You love her

Shuixi is kind and harmonious.

The house-guarding beasts always came in pairs, one on the left and one on the right, and their strength was equally matched. But Shuixi and He'ai, for some unknown reason, had awakened out of sync.

He'ai was precocious. In the words of Yunsheng Hall's first master, He'ai was like a child who had just opened his eyes and had become a war god, slaying all before him. He was calm and resourceful. Even just this one guardian beast was enough.

When He Ai was born so brilliantly, Shui Xi actually had his own consciousness. Hearing everyone praising He Ai, he became even more anxious to wake up, but things often went against his wishes. The more anxious he became, the less he could stay on the right track of cultivation, which delayed him for a long time.

Until one rainy night, the daughter of a commander in the town broke into the mountain gate. He Ai mistook her for an evil spirit and used too much force, seriously injuring himself when he tried to retract his strength. Shui Xi then grew up quickly, but he was still not as successful as the genius He Ai.

How could he have made a mistake? Not only her, but every living creature in her house was not good. The house-guarding beasts lacked human thinking and therefore did not understand the ways of the world. The girl's father was the true financial backer of the Yunsheng Temple they were protecting.

Before the girl appeared, the guardian beast had no name. Later, the girl played tricks and took up residence in the palace, severely injuring He Ai. However, one moonlit night, He Ai escaped from the stone statue and transformed into a human form. He and the girl got along so well that even the two sons of the Hui family became a little jealous. So, he was named He Ai.

"I have a younger brother who hasn't woken up yet. Can you help me choose a name for him?"

"Then he'll be called Shuixi." The girl blurted out without thinking, her expression hinting at amusement. However, her kindness had caught the girl's Imperius Curse, and the clever man didn't even notice it. "There are many evil spirits in the Shuixi area. He won't starve."

The area west of Shuixi is a cemetery. Even the guardian beasts prefer places with beautiful mountains and rivers and excellent feng shui.

She was so vicious. No one noticed, everyone liked her. For her, He Ai defected, and Yunsheng Palace suffered a heavy blow.

Shuixi recalled it now, and still wished he had been the one to wake up first. He was the one with the highest talent. When Lu Cangyue broke into the mountain gate, he simply swallowed her in one gulp.

The lights on the ceiling went out. Only the screens of the various instruments monitoring Hui Zifeng's vital signs remained lit, causing Shuixi's face to turn green and yellow.

His eyes were glowing green.

Shuixi bit his knuckles, and this fake body naturally shed blood and tears. Wisps of black gas emanated from his body, circling towards Hui Zifeng.

In reality, Shuixi knew that he hated himself, not Lu Cangyue. After all these years, his heart knot still remained unresolved. Why was he always inferior to He'an?

He Ai defected, and no one blamed him. He stayed with the Hui family, but was despised by everyone.

Kill him, Shuixi thought.

He should have killed this man at that time thousands of years ago.

"Go with peace of mind, young master." Shuixi's knot in his heart was about to end here.

The lights in the room suddenly flickered on, and Shuixi's eyes stung. He instantly retracted his bloody mouth, concealing his murderous intent, and became extremely nervous in front of Ming Yan.

The Iron Horse Flower Blowing Sword came crashing down at Shuixi, who was unable to dodge and was cut on the face by the sharp weapon. When it fell, it also scratched the side of his neck. Blood oozed slightly.

Such a dangerous weapon, is it that Ming Yan still doesn't understand its power, or is there some other reason?

He was injured, but Ming Yan didn't care about him at the first time. This was very strange.

"You want to kill him?" Ming Yan said with disdain. He sat leisurely at the end of Hui Zifeng's bed and pointed at the fallen Tiema Guanhua. "Pick it up for me."

There was no aura of evil spirit on her, and Shuixi didn't understand why Mingyan was like this.

Shuixi squatted down and picked up the iron horse, still thinking, when he suddenly felt a foot on his shoulder, turning the direction. Shuixi knelt on one knee on the ground, turned around and faced Ming Yan.

Ming Yan sneered and wiped some of the blood off Shuixi's face. "Why are you pretending? This is your attitude after rejecting a girl who confessed her feelings?"

Something in Shuixi's brain collapsed, and it felt extremely stuffy.

"Does it hurt?" Ming Yan gave Shui Xi a light kick, concentrating his force on her shoulder. His body swayed slightly, and the look he gave her when he looked up at Ming Yan told her that he had done nothing wrong, and he wouldn't admit his mistakes. "You don't feel any pain at all, why are you pretending to be weak in front of me? No matter how much pain you feel, is it as painful as mine?"

The iron horse swung at Shuixi's face. The fierce blow caused Shuixi's massive body to fall to one side. The wounds from such a severe blow slowly appeared on the affected area.

He originally had no sense of pain. However, he possessed a sense called "learned pain." Of all human emotions, only pain couldn't be concealed with a bland expression. So Shuixi learned to suffer. He didn't feel pain with his body, but instead, when it was time to feel pain, he naturally placed every part of his body in a state of near-death. This was the pain unique to inanimate creatures like the house-guarding beast.

I also learned this from He Ai. It was a real near-death experience, a self-initiated one.

He felt pain when he was beaten. He felt wronged in front of Ming Yan. Shui Xi knew that she would fall for his tricks more or less.

"I'm sorry." Shuixi feigned weakness, his handsome face, enhanced by the blood, as he anticipated Ming Yan's mercy. Even if his confession was rejected, it didn't mean his love for him would vanish. He thought that this was the way it was, that dealing with Ming Yan would be easy for him.

However, his prediction was wrong. Ming Yan raised the Iron Horse Flower Blow and struck him hard on the shoulder. As he fell back in pain, he struck him again, piercing his back.

"The consequences of betraying me are more than that. Shuixi, are you okay? I know you're not hurt, but if you keep doing this over and over again, you'll definitely die."

She said.

This is not Ming Yan.

Shuixi vividly portrayed the damage each blow inflicted on his body. However, upon realizing the man before him couldn't possibly be Ming Yan, he revealed a wary, threatening look.

Ming Yan was smiling triumphantly, playing with her iron horse and watching the flowers.

Shuixi felt the area where he'd been hit getting wet, and when he touched it, his hand was covered in blood. The Iron Horse Flower Blossom looked like a fan, but when it fell, it had teeth like a chainsaw.

If he'd injured a real person, he wouldn't have realized it so late. If it were a real person, injured like this, they would have been lying on the ground, waiting to die. Shuixi didn't realize the power of Tiema Guanhua at first, so he was so calm. Now, there was no need for him to pretend.

He stood up, looking from up to down, from a low position to a high position, and the superficial threat in his eyes completely turned into a determination to devour the opponent without leaving a trace.

Ming Yan was not intimidated at all. He twisted the Tiema Guanhua in his hand into a flower and placed it around his neck. Seeing the rampant Shuixi, he immediately paused, his momentum mostly dissipated. He said with a hint of pride, "Even we Shuixi have times when we can't bring ourselves to do anything? Didn't you want to kill me just now? What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Young Master, what do you want?" Shui Xi didn't want to talk any more to this wicked man. He had finally made the decision to end it all, and he was worried he wouldn't be able to defeat his former master. His hatred for him made Shui Xi add maliciously, "You've been dead for many years, what else do you want?"

"Kneel down." The young master's eyes appeared in Ming Yan's eyes.

Shuixi knelt obediently. It was unheard of for a guardian beast to kneel before its master. Only his young master needed to gain self-respect and satisfaction from his submission.

"It seems that the Hui family is not as important as my safety, haha..." Ming Yan laughed, "Shuixi, since you like me, why did you reject me?"

Ming Yan suddenly changed into a different person, regaining her previous kind temperament. Her eyes finally revealed the pity that Shui Xi had hoped for. She bent down, staring at Shui Xi's injured face and slowly approached, gently caressing it with her soft fingertips, making Shui Xi feel confused and fascinated.

"What are you pretending to be? Can you make that expression? Can you be moved like a human being?"

Sometimes she looks like Ming Yan, and sometimes like the young master. Shuixi can't tell.

"Boss, do you want to try?" Shuixi grabbed the Tiema Guanhua, but Mingyan didn't let go, as if trying to wrest the weapon from him. Shuixi pulled Mingyan closer. He exerted force, and Mingyan fell into his arms.

At this moment she realized that she was in danger, but because this person was Shuixi, she did not resist and waited to see what the other party wanted to do.

"Do you remember how it felt when we first kissed?" Shuixi's gaze shifted to Mingyan's lips, giving her a chance, waiting for her to make a decision. "I remember it clearly, and I want to do it again. Boss, if you're not afraid of me, I don't want to worry about you like a good person. Are you ready? Is this okay?"

After the conversation ended, Ming Yan still did not escape his embrace. She stared into his eyes, and from them she saw some of the information Shui Xi had released.

His eyes turned green. Black mist shadows moved everywhere. She saw two stone guardian beasts squatting at the entrance of Yunsheng Hall on a rainy night. Three people stood on the steps: an old man and two young men with similar faces, all wearing ancient clothes. Amidst lightning and thunder, the wind and clouds shifted, and the people on the stage kept changing. Shuixi walked out of the stone statue and stayed by the side of the person on the stage. Shuixi opened his mouth wide, swallowing the evil spirits in the air one by one. All the darkness gathered in his pair of green eyes. Mingyan saw his fierce face again.

By the way, the last person on the stage was Hui Zifeng. Ming Yan realized why Shuixi was Hui Zifeng's lackey. He was still the guardian of the Hui family, and had not changed for thousands of years.

Ming Yan suddenly absorbed this information, and his thoughts were in a state of confusion when he heard Shui Xi ask, "Boss, are you ready? Do you want to accept me as I am?"

Shuixi restrained herself and waited for Mingyan's answer. Mingyan moved closer to him, and Shuixi immediately pounced on him, becoming the leader in confirming the feelings, and madly demanded her love.

In a state of confusion and fascination, Shuixi opened his eyes and stared at the Iron Horse Flower with a sharp gaze. Now, he was certain of one thing: the young master's evil spirit was not parasitic on Mingyan's body, but on this weapon that belonged to the young master. The Iron Horse Flower had affected Mingyan's mind.

He truly didn't have any emotions. Such a loving kiss was just a cold imitation. But it was also true that he didn't want Ming Yan to be hurt.
