On the lawn by the lake, their eyes met.
Seeing the face that he had been thinking about for a long time, Li Mu's heart, which had been in his throat for a long time, finally relaxed.
Su He stared at Li Mu in a daze. Her eyes were filled with astonishment.
Li Mu looked at Su He. His lips moved several times. There were countless words in his heart that he wanted to say. After taking a deep breath, he only said, "Long time no see."
Su He slowly floated over. Her eyes were filled with suspicion. She reached out and pinched Li Mu's face. Then, she touched his body from head to toe. Then, she asked in disbelief, "Is it really you?"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "Haven't you already touched it?"
Su He should know his body better than he did. After all, she had entered his body before, and more than once.
In Su He's eyes, the astonishment and suspicion gradually turned into endless joy. She blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Li Mu explained, "Originally, I came to the Ghost Domain to look for the Heavenly Book. On the way, I met Lin Wan. She said that the Heavenly Book was in your hands. So, I followed the response of another page of the Heavenly Book and came here."
Su He glanced at him and then lowered her head. She did not let Li Mu see the disappointment in her eyes. She said calmly, "So you came to look for the Heavenly Book …"
Li Mu rejoiced, "Fortunately, I came here to look for the Heavenly Book. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find you."
Su He was startled. Her expression was a little surprised and a little happy.
She had never thought that Li Mu, who was as dull as a log, would say such words one day.
If he had this performance earlier, there would not have been so many things in the past two years.
When Su He fell into silence, Li Mu continued to ask, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye last time? Where have you been all this time?"
Su He heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Humans and ghosts have different paths. I'm a ghost, so the Ghost Realm is naturally more suitable for me. After leaving the Northern County, I came to the Ghost Realm to cultivate for a while. Later on, I randomly picked up a Heavenly Scroll and came here to avoid being hunted."
Li Mu's expression was slightly puzzled as he asked, "With your cultivation, how could you possibly enter deep into the Land of the Fallen Gods … Eh, how did you reach the Sixth Realm so quickly?!"
When she parted ways with Li Mu, Su He had just stepped into the fifth realm. Unless she encountered a great opportunity or was like Liu Hanyan and Li Qing, who had the support of a sect and the Realm Breaker Pill, it was impossible for her to advance so quickly.
Su He rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "When we first met, you were still a small cultivator in the first realm. At that time, I was already in the fourth realm. Now, I'm in the sixth realm and you're in the sixth realm. Who's faster?"
Li Mu said embarrassedly, "In the two years that we parted ways, I encountered some opportunities again."
Su He did not care about this question and explained: "Originally, I was only in the late stage of the fifth realm. However, after I obtained the Heavenly Scroll, I comprehended some ghost cultivation methods from it and somehow advanced. Later on, I was hunted down and fled here. Then, I accidentally got sucked into a spatial storm. I thought that I would definitely die, but when I woke up, I was already here. Until now, I still don't know where this place is."
Li Mu: "This is the center of the Land of the Fallen Gods. It should also be the center of the spatial storm."
Speaking of which, it was rather strange. A few dozen steps behind Li Mu, the spatial storm was strong enough to tear apart the body and soul of a seventh level cultivator. However, there was no fog, no wandering souls, and no spatial rifts here. It was like a paradise.
Li Mu continued to ask: "You didn't encounter any powerful wandering souls?"
Su He nodded and then shook her head: "I don't know why, but those wandering souls did not attack me."
The wandering souls that only knew violence and killing actually let her go. The spatial storm also did not cause her any harm. Li Mu was almost certain that this was because of the Heavenly Scroll.
Seeing that Su He was completely fine here, Li Mu was relieved. Then, he said: "Can you let me see the page of the Heavenly Scroll that you obtained?"
Su He did not say anything. She took out a page of the Heavenly Scroll and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu took the Heavenly Scroll and touched it with his spiritual sense. His consciousness quickly entered a familiar space.
Familiar ancient cultivators, familiar beasts, and familiar battlefields. Li Mu saw in this page of the Heavenly Scroll that in that earth-shattering battle, the human ancient cultivators defeated the beasts in the end. However, the space where the battlefield was located was completely destroyed.
The mountain-like corpses of the beasts lay on the battlefield. After their deaths, endless Yin Qi surged out from their bodies and completely changed the area, causing it to become a gloomy place where the sun could not be seen.
The Ghost Domain was filled with spatial cracks because the space had collapsed due to the battle.
Meanwhile, those wandering souls were formed from the remnant soul power of the beasts and ancient cultivators that died here. A portion of the soul power gathered together and gradually gave birth to soul power spirits over the long years.
These soul power spirits did not have intelligence. Affected by the remnant baleful aura of the ancient battlefield, they would instinctively attack all people with souls and souls and devour their soul power to strengthen themselves.
The Ghost Dao Heavenly Scroll floated in Li Mu's hand. Li Mu extended his other hand and another nine pages of the Heavenly Scroll appeared.
Su He was astonished. "How do you have so many Heavenly Scrolls?"
Li Mu replied, "I'll explain it to you in the future."
When the remaining nine pages of the Heavenly Scroll appeared, another page seemed to be attracted and automatically flew into it. The door that appeared before Li Mu's eyes was even clearer than before.
Outside the spatial storm, the white-clothed woman who was recuperating with her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes.
Just a moment ago, she had actually sensed the aura of ten pages of the Heavenly Scroll!
If she could obtain these ten pages of the Heavenly Scroll, in addition to the twenty-four pages that the Demon Dao had collected over the past ten thousand years, only a few pages were not in their hands. Deciphering the secrets of the Heavenly Scroll would be just around the corner!
In the quiet place at the center of the storm, Li Mu returned the Heavenly Scroll to Su He and said, "When we get out, I'll decipher the entire contents of this page of the Heavenly Scroll for you."
Su He did not accept it and said, "It's better if you keep it. I can't comprehend much of it with the Heavenly Scroll in my hands."
Li Mu looked at the wall of storm and said, "Then let's get out."
Su He shook her head. "Although I don't know how I came in, with my current cultivation, I can't pass through that wall of storm. Moreover, with that wall here, this is the safest place in the Ghost Domain. Once we leave, I'm afraid the Heavenly Scroll will attract countless people to fight over it. At that time, there will definitely be seventh realm experts intervening. With our strength, we won't be able to protect the Heavenly Scroll."
Li Mu smiled. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
Su He glanced at him and recalled some past events. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she said, "When I was in Yangqiu County, I never thought that there would be a day when I would be protected by you."
Li Mu looked at her and suddenly said, "If you're willing, I can protect you for the rest of your life."
Su He stared blankly for a moment, her expression at a loss. She muttered, "You, what did you say …"
Li Mu looked into her eyes and said seriously, "There was once a sincere feeling placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. It was only after I lost it that I regretted it. At that time, I swore that if the heavens gave me another chance, I would definitely say something to that girl …"
He held Su He's ice-cold hand and asked, "Are you willing to let me protect you for the rest of your life?"
Su He, who had always been bold and unrestrained, did not dare to meet Li Mu's gaze at this moment. She looked away and shook her head. "You're a human, I'm a ghost. Humans and ghosts walk different paths …"
Li Mu asked, "Do you think I care about these things?"
Su He slowly raised her head. If Li Mu cared about these things, there would not be her favorite "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
She looked at Li Mu and suddenly said, "Ask me again."
Li Mu asked, "What?"
Su He angrily pinched his waist. Li Mu quickly coughed and said seriously, "Are you willing to let me protect you for the rest of your life?"
Su He looked into his eyes and said, "I'm willing."
The next moment, a breeze blew over. Li Mu fell on the soft grass and smelled the fragrance of the grass.
