However, when the topic of healing her body came up, Xi Xi clearly became serious, and her eyes filled with undisguised hope and desire.
"Master, can you really help me heal my severed arm and leg?" Xi Xi grasped Lin Yun's hand with her one remaining hand, her voice humble and pleading.
Lin Yun was her only lifeline, her only hope.
"Of course. I said that as long as you submit to me, I will grant you a new life," Lin Yun said with a smile, gently stroking Xi Xi's hair.
Xi Xi gazed into Lin Yun's eyes, then slowly placed his hand on her chest, allowing his warm palm to feel her heartbeat.
"Master, from now on, this heart of Xi Xi's will only beat for you."
Lin Yun: Offer your loyalty!
Xi Xi: Without hesitation, Master!
"I see your resolve." Lin Yun withdrew his hand, stood up straight in front of her, and looked down at her sitting on the rock.
"Then... get ready to welcome your new life!"
Lin Yun waved his hand, and two heavy lead boxes suddenly flew out of his soul tool. They opened with a click, and two bones of different colors flew out.
It was a dark purple left leg bone and a sky-blue right arm bone. Each of them exuded an extremely terrifying soul power fluctuation, which even caused ripples in the water of the Lake of Life nearby.
The hundred-thousand-year Left Leg Bone of the Ghost Leopard Emperor!
The hundred-thousand-year Right Arm Bone of the Sky-Piercing Falcon Emperor!
Yes, these were two soul bones, two agility-type hundred-thousand-year soul bones!
Lin Yun currently had two ways to help Xi Xi regenerate her limbs. The first method was to cut a part of the Gold of Life from the bottom of the Lake of Life, fuse it into Xi Xi's body, and use its life force to cleanse her body and regrow her severed limbs.
The second method was to use the life force of the Gold of Life as a medium to assist Xi Xi in absorbing the two high-quality soul bones, mimicking Tang San's process of healing Tang Hao, and rebuilding her right arm and left leg.
As for why he wasn't using the Gold of Life he himself had fused with to help Xi Xi heal?
Because it couldn't be done.
The life force guided from the Gold of Life was limited. It was enough for healing, but it didn't have the ability to regenerate limbs.
To use the Gold of Life for limb regeneration, the only way was to fuse the Gold of Life into the body.
Compared to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, Lin Yun thought the Gold of Life was a bit more precious. What's more, these two hundred-thousand-year soul bones were "donated" from Shrek. Using them on Xi Xi, Lin Yun didn't feel a bit of heartache.
On the contrary, he felt extremely satisfied.
Using your Shrek's things to turn a "useless" student you kicked out into my dog, and then having her turn around and mess with you guys.
This is... so much fun!
The six hundred-thousand-year soul bones that Shrek had used to trade for the corpse of the Infernal Apricot had positions that didn't match at all. Among them were two agility-type soul bones, and by a great coincidence, these two agility-type hundred-thousand-year soul bones corresponded to Xi Xi's severed arm and leg!
Now, Lin Yun was going to use Tang San's method, with Shrek's resources, to turn a former inner court disciple who had believed in Shrek into his personal maid!
"Are you... ready?" Lin Yun stretched out both hands, each holding a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and looked at Xi Xi with a calm smile.
At a time like this, it was important to maintain a sense of style!
Xi Xi's breathing stopped when she saw the hundred-thousand-year soul bones held in Lin Yun's hands.
She had wondered how Lin Yun would heal her body and how she would repay him after her body was completely healed.
But what Xi Xi hadn't expected was that Lin Yun would actually bring out two hundred-thousand-year soul bones!
The Ghost Leopard Emperor, agility-type, dark attribute.
The Sky-Piercing Falcon Emperor, agility-type, wind attribute.
Although they were different from Xi Xi's lightning-attribute martial soul, as agility-types, these two soul bones were treasures that Xi Xi had never even dared to dream of before!
She had never even absorbed a soul bone before, but the first time she was in close contact with them, it was with two hundred-thousand-year soul bones!
'Am I... really that valuable?' At this point, even Xi Xi couldn't help but ask herself this.
While it was a demeaning thing to measure her own life with material value, when faced with two hundred-thousand-year soul bones, she really couldn't help but compare her life to these two soul bones.
No matter how she thought about it, the only conclusion she could reach was:
Her life was not worth two hundred-thousand-year soul bones, not even one!
"Master, Xi Xi... how can I be worthy of this?" Xi Xi looked at Lin Yun with teary eyes, her voice hoarse as she spoke.
"Whether you are worthy or not of absorbing these two soul bones is not for you to decide," Lin Yun raised an eyebrow, not giving Xi Xi any chance to object. "Remember what you said. From today on, your life is mine. Whatever I ask you to do, you must do it obediently."
"Even if I tell you to die, you must slit your own throat without hesitation. Only then will you be worthy of what I have given you."
"Do you... understand?"
"As long as I have the power to take revenge on Shrek, I am willing! I am willing to do anything!" Xi Xi's hesitation and panic vanished, and the flame of anger burned in her eyes.
"Even if it means death... it's the same!"
She was keeping her promise. Even if it cost her everything—her dignity, her body, her life—she would not hesitate.
"Hmph hmph hmph... the show is about to begin!" Lin Yun smiled coldly, using his spiritual power to lift Xi Xi from the ground, causing her to float beside him. "Since you're not even afraid of death, I suppose you won't care about a little pain, will you?"
Swoosh swoosh—
A cold, white-golden blade flashed. The abrupt appearance of the Golden Dragon's Death Scythe cut open the already healed wounds on Xi Xi's arm and leg, slicing off a piece of flesh and bone.
This was equivalent to making her experience the pain of having her hand and foot severed again.
But Xi Xi only grunted, clenching her teeth tightly. She didn't let out a single moan or wail. Even as her gums bled from clenching her teeth, she stared with wide eyes, showing no hint of cowardice.
That's right, she wasn't even afraid of death. What was a little pain compared to the flame of anger in her heart!
"Very good, very good... Only a person like you is worthy of fighting for me. Only a person like you is worthy of being my dog!" Lin Yun grinned, his pale teeth showing a cruel side.
"Go!"
Lin Yun threw the two hundred-thousand-year soul bones toward Xi Xi. Supported by his spiritual power, they were pieced onto her severed limbs.
