Chapter 1183: Please Oblige Me
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Han Qingru, who previously treasured her looks even in the face of death, was currently curled up in a dim basement. Her face no longer had a clear patch of skin. Half of it was red while the other half was black. A good half of her eat was also missing.
Her two smooth hands which could be sullied by the gentlest breeze were currently black and coarse.
In front of her was a simple-looking fabric weaving machine. Beside her was a tall pile of black fur.
That black fur was exactly the same as the fur on those huge demonic beasts that were crashing against the city walls.
Han Qingru seemed like a puppet as she moved the levers on the machine and weaved the fur
The moment Mo Wuji landed in the basement, he smelt the intense odour. Clearly, this odour was from the fur.
”Senior Sister Qingru…” Mo Wuji charged forward with a single step and pulled Han Qingru up.
If he wasn't extremely familiar with Han Qingru, he wouldn't even be able to recognise her.
Han Qingru jolted and she raised her head blankly. Immediately, she saw Mo Wuji standing in front of her. The blankness in her eyes gradually split apart and two rows of tears started to flow out the corner of her eyes. After some time, she finally said, ”Wuji, how did you also end up here?”
In the decades that Han Qingru spent here, she was extremely clear that ending up here was no different from death for a cultivator.
Here, cultivators weren't able to circulate their immortal elemental energy, nor use their spiritual will. Even Immortal Emperors weren't excluded.
There was no need to talk about circulating elemental energy. Even if a healthy Immortal Emperor came here, he would still be an inferior existence. Any soldier here was stronger than an average Immortal Emperor.
The reason why she could last for so long was because she had intentionally disfigured herself and because she had trained her physique before. Back in Sword Prison, Mo Wuji had taught her about physique tempering. That was the asset that she used to survive here. Even so, she could only hide in this dim basement and spend her days weaving fur.
”Why do you have to weave this fur?” Mo Wuji grabbed Han Qingru's coarse hands. He felt very guilty. When he left Immortal World, he actually didn't ask about Han Qingru's whereabouts.
Han Qingru wanted to reach out for Mo Wuji's face and stroke it. However, when her hand was halfway there, she suddenly remembered her current appearance and she hurriedly lowered her hand and head guiltily.
”I came here willingly. I can only survive here by weaving this fur. If I didn't do this, I would have already been violated and live a life worse than death.” Han Qingru's voice was shaking slightly. She did not have many fond memories.
Ever since she started cultivating, she had always been struggling. If there must be a person that left her with fond memories, it would be Mo Wuji.
Since the Corner of Yong Ting, Mo Wuji had left behind an indelible mark in her heart. Mo Wuji was the one who saved her. Mo Wuji was the one who brought her to the Immortal World. Mo Wuji was the one who entered Sword Prison and carried her out. Mo Wuji was also the one who brought her to Ping Fan…
If not because Mo Wuji didn't like her, she definitely wouldn't have left Mo Wuji.
However, she soon realised something. Since Mo Wuji was also here, it meant that he was the same as her; he would not be able to leave.
She suddenly thought of something and a trace of fear flashed across her eyes. However, this fear quickly disappeared. When she raised her head again, her eyes had become incomparably clear.
Just as Mo Wuji wanted to bring out a pill for Han Qingru, he heard her soft voice, ”There's no need to say anything. Follow me in.”
Mo Wuji didn't know what Han Qingru wanted to do. But since he had found Han Qingru, then he definitely wouldn't allow her to continue staying here.
Han Qingru pulled Mo Wuji's hand. With a few steps, they reached the wall. After which, she spat out a drop of vital blood. A hole suddenly appeared in the wall.
Mo Wuji felt slightly guilty. He had been thinking so much about Han Qingru that he actually didn't notice this hidden array. He only saw it when Han Qingru pulled him over.
Han Qingru did not wait for Mo Wuji to speak as she extended her hand and pulled him in. Then, with a slap of her hand, that hole on the wall disappeared.
