Chapter 523: Seven emotions and six desires and the ties of love, growing wildly

~8 min read 1,453 words

Tang An walked forward, touching Nezha's cheek, and the bloodstains all over him.

At that moment, Tang An incomparably clearly saw the look Nezha gave her before he died.

She also clearly saw how Nezha activated the great killing weapon, and how he perished together with the demonic beast.

When she saw Nezha voluntarily give up struggling and fall into the demonic beast's mouth, Tang An went to beat her chest unconsciously.

She couldn't catch her breath; she felt her heartbeat was chaotic, as if it would burst in the next instant.

"I will save you, I will find a way to save you."

Tang An went to probe Nezha's Primordial Spirit, but found his Primordial Spirit was empty.

"How could it be like this?"

"Why would it be like this?"

Even if he burned his Primordial Spirit explosively, he should have left some remnant souls.

Tang An then looked at the Purifying World Green Lotus; the most likely result was that his final Primordial Spirit was all ground away by that rich innate violent Qi...

"Are you stupid?"

"I clearly made all the preparations, clearly you only needed to drag out enough time, why did it become like this?"

"I gave you the great killing weapon to kill the enemy, why did you have to kill yourself? Huh?"

Tang An questioned Nezha; at other times, Nezha would have been asked to hang his head, like a child who did something wrong.

"Say something?"

"Say something!"

But no matter how Tang An shook his shoulders, Nezha could no longer speak to her.

The Universe Ribbon flew out from Nezha's body, as if drifting with the wind, covering Tang An's eyes.

At that moment, she saw Nezha inside the Universe Ribbon.

No, to be precise, it was a trace of Nezha's divine sense, saying his final farewell to her.

He stood suspended there, still in his lively appearance, his words filled with heartache and guilt.

"Sorry, choosing this way to say goodbye to you."

"During this time, I saw all your pain. Not only are you afraid, but I am also afraid that one day, you will call me the Great God of the Three Altars like the Bedside Granny."

"Walking all the way here, I really tried everything to help you."

"It's just that after thinking and thinking, the only thing I could think of was to protect you in this way."

"Using my death to stimulate you to rise up with a heart of resistance. Only then can you resist the fading of your seven emotions and six desires, and live like a human, with emotions and understanding of sorrow and joy."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, as long as Tang An is ultimately still Tang An, no matter what price is paid, I am willing."

Nezha shed tears as he spoke, unable to hide his intense reluctance.

"Don't blame me." He was afraid Tang An would blame him, afraid she would be angry, afraid she would be sad and heartbroken.

"In this man-eating world, only by resisting our own fate can we find a way to live."

He came before Tang An and brushed the stray hair on her forehead behind her ear.

"You must, you must live well."

"I will later..."

"The roasted sweet potatoes you love to eat, I have already planted them on Huashan. In the future, if you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, you can let... let..."

He was so reluctant; he didn't even want roasted sweet potatoes to be replaced by others.

He really wanted to stay by her side, just like before, noisy and bustling, being bullied by her and running around the sky.

Tang An watched Nezha's body gradually approaching transparency, and a sense of panic surged in her heart.

"I, I have emotions."

"Nezha, don't go, I have emotions."

Tang An gasped for air, tears swirling in her eye sockets. "Don't go, okay?"

She reached out to grab Nezha's hand, but grabbed empty air.

Nezha's eyes revealed joy. "It seems, this is still useful. Since that's the case, then it's not a loss."

"Don't go..." Tang An looked at Nezha pleadingly. "I beg you, don't go..."

Nezha's eyes were filled with tears, his face with a smile.

He wanted to finally embrace Tang An, but before he could embrace her, Nezha's divine sense dissipated into stars.

"Don't go!"

Tang An rushed out wanting to hold him, but rushed into empty air, kneeling in mid-air.

"Master." Sun Wukong and Yang Jian wanted to go up to support Tang An, but were pushed away by a burst of energy on Tang An.

She propped herself up with her arms wanting to get up, and when she looked up, she saw Nezha lying before her, without any vitality.

"Thump thump!"

"Thump thump!"

"Thump..."

The scenes of her playing and making trouble with Nezha in the past emerged; Tang An felt her heart hurt so much that her face turned bright red, and blue veins bulged on her neck.

As if suffocated to the point of being unable to breathe, she instinctively beat her chest forcefully.

Once, once, and once again.

Every energy fluctuation that shook out pushed Sun Wukong and Yang Jian further away.

"Pfft~"

Until she vomited blood from beating herself, falling in mid-air.

"Master!" Sun Wukong and Yang Jian finally could get close to her side, anxious to check how her injuries were.

Tang An lay flat on the ground, still turning her head and vomiting blood.

And the pain in her eyes gradually deepened; the seven emotions and six desires she had been deprived of, as well as the ties of love she had cut off with her own hands long ago, were growing wildly at this moment.

The more they grew, the more clearly she could perceive the pain.

"Master, I'll go find Taishang Laojun." Yang Jian wanted to go invite Taishang Laojun to come and save her.

But Tang An grabbed Yang Jian's hand, turning her head to look at Nezha's remains.

She didn't speak, just tears falling like rain, her lips trembling, heart aching to the point of being unable to breathe.

That heart that had long been numb was like being sliced piece by piece by a knife, hurting to the point where she couldn't say a single word.

"Master." Sun Wukong and Yang Jian couldn't bear to see Tang An and Nezha become what they were now.

Clearly when they came, they were still in the mood to play around and deal with the Primordial Demon.

How could things develop to this point in less than a day?

Tang An propped herself up from mid-air, walked to Nezha, and knelt down, holding his body in her arms.

She stroked his cheek, just as he had brushed away stray hair for her many times.

She opened her mouth wanting to speak to Nezha, but she was crying and laughing, unable to speak at all.

"Ah!"

"Ah!!!"

"Ah!!!!!!!"

Every shout of Tang An was like a phoenix weeping tears, a cuckoo crying blood, filled with endless pain.

And her full head of black hair also turned into a full head of white hair in an instant.

Yang Jian and Sun Wukong couldn't bear it and didn't dare to look at the two of them at all.

That kind of pain, they felt the same, but they didn't feel it as deeply as Tang An.

The four of them, master and disciples, just stayed silently like this. It might have been two hours, or it might have been longer.

Until Tang An gradually calmed down, wiped the bloodstains off Nezha's face, and sacrificed the Purifying World Green Lotus, restoring all the scars on his body to their original state.

"I will save you back."

"It was agreed, none of us will accept our fate."

Seeming to have made up her mind, Tang An put Nezha's body into the Purifying World Green Lotus to nourish it.

"Is Master going to seek Nuwa?" Sun Wukong thought that if there was still someone in the Three Realms who could save Nezha, it should only be Nuwa's creation power.

Tang An sneered when she heard the two words 'Nuwa'.

"If it weren't for her scheming from Yunxiao in her previous life, how could there be this situation today."

Afterward, she tied the blood-stained Universe Ribbon in her hair, then wore the Universe Ring around her neck, and used the Wind Fire Wheels as earrings.

Using this to remind herself at all times that she must never be deprived of her seven emotions and six desires again.

"Instead of begging her, it's better to rely on myself." ===== CHAPTER 524 =====
