The cave was eerily quiet. After Xueer left, Zhang Mu's face was filled with confusion, not knowing whether what he did was right or wrong.
In my heart, I was thinking about Xiner who was buried in Qingfeng Valley, but I was actually here with Xueer, and I even had a hint of love for her. How could I face the dead Xiner and the ignorant Liu Li?
?
After patting his head, Zhang Mu felt helpless and sat on the new ice bed, thinking a lot.
Now that I am a monk in the foundation-building stage, I have truly entered the ranks of immortal cultivators. How should I go in the future?
Zhang Mu was confused by everything, and emotional matters were also bothering him. He really felt that he was a little spendy, no, too much.
Thinking again that I had wrongly blamed Meier, and remembering the tears she shed and the words she said when Ci Jin struck that sword, it was heartbreaking.
In any case, even if Meier is a fox demon, Zhang Mu will not dislike it. After all, even though it was not a bridal chamber ceremony, she was simply absorbing his own essence. Instead, he absorbed her demon essence, which made him
There was a breakthrough during the physical training period.
"Hey..." There were too many things that came to Zhang Mu's mind, and he fell asleep in a daze not long after.
The next day, Zhang Mu opened his eyes and looked at the empty cave hall. He knew that he had delayed for too long and it was time to go to Tianchi to look for longevity flowers.
As for Xueer, Zhang Mu has thought it through and just lets it take its course. After all, Zhang Mu can't deal with emotions as quickly as he can in a fight, so he can only leave it to fate.
However, after Zhang Mu walked out, he felt that it was cold here, but it was not the coldness of the snow, but a kind of empty desolation, which made people feel the chill in their hearts.
After wandering for a while, I didn't see anyone, so I couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, a snow girl slowly walked in. When she saw Zhang Hou, her face changed slightly, then returned to normal and bowed.
"Sir, my Snow Mother invites you."
What did Xue Mu want to do with him? Zhang Mu couldn't figure it out after thinking for a while.
"You lead the way."
The snow girl agreed and took the lead to walk slowly towards a certain place.
Zhang Mu followed behind and walked around for a long time. The inside was like a maze. He didn't expect it to be so big. It seems that he only lives in the front. I'm afraid someone who doesn't know the way will be confused when he comes in?
Not long after, Zhang Mu felt that his head was a little big, and then he saw Xue Nu stopped and said softly: "Sir, Xue Nu is inside, please."
Zhang Mu nodded to the Snow Girl to express his gratitude, then ignored her and walked towards the cave.
When I walked in, I saw that the inside was not very big, but it couldn't be said to be small either. There was a faint fragrance of daughter inside, and I thought this was the residence of Snow Mother.
The furnishings inside were also very simple. Apart from the ice bed, there was nothing special about it. When I turned around, I saw Snow Mother looking at me expressionlessly. I couldn't tell what she felt.
Zhang Mu's first impression of this snow mother whom she had never met before was that of indifference. It was hard to tell what she was thinking in her eyes, as if everything didn't matter to her.
Although Zhang Mu didn't know who Xue Mu was, he didn't dare to be careless. He took a few steps, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Young man, pay homage to Xue Mu."
Xue Mu started to pay attention to Zhang Mu since he came in. After checking for a moment, a glint flashed in her eyes, but she suddenly returned to normal.
"Are you Zhang Mu?" Xue Mu's voice didn't sound like an old goblin who had lived for a hundred years. Instead, it really sounded like a young girl. But Zhang Mu didn't dare to look down on her at all.
"This boy is Zhang Mu. I wonder why Mother Xue asked Zhang Mu to come?" Zhang Mu was still very respectful.
"I asked you to come today just to ask about you and Xue'er."
As soon as he heard about Xue'er, Zhang Mu was confused. He had no idea how to face it and could only secretly hate himself for spending too much money.
"I......"
Xue Mu frowned and said displeasedly: "Hesitating, just say what you have to say."
"Go back to Xue Mu, I don't know." Zhang Mu was really confused, he had never been more confused.
Xue's mother looked slightly displeased, but still asked: "It doesn't matter, I just want you to marry Xue'er today, you have no doubts."
Although he was asking Zhang Mu, he could hear what Xue Mu meant. The matter seemed to be finalized and he did not allow himself to question it.
"this......"
Seeing Zhang Mu like this, Xue's mother said impatiently: "Is it possible that my Xue'er is not worthy of you?"
Zhang Mu sighed when he heard this, and Xue'er's face appeared in his mind. It's not that he doesn't like her, it's just...
Seeing that Zhang Mu was still like this, Xue Mu asked, "Okay, let me ask you what you mean?"
"I, I..." Zhang Mu really felt that he was a sinner, but who knew the reason for his difficulties.
Hey, why did Xueer fall in love with you?
Xue's mother sighed secretly and said slowly: "Zhang Mu, I won't force you. I'll give you two choices now. One is to marry Xue'er, and the other is to leave the Holy Land immediately and not come back again."
Zhang Mu's heart trembled when he heard this. He opened his mouth and then closed it. He really didn't know what to do. For the first time, he felt that he was really not a man. He didn't dare to bear such a thing, but the burden was too heavy.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Zhang Mu was hesitant, the smiling figure of Xi'er appeared in his mind, holding a bamboo basket and smiling at himself, as if Brother Muzi was coming to chase me again.
Zhang Mu felt sour and suddenly raised his head to look directly at Xue Mu. Xue Mu was also startled, but she calmed down. After all, she had lived for hundreds of years. Could she still be afraid of a kid in the foundation building stage?
"How do you think about it?"
Zhang Mu took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mother Xue, I'm sorry that I can't agree to this..."
Before Zhang Mu could say anything else, he saw a sound of sobbing coming from outside the cave, followed by the sound of running along.
Zhang Mu was shocked and couldn't help but curse secretly, why is Xue'er listening here? What should he do now?
Xue Mu shook her head and closed her eyes not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhang Mu sighed and said hurriedly: "Xue Mu, I..."
"Go, I won't interfere with you anymore." After saying that, Xue Mu waved her hand and gave the order to expel the guests.
Zhang Mu didn't care much when he saw it, and quickly threw it out. He looked around and saw no sign of Xue'er, and he was anxious for a while.
Suddenly, a snow girl glared at Zhang Mu, as if putting pressure on Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu didn't have time to care about this. He pulled Xue'er and asked, "Tell me, where did Xue'er go?"
"I..." Xue Nu was originally going to say I won't tell you, but after seeing Zhang Mu's worried look, she pointed to a path and said, "Go straight along, and when you see a snow scene, look at it."
It’s time to visit Sister Xue’er.”
Zhang Mu nodded to her and ran quickly towards where she was.
When I walked out of the cave and saw only falling snow, a beautiful figure appeared in front of me. Isn't it Xue'er who was standing in the snow and her body was trembling slightly?
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Mu didn't know whether he should go there or not. What should he say in the past?
Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked over.
When Xueer heard the sound of the snow being stepped on, she knew it was Zhang Mu who was coming, and she stepped forward as if leaving.
"Xue'er..." Zhang Mu shouted with a heavy voice, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
After hearing this, Xue'er stopped and didn't turn around. She just looked at the snow peaks in the distance, how quiet it was.
Zhang Mu walked lightly in front of Xue'er and stood side by side without speaking. He just looked at the snowy peaks in the distance and listened to Xue'er's low sobs, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt.
After a long time, Zhang Mu broke the silence.
"Xue'er..."
After hearing this, Xueer glanced at Zhang Mu and turned her head aside angrily.
Zhang Mu knew that he deserved death, so he could not help but be manipulated by fate.
Zhang Mu looked at Xue'er's thin body and couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew that Xue'er was not afraid of the cold, he still put his hand on Xue'er's shoulder and felt the other person's body tremble slightly.
He wanted to leave, but then he realized that Zhang Mu was hugging him tightly, so he stopped struggling.
Zhang Mu looked at Xue'er, whose eyes were full of sadness, and said softly: "Xue'er, I'm sorry..." This sentence was extremely heavy.
Upon hearing this, Xue'er turned around and threw herself into Zhang Mu's arms, sobbing helplessly.
Zhang Mu put his hand on Xue'er's back and patted it gently. Feeling Xue'er's body trembling, his heart broke.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Mu whispered: "Xue'er, I..." Before Zhang Mu could finish speaking, Xue'er broke away, looked directly at Zhang Mu and said, "Stop talking, I know I'm not worthy."
After finishing, he squatted down and felt indescribable sadness.
A tear slipped from Zhang Mu's eyes, and he wiped it away without leaving a trace. He also squatted down and gently held Xue'er in his arms. At first, Xue'er wanted to resist, but then she became docile.
Feeling the warmth of this moment, Zhang Mu felt much better. He knew that he could not go on like this and planned to talk things out. As for the consequences, he didn't care so much.
"Xue'er, I know it's all my fault, but I really can't be with you, and I can't stay here. I have my mission, and I have too many things that I can't let go of..."
Xueer started to do it, looked directly at Zhang Mu and said, "What about me? Can you let me go?" After saying that, her eyes started to turn red again.
Zhang Mu took a deep breath, but he didn't feel cold despite the cold breath. He didn't know if it was because he had taken the Seven-leaf Snow Lotus.
"Xue'er, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a place called the Earth, where there lived a gangster, and he also had a naughty but lovely aunt. Due to an accident..." As he said, he said
, Zhang Mu felt really feeling better.
Xueer stopped talking after hearing this. She was not stupid either. She could tell that this bastard was the Zhang Mu who made her sad.
"Xue'er, I..." Before Zhang Mu could finish speaking, he saw Xue'er taking a deep breath, then showing a smile, and only said one sentence: "Do you love me?"
"like......"
"That's enough. I don't care where you are. I know there is someone who loves me, and I love him too. That's enough." After saying that, he showed a sweet smile and lay down on Zhang Mu.
's arms.
Zhang Mu's throat moved, and he hugged Xue'er tightly with both hands, enjoying the warm moment before separation...
