Peerless Heiress - Chapter 147
"Of course not, why are you asking?"
"From now on, you should like someone."
"who?"
"I."
"Why?"
"Silly girl, it's because I've decided to like you."
...
"Qingyan!"
No one had the will to stop the newcomer. With a clear whistle, Mo Yu moved faster than lightning, becoming one with his sword, and instantly disappeared into the white light.
...
"What have I told you? Don't even think about running away from me, you can't escape anyway. Can't you remember?"
He glanced at her sideways, his tone arrogant and his eyes confident.
...
"Girl, tell me, where will we go from now on? What will we do?"
"Well, although Mysterious Valley is beautiful and unparalleled in the world, with your free-spirited and playful nature, it's unlikely you could stay there for long. How about this, I'll accompany you on your travels around the world, and when you miss home, we'll come back for a while. What do you say?"
...
"Little girl, welcome out of the little shell. In the future, you must not get hurt so easily again. Even if you do, remember that I am here for you."
...
Mo Yu nodded and said softly, "I know you won't be staying long. How about we wait a couple more days while I take care of some things, and then I'll go out with you?"
...
Mo Yu, Mo Yu...
Scenes from when they first met flashed before her eyes. Qingyan lay on the table, a faint pain in her heart, which, along with this name, lingered deeper and deeper within her.
From when did that man, whose smile was as warm as a spring breeze but whose eyes were full of indifference when they first met, quietly enter her heart? By the time she suddenly realized it, it was too late for regrets.
Mo Yu, Mo Yu, I'm leaving now. I won't say goodbye.
We will never see each other again.
Chapter 348: The Final Chapter (8)
A hand gently stroked her hair.
Mo Yu?! She was startled and hurriedly looked up.
It's Master.
Her slender eyes shimmered with a captivating light; her exquisitely beautiful face, surpassing all others, was flawless and fair, without a single pore; her cherry-red, petal-like lips were gently pursed. A faint pity flickered in her master's eyes, a fleeting trace of sadness quickly passing through them before she could even catch it, before it transformed into a smile.
This is the person he protected, yet today she is so sorrowful because of him.
"Little Yan'er, let's not leave."
He stretched out his slender, jade-like fingers, gently lifted her long hair, sniffed it, glanced at her sideways, and smiled, "This place is not bad either. Besides, that damned Taoist priest dared to seal me, how can I let him go so easily? Once I subdue him, my seal will naturally be broken. Let's not leave."
Qingyan pulled her hair back and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. "Fine, if you're not leaving, then stay. I'll leave on my own!"
Do you think she's a fool? That kind of seal uses the power of heaven and earth. Even if Zhenhe were willing to undo it, she simply wouldn't have the ability. Inducing the power of heaven and earth is no ordinary spell; it's extremely taxing on the caster. With Zhenhe's abilities, there's no way she could cast it again. What would she do with it?
"Yan'er..." Master pitifully grabbed her sleeve. But the corners of his lips couldn't help but curve upwards, and a faint warmth quietly appeared in his perpetually misty eyes.
"And another thing," Qingyan didn't even bother to raise an eyebrow at him, only focusing on scolding, "If I don't go back, what will happen to my mom and older sister? Those two old maids will be so lonely without me. What if they accidentally get scammed by some man? Will you take responsibility? Hmm?"
The master immediately changed color, his face turned pale with fright, and after a moment of stunned silence, seeing her glaring gaze, he hurriedly shook his head.
Qingyan suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling, and leaned closer, looking smug. "Hey, Master, speaking of which, the Earth Cauldron has already merged with you, and this Heavenly Furnace seems to suit you quite well too. Once we get home and your seal is lifted, the two of you can cultivate together, and won't you become immortals very quickly?"
Chapter 349: The Final Chapter (9)
The master suddenly lost in thought, his gaze becoming distant. After a long while, he nodded and said in a cool and indifferent tone, "Is that so?"
Even if he could become an immortal, he'd still act like this? This damned monster is really putting on an act!
Qingyan rolled her eyes, but still couldn't help getting excited, shaking his arm frantically, "Wow, Master, you've become an immortal, so I'll have a divine backer! Wow, that's so cool... And Master, you've lived for thousands of years, have you forgotten where you are in your own timeline? Don't you miss your people? When you become an immortal, maybe you'll meet them in the immortal realm, then you'll have companions, and you won't be bored or lonely anymore! And also..."
Starlight fell from the sky at some unknown time, filling someone's eyes. Overly excited and lost in reverie, the person finally stopped and came to his senses after being given a sharp "thud" on the head.
He glared at the ringleader for a long time, until the ringleader almost shrank into an ant, blinking his beautiful eyes with an innocent and pitiful expression, before angrily turning away.
Hmph, I can't be bothered with you. I'm going to sleep.

Half a month later...
A guest arrived at the Valley of Mystery.
He was dressed in black, his expression cold, walking alone through the valley. Flowers swayed in the flower fields, bamboo mats offered a cool respite in the small building, a gentle breeze rustled through the peach grove, ancient trees shed petals like rain, waterfalls cascaded like pearls and jade, and the winding corridors were exquisitely elegant.
