MTL NOVEL Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Mo Liushu’s Fated Person!
Mu Ran Ya grabbed the Infatuation Insect and operated her celestial technique, refining it in an instant.
After a burst of colorful light, the two insects merged into one, transforming into a gem.
“This is the reversed Infatuation Insect, which has now become the mother insect, while the insect on the caster’s body has downgraded to the son insect. Whoever masters the mother insect can control the desires of the caster!”
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but take a deep breath, not expecting Mu Ran Ya’s countermeasure could be so brutal.
Tang Qi dared to use the Infatuation Insect on someone from the Joyful Union Sect, he was truly courting death.
“Die, lecher! Go pair with a wild boar!”
Mu Ran Ya soared into the sky and threw the mother insect in a certain direction.
Zhou Tong’s spiritual power closely followed, and when he saw the insect taking root on a wild boar, he let out a sigh of relief.
Tonight, Tang Qi would probably have trouble sleeping.
…
However, it wasn’t just Tang Qi who couldn’t sleep; inside the cave dwelling of the Jade Purity Sect, Mo Liushu was tormented by a terrible nightmare.
A strong warrior like her originally only needed to meditate to replenish her spirit, no longer needing sleep.
But recently she had been overthinking, and with Zhou Tong facing criticism from peers, she was psychologically tortured, so she finally rested for the first time in ages.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she was met with a scene that shattered her heart.
Under a broken sky, Zhou Tong stood in mid-air, his expression majestic and his demeanor graceful.
He was so ethereal and clear, flawless, almost a step away from entering the Imperial Realm, achieving eternal myth.
But this path was forcibly cut off; a slender hand tightly gripped a sword and stabbed into his chest, twisting it furiously, seemingly out of a deep-seated grudge.
Faced with this person, Zhou Tong didn’t resist at all; instead, he looked at the other person with a mournful smile, chanting softly, ultimately cutting off any chance of life, plunging into an endless abyss!
“No!!!”
Mo Liushu let out a heart-wrenching scream and immediately woke up.
At this moment, her nightgown was soaked, cold sweat clinging to the fabric against her body, revealing her alluring curves.
She felt a dryness in her mouth, her heart racing to the extreme.
At her level of cultivation, she should no longer have meaningless dreams; everything in dreams has causality, either hinting at a loophole in cultivation or revealing a corner of the future.
“How could I have such a dream? Even if it were true, I should be happy if that rebellious disciple is dead. Why would I be troubled for him?”
She struggled to adjust her inner breath, trying to stabilize her breathing, but it had little effect.
The lingering image of the sword in Zhou Tong’s heart kept replaying in her mind, numbing her limbs and making it difficult to recover.
“This is bad; I’ve encountered a nightmare, and it’s a severe one.”
Her expression turned grave as she recognized the seriousness of the situation.
In her memory, this wasn’t the first time she had faced a nightmare; about ten years ago, her nightmare was even more terrifying, almost life-threatening.
But ever since a certain event occurred, the nightmares had disappeared; since then, her cultivation path had been smooth, without any fluctuations.
“What exactly happened? I shouldn’t have forgotten something so important.”
She immersed herself in deep thought, desperately trying to recall.
Before long, she felt incredibly weary and drifted back into slumber.
The familiar scene reappeared; the same hand, the same sword, pierced the same person, and Zhou Tong was still chanting softly before his demise.
The only difference was that part of Zhou Tong’s words had been retained.
“The thing I regret most in this life is…”
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Liushu was again jolted awake, gasping for breath.
“He regretted? What does he even have to regret?”
If this was a revealing dream of the future, it meant Zhou Tong truly regretted something in the future.
“Could it be…”
Mo Liushu thought of a possibility, her eyes suddenly brightening.
“Hmph… I knew that the moment that rebellious disciple severed ties with me, it would lead to a day of regret!”
She declared proudly, “Calculating this, the identity of the woman who killed him is also obvious; it must be that devil Mu Ran Ya!”
“Someone! Convey my orders; let Hong Xiu come out immediately!” She couldn’t wait for even a moment and instructed those around her.
Hong Xiu, named Xia Hongxiu, was her second disciple, best at drawing talismans and celestial divination techniques, with exceptional talent rare in a thousand years.
Mo Liushu summoned her to utilize her celestial technique to complete her prophetic dream and extract it for public announcement.
This way, Mu Ran Ya would be disgraced, and Zhou Tong would inevitably regret and recognize who could truly protect him.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but reveal a joyful smile, as though the accumulating displeasure of the past few days had been swept away.
“Master, I’m here!”
Xia Hongxiu floated over, dressed in a bagua robe, with a spot of vermilion between her eyebrows, appearing calm and elegant. Although striking in appearance, she radiated an aura of loneliness that kept others at bay.
“Girl, tonight I had a feeling and received a prophetic dream, but unfortunately, the dream is incomplete, making it hard to grasp its deeper meaning…”
Mo Liushu stated directly, “I want to use your celestial techniques to complete the dream. What do you think?”
“Of course that would be possible!”
Xia Hongxiu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then readily agreed and began drawing symbols and setting up formations.
Half a stick of incense later, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, revealing a faint smile as she said to Mo Liushu, “Disciple is ready. Master, please invite Sixth Junior Brother over!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Liushu’s brow furrowed slightly; Sixth Junior Brother referred to Zhou Tong.
Xia Hongxiu had spent years dealing with celestial mechanics, usually in seclusion, not interacting closely with others, so she was unaware that Zhou Tong had been expelled from the sect.
“Why do you need him? Can’t you do it alone?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Hongxiu surprisingly showed an expression of shock.
“What’s wrong… Is there an issue with Master’s words?”
“Master, don’t you remember? Little Junior Brother can shield you from disasters and stabilize your fate. Only when he is by your side can you ensure everything goes smoothly!”
“What!”
Mo Liushu instantly widened her eyes, as if struck by lightning!
She finally recalled the events from ten years ago.
Back then, she was plagued by nightmares, nearly going mad, and in search of peace, Xia Hongxiu had performed a divination for her.
The divination indicated she would face three calamities and four trials in her life; to avert them, she needed to find her fated person to stabilize her fate!
So she followed the advice, and during a solar eclipse, she found a youth in a desolate southern mountain and took him as her disciple; this youth was her destined person, Zhou Tong!
“Master, Master…”
Xia Hongxiu repeatedly called, prompting Mo Liushu to slowly come back to her senses.
“We mustn’t delay; quickly invite Sixth Junior Brother over…”
“That rebellious disciple has already betrayed the sect!” Mo Liushu said coldly.
“What!!!”
“No need for more talk; help me retrieve the dream. It won’t be long before that rebellious disciple returns on his own!”
She eagerly said, wanting to uncover the truth that would make Zhou Tong regret it.
