Chapter 132 I almost thought you were dead
A thin layer of sweat beaded on Ye Xuanzhi's high, straight nose. He closed his eyes with a devout expression, and a black and white palm-sized talisman array surrounded him. Finally, a talisman with no visible thickness stopped in front of him and he tore it off.
Looking at the talisman that symbolized "great fortune," Ye Xuanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that Jianjian is alright.
He got up and looked around the mess in the dark room, where he saw the man whose head had already been separated from his body.
In fact, Ye Xuanzhi had a general idea of who was behind the scenes when he saw Cai Hua's abdominal injury, and now he finally confirmed it.
That was a unique secret technique of the Feng family, one of the four great families of the Upper Realm.
His face was cold and indifferent.
It seems we'll have to call in people from the other side to handle this.
——
Mu Jianjian felt as if she were immersed in the fleeting memories of others.
Cold, colorless, and odorless were her initial impressions of Cai Hua's spirit, but she never imagined that this was the reason why the brother and sister embarked on their tragedy.
Just like when she entered the spirit realm before, the two were a very kind brother and sister. Even though they were raised by their mother alone, they were of good character, until the younger sister discovered her "defect"—
Complete color blindness plus inability to smell.
The inconveniences caused by these two points gradually became apparent in their lives, and they were bullied and ridiculed by the children in the same village.
The older brother always protects his younger sister, but there are always times when he's not around.
When he returned from chopping wood one day, he saw his beautiful younger sister being bullied by a man. He finally couldn't hold back and raised his wood-chopping knife, his hands stained with blood.
He tried his best to comfort his injured sister, just then news came from the village that their father had returned—
It is said that their father entered the cultivation world and became a cultivator of Jingxu Garden, but unexpectedly he was just a piece of trash who wanted to give his two children to the then garden master to make Gu in exchange for status.
Mu Jianjian was lost in her memories, watching her brother believe the man's lies, thinking that refining Gu could cure his sister's illness and protect her. She never imagined that after his soul was shattered, he would be chosen by the Garden Master and groomed to be her next self, step by step becoming—
Cai Chu.
As Cai Hua watched Cai Chu begin to indiscriminately kill innocent people and torture them for his own amusement because of her condition, she tried her best to heal him, but he even wanted to use her as a raw material to refine Gu poison. Finally, she realized that her brother would never come back. After being rescued by Feng Laiyun, she returned to the village, only to find that her mother had already passed away.
She finally returned to Jingxu Garden and began to learn how to use poison and create exotic fragrances by any means necessary, plotting how to kill Cai Chu and become the master of the garden, until he abandoned his cultivation and went to the Xuantian Secret Realm.
Mu Jianjian recalled Cai Hua in her early twenties, that radiant and sunny girl, and understood the meaning behind the nostalgic gaze she had always held towards her—
This is solely to mourn my own death.
No wonder she felt that only she herself was sweet in her soul.
As Mu Jianjian gazed at the completely black world that appeared after the spirit flickered, she thought of the words she had read when she stayed up all night to read this novel, and the throbbing pain in her heart had never been so intense.
No one knows Cai Chu's past. Before his soul was shattered, he was a kind and upright older brother who protected his younger sister. But on the pages of the book, he is just a thoroughly evil scumbag demon who deserves to be scorned.
He spends all his time thinking about cultivating the humanoid Gu, but he has even forgotten why he set out in the first place.
After losing everything, Cai Hua indulged herself in the murky world of Jingxu Garden. After dealing with the man from the upper realm, she lost the will to live and peacefully passed away.
They are no longer cold words on the pages of a book, but living, breathing people with their own pasts and stories.
And what about her admiration for Jianjian?
What is the story behind it, and why did it begin?
"Click—"
The bottleneck in her cultivation, which she had reached after fighting Feng Laiyun, was broken, and countless streams of true energy surged into the girl's body, allowing her to break through to the next level once again.
Ye Xuanzhi, who had been watching over Mu Jianjian's bedside, saw the movement on the other person and couldn't help but curse him as a pervert.
When was the last time she broke through?
It wasn't long ago that he achieved enlightenment and broke through while facing the sea monster on the ship, so why is he about to break through again now?
Many people spend most of their lives trying to advance to the next level after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, but this person seems to have no barriers, overcoming dangers and breaking through desperate situations to advance to the next level every time.
As Mu Jianjian watched her soul gradually shatter, the last trace of divine consciousness Cai Huami left on her dissipated. She smiled and welcomed the dawn breaking through the darkness.
"I set off for them, and also for myself."
Rather than "saving" them, she wants to be a "participant" and grow together with them.
The moment she thought this to herself, the aura of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment finally settled.
Mu Jianjian opened her eyes and saw Ye Xuanzhi's large face.
"Jianjian is finally awake! You scared me to death, I almost thought you were dead!"
Mu Jianjian: ...
