Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 330 That Was Love
Mo Wuji, covered in injuries, had a look of determination in his eyes. Severely wounded, he had no way to escape except to use the Azure Cloth Heart and perish together with these people.
Around Mo Wuji, an area actually became empty. Countless cultivators surrounded this vacant space in the starry sky, creating a somewhat eerie scene.
Just then, a sudden gale arose in the starry sky. Mo Wuji also looked up in surprise, and a familiar voice sounded in his ear, "Don't move, follow me..."
Cen Shuyin? Mo Wuji immediately sensed who it was. The Heavenly Machine Staff in his hand paused and didn't strike out. At the same time, he quickly stopped the Azure Cloth Heart that he was about to activate. If he activated the Azure Cloth Heart at this time, Cen Shuyin would definitely have a hard time escaping.
Then, the gale swept him up and rushed out of this strange empty space in the starry sky.
"Someone used the Wind Escape Technique to take him away..." a cultivator immediately reacted, shouting loudly.
"Chase, with the Wind Escape Technique, don't even think about bringing someone away, even alone you can't escape."
...
The other cultivators didn't even say a word and chased after them. Wasn't Mo Wuji also proficient in the Wind Escape Technique? He was still surrounded, and in the end, he had to fight desperately.
So what if you know the Wind Escape Technique? With enemies on all sides in the starry sky, the Wind Escape Technique is not a panacea.
A familiar softness and fragrance wafted over, and Mo Wuji felt a warmth in his heart. Now that he was surrounded by enemies, the only one in this starry sky who would risk so much to save him was probably Cen Shuyin.
"It's useless, put me down and escape first. After your Great Wind Art is perfected, remember to avenge me," Mo Wuji said with a sigh. He had used the Wind Escape Technique, but still couldn't escape. Cen Shuyin's Wind Escape Technique seemed to be a bit inferior to his, making it even more difficult to escape.
Sure enough, as soon as Mo Wuji finished speaking, several signal flying swords shot out from not far away, followed by rapidly approaching figures of cultivators.
Cen Shuyin didn't answer Mo Wuji's words, but frantically fled. What surprised Mo Wuji was that Cen Shuyin's Wind Escape Technique was like a raging storm. It was the complete opposite of his gentle breeze.
Logically speaking, Cen Shuyin was a woman, so her Wind Escape Technique should be gentler.
After a moment, Mo Wuji felt an extreme heat emanating from Cen Shuyin's skin, and he knew what was happening. "Senior Sister Shuyin, put me down immediately. If this continues, neither of us will escape."
Cen Shuyin was burning her life force to stimulate the Wind Escape Technique, no wonder it was so violent. This was probably related to her cultivating the Great Wind Art. Great Wind Art, just hearing the name, you know it's not a gentle technique.
Cen Shuyin's clear spring-like voice indeed became hoarse and dry. Her words seemed to come from the opposite starry sky, sounding somewhat ethereal and illusory, "When I was little, I had a happy family. My dad and mom loved me the most. At that time, I felt like I was the happiest person.
That year when I was six years old, a person came to my house. After he saw my mom for the first time, he couldn't take his eyes off of her. Later, he and my dad were in the room, I don't know what they were talking about. After a long time, my dad came out and talked to my mom for a while..."
Cen Shuyin seemed like an outsider narrating a story to Mo Wuji, her tone slow and her voice a bit empty, "Later, my mom nodded to my dad, and said that even though I was young, she needed to tell me something. Later my dad agreed, and my mom brought me to the room. She told me..."
Cen Shuyin paused, and a sword light pierced through the starry sky, heading straight for Cen Shuyin's back. Mo Wuji barely struggled, shifting his body to the side while surging his Yuan Power. That sword light directly entered Mo Wuji's heart from behind. Mo Wuji opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, all of which landed on Cen Shuyin's shoulder.
However, under Mo Wuji's powerful Yuan Power surge, the sword light also dissipated in Mo Wuji's body, without affecting Cen Shuyin.
Cen Shuyin's body trembled slightly, and the temperature on her skin rose even higher. At the same time, the gale around her became even more violent, and her speed became faster.
Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin had accelerated the burning of her life force. He didn't continue to persuade Cen Shuyin, knowing that it was too late to say anything. If he could survive this time, he would never let go of the True God cultivator who ambushed him from behind, no matter who he was.
"My mom told me that if one day I wanted to marry someone, I must not believe the other person's sweet words. I must figure out how much the person I want to marry can give me..."
Mo Wuji was silent. He knew that before Cen Shuyin started cultivating, she should have come from the mortal world. Marrying in the mortal world naturally requires looking at the betrothal gifts.
"My mom said that if he is a king, he must at least give me a queen title. If he is a merchant, he must at least transfer half of his property under my name... I didn't understand, so I asked my mom, what if he is an ordinary person like my dad?
My mom smiled sadly, and said that my dad would soon no longer be an ordinary person, but would soon become a wealthy nobleman. She suddenly took out a dagger and inserted it into her chest. I cried and called for my mom. My mom wiped away my tears and said, Yinyin, Mom was wrong before, no matter who it is, if at a time you need them, they cannot give their life for you, no matter what they have, don't marry them, remember don't marry them... If there is such a person, remember when they need it, you also have to give your life... That is love... If you don't want to marry, remember not to take advantage of anyone, not even a tiny bit, listen to Mom, Mom is leaving..."
Mo Wuji was speechless. He heard a tragic and poignant story. A man actually sent his wife out for wealth and glory. His wife was of strong character and would rather die than engage in such a dirty transaction. This was a true scum, and this scum was actually Cen Shuyin's father.
Cen Shuyin focused on cultivation and never cared about matters between men and women, probably because of her own experiences. As for Cen Shuyin's nature of never taking advantage of others, it was probably influenced by her mother.
Just then, Mo Wuji heard someone shouting frantically from behind, "They are going to escape to the Extreme Ice Sea, quickly intercept them..."
Extreme Ice Sea? Mo Wuji was slightly stunned. He had heard of this place. Like the Thistle Wind Gate, it was one of the Nine Great Forbidden Zones.
At this moment, Mo Wuji finally understood why Cen Shuyin had been burning her life force to perform the Wind Escape Technique all the way. It turned out that she had planned it long ago, to escape into the Extreme Ice Sea.
Mo Wuji's Spiritual Will swept out and immediately saw a dazzling halo flickering in front of him. Before Mo Wuji could ask, Cen Shuyin had already brought him into the halo. Immediately, a wave of bone-chilling coldness spread throughout his body. In just a moment, cracks began to appear in his physical body.
This kind of coldness was not even half as weak as the underground coldness he had experienced when he obtained the Boundless Soul-Returning Flower. Mo Wuji quickly circulated his cultivation technique, but even so, he still couldn't stop his body from gradually cracking. He immediately sent the Azure Cloth Heart into the Reverse Circulation of the Heavens, and sure enough, only then did he barely resist this extreme coldness.
Cen Shuyin was still running rapidly, and Mo Wuji quickly shouted, "Senior Sister Shuyin, stop first."
Mo Wuji was certain that even if Cen Shuyin possessed an Ice Spiritual Root, she wouldn't be able to last long under this kind of coldness.
Cen Shuyin stopped, not because Mo Wuji told her to, but because she fell down on her own.
Mo Wuji quickly turned over, hugged Cen Shuyin, and sent the temperature from his body over.
Cen Shuyin's face was pale, and her hair had turned into snow silk. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mo Wuji, "No need, I know I've reached my limit. I also know that you definitely have a way to survive here, I was right after all..."
"Senior Sister Shuyin, I must save you..." Mo Wuji grabbed several pills and put them into Cen Shuyin's mouth.
Just as he wanted to continue speaking, he was stopped by Cen Shuyin, "...Wuji, actually I didn't listen to my mom, I took advantage of you... My windmill simply couldn't be exchanged for your Thunderbolt from Nothing, I was just deceiving myself... Also, the day I said you weren't Rogue Cultivator 2705, it wasn't what I really thought, I know, you are him...."
Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin's appearance, and felt very sad. Unfortunately, he couldn't save Cen Shuyin no matter what he did. When Cen Shuyin said "you are not him" that time, he didn't seem to feel much. But at this moment, when Cen Shuyin said "I know, you are him," Mo Wuji's heart was violently struck.
That heart, wounded and scarred by emotions, sprouted another tender bud.
"...I know about your relationship with Yan'er, you would risk your life to save your own maid, entering the madness of the Five Elements Wasteland with a Vein Opening Realm cultivation... I knew, you and my dad are two different kinds of people... There are many people who know I am in the Thistle Wind Gate... The only one who would risk their life to come in and save me... is you... you are the person my mom said who could give their life for someone they love...
But I can only love one person, my heart is too small, I can't and won't compete with another woman for a man, no matter who... Now it's good... I don't have to go against my heart..."
"I really want to know what it's like to have a Dao Companion... Mom said, that's love... Wuji, is that true..." Cen Shuyin slowly reached out her hand, wanting to touch Mo Wuji's face, but her hand only reached halfway before it completely fell down. Then, her head also fell from Mo Wuji's arms to the side, and she had no breath left.
Two tears fell from Mo Wuji's eyes onto Cen Shuyin's face, and Mo Wuji's heart was ice-cold. Compared to him, Cen Shuyin had lived a truly miserable life, never experiencing what it was like to be loved.
He gently picked up Cen Shuyin's cold hand and pressed it against his face. He also knew that Cen Shuyin had truly fallen this time. Even if the White-Bearded Old Fisherman came here, he probably wouldn't be able to save Cen Shuyin.
