Chapter 155 Choose to Save Him

After Xiaojiu finished speaking, Mu Cheng fell silent. She stood there, watching Tang Nuo struggling in pain, her heart struggling as well.

Her mind was like a mess, with a bunch of questions entangled in her, making it impossible to sort out the confusion.

"Don't you want to save him?"

"No." The answer was no, but she felt she was still hesitant about practicing the "Heart Knot" to save him without any scruples. As for what she was hesitating about, she didn't know and couldn't figure it out.

"Squat down and show you something."

Mu Cheng squatted on the ground as Xiao Jiu instructed. Xiao Jiu raised his paw and tapped Mu Cheng's brow.

Some images immediately appeared in Mu Cheng's mind.

These images flashed through her mind and disappeared in just a few seconds, but they left an indelible mark in Mu Cheng's heart.

She fell to the ground and couldn't recover for a long time.

About twenty minutes later, she came to her senses and yelled at Xiaojiu, "What do you know? What's going on between him and me?"

"I still say the same thing, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

"Really? Since you don't say anything, then I won't care about anything. At worst, I'll let him turn into a zombie, and you and him can continue to be your zombie kings." After saying that, Mu Cheng stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave the space.

"Just out of spite, I turned him into a zombie, making him unable to recover forever. Are you sure you don't regret it?"

Mu Cheng ignored Xiao Jiu's words and left the space directly.

"Mu Cheng, you'd better think carefully. This time, the master was seriously injured by that level 3 corpse. After a night, the poison has already penetrated his heart and lungs. If you don't save him now, he will forever be a heartless, fleshless, walking corpse."

Xiaojiu's words froze Mu Cheng's hand, which was about to start the car. She remained stiff for a long time before slowly leaning back on the seat. Then she raised her right hand and took off the ring on her ring finger. There was a small dark green "No" totem on her finger.

This totem appeared when she activated the space ring with her own blood. At that time, she didn't care about it and didn't think it had any meaning.

After her rebirth, when she used her own blood to activate the space ring again, a memory about her grandfather appeared in her mind.

She was only four years old at that time. Before her grandfather died, he hung a ring strung with a red rope around her neck, then took her little hand and spoke to her with a kind face.

"Cheng'er, Nuo is very important to you. He is your lifelong guardian. You must cherish him and don't miss him."

"You don't need to hesitate, you don't need to search specifically. When you meet him, you will naturally have the answer in your heart. Remember, follow your heart, and hold on to him tightly when you meet him. Only he is your true love, and only he can bring you happiness."

Tang Nuo, are you the person that my grandfather told me to cherish before he passed away?

"Ah!" Tang Nuo let out a scream of pain, this one louder and more painful than any before.

This sound made Mu Cheng forget all her hesitation. She flashed into the space and stood in front of Xiao Jiu again. "I want to learn the "Heart Knot" from you."

No matter what happens in the future, the most important thing now is to save him.

"Do you see the two lotus flowers in the hot spring pool? Pick the pink one and eat it yourself, and pick the crimson one and feed it to the master. These lotus flowers can cleanse your bones and marrow, and successfully help you draw Qi into your body."

Mu Cheng understood the general meaning of cleansing the tendons and removing the marrow.

But Mu Cheng didn't understand what it meant to draw Qi into the body, but she was too lazy to ask more. The most important thing at the moment was to save Tang Nuo, and she could ask about other people's matters later.

So, Mu Cheng followed his instructions and entered the hot spring pool. Then, she picked a pink lotus flower and took a bite of the petals. She thought it would be hard to swallow, but the petals didn't have any strange taste. They melted in her mouth, and after swallowing, a fragrance remained between her teeth.

After Mu Cheng swallowed the entire lotus flower, she plucked the remaining crimson lotus flower and fed it to Tang Nuo. Tang Nuo was still in pain, but he still swallowed the lotus flower she fed him.

"Now I'll start guiding the Qi into your bodies. First, sit cross-legged facing each other, hands clasped together..."
