My carefree life in space

Chapter 198 Reunion with Cangwu

Amidst everyone's reluctant gazes, the two boarded the starship and departed from planet M19.

Lin Song originally wanted to go along, as he wanted to personally find the young master he had watched grow up, but Lin Shushu persuaded him against it. Their journey was highly uncertain; Lin Song had no cultivation, and they couldn't guarantee his safety.

Although Lin Song was somewhat disappointed, he wasn't unreasonable. He knew his strength was weak, and if he insisted on following them, he would only become a burden. It was better to stay on Star M19 and wait for the young master's family to reunite and return.

Upon arriving at J56 again, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze went directly to the central area of ​​the forest.

Just as they landed on the lakeshore, the once calm waters suddenly rippled. Lin Shushu knew that Cangwu had sensed their arrival.

Soon, the phantom of Cangwu appeared in mid-air.

"You've come!"

Lin Shushu looked at Cangwu. After a period of nourishing his soul, his condition had improved a lot, and he no longer had that feeling of weakness that was about to dissipate.

"Senior, you look very energetic. Congratulations!" Lin Shushu was genuinely happy for Cangwu.

"I'm doing quite well now, and I have to thank you for the Soul-Nourishing Wood you gave me. By the way, what brings you here this time?" Cangwu had a guess in his mind, and he felt a surge of excitement as he asked this question.

Lin Shushu's next words confirmed his guess.

"Senior, we may have found a passage to the cultivation world. We've come to ask if you'd like to come with us?"

"Of course!" Cangwu answered eagerly as soon as Lin Shushu finished speaking. He was unwilling to be trapped in this world without spiritual energy, and if given the chance, he would return to his homeland no matter the cost.

Lin Shushu wasn't surprised by his answer, but there were some things that needed to be clarified first.

"Senior, although we have found a suspected passage, we cannot be sure where it leads. Perhaps it does not lead to the cultivation world. Would you still be willing to go?"

"It's alright, it's still an opportunity. Besides, if we really can't go back, it's the same wherever we go."

Now that the decision was made, the next question was how to take Cangwu with her. After much deliberation, Lin Shushu finally made her decision.

"Senior, I have a place. If you don't mind, you can go in and stay there. Once you get there, I will let you out."

Previously, I didn't want to expose the space, so I didn't let Cangwu know about its existence. Now, there's a reason for this, so let's take the risk.

Of course, this is also based on trust in Cangwu's character. Most importantly, she is the master of this space; if she has truly misjudged him and Cangwu harbors evil intentions, she can swiftly annihilate him.

Besides, what treasures haven't dragons seen? Perhaps my space is nothing to them.

She was wrong. Although the Dragon Clan possessed many treasures, they had rarely seen anything of the Yuan Pearl's level. Therefore, the shock in Cangwu's eyes when he entered the space was genuine.

This is actually a self-contained little world, rich in spiritual energy, a rare and wonderful place even in the cultivation world.

When he heard Lin Shushu's words, he had already guessed in a positive direction, such as a magic artifact for nourishing the soul or a spirit beast bag, but he did not expect such a big surprise.

Within the mountains of this spatial realm lies a magnificent waterfall, beneath which lies a deep pool—the perfect resting place for Cangwu's remains and soul. After the arrangements were complete, just as Lin Shushu was about to leave, Cangwu voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Girl, I don't believe you're unaware of the preciousness of this little world. You're just exposing it to me like this, aren't you afraid I'll have inappropriate thoughts about it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu paused, turning back to look at Cangwu. "Senior, would you? If I dare to expose myself, I naturally have a way to deal with it. Besides, I believe you are not a bad person."

Cangwu was momentarily speechless. He was grateful for the girl's trust in him, but he couldn't help but worry about her. In the cultivation world, killing and robbing were common occurrences; sometimes, even if one couldn't obtain something, one didn't want others to have it.

He knew that this girl came from a highly civilized place and had never seen the killing in the dark world. She thought too highly of people, and he himself also held a kind heart. This was both a good thing and a very disadvantageous thing for him.

Well, I'll have to look after her more in the future. Perhaps when she reaches the cultivation world, she'll realize how cruel it is there and how out of step her insistence was.

However, the reminders that need to be given should still be given.

“Girl, you need to know that you are about to go to a place where the strong prey on the weak. There are not many moral constraints there, and killing and robbing are commonplace. You should abandon some of your old ideas. This is very important for both you and those around you.”

Lin Shushu became serious. She understood the deeper meaning behind Cangwu's words, and these reminders were timely for her. She bowed to Cangwu, expressing her sincere gratitude.

"Thank you so much, senior! I will keep your words in mind."

After leaving the space, the two boarded a starship and headed towards the Olay Empire.

Throughout the journey, Lin Shushu pondered Cangwu's words.

Undeniably, after arriving in interstellar space, she still acted according to the standards of her previous life, always adhering to the moral principles of Chinese civilization. Even though she possessed extraordinary power, she would not forcibly take what belonged to others, nor would she treat human life as worthless. This was a principle etched into her very bones.

But according to Cangwu, these principles might be a joke in the cultivation world, bringing disaster to herself and those around her. Should she completely abandon her consistent beliefs?

Mo Ze noticed her inner turmoil.

"Shushu, is something troubling you?"

Lin Shushu looked at Mo Ze and saw the worry in his eyes. She relayed Cang Wu's words and also expressed her own troubles.

Mo Ze held her in his arms, embracing her tightly, marveling at how fortunate he was to have met such a wonderful girl. He didn't want to shatter the beautiful image she held in her heart, but he wholeheartedly agreed with Cang Wu's words.

“Shushu, what you said makes a lot of sense. I know it’s hard to change your original views in a short time, and you don’t have to completely overturn your own beliefs.”

This statement was somewhat contradictory. Lin Shushu knew that Mo Ze had more to say than just this. She quietly nestled in his arms, waiting for him to continue.

"Everyone has their own standard for the world. No one is absolutely right or wrong. It all depends on the people and things you face. Your kindness is precious. As long as it is used in the right place, it is worth persisting in. As for what is wrong, I believe you have a very clear judgment."

"You trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll think too highly of human nature and harm us?" Lin Shushu teased after hearing Mo Ze's words. She actually had some thoughts on the matter, but she still wanted to hear Mo Ze's opinion.

"No, Shushu, you've never been someone without your own opinions. You can clearly distinguish between right and wrong. That's why I said what you said makes sense, because I believe you can understand the deeper meaning and know how to handle things in the future. What you lack now is just experience."

Lin Shushu's conflicted expression had long since disappeared. Mo Ze was right; the cultivation world had its own rules for survival. She didn't want to change anything, but she also wouldn't completely abandon her long-held beliefs because of it.

What she needs to learn is to find a balance between the two in order to stay true to herself and be worthy of heaven and earth.
