Chapter 1612 — Harder Than Scaling the Heavens
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
Madam Yuanmu was in excellent spirits and could not help but laugh. "Hard? If you do not learn it, then it is not hard! My dear is such a clever man—surely a mere red rope's knot cannot be the death of you?"
"It can!" Shen Mu said stiffly.
"I have already dealt with my sister. No one can stand in the way of our elopement now!"
Madam Yuanmu took his arm, elated, and said, "That so-called Second Young Master is no obstacle either! Now let my little sweetheart follow me down to kill our way out, and we can flee far away and live our little life together, just the two of us!"
She giggled, "After I get out this time, I shall unify the Ten Heavenly Venerates and unify the world, and my little sweetheart shall be a noble consort in my rear palace. But you cannot stay as old as you are now..."
Shen Mu's appearance gradually returned to youth. He cast one reluctant glance at the red rope's knot.
"Stop looking. You will never learn it anyway!" Madam Yuanmu tugged at him eagerly, about to head downward.
Shen Mu suddenly froze. His gaze remained fixed deathly upon the red rope's knot, and he murmured, "This sixth rope, the sixth rope... I understand!"
He gave a cheer, broke free of Yuanmu's hand, and with great laughter ran swiftly along the red rope, capering and dancing, singing and dancing, crying out, "I finally understand! So that is it, so that is it—the mystery lies entirely in the sixth red rope! I am invincible!"
Madam Yuanmu watched his mad demeanor and could not help but worry: "I have only just recovered, and he has fallen ill again. But without his help, I may not be able to escape from the Second Young Master's grasp..."
"I am invincible!"
Shen Mu stood with hands on his hips, his bearing soaring: "I have already learned one percent of the red rope's knot! I can walk sideways through the world!"
