Chapter 1151: Her Name Was Xia Ruoyin (2/2)

Mo Wuji's heart sank. He was sure that Ji Li definitely had something that she didn't want to tell him. However, he didn't know how he could get Ji Li to speak.

Time slowly passed. Ji Li finally struggled to stand up. Her face was still slightly pale and her dao aura was clearly unstable.

”Senior Sister Ji Li…” Mo Wuji uttered as he let go of Ji Li.

Ji Li looked at Mo Wuji for some time. Then, she smiled gently, ”Wuji, do you remember the words that I previously said to you? Ultimately, I need to depend on myself. If I always stay by your side, I would forever be unable to grow. After I leave, you need to take care of yourself.”

After saying this, Ji Li turned and stepped out of Mo Wuji's flying ship. In an instant, she disappeared into the vast space.

Mo Wuji stared blankly at the direction that Ji Li disappeared in. He sank into silence. His dao aura started to get chaotic again. It seemed as though he was going to fall back into that previous state.

No, there seems to be a problem. The primordial spirit within Mo Wuji's sea of consciousness trembled and formed countless hand seals. Mo Wuji re-opened his eyes.

This time, even if he was any more foolish, Mo Wuji knew that there was a problem with him. He did not hesitate to charge out of the flying ship and move in the direction that Ji Li disappeared in.

…

Ji Li's speed wasn't very fast. Not long after she left the ship, her mind slipped back into a state of blankness.

It was unknown how long she travelled in space for. By the time she stopped, she found that she was in front of a huge spatial tear.

During this period of time, she was repeatedly asking herself a single question: Why was she still living?

Perhaps, this spatial tear was supposed to be her final resting place.

As she thought of this, Ji Li's eyes suddenly turned clear. She lifted her head, looked into the distant space and smiled. That smile was like pure sunlight; it caused the haziness in space to disperse.

At this instant, she no longer thought about anything else. A new lease of life appeared in life. She was no longer able to endure the silent and lonely years of cultivation, all so that she could raise her cultivation level like a puppet.

She finally lifted her feet and stepped into the spatial tear.

When Mo Wuji's spiritual will found Ji Li, Ji Li's feet had just stepped into the spatial tear.

Mo Wuji was frightened out of his wits. He hurriedly activated his Earth Shrinking to its full power. Mo Wuji seemed to enter the spatial tear at the same time as Ji Li, then he hurriedly pulled Ji Li into his embrace.

”Pff! Pff! Pff!” The shredding force within the spatial tear swept over. Although Mo Wuji had a Sage Physique, he was unable to resist damage from spatial tears of this level.

By the time he whipped out his Book of Luo, countless scars had already been slashed out on his body. His robes seemed to be entirely decimated by the spatial blades.

It was fortunate that he had the Book of Luo. Otherwise, perhaps he would have been slashed in half. He also didn't dare to enter his Mortal World. At this moment, his Mortal World was not fully perfected. If his Mortal World was torn apart by these terrifying spatial tears, then not only would he not prevent his death, he would die along with his world.

”Wuji, you…” Ji Li noticed the fresh blood throughout Mo Wuji's body and she was stunned. She only regained her senses when Mo Wuji whipped out the Book of Luo. If Mo Wuji hadn't protected her, she would already have been torn into pieces within this spatial tear.

Now, Mo Wuji was the one that was almost torn into pieces with scars all over his body. His clothes had been fragmented and bloodied. All this was because of her. Ji Li's heart was filled with guilt and distress.

”Senior Sister Ji Li, although I don't know what was the reason, you should tell me. Otherwise, I would forever be unable to forgive myself.” Mo Wuji's tone was slow and pained.

No matter what, Ji Li only became like this because of his slap.

Ji Li opened her mouth. She could sense that Mo Wuji wasn't blindly speaking. She could also hear that every word that Mo Wuji uttered was sincere.

She hesitated. She extended her hand and tried to stroke Mo Wuji's face. She wanted to wipe away the blood that was on his face. However, Mo Wuji grabbed her hand. There was no hatred in his eyes. Instead, there was only a sense of gentleness and elation.

Mo Wuji was indeed elated. If he had been later, Ji Li would have already disappeared from this world.

”Bang!” The spatial tear suddenly disappeared. Due to the intense revolving force from the spatial tear, Mo Wuji and Ji Li crashed into a murky-black ground, forming a huge crater.

Ji Li was protected by Mo Wuji, so she didn't suffer any damage.

”Sorry, Wuji. It was because I saw hatred in your eyes, I was worried that I might be affecting your Dao if I continued to stay with you.” Ji Li said with melancholy. She recalled the scene where Mo Wuji's dao ripples went into disarray and turned unstable.

In addition to the hatred she saw in Mo Wuji's eyes, she believed that staying together with Mo Wuji might only harm him. In the future, she might cause Mo Wuji's soul to be damaged and have no hope of reincarnation. Regardless of the reason why Mo Wuji hated her, she did not wish to affect Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji came to a realisation. Ji Li had seen the hatred that he felt towards Xia Ruoyin.

He subconsciously tightened his embrace. He did not climb up from the crater but turned up to look at the sky. His voice seemed to come from the corner of the sky, ”Senior Sister Ji Li, I used to live in a mortal world called Earth. There, I was devoted to the study of drugs. At the same time, I had a girlfriend. Her name was Xia Ruoyin…”
