Mo Qing's smile froze on his face. Seeing that she had already opened the wooden box, he grabbed her wrist. "Feng Guang... are you really sure about this?"
"No matter what, I will save him." Feng Guang brushed his hand away and took out the resurrection grass, which was as red as fire.
Mo Qing had fallen into a coma; he had lost too much blood, yet he was still murmuring, "Fengguang...live on..."
Feng Guang suddenly choked up. She wiped the tears from her eyes hard, and the fairy herb turned into specks of light that flew into Mo Qing's body. However, she waited for a long time, but Mo Qing did not wake up.
She looked at Mo Qing, "Why is this herb useless? You said it could save him!"
Mo Qing smiled and said, "Besides the Rejuvenation Grass, it also requires a person's cultivation of more than a hundred years to bring someone back to life."
Feng Guang was stunned, "A hundred years of cultivation..."
Where can she find a century's worth of cultivation?
Holding Mo Qing tightly, she suddenly sobbed, because she felt despair. She knew how lonely and isolated it was to be a ghost. She didn't want Mo Qing to become like her. Mo Qing had already sacrificed enough for her. He should live on.
"Why are you crying?" When she was off guard, Mo Qing could touch her cheek. He chuckled softly, "Isn't there me here? I have a hundred years of cultivation, don't I?"
The view froze. She looked up at him in disbelief, forgetting to even flinch at the hand he had placed on her face.
His eyes seemed to gleam, captivating all who beheld them. "I had originally thought that once I had a new body, I could use the Rejuvenation Grass to exchange my entire life's cultivation for a glorious resurrection. But now, it seems I have no choice but to make another one."
"Why...why are you helping Mo Qing?"
“It’s not to help him, it’s for you.” He looked at her face with an almost greedy gaze, never wanting to miss a single expression on her face. “From the moment you chose him, I lost my reason for existing.”
“No…” Feng Guang looked at him seriously, “You are not living in this world for me, Mo Qing, this is your own life.”
"I've only lived to this day for the sake of glory. My lifespan should have ended fifty years ago, but I've been using forbidden techniques to prolong my life. You can't imagine how... unrecognizable my body has become."
Feng Guang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
He smiled and pointed to another room. "Guess what's in that room?"
"I have no idea……"
“Your body is inside.” A handsome smile played on his lips. “I have preserved Fengguang’s body well. As long as Fengguang’s body is here, you will not be able to reincarnate.”
Feng Guang was taken aback. "What did you say?"
"There's no other way. I'm terrified that once Fengguang forgets me and stops harboring resentment, you'll reincarnate. That's the only way I can keep you here." Holding onto someone's body and forcing them to wander the world as a ghost is a way that harms one's karma, but he had no other choice. This was the only way he could keep her.
Mo Qing slowly said, "Zhiwei once advised me to let you go, but I couldn't do it. I've already given up on you once, and I won't give up on you a second time. But I forgot to think about something more important. What should I do if Fengguang gives up on me?"
"Mo Qing..."
He laughed, "It's autumn again now."
He looked out the window and saw a withered leaf fall, just like him, having lost all his vitality.
They met in autumn, so he told her his name was Qiu Shi. Now, it's another bleak early autumn, and he can only be Mo Qing again, the Mo Qing who once gave up the woman he loved most, but is now given up by her.
