Chapter 352 (1/2)

As the scene flashed through her mind, Wushuang seemed to remember seeing a gra.s.sland. On the gra.s.sland, there was a bonfire with several blurred figures around it, but the thing that left the deepest impression on her was those 18 super skeletons.

Wushuang tried her best to make the scene clearer, but the scene seemed to always be shrouded by a layer of mist. It was as if the scene was an ashamed maiden, who was unwilling to reveal her true appearance.

Suddenly, rows of spotlessly white teeth appeared in front of her eyes, and Wushuang was startled. This resulted in her waking up all of a sudden, and as soon as she returned to her senses, she saw Long YI standing in front of her. Long Yi was watching her with a smile, revealing rows of s.h.i.+ning white teeth.

”What are you doing?” Wushuang suppressed the waves which were brewing in her heart and asked faintly.

”I am the one that should ask what are you doing, why on earth are you staring at me like that?” Long Yi smiled strangely and replied Wushuang with a question of his own while staring at her.

Wushuang's face slightly heated up and he hurriedly replied Long Yi with a cold voice, ”Who was looking at you? I was looking at those skeletons at your side.”

”Skeletons? Do skeletons look as good as me?” Long Yi said with a smirk on his face.

”The skeletons are a hundred times better looking than you, why are you being such a narcissist??” Wushuang immediately stated.

”Did you recall anything?” Long Yi asked with expectation.

”No.” Wushuang replied flatly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Long Yi's eyes but he quickly reverted back to his signature bad smile. With a smirk on his face, he told Wushuang, ”Wushuang, just now, you were blus.h.i.+ng.”

Wushuang instantly shot a glare at him, but Long Yi seemed to ignore her as he had already returned to the bonfire. Patting Long Two's shoulder, he asked, ”Brother, someone is saying you are more handsome than me, do you think you're more handsome than me?”

Long Yi's action piqued the interest of both women, but Barbarian Bull wasn't surprised at all. As for three G.o.d-beasts, they were staring at the meat on the grill while drooling.

The pitch-black eye-sockets of Long Two flashed with a red light and its skull unexpectedly turned towards Long Yi.

”This… does this skeleton have consciousness?” Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue were stunned. Originally when they learned about Long Yi's hidden profession, and saw that he summoned 18 super skeletons, they were surprised. However, now, they were dumbfounded. They never thought that a skeleton could actually respond to its master, wasn't it just a bunch of bones put together?

This was not the first time Long Yi had seen Long Two responding to him. He guessed that this fellow was slowly giving rise to its own consciousness. When he first guessed that Long Two was actually developing its own consciousness, the thought of eliminating Long Two appeared in his mind. However, he finally gave up on that thought and decided to let fate run its course. Now, he actually had some expectations for Long Two development and he wanted to see what would happen if Long Two developed its own consciousness.

”Maybe.” Long Yi answered absent-mindedly as his eyes were staring at those pitch-black eye-sockets of Long Two. Then using his spirit power, he surrounded it Long Yi managed to sense spirit fluctuations coming out of Long Two, and for a lifeless skeleton which was summoned by a necromancer to have spirit fluctuations was an impossible matter. However, the fact was that Long Two indeed had spirit fluctuations, so saying that it doesn't have consciousness was somewhat unbelievable.

Long Yi pondered deeply and walked two steps away, but to his surprise, Long Two's eye-sockets flashed with a red light as Long Two soon followed behind him with every step he took. Even without commands from Long Yi, Long Two was moving by itself.

At this time, Long Yi felt a comparatively strong spirit fluctuation from Long Two, as if it was trying to communicate with him. Although Long Yi didn't understand what it wanted to say, he could feel admiration and wors.h.i.+p from it.

Long Yi was startled. Turning around to face Long Two, he looked at Long Two in the eye. Compared to the time when he had just obtained Long Two, it had indeed grown a lot. Now, its entire body emitted a dense dark aura, and the skeleton which was its entire body had changed into a suit of grand bone armor. It was no longer that emaciated skeleton which it had once been. Never would Long Yi have thought that this skeleton, which he named casually and sometimes poured his heart out to as it would never divulge his secrets, would really develop its own consciousness. Now it was actually able to think independently and move by itself without any instruction.

After a long time, Long Yi habitually gave Long Two's shoulders a pat and said, ”No matter what you become and no matter how strong you become, I hope you will never betray me.”

The eye-sockets of Long Two flashed with red light. However, it didn't understand the words Long Yi said to it. Currently, Long Two's intelligence wasn't fully developed and its comprehension ability was only equivalent to a 3-4 years old child. It could be said that, for a consciousness to develop in Long Two, Long Yi played a vital role. As Long Yi had always regarded Long Two as a living being, he continuously talked to it. This allowed Long Two to evolve, and this slowly gave rise to a consciousness in Long Two. At the very beginning, it was only a little, but later, along with its strength, this little bit of consciousness began to strengthen. Eventually, that little bit of consciousness it had in the beginning became stronger and stronger. This resulted in Long Two being able to think for itself like what is currently happening. From another point of view, it could be said that it was impossible for Long Two to defy Long Yi. As the concept that Long Yi was its 'boss' had been deeply rooted in its brain the moment its consciousness was born, it would definitely carry out Long Yi's command no matter what it was.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange. Now, Long Yi sat at one side lost in thought, and Long Two who was holding a death scythe stood behind him. The other 17 skeletons were carrying Long Yi's command of slicing and roasting the meat beside the two of them. As for Nalan Ruyue, she walked a bit farther from Long Yi with her body shrouded in a layer of milky white radiance. It goes without saying that light and dark was opposing elements, so she instinctively rejected the dark aura emitted by Long Two.

Long Yi nodded his head and sprinkled seasonings on all the roasted meat, causing a burst of aroma from the freshly cooked meat. This fragrance awakened the gluttonous worm in his stomach and he no longer went into the flights of fancy. Even his soul had pa.s.sed through time and s.p.a.ce to arrive at this world, this proved that nothing was impossible.
