MDZS Characters Watching the Future

101. New Hope and The Burial Mound

Three days later, Wei WuXian said goodbye to Wen Ning. Carrying Jiang Cheng on his back, he walked for a while and borrowed a small house from a forest guard.

"I still can't believe that Young Master Jiang lose his golden core." said MianMian.

"Wait, if Jiang-xiong lose his golden core then how could he wield Zidian?" asked Nie Huaisang.

"I remember that he still uses Zidian just fine in the future." he added.

"Yeah, why did I forgot about that?" asled Jiang Cheng.

"Probably, Wei Wuxian's forgetfulness was rubbed onto me." he added.

Wei Wuxian pouted at him.

"I am worried about you but here you are, blaming me for forgetting things." he said.

He closed the door and pulled out the needle in Jiang Cheng’s head. He opened his eyes only after a long time had passed.

He did wake up, but he didn’t move at all. He was so uninterested that he didn’t even turn around or ask ‘where is this’. He didn’t drink any water, he didn’t eat any food. It seemed that all he sought for was death.

"You shouldn't be like that, Jiang-xiong." said Nie Huaisang.

"Xichen-ge might entered seclusion if you killed yourself." he added.

"That won't happen." said Wei Wuxian.

"Of course it won't." said Jiang Cheng.

"Just let me rest then maybe after a few more days, I will come back to myself and accept the fact that I won't be able to cultivate even though I know that in the future I still can." he added.

"As long as no one will lie to me or hide something that I might regret later on." he whispered.

Wei WuXian, “Do you really want to die?”

Jiang Cheng, “I can’t seek revenge even when I’m alive. Why shouldn’t I die? Maybe I’ll be able to turn into a ferocious ghost.”

Wei WuXian, “You’ve been undergoing soul-calming ceremonies ever since you were young. You won’t be able to turn into a ferocious ghost even after you die.”

Jiang Cheng, “If I can’t seek revenge no matter if I’m dead or alive, then what’s the difference between the two?”

After he said this, he wouldn’t speak again no matter what.

"Don't think like that, Wanyin." said Lan Xichen.

"If you want revenge then I will give it to you." he added.

Jiang Cheng just hugged him tightly.

Wei WuXian sat by the bed. He looked at him for a while. Slapping his knees, he stood up and began to busy himself.

When evening came, he had finally finished making a meal. He placed everything onto the table, “Get up. It’s time for dinner.”

"Even if I'm sick, weak, and need to eat, I won't eat whatever you cooked, Wei Wuxian." said Jiang Cheng.

"Lets see how I can make you eat." said Wei Wuxian with a grin.

"I want to see Jiang-xiong's reaction." said Nie Huaisang.

Of course, Jiang Cheng ignored him. Wei WuXian sat in front of the table. He picked up his own chopsticks, “If you don’t replenish your strength, how can we go take back your golden core?”

Hearing the words ‘golden core’, Jiang Cheng finally blinked. Wei WuXian continued, “That’s right. Don’t doubt it. You didn’t hear wrong. What I said is to ‘take back your golden core’.”
