Chapter 805 - 255: Breaking Off the Engagement
[Wang Mu: Do I look like it?]
[Moon God: Not really, but she only said it when she was about to lose. At such a time, there’s no need to lie, right? Do you have something to do with Dongfang Mu?]
[Wang Mu: Why are you asking so much? After patrolling the Lower Realm for so long, shouldn’t you return to your Moon Palace?]
[Moon God: What’s the rush... oh wait, I should be going back. I’ll return in a while. Besides, your emotional tribulation is approaching...]
[Wang Mu: What kind of emotional tribulation do I still have?]
Wang Mu couldn’t quite understand these few female protagonists. All the problems that needed to be solved were solved, and now they were all about to ascend.
What tribulation could he still have?
[Moon God: How would I know? The marriage ball shows it? Your emotional tribulation is very complicated. On the marriage ball, it shows that several emotional threads on you, thin and thick, are tightly strangling you, which clearly indicates an emotional tribulation.]
[Wang Mu: ...]
[Moon God: I saw it on the marriage ball, and you’re destined for a fatal outcome. However, I am somewhat satisfied with this journey down here. As the Immortal official of the Moon Palace, I happen to have a way to help you escape this tribulation.]
[Wang Mu: Don’t tell me you want to cut these emotional threads?]
[Moon God: How could that be? The karma of these emotional threads on you is too heavy. If you were to forcibly cut them, it might cause the Qi fortune of this world to be thrown into chaos... Actually, the solution is quite simple. These threads entangle you into a knot only because you yourself aren’t strong enough. If you were strong enough, these threads would have no power to ensnare you on the marriage ball.]
Great.
Like saying something without saying anything.
I also know if I’m strong enough, I can control everything.
Isn’t that just stating the obvious?
[Moon God: What I mean is that you don’t need to become overwhelmingly strong right away, you just need to become temporarily strong when the emotional tribulation arrives. Once you get through the tribulation, everything will be fine.]
[Moon God: Instantly making you strong is obviously difficult, but if it’s temporary strength, there are many ways both in the Upper Realm and Lower Realm. You just need to find the one that causes the least harm to yourself.]
In short, the Moon God is hinting to find a way to temporarily gain strength...
Wang Mu contemplated and found this quite reasonable.
However, even though I have the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique and the Heavenly Demon Body, they utilize karma for cultivation.
The Life Span debt still hasn’t been repaid.
Just recovering to normal, who knows how long it will take, let alone becoming temporarily strong?
Wang Mu shook his head.
The Moon God fell silent after speaking, not knowing whether she was resting or had vanished; the pendant still hung at his waist but had become inactive.
"Piao Miaoxu lost..."
"The mess she left behind..."
Wang Mu rubbed his head, thought for a moment, and transformed into Dongfang Mu, then slowly descended.
As the skies over Beast King Mountain gradually cleared, the Little Demons there crawled out from underground.
Descending to the top of Beast King Mountain, above the Three Saints Cave, gazing at the blooming landscape owing to Immortal Blood, it surprisingly felt somewhat beautiful, lacking the oppressiveness and gloom of the earlier battle.
"Big brother!"
Soon, a magnificent bear-like figure approached.
Wang Mu turned around; it wasn’t the first time he saw Xiong Ba in this form, although previously it was under the guise of Qin Mu.
After a millennium, it was obviously no longer the black bear of the past; even during the times in Qingqiu, it had shown its true form.
At this time, it was in its normal form, towering several meters, dressed in black and gold armor with a red cape, resembling the black bear from "Journey to the West," its eyes filled with respect.
"That formidable one..." Xiong Ba cautiously inquired.
"I’ve temporarily imprisoned them," Wang Mu replied, "everything was within the plan."
They hadn’t participated in the battle earlier, only in setting up the formation, and after setting it, they retreated with the Little Demons from Beast King Mountain underground.
All this was arranged by Piao Miaoxu, who didn’t want them to watch the battle.
The reason was simple: Piao Miaoxu was very cautious, afraid that if it failed, her identity wouldn’t be exposed and she could continue.
Who would have thought... a whole series of unforeseen events would take place afterward; not only did the plan fail, but the course of events completely exceeded her expectations.
Wang Mu, on his part, didn’t directly reveal Piao Miaoxu’s impersonation.
Because... this guy’s impersonation of Dongfang Mu had not a single flaw; it even improved Dongfang Mu’s reputation in the Nine Provinces to a higher level.
Honestly, even if Wang Mu himself had come, he might not have done a better job...
The self-directed and acted unification of the Nine Provinces Demon Path alone was enough to make Wang Mu feel ashamed.
For him to do it now would be nearly impossible.
So, Wang Mu decided, isn’t it just perfect?
No need to expose her publicly; since she impersonated so well, now it’s just fitting to take the peach...
Of course, some things still need handling.
For instance, Ao Qing.
It’s time to call off an engagement.
"We three are to blame for being weak and providing little help," Xiong Ba said with shame, "I could at least help you back then..."
"You’re being too formal with those words..." Wang Mu laughed, "You’ve helped me a lot these days. When this is over, I’ll personally go to the Evil Luan Clan of Tianlin Continent to propose."
This matter was actually promised by Piao Miaoxu earlier.
She had acquired his memories and, upon arriving at Beast King Mountain, gained the trust of the Three Saints through those memories, naturally understanding the various reasons.
So she agreed immediately.
That’s why Piao Miaoxu did quite an amazing job impersonating Wang Mu...
"By the way, I’ve always wanted to ask..." Xiong Ba suddenly said, "The enemy we encountered earlier in Qingqiu, is it the great enemy from a thousand years ago? You’ve been preparing all these days, acting as if facing a dire enemy..."
