Chapter 48 Reminiscing of the Pas (1/2)

How many had died in his hands? geniuses vanished without burials, Kingdoms ruined by simply offending him with the smallest of details.

”I don't want to return to the old way that I had walked before...”

Mo Xie spoke as he submerged his body in the wooden tub, due to his personality billions of years ago, the friends he had, Clan that supported his struggle decided to part with him.

Remembering the old times, where he, Mo Xie stepped at millions of corpses to get what he wanted.

The shouts of pleading, begging for mercy sounded in his ears, he couldn't even remember any of the faces of them.

Shout continued to echo in his mind;

'Please stop!'

'Spare my brother!'

'Please forgive me!'

'I didn't mean it!'

'I will change my ways from now on!'

'Pleeeaaaasseeeeeee!'

With the amount of blood that crossed his hands, it can even fill a dried world fully.

Holding his temples with his hands, he wished to turn back time; ”Bingyun...” A single word escaped his lips, a name of a female as a figure slowly showed in his mind.

He had already forgotten everyone through the passage of time, yet that single name didn't manage to escape his memory.

Remembering the cold yet charming lady's silhouette, her graceful moves, the aura she released that is too cold yet the warmth in her eyes betrayed her and couldn't hide her real personality.

The person that helped him through the thirty years that he was belittled by everyone, Bingyun, although they were at the same age, she knew a lot of things, teaching him martial arts, skills, how to cultivate, alchemy. But one day, that person suddenly vanished without a trace.

Mo Xie searched for that person, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do so, even when he reached the Celestial Phenomenon stage, the 'Peak' of cultivation, he didn't find any hint nor trace of her.

Peaking at each and every World that he can stretch his spiritual senses, yet, to his dismay, he found no clue about her, but he also had a single thought in it, only cultivators that reached the Celestial Phenomenon stage will have immortal life, she might've died through the passage of time.

Not being able to avoid a natural death.

”Bingyun... You've promised me one thing... When I become someone that can stand side by side with you... You will marry me... Have I done enough?”

Mo Xie is currently smiling, but deep within, his yearning for 'Bingyun' is too strong.

For 30 years that they were together, no matter how strong he became, he couldn't even touch a single hair of hers.

”The bodies that died in my hands in search for you... countless as the number of stars in the sky...”

Mo Xie sighed as he went out of the tub and got dressed. As soon as he finished, he immediately went back to Shang Ting and Aiqing's side.

Seeing Aiqing eating to non-stop, Mo Xie couldn't help but laugh: ”Good, good, you should eat to your fill.”

Mo Xie patted her head before taking a sit himself.

”Why are you not eating?” Mo Xie asked, the first thing he saw when coming here is Shang Ting's dampen mood, he already knew of the answer though.

”I'm... I'm not really in the mood to eat, I fell bloated already.” Shang Ting replied with an awkward smile on her lips.
