hua asked in the end.

However, her question was answered by Hua Yifeng's back. The man just turned around. As expected, the man clearly always appeared with all sorts of mysteriousness within him. It's even sickening if you have to guess this guy's actions.

Yi Hua did not want to guess, but his estimation always led him to the same conclusion. He would always be the opposite party to Hua Yifeng. He was even on a mission to kill Hua Yifeng.

Therefore, ...

Yi Hua closed his eyes as all the memories around him had blurred. It's like his eyes have been overwritten by so many things, that he must close his eyes. The surroundings started to feel strange, like they were starting to sway and mess up. All of these memories began to vanish, and Yi Hua was convinced that she must wake up soon.

"It will be over, Hua Yifeng," whispered Yi Hua.

I don't know who said it to. Yi Hua didn't know that.

***

"Yi Hua ...!"

You scream like my ears are stuffed with cow legs!

How could it be that after all the memories she had experienced, Yi Hua woke up with a shout in her ear. Of course it was because of Wei Qionglin's shout from a distance. However, because in the war situation Wei Qionglin often shouted, so Wei Qionglin's screams were like the screams of the wife's heart.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that his body was floating. It's a very strange phenomenon.

Yi Hua was sure that she experienced many things in her memories. However, it turned out that the period of time in the memories was just like a blink of an eye in this world. He was still in a thrown situation, and the funny thing was that he had a dream about Shen Qibo's memories in just that period of time?

"It must be weird huh, HuaHua? You dream only because you blink your eyes" Xiao said in Yi Hua's ear.

Yi Hua sighed as Xiao was so ignorant. Isn't this also the arrangement of Xiao?

He's the system, but he's also the one who doesn't give a lot of information sometimes. It was as if Xiao had always asked Yi Hua to wrap everything up by herself. The system only gives all its parts.

Trust me, Yi Hua hates to guess.

SRETT!

NAH!

THE PLAQUE!

Yi Hua was thrown and someone caught him. However, Yi Hua brushed off the man's hand quickly and let his body slip onto the surface of the stone. It was a slightly silly scene because Yi Hua refused the help of others. Even he let his body be thrown into the expanse of rock within the cave hole.

BRUK!

"UGHH ..." Yi Hua felt like his bones wanted to say goodbye to each other in the body.

Just as Yi Hua had fallen, someone raised his body to check on her condition. Yi Hua knew exactly who that man was. Withstanding the back pain, Yi Hua brushed off the man's hand. He is An.

"Thank you, Mr. An," Yi Hua said.

The man stared confusedly at his hand that was brushed aside by Yi Hua. Even Yi Hua did not want to look into his eyes. Even so, the man's face remained as calm as ever.

Then, Yi Hua got up while pressing on her painful waist. The pain in his body was already gone due to the rotten force of 'back to the beginning'. Obviously it was just a good name made by Xiao, in fact it was because this body of Yi Hua had a demon furnace inside. You could say Yi Hua's lifeline is indeed 'magic', so let's consider this as luck.

Suddenly Yi Hua was very good at being grateful.

Yi Hua walked away from An with a sight that was not at all epic. He held her waist and An stared behind her back. The man's gaze looked very calm, but no one knew its meaning.

It's just ...

"I don't like being fooled, Mr. An." That was all Yi Hua could say.

Now even more important was to overcome Yue Yan who had become a monster*.

^^^*Remember the difference. Every time Yi Hua said monster, it meant referring to a human being who was undergoing an experiment to increase his strength. Like being given a pill or potion, of course to increase strength. As for Hua Yifeng, Shen Qibo, and some demons the destruction was more 'natural' to gain power. It was like committing a massacre, murder, or sacrifice and eventually becoming a demon.^^^

A GRAHH!

Yi Hua saw Shen Qibo looking extremely small before Yue Yan. But the man did not go from there at all. He remained standing upright as if he did not feel afraid of Yue Yan's change.

In the hand of the man still holding the sword.

"You think with this you will be strong, Yue Yan," said the man as he watched his sword begin to crack.

SRETT!

BUGH!

Yue Yan jerked his punch towards Shen Qibo. The man instantly dodged, so Yue Yan's punch landed on the wall of the underground hole. It inflicted so much damage that rock fragments flew through the air.

General Wei Qionglin moved according to his honor. The man quickly helped the traders to get out. Because, he believes the fight between these two creatures will definitely reach the ground surface. So it is better to 'clean up' the arena first.

"I've told you, you're weak," cried Shen Qibo as he kicked at Yue Yan's swollen face as a result of his drastic change.

However, Yue Yan was not as dependent as usual. It was because the weight of Yue Yan's body was no longer like the weight of a calf. Obviously Yue Yan could not be defeated so easily.

Shen Qibo is like that.

Why don't these two talk to each other so well?

"Mr Shen ... Stop him, or his strength will make all his organs die!" yi Hua shouted to tell Shen Qibo.

He was clearly not familiar with Shen Qibo. However, using a method like this could make Yue Yan crumble. Man is man, so he cannot have an overflow of power within him.

However, Shen Qibo from the beginning was not obedient. Instead of stopping, Shen Qibo instead hit Yue Yan's stomach very hard. It made Yue Yan roll over and hit the surrounding ground wall.

"GRAHHHH!"

Yue Yan's shout boomed and it made his serpents run from the surroundings. Shen Qibo looked at the snakes, and only showed a slightly strange smile. After all Yue Yan was someone who was always surrounded by snakes.

And, if this 'friend' no longer knew Yue Yan, then it was all due to change.

"You're not becoming strong, Yue Yan. You're still as weak and cowardly as ever. Didn't you often say that you wanted to kill me?" challenge Shen Qibo who seems to have a thousand lives stored in his pocket.

SRETT!

Shen Qibo jumped up as Yue Yan jerked his large swollen hand towards him. It's almost like Shen Qibo always dodges very quickly. Even as Shen Qibo said, Yue Yan could not even defeat him, despite being a monster though.

"Stop it," that remark could Yi Hua hear.

Yi Hua looked around to find who was talking. However, there was no one he could recognize as the owner of the vote. That made Yi Hua look back at Yue Yan.

Ever since Yue Yan turned into a monster, his voice could not come out like a human. Even so, it doesn't mean he doesn't speak. Is it possible that it was the voice of Yue Yan?

SRETT!

Yi Hua who had just wanted to get close again was immediately pulled by An. It made Yi Hua look at An with an unacceptable look.

"Yi Hua, this is none of our business" he said in a calm tone as usual. As if not remembering about Yi Hua's previous rejection.

What does that mean not our business?

If left unchecked Yue Yan could die from his energy surge. It would be the same as Wei Fei. Yi Hua could not imagine if this would happen later. It's like failing twice!

Xiao replied directly, "Wish."

Hey what the fuck with this intangible thing. It is the same as answering 'kindness' and 'not being arrogant' when asked by others about liking traits. It was an intangible thing, and it could not be judged as small. Maybe some people call it, but do not know the extent.

Another case if someone mentions one cow, then Yi Hua can judge the amount.

Xiao Yang before being protested by Yi Hua immediately added, "Usually gaining such power should have a trigger. That means when you talk about cows a lot, then you might have a fondness for cows. It's the same Yi Hua ... Meaning ... A person will not return to his original form if his wish is not fulfilled."

If so ...

Yue Yan would not be able to return to being human if he had not killed Shen Qibo.

Yi Hua did not know what he could do. He obviously could not cheat to help Yue Yan. Plus he knew very clearly that Shen Qibo was just someone who took away all the royal wrongs.

Yi Hua looked at An's hand that was still holding his hand. And, Yi Hua released An's grip on her hand.

"Take off, Mr. An," Yi Hua said firmly.

An looked at Yi Hua with a warning look. However, Yi Hua was clearly as stubborn as ever. Yi Hua obviously did not want to be ruled out just like that.

BRUKE!

Shen Qibo fell? Did he lose?

The opposition between Yi Hua and An was instantly cut off when the loud slamming sound rang out. I don't know what happened, but Yi Hua saw Shen Qibo slamming to the ground. Not only that ... Yi Hua could see Shen Qibo immediately lifted up again, and Yi Hua could see the pitch of black flowing from his arms.

"Every demon of destruction has its weaknesses. It was a great hanging wound that he got before his death as a human. Because, even if he becomes a demon, and covers it even once, then the wound will still be his weakness," said An who explained the reason why Shen Qibo could lose this fight.

But the one that injured Shen Qibo's hand was ... Yi Hua looked at An.

An sighed, "He wants it."

Shen Qibo wants it?

Yue Yan's wish was to defeat Shen Qibo. However, Shen Qibo will not be easily defeated and the wound will always heal even if kicked by a cow. However, Shen Qibo deliberately fought with An in order to get injured first. He must have known very well if An could defeat him.

All of that in order to look like he could be defeated by Yue Yan was fought after.

What kind of sacrifice is this?

"I always keep my promises. I'll give you this piece of cloth if you can beat me."

That was what Shen Qibo said.

Did Shen Qibo also already know that Yue Yan could return to being human when Yue Yan was able to kill him?

How far has Shen Qibo's calculations come to the present day? He even planned to 'lose' Yue Yan. Shen Qibo's ... He loves his friend too much.

BUGH!

With a single jolt Shen Qibo lay on the ground. The wound was flowing down his arm. It was such a huge wound that Shen Qibo's arm was almost cut off. The wound was originally made by An, but enlarged by Yue Yan.

Yi Hua could only stare at it from a distance.

Yue Yan who was in his monster form approached Shen Qibo who was lying dying. Yue Yan's large hand gripped Shen Qibo's body until blood splashed from his mouth and nose. It was only in a matter of seconds that Yi Hua thought that Yue Yan would crush Shen Qibo's body with his grasp. But, ...

A TAP!

Shen Qibo pressed Yue Yan's chest with his palm. It happened for quite a while until Yue Yan's grasp weakened. Slowly appeared a strange energy in Shen Qibo's hands. Then, Yi Hua saw that smiling Shen Qibo's lips moved. Like saying something.

Yi Hua could not hear him.

SRAPP!

It's happening very drastically. Shen Qibo's body fell back to the ground, and the man was seen grimacing. The pain could of course be felt by Shen Qibo who had exhausted so much of his strength. Slowly Shen Qibo's body began to fade like it could be translucent to the touch. Just like a shadow.

Honestly, everything happened so quickly that Yi Hua became confused.

So was Yue Yan who looked puzzled after her change. Yi Hua could see Yue Yan staring at Shen Qibo in bewilderment. Then, his gaze was fixated on the dying Shen Qibo. Blood marks appeared on Yue Yan's clothes, but his wounds were no longer there. All of that was because Yue Yan's wounds had healed just like that.

And, ...

"Shen Qibo, did you pull that power away from me?" asked Yue Yan in a confused tone.

Yi Hua really did not understand what Yue Yan was saying. But before long Xiao explained again in a very flat tone. "That's the same as Hua Yifeng did to you, HuaHua. Absorbing the turbulent power within. But, ..."

Shen Qibo was no stronger than Hua Yifeng. If Hua Yifeng was going to be fine despite having to hold so much bad energy, but Shen Qibo was not. This man lost not because he was weak.

Until when will this man continue to be good?

It's just that no one knows his kindness. No one understood why Shen Qibo did it. No one knows it as if they are blind.

Or, Shen Qibo from the beginning didn't want people to know what he was doing. Because he doesn't want to get thanks from anyone. He doesn't need people to see what he sees.

How sad!

Xiao finally could only reprimand Yi Hua, "You are indeed cold-hearted, HuaHua. Someone else will say condolences to Shen Qibo, but you're saying that he's pathetic."

Yi Hua felt that An let go of her hand. The man thought maybe it was over. Around the underground was also empty, General Wei had managed to bring them out.

The ground above them shook violently. There's going to be a sandstorm. If they don't get out fast, they'll be buried in this place.

Yue Yan grabbed the collar of Shen Qibo's clothes and shook it. "I asked ... Why did you pull that power away from me? You don't want me to be strong, do you? Why don't you always explain anything to me! You always underestimate me. Aye! You've always never considered me, have you?" yue Yan asked as if he was pouring out his entire thought.

An said in a firm voice as if he did not want to be denied. "We're going up, Yi Hua."

However Yi Hua was still motionless from his place. I don't know why Yi Hua couldn't leave all this behind. He wanted to explain everything to Yue Yan. It was only so that Shen Qibo would not be blamed until the end of his death.

It's just ...

Whatever you see ... Be still. Assume you saw nothing.

That was what Shen Qibo had transmitted through his thoughts. I don't know why Yi Hua could hear it.

Even so, ... "I see it," Yi Hua whispered in a soft tone.

How could he act as if he saw nothing?

"Yi Hua." Again, he gave her a warning look.

SRETT!

Yue Yan involuntarily closed his eyes as Shen Qibo moved his hand. Maybe Yue Yan thought that Shen Qibo would strangle him as usual. However, Shen Qibo's hand reached towards his own face.

Pulling the cloth that tied his eyes. The cloth was covered in black blood until it was no longer white. Yi Hua suddenly remembered that it was Yue Yan's hair binding cloth that he had lent to Shen Qibo. It's in his memories.

"I give it back, Yue Yan. Thank ye. Finally, I can return it," Shen Qibo said with a smile on his face.

Then, a loud rumbling sound was heard. Maybe the sandstorm has come back. They had to get out of this gaping hole immediately or they would be buried. Yi Hua could feel An's strapping hand embracing her waist.

An must have carried Yi Hua by force.

However, Yi Hua's gaze remained fixed on the thing in front of him.

There ...

Shen Qibo that was constantly fading to the point of becoming like dust. Then, the sandstorm also erased its existence. Likewise with Yue Yan who was still standing clueless while grasping the bloodstained cloth.

A promise is a promise. Shen Qibo only wanted to return the cloth at the right time. That was, at the moment when all the grudges Yue Yan had reached him.

Perhaps now the Blind Priestess, Shen Qibo would only be a part that would be mentioned in someone else's swearing. No one knows his sacrifice, and it will be buried forever in the Valley of Dust. Just like that.

He left in a state deeply hated by others as a sinner.
