Chapter 37: Evil Resentment Eleventh Sacrifice Lingche, You Have No Heart

Ji Lingche's head fell on his neck, and he fell backwards.

The figure was reflected directly in Qu Wu Ji's eyes, and he watched her fall heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Qu Wu Ji was stunned and made no sound.

With a muffled roar, Li Lingxi screamed as if possessed by a demon, causing the chain on his scapula to shake violently, causing the cross-shaped elevated structure to tremble, the water to surge, and huge waves to roll up.

In an instant, water flooded Jinshan, the palace cracked, and the formation collapsed inch by inch. It seemed that the hell that had locked him up for hundreds of years was about to be destroyed.

Qu Wuji knelt on the ground.

Debris fell from above his head, and water flooded up, soaking his clothes and chilling him to the bone.

But his mind was blank, he had no thoughts at all, and he could no longer see what was happening around him.

All he wanted was to die with her.

He crawled forward on his knees, and the water splashed.

He grabbed Ji Lingche's hand and shook it continuously.

Her hand was soaked in ice-cold water, which took away the remaining body temperature and made it frighteningly cold. Qu Wuji held her hand and placed it on his heart, trying to warm it with his body temperature, but the hand would not warm up no matter what.

Qu Wu Ji pulled her into his arms and gently lifted her broken neck. He saw that her face was pale and her head was hanging down heavily, looking indescribably pitiful.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his sea of ​​consciousness, which was hundreds or thousands of times more painful than the pain of going through the thunder tribulation and having his golden elixir cut out. It was as if his neck was strangled and he was suffocating. He was no longer himself.

Qu Wuji lowered his head and gently placed his forehead against her cold forehead. He felt as if he had never been so close to her, yet never so far away...

He closed his eyes, and tears fell one by one, landing on her face, cold and wet.

Qu Wu Ji pressed his lips against her cold cheek and smiled softly.

Why does it have to be like this, again and again.

The cold water kept pouring in. Qu Wu Ji knelt on the ground and hugged her. The water had already reached his chest. If he didn't move, it would submerge him completely.

Qu Wu Ji did not cast any spells or use any magic, he just held her motionlessly.

He whispered, "Take me with you, okay?"

The next moment, cold water choked his nasal cavity and Qu Wu Ji closed his eyes.

But suddenly, he couldn't help but shudder, and felt a strange spiritual pressure burst out -

The pitch-black ring on Ji Lingche's finger suddenly flashed, and then the ring shattered instantly. A dazzling white light burst out, wrapping up the two of them. In a moment, the light dissipated, and the two disappeared out of thin air!

…

Qu Wuji's sea of ​​consciousness was buzzing, and he felt dizzy. His five senses suddenly disappeared, and the world fell into chaos.

Suddenly, a hand was placed heavily on his shoulder, pulling him back!

Qu Wu Ji suddenly stepped on solid ground and stumbled. His vision gradually became clear, but in front of him was a dark blue water, which was the place where he first met Mu Ye.

He turned around suddenly and saw a face with a faint smile.

Ji Lingche: "What happened? Why did you scare our Lord like this?"

She spread out her palm, which contained some black fragments. It was obviously the ring that had just glowed, but was now broken.

This ring was exactly what Gu Chaoyin had thrown to her in Baiyu Tower.

Ji Lingche smiled somewhat complacently and said, "You've never seen the Ring of Retrospection, have you?"

This unparalleled artifact gives you a chance to start over, which is equivalent to having an extra life.

Once this ring is triggered, one hour later, it will take the wearer back to the trigger point one hour ago.

——Regardless of life and death of those who observe the precepts.

An hour ago, before Ji Lingche went to chase Mu Ye, he sensed something was wrong and started the backtracking process when he put the ring on his hand.

So no matter what happened within this hour, when the time was up, she would return to where she was before she went into the water.

As for Qu Wu Ji, Ji Lingche implanted a silver butterfly in his body, so the ring would think that he and the ring bearer are one and the same, and both of them could go back in time at the same time.

This is also the reason why she dared to strangle Ji Taier to death without hesitation.

Because she is not afraid of death at all, she just wants to save face.

But Qu Wu Ji was completely unaware of all this.

He really thought she was dead.

He still hasn't recovered from the dull pain.

Qu Wu Ji didn't look at the ring, but just stared at her intently, his chest heaving violently.

His chest felt heavy as if a stone was pressing against it. He felt that she hadn't told him anything and that he was being played around like a dog.

The dull pain in my heart turned into endless sorrow.

In the end, he said nothing and turned his face away. In the shadow, where Ji Lingche couldn't see, a tear slid down his cheek and was blocked by his high nose bridge.

Ji Lingche tilted his head and vaguely saw a glimmer of light on the side of his face. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

He said coldly: "What do you think?"

Ji Lingche: "Well, actually I didn't mean to hide it from you, I..."

Qu Wuji: "That's enough, stop talking."

Ji Lingche stopped talking and tilted his head to look at him.

Seeing that he was angry, she tugged at his sleeve: "Hey, the immortals say that love, hate, anger, and ignorance are all sins, so one should not show joy or anger on one's face..."

Qu Wuji finally turned around and stared at her with his eyes lowered. His eyes were bloodshot and looked a little pitiful, but he quickly looked away: "...that's all."

"Ji Lingche, you have no heart."

Ji Lingche was stunned for a moment, and touched his chest, where he could clearly feel the pulse of his heart.

She exhaled: "You scared me. I thought the side effects of this ring had destroyed my heart..."

Qu Wu Ji stared at her with a pair of light-colored eyes, which were sparkling at the moment, the kind of brightness that had been washed by tears, but the disappointment and loneliness were obvious.

He said, "Ji Lingche, you really have no heart."

Ji Lingche was stunned for a moment: "...I'm sorry?"

Qu Wuji's tone was calm, as if it was devoid of any emotion: "You haven't wronged me, it's all my own wishful thinking. I've been entangled with you and made you tired of me."

He said coldly, "In that case, I'll do as you say. Once you leave the city, whether you live or die, or whatever evil you do next, it will have nothing to do with me. All past grudges will be wiped clean, and we'll pretend we've never met."

Ji Lingche was stunned when he heard this. He felt uncomfortable but couldn't put his finger on it. After a long pause, he said, "Whatever you say?"

Qu Wu Ji felt a pang of pain in his heart, as if his heart was crushed, but his expression became colder and colder. But in the end he said nothing. He just waved his hand, and Ji Lingche suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand. He saw that the golden seal was exorcised.

Ji Lingche realized something belatedly and said, "Shang Zheng, are you angry with me?"

"Are you really mad at me?"

Qu Wu Ji's face was as cold as ice, but he wanted to go crazy, really wanted to.

He wanted to tell her that he had gone crazy a long time ago.

He wanted to bite her lips and make her mouth full of blood.

I wanted to strangle her neck and tell her that I would never let her go, that I would hate her forever and ever, and would haunt her forever and ever until the sky collapsed and the earth tore apart...

But he said nothing, did nothing, just stared at her coldly with his brown eyes, with an extremely indifferent look. After a long while, he said, "Angry? You must be mistaken."

Ji Lingche let out a long sigh and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead: "That's good, that's good..."

"Fortunately, you're not as crazy as Li Lingxi, otherwise it would be really scary."

Qu Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly, covering her with his gaze, and said word by word: "Yes."

Ji Lingche heard Qu Wuji's subtle sarcasm and changed the subject -

"In that case, let's go and meet that insane imperial teacher and the deceitful princess."

Qu Wu Ji suddenly grabbed her wrist tightly and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

After a long while of sulking, he asked, "Do you really want to die?"

Ji Lingche's wrist ached, and he said, "Who says we have to be enemies and fight to the death?"

She stared at Qu Wuji with a pair of bright eyes: "I provoked him before to see if I could win in a head-on confrontation. Since I can't beat him, why bother fighting?"

"Why can't I exploit his weaknesses and use him to my advantage?"

Ji Lingche is such a person.

Even though she had just had her neck broken by that man not long ago, she would not succumb to fear. Instead, she would become more and more courageous and would think about how to deal with him this time.

He is bold and daring.

"To be used by you?" Qu Wuji sneered, "You think too highly of yourself."

Frivolous, really frivolous to the extreme.

Ji Lingche looked at him clenching his hands tightly and frowned, "What are you doing? What I want to do has nothing to do with you, right?"

Qu Wuji's hands were shaking constantly. His voice was very soft, yet very domineering: "What if I tell you not to go?"

Ji Lingche placed his hand on the back of his cold hand and smiled: "Don't you know exactly what I will do?"

She pried his hands apart bit by bit, her tone somewhat nonchalant: "Then I can only get rid of you and go by myself."

"You know you can't stop me. It's always been like this."

Get rid of you.

Qu Wu Ji thought, what kind of burden or trash is he? Can he be thrown away just like that?

It is true.

It's like this again.

Still like this...

Qu Wu Ji felt as if his mind was blank.

This time he wasn't just thinking about it.

He shook Ji Lingche's shoulders and yelled like a madman, "Why!"

"Why don't you tell me what you do? I'm so worried about you, why don't you ever take me with you?!"

It has always been like this.

He just felt something stuck in his throat and couldn't speak. He looked at her quietly, his cold eyes sparkling at this moment. After a long time, his eyes could no longer hold back the tears and they rolled down.

Ji Lingche stood there in a daze, watching the man's tears falling like pearls, reflected by the dark blue water. On his extremely handsome face, it was as if a god was shedding tears, and even pain could be appreciated.

His paranoid tone gradually softened, and it was filled with inexplicable sorrow: "Alan, so you think I'm blocking your way..."

"When you need me, you tease me a bit, and when you don't, you kick me away, right?"

"So, what do you take me for?"

Ji Lingche was at a loss, but he couldn't stand seeing people cry, let alone Qu Wuji.

She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, and coaxed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't..."

Although she didn't know where she was wrong.

Qu Wuji suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her away: "Stay away from me."

He turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

This was the second time she saw him cry.

The first time was when he cut open his golden elixir.

Ji Lingche suddenly felt sad, his heart seemed to be aching, but he couldn't tell why.

No one spoke for a long time, and there was dead silence.

Ji Lingche felt that he should find something to say quickly, but he also felt that nothing he said would be right.

So they just stood there in silence, with only the water running beneath their feet, the two of them looking at each other in silence.

Ji Lingche suddenly felt that he seemed to have really messed up.

If this is the case, she and Qu Wu Ji are completely finished. They won't even be enemies anymore. They will probably have to pretend not to know each other in the future.

She looked at the dark blue water for a long time and said, "I'm not kidding you..."

"I just can't turn back."

She knew very well that she was on a road of no return and was destined to die alone and miserably.

She was used to being criticized by everyone, used to being abandoned by friends and relatives, and used to being alone.

She turned around and looked at him: "I am not afraid of death, and I am even less afraid of being ruined."

"I'm afraid that if I retreat, I'll never be able to muster the courage again, and I'll be defeated step by step until I'm completely defeated."

"So I will do what I want to do, even if it means I will be torn to pieces—"

Suddenly, Qu Wuji said, "But you never asked me."

Ji Lingche turned to look at him: "What?"

Qu Wuji: "Ask me if I'm willing to go with you."

Ji Lingche was a little surprised, and a faint blue light danced in her eyes.

She pondered, "What do you mean, you want to commit crimes with me?"

Qu Wuji: "What if I say yes?"

She was stunned for a long time before she said, "If I go to die, will you go with me?"

Qu Wu Ji looked at her with a serious gaze, as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.

He said word by word: "If you die, I can't live."

Ji Lingche laughed, his eyes curved in a very pretty way, but he seemed insincere: "Look, you're talking nonsense again."

"During the years since I died, you were clearly in high spirits and extremely happy."

Qu Wuji murmured, "...pleasure?"

He just looked at her silently with a cold expression, and his gaze made Ji Lingche feel creepy.

Ji Lingche. Your heart has been eaten by a dog.

He suddenly felt a splitting headache and was about to go crazy, but suddenly his hand felt cold.

When I came to my senses, I found that my hand was being grabbed.

Ji Lingche tugged at his hand and looked at him: "No matter what, I won't abandon you this time."

Qu Wuji was stunned, only to see her raise her eyebrows slightly: "You said you would live and die with me, right? If I go to die, won't you come?"

Qu Wuji lowered his eyes, sneered, and said lightly: "You must think I'm cheap, Ji Guanlan?"

Just give him a slap, no need to give him any sweet treats, just wave your hand and he will come over eagerly, right?

Ji Lingche didn't know what he was thinking. These incoherent words were like a bolt of lightning that left her dumbfounded. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Qu Wuji grabbed her hand with his backhand, slowly interlocking his fingers with hers, holding it tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go: "You won't abandon me this time, but what about later? Are you going to dump me after you leave the city?"

Ji Lingche was taken aback for a moment, and said with a mixture of truth and falsehood: "Then from now on, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will never leave you, no matter if you live or die. How about that?"

Qu Wuji chuckled, polishing the meaning behind his words: "I will never leave you, no matter life or death."

He smiled without any warmth: "You'd better always remember what you said."

I'm serious, Ji Lingche, you'd better be able to do it.

The two of them were still holding hands tightly. Ji Lingche didn't want to argue with him anymore. He looked at the dark blue water and said, "Let's go."

"This time, I'll take you away."

She pulled him towards her, and they both fell into the cold water again, heading towards the bottom.
