Chapter 333 Regret
"I thought that after coming to the secret realm, I would have money and be able to live a good life when I returned. I didn't expect it to be just a mirage. Heaven has been unfair to me!"
As Zhu Gengtian spoke, he became increasingly aggrieved and even started to sob.
While crying, her subordinates didn't forget to get to work, arranging the pile of crystals neatly.
"Keita, alright, you're better off. At least you've had a woman you loved. Unlike me, I'm still single today, and I regret it a little." Chen Xiu shook his head with a wry smile.
"...Yes, it happened, but Yi Niang ultimately abandoned me and went to find someone else. Brother Xiu, are you serious?" Zhu Gengtian slowly raised his head.
“At least you had it, didn’t you? What about me?” Chen Xiu said, lost in thought. “I wonder if Xiaoxiao will be sad for me after I die.”
Zhu Gengtian suddenly stopped crying.
It's not that I'm not sad anymore; on the contrary, I'm even sadder.
When life comes to an end, and you suddenly look back, you realize that you've really missed out on a lot in your life.
Things left unresolved, people left unsaid.
It's all regrettable.
If I had known I would die so young, I would have been braver, even reckless, and perhaps many things would have been different.
Mo Jiuwei rested her chin on her hand, watching the two of them with great interest.
"If you manage to get out of here alive, what's the one thing you'd most like to do?"
The two thought for a moment and then answered in turn:
"I want to confess my love to Xiaoxiao and tell her how I feel, even if she rejects me, I won't be afraid!"
"I want to open a shop, make money, and give my sister a better life."
After listening, Mo Jiuwei nodded, "Alright, let's get back to work. I'm going to take a nap."
As she was speaking, she couldn't help but yawn again, and tears were almost streaming down her face.
So the two of them watched as Mo Jiuwei curled up into a ball and fell asleep, with the thick, soft, white, and fluffy cushion she had taken out under her.
When she lay there, the white down made her little face look even more delicate and lovely, and her sleeping face was incredibly beautiful.
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.
How weak are those two? This little girl is really at ease falling asleep right in front of them, not afraid at all that they might have bad intentions?
When the two looked at each other, there was no murderous intent in their eyes, only helplessness.
They stopped talking and silently worked, bending over to tidy up the rubble on the ground.
They had never seen so many crystals in their lives, especially some of them which were of the highest quality. These sparkling treasures were laid out before them, their total value far exceeding what they had earned after so many days of hard work in the secret realm.
I was excited when I first saw them, but after looking at them for a while, they became a bit dazzling. I had to look up and clear my head from time to time, otherwise my eyes would get tired.
Well then, let's just consider this as making up for all the crystals we've been missing in this lifetime during our last days.
Mo Jiuwei took a nap, and when she woke up, she saw the two of them still working hard.
There were so many crystals in this cave that countless pieces were scattered on the ground after Mo Jiuwei blasted them. Even ten or twenty people would need to work diligently for a long time to finish, let alone two. So, although they had sorted through several piles, there were still quite a few left to be sorted.
"Have your divine senses erased from your Qiankun bags, and hand them over."
Mo Jiuwei rubbed her eyes and suddenly said.
The two worked so hard they were exhausted, afraid that Mo Jiuwei would wake up and set them on fire again if she was dissatisfied. So if she hadn't spoken up, they wouldn't have realized she was awake.
"...You took it so early?" Zhu Gengtian clutched the Qiankun bag, saying with great heartache, "It would have been better to take it after we died, so I could have worn it a little longer..."
He said that, but in the end he still obediently did it.
Chen Xiu was the same; he almost kissed the Qiankun Bag, touching it several times before finally deigning to erase his divine sense from it.
After doing all this, the two stepped forward to hand over the Qiankun bag, but who knew that as soon as they got to Mo Jiuwei's side, before they could even touch her clothes or see her, they heard a loud bang!
Flames erupted from the ground beside her, a huge ball that nearly engulfed their heads!
They were so frightened that their faces turned deathly pale, and they couldn't even scream. They just stared blankly at the scene, and then they plopped down on the ground with a thud.
"Oh dear, I forgot about the trap I just set."
Mo Jiuwei smiled, looking innocent and harmless. "If you had tried to do something to me while I was asleep, this is what will happen to you."
The two were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat!
When did she set this trap? She was right in front of them; logically, whatever she did should have been under their noses. So why didn't they see anything?
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu exchanged a glance and both shuddered.
"No, we wouldn't dare, we absolutely wouldn't dare!"
"We didn't have that idea, really, we couldn't bring ourselves to do it to you!"
They said with long faces.
"Can't bring yourself to do it?" Mo Jiuwei raised an eyebrow. "If I'm not mistaken, you already had murderous intent when you first entered the cave and saw me, didn't you?"
"That was true back then... but thinking is one thing, doing is another." Zhu Gengtian smiled awkwardly and explained, "Although we are not exactly virtuous gentlemen, we are not great villains either. Stealing treasures and killing people are commonplace in the cultivation world. Everyone has done it to some extent, but I have never killed a child as young as you."
"Yes, we really can't bring ourselves to do it. Besides... you belong to a sect. If we really wanted to kill you, we wouldn't be a match for the Immortal Sect."
Cultivation is inherently difficult for independent cultivators. If there's an opportunity to kill and plunder, no one would choose to be a good person.
When they first saw Mo Jiuwei, they had the urge to kill her, but just now, even though they had the chance and she was right in front of them, they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Killing someone and killing a young child are two different things.
Besides, if Mo Jiuwei dared to come here alone, how could her sect and her relatives and elders not care? Even if they really made a move, the outcome would probably be death.
After seeing all this, they lost all means of resistance and just wanted to behave themselves, hoping to save their lives by sheer luck.
"He can be ruthless, knows how to be pragmatic, and still has a bottom line."
Mo Jiuwei looked at the two of them with an inscrutable expression, and finally made this judgment.
Zhu Gengtian and Chen Xiu didn't understand what she meant. Seeing that she was no longer making a sound, they didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only continue doing their work.
Mo Jiuwei took their Qiankun bags and then looked them over.
The contents inside were indeed pitifully few; the two of them together couldn't even gather ten pills, and the total amount of crystals they possessed was less than a thousand.
