Chapter 87 [Jiaozhu] A Jiang Never Loved Him
"If it wasn't you, why would you admit it!?"
Chen Lian shook his head. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't defend himself. He couldn't prove his innocence. Nuonuo saw him taking the mermaid pearl with her own eyes and thought that he was the one who killed A Yuan. He also admitted it himself.
But at that time, he just wanted to leave Ajahn, so he accepted it. He didn't expect to shoot himself in the foot here.
"I was..." Chen Lian looked at A Jiang's appearance and knew that it was useless for him to say anything. A Jiang's eyes now were completely different from the eyes in his memory. The eyes in his memory were very gentle, but now he was looking at an enemy.
It turns out that love can be pretended. He is really stupid. How can he believe in other people's sincerity?
This world is full of evil, and only by doing evil can one protect oneself. If he had not been soft-hearted and killed A Jiang, would he not be in so much pain now?
He regretted so much that he believed in A Jiang and gave his heart to him, but in the end he was plotted against.
Yes, he had been plotting against A Jiang since their first encounter. Maybe A Jiang had known for a long time that it was him who had taken the mermaid pearl and had been targeting him, setting up a trap just to make him jump foolishly.
"What is it?" A Jiang sneered, "Chen Lian, you are too foolish. Don't you know that in dealing with people, the most important thing is not to talk about your past? If I say so, you deserve it!"
Chen Lian's heart ached, and in the end he didn't know what to feel. His legs went limp and he sat on the ground like a very helpless person.
He was truly helpless. How could he not be sad to be humiliated by the person he held dear? But he certainly deserved it.
He clenched his fists, wanting to cast a spell to kill Ajiang, but at this moment he hadn't even formed his elixir yet, and he had no spiritual power at all, so he could only endure it silently.
He really wanted to die right now, so that he could start over again. If he met Ajahn again, he would just kill him and there wouldn't be so many problems.
"Seduce my brother! Seduce my senior brother!"
He could no longer hear what A Jiang was saying. His ears were filled with tinnitus and he could not hear anything others were saying. He was numb, both physically and mentally.
He didn't know what sin he had committed. He was switched with his brother since childhood and became a bastard. He lived a hard life and almost lost his virginity to Mo Linyu. Then to A Jiang. He finally had someone he liked, and finally someone chose him from beginning to end, but in the end it was fake. How could he be willing to accept this?
He was unwilling to accept this, he didn't want his path to end like this.
He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill A Jiang, he wanted to kill everyone, everyone in this world would have a miserable death, everyone wanted him dead, so he didn't want this world anymore!
"Well, did you see it clearly?"
The alien voice suddenly sounded, and then the scene changed. He returned to the vast ocean and to the reef. This time there was no light, and the sky was completely covered by clouds. There was no trace of a gap, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city, ready to destroy it.
"No one in this world cares about you. Your brother's feelings for you are fake, and so are Mo Linyu's. Even A Jiang, who claims to love you, wants to kill you? Are you willing to accept this?"
"I won't give up!"
He has never been reconciled. Why should he suffer all this for no reason? Is it wrong to be born with a good appearance?
He just wanted someone to accompany him, trust him and love him. He thought what he wanted was very simple, but God ignored even such a simple request.
He only wanted Ajiang to love him, nothing else mattered to him. Whether he was the overlord of the three realms or the representative of a famous and upright family, none of them mattered. For more than 30 years, he only wanted Ajiang.
"Why should the people I trust and love betray me? This is so unfair!"
"Isn't it unfair? There are many unfair things in this world. You can only fight for what you want. If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Chen Lian forced himself to stand up slowly with his weak body, looking at the devil's breath floating in the air, he opened his hands.
"I want to improve myself, become the overlord of the three realms, and kill all those who stand in my way!" Shen Lian's face was ferocious, "I will make those who betrayed me pay the price!" His voice echoed in the ocean, and the flame of revenge burned in his eyes.
The alien looked at Shen Lian's crazy appearance and was about to enter Shen Lian's body, but suddenly saw the golden light between Shen Lian's eyebrows. That was the heart-protecting meridian left by the spirit pearl in Shen Lian's body, which could prevent Shen Lian from being completely possessed by the devil. If he could not unlock this heart-protecting meridian, he would not be able to enter Shen Lian's body.
Originally, he thought that just having that dream was enough for Shen Lian, but he never expected that Lingzhu actually had another trick up his sleeve. In that case, let Shen Lian face the thing he fears most, and this protective heart barrier will naturally be broken.
Chen Lian was a little out of breath for a while because he spoke too vigorously. When he recovered, he changed his place.
He was imprisoned in a dark water dungeon, his hands and feet bound with iron chains made of black iron. He was kneeling with half of his body in water.
The water was so cold that he almost lost all feeling in his lower body.
He realized that this was the water prison of the Cang Qiong Sect, where he had once drowned a demon.
He tried to stand up, but his hands and feet were tightly bound by chains. Every struggle only made the chains tighter, causing more severe pain.
Suddenly a beam of light shone on him. He looked up and saw that it was Ajahn.
His first reaction was that Ajiang came to save him, but suddenly he remembered that he and Ajiang seemed to have broken up, and he felt a little lost.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Lian bit her lower lip tightly, and her nose became sore again when she looked at her former lover.
A Jiang stood at the door of the dungeon, his gaze piercing through the dust of light and falling on Shen Lian.
Because Ajaan was facing away from the light, in the dark, Shen Lian could not see what Ajaan's expression was.
Ajahn's silence made the atmosphere in the dungeon even more oppressive.
Chen Lian's heart was hanging in the air, her eyes were no longer able to hold the tears, which dripped down, making a slight "tick-tick" sound when they landed on the water surface, causing ripples.
A Jiang walked down the steps and walked towards Shen Lian step by step.
As Ajaan approached, Shen Lian's heartbeat grew faster and faster. He didn't know Ajaan's true intentions, but the fear and anxiety deep within him made his body tense. The water in the dungeon rippled slightly with Ajaan's footsteps, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
A Jiang finally walked in front of Shen Lian, squatted down, and looked him in the eye. Only then could he see A Jiang's face clearly. The eyes and eyebrows that once made his heart beat were now filled with complex emotions that were difficult to understand.
There seemed to be a trace of pain in A Jiang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference. He reached out and gently stroked Shen Lian's face. His gentle movements formed a sharp contrast with his expression.
"You should pay for the mistakes you made." A Jiang's voice was low and trembling, as if he was suppressing something.
"I made a mistake? What mistake did I make? I just took the mermaid pearl, I-"
Before Shen Lian could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened. He felt his throat being tightened, making it difficult to breathe. His hands instinctively grabbed A Jiang's wrists, trying to break free from the fatal restraint.
"ah--"
The water in the dungeon rippled violently because of Shen Lian's struggle, and the cold water splashed on their clothes. Black spots began to appear in front of Shen Lian's eyes, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
At this moment, Ajahn suddenly loosened his grip and pushed his head into the water.
Before Shen Lian recovered from her panic, she was suddenly pushed into the water and choked on water several times.
The moment he was pulled out of the water, he gasped for air, and every breath seemed to be dancing on the edge of a knife.
His body was all wet, and winter was approaching. He shivered when a cold wind blew. His eyes were swollen from lack of oxygen, and his tears mixed with the lake water, blurring his vision.
"Is it uncomfortable?" A Jiang said coldly, "There are things that are even more uncomfortable."
Shen Lian didn't understand what was going on. He just saw A Jiang's hand reaching underwater, and he felt his waist loosen, and then his white chest was exposed.
"What are you doing..." Chen Lian was weak. He grabbed A Jiang's wrist, but was thrown away with great force. Because he had no strength left, his body was thrown to the side and his heartbeat almost stopped at this moment.
A Jiang didn't answer, his face expressionless as he continued his actions indifferently. Shen Lian felt the cold water running down his waist, his clothes being stripped away, his body exposed to the cold air, and he shivered uncontrollably.
"Don't..." Shen Lian's voice was weak and desperate. He tried to use his last bit of strength to resist, but his body bound by iron chains could not make any effective resistance.
A Jiang's hand touched Shen Lian's skin, cold and rough, which made Shen Lian feel nauseous. He closed his eyes, unwilling to look at A Jiang's face that was once familiar but now extremely unfamiliar.
The waves in the water dungeon became more violent because of Shen Lian's struggle, splashing water everywhere, and the sound echoed in the small space, as if accompanying Shen Lian's despair.
What Chen Lian couldn't understand was that Ah Jiang clearly didn't love him and had already fallen out with him, so how could he continue to do such a thing? Could anyone with a thick skin do it? That was simply disgusting!
When I woke up again, three days had passed.
He was lying on a big bed, his body wrapped only in a thin red gauze. He sat up and felt pain all over his body. He raised his hands and found that both his arms and thighs had many marks from being pinched.
Chen Lian struggled to get off the bed, his legs still trembling, but he forced himself to stand steady. He looked around and saw that the surroundings were all covered with red gauze curtains, just like his body, which looked like a place for fireworks.
As expected, this place was not soundproof, and he felt shy when he heard ambiguous sounds coming from next door.
Suddenly the door was pushed open. When Shen Lian saw the person standing at the door, he couldn't help but step back. He covered himself and was still afraid of A Jiang.
"Awake?" Seeing Chen Lian's movements, Ah Jiang snorted coldly. He strode forward and dragged Chen Lian to the bed. "Do you know where this is?"
Without waiting for Chen Lian to answer, he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. From now on, you will be the shared furnace here!"
Chen Lian's face turned pale instantly, his body trembling with fear. He couldn't believe his ears. A Jiang was actually going to put him in such an unbearable situation. A Jiang knew that he hated...
Yes, A Jiang didn't love himself at all. It was all a conspiracy. He had given it to the wrong person. It was his wishful thinking that God would have mercy on him and give him a person who would never leave him. Now that he thinks about it, it's really ridiculous.
"Pa--" With this sound, A Jiang's face was forced to turn sideways.
"I would rather die than let you insult me like this."
"Die? Do you think dying is that easy?" Ah Jiang turned around, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. He sneered, as if mocking Shen Lian's arrogance. "Here, you don't even have the qualifications to die."
A Jiang stood up and clapped his hands, and five strong men walked into the house.
At that moment, Chen Lian suddenly understood what A Jiang was going to do. He immediately stood up and ran. He had never thought that he would end up like this today. He...
