Chapter 1610: Pampered to the Heavens
Chu Mo looked speechlessly at his excited sister. As her words became more and more exaggerated, he couldn't help but dampen her enthusiasm: "Are you sure, with brother behind the scenes, you can control the overall situation? And not be kicked aside the day everything is accomplished? Or be sold out by our own people before it's even completed, then hunted by those ancient clans?"
"No, no, no." Chuchu looked seriously at Chu Mo: "It's not like you think, it has to be mysterious! Mysterious! Mysterious!"
Repeating it three times, Chuchu looked solemnly at Chu Mo: "Brother, although we've just reunited, I feel like I understand you very well. You are too proud to bow your head for anything. Moreover, no matter what you do, you always exude a kind of grandeur beyond imagination. Whatever you do, it's always with integrity. But actually, this is not feasible. It doesn't mean it works every time. In this world, a lot of top cultivators, no doubt, are broad-minded and virtuous people. But at the same time, demons and monsters... are never lacking!"
Chuchu took a deep breath and then exhaled, looking at Chu Mo: "So, when means can be employed, they must be used! When doing great things, don't fuss over small matters, and don't care about the process. The result... we win! That's the best!"
Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh: "Chuchu, you know, it's always brother who talks others into it like this."
"Oh please." Chuchu rolled her eyes at Chu Mo: "This isn't talk, it's the truth. Leave it to me, brother. I now know. How heavy the burden on you is. You have to find sister-in-law, go against that Spiritual Master Lingtong whose true intentions are unknown, and investigate the murderer of the Chu Clan's former royal family. Moreover, you must also guard against... that one!"
Chuchu dared not speak the words "Great Ancestor," only pointed towards the sky with her finger.
"Not only that, but there are many things you must care and pay attention to, the affairs of friends around you, my matters, and many more. So, you must share some of the burden with us. You can't bear everything by yourself. Doing so will lead you to collapse." Chuchu said with some emotion: "Who knows, in the cycle of karma, maybe during the Chu Clan's royal era, we were siblings. Otherwise, why would we be so close? Why would our minds resonate?"
Chu Mo showed a smile: "Rest assured, I'm actually not that obstinate, having someone to share the burden with is undoubtedly good. Yet, the suggestion you made, I think, still needs careful consideration."
"Brother thinks it's unreliable?" Chuchu looked at Chu Mo with a smile.
Chu Mo nodded: "I feel you shouldn't be so naïve, the human mind is the most complicated thing in this world, you speak of uniting young disciples from various ancient clans. If you want them to dread us in the future, you'll have to select those who are true descendants. Moreover, their status cannot be too low. As such, how can you ensure that they will ultimately accept someone like me?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Chuchu's face. She whispered: "Brother, you don't need to show yourself, from beginning to end, don't appear. Leave this matter to me. If it's about fighting, I'm probably not good. But for something like this, I believe I can definitely do it well. Oh right, brother, you came back from the Gray Land, are the beings there stirring again?"
Chu Mo looked at Chuchu, not quite understanding what this girl wanted to do. But he still nodded: "Yes, the beings in the Gray Land should soon attack."
"Then, let our first battle start from this! Brother, I will portray you as a spiritual leader. You can then attend to what you need to do. When truly needed, brother just needs to cut a few people's divine personalities. And in this process, I will absolutely ensure brother's safety." Chuchu looked at Chu Mo: "Also, one more thing, does brother have ambition for power?"
Chu Mo shook his head: "No, but you do."
"Hehehe..." Chuchu couldn't help but laugh, shyly looking at Chu Mo and said: "Brother found out, why would you still say it out loud?"
As she spoke, Chuchu's aura changed, she sighed softly: "Back then, I stepped onto the ancient battlefield because I didn't want to stay in the Luotian Grand Universe anymore. Because that way, I feared I'd go mad from suppression. I want to stand at the top of this world, want to become a true queen! Not forever that crazy girl in others' eyes."
At this moment, Chuchu's aura was vastly different from before. But Chu Mo seemed not at all surprised, there was a telepathic connection between the two, he could feel from the start, that strong unwillingness in Chuchu to be beneath others.
"To think, after entering the Tunnel, I found myself falling into a big pit, so much for the queen's dream? Just being a woman properly was almost a luxury. Feihong is truly a good man, he has no ambition, no ulterior motives. He seems like a bored aristocrat fond of wandering aimlessly. He always liked me, I actually... wasn't unmoved. But before today, I didn't dare accept him at all. Because I had no ability to protect myself. My lifeline was held in others' hands..."
Though Chuchu spoke softly, Chu Mo could sense the sadness in her heart.
"But now, it's different." Chuchu looked at Chu Mo: "Between us siblings, there's a magical telepathic bond, I can feel that brother doesn't have such ambition, if he did, sister would be willing to assist brother all the way to become the king of this world! But brother doesn't, then please help sister reach the pinnacle of this world! Only with such power can we, perhaps, truly unveil all conspiracies, reveal all secrets. Only then... can we avenge our former family!"
Chu Mo quietly looked at Chuchu, the magical telepathic bond between the two was very close, he knew, Chuchu's words were indeed from her true heart.
She probably never shared such words with anyone else before. Only in front of him did she feel at ease and bold enough to say them aloud.
Because they were naturally close to each other, because they would never betray each other.
Chu Mo stood up with a smile, walked over to Chuchu, gently hugged her, and then said: "Since my little sister wants to be a queen, as her brother, I shall fully support her."
Chuchu extended her arms, hugged Chu Mo's waist, then happily rubbed her cheek against Chu Mo's chest for a long time before letting go, taking two steps back, and vigorously waving her fist.
"Shall we cut the divine personality now?" Chu Mo looked at Chuchu: "Actually, even if we did, it doesn't really matter."
"No, can't cut it now." Chuchu said seriously: "It's not the right time, can't alert the enemy. Actually, I know, having the divine personality in the mind for too long can slow down cultivation speed. But it's okay, that takes a long time. And I don't need too high a level right now."
"Alright then." Seeing Chuchu insist, Chu Mo nodded: "You take care, do you want the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods?"
"No, the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods should stay with brother; don't give it to anyone!" Chuchu said: "After meeting with the Kunpeng... brother should return first, I will communicate these things with Feihong, rest assured, he will definitely support me. With his support, everything in the early stage can proceed smoothly. As for brother, after returning, you just need to focus on finding the whereabouts of the two sisters-in-law. Also, if brother really encounters Spiritual Master Lingtong..."
At this, Chuchu paused slightly, then said: "Don't fight him, I believe, he set up such a big game, it's unlikely to solely harm people."
"Okay, I promise you. Your two sisters-in-law are still in his hands, I can't possibly provoke him either." Chu Mo smiled.
Soon after, Luo Feihong returned and told Chu Mo and Chuchu that the matter had been settled, and they just needed to wait a few days here.
Chuchu looked at Luo Feihong and said: "Alright, if these few people come over, don't send them back."
"Huh?" Luo Feihong was slightly taken aback, then a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes: "Sure, sure!"
"..." Chu Mo watched on the side, speechless. He couldn't believe Luo Feihong was a foolish person, someone who could be played by a woman. How could someone with deep knowledge of the way of reincarnation be an idiot?
But the scene before him really left him speechless. Is this the power of love? The only force in the universe that can drive anyone of any race or cultivation to madness?
Chuchu also looked at Luo Feihong, both angry and amused: "Aren't you going to ask what I want to do?"
"Who cares." Luo Feihong said with an air of bravado: "What's wrong with asking for a few people temporarily? Even if tricked, what's the harm?"
"Then, what if I want to establish a whole new power? At that time, going against all the ancient clans, including the Luoshui Family?" Chuchu asked, smilingly.
"Wow, great, I've long wanted to do this! Just never had the chance, and besides... besides..." Luo Feihong said sheepishly: "I don't have that capability."
"..." This time Chu Mo was completely speechless, he finally saw it now. Luo Feihong wasn't a fool, just that in his bones, he was too rebellious, filled with hostility toward any power, even if it's his own family's, he found it displeasing. And besides, Luo Feihong liked Chuchu... way too much. He practically worshipped Chuchu. This kind of affection, Chu Mo could plainly feel, was truly genuine. Free of any other factors.
Yet, this doting, combined with Chuchu's nature, in the future, this poor fellow would really be under her thumb.
But perhaps in his heart, he enjoys such a feeling.
