Chapter 261 Spiritual Sustenance
“Lin Yin…!” Huan Ruge tugged hard at Lin Yin’s sleeve, her tone filled with urgency and doubt.
Lin Yin slowly turned around, his deep eyes calmly gazing at Huan Rugo, but he did not speak.
Huan Rugo stared intently at him, a flicker of fear and anger in her eyes: "Why are you in Fangcao Village...? Everyone in the village is dead, why are you the only one alive...?" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to control her emotions.
Lin Yin remained silent for a moment, offering no explanation: "...!" He simply stared at Huan Rugo, as if nothing he said could clear up the misunderstanding.
However, Huan Rugo's gaze towards him gradually changed, from initial fear to suspicion and unease.
"You doubt me? I was the one who massacred the village, wasn't I?" Lin Yin's voice was low and calm, without any emotional fluctuation.
“I didn’t doubt you…! Have you forgotten what you said yourself?” Huan Rugo’s eyes hardened. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Heh...! I did say I would massacre the village...! But I didn't kill your mother, and I didn't touch a single blade of grass or tree in Fangcao Village."
"Lies...?" Huan Rugo shouted angrily, her eyes wide open, venting all her emotions on Lin Yin.
"Are you crazy? I've already told you, I didn't kill your mother. She was already dead when I arrived at Fangcao Village...! Besides, if I had killed your mother, would I be waiting for you to misunderstand me?" Lin Yin tried his best to explain, attempting to convince Huan Rugo of his side of the story. But no matter what he said or did, everything seemed so weak and powerless, and Huan Rugo's expression grew increasingly strange.
Hearing Lin Yin's words, Huan Rugo had nowhere to vent her emotions and collapsed to the ground: "If it wasn't you, then who was it...?" She suddenly fell into an endless abyss.
Lin Yin noticed Huan Rugo's strange expression and felt a pang of heartache, unable to bear it any longer. His heart skipped a beat, and he made a plan. He changed his mind and told Huan Rugo a white lie: "It was me, you're right. What do you want?"
Upon hearing Lin Yin's words, Huan Rugo felt as if she had grasped a lifeline, suddenly finding hope. She looked up at Lin Yin, her eyes cold as ice, and asked in a chilling tone, "Why didn't you dare to admit it just now, and why did you admit it now...?"
"Does it matter whether I admit it or not?" Lin Yin asked Huan Rugo in return.
“Important…!” Huan Ruge pulled a dagger from her waist.
"You want to kill me...?" Lin Yin sneered, "Hmph...! With your abilities, it's impossible...! Even if I killed your mother, so what? What can you do to me...?"
Huan Rugo knew very well that Lin Yin was a god, and killing him was harder than ascending to heaven. Even if she wanted to avenge Xiao Yuanran, it was impossible. After Lin Yin's intentional or unintentional reminder, Huan Rugo regained some of her rationality. She suppressed her anger and resentment and withdrew her killing intent: "I wouldn't dare...!"
"You dare not...? Hmph...! If you dare not, then why did you break the ice...? What good would it do for you and me...?" Lin Yin continued to remind Huan Ruge.
"I just don't understand why you killed my mother...?" Huan Rugo sheathed her dagger and stared intently at Lin Yin.
"Since that's the case, then you'd better live well. One day you'll figure out why. Whether you want to kill me or find out why your mother died, live well, and one day you'll understand...!" Lin Yin said to Huan Rugo again. Regardless, he only hoped Huan Rugo would have something to hold onto, that she could live on, even if he could only be her enemy.
