940 The Devil in Luo Wushuangs Hear (1/2)
Yun Chuxiu was extremely curious as she asked, ”Divine Knife Luo, did you cultivate Neither Thought nor No Thought?”
Luo Wushuang shook his head and said, ”As long as I'm loyal to my blade and Dao, I will have no fears, so why would I fear the Great Void?”
Yun Chuxiu praised him, ”Divine Knife Luo, you certainly have a steady Dao heart, fitting of being called the number one divine knife of the celestial heavens!”
She turned around and told Qin Mu, ”Divine Knife Luo is dead, like you.”
Qin Mu smiled. ”I've had great guts since I was small and have never felt afraid before.”
Yun Chuxiu coldly laughed. ”Both of you are youths that know no fear. You don't fully comprehend the terror of the Great Void!”
Luo Wushuang glanced into her eyes before looking down and taunting, ”Little maiden doesn't know that my Dao heart is sincere to the point where I have no fears.”
Yun Chuxiu was angry.
The extremely daring Qin Mu had called her ”little maiden” before, but he was a Celestial Venerable and thus had the right to do so. This fellow Luo Wushuang also dared to look down on her and call her a little maiden!
However, she was a Celestial Empress and a Celestial Venerable, so she decided to be forgiving.
Qin Mu's eyes flashed, and his gaze landed on Luo Wushuang. Luo Wushuang sensed his gaze, snorted coldly, and plainly said, ”I won't kill you now. Once we arrive at the Great Void, I'll kill you. If you're scared, beg the little maiden to teach you Neither Thought nor No Thought.”
Qin Mu smiled and ignored him as he turned to size up the other youths on the boat.
These youths were of extraordinary origins, for they were disciples of Celestial Venerables and strong practitioners of the Emperor's Throne of vigorous cultivation.
He sized them all up and was secretly alarmed. Although there were a lot of young talents after Eternal Peace's reform, there were countless more young talents in the celestial heavens. Each one of them was extraordinary in their own right and very capable.
The celestial heavens ruled over tens of thousands of worlds and heavens, so it wouldn't be difficult to pluck out outstanding disciples from these worlds.
”Eh!”
Qin Mu's eyes lit up as he noticed a lady. That lady's appearance was extremely similar to the younger sister of Celestial Empress. He asked Yun Chuxiu naturally, ”Do you have a younger sister?”
Yun Chuxiu was perplexed and looked in the direction he was gazing at. Her eyebrows rose, and she coldly laughed.
She saw the lady too, who bore some resemblance to Mistress Yuanmu. It was just that she seemed young and was a beautiful young lady like her.
Yun Chuxiu approached that lady, and the cold smile on her face was replaced with a pure one as she stood by her side.
That girl saw her and was uncontrollably shocked. Their conversation seemed to make them happy, both of them smiling throughout.
Qin Mu curiously observed them. The girl's relationship with Yun Chuxiu piqued his interest.
Mistress Yuanmu died at the hands of Celestial Empress. She got rid of her and used her body to continue being Empress before becoming Jue Wuchen to trick and bring about the demise of Celestial Emperor.
Later on, Celestial Venerable Ling assassinated her by stabbing a hairpin in the back of her head. However, her primordial spirit left her body and escaped, which gave her a new lease on life as she became one of the ten Celestial Venerables by sneakily joining the Heaven Alliance.
Mistress Yuanmu's body was locked in the crystal coffin, which was in the hands of Qin Mu. This body was seemingly not vanquished, as after Qin Mu received the coffin, Mistress Yuanmu became reanimated and tried to hurt him. Wei Suifeng was the one who suppressed her.
Could this girl whose looks were similar to Celestial Empress and Yuanmu be Yuanmu reincarnated?
'Mother Earth died but wasn't vanquished. The Heaven Alliance, the ancient Celestial Emperor, and Celestial Venerable Hao failed to kill her off entirely. The ancient Celestial Emperor was like Mother Earth in this regard. Thus, did Mistress Yuanmu really die?'
Qin Mu smiled as he saw Yun Chuxiu walking towards him with that girl. He thought, 'This lady could very well be Mistress Yuanmu, but Mistress Yuanmu died in a very early era, during the latter parts of the Dragon Han Era. Therefore, she can't still be a divine arts practitioner. Then…'
The smile on his face grew denser as he thought, 'Could Mistress Yuanmu be part of the Heaven Alliance? Could she be a Celestial Venerable? The ten Celestial Venerables of the celestial heavens are becoming more and more interesting…'
Yun Chuxiu and that girl stopped in front of him, and Yun Chuxiu said with a smile, ”Celestial Venerable, I'll introduce a good sister to you. This is Lian Huahun, a disciple of Celestial Venerable Hao. She's very capable!”
Lian Huahun paid her respects, and Qin Mu smiled. ”Good sister, there's no need for such formalities, please rise. Every flower that blooms eventually withers, who will pity them when they do? Sister Huahun has a nice name and is beautiful too.”
He sincerely praised her.
Yun Chuxiu gave a cold humph.
Although Lian Huahun was beautiful, she paled in comparison to ladies whose bodies were created to be perfect like Jue Wuchen.
Although Yun Chuxiu's body was created according to the mold of Jue Wuchen, unexpectedly, Qin Mu never praised her, instead, praising Lian Huahun. It was clear that Celestial Venerable Mu's taste in beauty was problematic!
Lian Huahun rose, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, ”Celestial Venerable, you are outstanding and multi-talented for your oratorical skills to be so good.”
Yun Chuxiu coldly smiled. ”My name has a famous origin too, does Celestial Venerable Mu know about it?”
Qin Mu probed her, ”The water under the moon will always be clear, the clouds that emerge out of the mountains will always be light?”
Yun Chuxiu shook her head and replied, ”No.”
Lian Huahun gently bowed and said with a smile, ”The clouds have no intention of coming out of the mountains. In the human world, one's reputation exposes everything about oneself. Sister Yun's name likely means this. This body has no heart and is thus unrestrained. In the human world, one's name creates one's world.”
Yun Chuxiu clapped and laughed. ”It seems like it's Sister Lian that understands me! One pities the weak stem of the flower, which doesn't change in cold seasons. That jealousy towards the snow has already been blown away by the cold wind. Lian Huahun isn't talking about people's pity but about how the flowers can't coexist peacefully. The cold wind causes the flowers to wither early. Sister Lian Huahun is smart, unlike those dumb guys who look smart but are dumb.” As soon as she finished, she glanced at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu remained silent with bitterness.
These two girls were really close and hard to separate, calling each other sister in each sentence, how mushy.
