Chapter 816 The price of compromise cannot be erased
How can someone who likes sunrise only like sunrise?
By the Muling Lake, the morning light is intoxicating and a lonely figure stands alone.
The tearful beauty Murong Ruoxi stood for the whole night. Her eyes could see people's faces clearly, but there were still tears in her eyes. Although Murong Ruoxi could see others clearly, she could not see herself clearly. The end of the world is so near, and the end of the world is so near. She was hesitant about whether this thought would rise or fall!
"Little girl, everyone says tomorrow will be better. A new day has begun. Are you ready to embrace the beauty of today?"
Jiu Xiaoyao was still drinking, sitting on a huge rock behind Murong Ruoxi. He had been drinking all night. To be more precise, he had been practicing martial arts all night, the skill of being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
"Master, has the wine really made you completely forget the love, hatred, and vengeance hidden deep in your heart?"
Ever since she finished reading all of Jiu Xiaoyao's books about wine, Murong Ruoxi has always wanted to ask this question.
Jiu Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this. Firstly, Murong Ruoxi had not called him master so formally for a long time. Secondly, someone had asked him this question before, but unfortunately that person was no longer around and died because of him!
Jiu Xiaoyao suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart that couldn't be shaken off.
"Stinky girl, how about Master taking you away from Jianying City? Let's not go looking for the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring, okay?"
Jiu Xiaoyao flashed to Murong Ruoxi's side, but then he flashed back to his original position.
For some reason, Jiu Xiaoyao didn't dare to look at Murong Ruoxi's tearful eyes.
"Master, in front of Yuyao Tower, you and Master Mensao would rather let me be humiliated than die. Do you want me to live in vain? I don't think so. I want to surpass her. I want to kill her!"
Between wine and tears, Murong Ruoxi found a reason to keep herself alive, and that was hatred, hatred for Ji Xuanyan in black.
At the same time, there seemed to be nothing else in Murong Ruoxi's heart, no Youzhou, no parents, no earthly love, no master-disciple relationship!
"Surpass her? I'm not familiar with that woman, but I know that if she wants to kill you, I can't stop her. She is a member of the Ji family, and she has a special relationship with Ji Xuanfeng. You want to kill her? Humph, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it in this lifetime!"
Jiu Xiaoyao would of course pour cold water on this. He himself had been trapped by hatred all his life, but in the end it was all in vain. He certainly didn't want his apprentice to follow his old path.
But whether Jiu Xiaoyao is willing or not, Murong Ruoxi seems to be really following his old path, whether it is the path of the rivers and lakes or the path of the secular world, it seems to be the same.
In the underworld, there is no hope of revenge; in the world of mortals, love cannot be obtained!
"Master, am I good-looking? Am I beautiful?"
Murong Ruoxi stopped Jiu Xiaoyao because the question was too abrupt and too difficult to answer.
Jiu Xiaoyao couldn't guess what Murong Ruoxi meant by this. He was thinking and drinking.
There is humiliation in beauty, and humiliation in face!
Jiu Xiaoyao was about to say something when two people came from the shore of Muling Lake, running towards them, one from the east and one from the west.
One is a white-haired dwarf boy, and the other is a young talent with a drum tied around his waist.
The two of them flew directly and landed on both sides of the cliff where Murong Ruoxi was. Actually, it can't be called a cliff now, because the water of Muling Lake is just level with the cliff.
"Senior, there is no Hibiscus Grass at the bottom of the Sword Pond in Xuankong Mountain. You deceived me so much!"
The white-headed dwarf was very respectful. Although he was questioning, his tone was very natural, and more like a joke!
"You didn't dig it up, how do you know there's nothing?"
Jiu Xiaoyao's answer was so shameless that the white-haired dwarf was stunned for a moment!
The young talent with the drum tied around his waist was of course Brother Ye. His eyes were focused on Murong Ruoxi, and he recognized her at the first sight.
Brother Ye threw the drum directly into the Muling Lake. Actually, ever since he met Murong Ruoxi, Brother Ye wanted to throw the drum away, but he was reluctant to do so. Now that they meet again, Brother Ye is very sure in his heart that he has fallen in love with Murong Ruoxi. As for the Queen Mother of the West, at this moment, Brother Ye has completely let it go.
"Girl, can I have you?"
Jiu Xiaoyao spat out all the wine in one gulp, muttering to himself:
"More shameless than me!"
The white-headed dwarf looked at Brother Ye with strange eyes and whispered to himself:
"This is too direct and rude!"
Brother Ye seemed to realize that he was too abrupt and asked again:
"Girl, please ask, can you let me get it?"
Jiu Xiaoyao just took a sip of wine and got a stitch in the side, and started coughing until his face turned red!
The white-haired dwarf looked at Brother Ye and thought of Shen Yichen. Brother Ye seemed even dumber than Shen Yichen. The white-haired dwarf shook his head helplessly.
Murong Ruoxi didn't react at all from beginning to end.
Brother Ye approached Murong Ruoxi and said:
"Girl, I really want you. I really want you in my heart!"
Brother Ye and my little white-haired dwarf brother all knew about Murong Ruoxi's dance in Yuyao Tower. There was actually someone in Jianying Holy City selling the portraits from that time. I don't know who did such a wicked thing!
Brother Ye didn’t know how to express his love, so he chose the most direct way, because that was how he conquered Yang Jiarui.
In fact, Yang Jiarui also confessed to Brother Ye in this way. Brother Ye had no idea that Yang Jiarui was not in the mood to talk about love at that time and only wanted to vent her anger.
"Master, am I good-looking? Am I beautiful?"
Murong Ruoxi turned around and looked at Jiu Xiaoyao, while taking off her veil.
Jiu Xiaoyao was stunned, looking at Murong Ruoxi in shock, motionless!
Brother Ye also stopped and looked in astonishment at Murong Ruoxi's face that had once haunted him!
"You little bitch, when did you do this? Are you crazy?"
Jiu Xiaoyao flashed to Murong Ruoxi's side and excitedly grabbed Murong Ruoxi's shoulders tightly with his hands.
"Master, am I still good-looking? Am I still beautiful?"
Murong Ruoxi smiled, but this smile was no longer stunning, but shocking!
On the beautiful face, the two cross scars were trembling, trembling hideously!
Murong Ruoxi had two cross-shaped scars on her left and right cheeks at some point in time. The scars looked very old, but the flesh and blood underneath the scars were clearly visible!
"Erosion Powder, you, you have seen the living dead? No, this is given to you by Helian Xiaoyue, right?"
Jiu Xiaoyao quickly figured out the clue. He had seen the living dead before, and the skin under the armor of the living dead was like this, the flesh and blood was fresh and tender, but the scars were old!
"Master, you haven't answered me yet!"
Murong Ruoxi was still smiling, and that smile was really creepy!
Jiu Xiaoyao slowly loosened his hands, turned around and looked at the surging waves of Muling Lake, muttering to himself:
"Girl, why are you doing this? Maybe we were wrong at the beginning, but we just want you to live!"
"Master, this is the price you paid for your compromise. I don't hate you, nor do I blame you. You abandoned me in the name of "for my own good", but Shen Yichen was the only one who didn't give up. But I have to abandon him. Perhaps this is destiny!"
After Murong Ruoxi finished speaking, she jumped into the Muling Lake. She was going to look for the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring.
"The price of compromise, the price of compromise..."
Jiu Xiaoyao murmured to himself, his whole life seemed to be one of compromise, and his heart had never thought of fighting!
Brother Ye was stunned for a long time, then he jumped into the Muling Lake. His heart ached, no, it was very painful. He fell in love with Murong Ruoxi at first sight because of her peerless beauty. But now, the beauty is gone, but the love is still there!
The interesting thing is that after Brother Ye entered Muling Lake, the drum seemed to float into his hands again. Brother Ye sighed inwardly:
“Is this fate?”
Jiu Xiaoyao turned to look at the white-haired dwarf brother and asked awkwardly:
"Can the scars caused by the muscle-eroding powder be healed?"
"Senior, you are asking this even though you already know the answer. As for the living dead, the scars won't go away until the person dies!"
After the white-headed dwarf brother finished speaking, he also jumped into the Muling Lake. He also came for the real Muling Lake, but he came not for treasures, but for rare and precious herbs. In a place that has been sealed for thousands of years, every blade of grass and every tree must be extraordinary.
"If a person doesn't die, the scar won't go away! You little bastard, is it really wrong for us to let you live?"
Jiu Xiaoyao jumped into the Muling Lake with tears in his eyes. His fists were clenched tightly. It was obvious that he was filled with hatred!
In the morning light, the water of Muling Lake surges and the wind blows.
After a long time, Helian Xiaoyue floated to where Murong Ruoxi was standing. He had been following Murong Ruoxi secretly all the way.
The remaining masters of the Shadow Hall have all entered the endless abyss of Lingyun Mountain. Only Helian Xiaoyue followed Murong Ruoxi to the shore of Muling Lake.
No one in Jianying City knows where the real Muling Lake is, but the most recognized one is the endless abyss at the bottom of Lingyun Mountain, simply because it is a newly appeared place.
Murong Ruoxi's scar was indeed caused by Muscle Erosion Powder, which was also Helian Xiaoyue's. As for why Helian Xiaoyue did this, the reason is very simple. He also wanted Murong Ruoxi to survive.
This was also the result of Helian Xiaoyue's compromise. Murong Ruoxi threatened to die. If Helian Xiaoyue didn't do this, Murong Ruoxi would cut her throat with a knife and die!
Helian Xiaoyue knew Murong Ruoxi's personality very well. Murong Ruoxi was always laughing and joking, but when it came to serious matters, Murong Ruoxi would never joke!
What Murong Ruoxi asked Helian Xiaoyue to do was to leave two scars on her face that were exactly the same as the ones on Helian Xiaoyue's forehead. Helian Xiaoyue finally used the Muscle-Eroding Powder.
There is actually a way to recover from the Muscle-Eroding Powder, but no one has succeeded in thousands of years, not even their princess.
Helian Xiaoyue left Murong Ruoxi a glimmer of hope, but what was this glimmer of hope? He didn't know, Helian Xiaoyue had only seen it in an ancient book in the Valley of No Return.
"Why do you always follow her? What about Ying'er?"
An armored man appeared behind Helian Xiaoyue.
Helian Xiaoyue was not surprised, he seemed to know that the armored man would appear here.
"That's your duty. I came to Jianying City for the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring. Murong Ruoxi is the most likely person to get the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring. If I don't follow her, should I follow you?"
Helian Xiaoyue's tone was somewhat cold, and she seemed very unhappy!
"Don't forget that Ying'er left the Valley of No Return because of you. Also, have you forgotten that Ying'er has been practicing with you since she was a child? You can be considered half her master, right?"
"Ying'er is doing this for the life and death of Bugui Valley, not for me!"
Helian Xiaoyue didn't say anything more. Ying'er's mission now seemed to be in vain, and all this was really caused by him, but his original intention was not wrong!
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care of yourself!"
On the shore of Muling Lake, Helian Xiaoyue jumped into the lake, while the armored man disappeared into the land. The relationship between the two people was somewhat subtle!
