Bai Wuqing was stunned when Tang Guo said she would not cross the Tribulation.
On the contrary, Mo Yuntian’s reaction was not so strong. He had understood from the beginning that Tang Guo would leave this world sooner or later, not by ascending, but by going to another plane.
Unlike his earlier guesses, he also knew that Tang Guo would leave in soul form and inhabit another body.
Bai Wuqing felt a tightness in his heart and could not help but ask, “Why?”
“I don’t want to ascend.” Tang Guo lowered her head and gave a small laugh. “I don’t want to be struck by lightning.”
Mo Yuntian almost laughed out loud. Was this girl trying to deceive Bai Wuqing?
After Tang Guo joined the group, everyone knew she was someone who held grudges. Even though she could tolerate Bai Wuqing staying by her side and never complained even if he followed her everywhere, she would never truly accept him.
There was no way she would ever let anything happen between them.
When Bai Wuqing heard Tang Guo say she did not want to be struck by lightning, he sat there in a daze for a long time before finally reacting. A faint smile rose on his cold face. “Then don’t cross it.”
If she would not cross the Tribulation, he would not cross it either.
Wherever she was, that was where he would be.
Tang Guo saw through Bai Wuqing’s thoughts. The corners of her lips lifted slightly. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and spoke with the system. “He still thinks he has a chance.”
[Hehe…] There is no chance.
Although the host was someone who lacked love and cherished every pure feeling, there was no room for the slightest betrayal or speck of sand in her eyes. No form of it was acceptable.
Extreme.
Sentimental.
Ruthless.
All of these were her.
Bai Wuqing, you are truly unfortunate. In this life, the host already sentenced you to death. If you meet her again in the next life, maybe you can learn to be a better man.
In fact, he rather respected this mysterious traveler. There were not many people who could, in some worlds, move the host even a little.
Compared to the host’s serious determination to do what she set out to do in each world, he would rather she could be a little happier.
He had once asked her why she valued feelings so much. Even after being deceived countless times, she still believed in pure love, family, and friendship.
The host had only replied: In the long stretch of time and travel, no matter how strong someone’s heart is, it is still possible to experience all kinds of stories and lose themselves.
Only by experiencing vibrant feelings could her mind stay clear. Her heart would be warmed by those feelings, so she would not become a cold, numb walking corpse.
Even though she kept traveling through time and space, she had never once resigned herself to fate. She needed to remain calm. She did not want to lose any of the qualities that made her human.
That was why she would fully immerse herself in each original owner’s life. And because she had enough experience, she could control those feelings at any time.
But without exception, she could not tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.
If there ever was someone who moved her and who was completely genuine with her, she would not mind, in that world, giving all her true feelings to love him.
Obviously, Bai Wuqing had made his mistake from the start. Worse still, it was a mistake he had committed against the original self. So she would never consider having anything happen with him again.
Bai Wuqing felt uneasy inside. Clearly the woman he cared about was sitting right in front of him, but why could he never hold on to her?
Why, even though he followed her every day, did it feel as if she might disappear at any moment?
“I will take them to cross the Tribulation tomorrow.”
Tang Guo put down her teacup, “Some things, I think should be settled sooner.” She had already been in this world for more than ten years.
