Chapter 234: They Are Not You

Mu Yucheng looked at the tracking device screen, and saw the red dot was far away from their position. He couldn’t understand the information on the screen at all, so he asked, "How far is Miss Huan’s position from us?"

Xu Xiang looked at the map and said, "It’s about twenty li away from here."

After finishing speaking, she looked at him and asked, "Should we go to her first, or catch the fox demon first?"

Mu Yucheng thought for a while and said, "Let’s go catch the fox demon first. I smelled the smell of blood in the inn before, so we must check to see if there are other victims beside our group. If there are, we must save them."

Xu Xiang tilted her head slightly when she heard what he said, and looked at him in puzzlement. After a while, she confusedly asked, "Why should we save strangers? We have no reason to save them. We also don’t have any obligation to save them."

Hearing what she said just now, Mu Yucheng looked at her silently. He looked into her eyes and knew she wasn’t pretending to be confused. She was really confused and didn’t understand why he wanted to save strangers.

He thought for a while and asked, "Miss Xu, why did you decide to save this world? This is not your world, and it is not your duty to save it."

"When I save this world, I can save my own world too. After everything is done, I can also return to my world." She replied without thinking.

Hearing her answer, Mu Yucheng asked again. "Then why did you decide to help the Xiuluo tribe and the Yishi tribe before?"

"They can help me save this world. I need their help to speed up the process. As I said before, I can’t do anything myself." She replied calmly.

He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then... Why did you help Young Master Xiao and Miss Huan?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "I help Xiao Shao, because it was his mother and his younger brother who helped me when I first came to this world. I just repay their kindness to me. As for Huan Yun, I help her because she came from the same world as me, and I need her talent."

After hearing her answer, Mu Yucheng fell silent again. After a long time, he looked at her and seriously asked, "What about me? Why do you share all your good things with me? Why do you care about me? You can just ignore me, and you know that I will help you no matter how you treat me. What reason do you have to be nice to me?"

When she heard his questions, she wanted to say that she was kind to him because he was helping her. But she knew he wasn’t the only one helping her. People from the Xiuluo tribe and Yishi tribe also helped her. Xiao Shao is also very kind to her.

Although Mu Yucheng is the only one who can send her back to her world, she also knows that even if she treats him badly, he will still send her back to her world. That is his duty and responsibility.

On second thought, if she just wanted him to help or teach her martial arts, she really didn’t need to do those things for him in the past. She even cooks his favorite food herself, just so he can eat more. She could literally ignore him and use him to her advantage, just like she usually does with everyone else.

But in the end, she did everything she had already done for him out of her own will. Why? Who is Mu Yucheng to her? Why does she care about him? Shouldn’t she treat him like how she treats everyone else?

Seeing her lost in thought, Mu Yucheng waited patiently for her to organize her mind. After a long time, Xu Xiang raised her head and looked at him.

She hesitated for a moment before weakly said, "I... I don’t know..."

Mu Yucheng looked at her and gently said, "Since you can treat me for no reason, why can’t you ignore gains and losses, and treat other human beings like how you treat me?"

She looked down and thought: ’They are not you. You treat me sincerely, but they won’t do the same. Besides my parents and my elder brother, you are the only one who is really kind to me without any ulterior motives.’

Although she thought so in her heart, she didn’t tell him. She raised her head, looked at him stubbornly, and said, "You don’t know how I used to live in the past, so it’s easy for you to say those words. I climb out of the pile of corpses every day, just to protect everyone. But in the end, all I got was dying without a corpse."

After speaking, she lowered her head and felt silent. Mu Yucheng looked at her tightly clenched hands, and felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He reached out to hug her, but before his hand touched her, she raised her head. He stopped and put his hands down silently.

She took a deep breath, and then said in a trembling voice: "When you experience what I have experienced, you will understand that even the closest people to you can also stab you in the back. Then you will understand that the only thing that can last forever is benefit, and the only one you can rely on is yourself."

After saying that, she turned and left. Mu Yucheng still wanted to say something to her, but Xu Xiang suddenly spoke without turning back to look at him.

"You can save anyone you want. This is your freedom, and I have no right to tell you what to do." Her voice was cold and without any emotion. Leaving this sentence behind, Xu Xiang walked away.
