Chapter 579: The Beauty of a Living World (1/2)
Xue Wei could not help but feel respect for Lan. Lan had been waiting patiently for more than ten thousand years to reunite with the love of his life, but after finding her and realizing that she had forgotten their time together, he did not try to force her to accept him.
When Xue Wei looked into his eyes, he could see that Lan was genuinely just wishing for the well-being of Mo Lian. To him, the most important reason to search for her for so many years was to make sure she was able to live a good life, and if she decided not to include him in it, then he would just accept it.
Many might consider this kind of decision, to step back and let her decide on her own, as weak, but Xue Wei found that he admired such a personality very much.
Lan was able to ignore what others thought and to let the one he loved free. This was true love, as he did not try to force her to stay by his side, but respected her own choices. It was clear that he did not view Mo Lian as a trophy, but as a life partner. Such respect was rare for many male cultivators, but it resonated with Xue Wei's own feelings for Wang Xiaoyun, so he could not help but respect this deity.
Xue Wei glanced at the area, and after enjoying the lush scenery once more, he slowly settled down and began cultivating. Since Lan had told him that his comrades would appear here, he was not in a hurry to rush and find them.
Especially since the branch leader and Mo Lian were already cultivating, focusing deeply on changing from being ghosts into becoming spirits.
The adaptation was not slow, but it would still take time for the two of them to fully adjust to the great changes between this world and the Ghost Realm.
The sun was moving up in the sky, dragging a red trail behind it as it slowly sank into the horizon, dying the clouds in an ethereal luster.
It was this beautiful and serene sight that greeted Mo Lian as she opened her eyes. Her beauty was overwhelming, and the ruthlessness formed through endless years of killing slowly evaporated from her soul.
Although Mo Lian was known as a true powerhouse within the Ghost Realm, and while everyone knew that she would kill without caring, she was not a mindless murderer who executed others for fun.
For the ghosts within the Ghost Realm, murder and cannibalism were the only ways to survive.
Now that they had escaped from their nightmare, they soon found that the world of the living was beautiful. While it was equally dangerous, it brought a lethal danger to these ghosts, and they were seduced the instant they laid eyes on all those vibrant colors.
