Chapter 780 - 778: Cold-Hearted and Ungrateful?
After Hui Chen comes the City God of Yanjing.
Qu Qing, covered in blood, was slumped in the distance.
"Brother Mo Lin, your ghost is a bit outrageous."
Qu Qing showed a very helpless smile.
He was referring to the Ghost Mother.
"This was beyond my expectations too." Mo Lin’s surprise was just as much as Qu Qing’s.
Chen Xi stood aside, arms crossed over his chest, and said softly.
"Actually... I contributed too."
Mo Lin turned his head in surprise to look at Chen Xi.
Was Chen Xi jealous?
Did he feel Mo Lin was biased?
"You’re impressive too." Mo Lin praised Chen Xi, aiming for fairness.
Chen Xi’s expression noticeably relaxed after hearing Mo Lin’s words.
"The Ghost Mother, she is stronger than me."
Chen Xi thought for a moment, then answered seriously.
Just now, those five-colored stones were items for slaying ghost gods.
Even Chen Xi could not withstand an attack from those five-colored stones.
Unexpectedly, the Ghost Mother caught them and even consumed them.
Chen Xi didn’t say more, slowly disappearing from Mo Lin’s sight.
Mo Lin dispersed his power, and all the ghosts from Chu Xing returned to Beihai.
These ghosts needed to consume vast amounts of Ghost Qi to move.
Moreover, the stronger the ghost, the more Ghost Qi it consumed.
Nowadays, only Beihai is suitable for these ghosts to reside.
Qu Qing, covered in blood, lay flat on the ground. If Mo Lin hadn’t arrived in time, he would already be dead.
"Brother Mo Lin, thank you." Qu Qing thanked Mo Lin.
"We’re all friends. You’ve helped me before too, no need to be so polite." Mo Lin slowly replied to Qu Qing.
The battle concluded with Mo Lin as the final winner.
In the distance, Hui Chen was consolidating his power as the City God.
Qu Qing, with his injuries, won’t have any fighting strength for a while.
"What are your plans next, Mo Lin?"
Qu Qing lay on the ground and slowly said to Mo Lin: "This place in the East District is gradually becoming unsuitable for humans.
You should plan for the future early."
"Once I’ve killed the Evil Buddha and exterminated the Evil Spirit, I’ll leave the East District." Mo Lin seriously replied to Qu Qing.
Qu Qing gasped.
Such arrogant words could only be spoken by Mo Lin.
Similarly, only Mo Lin could say such words.
Qu Qing gave Mo Lin a thumbs up and said: "I support you.
Of course, I can only support you mentally."
Regarding strength, Qu Qing simply couldn’t help much.
"Hey..."
A reprimanding voice pulled Mo Lin back to reality from his thoughts of destroying the Evil Buddha and slaying the Evil Spirit.
"Mo Lin, I didn’t expect you to be so heartless."
Immediately, they heard an angry scolding.
Speaking was a young woman, dressed in light gray clothes, quite pretty.
Not ugly, but lacking the special aura of Six-Eared Mingyue and Yun Xue’xue.
As soon as Mo Lin saw this woman, he recognized her.
Liuer Mingxi, it was she who brought Six-Eared Mingyue to meet Mo Lin initially.
"My cousin went to such lengths to help you, defying the clan’s orders to help you seize a strand of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao’s Divinity.
And this is how you treat her?"
"Ah?" Mo Lin was stunned for dozens of seconds, not expecting he had done something so atrocious.
"What did I do?"
"Playing dumb."
Liuer Mingxi’s hands were on her hips, her face flushed with anger, clearly having held it back en route, she repeated her question
"My cousin helped you seize True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao’s Divinity, and this is how you treat her?"
"Can you clarify a bit more, how did I treat her?" Mo Lin asked Liuer Mingxi.
"Do you know my cousin defied the clan’s orders?" Liuer Mingxi asked Mo Lin.
"I know." Mo Lin nodded.
At the time, Six-Eared Mingyue didn’t listen to the clan’s orders, using the clan treasure to help Mo Lin acquire the Divinity of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.
This matter, Mo Lin knew at the time.
"Did you allow members of the clan to take Six-Eared Mingyue away?" Liuer Mingxi asked Mo Lin again.
"Yes." Mo Lin nodded.
At the time, there were people from the Six-Eared Race who wanted to take Six-Eared Mingyue away; she was taken away right in front of Mo Lin.
After confirming these facts, Liuer Mingxi got even angrier.
"Why didn’t you protect my cousin?
Do you know because of your affairs, my cousin is now in a very awkward position within the Six-Eared Race?
Even the clan treasure was confiscated."
"I..." Mo Lin initially wanted to explain something but swallowed his words before they came out.
"I’m sorry..."
This matter was indeed something he hadn’t considered thoroughly.
"Why did you come to me?" Mo Lin was clear; Liuer Mingxi didn’t come solely to vent her anger.
"You’re coming with me to Hai City, to take my cousin away."
Liuer Mingxi slowly said to Mo Lin: "Now the Six-Eared Race has no place for her.
Once the Six-Eared Race and the Postnatal Race form a family alliance, my cousin will be completely abandoned."
Perhaps worrying about Mo Lin refusing, Liuer Mingxi added.
"My cousin helped you, surely you won’t refuse such a small favor, will you?"
Mo Lin showed a very helpless smile, even without Liuer Mingxi playing the emotional card, he would still take care of Six-Eared Mingyue’s affairs.
"Alright, I’ll go to Hai City with you."
So Mo Lin followed Liuer Mingxi to Hai City.
....
Hai City is now the territory of the Six-Eared Race.
In a courtyard.
The house was draped with red cloth.
Red lanterns hung at the door.
Today was a festive day.
These were just for show.
The Postnatal Race had come to the Six-Eared Race with a marriage proposal.
Everyone knew the two families would ally.
But the necessary formalities still took place.
In the yard, the people of the Postnatal Race and the Six-Eared Race chatted amiably.
They talked and laughed.
Only Six-Eared Mingyue was out of place.
Everyone knew she had a grudge against the Postnatal Race.
The one betrothed to her family was the one who deceived her feelings, stealing her Bloodline Immortal Technique.
Six-Eared Mingyue scanned the crowd from the Postnatal Race but didn’t see the one who deceived her feelings and stole her Bloodline Magic.
Six-Eared Mingyue’s movements in the courtyard weren’t restricted.
But because she disobeyed the clan’s orders and helped Mo Lin acquire the Divinity of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.
Now she was punished, the clan treasure was confiscated, and she wasn’t allowed to leave the building.
"After our families unite, what will happen to her?" Hou Wuqi pointed at Six-Eared Mingyue in the distance and asked the middle-aged man before him.
The middle-aged man’s bangs were white, his single ear split into three lobes, and his eyes were black.
This kind of ear was characteristic of the Six-Eared Race.
"Don’t worry, she’ll disappear after our families unite." Liu Er Qin said coldly.
He spoke plainly, without any concealment.
In the distance, Six-Eared Mingyue trembled as she heard their conversation.
She was ultimately to be abandoned.
This marriage alliance brought one requirement from the Postnatal Race.
They wanted Six-Eared Mingyue to disappear.
Previously, Six-Eared Mingyue killed a member of the Postnatal Race in the Nightmare Realm.
Later, Six-Eared Mingyue helped Mo Lin acquire the Divinity of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Profound Dao.
So the Postnatal Race wanted Six-Eared Mingyue dead.
Of course, this was just one reason.
"Is the one who wants Six-Eared Mingyue to disappear?" Liu Er Qin referred to the one from the Postnatal Race who had stolen Six-Eared Mingyue’s Bloodline Immortal Technique.
He was the one who deceived Six-Eared Mingyue’s feelings.
"Yes, it’s him." Hou Wuqi nodded.
