Chapter 226: At the moment of farewell, Xu Hui felt a sharp pain...
Instantly, Xu Hui felt intense pain, and her whole body and soul trembled in agony. This extreme and heart-wrenching pain was something she could never get used to no matter how many times she experienced it.
But this time, she had a blank expression on her face, trying her best to control her body from shaking or making any expression of pain.
When she had complete control, she tried her best and threw herself into Wei Mubai's arms regardless of everything.
Wei Mubai caught her firmly, holding her tightly in his arms, with his cheek against hers, comforting her gently over and over again.
Unfortunately, despite the intense pain, she could not feel such gentle comfort too deeply. She could only vaguely feel that he was holding her with restrained strength, and the temperature on his cheek was icy, as if... he was crying.
He was crying, Xu Hui knew it.
But she didn't want to know. She just felt heartbroken, but she could do nothing about it.
Wei Mubai, he was so handsome and clear-minded. He knew that they would never see each other again after she turned into a Qilin, but he still insisted that she choose her future.
But this future doesn’t have him!
Xu Hui was very sad and opened her mouth to ask: "Can't you be a little more selfish? Speak up! Speak up and let me stay! Do it! Peel off the soul orb!"
Who wants to become a god? I only want you!
But her vision was too good to choose such an open-minded gentleman.
Even if he has a little selfish motive, it's fine. Why should he completely destroy the future of both of them just to fulfill her wish?
But she couldn't say all of this. It hurt, it hurt so much. Not only did her body and soul hurt beyond measure, but her heart hurt even more!
Perhaps after becoming a Qilin, she will lose her emotions and think that it is nothing to give up a relationship in order to become a god. After all, the purpose of cultivating immortals is to become immortals and gods, and she has achieved it in one step, what a great thing!
But now, she was in so much pain! It was heart-wrenching and excruciating!
To the point that she even felt a hint of resentment: You are aloof, you are great, and you only know the so-called fulfillment. Why don’t you think about my wishes? I don’t want to become a god, and I don’t want to be separated from you!
But at this moment, she really couldn't say it.
She was afraid of disappointing him, and she couldn't bear to stab him in the heart again.
She had accepted Wei Mubai's kindness, so how could she bear to criticize him? How could she bear to make him sad?
He closed his eyes, and when the words came out of his mouth, he said, "Mu Bai, it hurts so much!"
She weakly acted like a spoiled child, rubbing her head gently in his arms, searching for that tiny bit of comfort.
Wei Mubai paused, tears flowing more fiercely, but he didn't want Xu Hui to see it, so he could only hug her tightly and stroke her soft hair over and over again. His hoarse voice was filled with unspeakable despair and heartache.
"Don't be afraid, it will be fine soon, Ah Hui... hang in there!"
God knows how painful it was for him when he said this!
Xu Hui's persistence every minute and every second drew a long gap in their relationship.
He could even feel that the marriage contract bestowed upon them by heaven was crumbling bit by bit.
When Wei Mubai thought that he and she would have no contact from now on, he felt so painful that he couldn't breathe.
However, his hands were gentle and soft when he comforted Xu Hui, for fear of hurting her and aggravating her pain.
But the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and it was as tense as a stone.
"Mu Bai, you said you would be together for life and death!" Xu Hui didn't want to question him, but she couldn't help it. Tears had already blurred her vision.
“…I’m sorry!” Wei Mubai froze!
He thought that the two of them would have a future, so he made a promise to be together through life and death!
But I didn’t expect that this future would be so short!
But could he still ask Xu Hui to be with him through life and death? Could he dare to ask Xu Hui to live and die with him?
When his cultivation level was higher than hers, he could easily make this promise, because he loved her and was willing to protect her forever and share his life with her!
But when Xu Hui had the opportunity to become a god, he couldn't selfishly ask her... to sacrifice for him!
This is not a noble character. Who can be without selfishness when facing the lover?
He just wanted her to be better, to go higher and further! Even if her future didn't include him!
Wei Mubai is a man of strong character, but after hearing the questioning and complaints in Xu Hui's words, he inevitably hesitated a little.
Perhaps this wasn't what Xu Hui wanted? She didn't really want to become a Qilin!
And without his protection, would she be in danger or get hurt?
Although Qilin is a mythical beast, it is not the only god. She will still encounter gods with evil intentions like the Ancient God. What if she is caught off guard and gets caught?
He had thousands and thousands of worries in his mind, each of which was about his uncertainty, hesitation and sadness towards Xu Hui.
But even so, he opened and closed his mouth, but what he said was, "You must be careful in everything from now on. Before you have absolute strength, stay in the mustard seed and don't leave. Don't confide in anyone, and don't sacrifice yourself for the people of the world. No one is more important than you..."
The reason she was chosen by Qilin was because she had a pure heart that was willing to sacrifice herself and protect the world.
But at this moment, Wei Mubai hoped that she could be a little more selfish, live only for herself, sit high above the throne of God forever, stay away from worldly cause and effect, and not be burdened by anyone.
Anyway, the Qilin is just a auspicious beast, not a god with a natural divine mission. In this case, it should not get involved in any cause and effect. It should just be a god forever, enjoy a long life, and live a leisurely life.
Every word of his advice and instructions was not out of concern or worry that she would follow Qilin's old path.
But there wasn't a single word asking her to stop and not become a god!
Xu Hui burst into tears. How could this happen? Why did it have to be like this?
"Don't be so nice to me..." she murmured. The more Wei Mubai acted like this, the more she felt like she had lost the only treasure in heaven and earth.
Such a shining soul, such a person who cherishes and loves her so much!
You will regret it for the rest of your life!
She cried heart-wrenchingly, but was extremely powerless. In the severe pain, tears became a luxury. It was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back. The pain made her mentally confused and unable to control her body with all her heart and soul.
She could only fall softly into Wei Mubai's arms, her soul floating in the sea of consciousness, as if this could temporarily escape the endless pain.
[Ding, the system has detected that the host is in critical condition. It can take over the host's body and repair and transform it unconsciously.]
It seemed that the system saw that she really couldn't hold on any longer, so it came to give her some warmth.
But Xu Hui doesn’t want it!
Even though the pain had pushed her to the limit, her body activated its self-protection program, and her soul was gradually withdrawing, she still stubbornly retained a faint sense of perception, unwilling to lose it completely.
This slight feeling is the only connection between her and Wei Mubai, allowing her to still feel the warmth of his embrace and hear the rhythm of his heartbeat.
She didn't know how long she could hold on to such a warm embrace, nor did she know how long she could possess this burning love that beat for her.
She can't bear to do it!
The more unbearable the pain is, the more I want to keep this warmth and wholehearted love.
The system did not understand her paranoia, and the mechanical and cold voice still echoed in her ears.
[Ding, the host's body and soul are on the verge of breaking point. Please immediately agree to the system takeover to avoid irreversible damage!]
'No! No! No!'
She repeated it over and over again, rejecting the system!
She didn't know what she was holding on to. The pain made it more and more unbearable for her. Gradually, it became difficult for her to even think, let alone concentrate her mind to feel that warmth.
But she just didn't want to, and she wanted to keep that touch of warmth in a self-deprecating way.
Wei Mubai sensed her pain. Through the contract, he could even feel that she had reached the critical point and was in extreme pain!
If this continues, Ah Hui won’t be able to bear it!
Regret surged in his heart again. Ah Hui was really in pain. Did he do something wrong?
But things have come to this point. Ah Hui has persisted for so long and has already felt all the pain. As long as she persists a little longer, her future will be bright!
It seemed that ever since she met him, she had been experiencing all kinds of pain time and time again, from cleansing her bones and marrow to various promotions. Her cultivation speed was unimaginably fast, but the pain she experienced was no less, even more than that of most cultivators, and every time it was extremely difficult to endure the most extreme pain!
If he had not brought this little girl back then, perhaps her speed would be slower, but it would definitely be steady!
He knew that she had a unique origin, a powerful helper who could bring her the most precious resources, and a naturally friendly physique.
Even without him, her future wouldn't be bad. It would be better than being broken and reassembled again and again. At least she wouldn't be so painful!
Tears welled up in Wei Mubai's eyes. Feeling the pain coming from her, which was almost to the brink of collapse, he made up his mind!
He activated the connection between the two, lit up the Heavenly Dao Contract, and transferred 80% of Xu Hui's pain to himself.
Doing so may affect Xu Hui's transformation, making her a less pure Qilin. It will take her longer to successfully obtain all the power of Qilin in the future.
But at this moment, she can suffer less, at least she will not completely interrupt the transformation process because she can't endure it.
As the pain shifted, Wei Mubai broke out in a sweat and his whole body twitched in pain. But when Xu Hui opened her eyes in surprise, he remained calm and soothed her with gentle eyes.
"I'm fine," he said softly, "but doing this might have some side effects. Your time recuperating in the Sumeru mustard seed might be extended by another 10,000 or 20,000 years."
Ten or twenty thousand years is really too long, especially for human cultivators!
After becoming an immortal, one may have a lifespan of ten thousand years, but the immortal world in that other world has huge and continuous battlefields that can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Wei Mubai himself was not sure whether he could survive this long battlefield in the fairy world.
Even if he could survive, as long as he didn't become a god, even if he reached the level of Immortal Emperor, he would only have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
But after Xu Hui's transformation was successful, he turned into a Qilin cub, and the growth period alone would take 70,000 years.
And now it will take another 10,000 to 20,000 years to repair the congenital defects caused by the current pain transfer.
Perhaps, until his death, the two of them will never see each other again!
But he doesn't regret doing this!
Xu Hui has reached her limit and can no longer bear it. Rather than fail, it is nothing to retreat for another ten thousand years.
Besides, this is the only thing he can do for her from now on!
"Ahui, I hope you will never suffer from all kinds of pain in the world again!" His tone was gentle but firm, like a rock, firm and unshakable!
Xu Hui smiled bitterly, her plan failed again!
She originally thought that when Wei Mubai realized that she was approaching her limit, he would change his mind out of reluctance.
However, he would rather transfer the pain to himself and never considered letting her give up.
He is as hard as iron and his heart is as solid as rock!
Looking at Wei Mubai's seemingly calm face, Xu Hui felt deeply helpless.
In the end, she made a wrong bet, thinking that Wei Mubai would give up his plan to make her a god because he felt sorry for her and couldn't bear her suffering.
Oh, he did feel sorry for her, but the result of this pity was that he silently transferred the pain to himself!
She had experienced that kind of pain herself, so how could she not understand the torment?
Wei Mubai was able to remain so calm and composed only because he was afraid that she would worry.
But how could she not worry?
She slowly closed her eyes and finally made a decision, "System, take over my body!"
At least, before they parted, she didn't want Wei Mubai to suffer such pain for her again!
[Ding, received! The system is taking over. Please relax and do not resist...]
