Chapter 2309: Side Story (5) Mu Si

The first time I saw her, it was when I had been beaten badly by Zhang Shuo.

These people always beat me, and each time they beat me, it was only when my bones feel as if they were about to break then they’d leave. After this had been happening for a long time did I find the way to minimize damage to the body.

This time, I thought I would be beaten until I had to lie in bed for a few days again before they relent for a while. Like usual, I fell to the ground, curled up and held my head with both hands.

At this moment, I saw a pair of bright eyes. Those eyes were as beautiful as the stars in the sky, and I was stunned momentarily.

Zhang Shuo and the others found her and wanted to kill her and another person, but they didn’t think that although she looked weak and meek but she was so strong that she knocked all of them down and even killed their spirit beasts. She pushed Zhang Shuo into a desperate situation, and never would I have imagine I’d see the day where Zhang Shuo begged someone. He was in a sorry state and begging her desperately to spare his life.

Listening to his humbled and miserable tone, I thought back of each time he beat me, thought back of them cursing and insulting my Father and when they were not paying attention, I took out a small dagger hidden in my arms and stabbed Zhang Shuo with it straight into the heart.

Later, she asked for my name, and I wanted to tell her, but the reason in me told me to ignore these people, so I turned around and walked away. How would I have known that I would faint after walking two steps.

By the time I woke up again, I was on the back of her servant, who was carrying me and wanted to take me to the inn. How could they possibly find an inn? There were no inns in Ghost City. So, I took them back to Father’s house.

The house was very shabby and I thought that she would dislike it, but I didn’t expect her to be calm, as if walking in a fairyland on earth.

So, when she asked for my name this time, I told her.

Mu Si, my name is Mu Si. My name was given to me by my Father, but I haven’t seen him for many years.

Later, she exposed Uncle Yang Zhi’s hypocrisy, but I already knew it from long ago. There was no need for her to expose it. It was just that without him, I wouldn’t be able to survive.

I was hungry, she cooked something for me to eat. She made something so delicious that I had never tasted before, and at that time I thought, how can there be such an amazing person in the world? She didn’t even blink her eyes when she killed people, but she spoke to me in such a gentle and pleasant voice, and she even cooked such delicious food. Whoever marries her in the future will definitely be very happy and blessed.

Later, she told me that she was just like me, and that her Father was not by her side, and I learned that the Father she was looking for was actually that person.

I wanted to tell her not to go, it was too dangerous, but seeing her bright eyes and confidence, I couldn’t say anything.

She knew that my Father was looking for her Father, and said she wanted to help me find him. However, she brought back the news of my Father’s death.

She said that Wu Man saw my Father’s death personally, hence she asked me if I would like to leave here with her.

Leave Ghost City?

I never thought about this question before. I’ve lived in a Ghost City for as long as I can remember. This place my Father’s home and was filled with memories of him.

She said that if I followed her, she would take care of me. If I chose to stay, she would let Si Yue take care of me. She will not stay here.

Thinking of her leaving, my heart was inexplicably irritable, and without even thinking about it, I said I wanted to leave with her.

My Father was gone, so I no longer had a home. She was the only person who treats me so warmly, so why not follow her out of here?

So, after she rescued her Father, I followed her out of the Ghost City and went to the outside world. Although people outside are very repulsive of Dark Spirit Masters, but with her around, I am not afraid of anything.

She accepted me as her disciple, and I changed the way to address her as Master. In fact, she didn’t know. Every time I called her Master, my heart ached. However, as long as I can stay by her side, it doesn’t matter what identity it was.

She likes Brother Lingyu, and Brother Lingyu likes her. No one can get involved in their mutual feelings.

As long as I can protect her, I should be satisfied.

In the battle of Sage Pavilion, she exploded and died. When I saw Wu Lingyu coming back with a lifeless body, I was stunned. There was only one thought in my mind, if she died, what is there in this world for me to live for?

Fortunately, she wasn’t really dead, they rescued her, and her soul went to the Ghost Realm.

I know that Brother Lingyu went to Ghost Realm with her, and I wanted to go too, but I don’t have the strength. So I guarded her body and took good care of her body. I massaged her limbs and turned her body every day, so that when she came back, she would not find her body stiff or had any rashes.

I will tell her that my strength has improved again, tell her how much I miss her and how much I like her, and only in this secret room can I tell her my deepest thoughts.

Later, her soul came back, but because she was injured in the Ghost Realm, she was still sleeping after returning. I don’t know if she’ll hear me, so I don’t dare to tell her what I’m thinking, but I can say other things, tell her what’s going on in the family, etc.

As long as I can talk to her, I feel happy.

However, this happiness was also interrupted.

I was taken away and left Sima’s Manor quietly. I was shocked when my captor took off the mask. There was also anger.

Xuan Qiu He, how could the person who caught me be Xuan Qiu He? How sad would she be if she found out?

However, he ignored my anger and threw me to a few strong people. From then on, I started an inhuman life.

They took me to many places, and they told me to find some ancient sacred fire order. They tortured me in various ways on the road, but they didn’t let me die. They made me kill a lot of people, many innocent people, some were former insiders, some were just because they offended them, and many were just because they wanted to see me kill.

For more than ten years, I thought I would not be able to endure it, but I managed to endure it. I was guilty and I should have confessed, but I shamelessly survived. Because only if I was alive that I would have the chance to see her again. Especially hearing that she was looking for me everywhere when she woke up made me feel like it was worth living.

When I saw her again, she had been awake for two years. Seeing her standing in front of me vividly and thinking of who I was now, I suddenly panicked. I wanted to call her Master, but after trying for a long time, I still couldn’t call her.

She said: I’m sorry, Master is late.

I shook my head, my eyes were wet. She feels very guilty towards me, but how can I blame her for this?

She gave them the ancient sacred fire order without hesitation. She didn’t even think about this kind of thing, but she was angry that they wanted to take me away.

She was very strong, and in the end she kept me. I should be happy, but I’m not who I used to be. And she no longer was whom she used to be.

She had her hair tied up in the style that married women do.

That’s good, how can someone like me, someone so abhorrent as me, guard her like before?

She came over, reached out and touched my head as before, and called my name with distress clearly reflected in her eyes: “Mu Si.”

She was very apologetic and felt that she should not have taken me out of the Ghost City, that she should not have failed to protect me, that it took her so long to find me, that I should have gone through so many things and suffered so much.

I felt that my heart was flustered, I couldn’t make her sad! So I smiled at her and said, “Master, it’s alright, I’m fine.”

I’m really alright. As long as she’s doing well, it doesn’t matter what I’ve been through. As long as I can see her doing well, I’m fine.

However, I made her cry. She said she wanted to treat me with acupuncture, which I refused, so that she wouldn’t see my broken body and wouldn’t cry. I told her that these were injuries were from the past, and they no longer hurt.

The only thing that can hurt me is her tears. But I didn’t say that.

Later, Hades took her to the Underworld and took me with her. That person named Huan took me to recuperate and said that he would not take me to training until I was in good shape. When I was still conditioning my body, I heard that she gave birth to a pair of twins. It turned out that Hades brought her to the Underworld to raise children.

Standing outside her courtyard, I saw Brother Lingyu crying with joy with the two children. I should have gone to see her, but my feet were rooted and I couldn’t go any further.

I found time later to see the two children, reached out and touched their hands, Xiao Dao grabbed my finger and giggled. That soft feeling, that crisp laughter, made my heart that had been hurting for so many years suddenly no longer hurt.

But I don’t know how I should go in the future. I don’t know what else can I expect in the future?

I went to find Huan and asked him to take me to the training grounds. He said that this place was comparable to hell on earth, and I can’t come out if I don’t meet the standards after entering.

I laughed when I heard his words, and then walked in without hesitation. I want to tell him that I have been in hell for a long time.

Maybe, when I get out of here, I can climb out of the hell in my heart.

Maybe...
