Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1459 - Feeding On Virtues

"Wait, what?!" Naturally, the twins' group was completely shocked by what they heard. "What do you mean by coming with us?"

The big Kibin then explained, "I told him to follow you from now on. Didn't you want someone to help you pass through the continental barriers? My kid here can do that."

It didn't matter how they looked at it. It was just way too good to be true. "What's happening here? Why would you simply entrust your kid to strangers out of nowhere? It's way too suspicious. Way too easy! We just met a few hours ago. From where did this trust come from?" said Rean. Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Rean.

"From my check on your souls," the Big Kibin answered. "You didn't notice it since your cultivations are too small. My Kibin Race can check the souls of other living beings, using it to determine whether they're malicious or not. Surprisingly, the three of you are fine. The colors of your souls tell me that you're the type who really cares for those who are close to you."

The twins immediately asked Sister Orb, 'Sister Orb, shouldn't the system block this kind of access to our souls?'

[Not really. What the system blocks is anything that can harm it. He didn't try to touch your souls at all, only checking them from afar. That's why the system had no need to do anything. Your souls had never been in any danger in the first place.] Sister Orb explained.

Rean then noticed something, asking, "The three of us? Do you mean Kentucky, Roan, and me?"

The big Kibin nodded, saying, "Yes. That Blade Tail Shark is the greedy and scared type, but it's only being forced to follow your orders, so it doesn't count. The difference in strength between you is vast as well. Anyway, his type is the most common in the Realm of Gods. As for the two girls and the kid... the kid with the Sacred Eyes is fine. But this little girl and her mother have been tainted quite a lot already. Well, that's a very common sight in the Realm of Gods and especially continents like Treavin."

Falangia sighed in response but didn't deny it. She did tell Rean before that she did everything to survive and help her daughter. She did kill quite a few people and did other kinds of evil deeds before. It goes without saying that she is far from being someone with a good nature. Though, it puzzled her why her daughter would be put inside the same basket. "Is my daughter's soul really as bad as mine?"

The big Kibin shook his head. "Not really. However, she's what I would call the untrustworthy type. It isn't very evident yet, but she will grow to become quite a deceptive woman. Then again, the two of you have extremely small cultivations, so it doesn't change my decision. What I'm counting on is the twins and the Minokawa, not the rest of you."

Obviously, Rafatia was confused about what the Kibin said. She was still very young, after all. However, Falangia didn't like it at all. "Could it be my fault? Is there a way to avoid it?"

Roan immediately stopped her, saying, "You should be happy instead. Good people don't live long in the Realm of Gods. If she wants to improve in the future, she will need this kind of ability, especially since her talent is average. Besides, isn't that the reason you yourself survived until now? Why would you think it's a bad thing? You should rejoice about that."

Rean couldn't help but say, "Well, I have always tried to be on the good side. However, I did kill a lot of people and demon beasts in the past, let alone Roan. How come the color of our souls are fine?"

The Kibin shook his head, clarifying, "I've never said you never killed anyone. If you truly haven't, I would never trust you to start with. Someone like that is bound to die if they're trying to reach a higher realm. What I meant is that you're trustworthy. The color of your souls is very, very clear. As long as someone doesn't try to do anything against you or don't go against your beliefs, you won't do anything to them. For example, I'm pretty sure you two have never killed anyone just because you thought that person had good loot on them."

Rean and Roan nodded in response. Indeed, they had never killed anyone just because they were greedy. There were times when they fought for some items and ended up killing someone. However, they never attacked anyone without a valid reason. Wars were a very good example of places where they probably killed some good people, but that wouldn't count since everyone who joined an army was aware of the chance of death. "Well... you're not wrong in that regard."

However, Roan was still confused. "Very well. I understand you can use this Kibin Soul Watching ability or whatever to tell if someone is evil, deceitful, greedy, good, trustworthy, and so on. However, what does that have to do with putting your son under our care? I've never heard about a continental barrier spirit following cultivators around."

The big Kibin nodded before he looked at his son, telling him, "You go and explain."

The smaller Kibin didn't seem very willing, but he still could see the colors of the twins and Kentucky's souls. With that said, he knew it was time. "Our Kibin Race has a very special ability. To be more specific, it's connected to the same ability that allows us to see the colors of everyone's souls. We... feed on those souls' virtues."

The twins narrowed their eyes, asking for clarification, "Are you saying you want to eat our souls?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

The big Kibin shook his head. "Far from that.. Simply put, you can simply keep being yourselves, and my son will benefit from it without causing any damage to your souls whatsoever."
