【Law of the Abyss】

Mu Bei watched helplessly as the vitality in her body slipped away, and he could do nothing.

When he thought that it was all his fault that Maureen became like this, he felt even more upset.

Scenes of the two of them getting along together, her smile, her tenderness, her indulgence emerged in his mind.

It turned out that, unknowingly, she had already occupied a place in his heart.

"Maureen, don't die. I won't allow you to die. We haven't gone out yet. It's too cold here. You shouldn't stay here."

A smile flashed across Maureen's face, and she remembered that she was not Wu Lin, she was Maureen.

She was taken away by the man named Wuxin, who asked her:

"You want to save him."

"Of course, he is the one I care about most."

"Then you will pay the price."

"it is good."

"Straightforward, don't you even ask what the price is?"

"No, I'm willing to do anything."

"Then stay in this Wuxin City, become Master Wu Lin, and help me manage those who have lost their hearts."

"Okay, then my heart..."

"Of course I want to stay in this Heartless City and become a part of the Heartless Tree."

"Without a heart, would I still remember him?"

"What do you say?"

The man reached out for her chest, and Maureen stepped back subconsciously.

She was not afraid of pain, nor of losing her heart, but she was afraid of forgetting him and never thinking of him again.

The expected pain did not come, and the expression on the man's face changed.

"Your heart..."

"What happened to it?"

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

"You are indeed born to stay in this Wuxin City."

Maureen didn't understand why the man was laughing, nor did she understand what he meant by his words. She only knew that the way he looked at her was very terrifying.

“It’s really interesting that there are half-hearted people in this world.”

"What is a Half-Hearted Man?" Maureen was puzzled.

“A man with a half heart has only half a heart.”

"Only half of my heart, what about the other half?"

"You have to ask yourself, where do you put your significant other's heart?"

"I don't know. I don't know anything."

The man slapped her chest, and a thin red ribbon came out from his palm, fell on her chest, and quietly went in, tightly wrapped around her heart. She only felt a pain in her chest, and then she remembered nothing.

When she woke up, she became Lord Wu Lin and had forgotten all her previous memories.

Now she remembered everything, and the red ribbon tied around her chest broke into pieces and fell into her palm.

She reached out and touched Mu Bei's face. Mu Bei held her hand. Her hand was so cold, like a winter river, taking away all the warmth.

"Maureen, what's wrong with you?"

"You can't die?"

"Why didn't it work?"

Mu Bei tried his best to send spiritual power into her body, but her meridians were full of holes. His spiritual power went in and out again, and it was of no use at all.

"Mubei... do you... like it..."

"Yes, I like you, Maureen."

"You must hold on, there will be a way, yes!"

Mu Bei could no longer suppress his inner feelings, he liked her.

Yes, he liked her, and only now did he face his own heart clearly.

He likes Su Lin and Maureen.

His first time was given to Maureen, and she was special in his heart.

"Forgot...I..."

A faint smile appeared on Maureen's lips. It was great that he liked her too.

She is not a substitute, he likes himself.

But she couldn't accompany him anymore, so she let him forget about her.

"I won't let you say that, no!"

Maureen's eyes gradually closed, her hand slid from his cheek, her body was like ice, no matter how hard she tried to warm it up, she couldn't.

"Maureen!"

Mu Bei shouted her name loudly, but she could no longer hear it.

Her body began to become transparent and gradually melted away...

"no, do not want!"

No one knew, only the wind knew that Maureen was dead and disappeared completely.

She didn't even want to leave her body behind. He heard the wind passing by his ears, leaving behind a sentence.

"Mubei, we will meet again, thank you, my love!"

Maureen's voice drifted away in the wind.

Suddenly, red rain began to fall from the sky. It was not rain, but countless flying red ribbons.

They were flying around in the air, Mu Bei was stunned, and he subconsciously took out the Meteorite Sword.

The silver sword energy and the red ribbon were entangled together. Soon, under the sword energy, the red ribbon broke into pieces, like red petals flying in the sky, falling down one after another.

Mu Bei looked up, and under the countless red petals, he seemed to see Maureen, who was smiling at him.

Mu Bei stretched out his hand and wanted to touch her, but he felt something heavy on his palm.

He looked down and saw a red scale, as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear, and shining like a ruby.

Looking more closely, he realized that it was not a whole scale, but half a scale, like a heart missing half.

It lay quietly in his palm, with a slight warmth to the touch.

"Heart? Maureen, is this your heart? Why is there only half of it?"

The only thing that answered him was the wind.

"Brother, don't be sad." It was Xinyi's voice.

Mu Bei came back to his senses and remembered something.

"I……"

"Brother, she must not have left. She turned into the wind, the rain, the clouds, and everything in this world to accompany you."

Xinyi's voice had a hazy and dreamy feeling, which made Mubei believe what it said.

Yes, she must not have left. She was in his heart and in every moment when he thought of her.

Mu Bei walked out of the room and stood outside the red door, looking outside. There were countless shaking hearts below.

"Brother, have you found the Heart of Wood?"

Xinyi's words echoed in his ears.

Mu Bei leaped down from the tree. The green spiritual power was like a safety rope wrapped around his waist, bringing him safely to the ground.

He stood under the big tree, closed his eyes and opened them again. He saw a huge energy tree. He thought, that must be the tree.

Energy balls of various shapes are hanging on the energy tree, some are flickering, and some are very quiet.

Mu Bei's eyes swept across each energy ball. Suddenly, a green light flashed in front of him, and he saw a very special energy ball.

It is green all over and flashes with light. It looks like a green little man with leaves growing on his head. It is very small, about the length of two palms and the width of one palm.

When it moved, the leaves above its head swayed with it.

"Mu Zhixin, is that you?" Mu Bei called it.

It glanced toward him nervously, and the two men locked eyes for a moment.

The green little man actually slowly smiled at Mu Bei, "Mother!"

The crisp sound of "Mom" startled Mu Bei. He looked around and found that there was indeed no one there except him.

Could it be that the little green man was calling him?

As if to verify his thoughts, the little green man ran straight towards him, hugged his pants, and choked with sobs.

"Mom, why did you come just now? I'm almost bored to death here."
