Free Web NovelThe first ray of warm, yellow morning sun broke through the window paper.
Li Mo, lying on the bed, wanted to open his eyes, but even this simplest action made him feel a wave of weakness.
He desperately wanted to fall asleep, but seeing everyone who walked in, he still held back, because he didn't know if he would wake up again if he fell asleep.
Seeing everyone looking like they had lost their backbone, Li Mo chuckled:
“Hehe, Dong Er Niu, you’re a grandfather now, don’t get snot and tears all over your face.”
“Little Li Ge, I’m a famous Grandmaster now, you still treat me like a child.”
“That’s true. In that case, I’ll give you this God Sword. Haven’t you been longing for it for years?”
Li Mo picked up the fire poker resting by the bed and placed it in his hand.
After he found this stick, he had always used it as a fire poker.
Dong Er Niu took it, but couldn't feel happy.
Li Mo’s words suddenly became more numerous:
“Having lived this life, I’ve already gained something. There’s nothing to be sad about.”
“Actually, I’ve been tired for a long time. Now that I see our village become a town, and once the city walls are built, it will be Great King City. I am content.”
Everyone knew what he meant.
These past years, the Earth City dared not interfere, and demons dared not trespass, all because of Ying Bing.
And the reason Ying Bing stayed here was only one.
That Great King Village could be what it is today was, in the final analysis, because of Li Mo.
“Dong Er Niu.”
“Aye, I’m here.”
“Among everyone, you have the best talent, you’re the most clever, and you have a true talent for martial arts. You’ll definitely live longer than me. In the future, no matter what happens, you must be the backbone.”
“I understand, Little Li Ge.”
“The ancestral hall... let’s tear it down. Our place now has people from all corners of the world. For everyone to unite, we cannot each worship our own ancestors.”
“...”
He spoke many words at once.
Towards the end, his speech became slurred, almost unable to form complete sentences.
The room gradually quieted down, and the old faces left one by one, until finally even Dong Er Niu went out with the fire poker.
Everyone seemed to share a certain understanding.
Li Mo involuntarily hunched over. He felt a coldness from the depths of his Soul, as if each breath was drawing away the scarce warmth from his aged body. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Gradually, his body could no longer perceive this world.
His consciousness drifted to his previous life, and to his life after Transmigration.
“How can a Transmigrator farm for an entire lifetime?”
“So this is what it feels like to live an ordinary life... Well, it’s not bad.”
“Is she still at Nanguan (Southern Pass)...”
Li Mo thought this, and even his consciousness gradually blurred.
No one can resist the passage of time. He had never admitted defeat in his life, but now it was time to surrender.
His only regret was not seeing her one last time.
But life always has imperfections. He had seen that face countless times, yet he was too greedy; no matter how many times he saw it, it was never enough.
Suddenly, the blinding sunlight was blocked.
He could feel light footsteps approaching the head of the bed, and he was no longer cold.
Li Mo opened his eyes, and through his blurry vision, he could clearly see her face.
She was wearing dark clothes, her black hair tied with a jade hairpin, just as she had ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) been when they first met.
“You are still as beautiful as the first time I saw you.”
“...”
Ying Bing sat down by the bed.
She could see the aura of decay on him, already spreading to his limbs, but he still smiled so brightly.
But this could not change the outcome; it meant fading away, it meant eternal sleep after falling asleep.
She couldn't help but trace his aged brows and eyes with trembling fingertips.
“If only I could grow old with you...”
“You childish fool.”
He said, as if joking, yet also as if letting out a sigh of relief.
But he was truly too tired, his voice too faint to be heard. So, somewhat unwillingly, he tried to move his body, but failed.
Ying Bing sat on the bed, using her thigh as a pillow for him, and changed to a more comfortable position.
“Sleep well. After a sleep, everything will be fine.”
“Really?”
Li Mo looked up at her.
Looking up at her, this woman who single-handedly froze Nanguan (Southern Pass), cutting off the natural disaster outside Human City, her face bathed in the morning light, her eyes filled with him, full of overflowing tenderness.
Anyone who met her gaze like this would surely be captivated and linger.
As if knowing his thoughts, Ying Bing smiled and said:
“When you wake up, you’ll see me again.”
“Mm...”
Li Mo never doubted a single word she said.
His smile looked much brighter, more like when he was young.
He closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to sink.
What awaited him was not a cold abyss, but an ordinary and warm afternoon... A true spirit, projected by the jiangshan sheji map, emerged from his body.
Death meant the end.
The true spirit soared into the clear sky... This scene, in the eyes of the people outside, turned into a sigh, causing even those who had held onto hope to feel disheartened.
“In the end, he still couldn’t resist the knife-like passage of time...”
“To be fair, he did well. Just diligently working for decades, developing Great King Village to such a degree, is already commendable, considering his starting point was just a Mortal blacksmith.”
“I’m not convinced! Why did Li Shaoxia descend into Human City?? Even starting in Earth City would have been better.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
“Forget it, forget it. To fall asleep in Han Xianzi’s embrace, and witness several Heavenly Human Trials, there could be no better ending...”
“So Han Xianzi is returning to the Celestial Clan? Does that mean Jiang Yu will have to abdicate?”
“The Crown Prince’s reign as Emperor is truly not very good. Perhaps if he did nothing at all, he might make fewer mistakes.”
The Jianghu figures and common people of Dijin couldn't help but feel regret.
They could see things that the powerful could not. Having watched for so long, they unconsciously no longer regarded Li Mo as an aloof figure.
Which Prodigy would spend all day blacksmithing and working the fields?
He was too down-to-earth, making everyone respect him without fear, without any barrier.
Many people wanted to see him go further in the Trial... And a certain Great Yu Emperor also held the same expectation. At this moment, he looked at the old woman and frowned:
“Laolao, the jiangshan sheji map is sending Li Mo out.”
Jingtai was also surprised by this.
Although Li Mo had done some things that changed Heavenly Human City, it was far from enough, and he did not deserve Yantian Laolao’s evaluation.
Could Yantian Laolao have misjudged?
“This old one knows,” the old woman nodded slightly.
Jingtai Emperor then asked, “My meaning is, do I need to intervene?”
He could still manage to keep a true spirit within the jiangshan sheji map.
This action would draw criticism, but he didn't care.
“There’s no need to trouble Your Majesty. You can just observe, someone will act,” the old woman said again.
Jingtai Emperor frowned and looked up, then suddenly his eyes widened in surprise.
He saw a Void Realm crack in the azure sky, its depth unknown.
An irresistible suction force was emanating from it, intending to draw the true spirit into it.
Suddenly.
A full, bright moon rose from the sea of clouds without warning.
