Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2590: Clouds Disperse

Ji Mo lay on the ground without saying a word for a long time, so long that Ying Baoyue felt that the blood in his body was about to run out.

However, just as her blood was about to soak the bamboo leaves on the ground, everything before her eyes suddenly turned upside down.

The bamboo forest and the cabin disappeared, and the entire space became empty.

What also disappeared was the pool of blood on the ground.

The blood drops on the ground flew up and flowed back to her heart. The original puncture wound gradually healed, and even her torn clothes returned to their original state.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just her hallucination.

Only the bloodstains on her chest and the sword on the ground told her everything, everything was true.

Ying Baoyue himself could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes and touched his chest in shock.

Ji Mo picked up the sword on the ground and slowly stood up. He returned to his previous indifferent look, but his eyes became extremely tired.

The corners of the man's eyes were slightly red, as if he had been crying bitterly.

But Ying Baoyue did not expose it, because she knew that was the fragility of the fifteen-year-old Ji Mo, not Donghuang Taiyi.

Ji Mo watched Ying Baoyue checking his wounds over and over again, frowning, "You are really not afraid of death."

As long as the small world is practiced to the highest level, the owner will be the absolute master of this space.

As long as everything that happens in this space, the laws governing the operation of things are completely controlled by the owner, who can make people live or die.

But this is not absolute. If the owner is not proficient in this law, he will not be able to control the laws of nature freely.

If it were eight years ago, he would not have the power to completely control the world, and would not have been able to recover from such a serious injury.

Ji Mo originally thought that Ying Baoyue had seen through this and that was why he dared to test the sword on himself, but now it seems that she is not sure that he can restore everything to its original state.

"What are you going to do if I don't heal your wounds?"

Ying Baoyue stopped stroking and thought for a moment, "Then it looks like the only option is death."

After all, she is not an immortal monster who can survive even with a pierced chest.

The veins on Ji Mo's forehead twitched, but he tried hard to remain calm.

"What if you really die?"

Ying Baoyue didn't expect Ji Mo to ask this. She was a little surprised, a little sad, and the next moment... she felt a little relieved.

She smiled and said, "I never thought you would really kill me."

Ji Mo frowned, anger rising again, "So you are sure that I won't kill you? Where does your confidence come from?"

"Maybe I am just being sentimental," Ying Baoyue said calmly, "If I really die at your hands, you will be living a fate worse than death."

Ji Mo, who had regained his composure, touched the hilt of the sword again.

"What I mean is that if you live, my subordinates and friends will not let you go, and your three children will not recognize you even if they don't avenge me."

Ji Mo will truly be deserted by everyone.

“And if you die…” Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Mo deeply, “Even if you die down there, Master won’t let you go.”

Ji Mo's hand stopped in mid-air.

After a long moment, he sighed softly.

"You are so sure that she will help you."

Ying Baoyue said nothing, just looked at him.

Ji Mo's gaze stayed on the bloodstain on her chest. He stared at it for a long time, and his shoulders slowly drooped.

"You are right. I really don't dare to kill you."

His hair turned half white and fluttered in the air. "Even eight years ago, I wouldn't have dared to kill you directly."

"Because I know that if I really kill you, then Shu Bai and I will really be over, and she will definitely avenge you."

"She will kill me." Ying Baoyue's eyes became extremely complicated, "But Master will die with you."

"Ji Mo, although it's not appropriate for me to say this, I must tell you that she loves you."

"You really don't need to tell me this," Ji Mo straightened his back and said indifferently, "I know it in my heart."

Even though she finally chose to stay with Emperor Ying and parted ways with him.

But on the night before the final battle between Xirong and Qin, the person Lin Shubai came to see was him.

"I didn't choose to fight you during the last Rank Ceremony because I knew that if we fought, the only one who would suffer would be Master."

Ying Baoyue stared into Ji Mo's eyes and said, "If possible, I never want to fight with you."

"I don't want to either," Ji Mo snorted coldly, "Although I hate you, I don't bother to fight with you."

"So you chose to kill someone with someone else's knife?" Ying Baoyue had a blank expression, "With Xu Canghai?"

Ji Mo froze as if he was stabbed. He gritted his teeth and looked at Ying Baoyue. The next moment, he met her gaze and was defeated.

"Yes," he said calmly, "It's okay if you think so."

"I did sense Shu Bai's danger, so I deliberately asked you to intercept the letter and let you take the initiative to be Shu Bai's substitute."

The truth was finally revealed to the world.

Ying Baoyue let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly, "You really know me well enough."

"If you want to say that I'm a sinister villain, then don't worry," Ji Mo's eyes swept across the blood on Ying Baoyue's chest and looked away as if he was burned.

No matter how much he hated this girl, he had to admit that if there was anyone in this world who could die for Lin Shubai without hesitation, it must be Lin Baoyue.

If it had not happened in his little world, Ying Baoyue would have died for Lin Shubai for the second time.

Ji Mo turned his head and said, "As long as Shu Bai's life can be saved, I don't care who has to be sacrificed."

However, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him. He had originally planned to let Lin Baoyue return to Afang Palace in order to protect Lin Shubai.

But when Lin Baoyue was really killed in Afang Palace, Lin Shubai sacrificed his life to save her.

After many twists and turns, he still failed to protect the person he loved most.

He even became one of the accomplices in the murder of Lin Shubai.

Ji Mo took a deep breath and looked up at the sky, "Maybe, this is my retribution."

His hair turned even greyer, and he seemed to have aged decades.

Ying Baoyue lowered her eyes, "I don't mean to blame you."

Ji Mo sneered, "Why, are you mocking me?"

"I'm sincere," Ying Baoyue said calmly, "Even if I hadn't received that letter from you eight years ago, I would still have received the news that Master was in danger, and I would still have made the same choice."

Ji Mo's actions did not affect the final outcome of the matter, but instead made him and Xu Canghai bear lifelong guilt.

"The ending will not change, Ji Mo."

Ji Mo was stunned when he heard that, staring at the girl in front of him.

This expression is very similar to that of his youngest son.

"Master's death was not caused by you," Ying Baoyue said seriously, "Let's put aside our grudges for now. The most important thing now is to find the ultimate culprit."

"Who wanted to kill Master eight years ago?"

"You should know who the other party is, right?"

Ji Mo looked at Ying Baoyue silently.

A name, ready to be called out.
