Chapter 98
Mo Xiaoxin and Leng Huai returned to the Demon Realm.
Now there is one last step: negotiating with the Xuan Snake to get back Leng Huai's soul and spirit.
Mo Xiaoxin felt a faint pain between her brows. Although the black snake was her mother's friend, it had a bad temper and was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Sure enough, Xuan She's face immediately fell after hearing Mo Xiaoxin's request.
The black serpent's golden eyes looked as if they wanted to stab someone: "I used my scales to create your body. You don't want the body anymore, and you want your payment back? What kind of nonsense is this?"
The black serpent was extremely dissatisfied, and the black pool beneath it was making a booming sound, as if it would engulf them in the next second.
Xuan She was absolutely right; Mo Xiaoxin even wanted to give it a big thumbs up. It has to be said, Leng Huai was really being dramatic. If Leng Huai weren't the person she loved, she would definitely have let him curse her to death like those keyboard warriors online.
But why did Leng Huai stand so aggrievedly behind her, staring at her silently like a little puppy?
She sighed; it was still up to her to step in.
She grinned and said to the black snake, "To be honest, my snake scales have the effect of enhancing spiritual power. If you don't mind, Uncle Black Snake, I can give you a few."
This wasn't just Mo Xiaoxin bragging; it was something her mother, Yue, told her.
Her snake scales are priceless treasures, practically a walking cultivation artifact.
Xuan She was skeptical; he had never heard of Mo Xiaoxin's scales having such a use. Besides, they were both snakes, so how could she be superior to him?
Seeing Xuan She's suspicion, Mo Xiaoxin explained, "Although we are both snakes, my mother is a white snake, a race that went extinct hundreds of thousands of years ago."
"The White Serpent Clan?" Xuan Serpent had heard of them.
Xuan She looked Mo Xiaoxin up and down: "The White Snake Clan is known as the Holy Spirit of the Snake Clan, not something a little kid like you can impersonate."
Legend has it that the White Snake Clan members possess extremely high spiritual power and kind hearts. Even when other snake clans are fighting each other to the death, they are willing to share the White Snake Clan's only healing medicine with the other snake clans.
Those snakes who were injured in battle applied the White Snake Clan's medicine and discovered that it not only healed their wounds but also enhanced their spiritual power. Everyone was curious and asked the White Snake Clan chief, but the chief refused to answer.
There were always envious snake clan members who couldn't stand the White Snake Clan chief, so they secretly killed him and looted all of the White Snake Clan's sacred medicine.
They then discovered that the sacred medicine was made from the scales of the White Serpent Clan.
All the snake clans began a frenzied hunt for the white snake clan.
The White Snake Clan was almost completely wiped out, with some dying and others fleeing.
Little Yue, on the other hand, was extremely clever. She infiltrated one of the snake clans and, in order to save her life, had no choice but to swallow her pride and live under the roof of her enemy's house.
Yue worked hard to cultivate and became a demon god, but her identity has never been revealed.
Only when you become strong can you avoid being bullied by others.
This is what Yue told her.
Perhaps after finally becoming a demon god, Yue lost the will to live, having seen through the illusions of the mortal world.
"hateful!"
The black snake's angry curses pulled Mo Xiaoxin back to her senses.
The Black Serpent actually harbored deep resentment towards its ancestors for their cruel exploitation of the White Serpent Clan.
Therefore, he also disliked the snake clan's exploitation of Yue.
The black snake murmured, "I didn't believe her when she said the demon god was actually saving her, but now I finally understand."
The black snake sighed, glancing at Mo Xiaoxin's delicate face with reluctance and guilt in its eyes: "I will never see my friend again. Oh well, consider this my blessing as your uncle to the two of you."
After saying that, two round orbs of light appeared out of thin air in Xuan She's hands.
Mo Xiaoxin was overjoyed: "Is this Leng Huai's soul and spirit?"
Xuan She handed the two orbs of light to Mo Xiaoxin: "Only your mother knows the method to return the seven souls and six spirits to their rightful place. Alright, you can go now, I need to rest."
The black serpent seemed to be still immersed in its past memories, and returned to the black water pool with a somewhat lonely expression.
Mo Xiaoxin then took Leng Huai to find Yue without stopping.
When Yue and Leng Huai faced each other, Mo Xiaoxin felt the nervousness of a mother-in-law meeting her son-in-law.
She stole a glance at Leng Huai, only to find that the latter didn't seem nervous at all, but rather quite composed.
"Greetings, Demon Goddess." Leng Huai rarely showed such reverence.
Look at Leng Huai, he's quick-witted and always knows how to sweet-talk his mother-in-law.
Yue looked at Leng Huai with affection: "I entrust my good daughter to you from now on."
Mo Xiaoxin opened her eyes wide, feeling a little embarrassed.
Looking at Leng Huai's face, Yue couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic: "Actually, your mother wasn't a bad person. She was just too lonely and isolated... I know she didn't give you much love, so it's understandable that you hate her. I just hope you can live a happier life and not live a life of melancholy like I did."
Leng Huai held Mo Xiaoxin's hand, his eyes resolute: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, she is the medicine that keeps me alive. I will take good care of her and will never give up on myself like before."
Yue nodded, and then used magic to merge her soul and spirit with Leng Huai's.
Mo Xiaoxin held Leng Huai's hand and could clearly feel that Leng Huai's body had become warmer.
"Great! It's finally back in place!" Mo Xiaoxin was overjoyed.
Yue's spirit body flickered between light and darkness, gradually becoming transparent.
Mo Xiaoxin's face darkened, sensing something in her heart. She stepped forward to touch Yue's face, but her hand passed right through Yue's body.
She was so reluctant to leave, so very reluctant.
Yue: "Child, I know you're very reluctant to leave me, but you'll have to walk your own path from now on."
Mo Xiaoxin's eyes were a little moist. Despite her reluctance, she knew in her heart how much Yue had paved the way for her and how much effort she had put in. She never asked for anything in return, nor did she ever complain about her own suffering; she simply protected her silently.
Mo Xiaoxin nodded vigorously, watching Yue's figure gradually disappear, feeling an emptiness in her heart.
Her hand was grasped by a large hand, and Leng Huai's gentle voice came from beside her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'll be with you from now on."
Everything calmed down, and Mo Xiaoxin and Leng Huai returned to the Demon Palace.
The Demon Realm has become much more harmonious without Ye Deqing causing trouble.
Many of the people I met along the way have found a good home.
Xian Fei and Yue Si got married, making the Xian and Yue families even closer.
Yue Ke also became the leader of the Yue family, and all the Yue family members were completely convinced of her abilities.
Li Zhao and Liu Qing manage the soldiers of the Demon Realm.
The Fatian Mountain Sect sent them to the border of the Demon Realm to guard it.
Yan Dun and Heng Xiaotao accompanied Mo Xiaoxin as her maternal family members in the Demon Palace.
"You see, not everyone will betray you, right?" Mo Xiaoxin looked at the prosperous world of the demon realm and then looked up at Leng Huai.
Leng Huai stared intently at her: "Even if everyone else betrays me, it doesn't matter, as long as you're by my side."
After saying that, Leng Huai snuggled into Mo Xiaoxin's arms like a puppy, begging for a hug.
Mo Xiaoxin chuckled to herself. Ever since Leng Huai came back, he seemed like a completely different person, becoming very clingy to her.
"Hey, have you guys forgotten about us?"
Xi Nanxing and Zhu Jin stood outside the main hall, watching the two lovebirds.
Mo Xiaoxin was somewhat stunned.
The soldier beside him panicked: "I'm sorry, Demon Lord and Demon Queen, these two people insist that they are your friends and have trespassed into the Demon Palace. I will throw them out immediately!"
Mo Xiaoxin waved her hand: "They are indeed my friends."
Mo Xiaoxin stroked her chin: "I haven't forgotten, but the job assignments are already finalized, and I don't know what to do with the two of you."
Xi Nanxing: "Aren't there no left and right protectors yet?"
Leng Huai glanced at Xi Nanxing indifferently: "I don't need it. As for my wife, I will naturally protect her."
Leng Huai retorted to Xi Nanxing with a single sentence, and held Mo Xiaoxin's hand even tighter.
Mo Xiaoxin chuckled. This guy must still be holding a grudge against Xi Nanxing for saying he liked her.
Xi Nanxing looked somewhat aggrieved: "No matter what, I helped you when you were in the most critical moment, how come you don't remember that at all now?"
Zhu Jin chimed in, "We're sworn sisters, don't forget me."
Mo Xiaoxin laughed and said, "Alright, alright, Leng Huai was just teasing you guys."
She thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there is a middle ground between the demon realm and the monster realm that is currently ungoverned. Why don't you go there?"
Since they were both from the demon realm, it would be convenient for them to return.
Zhu Jin nodded, touched: "See? My good sister won't forget me."
She would occasionally return to the Southern Demon Realm.
The Southern Demon Realm is being rebuilt gradually. Her parents left her so much money that she has to use it in a meaningful way.
This is the land they have worked so hard to build, and as long as she is here, she will fight to protect it.
After arranging everything, Mo Xiaoxin arrived at Huanlingyuan and poured a cup of wine in front of a very new tombstone.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm doing very well."
Her beautiful mother will surely be very happy in her next life.
In the evening, Mo Xiaoxin and Leng Huai watched the sunset together at Huanling Abyss. It was the closest place to the sky, and they could clearly see the colors of the sun slowly disappearing from the sky.
Good times always pass too quickly, just like the sun that is right in front of you, but suddenly disappears the next moment.
System notification: [You only have three days left before your last chance to be killed. Please hurry.]
A mechanical voice suddenly rang in Mo Xiaoxin's mind.
Her body jolted suddenly.
Leng Huai keenly sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
Mo Xiaoxin's expression was somewhat subtle. She shook her head, forcibly suppressing her irritation: "No, it's nothing. I'm probably just a little tired."
After a moment, Mo Xiaoxin looked up and stared into Leng Huai's eyes, asking, "If I die one day, what will you do?"
Leng Huai remained domineering and unwavering: "Then I will intercept your soul in the underworld and tie it to my side for all eternity!"
Mo Xiaoxin had already made up her mind; she wouldn't go back. She would stay by Leng Huai's side. She knew Leng Huai needed her and was about to say something when she felt a chill on her neck and then lost consciousness.
[System notification: Mission complete. You will be teleported back to the real world shortly.]
Mo Xiaoxin angrily questioned the system: "System? What's going on?"
I didn't do anything, so why did it say the task was completed?
The system silently showed Mo Xiaoxin the final scene.
The large screen showed Mo Xiaoxin leaning on Leng Huai's shoulder, the whole scene was warm and full of love.
The instant Leng Huai finished speaking, he seemed to make a painful decision, and reached out his left hand to chop at Mo Xiaoxin's neck.
Mo Xiaoxin heard Leng Huai's inner thoughts: "I can't be so selfish, she doesn't belong to this world."
She cried, "But I want to stay! What can I do?"
Mo Xiaoxin cried her heart out.
She achieved great success here, possessing both martial arts skills and love.
Why return it?
The system couldn't bear Mo Xiaoxin's tears. It was so anxious that it paced around in circles. Suddenly, it remembered something and said to Mo Xiaoxin, "Do you remember the fragment you obtained? There is an item in the shop that can reverse time, but it requires this fragment to exchange for."
Mo Xiaoxin bought the props without hesitation.
After a dizzying spin.
Time returned to the beautiful time when the two watched the sunset together.
She suddenly woke up with a start.
She was leaning on Leng Huai's shoulder.
Leng Huai's hand was gently around her, and her unique, fresh scent wafted from him.
Mo Xiaoxin grabbed the man's hand and threw Leng Huai over her shoulder, pinning her to the ground.
Leng Huai looked completely bewildered: "Mo Xiao... Qiu Xin, what are you doing?"
Mo Xiaoxin asked fiercely, "You already have the memories, don't you?"
Leng Huai did not speak or resist when he heard her question.
It turned out that Leng Huai had already noticed something was wrong with Mo Xiaoxin.
At some point, her repeated deaths gave Leng Huai his memories.
He vaguely sensed the secret about Mo Xiaoxin, and he kept remembering what Mo Xiaoxin looked like in another world.
He knew she didn't belong here, and he couldn't be so selfish as to force her to stay with him.
“Even if you have memories, know that I’m on a mission, and know that I don’t belong here, you can’t make the decision for me and send me back!” Mo Xiaoxin argued vehemently, listing Leng Huai’s mistakes one by one.
Leng Huai was stunned: "I...I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be willing to stay for me."
Mo Xiaoxin rolled her eyes: "I'm here for the money. My inheritance is worth tens of billions of taels of silver. When I go back, it will only be a little over a billion."
Leng Huai: "..."
Mo Xiaoxin's face flushed slightly, and she coughed twice: "Of course, you're also within my consideration."
Mo Xiaoxin forcefully pulled Leng Huai back into the house: "This is the money I'm returning to you. True husband and wife keep clear accounts."
Leng Huai looked at the hundred taels of silver on the table and couldn't help but chuckle.
Mo Xiaoxin pouted: "My ten chests of dowry..."
Leng Huai chuckled. This little money-grubber.
"It's been kept in the warehouse for you."
"That's good."
Mo Xiaoxin successfully returned to Leng Huai's side as she wished, but there was still one thing that was unclear.
The entrance to the system was not closed. Mo Xiaoxin entered the space and found the main system's room based on her memory.
The door to the room was not closed. She pushed it open and entered. The room was quiet, with only the tall chair in the entire room.
She couldn't see from behind whether anyone was sitting in the seat, but she knew the main system was there.
"You've finally arrived." The voice came from behind the seat. The person seemed unsurprised by Mo Xiaoxin's arrival, as if they had expected it.
"Main system, you are the one who drove this whole thing, right?" Mo Xiaoxin asked directly, voicing her doubts.
The main system didn't shy away, chuckling twice: "With your intelligence, you should have guessed who I am long ago, right?"
"Mo Qiuxin, it's you, isn't it?" Mo Xiaoxin's question wasn't a question, but a statement of affirmation.
The seat slowly turned around, revealing the mysterious appearance of the main system.
It was Mo Qiuxin, who appeared and disappeared at different times.
"As expected of someone I value, she's got a sharp mind." Mo Qiuxin said with a look of satisfaction.
"Then guess what my purpose is in doing all this?" Mo Qiuxin looked at Mo Xiaoxin with some anticipation.
Mo Xiaoxin shook her head; this was something she couldn't understand at all.
Mo Qiuxin was somewhat disappointed, but this was within her expectations: "Actually, you are not the first test subject, but my soul."
Mo Xiaoxin frowned, incredulous: "What did you say?"
“I once told you that I am dead, but the person I love is still in the world and I cannot be with him. But what makes me different from others is that I have 999 souls scattered in other places, so I devised a way to summon my souls back to help me.”
"But I've died 999 times, so why can I come back to life?" Mo Xiaoxin asked.
Mo Qiuxin blinked: "It's a secret. Anyway, I'm relieved to have you by his side."
Mo Xiaoxin suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Then why did you ask me to kill Leng Huai before?"
Mo Qiuxin smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I have a dual personality. One side wants to save Leng Huai, and the other side wants to kill him. Your ice magic is controlled by the second personality, so it appears sometimes and disappears sometimes. She initially agreed to let me bring you to this world to participate in the mission because I gave her a bounty of 10 billion. But she also had other intentions and wanted Leng Huai dead. Fortunately, you didn't agree to her at the time, otherwise everything would have been irreversible."
Mo Xiaoxin was startled. So that's how it is. I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
The room began to shake violently, and Mo Xiaoxin was unsteady on her feet.
Mo Qiuxin glanced around with some reluctance, her voice filled with both melancholy and relief: "This place was created by me, and now that it's over, it will cease to exist."
Mo Qiuxin looked at Mo Xiaoxin, who was standing there in a daze, and smiled.
Xiaoxin.
As dawn breaks, everything is renewed.
With a wave of her hand, Mo Qiuxin forced Mo Xiaoxin to leave the space.
Mo Xiaoxin opened her eyes in bed and was still in a daze for a long time.
I never expected that she was actually Mo Qiuxin.
A familiar voice came from beside me.
[Congratulations, host, on choosing to remain in this world. Your 1.5 billion assets have been converted into 150 billion taels.]
Mo Xiaoxin turned her head and saw a round, fleshy ball smiling at her.
The system raised its soft little face and said seriously, "Thank you for completing the mission. My mission is also complete. The main system is actually kind-hearted. I was created by her. After the matter was over, she did not destroy me, but let me come here to accompany you."
Mo Xiaoxin patted the system's round head; she knew that the system had long since developed its own thoughts.
When Leng Huai returned from outside, he noticed something extra in the room and immediately became alert.
Seeing that Leng Huai was about to attack the system, Mo Xiaoxin quickly stopped him, saying, "Ahem, this is the system."
Mo Xiaoxin had already told him about the existence of the system and tasks.
Leng Huai carefully examined the little thing, and said with a sour face, "This is the thing that always gives you trouble, right?"
The system, hands on hips, huffed and puffed, "I'm not called a thing, I have a name, I'm called Maruko!"
This is the name the system just gave itself.
Leng Huai gave a mocking smile: "Meatball? It is indeed quite round."
Inside the room, a person and a system were arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, and their mutual dislike was quite amusing. Mo Xiaoxin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In the stillness of the night, Mo Xiaoxin lay in bed, hugging Leng Huai's soft yet strong arm, which gave her a sense of security like a pillow.
“There’s a question I’ve never been able to figure out,” Mo Xiaoxin said.
"What?"
Why did you marry me in the first place?
Leng Huai closed his eyes to rest, but remained expressionless when he heard the question.
Mo Xiaoxin waited for his answer.
"Because you're so stupid."
"What did you say??!!!" Mo Xiaoxin was incredulous. She jumped up from the bed and looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed and looking completely indifferent.
She punched his handsome face in frustration.
"Someone is trying to murder her husband..."
Then another round of noisy laughter and chatter came from inside the house.
