The Trio Who Owe Each Other a Life
Chapter 302 The Trio Who Owe Their Lives
The Water Tai Sui didn't say much. It had its own inherited memories. Although it had lived for many, many years, it was still a minor according to its species. Even though it had seen a lot of evil, it still liked Zhao Lexi's kindness, so it was willing to follow her. In fact, if it were just itself, it could have found this place by following the groundwater.
But it wanted "Saint" to see her too.
A "saint" who can see through people's hearts will surely like her.
"Saint said you traveled through a timeline, and that such an experience would have a negative impact on your lifespan," Shui Tai Sui said with some concern.
Zhao Lexi exclaimed in surprise, "You can even tell that! That's amazing! I was reborn once. In my previous life, I lived in the apocalypse for five years. My brothers protected me very well, and I wasn't as strong as I am now. But later, my brothers were framed, and after I avenged them, I died from exhaustion. But it's okay. As long as my brothers are doing well in this life, it doesn't matter if I die a little earlier."
“Saint said that this energy can repair the negative effects on your body caused by retracing the timeline. It can also allow you to see what happened after you died in the previous timeline, which may be helpful to you in this life.”
"Really! That's great! Is there anything I can do? Will it be difficult for you? If it is, then forget it."
Shui Tai Sui chuckled and said, "Saint is very powerful. He can do this with just a thought. If you want, he can even send you back to any time period of your previous life. But in return, your current life will disappear."
Zhao Lexi remained silent, knowing that Shui Taisui was trying to create an opportunity for her.
But in this life she has made more friends, and she can't bear to leave them forever.
"Thank you. I just want to live this life well now."
“The Saint said that the misfortune and fortune in this dimension will soon be in perfect balance. At that time, it will be up to you to decide whether it should leave.”
At this moment, to those around, the overflowing energy shot straight into the sky, like a thick fog obscuring the sun, stretching as far as the eye could see. If Saint hadn't intentionally controlled the energy to rise and spread outwards from the high sky, all living things within the surrounding tens of thousands of square kilometers would have been burst apart by the energy, dying instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Lexi felt her consciousness suddenly sink, as if she had fallen into an abyss.
A conference room appeared before her, where two men were talking, one of whom was Li Jun.
"The biggest obstacle has been removed, and we can prepare for negotiations."
What should be done about the Xiangyu Mercenary Group?
"It's no use. One person killed them all, leaving only two commanders. Give them some resources and recruit new people. What surprised me was that the girl actually had such strength. Zhao Shiyun kept it a secret quite well, but it doesn't matter. The whole family died together, and it's good that they can reunite in another world."
Where is his uncle?
"There's no rush. He's a pragmatic person. We can find a mistake to force him to retire early after a while."
"Who should go?"
"Let Tang Yu take charge. Make sure to delay as much as possible, and ideally sign a permanent treaty. If they want the western part, just give it to them; it's not a good place anyway. Tell Tang Yu to draft the details first, and once the negotiations are almost complete, have him come and report to me."
Zhao Lexi was curious: Who was that "it"? And who was Li Jun going to negotiate with?
Was my brother killed because he opposed these negotiations?
At this crucial moment, Shui Tai Sui's voice rang out beside her consciousness: "Time's up. Do you want to continue watching?"
Zhao Lexi spoke almost without hesitation: "I'm not watching!"
She cannot put this dimensional world in danger because of her own selfish desires.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Lexi's consciousness returned to reality. Before her stood the "Saint" who looked like her master, and the Water Grand Duke, all smiling at her.
"Water Tai Sui, you..."
“I’m leaving too. I’ll be able to break through the dimensional barriers soon. It will be difficult to break through the final step if I stay here. Saint is willing to take me and guide me, so I’ve decided to leave with it.”
"Break through dimensional constraints?" Zhao Lexi didn't understand.
"It's about transforming from a three-dimensional being into a four-dimensional being."
"Amazing!" Zhao Lexi exclaimed.
"No, not at all," Shui Taisui said modestly, pleased with himself.
"Maybe one day we'll meet again. If I'm powerful enough then, I can take you to any point in time you want to go."
"Okay." Zhao Lexi was a little reluctant, but also happy for it. At this moment, she noticed that the contract between them had disappeared at some point.
Shui Tai Sui rummaged through his body and pulled out a transparent, dried piece, like a plastic squid slice: "This is the skin that fell off during my body's evolution. When we leave, it can absorb some of your energy to ensure your body is not harmed. I've also transferred the contract to it. You can use the energy inside it at any time; it's very convenient."
"Thank you." Zhao Lexi took the dried tablets and carefully put them away.
At the same moment, the figures of Saint and Water Tai Sui became illusory.
Zhao Lexi looked at "Saint" and asked one last question: "Did you come here in your previous life as well?"
In her previous life, her brother had never mentioned that there had been any energy surges in this place.
"We came, but in a different form..." The "Saints" looked apologetic, and before they could finish speaking, their figures vanished completely.
Zhao Lexi noticed that the energy around her began to slowly fade, and the energy that had blocked out the sky also dissipated, as if the materialized energy had disappeared, revealing the fruit trees around her.
Zhao Lexi could feel that the energy in the air had become significantly more concentrated.
After this baptism of energy, half of the fruits in the orchard mutated and became spiritual fruits. The most obvious change was in the fruit tree closest to the saint, where the energy contained in a single fruit was almost comparable to that of a level six energy crystal.
However, the number of fruits was noticeably reduced.
Zhao Lexi thought for a moment. This was a good reward for her work. The strongest people in the base were level four evolved humans. They couldn't use these level six fruits. At most, they would trade them with larger bases. It would be better to let her have them to offset her labor costs. She reached out, picked one, and put it in her mouth. She sensed her brother's energy fluctuations and slowly walked towards Zhao Shikang.
After taking a couple of steps, she sensed another familiar energy fluctuation approaching her. After thinking for a moment, she stood still under the tree, ate the fruit in a few bites, and then reached out and picked another one from the tree.
It's delicious, crispy, sweet, and juicy.
About five minutes later, three figures appeared in front of Zhao Lexi. They were the Song siblings and the girl named Wei Xuan.
Judging from their direction, they didn't come in through the main entrance.
"Does the owner of the base know that you've come uninvited?" Zhao Lexi asked curiously.
Song Zibai's handsome face remained expressionless, but the moment he saw Zhao Lexi, his tense expression relaxed a little: "Lele, you're back."
