Who was it that could not see through the reflection of the moon in the water? Who was it that left into the distance and became indistinct in other people's eyes?
Who was it that saw through the beauty of youth? Su Ming, who did not turn his head around, just watched the clouds swim around him with a smile, then lowered his head and flicked his fingers?
Perhaps the dust that danced in the air was a brilliance that no one else could see, but Su Ming knew that the flick of his fingers and the clouds would last for a thousand years in the world.
He would no longer think about it, no longer recall it. He would let the beautiful memories of the past remain forever in his heart. He would not come into contact with reality or the truth. He would leave behind a beautiful memory for himself and an obsession for others.
What he cut off was the love in his heart and the obsession of others who had been entangling him from afar.
'I kept the beautiful memories, but … I, Su Ming, am never someone who will be schemed against by others …' A piercing cold look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He had continued being obsessed with the obsession because he wanted to personally … find the person who had planted it in his heart.
This was Su Ming's personality. He was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance, just like how he headed to the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean. Searching for clues about Lie Shan Xiu had become secondary. His true goal was to wreak havoc in Divine Essence Star Ocean.
He wanted to make the four venerated races who had chased after his Master in the past pay a heavy price.
Su Ming walked calmly in the galaxy and asked faintly without turning his head back, "How many people have you killed in your life?"
"Not too many." Most of Xu Hui's cultivation base had recovered, but she still wore the sackcloth. She had not changed out of it.
"I haven't killed many …" Su Ming said calmly.
Xu Hui turned her head around and looked at him. There was a slightly strange expression on her face. Forget about what she had not seen, just the Waves of Tears alone was enough for her to sense the murderous aura around Su Ming's body.
If this was not considered a lot, then Xu Hui suddenly felt that her answer just now should have been 'very few'.
"Each of the four venerated races in the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean has a hundred thousand something people. I won't kill many. Each race … has thirty thousand people," Su Ming said faintly.
Xu Hui was silent for a moment before she said softly, "If they can become the venerated races in the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean, then they must have people who are Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death.
"One per race. I know this." Su Ming turned into a long arc and charged through the galaxy. Xu Hui accompanied him by his side. When she heard his words, she smiled faintly and did not continue asking questions.
Since Su Ming knew about the dangers but still chose to move forward, then he must have some degree of confidence, or else he would not have died in the galaxy for no reason.
Time trickled by. A normal cultivator would need a long time to move from the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean to the inner part, and there would be countless dangers during the process.
However, Su Ming and Xu Hui could shift, causing their speed to increase exponentially. If that was all, they would be much faster, but if they wanted to reach the inner ring, they would still need dozens of years.
However, with the map from Ninth Tribe, there were quite a number of Relocation spots for the vortices in space marked on the map. Because of it, he could close the distance between them. Based on Su Ming's estimations, he would be able to step into the inner parts of Divine Essence Star Ocean in about ten years.
The process was long. Based on Su Ming's calculations, the distance from the periphery of Divine Essence Star Ocean to the inner part was the same as reaching the entrance to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. The distance was so great that it was a ravine that a mortal would not be able to cross even if they were reincarnated thousands of times.
Fortunately, he was not alone this time. There was a woman by his side. Fortunately … before she left Ninth Tribe, she had taken away a large amount of wine stored in Ninth Tribe when Su Ming was not paying attention.
Because of that, Su Ming, who was already used to loneliness, could no longer get used to it. The conversations he heard at that time usually had a unique tone to them.
'Just what happened that night?' Several years later, Su Ming sat on a rapidly flying meteor and looked at Xu Hui, who was drinking wine beside him. At that moment, Xu Hui's valiant and heroic bearing gave Su Ming an indescribable feeling.
"You don't know what happened?" Xu Hui blinked and looked at Su Ming.
The few years they had spent together might have passed by in the blink of an eye, but nearly one thousand days and nights in the galaxy as their companions had caused the two of them to seem to have become slightly different from before.
Su Ming cast Xu Hui a glance and said faintly with an expressionless face, "I feel like I'm hugging something. It's very soft."
Xu Hui smiled faintly and continued drinking. She lifted a pot of wine and tossed it to Su Ming.
"Can you not always drink like this? You get drunk every time." Su Ming frowned and picked up the pot of wine.
"It's better if I'm drunk. You can walk on your own." Xu Hui narrowed her eyes into the shape of crescent moons. A dazed look gradually appeared in her eyes. When Su Ming saw this, he sighed. He knew that Xu Hui was drunk again.
After a moment, Su Ming jumped up from the meteor with the sleeping Xu Hui in his arms. This was not the first time he had hugged a drunk woman. Over the years, he seemed to have gotten used to it.
Every single time she drank, she would not use her cultivation base to circulate it. Every single time she got drunk, she would fall into a deep sleep. The smile that appeared at the corners of her lips made Su Ming feel as if he could see the fatigue in her heart as well as the wariness she had towards all the people around her.
It was as if … she could only sleep at ease when she was with him, or perhaps … she liked the feeling of being hugged by Su Ming when she was drunk.
No one knew whether Xu Hui had done it intentionally or not, but she had wrapped her arms around Su Ming's neck and buried her head in his bosom. Her long hair floated in the air and intersected with Su Ming's hair, as if they were inseparable.
Perhaps, this was what she hoped for.
Su Ming moved forward quietly in the galaxy with Xu Hui in his arms. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt. Once he scrutinized his surroundings, he lifted his right hand and swung it forward. Immediately, a wave of air spread through the area. It was swiftly sucked into a spot the size of a palm in front of him.
A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He observed it carefully for a moment before he took a step into the invisible vortex and disappeared without a trace.
This was not the first time he and Xu Hui had Relocated through the vortex on their way to the inner part of Divine Essence Star Ocean. Su Ming, who was already familiar with the process, instantly appeared in the colorful world.
He did not close his eyes, but kept them open. As his body was brought forward, he lowered his head to look at the darkness at the end of the colorful world. In just the span of a few breaths, a smile appeared at the corners of Su Ming's lips.
A roar came from the darkness, causing the colorful world to tremble. At the same time, the jellyfish-like existences floating around Su Ming moved back simultaneously.
The black horse with two dragon heads charged out from the endless darkness. The two dragon heads glared at Su Ming, and the horse's head panted harshly. When it stomped on the ground with its hooves, flames instantly started burning in the area. The color of the flames was black, and when combined with the horse's body, it made the horse look incredibly mighty.
This was the third time Su Ming had Relocated through the vortex on his way here. If he could be considered, this was the fourth time he met the horse's gaze. Every single time before this, as long as Su Ming appeared in the world in the vortex, the black horse would immediately notice him. No matter how far away he was, it would use its unique method to swiftly close in on him.
Enraged roars reverberated in the air. When the black horse lowered its head, it rushed out with killing intent burning in its body. With a response to Su Ming's provocation, it charged towards him.
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. His previous experiences had allowed him to know that while the horse would get closer to him every single time, it would not be able to catch up to him. Judging by the spot where it had appeared, it should only be able to catch up to him seven breaths after he left.
"You are mine. One of these days, you will carry me to the ends of the earth and hell!" Su Ming smiled faintly. When he spoke, the black horse's roars became even more astonishing. It looked as if it was about to rush towards Su Ming, but he had already disappeared and left the world in the vortex.
Once Su Ming walked out of the galaxy with Xu Hui in his arms, he did not immediately move forward. Instead, he listened attentively by the side. Six breaths later, an incredibly faint rumble echoed faintly from the vortex where he had left.
'I'm one breath short.' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He made some calculations and found that he roughly had three more chances to enter the world in the vortex. After those three times, the black horse would be able to catch up to him, and at that time, it would be time for him to capture it.
After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming cast a glance at Xu Hui in his arms. Once he pushed her away, he shook her violently until she opened her sluggish eyes.
"You're awake. It's your turn." When Su Ming saw Xu Hui open her eyes, he let go of her, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Xu Hui rubbed her eyes and said in a resigned manner, "You cheated!"
"We agreed that each of us would travel a certain distance. It's your turn now," Su Ming said faintly without opening his eyes.
"The Relocation Vortex doesn't count." Xu Hui glared at him.
"You didn't say anything before, so it doesn't count. Are you a woman or not? Are you not going to admit to your words? "Su Ming opened his eyes and cast her a sideways glance.
"You know better than me whether I'm a woman or not," Xu Hui said without hesitation. Xu Hui said without hesitation. Her words rendered Su Ming speechless for a long time. He had a feeling that the situation was the other way around …
In silence, Su Ming decided to close his eyes and ignore her.
Xu Hui let out a light harrumph and circulated her cultivation base. Once she got rid of her drunkenness, she lifted her right hand and swung it. Immediately, a fire phoenix appeared under her. It let out a screech and swept up the seated Su Ming before charging forward. Xu Hui stood on the phoenix's head and occasionally sized up her surroundings. She would occasionally turn her head around to look at Su Ming, who was training with a calm expression on his face.
"How petty!"
"I don't have any moles on my body, so of course I'm petty." Su Ming opened his eyes, then closed them again.
"I know what you want me to say, but I'm not going to say it." Xu Hui smiled and spoke in a manner that only Su Ming could understand.
