Chapter 140: Take another look at the peach blossoms
Murong Lingyi felt the spiritual power of the Ghost Emperor, although it was only a clone, its strength was on par with his heyday, and he was also a little surprised.
The Ghost Emperor sat upright, faced Murong Lingyi, and said:
"Don't worry, I'm here this time, not for anything else, but to take your Murong Lingyi's life, as for the others, I won't embarrass them..."
Luo Fanchen and Xiao He glanced at each other, knowing that the Ghost Emperor was determined to kill Murong Lingyi, but at this time, several of them were restrained by the ghost qi and couldn't move half a step, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Long Er's tears flowed down, and Murong Lingyi was not only a master to him, but also a relative.
Watching Master being killed by a stranger was something she never dared to imagine.
"Ghost Emperor, if you kill my master, I, Ao Shu, will definitely not let you go..."Long Er shouted fiercely.
"Giggle..."
The Ghost Emperor covered her mouth and smiled, and did not look back, she stared at Murong Lingyi's eyes and sneered:
"I can't imagine that you, a negative person, have accepted a good apprentice..."
Murong Lingyi frowned and said to Long Er:
"Long'er, I'm sorry for you, I can't teach you anymore in the future..."
"Master..."
Long Er couldn't stop crying, she couldn't believe it was all true. No wonder he told himself before to try to stop Xiao He, he had already expected that there would be today.
"Long'er, after I die, you must not trouble the Ghost Emperor... It's my Murong Lingyi's life, so naturally I have to pay it back in person..."Murong Lingyi said, as if he was ready to die, "If you don't obey the last words of your teacher, from now on, you won't be my Murong Lingyi's disciple..."
Long Er looked at the master with teary eyes, and nodded helplessly:
"The disciple obeys..."
Murong Lingyi then looked at Xiao He, showed a loving look, and said:
"Xiao He, I expected that you would take on a big responsibility in the future, and before that, Long'er would ask you..."
Xiao He was stunned for a moment, but Murong Lingyi's words had a bit of a sense of trust, and at this juncture, he couldn't refuse, so he had to nod heavily.
Luo Fanchen and Xiao He are both disciples of Shushan, but Murong Lingyi's arrangement is intentional. There is a big mountain of the Shushan faction behind it, and those thieves will not easily do anything to Long'er.
After Murong Lingyi finished speaking, he looked carefully at the familiar stranger in front of him.
The Ghost Emperor's appearance has not changed, but his eyes are different from before.
That innocent and infatuated Ling'er is now the leader of the ghost world and the overlord of one side.
The only regret he regrets is that he doesn't know that she doesn't have her own place in her heart at this time.
What else is there but hatred for yourself?
"Murong Lingyi, are you ready to die?"
As he spoke, the Ghost Emperor had an extra white bone sword in his hand, and the sharp sword body carried boundless evil energy, enveloping Murong Lingyi.
"Wait..."
Murong Lingyi suddenly remembered something, and he stretched out his hand and motioned to the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor put down the White Bone Sword, and there was a hint of relaxation in her eyes that she hadn't noticed, but she sneered and said:
"Murong Lingyi, aren't you afraid of death? It's no wonder that night, you slipped away from the ghost gate and let me walk Huangquan Road alone... You're a greedy person who is afraid of death!"
Murong Lingyi shook his head slowly, and said to the Ghost Emperor gently:
"Ghost Emperor, before I die, I have a small request... When I was younger, I liked a girl who said that her hometown was full of peach blossoms... Now that the girl is gone, I planted a peach blossom tree here, and the peach blossoms here are undefeated all year round, and whenever I look at them, I think of that girl. I've always wanted to ask her if I had walked with her at that time, would I have seen the peach blossoms of her hometown in my dreams..."
Murong Lingyi slowly paced towards the door and whispered softly:
"Before I die, I want to see the peach blossoms again... I know that some things are only cherished if they are lost, and I have already lost them once, but this time, I don't want to have any more regrets..."
The Ghost Emperor lowered her head, her figure became blurred, as if she was thinking about something, she followed behind Murong Lingyi, walked out of the gate together, and walked towards the peach orchard.
The Ghost Emperor felt the peach blossoms in the garden, and seemed to have returned to his cardamom years.
The breeze blew his fingers, the peach blossoms swirled, and the Ghost Emperor couldn't help but hold it with his hand.
A drop of crystal fell in the palm of his hand and smashed against the petals, causing a slight tremor.
The Ghost Emperor's heart was also trembling, the emotions that had been suppressed for thousands of years filled her last line of defense, and something that remained in the depths of her soul was slowly recovering.
"You... You negative person, do you know how I've lived for the past 4,000 years? I learned that you worshiped under the Great Immortal Throne, and I practiced desperately, and my hatred for you was the only reason for my existence in this world... I fantasize that one day I will be able to kill you myself... But, finally one day, I got tired of it all... I found that if I forgot about you, it would be the greatest revenge on you...
After discovering the entrance to the Xiangxi Ghost Domain, I used my spiritual power to transform that place and make it look like my hometown...
I'm starting a new life, I'm going to forget about you, I'm going to let you know that I can still live well without you..."
Saying this, the Ghost Emperor's shoulders couldn't help but shrug, although he couldn't see her face clearly, the tears that fell could not hide her state of mind at this time.
"But what I didn't expect was... The more I tried to forget you, the more I remembered... Murong Lingyi, I hate you so much... Why do you want to play such a trick on me? You haven't looked for me once for 4,000 years, and you've forgotten about me... Unexpectedly, in the end, it was me who lost..."
The Ghost Emperor sobbed, as if she was no longer the Emperor of the Ghost Realm, and at this time she just wanted to be Ling'er and her true self.
Murong Lingyi's heart was also trembling, he never knew that the Ghost Emperor was thinking so in his heart.
"Ling'er, I went to the Ghost Domain to look for you once, but when I saw you again, I decided to leave quietly... I don't want to let myself disturb your life anymore, maybe, you can live better without me..."
The Ghost Emperor stabilized her body, and she pointed at Murong Lingyi with her sword again:
"Your wishful thinking has been exchanged for thousands of years of waiting for me... I don't hate that you didn't die with me in the first place, what I hate is that you didn't dare to face yourself..."
The words of the Ghost Emperor flowed through Murong Lingyi's body like a thunderbolt, yes, he really didn't dare to face himself and his feelings.
There are always things that are missed in this world, but if you miss them, you will miss them, and the most terrible thing is that you will miss them again.
Murong Lingyi's body shook, and the next moment, the Ghost Emperor's white bone sword pierced his chest.
"Ling'er... I'm sorry, I was wrong..."
There was a smile on the corner of Murong Lingyi's mouth, he felt that he was the happiest person at the moment.
Blood trickled down the body of the White Bone Sword.
The Ghost Emperor's hand holding the sword trembled, she couldn't believe that Murong Lingyi would do this.
"Whatever you are... What has become... You will always be in my heart... Ling'er... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have deceived myself..."
Murong Lingyi shook his body and was about to fall, but he was preemptively held in his arms by the Ghost Emperor:
"Spirituality... Don't talk about it... I'm not going to let you die!"
