Chapter 333 Regret
"I thought I would have money after coming to the secret realm this time, and I would be able to live a good life when I return. I didn't expect it to be just an illusion. God is so unfair to me!"
Zhu Gengtian felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and he actually started to cry.
While crying, his subordinates did not forget to work and arranged the pile of crystals beautifully.
"Gengtian, it's okay. You're better off. At least you have a woman who shares the same feelings with you. Unlike me, I'm still alone today. I regret it when I think about it." Chen Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"…Yes, there was, but Yi Niang eventually abandoned me and left for someone else. Brother Xiu, are you serious?" Zhu Gengtian slowly raised his head.
"You at least had it, didn't you? What about me?" Chen Xiu was lost in thought when he said this, "I don't know if Xiaoxiao will be sad for me after I die."
Zhu Gengtian suddenly couldn't cry anymore.
It’s not that I’m not sad, on the contrary, I’m even sadder.
At the end of my life, I suddenly think back and realize that I have really missed a lot in this life.
There is no business that has been resolved, no one to say goodbye to.
All regrets.
If I had known that I would die so young, I would have been braver before, even if I had been a reckless man, perhaps many things would have been different.
Mo Jiuwei supported her chin and looked at the two of them with interest.
"If you can get out alive, what is the one thing you most want to do?"
The two thought about it and answered:
"I want to express my love to Xiaoxiao and tell her how I feel. I am not afraid even if she rejects me!"
"I want to open a shop, make money, and lead a better life with my sister."
After listening to this, Mo Jiuwei nodded and said, "Okay, continue working. I'll take a nap."
As she was speaking, she couldn't help yawning again and was almost in tears.
So the two of them watched Mo Jiuwei curled up into a ball and fell asleep. Under her was the thick, white, furry cushion that she had taken out.
When she lay on it, the white fur made her little face look even cuter, and her sleeping face was even more beautiful.
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
How weak are these two people? Is this little girl really willing to fall asleep in front of them without worrying that they might have any bad intentions?
When the two looked at each other, there was no murderous intent in their eyes, only helplessness.
They no longer spoke, but worked silently, bending over and sorting the rubble on the ground.
They had never seen so many crystals in their lives, especially some of the top quality ones. These sparkling treasures were placed in front of them, and their total value far exceeded what they had gained from their hard work in the secret realm for so many days.
Of course they were excited when they first saw them, but after looking at them for a long time, they felt a little dizzy. They needed to raise their heads and relax from time to time, otherwise their eyes would be tired.
Well, let's just use this last moment to get back and see all the crystals I'm missing in this life.
Mo Jiuwei took a nap, and when she woke up, she saw the two men still working hard.
There were simply too many crystal stones in this cave. After Mo Jiuwei's explosion, countless of them were scattered on the ground. Not to mention two people, even ten or twenty people would have to work hard for a long time to finish.
So even though they sorted out several piles, there were still quite a few left.
"Erase your divine consciousness from your Qiankun bags and bring them here."
Mo Jiuwei rubbed her eyes and said suddenly.
The two of them were working so hard that they were afraid that Mo Jiuwei would wake up and get angry with them if she was unhappy, so if she hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have realized she was awake.
"...You took it so early." Zhu Gengtian covered his Qiankun bag and said with great heartache, "It would be better to take it after we die. I can wear it for a while longer..."
He said so, but he still did it in the end.
Chen Xiu did the same. He almost kissed the Qiankun bag while holding it. He touched it several times before he was willing to erase his spiritual consciousness.
After doing all this, the two of them stepped forward to hand over the Qiankun bag, but when they just reached Mo Jiuwei, before they even touched her clothes, let alone her figure, they heard a bang!
There was a flame rising from the ground beside her, a huge ball of fire that almost covered the two people's heads!
Their faces turned pale with fear, and they couldn't even scream. They just stared at the scene with wide eyes, and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Oh, I forgot I set a trap."
Mo Jiuwei smiled with a curved lip, looking innocent and harmless, "If you had planned to do something bad while I was asleep, this would be what would have happened to you."
The two of them broke out in cold sweats!
When did she set the trap? She was right in front of them, so no matter what she did, it should have been under their noses, but why didn't they see anything?
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu looked at each other and both shuddered.
"No, we don't dare. We absolutely don't dare!"
"We don't have such an idea. Really, we can't do anything to you!"
They said with sad faces.
"Can't do it?" Mo Jiuwei raised an eyebrow. "If I'm not mistaken, you already had the intention to kill me when you first entered the cave and saw me."
"That was true at that time...but I thought it was a thought and I did it." Zhu Gengtian smiled awkwardly and explained, "Although we are not gentlemen, we are not villains either. Stealing treasures and killing people are normal things in the world of immortal cultivation. Everyone has done it more or less, but I have never killed a child as young as you."
"Yes, we really can't do it. Besides... you belong to a sect. If we really want to kill you, we are no match for the Xianlai Sect."
It is already difficult for a casual cultivator to practice, and as long as there is a chance to do things like killing people and stealing treasures, no one would be willing to be the good guy.
When they first saw Mo Jiuwei, they also wanted to kill her, but they clearly had the opportunity and the person was right in front of them, but they couldn't do it at all.
Killing a person and killing a child are two different things.
Besides, if Mo Jiuwei dared to come here alone, how could her sect, her relatives and elders not care? Even if they really took action, the ending might not escape death.
After seeing all this clearly, they lost all means of resistance and just wanted to behave themselves, hoping to save their lives.
"He can be ruthless, but he also knows what's happening, and he has a bottom line."
Mo Jiuwei looked at the two of them with an unclear expression, and finally made this judgment.
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu didn't understand what she meant. Seeing that she didn't say anything else, they didn't dare to ask and could only continue doing their work.
Mo Jiuwei took their Qiankun bags and looked them over.
The things inside were indeed pitifully few. The two of them together could not even collect ten pills, and the total number of crystals was less than a thousand.
