The two of them were silent for a moment. Ximen Xue Zhen lowered his head slightly, and the blush on his face became more intense and gradually spread. The next moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Shi Mu. The breeze blew, and his bangs were raised slightly. His small face looked as gorgeous as a peach plum.
.
Looking at Ximen Xue, Shi Mu felt a little nervous for some unknown reason.
If he faced an enemy, even if he was in the late Ten God Realm, or even facing Emperor Kuang, he would never have such emotions.
"You... took a strange risk to save Xiu'er before. I'm very grateful. When I attacked Heaven, I wanted to rescue you first, but I never saw you during the battle. It turns out that you had already escaped from Heaven." Shi Mu seemed to be thinking about it.
Words, said slowly.
A trace of joy flashed in Ximen Xue's eyes, and her pink lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Shi Mu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "I'll keep these things in mind, but it's just between you and me..."
Ximen Xue's face turned pale and her eyes darkened.
"You don't need to say it. Back then, I was devoted to Taoism and wanted to inherit my master's wish, but I didn't want the so-called heaven and the immortal world to be full of people who deceived me. Since we missed it, that was my fate." Before Shi Mu could finish speaking, Ximen
Xue immediately interrupted Shi Mu's words.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her expression was filled with sadness. As soon as she said these words, she immediately turned around and slenderly walked away, her graceful figure flying away into the distance.
Seeing this, Shi Mu's eyes suddenly became dazed for a moment.
The scene of saying goodbye in the rain came to mind again, and then his mind flashed to the illusory dream state after eating the moon fruit.
"Xue'er, when we parted ways in Tongtian Immortal Sect, did you come out to look for me again after I left?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly and he suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Ximen Xue paused in the air and was silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Yes, how do you know?"
A piece of wind blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of Ximen's body. Shi Mu's heart was not only slightly swayed.
Ximen Xue noticed Shi Mu's expression, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and the sad look on her face faded a little.
"Since you have no interest in me, why are you still talking about it?" She turned her back to Shi Mu and said.
"Xue'er, you misunderstood me. It's just that this time the gate of the Mysterious Realm is opened, the rules of heaven and earth have changed, and the connection with the upper realm has been strengthened. Although I have not entered the gate of the Mysterious Realm and ascended, my cultivation has reached my level, and the upper realm is very
There will be a thunderstorm soon. If I can survive it, I will ascend to the upper world. Failure to survive it will naturally result in my death." Shi Mu sighed and said slowly.
He had only mentioned the matter of Thunder Tribulation to Zhong Xiu before, but had not discussed it in detail with Ximen Xue and Jin Xiaochai.
Ximen Xue's expression changed after hearing this.
A complex look flashed in Shi Mu's eyes. He has not cultivated deliberately in these years, but the body of the true immortal has been almost perfected. Even if he has not cultivated deliberately, his cultivation level is still rising slowly, and the seal taught by Shui Lingzi has gradually become unable to
Suppress his breath.
Shi Mu had a keen premonition that the time for the catastrophe was getting closer and closer.
If it is later, it may be a hundred years; if it is earlier, it may be only twenty or thirty years.
This period of time may be very long for ordinary mortals, but for people of Shi Mu's level, it is too short and can be passed in one retreat.
"No matter what, I don't have much time. But even if I owe Xiu'er something, I still want to know what you think." Shi Mu said solemnly.
Ximen Xue had just calmed down. He was startled when he heard this. Then his face became angry and he suddenly shouted loudly: "You are really a stone!"
Shi Mu was stunned, and Ximen Xue suddenly swayed and turned into a white ray of light, flying towards the distance.
He seemed to understand a little bit as he watched Ximen Xue's light disappear.
…
On the side of the nameless island, Ximen Xue stood on a huge sea rock.
At this moment, the sunset is like fire, reflecting the sea surface into a golden color, as if a layer of gold has been poured on it, and it is as beautiful as a picture.
"What are you doing standing here alone?" A laugh suddenly came from behind, and Jin Xiaochai appeared out of nowhere and walked over.
Ximen Xue glanced at Jin Xiaochai and continued to look at the sea.
"Why are you so busy today?" she asked.
"Nothing? I'm just doing it for your own good. When I said those words before, looking at that stone's reaction, it was obvious that I still have lingering feelings for you. I was kind-hearted to create opportunities for you. But looking at your appearance now, that stone
I'm afraid I don't understand the style and said something stupid." Jin Xiaochai said with a smile.
"Silly words? It's true. Apart from practicing, he is really stupid in other areas. When he was a boy, he was nothing like he is now." Ximen Xue sighed quietly, as if recalling the encounter in the forest that day, and said.
Jin Xiaochai said excitedly, "What happened to Shi Mu when he was a boy? I haven't heard you say it before. I didn't want to hear it before, but now it seems that I know the first love of the strongest man in the Star Territory."
The two then started whispering...
"Then what are your plans in the future? Since Shi Mu is so ignorant of style, you don't have to wait for him anymore. Anyway, the heaven has been destroyed now. We ask Shi Mu to help repair the interstellar teleportation array, and then leave Lanhai Star.
How about traveling in the Star Territory? With our strength, we can't go anywhere." The two were chatting and laughing happily. Jin Xiaochai suddenly stretched out his hand and gently held Ximen Xue's jade-like hand. His eyes were as gentle as water, shining on Ximen Xue, and said slowly
.
Ximen Xue withdrew her palm and said in surprise: "You're here again."
The smile on Jin Xiaochai's face slowly faded, he was silent for a moment and said, "I'll help you handle this matter."
After saying this, she suddenly turned around and left.
Ximen Xue was startled, as if she didn't understand what Jin Xiaochai meant. Jin Xiaochai had already left.
…
Dao Zhongxiu’s residence.
Shi Mu sat on a bamboo chair next to the window. The cool breeze outside the window made the bamboo leaves flutter, making a rustling sound, and it was quiet and quiet.
However, Shi Mu's expression at this moment was incompatible with the quiet scene outside, and he looked a little restless.
With a creak, the door was pushed open and Zhong Xiu walked in.
Seeing Zhong Xiu come in, she straightened up slightly and asked: "Xiu'er, what did Miss Jin want to do with you just now?".
"Sister Xiaochai chatted with me for a long time, and she even told me everything about the first time you met Ximen." Zhong Xiu looked at Shi Mu narrowly and said.
"It's fate that makes people tick. I've always wanted to tell you this, Xiu'er." Shi Mu said.
"You are more worried about my jealousy. That year I watched my husband go to find Miss Ximen, and you were always depressed after you came back. This time when you came back, I couldn't see the look in her eyes towards you. How do you treat her?
It's just lingering love." Zhong Xiu said, "Ximen saved you and my wife many times. I have also been with her for a long time, and I know her temperament. This time, I also put Miss Jin in trouble and came to tell me."
"Xiu'er, I..." Shi Mu said.
"For so many years on the island, I have been hoping that you can find us, thinking that we can be reunited, and thinking that what Ximen will do after you come? At that time, I thought, as long as you can be safe
Come back, it doesn’t matter even if she and I can stay with you together in the future, I never thought you could really break through the space barrier and come back to me." Zhong Xiu said softly.
"As long as you are by my side, all my wishes have come true. Just be obedient and I will go out first."
After saying this, Zhong Xiu didn't wait for Shi Mu to speak, and immediately turned around and walked out.
"You can't go back on the oath you swore in the name of your mother." Zhong Xiu's voice came from outside the door.
Shi Mu stood silently and sat down, feeling a little uneasy.
"Young boy Shi, hugging you from left to right, with wives and concubines in groups, this is the dream of all men. Even the old man is jealous." A voice suddenly sounded, coming from a blue gourd on Shi Mu's waist, it was Shui Lingzi
the sound of.
The gourd is filled with blue light, crystal clear and faintly surrounded by countless blue auras.
This gourd is a secret treasure that Shi Mu obtained from traveling around various planets over the years on a planet with a harsh climate and ice all year round. It contains extremely pure cold air. Later, he asked someone to refine it into something similar to a spiritual beast.
The magic weapon in the bag, Shui Lingzi has been practicing in it all these years.
Cai'er was also practicing hard in another spirit beast bag on his body at the moment. She hadn't come out for several years, which surprised Shi Mu.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs. You can practice well by yourself. How is your practice of the Nine Yuan Ice and Fire Immortal Technique? My day of catastrophe is not far away." Shi Mu said with a slight snort.
"Don't worry, you are already 80% ready. Before the day of your catastrophe, even if you cannot reach 100%, you will definitely have 90% power," Shui Lingzi said.
The Nine Yuan Ice and Fire Immortal Technique is a secret technique of Shui Lingzi. It is an immortal technique passed down from the upper world. It is extremely powerful, but it requires two people who are proficient in the laws of water and fire to work together to perform it. It is a rare combined magic technique.
Shi Mu had already mastered the law of fire, and now he only needed Shui Lingzi's law of water.
This magical technique is also one of the means used by Shi Mu to resist the catastrophe. Shui Lingzi is his spiritual beast, so it should be okay to attack during the catastrophe.
"I hope you didn't brag this time. The secret sealing technique you boasted last time was unparalleled in the world, but it didn't have much effect at all." Shi Mu said with a cold snort.
"Hey, that time was an accident. How did I know that your cultivation has progressed so fast, and that the body of a true immortal can break through the shackles of the seal." Shui Lingzi smiled sarcastically.
Shi Mu shook his head. At this moment, he was in a difficult mood and did not ask Shui Lingzi any more.
Shui Lingzi had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation at this moment. When he woke up, he happened to see this scene. He originally wanted to tease Shi Mu a few words to lighten his mood, but unexpectedly, Shi Mu mentioned the most embarrassing thing. How could he dare to show up again?
It sank.
At this moment, on the huge rock by the sea, Zhong Xiu was accompanying Ximen Xue, whispering something.
The expression on Ximen Xue's face flickered, and finally became calm.
"Sister, you should know my husband's temperament. The main reason is that you are afraid of hurting my heart. Your story is quite long. I watched Brother Shi go to find you that day. Later, Brother Shi was depressed after he came back.
, I have been heartbroken for him for a long time. Please look at my face and don’t blame him for being dull just now." Zhong Xiu said.
A glimmer of crystal water flashed in Ximen Xue's beautiful eyes, and her lips parted lightly as she said, "Sister Xiu'er...I..."
Seeing Ximen Xue like this, Zhong Xiu chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, we've been out for so long. If we don't go back, my husband might worry about us fighting, giggle..."
With that said, she took Ximen's hand and walked back together.
Ximen Xue was a little shy, but she let Zhong Xiu pull her and walked towards her residence.
