Chapter 4123
Unfortunately, Yue Ming Xin didn't want to listen to Xiao Hua's explanation. He continued to talk to himself, "Xiao Hua, I know your cultivation base is profound. After my senior martial brother and I reported your matter, even the patriarch's eyes shined with splendor. He wanted to rope you in to become an elder of our Fragrant Religion!
He even hinted to me … that I must pass this information to you.
But … I … I … I don't know how to tell you.
I know my cultivation is shallow and I'm only a junior in front of you. I'm … I'm not worthy of a great hero like you. But my heart is sincere and even the moon beast of the moon palace recognizes it!
I … I just want to be by your side, even if I can only look at your back … I want to see everything about you, whether it's Ao Xiaoxu or your name that shook the cultivation world. I just want to see your figure and be proud of you … "
"Alas, Miss Yue …" Xiao Hua sighed. He clearly remembered that Xue Xue had said the same thing in the past.
He opened his mouth and said, "You don't understand. What you said, what you thought … can't be considered true love. It's just a kind of longing, a natural closeness to the strong.
It's easy for anyone to have this.
Maybe after a long time, you'll really understand … "
"You're wrong!
Xiao Hua! "
Yue Mingxin interrupted Xiao Hua without hesitation and retorted, "You're not a woman. You don't understand a woman's heart!
You also don't know how women think!
We women understand much more than men when it comes to worship and love a person!
Maybe I have more longing for the elders of my Fragrant Religion, but … how can I have the same longing for them as you!
You don't even know that women hate you. But where is this hatred?
Where does this hatred come from?
There's no such thing as love for no reason. This hatred … can only come from love. A woman can't hate a man who doesn't have any love for her!
Even this man doesn't exist in a woman's eyes. "
"Maybe!"
Xiao Hua couldn't convince Yue Mingxin, so he could only look at the bright moon outside the bamboo pavilion and say, "Now that it's come to this, I think … this old man should also tell you my story, my experience, and even my thoughts on that day …"
Women were naturally curious and Yue Mingxin was no exception. Thus, Xiao Hua briefly told the story of himself and Xue Xue. Finally, he said, "I believe you understand, Miss Yue. Of course, I'm not thinking of you!
What I was thinking of that day was my lover!
That was for my dead lover!
I used an Eon's worth of accumulation, just … to hold her hand!
I'd rather go through an entire Eon to truly fulfill my dream of seeing her!
However, it wasn't her, it was you!
This … perhaps this is what they call a freak combination of circumstances? "
"One calamity, one calamity …" Yue Ming Xin was obviously a little dazed. Her face was flushed, and she was almost moaning, "If someone is willing to miss me for one calamity, I … I don't care even if I'm smashed into pieces.
How fortunate was that girl named Xue Xue?
How can I have no regrets?
Even in the Nine Underworlds … there's an infatuated man who'd rather give up his life and use an eon's worth of longing to hold her hand!
If it was me, I'd rather take his place.
Even if I can't fall into the Nine Underworlds, I'd be willing to fall into the bottom of the Sea River … "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Hua rebuked, "Why are you acting crazy?"
"Xiao Hua, are you … worried about me?" Yue Mingxin asked.
Xiao Hua smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he continued, "The feelings of two people depend on fate. Don't the people of the secular world have a saying?
Fated to meet thousands of miles apart, fated to meet, fated not to meet?
Actually, Miss Yue, you and I … really don't have any fate! "
Speaking up to here, Xiao Hua sighed, "The people of the secular world all think like this. We Daoist cultivators easily live for hundreds of years and even thousands of years. We have even more opportunities to find our own fate.
Sigh, however, how can a person's fate be judged only by time?
If we're not fated, even if ten thousand years … how can we meet again? "
Speaking up to here, Xiao Hua couldn't help but think of Fairy Hong Xia from Dawn Rain Continent. However, because of some grudges, the two of them had been separated for tens of thousands of years. Although Xue Xue had fallen, her soul was in the Yin side of space. Xiao Hua could see her from time to time. Although Fairy Hong Xia was still alive, she was far from Yin and Yang. Xiao Hua sighed again, "Sigh, perhaps … it's better to forget each other in the pugilistic world than to help each other in times of need."
Yue Mingxin smiled bitterly. However, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Hua, I know your love for Xue Xue. I also deeply sympathize with her experience and admire her sacrifice!
However, even if it's me … I can also do it!
The so-called 'it's better to forget each other in the pugilistic world than to help each other in times of need', I really don't understand. I'd rather stay by your side and not 'forget each other in the pugilistic world'. "
"Miss Yue, you … are still young. Perhaps in the future when you have experience, you'll understand!"
Xiao Hua couldn't explain his thoughts. He took out the essence and said, "Now, you should replenish the essence that you owe.
This essence is very important to you. It's also very crucial to your dao heart.
The Heavenly Devil's Dance overturned the mortal world. Although you weren't directly injured by the Heavenly Devil, when this old man borrowed your essence, perhaps the Heavenly Devil's Dance had already taken advantage of the situation. Not only were you injured, your dao foundation was also damaged.
If you don't replenish it in time and don't repair your dao heart in the future, you … may encounter the tribulation of the mortal world!
Especially when your cultivation is somewhat damaged, it's even more likely to happen. "
"Xiao Hua …" Yue Mingxin stared at Xiao Hua, as if she wanted to imprint Xiao Hua's appearance into her heart. She said word by word, "Take back that essence!
I don't need it!
Since I've already paid, I don't want to take it back!
I … also don't want to take back what I've paid!
I'd rather you owe me. I'd rather my essence be in your body. I … I'd rather you owe me a lifetime.
In the future, perhaps thousands of years, perhaps tens of thousands of years, perhaps I'll turn into nothingness, perhaps I'll fall into the nine underworlds. When you think of all of this, when you think of everything that happened today, you … will think of me. You'll think of a pitiful woman who's willing to show you … everything she has.
If I take this so-called essence, perhaps your karma will be severed. In the future, you'll never think of the woman you met in the ruins!!!
The woman who will think of you for who knows how many years in the future! "
Looking at this stubborn woman, Xiao Hua was somewhat speechless. He didn't know how to explain it to her!
After all, this was the ruins, not the Hidden Immortal Continent. In the Hidden Immortal Continent, he provoked Fairy Jing and Xin Xin.
Fairy Jing drank the Forgotten Love Water for him, and Xin Xin was the princess of the immortal palace. He didn't know how to deal with her.
How could he provoke a little woman who fell in love with him at first sight in the upper realm's ruins?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua took back his essence and said seriously, "Lady Yue, this old man won't say anything unnecessary.
After all, life and time are the best teachers. In the future, you'll understand what this old man said today.
Moreover, in the future, you'll inevitably meet a man who's more suitable for you. You'll also inevitably have an even more unforgettable love. You'll also have a true life, a true love!
Forget about me, I'm just an outsider. In the end, I'll return to my own world, and won't leave a trace … in the ruins! "
"How can it be that easy!"
Yue Mingxin's eyes flashed with determination as she replied, "Xiao Hua, love is a seed that has already been planted. How can it disappear?
Perhaps it'll never sprout, so let it ferment forever!
Let this love dissipate in the night sky with the Moon God's favor … "
Saying this, Yue Mingxin took out a veil from her spatial ring and covered her head. She looked up at the round moon that was as bright as a mirror. Her gaze was so sad.
"Lady Yue, you … why are you doing this?" Looking at Yue Mingxin's veil, Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat.
"You have your persistence, I have my principles!"
Yue Mingxin indifferently replied, "Perhaps one day, when the knot in my heart is gone, I'll remove this veil!
I'll face this world once again … "
"Ai …" Xiao Hua sighed again. He knew that he had hurt a girl's heart and even changed her life. However, he knew that he had done the right thing. It was better to have a short pain than a long pain. This was a kind of rebirth pain for Yue Mingxin, but it was also a kind of relief for him.
"Lady Yue, I'll send you back to the Fragrance Order!" Xiao Hua looked at the moon that was gradually setting and asked in disappointment.
"No need!"
Yue Mingxin slightly shook her head, "You only need to tell me where this place is, and I'll take the transmission array back to the Fragrance Order."
"This place …" Xiao Hua stuttered, "I don't know where this is!
Now that the Devil Race is rampant, I'll personally send you back! "
"You've just recovered from your injuries, it's better for you to cultivate here!"
Yue Mingxin indifferently replied, "If I'm not wrong, this should be the Coiling Dragon Mountain of the Ruins, which is the so-called Soaring Dragon Mountain Range of the newly risen Fortune Gate.
There's a transmission array for Soft Sound Palace nearby, I'll go back myself!
Who knows how many people died in the war between Daoists and Devils. I'm just an ordinary female cultivator, the Devil Race might not put me in their eyes! "
"Fine …" Xiao Hua was speechless, then said, "Do as you wish …"
"Do you hate me that much?" Yue Mingxin asked again, "You can't tolerate me staying here for a few more hours?"
"No, no …" Xiao Hua hurriedly denied, "Even if Lady Yue doesn't leave, this old man won't say anything!"
Yue Mingxin looked at Xiao Hua and sighed, "Xiao Hua, you're obviously so approachable, why are you so heartless towards me?"
Xiao Hua was speechless.
Yue Mingxin didn't seem to ask for an answer. She walked to the side of the bamboo pavilion and looked up at the moon. Her gaze followed the moon as it gradually set. When the first rays of dawn rose, the east was about to break, and the three suns jumped out of the horizon, Yue Mingxin turned her head and said, "Daoist Xiao, this junior will take her leave!"
