1109 Youre not my Lover! (1/2)
”Xiao Miao! I'm here!” Jun Mo Xie's body jolted as he grabbed her hand.
”Do not touch me! You're not worthy of this name, you liar!” Miao Xiao Miao shook his hand off forcefully and cleaned it on her clothes. Then she lowered her head and remained still, until her body stopped trembling.
She waited till she stopped trembling before taking two deep breaths.
Then, Miao Xiao Miao raised her head and looked at Jun Mo Xie. She smiled and said, ”Manor Lord Jun, didn't you want to explain? I'm listening to your explanation!” Her voice had turned extremely calm.
But this calmness was as still as death!
Jun Mo Xie felt his heart ache.
Miao Xiao Miao may look deathly pale and may be smiling, but there was a dull look in her eyes. With the current circumstances, no matter how he explained, she would not listen to any of it!
Jun Mo Xie sighed internally and only felt his heart ache.
”Xiao Miao, the situation was like this… since I started cultivating Xuan skills, I began to breakthrough at unimaginable speed, I was already a Saint Emperor within a few years time.” Jun Mo Xie knew that explaining was useless, but right now, he couldn't not explain himself.
As someone who led two lifetimes, he had never felt this guilty!
And had never felt that it was this difficult to say something.
”When one has significant cultivation, their longevity will naturally be prolonged. But Xiao Yi, Qing Han, and the rest always followed me devotedly! But there problem before us was that…”
Jun Mo Xie let out a long sigh. ”… I may still be able to maintain my appearance for hundreds and thousands of years without aging, and so can Xue Yan. But everyone else was destined to not be able to do so, because their cultivation would not reach that sort of level. Or rather to say, no one is capable of this. Xuan cultivation can only increase one's lifespan, but it is unable to maintain one's youthful appearance. Even if they cultivate to a Saint Emperor's level like us, they are still subjected to the mercy of time. This problem may not be an issue to us, men, but for women it is…
”Xue Yan and I am able to not age due to reasons…” Jun Mo Xie skimped on the details of this part. ”To a woman, if they see that their lover and their sister is able to keep their youthful appearance and never age while they have to age along with time, that is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing!
”I did not wish to see them getting hurt in the future and do not wish to lose them… they're my women, so I naturally will want to protect them to the greatest of my abilities!” Jun Mo Xie said. ”But there is only one way to resolve the aging of one's looks and boost one's cultivation greatly. That is to consume both the Exquisite Lotus and Seven Colored Holy Fruit at the same time!”
”Aside from this, there is no other way!”
”And so you set your mind on Heaven Saint Palace and Misty Illusory Manor? For your lovers?!” Miao Xiao Miao said apathetically.
”That is the case. In Chrysanthemum City, I battled with the three Holy Lands, and the stakes were the Exquisite Lotus! In the end, they lost, so I went to Heaven Saint Palace according to the bet and obtained the Exquisite Lotus. And you experienced the effects of the Exquisite Lotus I've cultivated earlier.
”As to the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, it was even more difficult to obtain. The first challenge was that I had no way to enter the Misty Illusory Manor. So… when I was in Chrysanthemum City, I left a hint of the Free and Natural Physique beforehand…”
”Then, you made us of your so-called 'Free and Natural Physique' to cheat Cao Guo Feng's trust! Then set up obstructions along the way so that they would do everything to bring you into Misty Illusory Manor…”
Miao Xiao Miao laughed coldly. ”Evil Monarch, truly a great scheme! Everyone is toyed in your palms! Before this, I've only heard of the saying 'to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another'. But Great Manor Lord, you have truly let this lass witness the true meaning of this saying!”
