These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Lu Qingyan frowned.

Su Mi then told him about Mu Xitong.

Lu Qingyan's expression finally calmed down, but she didn't relax much.

"The depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are so dangerous, how dare those two go there... What audacity!"

Ran Xinxue said irritably, "Don't you know what kind of person your 'beloved disciple' is? Who has his guts?"

Lu Qingyan shook her head. "How long have they been gone?"

Su Mi thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost three months..."

"Still not back? Has any news come back?"

"No, not at all..."

"Could something have happened? I need to go check on it."

Ran Xinxue, annoyed, grabbed the woman whose protective nature hadn't changed at all.

"Don't worry, he's not dead, he's perfectly fine."

"how do you know?"

Lu Qingyan looked at Ran Xinxue strangely.

Ran Xinxue couldn't possibly tell Lu Qingyan that if he died, she wouldn't be able to live either, could she? Her own survival was the best proof that the other person was still alive.

All she could say was, "Trust your apprentice. He's not a reckless fool. His wife is still here. Would he really be willing to die? And... why are you in such a hurry?"

“He is my disciple… of course I’m anxious.”

Lu Qingyan changed the subject and spoke of other things.

"Hehe, really? Alright, alright, everyone disperse, what's so exciting about this?"

Ran Xinxue glanced at Lu Qingyan one last time, then guiltily looked away.

The woman thought to herself, "I'll see when you finally lose your temper."

On the other side...

"boom!!"

The blood burst open, and the blood foam flew everywhere.

Wei Tu had become numb to it all. He couldn't remember how many such nests of flesh he had seen in the jungle heading south. He could hardly think about how far the conspiracy had come. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but rather that the current situation was overwhelming the young man, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He turned around, suppressing all his weariness, and looked at the woman lying on the bamboo mat.

Her breathing was very weak. She had been awake less and less in the past few months, and it seemed that she might fall into a permanent sleep at any moment. She was no longer able to move normally.

The little fox was holding the water bottle beside her, waiting to feed her a little when she woke up.

As the boy approached, she struggled to open her eyes a crack.

“Wei Tu…”

The boy squatted down and picked her up.

"Let's stop talking and get on our way."

In his arms, the woman seemed to feel boundless warmth, but she could also feel her strength slowly draining away, so clearly, like sand being blown away from her hands.

Mu Xitong looked at the boy's jawline and smiled, but her lips and smile were both pale.

"It's alright, it's what it is... it was destined to happen."

"What do you mean it's not a problem? It's a problem for me."

"But... there are some things I can't go against... Wei Tu, I want to sleep in your arms."

Wei Tu shook his head, almost clenching his teeth.

"If you get better, you can sleep in my arms every day. Keep going now, even if it's just for me, for the little fox, just keep going a little longer."

"Wei Tu... can't hold on any longer."

Wei Tu looked down at her as she turned her palm towards him.

A red thread stretched across her wrist, extending towards her palm. PS: There should be more updates later; I need to finish this plot in the next couple of days~

69. A glimmer of hope appears after a period of despair.

“Wei Tu, Master once said… he found me in a field of flowers…”

Amidst the turbulence, she opened her eyes. Besides his handsome face swaying before her, she also saw the sky swaying overhead.

Beyond the thin mist, the stubborn sunlight shone down... but why did it feel less warm on my face than his embrace?

"Let's not talk about these things now; we can discuss them later."

The boy, panting heavily, ran through the dense, misty jungle.

Mu Xitong slightly opened her eyes, revealed a smile, and looked at the boy.

"So... after I fall asleep, remember to put me in the flower bushes and bury me together, okay?"

"Mu Xitong... don't speak yet, we'll find it soon. Once you're better, I'll listen to you for as long as you want."

Wei Tu felt like a headless fly, and he felt a strong sense of destiny.

The so-called sense of destiny is when you feel that you have all the conditions to break free from fate, but fate tells you that there are still things you are powerless to change.

You may be able to kill everyone, you may even have the power to slay gods, but... do you have the power to save a dying person?

Wei Tu didn't want to pray to the gods, because the gods were always just bystanders who watched the show but never offered any help.

But what can he do now? How can he find the magical spring that can save this woman?

It seems like it's a long way off... Just how far south is this so-called South?

Mu Xitong said softly, "You still call me by my name... call me sister..."

"What time is it... "

"in spite of……"

"Okay, Sister Xitong, hang in there a little longer."

Wei Tu refused to show any weakness. He refused to bow his head in the face of anything because he didn't want the people behind him to lose faith in him.

Mu Xitong laughed.

"You have to listen to me... put me back where I belong... I'm already very content to have come this far with you."

"That's not enough... The future is still long."

Wei Tu had no idea where he could find a glimmer of hope. He felt that he would have to traverse the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the next few months, and he felt that he was almost at the southernmost point.

Mu Xitong said softly, "But my future ends here... I can't participate in your future, so I should apologize."

"No need to apologize... If you can go, we'll go together, Xitong. The future can't be without you."

"But... there's no way to hold on any longer, Wei Tu..."

"Um……"

The little fox cried out on the boy's back, "Master... Master, don't sleep, Master, hang in there a little longer!"

Mu Xitong's smile this time was tinged with sadness. "I'm sorry, little fox, I'm not a good master. I always make sure you're not getting enough to eat..."

"No, Master! I'm so happy to be by your side, so very happy. If you disappeared, I would be so sad, so very sad..."

"Don't cry, cheer up. I hope you can always be carefree and happy. After I leave, if you feel bored... go wherever you want. If you want to eat... stay by Wei Tu's side. For my sake... he will keep you."

Wei Tu shook his head and said, "If you die, I won't care about her."

Mu Xitong smiled and said, "I know you wouldn't do that. Sometimes you deliberately try to be annoying, not wanting to cause too much trouble... But you are very gentle. If it were just your face, how could I like you?"

"Xitong..."

"Wei Tu, do you like me?"

She asked with a smile, her smile as beautiful as the most beautiful flower.

When flowers are in full bloom, they evoke thoughts of decay.

He didn't want her to decline, but all he could say was that.

"I……"

"what!!"

The little fox cried out because Wei Tu suddenly lost his footing.

He seemed oblivious to the changing scenery before him, or perhaps his attention was entirely focused on the woman in his arms.

For a moment, I didn't realize what was in front of me, and thus made this silly mistake.

In mid-air, Wei Tu's first reaction was to hug Mu Xitong in his arms, while the little fox gripped his shoulders tightly.

Wei Tu could make a move, but he was worried that if he did, the woman in his arms would be in danger. In this state, how could Mu Xitong withstand any ups and downs?

So he thought for a moment, then hugged the other person tightly, his back to the cliff, facing the sky.

"boom!!"

Wei Tu felt a violent impact on his back and endured a fierce shock, but he made sure that the woman in his arms would not be disturbed in any way. He even absorbed all the tremors with his inner energy.

When he realized he had finally landed, he quickly opened his eyes.

First of all, the little fox was nowhere to be seen.

He thought about it and figured the little fox was probably fine. This little glutton wouldn't die so easily, after all, it wasn't an ordinary fox but a fox demon.

Without carefully checking his surroundings, he gently laid Mu Xitong on the ground.

The woman closed her eyes.

"Xitong? Mu Xitong!"

Wei Tu called out the other person's name, but she kept her eyes tightly closed and did not respond at all.
