Chapter Fifty-Three: Svetlana

  Li Sihang's words made both people in the carriage fall silent for a moment. Mo suddenly raised her head and looked at him firmly, "Can you tell me, what is your purpose?"

  After a moment of silence, Li Sihang spoke up, "For revenge!" Looking straight into Mo's black eyes, Li Sihang decided to reveal his true intention for getting close to her.

  "What?" Mo Mo also wanted to know, whether it was his own person or that long-lived broken stone head!

  "A thousand years ago, a superior god destroyed the White Feather Nation to support the royal family's dominance over the world. The guardian gods of more than 100 nations failed and transformed into humans with the surname Li, flourishing their descendants on this land. However, the gods were resentful of the superior god's actions, and gradually, their grievances spread among their descendants. By the time it reached the Li family's generation, the White Feather Nation's shaman sensed that the seal placed by the superior god a thousand years ago was about to be broken, and wanted the Li family to send out their children to start hunting down the superior god's physical body."

  Li Sixing looked at Mo's gradually pale face and his increasingly furrowed brow, and couldn't bear to continue speaking.

  "Am I the mortal body of that Upper God? So, we are destined to mutually slaughter each other?" Momo said out loud the ending both had already understood. "Then do you want to kill me now?"

  "I don't know, ever since I had Li Wu Ye's memories, I've become indecisive. Looking at your love and hatred, I don't know if this feeling is his or mine." Li Si Xing closed his eyes, not wanting to see Mo Mo's sorrowful gaze.

  "What do you plan to do now?" Mo's tone was surprisingly calm, and after a pause, she said "Can't someone else kill Xing Chen for me? I don't want to see Mother unhappy!" It turned out that Mo had already made the worst assumption.

  Before I die, I want you to promise me personally to kill Xing Chen! He no longer brings happiness to Mother, but instead humiliation and resentment!" The tears in Mo's eyes caused Li Si Xian some inexplicable pain, he didn't know if this heartache was for her or himself.

  "Mo Zhu, this time you're going to Loulan, not planning to help Xing Xu Chen conquer the city, but instead want to pull out the weeds from the roots?" Li Si Xian was somewhat surprised by the little woman in front of him. Usually she looked silly and foolish, as if she didn't have a brain. But now, her eyes were resolute and fearless, not afraid of anyone or anything.

  "I won't kill you until the seal on your divine soul is lifted. If the seal is broken, I'll use Snowfall in my hand to end it." Li Sihang saw a hint of excitement in Mo's eyes.

  "Really? Then I'll protect you too!" Mò Mò clenched his right fist and made a pumping motion with it, looking at Li Sī Xíng whose mouth curled up into a smile. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, earning him a sideways glance from Mò Mò.

  "How can you not believe I can protect you? I'm a ruthless and decisive person!" Mo Mo proudly displayed his hand in a lotus shape. With a sudden flick, the books in the distance suddenly scattered everywhere. Papers filled the sky.

  "Uh-huh. I know." Li Si Xing collected his smile and returned to being a serious iceberg, making Mo Mo feel uncomfortable. Just now he was all sunny, but now it's freezing cold. She pouted her mouth and glared at him.

  Li Sixing made a silencing gesture to Mo Mo. He floated quietly to the window and heard a rustling sound. Mo Mo also peeked outside through the gap, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. The distant camp was noisy, and she couldn't make out what was being said either. She looked up at Li Sixing's serious face and guessed that he must have overheard some useful information. Thinking about her own recent blunder, her face turned red and white.

  Lost in thought. Li Si Xing turned around and said "Congratulations, you've got another fan."

  Mo Mo looked at him in confusion and puzzlement. "What does it mean?"

  "Svetlana, you're with him, aren't you?" Li Sixing mentioned the woman who made Mo Mo grit her teeth.

  "Bring it on, how can you also take care of her?" Mo Mo didn't use a good tone, Li Si Xing looked at the current Mo Mo, and for an instant, he seemed to have seen the invincible god in the secret room of the Li family. "Mo Zhu, if you want to get Lou Lan, you still need to rely on her."

  "Oh?" Mo's slender eyebrows rose, her almond-shaped eyes wide with curiosity. "Tell me, how can I rely on her to get to Loulan?"

  "It doesn't matter, just call her over and ask." Li Sihang was really fed up with women's hatred, because hatred is the blindfold that covers all emotions, making people unable to see the truth, just like Mo Mo now, for Su Manran, she wanted to destroy the entire dynasty.

  "Then call her over and I'll ask her how she can help me!" He said with a huff, then yelled to the palace maid outside to summon Svetlana.

  Before long, Svetlana appeared in front of Mo with a red dress on, and knelt down with a curtsy, "Your Highness, I wish you peace."

  Mo didn't let her get up, and glanced at her sideways. She picked up the tea bowl on the low table, not looking at Li Si's slightly curved mouth and shaking head.

  "You go back to Loulan..." Mo Mo deliberately prolonged the tone, wanting to see Svetlana's reaction, but she didn't get what she wanted. The expression on Lan Fei's face remained unchanged. Li Si Xing sighed, these two people who were kneeling and sitting, were clearly of similar age, yet their minds were so vastly different.

  Mo didn't find what she wanted in her expression, feeling depressed and quickly asked the purpose of calling her this time: What are you doing back in Loulan?

  Svetlana raised her head and looked at Mo Mo, saying lightly "Find the person I want to find, avenge the revenge I want."

  "Revenge?" Mo Mo put down his teacup, sat up straight and stared at the face that made all men fall for her.

  "Yes." Svetlana turned her head to look at Li Sixing, who was standing still beside her, and didn't say a word. Li Sixing shifted his body slightly and said to Mo Mo, "Master Mo, I'll go down first. If anything comes up, have them send for me." He opened the door and retreated.

  "Speak." Mo remained unmoving, still not letting her up.

  Svetlana didn't think much of it, "I was originally the daughter of a herdsman leader on the grasslands, only because I looked good, my father gave me to Loulan Prince Xuan Yu as his concubine. For the one I loved, I didn't become the king's concubine. So, Xuan Yu made me sing and dance every day, searching everywhere for treasures just to get a smile from me. This prince made the King of Loulan very dissatisfied, Xuan Jiu Tian thought I was bewitching his son, so he sent me to the emperor of the dynasty. Just when I thought my life would end here, I found out that the one I loved in Loulan had become a laborer at the lowest level, he's a weak scholar, how could he endure? So I want to return to Loulan! Half for his rescue, half for revenge!"

  Mo Mo thought for a moment and said "You've told me everything, aren't you afraid I'll tell the Emperor?" Mo Mo wasn't brainless either.

  "He underestimated you, Princess. He thought it was his doing that you sat in the unnamed position; even the unknown life-saving of Xuan Yu, he thought was Chen Yu's handwriting; this time back, going to Tianji Mountain, if not for the divine beast, I'm afraid it would have been impossible..."

  Mo Mo felt depressed in her heart: indeed, none of it was done by me. So far, nothing has been achieved. No way, I want to create my own career, although there are only two and a half years left...
