Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 03 Where Will This Love End Up
Mo Yi gently pushed the door open, but instantly discovered something strange in the room.
The cold moonlight poured in from the living room window, lightly sprinkling on the woman who was curled up on the sofa like a kitten with her long hair spread out, her back to him.
As if she didn't hear the sound of him opening the door, she didn't seem disturbed at all. She just looked up at the stars outside the window silently, without turning back or saying a word.
She just curled up there quietly, as if immersed in her own world.
Mo Yi did not speak either. He just walked silently in front of her. Under the faint moonlight, Mo Yi finally saw the cold and jade-like expression on her slightly upturned face.
It was for him that Yao Ji cursed herself and paid the price of physical annihilation. Even after being reincarnated as a human five hundred years later, she was still bound by the curse.
He didn't know who owed whom in this life between him and Yao Ji, or who loved whom more.
He always thought that Yao Ji owed him an explanation, but now he realized that she didn't need to explain at all. After all, he owed her more.
Five hundred years ago, I didn't have the courage to stop my people's ambitions because of her, but she paid the price of her life for him.
That woman gave him her unconditional devotion and absolute love. It would be a lie to say that Mo Yi was not moved at all.
The pretty face as big as a palm, the delicate willow-shaped eyebrows, the slightly upturned lips, and the equally stubborn personality, all these clearly show her identity.
The love for the woman from five hundred years ago and the pity for the woman in front of him that had been dormant in his heart for many years surged towards Mo Yi like a tide, and on such a cold night, it unexpectedly tore open Mo Yi's defenses that he thought were as hard as a rock.
He knew that Gong Lili had already regained most of Yao Ji's memories and powers. Although he had previously said that she was just Gong Lili and not Yao Ji, at this moment, he could no longer regard them as two people. Yao Ji's body had been annihilated and she had fallen into reincarnation again. It was impossible for two identical people to exist in the world again. This was an ironclad fact, and he could no longer deceive himself.
So, he wanted to hug the woman in front of him tightly in his arms. He wanted to ask her why she was so stupid back then, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back quietly, because the woman in front of him was, after all, a little different from the past.
But what exactly was the difference? He knew it in his heart, but he didn't dare and was unwilling to think about it too deeply, so he tried hard to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.
As if she felt Mo Yi's breathing suddenly become turbid and heavy, Ping Lili, who had been hugging her knees and thinking about something, turned her head indifferently and looked up at Mo Yi with her clear golden-brown eyes.
In fact, she woke up as soon as Mo Yi left. Although she didn't know what Mo Yi was going to do by sneaking out like that, she probably had a bad feeling in her heart.
Then she got up quietly, sat here alone looking at the moonlight and thinking seriously for a long time. She thought a lot, everything in the dream, everything before, connecting them one by one, she seemed to vaguely understand Mo Yi's position , his sudden move, his deliberate concealment and the unknown thoughts in his heart.
Logically, she should hate him, hate his deception and exploitation, and perhaps she should turn around and leave this place.
But, for some reason, she did not do anything extreme, and she even did not feel any resentment towards him.
“No matter what some people do, whether they deceive you or hurt you, you can’t hate them, because in your heart, all you can remember are their good points.”
When she first met him, he protected her without hesitation. When she was injured, he applied ointment for her gently and caringly, and helped her calm the anxiety in her heart. He even did little things for her silently during the past few days they spent together.
Everything was clearly imprinted in Pinglili's heart. At this moment, Pinglili felt that she seemed to be able to vaguely understand Wei Shucheng's foolish feelings for the Ruoye woman. As for Mo Yi, perhaps she could not hate him no matter what.
Even if he had deceived her and was using her, even if the person he loved was actually Yao Ji and had nothing to do with her. However, her feelings for him were so clear in her heart that she was willing to go on regardless of the cost or consequences, even if the road ahead was full of thorns.
So, she decided to fulfill his wish and give Yao Ji a chance. If Yao Ji really had the ability to lift the curse, then giving this body to her would not seem completely unacceptable.
Of course, this is the worst plan. In fact, Ping Lili has also selfishly calculated it in her heart, or rather, she made a bet with herself, Yao Ji, and fate, betting on whether she can change her fate, betting on whether she can snatch Mo Yi from Yao Ji with her own strength.
Competing with one's past self for a lover seemed to be an interesting and absurd thing, but it made Ping Lili find the direction she should work towards in an instant, or in other words, it made her no longer confused.
So, Ying Lili bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, and spoke quietly. The words she said almost made Mo Yi's reason collapse in an instant. He almost thought that Ying Lili was following him and heard his conversation with Zhuo Wei: "Take me to the Void Realm. No matter what the final outcome is, whether the curse can be lifted or I am annihilated again, since this is my destiny, I don't want to escape anymore."
She spoke lightly, her eyes clear as water, but in her bright eyes there was an unshakable stubbornness and determination.
Mo Yi's body stiffened slightly, and her head felt dizzy. She finally knew it! Everything that she had deliberately concealed and planned could not be hidden from her.
The woman's intelligence exceeded his expectations.
However, what he never expected was that although she knew the ignominious role she played, she accepted it so calmly and even took the initiative to ask to go back to the Void World. Originally, Mo Yi was still struggling in his heart on how to persuade or how to trick her into going back to the Void World with him, but she took the initiative to bring it up, saving himself a lot of trouble.
Why? Why would she do this?
Mo Yi stared at the pair of golden-brown eyes in front of him, trying to find some answers from them, but all he saw in those eyes was himself, the self that even he himself despised.
Being as smart as Mo Yi, he naturally understood the other person's feelings for him instantly.
But why, at this moment, there is no pleasure in his heart, only pity, deep pity for this woman, for these pure eyes. This woman, the woman in front of him named Ying Lili, is like Yao Ji five hundred years ago. She knows him, understands him, pities him and cherishes him. Even though she knows that he is deceiving her and using her, she is still so frank to him, without any regrets.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of Yao Ji with sadness in his heart. He seemed to be able to imagine what kind of resolute mood Yao Ji was in when she cursed herself.
What this woman did, whether it was five hundred years ago or five hundred years later, deeply moved him, but also made him feel confused and at a loss.
Now he knew what Ping Lili felt, but what confused him was, what about himself? What could he give her in return? Perhaps, all he could bring her was endless harm and more danger.
At that moment, Mo Yi even wanted to give up the idea of taking her back to the Void World. Perhaps, it would be good to protect her for the rest of her life in this world. At least, he would not push her into the abyss of no return. Mo Yi knew in his heart what kind of future would be waiting for her if he took her back to the Void World...
The Shamo people will not give up, and her own people will not let her go, and there are even more unimaginable dangers waiting for her...
Maybe her ending will be more miserable than Yao Ji's, maybe he will have to watch himself lose her again.
She is so beautiful, sometimes pure as white paper, and sometimes strong as iron.
Could he accept this feeling? Or in other words, was he qualified? At this moment, Mo Yi felt as if a huge wave was rolling and crashing into his heart...
He opened his mouth to say something, but was speechless. He looked down at Ying Lili's determined gaze and the resolute expression on her face, and sighed deeply, finally letting his reason be drowned in the surging torrent of emotions.
Without any warning, he leaned over and hugged her in his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her soft, slightly open lips.
It was not until his hot thin lips touched her soft cherry lips that Ying Lili's momentarily dazed brain came back to her senses. She subconsciously shrank her body back, but a pair of strong hands suddenly grabbed the back of her head and pulled her back.
The overbearing force that could not be rejected forced her lips to press against his once again, but this time he did not let her escape.
The moment their warm lips touched, he sucked them fiercely, as if they had been suppressed for a long time. He domineeringly absorbed the fragrance of her lips. The wild breath surging in her chest mixed with her breathing . Her consciousness was defeated in an instant. She finally gave up the futile struggle and closed her eyes subconsciously.
His kiss was sometimes as gentle as water, just a gentle lick; sometimes it was as passionate as fire, sucking and licking, and even made her lips numb.
Now, Peng Lili's lungs and heart were filled with Mo Yi's alluring scent.
As if to make up for the damage done over the past five hundred years, Mo Yi's kiss was deep, shallow, and continuous.
Just now it was just a light touch, but suddenly it turned into a violent storm. He went deeper and deeper, demanding more. The tip of his tongue kept teasing Pinglili, tempting her to respond to him.
Ping Lili opened her eyes slightly in a daze, but suddenly fell into Mo Yi's eyes. His black eyes were also slightly open at this time, but as deep and unfathomable as midnight, intertwining with her golden-brown eyes without any avoidance. The flickering flame in his eyes seemed to melt Ping Lili bit by bit.
As if in response to his enthusiasm, when Mo Yi let go of her lips lovingly to take a breath, Ping Lili couldn't help but kiss his lips again. When she tried to imitate his gentle kiss, he suddenly smiled teasingly, grabbed her delicate lips again, and used his domineering and tenderness to rub her lips.
After a long time, Mo Yi panted and let go of Pinglili's cherry lips again.
Ping Lili felt relieved at this moment, and breathed in the fresh air greedily and recklessly, but her body became a little stiff in an instant, because Mo Yi didn't seem to intend to let her go so easily.
His panting became heavier and heavier, and his kiss slowly began to move down, kissing her small chin, gradually moving to her neck, and then all the way down like a dragonfly skimming the water to her collarbone exposed to the air, while his hands also moved restlessly on her body. Yinglili could feel that her cotton dress was instantly pulled down to her waist by him...
An intense tingling sensation quickly spread throughout Ping Lili's body like an electric current, causing her to tremble slightly in Mo Yi's arms.
"Who do you want, Yinglili or Yaoji?"
