Abyss Walker

Chapter 288 Miss Su

(Sorry, the order is messed up, I selected the wrong save file location, I didn't notice.)

Shui Wuhen led Yun Muhan to a secluded garden, where the environment contrasted sharply with the solemnity of the palace.

The park is a riot of color, with various flowers blooming in profusion, their fragrance filling the air and bringing a sense of tranquility and peace. The crystal-clear water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

She stopped and turned to face Yun Muhan, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. This emotion included trust in Yun Muhan, but it was more than just trust.

"Yun Muhan, do you know why I summoned you here alone?" Shui Wuhen's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

Yun Muhan's heart tightened. He could sense the deeper meaning in Shui Wuhen's words. This was not just a simple question, but a test for him.

He cupped his hands and said, "This junior is unaware; please enlighten me, Senior Shui." His respectful attitude showed his respect for Shui Wuhen and his emphasis on the information that was about to be delivered.

Shui Wuhen gazed at him and slowly said, "You possess various miracles, but that is not the purpose of summoning you here. How many wives do you have?"

Yun Muhan was completely bewildered, not understanding why she would ask this: "I only had two wives, but both of them died young due to misfortune."

Shui Wuhen was satisfied and looked Yun Muhan up and down: "You two? You don't seem like the kind of people who would be so honest! Introduce your wife to me."

"Cold and ruthless—Chu Ling Shuang!"

Shui Wuhen nodded, suppressing his restless heart.

"Delicate appearance? — Su... Liuli!"

When Shui Wuhen heard the name Su Yi, his eyes flickered, but when he heard the name Liuli, he suddenly sprang up, grabbed Yun Muhan's arm, and said coldly, "Yun... Muhan, say it again."

"Wrong, wrong, it's... Li Meng!"

Shui Wuhen pinched harder and said coldly again, "Anything else?"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! No, these are the only three I can count on!" Yun Muhan certainly didn't dare to dodge, after all, he had only agreed to the alliance with great difficulty.

Shui Wuhen released Yun Muhan and asked, "Really?"

Yun Muhan: Why does her voice sound a little aggrieved? My damn brain, who is she anyway? She doesn't seem like Ling Shuang, and Yun Xi is definitely not her. Li Meng? No, if it were Li Meng, she wouldn't have the heart to pinch me. Xi Ling?

Yun Muhan timidly asked, "...You can't be Xi Ling, can you? I remember Xi Ling didn't look like this!"

Shui Wuhen's emotions suddenly shifted, and she could no longer maintain her previous composure.

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the surrounding water elements began to gather, as if obeying her call, transforming into streams of water that continuously surged towards Yun Muhan.

These water currents seemed to have a life of their own, agile and swift, attacking every possible space where Yun Muhan could hide.

Yun Muhan could only dodge passively. His figure moved quickly through the garden, each evasion extremely dangerous. His body almost brushed past the water, and he could feel the chill and power of the water element.

Yun Muhan's figure moved like a phantom through the garden. His movements were agile and elegant, and every dodge was perfectly timed.

He did not retaliate because he understood that this might be a test from Shui Wuhen. He had to demonstrate his strength while also showing respect for Shui Wuhen.

Although Shui Wuhen's attacks were fierce, Yun Muhan's evasion was equally impressive. His figure moved swiftly through the flower-filled garden, creating a captivating battle scene against the water elemental attacks.

"Who are you? Do we know each other? If you don't stop, I...I...I'll hit you." Yun Muhan kept dodging, while his mind raced back to Ling Shuang, Xi Ling, Yun Xi, Li Meng, Liu Li, You Du, Wu Ying...Miss Su.

"Miss Su!" Yun Muhan's figure froze in mid-air. Shui Wuhen's attack hadn't stopped in time, and he fell directly into the stream. "Murder!"

"Do you realize you were wrong? So you can be this pathetic after all!"

Su Mengdie's voice carried a hint of mockery, but also a touch of reproach. She watched Yun Muhan dodge the water elemental attacks, a smug glint in her eyes.

"I have something to say to you. Come closer." Yun Muhan beckoned to Su Mengdie, gesturing for him to approach the stream.

Yun Muhan stretched out his clenched right hand, as if he had some secret to show Su Mengdie, which aroused Su Mengdie's curiosity.

As Su Mengdie reached out her slender hand to take the item from Yun Muhan's hand, Yun Muhan suddenly pulled her into the stream.

Water splashed everywhere, and their clothes were instantly soaked through by the stream.

"Are you happy now! You just had to play." Yun Muhan's voice carried a hint of joke and ease; he seemed to enjoy this sudden prank.

Su Mengdie turned her head and looked angrily at Yun Muhan, her expression showing both surprise and dissatisfaction. "Weren't you dead? How come you're in Zhongzhou?"

Her words revealed her concern and confusion for Yun Muhan. Clearly, Yun Muhan's sudden appearance surprised her and also brought many questions.

"Let's not talk about this now, we have important things to do." Yun Muhan picked up Su Mengdie and walked towards the room near the garden.

"Don't carry me... I can walk by myself."

Dugu Jianling: What connection do we have with Miss Su? Why is Miss Su acting this way?

Yun Muhan: I don't know, but... I understand what Mengdie means. She must have suffered a lot along the way.

Dugu Jianling: Is it Binghe's 'Bone-Piercing Wind'? Or Su's master's 'Nine Tribulations of Frosty Heaven'? Or perhaps...

Yun Muhan: "Su Mengdie... am I that butterfly? Water without a trace... is it truly without a trace? And why did you personally... leave yourself with an indelible crack?"

Dugu Jianling: Perhaps everything was already destined when we passed through the bamboo forest. Now that Su Gu is here... Mistress Su, will you still choose to leave?

Yun Muhan: I... must make them pay the price for Ling Shuang. If Ling Shuang were still alive, perhaps... no, I would still ascend to the God Realm.

Dugu Jianling: For our promise.

————Demon Realm————

Several figures were discussing something.

"My lord, the next mission is to assassinate the former master of Windwalker Valley in Central China—Windwalker-Pointout, but Central China is too complicated."

"I'll handle it. He's just a minor valley master; a single spider lily will suffice."

"A spider lily that can't even penetrate my defenses? You think you can use it to assassinate the incredibly fast Windranger who's capable of killing a god of calamity? You think you can just break through my defenses?"

The shadowy figure who had been sitting in the main seat finally spoke, "Sha, Hua, since you two are not convinced by each other, then you two should settle this."

"Sir, this..."

"I can manage on my own. Let this delicate flower continue to be cared for in the Demon Realm!"

A figure appeared, his waist tag bearing a large "壹" character. "Windwalker - Pointing Out, you are not someone I can handle, sir. Send me there."
