Passion On Beauty Rather Than Power - C244

That day outside the city, Shi Xuan and Ye Bai had slipped into the red dust, disturbed a pool of tranquil water in the mortal world, and changed the fate of some people. As a result, they had also attracted the punishment of the heavens.

The six bolts of lightning came crashing towards them. Shi Xuan was entangled by three streaks of strong heavenly lightning, and it took a while before he managed to escape.

When Ye Bai flew out, the rolling heavenly lightning struck towards Shi Xuan …

Shi Xuan thought that she would definitely not be able to escape this calamity, but unexpectedly, a black figure pounced over and used her small and skinny body to receive the divine lightning bolt.

“Big Brother Shi Xuan …” Mo Zhu lay on the ground, on his last breath, his entire body wounded and in ruins, muttering to himself, concerned about whether Shi Xuan was alright or not.

Shi Xuan was shocked by the scene in front of him, he never thought that Mo Zhu would suddenly rush over to save him, “Mo Zhu, Mo Zhu, are you alright?” Shi Xuan hurriedly walked over and gently hugged Mo Zhu in his arms.

“Mo Zhu, Mo Zhu?” Shi Xuan gently called out to Mo Zhu. Seeing that Mo Zhu’s Qi was weakening, Shi Xuan could not bear to do so. It was as simple and kind as ever.

Shi Xuan carried the severely injured and unconscious Mo Zhu and rushed to the underworld. Shi Xuan was a little doubtful, why was Mo Zhu’s body so light? It was as if no one was held by him.

Shi Xuan lowered his head and looked at Mo Zhu, who spoke a few vague and strange words, “Big Brother Shi Xuan, I have something to tell you …”

“Mo Zhu, you’re injured. Save your energy, don’t talk for now, once you return to the underworld, I’ll find someone to treat you.” Shi Xuan continued on his way, and did not stop to listen carefully.

“No …” I cannot return to the underworld, Big Brother Shi Xuan, listen to me … ” Mo Zhu’s body was as light as a feather in Shi Xuan’s embrace. Shi Xuan had a clear feeling that a gust of wind might be able to blow Mo Zhu away.

However, Shi Xuan did not have the time to be suspicious nor did he have the spare time to listen to what Mo Zhu was saying.

This was the first time Shi Xuan hugged Mo Zhu in his arms. Shi Xuan and Mo Zhu had known each other for a few years, and he could not remember exactly how long it had been.

There were very few people with underworld to begin with, and even fewer women. In his memories, Mo Zhu was the daughter of the Neither Prison Officer. When he first met her, Mo Zhu was still very timid, always following behind the Neither Prison Officer. A pair of round eyes sized up the world in fear.

At that time, Shi Xuan was not as gloomy and gloomy as he was now. Shi Xuan took the initiative to extend his hand towards Mo Zhu, and his pretty face looked at Mo Zhu as he smiled gently, “Little sister Mo Zhu, can I play with you?”

“Ah …” Mo Zhu panicked, and instinctively retreated a few steps.

“Shi Xuan, I am Shi Xuan. Neither Monarch is my father. You can call me Big Brother Shi Xuan.” Shi Xuan’s smile became even more gentle, and her beautiful face once again moved closer to Mo Zhu.

“Big Brother Shi Xuan …” Mo Zhu shouted carefully in a low voice.

“Yes!” Shi Xuan laughed.

However, in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years had passed. When did the gentle youth who had been smiling at her become such a dark and cold person?

Lying in Shi Xuan’s embrace, Mo Zhu actually felt very warm, “Big Brother Shi Xuan.” Mo Zhu struggled to open her eyes. She really couldn’t bear to close her eyes, she could see Big Brother Shi Xuan from such a close distance.

“Hmm, don’t say anything. Save your energy.” Shi Xuan’s voice became a little gentler again. Mo Zhu seemed to have seen that youth who smiled gently at her at the first meeting that day. He took the initiative to pull her hand, wanting to take her to play.

Unfortunately …

Just as Shi Xuan returned to the underworld, the Neither Prison Officer walked over with a gloomy face. “My daughter has troubled you, Neither Monarch, so leave it to me.” With that, the Neither Prison Officer took Mo Zhu from Shi Xuan’s hands.

“Master Neither Prison Officer, Mo Zhu was injured because of me, I will go find an old doctor from underworld and have a look.” Shi Xuan did not think much of it, and handed Mo Zhu over to the Lord of Neither Prison Officer.

Mo Zhu could not help but shake his head, his body twisted in refusal. However, Shi Xuan thought that Mo Zhu was just a child and refused to heal even when he was injured, “Mo Zhu, be obedient.” Shi Xuan’s tone was somewhat sharp.

“Mm …” Mo Zhu closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and a single word came out of his throat.

Only, Shi Xuan did not notice that when Mo Zhu just got handed over to the Neither Prison Officer Lord, Mo Zhu had turned his face away in despair, and a single tear rolled down his cheek.

Shi Xuan had suffered heavy injuries in the end, so when he saw that Neither Prison Officer was carrying Mo Zhu away, he turned around and returned to his own cultivation grounds to recuperate.

Shi Xuan recuperated from his injuries for quite a while, and when he came out, he was still concerned about Mo Zhu’s injuries.

Shi Xuan immediately went to look for the Lord of Neither Prison Officer, but the Lord of Neither Prison Officer’s residence was tightly shut.

“Halt.” Shi Xuan called out to the ghost officials who were just passing by, “Where did the Neither Prison Officer Lord go?”

“Returning to Neither Monarch, Neither Prison Officer seems to have some important matters to attend to. He left the underworld long ago, so he shouldn’t be in his room right now.” The Ghost Magistrate spoke in a very serious manner.

“He went out? Then what about Mo Zhu? ” Shi Xuan continued to ask.

“This subordinate does not know that Neither Prison Officer went out alone and did not bring Miss Mo Zhu.”

Shi Xuan waved his hand, signalling to the demonic official that he could take his leave.

However, Shi Xuan had a nagging feeling that something was off. Mo Zhu had suffered such heavy injuries, yet Neither Prison Officer had actually left his underworld and left Mo Zhu alone there?

Shi Xuan thought for a while, then suddenly used his strength and smashed open the door in front of him.

Although the Neither Prison Officer had set up a barrier around his room, this sort of trick wouldn’t be able to stop Shi Xuan.

“Boom — —” Shi Xuan opened the door with a palm.

Just as the door was opened, a stream of light suddenly flew out, causing Shi Xuan to be unable to dodge in time. That stream of light suddenly entered between Shi Xuan’s eyebrows, and then disappeared.

Shi Xuan was shocked, thinking that the Neither Prison Officer had left him a concealed weapon, hence Shi Xuan hurriedly gathered the divine power on his body to investigate.

Gradually, Shi Xuan found that piece of light, and that light rushed into Shi Xuan’s mind.

“It’s actually a wisp of Mo Zhu’s consciousness …” Shi Xuan was shocked, this was more like a memory left behind by an immortal before he disappeared.

“Mo Zhu, she …” Shi Xuan was extremely shocked, and immediately used his divine power to capture that strand of consciousness.

That strand of consciousness instantly turned into a somewhat illusory Mo Zhu. That small figure, with round eyes, laughed innocently, “Big brother Shi Xuan …”

“Why are you …” Shi Xuan could not believe it, not long ago, she had just personally handed Mo Zhu over to Master Neither Prison Officer.

“Yes, Big Brother Shi Xuan, I’m no longer here.”
