My husband, Shen Changyi, was a very boring man, and I detested him.
He couldn't cheer anyone up, couldn't earn money to support the family, and couldn't even have children. He sp...
Chapter 63 Good Weather (Update 3) "You have a puppy?"...
(Sixty-three)
Shen Changyi had never killed anyone before he came of age. At most, he had only killed chickens and ducks. He practiced cultivation to get rid of the strange disease so that he would no longer be a waste.
But today, he suddenly understood the significance of practicing sword.
Sword fighting is not practiced to strengthen the body, nor is it practiced to compete for superiority.
His sword was used to avenge Shanglu.
He never doubted what Shang Lu said. Everything Shang Lu did had her reasons. Even if she lied, she had her reasons.
What's more, he felt Shang Lu's pain very vividly.
He must kill that man.
The two returned home and sat back in front of the chessboard to play chess with expressionless faces.
"What's going on? Just now one person was unhappy, and now suddenly two people are unhappy."
"For some reason, I feel like they seem to be getting along quite well now. It seems like their relationship has improved."
"Hmph, it's an illusion."
The three of them sighed and looked at Li Hanye, "Go and boil your medicine!"
Under the shade of the tree, Li Shanglu had made up her mind and her mood had calmed down a lot. She no longer felt confused, helpless and isolated.
This is what husband and wife are supposed to do, they share the problems with each other, you take some of my responsibility and I take some of yours.
She did not reject this feeling, the feeling she faced together with Shen Changyi.
"Shang Lu, you just said that this is an illusion created by a demon cultivator."
Chen Changyi placed the white chess piece on the board and whispered, "Illusion is a type of formation. Since it's a formation, it has gates of life and death. The ones you took previously must have all been gates of death."
Li Shanglu didn't understand any of this. The last time she and Chen Changyi entered an extremely simple, elementary illusion, they came out of it casually.
"Killing Qianxu means we've found a way out, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Changyi shook his head, "If it is really as you said, then the devil is cunning and suspicious, and he would never let you guess the way out so easily."
This makes sense, but it's useless.
Li Shanglu glanced at him and said calmly, "Then tell me, where is the way out?"
Shen Changyi pondered for a moment and said softly, "The door of life must be something that will never happen."
There are too many things that will never happen. That's just bullshit.
She was resting her chin on her hand as someone approached her. She looked up and saw Jiang Fu holding a plate of pastries and placing it on the stool next to her.
"I haven't eaten for a day, so I'll give you something to eat."
Li Shanglu signaled Shen Changyi with his eyes to stop talking nonsense, and then picked up the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
The pastries my mother makes are still as delicious as ever, but it’s a pity that they can only be eaten in the fantasy world.
Shen Changyi looked at her quietly until Jiang Fu left.
"Are we the only two left in the world outside the illusion?"
Li Shanglu paused slightly, unable to taste the flavor, and said, "Hmm."
Hearing her words, Shen Changyi hesitated and looked at her for a long time, then slowly said, "You've worked hard."
Coming to the fantasy world alone, watching the past that can no longer be undone replay before my eyes again and again.
Even he would feel extremely painful in such a sinister and vicious illusion.
But Shanglu persisted until now and did not collapse in the end. He is really amazing.
Li Shanglu swallowed the cake, put down the chess piece, and said nonchalantly, "Actually, we're not the only two left."
"Um?"
She looked away and whispered, "There are also small persimmons and small oranges."
Shen Changyi was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "You have a puppy?"
“…”
Li Shanglu glared at him fiercely and stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth. She decided not to tell this idiot.
But Shen Changyi seemed very interested in this. He asked softly, "When did you raise them? Have they been with you all this time? Are there any of mine among them?"
Hearing the last sentence, Li Shanglu almost choked to death and almost did it again.
She gritted her teeth, her ears reddening, "Yes, they're all yours!"
Shen Changyi became happy, and he asked expectantly, "What about me?"
Li Shanglu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Chen Changyi paused, realizing he had let something slip, and his face flushed. He lowered his eyelashes and explained in a low voice, "Then...will I always be with you?"
After he finished speaking, Li Shanglu turned his face away somewhat unnaturally, and both of them felt inexplicably awkward.
"I said the wrong thing." Shen Changyi was the first to break the silence and said softly, "Shang Lu, I'm sorry."
He is always the one to apologize first, even when he is not wrong.
Li Shanglu frowned, he just couldn't stand this point of his.
It's so annoying that you have to make people explain things clearly. Can't you think about it yourself?
"I'm marrying you."
The voice was so low as a mosquito's, and could not be heard clearly.
Even though Shen Changyi was so close and even had some cultivation experience, he couldn't hear a single word.
He asked cautiously, "What did you say?"
Li Shanglu gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot, have you forgotten that you and I are engaged? If you're not by my side, am I going to marry a dog?"
Shen Changyi was stunned for a moment.
He's not stupid, he just doesn't dare to even think about it.
His heartbeat quickened, and he felt as if he was floating, unable to touch the ground. His mind went blank, and all he could see was the red tip of Li Shanglu's ear.
"Chang Yi, Shang Lu, come over for dinner."
"Long Yi?"
"Long Yi!"
"Why is this child so stupid?"
Li Shanglu walked a long way away before she realized that the idiot was still holding the chess piece in a daze. She turned back and kicked him.
Shen Changyi barely came back to his senses and followed her to eat, as if his entire soul was being led away by her.
At the dinner table, Li Shanglu stared at his absent-minded and wooden appearance and began to doubt whether this man could defeat Qianxu.
She shouldn't have said everything. She knew he was a loser, but she didn't expect him to be so useless.
After dinner, the rash on Li Shanglu's body stopped itching. The medicine prescribed by the doctor was very effective. She took the excuse of taking a walk with Shen Changyi to help digest the food and took him out of the house.
The two couples looked at their departing figures, and everyone except Li Hanye was very happy.
Sitting on the long street and watching the night fall, Li Shanglu still felt a little uncomfortable.
She actually began to fear the night and the land where she grew up.
"Phytolacca."
A voice came from the side. Li Shanglu turned around and saw Shen Changyi holding a sword and staring at her solemnly.
"I figured it out."
Li Shanglu's heart sank slightly, thinking that he had figured out what the life gate was. "Speak."
Shen Changyi looked at her very seriously and said firmly, "Little Persimmon and Little Orange are not dogs."
“…”
Li Shanglu was so angry that he laughed, and the subtle discomfort and uneasiness in his heart disappeared inexplicably.
It seemed like this was just an ordinary night, and she was once again being pestered by the idiot Shen Changyi to go out and play on the street.
She looked at Shen Changyi's serious expression and whispered, "Then what do you say it is?"
"It's you and me..." Shen Changyi paused, his face flushed, but he still said shyly, "child."
Li Shanglu sneered, moved closer to him, and said calmly, "I'm telling you, Shen Changyi, if that demon cultivator comes soon and you make even the slightest mistake, I'll help him chop you to death first."
"Yeah." Shen Changyi quickly hugged the sword in his arms and didn't dare to say anything else.
The two of them were so close together that the cold night wind couldn't blow through the space between them.
A warm and peaceful atmosphere surrounded her all the time, and Li Shanglu was no longer afraid.
Until a gust of cold wind blew, and a figure in black clothes appeared out of nowhere on the quiet street.
Shen Changyi looked sullen and stood up slowly.
Li Shanglu also stood up and walked to a corner where she would not be affected. There was a formation drawn by Shen Changyi in advance that could protect her from harm.
The two of them didn't say a word, but they knew what each other was going to do.
"You are...Zhu Xuan?"
Qian Xu stood in the middle of the street, neither too far nor too close, looking at Shen Changyi.
Hearing this, Shen Changyi confirmed his identity, calmly drew his sword, and killed him without a moment's hesitation.
The sword shadows swirled like flowing fire in the devilish fog, and the two men moved so fast that it was impossible to tell whose blood was splattering.
Li Shanglu clenched her fingers, determined to see clearly even if it was not clear. She wanted to see Qian Xu die without missing a single thing.
Half an hour, one hour, two hours...
The sky gradually brightened, the dark clouds dispersed, and she could finally see clearly because Qianxu's movements slowed down.
Seeing the magic mist rising from his palm and a trace of sinister resentment on his face, Li Shanglu's eyes suddenly opened and shouted, "Don't let him escape! As long as he has a trace of soul left, he can escape!"
After she finished speaking, Qian Xu finally noticed Li Shanglu in the corner. He stared at her with hatred, his gums bleeding, but he couldn't say anything.
Shen Changyi's sword moves fell like a rainstorm with nowhere to hide, and every inch of his bones was crushed by the sword energy, just like how he had killed Li Hanye and Jiang Fu.
Qian Xu's body was broken and he collapsed to the ground, looking at Shen Changyi who was walking towards him step by step.
He finally felt fear and used his only arm to drag his body and crawl on the ground. The next moment, the tip of the sword pierced his heart and he was completely unable to move.
He tried to make a hand gesture, but the sword cut his arm off along with the flesh and bones.
Shen Changyi was not in a hurry to kill him. Realizing this, Qian Xu felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. He didn't know that the fear was called despair.
As far as Chen Changyi was concerned, Qianxu had not experienced even one ten-thousandth of the pain Shang Lu felt and everything his parents had endured.
The demon cultivator's body recovered extremely quickly. Almost every time Qianxu had just recovered, Shen Changyi's sword fell.
Each move carried the purest and most righteous spiritual energy, burning his soul like a flame.
Qian Xu went from constantly cursing viciously to desperately begging for mercy.
No matter what he said, Shen Changyi remained silent, like Yama who was in charge of the reincarnation hell, tirelessly cutting off his bones and flesh, and then calmly waiting for his flesh and blood to grow back.
Finally, the sun rose and the sky became bright.
Shen Changyi was completely exhausted.
There was only a pool of blood on the long street, nothing else.
He barely supported his body with his sword, but before he could stand still, someone hugged him tightly from behind and threw him to the ground.
Li Shanglu held his face and kissed his lips without hesitation.
Hot tears soaked the dried blood on his face. Shen Changyi's breathing was rapid, and before he could calm down, he stretched out his hand and placed it on Li Shanglu's shoulder.
"dirty."
"Shut up and don't say such depressing words."
Li Shanglu couldn't stop crying, so she hugged him and kissed his forehead again, whispering tremblingly, "Husband, you did very well."
The dim morning light shone on the long street. Li Shanglu helped him sit down at the familiar street corner, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his face bit by bit.
Shen Changyi stared at her without moving an inch, unwilling to look away.
I’m still crying, but this time I’m crying with joy. It’s great.
He closed his eyes, the feeling on his lips lingering for a long time.
He seemed to know what was impossible.
The door behind him was suddenly pushed open. Li Hanye stretched, stepped out of the threshold, and almost stepped on Shen Changyi.
"Chang Yi! Shang Lu?"
"Why are you here? What happened to you? There's so much blood!"
Li Hanye was so frightened that he almost fainted, and only came to his senses after Li Shanglu explained that he had killed a mad dog.
"What kind of mad dog has so much blood?" Li Hanye was still in shock. He grabbed them and looked them up and down carefully. "You two weren't bitten, were you? Changyi, stand up quickly so I can see if you were bitten on your butt."
Li Shanglu looked at his worried expression, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Dad, it's such a nice day today."
Li Hanye was stunned for a moment, then looked up. The sun was indeed shining brightly. "Isn't it good weather every day?"
Li Shanglu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
"Yes, it will be nice weather every day from now on."
At least in one world, she and Shen Changyi successfully changed everything.
She will no longer live in the past and will look forward.
Dad, Mom, you think so too, right?
