Chapter 570: Choice
The Metaverse has returned to chaos, and there is no law to speak of, and the concept of time is almost zero. People can't feel the trajectory of time here, and they don't know how long they've been here. So Mu Shi had no way of knowing how much time they had left.
In the tombstone, in front of the boiling pool of blood, the two were silent for a long time, neither of them looked at anyone, or avoided looking at each other.
The spirit pool completely turned into a thick and viscous blood water, bubbling with bubbles. The big lotus flower that was originally floating on it seemed to be unable to bear it, and gradually withered and melted, and lost its trace.
The blood vapor emanating from the pool was not a disgusting smell of rust, but a sweet aroma, so sweet that it seduced the deepest desires of the descendants of the two clans.
In this pool of blood, there is a very powerful power. This is the common idea of Mu Shi and Beiye. In the same way, they know how dangerous this surging force is.
Mu Shi looked straight at the pool of blood, the sweet fragrance of blood lingered on the tip of her nose, and many pictures appeared in her mind, from opening her eyes and meeting Beiye, to seeing her mother for the first time; From walking in the blood-soaked hermitage of the Rishi to walking to the sleepy city at the bottom of the otherworld; From the last earnest exhortation of the elders of the Rishi clan to the last paranoid laughter of the seniors of Gonghua......
Is it worth it?
Mu Shi is asking questions in his heart, asking himself, and also asking all those who have lost their lives in order to get to this point.
No one can answer her anymore.
Mu Shi couldn't help but walk into the blood pool, clenching his hands and trying his best to resist its attraction, and the last thing that flashed was Cangxi's face.
Mu Shi suddenly smiled with relief, yes, what is she still hesitating about? Her third life was exchanged for Cangxi, and she was not qualified to hesitate.
She had to take this step! Gonghua and Cangxi, one gave her a chance to be reborn, and the other exchanged her life for her soul to bring back her soul, as heavy as Mount Tai's kindness, prompting Mu Shi to grit his teeth and come to this point.
His left wrist was suddenly grasped, and Mu Shi turned around and met the dark red eyes of the northern night fog. She understood what Bei Ye meant and shook her head slightly.
His wrists were clenched on the ground, and the northern night was still silent, as if there was a flame rising in his eyes.
He said he wouldn't.
Mu Shiwaner, the north night runs through her life in this life, and he is also with her, should she thank God, or should she sigh for this fate?
"Alright." Mu Shi smiled, turned around and walked in front of Beiye, his smart eyes seemed to contain a clear spring, gentle and clear, not mixed with any turbidity.
Bei Ye didn't dare to look at these eyes, this look was the most irresistible to him, his gaze instinctively shifted, and it just landed on Mu Shi's right shoulder. This half of the shoulder was visibly drooping, and the blood on the shirt had dried up to black and red after too long. Bei Ye's heart was suffocated, and he stretched out his hand to gently touch Mu Shi's right shoulder, and his low voice was distressed, "It hurts, right?" ”
Mu Shi was stunned, if it weren't for Bei Ye reaching out, she wouldn't have felt Bei Ye touch her right shoulder. Tilting his head to look at his unconscious right shoulder, Mu Shi shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." ”
Beiye pursed her lips, her eyes sad.
"Really." Seeing Beiye's self-blaming look, Mu Shi emphasized with a smile, "I don't feel any sensation in my shoulder, it really doesn't hurt." ”
Bei Ye became even more uncomfortable when he heard this, and a trace of anger appeared on his handsome face, "Why don't you attack me?" You could have pressed me with a medicated fire earlier! ”
Mu Shi looked away weakly, "Aren't I afraid of hurting you?" ”
"Are you vulnerable or am I?!" Bei Ye was annoyed, but he didn't know how to punish Mu Shihao, and Mu Shi's answer made his face darken.
"Okay, okay, didn't I use medicine fire against you later?" Mu Shi defended himself.
"If it's too late, you'll die!" Bei Ye gritted his teeth hatefully, stepped forward and pressed Mu Shi on the wall of the spirit pool, pinched Mu Shi's chin and said fiercely, "It's still the kind that rapes first and then kills!" ”
"Oh, you're so fierce." Mu Shi's face was red when Bei Ye said it, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of being pressed on the ground by Bei Ye, who was in the form of a demon dragon, and wantonly ate tofu with his tail, coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Sure enough, the dragon nature is true." ”
"...... you?" Beiye was suddenly choked speechless, stared at Mu Shi for a moment, and he bit Mu Shi's cheek with nowhere to go.
"Whew-" Mu Shi let out a low cry of pain, frowning but not pushing away. She knew that Beiye would not oppose her choice, and she also knew that it was because she could not oppose that she would suppress her resentment, so it would be good for him to vent it.
After a while, Bei Ye let go of his teeth, looked at a bright red tooth mark on Mu Shi's pale cheeks, couldn't help but stretched out his hand and traced it with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "I don't allow you to fail, hear no." ”
Mu Shi blinked his eyes that were moist from being bitten and his face was bitten, and said aggrievedly, "How can you be so unreasonable, it's too difficult for a strong person." ”
Bei Ye snorted coldly, "If you can't do it, don't go, save my life." ”
As soon as he said this, Mu Shi quieted down, and his originally vivid expression came to an abrupt end, and his black eyes stared at the northern night.
Beiye also quieted down, looked at Mu Shi, and after a while, his voice cooled down, "You want to cancel the contract again?" ”
Mu Shi nodded obediently.
Bei Ye's hand clenched unconsciously, pinching Mu Shi's broken right shoulder, and the severe pain made Mu Shi snort and close his eyes, and his face turned a little paler. Beiye reacted and hurriedly let go, "I didn't notice, I'm sorry." ”
Mu Shi shook his head, and only after reluctantly opening his eyes did he speak, "I terminated the contract last time, and this time I will give you a chance to level out." ”
Kita Yeqi smiled, "A chance to flatten? You obviously have a mortal heart, and you don't want to drag me to die together, right? ”
Mu Shi exhaled lowly, and the pain in his shoulder gradually subsided. So Mu Shi leaned against the stone wall, looked at Beiye and smiled weakly, "Just in case, you know, the probability of one percent, even if I am confident that I am a genius, I can't guarantee it." ”
"Then have you ever thought that if you fail, I won't be able to leave this world, unless I can cultivate in this ghost place until I break through!" The peach blossom eyes of the northern night were burning with anger, and they wanted to directly knock Mu Shi on his own. But the words of the ancestor of the Rishi clan discouraged him.
Once eroded again, he didn't know what terrible things he would do to Mu Shi. The tragedy of the ancestors, he didn't want to happen again.
"Well, that's not impossible?" Mu Shi took out his left hand and touched his chin, and said seriously.
"Okay, you're big!" Bei Ye couldn't help but hold Mu Shi's forehead, a little irritable, "Don't you think you're a little selfish like this?" ”
"I'm obviously doing righteousness!" Mu Shi was pressed so that she couldn't see Beiye's expression, but she could also think of how angry Beiya was, she held Beiye's hand and gently stroked and comforted, "You and I must have someone to try, otherwise, as you said, we will always stay in this lifeless world." ”
"What's more, there are so many people waiting for us to go back......."
Beiye's breathing was a little disordered, and his other hand slammed into the stone wall next to Mu Shi's ear, and his eyes were red as if they had been eroded. Mu Shi sighed softly when he heard the voice, but it didn't stop Beiye from venting.
The atmosphere cooled down again, and only the sound of breathing on both sides remained.
I don't know how long this silence lasted, but Kita hoped it could be longer.
"Well, we've wasted too much time." After all, Mu Shi couldn't help but speak, stretched out his hand and pulled down Beiye's hand on his forehead, and unexpectedly saw Beiye's dark face, but he smiled, stretched out his intact arm to caress Beiye's cheek, and said softly, "Is it okay to cancel the contract?" ”
Beiye neither spoke nor moved, just looked at Mu Shi deeply.
"Hmm...... Since the last time I awakened my bloodline in the Ritsushi clan and inherited all the inheritances, I have learned that the so-called life and death contract is a major life event. Mu Shi saw that Beiye ignored it, so he changed his tone, squinted his eyes and smiled slyly, "This is comparable to a marriage contract, you actually fooled me into being so confused and pressed my handprint?" ”
Sure enough, Beiye's ears turned red, his face was not so gloomy, and he was silent for a moment and whispered, "I admit it......."
"So, that's not right, we're going to be born again. You've got to give me a big contract ceremony, and it's so important, you should at least confess and beg me, right? Mu Shi's left hand slid down and pressed Beiye's heart, "Let me feel your heart~"
Beiye suddenly smiled, with the usual evil aura, "In order to get me to break the contract, you have to work hard. ”
Mu Shi was a little weak-hearted, and coughed lightly, "I'm serious, I've wanted to say that for a long time!" ”
"It was too hasty at the time." Bei Ye groaned, his red eyes flashed with a glint in him, and after a while, he got up and let go of Mu Shi, staring at Mu Shi's face with burning eyes and said, "Okay, I can cancel the contract, but I want you to know that once you fail, I won't go with you." ”
Mu Shi pursed his lips, "I didn't let you be martyred." ”
"But I will eat you who failed, and then refine and impact the last layer, even if I become a killing machine, I will take you back to Sui'an Continent." Bei Ye was imposing, and said strongly, "And then die with Bei Wuming." ”
"......." Mu Shi silently broke out in a cold sweat, "this...... Are you sure you still have the consciousness to return to the Continent of Sui'an? What if you open up another world? ”
"That's the bad luck of that world." Beiye smiled indifferently, "Since you want to bet, then I will bet too." ”
Mu Shi frowned and did not speak.
"Maybe other worlds are more advanced than Sui'an Continent and the Metaverse, and there are people who are more powerful than me to kill me." Beiye's tone was flat, as if he was saying another inconsequential matter.
"Alas, let it be, if I fail, I won't be able to control you." Mu Shi shook her head, she didn't know what the difference was between the realms, Mu Shi thought about it, if Beiye arrived on the earth, with the firepower of the earth, maybe he could be killed......
"Discussed?" The ancestors seemed to be paying attention to Mu Shi and the Northern Night at any time, and as soon as Mu Shi's voice fell, he slowly appeared above the spirit pool.
