Chasing Light

All our lives, we chase after each other, both longing to become each other's light. In the endless abyss, I fantasize about our next life. You are the one I never dared to hope for, yet now yo...

Mo Liangchen extra story

Mo Liangchen extra story

The laws of heaven and earth, watching everything return to normal, though ruthless, knew that someone had sacrificed everything to achieve what they had today. Although Ling Jingxia's soul had dissipated, his physical body remained. So, they created a new soul for Ling Jingxia and transformed him into a pure white little fox, accompanying Mo Liangcheng every day.

Mo Liangcheng didn't dislike the little fox's company much. Sometimes he would transform into a mortal and wander around the mortal world, and the little fox would quietly follow behind him. Because of the little fox's arrival, the blank parts of his memory slowly awakened. He was eager to find that unknown answer, and this time the laws of heaven and earth did not stop him.

The mortal realm was bustling with activity. The little fox, newly arrived in the mortal world, quickly lost its way in the noisy human world. Several villains, who had never seen such a beautiful white fox, cornered the little fox in a dark alley. The little fox had never experienced such a situation before and immediately wanted to run away, but it was still just a little fox that had not yet transformed into human form. How could it escape their grasp? A mournful fox cry entered Mo Liangcheng's ears. It was the little fox. He quickly followed the sound and found the little fox trembling with fear in the dark alley.

A man grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and lifted him up. The little fox bared its teeth, trying to bite him. The man glanced at it and said, "Behave yourself. If you keep acting so fierce, I won't hesitate to pull out your teeth one by one. You'd better behave, or I'll make your life easier." Someone nearby asked, "Brother, do you think this beast understands you? Besides, look at its fur; it's obviously from a wealthy family. Is it some rich person's pet?"

Before the leader could reply, a figure suddenly appeared. "The little fox is mine!" It was Mo Liangcheng. He looked at the fox being held in mid-air. When he said those words, the little fox suddenly felt that Mo Liangcheng at that moment was like a ray of light shining into the darkness, and that it was being saved. The leader glanced at the little fox in his hand. He thought, how could he so easily return what was in his hands? He gave his henchmen a look. The henchmen understood their boss's intention. They turned around and glared at Mo Liangcheng. The next moment, they all rushed over. The leader didn't forget to say to Mo Liangcheng, "If you beat all of us, I'll give this little fox back to you!" In his eyes, Shen Mucheng was like a young master from a noble family, unarmed and without any weapons. He probably wouldn't be able to get this little fox back and would even have to risk his life. It wasn't worth it!

Unfortunately, Mo Liangcheng was a former general, so dealing with these people was a piece of cake. Soon, his underlings were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Mo Liangcheng didn't care, only coldly asking, "Can I take my little fox with me now?" The leader released his grip on the little fox by the scruff of its neck. The little fox quickly ran to Mo Liangcheng's feet, seeking comfort. Mo Liangcheng chuckled and picked up the poor little fox, politely thanking the leader.

Nestled in Mo Liangcheng's arms, the little fox gazed at the distant lights of countless homes. Recalling the scene of Mo Liangcheng rescuing him at the alley entrance, he couldn't help but have delusions. He felt that he could stay with him like this forever. These thoughts, like wildly growing vines, wantonly invaded his heart. These delusions were also the ones that later dragged him into that abyss, a place of sorrow from which he could not escape.

The little fox left his embrace and sat beside him. Mo Liangcheng slowly began to speak to the little fox: "In my hazy memories, there was a boy. I couldn't see his face, I couldn't hear his face, but I knew that I loved him. It was a love from the bottom of my soul, a love etched into my bones. But I didn't know who he was, and I didn't know where to find him!"

The little fox listened to him confess his love, and he was stunned. He had just fallen for this man, and now he said he had someone else in his heart—it was like a bolt from the blue. Although the little fox was heartbroken, he touched Mo Liangcheng with his paw. Mo Liangcheng looked at him, and the little fox pointed to the river lanterns on the bank. Though confused, the little fox tried to cheer himself up. Mo Liangcheng took the little fox to buy several lanterns, lit them, and placed them in the water. Watching the lanterns slowly drift away, the little fox was surprised to find many fireflies on the riverbank. He chirped excitedly, while Mo Liangcheng seemed to have his memories turned on, and scenes from the past flashed before his eyes. Ling Jingxia hugged Mo Liangcheng one last time, "My love, goodbye!"

When he woke up, the little fox looked at him with a worried expression. Mo Liangcheng was devastated. His lover had died for him in that battle, and he had forgotten him.

Later, he returned to that cold palace, where he was alone with the little fox. Sometimes he would hold the little fox and tell it his story with Ling Jingxia over and over again. The little fox listened again and again. He felt that if he wasn't with him, he would be too lonely. The little fox thought silently, that young man exchanged his life for his own every year, but he forgot that the person who lived in his place was in even greater pain.

Later, I transformed into human form and excitedly ran to show Mo Liangcheng. The moment he saw me, he stared in shock, muttering, "Xiaxia, is it you who's back?" Seeing my strange expression, he realized I was the little fox who had accompanied him every day. At that moment, he reverted to his cold, aloof self. Sometimes, when I wanted to share funny stories with him, he said he didn't want to look at my face. He thought I was imitating his lover's appearance before her death, but he forgot that I had never met his lover...

One day, Mo Liangcheng fell ill with lovesickness, and could only find relief in alcohol. He wanted to wallow in the dreams of the past, unwilling to wake up. Every time he got drunk, I would take care of him. The bitterness that welled up inside me would only erupt at those moments. I didn't understand; that person was no longer there, yet he couldn't forget him. Sometimes, I would appear in his sight with the face of his lover, and he would affectionately call me Xiaxia. I hated that face. Until later, he pinned me to the bed and kissed me. I was kissed so hard I was incoherent, and my clothes were torn to shreds by Mo Liangcheng. But the murmurs from his mouth are ones I will never forget: "Xiaxia, the night is long, let's spend this beautiful night together!" I came to my senses. What he did today was nothing more than treating me like a stranger. I couldn't bear such humiliation. I pushed Mo Liangcheng away, put on the torn clothes, and tried to maintain my last laughable and pathetic self-respect. I fled from there. I didn't want to see Mo Liangcheng again.

Mo Liangcheng remained clear-headed throughout. He understood the little fox's feelings for him, but he couldn't accept them. Although he looked exactly like Ling Jingxia, Mo Liangcheng knew that he was him and the little fox was the little fox. He had resorted to this desperate measure to make the little fox give up this meaningless relationship. He also understood the meaning behind Ling Jingxia's last words. Ling Jingxia was thinking: May you always live as the young man in my heart, so that even if I am gone, you can live a carefree life on your own.

But I, Mo Liangcheng, cannot do it. I remember everything. I have wronged you. Now I want to repay your deep affection with my life, but I also know that my life was bought with yours. I have no right to do so. I want to spend the rest of my life seeing all the beautiful landscapes for you. Little fox, I also owe him something. Although the method is not a good one, I know it is the best way to keep him away from me... In the end, I still want to say: "Xiaxia, I really miss you. I can't let go of you. I only have a blind loyalty to you until death!"

Unfortunately, in the empty palace, no one responded to his overwhelming love. He eventually became another version of himself... A pot of wine, a person, and an empty palace. No one dared to approach him. It was as if he was the only one in the world, carefree, leisurely, and extremely happy! The laws of heaven and earth looked at Mo Liangcheng, shook their heads, and left.
