Xiao Yi [Through the eyes of others]
The shrieking whine of the Alarm Arrays woke Wu Gui from his slumber. Getting up with a groan, he turned his head towards the approaching Head of the Night Duty Detail and barked out a sharp order.
" Report "
Snapping to attention, the Cultivator burst into a brief report: " Boss, the Arrays detected the presences of cultivators approaching out position from 5
Li away, i've dispatched Yang to scout for their numbers and cultivation levels with his Spirit Bird "
" Hmrph, get the Cattle to serve me some wine while we wait " so saying, Wu Gui sat on his traveling chest as his subordinate hastened to fulfill the order, commanding the nearest mortal he could spot to bring wine.
Within a few minutes, the wine was brought to Wu Gui by a young girl about 10 years in age who served him with trembling hands as she poured it into the goblet Wu Gui held out to her. Sniffing the wine in appreciation and embracing the metallic aroma waffling from the goblet, Wu Gui gulped down the goblet of Blood Wine, enjoying the rich iron taste it left on his tongue as well as the unique flavors added to it from the souls of the mortals added during the distillation process.
Savoring the aftertaste, Wu Gui couldn't help but muse about his current situation. Ever since the Civil War between the Blood Cannibal's 2 Nascent Souls started, Wu Gui saw the writing on the wall and knew that with his 9th Heavenstage Cultivation he would serve as nothing but cannon fodder to both powers. Quickly fleeing the sect with some trusted juniors as well as the Clan's stock of Quality Human Cattle, he managed to avoid being drafted by either power and within a decade into the conflict managed to established himself as a purveyor of Quality Cultivation materials to both sides.
For 40 years, the war allowed him to raise generations of Human Cattle who knew nothing but the fate of being slaughtered, their docility and the needs of the war allowed him to quickly amass resources, enough resources to even begin preparing his attempt to challenge the Foundation Establishment Tribulation. But it was all ruined when Corpse Gulper was killed, within a year of his death, Wu Gui found himself fleeing his Farm and culling his stock, only bringing with him the cattle that had the spark for cultivation.
I'll make it all back! Once i make it to the Devil Bees lands, i'll be able to sell these cattle to them as Cultivation Furnaces, with the wealth i get, i'll ascend to Foundation Establishment and seek entrance into the Devil Bees!
The sensation of something warm and sticky on his hand woke Wu Gui from his thoughts, snapping to attention he noticed that the young mortal girl had spilled some of the wine onto his hand while refilling his cup. Growling in anger, Wu Gui hit the girl with a quick backhand knocking her to the ground. With his hand still raised, he channeled his Qi towards it making it take a reddish glow as he prepared to kill the girl for her mistake.
Before he could strike, his attention was caught by the return of his subordinate who quickly reported his findings. " Boss, Yang reports that there seems to be about 10 Cultivators mounted on Spirit Beasts approaching our convoy, he thinks the strongest is 9th heavenstage like you, but seems to have just entered it. They seemed to be Golden Devils, most of them have that golden hair on their heads. "
" Shit. I was prepared to bribe them with some of the cattle if it was Old Cannibal or Corpse Gulper's men. If it's the Golden Devils, we'll have to fight. Get the men here and bring all the cattle into the center of our camp. Tell Yang to wake up all his Spirit Scorpions and get Wei to start laying down arrays to protect us. " Quickly snapping out orders that stirred the camp into a frenzy, Wu Gui ignored the trembling girl before him and return to his tent to dress for battle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun had just started to rise by the time the Golden Devils came into view. Wu Gui now wielding his Ghost Banner, quickly gathered his men around him as a sole member of the force rode out towards him.
" Child-Eating Butcher Wu Gui, surrender now and we'll give you a quick death! Don't and we'll kill you and ensure your soul is used to refine pills! " The arrogance of the Golden Devil Clansman drove Wu Gui into a rage, yelling back in response
" You think just 10 of you can take me and my boys! We survived being a merchant to both sides of the War and drove away countless attempts to take our goods, you think a Greenhouse flower like you can take us !? Come then! Your flesh will allow me to ascend into Foundation Establishment ! "
Without further words, the Golden Devil returned to his group and within seconds the cavalry troop started making it's way towards Wu Gui and his men. As the unit started to break into a canter, a translucent golden armored horseman started taking form over the riders, growing more and more solid as they made their way towards Wu Gui.
" Steady. Steady. Steady Boys... We dealt with this before! We just need to take their first charge! The blows will weaken after that. Yang! Get your scorpions ready, i want them to begin ambushing the Golden Devils from the sands the minute they let this Formation fade. Wei! Grab a few of the cattle and use them to augment the Arrays to wreck havoc after the scorpions separate them from each others. "
After snapping out his orders, Wu Gui prepared himself to receive the charge. Standing in the back with the cattle, he stationed his men in front of him, with a majority of them working in tandem to call froth a blood red barrier to blunt the charge while the rest prepared themselves to launch a counterblow the moment the barrier was breached.
" KILL " With a shout like thunder the Armored horseman hit the barrier with a resounding crash, shattering it and throwing most of the defending cultivators back except for 1 poor soul who found himself impaled through the chest.
" NOW! " At the shouted command, the remaining cultivators launched into an attack launching waves of spells and Sword Qi slashes at the formation before it could recover from the Qi intensive charge. Wu Gui knew what he would see when the dust and debris from the attacks faded, dead and dying Golden Devils and a flicking insubstantial Armored Horseman.
The years of war had taught the Cannibals that once the Horseman's Charge was defended against, as long as it was prevented from riding off the formation was easy prey to any retaliation attacks launched. However, contrary to Wu Gui's expectations he was greeted with the sight of a Golden Soldier holding a Greatshield that was still smoking slightly from the attacks.
Panicking slightly, Wu Gui bellowed at Yang, " Send in your Scorpions! It's impossible to switch Formations so quickly without any drawbacks! Get the Queen Scorpion to focus on shattering the formation and it's brood to kill them when it shatters! "
With the sound of a shrill whistle, a enormous scorpion burst from the sands and charged at the Golden Soldier, It's claws grappling at the Soldier's limbs and it's tail flickering into a flurry of strikes. The Soldier took a brief step back to dodge the grasping claws before dropping to a kneel and covering it's body with it's shield as it blocked the Scorpion's stinger. As the tail strikes started to slowdown, the Soldier lunged from it's position, deflecting the Stinger away from it with it's shield and stabbed with the spear held in the other hand, punching it through the beast and causing it to collapse with a groundshaking quake.
" Shit. Yang, get it back up! Yang. " Turning towards Yang, Wu Gui found himself stunned by the sight before him. The Scorpion's stinger had been deflected so that it pierced through Yang, ripping him into shreds. Feeling a chill on his spine, he turned back and noticed that the Golden Soldier had faded away revealing the 10 Golden Devils each individually attacking the smaller scorpions with golden glowing weapons.
Watching as they carve away at the scorpions with ease and made their way towards him, Wu Gui have out another order. " Wei! Activate the arrays now! Blow them to bits! " Upon hearing the command, Wei ripped his dagger through the throats of the two cattle kneeling before him and activated the prepared array, causing a sea of fire to
slam into the Golden Devils.
Panting from the effort of bellowing his last few orders, Wu Gui couldn't help but plead softly under his breath " Die you monsters, Die! i don't believe the blood augmented Corpse Fire Array can't burn you all. " As the sea of flame burned without any signs of stopping, Wu Gui felt the tension leaving his shoulders at the sight of the dead Golden Devils. Turning back to his men, he started preparing them to move out before a search party was sent for the dead cultivators.
" Good Job Wei, Let's pack up. Get the Cattle ready to move and kill the older ones and those that can't walk on their own. We need to leave now and travel into Devil Bee lands before noon. " Just as Wu Gui was about to head towards his tent to prepare for departure, a flicker of motion among the flames caught his eye.
" No. No. Nonononononno! That's Impossible! " Wu Gui's cry of despair caught the attention of everyone, as all attention was turned to the flames, the sight of 10 Golden Devils riding out of the flames with glowing golden armor on them and their mounts drove the camp into a panic.
" Wei! Hit them again! " However, before Wei could do anything a Golden Devil burst into motion striking down at him with a wave of Saber Qi. Seeing Wei attacked was the straw that broke the camel's back, without any words to each other, the cultivators present each brought out their escape techniques, each seeking to flee the Golden Devils.
" Go. Let none escape. " At that simple command, the remaining 8 Golden Devils and their mounts charged at the fleeing cultivators, with some shooting glowing arrows and some flinging shards of glass at the cultivators that got the furthest away from the chaos.
Staring in terror as the sole remaining Golden Devil started making his way to him, Wu Gui's trembling hands gripped his Ghost Banner and with a flush of Qi called forth all the Spirits remaining within it. As the ghosts started to stream out of the banner and take shape in the form of indistinct silhouettes wielding spears, Wu Gui felt his confidence start to return as the numbers seemed to grow to hundreds.
" Let me go Golden Devil! Even you can't fight off a hundred ghosts by yourself! Before i was a merchant i was a Beast Cultivator on the Ghost Path, I have arts that will enhance these ghosts to even greater heights! Not even your 9th Heavenstage cultivation can fend them all off! Let's call things even. You can have everything in the camp, keep the Cattle. Just let me go, when i'm 2
Li away i'll command the Ghosts to return to my banner. "
Instead of a reply, the Golden Devil and his Spirit Beast just continued their slow predatory stalk towards him. As he approached, Wu Gui observed a golden glow start to manifest over the Golden Devil's Ji and the Claws of his Spirit Beast while Jade scales appeared to overlay itself over his body. Gritting his teeth at the Golden Devil's inflexibility, Wu Gui gave the command to attack to his Ghosts with a wave of his banner, using his mental bond with the artifact to reach out to all the ghosts present.
As the ghosts charged at the Golden Devil, Wu Gui observed as the Clansman fought in harmony with his beast. The claws of the Qilin mount striking at the weaker ghosts to clear a path while the mounted cultivator landed devastating thrusts at the ghosts who still had enough sense of self to attack with their weapons instead of just swamping the duo.
Wu Gui hastily gave the ghosts another command, commanding the weaker ghosts to surround and pin the duo down so that the stronger ghosts could stab at them with their spears. However, without a single word being said, the duo changed their behavior. The Qilin moved with guile, ensuring that only 2 or 3 ghosts faced it anytime, always moving to a new position whenever it looked like they would be surrounded while the Golden Devil focused fully on attacking the ghosts in question, striking at them with a series of stabs from his Ji and palmstrikes from his hands.
Horrified with the ease that the duo used to work their way through his strongest technique, Wu Gui reached within his robes and took out his Life Saving Treasure. A blood red horsetail whisk that he stole from the Sect Treasury before he fled. Hitting himself in the chest and spitting out a mouthful of heartblood, Wu Gui forcefully activate the Treasure, using the heartblood to call froth the ghosts of the cultivators sacrificed to create the whisk.
A sense of dread filled the air as the ghosts took form, each as red as blood and radiating cultivation levels of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation. Letting a shriek of mad glee, Wu Gui gloated in triumph. " You should have accepted my offer Golden Devil! Now know despair and DIE ! You ruined my life-saving treasure, i'll be sure to use you and your beast to forge a new one! "
With a wave of his hand, Wu Gui commanded the ghosts to attack, his eyes glinting with malice at the thought of the duo before him being torn by the blood ghosts. As the ghosts approached the duo, to the confusion of both Wu Gui and the Golden Devil they slowed and gradually came to a halt. The blood ghosts surrounded the Golden Devil and after a moment all so opened up a path through the ghost horde towards Wu Gui who's maniacal laugh died with a whimper.
Sweating badly as the Golden Devil made his way along the path opened up by the blood ghosts, Wu Gui sacrificed another mouthful of heartsblood to forcefully activate another layer of restrictions on the whisk, torturing the blood ghosts souls with it in an attempt to force them to protect him from the Golden Devil. Despite the flashes of pain that appeared on the faces of the blood ghosts, not a single one wavered in their decision panicking Wu Gui even further as the Golden Devil sped up at the looks of pain on the faces of the Blood Ghosts.
One by one the Blood ghosts started to collapse and dissipate, the souls maintaining their form extinguishing from the pain. However, regardless of how many of them disappeared the path towards Wu Gui remained opened. Dropping to his knees as the Golden Devil approached within the range to strike at him with his Ji, Wu Gui began kowtowing and begging for his life
" Please Great Lord, spare me! I swear i'll change. i will enter a Buddhist sect and pray of the souls of my victims, I'll devote myself to charity! I'll save 10 times the number of souls that i killed, only have mercy on me Great Lord! "
" No. " With the only word spoken to him since the battle began, the Golden Devil thrust his JI through Wu Gui's back pining him to ground in his begging posture before pulling out a Yin stone and capturing Wu Gui's soul as it left his body.
" We'll keep our words. Your soul will go to the forges. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Golden Hero made his way towards her and the other slaves, Mei Gui was filled with awe at the way he dealt with the Master. He was just like the stories Grandpa Cui had told her about! Of Golden Cultivators roaming the lands and righting wrongs, killing evil doers and freeing the oppressed.
" Mama mama! Look Grandpa Cui was right! " In her joy, Mei Gui turned her head towards where her mother should be before freezing to the halt at the empty space before her. Tears filled her eyes as she remembered what had happened just a few hours ago.
Mei Gui stumbled away in fear as the Master lowered his hand and started bellowing orders. As the other mortal slaves were driven towards the center of the camp with the lashes of the cultivators, Mei Gui made her way towards them seeking out the reassuring presence of her mother and father.
" Mei Gui ? Why are you here ? Shouldn't you be serving the lords as the attending servant tonight ? " Her mother's worried tone calmed her heart, rushing into her embrace Mei Gui muttered her reply softly.
" I spilled wine on the Master's hand, i think he was gonna kill me before Lord Zhao returned with news about an approaching group. "
" Oh Mei Gui, how could you be so careless... ? Our ancestors must be looking down on you for the Master to be distracted by the news. Stay here, we'll hide you for now. Hopefully the Master would forget about it by sunset. "
Relaxing in the arms of her mother, Mei Gui couldn't help but wonder who were these Golden Devils whose presence had spared her from death ?
Her answer came with the rise of the sun. Throughout the remaining hours in the night, Mei Gui had watched as the Lords prepared for battle with Lord Yang burying his scorpions in the sands including the Giant Scorpion that ate her uncle and with Lord Wei wandering around the camp setting up glowing patterns that faded into the air.
The preparations were interrupted by the shout of a sentry and the arrival of a Golden flash far off in the horizon. As Mei Gui watched, the Golden speck got closer and closer eventually revealing Lords clad in Gold mounted on Fantastic Spirit beasts, appearing just as the half-whispered tales told by Grandpa Cui described. As a lone hero demanded Master's surrender, Mei Gui couldn't help but hope that their freedom was at hand.
Alas, her hope were shattered by the bellows of rage that came from the Master who's new orders sent the entire camp scrambling. Just as she cowered within the arms of her mother, she felt something grab her and yank her out of the crowd of mortal slaves.
" So you're the cattle that annoyed Boss. Just because Boss was to busy to give you the punishment you deserve doesn't mean you get away from it. Luckily, i have need of a mortal slave's help. Follow me, do what i say and i'll put in a good word for you. "
Looking up at the voice, Mei Gui found herself staring at Lord Wei who seemed to have taken her silence as assurance and was starting to stroll off while beckoning for her to follow. Before she could make a move, Mei Gui found her parents stopping her.
" Lord! The girl is young and unlearned, she might make mistakes that ruin your great plan. Use me instead. " Her mother's offer made Lord Wei turn back, the sheer weight of his irritation driving everyone to their knees.
" Alright fine. But you're old and your essence is only worth half of the girl. I need one more person before i'm willing to leave the girl be. " Without speaking a word, her father handed her over to another slave and stepped out of the crowd.
" I'll do it lord. "
" Excellent! Follow me here and put these blindfolds on! Don't even think of peeking on my secret arts. " so saying, Lord Wei forced her parents to their knees and started drawing more of the glowing patterns while chanting in a strange tone.
The sound of thunder drew Mei Gui's attention to the front of the camp, the sight of the lords being sent scattering drawing a quiet gasp from her. Within the span of a few moments, Mei Gui observed sights that would remain in her memories forever.
A Great Golden Soldier taking down the enormous scorpion known among the slaves as Thousand Eater
Flashes of light and invisible attacks that wiped out the rest of Lord Yang's Scorpions
The sight of Lord Wei cutting her parents throat !
The remembrance of her parents death drove Mei Gui to her knees, sobbing openly and loudly now that the Master was dead and no longer able to stop her from expressing her grief. Wailing at her pain, her freedom and that her parents were no longer there to enjoy it with her, that it was her fault that they were dead.
By the the time she came to her senses, Mei Gui found herself riding on a Great beast with a Golden Hero as he led the other heroes and the mortal slaves away from the ruins of her past life.
" Are you awake young one? I've heard of what happen from the other mortals. I apologize, it was my decision to confront Wu Gui. I gave him time to prepare, the death of your parents is on my head. "
The mention of her parents bought fresh tears to her eyes, masterfully controlling herself and remembering her mother's lesson about politeness, she replied to the Golden Hero as gracefully as she could muster
" Its not your fault Lord, we all had a inkling that they would be going to their deaths. They did it because they loved me. If Lord had chosen to attack suddenly, i fear that Master would have killed all of us. We only survived because the Master believed he could beat you and your men. "
" I see. You are wise for your age young one. Yet I am a Cultivator of the Golden Devils, and we know that all actions have consequences. I vow that i will ensure that you are not left destitute upon reaching Clan Lands, i will ensure that you will have a trade. " So saying, the Golden Devil reached into a saddlebag and pulled out a book as well as a small pouch.
" Treat this as were-gild, i took this from the body of the one you called Wei. Most of his Arts and items were Blood Path and we had it destroyed, these however are untainted. It's a secret book on Arrays and a pouch of Spirit Stones, you should be able to trade these for a wealthy life to any array shop in the Clan. Or if you want to tread on the path of cultivation, these would give you a start. "
Mei Gui looked with renewed interest at the items in her hands. They represented Power, a way to ascend beyond the realm of mortals, a way to become someone who mattered, for it is the cultivators whose actions would shake the realm. She knew that the road would be tough, that she will suffer, she will fight, she will bleed and she might even die before achieving any of her dreams, but the chance offered was something she could not pass up.
Hands gripping tightly to the gift, with emotions choking her throat, Mei Gui made her choice
" I accept the offer lord, i would like to be a Cultivator "
" Very well. I have a acquaintance that is a formidable Array Cultivator. If you're willing to share the lore of the book with him, he would be willing to accept you as a disciple, guiding you in the ways of cultivation. The dedicated teaching he can provide will probably help you more then entering the Clan as a general cultivator. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Sigurd! Are you in ? "
The deep rumble of the voice calling his name woke Sigurd from his daze. Raising his head from it position on the counter, Sigurd looked up to see Xiao Yi entering his shop with a small girl in tow.
" What do you want ? And who's the girl ? You kidnap her ? " Unusually, instead of accepting Sigurd's jeers like he usually did, Xiao Yi's face turned black for a moment before he gave his reply.
" No. My platoon and I saved her and about 20 Mortals from Child-Eating Butcher Wu Gui. Due to my attack, she lost her parents. I brought her here partially to make up for that. "
Xiao Yi's reply made Sigurd wince at his insensitivity, quickly looking to change the topic he called for one of his assistants to bring the girl into the shop for a meal and a bath. Turning back to Xiao Yi, Sigurd couldn't help but ask with a quizzical tone " You do know that i run an Array Shop right ? I'm not sure how bringing her here will do anything ? "
" She has this. " So saying, Xiao Yi threw out a book on the counter in front of Sigurd and gestured for Sigurd to open it up.
"
Natural Arrays: Ways to seize the power of Nature by Wei An ?? This is a secret book of the Wei Clan! I heard that they were all gone and their arts lost! Their insight in forcefully manipulating naturally created Arrays to serve them could be what i need to enhance my own understanding! Where did you get this ? "
" The Wei were not all lost, but they maybe now. Got this from one of the Array cultivators with Wu Gui, the girl's parents were killed by him to power an array used to attack us. I gave it to her as recompense for their deaths. Since she wants to be a cultivator, i thought of bringing her to you. She's willing to trade the lore within the book for a slot as your disciple. " The nonchalant way Xiao Yi replied to his query drove Sigurd mad,
" ARE YOU INSANE ?? Do you know how much this book is worth to Array masters ? And you just gave it to her ? "
" Yes. Like i said, i need to make things right. Anyway, that's not all i'm here for. I got this after killing Wu Gui " Reaching to his hip, Xiao Yi removed a Red Horsetail whisk from where it was hanging and dropped it on the counter.
" He used it to summoned Blood Ghosts of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, but strangely they didn't attack me. Instead they assisted me in getting to Wu Gui so i could kill him. I'll like you analyze it. "
" That's interesting, let me see what i can find. " Picking up the whisk, Sigurd bought it to an jewelled Array build into a stone table. Putting the whisk in the center of the Array, he let his Qi flow as he looked into the whisk's past.
Flashes of memories blossomed before him, scenes of blood and slaughter, of one after another Blood Cannibal using it to call froth blood ghost to kill Mortals, cultivators or even their own kin all in the pursuit of greater power. Gritting his teeth and forcing his mental will pass the images, Sigurd reached deeper. Seeking out the origins of the whisks, for a reason on why the Whisk behaved in the fashion described to him by Xiao Yi.
A group of Clansmen laughing with each other as they patrol.
The same group fighting together, their formations a sight to behold
The group rising up the ranks and being dispatched on a mission to assassinate the rising Core Formation cultivator Child Gulper.
Failing the mission and being captured.
Each member being tortured within sight of each other, always aware but unable to help
Of finally being killed only discovering their souls were trapped.
Of how their souls were bound within the horsetail whisk that was used to absorb their blood and cultivation.
Of the years of slaughter and of acts that went against everything they believed in as Golden Devils.
And lastly, of being used by a Qi Condensation Cultivator instead of the usual Core Formation.
Coming back to his senses, Sigurd hastily reached out for the nearby pot of tea and poured himself a cup. Drinking about 3 cups before he felt calm enough to provide his analysis to the patient Xiao Yi who just stood silently.
" You're really lucky. This artifact is pure blood path. It was forged with the souls and blood essences of our Clansmen. If it wasn't for the fact that the user was a Qi Condensation Cultivator and not the required Core Formation Cultivator, you would be dead. Wu Gui's cultivation wasn't high enough to override the wills of the clansmen trapped within, so he could only attempt to force them with pain. "
" i see. In this case, please dispose of this artifact and set the souls of our kin free. I'll leave it to you explain to the girl her new status "
Sigurd hastily jumped to his feet and yelled for Xiao Yi to stop as he started walking to the door, causing the later to look back with a puzzled expression.
" Could you let me finish ? I've managed to convey what happened to the souls within the whisk and already made the offer to free them, they refused. They want to go with you instead, give me a moment and i'll be able to rework the whisk into something usable for you. It won't be as powerful as the whisk and would only be good for one use, but their souls will be free after that. "
" Why would they want that ? " Rolling his eyes at Xiao Yi's denseness, Sigurd laid out the whisk before him and began scribbling an array on it as he explained why the souls of those who had been used to commit blood acts would want to thank the person that freed them from the torment.
" Anyway, here. I'm done. I turned it into a tassel you can tie to that monstrosity you can a Ji. Using it as you are now will grant you the cultivation prowess of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator because that's all you can handle at the moment. If you can somehow not use it till you hit Foundation Establishment, you'll be able to get the cultivation prowess of a Early Core Cultivator. Now you can scoot. "
Shaking his head as Xiao Yi left, Sigurd hung up a CLOSED sign as headed to the back of the shop to introduce himself to his new disciple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was an attempt to write about Xiao Yi without using his POV even once, hence i apologize if anyone got disgusted by the Wu Gui parts since i was trying to convey the way a Blood Path Cultivator would have saw the world and the Mortals in it.
A bit of stealth setup for my next Good Seed if Xiao Yi dies as well. Mei Gui or her descendants would be my next good seed and as can be seen, she'll be Array focused. Sigurd was there to expand on the boon i'm asking for this turn, which is the Realm Surpassing Attack Buff. A bit of future proofing as well in case the starts align and Xiao Yi doesn't need to use it till his in Foundation.
Norse name so i can maybe bring in some Varangian Guard elements when i build the 2nd Good Seed. I was going to break each POV into it's own omake and have it as a 3 part short, so i can put up the fight scene before the good seed report. But since it's coming soon, going to post this for next turn
Thankfully Heaven/
@occipitallobe takes into account POV changes so Xiao Yi should still get that Fate Help for Tribulation purposes. 😅
Really considering using this alternative POV style from now on, it's definitely easier for me to write since i already have an imagery of what Xiao Yi is doing, so another POV is literally how i see the scenes. For example in the combat scene, it was way easier describing what happened compared to explaining each move and what it does like i did in the previous omake.
Hopefully, the 3 POVs here do give a good enough idea of what Xiao Yi is like. Posting now and getting back to read the Good Seed Report
