Chapter 21 Mission Completed. No one who has ever come here to make a wish has ever...
Seven Star Tower.
Tu Shanzi was currently sitting cross-legged, healing her wounds silently.
"The person has been brought back." Mu Xingchen directly threw Tushan Xu in front of Tushan Zi.
Tushan Zi opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Tushan Xu, her pupils trembled violently. She said in disbelief, "Dad?"
Tushan Xu turned around and looked at his daughter in disbelief. He asked uncertainly, "Zi'er? You, you're not dead?"
After reacting, Tushan Zi immediately stood up and hugged Tushan Xu, then cried bitterly: "Dad, Dad, are you okay? Dad, you are back, wuwuwuwu..."
Tushan Xu was crying and saying, "Daughter, daughter!!! That's great, that's great, that's great..." He said "that's great" three times in a row.
After a while, he calmed down a little and looked back at Mu Xingchen. He held Tu Shanzi's shoulders and asked, "Zi'er, what on earth is going on?"
Tushan Xu held back his tears and sobbed, "This is a long story. I asked the Pagoda Master to save you."
"Tower Master?" Tushan Xu asked in a daze.
Mu Xingchen interrupted them and said coldly: "There is no time. You only have half an incense stick of time. Say what you want to say quickly. After you finish speaking, I will take your lust spirit." After saying that, she glanced at Tu Shanzi.
Tu Shan Zi's tears immediately flowed down her face, and she told Tu Shan Xu the whole story.
Tushan Xu's eyes welled up with tears after hearing this. He sobbed uncontrollably, "My daughter, how could this happen? How could this happen?" He knelt down and begged Mu Xingchen, "Tower Master, you saved me. If you want to take something, take my lust spirit, not my daughter's. I beg you."
Mu Xingchen frowned and said coldly, "Business is business, there is no way to change it."
Tushan Zi supported Tushan Xu, who was limp on the ground, and said, "Dad, I have no regrets in rescuing you. Please come back to Tushan with me. Let's go back and live in seclusion together, and never enter the world again."
"What about Xiaoyue?" Tushan Xu asked, "She is your daughter."
Tu Shanzi's smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and the tears she had been holding back fell again.
"That man is her father after all, he shouldn't hurt her." She was afraid and worried, but things had come to this point, and they had already tried their best.
"No, absolutely not." Tu Shanxu stood up and said hurriedly: "I want to rescue Xiaoyue and take her with me."
"No, no!" Tu Shanzi stopped him. "Dad, you're in this condition now. If you go out, you'll die. If you die, all our efforts will be wasted!" she said hoarsely.
"Listen to me, Dad. If, if I still remember Xiaoyue after my lustful spirit is taken away, I will definitely go to save her. But before that, you must leave first. Please! You must stay alive, okay? Promise me, promise me." Tu Shanzi pleaded.
At this time, Mu Xingchen's cold voice sounded again: "Are you done?"
Tushan Zi stood up tremblingly. She looked at Tushan Xu with hope for the last time, then slowly closed her eyes.
Tushan Xu stumbled to his feet and tried to stop Tushan Xu, but was blocked outside by a wall of air. No matter how he screamed, no one could hear a word from inside.
Mu Xingchen raised his hand slightly, and starting from Tu Shanzi's eyebrows, strands of lust spirits were drawn out one by one. Not long after, these lust spirits gathered together and slowly formed a mist cloud above her head. Mu Xingchen gently tapped the mist with his fingertips in the air, and it instantly lit up, emitting golden light.
"Go." After saying that, the cloud slowly rose to the top of the tower, forming a bright cloud lamp.
Xiao Qi reminded in the bracelet: "This mission is completed."
Mu Xingchen looked down at the red line on his right hand. It had subtly faded and was almost invisible.
She sighed and thought, never mind, it’s better to have something than nothing.
Tu Shanzi slowly opened her eyes. Compared to before, there was no emotion in her eyes, they were empty and without desire.
Looking at Tushan Xu kneeling on the ground, she looked indifferent and said calmly, "Let's go, Dad."
Tushan Xu was lying on the ground crying inconsolably. He raised his head and held back the tears in his eyes. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and stood up tremblingly. Then he walked to Tushan Zi very slowly and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"You go back first, child." He couldn't help but choked up and said, "Do you remember the route Dad told you? If you don't remember, Dad will draw you a map. You go first, and when Dad finds Xiaoyue, I will bring her back to see you."
Tu Shanzi lowered her head and thought for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
Tushan Xu nodded and gently touched Tushan Zi's hair: "Dad promises you that he will bring Xiaoyue back."
Mu Xingchen calculated the time and said, "Let's go, you can leave now."
Tushan Xu finally looked up at Tushan Zi's Desire Spirit, then asked Mu Xingchen hopefully, "Is there any other way to bring it back?"
Mu Xingchen shook his head.
Tushan Xu's back hunched, and he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He no longer looked back, nor did he ask what the consequences would be for people who lost their desire spirit. Tushan Zi's reaction had already told him.
Those who practice spiritual cultivation know that desire is the raw material for the burning soul. Without the soul of desire, one cannot feel emotions. Even if one is alive, he is just a walking corpse. Those who come to make a wish will not even have the chance to regret it in the end.
No one who has ever come here to make a wish has ever left with a smile.
But those who can reach the Seven Star Tower will not regret their choice even if given another chance.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Mu Xingchen sighed, there is gain and loss.
Xiao Qi jokingly said, "If I had known this would happen, shouldn't I have accepted his husband's order? Let him lose his lustful spirit. Wouldn't that make it even more clear that evildoers will be punished?"
Mu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Don't forget that man's wish was for his wife and father-in-law to die. If I had accepted that man's wish, I wouldn't have met Tu Shanzi today."
Xiao Qi: "That's true. Okay, let's go. We should go back."
Mu Xingchen sneered: "Do you think I'm standing here because I don't want to leave? Xiaoqi, I just completed my mission and you took back my spiritual power. How do you want me to leave???"
Xiao Qi said guiltily, "This skill can only be triggered when the mission is completed. Now that you have completed this mission, the conditions for triggering the spiritual power are gone. Why haven't you returned yet?"
Mu Xingchen took a deep breath. She had just been wondering whether the Seven Star Tower would cause such a disaster, so she was worried that it would be easy to get out but difficult to go back.
Xiao Qi coughed lightly and said, "It's not my fault. It's the conditions that triggered the Seven Star Tower. I can't do anything about it."
The author has something to say:

I failed the interview and cried a lot today. I felt like a failure and that I had accomplished nothing. I was really terrible.
