Chapter 32: The Light of the Poles
Embracing the person in her arms, Mo Jiu's melancholy was so intense that she wished time would stand still at this moment. This fleeting eternity surpassed the world's permanence! However, it couldn't be; they had gone through countless hardships to arrive here, not to indulge in romantic chatter.
"Ah..." The two people slightly separated, Mo Jiu's lingering gaze remained as he pressed his thin lips together, only then reluctantly letting go.
Under the cover of this holy white light, the black air that had been surrounding her suddenly disappeared like a mouse seeing a cat. The boisterousness of the past was gone. She gently pursed her thin lips and still leaned against the man's chest. Some people say that those with thin lips are heartless and unlucky, but this person's companionship over countless days had warmed her heart time and again.
"Let's go find the source of the aurora, okay?" Gently stroking Xiao Yao's back, Mo Jue rarely relaxed. Xiao Yao had become so thin and frail, if they could really cure her, they would have to fatten her up again, a chubby and soft Xiao Yao was just too adorable!
"Good..." nodded in the man's arms, lightly arrogant but only talking and not acting, just for the rare peace of these days.
"Foolish girl..." Looking at the person who was acting like a spoiled kitten, the man's heart became even softer. He picked her up in one swift motion and headed towards the vast Aurora Borealis.
The long road stretches out to the horizon, with only that sacred light hanging above my head at times, flashing by and then disappearing in an instant, without any regularity, leaving me completely bewildered.
Nor did they know how long they had walked, but the light madness being held felt tired, and the vast space seemed to have no end. Mo Jiu's face was also heavy with solemnity.
"Tired or not? Put me down!" She gazed at the man's eyes, asking with a hint of concern. She felt that her body was much better now, and previously she just wanted this long-awaited care.
"Not tired. My little girl just has to be held by me!" But holding a human was truly light as could be for him. Moreover, this was his beloved little girl, and no matter how long he held her, he was more than happy to do so.
It can't go on like this, struggling down, constantly sizing up the light above.
"Tired or hungry?" He gently stroked the thin, weak little face, and Mo Jiu couldn't help but feel a pang of self-reproach for not being able to take good care of Xiao Ya.
"It's fine." But actually saying it makes me feel even hungrier. However, there's nothing around here, and finding something to eat is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Looking at the self-blaming man, Mo Jiu Yu's palm suddenly lit up with a flash of inspiration! Since the Dark Soul Pearl has calmed down, if she eats the Life Fruit now, it shouldn't have any adverse effects, right?
The idea had just flashed through his mind when he took out two Life Fruits and started eating them in big mouthfuls, not forgetting to give one to Mo Jiu You.
"Ah-ya!" The scene that had just occurred flashed before her eyes again, and Mo Jiu Yu anxiously looked at her.
He took a big bite of the Life Fruit in his hand, and both of them waited for the situation to develop. In an instant, Qing Kuang's face turned somewhat embarrassing, and the greedy Dark Spirit Pearl didn't let go of even this little bit of energy, starting to surge violently again. Originally having a strong desire to win, Qing Kuang was now stirred up with fighting spirit, anyway, whatever happened, there was this person by his side, nothing to be afraid of!
Sit still, and with a fierce determination, Qian Xun used the spiritual energy within his body to forcibly sever the connection between the Dark Spiritual Pearl and the other Spiritual Pearls, isolating it. Without the restraint of the Dark Spiritual Pearl, the other Spiritual Pearls suddenly lost their balance, like unruly children, each trying to outdo the others in a display of strength. The Dark Spiritual Pearl, under Qian Xun's control, let out an angry wail, struggling for a long time before finally being ruthlessly pulled out and suspended outside his body.
As the convergence of all spiritual powers, it is only the essence of spiritual power that has condensed into a bead-like shape. However, just as the dark system spirit bead was pulled out, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and the entire space seemed to have stopped for a moment, followed by those sacred light rays that quickly gathered and wrapped Liang Ke and the dark system spirit bead in front of her.
Where there is light, there is darkness; just as the most dazzling light also has darkness in it. And in endless darkness, there will be the appearance of light. Light and darkness coexist to reach the ultimate evolution!
Surrounded by the light of the extreme, the dark soul pearl is like a caged beast, constantly roaring and struggling to break free; while on the contrary, the holy light is like a loving mother, embracing all the child's behavior within an acceptable range, allowing it to rage but holding everything in hand.
One by one, the polar lights floated in, and it was unknown when they would dissipate. The white mist-like light still had some silver light accompanying it, and unintentionally, countless brilliance spilled down. The light formed a huge white cocoon. At first, the lightly veiled pain was unbearable, but gradually, his expression began to calm down. It was also at this time that the dark system spirit pearl either yielded or the polar lights were too powerful, a small white dot appeared in the dark system spirit pearl, although it was initially just an inconspicuous little bit, however, as time passed, a second and third one appeared, then slowly gathered together, finally forming the size of a thumb.
In the Polar Light, Qingkuang's expression relaxed, unaware of how anxious Mo Jiao was beside him. No matter how anxious he was, it wasn't something he could intervene in. Moreover, he had previously injured Mo Yuan and could only wait, so he might as well seize the opportunity to repair Mo Yuan. Although the man thought this way and acted accordingly, his gaze would occasionally drift towards Qingkuang, and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he would speed up the repair of Mo Yuan.
As time passed, when the white light dots gathered together and became more noticeable, Leng Qiu's satisfaction grew. Feeling that the time was almost ripe, he drew all the life elements in his body to the Dark Soul Pearl, but the pearl, which had been quietly absorbing the life elements, suddenly began to absorb them at an accelerated rate. Fortunately, the white light dot in the middle also expanded, offsetting each other, and the probing life elements barely managed to penetrate into the Dark Soul Pearl. The Light Soul Force transformed from the Polar Origin's light seemed to have met a close relative, showing great intimacy with the life elements.
Under the infiltration of life elements, the tiny white light in the dark system spirit pearl was slowly extracted, dazzling gold, white and silver colors intertwined, under the double coordination of polar lights and life elements, the light system spirit pearl gradually took shape, still continuously absorbing the energy of both, for a time completely overwhelming the dark system spirit pearl, even forcing it to a corner, pitifully suspended.
As soon as the Light Spirit Pearl appeared, it immediately caused the extreme joy of the light in space, and the more brilliant light rushed into it, surpassing the previous one. In just a moment, its size was comparable to that of the Dark Spirit Pearl, and even surpassed it. Now that both the Light and Dark Spirit Pearls are present, the two opposing attributes should be mutually exclusive, but for Qing Kuang, this is not a difficult task. Because from the Taiji Bagua, yin and yang can be divided into two instruments, just like in the vast universe, everything contains yin and yang, right or wrong, light and dark. The relationship between them is both mutually opposing and interdependent. At the same time, it can also serve as the origin and principle of all things in the world, and can be used as the root cause of the production and destruction of things. What she was thinking of at this moment was to mix the two attributes of Spirit Pearls like the Bagua diagram, so that they could coexist, exist independently, and achieve a state where "you have me in you, and I have you in me".
Of course, the idea is good, but to really do it, there is still some difficulty. The soft and fluffy light system spirit pearl is easy to say, but when encountering a dark system spirit pearl that refuses to cooperate, things are not easy to handle.
With a determined look, using the element of life as a medium, Leng Qiang used all his might to squeeze the two together. However, the two opposing properties were not so easily reconciled. The two spiritual beads rotated independently, and every time they met, they collided violently. Even Leng Qiang was worried, Spiritual Bead... Spiritual Bead...
In an instant, a brilliant idea flashed, and Qing Kuang was excited about this idea, Refine the equipment!
The spiritual energy is the origin of this world, whether it's humans or demons, they all rely on absorbing spiritual energy to achieve their goals of cultivation or practice. Tracing back to the source, the essence is the same. When refining equipment, since she can refine various demon cores, why can't she use the same method to combine her own spiritual pearls together? Although it's a risk, it's worth a try.
Since both spiritual beads are close to the life element, use the life element as a bridge, just like the insects in amber, and by the time they are discovered, it's too late. Countless life elements will wrap around the two beads, constantly transporting energy. Of course, the two spiritual beads happily absorb them, and at the same time, they get closer and closer, being "bonded" together by the life element until they can no longer be separated.
Until the task was accomplished, Xiao Kuang finally let out a slight sigh of relief. Next, he put the two Lingzhu back onto the Lingji, stabilizing them in the middle. The various spiritual powers that were originally restless all became obedient, after all, "Mountain King" had returned, and it came back with two! Where did they dare to make a fuss? In comparison to the Dark Spiritual Pearl's tyrannical dominance, the Light Spiritual Clan's peaceful and serene nature brought balance to the various spiritual powers.
At this moment, the promotion array under Qingkuang began to flash, and the previous dark energy and blood disappeared. A large piece of holy light flashed, and there were also five-colored lights emerging from it. Holy, ethereal, giving people an infinite sense of comfort. Until Ling Xing appeared, stopping at Tianxuan Realm's second star, no longer as aggressive as before, the promotion was finally successful.
The white cocoon that had enveloped the Polar Light slowly dispersed, and a large red figure gradually appeared. Mo Jiu You's eyes stared unblinkingly, fearing an unpredictable outcome. However, when the figure became clear, the man couldn't help but be taken aback, seriously sizing up the newly reborn Qing Kuang. The holy light behind him was like a celestial being; the large red robes accentuated his slender and delicate physique, with jet-black hair that fell to his shoulders, gently fluttering in the wind. His curved eyebrows, raised eyelashes, and still the same pair of Mo Jiu You's eyes gazed at him with a smile. His skin was smooth like jade, his small nose, and his red lips were slightly upturned, revealing an overjoyed expression. However, upon seeing his sunken jawline, Mo Jiu You furrowed his brow; his little servant had become even more delicate, but too thin, looking pitiful. Putting aside his dissatisfaction for now, the most noteworthy thing was that Qing Kuang's aura had undergone a tremendous change - if previously he was like an unsheathed sharp sword, ready to harm at any moment, now he seemed like a simple and unassuming warm jade, as if nothing mattered to him, yet simultaneously embracing everything.
Stretching out her arm, Mo Jiu Yu looked at the person in front of her with eager eyes. Together they shared joy and sorrow, from the depths of the underworld to the ends of the earth, she only wished for this one person to accompany her!
A flash of red, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, she quickly threw herself into the man's arms, rubbing against him coquettishly, with the demeanor of a little woman, where was the ethereal quality of just before?
"Alright, is that it? My little girl, alright?" The man asked excitedly, even more thrilled than Bi Qingxiao, as he spun the lovely woman in his arms around several times, kissing her fiercely a few times, his hands still tightening.
Holding Mo Jiu You's neck tightly, feeling the man's breath, the heavy stone that had been pressing on Qing Kuang's heart for a long time was finally put down. Due to the derivation of the light system's spiritual power, Qing Kuang became more calm and peaceful in her mind, not to mention having a great epiphany, but at least she wouldn't easily get stuck in a dilemma when looking at problems. This person would never give up on her, abandon her, no matter what time it was. As long as she was still Qing Kuang, whether she was a beggar or an ordinary person, or even the demon queen who was being hunted down by the whole world, this person would not leave her side, and that was enough! Enough!
Hanging on the man's body, lightly crazy always at the man's neck, two hearts in such close proximity, thumping, who is bewildered...
"Mojūyōu......" A soft and gentle voice came over, making the man's heart turn into a mush.
"What's wrong?" The man tilted his head slightly and gave another light kiss before asking softly.
"Nothing much, just wanted to call out to you." A slight shake of the head, his nonchalance still lingering on him, refusing to come down.
However, a white shadow flashed by, and it was Chuxue, who had always been obedient and listened to others, that broke the warm atmosphere between the two.
"First snow?" He couldn't help but get down from Mo Jiu You's back, looking at the white tiger by his feet with a mixture of surprise and puzzlement. The once weak little guy had grown very robust, except for one flaw - his eyes still couldn't see.
"Master, it seems like there's something here, I can sense it. Can you wait a bit for Chuxue? Chuxue will be right back." The cautious inquiry was accompanied by Xiao Baihu's misty eyes following the sound to locate Lian Huang's position.
"Will it be dangerous?" For a little guy who has always made her worried, she didn't feel at ease with his recklessness.
"Can't... something is calling me, can I go see the first snow?" The little guy's legs were tapping lightly, and he was "looking" at her with those flawed yet misty eyes.
Because it was the little guy's first request, Qing Kuang was indeed in a dilemma. In the end, Mo Jiu You made a decisive blow and allowed the little guy to go. "Go quickly and come back quickly! If you make us wait too long, you don't have to come back!"
Having been by Xiao Kuang's side for so long, the little guy naturally knew that what the male master said could completely represent the master. Having obtained permission, the white little tiger finally stood up straight, trying hard to maintain its balance, and walked in an unknown direction.
"First snow, be careful, if you encounter any danger, be sure to tell the master, understand?" After repeated instructions, Light still didn't feel at ease, after all, First Snow and Gluttony were different.
The little guy turned his head and looked at Qingkuang with those misty eyes, answering obediently, then slowly disappeared into the beast's shadow.
"Don't worry, girl. This contract beast of yours is not simple at all. The bloodline is completely filled with the aura of the Heavenly Realm. Similarly, as a light system magic beast, who knows, maybe by chance, at the end of this world, you might really encounter something good."
"But I hope..." The joy that had been there before was now mostly gone, and with a light and anxious heart, he gazed out at the distance, where the white beast's shadow had disappeared in an instant.
"Come, sit down, let's wait slowly. Haven't you always wanted to cure his eyes? This polar light is extraordinary, we haven't found the source of the light, maybe he can find it, or perhaps he'll get a chance to heal his eyes." Ling Kong sat in mid-air, holding the person in her arms, Mo Jue did her best to comfort the frantic heart.
"Really?" As soon as she heard this, her eyes lit up with excitement. If it was really like that, then it would be great! The too quiet first snow couldn't be run or jumped around in, and she always felt it was a pity. If her eyes could be cured, it would make up for this regret.
"It's still possible, let's just wait here, after all the light source of the aurora isn't that easy to detect, we've been searching for so long and haven't found it yet, have we?" The man said this with his mouth, but in reality he was probably about 80-90% certain.
"Alright, we'll wait!" Anyway, there's finally hope, right? Leaning against Majo Yuu's chest, Hikaru gazed out at the distance.
Bring out the previous life fruit, Mo Jiu Yu contained a smile and fed it to Qing Kuang's mouth. If he didn't have anything to eat in his hands now, there would be no need to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
"Hmm? This is for you, I have a lot more." She dodged back and looked up at the man with a slight smile.
"I'm the Demon King, I can go without eating these things. You've been here for so long and haven't eaten anything yet, have a little something to hold you over first. When that little guy comes back, I'll take you out to eat some good food right away. By then, my little girl will be nice and plump!" He handed it forward again, seeing Xiao Huang eat, Mo Jiu Yu was instantly satisfied, what a good kid!
She took a bite of the fruit and gently pulled the man's neck, feeding it into Mo Jiu You's mouth. It was just a small bite of fruit, but in that sweet kiss, it slowly disappeared, leaving only a few drops of juice flowing down her chin. Her thin lips slowly moved downwards, licking up every last drop of juice, but the movement was slow and deliberate.
Leaning back her head, closing her eyes, she felt the gentle kiss on the corner of her mouth, letting it slowly sweep across her neck.
Two people share honor and shame together, never parting or abandoning each other. It's not easy to reunite again, and everything is developing in a good direction. They are savoring the warmth and sweetness of this moment.
"Mo Jiu You......" was bitten hard, lightly opening his eyes full of water vapor and red pupils, pitifully looking at him.
However, it was also because of this soft and gentle whisper that the man became even more vicious, with red marks flashing, and in some places, even bleeding.
Digression
Uh... this... um... forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow instead...
