NFBE Chapter 116: Deep Love, Shallow Fate
Chapter 116: Deep Love, Shallow Fate
Mu Xiaoqiao watched the two leave with a smile. Noticing Ruan Haoyu's resentful look, she made a "come on" gesture to him, then turned back with a smile.
The wizard has been standing here without moving, he must have something to do with her.
"Wizard, I know you are Ayu's adoptive father, so you can just say whatever you want to say."
Mu Xiaoqiao's straightforwardness makes the wizard like her even more. No wonder Haoyu is always around her and can't escape. Her straightforward and stubborn character always makes people feel distressed.
"In that case, I'm sorry." The wizard held a copper ball in his hand and waved it in front of Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes. She felt dizzy and then a little confused.
But modern Mu Xiaoqiao suddenly found that she could control her body and speak. She blurted out, "Jing...Wizard."
"You really saw the memories of your past life." The wizard understood. "I have seen different looks in Xiao Qiao before. I guess there should be more than one soul in her body."
"Wizard, what is going on? Why am I here, able to sense everything, but unable to control my body?"
Every time she traveled through time, she could only watch like a bystander, watching Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao in this life move towards tragedy step by step, but she was powerless to do anything. Although to her, it was like a big dream, the feeling was not very good.
"Because this is your past life, it has already happened, so you cannot control it, let alone change it. All you can control is the life you were in."
"But now..." Mu Xiaoqiao moved her hands and pinched her cheeks again.
The wizard was amused by her actions. "Now I just used the Soul Locking Bell to temporarily lock the soul of the other Mu Xiaoqiao, so you appeared, but this won't last long."
"Then what should I do?" Mu Xiaoqiao knew that nothing could go against the will of heaven. She could not change the facts, but she would never travel back to her past life for no reason. There must be some instructions from heaven for her.
"You don't have to do anything. Understand your past. It is very important for your future. Today I am just confirming your existence. When the time is right, I will tell you what to do."
The wizard waved his hand, and Mu Xiaoqiao in this life woke up. He asked in confusion, "What happened to me just now? Wizard, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Xiao Qiao, you must remember what I am going to tell you next. In this life, you and Haoyu are not destined to be together, and you may not have a good ending, but your fate with him is not limited to this life, so you don't have to be sad, just cherish every day you are together."
Mu Xiaoqiao's heart sank a little after the wizard said this. She was about to ask again, but the wizard waved his hand and left.
Only when he walked to a deserted place did he spit out a mouthful of blood. He smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "After all... the secret cannot be revealed."
He just said that one sentence and was punished by God. However, looking at these two children who had such miserable lives, how could he bear to stand by and watch without saying a word?
He has watched them for two lifetimes and has long regarded these two people as his own children. Even though he cannot change anything, he hopes that they can be happy and blessed in the limited days that they have.
Mu Xiaoqiao stood there, thinking blankly about what the wizard had just said: shallow fate, deep love... shallow fate?
Not just in this life? What does that mean? Does he mean they will be together in the next life?
But how could she control the next life? She hadn't even lived a good life in this life, so who knew what the next life would be like?
But she understood what the wizard said, that is, cherish every day they are together, so that no matter what the future holds, not leaving any regrets for yourself is the way to be responsible for your own life.
After figuring this out, Mu Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. She had no control over what the future would be like, so she should just live in the present.
Ruan Haoyu was pulled by Zhuo Sheng to the alchemy room. Looking at the rows of pill boxes on the medicine shelf in front of him, he said with a bitter face: "Master, what medicine do you want your disciple to try this time?"
Zhuo Sheng put away his playful expression at this time, took a small bottle from the second row of shelves and handed it to him, "Today, Master didn't ask you to come here to test the medicine, but to give you something."
Ruan Haoyu took the bottle suspiciously, took a look at the words on it, and asked in surprise: "Turtle Breathing Pill?"
"Yes, it is also commonly known as the fake death drug. Master has been researching it for many years and has finally succeeded recently. However, the formula of this drug is extremely complicated and the research and development is very time-consuming. Therefore, there is only one pill. How to use it is up to you."
It was so precious. Ruan Haoyu knew that it must have been made by Zhuo Sheng who worked day and night on research. How could he not understand his master's intentions?
He carefully put it in his arms, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master. I will repay your kindness with a gift of grass and a ring."
Zhuo Sheng helped him up and said, "You and I are master and disciple. There is nothing I can do to help you. I just hope you and Xiao Qiao can be happy."
Ruan Haoyu nodded. He knew that his master and adoptive father must have devoted all their efforts to him and Mu Xiaoqiao, but because of their identities, no one could do anything.
Peaceful days always pass quickly, and two years went by in the blink of an eye. During this period, Mu Xiaoqiao and Ruan Haoyu left the Medical Valley and traveled through mountains and rivers like an ordinary couple, seeing all the beautiful scenery.
They also went to stay temporarily in the village where Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna lived in seclusion. It was a small fishing village. Ling Xiao went fishing with local fishermen every day, and Zhao Minna raised chickens and ducks at home. The two had married in a low-key manner and lived a simple and ordinary life.
In that small fishing village, Mu Xiaoqiao also met those people who were killers in the past. They now lived ordinary lives, but they had smiles on their faces that Mu Xiaoqiao had never seen before.
It was a free laugh, a relaxed laugh.
It’s great that everyone is living the life they want, and no longer have to live on the edge of a knife.
They also went out to sea with Ling Xiao, saw the vastness of the ocean, saw dolphins following the fishing boats and constantly jumping out of the sea, saw the sunset and the setting sun on the sea. They snuggled on the bow of the boat, feeling the sea breeze, and quietly feeling the good times.
Both of them cherished this peaceful life and really wanted to continue like this until the end of time...
However, in the spring of the third year, they had to return to the Medical Valley because Mu Xiaoqiao was pregnant.
According to Mu Xiaoqiao, they could stay outside for a while before coming back. It was only three months, so she was not unable to walk.
But Ruan Haoyu refused to allow it. Ever since he took Mu Xiaoqiao's pulse and found out she was pregnant, he hired a carriage and no longer allowed her to ride a horse by herself.
