Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 131: You! Die!

"Little girl, did you tell XiaoXiao about this?" Ye Chen inquired, not caring about her shocked look.

Wang Yiyi had a lot of questions to ask about his sudden appearance but when she heard his words, she instantly forgot everything and became anxious.

"I didn't tell her, and I do not want to tell her about this! So you bad guy better keep your mouth shut, or I… I will fight to the death with you!" the little girl stated with gritted teeth.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen chuckled and flicked her head.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her," he replied without any hesitation.

Well, he could tell Jing Xiao about this but knowing her personality, Ye Chen understood she must have dug into the little girl's past and even might have tracked down the female cultivator who messed with the little girl.

It's just she won't kill the female cultivator and wait for Wang Yiyi to become strong before giving a few hints about the whereabouts. This will resolve a knot in the little girl's heart while also protecting her safety.

With such a plan already outlined by Jing Xiao, what was the use of telling her this? As for otherwise, unless Jing Xiao didn't care about the little girl, there won't be any ifs or otherwise.

"Really? You won't tell my master?" Wang Yiyi was doubtful at his words when she suddenly remembered something.

"You also can't tell this to anyone else, not even Sister Li Mei and Sister Lan Ming!" she added hastily.

"Yes, yes, I won't tell them," Ye Chen could only smile before flicking his sleeves.

Swoosh!

In that instant the illusion changed, and they both appeared in a peaceful courtyard.

"Little girl, do you know what a stupid person is?" Ye Chen inquired as he looked at the little girl with a strange look.

"Are you mocking me?!"

"Little girl, when did I say you were stupid? Although it is true, you are the one who admitted it before I could prove it."

"You! Die!"

"Hehe, that just tickles me."

"Humph! I will kill you!"

The little girl chased down Ye Chen with anger while he evaded her attacks skillfully.

"Little girl, jokes aside, why do you blame yourself? There is no guarantee that your mom wasn't poisoned by them before. Also, what if they fed her a more vicious and poisonous herb because you rejected them? Wouldn't that make things much worse?" Ye Chen stated.

"Humph! There are no ifs!" Wang Yiyi said with a snort and continued attacking.

Hearing her answer, Ye Chen's mouth twitched a little; nonetheless, he didn't give up.

"What if your mother doesn't want you to take revenge?" he asked with a serious look.

In that instant the little girl came to a stop and didn't know how to answer. Because she had never told her mother about revenge, fearing she might stop her. Even her grandfather didn't know about this, as she had kept it buried in her heart.

The only thing they know is that she wanted to become a strong cultivator so she could protect them. Her mother and grandfather were delighted at her thought; after all, who wouldn't want their child to become immortal?

As for revenge, both of them didn't think she would do such a thing because she was very well-behaved in front of them. Nonetheless, when Jing Xiao inquired about her past, they told her everything, knowing well the heart demon was the demise of every cultivator.

Although the little girl didn't know this, she could guess her mother and grandfather wouldn't wish for revenge.

"Your mother and grandfather just want you to cultivate happily and nothing else. Of course this didn't mean you should not take revenge; however, you should stop blaming yourself for what happened. Things won't change no matter how much you care. All you can do is walk forward to live happily with others or drown in sorrow along with your loved ones. The choice is in front of you," Ye Chen spoke and waved his sleeves.

In that instant the previous illusion where everyone badmouthed her appeared once again.

"Remember, you are not a helpless little girl anymore so don't let the past stop you; if you do, you will never achieve anything. Also, think what would happen if your mother knew you blamed yourself for the mistake of the past. Would she be happy or sad? The choice in front of you."

Ye Chen's word once again echoed in Wang Yiyi's heart. But did it solve her problem? Of course not! He was just here to guide her. The rest? The little girl should figure it out by herself.

"I…" Wang Yiyi clenched her fists as she remembered everything once again and how her mother ended up in a coma state because she fed her a poisonous medicine.

Maybe if she didn't do this, things would have been different. But how much?

"I was trying to escape from my mistakes," she spoke to herself as the fog built by guilt and pain became clear, revealing a little girl curled up and crying in a corner.

"Wuu! Why! Why did this happen? No, it never happened! Wuuu!"

As the little girl in the corner kept crying, Wang Yiyi's expression became filled with pain and self-blame. Why was the little girl trying to escape? It's because she loved her mother and couldn't forgive herself for what she did.

She couldn't change the past, but she could try to escape from it by putting the blame on her past self, just like what others did at that time. A pity that on the path of cultivation there was no escape from past mistakes. No matter what you do, you have to acknowledge it and prepare for the consequences.

But was that easy? Clearly not, especially for a little girl like her who blamed herself every day as she saw her mother getting weaker and weaker. However, would escaping from this change anything?

"Do not cry because I won't blame you ever again!" Wang Yiyi spoke to the little girl who was crying in the corner.

"Really? You won't blame me? Then what about Mother? She is getting weaker day by day. If this continues for a year or two more, you know what will happen! Tell me who will be responsible for this then!" the little girl asked with a broken look.

Hearing this, Wang Yiyi almost lost all her strength, as her mother might end up in a coma once again. There was a cure for this; however, Jing Xiao needed some time to find a few herbs. Nonetheless, just the thought that her mother might end up in a coma once again haunted her.

However, Wang Yiyi didn't break down and stood up straight, looking into the little girl's eyes, which were filled with self-blame.

"I will take responsibility no matter what happens, so you are free!" she stated.

But to her surprise, the little girl shook her head and wiped her tears.

"No, I am you so I will also take responsibility and help you with what you are doing," the little girl replied with a firm look.

Listening to this, Wang Yiyi was stunned; however, she felt a weight lift off from her heart as the little girl whom she cast aside and blamed for mistakes was now a part of her.

It was a strange feeling, as she should feel more burdened by doing this but nothing like that happened. The reason was she admitted her mistakes and let go of the past, which held her down. Of course, the main cause was related to her trying to fix the mistake and not let such a thing happen again.

If she doesn't do this, then she will certainly fail the further test.

Swoosh!

After overcoming the biggest regret of her life, the illusion shattered. However, the little girl didn't care about this and looked around her to find Ye Chen, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Well, how could he stay there for too long? Especially since he had to stop and focus most of his attention on controlling the part of his soul.

"Phew, made it in time," Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief as he got back before he could get expelled from the trial.

After this he gave a look at the little girl and others. After knowing no one was in trouble, he moved forward.

The trial of desire was made to show the seven desires they had so the next illusions were not the seductive ladies, which made him a bit disappointed; nevertheless, he continued ascending while guiding others if they were in trouble.

The trial of regret was very difficult for everyone, as they needed a lot of reasons to overcome their past. Sometimes even if they have reasons, they won't let it go.

This was a lot different than Ye Chen, who had overcome everything. Why was it easy for him? Because he didn't bother to justify his actions. Once he knew he was wrong, then yeah, he was wrong. As for the consequences? He didn't call himself a demon for no reason.
