Chapter 327: He Had Only One Choice From The Start

As soon as Xu Xiang’s words came out, Mu Yucheng’s body froze. Following her in a daze, Mu Yucheng looked blankly at their hands and thought: ’Xiang’er... She... She won’t really leave me, will she?’

Not knowing how anxious her boyfriend was, Xu Xiang calmly led him to the purple bamboo forest they had planted together before they left for the Qin Kingdom. She looked around, then pulled him to sit with her on a large tree stump.

Xu Xiang held Mu Yucheng’s hand, looked at him and said, "Yucheng, I–"

Before she could say anything, Mu Yucheng said hastily: "Let me talk first."

Seeing his serious expression, Xu Xiang nodded and said, "All right. You say."

He held her hand tightly, took a deep breath, looked at her, and said seriously: "I don’t want to break up."

Xu Xiang was dumbfounded after hearing his words. Seeing her looking at him in surprise, Mu Yucheng knew that he had guessed right. He pursed his lips tightly, suppressing his emotions. After calming down, he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn’t say anything for a long time.

Xu Xiang patiently waited for him to talk, but instead of speaking, he seemed even more anxious and at a loss. Seeing Mu Yucheng, who had always been calm, became so flustered that he couldn’t even speak, Xu Xiang was both happy and sad at the same time.

She sighed and thought: ’If I really died after three years, what would happen to him?’

Seeing the change in her eyes that were looking at him, Mu Yucheng’s heart sank and he blurted out: "If you dare to leave me, I will die for you to see."

Hearing what he said just now, Xu Xiang’s face darkened as she felt angry and funny. How dare he threaten her with his life? He really doesn’t want his reputation as Tian Jian Sect’s chief disciple and eldest senior brother, does he?

Xu Xiang laughed out of anger, looked at him, gritted her teeth and slowly said, "You... Repeat what you just said."

Realizing he just said the wrong thing, Mu Yucheng said quickly: "No, Xiang’er, I–"

Xu Xiang raised her hand to interrupt him, took a deep breath to calm down and said, "Since you have said what you want to say, it’s my turn to speak."

When Mu Yucheng saw her expression, he obediently shut his mouth and sat there like an abandoned puppy. Seeing his obedient appearance, Xu Xiang’s anger dissipated a little bit, and she asked, "You must have heard the conversation between me and that woman, right?"

Mu Yucheng lowered his eyes and nodded, then Xu Xiang said, "What she said is true."

As soon as she said this, Mu Yucheng raised his eyes to look at her. Xu Xiang saw the strong denial and disbelief in his eyes.

She sighed and asked, "Do you know why I insist on going back to my world?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Yucheng answered softly: ".... I don’t know."

"I have two reasons to go back. My first reason is to save my elder brother. I want to recreate a body for him, and to do that, I need to find someone because only he can save my elder brother. The second reason is because only by gaining the ability to strengthen my body can I live past twenty three years old. And only by returning to my own world can I obtain that ability." She explained calmly.

Taking out a vial of body strengthening solution from the space, Xu Xiang said, "This is a body strengthening solution. Do you remember that time after we left the cave in Qing Zhu Village?"

"Mhm, I remember."

"I told you back then that I was born weak. I didn’t lie to you. In my world, a newborn baby was born after combining the DNA of both parents. Unfortunately, before my DNA was complete, something happened that caused me to be born with incomplete DNA. Only by injecting this medicine regularly can I live a normal life. Unfortunately, the more medication I take, the shorter the injection time. When the drugs don’t work anymore, all I can do is wait for death." After saying all this, she sighed again.

Mu Yucheng, who was sitting beside her, was in a state of confusion and unable to digest what she just said. Xu Xiang put the body strengthening solution back into her space, looked at him and said, "I want and must return to my world. If I can’t return to my world, then I can only wait for death, and my elder brother, he won’t even have a chance to live. But until that day comes, I will do my best to return to my world."

Thinking that Mu Yucheng needed time to think, Xu Xiang said, "Since you already know that I have only three years left and must return to my world, you should reconsider our relationship. It’s not fair for you to sacrifice yourself for me, and I couldn’t stay here with you either. So, Yucheng, you should think about this carefully. No matter what your decision is, it should be because of you, and not because of me. Don’t make a decision that you will regret in the future."

After speaking, she let go of his hand and walked away. Mu Yucheng stared blankly at his empty hands, raised his head, and saw her walking away. Looking at her back, the image of her leaving him in the forest overlapped with her figure in front of him at this moment. Seeing her leave without looking back, his pain at this moment is countless times more painful than when he suffered backlash during cultivation.

At that time in the forest, when she walked away, he only thought that he didn’t like to see her walking away. But now, he knew that if he let her go, he would lose her, and he would regret it for the rest of his life. He clenched his hands and chuckled, knowing he had only one choice from the start.
