Chapter 932: Chapter 799: Almost Beca a Saint!
Ti was agonizingly slow.
Even in his ti spent on Prison Island, Chu Mu had not undergone such torturous tornt. This tornt wasn’t about controlling his own thoughts, but the intense irritability which nearly drove him to demonize and tear this monotonous scene to shreds!
Half a month had passed, both Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi had their thoughts, or rather, Chu Mu didn’t want anything to happen, and neither did Mu Qingyi. So, at one point they considered parting ways.
However, there was only one exit, parting ways would an one of them might end up walking in the completely opposite direction.
Walking alone in such a place would multiply the ntal pressure, possibly turning one into a complete madman.
Neither of them wanted to beco that madman, and in the end, they decided to maintain a distance while progressing forward.
Maintaining distance while moving forward wasn’t much different from walking alone. The only difference was when ntal endurance reached its limit, they could pause montarily, talk a little to the person behind, so that their spiritual world wouldn’t be awash with a death-like silence.
Of course, the ti spent together couldn’t be too long. If it was too long, no one could guarantee that they would be able to control the desires that would rapidly fill their minds.
“How long have we been here?” Chu Mu asked aloud.
“I stopped keeping track.” Mu Qingyi shook her head, her eyes watchful and sowhat lost as she looked at Chu Mu.
Those eyes were her disguise, the human spirit is such, the more you try to restrain it, the more vehently it bounces back. Mu Qingyi had encountered countless n, the ones pursuing her were eager to win her over, whether it was for resources, profit, or true feelings. However, when she was single-mindedly aiming for the path of cultivation, she had no ti to entertain such thoughts, so naturally, she could not consider those people.
However, this man, who had no connections with her in the past, had managed to gain her fondness in such a short amount of ti. Even speaking to him caused her heart to throb.
She knew that this was the result of her feelings for this man amplified by her humongous spirit. But that was absolutely not her true desire, so no matter what, she had to remain rational.
After speaking a few words, Mu Qingyi didn’t dare speak to Chu Mu any longer and hastily fled towards the direction in front of her on her Nine-Colored Luan.
Watching as Mu Qingyi distanced herself, Chu Mu couldn’t help but give a wry smile. There was nothing more absurd than this in the world.
He had lost count of the ti, but Chu Mu had a feeling that if Mu Qingyi ca near him one more ti, he wouldn’t be able to control his spirit any longer. If he continued to suppress and restrain himself like this, his spirit would ultimately collapse.
“Don’t co over here. Please, don’t co over.” A shred of rationality struggled within Chu Mu’s mind. Watching Mu Qingyi approach from afar, Chu Mu knew she was almost at her limit too.
Perhaps she didn’t approach him out of desire, but rely to rid herself of the despairing fear. But under these circumstances, whoever took a step forward would completely fall.
“I think we must go separately.” Mu Qingyi flew in front of Chu Mu’s face and spoke to him.
Chu Mu stayed silent, his head throbbed painfully.
Mu Qingyi froze, realizing Chu Mu was walking towards her. Those eyes of his made it difficult for her to shift her gaze, in this mundane world of the Ice Mirror that seed to be as dead as silence, those black pupils were too captivating. She couldn’t look away.
“Nevermind, stop struggling, let it be him. Let him be the man who will accompany for the rest of my life…” An encouraging voice floated inside Mu Qingyi’s mind.
She stiffly yet optimistically took a step forward, slowly reaching Chu Mu’s side.
Chu Mu stood there blankly. It seed that at this mont, a shred of rationality arose in his mind. His gaze awkwardly shifted from Mu Qingyi and landed on the deep claw marks under Mu Qingyi’s feet!
It seed Mu Qingyi did not notice at all, instead, she stepped over the claw mark, her soft body leaned into Chu Mu, her lips unexpectedly touching Chu Mu’s.
The heat from her seductive lips caused Chu Mu’s mind to blank montarily, as his hands subconsciously reached out to hold her.
It seed Mu Qingyi had already accepted that this promising man would be her companion in her cultivation journey and she did not restrain herself any further. Though she had never known what a kiss or embrace was, she didn’t need to know, at this mont, it was purely instinctual contact.
As a man, Chu Mu found this experience stimulating. Even though he had already seen the claw mark, but thinking of how there would be another two months before they could leave this place, and how he still couldn’t relax in those two months, that would be more unbearable than killing him…
In a world of snow and ice, void of any impurities, where heaven and earth reflected each other, creating an intoxicatingly beautiful cold world, it seed like a fla had ignited sowhere, the air was filled with Mu Qingyi’s intoxicating fragrance from her dicinal bath, along with her natural bodily scent.
Chu Mu’s body was filled with invigorating energy, he had never thought that a woman’s lips could be this soft.
This kiss was long, a kiss that made them forget everything…
However, when twilight fell, Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi almost simultaneously stretched out their hands, and with a force, pushed each other away!!
No one knew who bit whose tongue accidentally. Nonetheless, the taste of blood and pain during their intimate monts marshaled a bit of sanity in their minds, following which they struggled to push each other away!
Perhaps, if either of them made a move, they would still be inseparable.
Yet, neither of them took any action. Back to back, they took deep breaths, forcibly expelling all traces of desire from their minds.
Enduring hardship was a trial, and the allure of desire was an equally lethal one. Chu Mu didn’t want to play the hypocrite, but he needed to uphold his principles. What he was doing now was already overstepping those boundaries, so he could not indulge himself. Just like how he almost misused the mory Liquid on Qin’s spirit before — he couldn’t make that first mistake, and he definitely couldn’t let this kind of spiritual pressure defeat him!
“There are paw prints of the White Tiger under your feet. If we follow them in reverse, we should be able to leave this place.” After an unknown period, Chu Mu felt more clear-headed and finally spoke to Mu Qingyi.
Mu Qingyi nodded, not making ntion of their prior action, she said, “Let’s leave imdiately.”
…
Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi were lucky. The direction they chose was correct. They found the Qiankun Ice Gate in just about a month.
During this month, Chu Mu also had his share of struggles. He figured since they had already kissed, another wouldn’t be much of a problem. But those thoughts were fleeting and were promptly quashed.
Once they left the Ice Mirror World, the dreadful spiritual pressure lightened a great deal. Both let out an evident sigh of relief. They wouldn’t even consider returning to that damn place no matter how strong they might beco.
Naturally, it was impossible to eradicate the ntal shadows imdiately; they would need so ti to adjust.
“Chu Fangchen, have you ever thought about joining my Wanxiang Mansion?” Mu Qingyi asked.
“Um, I’m with the Soul Hall…” Chu Mu replied hesitantly.
“If you can step into the Dominator Level…” Mu Qingyi felt Chu Mu might not have understood her suggestion, so she added more context. However, the feeling of a racing heart prevented her from continuing.
Mu Qingyi always had a good feeling about Chu Mu, so even after leaving the Qiankun Ice Gate, she didn’t develop an intense aversion towards him. She still believed in destiny and fate.
If this man can step into the Dominator Level, their paths will cross quite frequently in the future. If that were the case, she could indeed consider developing so sort of relationship with him. But of course, that’s only a consideration at the mont…
“Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness…” Chu Mu understood Mu Qingyi’s implication and replied subtly.
Mu Qingyi furrowed her brows. She didn’t expect to get rejected by a man even after the queen of the Wanxiang Realm herself had extended such a suggestion. Were there really n in this world who would reject her?
“Do you have any issues with ?” Unable to hold back, Mu Qingyi asked.
As for issues, during their ti together, Chu Mu realized Mu Qingyi wasn’t as formidable as she seed in daily interactions. Towards those whose power paled in comparison to hers, like Chu Mu, her attitude was not so aloft that it was off-putting.
Or perhaps, Chu Mu’s perception of Mu Qingyi, one of the Twin Empresses of the Soul Covenant, had changed sowhat.
“I have soone I like.” Chu Mu felt he should clarify things to avoid any misunderstandings. There was no issue. However, liking and love were still far off.
As he uttered these words, Chu Mu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. He was practically a saint now, turning down insinuations from a goddess-like figure like Mu Qingyi!
Unfortunately, Chu Mu just didn’t comprehend the workings of a woman’s mind.
Until Chu Mu ntioned his affections for soone else, Mu Qingyi thought he was just trying to avoid committing himself due to differences in positions, status, or strength.
But once Chu Mu stated that he had soone he was fond of, it made Mu Qingyi quite uncomfortable!
Even a man would naturally develop comparisons and jealousy when the woman he fancies rejects him because of another man. This is even more so for won, especially for a woman of a Female War Goddess stature like Mu Qingyi, who had imasurable competitiveness!
Therefore, when Chu Mu disclosed that he had feelings for soone else, even though Mu Qingyi didn’t exactly feel jealous, she thought: Who is this woman? How could she be so formidable? Am I not as good as her?
“We need not dwell on what happened inside. Do you agree?” Even though she was feeling a bit bothered, Mu Qingyi wasn’t the type to stoop low and compete over petty matters.
In any case, Mu Qingyi had expressed her feelings. It was Chu Fangchen’s prerogative to accept or reject her. From now on, their paths would diverge. To erase an initially intriguing man from her mind wasn’t a hard task for a strict and disciplined woman like Mu Qingyi.
At least, that’s what she thought…
(Here is the third chapter~~~~~~~ Many readers might be disappointed, and many conservatives might protest. Dear readers, Fish didn’t an to please everyone. These outcos are the most true to the characters’ natures. Chu Mu’s journey of cultivation is long, and he will et many won. As for who will accompany him till the end… it’s hard to say…)(
