CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 207

"Girl, why don’t you like me?" Mo Junhua stepped back slightly, unsure if it was just his imagination, but he felt as though the fire had developed a consciousness. Despite lacking eyes, it seemed as if the flames were constantly watching him, ready to pounce and annihilate him should he dare to make a move on the girl.

It’s like seeing a ghost!

Lan Tian tilted her head to look at him, her eyes now clear and cold, far from the drunken haze from before, and the words that came out were like ice daggers stabbing straight into Mo Junhua’s heart.

"Why should I like you?" Lan Tian scoffed coldly.

Mo Junhua clutched his chest, feeling his heart sink to the abyss, icy and desolate.

"You made me suffer so much. Am I out of my mind? Playing both ends against the middle, enjoying the one while keeping an eye on the other, you’re nothing but a scumbag," Lan Tian continued to mercilessly twist the knife.

Mo Junhua: "..." Covered in wounds.

He wasn’t sure whether this was her awakening or not; Mo Junhua felt unfairly wronged. He had been wholeheartedly good to the girl, willing to tear out his own heart for her, but she still misunderstood him for two-timing; he was more wronged than falling snow in June, unjustifiable. No, he had to defend himself.

"I’m not two-timing, there has only ever been you from the beginning to the end." Mo Junhua was just short of swearing an oath to heaven.

Lan Tian humphed, treating him like an idiot, her fingertip pressing against Mo Junhua’s forehead, "Nonsense! You married me but told others I was your cousin. You had me live elsewhere while you and Zhou Yuwei lived a lovey-dovey life in the military. You even had Zhou Yuwei drive me away. Tell me, are you not a scumbag?"

Mo Junhua’s heartbeat pounded "thud thud thud", as he looked at Lan Tian, who rolled her eyes at him, clearly signaling that there was no way he could deceive her.

The girl was still drunk, not fully sober, and there was a lot to unpack. However, Mo Junhua was certain of one thing—the girl knew about the things that had happened in his dream, and not only did she know, she knew with much more detail than him.

How did she come to know? Could it be that she dreamt the same as he did?

Mo Junhua frowned, defending himself with a hint of grievance, "Girl, I didn’t. There’s only one person in my heart and my eyes. Where did you hear such things?" Mo Junhua coaxed sincerely, realizing that the girl held a strong grudge against him. He might end up in a coffin, and she still wouldn’t tell him.

Lan Tian sneered contemptuously— she was the person involved, there was no need for others to tell her.

With Lan Tian’s mind still muddled, she blurted out, "Why do I know? Because I experienced it in my past life. Don’t think just because you haven’t done it in this life, you’re innocent. You’re not two-timing now because I am prettier than Zhou Yuwei, so you abandoned the old for the new."

The room went deadly silent.

Past life?

Mo Junhua’s pupils shrank, the situation was more complicated than he had imagined.

"Then why did you still agree to marry me?" After a while, Mo Junhua managed to find his voice.

Lan Tian flipped her hand, and a Moonlight Stone appeared, instantaneously brightening the room as if it were daylight. Mo Junhua squinted slightly, his gaze sweeping over the item in her hand, a strange light rolling in the depths of his eyes.

Knowing that he would become such a person, why did she still marry him?

The light was too dazzling, Lan Tian squinted and subconsciously set up a restrictive array in the room.

Why?

Lan Tian blinked, and in the quiet room, only her cool voice could be heard, "Destiny insists on entangling you with me. It’s useless even if I resist. Master said that you and I are destined for three lifetimes of marriage, and this is the last one. I must marry you; otherwise, I will still be entangled with you in future lives."

Lan Tian initially didn’t take it seriously when she heard it from her nominal Master. Later... later the more they became entangled, the more it turned into the current situation.

"The most important thing is that you are my heart demon. In my previous life, I died during the crossing of tribulation because of the heart demon," Lan Tian thought more and more, and her voice rose sharply, "To break through the heart demon, the only way is to marry you. Do you think it’s easy for me? I have cultivated for a hundred years, established foundation four times, and even passed the Heavenly Tribulation, only to die by your hand. Aren’t you just a jinx?"

Lan Tian was obviously displacing her anger onto him, and Mo Junhua responded with silence. He had thought of many reasons, such as being coerced by Grandma Sun and the possibility that she might have some feelings for him, but he had never considered that she would marry him in order to break through her heart demon.

Heart demon? Thunder Movement? These were words he couldn’t understand. Today, he had seen and heard too many inconceivable things and was numb from the shock.

Suddenly, Lan Tian levitated, floating in mid-air and looking down at Mo Junhua with disdain and mockery evident in her eyes, "You and I are not from the same world. Do not foolishly hope to possess what you should not. You’re merely a passing scene in my journey. Mortals are nothing but dust in this world, existing for mere decades before vanishing in the blink of an eye. But I seek to question the Immortal, to ascend to the Immortal World and the Divine Realm, and to live as long as the heavens and the earth."

Mo Junhua’s pupils contracted repeatedly as everything he had seen and heard tonight overturned all his life and values of the past thirty years.

"Remember, our marriage is just a tool for me to break through my severe tribulation and heart demon. A cultivator’s marriage must be acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao. Sooner or later, I will leave this world."

After showing off by floating for a while, Lan Tian landed back on the bed. Constant floating would consume Spiritual Energy, and since she hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment, she couldn’t levitate for too long. Anyway, the desired intimidating effect had been achieved.

Having spoken so much, Lan Tian felt the drunkenness come over her again. She blinked her bleary eyes, waved her hand to retrieve the Moonlight Stone, and the room was plunged into darkness once more. She pulled the quilt over herself and went back to sleep, having drunk half a jar of peach blossom brew; it wouldn’t be surprising if she didn’t wake up for two or three days.

Mo Junhua took a long time to digest everything before he gradually understood. He had always thought that the dreams were premonitions of the future, warning him that if things developed as they did in the dream, he would end up lonely, and she would mysteriously disappear.

No wonder she had been wary and distant from him since she was young. For a long time, he was insecure and couldn’t find the reason. Now, this made sense; the him from the past lives was not a good person, so it was natural for her to guard against him.

Rationally, Mo Junhua thought she was not wrong, but the thought of her continuing to treat him this way in the future irked him. She said she had experienced her past life, and thinking of what she had been through, Mo Junhua felt a heartache like death.

He didn’t care how she had come back; as long as she was by his side now, that was enough. Listening to her light and continuous breathing, Mo Junhua also lay down, took her into his arms, and felt his empty heart fulfilled.

His gaze fell on Lan Tian’s face, reluctant to move away even slightly, as he couldn’t get enough of looking at her.

"Girl, no matter whether you’re a mortal or an Immortal, now that you are married to me, regardless of the laws of the Immortal World, in this life you are Mo Junhua’s wife. If you wish to become an Immortal, I will accompany you in becoming one. Don’t even think about leaving me." Mo Junhua made up his mind, secretly seeking the Immortal Path. If she could get the chance to become an Immortal, he surely could find it too.

Just now, she said she died because of the heart demon, and the heart demon was him. Does that mean he could take it as, in her heart, she also has feelings for him? Thinking of this, Mo Junhua smiled and fell asleep.

Lan Tian had no idea that in her drunken stupor, she had been asleep for three days and revealed all her cards. When she woke up in the morning, she felt refreshed, and the Spiritual Energy in her Dantian was more active than usual.

Upon introspecting her Dantian, the Spiritual Energy was much more condensed than before. After her Divine Sense withdrew from the Dantian, she contemplated preparing to return to Wuhua Mountain for Foundation Establishment in the next few days.

She got up unsteadily to wash up, and in the courtyard, Grandma Sun was washing peaches, and Chun Mei was eating with a few others. Seeing Lan Tian come out, Grandma Sun approached and placed her hand on Lan Tian’s forehead.

"How do you feel? Still dizzy? You girl, if you can’t drink, you should speak up. Why are you so gluttonous, drinking half a jar of alcohol by yourself? Fortunately, it wasn’t too strong; otherwise, it wouldn’t be just a matter of sleeping for a few days." Touching Lan Tian’s head and finding it not hot, Grandma Sun continued to chatter. Lan Tian smiled with her eyes and looked around.

"Where’s Mo Junhua?" Not seeing Mo Junhua, Lan Tian felt strange. It was rare for him to have time off, and he should be shamelessly sticking around. There was no one in the room just now, nor outside. Where did he go?

It can’t be to help Mo Yuanle with some work; Grandma Sun and the others would never agree to that.

"He went back to the military unit."

"Back to the military unit?" Lan Tian turned her head in surprise to look at Grandma Sun, "Isn’t he on leave? Why go back to the unit?"
