"Never would I have imagined it was more than that."
"..." Wang Mu.
COUGH, COUGH.
In the ga, actually, there weren't many interactions between the various female leads.
As an antagonist, Mu Hongyuan wouldn't likely have anything to do with most of the righteous female leads.
In the end, there were only those few left on the field.
"Token of love, you must have prepared quite a few back then, right?"
"..." Wang Mu.
He really did prepare quite a few...
The ga's token of love actually required the player to craft it themselves based on the preference of the female lead. It wasn't just any object that could beco a token of love. To achieve the Love Saint ending, Wang Mu naturally had prepared many things. Tokens of love could greatly increase favorability; so could even trigger special CGs. Basically, one needed a thorough understanding of each female lead.
"The token is but a sign that fate has arrived," Wang Mu said. "How could one prepare in advance? I am not clairvoyant. If there's no fate, the token won't appear in your hands."
Anyway, don't ask; the answer is it's predestined.
Mu Hongyuan sneered with a frown, "Many years later, Brother Mu, are you still as good at sophistry as before? So, repairing Yan Qingwu's Green Frost Sword was also destined?"
"..." Wang Mu.
Indeed, this matter couldn't be avoided.
Ugh, if it hadn't been for that Qingshuang Sword Spirit leading up there, I might not have been exposed so quickly... A misstep indeed!
"What else could it be?" Wang Mu retorted.
"..." Mu Hongyuan.
Her brows suddenly arched, and she offered a flirtatious smile, "Brother Mu, are you so sure I won't kill you?"
Her smile was flirty, but there was a hint of malice between her brows.
"Whether you kill or not, here I am," Wang Mu said. "What can I, a little cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Realm, do?"
Mu Hongyuan's cold gaze swept over him, and she was about to raise her hand.
At this mont, Wang Mu added, "However, if you could, hand the Unrivaled Bell over to . I would do my best to repair it for you."
Mu Hongyuan paused.
"Who asked you to repair it?" she said.
She might have said that, but she didn't make a move.
Seeing this, Wang Mu thought to himself, So it is.
It wasn't just that Yan Qingwu's Green Frost Sword had been repaired first that bothered her, but also that her own Unrivaled Bell was broken.
"With your ager strength, you think you can repair my Unrivaled Bell?" Mu Hongyuan scoffed coldly.
"Yes, my strength may be insufficient, but I have the heart to repair it," Wang Mu said.
"..."
"Heart?" Mu Hongyuan laughed heartily. "Since we're on the subject, then I'd like to ask: your abandoning for a thousand years wasn't by choice, I can understand that. It wasn't voluntary. So let ask you!"
As she spoke, Mu Hongyuan's voice suddenly turned icy.
"Then why did you choose to sever these emotions?"
"You cut off these emotions, yet you claim it's not abandonnt?"
"Our separation for these thousand years was not by your will. But these emotions, they were severed by your own hand! What more do you have to say?"
"..." Wang Mu.
She stepped forward, one step at a ti.
Her palm clenched.
The phantom of an ancient Demon Blade appeared in her hand.
Wang Mu saw it clearly; it was the phantom of the Shadow Hong Saber. After a thousand years of cultivation with the Shadow Hong Saber, it seed she had gained so control over the blade.
Just like how Yan Qingwu had once pointed her sword at him.
The difference now was that Wang Mu suspected Mu Hongyuan might truly cut him down with one strike.
Her resolve wasn't sothing to be taken lightly.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Mu slowly said,
"Actually, I'd like to ask you sothing."
"?" Mu Hongyuan.
Ask what?
"What do you an?" Mu Hongyuan asked coldly.
"Your cultivation of the Great Yin Yang Record..." Wang Mu recalled the appearance of Gu Witch and the scenes he had previously witnessed of Mu Hongyuan in the Refining Emotion Cave. "The Great Yin Yang Record you originally created contains a Heartless Map, which follows the path of severing emotions, a heartless path."
"Later, you stopped cultivating it, yet it remained within the Great Yin Yang Record."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Heartless Map was cultivated by your disciple, wasn't it?"
Wang Mu looked at her and calmly asked,
"So, why did you create this Heartless Map in the first place? Does it an that even back then, you were thinking of severing these emotions?"
"Therefore, the one who wanted to sever these emotions wasn't , but you yourself."
"..." Mu Hongyuan.
Her breathing grew heavy, and her expression changed.
"I didn't! I absolutely didn't..."
"Yes, you an to say you never cultivated it... You ended up cultivating the Harmonization Map. But creating the Heartless Map implies you had the intention," Wang Mu said. "Ultimately, you considered the path of heartless dao seeking as your final resort, didn't you?"
"..." Mu Hongyuan.
Silence.
Wang Mu said no more.
The implication was clear: See, you did this yourself, so you can't bla .
"And then what?" Mu Hongyuan said indifferently. "Even if everything you've said is true, the fact remains that I didn't do it. Yet you chose to sever your emotions. You even seduced my disciple before cutting off those feelings."
"A thousand years have passed. Your appearance has changed, your cultivation has changed, but this talent of yours for attracting unwanted attention hasn't changed one bit."
Speaking of which, Mu Hongyuan's face turned ashen. "Forget about , but you also corrupted my disciple! How should we settle this account? How many tis over do you deserve to die for this?"
"..." Wang Mu.
She's too formidable.
He couldn't win a verbal spar against Mu Hongyuan.
"Don't tell it wasn't of your own volition," Mu Hongyuan's voice rose sharply. "Predestined by fate, right? Predestined for you to attract all this attention, right? Then, if I decide to kill you today, is that also predestined by fate?!"
Such sound logic! Wang Mu couldn't help but marvel.
