Chapter 341 The clone is actually stealing the original's wife?! Should this clone...?
Chapter 341 The clone is actually stealing the original's wife?! Should this clone...?
Wang Lin ignored Lin Dong and Xiao Yan's speculations.
His gaze was fixed on the void where Lu Mo had disappeared, his brows furrowed, and his heart was already churning with turmoil.
Lu Mo's words were like cold needles, piercing his burning desire to revive Li Muwan.
"Forcibly reviving Wan'er now... without the support of her fundamental essence... will soon truly dissipate..."
These words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
Like a maggot clinging to a bone, it's impossible to get rid of.
Is it really not the right time?
Is it right to follow the "predetermined" path and wait for that vague and uncertain opportunity?
Do not!
Wang Lin shook his head abruptly, a hint of obsession flashing in his eyes.
He had waited too long and planned too long. Now that the storm clouds had dispersed and the biggest obstacle had been eliminated, he absolutely could not give up just because of a few words from a "future clone"!
"Wang will walk his own path, Wan'er, we must save him today!"
Wang Lin roared inwardly, completely suppressing that trace of doubt.
He couldn't wait any longer and didn't want to wait any longer.
Without further hesitation, he took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and the Yuan energy within his body, which had become somewhat sluggish due to continuous fierce battles, surged forth once more.
The concept of reincarnation and life and death was forcibly activated, transforming into gentle yet firm forces, like trickling streams, carefully probing into the depths of Zhou Ru's sea of consciousness to touch and awaken the long-dormant... soul of Li Muwan.
As the secret technique was activated, Zhou Ru's brows furrowed slightly on her previously peaceful face, which had been calm due to her sleep, and her long eyelashes began to tremble gently.
Wang Lin's heart jumped into his throat.
His eyes were filled with unprecedented anticipation and tension as he stared intently at that face that was a mixture of youthful innocence and familiarity.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Zhou Ru's eyelids struggled a few times before finally slowly opening.
Those eyes initially held the bewilderment and confusion of a child just waking up.
She looked at Wang Lin, who was so close to her, breathing slightly rapidly, and her small mouth opened slightly as she uttered a sleepy, childish voice:
"uncle……"
That cry of "Uncle" was like a bucket of ice water poured over Wang Lin's head in the dead of winter!
His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.
All that anticipation and joy was instantly shattered by that address.
How could it be... how could it still be Xiao Zhouru?
Where is Wan'er?
An indescribable sense of panic and loss gripped Wang Lin's heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
However, just as Wang Lin was terrified and at a loss for what to do...
Zhou Ru's expression suddenly underwent an extremely subtle change.
The child's innocence and confusion receded like the tide, and a gentle, sorrowful, and affectionate quality belonging to an adult woman slowly emerged.
She looked at Wang Lin with a complex expression, containing endless love and reluctance, as well as a hint of determination.
She spoke again, her voice still Zhou Ru's.
But their tone and demeanor are completely different.
That was the familiar sight that Wang Lin had longed for day and night:
"Senior brother..."
It's Li Muwan!
She is awake!
Wang Lin was startled, and a huge surge of joy welled up in his heart again. He instinctively reached out to step forward.
But Li Muwan shook her head slightly, her voice carrying a heartbreaking tenderness and firmness: "Senior brother, there's no need to say anything... I know all this. This child's soul is pure and has been with me for a long time. I... I really can't bear to take her life and take over this body."
Wang Lin's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Wan'er! Don't be foolishly kind! I've waited all these years for this day! How can you expect me to let go?!"
"Senior brother, Wan'er understands your feelings."
Li Muwan's voice was gentle, yet carried an unwavering resolve.
She gazed at Wang Lin, as if trying to etch his image into the depths of her soul. "That's why Wan'er can't let you bear this sin for me. Why force yourself to do things you don't want to do for my sake..."
Her speech was slow and deliberate, but her movements were faster than anyone could react!
Before she finished speaking, a wave of soul essence dissipation suddenly erupted from Zhou Ru's body!
In front of Wang Lin, she chose to destroy her newly awakened soul without hesitation!
She wanted to use this method to completely sever Wang Lin's hopes and also to fulfill her own feelings of pity for Zhou Ru!
"No!! Wan'er—!!"
Wang Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching roar!
He frantically urged his divine sense and used various secret techniques to stabilize his soul, trying to prevent the dissipation of that soul power.
But that destruction was Li Muwan's own choice; it started from within, resolute and thorough.
Wang Lin's power was like trying to stop quicksand with his palm; he could only watch helplessly as that familiar aura became weak and transparent at an alarming speed.
At this critical moment.
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Wang Lin!
He remembered that a long time ago, Situ Nan had casually mentioned that the Heavenly Reversal Pearl was mysterious and unpredictable, and might have the effect of nourishing and healing remnant souls!
The flame of hope has been rekindled, however faint, but it must not be given up!
Almost instinctively, he summoned the heaven-defying pearl that had been with him for so long at top speed.
The Heavenly Reversal Pearl floated in mid-air, emitting a hazy and gentle light.
Wang Lin disregarded everything and guided the few remaining fragments of Li Muwan's soul that were about to completely dissipate into the world, carefully leading them and finally bringing them all into the halo emitted by the Heavenly Reversal Pearl.
With a slight flash of light, the Heavenly Reversal Pearl returned to its calm state and slowly fell back into Wang Lin's trembling palm.
Zhou Ru's body trembled slightly, and the clarity of a child returned to her eyes.
She looked at Wang Lin, who was pale and seemed to be going crazy, with some confusion, and timidly called out again, "Uncle..."
However, Wang Lin ignored it.
He clutched the Heavenly Reversal Pearl tightly in his palm, as if clutching his broken heart and the last glimmer of hope.
He couldn't believe that Li Muwan would choose to destroy her own soul right in front of him.
You should know that he used to cultivate immortality to get ahead in life.
Later, he cultivated immortality in order to resurrect Li Muwan.
If Li Muwan dies, what's the point of him cultivating immortality?
"Big brother, second brother's love life is quite complicated, he's even involved in a love triangle..."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yan in a daze and asked.
Wang Lin hadn't talked much about his personal life in the group chat before, especially about his love life.
Therefore, he was very interested in Wang Lin's romantic history.
He really wanted to know if the man in black who looked so much like Wang Lin was Wang Lin's brother.
If so.
It's rather shameful for the two brothers to fight over the same woman!
Zhu Chen rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan, annoyed: "Why do you always think such nonsense? That man in black is also Wang Lin's clone..."
Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing this: "Holy crap, the clone is actually trying to steal the main body's wife? This clone is no good!!"
