Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: A Smile that Erases Grudges
Mu Ze knew very well that Inkwest City is a Deity, his appearance should not change anymore. No matter how much ti passes, he should always be that young and handso big brother.
But now, he actually grew old. Although not as miserable and pitiful as Mu Ze, the white hair and the face full of wrinkles unmistakably spoke of his aging.
He is a Deity! How can he grow old?
Mu Ze’s bodily functions had almost completely degenerated, but his mind was very clear, and he quickly thought of the reason.
It was the Vitality Force.
His life span was originally only around two hundred years. It was Inkwest City who injected his own Vitality Force into Mu Ze, allowing him to live for three thousand years.
But extending life and defying destiny requires sacrificing greatly.
By injecting a large amount of Vitality Force into Mu Ze’s body, Inkwest City’s body was ultimately affected. He wasn’t willing to give up his powerful magic, so he could only sacrifice his ageless appearance.
However, in Inkwest City’s heart, this was nothing, anyway, Mu Ze was already old; what was so more aging to him?
Looking at Inkwest City’s pale, aged face, Mu Ze felt endless sadness in his heart.
Seeing Mu Ze’s dying appearance, Inkwest City hurriedly approached him, placing the tip of his index finger on Mu Ze’s forehead, injecting a bit of Vitality Force into his body.
Receiving Inkwest City’s Vitality Force, Mu Ze regained a bit of strength and hoarsely said, "Brother Xicheng, no need. I’ve lived long enough. Let
go!"
Inkwest City tightly pressed his lips together, fiercely snatched Mu Ze out of Mu Feng’s arms, stared into his eyes, and stubbornly said, "No, I haven’t died yet, and you shouldn’t think about dying either."
On the road from the castle to here, he thought he would still be angry, bla, and resent when he saw Mu Ze. But the mont their eyes t, all the anger, bla, and resentnt disappeared completely, leaving only nostalgia and reluctance in his heart.
"Brother Xicheng, do you still bla ?" Mu Ze lay in Inkwest City’s arms, his body unusually frail and light as a feather.
Inkwest City paused for a mont, slowly shook his head, and softly said, "Little Ze, it’s all in the past. The truth is, I never really blad you."
A long, long ti later, he finally realized that at that critical mont, perhaps Mu Ze just wanted to ask him to bypass Pu Lizi and had no intent to harm him.
The promise to his clansn to never see him again was probably just a delaying tactic.
It’s just that back then, when he was furious, Mu Ze’s actions for Pu Lizi were hard for him to accept, which led to the repeated misunderstandings thereafter.
The misunderstandings deepened, and eventually, they reached a point of no return.
Hearing Inkwest City say he never blad him, Mu Ze suddenly smiled, but on that old and distorted face, even the smile looked so strange and desolate.
Inkwest City was stunned for a mont but also smiled.
Two very old, old n looked at each other like this, and under the gradually setting sun, they smiled silently.
After a while, Mu Ze pleaded, "Brother Xicheng, I wronged you. I’ll accept any punishnt you give , but I can’t let the entire Mu Water Clan suffer with . Can you let the Azure Dragon Spring reappear?"
Inkwest City was slightly taken aback, silent.
Mu Ze thought Inkwest City was unwilling and plead again, "Brother Xicheng, I beg you, the Mu Water Clan is truly on the brink, I beg you to save them, I’ll agree to anything you ask."
Inkwest City replied bitterly, "Little Ze, I’m sorry, I can’t do it."
"Why?" Mu Ze looked at him dumbfounded.
Inkwest City sighed deeply, "I was too furious back then, impulsively shattered the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle that flowed the Azure Dragon Spring, and Kurosawa Highland has no water source anymore."
Mu Ze was stunned, looking at Inkwest City, speechless for a long ti.
For three thousand years, he constantly thought about restoring the water source, correcting his mistakes, and revitalizing the Mu Water Clan.
But now he knew, there was no hope anymore.
The Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle was shattered, the Azure Dragon Spring was gone, and without a water source, the Mu Water Clan could only linger in the arid desert.
As the Mu family’s magic level weakened generation by generation, there will eventually co a day when the Mu Water Clan faces extinction.
"So, the heavens really want to punish ." Mu Ze sighed hoarsely, his heart filled with boundless desolation.
Mu Feng, who had been at a distance, was equally helpless. He had hoped that seeing Inkwest City would resolve the Mu Water Clan’s water crisis, but he didn’t expect that the matter had been irreparable years ago.
Mu Ze lowered his head in dejection, the corner of his eye glimpsing Ye You and Qin Sisi sitting quietly nearby. His heart gave a sudden thud, he lifted his head and said loudly, "No, we still have hope! Ancestor, do you rember, the prophecy left by Pu Lizi’s grand elderly, that in a thousand years of suffering, a hero from the outside world, outsiders will beco the heroes who save the Mu Water Clan."
Mu Ze and Inkwest City both turned their heads to look at Mu Feng, and then slowly turned to look at Ye You and Qin Sisi.
Only the two of them were outsiders, and though Ye You’s magic power was indeed very strong, it was still impossible to continuously release a water source. What abilities do they have to save the Mu Water Clan?
Inkwest City was the first to deny Mu Feng’s statent: "The Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle is a treasure passed down from the Ancient Era, no one could possess such power."
The light of hope in Mu Ze’s eyes flickered a few tis and soon extinguished.
Two ordinary Magic Practitioners, no matter how strong their magic power, they could not exceed the Vastness Treasure.
Mu Ze was almost in complete despair. Perhaps this was the fate he had to face!
Mu Chi, Mu Xi, and Chen Pei, the three youths with relatively weak magic power, stood far off without participating in this conversation.
However, Mu Xi always felt grateful to Qin Sisi for defending her that day. In their subsequent interactions, she discovered that Qin Sisi’s Water Magic was extrely powerful and admired her more and more, gradually seeing Qin Sisi as an idol.
Seeing Inkwest City dismissing her idol at this mont stirred a few rebellious thoughts in her heart, uncontrollably she stepped forward, her voice clear and said, "You’ve never tried, how do you know they can’t do it? The first half of the prophecy has already co true, so the second half must also be true."
Fearless youth, Mu Chi and Chen Pei never liked Inkwest City, who caused the Mu Water Clan to fall into hardship, and hearing Mu Xi’s challenge, they quickly chid in support.
Inkwest City sneered coldly, looked at Mu Ze, and said, "Your descendants are truly brave!"
Mu Ze sighed and smiled, "Ignorance is fearless."
