Chereads / Ghost Marriage, the Abandoned Wife Has Three Treasures / Chapter 222 - Jian Mo and the Nightmare's Past

Chapter 222 - Jian Mo and the Nightmare's Past

"Long, Brother Long, although we had a childhood engagement, Mo Mo has always regarded you only as her elder brother. There has never been any romantic affection between us. Mo Mo has already explained this to Brother Long, but it is your own persistence."

A trace of blood stained Jian Mo's lips, adding to her delicate and beautiful appearance. She looked at Long Yu with a tinge of guilt in her eyes.

Su Zimo watched tearfully from the side, witnessing another tragedy of love. This pair of lovers would never grow old together.

"What do you mean by treating me as your brother? We are engaged, and I have treated you so well. But how do you repay me? I held you in the palm of my hand, yet you sought solace in another man's embrace. Can you justify this, Long Yu?"

Jian Mo smiled softly at Long Yu, a smile filled with tenderness, but remained silent.

She turned her head slightly and looked at Nightmare, whose face was trembling with tears.

"Nightmare, I always thought that Nightmare Warcraft had no tears. Seeing you shed tears for me, I have never doubted your love for me. But I am happy. I may not be smart, but I am not foolish either. I can see through many things; I just choose not to speak about them. Being too clever is exhausting, and sometimes being a little confused brings more happiness. You also know that I dislike a life filled with schemes and calculations. That's why I fell in love with you, for your simplicity. Nightmare, in my life, I have never loved anyone with such sincerity... My only request when loving someone is, no, don't forget me."

"Momo, I, Nightmare, will never forget you. I will use my life to exchange for your rebirth. I won't let you die. In the next life, we will both become humans. One day, I will bring you back here. The nightmares I planted can only be unraveled by you. I will wait for your return, and by then, my love will accompany you for eternity."

Nightmare held Jian Mo's hand, gazing at her stunning face. His lips, slightly cold, met hers in a deep and passionate kiss.

Only when the delicate hand in his grip slipped away did Nightmare stop the kiss.

"Ah... Ah!" Nightmare roared like a wild beast, causing the cavern to tremble.

A hint of fear flashed in everyone's eyes as Nightmare's eyes turned completely blue. At that moment, he resembled a demon, staring intensely at the group before him.

Su Zimo's heart ached deeply. Why did she feel the pain?

"Long Yu, I will make sure that the Warcraft Continent created by our ancestor, the Dragon Ancestor, remains forever immersed in darkness."

With those words, darkness slowly began to spread from the cavern.

Meanwhile, Nightmare's body gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into a blue light and embedding itself within Jian Mo's body.

The scene changed once again, and Su Zimo witnessed the meeting, love, and mutual affection between Jian Mo and Nightmare, as if watching a movie reel playing before her eyes.

Most of the scenes involved Long Yu and his despicable and vile methods of dealing with Nightmare, causing immense pain in Su Zimo's heart during their brief time of love.

Dragon Fu had deceived her, and the Warcraft Continent was now shrouded in darkness, undoubtedly related to their Dragon family.

"Miss Su, remember, everything you see in the nightmare of the Demon Nightmare Warcraft may not be real."

Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled the words spoken by Shui Xing.

"Hmph! Everything here may not be real, but is what your Dragon family says true?"

Su Zimo sarcastically laughed. Was she just lucky or unlucky? How could she encounter such strange occurrences? Since Jian Mo looked exactly like her, someone should come forward and give her an explanation, a proper explanation of why all this was happening. Su Zimo's mood became heavy as she aimlessly walked along the peripheral path of the cavern. She didn't know where she was or where she was going. The scenery beneath her feet kept changing, as if she was walking along a path someone else had traveled, or perhaps she was reminiscing about certain scenes. In any case, the scenery kept changing constantly for Su Zimo.

Suddenly, Su Zimo entered a cavern filled with blue light, exuding a masculine aura. The decor here was simple but elegant, adorned with exotic flowers and plants that gave a sense of beauty without chaos. The whole room seemed dreamlike, and it appeared to be a place where a man resided.

Just as Su Zimo stepped into the room, a frosty mist formed around her.

She looked around in surprise, wondering where the Frost Ice Vein had disappeared to. How did it suddenly appear here?

Gradually, within the blue light, a tall figure took shape.

Su Zimo felt a sense of unease as she stared intently at the figure's back.

"Who... who are you?" Su Zimo finally couldn't help but ask as the figure remained facing away from her.

"Someone who has been waiting for you," the man replied, his voice gentle.

The voice sounded familiar, and because of that familiarity, Su Zimo felt her heart trembling. Could it be...?

"Are you Nightmare?" Su Zimo's trembling voice asked, her fingertips even carrying a hint of coldness due to nervousness.

Her clear gaze was fixed on the tall figure in front of her, her hands tightly clenched together, and her beautiful cultivation displayed a slight furrow, indicating just how anxious she was.

"I've finally been waiting for you," the man's voice was gentle, yet filled with endless joy.

"Now that you've been waiting for me, why don't you turn around and look at me?" Su Zimo wanted to clarify the truth of the situation, and she needed to find answers from Nightmare. Why did Huo Feng choose tonight to bring her to this Warcraft Continent, and who was the man who brought Huo Feng to the Warcraft Continent a hundred years ago? What was the connection between Jian Mo and her? Su Zimo didn't want to believe in past lives and present lives.

The man didn't turn around, his tall figure appearing somewhat elusive.

"I once asked you, if one day I disappeared from your world, would you go through every corner we had been to together, silently recalling the memories that once belonged to us?"

Su Zimo remained silent because she didn't know how to answer his words. She wasn't Jian Mo, of that she was certain in her heart.

After a brief standoff, the man spoke gently again, "I know you would, because I am the most important person in your life, an irreplaceable one. Even though you no longer have memories of me, you still retraced the path we walked together. You asked me not to forget you, and I have never forgotten you."

Su Zimo's trembling lips couldn't stop as she took a deep breath and said, "I am not Jian Mo."

"I know you're not her. She's already dead."

Suddenly, the man turned around, and Su Zimo's beautiful eyes were filled with shock!

His face was exactly the same as the handsome face she had just seen, exuding a devilish charm and unruly yet enchanting aura.

Nightmare looked at her tenderly, his deep blue eyes filled with affection and excitement.

"I'm glad you can be reborn as a human. I know you can no longer feel my love now, but I've said it before, my love will accompany you for a lifetime..."

"You say I am Jian Mo reborn, how is that possible?" Su Zimo loudly interrupted Nightmare's words, not believing it. Her soul originated from the 21st century.

From Jian Mo's memories, she didn't know whether Jian Mo was a Warcraft or a Divine Beast, but she was certain that Jian Mo was not human.

"Didn't your master give you a treasure bag? After reading it, you will understand everything."

"Jian Mo, thank you for coming back! You will be happy. The best love in the world is to give you a lifetime," Nightmare said softly, a charming smile blooming at the corner of his lips. He looked deeply at Su Zimo before gradually becoming transparent.

Su Zimo suddenly reached out her hand, but she didn't grab anything.

"Nightmare!" Su Zimo shouted loudly, looking around, but there was no sign of Nightmare. Suddenly, a clear voice flashed through her mind, "Jian Mo, I have always been searching for that feeling, the feeling of being able to hold a warm hand on cold days, the kind of warmth that can last a lifetime, even through generations, from youth to old age, from youthfulness to feeble steps, from youthful beauty to gray hair."

"Alright! Nightmare, choose someone to deeply love and grow old with, let Mo Mo be the warm hand that will always accompany Nightmare, okay?"

Su Zimo's body was struck like thunder, and she stood there dazed, unable to regain her senses for a long time.

At the same time, Mu Yunxuan, who was pacing outside the barrier, was sweating profusely in anxiety.

Despite his skills, they were of no use against the barrier here.

Just when Mu Yunxuan was at a loss, a blue light embedded itself in the center of his brow. Mu Yunxuan felt as if he had been struck by something, he looked around, but he saw nothing. However, his sharp eyes faintly emitted a blue light.

And the sturdy barrier instantly disappeared.

"Master, the barrier has disappeared."

The Nine-Winged Golden Dragon exclaimed excitedly.

Mu Yunxuan confirmed it, indeed, the barrier was gone. He looked at the Moon Sun Jade in his hand, which had a faint glow, and a wave of wild joy surged in Mu Yunxuan's heart. Mo'er must be nearby.

"Nine Wings, descend."

Mu Yunxuan was eager to see Su Zimo.

"There's light! Dad, Mom, look, the Dark Nightmare of the Nightmare Beast has disappeared, the scenery is so beautiful! Su Zimo did it."

Long Yunqing exclaimed in delight.

The whole Long family looked over, their eyes wide with astonishment and, more importantly, filled with the joy of seeing the light again.

Especially Long Yunlan, her face filled with jealousy.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, it's beautiful. Seeing such a bright gaze, don't you feel guilty in your hearts, Long family?"

Su Zimo's cold voice shattered the joy of the family.

Long Fu and his family raised their heads in astonishment, seeing Su Zimo standing not far away with a cold and merciless gaze.

"Miss Su, what do you mean?"

Long Fu slightly evaded Su Zimo's cold gaze.

"Hmph! What do I mean? Isn't the Dragon family head very clear about it?"

Su Zimo's cold voice made everyone present feel as if they were being stabbed by ice.

"Miss Su, why haven't you come out of the Holy Pool?"

There was a trace of confusion in Shui Xing's eyes as she looked at Su Zimo in surprise. How could Su Zimo appear in front of them?

"That's because human love is so great that he couldn't bear to let the person he loved suffer even the slightest harm."

Su Zimo approached them with a mocking smile on her face. "How dare you deceive me! Who is Long Yu?" Su Zimo angrily questioned. If she had known the truth from the beginning, she wouldn't have helped them.

Ignoring their resentful glares, Su Zimo calmly opened her lips and said, "You already knew the truth. The Dark Continent is shrouded in darkness because of the despicable Dragon Yu's jealousy. The demonic Nightmare Beast sacrificed its own life to bring about the rebirth of a woman, while your ancestors used prophecies to restore your light."

"Suzi, calm down. The situation is not exactly as you saw it in the Nightmare of the Nightmare Beast," Dragon Fu furrowed his brows tightly, surprised by Su Zimo's intense reaction.

Su Zimo sneered, "Then what is it? Dragon Lord, explain yourself." She coldly questioned, feeling an inexplicable anger welling up within her. It seemed that if she didn't vent her frustration, she would never feel at ease.

"Su Miss, I'm not entirely sure of the specifics either. As the younger generation, we only know that it was a woman named Jian Mo who betrayed my father. When my father sought her out, he angered the demonic Nightmare Beast, leading to the transformation of the Dark Continent," Dragon Fu explained, observing Su Zimo's facial expression. What exactly did she see? Why was she so furious after coming out?

Upon hearing this, a cold smile crept across Su Zimo's lips, tinged with a hint of mockery. "Dragon Lord, it seems you still refuse to tell the truth."

"Humph! Su Zimo, even if my father didn't tell the whole truth, so what? Is this how you humans always act, forcing your way through? If you're capable, go back and find out the truth about that incident, instead of shouting at my father here," Dragon Yunlan's eyes filled with hatred as she stepped forward, exuding a powerful aura. She gazed coldly and maliciously at Su Zimo's beautiful face, barely concealing her jealousy. Su Zimo had been luckier than she had imagined. After the baptism of the Holy Pool, Su Zimo's body would soon undergo changes, as if being reborn. Not only would her cultivation soar, but her skin would also become increasingly radiant, something that no woman could achieve even with all the world's treasures and elixirs.

Su Zimo took a deep breath, realizing that arguing here would yield no results. Some people could defeat a lifetime with just a smile, or repay a person with a single tear. Regardless of what she did, she couldn't make up for everything. Everything was so mysterious and unfathomable, making her unable to comprehend why she had come to this world, not out of thin air, but as a result of someone sacrificing their life.

"What's the matter? Can't handle it and go back?" Dragon Yunlan took a few steps forward, emanating a strong pressure. She looked at Su Zimo with a cold and malicious smile. What would happen if Su Zimo were to die in the Dark Continent? She vaguely overheard some things about the past and couldn't help but think about the possibilities, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

Su Zimo disdainfully looked at Dragon Yunlan, recalling a saying. "Cowardly people, even if they possess boundless rage, what can they burn other than withered grass?" Indeed, just by standing here, she could sense the immense pressure radiating from Dragon Yunlan. Her current strength had almost reached the limit of this body. With the power of a Divine Profound Realm at the first stage, she had achieved a cultivation level far beyond her expectations. However, in the face of Dragon Yunlan's coercion, she showed no fear in her eyes. No matter how close to the limit she reached, Su Zimo remained undaunted. It was only through breaking one limit after another and being reborn that one could truly stand undefeated.

Su Zimo continued to stand coldly in place. The oppressive force that threatened to suffocate her still surged like a tide. Strangely, her body began to counterattack against this pressure, gradually feeling lighter. Su Zimo was surprised by this development. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she hadn't encountered any extraordinary encounters today. How could she possibly counteract someone else's cultivation?

"Chuckling, Su Zimo's laughter was as radiant as starlight, causing Dragon Yunqing and Dragon Yunyi to lose focus. 'Dragon Yunlan, is this all you've got? Even with the cultivation of a Super Divine Beast, you're still nothing special.'

Su Zimo's words sounded somewhat arrogant, but she had the right to be. The cultivation backlash that merged with her body had integrated into her limbs, filling her entire body with an intense explosive force.

Dragon Yunlan furrowed her brows, ignoring Su Zimo's words and intensifying her pressure. Strangely, her current situation was not optimistic. The immense pressure flowing out of her body was exerting no threat to Su Zimo, while she felt her cultivation rapidly diminishing.

"Lan'er, stop it!" Wutian scolded as he stepped forward, halting Dragon Yunlan and giving a gloomy glance at her.

He raised his gaze and looked at Su Zimo. "Miss Su, Lan'er is young and inexperienced. Don't lower yourself to her level. It's my fault for not disciplining her properly, which allowed her to behave so rudely. After the baptism in the Holy Pool, you have also undergone a rebirth, transforming your body and strengthening your essence and bones."

Upon hearing this, Su Zimo turned her head to look at the deep blue pool of holy water. So, it was responsible for her transformation.

"Lan'er, withdraw now. Do you want to exhaust all your cultivation?" Dragon Fu noticed the situation and stepped forward to stop Dragon Yunlan, who reluctantly retracted her pressure.

She had just exerted pressure on Su Zimo, but encountered strong resistance. However, Su Zimo had absorbed her cultivation, which was truly infuriating. The effects of the Holy Pool were remarkable, but unfortunately, it only accepted those who were destined for it. Ordinary people and demonic beasts without destiny couldn't approach the sacred pool.

However, was she going to give up? The answer was obviously no! The thought of the Mysterious Ice Snow Training made a gleam of light ignite in Dragon Yunlan's eyes. She had to find a way to obtain the Mysterious Ice Snow Training.

"Mò'er." Mu Yunxuan shouted from afar.

Su Zimo looked up in surprise, not expecting Yunxuan to find her here.

"Yunxuan." Su Zimo waved at him, feeling excited. She had thought that he would worry about her and didn't expect him to find her here.

Seeing his figure, tears welled up in her eyes.

Mu Yunxuan landed and held her tightly in his arms. In that moment, no matter who was present, his eyes were only on her.

"You little fool, why don't you listen? Who told you to venture out alone? How should I punish you?" Mu Yunxuan gently stroked her soft hair, feeling a sense of joy in reuniting.

Su Zimo smiled with gratitude, her smile filled with happiness. She was truly happy now. When she was broke, someone would give her money to spend. When she was tired, she had a shoulder to lean on. When she cried, someone cared about her sorrow. When she was in danger, someone would arrive by her side in time. In a woman's lifetime, all she wanted was someone who could warm her heart by her side.

"I've worried you, haven't I? I'm sorry, it won't happen again. It won't happen again."

Su Zimo tenderly replied, making solemn promises. Everything and everyone would become the past. She wouldn't compete with the past. What she wanted to do was to live each day of her life well with the man in front of her. She would forever remember this journey and thank the man called Nightmare.

"Miss Su, is this..." Dragon Fu looked at the intimate couple, feeling a bit embarrassed as he interrupted them. Humans were indeed more sentimental than their demonic beasts.

Dragon Yunqing and Dragon Yunyi looked at the embracing pair, a tinge of sadness in their eyes.

Mu Yunxuan released Su Zimo, then turned around, his eyes coldly gazing at them.

"This is my husband." Su Zimo initially wanted to introduce him as Mu Yunxuan, but seeing Dragon Yunlan's infatuated gaze, she involuntarily spoke the words 'husband.'

And that one word, 'husband,' filled Mu Yunxuan with immense satisfaction. His eyes, filled with tenderness, emitted a faint blue light.

Dragon Fu, astonished, couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Mu Yunxuan as if he had seen a ghost.
