With your abilities, attempting to undo it would only allow her to be reborn. She swore to destroy the Ghost Realm, and then the realm would be doomed.
I felt a sense of desolation, knowing the origin of the River of Bones yet unable to do anything. Would I and Mu Chen only be able to gaze at each other from afar in this lifetime?
Mu Chen spoke: “Let’s go back.”
Knowing we could do nothing by staying, yet unwilling to give up. I looked at him, feeling utterly discouraged: “I am not resigned to this.”
He nodded, his hand caressing my face: “Neither am I.”
My nose tingled, and I was crying uncontrollably again. Unwilling to return to square one, even the previous Ghost King said there was no way, so perhaps it truly cannot be undone. If Mu Chuan were to risk being devoured by the ghost realm to break the seal, I couldn’t be so selfish.
Mu Chuan wiped the tears from my cheek, saying, “Suo Suo, as long as we’re both still alive, we’ll find a way.”
A white-hot light circle appeared beneath my feet, and as I began to sink, I reached out and hugged his waist, burrowing into his embrace.
Before returning, my head buzzed, and my heart felt like it was about to split. I held him tighter, hearing his low growl in my ear: “Suo Suo, let go. Do you want to die?”
“I don’t want to!”
Let me stay by his side a little longer.
With his cultivation, he wouldn’t be in pain temporarily, his heartbeat still normal. I didn’t want to let go, knowing once I did, I didn’t know how long it would be before I could hold him again.
He tried to pry my fingers away, and I cried out, “I don’t want to! You can’t let me go!”
His force grew stronger, and my fingers were painfully bent. Enduring the pain, I let go, watching him move further away until he disappeared. I fell heavily to the ground. After a long while, urgent footsteps approached from the forest.
Seeing Zhen Nü, I grabbed her and asked, “Where’s Mu Chuan?”
