Chapter 1705: Chapter 46: This Body Like a SheathWatching his unwavering back, Fang Helling suddenly blurted out, “Help me!”
But that back did not stop, continuing to walk down the cliff.
Fang Helling followed closely, jumping off the cliff, shouting behind him, “No, not to help me. It’s to give me a chance to help you more!”
“You came specifically to save me, surely hoping I can bring more trouble to the Church of Lifeless, right?”
“I’m willing! As long as you can help me become stronger, I’m willing to pay any price. The Church of Lifeless is the organization I must eliminate, and Zhang Linchuan is my enemy, whom I loathe to the bone!”
Wang Changji’s figure halted.
He turned around, using that gentle yet distant gaze, looking at Fang Helling: “That bait was originally used to fish for me. So saving you was indeed just a convenient act.”
Fang Helling did not give up: “Since you have already saved me conveniently, why not expect me to play a greater role?”
Wang Changji’s expression was always extremely indifferent, whether in the initial confrontation or later when avoiding Lu Yan. This made him always seem separated by a layer from this world.
This included the way he looked at Fang Helling at this moment.
Neither expecting nor pitying, he just said, “Why do you think you can help me?”
“I am a waste, I admit it,” Fang Helling said. “Compared to geniuses like you, I’m completely a waste.”
He stared fixedly at Wang Changji: “But my desire to kill Zhang Linchuan is stronger than yours.”
Wang Changji’s calmness appeared indifferent, even cold at this moment, but he obviously didn’t care about Fang Helling’s feelings, merely saying in his usual tone: “Someone like Zhang Linchuan cannot be killed just because you really want to. Perhaps there are miracles in this world, but I’ve never seen one.”
“Even if I just bite off a piece of his flesh? Even if I just scrape a piece of his skin? Even if I just delay him for a moment, waste his glance?”
Fang Helling’s eyes had lost their blood-red color, but still possessed a nearly cruel ferocity: “I am willing to give everything I can, as long as I can play a tiny role in the process of killing him!”
Wang Changji indeed felt his determination.
He looked at him seriously for a few moments: “The person who gave you that swordsmanship must be very powerful. Why not let him help you?”
“He won’t help me.”
Fang Helling shook his head bitterly: “Except for Yanzi, he doesn’t care about anyone else’s life or death.
Everyone in the organization is like his toy, all easily replaceable.
If I want to get something, I must give something in return, but I’ve already given all I can.
I can undertake any dangerous task in exchange for the rewards he bestows. But he often forgets, sometimes not even knowing what he wants to do, so there’s not always a task.
My pace of becoming stronger has slowed down, I can’t afford to slow down anymore…”
Sometimes Fang Helling didn’t know whether being picked up by Yanzi in Wu Hui Valley was lucky or a greater misfortune.
He certainly gained much more power than he ever had in Fenglin City.
But looking at himself—
The discarded and remodeled Mediocre Meridians, the forcibly transplanted Malicious Divine Power, the utterly vicious swordsmanship that harms himself and others…
Even his own body was a price for Yan Chunhui’s repeated “adjustments.”
He no longer looked human, nor ghostly.
He had seen Yanzi cry in front of a mirror.
Though he couldn’t cry himself, he empathized with that feeling of revulsion towards one’s own body.
Wang Changji turned and continued walking down.
Fang Helling wanted to plead some more, but truly didn’t know what else he could strive for.
He was somewhat disorientated, unsure of how to cross this chasm.
No matter how he jumped, he seemed stuck in the mire.
No matter how he struggled, there was darkness without daylight.
“Follow me for now,” Wang Changji’s voice came from the front: “After I understand your current state, I’ll see if I can help you with something… Is that alright with you?”
“Alright! Alright!” Fang Helling quickly followed.
