Mo Li felt like he had a very long dream.

In the dream, he was in the vast ocean, floating with the waves. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing around him that he could grab hold of. As the waves rose and fell, Mo Li gradually lost control of his body. He could only allow the waves to sweep him away into the distance.

He was tired, too tired to open his eyes, too tired to fall asleep in the dark.

"Mo Li... "Wake up …"

"Mo Li, don't sleep, quickly wake up …"

There was a weak voice that was constantly calling out to him. It was a bit familiar, but also vaguely revealed some anxiety.

Mo Li's eyelids were very heavy, and could only open a crack.

Following the narrow gap, Mo Li saw a dim light in the darkness. He wanted to capture that light, but when he stretched out his hand, he discovered that the only light came from a distance.

"Haha …" Brother Mo Li, you lazy bum, wake up quickly! "

"Mo Li! "You stinking brat, all you know is to sleep. Hurry up and fight me!"

"Don't sleep, Mo Li. Your master will scold you when he sees you later!"

One voice after another echoed in Mo Li's ears, giving a hint of strength to Mo Li's tired body.

"Stinking brat!" Get up quickly. Have you finished the task I gave you? "You still dare to sleep!"

When the familiar old voice resounded in his mind, Mo Li felt his heavy eyelids suddenly open up.

Lying on the simple bamboo bed, wrapped in a white veil, Mo Li smelled the scent of herbs coming from outside the door.

Where is this? Didn't I just fight to the death with the people that Nan Po Yue brought with me in Tian Chi Town …

Mo Li felt a little headache as he tried his best to recall everything that had happened. He could only remember that before fainting, he had used the last bits of his strength to heavily injure South Cleaving Moon, leaving nothing behind.

It seemed that someone had saved him from the experts of the three sects.

Who was it?

The first thing Mo Li thought of was Ning Qianyu.

Under the watchful eyes of so many experts from the three sects, among all the people Mo Li knew, Ning Qianyu seemed to be the only one who had the face to protect him.

Footsteps came from outside the door. Mo Li wanted to turn his head to look, but he discovered that he didn't even have the strength to turn his neck.

"Eh? You're finally awake! " The familiar voice was full of joy, but when Mo Li heard it, his body couldn't help but tremble.

The peerless beautiful face in his line of sight filled Mo Li with astonishment.

Snowy? Why was she here? Could it be that he had already been brought back to the snowy region?

"Don't move, I'll explain it to you slowly!" As though she had seen through Mo Li's thoughts, the girl placed the medicine bowl in her hand on the table, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. "I was afraid that you would be in danger outside, so I came out to take a look.

Su Ran Xue slowly narrated the matter of Mo Li's coma. When she talked about the old man from the Cloud Chasing Pavilion preparing to chop off his head, Mo Li's slightly narrowed eyes were filled with a cold light.

The young girl also knew that this man had been stubborn to the point where even ten oxen wouldn't be able to pull him back. This time, he had suffered a loss at the hands of others.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Ran Xue slowly spoke: "Don't think too much into it right now. Your injuries are too severe this time. You must recover in peace!"

"How long will it take …?"

Her voice was very weak. If it wasn't for the silence in the room, Su Ran Xue probably wouldn't even have heard Mo Li's question.

"One year! And during this year, you must be at ease in your recovery, and must not rashly use any battle qi! "

"So long …" Mo Li frowned.

"Long time?" The young girl's delicate eyebrows twitched as she glared at the man lying on the bed. "Did you know that you almost couldn't wake up this time? During this month, I used countless healing panaceas to nurture your body every day. I used the Nine Revolutions Soul Restoring Needle time and time again to stimulate your vitality so that you could continue to live. "How long do you think it's been?"

One month?

He had originally thought that he had only been unconscious for a few days, but who knew that a month had already passed! It seemed like this time, he really did take a stroll in front of the gate of death.

The Nine Revolving Soul Needle was a needle technique passed down from generation to generation by the Medicine Sect. Since it was known as the 'Soul Reversal' needle technique, one could imagine how powerful it was.

Mo Li looked gratefully at Su Ran Xue. The injuries on his body made him not dare to move too much. He could only smile and reveal his full mouth of white teeth.

Looking at the man's smile, the anger in Su Ran Xue's heart could not be raised any further. She could only roll her eyes cutely, reached out her hand to lift the blanket on Mo Li, and gently said: "How long have you been away from Xue Yue, and you're already covered with injuries. After I brought you back, I realized that you had already used up all your battle qi. With your strength not fully recovered, you once again used up all the energy in your Dantian. Even worse was … You actually used the last bit of the Ten Thousand Year Dark Ice Needle to stimulate your heart to fight! Why are you fighting so hard? "Since I was young, I've never seen you so lacking in manners …"

Why?

Mo Li asked himself in his heart.

That's right! Why was she so desperate to go to the Heaven Lake Town to meet her? Why did he choose not to flee and fight to the death when he was being besieged by more than a dozen Fulfillment Realm experts?

After thinking about it, an answer gradually came to Mo Li's mind.

After so many years of cultivation, his mind was finally unable to compare with the determination he had gained from his previous life to this life!

In the past, he was the King of Mercenaries. Deep in his bones, he had the vigor of endless battle! He could die in battle, but he absolutely could not lose the dignity and pride that he had in his heart.

Perhaps the woman who did not want to put in so much effort to save him did not rush to his side when he was in danger, and she did not even give him a kind reminder.

The reason he went to the temporary encampment of the three sects was because Mo Li wanted to get an answer from the woman. It had nothing to do with love. He just wanted to know what exactly he had exchanged everything for.

Every man has a hero's dream of saving a beauty. Similarly, every man hopes that his own efforts can be exchanged for the gratitude of the other. In the real world, how many good people could there be?

Mo Li was a persistent man. He was a man who didn't understand what happened, so he went.

Ning Qianyu's answer made him feel slightly uncomfortable. Although he wasn't completely disappointed, there was always a trace of indescribable regret. His meeting with Ning Qianyu had made him somewhat interested in that woman who was as indifferent as water. This was probably the reason why Mo Li had given up his initial plan of escaping and chose to fight until the bloody end — men wanted to completely display their strength in front of the woman they liked.
