Realm of the Night God

Feng Yaoshi's death made Yang Haoran feel sudden and regretful at the same time. After all, Alchemists were rare, and it was a pity that he had died.

However, what bothered Yang Haoran even more was that he hadn't gotten any benefits before Feng Yaoshi died, which left him feeling somewhat disappointed.

Feng Yaoshi had previously promised him a satisfying result, but Yang Haoran hadn't expected the result to be like this.

Although Yang Haoran didn't say anything, the young girl wasn't foolish and knew that her master had died, which made her cry even more sorrowfully.

The girl's painful wails brought Yang Haoran back to his senses from his shock. He looked at her and opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it without speaking.

Because he thought it was better to let the girl cry for now. Once she had cried her tears dry, she wouldn't cry again. Stopping her immediately wouldn't make much sense and might even make her more heartbroken.

Yang Haoran shifted his gaze from the girl to the various items scattered around Feng Yaoshi's body.

These items were all collectibles from Feng Yaoshi's independent space, which had either exploded due to his death or been opened by him before he died. Yang Haoran couldn't know for sure.

Among Feng Yaoshi's collectibles, there were books, boxes, and more containers.

Feng Yaoshi had just died, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to start checking his legacy right away.

But leaving without taking anything wouldn't be right either. He had put in a lot of effort and hadn't gotten any benefits. That wasn't his style.

"Since Feng Yaoshi is dead, why not take some benefits from his disciple? There must be something I need among these legacies. I'll choose a few items in front of his disciple, which shouldn't be excessive." Yang Haoran thought to himself.

In his opinion, his actions weren't excessive. After all, he had helped Feng Yaoshi a lot today, and Feng Yaoran had promised to give him a satisfying result. Whether Feng Yaoshi's promise was sincere or not, Yang Haoran had taken it seriously.

Now that Feng Yaoshi had died without fulfilling his promise, taking a few items from his legacy wasn't excessive. Compared to others who might plunder all of Feng Yaoshi's collectibles, Yang Haoran thought his idea was quite benevolent.

Of course, this was just Yang Haoran's self-justification. He thought his idea was correct and not excessive, but how others would view it was unknown.

However, as soon as this thought emerged, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Disciple... disciple..." These two words kept spinning in his mind, and he thought of a very important question.

The girl crying in front of him was Feng Yaoshi's disciple, which meant she was also an Alchemist.

Earlier, when he entered the barrier, all his attention was focused on the barrier's interior because he was worried about traps. He hadn't paid attention to this question.

Later, before he could confirm whether there were traps inside the barrier, Feng Yaoshi suddenly died, and all his attention was drawn to Feng Yaoshi again. He was shocked and helpless, and again, he overlooked this question.

It wasn't until now that he suddenly remembered this question, which made his eyes light up. This content originates from M1VLEMPYR, My Virtual Library Empire.

"Could Feng Yaoshi's satisfying result be his disciple?"

Yang Haoran's speculation wasn't unfounded. As an Alchemist, Feng Yaoshi must have been clear about his physical condition and how much longer he could live. He should have been more aware of his situation than anyone else. Leading Yang Haoran here at the end of his life might have been to hand over his disciple to him.

Yang Haoran arrived here today, although he didn't explicitly state his purpose, but it's clear that he came for medicine, and Feng Yaoshi must be aware of this.

Feng Yaoshi had promised Yang Haoran a satisfactory result, but before his death, he didn't give Yang Haoran anything, instead bringing him here and letting him meet his disciple, perhaps to hint that Yang Haoran needed a certain medicine that his disciple could refine.

Thinking this, Yang Haoran felt that this was likely Feng Yaoshi's true intention.

However, he still had some doubts in his heart - didn't Feng Yaoshi worry that Yang Haoran would harm his disciple by bringing him here?

But after a brief thought, his doubts were dispelled.

Feng Yaoshi knew he was going to die, and regardless of whether he fulfilled Yang Haoran's request or not, he would eventually enter this barrier, and anyone would want to explore it. At that time, he would also discover the girl living inside the barrier, and if he had ill intentions, the girl's fate would be sealed.

On the other hand, if he didn't have ill intentions towards the girl, then whether Feng Yaoshi brought him into the barrier or not, the girl would be safe, and by bringing him in, Feng Yaoshi could show his sincerity.

In Yang Haoran's view, Feng Yaoshi must have considered this aspect, which is why he brought him into the barrier before his death.

Of course, this was all Yang Haoran's own analysis, but he believed his analysis was correct, otherwise, it would be hard to explain Feng Yaoshi's actions before his death.

In Yang Haoran's view, if the facts were as he analyzed, then Feng Yaoshi was a wise person.

As for Alchemists like Feng Yaoshi, even if they were evil, they wouldn't be easily killed, just like today, the black talisman masters who attacked Feng Yaoshi aimed to capture him alive, not kill him, which showed the value of Alchemists.

Yang Haoran thought he wasn't a good person, but he wasn't a ruthless killer either, and he had no reason to harm the girl, especially since she was an Alchemist, and he liked them too much to harm her.

Feng Yaoshi's true intention in bringing him here was no longer a concern for Yang Haoran, because he was convinced that this was the satisfactory result Feng Yaoshi had given him.

And what he needed to do next was to maximize his benefits!

He didn't leave the barrier, nor did he disturb the girl, but stood quietly beside her, waiting. After an unknown amount of time, the girl stopped crying, knelt in front of Feng Yaoshi's body, staring blankly at him with a lost expression.

Yang Haoran felt it was time, so he squatted down, reached out, and gently patted the girl's shoulder.

The girl was startled by his action, like a frightened bird, and moved her knees away, looking panicked.

"Heh heh, little sister, don't be afraid, I mean no harm," Yang Haoran said with a gentle smile.

Seeing the girl's face, which was both sad and wary, Yang Haoran continued to smile, "If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have waited until now, right?"

The girl seemed to have little guile, and after thinking for a moment, she felt that was indeed the case, and the wariness on her face slowly faded.

However, she didn't say anything, only shifting her gaze from Yang Haoran to Feng Yaoshi's body.

Yang Haoran saw the girl's reaction, and in this situation, he wouldn't give up communicating with her just because she didn't speak.

Earlier, he hadn't spoken because he thought the time wasn't right, but now he felt it was time to guide the girl.

"The most important person by your side suddenly leaves, this tragedy I've also experienced, and it was even more brutal for me, so I understand your feelings right now."

Saying this, Yang Haoran took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, then continued, "Life's journey must go on, and we can't stop because of someone's death. We must live on, and live more brilliantly, to honor the deceased and take responsibility for our own lives."
