Chapter 241 - 242: Mu Xiao Returns to the Mortal World
"Ancestor, I trust you’ve been well?" Mu Can looked at Mu Xiao, who was sitting there looking quite content, and greeted him.
The past is past, and Mu Can no longer harbored any resentment towards this clan elder who had once tried to possess his body. After all, Mu Xiao had protected the Mu Family for so many years; even if there were no merits, there were hardships. Plus, he received the punishment he deserved. As such, Mu Can was willing to let bygones be bygones.
"Greetings, Young Master," said Mu Xiao, who was initially sitting leisurely but sprang to his feet as soon as he heard Mu Can’s voice, bowing deeply. This bow was from the heart.
Over the past half year, he had enjoyed the most comfortable days in the Mortal World. No longer plagued by the worries of life and death, and as a Soul Body, there was an inexhaustible supply of Soul Power for him to absorb and use. Moreover, he had a bunch of kids at his disposal to drill at will.
When busy, he focused on his cultivation; when idle, he would train the younglings. Mu Xiao’s days were exceedingly joyful.
Yet, although his life was pleasant, he never forgot who gave him the opportunity to live like this—never forgetting Mu Can and Purple Cloud.
"Ancestor, please rise," said Mu Can. Though Mu Xiao currently looked like a child, Mu Can knew well he was a mysterious old creature who had lived for an unfathomable number of years. Mu Can also hadn’t forgotten the terror of nearly being possessed by Mu Xiao.
Had it not been for the Reincarnation Pearl and Purple Cloud, it would have been very likely that Mu Can would have been replaced by Mu Xiao by now.
But all that was in the past. With the strength that Mu Can had gained, he no longer considered such matters of importance and bore no grudge against Mu Xiao.
"Young Master, this old servant owes all of today’s fortune to you. You are indeed worthy of this bow," Mu Xiao shook his head, refusing to rise.
Mu Can quickly walked over and gently helped Mu Xiao to his feet. Fortuitously blessed by Purple Cloud, Mu Xiao regained his youth; abundant Soul Energy revitalized his soul as if bringing it back to life. He became younger, both mentally and physically.
