Chapter 496: Help Me Marry A Woman (2/2)
”Wait wait!” The moment the fallen cultivator saw Mo Wuji leaving, he beckoned for Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji stopped and said, ”Your injuries are very serious. The pills I have would be completely useless on you, so asking me to wait would not be able to save you.”
The cultivator shook his head, ”I’m not asking for you to save me; I also know that I’m going to die soon. Even if the Immortal Emperor was here, he wouldn’t be able to save me. Not only are my sea of consciousness and spirit channels damaged, my primordial spirit is also starting to collaspe. I only want to ask you for some help…”
Seeing Mo Wuji frown, this cultivator hurriedly explained, ”I have something here. See if it’s useful to you. If it is, you can take it…”
As he spoke, this cultivator struggled to take out a jade box.
Mo Wuji extended his arm and the jade box landed in his palm. He opened the jade box and found that there was only an ancient map within it; the map was slightly blurred and only a few rough locations could be seen.
This thing was completely useless to him. Just as Mo Wuji was about to throw this map back to this fallen cultivator, he suddenly noticed a bead drawn on the bottom corner of the map, and there were even three words written below it - Wood Elemental Bead.
”This is a map that shows previous locations of the Wood Elemental Bead… If it’s useful to you, then help me with something. If it isn’t, then, then…” This cultivator seemed to want to say ‘forget it’, but his matter seemed very important to him, so he wasn’t able to utter those words.
Mo Wuji carefully placed the map back into the jade box and said, ”You’re not afraid that I will take this map and leave?”
A trail of blood seeped out of the corner of this cultivator’s mouth; he struggled to laugh, ”You shouldn’t be that kind of person. If you were such a person, you would have just killed me and taken my storage ring away.”
”This map is useful to me. Tell me, what do you want my help with.” Mo Wuji kept the jade box, and at the same time, he took out an imaging crystal ball.
If not for this fella’s severe injuries, to the point where his primordial spirit was collapsing, Mo Wuji would have tried to save him.
”My name is Yan Ye, my grandfather, Yan Qi, is the patriarch of the Yan Clan. My grandfather has seven sons, and my father, Yan Yechang, is the eldest son. My mother…”
Mo Wuji cut off Yan Ye’s words, ”Dao Friend Yan, I suggest that you tell me directly what you need help with. Don’t waste your tieme like this. Even if you don’t tell me about your family situation, I would still help you. The premise is, it must be within my means. If I’m unable to do, there’s nothing I can do, no matter what you say.”
To Mo Wuji, as long as he had the ability to do it, he would definitely help with this promise. But if he was unable to do it, even if this Yan Ye spoke with extravagant embellishments, he would simply remain aloof.
”I know.” Yan Ye’s voice had gotten weaker, ”I want you to use my identity, to go to the Yan Clan for three months. After the three months, you can go anywhere you like…
Mo Wuji startled, impersonate Yan Ye? He immediately thought of his current identity; he didn’t really have a specific identity, so he should be able to do this.
As Yan Ye saw Mo Wuji remain silent, he continued, ”After leaving this Lifeless Secret Domain, I will be marrying Ji Clan’s proud daughter, Ji Yue. I just need your help with this matter…”
The moment Mo Wuji heard Yan Ye’s words, he immediately knew that this matter was impossible, ”Sorry, I’m truly unable to help you with this matter. It’s okay for me to impersonate you, but I can’t marry that Ji whatever on your behalf. But if there’s anything else, just say it. Oh right, this is the Lifeless Secret Domain? How did this secret domain appear, and how long? And when can I get out?”
When Yan Ye heard the front part of Mo Wuji’s reply, he did not find anything out of the ordinary. However, the moment he heard the later part, he was momentarily stunned. This Mo Wuji didn’t even know the name of this secret domain, how did he manage to enter?
”Oh, I came from somewhere else, and I accidentally entered this place.” Mo Wuji did not bother lying to Yan Ye. Since the other party was dying, there was no way this fella could expose his secret.
”That’s even better. You can leave while borrowing my identity. Without an identity token, you would undoubtedly die…” As Yan Ye spoke, he pointed to his storage ring, ”My identity token is in here.”
”Many thanks, but I’m still unable to help you,” Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said sincerely.
Yan Ye hurriedly said, ”I’m not asking you to truly marry Ji Yue, I just need you to help her. With this method, she would be able to leave the Ji Clan. Once she marries into the Yan Clan, she can leave by herself.”
Seeing the warmth and love in Yan Ye’s eyes, Mo Wuji came to a realisation. This thing called ‘feelings’ was a simple thing; this fella liked Ji Yue, so he was willing to get used by Ji Yue. Using this method, he would help Ji Yue leave the Ji Clan, then he would let Ji Yue go.
”The Ji Clan owes my father a clan-saving favour. I used this favour to ask for Ji Yue’s hand in marriage, the Ji Clan had to agree…” Yan Ye stopped and started to pant heavily.
Mo Wuji knew that a clan-saving favour was; it was the debt of gratitude when one saved an entire clan. For such a favour, there was no need to talk about a simple woman, even if he asked for more, the Ji Clan would still oblige.
He grabbed a few pills and sent them into Yan Ye’s mouth. As he waited for Yan Ye to catch his breath, he said, ”You used your father’s clan-saving favour, just to help a woman?”
Yan Ye sighed, ”My parents are no longer here. My situation is rather complicated, and it’s hard to explain.
Mo Wuji suddenly felt that he had fallen into a huge quagmire. His mind instantly cleared up, he stared at Yan Ye and said, ”Yan Ye, tell me honestly. That cultivator killed by you, wasn’t able to injure you so heavily, right? Much less damage your sea of consciousness, and collapse your primordial spirit? If you continue to lie to me, I will leave immediately.”
