Chapter 499: Chapter 119 Mi Xi’s Sacrifice

Quan Shaoqing didn’t care whether Gu Xiaoxi wanted to take him away or not.

All he wanted to know was whether she had ever loved him.

They say that at Naihe Bridge, one can see a person’s past; he only wanted to take a look.

To see if he and she had a past together.

...

Not only did Quan Shaoqing look, but he also saw the past lives of Gu Xiaoxi and Mi Xi.

...

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in shock—she actually saw Mi Xi in her past life...

Adorned in a wedding gown, draped in a Phoenix Robe, the man she had married was actually Mi Xi.

And in this life, the various memories she shared with Quan Shaoqing flashed through everyone’s minds.

In an instant, Gu Xiaoxi’s heart was overwhelmed with countless kinds of sorrow and pain...

Past and present lives—

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly turned back and glared fiercely at Mi Xi, asking viciously, "Who are you, exactly?"

Yet Mi Xi stood there, smiling gracefully, and said to Quan Shaoqing, "Our affair involves three lifetimes, so it’s not something that can be explained in a short time. Since I’ve come to save you, I wasn’t planning on going back. This life, she is yours. I wasn’t supposed to appear in your life. It was you who sought me out, leaving me no choice."

"What do you mean?" Quan Shaoqing felt a suffocating pain in his chest.

"You both can go now! Since he has chosen to stay, the two of you can leave. Jump down from this Naihe Bridge, and you will return to the place from whence you came," Mi Xi explained.

But Quan Shaoqing stepped forward and grabbed Mi Xi’s arm, "What do you mean by saying this life she is mine?"

"If you want to know, you’ll have to find out the secrets of your past lives yourself," Mi Xi replied without elaborating further.

He then pushed Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing off the Naihe Bridge.

Before Gu Xiaoxi could react, as her body plunged swiftly downward, she heard Mi Xi’s voice in her ear, "Take care of Mi Luo and Mi Xue for me, I’ll be back."

*

When Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing opened their eyes again, they were at the entrance of a cave on Sacred Mountain.

Gu Xiaoxi was laying on the lawn, her face already streaked with tears.

As for why the tears were shed, she did not know herself.

"Gu Xiaoxi!" Quan Shaoqing had already risen from the ground.

He crouched beside her, looking at her with an intensity he’d never shown before.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately sat up, grabbing Quan Shaoqing’s hand and forcing a smile, "This is a dream, right? I must be dreaming!"

"Yi Chentian and Mi Xi must still be in the cave, let’s go back and rescue them," Gu Xiaoxi said, taking Quan Shaoqing’s hand and standing up.

However, Quan Shaoqing embraced her in a reversal, his long fingers clamping her chin, forcing her to look at him, "What just happened wasn’t a dream. They’ve all stayed behind in Hell."

His words struck her like a hammer.

It was all her fault, a slip of the hand had caused so many to suffer.

Mi Xi, he had jumped to save them.

If not for him, they would have perished in Hell long ago.

Gu Xiaoxi bowed her head, falling into sudden silence.

Child of God, why wasn’t her power strong enough, why?

Quan Shaoqing gripped her, seeing the tears in her eyes, the stubbornness at the corners of her mouth.

He pulled her into his embrace, hoping to offer some comfort.

He didn’t know the nature of the past they both shared with Mi Xi.

That Mi Xi could pull them back from Hell was proof enough that he had the ability to return as well.

A two-for-two must surely be a transaction; otherwise, he could have taken everyone back over the Naihe Bridge.

Why did the two of them go while Mi Xi and Yi Chentian stayed behind?

...

In the gloomy reaches of the Netherworld.

Mi Xi and Yi Chentian were brought before the Judge.

The Judge sitting beside the case table looked at Mi Xi, and with a cold laugh said, "Unexpectedly, a soul that has escaped for five hundred years, to turn oneself in for the sake of two humans."

"So, if the Netherworld cannot keep me, then I shall return to the Mortal World," Mi Xi spoke with a light tone.

The Judge slammed the table fiercely and roared, "Guards, throw him into the Eighteen Layers of Hell! Without my command, no one is permitted to visit him."

"Yes!" Trembling, two small demons stepped forward, leading Mi Xi towards Hell’s Abyss.

As Mi Xi passed by Yi Chentian, he patted his shoulder, "You’re a good man; choose Reincarnation."

Yi Chentian didn’t understand his meaning.

"Yi Chentian was just killed by Evil Ghosts in Hell’s Abyss. Now he is but a wisp of a soul. Considering your loyalty and service to the state and your family’s merits, you have the choice to either serve in the Netherworld or undergo Reincarnation," the Judge declared.

Yi Chentian immediately leaped up, "How can I be dead? Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"

The Judge, losing patience, presented him with a playback of his death.

Yi Chentian only saw, while at the Abyss of Thousands Ghosts, an evil ghost charging towards Young Master Quan. Instinctively, he stepped forward to block it.

It was in an instant, the ghost’s claw pierced through his body, ruthlessly tearing out his soul.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxi’s Fire of the Blazing Sun saved him, otherwise his soul would have been devoured by the evil ghost too.

"Damn!" Yi Chentian felt, as someone powerless, that he was very helpless.

"I choose reincarnation!" He sighed, finally understanding why Mi Xi thought he was a decent person.

When he proposed to exchange two for two, he was already a dead man, with no chance of returning.

Now, the one who sacrificed the most wasn’t him, it should be Mi Xi.

Choosing reincarnation meant he would never meet Gu Xiaoxi again.

That’s probably for the best. Loving a woman who couldn’t be loved was also a kind of pain.

...

The sky in the Mortal World gradually brightened.

Gu Xiaoxi also accepted reality.

She and Quan Shaoqing stood outside the collapsed cave, not needing to guess that the people inside hadn’t come out yet.

Quan Shaoqing immediately found a large number of people to dig open the cave.

Meanwhile, his and Gu Xiaoxi’s mission was not yet complete.

The mess Gu Feng had made could not be easily forgiven.

By nearly noon, an opening was finally dug through the collapsed cave.

Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing re-entered and rescued the people inside.

Although they were injured a bit in the Bat Cave.

Fortunately, everyone was safe.

Danny Jay had been taking care of Mi Luo the whole time.

When Mi Luo saw Gu Xiaoxi, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, where did Dad go?"

Gu Xiaoxi hugged his small body tightly, not knowing how to explain to him.

"He has gone to a faraway place, he won’t be coming back now," Gu Xiaoxi remembered what Mi Xi had said. To wait for him to return.

When Ai Xiang, Yun Xiao, and others saw Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi return, but Yi Chentian was not with them, everyone understood.

They didn’t dare to ask more!

Back in the village, indeed, the companions left in the village had disappeared.

The king who had rushed over, as well as the other members, had also vanished.

Gu Xiaoxi made arrangements for Mi Luo, Sharon, and others.

She found Quan Shaoqing and gathered Jing Rui and the rest for a meeting.

"Gu Feng must be nearby, having captured so many of us, he can’t have gone far. So, we must strike first while he has yet to think of a way to deal with us," Gu Xiaoxi said gravely.

"But we can’t find him!" Jing Rui had also suffered a great deal this time, sustaining many injuries, though none were fatal.

Gu Xiaoxi said, "Gu Feng’s strongest skill is witchcraft, and he is exceedingly cunning, just like yesterday when he lured us into that cave. It was a significant drain on us. It’s easy to find him, but the fear is, not being able to deal with him once we do."

"As long as he’s human, he has weaknesses," Quan Shaoqing said. "Didn’t you use Enchanting Smoke last time to knock him out?"

"The same method can’t be used a second time," Gu Xiaoxi explained.

"Then we use something else!" Jing Rui was also enraged. If not for Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi coming out and rescuing them,

It’s likely everyone would have died inside.

Gu Feng’s death would be no pity.

Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing plotted in secret for a while and finally decided to annihilate Gu Feng in one fell swoop if they could find him by noon.

A person like him who did evil deeds only deserved to enter Hell after death.

Gu Xiaoxi used the Fire of the Blazing Sun taught to her by Mi Xi in an attempt to find Gu Feng.

Because last time she used the Fire of the Blazing Sun, she could sense a larger area.

So, she wanted to try again.

Gu Xiaoxi cut open her finger, and blood flowed out.

Her fingertip immediately felt a scorching pain, but no flame ignited.

Naturally, Gu Xiaoxi knew the environment in the Mortal World was different from that in Hell.

So she didn’t wait for the flame to ignite at her fingertip and instead closed her eyes and released her Divine Sense.

The aura of her blood was diffusing in all directions.

With it, the range she could sense grew increasingly large.

In just an instant, it had spread to the entire Spirit Mountain.

"I’ve found him!" Gu Xiaoxi suddenly opened her eyes. But before she could finish speaking, darkness overtook her vision, and a wave of dizziness hit her.

Quan Shaoqing’s quick reflexes caught her.

Gu Xiaoxi barely stabilized herself and regained some strength before looking at everyone and saying, "He’s at the ancient altar three kilometers away, our people are tied to an old tree. He must be planning to use some Demon Art. Everyone hurry and rescue them."
