Chapter 1041
I Want to be More Prim and Proper
Mu Yu tucked Tian Ran in after carefully rolling out of bed, ensuring he would not wake her up. Mu Yu offered Xiaoshuai a snack so that the latter would spend the night at Village Chief Bu’s place for the night. Mu Yu went to sit on a rock at the tallest peak at Formation Sect to peer eastward, soaking up the warm sunrays as he ran through Dustfallen Mental Cultivation.
“Oh, damn, jumped all the way to Ascension Realm Fourth Layer overnight after sleeping with Tian Ran.”
“Why did you choose to develop your relationship with her when you’ve prepared yourself to lose your life? Don’t you find yourself selfish?” impugned Ju Mang.
“What do you reckon the correct decision was, then?”
“You should leave her so that she can find someone who loves her more than you do.”
“Nobody loves her more than I do – minus her parents.”
“You certainly don’t sound like you’re prioritising her over yourself. If you like her, you need to learn to push her away. Ruthlessness now will be kindness in the future.”
“That’s silly logic. She has no shoulder to lean on right now. If I push her away, where will she go, wander around until Third Heaven Palace kidnaps her? After I rescue Shifu and Dad, they will take care of her on my behalf. I can leave her side once she has someone to take care of her. Everyone will have to say their goodbyes sooner or later. Until then, I want to do what I can for her and enjoy what time we have together.”
