Chapter 259 Why Help Me
Shen Yunxi listened attentively; this was the first time she had ever heard about Shen Jiangchen.
“But General Shen Jiangchen, he doesn’t love anyone. He only thinks about cultivation and improving his strength.” Shen Tu Qingwu paused, as if recalling the rumors she had heard: “Back then, he cultivated day and night, almost to the point of neglecting to eat and sleep. Everyone said he was a cultivation fanatic.”
"For five consecutive years, he topped the Heavenly Ranking, becoming the leading figure among the younger generation in Beiyuan."
"Later, he gained the qualification to cross the Sea of No Return, an opportunity that so many people dream of! He embarked on the journey without hesitation and was never heard from again."
"As for Shen Tu Qingwu, her love for Shen Jiangchen did not diminish in the slightest because of his departure."
"She cultivated even harder, hoping that one day she could cross the Sea of No Return and follow in Shen Jiangchen's footsteps." "However, before she had cultivated to a sufficient level, Shen Jiangchen returned."
"He not only came back, but he also brought back a one-year-old daughter."
"This news was a huge blow to Shen Tu Qingwu. She stopped bothering Shen Jiangchen, perhaps realizing that they were ultimately destined to be apart."
"Later, Shentu Qingwu became the chieftain of the Shentu tribe. She married seven men and had her own children."
"But in her room, there was always a portrait of Shen Jiangchen hanging."
Perhaps, in her heart, there will always be a place that belongs to Shen Jiangchen.
Shen Yunxi had no interest in the romantic escapades of her father, whom she had never met, as told by Shen Tu Zihan; she was more concerned with Shen Tu Zihan's purpose.
"Why are you helping me?" she asked bluntly, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Shen Tu Zihan didn't hide anything and laughed heartily: "Firstly, I don't like Chen Jiaojiao, and secondly, I really want to befriend you."
Shen Yunxi looked at Shen Tu Zihan, seemingly trying to judge from her eyes whether what she said was true or false.
Shen Tu Zihan paused, staring intently at Shen Yunxi, "You are very special, and I admire you."
Shen Yunxi raised an eyebrow; Shen Tu Zihan was indeed adorably frank.
After exchanging a few more casual words, the two continued deeper into the mist.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding fog grew thicker, as if clumps of cotton were enveloping them, reducing visibility to less than ten feet.
The outlines of the trees were faintly visible in the mist, like monsters lurking in the shadows, baring their fangs and claws.
The surrounding air became damp and cold, and a chill seeped into the clothes and reached the skin.
The sounds of insects and birds that had been chirping and singing all around had completely disappeared, as if the forest had been put on mute, leaving only their breathing and footsteps echoing in the mist.
The eerie silence made Shen Tu Zihan feel uneasy. She couldn't help but rub her arms to try to dispel the chill and whispered, "It's too quiet here. It's so quiet it's giving me the creeps."
Xuan Yuan Wuhen silently followed behind Shen Yunxi and Shen Tu Zihan, his hands tightly gripping his long sword, his knuckles turning slightly white.
Suddenly, the longsword in his hand emitted a clear, ringing sound that made his hand go numb.
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. His expression changed drastically, and he drew his longsword sharply, pointing the blade into the depths of the thick fog ahead. He shouted sharply, "Be careful! There's danger!"
Almost the instant his words fell, the ground beneath his feet trembled violently, as if some enormous creature were bursting forth from the depths of the earth.
