Chapter 169 [Alien] Remembering the First Time We Met
Within the barrier——
"We meet again after a long separation, but Master only cares about Ye Musi. Where does this want to put this disciple?" Hua Jin stepped forward to grab him, but his hand passed over Mu Chi's wrist.
Only then did his eyes become misty.
The harsh words stopped at his lips.
"Do you know how I've been through these years?" His voice was choked with sobs. "I don't believe Master is wrong. I waited every day for you to come to me and tell me that you were forced and that you didn't want to seal me, but..."
"Twenty years have passed, Ye Musi has come, why haven't you come?"
Hua Jin placed his finger on Mu Chi's lips and told him about the grievances he had suffered over the years.
"I don't want to hear your explanation! You've always lied to me. I'm the one you discarded after weighing the pros and cons. I'm an alien, and you wouldn't choose me over anyone else! If that's the case, why did you give me a chance in the first place? Why didn't you just kill me?"
"I'm sorry, Xiaojin," Mu Chi lowered his eyes, "It's useless for me to explain now. If hating the master can make you feel better, then hate him."
"It's like this again. You're always like this, acting so righteous and awe-inspiring that you can abandon anything. You've locked me up for twenty years, and I should hate you! I should hate my identity! If I weren't the alien master, would you have survived?"
Mu Chi shook his head.
"This identity has only brought me trouble! Yinyou Valley wanted me dead, the Three Realms wanted me dead, but I failed to die and instead let you die! So let those people be buried with you! No, use their lives to sacrifice to the heavens and resurrect you!" After saying this, Hua Jin's body was filled with demonic aura.
"No!" Mu Chi raised two fingers, and a faint spiritual power came out of his hand, flowing towards Hua Jin's eyebrows. Then his whole body, starting from his feet, floated outwards, turned into fine dust, and merged into the air.
“What are you doing!”
"Stop killing. I owe you, and I'll pay you back."
Hua Jin gritted his teeth. At this moment, the demonic energy around him was suppressed and his body could not move.
"You never know what I want!! I don't want you to pay me back! I want you to live!"
Hua Jin's eyes instantly turned red. He struggled, but was unable to break free from Mu Chi's restraints. Spiritual energy surged into his body like a tide, trying to suppress the demonic energy surging within him, but Hua Jin's anger was like a burning flame that could not be easily extinguished.
"I just want everything to be the same as before. I want to go back to Yandu!" Hua Jin's voice was filled with tears, and tears finally burst out, sliding down her cheeks and dripping on the back of Mu Chi's hand.
Mu Chi trembled slightly, but still did not stop what he was doing.
"Master will do one last thing for you. From now on, you will have to walk your own path."
"I don't want it. I won't live alone even if you die. What's the point of you doing this?"
"I hope the world will be peaceful," Mu Chi said with some difficulty. "I know it's difficult for you to guard the world, but, Xiao Jin, you are the spiritual pearl. If Ah Si loses control again in the future, please help him."
Just now, Mu Chi temporarily suppressed the demonic aura around Ye Musi, but this is not a long-term solution. The only reliable way is to restore the spirit pearl.
"If I want to kill him..." After a brief thought, he said, "Forget it, you decide..."
"What decision? You are still partial at this time!" Hua Jin was finally able to move. He broke free and forcibly gathered Mu Chi's soul back.
"No favoritism."
"Don't talk! I'll help you gather your soul." He carefully gathered Mu Chi's soul again, his movements filled with an almost paranoid gentleness, as if if he was not careful, Mu Chi would completely disappear from his world.
"You can't die," Hua Jin whispered softly, his voice trembling, "I won't let you die."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was bounced away by an invisible force. He fell to his knees on the ground and went forward to grab Mu Chi, but caught nothing.
"Ah! Master—!" He wailed to the sky, his voice reaching the sky and breaking through the barrier he had set up. "Master! You are biased! You betrayed me for the sake of the world!"
He gritted his teeth and wanted to call Mu Chi a hypocrite, but he couldn't say it. Suddenly, he started laughing wildly and fell to the ground. His crazy appearance was heartbreaking.
"Why do they..." Hua Jin slowly stood up and twisted his neck, looking at where everyone was. He instantly teleported in front of them, waved his hand and knocked all those people to the ground, causing them to spit out blood.
"A Li!" Ye Musi got up and saw Lu Lishen lying unconscious on the ground. He quickly picked him up and held him in his arms.
"It's you," Hua Jin pointed his index finger at Ye Musi, and then at the man who had fallen to the ground and was trying to get up, "You forced him to death!"
"Without you, he wouldn't have died!"
The goddess supported herself with one hand and covered her chest with the other. She looked at the golden rune between Hua Jin's eyebrows in astonishment, and then slowly uttered two words: "Spirit Pearl..."
Hua Jin raised his hand again, and just as he was about to swing it down, perhaps because of Mu Chi's magic, he suddenly remembered what Mu Chi said before he died: "Stop killing." He then put down his trembling hand.
"If you want to revive him, then go back to Hidden Valley and look for Tiandao. The old valley master is from the Three Realms, but you are not. There is no hope of resurrecting the old valley master." Lan Feiyue had the power of hope to protect her body, and the previous attack did not hurt her at all. "The Three Realms were created by Tiandao. It is better to seek Tiandao for a glimmer of hope."
Hua Jin disappeared without a second thought.
He first came to Xishan. It had changed a lot and was very different from what he remembered, but he could still see some shadows of the past.
He walked to a place and stopped, closed his eyes, searching for the breath of hope.
"I'm already here, why don't you show up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wang appeared in front of him, with a mortal behind him, hiding behind him in fear.
"Ye Musi didn't come."
"Do I have to wait for him to do something for you?" Hua Jin sneered and took the first step.
Ji Wang pushed Dongfang Qiao out and drew a circle in the air to protect him.
"You should have a proper attitude when asking for help." He took Hua Jin's palm and frowned.
"I'm just testing your qualifications. After all, no matter what form you take, you're still a child." Hua Jin softened his attitude, sensing that the other party was holding back and that saving Mu Chi was more than enough. "What are your conditions? Just state them."
"I'll tell you the conditions after I rescue him," Ji Wang's lips curled up slightly, his eyes showing a deep meaning. "There's a price to pay for Mu Chi's return. Besides, he's been dead for so many years, his body is destroyed, and his spirit is gone. The price is huge."
"I can accept any price!"
"I need all your cultivation and Lingzhu destiny." After he finished speaking, Ji Wang absorbed Hua Jin's cultivation through the air, and a golden sphere formed between them.
The feeling of having your strength drained away is really uncomfortable, but the slight pain is bearable.
But my mind seemed to explode, and many memories of the past flashed through my mind.
"The spirit pearl destiny reshapes the body, and the cultivation gathers the spirit."
Hua Jin gradually closed his eyes and could no longer hear what Mu Chi said. He only felt his limbs numb and his body growing colder, as if he had returned to the ice cave at the foot of Shenghe Mountain.
He is so cold.
It was pitch black and empty all around. He sat on the ground, hugging his legs, his heart pounding.
The familiar feeling of loneliness and fear came over him like a tide, nearly suffocating him. He tried hard to recall Mu Chi's face, but his memory became blurred in the darkness.
"Mu Chi..." He called softly, his voice echoing in the empty space, but no one responded. He stood up, trying to find a glimmer of light in the darkness, but every step felt like stepping on empty space, with no foothold. His body grew colder and colder, his consciousness began to blur, as if he would fall into an endless sleep at any moment.
"Stop killing. I owe you money and I'll pay it back." Mu Chi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, like a warm light that penetrated the darkness.
"Master..." Hua Jin's tears flowed uncontrollably. He stretched out his hand, trying to catch the voice, but he only caught nothing.
"Master will do one last thing for you. From now on, you have to walk your own path." Mu Chi's voice became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
Hua Jin fell to his knees, tears blurring his vision. He supported himself on the ground with his hands, almost half-kneeling and half-crouching, in a kowtow position.
"Disciple will let you come back..." The tears on his face dripped onto the ground because they could not withstand the wash of the tears that followed.
At this moment, a faint light lit up before his eyes. Gradually, the light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the darkness around him. He raised his head and saw a vague figure walking towards him.
"Master?" He couldn't believe his eyes. He stood up trembling and walked towards the figure.
He followed the figure, stumbling and walking into a bright place where he didn't know where it was.
The light was getting brighter and brighter, so he tried to block it with his hand, but when he raised it again, his hand had become much smaller.
He was lying on the ground with his hands bleeding, but he didn't cry. He patted his clothes and got up again.
"Xiao Jin, come in quickly!" A female voice called him, and he walked forward as if possessed by some unknown force, throwing himself into the woman's arms. "Mom, I fell."
The woman used some kind of magic to heal his wound and stop the bleeding. Before Hua Jin could even rejoice, the woman he called "A Niang" said to him seriously, "Xiao Jin, A Niang is going on a long journey. I have found you the most gentle master in the world. From now on, you will follow your master to learn the immortal arts."
Then, without waiting for Hua Jin's answer, he pushed him to the man in green clothes beside him.
"This is Master."
Hua Jin raised his eyes to look at his master, who was so much taller than him. He looked up and couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
His heart moved, and he subconsciously grabbed the woman's sleeve, his voice trembling: "Mother, I don't want Master, I only want you..."
"Xiao Jin is in your hands," the woman picked up Hua Jin and handed him to the man in green. She then patted Hua Jin's little head and said, "Be good, Xiao Jin."
Hua Jin wanted to make a fuss, but when she suddenly saw her master's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment and forgot to cry.
"When will the goddess come back?"
Master’s voice is also very pleasant and gentle.
"Let's find a way to awaken the spirit pearl. Just waiting here is not a solution. Only by making full preparations can we survive." Yan Ru sighed slightly and nuzzled Hua Jin's nose affectionately. "Xiao Jin, you must listen to Master."
"Well," Hua Jin didn't want to be separated from A Niang, "I'll be obedient, and A Niang will come back soon?"
"Ah, mother, let me find my little brother to play with you, okay?"
"Okay," Hua Jin, for some unknown reason, turned around and hugged his master's neck, "Mother, please go and come back quickly."
