Chapter 699 - 697: Who Doesn’t Have a Temper?
"I don’t have such powerful means," Mo Lin answered honestly.
Back when Mo Lin changed his fate at the Great Spirit Mountain, it was sheer luck.
As for Mo Lin, he definitely did not have the ability to swap his life with someone else’s to save himself.
"How could that be!"
Hu Haqi frowned, his expression shocked, his tone flustered.
"Weren’t you the one who survived by changing fate at the Great Spirit Mountain?
How could you not know such powerful methods?
You must be lying to me, right?"
This feeling was akin to losing someone dearly beloved and refusing to accept reality.
That panic deep down in his bones.
"No," Mo Lin shook his head and reiterated.
Hu Haqi’s pupils were vacant, muttering to himself, "How could this be!
Why isn’t there a way to change fate?"
Next to him, Feng Guo was better at accepting reality and didn’t react intensely.
Hu Haqi looked at Mo Lin, opening his mouth, at that moment, he desperately wanted to beg Mo Lin not to go to Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.
But he couldn’t speak, nor did he know how to stop Mo Lin.
And so, the group set off again to Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.
The atmosphere froze to the freezing point.
Hu Haqi and the others looked as if they’d lost a loved one, their expressions couldn’t be worse.
The entire time, they kept their heads down, saying nothing.
Hu Haqi walked for a while, looked up at Mo Lin, then continued walking, and looked at Mo Lin again.
The entire way, he kept repeating this action.
"Hey..."
A gentle voice suddenly appeared.
Where no one had been, suddenly a figure appeared.
She was a woman dressed in yellow.
This woman’s appearance was exquisite, her pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes seemed capable of seducing everything.
Her pink eyelashes were particularly captivating.
Without giving Mo Lin a chance to react, the woman in yellow walked over to Mo Lin.
"What do you mean, acting like you don’t know me?" The woman questioned Mo Lin.
Hu Haqi beside them showed a shocked expression.
Looking at the woman’s eyes, there was no sign of being enchanted.
Only fear.
The person before them was no ordinary person.
An immortal from Immortal Island, Huang Qi.
Her status was far superior to Consort Ji.
"Returning to the East District without seeing me, what does it mean?"
Huang Qi blinked her pink eyelashes, her face full of resentment.
If it were an ordinary person, they’d already be completely mesmerized by her.
"What a coincidence, you’re here too?" Mo Lin did not expect Huang Qi to be here.
"Hehe..."
Huang Qi snorted coldly.
Huang Qi knew Mo Lin was heading to Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain, this was a must-pass way.
She had been waiting here for Mo Lin.
Raising her index finger, Huang Qi tapped Mo Lin’s chest, making a teasing gesture.
"Tsk...
Be my husband, and I will settle the matter of Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain for you."
As she spoke, Huang Qi intentionally moved closer to Mo Lin and said slowly, "As long as I step in, I guarantee, no one would dare touch you on Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain."
Actually, her words were a bit exaggerated.
But Huang Qi was indeed capable of protecting Mo Lin.
"Thank you, I can handle it myself," Mo Lin thanked Huang Qi.
It’s not that Mo Lin wasn’t tactful.
These matters, Mo Lin could only handle himself.
You might avoid danger temporarily, but you can’t hide forever.
Huang Qi’s expression turned instantly unpleasant; she said coldly to Mo Lin, "Hey... Mo Lin.
I’m not limited to choosing you.
Now in the East District, there are plenty of people better than you.
Many wish to be my husband.
You will lose this opportunity forever if you pass it up."
Huang Qi wasn’t exaggerating.
Indeed, many wished to be her husband now.
Among them were people stronger than Mo Lin.
Huang Qi’s attitude was completely an open confession.
Mo Lin wasn’t one to be greedy.
He had no idea how to handle Huang Qi’s demeanor.
Seeing Mo Lin silent, Huang Qi sighed softly, "Is it because of Cui Xinyun?"
It was clear even with just a thought, it must be because of Cui Xinyun.
After all, Mo Lin had known Cui Xinyun longer.
Their acquaintance predates hers.
Huang Qi covered her cheek with her right hand, speaking in a helpless tone.
"Why did I choose you?"
"The ghosts of Beihai?" Mo Lin asked Huang Qi.
Mo Lin had heard that when Beihai met its destruction, Huang Qi stepped in and rescued all the ghosts of Beihai.
The ghosts of Beihai numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
They were once Mo Lin’s greatest resource.
Though hundreds of thousands of ghosts might not be particularly strong.
But under Mo Lin’s control, those hundreds of thousands could even rival Huang Qi.
Especially since Mo Lin possessed the Ghost-Controlling Technique.
Ghosts could be pushed to their limits in Mo Lin’s hands.
Huang Qi lightly furrowed her brows, hesitating, "Well, it’s complicated..."
"What’s wrong?" Mo Lin asked Huang Qi.
"The ghosts of Beihai are trapped, they can’t be released right now," Huang Qi hesitated to say.
"It’s my fault, I mistakenly trusted a friend to watch over the ghosts of Beihai for me, but he betrayed me.
Which led to the entrapment of the ghosts."
"Where are they trapped? I’ll go rescue them," Mo Lin said. If he could rescue them,
His strength would certainly see a significant increase.
"Even if you win, you would be gravely injured," Huang Qi warned Mo Lin.
If Mo Lin ended up injured, the battle at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain would be hopeless.
"Alright." Mo Lin nodded, temporarily abandoning the plan to rescue the ghosts of Beihai.
For now, the most pressing issue was to get through this disaster awaiting at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.
"Be careful, don’t die on Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain," Huang Qi reminded Mo Lin.
"I won’t die," Mo Lin clenched his teeth and said earnestly.
"Alright, you can leave," Huang Qi said with a wave of her hand, no longer stopping Mo Lin.
.....
Immortal Island Palace.
The Twelve Immortals gathered.
"Huang Qi, don’t meddle with Mo Lin’s affairs, stay out of Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain," one immortal said first.
"He’s the one I chose, I don’t want him to die," Huang Qi said slowly.
"The East District is vast, there are so many better than Mo Lin.
Why did you have to choose Mo Lin?
Can’t you choose someone else?" An immortal objected unhappily.
Huang Qi held her right hand to her cheek, seriously thinking, "Mo Lin is different from others.
Others look at me with desire in their eyes, but Mo Lin doesn’t.
I like someone pure like him."
Huang Qi had seen too many, perhaps, after encountering so many mundane people, she began to appreciate someone like Mo Lin with a hint of purity.
"Just liking someone isn’t enough.
Your little love interest is about to die at Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain," a female immortal teased.
"I will go to Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain; I want to support him," Huang Qi stood up and declared.
"As long as I am there, Mo Lin will be safe."
"Don’t be too capricious, Huang Qi."
An older immortal said slowly, "Each time you venture out, you use Immortal Island’s resources.
Do you know how hard it is to leave Immortal Island each time?"
"This time, your antics won’t be permitted."
Huang Qi could leave Immortal Island, provided she didn’t take any of its power.
Given her strength, she could depart this way.
If she took Immortal Island’s power with her, it would be a different story.
"If any of you disapprove, let’s fight it out," Huang Qi stood and shouted.
Who doesn’t have some temper?
Huang Qi was like a gunpowder keg, ready to explode at any spark.
