Chapter 104: Deep Roots of Emotion

  "Ah! How's your body now?" Liling nodded and slowly walked in front of Feng Rixi, saying "Let me see!"

  Upon hearing this, Feng Li Xi slightly raised her head, a smile rising to the corner of her lips as she said disapprovingly, "Still the same old tune! Waiting for death's rhythm!"

  Compared to the hard life before, waiting for an unknown death fate, this predetermined death made Feng Ri Xi more calm and accepting.

  For a mortal, she has lived for too long, too long. In this long period of time, she has been through two lifetimes, and has also loved, laughed, cried, and despaired... For her, there is nothing left to regret. Dying with dignity is her final thought.

  Rumors of Fūriki's words, Ruri's slender eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, but his face was always hidden behind the thick fog, and Fūriki couldn't see his expression at that moment.

  Ling Xue took hold of Feng Ri Xi's right hand, and slowly injected a thread of true yuan into her veins to probe the situation within her body. Feng Ri Xi did not resist, and very calmly accepted Ling Xue's probing.

  Throughout the entire investigation, Ruri was silent. And Flandre, who usually talked a lot, was also unusually quiet this time.

  She was dazed, peering through the thin fog at Lian's expression and face, but unfortunately, her cultivation was too shallow, and she couldn't see his true face.

  After a while, Rigan finally withdrew his true yuan and ended his investigation.

  He didn't say a word. She was afraid that her physical condition was worse than she had imagined. Feng Li pursed his lips, as if thinking.

  She paused for a moment, and then took a step forward, embracing Ruri Sakuragi and resting her head on his chest, quietly listening to the sound of his heartbeat, whispering softly, "Ruri Sakuragi, I'm going to die soon!"

  “……”

  "We've been together for hundreds of years, but I still haven't seen your face!" Seeing Lixuan not reacting, Fengli Xi continued, "Before I die, can you let me see what you really look like?!"

  Nor did she know how long she had waited, but just when Xi thought that Lian would never answer her again, Lian finally spoke up, "Alright!"

  But just as Fengri Xi was laughing heartily, Liushaen coldly threw out a sentence that almost choked her to death, "Wait until the right moment!"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi gritted her teeth and turned away, no longer paying attention to that person.

  What she lacks most now is time, since Lian Yulan didn't agree, why did he still agree to it in the first place?!

  This man is... even more despicable than Niu Yuqian!

  Given the huge gap in strength between her and him, since Fu Riyan couldn't be defeated, Feng Li Xi could only adopt a passive attitude of ignoring her.

  Seeing Fengli's somewhat downcast mood, Lianying took a step forward, placing her large hand on the soft crown of her head, gently massaging her hair, saying "Don't worry! I will definitely not let you die with your eyes closed!" The implication being that before she dies, he will definitely make sure she sees his face.

  Another sentence successfully shut him up.

  With a disdainful flip of her wrist, Fengli Xi slapped away the large hand that Ruri Sakuraba had placed on her head, gritting her teeth as she said, "Should I be grateful for your 'generosity' then?!"

  "You're welcome!" Unexpectedly, someone actually responded with a calm tone.

  Since things have been said to this extent, Feng Li Xi felt that it was no longer necessary to continue arguing with a certain despicable person. She simply raised her chin again and turned around, ignoring the great god with a huff.

  At this time, Lianying suddenly pulled her over with one hand, and a boundary of space appeared in the air. Just as Fengli Xi was about to struggle, Lianying suddenly said in her ear, "Someone is coming!"

  Upon hearing this, Fengli Xi stopped struggling and hid together with Ruri Sakuragi in the boundary space.

  After a while, as expected, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in the distance.

  As the two figures approached, Feng Xiding took a look and found that they were actually Xi Wu Dance Yun and Mo Junya?!

  She was still wearing a pale purple robe, but the expression between her eyebrows was no longer light and carefree. Her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, subtly revealing a hint of worry.

  "Master, perhaps you sensed incorrectly, Little Sister is not here!" At this time, Mo Junya tactfully stepped forward and softly persuaded.

  He Yuezong gave Mo Junya a cold glance, her tone icy and devoid of emotion. "You shouldn't be calling her 'little sister', you should be addressing her as 'Master Mother' instead!"

  Upon hearing this, Mo Junya's normally gentle face suddenly cracked, and without thinking, she coldly said, "Master, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Shan Jiuling has not yet registered her marriage with you, nor has she practiced dual cultivation with you. In the strictest sense, she is not your Dao partner. If I were to call her 'Master Mother', it would be unbecoming!"

  Her eyes sparkled like the stars in the deep ocean, "After this trip back to the sect, I will be married to Ling'er and we will cultivate together!"

  "No! This can't be!" Mo Junya was shocked, her face disbelieving. She didn't think twice and rushed forward to grab the wide sleeve of Xie Wu Duan, pleading bitterly, "Master! Can't you see that I, Ya, have... actually, I've already been in love with Master for a long time?"

  Although he vaguely knew about Mo Junya's thoughts, he pretended to be unaware of them because Mo Junya had always been very respectful towards him and never made any improper moves.

  However, Mo Junya's words and actions today were indeed unbecoming of her.

  Really has no sense of propriety!

  "Shut up!" Xi Yue Wu Yun closed her starry eyes, coldly shaking off Mo Junya's clinging arm, and sternly said, "Mo Junya! Don't forget the vow I made in the beginning!"

  “……”

  "Forever and ever, you can only be my disciple, and only a disciple!" Half a beat later, Xiuyue Wuyu's icy words were spat out one by one, each word striking Mo Junya's heart. "As for Ling'er, no matter if she is in heaven or on earth, she will forever be the wife of Xiuyue Wuyu! Forever!"

  As Xī Yuè Wǔ Yú spoke out the heart-wrenching words one by one, Mò Jūn Yǎ's face instantly turned pale, and tears burst forth uncontrollably. "Master, you..."

  "From today on, I'll pretend you never said anything! Don't ever do it again!" Mo Qian interrupted Mo Junya's unfinished words with impatience, turned around and continued to say sternly, "…otherwise, I will not forgive you lightly!"

  Looking at the faint figure of Xi Yue, Mo Junya's chest was still deeply shocked by his words, making her feel a heart-wrenching pain. But now that things have been said to this point, if she continued to entangle herself, she feared it would only make him more disgusted.

  But it's not easy for her to completely give up, is it?!

  She had followed him for too long, so long that her admiration for him had already penetrated into her bones and was hard to extinguish.

  Fortunately, she has plenty of time, and there's a long way to go!

  She can wait, but she will never give up!

  No one can make her give up, and she will never give up!

  Mo Junya thought for a moment, suppressing the sour feeling that kept rising in her heart. She cleared her throat and resumed a respectful demeanor, saying slowly and respectfully, "Yes! Master!"

  Xuē Yú Wǔ Yù naturally didn't know and didn't want to know what Mò Jūn Yǎ was thinking at this moment. Seeing her lightly respond, Xuē Yú Wǔ Yù also didn't say anything else. With a flick of his sleeve, he had already retreated ten meters away. Mò Jūn Yǎ naturally didn't dare to slow down either. Although there were still tears on her face, she tightly followed in Xuē Yú Wǔ Yù's footsteps.

  Fengri Xi watched as Xie Youwu swiftly ran away with an extraordinary posture, without any intention of following up. However, when she suddenly lifted her head, she found that Xie Youwu had turned around and was staring straight in the direction where she was hiding.

  A sudden surprise in the wind.

  She collided with his gaze, which was impossible to ignore, and in an instant, the starlight seemed to shatter into a thousand pieces, like tears, like whispers, filled with infinite tenderness. His face remained cold, but his eyes were burning with an unstoppable, eerie light, and his pale purple pupils were intimidatingly majestic.

  Fenglixue had never seen Xiangyue's expression so complex. It left her momentarily speechless.

  If she weren't within the barrier set by Ruri, Fuu Riishi would have definitely thought that Haku Menya had already discovered her trail. After all, there was a blood oath bond between them, so it wasn't strange for him to be able to find her.

  She stood still for a while, gazing at the place where Xi Yue was hiding in the wind, before turning around and leaving with her eyebrows furrowed.

  After they left, the silent Lian Yu withdrew the seal and asked casually, "Girl, why didn't you go out to meet your master?"

  "Lingyue, do you think it's suitable for me to go out in that situation just now?" Shaking her head, Fengri Xi said faintly, "Moreover, leaving Master, I can act more conveniently on my own!"

  After a few moments of silence, Ruri suddenly spoke up and asked, "You really don't have any feelings for your... master?"

  At this, Fūri looked at Ruri with a surprised expression.

  Based on her understanding of Lian Yu, he would not gossip like that. However, every time it seemed to involve Xi Yue Wu, Lian Yu's reaction was always somewhat abnormal.

  "After some thought, Feng Li hesitated over her choice of words, 'Like Xi Shi dancing in the rain, a man who can rival the sun and moon in brilliance, how could he not move a woman's heart?'"

  "Why then..."

  "What's the point of stirring up emotions? Just for that fleeting moment of excitement, I'd have to let both sides suffer through an uncertain future. I asked myself, do I have the courage to take on that burden?" Windy smiled faintly and continued, "Ling Xue, you should know that when I fell in love with Ming Ying, we both gave up so much, until now, my heart is still tormented by longing every day. This love has left me battered and exhausted, I asked myself, do I have the courage to take on another romance?"

  “……”

  After some thought, Feng Ri Xi Qing gave a faint smile, "Moreover... I suppose that the 'obsession' my master currently has towards me will dissipate on the day his demonic energy is eliminated and his spiritual sea returns to its rightful place!"

  At this, Lianying didn't say much more, only lowering her eyebrows and sighing, "Girl, you're too rational... What's the harm in letting loose occasionally?!"

  A gentle smile in the wind, her tone was filled with an unprecedented firmness, "I dare not indulge, for I cannot bear the consequences!"

  Ling Xuan was about to say something else, but stopped abruptly just as he opened his mouth.

  He turned around and gazed into the northwest direction, his white clothes fluttering without wind, with a hint of ethereal elegance that transcended the mundane. After gazing for several breaths, Lianying withdrew her sleeves, stretched out her left hand to calculate for a moment, before turning around to say calmly to Fengri Xi, "The immortal energy in the northwest direction is showing unusual activity, let us go and investigate, perhaps there is a great opportunity waiting for you!"

  "En!" Fengli nodded in agreement, without raising any objections.

  With Yurisha, this great god by her side, she naturally wouldn't be in any danger. There's no need to worry about the risks that come with fate being unable to bear it.

  Lingyue Lei's fierce wind swept across, and as soon as he saw the wind responding below, his figure instantly transformed into a purple escape light, disappearing in the northwest direction.

  She twitched the corner of her mouth, and Feng Li Xian deeply knew that Lian Yu didn't mean to wait for her. At once, she also didn't dare to be slow, immediately summoning out Xiao Bai, closely following behind Lian Yu's fleeing light.

  Since arriving in the 8th dimension, Xiaobai's days have become quite 'moist', with every day spent enjoying the absorption of spiritual energy. At first, Fengli Xi thought that Xiaobai's absorption of spiritual energy was just a playful and tasty attitude, but unexpectedly, Xiaobai's speed and evolution had increased by tens of times compared to before.

  If placed in the past, with Xiao Bai's stout physique, he would have been panting and exhausted after running for a short while. But now, his speed can barely keep up with Lian Xiang's flying escape speed, which is an unexpected gain for Fengli Xi.

  The author has something to say: PS: Xi Xi's thoughts about her master, this chapter fully expresses them!
