Chapter 79: Meaning of Life
“The meaning of life is not in its length, but in the height of its burning.
I know what my brother wants. Years ago, his comrade died protecting him, and now he has died protecting his comrades. I think this is perhaps more meaningful than him living a humiliation life. I should hate the ghosts, not you.”
Leng Qing said to Song Tiantian, her eyes red.
There was a shimmer of water in her eyes, but she didn’t let it fall.
Her appearance looked very resilient.
She knew Leng Feng’s true inner thoughts. She only regretted that if she had stayed in Qingshan all along, perhaps Leng Feng wouldn’t have had an accident.
Even if something had happened, at least she could have spent more time with her family, and not have such regrets.
Leng Qing harbored hatred, but more than that, she hated the ghosts and herself.
Her elder brother had finally regained his once spirited appearance, with light in his eyes.
Yet she only stayed with her brother for one day before leaving. She always thought there would be plenty of time to spend with her family, but regrets always came unexpectedly.
“I think the Storm Tiger would also be very willing to contract with you. After it returned here, it was completely different from before. It refused to eat anything, not even its favorite food, not a single bite.”
Leng Qing listened to Song Tiantian’s words, her hands trembling as she reached out to touch the Storm Tiger.
All the posts on Leng Feng’s social media were about the Storm Tiger.
They were all photos of the Storm Tiger. The moment she saw the Storm Tiger, she felt as if she was seeing her brother.
Every video call, she could also see the Storm Tiger.
“Live well, and together we will defeat the ghosts.”
“Roar!”
The Storm Tiger let out a low growl.
Leng Qing cut her wrist, and blood instantly flowed out. The Storm Tiger also cut its palm with its claws. The two streams of blood mingled, forming a great power.
The Storm Tiger lowered its head and ate all the food Song Tiantian had prepared for it.
At this moment, the Storm Tiger broke through to become a Three-star Pet Beast, and Leng Qing, who was at the peak of the Three-star Beast Tamer realm, finally broke through to the Four-star Beast Tamer realm.
The fusion of two extremely tragic emotions resulted in an unprecedentedly good outcome.
This was an outcome Song Tiantian had not anticipated.
Leng Qing had previously received a message from Leng Feng, asking her to contract with the Storm Tiger if anything happened to him, and to treat the Storm Tiger well, stating that the Storm Tiger’s potential was no weaker than her Six-tailed Silver Fox.
In terms of pure power, the Six-tailed Silver Fox might not be able to match the Storm Tiger now.
This was because, in terms of species, there was a natural difference in strength between tigers and foxes.
Contracting with the Storm Tiger did not consume much of Leng Qing’s Mental Power, as the Storm Tiger was willing to contract with her, and she and the Storm Tiger already knew each other, having a certain emotional connection.
Leng Qing hadn’t cried before, but at this moment, for some reason, she could no longer control her emotions. She hugged the Storm Tiger and wept bitterly.
She couldn’t help but hug the Storm Tiger and weep bitterly.
She thought about everything Leng Feng had done for her.
The Storm Tiger’s talent had not diminished. Leng Feng had thought of it in his last moments.
Fortunately, she had come to contract with the Storm Tiger. She hadn’t refused the Storm Tiger out of worry that its talent would diminish.
At this moment, the increase in strength made her feel more confident in avenging her brother.
The moment she hugged the Storm Tiger, she felt as if she was hugging her brother. She felt as if Leng Feng was still alive.
Perhaps it was because the Storm Tiger still retained Leng Feng’s Mental Power, or perhaps it was because the Storm Tiger’s personality was very similar to Leng Feng’s.
Regardless of the reason, Leng Qing felt a sliver of warmth at this moment.
Song Tiantian gave Leng Qing space to vent her emotions and chose to leave.
Song Tiantian was very dejected. She called Father Song.
“Dad, how are you? I heard Captain Leng had an accident.”
“Captain Leng was a good person. When danger arose, he was always the first to charge forward. What a pity!
But now the ghosts are becoming more rampant, and they have harmed you and your younger sister Jiaojiao. I cannot back down. We are currently tracking the ghosts’ movements.
Tiantian, don’t worry. If anything really happens, it will be my life. Your Eldest Sister has saved enough money. See if you can help her apply for it so she can take Cold Fragrance Number Two sooner. This world is not peaceful now, and having more strength means more security!”
Father Song’s voice was also very low.
The Enforcement Team had almost lost people every day recently. He was also seriously injured. He was injured on this mission and was recuperating in the hospital, so he didn’t go, which saved his life. Only a handful of people managed to survive this time.
The ghosts are truly terrifying. They can possess human bodies. One moment they are teammates, and the next they are possessed by ghosts and attack their teammates.
Now, they almost test each other’s brainwaves every few minutes, so everyone can feel at ease and not worry about being attacked by teammates.
In the past, ghosts couldn’t directly control people’s bodies, and the order in which ghosts devoured brain cells wasn’t this fast.
In just one day, three people had already died.
They were all killed according to the order on the list.
Father Song was actually very worried about Song Tiantian. Song Tiantian was still on the list.
Song Tiantian could barely protect herself now, so he didn’t dare to let Song Tiantian take care of his children. He could only entrust them to his Eldest Daughter.
He wanted Song Ranran to break through to become a Two-star Beast Tamer first.
The stronger the strength, the greater the hope for safety.
After all, the ghosts could only instantly devour the brain cells of a One-star Beast Tamer at most. When facing a Two-star Beast Tamer, a Two-star Beast Tamer could struggle a bit and wouldn’t be controlled by the ghosts so quickly.
Moreover, teammates nearby would also notice the abnormality, and they wouldn’t be ambushed at all.
“Dad, you and Eldest Sister should come over! I’ve prepared a bottle for each of you. Although the amplification effect of the second bottle is much smaller, it can still have some effect and increase Mental Power slightly.
Ghosts actually devour people’s Mental Power. If one’s Mental Power is stronger, they will definitely be a little afraid.
Don’t worry about the money, I’ve got it covered!”
“Tiantian, your Eldest Sister and I have money. We’ve earned quite a lot recently. You spend your own money. You should also buy more potions to increase your Mental Power. Your Eldest Sister and I both know you’re on that list. You must take good care of yourself.
Your mother is also quite worried about you.”
Father Song didn’t want to spend Song Tiantian’s money at this time.
There was no need.
It was better to let Song Tiantian enjoy herself in these last days.
Only those who had truly faced ghosts would know how terrifying they were.
Even thinking about it now, Father Song felt a chill.
During these times, he had strictly forbidden Mother Song and Song Ranran from going out.
