Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 899 Lover or the Great Dao?

Chapter 899 Lover or the Great Dao?

"Give me back my freedom!"

Like a trapped beast, Ye Xishui lunged at Mu En with bared teeth and claws.

With a thought, Mu En sent down pillars of light around Ye Xishui, encircling her.

"Moun!!"

Ye Xishui's fierce roar echoed within Mu En's domain. The usually fiercely competitive Ye Xishui was instantly overwhelmed by boundless fear when she saw Mu En pointing his finger at Long Xiaoyao's neck.

She was scared.

Even the mighty Death God Douluo felt fear.

She was afraid of losing Long Xiaoyao, of losing her lover.

"No! Mu En! Don't lay a hand on Xiaoyao! If you're so capable, come at me!" Ye Xishui dared not use her soul power. Mu En's fingertips were already pressed against Long Xiaoyao's carotid artery. Even though she had the cultivation of a Limit Douluo, she had no confidence in saving Long Xiaoyao.

Both being Limit Douluo, Mu En's speed surpasses hers.

"Xi Shui, speaking of which, how many years have we known each other?" Mu En said with a touch of emotion.

"I don't remember!" Ye Xishui said coldly, her gaze never leaving Long Xiaoyao.

Mu En snapped his fingers, and several beams of light wrapped around Long Xiaoyao.

Ye Xishui's eyes widened immediately, and she hurriedly said, "Two hundred and three years!"

Mu En manipulated the light element to help Long Xiaoyao assume a posture and sit cross-legged.

"Why are you so nervous?" Moon smiled.

"Xi Shui, you weren't the type to let yourself be dragged down like this before. Have you forgotten your principles?"

Mu En's words gradually brought back memories of Ye Xishui's past.

Ye Xishui fell silent, her hands gripping the pillar of condensed light elements with limp strength.

Seeing Ye Xishui, who was usually so assertive, looking like a defeated cat, Mu En secretly felt smug. The heart-wrenching techniques that Nan Xiao taught him were really effective.

However, Mu En's goal was not to win against Ye Xishui in words.

Rather, it was preparation for breaking through her obsession.

"I believe you haven't forgotten your path, but why didn't you remove the stumbling blocks in your way, but instead chose to embrace them?"

"I am old now. You were wary of Xiaoyao being in my hands and didn't use your full strength. But I used all my strength just to block two of your moves."

"No one in this world can stop you now."

"The world is at your fingertips, and everything in it is something you can pick up at will. Your path has been smooth sailing. What has made you stop? Death God Douluo!"

Ye Xishui suddenly raised her head, her sharp eyes fixed on Mu En. "You want to threaten me with Xiaoyao's life! To threaten me into not continuing my pursuit of the Path?"

Upon hearing this, Mu En spread his hands and said, "That's right, I'm laying my cards on the table. Either you continue to pursue your path alone, refine vengeful spirits, harm the world, and research your Death God Soul Guidance Device."

"Either you swear a solemn oath never to do evil spirit master things again in this life, and stay with this old guy for the rest of your lives. With your cultivation, you have a long time ahead of you."

"Now that I've said all that, you choose one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light element quietly climbed up Long Xiaoyao's neck.

"No! Mu En! I beg you, please don't hurt Xiaoyao! Let him go!" Ye Xishui pounded on the sacred pillar with all her might, even banging her head against it.

Long Xiaoyao's eyes quietly moistened.

He only sealed his ability to move, but his five senses remained intact.

Ye Xishui's screams pierced his heart.

However, he couldn't reveal any flaws, not only for Ye Xishui's future but also for his own cheap grand-disciple.

He had been infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult for many years, just to accompany Ye Xishui and help her resolve her inner conflicts and obsessions.

This obsession stems from the fact that the two holy dragons broke their promise back then.

Because of their guilt towards their brother, the two Holy Dragons tacitly chose to run away. They both believed that as long as they didn't show up, Xi Shui would follow the other and live happily ever after.

However, the brothers' tacit understanding made Ye Xishui feel like she was a commodity that could be passed around. She was not important, and the three of them had been friends for so many years, but it was all fake.

In addition, she was framed by the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult at the time, which caused her physical and mental trauma. When she was on the verge of despair, she was betrayed by the two Holy Dragons. Under the intense mental stimulation, her spiritual sea collapsed and she fell into boundless darkness.

His intense emotions were completely dominated by anger and hatred. This madness gave rise to a new Grim Reaper and a demonic scythe on the continent.

After learning of the birth of the Grim Reaper, the two Holy Dragons realized that they had made the same choice, and they deeply regretted it.

But at that time, Ye Xishui had already fallen into complete madness.

She couldn't hear a word the two holy dragons said.

Only when they both went all out did they realize how terrifying Ye Xishui's strength was; even the two of them combined were no match for her.

To ensure his safety, Long Xiaoyao decides to venture into the Netherworld alone and fall into depravity with Ye Xishui, while Mu En, as the visible figurehead, steps in to counterbalance the Holy Spirit Cult.

Until today.

After witnessing Moon's indifferent expression multiple times, Ye Xishui seemed to turn into a statue, no longer moving.

Moon wasn't in a hurry; his territory could hold out for a while longer.

Time seemed imperceptible within the realm, yet Ye Xishui's heart was tormented time and time again.

It's a choice between the strength you rely on for survival and the companionship of your loved one.

The reason she was so obsessed with researching soul tools was actually because she wasn't powerful enough back then.

If she is powerful enough, will she not be bound by the Holy Spirit Cult?

As for expanding and developing the Holy Spirit Cult, that was purely because she needed experimental subjects.

Materials are needed for the experiment to continue.

However, she basically didn't conduct any experiments during this period.

She and Long Xiaoyao lived a normal life.

Although sometimes things get chaotic, she feels a sense of peace and a feeling of home.

If I let go now, can she accept it?

Is the experiment completely over?

She was just one step away from discovering the ultimate path.

how to choose?

Although Ye Xishui was struggling internally, her body had already made its decision, pointing towards Long Xiaoyao without much hesitation.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Mu En's eyes.

Ye Xishui ultimately chose to revert to being human rather than becoming a Grim Reaper.

"Swear an oath. If you don't, I won't believe a single word you say," Moon said calmly.

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Xishui raised her head, glared at Mu En with resentment, then clenched her left hand. "I, Ye Xishui, swear to the heavens! I will never betray my beloved Long Xiaoyao in this life! For him, I am willing to give up the Holy Spirit Cult and abandon my research on soul tools!"

"And also give up the act of blaspheming the soul." Mu En reached out and slapped Long Xiaoyao on the shoulder, suppressing the guy who was about to lose his temper.

"I know!" Ye Xishui roared, then added Mu Enti's words to her oath.

"Well, let me add one more thing: from now on, stay away from Ye Nanxiao, at least tens of thousands of miles away." Mu En gave a standard smile.

Ye Xishui instantly exploded, "That's enough! What do you want?!"

That intensely rich substance, as if it were a tiny being born from a naturally pure and nourishing essence, had been waiting for many years.

Mu En's expression turned cold. "What do I want? Ye Xishui, do you know that Ye Nanxiao has already inherited the old man's physical inheritance? He became his disciple by bowing three times and offering tea? Did you know that?"

"You don't know because you only care about yourself!"

The calm words stirred up a huge wave in Ye Xishui's heart.

The pure tonic he had his eye on turned out to be his lover's apprentice?

Is he a personally trained disciple who bows three times and offers tea, or a disciple who is casually appointed on a whim?

Seeing the blank expression on Ye Xishui's face, Mu En understood. The old man had really gotten into Ye Xishui's heart during this time. In that case, things would be easier.

"Xi Shui, you're trying to ensure that Xiao Yao's skills are lost forever, it's like killing his descendants!"

A disciple who is personally taught is, to some extent, equivalent to a parent or child.

This is especially true for elderly people who have no descendants.

Although I don't know why Ye Xishui wants to capture Ye Nanxiao, I must make a vow to her today.

Mu En also wondered if Ye Xishui had her eye on Ye Nanxiao's powerful soul.

But whatever her purpose, Moon must not let her continue.

My old friend, please use my broken life to exchange for your cessation of evil deeds.

Moon's words were like a hammer blow, striking Ye Xishui's heart like a lake.

He actually wanted to kill Xiaoyao's personal disciple?

Is the legacy of carefree wandering to be severed?!

Are you going to let your loved one down?!

Do not!

"Impossible! You're lying to me! Xiaoyao... Xiaoyao even promised to help me!" Ye Xishui struggled desperately, as if grasping at a straw.

However, Moon's next words sent a chill down her spine.

"I feel sorry for Xiaoyao. Between his personal disciple and you, he chose you. Guess what he will do after he brings his descendants to you?" Mu En shook his head and sighed.

Nanxiao, what I said today was just for the sake of the plan. The old man had no such intention. I apologize in advance.

What will he do next?

This sentence kept echoing in Ye Xishui's mind.

If Ye Nanxiao is truly captured, Xiaoyao will surely be devastated.

What will happen?

To destroy your own hope is heartbreak.

If your heart is dead, what's the point of living?

Moreover, she knew Long Xiaoyao well; this man, who valued loyalty and relationships, would never forgive her.

He will end his own life!

"No... Xiaoyao!" Ye Xishui suddenly struggled violently, her body radiating red light as she tried to forcefully break free from Mu En's restraints.

"Xi Shui, you're so stubborn. In the end, you'll only hurt yourself. Now that you and Xiao Yao have resolved your differences, wouldn't it be better to spend the rest of your days together? You should be happy to have him back, but instead, you're going to abandon him again." Mu En shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Seeing Ye Xishui swaying precariously, he knew the final moment was approaching.

"Let Xiaoyao go."

"Impossible! I will never leave Xiaoyao!" Ye Xishui rammed her head against the sacred pillar, her hair disheveled, her appearance completely devoid of any of the grim reaper's majesty.

"As long as you still harbor the desire to capture Ye Nanxiao, you cannot stay by Xiaoyao's side!"

"Unless you swear to stay away from Ye Nanxiao!"
