Chapter 70: Guan Hai Si My obsession has been obtained...

At night, Ji Lingche was sitting on the cliff, with a ball of fire hanging in the air beside him, burning with crackling sounds.

She looked at the sea quietly, listening to the waves hitting the cliffs, her mood gradually calmed down, the firelight reflected in her pupils, dyeing the side of her face red.

Qu Wu Ji gently hugged her from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder.

Neither of them spoke. For a moment, their breaths intertwined, and she was warmed by the firelight beside her. She closed her eyes gently, feeling extremely peaceful, as if all her troubles had been lost.

Qu Wuji whispered: "Alan, can we stay here forever..."

Ji Lingche slowly opened his eyes and held his slightly cold hand.

She only felt Qu Wuji holding her tighter.

After a long pause, she whispered, "Then you're just going to ignore the Immortal Alliance and Taihua Yuxu?"

Qu Wuji smiled wearily and said, "It doesn't make much difference whether I care or not."

Ji Lingche lowered his eyes and leaned against him, not saying a word for a long time. Only the hanging ball of fire could be heard ringing in his ears.

He whispered, "But, Alan, I will always be with you."

"Wherever you go, I will follow you. No matter what the outcome is, I will not regret it."

She held his hand tighter and whispered, "You know, if possible, I actually want to stay here with you forever."

"I like the sea, and I like you too. I like picking up stones, shooting seagulls, and fishing every day..."

"I really hope this is the end of time."

Qu Wuji seemed to pause, nuzzled her neck gently with the tip of his nose, and whispered, "Alan..."

Ji Lingche raised his hand, touched his cheek, and said softly: "But, are you willing to let this go?"

She seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be asking herself.

Qu Wuji closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said with a smile: "How can I be willing to accept this?"

"How can I bear to see your hard work go to waste? How can I bear to see you fail and fall apart? How can I swallow this anger?"

She was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he was talking about his own obsessions, she said, "What about you?"

"Qu Wuji, don't you have any obsessions anymore?"

Qu Wuji turned his head and gently kissed her cheek, smiling softly: "My obsession..."

My obsession has been achieved.

She tilted her head and said calmly, "After we get out of here, if you get entangled with me again, do you know what will happen?"

Qu Wuji didn't answer, so she continued, "If you hang out with someone like me, you'll end up like me, ruined."

He smiled: "So what?"

She said, "...You carry my killing calamity in you, Qu Wuji. One day I might kill you."

He laughed and said, "If you leave me alone, I would rather jump into the sea and die now—"

Before he finished speaking, she covered his mouth and frowned, saying, "Don't say such things again."

He made a few soft "Pooh" sounds and said, "I won't say it again."

His tone was slightly grave: "If you want to fight against the laws of nature and turn the world around, then we will do it. What's so scary about it?"

"If you lose, you will just die. I will accompany you."

Ji Lingche leaned against him, his body temperature coming from behind, his broad arms wrapped around her warmly, and the cold fragrance from his body drifted over faintly.

She lowered her eyes and murmured, "Qu Wuji, why are you so nice to me..."

He didn't say anything, but just hugged her tightly and pulled her into his arms.

Together they listened to the endless rolling of the waves.

Ji Lingche thought for a long time and said, "Let's go to Moxuling tomorrow and look for some rare herbs. Maybe they can be used."

Qu Wuji smiled and said, "Okay."

…

Moxuling and Wuwanghai are actually two places, but they are connected.

The sea area facing this cliff is the Wuwang Sea.

But the mountain where this cliff is located belongs to Mo Xu Ling.

The cliff faces the vast sea, and behind the cliff is a vast forest, rolling hills and stretching mountains.

Those mountains were called Moxuling.

Like Kunlun, this place is known as the place that reaches the sky. It is said that immortals sometimes stop here. It looks quiet, but it is full of dangers.

The mountains and forests are filled with miasma, but they are not caused by magic. Instead, they are natural miasma pulled by the tides of the sun and the moon, gradually forming a killing array. There is no pattern to follow, and if you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.

What's more, there are countless secret tribes of spiritual beasts here, hiding murderous intentions. The cultivators dare not enter without permission. No one dares to enter the Baili Hills for many years.

Therefore, people often say that Moxuling, like Kunlun, is a place of law created by immortals in the mortal world. Mortals are not allowed to enter without permission. If they anger the immortals, they will be punished by heaven.

Those were a pair of blood-red eyes, like rubies. Such red eyes paired with the huge snow-white deer head made them even more beautiful.

I saw a giant deer, its whole body was snow-white, and it was faintly glowing in the sun. Its glittering fur, coupled with a pair of antlers that were so white that they were almost transparent, made it look like the mount of an immortal.

Ji Lingche stood not far away, looking at the white deer, and whispered to the people beside him: "Seven-colored deer, isn't it beautiful?"

"Under the sunlight, its fur can reflect seven colors of light. Mortals regard this as auspicious, and it is very rare to find—"

"If we strip off the fur and take it to the capital, we can trade it for the title of Duke from the emperor's son," Ji Lingche laughed. "In the past, there were cultivators who specialized in trading with mortals. Those cultivators were quite advanced, each of them reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. They would hunt these deer in the forest and then sell them to mortals. Those mortals would then use the deer skin and antlers to make a huge profit."

Upon hearing this, Qu Wuji said coldly, "This kind of behavior is truly despicable."

These monks colluded with mortals, not for their money, but took such a huge risk to enter the mausoleum to hunt deer. There must be a more filthy business behind it.

Ji Lingche raised the corner of his mouth and sighed softly, "This fur only looks good on a deer. What will it look like if I peel it off?"

Qu Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you kill all the poachers?"

She sneered, "Not only did I kill them, I also peeled off their skins, spread them out neatly, and hung them on the trees. When the wind blew, they rustled."

Qu Wuji was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's really something you can do."

Ji Lingche folded his arms and said leisurely, "These monks are colluding with the gentry, using deerskin to trade for slaves under the landlords, and using mortal hearts to refine human pills—"

Those monks wanted to practice the evil art of human sacrifice, but they knew that if they wantonly abducted mortals, they would definitely be discovered by the Immortal Alliance. So they colluded with the landlords and gentry in the mortal world and killed slaves. Under the oppression of the gentry, they could not expose the Immortal Alliance in this way, and could do it without anyone noticing.

She sneered, "Those gentry got hold of this deer and brazenly brought the deer head to the capital, leaving it right under my nose. How could I not kill them for being so arrogant?"

"Besides, this Moxuling is also my Dharma Palace. These people came in and killed the deer I raised. They deserve to die."

Ji Lingche suddenly blew a whistle, and a dozen leaves suddenly appeared in her palm. She waved at the deer -

The deer suddenly heard a whistle and seemed to be frightened, with its back tensed. But when it turned around and saw Ji Lingche in the distance, it walked towards her excitedly, rubbed the back of her hand affectionately, and then began to chew the leaves in her palm.

Qu Wuji was a little surprised and said, "Is this really your deer?"

She lowered her eyes, watching intently as the deer nibbled at the leaves in her hand. Seeing it was about to finish its meal, she saw it produce more. She said, "There weren't any deer like this in Moxu Mausoleum. I brought this one all the way from Zeyuan."

Qu Wuji frowned: "Zeyuan?"

"...Wasn't Zeyuan sealed off by the Immortal Alliance a long time ago?"

Ji Lingche sneered: "I will go only if you seal me off."

Her tone grew softer and colder, "When Zeyuan was destroyed, I felt resentful, but I was young and there was nothing I could do."

"I can only go there after everyone in the Immortal Alliance has left. I wanted to see if I could find a few survivors, but when I went there, after searching for a long time, I only pulled out two frightened deer from the ditch—"

Zeyuan Tan family.

Let’s talk about something solid.

...Speaking of Zeyuan, we have to talk about the young female head of the Tan family back then.

Many years ago, she severely injured the demon lord Ran Lou, leaving his face disfigured and his body covered in festering sores.

In order to seek revenge, the Demon Lord opened the seal of the Abyss of Eternal Ashes, which led to endless disasters.

Her family was also cursed, and all of their descendants could no longer form elixirs.

But in order to shirk responsibility, the Immortal Alliance put all the blame on the female head of the family.

In order to appease the Demon Lord's anger, they even threw the descendants of the female cultivator clan into the Abyss of Eternal Ashes as sacrifices.

Zeyuan was destroyed because of this.

At that time, the descendants of the Zeyuan Tan family were either killed directly for refusing to obey, or were abducted and thrown into the Abyss of Eternal Ashes. Only a small number of members of the clan managed to escape.

When Ji Lingche went there, the entire Tan family had already turned into ruins.

She was accompanied by her senior brother at that time.

Tan Yi Gu knelt blankly in the ruins. Although he had left home long ago and joined the Xiaoyao Sect, he vomited blood when he saw his clan being destroyed.

He grabbed Ji Lingche's clothes and kept saying that he wanted revenge.

Ji Lingche was young at the time and simply asked, "Brother, should your revenge be attributed to the demons or to the Immortal Alliance?"

…

The two searched for a long time, but found that the place was deserted. Even if there were any tribesmen who had escaped the disaster, they would be hard to find. In the end, they only pulled out two deer from the ditch.

The people of the Immortal Alliance were only concerned with looting and had no time to care about the spiritual beasts. Although these two deer were beautiful, they were nothing in the eyes of the cultivators.

Tan Yigu was young at the time, and he cried bitterly while holding the deer legs, saying that his last relatives were actually two deer...

The two men had no choice but to lead the deer back to Xiaoyao Gate, but the deer refused to eat anything and became thinner and thinner day by day. Seeing this, Tan Yi Gu was so worried that he fell ill and became thinner day by day.

Ji Lingche had no choice but to take the two fawns to many places, and finally led them to Moxu Ling.

Who would have thought that these two fawns would thrive here and gradually grow stronger...

When Ji Lingche saw the deerskin and deer head presented as tribute in Shangjing, delicately displayed on a gilded chopping board, his memory instantly drifted to Zeyuan, where ruins were everywhere.

She also thought that her senior brother, who had been very kind to her, was no longer alive.

…

Ji Lingche thought about all these past events and suddenly felt annoyed. He threw the leaves in his hand to the ground, and a pile of them instantly appeared. The deer started eating them.

But she turned around and walked forward on her own. Qu Wu Ji knew that she was thinking about the Zeyuan Tan family and her senior brother again, so he lowered his eyes, said nothing, and just followed her closely.

The affairs of Zeyuan had nothing to do with him. When the Immortal Alliance destroyed Zeyuan, he was just a small disciple of Taihua Yuxu, far from being involved in the affairs of the Immortal Alliance, but he still felt guilty.

After a long while, he gently held her hand and whispered, "Alan..."

Ji Lingche did not shake him off, but continued to walk forward silently.

After walking for a long time, she suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at him, and said, "Qu Wuji, I have to go to Yunzhong Yin Clan to take a look."

"Then we have to go to the old Hua family residence..."

Qu Wuji held her hand tightly, looked at her with calm brown eyes, and said only: "Take me with you."

Ji Lingche paused for a moment, then walked over slowly and said, "This time we go out, we may never come back."

Qu Wuji suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense. After this is over, we still have to watch the sea here until the tide recedes, until..."

Until the end of the world.

Just you and me.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: The matter of the female head of the Tan family was mentioned in Chapter 15. This foreshadowing has been buried for too long. Have you forgotten it?

At that time, there was a little girl named Tan Xuening who was kidnapped by Yin Pei and was about to be thrown down as a sacrifice. Later, she was saved by Yin Lanxin and became Linghu Jin's apprentice...

Why do I mention her again? Because she's about to appear again. Hahaha, I was afraid everyone would forget, so I mentioned her in the middle of the conversation. [Dog head holding a rose]
