Chapter 375 No one can do anything
Layers of black skin quickly accumulated on Lin Dong's body, making people feel cold.

This kind of scouring lasted for a quarter of an hour, and then Mu Zi's heart moved, and the black dragon circled back and fell into the abyss behind the Death Waterfall.

As the black dragon disintegrated, the death energy merged into it. Suddenly, the color of the dark waterfall became deeper, and the deathly silence in it became purer.

"The consumption of the Dead Flame Spirit Pool has been made up." Mu Zi said to Moro.

Tang Xinlian looked up at the inky black waterfall of death, and suddenly a strange idea flashed through her mind.

The death energy washed over Lin Dong's body many times and now flowed into the Dead Flame Spirit Pool. Doesn't this mean that all the strong people who come here to practice in the future will use Lin Dong's "bath water"?

In the pool, the surface of the dry, charcoal-like thing suddenly began to crack. The cracks spread, and with a slight sound, a slender arm stretched out from it.

Immediately afterwards, the black matter separated from them one after another, and a brand new Lin Dong appeared in front of them.

Hey!
Mu Zi slowly descended from the sky, and with a light step of his feet, ripples were created in a pool of stagnant water.

Standing quietly in the pool, Mu Zi stared at Lin Dong not far away without saying a word. Her white shoes were particularly conspicuous in the dark water.

"Forehead"

Feeling this strange atmosphere, Tang Xinlian and the others looked at each other, then left the Dead Flame Spirit Pool, leaving the space to the two of them.

Lin Dong looked at the figure in front of him. At this moment, she had already shed the bright purple color, and her white clothes were whiter than snow, just like before.

"You are finally willing to see me."

After a long while, Lin Dong spoke with a complicated look, breaking the silence.

Seeing the loneliness and longing in the young man's eyes, Mu Zi's eyes were filled with ripples. Perhaps she was too heartless.

There was nothing wrong with Lin Dong liking her, but he just couldn't accept the deteriorating relationship between them.
Moreover, from the very beginning, whether intentionally or not, I broke into his life, quietly left my mark, and finally occupied the most important position.

Now, maybe it's time to reveal something.

"Lin Dong, I know how you feel about me. Maybe in your eyes, I have done a lot for you, but in fact, I am not as good as you think."

Lin Dong was a little surprised. Mu Zi's strange words made him unable to understand.

After staring at Lin Dong for a while, Mu Zi twitched the corners of her mouth and her voice became distant.

"Let me tell you a story."

Next, under Lin Dong’s gaze, Mu Zi opened her mouth softly, her pleasant voice flowing like water, telling the story.

The protagonist of the story is a young man from Qingyang Town who obtains a stone talisman, practices, rises, and then becomes stronger and stronger, leaving his footprints in this world.
However, this time, there was no girl named "Mu Zi" in the boy's life, and his story took a different path.

In the ancient tomb, he encountered the goddess, and from then on he worked hard to catch up with her. In the end, he overcame thousands of obstacles and made her rediscover herself with the attitude of a strong man.

In Dao Sect, the girl who played the piano shared the same feelings with him and they got together.

In the Demon City, facing the headmaster of the Yuan Sect, he was willing to risk his life just to let him live.
In that story, although Lin Dong had shed blood and tears, he eventually had two women who spent their lives with him.

"That's it. You'd be much happier without me."

"There was a fate between them and you, but it was destroyed because of me. Haha, I am such a hateful woman."

Mu Zi said self-deprecatingly, feeling a sense of regret in her heart. Although she had not done it on purpose, she ultimately made Lin Dong miss out on happiness.

“So I’m really not worthy of your love.”

Staring at Lin Dong intently, Mu Zi’s eyes began to waver slightly.

You probably won't like me like this, right?
However, unexpectedly, Mu Zi did not see the expected emotion in Lin Dong's eyes. His gaze remained calm, as if the previous words did not cause any ripples in his heart.

“Do you think I care about these?” Lin Dong smiled and looked at the girl in front of him with a softening look.

"Maybe it's true. If I hadn't met you, everything would have gone on like that."

"so what?"

Lin Dong's expression became serious. He looked directly into Mu Zi's eyes and said very seriously:
"To me, it's just a story. How can the experience between you and me be described in a story or a book?"

No matter how well "Martial Universe" is written, it only records a few words, which may not even be the real world. How can it be compared with the experiences of this life?
Lin Dong smiled, memories welling up in his eyes, and scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

"I only know that the person who has been with me all this time is you."

"Every day, every moment with you, every smile and every anger of yours, are the best memories of my life."

"I'm really glad that you appear in my life."

"You said that if I didn't have you, I would be happier than I am now, haha"

"Do you know what happiness is to me?"

Looking at Mu Zi who had fallen into silence, Lin Dong smiled gently, his eyes clearer than ever before.

"In this life, meeting you is the greatest happiness!"

Facing Lin Dong's gaze, Mu Zi's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly. After a long silence, she sighed softly and looked at Lin Dong with a different look, as if she got to know him all over again.

"When did you become so smooth-talking?"

“I just said something from my heart”

Lin Dong smiled and shook his head. During the days when he was separated from Mu Zi, he had tossed and turned in bed countless times, and these words had lingered in his mind countless times. Now he finally said them out loud.

With mixed feelings, Mu Zi sighed slightly, and then looked at Lin Dong with a complicated gaze.

"Let me tell you another story."

"Once upon a time, there was a conflict between a woman's husband and her father. The conflict became irreconcilable and one of them was bound to die at the hands of the other."

"The woman was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma. One was her husband, and the other was her father. She had to choose one of the two most important men."

"Do you know how she chooses?"

Without waiting for Lin Dong to answer, Mu Zi continued:

"She chose her own father because there are many people in this world who could be her husband, but there is only one biological father."

This allusion is “人尽可夫” (everyone is welcome to marry someone). It was a positive comment at the beginning, but as people continued to interpret the word literally, the meaning of the phrase changed.

“So, do you understand?” Mu Zi patted Lin Dong’s shoulder and said earnestly.

Lin Dong:?
Seeing Lin Dong's bewildered look, Mu Zi couldn't help but shake her head. The comprehension ability of this blockhead was really worrying.

"I mean, there are a lot of people in this world you can marry, but there's only one relationship like ours."

So, give up those stupid ideas quickly, my dear friend!

After leaving a few words, Mu Zi turned and left, soon disappearing from Lin Dong's sight.

Lin Dong stood there, a thoughtful look on his face.

He understood the truth, but he felt that what Mu Zi said seemed a little strange.
