Chapter 119.1: Am I Very Ugly? Why Wont You Come And See Me?
Shang Yanran's explanation made the most sense. Even if the Blood Master still retained a sliver of humanity, he'd have chosen to sever his heart-pulse, preventing himself from bringing disaster upon the living world.
Everyone was deeply moved, their respect toward their master rising to an even higher level. Where the great Buddha had failed, the Blood Master prevailed.
"No!" Canary tried to approach the Myriad Phenomena Gate, but to no avail. "Blood Drop mustn't sever his heart-pulse!”
Once, she had been nothing more than a carefree, little golden canary on Nine Plate Mountain. How could she ever grow used to the separations and partings of the mortal world? Above all, the one who left her was her childhood sweetheart!
"Is there any way at all to save Blood Drop?!" Canary stared at Shang Yanran with pleading eyes. "I'm begging you."
Seemingly recalling something, a trace of sorrow flickered in Shang Yanran’s eyes. "Now that we have reached this point, there's only one method left. However, instead of saving him, we might be reviving the Blood Demon instead.”
Everyone fell silent.
Bai Ze's expression twisted with conflict before he finally said, "If reviving him would turn him into a terrifying Blood Demon, wouldn’t that go against Master’s wishes? Is there truly no other way?"
Shang Yanran said, "Master has already severed his heart-pulse. Even if we revive a Blood Demon, it will merely be an ordinary inner demon."
"Save him!" the little old man South Palace Big Dog declared without hesitation.
"Save him," the usually taciturn Foolish Daoist echoed.
"Master passed his techniques to me and saved my life. It's time for me to repay him!"
