Chapter 344
"What's your advice, then, Senior?" Lin Hui turned and threw the question back.
"I believe everything is meaningless," Fusheng transmitted through his mind-spirit. "Hard work, cultivation, growing stronger—none of it amounts to anything. Rather than exhausting yourself in pursuit of such hardship, you'd do better to indulge in pleasure and enjoy what time you have. At least that beats entering this world only to suffer."
"Then why doesn't Senior do the same?" Lin Hui smiled.
"I am a different matter entirely," Fusheng sighed. "But you—those three immense entities sealed within you grow more troublesome with each passing day. All your bitter cultivation will amount to nothing more than a meaningless struggle; you cannot escape them. You'd be better off keeping your head down and abandoning any thought of breaking through further..."
He was genuinely somewhat afraid of this boy, Lin Hui. Every time the kid returned after even a brief absence, he was measurably stronger. His cultivation speed was, in truth, extraordinary.
Yet set against his talent for causing trouble and drawing disaster down on himself, that speed barely seemed worth mentioning.
"If I never attempt it, how would Senior know I can't break free?" Lin Hui laughed. "Indulging in pleasure sounds appealing enough—but how do you enjoy yourself without the means to do so? How do you indulge when everyone around you can crush you without a second thought? Where would you even find the mood for pleasure in a situation like that?"
"You stubborn brat," Fusheng said, at a loss for a reply. He could only watch Lin Hui walk out of the Demonic Palace, his figure disappearing through the doorway.
