Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 184 - The Only Promise

The two of them walked side by side to the lakeside. Mo Tianji took out a small wine flask from his pocket and said lightly, “Heaven's Secret Wine is my homemade brew. It can't compare to the fine wines and delicacies that Brother Chu often enjoys, but it is the truest expression of my heart as Mo Tianji.”

“Thank you.” Chu Yang rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself that in his past life, he drank Mo Tianji's heaven's secret wine straight from a barrel, and now he only produces such a small amount, acting as if he was in pain over it.

“My little sister is my precious gem!” Mo Tianji slowly sat down, gazing at the tranquil lake, and continued, “When Xiao Wu was born, our mother was unwell and bedridden; the Mo Family was going through a crucial period of development, facing both internal and external troubles. Father was overwhelmed, and my elder brother was already able to help at that time…”

“So, I had to coax her every day, play with her, and tell her stories. Brother Chu, do you know? My little sister… the first word she ever learned to say, the first person she ever called, was ‘Second Brother’!” A warm smile appeared on Mo Tianji’s face, filled with satisfaction and pride. “Every time I hear Xiao Wu joyfully calling me ‘Second Brother’ with her sweet and soft voice, I feel proud and happy…”

“Our mother was ill for three years, and during that time, Xiao Wu was almost never apart from me.”

“Xiao Wu is my treasure…”

“When she was three years old, she showed a talent for martial arts. The family identified that she possessed the rare Three Yin Meridians, marking her as a prodigy and a genius!” Mo Tianji reminisced with a faint smile, shaking his head lightly. “That year, I was thirteen, and it was the first time I ever drank wine. I got so happy that I drunkenly passed out… and was severely punished by my father.”

“The fact that she has the Three Yin Meridians proves that Xiao Wu’s life will not be ordinary. Moreover, even when it comes to her marriage in the future, the family will try their best to respect her wishes; that way, she can have a satisfactory home of her own!”

Mo Tianji smiled and said, “You know, in families like ours, for a woman to find a happy home willingly is incredibly difficult! And for Xiao Wu, it is clear that she won’t be troubled by love; for a girl, this is the greatest happiness!”

“I sincerely hope my sister can attain the happiness of her dreams and become the happiest bride in the Nine Heavens Continent! I even plan that on the day my sister gets married, I, Mo Tianji, will use all my power to send invitations throughout the entire Nine Heavens!”

“I want everyone in Nine Heavens to attend my sister’s wedding! Everyone must bless my sister! All the happiness and joy in the world should belong to my sister! All should belong to Xiao Wu!”

Mo Tianji's voice was low but seemed to shout from the depths of his soul. He spoke of his lifelong dream, yet it was for his sister; expressing it at this moment felt so powerless…

Chu Yang was moved!

Mo Tianji’s deep affection for Mo Qingwu, although expected, still surpassed anything he could have imagined! The bond between this brother and sister was beyond anyone's comprehension.

No wonder in his previous life, despite being so close to him, Mo Tianji would still place him in a deadly situation! Because, in the heart of this master strategist, even the whole world could not compare to the importance of his little sister!

No wonder Mo Tianji mobilized three king level experts against him back then; because at that time, Mo Tianji’s strength could only bring forth such high-level powers…

As for those people before… perhaps it was Mo Tianji who deliberately spread the news to bring them in for his own demise? Could this be considered the last act of brotherly loyalty? After all, to deal with Chu Yang, one king level expert would have sufficed. Why must so many die first?
