Chapter 107 I Don’t Want to Leave

Others heard it and asked, "Miss Fu, how did you know?"

Fu Ning lied without hesitation: "I came from Luanping County. I heard that a group of monks from the Immortal Mountain were kidnapped."

"But..." The others were about to ask more questions, but Yan Qu interrupted them and said to Fu Ning, "Please take us to Luanping County."

"No problem." Fu Ning reminded, "But the evil god is also in Luanping County. It won't be easy for you to rescue people under his nose."

Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. They had all heard about how powerful the evil god was. It was said that the man had already reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage and was the most powerful person in the Demon Realm. It would be easier for him to deal with their cultivators in the God Transformation Stage than to crush an ant.

"Do you have any solution?" Yan Qu looked at her. The person in front of him was the immortal who defeated the evil god five hundred years ago.

Fu Ning smiled and said, "I can help you divert the evil god's attention, but I need you to do me a favor."

Yan Qu naturally agreed, but was a little surprised after hearing Fu Ning's words, "You want Senior Sister Yin to forge weapons for you? I can't guarantee that."

"It's okay, you just need to help me speak for it." In fact, Fu Ning is already thinking of other ideas. She doesn't plan to leave the Demon Realm, nor will she stand against Chongshan. Then, naturally, she and some people in Xianshan who hate the Demon Realm cannot live in peace.

Although she was once an immortal master, she had no sense of mission or belonging to the world of cultivation. She only cared about the people she cared about and did not care which camp she was in.

Fu Ning took them back to Luanping County in another day, thinking that this quarrel with Chongshan was really troublesome.

The people from the Immortal Mountain whispered to Yan Tong: "Brother, I always feel that the timing of Miss Fu's appearance is very subtle and not credible. Could it be that she has already joined the Demon Realm and is leading us into the ditch now?"

Yan Qu said firmly: "Impossible."

His great-grandmaster is the master of the Immortal Mountain. Everyone in the world has the possibility of joining the Demon Realm, except his great-grandmaster.

Seeing how confident he was, others stopped questioning Fu Ning.

Fu Ning stopped at the city gate and said, "Yin Huayue and the others are in the dungeon of Bao's mansion. I will go to attract the attention of the evil god. You can handle the rest by yourselves."

Yan Qu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

Fu Ning rode Xiaoya into the city carelessly, and almost at the same time, Chongshan's men ran to report the news to him.

Even the system reminded Fu Ning that someone was following her. She didn't care and wandered around the city's commercial street. When she was hungry, she went to the city's largest tavern to eat. She glanced at the menu handed to her by the waiter and ordered all the dishes she liked. She already had a lot of money anyway, and Chongshan gave her a lot more after she came out of seclusion.

This time after leaving the mountains, he seemed to have become richer. I don’t know if it has anything to do with money. To be honest, I haven’t seen him yet.

Fu Ning waited for about half an incense stick of time, but no dish was served. He impatiently called the waiter and asked, "Are your vegetables freshly picked from the fields?"

The waiter apologized repeatedly and said he was going to the kitchen to urge them to come back. After a while, he came back and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Your dishes have been sent to the private room on the second floor. The guest asked you to come upstairs to chat."

Fu Ning smiled. Who else could it be but Chongshan? She nodded and followed the waiter up to the second floor and into the private room.

After not seeing him for two days, the man had dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well.

She glanced at the food on the table and saw that they were indeed the ones she ordered. She raised her eyebrows and said, "What does the Demon Lord mean by this?"

"Fu Ning, what do you mean?" Chongshan asked in a hoarse voice.

The voice sounded as if he had just had a serious illness. Fu Ning really couldn't understand how this person could mess himself up like this after not seeing him for two days. She pretended to be confused and asked, "What can I mean?"

"Why did you come back?" Chongshan asked, suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, "Didn't we agree to return to the world of cultivation?"

Why should we give him hope, making him really unable to help but force Fu Ning to stay in the demon world and never let her leave?

Fu Ning sat opposite Chongshan, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice before saying, "I don't want to leave. Is that okay?"

Chongshan continued to ask: "Why don't you want to leave?"

Fu Ning saw the hidden desire in his eyes, just like the desire in his eyes when he looked at her when he left the world of cultivation. At that time, he longed for her to say the words to keep him, but she didn't say it and let him go instead. Now he hoped that she could see clearly what he said about wanting to stay.

She asked back, "What do you think?"

Chongshan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Because the Thirty-Eight Villages are in the Demon Realm, you don't want to be too far away from them."

Fu Ning wanted to crack open his head to see what was inside. Why was he so stupid? She said, "Chongshan, why are you so unconfident?"

She moved her chair next to him and said to him, "I stayed because of you. You were right before, I have no reason to stay in the demon world. The only reason is you, because you are here and I want to be with you."

She saw Chongshan staring at her with a gleam in his eyes, and a tear actually fell from his eyes. She was a little stunned and didn't know why he was crying.

In fact, Chongshan was almost crazy with joy. If Fu Ning's confession to him before was just a confession that she once had a good impression of him, then now it was undoubtedly telling him that she still liked him.

He couldn't control his tears and quietly wiped them away with his hands. He didn't dare to look at Fu Ning, feeling a little embarrassed. He said, "You eat it."

Fu Ning was a mean person. She had never seen Chongshan cry. He had been beaten and verbally humiliated before, but he never cried. But he actually cried because of what she said. She asked curiously, "Why are you crying? Are you sad because I confessed my love to you?"

Chongshan finally turned his head to look at her: "I am happy, it turns out that my love is not unrequited. Someone like me who is so bad has a crush on someone."

"You're not bad." Fu Ning said.

Chongshan shook his head. Not only had he hurt Fu Ning when he was Song Jinghe, he had also hurt her six hundred years ago.

At that time, all his family members were killed, and he had to live in his enemy's house and take his enemy's surname. He almost felt sick when he heard people call him Chen Chongshan every day.

He had no way to vent his emotions and could only rely on hurting himself to resolve them. Sometimes he didn't realize it, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already cut a long, deep bloody mark on his arm with a knife.

At such times, Fu Ning would rush over. No matter where he was, or how she found him, she would always ask, "Who bullied you again? Can you stand up for yourself?"

Later, Fu Ning discovered his self-harming behavior and asked him to stay with her and keep an eye on him at all times.

At that time, the girl crossed her arms and said, "Who knows if you are taking revenge on purpose. I will keep an eye on you and give you no chance to hurt me."

Obviously, Fu Ning had the same feeling as him, but she was always energetic, always positive and optimistic, and never took the pain seriously, unlike him who had already begun to rot in the gutter.

He began to long to see Fu Ning.

But one day Fu Ning didn't come to see him, even though he had cut a deep cut on his arm, she still didn't come.

Chongshan went to find Fu Ning by himself. He received cold stares along the way and finally arrived at Fu Ning's yard. He was stopped outside by her maid again. "My lady is not feeling well today and will not see any guests."

He then realized that Fu Ning had a fever and was not allowed to enter through the main gate, so he climbed over the wall into Fu Ning's yard when no one was paying attention.

It was the first time he saw Fu Ning so weak. She was pale, with a wet towel on her forehead. She was not sleeping well, with her brows furrowed.

He touched the towel, and it was no longer cool enough. He put the towel in the basin, wrung it out, and put it back on Fu Ning's forehead. He heard her say, "Water."

Chongshan poured her a glass of water and fed her to drink. Fu Ning opened her eyes and was a little surprised to see him: "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you." Chongshan said.

Fu Ning took her arm out of the quilt. There was no scar on her fair and slender arm. She muttered, "My hand hurts. Did you do that?"

Chongshan felt guilty and immediately said, "I'm sorry."

Fu Ning's arm was exposed, and he said to him in a daze: "Next time when I'm sick, don't cut myself. It hurts so much."

From then on, Chongshan never dared to hurt his body at will again, for he was afraid of hurting Fu Ning.

——

After finishing the meal, Fu Ning carried his bag and returned to the courtyard where they lived before with Xiao Ya. Chongshan wanted to stay with Fu Ning for a while longer, but was caught by Xiang Ze who had been waiting there for a long time. Xiang Ze asked him to deal with the affairs as there were still many things waiting for him to decide.

The dull afternoon was spent chatting with the system. Fu Ning thought that Yan Qu and his men would take action in the middle of the night, so he sent someone to invite Chongshan to dinner.

As a result, Chongshan did not come for dinner, but came when she was about to go to bed.

"I'm sorry, I had a lot of things to deal with and couldn't have dinner with you."

Fu Ning asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Chongshan shook his head, and Fu Ning said, "Do you want me to do it for you?"

Chongshan immediately held her hand and said, "No need, I'll do it, just accompany me."

Fu Ning smiled. This could be considered as delaying Chongshan. She didn’t care whether Yan Qu and the others could succeed or not.

It was not until the second half of the night that Fu Ning was suddenly awakened by the noise in the mansion. She knew that Yan Qu and his men had begun to take action.

Chongshan was sitting on the main seat in the conference hall, with his subordinates on both sides and several monks from the Twelve Immortal Mountains kneeling in the middle. It was a pity that Yan Qu actually ran away.

The meeting room was completely silent, bringing a strong sense of oppression. He knocked on the handles of the chairs with his hands, making people tremble.

Chongshan asked, "How did you know to come here?"

Several monks looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to give Fu Ning away. They just said, "We found out about this ourselves."

"You're not telling the truth, are you?" Chongshan stopped knocking on the wooden chair and said, "Someone, bring the torture instruments."

He looked at them coldly, "Beat them until they tell the truth."
