Chapter 333 Extra Chapter 9: Trying to Keep Her
In conclusion: Obsession is a poisoned elixir. It is love, it is hate, and it is also the antidote. —Anonymous
Twilight Snow Sect.
"Everyone, are you ready? Only by removing Xie Wanxun's inner demons can we possibly awaken her," Qin Muyang said, looking at the leaders of the eight major sects, as well as Feng Qingyi and Xie Cang.
"Ready?" everyone said in unison, entering Xie Wanxun's dream.
However, they all failed, defeated by the tree demon, and were about to lose Xie Wanxun forever.
Qin Muyang and Si Jinchuan stood still, looking at the tree demon. Their eyes showed the same shock, and... doubt?
Before the tree spirit, the previously broken wooden puppet floated up and transformed into human form.
It looked exactly like Xie Wanxun.
However, her eyes were golden, golden flames burned in her jet-black hair, she wore a pure white robe, and her eyes were full of compassion.
"Wan Ning?" Qin Muyang called out tremblingly, his eyes fixed on Xie Wan Ning's figure.
Xie Wanning turned her head and smiled gently.
Two streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks. Qin Muyang took a deep breath, and the oppressive feeling in his chest instantly disappeared. He felt incredibly relaxed, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Si Jinchuan did not relax; his gaze remained fixed on the tree demon, wanting to know if Wanxun had been in any trouble.
Tree Spirit.
Xie Wanxun let her body fall. There was no sound in her ears, no light in her eyes, and even her heart felt empty.
Suddenly, a warm hand grasped hers. Xie Wanxun opened her eyes, and a soft, warm light fell upon her.
"Sister, you can wake up now. Everyone was very worried about you," Xie Wanning said gently, her eyes filled with a faint sadness and concern.
"Wan Ning!" Xie Wanxun sat up and hugged Xie Wan Ning tightly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes as if she were grasping a lifeline. Her voice was slightly choked as she murmured in the other's ear, "It's been so long, I missed you so much."
"Yes, me too."
"Can you stay? My parents are all well, and so are everyone else. So can you stay?" Xie Wanxun asked excitedly, her words somewhat incoherent.
“Sister, I am now a High God, and I cannot abandon my post. There are still over a hundred worlds that need my management. What will happen to them if I leave? Therefore, I cannot stay,” Xie Wanning explained patiently.
"Then what should we do? Look, Qin Muyang, he's been looking for you, and he even became the new Heavenly Dao in order to find you," Xie Wanxun said, pointing to Qin Muyang.
Xie Wanning glanced at Qin Muyang with a hint of apology and shook her head regretfully.
Qin Muyang felt as if his heart was being torn apart, but he could understand Xie Wanning. He simply said, "You've worked hard, Wanning. You don't need to worry about me. Just be yourself."
Xie Wanning looked at Qin Muyang with heartache, while Xie Wanxun glared fiercely at him.
Xie Wanxun thought to herself: What a hypocrite! I actually had any hope that he would try to win him over.
"Wan Ning, don't listen to him." Xie Wanxun turned Xie Wan Ning around so that she could look at her. "Wan Ning, haven't you always wanted a home? Your parents will welcome you, and Xiao Tian is waiting for you too. The disciples of Muxue Sect will accept you."
In response, Xie Wanning shook her head firmly and decisively.
Xie Wanxun suddenly smiled. Looking at Xie Wanning's resolute expression, she felt a deep sadness welling up inside her. However, she had long anticipated this outcome.
Wan Ning would never change for anyone.
She is who she is, and she treats everyone the same, because all living beings are the same in her eyes.
Whether they are family or friends, they are all under the world.
She prioritizes responsibility above all else, and can put everything else aside.
Xie Wanxun's gaze fell on Qin Muyang, and she felt that the two had something in common.
Qin Muyang had to consider the safety of the cultivation world, which was why he couldn't deliberately leave Wan Ning behind.
They are all people with great love in their hearts, who restrain their desires, remain rational, and choose the safest approach.
They are good people, Xie Wanxun has no way of denying that.
"and many more."
Xie Wanxun looked up and asked, "Wan Ning, I only want to ask you, are you happy because you've returned to the cultivation world?"
Xie Wanning was stunned. She remembered her mother's embrace, her father's instructions, and the scene of fighting the enemy with her comrades.
She thought of Luo Zejian, Qin Muyang, and the peach blossom tree blooming at the door.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her hair swayed.
Seeing Xie Wanning's wavering, Xie Wanxun got his answer.
"I see."
Xie Wanxun grabbed Xie Wanning's hand and said in a low voice, "Wanning, no matter what you say, I'm going to keep you here."
Yes, Xie Wanxun is Xie Wanxun, stubborn and will never change.
She can dedicate her entire life to revenge, or she can go to great lengths to keep someone by her side.
Xie Wanning broke free and gave a helpless smile.
But then the tree demon's vines grew more and more, wrapping around Xie Wan Ning.
"Xie Wanxun, what are you doing!" Qin Muyang roared. He was about to step forward when Si Jinchuan stopped him.
"Sect Master Qin, this road is blocked."
Xie Wanxun glanced down at the two people locked in combat, then with a wave of her hand, they vanished from the spot.
This is her dream, where she controls the comings and goings of everyone.
Xie Wanxun should have realized this sooner; she was so immersed in this world that she almost forgot about the real world.
In this world of cultivation, there are three non-existent people, two non-existent objects, and one fact that should not exist.
The untrue fact is that lacquered wood cannot be burned by phoenix fire; this is an illusion.
Two items that do not exist: one is the whistle around Si Jinchuan's neck that could be used for divination, but Si Jinchuan in this life no longer knows how to do divination; the other is the Luoze Sword, since it has already been shattered by Xie Wanxun.
The three non-existent individuals are Qin Muyang, who became the Heavenly Dao; Si Jinchuan, who became the Demon Lord; and Xie Wanxun, who was already a fallen god.
This cultivation world is an illusion.
"Sister, this can't hold me. Why don't you go out soon? There are many people waiting for you."
"I don't."
"Clap!"
The puppet landed, and Xie Wan solidified into a soul form, her physical form beginning to dissipate.
"do not want!"
Xie Wanxun reached out to grab Xie Wanning, but missed.
She remembered that souls have no physical form. Only when the other party's cultivation level is higher than that of a soul can one capture a soul.
Xie Wanxun watched Xie Wanning's figure disappear, biting her lip until blood dripped down her cheeks.
She needs to calm down; she must calm down and find a way to keep Wan Ning.
"Wan Ning." Xie Wanxun took a deep breath, looking intently at Xie Wan Ning, and asked, "If you weren't bound by the status of a High God, and if you weren't shackled by the power that transcends everything, and you were just a disciple of the Twilight Snow Sect, would you have stayed?"
Xie Wanxun's tone was sincere and urgent, and her gaze remained fixed on Xie Wanning.
Xie Wanning's soul trembled slightly, as if she was hesitating.
"Is it really impossible... to stay?!"
Xie Wanxun could no longer hide her emotions, and she shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Sister, you... you're crying?" Xie Wanning's eyes were filled with worry.
she cried?
Warm liquid slid down her cheek without warning. Xie Wanxun subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it, and her fingertips were wet with water stains. Only then did she realize that she had been crying silently.
how come?
Xie Wanxun couldn't remember the last time she cried.
Was it when he was wronged by Ye Qianqian in his first life? Or when he was distanced from Song Huai'an and Jiang Ci? Or when he was scolded by Yan Ze?
Xie Wanxun rarely cried; she understood long ago that crying wouldn't solve anything. Therefore, after her rebirth, she would never again use fragile tears to gain any sympathy, because there was no one left worth her tears.
Even when facing Si Jinchuan, who laid everything bare, even when facing the tyrannical and unpredictable Fusang.
Xie Wanxun would only raise the weapon in her hand to block all the damage.
However, she cried because of Wan Ning's departure.
She prides herself on not being a fragile person and being indifferent to everything.
However, at this moment, she had to admit that she really wanted to keep Wan Ning.
Because of the promise she made, and even more so because she had long regarded Wan Ning as her own sister and family.
Therefore, she would not let Wan Ning suffer the loneliness of being alone anymore. Because she deeply understood how painful it was to be surrounded by people but have no one to rely on.
"Wan Ning, please stay. This is my only request."
Xie Wanxun closed her eyes, then opened them again. Her eyes had turned scarlet, and her jet-black hair began to turn white from the ends, eventually becoming a head of snow-white hair.
The last time she turned white hair was because she had fallen into demonic possession.
Xie Wan's gaze shifted slightly.
"But there are no 'what ifs' in this world."
