I don’t know how long it has been, maybe hours, or a day or two.
Gradually, the fleeting sands gathered back into the hourglass on Mu Kexian’s fair wrist.
At this moment, Mu Kexian had already changed back into the lotus-white robe of the Taishang Sect, and all the sores and filth on her body had completely disappeared. Her skin was like ice, her body like jade, spotless.
However, although her injuries had healed, her cultivation had fallen to only the Gold Level!
“Master!”
Ruan Ruan, who had been waiting outside, ran over instantly, looking worriedly at the unconscious Su Yuan, who had also changed into clean and fresh clothes.
“Shhh…” Mu Kexian put her index finger to her lips, smiling lightly, and whispered to Ruan Ruan, “He’s fine now, he’ll wake up in a while.”
Ruan Ruan was momentarily stunned, as it was rare to see a smile on Mu Kexian’s face.
“Okay! Thank you, Sister Mu!”
Ruan Ruan nodded gratefully and then carefully checked Su Yuan’s body.
At least on the surface, the previous sores and filth were entirely gone, fully restored to normal.
Ruan Ruan was overjoyed, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, overwhelmed with both relief and joy.
Thank goodness… Master!
Meanwhile, Mu Kexian, after glancing at Su Yuan a few times, slowly stood up and walked toward the Spirit Kun.
Ruan Ruan snapped back to reality and turned her head to ask, “Sister Mu, where are you going?”
Mu Kexian smiled and said, “I’m leaving. Take good care of him.”
Ruan Ruan said, “Why don’t you come back to the East Continent with us! Master… should agree as well.”
After Mu Kexian risked her life to save them this time, Ruan Ruan genuinely accepted her in her heart.
Moreover, Ruan Ruan believed that if the master woke up, he would certainly want to keep her.
At the very least, he should repay Mu Kexian’s life-saving grace and find a way to help restore her cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Mu Kexian’s eyes showed a moment of distraction and hesitation.
But, as if sensing something, Mu Kexian quickly shook her head.
After giving Su Yuan one last look, she lightly moved her steps and immediately leaped out of the Spirit Kun’s body.
Ruan Ruan was still in a daze, while the Demon Emperor’s soul watched Mu Kexian and seemed to think of something.
“Taishang Sect… Could it be that cultivation technique?” The Demon Emperor’s soul slightly furrowed his brow.
Mu Kexian came out of the water, using her faint Star Power to dry her clothes, but she couldn’t help but turn around and look at the sea.
Until the Canghai Ling Kun disappeared from her perception, after a long time, Mu Kexian finally turned away.
Her cultivation fell to the Lower Three Levels, and she couldn’t even fly, so Mu Kexian could only return one step at a time to her original path.
But as she walked, gradually, there seemed to be some subtle changes occurring on her body.
With every step she took, Clear Energy surrounded her body.
With every step she took, her cultivation, which had fallen to the Gold Level, began to rise rapidly.
And with every step she took… important memories from her mind gradually faded and vanished…
In the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm, he suddenly appeared and saved her from her fallen evil brother. What was supposed to be a clichéd hero-saving-damsel scenario easily captured her heart…
The Ancient Fragment, meeting him again, battling all factions and seizing the Tiger Vein.
The Qixia Dragon Vein, meeting three times, he slayed demons and repelled evil, winning the Dragon Vein.
Later, they went to the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect together, went to the Great Wilderness Ridge, all the way to just now within the Spirit Kun, amid the sands…
The precious few memories were ground into fragments and slowly faded from her mind.
Until one moment, Mu Kexian suddenly stopped.
The Clear Energy swirling around her body turned Purple, and with the Purple Qi filling the sky, her aura terrifyingly reached the Three Suns Realm!
However…
“Drip!”
Crystal tears hit the ground, and a clear tear streaked down Mu Kexian’s face.
“He… who is he?” In her expressionless eyes, there was a hint of bewilderment, “It seems like I forgot something important…”
But in just a blink, the remaining daze in Mu Kexian’s eyes was completely replaced by spreading coldness.
Just then, a flash of Spirit Light at the sky’s edge, and a white-haired, black-browed, thin and elegant yet slightly aged female Daoist suddenly appeared in front of her.
Mu Kexian bowed respectfully at once, “Master.”
This female Daoist was none other than the Emei Spirit Venerable, one of the Spirit Venerables of the Taishang Sect.
The Emei Spirit Venerable looked at Mu Kexian, surrounded by Purple Qi and exuding a transcendental demeanor, and her eyes lit up with satisfaction.
“Becoming emotional, forgetting emotions… and then being heartless, indeed, this is right.”
The Emei Spirit Venerable closely examined Mu Kexian before suddenly sensing something and grabbing her left arm to check.
