Chapter 2970: If Fate Wills, We Shall Meet Again!

Under the Purple Gleaming Umbrella, Mu Lingxue's soul origin gathered bit by bit.

Mu Lingxue, like a sleeping beauty, now showed a trace of vitality, which made Ye Yuan increasingly ecstatic.

"Senior, I... I finally succeeded!"

At this moment, Ye Yuan needed someone to share his joy.

Mi Tian laughed and said, "Hard work pays off! Young man, congratulations!"

In Ye Yuan, he had always seen calmness and composure.

No matter how great the difficulty, he could take it in stride.

But now, Ye Yuan was excited like a child—he had never seen this before.

Mi Tian also deeply sighed, this child truly had a heart stronger than gold!

In the cultivation world, feelings were often unreliable.

Those who betrayed you were often your closest ones.

Even if not betrayal, time would dilute everything.

But Ye Yuan was different; the longer the time, the deeper his feelings seemed to grow.

A confidante from the mortal realm, yet Ye Yuan struggled for her until today—truly not easy.

He was also happy for Ye Yuan.

"Mm..."

Suddenly, Mu Lingxue let out an almost inaudible soft moan.

Overjoyed, Ye Yuan took out a Heavenly Pill and carefully infused it into Mu Lingxue's body.

At this point, Mu Lingxue had some self-awareness and was no longer a living corpse, so she could naturally cultivate.

Thus, with the help of the Heavenly Pill, Mu Lingxue's realm soared!

Half a month later, the Heavenly Pill dissolved, and Mu Lingxue had become a Heavenly Realm powerhouse.

For Ye Yuan now, this was merely a trivial effort.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed. On this day, Mu Lingxue's eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Yuan was so excited that his heart nearly leaped out of his throat.

He pulled her into his arms and said emotionally, "Lingxue, heaven has not failed me! You... you have finally returned!"

"Do you know how long I have waited for this day?"

"You are so foolish. For me, you would even throw away your life? Do you know how much my heart aches?"

"All these years, I have lived in guilt! No matter how strong I became, that guilt in my heart never disappeared!"

"But everything is over! Everything is over!"

"It's good that you're back."

"It's good that you're back!"

In his life, Ye Yuan had never held Mu Lingxue so tightly.

He was afraid—afraid that this was a dream.

Seeing Ye Yuan so emotional, Yun Ni's eternally icy face showed signs of melting.

In the vast Thirty-Three Heavens, such a scene was truly rare.

Mu Lingxue, held tightly by Ye Yuan, seemed somewhat slow in her reaction.

Time had not left traces on her face; that face was still breathtakingly beautiful, but her eyes seemed somewhat dazed.

After who knows how long, she slowly pushed Ye Yuan away, looked at him with confusion, and said, "Who are you?"

Ye Yuan froze, unwilling to accept it, and said, "Lingxue, I am Ji Qingyun! You... don't you recognize me?"

Mu Lingxue frowned slightly, as if trying to recall, and murmured, "Ji Qingyun?"

Ye Yuan nodded desperately and said, "Yes, Ji Qingyun! Qingyunzi! Think again!"

"Back then at the Medicine King Hall, we drank under the moonlight, and you pierced my shoulder with your sword to force me to submit!"

"Back then, when Heavenly Wind Divine King wanted to attack me, you chased him for a hundred thousand li! I came to thank you, but you shut the door on me!"

"..."

One by one, item by item, Ye Yuan recited them like a string of pearls.

But Mu Lingxue showed no reaction, only saying indifferently, "Sorry, what you said leaves no impression on me."

Ye Yuan felt as if struck by lightning, standing frozen on the spot.

How could this be?

"Then... do you remember who you are?" Ye Yuan asked unwillingly.

Mu Lingxue nodded and said, "Lingxue Divine King, Mu Lingxue! This place... seems not to be the Divine Realm? My cultivation seems far beyond before."

Ye Yuan was stunned again. She remembered everything, but forgot him?

Or was he the eternal pain in her heart?

Mi Tian sighed and said, "It seems her soul origin hasn't fully coalesced!"

Ye Yuan perked up and said, "Then I'll perform the soul-gathering technique again to coalesce her soul origin!"

"It's useless. Part of her soul origin has already entered reincarnation. No matter how great your means, you can't retrieve it," Yun Ni suddenly spoke.

Mi Tian felt sorry for Ye Yuan and sighed, "A mortal's soul contains three hun and seven po. When she burned her soul, without a carrier, the three hun and seven po turned into soul origin, drifting between heaven and earth. Over time, each hun and po had its own fate. Some could even cultivate and attain the Dao on their own. But as long as they haven't entered reincarnation, they can't escape the summoning of the Purple Gleaming Umbrella. However..."

He didn't finish, but the meaning was clear.

If even the Purple Gleaming Umbrella couldn't retrieve it, it must have entered reincarnation.

Mu Lingxue looked somewhat confused, not understanding what they were talking about.

Ye Yuan looked dejected but still unwilling, "Even if it entered reincarnation, it's still within the Thirty-Three Heavens. Can't it be retrieved?"

Yun Ni said indifferently, "There are too many variables in between. Entering reincarnation means a new life. She won't have memories of her past life, nor the emotions of her past life. Even if you do find it, do you think she would want to merge with a completely different individual?"

Ye Yuan fell silent.

He hadn't expected that after enduring countless hardships, he still couldn't perfectly resurrect Mu Lingxue.

What Yun Ni said was right. If there were a past life of himself standing before him now, asking him to merge, would he agree?

Impossible!

I am me, the unique one in this world!

But should he just give up?

He still couldn't accept it!

If it wasn't a complete Mu Lingxue, what meaning was there in resurrecting her?

Just then, Mu Lingxue moved and slowly walked toward the hall's exit.

Ye Yuan was startled and said, "Lingxue, where are you going?"

Mu Lingxue said indifferently, "This place seems not to be the Divine Realm; it's a new world. I want to go see it."

Ye Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile, and said, "Alright, I'll take you."

With that, he was about to lead Mu Lingxue away.

"Stop!" Mu Lingxue suddenly shouted coldly, "I don't know who you are or what your intentions are. Don't put on a lovesick act in front of me; I, Mu Lingxue, don't fall for that! Now, stay away from me! I know you're strong, but I, Mu Lingxue, would rather die than be your pet!"

After saying this, Mu Lingxue turned and walked away.

Ye Yuan was dumbfounded, standing there at a loss.

After all the hardships, was this the scene he got?

"I'll go bring her back!" Yun Ni moved, about to act.

"Forget it, let her go," Ye Yuan suddenly said.

Yun Ni's eyes flickered, "Are you willing to let her leave like this?"

Ye Yuan suddenly put on a relaxed smile and said, "If fate wills, we shall meet again. Besides, this is the Mu Lingxue I know!"
