Chapter 435 Elope with Me

Ye Xiaoman felt sad for what happened to Zhuchuideng and Chepan Village.

After spending some time together, she established friendships with the Zhu family and other villagers, and could no longer simply treat them as dead objects.

It is really hard to bear to see such simple and kind people meet a tragic end, but there is nothing we can do.

Ordinary people try their best just to survive.

The village chief ran around seeking help, while the villagers overcame their fear and surrounded the monster. Even when all attempts failed, they still did not give up hope and built fortifications day and night. Because home and family were behind them, they could not let themselves give up.

Even though he tried so hard, he still died in the end because of the monk's greed.

In Ye Xiaoman's opinion, the Xianque Sect was blinded by greed. Not only was it extremely arrogant, but it was also incredibly stupid.

They thought they could use magic to deceive the world and escape the judgment of cause and effect, but they did not consider that since Chepan Village could give birth to ancient monsters, the ground veins must have been affected by the chaotic magnetic field of the troubled times and had turned into an extremely dangerous place.

Daring to kill and set fire in a dangerous place, and using brutal methods to torture people to death, is like a toad jumping into a frying pan - seeking death.

This directly led to the birth of the evil ghost Zhuchuideng.

After Zhu Chuideng turned into a ghost, he devoured the Xianque Sect monks present. When he became powerful enough, he broke into the Xianque Sect's mountain gate and slaughtered the sect master and all the sect members.

Do you still remember the Black Water Red Flower? Ye Xiaoman speculated that the wronged souls trapped in the Black Water for thousands of years might be the souls of the Xianque Sect monks, tortured to this day and still unable to escape.

Cause and effect are cyclical, and retribution will come.

"I already told you it's dangerous, why did you follow me?"

Zhu Chuideng spotted Ye Xiaoman in the crowd at a glance and walked over to ask helplessly.

Ye Xiaoman said: “I’m worried about you.”

Zhu Chuideng's eyes were gentle: "Go home."

"Um."

They walked down the mountain in the spring breeze, along the green ridges of the rice fields, heading towards home.

Ye Xiaoman never walked in a regular manner. When she got tired of walking in a straight line, she walked sideways like a crab, swinging her arms restlessly, and occasionally picking some wild fruits from the grass by the roadside to eat.

Zhu Chuideng carried the lunch basket for her from behind, watching her make sure she didn't accidentally fall off the ridge of the field, and a doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Aunt, do you want to tell me something?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoman turned to face Zhu Chuideng, trying hard to raise her head to look at him while walking backwards. "Are you going to invite the cultivators from the Xianque Sect?"

Zhu Chuideng: "Sister-in-law knows about the Xianque Sect?"

He couldn't help laughing when he saw her lips dyed purple by the juice of wild fruits.

Ye Xiaoman followed his gaze and subconsciously licked her lips, licking the purple color lighter.

It was a simple action, and Zhu Chuideng was stunned again.

I really want to jump into the cold river to clear my head.

He didn't sleep well last night because he saw her coming out of the bath, and he probably would suffer from insomnia for a while in the future.

Ye Xiaoman said, "You know I'm an outsider, sold here from far away. I've heard and seen a lot along the way, so my knowledge is slightly broader than yours."

"The Xianque Sect doesn't seem to have a very good reputation. I heard they often do evil things like killing people and stealing treasures."

Zhu Chuideng's expression grew serious. "Is that so?"

Ye Xiaoman suggested, "I understand how you feel. I really want to rescue everyone from this dire situation. But when you get to the city, it would be best if you could ask someone to find out about the reputation of the Xianque Sect before taking any further action."

Zhu Chuideng agreed immediately, "Okay, I will be more careful."

Ye Xiaoman threw a wild fruit she picked to Zhu Chuideng. The established result could not be reversed, so what was the point in weaving a beautiful dream for him in illusion?

Just have a good dream that you really protect the village and your relatives and friends.

Zhu Chuideng turned the wild fruit she gave him in his hands, brought it to his mouth, and then put it down, reluctant to eat it.

"Aunt looks unhappy?"

The villagers were excited because they saw hope, and Ye Xiaoman seemed out of place among the people around her.

Ye Xiaoman sighed: "I was thinking, life always seems to change beyond recognition because of a choice."

It was rare for her to be so profound, but Zhu Chuideng interpreted it in a different way, thinking that she was alluding to their relationship and that he had chosen to cross the line yesterday, which made her uncomfortable.

He remembered what she said when she brought him food - they couldn't continue to pretend nothing happened.

"Is this what Auntie wants to tell me?" Zhu Chuideng's throat felt bitter. "I will obey your wishes from now on and strictly control my behavior."

Just like today, they walked the same road, but they could never walk side by side openly. She walked in front and he followed behind.

But he thought that as long as he could always look at her back in his life, he would be satisfied.

Zhu Chuideng took the initiative to mention the relationship issue, and Ye Xiaoman took the opportunity to perform.

Her main task today is to find Zhu Chuideng to break the window paper, confess her love to him and invite him to elope with her.

"Have you decided to give up on me?"

Ye Xiaoman raised her voice, her lips trembling slightly, pretending to be deeply hurt. She looked at Zhu Chuideng with disappointment and heartache.

"I rejected you in front of your uncle, not because I didn't like you, but because I liked you too much and didn't want you to suffer any injustice."

"Zhu Chuideng, what I want is not the compromise of three people being together, but the two of us belonging to each other completely, no one else, just the two of us!"

"Aunt..." Zhu Chuideng didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. Ye Xiaoman's sudden confession once again disrupted his mental defenses that had been hard at work to recover.

Ye Xiaoman turned around sadly, with her back to him.

Zhu Chuideng strode to her side. He was a rough man who was straightforward and decisive in front of everyone, but when he faced Ye Xiaoman, he saw that she was angry and couldn't even explain himself.

"I... Auntie doesn't dislike me. That's great. I'm so happy..."

"I thought about it all night, my uncle is not worthy of you, but I..."

Zhu Chuideng, like all young people trapped in love, met the person he wanted to protect the most at the age when he was most powerless. He said dejectedly: "I can't give my aunt happiness."

"I have no home."

“I don’t even have land of my own.”

"I can't support you."

Ye Xiaoman did not accept Zhu Chuideng's words. Like a lover burning with love, she held his face with both hands and said eagerly: "Zhu Chuideng, look into my eyes, look at me."

Her bright eyes looked at him and said, "Take me away. Let's leave here and go anywhere."

Zhu Chuideng was silent for a long time. It was hard for him to refuse Ye Xiaoman's proposal. To build a family for the two of them in a completely new place...

Finally, he shook his head in frustration, "Where can I take you in these troubled times?"

Ye Xiaoman said, "You can do it."
