Wang Mu gazed at Moonlight Hut, his eyes showing no sign of retreat. He would charge in without hesitation if Mu Hongyuan dared to release the seal.
"You!" Mu Hongyuan's voice wavered noticeably. "Being so fickle is truly your nature!"
Despite her words, she did not undo the seal.
Seeing this, Wang Mu shook his head and turned to leave.
"You plan to leave just like that?" Mu Hongyuan asked.
"What else?" Wang Mu paused. "What more do you want?"
"What more do I want?" Mu Hongyuan's tone suddenly softened. She paused, and after a long silence, said, "Then go... and don't co back."
Wang Mu turned to look at her. "If there's anything else you want to do, just say it. My cultivation is limited, but I'll do what I can."
In the ga, Mu Hongyuan's support for him had been substantial. This was mainly due to her strong influence and her knowledge of nurous antagonists. Following the Love Saint Route, with information from Mu Hongyuan, he could accomplish many things that would otherwise be impossible. Moreover, pursuing other female leads also required Mu Hongyuan's informational assistance.
Of course, that was from the perspective of a player with a god's-eye view, not the protagonist, so Mu Hongyuan wouldn't have known these things in the ga.
Her Shura Demon Palace spanned most of Jianghu, giving her access to information from nurous places almost instantly. In terms of influence among the female leads in the ga, Mu Hongyuan ranked second. This, coupled with her rcurial and difficult-to-predict nature, might also be why she was the hardest to pursue.
Even now, facing her, Wang Mu found it hard to completely understand her innermost thoughts.
Besides, the Unrivaled Bell is fixed now, so her cultivation should proceed without further issues...
Of course, Wang Mu wasn't completely clear on the cultivation of an Ascension Realm expert. The gap between their realms was too vast.
Since he hadn't reached that level, his knowledge was limited. For instance, with Miss You, apart from knowing about her curse, Wang Mu was unaware of her other circumstances. However, he knew Miss You possessed the Emperor Spirit Pearl. This artifact could temporarily delay and suppress her curse, buying her ti to grow stronger. He hoped that one day he could help her completely lift the curse, allowing her to achieve Ascension and beco an Immortal.
After a while, Mu Hongyuan's voice beca much quieter. "Have you forgotten the promise you made back then..."
"The promise I made back then..." Wang Mu was stunned.
Could she be referring to wandering Jianghu together? No, that was so many years ago; it's aningless now, isn't it? Besides, as an Ascension Realm expert who has lived for thousands of years, what places are there left for you to explore on the Nine Provinces Continent? You've been everywhere, haven't you? Surely you're not going to travel with a re Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator like , right?
Wang Mu couldn't comprehend it, nor could he be certain.
"Are you referring to..."
"What do you think?" Mu Hongyuan replied, her tone even.
Wang Mu fell silent, growing more puzzled about what Mu Hongyuan was really thinking.
She wasn't like Miss You, capable of sweetness and tenderness, but...
"What should I do?" Wang Mu asked.
"Do what you promised to do," Mu Hongyuan replied indifferently.
"What's the point of that?" Wang Mu frowned. "Neither of us is the person we were back then... Besides, in today's world, with your status, where can't you go?"
"Is that sothing you should be concerned about?"
"..."
Apparently not.
"Alright." Wang Mu nodded. "Tell , where do you want to go?"
"Naturally, we'll start from Huangtian Continent," Mu Hongyuan said. "Once you've fulfilled your promise, I'll consider your debt of affection repaid. You can go wherever you want; I won't stop you. We'll make a clean break, neither of us owing the other anything."
"Even if you truly wish to be with my disciple, I won't stand in your way any longer."
"..."
"Now?"
"Right now."
Wang Mu's scalp prickled slightly. He had to admit, he felt a bit disoriented. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
"Additionally, since you know the Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations, assu the appearance of Dongfang Mu," Mu Hongyuan added. "Wait for at the entrance to Fengyue Valley. I need to prepare..."
Wang Mu nodded. Regardless, since he didn't understand what Mu Hongyuan was thinking, he decided to just go along with her wishes. Seeing her like this, she seed serious. If this could truly resolve things, that would be good.
Assu the appearance of Dongfang Mu... Wang Mu looked at himself, thinking, I already look like Dongfang Mu, just not the youthful version. When I t Mu Hongyuan, I was in my early youth, a greenhorn just starting out. By the ti we shared drinks at the Demon Palace, I was already a young man.
Exiting Fengyue House, he went to the Fengyue Valley main hall and bid farewell to several Elders. He had initially wanted to inquire about the Sword Sect disciples. However, on second thought, since Mu Hongyuan was nearby, it was better to just ask her directly.
"Young Master Mu, it seems you haven't ford a favorable bond with Little Gu?" The Great Elder sounded sowhat regretful. This young man was so promising; although there was a considerable gap between his and Little Gu's realm, his future potential was boundless.
Wang Mu shook his head.
The Great Elder activated the Big Formation of Fengyue Valley, allowing Wang Mu to leave.
More than a month had passed since the Divine Pond Love Trial. It seed quite a few Fengyue Sect disciples had found desirable Taoist couples. Not a large number, perhaps, but it was sufficient.
Outside the valley, many pairs of n and won were setting out from Fengyue Valley, embarking on their journeys together. According to the rules of the Fengyue Sect, if a couple traveled together and recorded their journey with a Water Shadow Talisman, they could officially join the Fengyue Sect as Taoist couples upon their return, provided their affection had deepened.
