Chapter 34 I wait for you to save me, all the willing ones take the bait
What should Zhu Huai do when he realizes that his fiancé, with whom he has been in close contact for many days, is actually a demon who has been dead for many years?
He reached out and touched the tombstone in front of him, scratching over the words "Sixteen".
At the age of sixteen, he could almost imagine what Liu Xiang looked like at that time. He was still very young, with bright red hair, and such a gentle and passionate person.
But such a Liu Xiang died at such a young age with scars all over his body. The torture he suffered before his death may have turned into scars and remained on his body.
Zhu Huai finally understood the cause of Liu Xiang's injury: perhaps that was what he had experienced before his death.
Zhu Huai lowered his eyes, his heart aching. "Why didn't you tell me anything?"
He was a little angry, but he couldn't get angry. Zhu Huai coughed lightly a few times. His frail body prevented him from standing in the cold wind for too long.
He lit three incense sticks in front of Liu Xiang's grave and then turned and left. Zhu Huai wanted to know the truth about Liu Xiang's death.
He walked back into the ancestral hall and when he looked at the tablet enshrined at the top, Zhu Huai felt a different feeling in his heart.
He wanted to look for records about Prime Minister Liu, but the huge ancestral hall was empty, and all the books and miscellaneous items were piled up in the secret room at the back. Without guidance, it would be difficult for Zhu Huai to find what he wanted inside.
But what was extremely coincidental was that when Zhu Huai just walked into the room, a book suddenly fell from the bookshelf and landed not far from Zhu Huai.
Zhu Huai: “…”
What a coincidence!
He picked up the thick ancient book, feeling as if there was an invisible ghost following him.
Zhu Huaidong looked around for a while and then opened the book.
Breaking into other ancestral halls and looking through the Liu family's privacy was an extremely offensive act, but Zhu Huai did not feel guilty at all, because they were the ones who asked him to see it.
After flipping through a few pages, Zhu Huai found the story of Liu Xiang: The Liu family had a son who was born with extraordinary talent and brilliance, with the embryo of a ghost and a body of a spirit.
To ensure the prosperity of the Liu family, his parents trapped him in the ancestral home, dissected his internal organs, carved divine patterns on him, and sealed him beneath the earth's veins, creating a divine fetus. After the divine fetus was fully formed, it was offered a sacrifice to the gods and emerged. It was then worshipped by the Liu family and remained undefeated for ten thousand years.
Just a few short paragraphs told the story of Liu Xiang's life. Zhu Huai turned a page and saw the secret technique of making a divine fetus. The main function of this secret technique was to ensure that the recipient was alive during the process of being made into a divine fetus.
Liu Xiang's parents have gone crazy and they must make their child the future god of sacrifice.
In other words, the gods worshipped by the Liu family in the future must be their children.
However, what they didn't expect was that after the divine fetus was fully formed and the sacrificial god was born, Liu Xiang would not hesitate to attack his parents and would not even allow them to be buried in the clan land after their death.
Were they really not worried about being retaliated against? Or was it that the sixteen-year-old Liu Xiang was not someone who would do such a thing in their eyes?
In their eyes, Liu Xiang was the perfect sacrifice because he was extremely talented, handsome, and respected his teachers. They didn't even think they would be retaliated against because they didn't think they were wrong.
Zhu Huai felt as if he had swallowed a heavy iron ingot in his heart, which made it difficult for him to breathe and his chest felt heavy.
He couldn't imagine what had happened to the former Prime Minister Liu, but what Zhu Huai knew now was that the former Prime Minister Liu had long been dead.
And now standing before him was the resurrected divine fetus, the Liu family's sacrificial deity, a powerful ghost god.
Is this what he wants me to know?
Zhu Huai pursed his lips and sat in the corner of the room, looking at the exquisite and prosperous scene in the ancestral hall, and suddenly felt extremely nauseous.
The strength of the Liu family is completely rooted in the flesh and blood of Prime Minister Liu, and all the preferential treatment enjoyed by the descendants of the Liu family is also because of this deity.
Zhu Huai suppressed this hatred in a very short time, but he still felt extremely nauseous.
"I haven't even accepted that my current fiancé is a man," Zhu Huai said, "but he's already dead."
After a pause, Zhu Huai added, "I don't know how many years he has been dead, but he looks much older than me."
Something in the air seemed to be silenced by his words.
After watching for so long, this is all you want to say?
Zhu Huai said, "This secret technique is against the will of heaven and earth and has no moral ethics. It deserves the backlash. I wonder if Prime Minister Liu will be in great pain when he experiences all this."
It must be very painful.
Zhu Huai curled up in the corner, not knowing what he was thinking. He had never thought that he would fall in love with a ghost.
We've already kissed each other, and now you say you're not actually a human?
Normally, anyone else would have been frightened and fled on the spot. At the very least, they would have been trying to get away from the other person. It took courage to be with a demon.
Zhu Huai was not worried about this. How could he, a dignified Heavenly Master, be afraid of the evil spirit from the evil ghost?
What's more, Liu Xiang doesn't look like a bad ghost. He doesn't even have any violence or blood in him.
This situation is extremely rare, otherwise it means that Liu Xiang is a natural ghost god who has never committed any murder, has pure ghost energy in his body, and is extremely powerful.
Otherwise... it means that he has been deliberately hiding his bloodiness.
According to the records in ancient books, the gentleman-like Liu Xiang must be the former. Liu Xiang now looks so gentle and has never been unkind to Zhu Huai.
But if it is the latter, it means that Liu Xiang has been pretending in front of Zhu Huai. Hiss, that sounds scary.
Zhu Huai thought, he instinctively didn't want to believe that Liu Xiang would be the latter.
If that was really the case, it would only mean that Liu Xiang had been pretending to deceive him from the very beginning.
How could that be possible? There was nothing about him that was worth Liu Xiang's calculation.
But considering Zhu Huai Tianshi's identity, if he chose to be with Liu Xiang, it would feel like he was embezzling money.
He suddenly felt a little guilty. There was a tall willow tree in front of the ancestral hall. He pulled a willow branch and tore off the leaves from top to bottom, counting them in his mind.
Pulling off the first one, Zhu Huai said that he was a ghost, and you humans and ghosts are on different paths and cannot be together.
Pulling off the second one, Zhu Huai refuted himself, saying that this was feudal and backward.
What era is it now? Not to mention being with ghosts, some people are even willing to marry telephone poles. As long as Liu Xiang doesn't harm anyone, who can care what they think?
Pulling off the third one, Zhu Huai thought, ghosts will eventually enter the ghost cave and cannot stay in the human world. If this goes on for a long time, the ghost energy on Liu Xiang may invade others, and Zhu Huai, who is closest to him, may also be affected. There is a price to pay for getting along with ghosts.
Pulling off the fourth one, Zhu Huai thought, he is the most talented Heavenly Master, can't he find a way to avoid this?
It is not Liu Xiang's problem that he was tortured by his parents and was born as a ghost. As partners, they should help each other and tolerate each other's shortcomings.
After pulling off the fifth one, Zhu Huai suddenly came to his senses. They were not real partners yet, so why did he treat Liu Xiang as his real husband now? Was this right?
The innocent willow leaves were dazzled by Zhu Huai's brilliance, and they fluttered down one by one. In the silent ancestral hall, there was only Zhu Huai's back with his head down, plucking willow leaves.
When he pulled out the last one, he found that there was an odd number of willow leaves. Why was his luck so bad? These willow leaves were targeting him.
Zhu Huai stared at the last leaf for a while, then broke off the last piece with an expressionless face.
He threw the piece of thing behind him, as if the leaf had never appeared.
He stood up, and this time, Zhu Huai finally realized what he felt in his heart.
He likes Liu Xiang.
If he liked someone, he liked them. What did it matter if they were human or ghost? Besides, Liu Xiang had never harmed him.
Since life is short, why should we constrain ourselves with restrictions that are not worth mentioning?
Zhu Huai has always been a man of decisive action, never hesitating or wavering. His personality made him make a quick decision after he knew his feelings.
The next morning, Zhu Huai was picked up from the bed by the housekeeper in a daze. He looked even weaker.
The face under the black hair was as delicate as porcelain, and when the light shone through it, one could almost see the bloodshot reflected on the thin skin.
Zhu Huai lay weakly in the butler's arms, his eyes opened hazily, his black pupils still a little confused.
He kept coughing, feeling a little strangely weak, but after the butler tied Liu Xiang's token on his body, the feeling of weakness slowly faded away.
Zhu Huai couldn't quite remember what had just happened. He asked, "Is it already the second day?"
Zhu Huai looked at the sky outside the window. For some reason, the weather had been gloomy for the past two days. The gray-black sky was dark for a long time, and black air like mist rolled in, completely engulfing the world outside the city.
Zhu Huai looked at this scene, a trace of deep thought flashed across his eyes. At this moment, the housekeeper pinched his face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhu Huai didn't feel anything was wrong with such an intimate gesture. He said, "I'm thinking about what gift to give to Prime Minister Liu."
He frowned, looking a little distressed. The butler said, "He will be happy with whatever you give him. After all, he likes you so much."
"You're right." Zhu Huai got up from the bed and folded the quilt casually.
He wanted to ask Lao Mo and Zhu Zhe to get up and eat, but they had already gone to work and school. Zhu Huai suddenly felt that he seemed to be too lazy in the past two days. Why did he always stay in bed?
He was happily brought to the Liu family by the housekeeper with his gifts. Zhu Huai saw the figure that always stood under the willow tree again, as if he could always see Prime Minister Liu here even if he came here ten thousand times.
Seeing him, the man with long red hair began to laugh, but this time Liu Xiang's laugh was somewhat indescribably strange.
He looked at Zhu Huai as if he was staring at the prey that had come to his doorstep.
Zhu Huai walked up to him and he coughed lightly. It was his first time giving someone a gift. Zhu Huai suddenly felt a little nervous and asked, "Do you still remember me?"
"Yeah." For some reason, Liu Xiang's voice sounded a little low, like the deep echo of a cello.
His beautiful blood-red eyes only reflected Zhu Huai's appearance, and he looked at him greedily: "I remember you, Zhu Huai."
"Is that thing you're hiding behind you a gift for me?" Liu Xiang said, "A world map, a globe, and a big bunch of roses. They're very nice."
All the preparations Zhu Huai had made were suddenly exposed so directly. His face flushed and he looked at the person in front of him with gritted teeth.
Liu Xiang said, completely unaware, "No one has ever dared to pursue me. I don't care how expensive the gift is, but I like it as long as it's from you. If you are pursuing me, then I can accept your courtship."
He lifted his eyelids, and a blood-red light, like a drop of dangerous blood, flowed quietly in those beautiful phoenix eyes. He said, "If you really want to give me my favorite thing, why not give me your heart, Zhu Huai."
Zhu Huai: “…”
Zhu Huai: "I'm now certain that you've never been in love."
"Okay." Liu Xiang said, "I don't know anything. Zhu Huai, what brings you here today?"
Zhu Huai had the urge to turn around and leave. This bastard is so annoying!
Liu Xiang pinched his face, held him in his arms and gently soothed him. The man's deep laughter echoed in his ears, with a bewitching hoarseness. Zhu Huai gradually lost his temper. What could he do with Liu Xiang?
Liu Xiang is just an evil ghost who has been dead for who knows how many years and has never left the Liu family.
What else can Zhu Huai do besides forgiving him?
He stuffed all the gifts into Liu Xiang's arms and was about to stand up and leave, but he heard the packaging being torn open by an invisible force, and a heavy album fell out. On it was a photo album of the most beautiful scenic spots in the world.
The scenery is so beautiful that it makes people's eyes bright. The beautiful globe floats in the air. When it is turned on, it will make a soft buzzing sound and rotate on its own with a clear and pleasant sound.
The roses bloomed along with the bloodshot in Liu Xiang's eyes, like the best foil for his red hair.
As the album was turned page by page, the text revealed on the top was the notes left by Zhu Huai.
He also wanted to travel around the world and visit the most beautiful scenery in the world, and collected a lot of information for this purpose.
But this time, he came with this notebook, with one purpose in mind, which was to take Liu Xiang with him to see it.
Would Liu Xiang be willing to go?
Liu Xiang slowly turned a page and said, "I have never been to these places."
His voice was calm, but Zhu Huai had to turn around. He was no longer angry and stared at the evil ghost in front of him in a daze.
After a moment, Zhu Huai said with a smile: "It's never too late to travel, Prime Minister Liu, as long as you want, we can go together."
His beautiful black eyes seemed to be glowing, making Liu Xiang unable to look away. Liu Xiang's breathing almost stopped. He wondered why there were such people in the world.
Liu Xiang said: "I can't leave the Liu family, Zhu Huai, if you want to leave alone, then I will not agree."
He closed the album and put it aside. His blood-red eyes fell on Zhu Huai. Liu Xiang held Zhu Huai tightly in his arms, as if he was holding the only most perfect treasure in the world.
His blood-red robe completely wrapped around Zhu Huai, and Liu Xiang said, "You can't leave me..."
As he was speaking, Liu Xiang suddenly coughed lightly, and a trace of blood flowed out of his mouth. Zhu Huai didn't know what had happened, but he saw something different.
There seemed to be something extra on Liu Xiang's arm, which was covered by his robe. Zhu Huai hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to lift the piece of clothing. Liu Xiang stopped Zhu Huai faster than him and said to him, "Zhu Huai, don't look."
Zhu Huai turned his head and saw a little blood spilling from Liu Xiang's mouth. He took a deep breath and his expression became particularly firm.
He said, "Why can't you leave here? Is there someone here who has trapped you, or have they done something to you?"
He lowered his head, pulled up the wide robe, and saw the bloodstains appearing on the fair skin.
Those lines seemed to have grown out of Liu Xiang's body, and were like hideous lines carved out on his flesh and blood.
Liu Xiang slowly covered the lines again. Zhu Huai's voice was already unsteady as he asked, "What's going on?"
Liu Xiang remained silent. Zhu Huai said, "You have been hiding this from me. Did those people do something to you?"
He couldn't imagine that while he was enjoying the happiness of this period and enjoying such a life unscrupulously, Liu Xiang was suffering without his knowledge.
Liu Xiang lowered his eyes and looked at him. Zhu Huai got angry when he saw that he was unwilling to be honest.
Zhu Huai said, "You deceitful devil, I already know you are an old antique who has been dead for who knows how many years. I tell you, if you don't speak, I will no longer be friends with you."
Zhu Huai said: "I am serious!"
Old antique Liu Xiang: "..."
Looking at Zhu Huai's expression, which looked like he was about to explode with anger, Liu Xiang's eyes flickered.
He said, "You already know this, but you're not afraid of me, aren't you worried that I might swallow you whole?"
He didn't look like he was joking. Zhu Huai was too lazy to talk to him any more. The fact that he came to the Liu family today was the best answer.
Liu Xiang was pleased and said, "You got this by yourself."
"My body is trapped in the center of the Liu family's magic circle. I can't get close to it. If I don't get my heart back, then I can't leave the Liu family."
Liu Xiang said casually: "For so many years, they have used this method to trap me here."
"My heart is the center of the magic circle. If someone steals it, the Liu family's roots will be cut off."
Liu Xiang said: "No one else can get close to my heart. In this world, there is only one person who can get close to that place, and that is you."
Zhu Huai said, "So, I am the only one who can retrieve your heart?"
He was a little confused about what the original body Liu Xiang was talking about. Are the heart and the original body the same thing?
Liu Xiang nodded slightly and said, "They are worried that I will start the massacre a hundred years ago again.
So every other day, the formation on my heart will attack, causing me to lose my memory and stay here."
Liu Xiang looked at Zhu Huai. His eyes were a little cold, but when his gaze fell on Zhu Huai, he showed a hint of tenderness: "But no matter how many times I lose my memory, as long as I see you, I will fall in love with you again."
Zhu Huai was almost drowned by his love talk without asking for money. His earlobes were slightly red. He said to Liu Xiang, "So now I am the only one who can take out your heart and then take you away?"
Liu Xiang coughed lightly a few times to indicate that it was so.
Zhu Huai was a little confused. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the current situation was a little strange...
Is Liu Xiang really a poor little guy who is at the mercy of others and unable to resist?
It’s not that Zhu Huai doesn’t trust Prime Minister Liu, but this sounds like a fantasy.
Prime Minister Liu, who is trapped and powerless by the Liu family?
Does this really fit his personality?
Zhu Huai tried hard and with difficulty to convince himself.
Perhaps it was because his body was really trapped, perhaps it was because they had been targeting Liu Xiang since he was a child, or perhaps it was because those people had poisoned Liu Xiang when he was still young and cast a curse on him.
Yes, that must be the case.
Looking at the huge monster in front of him, which was more than two meters tall, had red hair and a dangerous and terrifying aura, Zhu Huai finally convinced himself.
The expression on his face was so colorful that Liu Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, he coughed lightly and blood flowed from his lips: "You are the only one who can help me now."
The painting beside him flew up, revealing a page in front of Zhu Huai. Liu Xiang said, "I want you to take me to see these scenery."
Just these words completely stabilized Zhu Huai's originally wavering thoughts. He said, "How can I take your heart away?"
"All you need to do is enter the ancestral hall of my ancestral home and get close to my true form." Liu Xiang said slowly, "You are the only one in this world who can do this."
His voice was pleasant, and the tone of his voice, which was slightly seductive, was like honey. He said to Zhu Huai, "I'm waiting for you to save me."
