Chapter 324: That Is Love (2/2)

Mo Wuji knew that Cen Shuyin had sped up the burning of her life and he didn’t continue persuading Cen Shuyin because he knew it was all too late to say anything. If he was able to survive this crisis, he would never let the True God Stage cultivator who tried to attack her from the back off, no matter who he was.

”My mother told me, if I want to marry someone one day, I cannot trust the other party’s sweet talks. I had to make sure how many things the person I’m marrying could give me…”

Mo Wuji kept silent because he knew that before Cen Shuyin started cultivating, she should be from the mortal world. When mortals got married, they naturally had to look at the betrothal gift.

”My mother said, if he was a prince, he had to at least make me his legitimate wife. If he was a businessman, he had to at least put half his assets under my name… I was young and clueless so I asked my mother, what if he was an ordinary person like my father?

My mother smiled mournfully and she said that my father would immediately not be an ordinary person anymore and he would immediately turn into a wealthy aristocrat. She suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed her own chest as I cried out for my mother. My mother used her hand to wipe my tears before saying: Yinyin, what I’ve just said was wrong. No matter who he was, if he couldn’t sacrifice his life for you when you needed help, you must not marry him no matter what he has. Remember to never marry such a person… If there was a person who was willing to sacrifice his life for you, remember well that when he needs help, you have to sacrifice your life too...That is love… If you’re not marrying the person, remember to never take advantage of a person, not even a little. Listen to your mother, your mother will be leaving now…”

Mo Wuji remained speechless because he had just heard a depressing, heart wrenching story. A man actually gave his wife away for honour and riches. His wife had a strong will to rather die than agree to such a dirty transaction. This is a true scumbag and this scumbag was actually Cen Shuyin’s father.

The reason Cen Shuyin was all along focused on cultivation and was never interested in a romantic relationship could perhaps be because of her own experience. As for Cen Shuyin’s habit of not taking advantage of people, was probably influenced by her mother too.

At this moment, Mo Wuji heard someone shouting from his back, ”They’re escaping to the Extreme Frost Sea, hurry up and block them…”

Extreme Frost Sea? Mo Wuji shivered as he had heard of this place before. It was a place similar to the Piercing Wind Gate, one of the Nine Extreme Realms.

Mo Wuji immediately understood why Cen Shuyin was willing to burn her life to increase the speed of the Wind Escape Technique. She had planned from the start to escape into the Extreme Frost Sea.

Mo Wuji scanned the surrounding using his spiritual will and instantly saw an eye-catching aperture shining brightly in front of himself. Before Mo Wuji could ask anything, Cen Shuyin had already brought him into the aperture. Following which, waves of bones piercing coldness spread across his entire body and in a split second, his flesh started to show scars.

This coldness was actually not any warmer than the coldness he experienced back when he was retrieving the Immeasurable Soul-forging Flower. Mo Wuji hurried to use his spiritual circulation technique but this didn’t stop his body from slowly tearing apart. He instantly sent his Scholar’s Heart into spiritual circulation and indeed, he could just barely withstand the extreme coldness.

Cen Shuyin was still running non-stop and Mo Wuji hurried to shout out, ”Senior apprentice Shuyin, you can stop for now.”

Mo Wuji was confident that even though Cen Shuyin possessed ice attributes spirit roots, she couldn’t hold on for any much longer in this coldness.

Cen Shuyin stopped but it wasn’t because Mo Wuji asked her to but because she fell down.

Mo Wuji flipped his body over and hugged Cen Shuyin so that his body’s warmth would be transferred over to her.

Cen Shuyin’s face turned pale and her hair had already turned white as she stared at Mo Wuji with her warm eyes, ”It’s okay, I know I’ve reached my limit. I also know that you definitely would have your way to survive here, I was indeed right…”

”Senior apprentice sister Shuyin, I will definitely save you…” Mo Wuji popped a few pills into Cen Shuyin’s mouth.

Cen Shuyin blocked his mouth just as he was about to continue speaking, ”...Wuji, actually, I didn’t listen to my mother and I took advantage of you… My flying car should never be worth your Lightning Flash and I was just lying to myself and everyone else… Also, it wasn’t my heartfelt truth when I said that you aren’t the Rogue Cultivator 2705 that day. I know that you are him…”

Mo Wuji looked at Cen Shuyin’s state and his heart felt horrible because whatever methods he used now, he would have no way of saving Cen Shuyin. Back then when Cen Shuyin said ‘You are not him’, he didn’t feel much but now that Cen Shuyin said ‘I know that you are him’, Mo Wuji’s heart felt like it was smashed broken.

That feeling of having a severely wounded heart was felt by Mo Wuji once again.

”...I know the relationship between Yan’Er and yourself. You are willing to risk your life to save your female servant and enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain when you’re only in the Channel Opening Stage… I knew from then that you and my father were two different types of people… when you knew that I had a lot of enemies in the Piercing Wind City… to risk your life to save me… you are the only one… you are the one my mother told me about, someone whom I liked so much I could sacrifice my life for…

However, I could only love one person because my heart is too small so I can’t and I won’t fight with another girl for a guy, regardless who he was...Now is good… I don’t have to go against my own will…”

”I really wanted to know how it feels to have a dao companion… My mother said, that is love… Wuji, is this true…” Cen Shuyin slowly reached out her hand to feel Mo Wuji’s cheek but before her hand could touch him, it fell to the ground. Following this, her head fell from Mo Wuji’s arms to the side, breathless.

Two teardrops fell from Mo Wuji’s eyes onto Cen Shuyin’s face and Mo Wuji’s heart turned cold. Compared to himself, Cen Shuyin was the one who led a miserable life and had never known how it felt to be loved.

He gently grabbed Cen Shuyin’s icy cold body and placed it on his face as he knew that Cen Shuyin had really fallen this time round. Even if the white bearded fishing elder were to be here, he might not be able to revive her again.
