When Lu Siya saw the three-tailed Illusion Wolf standing together with Lin Chuan, she screamed hysterically, and rings of profound and complicated spirit tattoos appeared around her eyes. Spirit flames also gushed out of her temples.

Her mental power reached its maximum, and she summoned the stone snake again to bite the three-tailed Illusion Wolf.

But the three-tailed Illusion Wolf moved with the agility of a ghost. It turned into a white ray of light and tapped the stone snake’s head to jump in front of Lu Siya.

Blood spilled out of Lu Siya’s chest, and she was thrown away like a kite with its string snapped.

Once Lu Siya lost control of the stone snake, it crumpled and spilled all over the ground like a basket of apples thrown on the floor. It no longer had the strength to jump around.

Meng Chao’s teeth dug into his lip.

He wanted to go forward and save her, but it was too late.

Besides, he was a one-star superhuman, and Qin Hu was just at the peak of Earth Realm.

Lin Chuan, however, was at Heaven Realm. At that moment, even though the White Spirit had yet to reach the level of a Supernatural Entity and turn into the nine-tailed Illusion Wolf, it was still a Hell Beast.

If they fought against it head-on, they would have no chance to win.

“Whitey, stop,” Lin Chuan said with a dark expression. “We can’t kill her. She’s a mine explorer and a Spirit Sensor. We still need her to locate the Red Radiance Jade mine.”

The White Spirit seemed to understand his words. It nodded and stepped back.

Lu Siya refused to accept this gesture of mercy. She leaned against the wall and glared at Lin Chuan. “You’re calling it Whitey?! You actually became friends with a monster?! You’re mad, Lin Chuan! You’ve lost your mind!”

“Even if it’s a monster, it’s fine. At least Whitey has never humiliated me and never tried to kill me,” Lin Chuan said calmly. “Just now, Shen Yulong wanted to trample on my dignity and cut me to shreds. Tell me, should I give up on becoming friends with Whitey and instead become friends with a ‘human’ like Shen Yulong?

“Also, Siya, stop pretending to be righteous. You’re a woman who will do whatever it takes to reach your goal. You don’t care about how many of your kind you sacrifice to obtain the right to mine the Red Radiance Jade first, right? The term ‘humans’ has never been more important than ‘personal interests’ to you.

“I know that Whitey is a monster, but look at the corpses around us. How many of them were killed by Whitey? Only Shen Yulong. The other humans killed each other. So, to those who died, just who is more dangerous? Monsters or humans?”

Lu Siya looked around. Clearly, she had given up on communicating with Lin Chuan and was thinking about how she could launch a desperate counterattack.

While she regulated her breathing, she recovered her spirit energy in secret. Meanwhile, she changed the topic to stall for time. “It’s name is Whitey… Is it the White Spirit you have been chasing all this while? Didn’t you say that you won’t stop hunting it until one of you dies? So, were you terrified by it and decided to become its slave?”

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face, and he said, “Siya, stop wasting your breath. We won’t let you sow discord between us. Whitey and I have never had any hate between us. On the contrary, we’re helping each other and taking only what we need from this relationship. Do you want to hear our story?”

Lu Siya snorted coldly. “Do I have the right to say no?”

Lin Chuan gently caressed the White Spirit’s head.

It then ran away and started examining each corpse.

“Do you remember the first mission I carried out officially? I was to escort your cousin, Lu Silian, to train in the wild. At that time, I ran into Whitey.” Lin Chuan sank into his memories. Anger, pain, and great pleasure rose in his eyes.

“Of course I remember it well. You were attacked by a White Spirit, and aside from you, everyone died,” Lu Siya said. “You then swore that you will take revenge for Lu Silian, and from then on, you became the lonely avenger—Weeping Reaper!”

“Take revenge? For Lu Silian? Hahaha! Why should I take revenge for that wench? I killed Lu Silian with my own hands. I killed her with Whitey’s help! Hahaha!” Lin Chuan laughed so hard that tears spilled out of his eyes.

Lu Siya was shocked. “What?!”

“Aside from you, no one else in the Lu family has ever treated me as their equal. All of you saw me as your loyal dog,” Lin Chuan gritted his teeth. “It’s especially so for Lu Silian. Her mouth was even worse than Shen Yulong’s.

“She often said that without the Lu family, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I was branded by the Lu family a long time ago, and I am to serve her exactly like how I serve you. She also made even worse demands… I can’t say them, but I will never forget them!”

Lu Siya’s voice quivered. “Ah… Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would have helped you execute justice!”

“Forget it,” Lin Chuan said coldly. “You would definitely side with me when you face a competitor like Shen Yulong, but how could you possibly help me when you face the Lu family?

“At that time, your father was not satisfied with just becoming the general supervisor of the mining company and wanted to get an even higher position in Sky Pillar Corporation. He needed the support from Lu Silian’s father, which is why he sent me to Lu Silian’s team to kiss her feet.

“In a sense, I’m a present he gave out. Are the feelings of a present important? Would you break ties with your cousin and uncle for a present?”

Lu Siya fell silent.

“But that’s fine. I could tolerate it. In any case, I ran into similar events an unknown number of times ever since I stepped into the upper class society. I’ve heard those humiliating words countless times, and I tolerated them unless you coincidentally heard it as well,” Lin Chuan said expressionlessly.

“All the time I was in her squad, I carried out the duties of a loyal dog and even satisfied those creepy demands from Lu Silian. I tolerated all the humiliation until I hunted down a Blue Dragon Lizard in the wild and found an incredibly rare crystal that looked like a blue agate in its stomach.

“That was the first time I obtained such a valuable material. It could help me improve further.

“But Lu Silian insisted that she was the one who brought me out, and it was only with her commands and support that I obtained the blue agate-like crystal. So, it was her reward, and she insisted on snatching it from my hands.

“But do you know what made me the angriest?

“If Lu Silian had really needed the blue agate-like crystal or if she only had this one chance to obtain it, I would have let it slide.

“But she didn’t lack such treasures at all. The allowance her father gave her every month was enough for her to buy an even better blue agate-like crystal. She didn’t snatch the crystal away because she wanted to cultivate. It was because it was fun.

“She told me that herself.

“She said that she was only joking with me and testing my loyalty to the Lu family. If I gave it to her on my palms without any complaints, she would have given me two even better crystals if she felt good, because she didn’t care about this blue agate-like crystal, since it was of normal quality.

“But if I didn’t want to give it to her, it would show that I’m not loyal to the Lu family and she would snatch it away. Then, she would look for you and your father to tell them what happened so that you can punish me, the traitor.

“I don’t know what came over me at that time, but when I heard those things, my mind went blank. Thunder roared in my ears, and all the wrongs I suffered over the years just exploded. That’s why I fought against Lu Silian.
