Chapter 835: Chapter 267: Her Name Is Xiao Muli
The gentle breeze over Dan Peak dispersed some of the unique Elixir fragrance.
"The Dan Formation is complete, Brother Dongfang, you may leave now."
Mo Xilan looked languid, her weary eyes making her seem like a delicate begonia flower.
Who knows how exhausted she felt after nearly two months of Alchemy...
"..." Wang Mu.
Finish Alchemy and then get people to leave?
Wang Mu tightened his robe and said:
"Then I shall leave."
With two months passed, there was less than a month left until the Ascension ceremony.
He was planning to go back and prepare; this Alchemy journey had benefited him greatly.
"Really leaving?" Mo Xilan snorted softly, "The two Immortal Tribulation pills are my savings of the year, take one. As for the other, I have other uses for it."
"Anything that needed to be said during these two months has been said. You tell me to leave, I naturally leave." Wang Mu took a pill without looking back.
Mo Xilan was incensed, giving Wang Mu a glare.
Though the two months spent on Alchemy mostly involved immersion in the process, such a long period inevitably included some leisure time, so communication was not absent.
Moreover, during the Alchemy process... the two had quite a bit of exchange.
Wang Mu originally intended for Mo Xilan to not participate in the Ascension ceremony, but unfortunately, no matter how much Alchemy was done, Mo Xilan didn’t let her guard down even slightly.
"I suppose you’ve met them?" Mo Xilan suddenly asked.
"Hmm?"
"I want to ask a question..."
"What is it?"
"With whom are you happier being with?"
"..."
As a Cultivator, having lived for millennia, the emotion of happiness, typical of mortals, rarely surfaces.
For a Cultivator, what constitutes happiness?
Wang Mu sighed internally; he didn’t know what happiness was. Before meeting them, there was only pressure and fear.
Later, upon vaguely realizing his peculiar Attribute as their tool for Ascension, the source of happiness became very elusive...
Seeing Wang Mu not answering.
"What? Can’t even answer this?" Mo Xilan tugged at his sleeve.
Wang Mu thought for a moment and said:
"The time spent with you was the longest."
Wang Mu calculated the time: a month practicing swordsmanship with Heroine Yan, about half a month discussing Dao with Demoness Mu at Fengyue Sect, less than half a month observing Bibo Sea at Sealing God Mountain, only Alchemy here at Dan King Sect took two months...
Saying the longest time, that’s no problem.
Mo Xilan was stunned, her face slightly heated, immediately waved her hand:
"I don’t believe it, you leave immediately!"
Wang Mu nodded, about to leave, and suddenly turned around as if remembering something:
"I’ve sensed some nuances in your Alchemy Dao, but still don’t understand some of it."
"Hmm." Mo Xilan turned her head, "If you don’t understand, so be it. After the Ascension ceremony, there’ll be plenty of opportunities for me to explain to you."
"Are you not afraid of me intervening?" Wang Mu asked, "Several Ascension Experts fighting, not afraid of causing unrest in the Nine Provinces?"
"You?" Mo Xilan giggled, "Brother Dongfang, with your current strength, you’re not enough to threaten us. Just watch!"
Wang Mu flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Underestimate me, do you? Just wait and see.
Leaving Dan King Sect, Wang Mu breathed a long sigh of relief internally.
"Better return to Anle Village first."
"The karma of the four has been almost entirely absorbed; this way, they should be able to contemplate the Crossing Tribulation."
"Return to Anle Village and use the Heavenly Control Scripture, utilizing the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique with the karma of the four, to cultivate to the highest Realm. If Piao Miaoxu saw this, she’d be envious to no end..."
She probably never imagined she could use the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique she provided, in just a few months’ time, to reach this extent.
With the millennium karma of four Ascension Experts, she likely never even considered it.
On the road, Wang Mu pondered this final step.
Just then, a message came through the Divine Light Mirror.
[Moon God: Kid, what have you been doing recently? The emotional tribulation upon you, it’s becoming more and more terrifying...]
[Wang Mu: How terrifying?]
[Moon God: Hard to say, but much stronger than before. Have you done something again? How do you plan to deal with it?]
[Wang Mu: I’m in control.]
[Moon God: Haha, don’t you dare die easily, I haven’t finished listening to that story yet.]
[Moon God: By the way, I got news, I might be promoted soon! In some time, I won’t be managing marital bonds anymore.]
[Wang Mu: Then what will you be managing?]
[Moon God: Not telling you.]
Wang Mu looked a few times, this Immortal getting promoted, managing marital bonds in the Upper Realm probably isn’t a big position, right?
[Moon God: The story you mentioned of the Imperial Princess and the little Strategist, I might not have the chance to hear the end. Once promoted, leaving Moon Palace, I’ll head elsewhere, and might not be able to contact you via the Divine Light Mirror. How about telling me the end of that story?]
Wang Mu saw this coming, waiting for me here, huh?
[Wang Mu: Sure.]
Wang Mu sighed lightly, involuntarily recalling the last glimpse of the Imperial Princess, no, of Empress Xiao Li.
Upon completing the Dynasty line’s unique ending, triggering the CG, Dragon Throne Binding King’s Wife, the game showcased no ending.
As for the sentence Xiao Li asked:
"Will sir become my one and only Regent King in the future?"
As the protagonist, no opportunity arises to answer, showing the CG directly.
Of course, following the subsequent displayed ending, no rejection nor acceptance occurs.
Instead, disappearing as a character becomes an implicit answer.
Initially, Wang Mu wasn’t very satisfied with this ending; later, due to the strategy, the game repeated too many times, strategy became secondary, achievements became more primary, thus the occurrence of this ending fell within expectations, causing no dissatisfaction.
