Chapter 105: Mu Kongwu's Change

Mu Kongwu heard this and was somewhat dazed; she subconsciously retorted, 'Master, you have an ultimate, why do you directly open it?'

What 'big', what 'open'.

Mu Kongwu had never heard of it.

But it didn't hinder her understanding.

'Now that you've become stronger, you still want to talk back to your master?' Bai Yuan said.

Mu Kongwu stared, aggrieved, looking at Bai Yuan and said, 'Master, disciple dares not talk back to you. If you want to pull the disciple's ears, go ahead! Disciple can endure it.'

Bai Yuan immediately withdrew his hand upon hearing that, speaking solemnly: 'Kongwu, how could you think your master wants to pull your ears?'

After Mu Kongwu mentioned it, Bai Yuan actually realized as well that he had no habit of pulling ears, and he also noticed that pulling ears became more addictive; whenever Mu Kongwu made a mistake, he instinctively reached out.

No, that's not right, it's not that the more you pull, the more addictive it becomes.

Clearly, it was Gu Yue Na who infected him.

Yes, exactly, that's it!

Mu Kongwu pouted, looking pitifully at Bai Yuan; her gray-black eyes showed only disbelief.

Bai Yuan sighed, reached out to ruffle Mu Kongwu's head, and slowly said: 'Kongwu, do you know why your master lets you open your ultimate early?'

'Why?' Mu Kongwu put away her disbelief and pitiful expression, merely asking with full doubt and curiosity.

Bai Yuan said: 'Reality isn't a game; if you don't open your ultimate and the opponent suddenly opens theirs and instantly kills you, you have no chance to retry.'

Just now Mu Kongwu actually almost got instantly killed; under the shock of that supreme killing intent, she didn't even have a few chances to react.

If it weren't for her health bar being truly thick, Mu Kongwu would already be dead!

Mu Kongwu pursed her red lips, wanting to refute deep down, but finally held back and said, 'Thank you for the teaching, Master; disciple will surely keep it in mind.'

Bai Yuan lightly nodded and smiled satisfactorily.

But then he hesitated before asking: 'Kongwu, you ultimately wanted to use illusion to enrage Tang Chen; why not use the scene of intercourse?'

A man, upon seeing his beloved woman treated that way, how could he possibly restrain? Especially now, Tang Chen had long understood Bo Sai Xi's hint.

Mu Kongwu asked doubtfully, 'Intercourse? What is that?'

Before opening her spiritual wisdom, Mu Kongwu truly had no memory; after opening it, she had always stayed in one place, so she still doesn't understand sexual matters.

While Tang Chen was trapped in the illusion, Mu Kongwu only went back to look at him, retaining the most vivid part of that memory.

Bai Yuan looked at her pure eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately couldn't speak.

Actually, a cultivator who knows illusion, as long as they are shameless a bit, can break through the defenses of any ordinary person, because any ordinary person has something they care about.

Earlier, Bai Yuan actually wanted to teach Mu Kongwu to be shameless, but in the end he gave up, not wanting to corrupt his pure second disciple.

'Never mind if you don't know.' Bai Yuan sighed.

Seeing Bai Yuan's sighing appearance, Mu Kongwu stretched out both hands, grabbed his wrist and shook it, saying, 'Master, not knowing can be learned; you can also teach the disciple.'

Bai Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

'Learn? How can this be learned?'

'How can he teach it?'

After a long sigh, Bai Yuan said: 'This doesn't need you to learn. Let's go find your senior sister! She should also feel the master's downfall like you, and now she must be anxious.'

Upon hearing that, Mu Kongwu lowered her head and pursed her lips, pondered a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said, 'Master, could you wait a moment before going to find senior sister? I hope you can stay with me a little longer.'

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment.

'Kongwu, what's wrong with you?'

Bai Yuan couldn't help but reach out to touch Mu Kongwu's head, eyes showing doubt: 'You don't have a fever, do you? How did you suddenly become abnormal?'

Mu Kongwu allowed Bai Yuan to caress her, just quietly looking at him; but as time passed, her gaze grew more dazed, as if reminiscing, and a hint of reluctance appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan reached out to pinch Mu Kongwu's face, half-smiling, teasing: 'Kongwu, what's wrong with you? Although master is quite handsome, you can't stare at master like that; master also gets shy.'

'Master, I can't hold on much longer.' Mu Kongwu came to her senses, ignored Bai Yuan's teasing, remained calm, and uttered a puzzling remark.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows: 'You can't hold on? What can't you hold on? Speaking only half like that is asking for a beating.'

After a moment's thought, Mu Kongwu said, 'Master, don't ask; disciple now just wants to stay quietly by your side for a while.'

Bai Yuan furrowed his brows, his eyes flickered briefly, then he didn't press further, just sighed: 'Alright, then master will accompany you for a while, and later go find Bai Yu.'

"'Thank you, Master.' Mu Kongwu's face broke into a smile; she embraced Bai Yuan's hand like Wang Qiu'er."

This is something Mu Kongwu had wanted to do for a long time; before, she could only see Bai Yu and Wang Qiu'er being affectionate with the master, but now, having left the Five Elements Array, she can as well.

Bai Yuan said nothing, taking Mu Kongwu flying through the sky, meanwhile collecting the foundations and the Five Elements Array of the deployed Five Elements Array.

But after gathering everything, Mu Kongwu's body suddenly became illusory, as if turning into pure energy.

Around Mu Kongwu, the five-colored light symbolizing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth became ever more brilliant.

'Are you going to split?' Bai Yuan suddenly asked.

Mu Kongwu hesitated, then nodded: 'Metal, wood, water, fire, earth mutually generate and also overcome; after obtaining the Five Emperors Classic, disciple cannot resolve the mutual overcoming, so can only split into five bodies each cultivating one classic, and only after achieving great accomplishment can they reunite.'

Bai Yuan nodded, he understood, understood why Mu Kongwu said she could barely hold on, and why she underwent such a huge change.

He asked: 'Do you feel that after splitting, you are no longer yourself? Are you worried that you ultimately won't be able to merge back into one?'

Mu Kongwu was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Bai Yuan to say that; she had merely chosen to answer, simply stating the fact of her splitting, unable to conceal it.

'Master, they are all me.' Mu Kongwu said.

Bai Yuan pulled Mu Kongwu's ears, saying: 'Alright, don't show off these little tricks in front of your master.'

Mu Kongwu complained, 'Master, disciple didn't lie.'

Bai Yuan nodded: 'Indeed, you didn't lie; after all, they originate from you, so they naturally are you, are part of you, but you are not them; therefore you worry that after achieving great accomplishment, they won't consent to merge back into one.'

Mu Kongwu's red lips slightly opened; she never imagined that merely answering a few sentences would let her master get to the bottom of her situation completely clear.

Seeing this, Mu Kongwu no longer concealed: 'Master, you're right; I can clearly feel that they were forcibly united before, merely because the enemy was too strong to cope with.'
