Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1183 Awakening and Gifts

Although I know that I have been tricked, when I think about it carefully, it seems that there is no other way except to accept the reality.

Well, who made me weak?
I can’t beat him, and what can I do if he doesn’t accept it?
In that situation that day, did you have the ability to refuse?

Since this concerns her daughter's life and death, as a mother, Gan Ruying would definitely go crazy and might even kill him out of anger.

Mo Juren should even feel lucky that the other party only concealed some things and had a reason for it. Otherwise, if someone had tampered with the contract, the consequences would have been even more troublesome.

The real Gan Ruying outside is quite insidious, far less than Meng Ling in front of her. Although she likes to go to extremes, it also means that she has a simple heart. No wonder the little girl likes her.

"There is one thing I cannot figure out. I wonder if you can help me solve it?" Putting away his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again.

"I don't have much time anyway, so just ask whatever you want to ask. I can tell you anything I know." Meng Ling sighed, and after she said this, the sadness on the little girl's face became more intense.

"It's about concluding a contract. I have never understood why. Girl Meng has been trapped in the dream for thousands of years. There were other candidates during this period, and they were all excellent. Why did the senior's real body outside drag on until now and choose me?" Mo Juren had this doubt before, but he didn't dare to ask when he was outside. Now that the time is right, he asked immediately.

"I guess you've had this question in your mind for a long time, right? But you didn't raise it when you were outside, probably out of caution. That's good. I'll feel more at ease when Meng'er follows you in the future." Meng Ling laughed and continued,

"As for why I chose you, the reason is very simple. She just didn't want to. As a mother, who would be willing to let her daughter recognize someone else as her master unless it is absolutely necessary?
She hadn't done that before because she hadn't reached the end of her rope yet and wanted to try other methods. But now, she has no other options, so she has to do it even if she doesn't want to."

"So that's it!" After listening to the other party's explanation, Mo Juren suddenly realized that he had thought too much! Indeed, unless it was absolutely necessary, how could someone be willing to let his daughter become someone else's servant?

It's been put off for a long time and there's really no other way, so I have to do this.

As for choosing him, it was probably just a coincidence, and anyone else could have been chosen just as well.

There is no shortage of trial-takers, generation after generation, and all of them are the elite among the seven clans. People can choose them at will, but he just happened to come to them on his own initiative.

After realizing this, Mo Juren secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was actually a good thing, at least there was no other calculation involved.

He didn't ask any more questions, but walked away a little, leaving time for the mother and daughter.

The dream spirit was born in a dream and is originally an illusion. Once the little girl wakes up in reality, the dream will naturally be shattered, and everything in it will inevitably be reduced to ashes.

Therefore, this is Meng Ling's last time.

The mother and daughter were obviously aware of this and hugged each other again for their final farewell.

……

The real world, on a high platform.

As his consciousness returned, Mo Juren finally woke up. At the same time, the little girl in front of him, whose eyes had been closed, trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

"Meng'er!" Accompanied by a cry of surprise and joy, the beautiful woman Gan Ruying appeared in front of her and hugged the little girl in her arms.

"Mother!" Although they had been separated for such a long time, the mother and daughter were connected in heart. The little girl did not feel uncomfortable at all. Her slender arms also tightly embraced the other's neck.

Seeing this scene, Mo Juren flashed away from the platform, then turned and left with Xiao Yunhuang, who also had a happy face.

Not long after, the two had returned to their residence. At this time, the latter finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked anxiously:

"Brother Mo...did anything unexpected happen this time?"

"If there really is an accident, I won't be able to come back." Mo Juren laughed, but when he saw the other party's worried look, his heart felt a little warm.

He poured himself a cup of tea and while enjoying it, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"That's true!" Xiao Yunhuang heaved a sigh of relief after receiving a positive answer, but her expression was full of guilt.
"If I hadn't used my old promise to force you to come, Brother Mo wouldn't have to go through all these crises. This is all my fault. As for the remaining two promises, let's just forget about them."

"So generous?" Hearing this, Mo Juren was immediately surprised. Those were two promises, and they just gave up like that? It was really unexpected.

"What happened in the past was just an accident, and you can't blame Brother Mo. But I used this as an excuse to force you to agree to three conditions. That's a bit unreasonable. I..."

When talking about the past, Xiao Yunhuang still felt a little embarrassed, and her fair cheeks turned red again.

She herself was quite confused. Although she had never experienced love between men and women, she had lived for hundreds of years and had reached the stage of transformation of spirit. She should not be so shy.

But for some reason, when facing Mo Juren, she could never keep calm, just like a young girl who had just fallen in love.

"What happened in the past was indeed an accident, but since I have made a promise, I cannot take it back, and there is no need to discuss this matter. Besides, you and I are friends now. Even if there is no promise, if there is really anything you need help with, can I just sit back and watch?"

"Friends?" Xiao Yunhuang murmured softly. The other party's words were more precious than the two promises, and made her feel even more moved.

She no longer dwelled on the matter, but changed the subject.

"That senior's work has been completed. It is time for us to leave for the Five-Colored Spring. I just hope there won't be any more accidents on the way."

"It's impossible for nothing to happen unexpectedly, and compared to this place, the Five-Colored Spring has more trouble." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, and then poured a cup of tea for the other party.

"This is even more troublesome. This..." Xiao Yunhuang was shocked and had no time to drink tea. She asked hurriedly,
"Brother Mo, what do you mean? Do you know something?" "I also learned this from Senior Gan. The Five-Colored Spring was occupied by a great demon in the fusion realm many years ago..." Mo Juren nodded, and then recounted the situation in detail.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunhuang was completely stunned. She thought it was just some kind of trouble, but she didn't expect it to be like this. A great demon in the fusion realm, doesn't that mean there is no hope at all?

"Then what should we do? Should we go there?"

"Of course I will go." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, this matter is not as serious as you think. The big demon has some friendship with Senior Gan, and the other party has promised that after this matter is over, he will personally take us on a trip and negotiate with the big demon."

"So that's it!" Xiao Yunhuang suddenly realized something, but then she snorted indignantly.
"You insisted on telling half and leaving the other half. You...you obviously did it on purpose. You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself."

"You are too anxious!" Mo Juren laughed, which immediately made the latter even more "angry", but he was helpless. Then he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"That's not how you drink tea. It's such a waste of food!"

"I just like to drink like this, what's it got to do with you?"

"Okay, you're right." Mo Juren knew he was in the wrong, so he immediately admitted defeat and quickly changed the subject.

"There is something I forgot to ask. I remember you mentioned that there is a 'Nine Nether Soul Crystal Vein' in this secret realm. Do you know where it is? Will we pass by it on this trip?"

"I've only heard of it. We can't be sure whether it exists or where it is. But last time I went back, I specifically asked my mother about this matter. She mentioned the 'Dark Valley'. Maybe we can go there to check it out, but there is no guarantee of any results." Speaking of business, Xiao Yunhuang naturally would not play tricks anymore and replied seriously.

"Dark Valley!" Mo Juren's heart moved. It would be good to have a clue, which was better than knowing nothing and searching randomly. It was much more reliable. Besides, this secret realm had only been open for three years, and he didn't have that much time.

However, he was not too happy. There were too few clues, and time was still tight. It was still uncertain whether he could find it in the end.

"The Dark Valley is located in the extreme northern area of ​​the secret realm. Its area is not too large, only a few hundred thousand miles in radius, but the environment is extremely complex and filled with strange evil spirits. Even you and I cannot stay there for too long, let alone spend time looking for mineral veins?" Xiao Yunhuang reminded again.

"Evil spirit!" Upon hearing this, Mo Juren laughed. If it was something else, it might really be troublesome, but evil spirit would not be a problem.

He did not explain anything, but continued to ask,
"Since it is located in the far north, will we pass by it on our way to the 'Heaven Prison Tower'?"

"The Dark Valley is still north of the Prisoner's Heaven Tower, so we won't pass by it. However, the distance between the two is not too far. It won't be too late for us to go there after the matter in the tower is over." Xiao Yunhuang frowned and said,
"The environment in the Dark Valley is too harsh. Do you really want to go in, Brother Mo?"

"Don't worry, I never do anything without confidence. Since you are going in, I naturally have a way to deal with it." Mo Juren smiled, but did not continue to explain anything.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the second day.

After spending a night of tenderness with her daughter, Gan Ruying finally calmed down. She then brought Gu Ximeng to visit in person and brought a lot of gifts with her.

"Senior, why are you doing this..." Looking at the dozens of treasures of various kinds piled up on the table, Mo Juren couldn't help but be amazed.

A deal had been made before. He agreed to rescue Gu Ximeng, and the other party would help deal with the problem of the great monster in the fusion realm in the Five-Colored Spring.

Both parties are very satisfied and there is really no need to pay anything again.

Besides, there are too many of them, right? And most of them are not ordinary items, and their value is inestimable.

"These things were left behind by generations of trial-takers from the seven clans who came in and accidentally died over the long years. They are of no use to me, so I'll just give them all to you. On the one hand, it's to thank you for saving Meng'er's life, and on the other hand, it's to apologize for deliberately concealing some things before." Gan Ruying didn't hide anything, but went straight to the point.

"Senior, you are acting out of love for your own daughter. I can understand that and won't take it to heart." Although Mo Juren said this, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.

It was really because the other party's previous concealment was too bad. Having that so-called "symbiotic relationship" was equivalent to kidnapping him completely, which was really hard for him to accept.

"It's up to you whether you take it to heart or not, but I must thank you. Besides, Meng'er will always be by your side in the future, and I hope you can take care of her more."

When saying this, Gan Ruying's expression was extremely sincere, which made Mo Juren suddenly realize something.

He immediately understood the other party's thoughts. What apology was? That was just an excuse. The real purpose was still for his daughter. He hoped that he would not treat the other party unfairly in the future.

It is often said that women are weak but strong when they become mothers. However, Gan Ruying is the opposite. She obviously possesses terrifying strength, but for the sake of her daughter, she can put aside her dignity and be so "humble".

This mother-daughter love really moved him.

"The contract signed on that day was just a temporary measure. The ultimate goal is to rescue your daughter. There is no need to take it seriously, senior. Just let her stay by your side. Isn't it more appropriate for you to teach her personally than for her to run around with a junior, a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage?" Mo Juren expressed his attitude again.

Deep down, he really didn't want to take the other party with him. After all, the so-called master-servant contract had many restrictive clauses, which greatly reduced its value.

There is no point in bringing the other person with you, and you have to protect him from bumps and bumps. It's simply a burden! It's better to keep him here and save yourself the trouble.

Staying in this secret realm, with Gan Ruying's protection, there would be almost no danger.

"Of course I hope Meng'er can stay by my side forever, but if I really do that, I will harm her. The ups and downs outside are certainly difficult, and there are many uncertain dangers, but at the same time, only after experiencing these, she will truly grow up and mature? Otherwise, she will become a greenhouse flower and will not be able to go far." Gan Ruying sighed and continued,
"Let's just settle this. Let Meng'er go with you. Don't give her too much protection in the days ahead. Let her experience the wind and rain and the hardships. This will be good for her growth."

"It's true that there are benefits, but what if we encounter danger? The senior deliberately concealed that relationship in the contract. If something really happens, I, Mo's weak body, won't be able to handle it." Mo Juren was still very dissatisfied when this matter was mentioned. Obviously, some things are not so easy to let go.
