Chapter 17: I Want to Live
There were still two days before the forbidden land was opened, so Su Yang found an inn for them to rest, not far from the main hall of detection.
Mu Jiuqing nodded in her heart, Uncle Yang was really thoughtful.
At that moment, the group of three of them decided to go to the inn to rest.
Gu Nan followed beside Mu Jiuqing, not saying much, exuding a faint alienation all over his body. Mu Jiuqing inadvertently glanced at Gu Nan, and her eyes slipped.
When passing by the bazaar, Mu Jiuqing suddenly stopped, and Gu Nan subconsciously looked at her.
Su Yang was very puzzled and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"I need to buy something."
Su Yang didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, and said heartily.
"It's okay, let's go, I won't join in the fun, just wait for you in the inn, but Gu Nan."
Mu Jiuqing said before Gu Nan spoke.
"He's going with me."
Su Yang thought for a moment and nodded.
"Well, the two of them can take care of each other."
Su Yang watched Gu Nan and Mu Jiuqing's figures walk away, and then turned to leave.
The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became melancholy, and he didn't know when Rui'er could smile at him happily and lively.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath, this time I went to the forbidden land, and I had to find Lanshuang Grass no matter what, after all, Rui'er didn't have much time.
Sighing, he walked heavily in the direction of the inn, but his thoughts kept drifting away.
And this side.
Mu Jiuqing took Gu Nan to wander around the market until he stopped at the door of a ready-to-wear store.
The people in the store hurriedly greeted him, smiling faces.
"I don't know which guest it's for."
Mu Jiuqing turned his head sideways and signaled that it was Gu Nan next to him.
"Him!"
The shopkeeper took a look at it and said hurriedly.
"Okay, please on the second floor."
Gu Nan stared at Mu Jiuqing and didn't move.
Mu Jiuqing looked back and knocked him on the head.
"What, stupid."
After knocking, Mu Jiuqing was stunned, a little uncomfortable, probably because Gu Nan looked young, and she directly regarded him as a junior in the same clan before.
Mu Jiuqing pretended to be calm and coughed gently, it seems that some habits are really not easy to change.
Gu Nan was also stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly followed Mu Jiuqing.
The finished clothes and ornaments on the second floor are hung in an orderly manner.
Mu Jiuqing looked at the unchanged black on Gu Nan's body, lowered his head, and picked out a navy blue brocade robe.
"Went for a change."
Gu Nan hugged his clothes and obediently went to change.
Mu Jiuqing was waiting outside, Gu Nan was quite fast, and it didn't take long for him to change.
Mu Jiuqing's eyes lit up, and she was very satisfied, is this right, a young man should have a young man, and his previous outfit was lifeless.
"Well, that's good."
Then he said to the people in the store.
"That's it."
Then he gave the shopkeeper three orange spirit stones, and inadvertently looked at Gu Nan who was frowning.
"No matter what happens in the future, since you are following me now, follow my ideas."
Gu Nan nodded.
"Okay."
In fact, he didn't like his previous clothes, the reason why he wore them was just to facilitate his movement, and he didn't have the spare money to buy clothes.
Walking in the bazaar, pedestrians were bustling, and Mu Jiuqing asked Gu Nan for a while.
"How old are you?"
Gu Nan paused slightly and pursed his lips.
"Seventeen."
After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
"Bigger than you."
Mu Jiuqing looked at Gu Nan and burst out laughing.
"Not necessarily."
If you really count it, she is older than him I don't know how many rounds.
Mu Jiuqing looked at Gu Nan with a puzzled face, and didn't explain much.
"To be honest, I'm really interested in who you are, but not to the point where you have to know, so you don't have to worry about it."
Gu Nan didn't think so, looked at Mu Jiuqing and said seriously.
"I will do what I promised, so that the deal will be fair and reliable, and it will last longer."
Mu Jiuqing nodded secretly, he could see it.
"Actually, most of the reason why I promised you is because you remind me of someone."
Gu Nan was a little curious.
"Oh?"
But Mu Jiuqing obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and didn't say a word on the way to the inn.
Gu Nan also didn't speak, just silently followed Mu Jiuqing's side, keeping a certain distance, neither too distant nor too familiar.
The inn is called Yingjulou, and as soon as they walked in, they saw Su Yang who was going downstairs to greet them.
"Our room is on the fourth floor, I'll take you there."
The room where Mu Jiuqing lives has a large space and a wide field of vision, and when you open the window, you can see the bazaar and the previous hall.
Su Yang said proudly to Mu Jiuqing.
"I thought this room was good, so I left it for you."
Mu Jiuqing's intimacy with Su Yang was very useful.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang."
Su Yang scratched his head embarrassedly and hurriedly said.
"If you like it, it's fine."
Turning his head to Gu Nan, who had no sense of existence, he said.
"I didn't know you were coming before, so I booked two rooms next to each other, and just now I added an upstairs, you live on this floor, and I live upstairs."
Gu Nan said to Su Yang politely.
"Trouble Uncle Yang"
"Don't bother, you guys are so resting, I won't bother."
Subsequently, Gu Nan also returned to the room that belonged to him, he sat at the table, his expression was thoughtful, and suddenly he covered his chest with his hands, his breathing was a little difficult, he tilted his head, and showed a wry smile.
It really hurts, but it's the only way to prove that he's alive and that he's not been knocked down yet.
He really came from the lower realm, and he really knew about the existence of the upper and middle realms, but others didn't know it, no matter what he told others. They all said he was stupid and stunned.
In the end, he found that he was a person who had been abandoned by God, and he should not live in this world, but he really wanted to live, and he wanted to live very much.
He really didn't have a spiritual source and couldn't cultivate like everyone else, so he relied on consuming his life force to gain cultivation.
This is also why he gives others the illusion that he is a high-level mystic spirit master.
He desperately escaped from the lower realm and came to the middle realm, but it was not enough, he still had to go to the three domains and five continents of the upper realm, and he had to keep moving forward.
He wants to prove that he is not an outcast from heaven and that he is qualified to live in this world.
After a while, the pain in his body dissipated, in fact, he had long been used to such pain since he was a child.
It was getting late outside, and although Gu Nan was sleepy, he was just lying on the table and falling asleep, and the slightest movement could wake him up on guard.
He didn't want to sleep in bed, because once he lay there, his eyes closed, all he could see were hideous faces, expressions of disgust, and a sky full of fire and overflowing blood.
All of this reminded him all the time that his existence was a mistake.
