Lu Shiqing's attitude also aroused Luo Chu's anger.

"Are you crazy, Lu Shiqing!" Luo Chu glared angrily at Lu Shiqing. "I really don't understand you. Are you sure you love her and don't hate her to the core?"

"You've used every trick in the book you could think of to get her. Does it really matter whether she likes you or not?"

Luo Chu didn't understand. If Shen Sang didn't like him, couldn't he try harder to make her like him?

He acts like a madman all day long, forever immersed in fantasies of the past.

"To get some so-called answer, you didn't hesitate to put her in such a dangerous situation. Didn't you ever think about what would happen if she got hurt, or..."

He paused, took a deep breath, and then, trembling, uttered the last half of his sentence, "Or will I lose my life because of this?"

"You don't like her at all. You only ever care about yourself. I've never seen anyone like you like someone like this before. If Shen Sang is liked by someone like you, she's really having the worst luck in eight lifetimes!"

"I think I've been willful enough, Lu Shiqing, you're even more inhuman than me."

He glared fiercely at Lu Shiqing before looking at the projection.

"Stop right now! I also have half the control, I order you to stop!" Of course, Luo Chu couldn't just stand by and watch Shen Sangri get into trouble.

However, the changing projected images showed no sign of stopping.

"It's too late." Lu Shiqing slowly uttered a few words, his eyes still filled with obsession.

Because of Luo Chu's words, his face lost its color and appeared somewhat pale.

As if he had been stabbed, his hands clenched tightly together, his nails digging into his palms, so hard that drops of blood flowed out.

She hurriedly began to explain, "What do you know? You don't understand at all! Of course I like her, I just, I just..."

He wanted to refute Luo Chu's words; he wasn't like that at all. He was the person who loved Shen Sangruo the most in the world.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say anything.

How could he bear to hurt her? It was all because she forced him to. She refused to acknowledge her feelings for him, so he could only treat her this way.

Luo Chu simply doesn't understand. He wasn't the one who experienced this relationship, so what right does he have to judge his actions? He wouldn't understand.

"You're insane, you're really insane! You say you like her, but what you've done isn't hurting her?"

Seeing that the order could not be reversed, Luo Chu was devastated and roared at Lu Shiqing, "If anything happens to her, I will never let you off the hook!"

Lu Shiqing also realized that his behavior did not seem to show that much "love" for Shen Sangruo, so he immediately began to make amends and maintain his "deeply affectionate" persona.

"If she is injured, I will suffer the same injury as her; if she dies, I will not live on alone."

Yes, it's about sharing the pain and facing death together! They're destined to be together!

As if convinced by himself, the panic he felt at being exposed gradually subsided, replaced by his usual stubbornness.

He sneered, "Instead of criticizing me, you should pray that Sang Ruo can successfully erase that part of her memory."

"The fact that someone is no longer in her world is a good thing for both of us. Haven't you always wanted her to come back? If you were the only one who entered this place, wouldn't you have done the same? Stop with your hypocrisy."

"You!" Luo Chu was furious at these words and angrily turned her head to the side. "Do you think I'm like you?"

Not wanting to see Lu Shiqing again, he stared intently at Shen Sangruo's projection, worry filling his heart.

Please don't let anything happen, Shen Sangruo.

In the space on the other side.

Shen Sanruo quickly banished the thought of developing feelings for Lu Shiqing from her mind, as if she wanted to avoid him at all costs.

"Let's go see our master and let him take a look. Maybe it's been contaminated by some evil spirit. It's quite frightening."

She turned and walked towards Lingxiao Zhenren's cave.

Where she couldn't see, an invisible hand suddenly reached out from behind her!

This is the consciousness of the illusion, the same voice that guided Lu Shiqing and the other person earlier.

The illusory consciousness's gaze was incredibly greedy. Since Lu Shiqing had said that he would achieve his goal no matter what method he used, it naturally had to "complete" the task "well".

Making that part of her memory disappear is easy; all it takes is for the maker to tamper with her soul...

The two people outside the projection could see those hands. Watching those hands mercilessly pierce into Shen Sangruo's back, forcefully tearing at her soul, trying to shred it to pieces, the two finally panicked.

"Lu Shiqing! This is what you've done!" Luo Chu's voice trembled.

Damage to the soul is more terrifying than losing one's life. Once the soul is gone, one truly and completely disappears from this world!

The ferocity of those hands was clearly aimed at tearing Shen Sangruo's soul apart!

"Lu Shiqing, you deserve to die! If Shen Sanruo's soul is gone, will you replace it with your own?!" He grabbed Lu Shiqing by the collar and punched him in the cheek.

Luo Chu had never dared to lay a hand on Lu Shiqing, but at this moment she simply couldn't control the anger in her heart.

The punch was delivered with full force, and Lu Shiqing's face immediately swelled up, with a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Shiqing, completely ignoring the pain on his face, finally panicked at this moment.

"No! No! Stop! Stop now! I won't let you hurt her!"

He kept calling out, but there was no response; those hands continued to tear at Shen Sangruo's soul.

"Get out! Get out!"

Lu Shiqing's eyes filled with tears as he screamed wildly, trying to pull those hands away, but he could only pass through the projection again and again.

A sense of powerlessness and despair filled his entire being.

As Shen Sanruo took a step toward Lingxiao Zhenren's cave, a sharp pain shot through her back.

It wasn't physical pain, but pain in my soul.

Her forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

Those hands seemed to be trying to tear her soul out, rip it apart, and separate something from it.

Because her back was turned, the illusory consciousness couldn't see Shen Sangruo's expression. Thinking of her unbearable pain, the violent feeling in his heart was greatly satisfied and he felt extremely happy.

It emitted a sinister laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

Just as it was about to continue tearing at the soul and intensify Shen Sangruo's pain, it felt that the person's soul was strangely resilient and a bit difficult to tear, so it increased the pressure on its hands.

The next moment, its hand was grabbed by another hand.

That hand was slightly pale, a hand made of flesh and blood, yet it was able to firmly grasp the illusory hand of the illusionary consciousness.

The consciousness of the illusion looked up in astonishment and met a pair of eyes.

Before I knew it, the person in front of me had turned around.

"Before you attack my soul, don't you first make sure you're even qualified?"
