Seeing the pale white light shoot toward her, Mu Chenxi did not dodge.
She could clearly feel that there was no malice in this light.
Moreover, Su Qiuyue had already reached the end of her strength.
Sure enough, the moment the white light merged into her Sea of Consciousness, Mu Chenxi received all of Su Qiuyue’s lifelong knowledge.
There were insights into Sword Dao and Way of the Soul, as well as Secret Methods.
She looked at Su Qiuyue again, able to clearly sense the unwillingness surging within the other’s Soul.
“I still want to cooperate with you, to kill our common enemy together.”
Mu Chenxi spoke.
“But it’s all too late. I’m about to die.”
Su Qiuyue’s gaze became completely dim.
“No, it’s not too late. There’s still time. Because I arrived here through Future Descent of Consciousness, from a future Timeline.”
Mu Chenxi spoke this great secret directly.
Seeing Su Qiuyue staring at her in a daze, Mu Chenxi added an explanation:
“My consciousness can descend to this point in time. Next time I’ll come again, and then I’ll persuade you to cooperate with me.”
Su Qiuyue’s Soul trembled violently, almost collapsing entirely.
“Then… can you return to the past?”
People always believe in the things they hope for.
Su Qiuyue desperately wanted to return to the past, to save her parents who had died so tragically.
She felt that Mu Chenxi had no reason to deceive a dying person.
At this moment, even though her Soul Body was on the verge of dissipating, and the pain was like being torn apart, she desperately tried to prevent her Remnant Soul from fading, unwilling to die just yet.
“I have no way to return to the past, I can only descend to this point in the future Timeline…”
Mu Chenxi spoke honestly, unwilling to deceive someone who had experienced a similar fate.
“What about in the future?
Will you be able to return to the past someday?”
There was still a trace of hope in Su Qiuyue’s eyes.
“I’m not sure about that either…”
Mu Chenxi couldn’t bear to shatter Su Qiuyue’s hope, and besides, she felt that Master might truly possess such abilities.
After all, Master had far too many mysterious powers.
“I’m willing to cooperate with you. Next time you come, ask me if I like the little ducklings on thousand-layer soles. As long as you ask that, I’ll trust you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qiuyue’s Soul Body could no longer hold on.
The last wisp of Soul turned into tiny points of light and scattered into the world.
Mu Chenxi looked in the direction where Su Qiuyue had vanished, her heart full of confusion.
Could such a simple question really convince Su Qiuyue?
But remembering Su Qiuyue’s earnest expression as she disappeared, it didn’t seem like she was joking.
She quickly composed herself.
Now wasn’t the time to dwell on this.
She had gained enough from this descent of consciousness.
What she needed to do now was squeeze out the last bit of value.
She turned to look at Yan Hua beside her, just about to speak when Yan Hua asked first,
“Junior Sister, should we continue Great Stomach training?”
This question made Mu Chenxi freeze.
She suddenly realized.
Yan Hua… had retained her previous memories?
“Yan Hua, since when did you start keeping your memories? I mean… retaining the memories of what we experienced together.”
Mu Chenxi looked at her Junior Sister before her and asked softly.
“I’ve remembered since the very first time.”
Yan Hua blinked her eyes.
“It’s already happened so many times, and we haven’t succeeded yet. Senior Sister, let’s keep working hard together.”
Mu Chenxi grew even more puzzled and furrowed her brow.
“But every time my consciousness descended before, I had to explain everything to you all over again. Didn’t you not know any of it?”
“Eh?”
Yan Hua instead looked confused, blinking her moist eyes at her.
“I thought that was just the necessary procedure. Isn’t it?”
Only then did Mu Chenxi realize.
Yan Hua’s way of thinking really was different from most people.
Still, the fact that Yan Hua could retain previous memories was definitely a good thing.
That way, things would be more convenient next time, and a lot of time could be saved.
“Then next time, I won’t explain. Let’s save time and get things done.”
Mu Chenxi said seriously.
Time was getting tighter, and she had to race against every second.
“Alright. Sorry, I misunderstood before.”
Yan Hua spoke with a hint of apology, thinking that was how it was supposed to go.
“It’s fine. Senior Sister has already done very well.”
Mu Chenxi comforted her.
For Yan Hua to remain relatively sane after such brutal torment was already not easy.
“Then, Junior Sister, come into my Great Stomach for training!”
With that, Yan Hua suddenly opened her mouth wide.
In the next instant, Mu Chenxi’s vision went dark.
It felt as if something instantly enveloped her, giving her no time to react.
This sticky sensation was so real—and somewhat familiar.
This was Yan Hua’s Great Stomach!?
She had actually been swallowed into Yan Hua’s Great Stomach!?
Mu Chenxi stared in disbelief, Yan Hua’s bizarre ability once again exceeding her understanding.
She hadn’t expected Yan Hua’s Great Stomach to appear in reality.
“Junior Sister, is this move impressive? I call it Stomach Big Mouth Swallow. We have to keep it secret from Master, okay?”
Yan Hua’s mouth appeared inside the stomach, her voice echoing in the darkness.
“Amazing… I’ll keep it secret…”
Mu Chenxi hurriedly agreed, afraid if she answered too slowly, Yan Hua would digest her right there.
“Deal.”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Hua pulled Mu Chenxi back into that torturous scene.
Liu Ruyan approached her slowly, and what followed was cruel torture waiting for Mu Chenxi.
Even though Mu Chenxi’s Dao heart had grown stronger and her Divine Sense had advanced—
She still couldn’t withstand such inhuman torment.
In the end, her entire Soul completely collapsed.
When she returned to her body again, Mu Chenxi was drenched in sweat.
Bai Yue rushed forward, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Seeing that she’d returned safely and was unharmed, Bai Yue let out a sigh of relief.
“Master, I obtained Su Qiuyue’s Inheritance.”
Mu Chenxi couldn’t wait to share the good news with Bai Yue.
As she spoke, she pressed her hand lightly to Bai Yue’s forehead, using her Divine Sense to transmit her experience.
Bai Yue finished receiving the memories, her heart filled with shock.
Su Qiuyue’s talent was so high.
She also felt regret for Su Qiuyue’s failure at the final moment.
But on second thought, the fact that Chenxi was able to make a cooperative pact with Su Qiuyue was an incredibly good thing.
If Chenxi could truly persuade Su Qiuyue in the future, it would be a huge advantage for them, greatly increasing their chances of survival.
However, when she learned that Yan Hua could actually retain past memories, an inexplicable ache rose in Bai Yue’s heart.
She couldn’t say why.
Clearly, it should be a good thing for them, so why did she feel this way?
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Bai Yue lost in thought, Mu Chenxi looked at her with concern.
“I’m fine. It’s wonderful. Everything is going so smoothly.”
Bai Yue quickly suppressed the strange feeling and forced a smile for Mu Chenxi.
She thought, maybe it was because she missed Yan Hua a little.
It would be fine.
In a few days, they’d go back, and she could see Yan Hua again.
Bai Yue comforted herself with these thoughts.
