Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 89 From now on, we will always be together
Ping Lili has been confused and immersed in endless regret and self-blame these past few days, and has completely forgotten the world in front of her.
Even the person's call from behind did not bring her back to her senses, until her body suddenly felt lighter and she felt as if she had suddenly left the ground, and then she realized something was wrong.
She looked up in panic, and met a pair of eyes that were just as bloodshot and haggard as hers.
"I've only been away for a few days, and you've reduced yourself to this state?!" He roared at her in his arms without any mercy, "Look at what you've become now! You're neither human nor ghost! What's the point of torturing yourself to death? They're dead, all dead. Can you bring them back to life by torturing yourself?"
"Get lost! I don't want you to interfere! What I do is my own business!" She was immediately annoyed. The depression that had been suppressed in her heart for many days suddenly burst out like a flood. She roared at him, "I just like to torture myself. I'm a masochist. So what?! I just don't want to make things easy for myself! I just want to atone for my sins by torturing myself. So what?!"
As she spoke, she struggled hard in his arms, trying to push him away, but found that his arms were holding her tightly like iron clamps, and she couldn't push them away no matter what. She was so angry and embarrassed that she simply clenched her fists and hit him hard.
Mo Yi didn't even frown, nor did he try to stop her. He just looked at her coldly with a frown, "I'm telling you, Gong Lili, stop being so self-righteous! Do you think they appreciate your self-punishment? Do you think they'd be happy to see you abandoning yourself like this in the underworld?! If Wu Su knew that the person he risked his life to save ended up in this state, he'd probably regret it so much that he'd jump out of his grave and slap you!"
"He wanted to save Yao Ji, not me! He must have hated me to death in the underworld. Why wasn't I the one who died?" Ying Lili roared hysterically, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Gong Lili, are you really confused or just pretending?! Do you think Wu Su is really that stupid?! He doesn't know the little tricks you played? Do you think he really didn't realize you were pretending to be Yao Ji to deceive him?! He just doesn't want to expose you!" Perhaps because he was very angry at Gong Lili, Mo Yi actually revealed the secret that Wu Su had been hiding for a long time without holding back: "He just wants you to live and live well. Who the hell are you doing this to?!"
"What he hopes is that Yao Ji is alive! Not me, Gong Lili! It's me, I'm useless, I'm a loser! This is just my character! Do you understand? Do you recognize it? Can you please leave me alone?!" Gong Lili was also extremely angry, and his words became even more outspoken.
Mo Yi gradually narrowed his eyes, and traces of coldness poured out from his eyes. One could even see the blue veins on his forehead. Suddenly, a violent spiritual pressure enveloped the surrounding area. To be able to make Mo Yi so angry, one had to say that Gong Lili was indeed very capable.
But the people around him were not in the mood to admire her at this moment. Yan Zheng and others were terrified at this moment, fearing that he would lose control and strangle Gong Lili to death.
They wanted to dissuade them, but no one dared to approach the Thunder God and Thunder Goddess. Yan Zheng finally mustered up the courage to step forward and act as a peacemaker, but was stopped by Yan Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, this is called fighting fire with fire. They'll be fine once they vent their anger."
Yan Zheng looked at Yan Xiaoxiao with doubt, his eyes still showing worry. Yan Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said, "He values her more than his own life, so how could he hurt her?"
After saying that, she nodded towards Mo Yi's back. Yan Zheng followed her gaze and was stunned. After a long while, he turned his head away thoughtfully, as if he understood something.
Meanwhile, Gong Lili, who was still sulking, was unyielding, as if she wouldn't stop until she'd pissed Mo Yi off to death. She kept testing Mo Yi's patience until Mo Yi finally lost his patience and mercilessly threw her in front of Wu Su's tomb. His once handsome face was almost twisted with anger. He pointed at Wu Su's tombstone and said, "Alright, you're a loser, so you'll be completely ruined! Go ahead and crash into him! If you're brave enough, crash into him and die right here. If you die, I'll accompany you. At worst, I'll destroy my own soul and go to hell with you!"
When these words were spoken, not only Ying Lili was stunned, but Yan Zheng and others were also stunned. Ze Ze blinked and grinned, ready to rush forward to play the trick of self-torture, but was stopped by Yan Zheng. Yan Zheng gritted his teeth, turned around and dismissed everyone. He believed in Mo Yi. Just like Yan Xiaoxiao said, Mo Yi loved her so much, how could he hurt her.
The arrogant Yanlili, who had been so arrogant just now, was immediately deflated by Mo Yi's provocation. Although she had a hurdle in her heart, she never seemed to have considered dying with them. Deep down, Yanlili was actually a person who was very afraid of death. She just had a pent-up anger in her heart that she couldn't dispel or vent, and it was uncomfortable. But now, under Mo Yi's aggressive pressure, her previous words and actions seemed very hypocritical.
After suddenly realizing her own hypocrisy, Yinglili's momentum weakened a lot. Mo Yi gradually leaned over, hugged her tightly in his arms, and sighed deeply: "Let the past be the past. Don't keep suppressing it in your heart and make yourself upset."
She swallowed hard, buried her head in Mo Yi's arms, and murmured to herself softly: "But I was the one who killed them all. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..." She choked, but couldn't say anything.
"That's not your fault. Everyone has their own destiny. It's their fate and has nothing to do with you." His tightly furrowed brow gradually relaxed. His cool fingertips gently wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes. A kiss as light as falling flowers was imprinted on her brow. His voice was filled with pity. "Lili, you tried your best. You've done very well. Don't blame yourself anymore, okay?"
She suddenly remembered something, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mo Yi, don't you blame me? Yao Ji..."
He seemed to know what she wanted to say. He knocked her head hard and interrupted her without any hesitation: "For me, the fact that you are still alive is the best ending... As for other people, I can't care so much."
Tears welled up in her eyes and she wanted to say something else, but he bent his head, his warm forehead touching hers tightly, his deep eyes filled with unbreakable tenderness: "No matter what happens, you still have me."
You and I...
Just such a simple sentence made Yinglili burst into tears again.
This is what it feels like to depend on each other, right?
The hedgehog, which had been sharp at first, finally relaxed gradually and retracted its inverted cold spikes. It seemed that it felt that Gong Lili in its arms had finally calmed down. Mo Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a huge rock in his heart had fallen to the ground. After Gong Lili gradually calmed down, he realized that something was wrong with Mo Yi in front of him. There was a strong smell of blood and hostility on his body.
Her originally stagnant brain suddenly remembered another important question: where had he been these days?
She suddenly raised her head and looked at him carefully. At this moment, a hideous bloodstain on his neck caught her eye. Some speculation suddenly emerged in her mind. She subconsciously grabbed the collar of his chest and tore it open with trembling hands. Sure enough, as she expected, several narrow and ugly bloodstains pierced his chest, spreading from the neck to the waist, like bright red blood snakes, which shocked her.
Thinking of how she had just punched him without any restraint, Ying Lili now wished she could slap herself to death, because the wound that had originally healed had opened again and was gradually oozing blood. Was he just trying to comfort her while enduring the pain?
Ying Lili suddenly felt her whole body trembling. She pushed Mo Yi away gently with trembling hands, only to find that Mo Yi's body was covered in blood, as if he had just been soaked in a sea of blood.
"What on earth did you do?!" She suddenly reached out and touched his face, asking in a trembling voice. There were probably not many people in this world who could cause Mo Yi to suffer such serious injuries. What on earth had he done in the past few days?
"I dealt with some private matters of the Nayu tribe." He brushed it off lightly, but he didn't mention a word about how much blood and hardship were hidden behind that calm sentence.
At this moment, a Nether Butterfly suddenly flew into Yan Zheng's hand. After reading the message from the Nether Butterfly, Yan Zheng's expression instantly became extremely horrified. He mechanically repeated the message he had just received: "It is said that the Nayu clan, which disappeared from the Void Nether Realm for five hundred years, was reborn overnight. Under the leadership of their new clan leader, they swept across the Void Nether Realm, breaking through Kongming in the west and reaching Ruoye in the south. However, they spared Sha Mo, who was once Nayu's lifelong enemy."
At this point, he paused slightly. "Also, it's rumored that the new clan leader is a martial arts master. He killed Yan Zhu, the clan leader of the Kongming clan, in Licheng. Overnight, the Kongming clan completely disappeared from the Xuming Realm. It took only one day to drive the Ruoye clan out of Mingsha City. Within three days, the Nayu clan replaced the Kongming clan and firmly occupied the northwest corner of the Xuming Realm, forming a new three-way balance of power with Ruoye and me, Sha Mo..."
Yan Zheng finally understood what Mo Yi had been doing during the few days he had disappeared, and he also finally understood where his blood and scars came from. However, what a horrible thing this was! No matter what, Yan Zheng really didn't dare to associate the cold-blooded, powerful new leader of the Nayu tribe mentioned in the message brought by the Nether Butterfly with the affectionate man in front of him.
"It's you?!"
Mo Yi remained silent, but his deep gaze explained everything.
"Why..." In Yinglili's impression, Mo Yi was not a man with great ambitions.
"This is the result of father's final compromise, and it is also the price for the tribe to give up Sha Mo. They want Na Yu's revival, and I will fulfill their wish, but in return, they must stop spying on Sha Mo." Mo Yi closed his eyes slightly and rested his head gently on her shoulder. The bloody battles in recent days had exhausted him to the extreme. After completing the agreement with his father, he rushed back without stopping because he was worried about her. He had not closed his eyes for several days.
"Why did it come to this..." She choked, as if she suddenly understood what he had said to her when he left the Shamo Temple that day: "Don't worry, I won't let you lose anything you cherish again. This Shamo, no one can touch it, not even my father or my people! Leave the rest to me."
That day, after Yao Ji's soul was destroyed, he gritted his teeth and threw down these words, then left her and left quickly. She had originally resented him in her heart, but now , she finally understood the meaning of his words that day.
He was using his own way, the most powerful and resolute way to protect her and her beloved Sha Mo...
"I said, I won't let you lose anything you cherish again!" Under the sky, the new chief of the Nayu tribe, who was covered with scars but still had a fierce aura, looked at his beloved girl quietly with such a pair of deep eyes and uttered the most resolute oath.
