Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 226 Expectations for a Good Life

A gentle morning breeze swept through the manor, carrying away the wisps of mist and bringing in fresh air.

The chirping of insects and calls of birds echoed through the jungle, welcoming the arrival of a new day.

The bright sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the revitalized earth, also illuminating a small house.

On the soft, large bed, three thousand silver hairs were casually draped out, their silvery luster accentuated by the soft light.

Her long, slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment she opened her sleepy, beautiful eyes, letting out a charming voice.

"Hmmmm~"

The beautiful woman on the bed shifted her body, and her slender arms stretched out from under the covers.

She propped herself up on the bed with her hands, the blanket falling down her smooth, naked body, exposing her snow-white skin to the air, revealing glimpses of spring!
Mu Ningxue raised her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, a charmingly innocent look appearing on her pretty face. It was at this moment that this aloof and icy beauty in everyone's eyes showed the true nature of a girl.

Her fingers gently twirled a strand of hair that fell across her chest, and looking at that silver hue, she found it so dazzling.

It was because of that so-called Ice Crystal Bow that everything about him changed completely. His personality changed, his hair changed to another color, and even his mother left him...

Not only that, but countless nights, the ice would relentlessly erode her body, causing her unbearable pain!
There was nothing she could do but silently endure the cold and force herself to get through each night.

There was nothing she could do; this was the fate of those born into the Mu family, especially since the Mu family was even more determined to take advantage of a highly talented magical genius like her.

Ordinary people may envy the luxurious life of large families, but little do they know that people in large families sometimes envy the ordinary life of ordinary people as well.

However, reincarnation is a skill, and what one is born with cannot be changed.

She smoothed her slightly messy hair, spaced out for a while, and then prepared to get dressed and wash up.

He glanced to the side and his gaze fell on the bedside table, where a beautiful red rope lay quietly.

Mu Ningxue's eyes flickered, her heart filled with mixed emotions, and her thoughts drifted into memories.

It was a drizzly night when the boy and girl were looking for shelter from the rain and happened to run into a jewelry store.

The girl was drawn to the exquisite ornaments in the shop window. She looked at the boy beside her with expectant eyes, her bright and beautiful eyes sparkling with longing.

In fact, girls are never short of expensive and exquisite jewelry from a young age, but they are always missing a gift from their sweetheart.

Faced with the girl's yearning gaze, the boy glanced at the prices of the jewelry in the shop window, then touched the meager allowance in his pocket, and couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.

He gritted his teeth, braced himself, and walked into the jewelry store, picking out a cheap but exceptionally beautiful red string bracelet.

Rather than calling it a red rope, it would be more accurate to call it a red rope anklet.

The girl didn't care about the price; she was just very happy to receive the gift and asked the boy to tie it for her.

The boy was helpless and couldn't refuse, so he squatted down and put the anklet on the girl's ankle.

At that moment, the girl was convinced that the boy was the prince charming she had been longing for!
In the days that followed, the girl learned that the anklet was not an ordinary anklet, but had a special meaning.

The red string anklet symbolizes good fortune and luck, while the red string itself symbolizes the red thread of fate, binding two people in love together and protecting their marriage.

However, judging from the boy's reaction, he didn't seem to know what the red anklet meant.

"Indeed, feudal superstition is unreliable..."

Mu Ningxue murmured something, her eyes filled with confusion, helplessness, and a hint of bitterness.

This red anklet, a symbol of love, failed to bind the two together; instead, it foreshadowed a less-than-perfect end to their relationship.

She carefully picked up the red rope anklet, gently tied it around her ankle, and then got dressed to wash up.

Downstairs in the living room, Mu Zhuoyun walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food. Just then, she saw Mu Ningxue coming downstairs and said with a smile.

"Ning Xue, you're awake. I've made some breakfast. After we eat, we'll go see Mom."

Mu Ningxue nodded and sat down at the dining table to eat her breakfast quietly.

Looking around the empty Mu family manor, Mu Zhuoyun couldn't help but feel melancholy and shook his head bitterly.

“Back then, this place was very lively. Who would have thought that only my daughter and I would be left now? But it’s good, at least we have a quiet place.”

After the disaster in Bocheng, Mu Zhuoyun lost his former glory as the head of the family and can now only live under the roof of others, with his relatives and friends leaving him.

The relatives were unwilling to stay in the capital city and went out to make a living, striving for a better life.

As for those friends... don't be fooled by their apparent brotherhood and close bond; once something happens, they won't even send a message!

When a person is down on their luck, they can't help but think of the people who have always been by their side. This holiday is a rare opportunity to come back and pay respects to my loved one, and also to relax and clear my head.

Mu Ningxue paused, pursed her lips, and silently ate her food.

After breakfast, Mu Zhuoyun drove Mu Ningxue out to buy a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop.

As luck would have it, I ran into someone I knew.

"Brother Zhuo Yun, what brings you here?"

Mo Jiaxing happened to see Mu Zhuoyun enter and asked in surprise.

Brother Zhuo Yun... I haven't heard that title for several months since I fell on hard times.

"Oh, I'm taking my daughter to visit her mother, and I'm going to buy her a bouquet of flowers."

Mu Zhuoyun composed himself and replied with a smile.

Mu Ningxue stepped forward and politely bowed, calling out.

"Hello, uncle."

"Okay, it's been so long since I've seen you. Ning Xue is getting more and more beautiful... By the way, my Xiao Xie just went out, and he brought two bouquets of flowers with him. He also said he wanted to visit your mother."

Mo Jiaxing smiled and nodded, then said.

Upon hearing these words, Mu Ningxue's eyes flickered, and she quickly bought a bouquet of flowers before leaving like a gust of wind.

Mu Zhuoyun wanted to follow, but Mo Jiaxing stopped her.

"Hey, Brother Zhuo Yun, it's rare for us to get together today. How about we have lunch at my wife's chicken soup shop?" Of course, he knew that the other man had found a wife, and he had even given him a small gift when they got married.

Thinking about how rushed my daughter had been earlier, I decided it was best not to disturb her and to go later.

"alright."

——·——

Ordinary people usually wait until the Qingming Festival to pay respects to their deceased relatives.

But Mo Xie was different. He mainly depended on his mood. He would go to talk about his troubles whenever he was in a bad mood.

Looking at the countless tombstones that had appeared on the back hill, he was filled with emotion.

He was never childish, and he didn't miss his mother at the drop of a hat. He just didn't want to forget her and regarded this place as his final haven.

Humans are fickle creatures; they may forget their most important loved ones due to changes in their surroundings or those around them.

Therefore, human nature can be very complex at times.

Mo Xie has never forgotten the aunt who was very kind to him when he was a child, and he can't help but sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Suddenly, a series of crisp footsteps came from behind, light and hurried.

Turning around, I saw a beautiful figure walking towards me.

Her silver hair was tied into a high ponytail, which fell to her waist like silk and fluttered in the wind.

Perhaps because she was walking quite fast, a few strands of hair clung to her snow-white skin.

Her exquisite face was revealed, along with her swan-like white neck and delicate collarbone.

A simple long-sleeved dress wrapped around her graceful and delicate figure. Although not as large as Ye Xinxia's, her soft frame made her appear firm and full.

She wore a pair of tight-fitting jeans, which accentuated her perfect leg shape, making them appear round, long, and straight.

Perfect shoulder-waist-hip ratio!

She wore a pair of white sneakers, her steps were light and graceful.

Dressed like a girl next door, you wouldn't realize she's actually a proud and aloof queen if you didn't look closely!

Mo Xie stared at Mu Ningxue as she approached, a slight thought flickering in her heart before she calmed down.

She's only here to pay respects to her mother, but...

He sensed the increasingly imposing and chilling aura emanating from the other party, which must have been due to absorbing the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow and, in particular, the increase in strength. As a result, the torment from that chilling aura had become more severe.

After the worship was nearly finished, Mu Ningxue suddenly asked a question.

"Moye, have you found the Sky City in your heart?"

Mo Xie was taken aback, then remembered what she had said when she was a child: that when she grew up, she would find a castle in the sky and live a carefree life.

When Mu Ningxue heard this, she was filled with longing and said she wanted to search for it together so that she could become the mistress of the castle in the future.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow; the Sky City was ultimately just a product of their ideals.

"……No."

He shook his head and looked at Mu Ningxue beside him with a puzzled expression, wondering why she was bringing up this almost forgotten matter.

Mu Ningxue gazed at the azure sky without making a sound.

After a minute of silence, Mo Xie took out a glass bottle filled with water and handed it to Mu Ningxue.

"Here you go, this is the Heavenly Dew. With this, you will no longer suffer."

Mu Ningxue's body stiffened, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she stared in disbelief at the glass bottle in front of her.

Tianshan Ninglu, that's Tianshan Ninglu!
Tianshan Ninglu is a product of Tianshan snow lotus. Anyone who knows about Tianshan snow lotus knows that it is a rare and precious natural treasure that is impossible to come by!

Although it is unclear how Mo Xie obtained it, as long as she possesses the Heavenly Dew, she will not be troubled by the erosion of ice in her future cultivation and life.

but……

Mu Ningxue did not accept the Tianshan Ninglu; her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Mo Xie, as if trying to see through him.

Mo Xie couldn't stand that gaze, so she looked away and turned her head away.

"What are you looking at? With the Heavenly Dew, I've fulfilled my promise. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Ningxue suddenly revealed a poignant smile, her eyes filled with sorrow, and she spoke in a dejected tone.

"I see. You're in such a hurry to get rid of me?"

"You have no idea what I really want!"

Mo Xie's breath hitched, and her heart felt as if it had been pierced by countless needles, causing her immense pain.

"I……"

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing his appearance, Mu Ningxue understood. Her beautiful eyes seemed to glisten with tears as she forced them back. A gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face as she spoke, word by word.

"Moye, promise me you will live a good life!"

"...Um, what about you?"

"I'll live my life well too!"

Watching that proud yet lonely figure walk further and further away until she disappeared from sight, Mo Xie felt as if she had used up all her strength at that moment. She leaned weakly against a tree trunk and sat down on the ground.

Live a good life... This was the most simple and unpretentious blessing he had ever heard in his life.

I looked up at the azure sky, trying to find something within it, but there was nothing. (End of Chapter)
