A visitor

Darkness felt a sudden unease, then Hell seemed to understand something and chuckled, "How interesting. Too bad I've never been in a relationship, and I've even messed up one." He then pulled his chair back a little, as if a card game was about to begin and he wasn't going to participate.

Oga asked, puzzled, "Hell? What do you mean?"

Bai Wunan chuckled and said, "Bai Mo's feelings are intact, and he also has dreams he wants to achieve, but he just hasn't had the opportunity before. Now, this woman can not only help us, but also help him."

Great Saber frowned, and facing Bai Wunan's riddle, said bluntly, "Stop with the riddles, Bai Wunan, just tell me."

Bai Wunan clapped his hands and said, "That kid has never been in a relationship or loved anyone, but that doesn't mean he can't love. Can't you old folks try to persuade him? People always need to experience things they haven't encountered before, and feelings can be cultivated."

Bai Mo cares deeply about human suffering; is there anyone better to help? We want a world where we can bring back the people we care about, and she could be of immense help in that regard.

Besides, no matter what, this woman loves him wholeheartedly. So I think, both personally and professionally, it would be a pity to give her up."

After saying that, Bai Wunan added, "Or do you think there are other people who are more suitable right now? In any case, just say so, and I will immediately withdraw my suggestion."

Everyone fell silent, and after exchanging glances...

Within the dark Martial God Space--

Bai Mo sat in place, meditating and circulating the Ryougi Lataib while adjusting his breathing. His heartbeat was strong and powerful, bringing him great strength and energy. After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes.

Bai Cinan and An Hei have returned. An Hei still has a gloomy face, while Bai Cinan changes the moment he sees Bai Mo...

"Pfft, hahaha." He covered his face and laughed again, drawing the attention of Bai Mo and Hei An. He waved his hand and said, "I have a condition that makes me want to laugh whenever I see you and my sworn brother together. It's okay, just pretend I don't exist."

Hahaha..."

The Cinan walked to the side, while Darkness had a very strange expression, like a powerful figure in the Cinan Empire who was determined to cultivate the Cinan Way, carrying an eerie sense of resolve.

Before Bai Mo could say anything, Hei An grabbed Bai Mo's shoulder, their eyes met, and he said firmly:

"Kid, I have something to tell you. It's about that girl named Shiki whom you gave your heart to before."

Bai Mo was greatly alarmed and said, "Shi? She didn't reshape the world, could she have fallen back into sleep?"

The darkness deepened, and Bai Cinan, standing beside him, was twitching uncontrollably, seemingly trying to suppress a laugh.

Darkness took a deep breath and said, "No, what I want to tell you is that you actually love that girl named Shi." Darkness's eyes were unwavering as he stared intently at Bai Mo, Bai Mo was filled with confusion upon hearing these cryptic words.

The darkness continued, "You may not believe it, but think carefully now about the time you spent with her, those ordinary yet precious days."

However, Bai Mo wondered to himself: Is this the Northern Emperor Darkness? What is he stirring up now?

Sensing Bai Mo's thoughts, Darkness shook Bai Mo violently, as if trying to shake something that didn't exist out of the container. He roared, "Concentrate! Think carefully, feel it properly. You do have feelings for her in your heart, but you've muddied them out."

Go and feel it, go and remember it!

The second Cinan was already slumped over the stone table, banging his head on the surface, seemingly laughing so hard he was about to cramp up.

Although Bai Mo couldn't understand what the darkness was trying to express, it was already like this, and it seemed that he wasn't going to let go unless he did as he was told. Bai Mo closed his eyes and recalled every detail of He Shi.

Their first encounter at the hospital; their walk in the rain; her coming to say goodbye when he thought he was going to die; and finally...

There seemed to be nothing strange about it; it appeared to be just an ordinary friendship. However, at that very moment, darkness had found a way, and through its understanding and feelings of love, it found the path to success.

You don't expect me to do something like multiplying by two, do you? I can't do that. Bai Mo thought to himself, but Hei An had already thought of that, and slowly said:

"Very good, I can sense you're reminiscing. You've remembered your experiences with her. Perhaps you think it was ordinary, but I'll make you realize your love right away. Now, go and remember the other women. Think of Fran, think of her wanton ways. And Athena, think of how she schemed against you!"

Upon hearing Hei An's words, unpleasant memories flooded back to Bai Mo. Hei An then calmly said:

"Next, compare, use your feelings about Shiki Ryougi to subtract! Subtract the feelings those women evoked in you!"

Subtraction?! Bai Mo was stunned. How could feelings be judged in this way? He thought that Love Multiplied by Two was the limit of darkness, but he never expected there to be an even deeper level of understanding!

And this is the way darkness addresses its problems: reducing its burden!

Although the process was utterly absurd, when Bai Mo recalled the women who had gotten him into trouble and whose behavior disgusted him, this comparison made Shi seem much more pleasing to the eye...

Seemingly sensing Bai Mo's thoughts, Hei An released his grip and said, "Now, you can barely sense it, right? Don't speak, don't deny it, just use the days ahead to truly experience it."

"But why do I feel like you're trying to frame me?"

Darkness gritted its teeth in frustration, "Would I lie to a junior like you? And do you think you understand love better than me? I say it exists, so it exists!"

The Cinan, standing to the side, didn't utter a sound, but his expression was as if he had witnessed the funniest comedy in the world, and he let out a silent laugh.

Once the farce was finally over, he took Bai Mo away from the area where darkness was located. The area where darkness was located was a maple forest, where fiery red maple leaves filled the air with a strong sense of autumn and sorrow.

On the way, the Cinan asked, "Boy, I originally didn't want to teach you martial arts, do you know why?"

Bai Mo nodded and said, "Because the Heavenly Martial Killing Way is truly a harmful technique, you know this better than anyone else. But now you seem to have changed your mind. Did something happen when you left?"

"Hey, clever brat, but to slander the Heavenly Martial Killing Way taught to me by my master right in front of me, aren't you afraid of angering me?"

Bai Mo shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, because it's the truth, and if I were to acknowledge your path of Heavenly Martial Killing Way, it would be tantamount to acknowledging the tragedies you've endured. I will never acknowledge suffering, no matter how much power it brings, never."

The Cinan listened to Bai Mo's words and said nothing more.

Soon, the maple forest disappeared, revealing a vast grassland stretching as far as the eye could see. In the distance stood a Chinese-style house, giving Bai Mo a sense of familiarity. The Cinan patted Bai Mo on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I have other things to do. You should go find my master."

After a pause, as if he wanted to say something more, the Cinan spoke up, "Show some respect. My master isn't as easy to talk to as I am."

You've got it backwards.

The Cinan delivered a swift chop to Bai Mo's head, grumbling, "Damn brat, you have absolutely no emotional intelligence."

Afterwards, the man also left and returned to Maple Forest. The Cinan then approached Darkness, who was drinking tea, and laughed, "Brother, I told you only you could accomplish this."

Darkness curled his lip and said, "Save it. If it weren't for Oga's interference, this would have fallen on Sea Tiger. Sigh, never mind."

"Then, my sworn brother, are you still planning to teach him martial arts?"

"Of course! They've put so much effort into this, what if he dies? Cinan, why are you suddenly so concerned about that kid?" Darkness immediately sensed something was off about Cinan Cinan's mood. He crossed his legs and replied:

"Because that kid gave me quite a show, it's just a pity that I don't have an empire now, so I can't even give him fame and fortune, which makes me, Bai Cinan, seem like a stingy guy."

Darkness scoffed, "Go to hell, Cinan. I just don't like that kid. He gives me the feeling of a Shounan. I can't stand the sight of him."

The Cinan remained silent, only smiling. Just as he picked up his teacup, a beam of light suddenly appeared – a message sent by Bai Wunan.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid you'll have to come back again; we have guests."

Outside the space, the furtive Alaya Consciousness seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After a while, a flash of light appeared, and the Alaya Consciousness disappeared from the spot.
