The young lady held the Luo Shen Sword in her hand, and the tip of the sword was less than an inch away from Mu Chen's throat. However, Luo Li realized that she was unable to stab it, or rather, she did not want to stab it.
"How did this happen? Why did the killing intent in my heart suddenly disappear without a trace?”
Luo Li's eyes were filled with shock and confusion. She had thought that as long as she could kill Mu Chen, her disturbed heart would be able to regain its calm.
However, the moment she saw the Luo God Sword about to pierce Mu Chen's throat, her mind was filled with every single thing that had happened between her and Mu Chen during the past few days. From the moment Mu Chen had saved her, everything had clearly reappeared in her mind.
"Do you think I'm a puppy that you raise? Do you think I can come and go as you please?”
"Luo Li, if a person is sincere, they will always have many friends. Some friends are friends of gentlemen, while some are lifelong brothers. Although I only know the theory, this is the truth. Perhaps your experience makes you unable to understand these things, but if you carry everything on your own, without a strong will, you will definitely collapse. Although we can only be friends for two hours, let us enjoy this time. Release the pressure in your heart. Cultivation also required a balance between work and rest. Occasionally releasing the pressure in your heart would prevent any mistakes in your cultivation.”
"Only two hours? Why don't we just make peace and be friends for life?”
"Although we will kill each other later, before that, let's have fun together for a while!”
Every sentence turned into words and replayed clearly in Luo Li's mind.
Suddenly, the Luo God Sword in Luo Li's hand trembled slightly before she retracted it. Her eyes seemed to flash with tears as she turned around.
Mu Chen took a deep breath and calmed his heart, which had almost jumped out of his chest.
"Luo Li, what's wrong?" Mu Chen saw the trembling shoulders of the young lady and walked up to her, asking softly.
Luo Li's shoulders twitched as she slowly turned around. Looking at Mu Chen for a moment, she said,"I don't want to kill you anymore."
"Why?"
"Because I couldn't kill you. When the Luo God Sword was only half an inch away from your throat, I realized that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pierce it.”Luo Li thought for a moment, then turned around and said in a low voice.
"Well, that's the best. We can be friends for life.”Mu Chen smiled as he patted Luo Li's shoulder.
In the Spiritual Road, if anyone dared to casually pat the other party's shoulder, especially from behind, then the person who received the pat would most likely be attacked with the other party's full strength.
However, when Mu Chen's hand touched Luo Li's shoulder, the young girl's delicate hands were trembling.| My body is just trembling slightly| He trembled but did not move.
"Best friends for life?" Luo Li turned around once again, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Mu Chen.
"That's right. Don't tell me you're unwilling?" Mu Chen was stunned and asked subconsciously.
Luo Li did not say anything and merely stood there quietly. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at Mu Chen as she firmly said,"I don't know if I can be your friend for life, but in this Spiritual Road, I will always stand in front of you.”
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed as he looked at Luo Li.
Mu Chen was aware of the dangers within the Spiritual Road. Although Luo Li's cultivation was one of the best in the entire Spiritual Road, with the exception of Ji Xuan, who he had yet to meet, the others were basically no match for her. However, it was impossible for her to be invincible. The words she said were sufficient to see through Luo Li's thoughts.
This was Luo Li's personality. When she felt that you would disrupt her heart of cultivation, she would use all her strength to kill you. When she felt that she could stand in front of you and block the danger in front of you, she would never take even half a step back. She would fight to the death without retreating.
"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" Seeing Mu Chen remain silent for a long time, Luo Li frowned.
"Hu ~~~" Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Mu Chen smiled."I respect you, and I'm not a chauvinist. So, let's face the storm together.”
Luo Li looked at him quietly, then nodded with a solemn expression."Don't worry, unless I die, I won't leave you alone.”
Mu Chen looked at the young girl, who was still a little inexperienced, but had already displayed an astonishing beauty. An inexplicable feeling subconsciously surged in his heart. He revealed an innocent smile and nodded gently.
Luo Li looked at him and smiled sweetly.
Mu Chen was instantly stunned. Ever since the first time he met Luo Li, he had never seen this silver-haired, snow-white skinned, doll-like, exquisite girl smile.
Her sweet smile had truly surprised Mu Chen. That kind of beauty was incomparable to those celebrities in his previous life.
For your smile, I'm willing to die in samsara!
Mu Chen understood what she meant, but he was not going to fall head over heels for her.
He didn't understand what those people in novels, anime, and manga who were mesmerized by beautiful women were thinking. However, he wouldn't. Although he still admired Luo Li's beauty and sighed for her beauty, he would never indulge in it.
"Luo Li, you're so beautiful!"
Luo Li's face turned red as she squinted her beautiful eyes. Her long silver-white hair fluttered in the night breeze as strands of hair fell onto Mu Chen's face.
The young man and the young woman did not realize that the seed of love had already been planted in their hearts. Even they did not experience this kind of love and killing.
The young girl was innocent and did not realize it, while Mu Chen was influenced by the original novel and did not notice the truth. However, he understood that he had fallen in love with Luo Li.
The young man and the young woman had their backs to the sunset as they looked at the empty field in front of them. At this moment, the two of them had no thoughts in their hearts. They just wanted to stand quietly like this until the end of time.
After an unknown amount of time, when the moon was in the middle of the night sky, scattering its unique radiance to illuminate all things, Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other and smiled. Then, they sat down beside the tree.
Although he really wanted to ridicule the fact that different worlds also had moons, Mu Chen was definitely not in the mood to do so.
"Luo Li, if you don't kill me now, then what about the disturbed state of mind you mentioned?”Mu Chen suddenly thought of this question, so he did not hide it.
Luo Li raised her head and glanced at him, the corners of her mouth curling up into a beautiful arc."When my Luo Shen Sword was about to pierce your throat, I realized that the troubles in my heart had disappeared. Your existence no longer disturbed my cultivation state of mind.”
"You almost scared me to death.”Mu Chen wanted to complain, but he only said this sentence in the end.
When Luo Li said that he had saved her, it had disturbed her heart. Therefore, it could be said that she had chased him relentlessly for nearly half a year. If it wasn't for Mu Chen's powerful strength, he probably wouldn't even have the time to rest and hunt Spiritual Beasts.
In fact, Mu Chen had ended up like this in the original novel.
"I also find it strange, but I know that I can't kill you, and I won't kill you.”Luo Li's beautiful eyes narrowed. Her thick eyelashes covered her eyes, making her look indescribably beautiful.
"Since you're not going to kill me anymore, we'll start hunting spirit beasts tomorrow. We'll strive to obtain more Soul Essences so that we can help you advance to the Fourth Grade Spirit Body.”Mu Chen said as he placed his hands behind his head.
"Level 4 spirit body? Actually, I don't have any feelings for a rank 4 spirit body. Do you know that once we leave the Spiritual Road, these so-called rank 3 spirit bodies will be able to enter the Spiritual Road.| The spirit body will disappear." Luo Li leaned against the tree trunk, her voice soft and gentle.
"Ah, I've had such a guess before. After all, if it's so easy to raise one's body to such a level, who would still cultivate honestly? I dare say that your current strength isn't any weaker than a Spirit Stage.”
"Yes, that's right. The Spiritual Road is a special space created by the Five Great Academies using the Divine Artifact, the Mirror of Judgment. Everything inside can be said to be an illusion, but it can also be said to be a real existence. "The test for us comes more from the tempering of our willpower and battle experience. Only the youths with the strongest willpower, great potential, and great luck can walk to the end. As for those with weak willpower, if they died in the Spiritual Road, they would truly die.”
Luo Li slowly explained.
Mu Chen, who had read the original novel, knew this. In other words, the Spiritual Road was actually an illusion. The Spiritual Beasts inside were also an illusion. The flowers, trees, mountains, and rivers were all illusions.
However, because of his template, the things he obtained would not disappear. Anyway, what was swallowed by the template, did he want it to spit it out?
Dream on!
"In other words, the myriad phenomena are all illusions!”
Luo Li nodded." If that's how you understand it, then it's true. It's said that if a youth who enters the Spiritual Road is killed, his willpower will be strong enough to revive him. However, if his willpower was weak and his survival ability was not enough, his willpower would dissipate, and then his body and soul would really be destroyed.”
"If that's the case, then as long as we have a firm will and persevere to the end, we will definitely be able to walk out of the Spiritual Road and obtain the qualifications to receive Spiritual Energy Empowerment.”Mu Chen raised his eyebrows. His willpower had always been very strong.
"Yes, as long as we have a firm will, nothing can stop us. Actually, Spiritual Energy Empowerment doesn't mean anything. The Spiritual Road truly allows us to train our combat experience and test our willpower.”Luo Li said with a smile.
"I see." Mu Chen nodded his head. Although other people's Spiritual Bodies would dissipate, his would not. Moreover, he did not cultivate any bullshit Spiritual Bodies. The increase in his physical strength was entirely due to the expansion of his Spiritual Lattice and the few Spiritual Herbs.
Sometimes, he even wondered if he could smash the Mirror of Judgment into pieces with a single claw if he could obtain Aziz Dahaka's full power. Or perhaps, he wondered how powerful Aziz Dahaka was in this world.
"However, it won't completely disappear. It will still make our physical body stronger. At least our body's capacity for spiritual energy will be many times stronger than the average youth. The stronger the willpower, the more training we will receive, and the stronger our body will be.”Luo Li looked at Mu Chen and slowly said.
"Since that's the case, Luo Li, you entered the Final Spiritual Road before me. Do you know where there are stronger Spiritual Beasts? I plan to kill them." Mu Chen was no longer worried about his secret being discovered, as long as he did not stand out too much.
After all, there were so many youths in the Spiritual Road. It was impossible for anyone to keep an eye on him. As long as he was careful, he would not be exposed.
"I know. There's one in the mountain behind us.”Luo Li pointed at the mountain in the darkness behind her.
"What kind of spirit beast is inside?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
"Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast, you killed its cub. Have you forgotten?”Luo Li covered her mouth and laughed. When she decided to let go of everything and not chase after Mu Chen, a smile appeared on her face.
Three black lines appeared on Mu Chen's head. Back then, he did not tell Luo Li that the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast had already been killed by him. Even if an adult Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast were to face him head-on, the chances of victory would be 50/50. The more of them there were, the stronger Mu Chen's strength would be. This was the power of the simulated Star Atlas Creation-Avesta.
As long as they had him in terms of basic performance, and the opponent was not a human, they could make up for the gap.
"Forget it, forget it. Forget about that thing. I'm not interested anymore. Let's change it. It's more practical. After all, in the final battle for the Spiritual Crown, it's very likely that I'll encounter Ji Xuan, Wen Qingxuan, and the others.”Mu Chen knocked on Luo Li's head and said with a smile.
Mu Chen's actions didn't cause Luo Li to feel the slightest bit of revulsion. The young girl seemed to enjoy such small actions. Raising her head, she looked at the youth lying on the tree trunk and said in a low voice,"Actually, at the end of the Final Spiritual Road, there is a place where there are quite a number of high-level Spirit Beasts. One of them might be on par with the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast. If you want to go, we'll leave tomorrow.”
Mu Chen jumped down from the tree and asked,""How far is it from here to the end of the Spiritual Road?”
Luo Li looked at him curiously and said,""Don't you even look at the map in the blood-red token? In the end, the end of the Spiritual Road is less than five hundred li ahead. With our speed, we only need a day to reach it.”
"Then what are we waiting for? We'll leave now." Mu Chen had an incomparable desire to further increase his strength.
Luo Li snorted." I don't want to. I haven't had a good sleep in a long time. Tonight, you'll keep watch. I want to have a good rest."”
"This isn't fair. I haven't slept in a long time either. Why don't we sleep together?”Mu Chen said with a smile.
Luo Li looked at him seriously." You don't look like you're being chased by me. You've been sleeping soundly, right? If I hadn't been watching over you, you might have been eaten by wild beasts." Besides, do you really want to sleep with me?”
Of course, Mu Chen would not fall asleep without any precautions. However, he did not notice the young lady's protection. After all, Luo Li did not have any malicious intent towards him, so it was normal that he did not notice it.
"No, you have a good rest. With me around, you don't have to worry about anything.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Luo Li smiled sweetly and leaned against the tree trunk as she closed her eyes. In just a few breaths, the young girl fell asleep.
"You fell asleep so quickly. It seems that you're really tired.”Mu Chen looked at the sleeping girl with a gentle smile and muttered to himself," I originally planned to see the situation, but I still met you in the end. Although it was my own choice, I will not regret it.”
One of the main character's laws was that there would definitely be an important woman supporting him to become stronger. Originally, with Mu Chen's situation, he did not intend to get close to anyone. However, due to the inferiority complex of the ordinary people in his previous life, he could not help but lean towards Luo Li in the end. Moreover, the so-called love that grew over time was not something that humans could control.
Although they had been chasing each other for nearly half a year, due to Luo Li's unique way of thinking, not only did Mu Chen not feel disgusted, but he had also gradually developed a good impression of this girl who was like a blank piece of paper.
"Your sleeping face is really cute. Luo Li, don't worry. With me here, no one can get close to you.”
At this moment, he understood the original Mu Chen's feelings. Why was this country bumpkin willing to turn the world upside down for this girl?
