“He’s already returned safely. Qing Yuan, the Great Priest, has gone to find him,” she said. “What happened? Didn’t find the clue? Why are you crying like this?”
I wiped my tears and told her everything, feeling more miserable with each word.
Zhen Nü thought for a long time, then took my hand. “Return to the Divine Realm. This time, I’ll find Yao Chi Immortal. She once told me that if we return without success, we could explain the details to her. The Immortal has eight thousand years of cultivation and might be able to help you.”
My wilted heart suddenly reignited, and I nodded, “I’ll go right now! Help me tell Mu Chuan to wait for my return!”
“Okay…”
Before she could finish, I had already rushed towards the Gate of Reincarnation.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, I was satisfied.
At least, I still had something to look forward to, preventing me from falling into complete despair.
Leaving the gate, I unsealed Fu Yun and leaped up: “Go find Yao Chi Immortal.”
“Okay,” it flew swiftly, saying, “Although Yao Chi Immortal has high cultivation, her curse techniques are slightly lower than the Supreme God’s. If even the Supreme God couldn’t do something, how could she easily promise to help you?”
I suddenly stopped, the wind still rushing past my ears, my thoughts spinning. If what Fu Yun said was true, then Zhen Nü was deceiving me. Recalling Zhen Nü’s unrestrained gaze, I was shocked: “Return to the Ghost Realm.”
The Gate of Reincarnation hadn’t closed, and someone emerged. Looking up, I saw a solemn face directly approaching, landing on Fu Yun: “Stop.”
I stared at her, “Zhen Nü, what are you doing?”
Zhen Nü’s eyes narrowed, “Do you really want to die? After going to the Corpse Bone River, the water became more polluted, and the resentful spirits are about to become uncontrollable. If you and Mu Chuan get closer, you’ll be walking to your death! Your heart is already half-consumed. Even if you want to die, I won’t let you!”
Sitting on Fu Yun, I became calm, looking at her: “Zhen Nü, have you ever truly loved someone? You like collecting souls, but you’ve never spoken your heart to him. Someone like him would never know your feelings.”
