Mo Qing paused for a moment, then stepped forward and hugged her. Because Zhiwei was there, Feng Guang's face turned red. He said softly, "I won't keep you waiting too long. I'll be back soon."
"Mmm..." She nodded, her face burning.
Unable to linger for long, Mo Qing followed Zhiwei away. Feng Guang stood under the plum tree, watching the direction they left in, remaining motionless for a long time, until a flirtatious voice rang in her ears, "Little Feng Guang, have you missed me all day?"
Almost instinctively, Feng Guang slapped him, but the man reacted quickly. He took her hand and chuckled softly, "So enthusiastic as soon as we meet. It seems you really missed me."
"I wish you would just die!" Feng Guang kicked him again, but he dodged it. At least she managed to pull her hand back.
Qiu Shi laughed and said, "No need to worry about the scenery, I am indeed about to die."
She paused, "What did you say?"
“I’ve always only been able to appear at night, but now I’ve come during the day to see the sights. I’m afraid I won’t live much longer.” He spoke lightly, without a trace of the sorrow of his impending death.
She snorted, "You're lying to me, I don't believe you!"
"I did indeed deceive Fengguang."
Feng Guang was about to say that he knew Feng Guang wasn't telling the truth, but unexpectedly, Feng Guang added, "I was already nearing the end of my life before Feng Guang even met me."
This time, though there was a smile in his eyes, there was also a sense of desolation, which made people feel the seriousness with which he spoke those words.
Feng Guang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why won't you live much longer?"
"All things have a natural order of life and death. Those who are single-minded can wholeheartedly pursue the Dao and attain immortality. Those who have attachments in their hearts will not have the Dao heart and will ultimately not escape death."
"But didn't you say you were a fairy?"
“Even demons have an end to their lives.” Qiu Shi walked to her side, looked at another mountain peak, and asked her, “Do you know what place that is?”
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
He smiled and said, "That is without end. The path of cultivation is so long. If too much time passes, even a Taoist who is pure of heart and desires will not be able to resist the greed, anger and ignorance of the secular world."
"so what?"
"Therefore, disciples with unstable Dao hearts will enter the Wudu Cliff and stay there for a few months to eliminate distracting thoughts. Just as the Linglong Pool gathers spiritual energy, over time, the Wudu Cliff will also gather the demonic obstacles of disciples from all generations of the immortal sect. Those with unstable minds can easily lose themselves there."
Looking at the mountain peaks hidden in the clouds, Feng Guang asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because I want Feng Guang to know that the Mo Qing in your heart was born on Wudu Cliff."
She was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"
Qiu Shi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My meaning is very simple. Mo Qing is not a human, but a product of the demonic forces gathered in Wudu Cliff. When the founder of the Immortal Sect discovered that there was an extra baby in Wudu Cliff, he was quite surprised."
"So what?"
"Doesn't Feng Guang feel awkward being with a man who isn't even human?"
She laughed, "Mo Qing is Mo Qing, it has nothing to do with whether he is human or not."
"He is the demon that has haunted the disciples of the Immortal Sect for generations. Who knows, one day he might go mad and do many terrible things."
“It’s alright.” Feng Guang shrugged. “If he wanted to kill someone, then I’ll take care of burying him.”
She froze after saying that. She seemed to have said that to someone else as well.
