Destroyed
“When?” Mu Yu queried.
“Three days ago,” answered Ku Mu, aware of what Mu Yu was referring to.
“How.”
“Primordial Yin Yang healed my soul.”
“They can do that? What the heck was I running around for, then? Now I feel stupid.”
“But you are.”
“Hahaha, that’s it, Dad. Now it’s feeling more like the old days with you ribbing me at every opportunity.”
“And you still haven’t stopped being a jerk.”
“You conditioned my mind, heart and soul with all your criticism in the past. I’m like a fortress against words now.”Ku Mu hid his amusement behind a false stoic visage. “Revealing Cauldron and Formation Palace are somewhat connected. I didn’t know about the feature of Primordial Yin Yang until your Primordial Yin Yang entered Revealing Cauldron.”
While Dabai and Dahei started orbiting Ku Mu, Xiaobai and Xiaohei did the same thing around Mu Yu. Xiaoshuai somersaulted between the two Primordial Yin Yangs and enthused, “You’re finally up, Mu Yu. Ku Mu was worried sick the entire time. You should’ve seen the torture he put Hun Wuxiang or what’s his name through. Ku Mu was drifting back and forth the entire time, checking on you every few minutes. By the way, he’s a spectre.”
“Really?” Mu Yu queried.
“No,” replied Ku Mu.
“Good acting.” Mu Yu smirked.
“Still childish after all these years. Do you never grow?” grouched Ku Mu.
“I remember a famous man once said I’m always a child to my dad,” Mu Yu stated whilst imitating mannerisms of scholars.
“Who’s the famous man? I’ve never heard the saying.”
“Mu Yu.”
Ku Mu decided to give Mu Yu’s narcissistic joke the cold shoulder, instead, demanding, “Fill me in on what has happened since I’ve been gone.”
“First, I went to Formation Sect and accomplished some things. You want to hear? I w-”
“I even know you’ve been to Fiend Island. I want to know what happened after you left my soul I Revealing Cauldron.”
“How do you know?”
“Soul Fixing Formation sustains my conscious. I was aware of what took place around me even though I appeared to be in a slumber. I even knew when you rolled over in your sleep.”
“Wait, doesn’t that mean you were there when Qiao Xue and I…”
“Yeah, the young are energetic,” Ku Mu teased on a rare occasion.
“Y-you debauched old man! You should know better than to peep! Y-you didn’t see everything did you? Oh my god!” Mu Yu got up to pace around with his hands on his head until he could finally calm down and sit. “Ah, what’s done is done. What did I do to deserve this? Did you get jealous? You know, I’m young, so I should be better than y-”
Whack!
“What’d you hit me for?! You’re a realm ahead of me, damn it!”
“You really think I’m that depraved? It was a joke. Is that how crooked I am to you?”
“Ahaha… My bad, my bad. I always knew my dad was a mighty hero who wouldn’t do those things. I was just complaining about my ignorance. I deserved to get hit.”
“Hmph…” Upon recalling something, Ku Mu gave Mu Yu another whack.
“What was that for?”
“I still had steam to blow off.”
“You also saw me epically climb Celestial Staircase in eight jumps and Chang Tiancheng? What score do you give me?”
“Average.”
“Out of ten?”
“Two.”
“What about my tussle with Chi Yue? Despite him being slippery and colluding with Ghost Gate, I beat him to hell and back to stop thwart his plans.”
“One.”
“What about my performance on Fiend Island? I figured out Reverend Xuan Jizi’s Fiend-Sealing Pagoda and stomped several Ghost Gate disciples.”
“Two.”
“My rescue of Pill Cauldron Sect? I even revived your beloved Pill Cauldron Sect.”
“Two.”
“No passes?”
“None.”
“No friendly bonuses?”
None.”
“No family bonuses?”
“None.”
“Come on. Give me a bonus since we’re so close.”
“Right.”
Mu Yu dropped his head in defeat, then scanned around. “Where is your body? I can use Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye to revive you now.”
“… I destroyed it.”
“Oh, destr-, what?!” Mu Yu jumped to his feet. “Do you realise I can’t revive you if you don’t have your body? Why did you destroy your body? I could’ve resurrected you!”
“Why do you think?”
Mu Yu took several short, heavy breaths and then, in a deep voice, inquired, “You know?”
“I cast Ultimate Concealment Bloody Guardian.”
“It belongs to you!”
“I gave it to you.”
“I don’t need it.”
“Since I’m your father, I must fulfil my duty,” Ku Mu explained in a soft voice.
“Will you take my life back if I call you Green-Haired-Stuttering Old Geezer?”
“I don’t like taking things back once I’ve voluntarily given them away.”
Ku Mu’s calm demeanour fanned Mu Yu’s flames as he belted, “Stop being so self-righteous! What’s the point of living for the sake of others? Are you trying to play hero? I don’t care for what you gave me! Never!”
Although he never admitted it, Mu Yu constantly felt pressured because he was spending a life that didn’t belong to him. Resurrecting Ku Mu was not just about wanting to give Ku Mu another chance at life but to get the weight of living Ku Mu’s life off his shoulders. Too bad for Mu Yu, Ku Mu knew him too well.
“I couldn’t care less if you care or not. I have no regrets.” Ku Mu devoted his attention to playing with his Primordial Yin Yang.
“Yeah? Well, I care!” Unable to contain the rage scalding his insides and skin, Mu Yu dashed to the wall of the cauldron and fist thumped it as hard as he could before lying down on the ground to calm down.
Xiaoshuai went quiet and stopped mucking around. The text on the cauldron twinkled.
