Chapter 402 Amu, is that you?
Su Chenyin raised the Soul Nurturing Bead high until it was in front of Zi Tan'er, and slowly said, "This is a Soul Nurturing Bead, it can warm and nourish the soul."
"When the high priest Shi Mu sacrificed his soul, he actually had a soul that had not yet dissipated and was saved by Black Devour. It is now being nurtured in this soul-nourishing bead."
When Zi Tan'er heard these words, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.
She widened her eyes and looked at Su Chenyin in disbelief, then quickly turned her gaze to the soul-nourishing bead in Su Chenyin's hand.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and she could hardly believe what she heard.
After a long time, she finally came to her senses.
She took a deep breath and slowly moved closer to the soul-nourishing bead, trying to feel the breath within it.
As the distance got closer, her heartbeat became more intense and her breathing became rapid.
When she finally got close to the soul-nourishing bead, a familiar breath came to her face. It was the breath of Amu.
This made her eyes instantly moist, tears filled her eyes and her vision became blurry.
"Is this... Amu's soul? Amu... is he really still here?" Zitan'er asked while choking with sobs.
Her voice was trembling so much that it was almost inaudible, and her heart was filled with a mixture of disbelief and surprise.
Su Chenyin nodded solemnly to Zi Tan'er and curled the corners of his lips: "Yes, there is indeed a soul of the high priest Shi Mu in it."
"This is Black Devourer placing his soul into the Soul Nurturing Orb. Although he is only a remnant soul now and is very weak, as long as he is carefully nurtured, I believe that one day he will be able to recover as before."
After a short pause, Su Chenyin added: "Also, the white light that came out of the Soul Nurturing Pearl just now was transmitted to me by him."
"That ball of white light contains some of his memories and cultivation experiences, as well as his concern and reluctance to leave you. He asked me to tell you that he is fine, and he hopes you don't worry or feel sad."
Hearing Su Chenyin's words, Zi Tan'er could no longer control her tears and they overflowed from her eyes.
But this time, she cried with a smile, and those crystal tears contained endless joy and emotion.
Her face, filled with tears of joy, broke into an incredibly bright smile, and she looked more beautiful than ever.
The pain and sorrow in her heart were gradually overwhelmed by joy.
"Amu, you are really still here..."
Zi Tan'er whispered softly, tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the soul-nourishing bead in Su Chenyin's hand, causing ripples on the surface of the bead.
At this moment, Shi Mu's soul in the soul-nourishing bead seemed to feel Zi Tan'er's call, and his figure gradually became clearer.
Through the soul-nourishing bead, he saw Zi Tan'er with tears streaming down her face, her eyes revealing deep longing and endless guilt.
"Tan'er..." Shi Mu's voice was weak and hoarse, but it passed through the barrier of the soul-nourishing bead and reached Zi Tan'er's ears clearly.
Zi Tan'er was shocked all over.
She stared at the soul-nourishing bead with wide eyes in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, and she was almost unable to speak.
"Amu, is that you? Is it really you?" Zitan'er asked with a trembling voice.
She wanted to reach out and touch the soul-nourishing bead, but found that she had no arms.
She could only stare at the soul-nourishing bead tightly, as if she was afraid that this was a dream and would shatter at the slightest touch.
Inside the soul-nourishing bead, Shi Mu’s soul nodded slightly. Although his figure was still blurry, his eyes revealed deep longing and guilt.
He tried to gather his soul power to make his voice clearer, and spoke word by word:
"Tan Er, it's me. I'm here, always here. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Hearing this familiar voice, Zi Tan'er finally couldn't hold back her tears and her tears once again fell on the soul-nourishing bead.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore. Amu, as long as you are still here, I will feel relieved." Zitan'er replied with a tearful smile.
Seeing Zi Tan'er's smile with tears on her face, Shi Mu felt distressed.
He didn't care about his own weakness and concentrated his soul power again to make his voice clearer to comfort Zi Tan'er.
"Tan Er, don't cry. I'm sorry for making you worry. Don't cry. I'll feel bad."
Although Shi Mu's voice was weak, it was full of sincere emotions.
"Yeah, yeah, don't cry, I won't cry." Zitan'er nodded desperately, but her tears still couldn't stop flowing.
"I'm sorry... Tan'er, I made you worry..." Shi Mu's weak and guilty voice came from the soul-nourishing bead again.
Zi Tan Er tried to calm herself down, crying: "Amu, I'm fine, I'm just too happy that you're still here, and you're not dead."
"Tan'er, I..." Shi Mu hadn't finished his sentence when he passed out due to excessive use of his soul power.
Zitaner called out anxiously: "Amu, Amu..."
Su Chenyin hurriedly comforted her: "Miss Tan'er, don't worry, he just fell into a coma because of excessive consumption of soul power."
"Don't worry, he will be fine. Just continue to nourish his soul in the Soul Nurturing Pearl, and he will recover slowly."
After hearing Su Chenyin's words, Zitan'er calmed down a little.
She understood that at this moment, what she needed was strength and not to let Amu worry about her.
She gradually stopped crying, took a deep breath, and tried to make her smile look brighter.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she begged Su Chenyin, "Miss Su, can you let me in to accompany A-Mu? I want to enter the Soul Nurturing Pearl to accompany him, please."
Su Chenyin was slightly startled, then asked: "This... Miss Tan'er, are you sure? You don't want to go to reincarnation?"
"I'm sure." Zi Tan'er nodded without hesitation, her eyes full of determination.
"Okay..." Su Chenyin looked at Zitan'er's resolute eyes. She understood her other party's determination and finally nodded and agreed.
"Hei Shi, the soul-nourishing bead is yours, please send Miss Tan'er in." Su Chenyin looked at Hei Shi and ordered.
Hei Shi replied: "Master, the Soul Nurturing Orb has not been contracted by anyone yet. It is ownerless. You can also send her in."
Su Chenyin nodded slightly, without any hesitation, a light flashed in his hand, and he directly sent Zi Tan'er into the soul-nourishing bead, allowing her to accompany Shi Mu.
After sending Zi Tan'er into the soul-nourishing bead, Su Chenyin slowly turned around and looked at Jiu Lan'er who was standing next to Yan Ling.
