world.
Bustling and noisy, a chaotic scene.
Mo Wen's arrival went completely unnoticed.
He somewhat awkwardly ordered a coffee and sat quietly in the cafe, looking across at the other side.
A couple became lovers there.
The man was handsome and very considerate.
The woman was beautiful, with a touch of heroism, and had a face that was hard to forget.
Mo Wen paused for a moment, indeed she was unforgettable, at least he remembered her for more than a thousand years.
The two chatted and laughed, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Mo Wen lowered his head to look at the steam rising from the coffee, but his ears perked up as he listened to the conversation across from him.
"I...we're about to meet each other's parents?"
"What? You don't want to?"
Xia Mu hurriedly waved her hand, her cheeks puffed out, looking rather cute. "No, no, I'm just worried about what will happen if your parents don't like me?"
Mo Wen was somewhat dazed. He had been with Xia Mu for so long, and he had never seen her with such an expression on her face.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as I like it, that's fine. My parents are very open-minded. Besides, don't girls like to meet the parents? If you don't meet the parents, how can you show that the relationship is serious?"
Xia Mu turned her head away cutely. "What if? What if your parents don't like me?"
“Then let’s elope.” The man said without hesitation.
Xia Mu wanted to laugh, but she felt more joy and pride. She looked at the man seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will work hard to make your parents like me."
The man's eyes were full of love. He leaned over and quickly kissed Xia Mu's forehead, whispering, "Don't worry, I'll always be on your side. Don't put so much pressure on yourself."
The two whispered a few more words, and occasionally, the sweet, affectionate smiles of lovers could be heard.
Mo Wen could no longer hear him; he had instantly returned to the past.
Go back to the past when I was in love with Xia Mu.
They don't seem to be that honest with each other.
He did not take Xia Mu to meet his father.
He had never met Xia Mu's parents.
However, occasionally, when emotions run high, the two of them look at wedding dresses and rings in stores and feel a longing for marriage.
I finally mustered up the courage to meet my parents, get engaged, and get married.
Then, that incident happened.
The changes in nature are so unpredictable.
Before Mo Wen could finish speaking, Xia Mu and her boyfriend had already walked outside hand in hand.
The two men glanced at Mo Wen through the glass window. The man was very unhappy that Mo Wen kept staring at Xia Mu and wanted to teach Mo Wen a lesson.
Xia Mu pulled his hand and said, "Let's go! There was another girl staring at you the other day, but I wasn't jealous."
The man was speechless. "When? I had no idea!"
"Heh, if you found out, I'd tell you, and you'd be finished."
"...Mumu, would you girls like a man like that?"
Xia Mu glanced at Mo Wen, who looked up at her intently. Xia Mu felt a sting, and said with a mix of pride and assertiveness, "Maybe some people like it, but I don't."
"Why?"
The two walked away hand in hand.
Xia Mu felt the burn lessen and continued, "There are many good-looking people in the world, and I can't possibly like everyone. That man looks like someone you don't want to mess with, acting like he's some kind of domineering CEO. Haha, that's the kind of person I dislike the most!"
"So what type do you like?"
"You! As long as it's you, any type is fine."
"Pop!" The man was overjoyed.
The two walked further and further away, arm in arm.
After walking quite a distance, while waiting at a traffic light, Xia Mu stopped, clutching her chest with some unease, and looked back in the direction she had come from. There, she could almost see a man standing at the entrance.
She couldn't explain why, but the moment she saw Mo Wen, she felt like saying something harsh. Now, thinking about it, she felt a little annoyed; that man wasn't so bad after all.
It's incredibly rude of them to just stare at her.
Besides that, there doesn't seem to be anything else.
However, I couldn't help but want to make a few sarcastic remarks.
The green light is on.
The man held Mo Wen's hand tightly and led her across the traffic light.
The man's expression was focused as he protected her, as if she were a precious treasure.
Xia Mu smiled, banishing those mixed thoughts from her mind. What happened to that man was none of her business.
There are so many beautiful flowers in the world, but she can't pick them all. She can only pick the one she likes. Now that she has picked one, she will treat it with all her heart.
She thought about it for a moment, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart. Looking at the man's profile, she found him more and more adorable, and couldn't help but lean forward and bite his ear.
The man bent down and cried out "Ya ya ya!" from the inside, his heart filled with an overwhelming sweetness.
Mo Wen watched the two of them bickering and joking from behind.
I didn't follow them, leaving myself on the other side of the road.
I watched them until they disappeared from sight.
After that, he remained in the human world.
Watching Xia Mu get married, don her wedding dress, and place her hand in her husband's.
The man was so excited he was dizzy, and his wedding speech was a complete mess. "Mom, thank you for marrying me... No, wife, thank you for marrying my mom. No... wife, thank you for marrying me! tt"
The audience burst into laughter.
Xia Mu laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up.
Mo Wen stood at the very back, and even the last bit of heartache was taken away.
During the meal, Xia Mu changed his clothes briefly and then fell asleep.
In her dream, she saw a blurry-faced man coming towards her from behind the light and asking, "Are you happy? If you're not happy, I'll take you away."
The man's sincerity left her speechless, unable to even muster a temper. "I've never been so happy. I don't know you, and I can't let you go."
"What if I could make you live forever, immortal? Would you come with me?"
"And him? Can he live forever and never die?"
"cannot!"
"Oh! Then I won't leave."
The man's gaze dimmed, and Xia Mu could sense something called sadness in the atmosphere around them.
She panicked a little. "Don't cry, don't cry, I really don't know you, please don't bother me!"
The man's breath caught in his throat, and he whispered, "I wish you happiness!" My girl!
The man disappeared.
The dream dissipated.
Xia Mu woke up with a start, patting her chest in alarm.
How scary! I must have been watching too many romance dramas lately. I've been possessed by the heroines in those dramas. I need to reduce my drama watching and focus on learning foreign languages instead.
The wedding continued.
Mo Wen left.
He wandered through the world, continuing to observe Xia Mu's life.
Watching her give birth and raise children, and how she would argue with her husband, she always ended up being coaxed back by him.
Sometimes, even men would get so angry at Xia Mu that they felt like they were about to have a heart attack, but in the end, they would still lower their heads and coax Xia Mu, saying that they were wrong.
Both sets of elderly people are very kind. Even if they accidentally say something wrong, they will quickly send something over to mend their relationship.
Xia Mu's career went smoothly, with occasional setbacks, but she always managed to turn danger into safety, as if a pair of magical hands were clearing away all obstacles on her path in life. Even men said that she must be a child kissed by the gods.
This good fortune also extended to their children.
When Xia Mu was in his thirties, a distant relative living abroad suddenly announced that Xia Mu's child would be his heir, and they suddenly received a large inheritance, making them the richest people in the country, and their later years were even more smooth sailing.
Until Xia Mu passed away, her life was smooth sailing beyond imagination.
At the time of death.
Xia Mu fell into another dream.
In her dream, a man came towards her with his back to the light. Her blurry eyes finally made out his face, which was quite handsome, like a domineering CEO on TV.
She vaguely recognized the face somewhere, but ultimately couldn't place it.
The man said, "You're going to die soon."
"Yes!" I'm about to die.
Do you want to achieve immortality?
Xia Mu didn't answer, but instead asked her, "Where do we go after we die? Is there an underworld? Is there reincarnation?"
The man fell silent, seemingly unsure how to answer, but finally said, "Yes!"
"Then I'm relieved." Xia Mu sighed, her gaze passing over Mo Wen and landing on the man who was weeping at her bedside. "Thank you for worrying you for so long."
It's unclear whether these words were spoken to Mo Wen or to the man at the bedside.
Xia Mu closed his eyes.
The soul flew away.
They passed through Mo Wen.
It has entered its own cycle of reincarnation.
Mo Wen felt as if a gust of wind had swept through his body, taking away the first half of his life.
The man's cries were loud.
Mo Wen walked out in a daze and looked up at the sky.
He should go home.
He had always thought that the human world was home, but unknowingly he discovered that home had long since changed, turning into that desolate tomb.
...
Do not ask about returning.
It didn't wake a single animal, but it did wake Fan Su.
As soon as there was any movement, she silently transformed into a giant hammer, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the person who suddenly entered.
As a result, it stopped just as it was about to fall.
oh!
Don't ask!
Mo Wen stared at the dark, heavy hammer for a moment, then carefully moved aside.
Fan Su felt a little regretful; she should have smashed it.
"I'm back!" Mo Wen said.
Fan Su hummed in agreement and returned to the heavens, transforming into a flower with its stem facing outwards, just as Mo Wen had done on the day he left.
Mo Wen was also somewhat dazed.
The joys and sorrows of a human life are but a fleeting moment in the world of cultivation.
Mo Wen did not return to his palace, but instead walked towards the jade coffin among the love flowers.
He stood silently before the jade coffin for a long time. Whether it was obsession or affection, it was all over.
He never considered himself a god who could control the life and death of others or disregard human relationships.
For a thousand years, he still had the mind of a mortal, believing that gods and mortals were no different.
Xia Mu has already entered the cycle of reincarnation. The time she spent with Xia Mu was only a small part of her life. In this life, the person she is infatuated with is not him.
He actually had no reason to be so attached to it.
He suddenly discovered the downsides of cultivating immortality, and the pain lingered longer because he couldn't forget them.
It's all over.
He looked at the clouds floating in the sky and felt that he should choose an auspicious day to burn the summer wood.
It is absolutely forbidden to bury him. Xia Mu's body has been nourished for nearly a thousand years and has become an immortal body. It would be bad if it were used by someone with ulterior motives.
He thought for a moment, then turned to rest. Life in the human world was exhausting!
Fan Su looked at him from the sky and fell into deep thought.
For many years, her life was very boring, and her only pleasure was watching Mo Wen's tragic fate.
She saw everything Mo Wen did in the mortal world.
Unconsciously, something was growing in her heart, and Fan Su felt that she had changed.
She read so much, good and bad, right and wrong, and she remembered it all. Over time, this accumulation will inevitably lead to some changes.
The change was that she felt more and more like a person, a person with feelings and desires, and with secret longings.
Night falls.
She came to Xia Mu's jade coffin, quietly looking at him. She bent down, pressed her soft face against the jade coffin, and murmured to herself.
"Tell me, what exactly is love?"
"I really don't understand human emotions. They clearly like someone, but they suppress it. They clearly have such short lifespans, but they can love someone forever."
Are the emotions depicted in the book truly more important than life itself?
Fan Su grumbled on and on, but finally said, "I really want to be a human being. What would it feel like to be a human being?"
She was lost in thought.
His gaze fell on Xia Mu's jade coffin and he couldn't look away.
Xia Mu is a physical body, while she is a soul.
Her fingers involuntarily opened the jade coffin. Fan Su gazed at the physical body for a long time, then sighed silently. "So be it!"
She gently lay down, merging seamlessly into Xia Mu's body. Opening her eyes, she felt a different sensation—bound, supported, and surrounded.
It is no longer as unpredictable as before.
It seemed like they were being restrained.
"This is what it feels like to be human!"
All of this happened in silence, witnessed only by the countless love flowers around. In the wind, it seemed as if the love flowers were chuckling softly, eager to see what incredible things would happen to this generation's tomb keeper.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Fan Su turned all the love flowers into dust, waiting for the following spring to sprout again from the soil, covered in dust.
Over the years, she has far surpassed everyone else in her mastery of cultivation techniques.
She summoned a Radiant Mirror and looked at her reflection. Her face showed Xia Mu's heroic spirit, but even more so, Fan Su's innocence.
She gently took off Natsume's police uniform, letting her hair grow a little longer.
With a wave of her hand, a set of flowing fairy robes appeared in her hand. Wearing the clothes and with her long hair flowing freely, the traces of Xia Mu seemed to have faded a lot.
She walked toward Mo Wen's palace and silently pushed open the door.
Mo Wen suddenly woke up with a start, but Xia Mu made a hand seal and Mo Wen fell into a deep sleep again.
Xia Mu walked to his bedside and looked at Mo Wen up close for the first time.
Memories kept replaying in my mind.
She was a wisp of soul born from the resentment of 100,000 living beings, born without feelings or desires, and unaware of worldly love.
But if resentment can give birth to a soul, who can guarantee that the original intention will remain unchanged? Who can guarantee that the vengeful spirit will not develop feelings of love?
Fan Su lowered her head and gently covered Mo Wen's lips with her red lips.
Soft, fragrant, and captivating.
She smiled.
So this is what a kiss feels like.
She seemed to have discovered something new, exploring and savoring it little by little, until she and Mo Wen were completely naked and facing each other.
She leaned in and pressed down on him, Mo Wen's brows furrowed tightly, as if he were trapped in a strange dream.
In a dream.
He married Xia Mu, had children, and lived a fulfilling life.
The dream felt so real that he remembered the scent of the love flower on Xia Mu's body, yet it was also so unreal that he knew everything in the dream was fake.
Mo Wen let out a suppressed sigh of pleasure, and Fan Su's eyes turned strange as she greedily kissed her chin.
Sunlight streamed in.
it's all over.
Fan Su left Mo Wen's body.
It also left Xia Mu's body.
With a casual squeeze, Xia Mu and the jade coffin containing her body turned into dust and flew away in the wind.
It was an impossible mistake, a person who shouldn't have appeared. In fact, it should have ended long ago.
Thank you, Natsuki!
It turns out that being human is such a wonderful experience.
Fan Su left the Tomb of the Gods.
Over the years, she had long known that she should go out and explore, but she also had a deep-seated desire: she wanted to become someone, or more precisely, she wanted to become Mo Wen's person.
Now, this obsession has been fulfilled.
She should go out and explore the world. She has a hundred thousand faces, and she can always find the one that suits her best. She has already cultivated her soul, so she should calm down and cultivate a body that belongs to her.
The world is so big, let's go and see!
Mo Wen woke up many days later.
The dream was so vivid that he could feel the heat of Xia Mu's body and the coldness of Fan Su's tears.
He flew out of the palace, looked up at the sky, and saw nothing there.
The love flower has vanished, along with Xia Mu's jade coffin.
He was bewildered for a moment, then remembered something.
He hurriedly took out his Book of Fate from a small box in a room, and after reading it, he seemed to have lost his soul.
The Book of Fate clearly states: "A fleeting dream with Fan Su (Xia Mu)."
A fleeting dream.
In the end, nothing was gained.
He seemed to understand why Fan Su left, and also why Xia Mu disappeared.
Mo Wen remained silent for a while, then put the Book of Fate back in the box, and never looked at it again.
However, he would occasionally look at the clouds in the sky, or at the newly grown love flowers, his mind unsettled, lost in thought.
Everything remained as quiet as ever, yet everything had changed.
Hundreds of years have passed in a flash. Mo Wen once again put himself into cultivation. Cultivation is the best way to forget time. He secluded himself to cultivate, regardless of how the world changes.
Until one day...
There was a commotion outside the tomb; someone had opened a hidden door.
Mo Wen opened his eyes and instantly transformed into a hammer, guarding the doorway.
A woman, both alluring and innocent, appeared. She had an unfamiliar face, yet Mo Wen smelled a familiar scent.
Fan Su!
She's back!
Fan Su was stunned when she saw a huge, black hammer, then she smiled like a crescent moon.
"I'm back!"
Mo Wen's eyes stung a little. "Mmm!"
The reason he dared not look at the Book of Fate was because he feared that one day a line would appear on it: "I will spend the rest of my life longing for a vengeful spirit named Fan Su."
...
The rest of our lives are long, let's cultivate immortality together! — Mo Wen
