I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1221: Scared Me to Death (End of the Copy)

Chapter 1221: Chapter 1221: Scared Me to Death (End of the Copy)

Originally, you held a bit of resentment towards Li Zichen, for at the time, you didn’t understand why he did what he did, though you once doubted his motives.

But now, knowing the truth, you feel more sympathy for him.

"Li Muyun, don’t look at me with those eyes! I am not a pet; I don’t need anyone’s pity!"

In the face of Li Zichen’s incessant snarls, you instead calm down and with a tone as serene as if speaking to a stranger, you ask, "Do you want to break free from your destiny?"

Li Zichen is suddenly stunned, staring at you blankly.

After a long pause, he suddenly asks, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, do you have the courage to abandon everything from the past, to completely sever ties with your former self, and from now on, live for yourself rather than for your clan?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zichen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "How does it matter what I want? My physical body is destroyed, my soul has suffered various degrees of injuries, and repairing it is extremely difficult, let alone..."

"I can help you."

You look at Li Zichen firmly.

After the silence, he suddenly asks, "Why?"

"Gan, dammit I just want to help you, what, do you have a problem with that?"

Sometimes people can be ridiculous. You talk to him nicely and he’s as stubborn as a mule, completely idiotic; but once you start cursing, somehow it works wonders.

In the end, Li Zichen dies...

And in a small town in China, there appeared a man named Li Cheng...

Three days later, Chaotian Village.

As usual, Mother En, supporting herself with a cane, took a short walk in the woods to the east of the village, facing the glow of the setting sun, headed home draped in golden hues.

As she ambled up the hillside with her cane, she found a familiar figure busying himself.

It was a broad back. The man was dressed in a white shirt, paired with an ordinary pair of blue jeans, sleeves rolled up, wielding a wooden mallet, hammering stakes vigorously.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Watching this figure, Mother En’s eyes slowly grew misty.

For so many years, she couldn’t recall how long it had been since she last saw such a back, even in her dreams, she rarely caught a glimpse.

The man accurately positioned the stakes and then carefully repaired the fence that had been damaged by wild boars some time ago.

His work was meticulous, and his movements were practiced, as if he had been accustomed to it from a young age.

Soon, the broken fence was repaired, and the man stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and slowly turned around.

The moment she recognized the man’s face, a gentle and loving smile graced Mother En’s wrinkled visage.

"When did you get here?"

"Been here for a while now."

The man was naturally you, who had come from the Reincarnation World. You and the six ladies had recuperated on Mu Yun Island for three days until you mostly recovered, and then you made your way to Chaotian Village.

In the past three days, you have been constantly thinking about what Li Zichen said and also are somewhat eager to know why Mother En had to do that.

However, Mother En is Mother En after all. No matter what she has done, in your heart, she is still the one who dotes on you, fondly punishes you with a small bamboo stick, the same Mother En.

With a smile, you walk over, assisting Mother En to enter the house.

After Mother En is seated on the reclining chair, you casually bring over a small stool and sit down beside her, gazing at her with a gentle look.

Mother En slightly squints her eyes, looking at you, who are rendered golden by the golden afterglow, and says softly, "You, from young to now, always have the same temperament, unable to keep things to yourself."

Mother En stretches out her hand and gently strokes your head, smiling as she says, "Go ahead, tell me everything you want to know."

Organizing your thoughts, you ask Mother En, "I want to know, why did you treat Li Zichen that way."

"That is his fate." The tone of Mother En is very calm, as if Li Zichen’s life means as little to her as an insect.

"Mother En, from my childhood until now, you have always told me not to believe in fate, and now you are telling me that Li Zichen’s fate is to be my stepping stone?" Although your voice is not heavy, the speed of your speech is noticeably faster.

Quietly looking at you, Mother En slowly smiles, "So where is he now?"

"He’s dead."

You say indifferently.

"Really?" Mother En leans in closer.

"No."

You retort with a grimace.

"Little one, you’ve even learned to lie to Mother En now." Mother En pulls your hand towards her and pats the back of it gently. "Mother En has said it, that’s his fate. Little Zichen has been smart since he was a child, and could learn anything at first try, in this aspect even you can’t compare to him. When Mother En saw him, she knew that this little one was destined to be bound with the family for his whole life."

Mother En’s words instantly change your mood. It seems that there is more to the story.

She continues, "It is precisely because he is a genius that he has been constrained by the clan members from childhood. Everything he does must be for the benefit of the family. Not to mention other things, do you know that until now, the number of times he has talked to girls can be counted on two hands, unlike you, who took Little Yun’s first kiss at such a young age."

"It’s because, you know, things got serious... heh heh heh..."

You say unabashedly.

"I have watched him grow up since he was a kid, and his experiences are quite similar to mine when I was young, so it was natural for me to start thinking about changing his life."

"So, you orchestrated this whole thing?"

"Of course not." Mother En extends her hand to stroke your head, smiling, "If it was only to change his destiny, there would be absolutely no need for such a fuss. The reason I did this is to hope that you can grasp the essence of the Seal of Truesky and activate the true Seal of Truesky sooner. After all, we may not have much time left."

Upon hearing the words "not much time," you jump to your feet, looking at Mother En with a startled expression, and your body begins to tremble, "Mother En! Your, your health..."

"Silly boy, Mother En is still strong and healthy. Wait until Little Jingxing gets married and has children, I will still be around to take care of your grandchildren."

"Phew—You scared me to death."

You exhale a long breath of relief. As long as Mother En is healthy, everything else is negotiable.

You continue to question Mother En, "What did you mean by the words you just said? Saying that time is running out."

"Little Yunyun, after all, you are still young and you have experienced too little," Mother En says and then sighs softly, "The world you know, is just a drop in the ocean. The world we live in seems only so big, yet is actually vast and filled with endless changes and diversities. For ordinary people, a lifetime of a hundred years passes with the opening and closing of eyes. But in every corner of this world, there exist things far beyond the imaginations of ordinary individuals."

As she speaks, Mother En looks up at the clouds in the sky, now reddened by the setting sun, "Moreover, there are many worlds out there that we have never explored but certainly exist."
