"Who did you see?"

Wang Mu was also curious. Who had he seen last? But the key was, he truly didn't know. Both this time and the last, after he shattered the Gate of Apocalypse, the image had become blurry. He vaguely seemed to have seen a figure. Judging from these two instances, perhaps only through experiences with different female leads would the image in his memory become clearer. If the figure faintly illuminated at the end was one of C, perhaps only when he encountered her would he be able to see clearly. So...

"It doesn't matter who I saw," Wang Mu said, staring at her.

He currently wanted to coax information about the Emperor Spirit Pearl out of her.

But if he asked directly, knowing her personality, she wouldn't say a word, let alone hand it over. Moreover, unlike last time, he had appeared as Dongfang Mu this time. He needed to make her believe he was the real Dongfang Mu. The Illusion Realm he had just experienced was definitely due to that elixir. Mo Xilan must have also witnessed his recent experience within the Illusion Realm. By now, she must be certain of his identity, perhaps even having figured out he was Wang Mu. Combined with his earlier words, intended to make her understand he hadn't fared well over the past thousand years, and with the Heartbreak Flower playing a small part, Wang Mu knew he certainly wouldn't die now. Mo Xilan was a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She hadn't truly killed him moments ago. In that case, she would certainly make her move now. Yes... that should be it.

"Not important?" The pale blue figure smirked.

"No," Wang Mu paused. "Because, right now, all I see is you."

The figure startled and immediately turned her head, preventing Wang Mu from seeing her cheeks, which were further flushed by the glow of the Heartbreak Flower.

"Hmph, Brother Dongfang, I don't recall you saying such things back then..." she said.

"It was brought on by longing, not spoken deliberately."

"Is this the 'longing' that led you to use an alias and come to my place to borrow medicine for Yan Qingwu?"

Enough of this! Why touch on a sore subject? Why mention this now?

"So, you really are 'longing'," the pale blue figure turned around, her eyes brimming with amusement. "All these sweet words you're saying to me now, is it because you want the Emperor Spirit Pearl from me for your Sister Bi You?"

"Well, I'm telling you, forget about it."

The pale blue figure snorted coldly. "I won't give it to you. Unless you come back with me to the Dan King Sect now and never leave, only then might I consider giving you the Emperor Spirit Pearl."

Damn it. After all these years, why is she still like this? Can't she be a bit more magnanimous? With this approach, you can only have my body, not my heart. What's the point?

Wang Mu was speechless.

There was really nothing he could do; these female leads knew each other too well. They could guess whatever he wanted.

"Nothing to say, right?" the pale blue figure said softly. "Or, you could tell me now who exactly that figure you saw at the end was. Then I might consider telling you about the Emperor Spirit Pearl..."

Why are they all so fixated on this?

Wang Mu didn't quite understand.

Was it that important? This was definitely not something he could reveal. Even if he had truly seen someone, he couldn't say. Based on his understanding of Mo Xilan, if he had seen her, she wouldn't be asking. If he hadn't seen her and mentioned someone else, she would immediately retort something like, 'So, I'm not important at all to Brother Dongfang? In that case, you can just go die...' Mentioning another woman's name in front of one, especially a petty woman like Mo Xilan, meant he could forget about ever getting the Emperor Spirit Pearl. If it had been Yan Qingwu, given her character, she would have definitely told him if he spoke the truth. But as for Mo Xilan, forget it.

"Since you're not saying, it seems it wasn't me then…" the pale blue figure said softly. "Brother Dongfang... do you still remember what I told you back then?"

"I said, 'If you ever leave me again, I will definitely find you. I'll throw you into the most dangerous place in this world, give you the deadliest poison, and make you endure endless pain and torment... When you die, I'll be buried with you!'"

"You left me for a thousand years, and now I've found you…"

"So…"

Wait, what are you going to do?

Wang Mu tried to speak but found he couldn't move at all.

The pale blue figure tapped lightly with her fingertip.

A luminous gate slowly materialized. The other side of the gate resembled a starry cosmos, its destination unknown.

"I'll start by throwing you into the most dangerous place in the world…" the pale blue figure said with a light laugh. "Fend for yourself!"

With that, she flicked her finger, tossing the Heartbreak Flower to Wang Mu.

Then, Wang Mu's body moved uncontrollably, walking slowly towards the gate.

At that moment, a chill ran down his spine.

The next second, he disappeared into the Light Gate.

Only the pale blue figure remained, watching intently, her beautiful eyes flickering faintly...

—

PHEW...

Wang Mu slowly opened his eyes, a wave of terror washing over him. His body felt slightly damp.

His surroundings gradually came into focus.

"What... is this place?"

Wang Mu blinked, looking around.

This appeared to be an island.

In the distance, the sky was shrouded in grey fog. The seawater was dark and still, like a lifeless expanse. Occasionally, a few waves would stir its surface.

Wang Mu squinted, turning to look behind him.

He was on the shore of an island.
