"Shanglu... wake up..."

Li Shanglu woke up from her drowsiness. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Jiang Fu's tear-stained face.

Her throat felt dry, but she smiled and said, "Mom, you survived."

But the next moment, Jiang Fu covered her lips and said in a trembling voice, "Hide in the closet. No matter what happens, don't make any noise. Remember?"

Li Shanglu looked at her in astonishment.

Why?

Didn't she ask everyone to hide at home?

Didn't everyone survive?

Jiang Fu pulled her out of bed and pushed her into the closet.

Li Shanglu felt exhausted all over and put his hands on the door panel to try to get out, but he heard a slight creaking sound.

The door opened and slow footsteps came into the room.

"Now, it's your turn."

Through the crack in the door, Li Shanglu's pupils shrank rapidly.

The masked demon cultivator slowly grabbed Jiang Fu's throat and lifted her off the ground. He smiled playfully, "Where is that cultivator who knows how to practice?"

He went to Shen's house, but there was no one there.

But all the signs in the house showed that the family left in a hurry, or perhaps they knew he would come and ran away.

Jiang Fu stared at him intently, her eyes filled with hatred. "I told you... I don't even know anyone called Zhou Xuan."

don't want.

don't want!

Li Shanglu's face turned pale, as the tragic death of his parents was about to replay before his eyes.

"Hey," Qian Xu helplessly threw Jiang Fu to the ground and leaned over. "That's what they said too. Didn't you see how I killed them? As long as you tell me, I'll spare your life. How about it?"

"I have no idea!" Jiang Fu's hair was scattered, and behind her was the closet where Li Shanglu was hiding. She laughed bitterly, "Even if you kill me, it will be the same. If I really knew who Zhou Xuan was, how could I watch my husband being killed by you?"

Qian Xu stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Perhaps it's because your husband isn't important to you. If someone else kills him, maybe you'll tell me."

Hearing this, Jiang Fu's expression suddenly changed, "What did you say?"

Qianxu looked past her and towards the wardrobe.

"Your daughter's life should be enough to pry open your mouth, right?"

Li Shanglu pushed open the wardrobe, used all his strength to support himself, and stood in front of Jiang Fu.

"The person you're looking for will be back before dawn." She panted, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "Zhu Xuanxianjun, am I right?"

Qianxu paused for a moment, his eyes scanning her, "Go on."

"He's going to the Immortal Mountain to visit Lord Duheng. It'll take him exactly one day to go back and forth, and he'll be back before dawn." Li Shanglu unnoticedly placed his hand on Jiang Fu's sleeve and said in a deep voice, "You can't defeat him. Although his cultivation level isn't as high as yours for now, he can still kill you with just his sword moves, leaving only a remnant of your soul."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Qianxu's face disappeared, "And?"

"I am engaged to Zhu Xuan, and he loves me very much."

"Shang Lu!" Jiang Fu looked at Li Shang Lu in disbelief and hugged her in her arms, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't even know anyone named Zhou Xuan..."

Li Shanglu broke free from Jiang Fu's embrace and stared at Qian Xu. "You just want to get rid of him, right? I can help you force him to surrender, but you have to let my mother go."

Jiang Fu had never felt that Li Shanglu in front of her was so unfamiliar, as if he had grown up overnight. But as a mother, how could she let her daughter put herself in danger for herself?

"Shang Lu is still young and doesn't understand anything," Jiang Fu knelt down and pleaded, "She's sick and talking nonsense. She doesn't even know who Zhou Xuan is. If you let her go, I'm willing to go with you. You can kill me or cut me up if you want!"

Qian Xu looked at them indifferently, as if he was watching a boring show. "Why do I need your help? I'm just threatening Zhou Xuan with my own life - just one living person is enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, hot blood splashed on the side of Li Shanglu's face.

The woman's weak pleading voice instantly disappeared in the silent night. Li Shanglu turned his head stiffly and saw Jiang Fu lying lifeless in a pool of blood.

She suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Qian Xu looked down at her coldly.

Li Shanglu did not answer, but leaned down and gently hugged Jiang Fushang's still warm body.

The next moment, she instantly pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it into her neck.

Blood flowed into his clothes, his vision gradually blurred, and he fell into endless darkness.

Looking at Qianxu's sinister and furious expression, Li Shanglu raised the corners of his lips emotionlessly.

"I will definitely kill you."

There must be another way.

She didn't believe that she couldn't escape from this false illusion, and she didn't believe that she couldn't save her parents.

She doesn't believe it!

Li Shanglu opened her eyes again and saw the familiar bedroom in front of her. Li Hanye looked at her in shock.

"Shanglu, what's wrong with you?"

She breathed a sigh of relief, at least the bet was right.

As long as she dies, the illusion will return to the moment she entered the illusion.

Because Qian Xu once said that this illusion would trap her forever, and if she really died, Qian Xu would no longer be able to control Xiao Huang.

So she will not die, but will just keep repeating this day.

Li Shanglu was much calmer this time than last time.

Qian Xu came to find Chen Changyi. If he couldn't find Chen Changyi, he might kill everyone in Fangcao City.

If they want to survive, the whole family must escape from the city, but this can only save the Li family.

Her parents would listen to her and stay at home, or they could leave here and go somewhere else because of her pleading, but the Shen family would not.

Why would the Shen family move out of the city just because of her words?

What's more, tomorrow is Shen Changyi's coming-of-age day, and Shen Kangnian and Chen Shuo will definitely wait for him to come back.

In that case, she would go directly to see the demon cultivator, as long as she could delay it until Shen Changyi came back.

"Shang Lu, why don't you say anything?" Li Hanye looked at her anxiously, and made a gesture to go out. "Dad will go find a doctor right away, you go back to bed."

Li Shanglu didn't stop him this time. He just said, "Dad, I'm fine. I can go to the clinic and get some medicine myself."

Hearing this, Li Hanye looked at her doubtfully, "You said you were fine, but your face is as red as a monkey's butt."

Li Shanglu forced a smile and said calmly, "I'm really fine. You should stop worrying about it. You're already old, and worrying too much will make you even older. Be careful that my mother will think you're ugly and not want you anymore."

Li Hanye: "...your mother likes me very much!"

"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go get the medicine quickly, otherwise I won't be able to see anyone." Li Shanglu felt dizzy and tried his best to control his physical discomfort as he stepped out of the door.

Seeing that her tone was calm and nothing seemed to be wrong, Li Hanye felt a little relieved. "Don't be afraid. Your father also had a rash on his face when he was a child. As long as there is no fever, it's not a big deal. Are you sure you are not feeling uncomfortable? Do you want your father to accompany you?"

"I've already told you I'm fine. I'm already old, and I need my dad to accompany me to the doctor just for a rash. If anyone knows about this, they'll laugh at me." Li Shanglu whispered, "Also, no wonder I keep getting rashes. It turns out it's all your fault."

Li Hanye touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "Okay, go get the medicine quickly, and come back early. I'll help your mother with the account book."

"Yeah." Li Shanglu responded softly and left with his head lowered.

Don't fall down, don't faint.

She forced herself to come to the Shen family's door and knocked.

I was still a step too late. Chen Changyi had left. I must have wasted time explaining to my father just now.

That’s all!

Li Shanglu didn't have much hope for him, so he didn't explain to Shen Kangnian and turned to go to the clinic to ask the doctor for medicine.

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it home and boil it for three hours. Apply a layer of ointment every incense stick. After the rash subsides, just lie down in bed and take a nap. You'll be fine."

Li Shanglu didn't rush to take the prescription. He just asked calmly, "Is there any medicine that can relieve dizziness?"

The doctor paused and looked at her seriously, "Just taking that medicine won't work. You have to apply ointment externally, otherwise..."

"Just open it. I have to stay awake until tonight." Li Shanglu interrupted him without hesitation, took out the silver and placed it on the table. "No need to change."

The doctor couldn't persuade her and sighed, "Okay."

After taking the medicine at the clinic, Li Shanglu returned to his home and sat on the steps.

Once upon a time, Shen Changyi was sitting here waiting for her.

There was an old tree in front of the door, which cast a lush shade that completely covered her figure.

People coming and going all looked at her strangely. The rash was too eye-catching, but Li Shanglu didn't care.

She wanted to wait here, wait for Qianxu, and wait for Chen Changyi.

At noon, Li Hanye called her back to the house to eat.

She sat at the dinner table, looking at her parents' worried expressions, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm really fine. And I've already taken the medicine, don't worry about me."

Jiang Fu put a piece of meat into her bowl and said distressedly, "Why did you suddenly break out in a rash? It's all your father's fault. There must be something wrong with the meal he made for you this morning."

Hearing this, Li Hanye coughed twice and quickly changed the subject, "Your uncle and aunt are coming today. They will probably be here after dinner."

Li Shanglu was a little surprised. This incident clearly had not happened.

By the way, she was sick at that time, and the door of the Li family could not be opened even after knocking, so Shen Kangnian and the others did not come to disturb her. It turned out that they were supposed to be guests at the Li family today.

Well, it wouldn't be too late for her to wait at the door after seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Shen.

After dinner, Shen Kangnian and Chen Shuo arrived as expected, bringing with them various gifts.

"You're here so soon. Why bring a gift? That's really awkward." Li Hanye said this, but he took the gift without hesitation. "Please sit down. Shang Lu is here too."

Shen Kangnian sat down and looked at Li Shanglu, "Shanglu is sick, why doesn't he rest in bed?"

Li Hanye grumbled helplessly, "My girl is made of iron. She has to carry it all by herself."

After a few more pleasantries, Chen Shuo finally couldn't help but get to the point.

"Brother Han Ye, Fu'er, we came here this time because we have something to say..." Chen Shuo pursed his lips, but looked at Li Shanglu.

Li Hanye and Jiang Fu looked at each other and immediately understood what she was going to say. Their expressions changed slightly and they were both a little embarrassed.

"You know, I only have one daughter in my family," Jiang Fu whispered, "Besides, this is a marriage between the two of them, so let Shang Lu make the decision."

Hearing this, Chen Shuo opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to speak, so he simply nudged Shen Kangnian with his arm.

Shen Kangnian quickly cleared his throat and carefully chose his words, "Shang Lu, my uncle and aunt wanted to ask you if your engagement with Chang Yi... is still valid?"

Li Shanglu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what they meant.

"Don't worry. If you don't want to get married, we will never threaten you with the engagement. However, as long as this engagement is not cancelled, it won't be a big deal for Changyi, but it will be inconvenient for you to find another man."

Since the two families got married, no one from the Li family has come to propose marriage.

“If you want to get married…” Chen Shuo took over Shen Kangnian’s words, raised his eyes and looked at her, and said hopefully, “We can wait. Shang Lu can get married whenever he wants.”

As soon as the voice fell, Li Hanye coughed lightly, "Shang Lu, don't worry and speak boldly, my parents and uncles and aunts all support you."

His daughter seemed to have no interest in this matter at all, and Shang Lu brushed off the idea of ​​marriage several times by saying it was annoying.

Li Hanye knew that Shang Lu only regarded Shen Changyi as a playmate now. After all, they grew up together rolling in the mud. If there was true love between a man and a woman, Li Shanglu would never be so disgusted with Shen Changyi when he saw him.

She almost never gave Shen Changyi a good look, nor was she shy or nervous in front of Shen Changyi. She even never showed any difference in her treatment of Shen Changyi - even if he was just a playmate, she should treat him differently from how she treated other people, right?

Shen Kangnian and Chen Shuo waited anxiously, and as Li Shanglu remained silent, their hearts sank little by little.

"It's okay, Shang Lu, don't worry about it." Chen Shuo smiled with a look of disappointment, "No matter what you choose, we will still treat you as our own child. From now on, Chang Yi will be your brother..."

"I will marry."

Chen Shuo's voice suddenly stopped, and the whole room fell silent. Everyone looked at her in disbelief.

Li Shanglu raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but he smiled gently.

"Father, mother. Uncle, aunt."

"I am willing to marry Shen Changyi."

Qian Xu wanted her to resent Shen Changyi and tried to put all the blame on Shen Changyi.

impossible.

Her hatred was always clear and never unjust.

Shen Changyi was not wrong, it was God's will, the time, and Qianxu that were wrong!

Even if she was given another chance, she would still marry him.

The Shen Changyi who knelt before the corpses of his parents and vowed to bear this hatred. The Shen Changyi who practiced diligently day and night, running around to eliminate demons. The Shen Changyi who would silently wait for her to return no matter how many times he drove her away.

Li Shanglu wanted to marry him, to stay with him for the rest of her life, to bear the pain with him, and to tell him that no matter what happened, she would always be by his side.

Hate and love wax and wane, and when hate recedes like the tide, she realizes how deeply in love she is.

If they are really destined to be inseparable from each other.

She prayed that there was no solution to this disaster.
