Qing Yuan slowly blinked, his expression unchanged. A light fragrance wafted, and a soft laugh came: “Su Su, can you be any more pleased with yourself?”
Although it was hatred, it was not truly hatred. Hating that we were about to leave him behind, hating that we were together, while he was trapped in this ghostly realm, being a king high above, not truly free.
Mu Chuan watched him leave, smiled faintly, and continued pulling me forward: “Finally not confused.”
I tilted my head and looked at him, unsure if he was referring to me or Mu Yin.
The pear orchard was utterly silent, even the soft sound of falling petals was exceptionally clear.
Mu Chuan stopped again, embraced me, and kissed me deeply.
This feeling of not wanting to part, perhaps even a day of holding and kissing would not be enough.
This thousand-year separation, who knows how long it would take to fill, perhaps not even ten thousand years would suffice.
That year in the thatched cottage, with rain continuously falling, intimate inside, we lost our immortal essence by breaking our bodies, detected by pursuing divine soldiers. Before he could wake, I fled, taking my clothes, thinking I would return after evading the pursuers.
This parting, and when we met again, one had become a divine lord, the other a ghost king. And then, a thousand years of separation.
The strength around my waist loosened. Previously held tightly, now with little strength, my legs suddenly went soft as he released me. I grabbed his arms and looked at him, seeing his complexion was also extremely poor.
We were both stunned, seeing the intertwining black mist on our bodies, like a black hole about to devour us, absorbing the visible spiritual energy.
A light laugh suddenly came from behind the pear trees.
Reborn in Fire (Part 8)
Mu Chuan spoke harshly: “Get out!”
A person slowly walked out from behind the pear trees, with a lustrous pink hem, wearing a sly and chilling smile. Peony flower looked at us both, like watching trapped beasts: “Oh, you’re quite impressive, only sensing something was wrong after so long.”
I collapsed to the ground, no longer having the strength to stand. Mu Chuan took a step forward, causing pain in my chest. Seeing his pale complexion, I weakly said: “Don’t come closer.”
