Chapter 1230: Chapter 631: Not Going Back
"So you deceived me!" She stared hatefully at him. Although she had made an agreement with him, upon reflection she realized she was not familiar with him. This guy had lived for tens of thousands of years as a great monster, and when it came to cunning and deceit, how could she be his match? She was just too weak at the time, and the only power she could rely on was him. Even though this thought had vaguely crossed her mind, she had to force herself to suppress it and convince herself to trust him.
"It wasn’t really deception. I thought, if you were sincere and managed to rescue me, I would definitely find another way to repay you. For someone like me, a great monster, fulfilling a mortal’s wish is no problem. Breaking open the Void isn’t difficult; perhaps, as my cultivation deepens, I may discover a way to take you home. However, that might take another thousand years." Who would have thought events would develop to this point, and even though he could send her back, he couldn’t bear to do it.
She was so angry that her chest heaved: "A thousand years! You still have the nerve to say that! After a thousand years, would there be anything left in that world that I miss?" Maybe by then it would be like a science fiction novel, turned into a crisis-ridden apocalypse.
Ugh, her imagination is running too wild! Back to the point.
Changtian knew he was in the wrong and wrapped her tightly in his arms, murmuring: "When did you find out?"
She bit her lip and said nothing. If he didn’t mention it, it would be fine. But now that he brought it up, she felt a pang in her heart. Being deceived by someone she loved, who wouldn’t feel depressed?
Changtian gently shook her twice to urge her, and only then did she reluctantly say, "At Turtle Immortal’s place. After you got the turtle pearl, you went into seclusion. I took the opportunity to consult with him. Turtle Immortal is very honest. Although his words were vague, I understood that you couldn’t send me home at all!" Later she also figured out, if Changtian or the White Tiger could easily break open the Void and run to someone else’s world, with their vast and unmatched divine power, her world would probably have been destroyed already!
The grievance in her voice made his heart ache. This girl knew a long time ago that this promise was impossible to fulfill, but why didn’t she say it, why did she still wholeheartedly help him seek a way to escape? He held her tighter and tighter, softly saying: "Why?"
This question was so vague, but she understood it immediately. She pouted and didn’t speak, but her face gradually reddened, finally sulking: "No reason!" How could she answer? She liked him back then. Knowing she couldn’t go back, it was impossible for her not to feel sad. At that time, she had faintly guessed Changtian’s thoughts, but being able to stay by his side wasn’t... wasn’t bad. Afterward, although she knew he had untruthful aspects, she was still deeply in love and couldn’t extricate herself.
Who can clearly explain these strange things?
Changtian finally sighed and said: "I’m sorry."
As soon as she heard these three words, the pent-up grievance surged from her heart, her nose started tingling. She widened her eyes and blinked hard, trying to blink the tears back, but Changtian unexpectedly lowered his handsome face to hers, whispering: "I missed once, but I can’t deceive you a second time. Little baby, you can go back."
She was stunned, her cherry lips slightly parted, forgetting her grievances and tears, dumbfounded: "What?"
Changtian pursed his lips and after a long time, sighed: "After consuming the Dao Fruit, my way of Enlightenment is traveling through the three thousand worlds. One of them is very similar to the world you described, mortals are even weaker than this world but dominate it, many live in tall buildings, and those running on the roads aren’t carriages, even the spiritual power in that world is very sparse." He frowned with disgust, "The air is terribly bad, and the demon clan is few and far between."
"But I memorized the location there, and if I sacrifice three thousand years of cultivation, indeed I can break open the Void and carve a path there." He said word by word, "I can send you back."
Her hand grasping his arm trembled a bit: "Is it really the world I lived in? Couldn’t it just be very similar?"
Changtian looked at her, complex emotions in his eyes, yet he whispered the name of a city in her ear.
Her expression froze, and only two lines of tears streamed down. Even with her current mental state, she couldn’t help but speak with a choked voice: "Really, it really is Huaxia!"
She couldn’t hold back any longer, hugged his neck tightly, buried her head in his chest, and wept quietly.
All these years, even though her cultivation kept increasing, she was just a wandering rootless duckweed in a foreign land, never truly integrating into this world. In her heart, she still carried the small town where she was born, even if the life there was monotonous and dull, even if she’d always been alone, but so what? It was always her birthplace, and late at night, she occasionally thought back to her lush years spent in her hometown.
