Chapter 35: Seeking Death If you hate me, then try to become stronger...

Early the next morning after waking up, Mu Xingchen went to the place where Mu Qing was buried.

This was the first time the Seven Star Tower was located in this world. Unlike the other two times, the place where Mu Qing knocked on the Seven Star Tower was a place with beautiful flowers everywhere.

It was summer, and the cliffs were covered in a profusion of colorful wildflowers, gently swaying in the morning breeze. A truly beautiful sight. Near the cliff's edge, a towering tree grew. As the first rays of sunrise reached it, a golden glow shone from its branches.

At first glance, the blue sky and white clouds are very close, like a place otherworldly.

"What is the name of this cliff?" Mu Xingchen asked.

Xiao Qi searched Mu Qing's memory and replied, "Xiu Qing Cliff. It's very close to Sanjian Cliff, so few people come here on weekdays."

No wonder almost no one sets foot here.

Mu Xingchen glanced at the bottom of the cliff indifferently. The only way to reach the bottom of the cliff was to jump off the cliff.

So the killers had deliberately driven Mu Qing here. Because of her special status, they didn't dare to attack her openly, so they could only force her off the cliff. Death from falling off the cliff was considered an accident, and no one could be held accountable.

It's a good place to bury corpses and kill people. The flowers blooming at the bottom of the cliff might also be made of human bones.

Mu Xingchen sighed silently. Don't worry, I will avenge you.

She walked towards the edge of the cliff, and just when she wanted Xiao Qi to release the Gu spirit from its restraint, she suddenly stopped.

Mu Xingchen lowered his eyes and smiled, saying with an ambiguous tone, "Xiao Qi, there's no need to recover your spiritual power."

The next second after she finished speaking, she jumped towards the cliff.

Xiao Qi was frightened half to death. She said anxiously: "What do you mean! Mu..."

Before she could finish, a black figure eagerly followed her and jumped to the bottom of the cliff.

Mu Xingchen spread her hands out and closed her eyes as she fell. She didn't struggle at all and just let herself fall.

Li Jing watched this scene, anger burning in his heart. His purple pupils gradually darkened, even slightly erected. The rage that filled the air swept across the cliff, bringing with it a strong sense of evil. The surrounding birds flew away in alarm, fleeing in all directions. At this moment, there was only a deep terror around.

Mu Xingchen was immersed in the fear of weightlessness. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for her death.

Li Jing flew in front of her, his white hair blown by the wind, until the end of the hair brushed against Mu Xingchen's face, and then Mu Xingchen opened her eyes.

The moment she saw Li Jing so close, she said in disbelief: "Jing... Master?"

The moment Mu Xingchen opened her eyes, Li Jing's pupils returned to normal. He restrained his anger, put his arm around her waist without saying a word, and then led her to the cliff.

When they reached the cliff, Li Jing let her go without mercy.

Mu Xingchen staggered a few steps unsteadily.

He didn't support her, but instead suppressed his anger and asked: "You want to die!"

Mu Xingchen looked at him absentmindedly and did not answer his question.

Li Jing became even more angry when she saw this. How could she still watch him lose his mind at this time?

Little did he know that at this moment Mu Xingchen was just immersed in the pair of purple pupils he had just seen.

"So beautiful," she sighed inwardly. Her angry pupils looked even darker purple, like a purple gem with a black hole, extremely tempting.

I really want to dig it out.

"Why are you seeking death?" Li Jing's mood had dropped to an extremely low point. Despite this, he still remembered to control the evil spirits around him and not let them hurt her.

But when he saw her looking at him so foolishly, he became even more annoyed.

Li Jing's breathing began to become difficult, his chest heaving, and the veins on his wrists bulging. If it were anyone else, they would have been killed, but he didn't know what to do with her.

Mu Xingchen came back to her senses at this time. She took two steps back, her face obviously turning pale, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth. She said in a nonchalant tone: "Master Jing wants to kill me anyway, so my death is exactly what you want."

"You!" Looking at her pair of gray and lost eyes, Li Jing felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Did he commit suicide just because he missed her?

What she meant was that even if he wanted her life, she would give it to him. Did she like him that much?

Li Jing's heart skipped a beat unconsciously, but at the same time, he became even more annoyed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you take your life seriously?"

Mu Xingchen raised her head, suppressed her tears, and said word by word: "Anyway, no one in this world cares about me, and the people I care about just wish I were dead."

She was telling the truth, it was indeed true. But if she died, everyone would have to be buried with her.

When Li Jing heard her words, his heart beat violently twice, and then he felt as if his breathing was held back.

She was talking about him, she was accusing him! She said he was someone she cared about, and since he wanted her dead, there was no point in her living.

Li Jing's anger subsided involuntarily, but what followed was a sense of helplessness.

Faced with such accusations, such paleness, and Mu Xingchen who was so devoted to him, he actually wanted to run away.

Li Jing frowned, his throat rolling a little, the mask on his face concealing his nervousness, he lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Mu Xingchen looked up at him in surprise, "Master Jing..." She smiled and pursed her lips, then could no longer hold back a tear, "Master Jing, there's no need to apologize. I know I've been a burden since I was a child. No one likes me, no one cares about me. So it doesn't matter, I'm used to it." She looked at him with a smile, pretending to be strong.

Li Jing's heart ached uncontrollably, a feeling even worse than nearly shattering his demon core. He began to regret forcing her to say such things. What on earth had he done? She liked him, and he wanted to kill her. No wonder she was so hopeless.

He still remembered the first time he saw her, it was on this cliff, he was at the bottom of the cliff, she was on the top. At that time, she was still smiling happily, but now she just wanted to bury herself here.

Li Jing's long eyelashes trembled slightly. He wanted to explain, but his mind controlled him. He could only endure the pain in his heart and said in a gentle tone, "I know your feelings, but I can't accept you."

Mu Xingchen lowered her head with a smile, and she murmured, "I know, I'm just too bad."

Li Jing was almost forced to step forward by her words. He wanted to tell her his identity and why he did this, but he couldn't.

"Mu Qing." He suddenly said seriously.

Mu Xingchen looked up in surprise. Li Jing had regained his composure at this moment, and his expression became extremely serious.

"Listen carefully. I'm not killing you. I'm just giving you a chance to live. Your family doesn't have to love you, and the people you love don't have to love you, but you must love yourself. To you, no one in this world is more important than you, including me. So don't do this for me. Do you understand?"

His expression was extremely serious, and he stared into her eyes motionlessly, trying to observe the changes in her emotions.

Mu Xingchen's pupils widened and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

"If you hate me, then you should try to become stronger and kill me instead of committing suicide. Do you understand? If you just like me, it's not worth doing such a thing, because love can change. It's the most unworthy emotion of human beings. So don't be moved by my unintentional kindness. Maybe I'm just pitying you."

His pupils, which had been slightly cracked, turned cold again: "So, do you understand?"

Mu Xingchen lowered his head and did not answer him.

Li Jing stopped talking and said in a complicated tone, "You, take care of yourself."

After a gust of wind blew past, Li Jing's figure disappeared from sight.

Mu Xingchen turned her head and looked towards the bottom of the cliff. A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Do you understand? Oh, more than understand, you understand it beyond words.

In this world, the only person she loves most is herself, and besides that, there's Xiao Qi.

As for liking something, it's like a gust of wind, gone in an instant.

Xiao Qi sighed, "These words sound so righteous, and so inconsistent with his evil aura. He's really trying so hard to persuade you."

Mu Xingchen's lips curled up slightly, and she glanced behind her.

"Not yet."

There is a big tree behind her.

Xiao Qi sighed, "Tsk, even though you know you shouldn't, you still fall into it. Calling others stupid makes you become a fool yourself."

Mu Xingchen felt the naked gaze behind him. He knew that she had no spiritual power and couldn't even hide her breath.

Of course, he didn't need to hide, after all, there were very few people with higher spiritual power than him.

"It's a pity that I can't get the jade pendant back today." Mu Xingchen was a little conflicted. She was afraid that someone would be watching her every day after today. How would she get Mu Qing's jade pendant back?

Xiao Qi sighed: "Let's find another opportunity."

Mu Xingchen stared at the bottom of the cliff motionlessly, and came out every time to obstruct her mission.

Oh, he still rejected her today, she wanted to see how long he could hold on.

She said that she was a person with a strong desire for revenge, and since he dared to kill her and threaten her, she would definitely kill him.

However, he was more vulnerable than she had imagined.

Love is a magical thing. It is clearly not worth mentioning, but it always makes smart people stupid.

Don’t you understand it yourself?
