Chapter 197 Just Wash It
Jiang Tingwan looked at the person approaching and noticed that he once again did not emphasize the word "myself" in front of him.
In the original plot setting, Mu Yun eventually became the real Demon Lord, to be precise, after he discovered Qing Lan's exploitation and the misunderstanding about his own life experience.
Before that, he had always lived as a descendant of Wuchen Palace, bearing Bai Wangshu's hatred and carrying the hope of reviving Wuchen Palace. So all along, he killed his master and destroyed his sect, and killed people to build his Dao, all because of hatred and based on an identity. He believed from the bottom of his heart that he should do this and wanted to do it.
After that, he found out that everything he had endured in his life was due to a misunderstanding, and that everything he had done was exploitation. He suffered a mental breakdown, and thought that only the destruction of everything in the world could make up for his life of being kept in the dark. Thus, he created a demon lord who wanted to destroy the world.
But now, the order of all the plots that affected Mu Yunzhong has changed. Even because of his intervention, the influence of the Sanyuan Sect represented by Bai Wangshu on him has undergone a qualitative change. Now that he sits in this position, he can no longer think and act like Mu Yunzhong in the original plot.
Apart from self-preservation, he had no other reason to do those things and kill those people. The words "this deity" were no longer uttered from the heart. For him now, it was more like a deliberate signal to remind himself, a signal to remind himself that he could only be the demon lord.
But now, he did not deliberately emphasize this identity when facing her, which was enough to show that at least at this moment, he hoped that he would not have to be the Demon Lord.
Perhaps even Mu Yunzhong himself was not aware of this, but Jiang Tingwan received the signal.
It is said that once a teacher, always a father, and Jiang Tingwan is no exception.
Since she has chosen Mu Yunzhong, she will go all the way.
At that moment, Jiang Tingwan's mind was full of thoughts. After seeing the expression of the person in front of him, he smiled slightly and answered his words.
"I'm just discussing this with you!"
Her smile was bright and dazzling, like a flower blooming in the sun. Mu Yun didn't know what she was smiling at, but he couldn't help but pause and his heartbeat quickened.
"You can laugh anytime and anywhere." He smiled contemptuously, still unable to understand the optimism Jiang Tingwan showed when facing him.
Jiang Tingwan replied, "As long as we are not dead, we will not be in despair. I think so every day. Mu Yunzhong, I hope that one day you will think so too. Then you will find that every day in the future is something to look forward to."
She raised her little face to look at him, her fair skin marked with scars from friction. They were originally marks of disgrace, but because of the light in her eyes they became an embellishment of determination.
"..."
Mu Yun finally stared at her in a daze, and in a trance he even seemed a little dazed.
"If you find it troublesome, you only need to unlock the Qi Hai acupoint for me so that I can use some spiritual power to open the inner room and take the things. Don't worry, I will never play tricks, nor will I try to break the acupoint by myself. No matter what you want to do, I will definitely stay by your side quietly."
Jiang Tingwan took advantage of the victory and stretched out three fingers towards Mu Yunzhong, holding them high above his head.
"I promise!"
She once again smiled beautifully. These three words were more like the sound of Sanskrit in the distance. Although very far away, they seeped into Mu Yunzhong's heart little by little, awakening the secret hidden in his deepest part and making him almost greedily obsessed with this feeling of sudden discovery.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, not with doubt, but with deep thought.
Mu Yun didn't say anything in the end, so Jiang Tingwan kept swearing, waiting for his response.
After some tactful thinking, he finally had the urge to ask her, "Do you dislike my clothes so much?"
"..."
Jiang Tingwan frowned in surprise. She didn't expect that Mu Yunzhong had been thinking about this for such a long time.
He smiled and explained, "It's not that I dislike your clothes, but I have wounds all over my body, and I feel really bad about dirtying your clothes."
She wasn't exaggerating, she could feel new blood flowing through her freshly washed body.
Mu Yun finally looked at her with a softer gaze. After hearing her words, he took a deep breath, then sat back, distanced himself, and said with a slight smile, "If it gets dirty, just wash it clean."
"Ah?" Jiang Tingwan was caught off guard. "What if it doesn't fit? You have to solve this problem!"
Jiang Tingwan suddenly became anxious and blurted out.
This kid doesn't listen to nice words, right? You don't even know what size clothes you wear, right?
But Mu Yun just glanced at her briefly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Let's talk again."
He stood up and strode away, leaving only these words behind, leaving Jiang Tingwan alone and disheveled in the wind.
"What do you mean by later?"
Jiang Tingwan questioned loudly at his back, but there was no response.
But what Jiang Tingwan didn't expect was that Mu Yunzhong actually got her a set of women's clothes the next day.
What she didn't expect was what he said: If it gets dirty, just wash it clean.
It's also for real.
Therefore, when she was finally able to lie down and sleep, Mu Yunzhong directly took her out of Wuchen Palace.
Due to the extremely fast speed and his fear of heights which he had not yet completely overcome, Jiang Tingwan completed the takeoff, flight, and landing with his eyes closed.
"Wash it."
Before Jiang Tingwan opened his eyes, he heard Mu Yunzhong's voice.
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Tingwan was standing there in a daze, holding the clothes he wore yesterday.
"Right here?" Jiang Tingwan looked at the green hills and valleys in front of him, and the flowing stream under his feet, and expressed confusion.
There are quiet green mountains, gurgling water, singing birds and fragrant flowers, the stream is crystal clear, and the green forest is lush and verdant. It's such a beautiful place, why would you come here to wash clothes?
"Where else do you want to be?" Mu Yunzhong crossed his arms and asked leisurely.
Jiang Tingwan was speechless for a moment. It wasn't that she wanted to be lazy, but it felt like a waste of resources.
But since I'm here and haven't thought about escaping, I'll just take a shower.
"It's okay, it's pretty good here. It's better than staying in Wuchen Palace all the time. At least I can get out and get some fresh air."
Jiang Tingwan is not good at other things, but her only advantage is her good attitude. She just treats it as an outing, but it is just a laborious outing. Hey! If she doesn't wash it clean, can she go out again?
Jiang Tingwan thought happily in her heart, and immediately took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her sleeves, tied up her skirt, and walked into the water.
As soon as he entered the water, Jiang Tingwan was startled by the cold. The stream water in the mountain is really cool, but it becomes a special kind of enjoyment once you get used to it.
Mu Yun, who was standing behind her, looked at her slightly shivering back. Although his expression was still cold, the corners of his mouth unconsciously drew an arc.
It is undeniable that he has been enjoying his time with Jiang Tingwan more and more. He suddenly understands why he once had such feelings for her.
It’s a pity that he has forgotten what choice he made a month ago?
But for me now, it seems impossible to make such a choice.
His deep eyes stared at the person in the water. The gurgling sound in his ears lasted for a long time, until an ethereal and melodious cry sounded in the air. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the sky.
Jiang Tingwan was also attracted by the familiar sound. He immediately stood up and looked up at the sky.
After a while, a giant blue bird slowly flew over from a distance and hovered overhead. At first glance, Jiang Tingwan saw the person standing on the back of the blue bird.
She subconsciously turned around to look at Mu Yunzhong, only to see that there was no surprise on his face, but rather a look of waiting?
He came here not to do his laundry, but to see Shen Zhui.
Before she could think about it, the giant blue bird had already landed in front of Jiang Tingwan, and Shen Zhui on its back saw her at a glance.
When their eyes met, his eyes were originally very calm, like a pool of dead water without ripples, or like a blank and cold frost. However, after seeing Jiang Tingwan, a slight ripple appeared. It was a look of surprise that caught him off guard, which made him dazed for a moment...
