The Devourer - 88 You Belong To Me.

Ling Tian was looking at this beautiful woman more closely and saw that she had a green fist sized sword patterned seal on her upper right arm. In order to accomplish this, Ling Tian didn’t have to activate any of his eye bloodlines as Ling Tian’s base perception is enough to see through such things with ease.

” And what’s your great grandfather’s cultivation level?” Ling Tian asked with an indifferent expression as he simply kept staring at the Ancestral Blood Scier Seal on the black haired beauty’s right upper arm.

” Half-Step Divine Emperor Realm…” The black haired beauty said in a low voice. She looked at Ling Tian to see what sort of reaction he would show, but, Ling Tian seemed as if he didn’t even hear her words.

” Why would you think I would help you?” Ling Tian asked.

” I–”

” The seal on you is at its last stage you know? Even a peak Divine Emperor is unable to help you.” Ling Tian said in an indifferent tone.

” I know that I can’t be saved. But please help my two nephews. I beg you. I’ll do anything you want, if you save them.” The woman said in a pleading tone.

” You’re really overestimating yourself. What use could you possibly be to me? Your body? Sure you’re beautiful, but it ain’t worth it for me to expose my identity over you.” Ling Tian said with an indifferent tone.

” Ling Tian, please help sister Yan… She’s been through a lot.” Su Fengxi pleaded for the black haired beauty as well.

” …. ” Ling Tian simply ignored Su Fengxi’s words.

” First answer me. What is your name?” Ling Tian asked the black haired beauty.

” ….. Lin Yanran….” The black haired beauty said in a quiet tone while sniffing. It’s obvious that she was holding back her urge to cry.

” You… You’re a divine cultivator! Should you be crying like this? You’re losing quite a bit of face here.” Ling Tian said while trying to hide his awkwardness.

Ling Tian would have usually simply agreed to such a beauty’s desperate request. But after the last time he spared Madara once, Ling Tian began to understand that his kind and merciful personality might bring him too much trouble in the future, even if he is insanely powerful.

In this world where only the strong and decisive will survive, Ling Tian’s kind and merciful personality is not the best attitude one should have.

Ling Tian knew this better than anyone as he had all of Devil God Virtyq’s knowledge. But…

Ling Tian couldn’t bring himself to abandon his original personality. A personality that his ‘Mother’ liked and loved about him. Whenever Ling Tian thought of the nun who raised him on Earth, Ling Tian would feel his mind at ease, at the same time, he would feel longing towards Earth and desire to be able to go there at least once so he could see his ‘Mother’ again.

Ling Tian looked at the beauty in front of him and asked, ” What are the names of your nephews?”

Lin Yanran raised her head and looked at Ling Tian with her tear stained eyes and said, ” Lin Ling’er and Lin Ke’er…”

Ling Tian didn’t show any surprise as he already knew that Lin Ke’er is related to this woman.

Su Fengxi had a small smile on her lips as she looked at Ling Tian.

” You said you’ll do anything right?” Ling Tian asked Lin Yanran.

” Ling Tian! What are you saying?!” Su Fengxi exclaimed.

Lin Yanran looked at Ling Tian with a startled expression then after some time she nodded.

” Mn. Okay then. From now on, you are mine. Your everything belongs to me. In return, I’ll get rid of that stupid blood seal.” Ling Tian said.

Lin Yanran got excited when she heard Ling Tian agreeing to help her nephews but her excitement dimmed when she heard Ling Tian say that she belongs to him.

Lin Yanran looked at Ling Tian and saw that he didn’t really look at her with any desire. At this point, it was obvious that Ling Tian was simply finding a reason to help her as he didn’t want to help for nothing.

‘ I’ll die in a few years. If I can fulfil my promise I made to my brother, then that’s all I need.’ Lin Yanran thought in relief at the same time felt guilty.

” Ling Tian! Why are you doing this?! If you want to help, then just do it! Why demand such absurd things?! I didn’t think you were the type to take advantage of a pitiful woman!” Su Fengxi said.

” What makes you think I’d do something for others without me gaining anything? I’m a Saiyan! The reason I helped you before was because I felt like it. Now I claimed her as mine, because I felt like it.” Ling Tian said.

” What do you mean by that?” Su Fengxi asked.

” It just means, I’ll do whatever I want to do with no care for the consequences of my actions. The concepts of good and bad means nothing to me.” Ling Tian said.

” You…. How can you be so selfish?!” Su Fengxi looked at Ling Tian with an expression of disbelief.

” Selfish? Of course I’m selfish! I’m not some Buddha! The reason I pursue strength is for my revenge. Not for the sake of helping others! And what makes you think I have any obligations to help others?” Ling Tian asked with an irritated expression.

” …. ”

” I’m barely sixteen years old! How much effort and life and death moments do you think it took for me to attain the level of strength I have, while there are so many people who have worked hard for thousands of years, even about a million years and don’t have the level of strength I have.” Ling Tian asked while saying in his mind, ‘ Barely any effort at all. It has always been my luck that did everything.’

” I….” Su Fengxi realized that she was acting selfishly, not thinking about Ling Tian. Divine Emperors rarely come out of their seclusion and them helping Lin Yanran is almost impossible.

” I’m sorry… *sob* I’m really sorry…” Su Fengxi started to shed tears.

Ling Tian got startled and started to get nervous.

” Oh fine! You win! Don’t cry now! I was only trying to look a bit cool! Please don’t cry! I’ll help anyone you want.” Ling Tian moved close to Su Fengxi while trying to make her stop.

‘ Why do women cry so easily?’ Ling Tian thought bitterly.

” Fengxi! It’s alright! I don’t have much time left. If he can help my nephews, then I’ll do everything he wants me to without regrets.” Lin Yanran said.

” Sister Yan… Why would you say such a thing?” Su Fengxi asked as she stopped crying.

” The Ancestral Blood Scier Seal on her has already entered its final stages. She has four years at best.” Ling Tian said.

” … It can’t be.. But why would Elder Lin put such a seal on sister Yan….? Ling Tian?” Su Fengxi said as she looked at Ling Tian, expecting an answer.

Ling Tian’s eyes twitched when he saw how Su Fengxi was treating him like an encyclopedia. Actually he was sort of an all knowing encyclopedia.

‘ System, why is it that these people don’t fear me after witnessing my might? On the contrary, they are getting more and more frank with me as if I’ve been their buddy for years. Every single time, the same thing happens. I don’t remember cultivators being so casual.’ Ling Tian asked the System.

[It’s because of host being the Nature Immortal. A Nature Immortal is a being closest to the very meaning of the origin of Life and its evolution. In other words, when others are with host regardless of their race or gender, they will feel closer to their origin and will gradually became closer to you just like the nature itself. Host subconsciously rejects men so the perk of Nature Immortal is not applying on male gender. But it won’t be the same if host is unconscious.]

” …. ” Ling Tian didn’t know what to think. All this time, the reason why others were not showing him respect for his power while treating him amiably is because of his Nature Immortal Body and his status as the Nature Immortal. Because they feel closer to their origin when Ling Tian is near them, they feel no fear towards Ling Tian. After all, who would feel fear towards their origin? They only feel longing for it.

‘ Dammit all! This is not good at all. I need to find a way to control my Nature Immortal perks. I want the respect that my strength deserve!’ Ling Tian thought.

” So? Why Ling Tian?” Su Fengxi asked.

” The seal itself is only a part of a cultivation technique. It’s a pretty evil cultivation technique. Basically the old man will retrieve the seal once it reaches its completion and with that he will use it for cultivating his technique, his cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds.” Ling Tian said.

” What?!” Su Fengxi and Lin Yanran exclaimed in shock.

” That man… He was using his own descendants to cultivate such an evil technique…! That heartless monster..!!” Lin Yanran’s face twisted in anger. Su Fengxi was also reacting in the same way.

” Well, Lin Yanran, I’ll accept your request! Hence forth, from now on you belong to me.” Ling Tian said.
