Chapter 24 (2/2)

“Therefore, trust is something rare at that place. However, if you are able to find it, it will be something that you will cherish for the rest of your life.”

Mu Chen quietly breathed out. His face looked gentle as he recalled the girl with silver hair. She was a crazy person that even he felt troubled about. During the half a year when she chased him, Mu Chen fought with her three times. He won twice, but for the last time, the girl reversed the situation and a black long sword, which was like a ghost in the night sky, stopped at his throat.

It was obvious that she won that time completely. She only needed to gently stab at him and he would have remained in the Spiritual Road forever.

However, she did not stab at him. In the darkness, her glass-like eyes stared at him for a long time. Then, she slowly retracted her sword and said in a low voice: “I won’t kill you. You should come with me.”

At that moment, Mu Chen was stunned for a while. Then, he asked the question he wanted to know since six months ago: “Why did you chase after me for so long? If I didn’t save you, you would have died a long time ago.”

When he first met her, she was caught in a dangerous situation. Five cunning crazy individuals wanted to kill her. Originally, Mu Chen did not plan on helping her, but maybe because those individuals were annoying or perhaps it was the sadness that appeared in her glass-like eyes, he gave in.

He saved her, yet he also got into trouble with the five of them. For a week after that, Mu Chen brought the injured her as they escaped. However, Mu Chen gradually defeated the five troublesome individuals in the following ten days after that. He killed three of them and the remaining two gave up.

But just when he finally got rid of the five troublesome individuals, he could not relax at all. The girl, who had never spoken a single word to him, pulled out her sword and pursued him for half a year.

When the girl heard Mu Chen’s question, she seemed to ponder for a moment. Then, she hesitated before he heard the answer, which nearly made Mu Chen puke out blood: “I don’t want to have a good opinion of you. I only wanted to focus on my training. If I have a favorable opinion of you, I will be distracted.”

“You’re crazy.”

At that moment, Mu Chen could not endure it and blurted out these words.

“Then, what are you doing now?” Mu Chen powerlessly asked.

“I planned on killing you before, but it feels like I can’t do it.”

The girl considered this seriously. Faint moonlight illuminated the beautiful face that would eventually cause a disaster. She frowned and said: “It feels that I still have a favorable opinion of you after these six months.”

Mu Chen wordlessly stared at the sky. They had hunted each other for half a year now, yet you actually say that you have a favorable opinion of me?

“I did not kill you just now, so you owe me your life. Therefore, you will form a team with me. I’ll kill you when I don’t have a favorable opinion of you.”

“Are you trying to raise a dog?”

“If I don’t kill you by then, I’ll let you go.”

Mu Chen shook his head helplessly. He turned around and said: “I’m not interested.”

“I can protect you from all the backstabs. As long as you do not harm me, I will protect you whether it is in the Spiritual Road or in the Great Thousand World.” The girl hesitated for a moment before she gently said towards Mu Chen, who turned around.

Mu Chen’s footsteps stopped. The girl’s gentle voice seemed to penetrate the space and directly hit his heart. It made his eyes become warmer.

“You usually do not speak, yet I never thought that it would be so touching when you do.”

Mu Chen turned around and smiled. He let out a sigh and he stretched out a hand towards her as he walked over.

“Then, let’s cooperate happily.”

The girl’s face, which always remained calm and emotionless, suddenly let out a faint smile. At that moment, her beauty actually made the moonlight lusterless.

Afterwards, she stretched out her cold hand and gently shook Mu Chen’s hand.

This is my promise to you.
