Chapter 1165: I'll Remember You for a Lifetime
"If I disappeared from your life... would you... miss me?"
Mu Yunxi's words echoed once more in the evening breeze, carrying a trace of gentleness.
However, when these words reached Qin Tian's ears, he was taken aback, and the smile that had been on his face suddenly became a little stiff.
Having known her for quite a while, Qin Tian understood Mu Yunxi's nature. At this moment, her saying such words was definitely not a joke.
"You called me out just to ask me this question?"
Qin Tian still did not directly answer Mu Yunxi's question, asking instead, "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"
Mu Yunxi chuckled softly and said, "You still don't want to answer me... haha, then maybe I'm being overly sentimental."
"I will, I will miss you."
In the darkness, Qin Tian couldn't see Mu Yunxi's face, but he gave her his most resolute answer.
And then, Mu Yunxi fell silent.
She also knew that Qin Tian's words were not meant as a joke.
"Where are you going? Overseas?"
Qin Tian frowned, "Aren't you going to do charity work? Haven't we already partnered up? Are you still leaving?"
"Perhaps, this is fate."
Mu Yunxi sighed and said, "Maybe I am destined not to belong here."
"Then where do you belong?"
"I... I don't belong to Earth."
"Hiss..."
Qin Tian was stunned, surprised, "What do you mean? You're leaving Earth? Don't tell me you're going to become an astronaut and board a spacecraft."
"I don't have such grand ambitions. The place I need to go, perhaps, even a spacecraft cannot reach. It's a magical world, even if I told you, you would not..."
"You're not planning to go to the Spiritual Domain, are you?!"
Before Mu Yunxi could finish her sentence, Qin Tian interrupted with a tone of astonishment and surprise, "Don't tell me you're going there!"
A few days ago, Mu Yunxi had asked Qin Tian about immortality cultivators, and then mysteriously found a mysterious immortality cultivator to rescue Zhou Yang, who could easily defeat Matsushma Kaede. This made Qin Tian couldn't help but think that this mysterious immortality cultivator might be like Yun Menghan, from the mysterious Spiritual Domain!
Mu Yunxi was stunned.
"You, you know that place?"
She never expected Qin Tian to know about the Spiritual Domain.
"Tell me first, are you going there?"
"Yes... going to the Spiritual Domain. Once I leave, perhaps I will never return here for the rest of my life."
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian felt a bit of a lump in his throat, wanting to say something but feeling uncomfortable and unable to speak.
Mu Yunxi's words echoed in his mind: perhaps, never to return here again in a lifetime...
He exhaled deeply, saying, "The Spiritual Domain... The Spiritual Domain is a good place. It is said that immortality cultivators run rampant there, with all sorts of magical sects and creatures, and spirit pills beyond our imagination. It's like the world from a wuxia novel, a completely ancient world... You go there, you're not an immortality cultivator; I'm afraid you'll be bullied."
"I have had no one to protect me since I was young; even if I go to the Spiritual Domain, I'm not afraid of being bullied. I belong there..."
"You belong there? Are you... someone from the Spiritual Domain?"
"Sort of... an abandoned infant from the Spiritual Domain, hehe, my trip to Earth is over, time to go back."
"Time to go back... You've been here for over twenty years, is there really no one you'll miss? It sounds like you're relieved..."
"There is. When I'm gone, Jin Xing and Yuzi, Qin Tian, I'd trouble you to look after them for me."
"You can count on me, Jin Xing is like a sister-in-law to me. Ahem, do you just care about the two of them?"
"Otherwise? Should I also be concerned about a heartless pig?"
"Um..."
Seeing Qin Tian awkwardly freeze, Mu Yunxi chuckled softly.
Yet Qin Tian couldn't bring himself to laugh. Mu Yunxi was leaving, leaving permanently, making him feel a sense of loss.
To say Qin Tian had no feelings for Mu Yunxi would certainly be false.
Qin Tian's first time was taken by Mu Yunxi; Mu Yunxi was Qin Tian's first woman, not quite a first love... What man could forget that?
Moreover, later to detoxify Qin Tian, Mu Yunxi presumably had a relationship with Qin Tian again, she just never wanted to admit it.
Qin Tian wanted to retain her but couldn't find a reason.
Mu Yunxi is an orphan on Earth, she essentially belongs to the Spiritual Domain, now returning home, how could he retain her?
Besides, it now seemed Mu Yunxi had already resolved to return, Qin Tian knew deep down that no matter what he said, she would likely leave...
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Noticing Qin Tian's silence, Mu Yunxi asked softly.
"Ah... yes, I do. Well, you don't have to worry about things on Earth, I'm here. Hmm, I know you're going home, whatever I say you're sure to go. Besides, for someone who practices martial arts, going to the domain is greatly beneficial, so... go over there, train diligently, don't be too aloof, it's not good to offend others, take care of yourself..."
Qin Tian's mind was a bit muddled, saying whatever came to his mind.
"I know."
Mu Yunxi simply replied after listening.
"Hmm, Qin Tian, you're also an immortality cultivator, will you... come to the Spiritual Domain one day?"
Mu Yunxi paused in silence, "In the Spiritual Domain World, only immortality cultivators or those who originally belong to the Spiritual Domain can go there... You already meet this condition, so... will you come to see me one day?"
"If I can come, I definitely will."
Qin Tian said without hesitation, "As long as you're an immortality cultivator, can you definitely go to the Spiritual Domain?"
"I don't think so. I heard there are other conditions, but I'm not very clear. I am leaving with someone named Yun Lou; he is a master of cultivation, and I don't know where in the Spiritual Domain he will take me. I only know he has been looking for me for three years on Earth."
"Perhaps your family misses you. He must be someone from your family, with such a master protecting you, I am relieved. You can go at ease, I'll strive hard to have the qualification to go to the Spiritual Domain one day, then we shall meet there, haha, you better fulfill the host's duty and treat me to a meal."
"As long as you come, I will take care of you."
Mu Yunxi replied softly and then stepped further, proactively reaching out to hold Qin Tian's hand.
Qin Tian was a bit stunned but didn't pull away.
The two stood within arm's reach, a sense of ambiguous atmosphere between them.
Qin Tian was filled with complex emotions, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from Mu Yunxi's body. Before he could speak, he felt Mu Yunxi pinch his hand and said with deep emotion:
"Qin Tian, you naughty boy, taking advantage of me, I'll remember you for a lifetime!"
