Chapter 66: Villain (Part 2) How could he complain to Shang Lu? ...
(Sixty-six)
"Are you awake?"
Qian Xu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the smiling woman in front of him.
Li Shanglu, a woman with a cold heart and selfishness like a demon cultivator.
The first time I heard this name was from the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord said that he had found Shen Changyi's wife, and that Shen Changyi's wife was a short-sighted, bad-tempered mortal with no talent. Rumor had it that they were married according to a childhood engagement, and that they slept in the same bed but had different dreams and were not in harmony. The wife even despised and hated Shen Changyi to the extreme.
A country girl from the mountains, who had never seen the world, was easily tempted by the mere offer of money, and she accepted the medicine package and agreed to poison Shen Changyi.
Qianxu has always been cautious and always felt that Shen Changyi would not be killed so easily, so he quietly cast a spell on the medicine bag sent by the Demon Lord.
In this way, even if Li Shanglu suddenly relented and changed his mind, it would be useless. Even if Shen Changyi didn't die, if he wanted to kill or hate someone, he would only hate Li Shanglu and the Demon Lord.
Qianxu can hide behind the dark scenes, watch them fight each other, and reap the benefits.
I guess that's when everything started to go wrong.
Li Shanglu broke free from his spell, and she suddenly became like a different person, no longer hating her husband.
The idiot Demon Lord didn't have any effect at all. He even developed mortal emotions and desires towards Li Shanglu. In order to help Li Shanglu break the curse, he died at the hands of Shen Changyi.
His plan was originally perfect and there would be no mistakes, but too many problems arose with Li Shanglu, as if God was helping her.
Yes, it was God who had been helping her, not that he had lost to such a country girl.
Qian Xu stared at Li Shanglu's face, wanting to use his magic power to break her neck, but found that Li Shanglu's figure was transparent and blurry, and his magic power could not touch her at all.
This is……
He finally came to his senses and looked at the nothingness around him.
This is a fantasy!
Qian Xu finally remembered at this moment that the woman gave the puppet an order, and together with Shen Changyi, destroyed his physical body. When he wanted to escape with his residual soul, he was suddenly sucked away by a formation.
This formation is an ancient formation, who is it?
"It's me."
Li Shanglu suddenly spoke, his dark eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts.
"This spell was obtained by Shen Changyi from Lord Duheng, who in turn inherited it from Zhu Xuan."
She introduced herself to him with great interest, walking in the void with ease, and no matter how Qian Xu swung his sword, he could not touch her.
“Guess how I learned that?”
Li Shanglu suddenly stopped and stood in front of him.
"Thanks to your illusion."
In the illusion, she and Shen Changyi searched through all the ancient books sent by Du Heng and found this ancient formation created by Zhu Xuan himself.
Thousands of years ago, Zhu Xuan and Qian Xu had never met, allowing Qian Xu to escape by luck. However, thousands of years later, this ancient formation was still used on Qian Xu.
Li Shanglu's smile didn't reach his eyes, and he said calmly, "I can also be merciful and tell you the way out of this formation."
Qianxu's expression changed slightly and he looked at her coldly.
"The way out is..." Li Shanglu whispered, "You can survive Shen Changyi's hands."
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding nothingness dissipated in an instant.
The scene in front of me gradually turned into Fangcao City.
Qian Xu's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, the door of the Li family opened, and Li Hanye walked out with a knife in his hand.
It turned out that he wanted to avenge his father in the illusion. Mortals are mortals and have short-sightedness.
He sneered in his heart and was about to use his magic energy to break Li Hanye's bones, but suddenly found that he had lost all his magic energy.
Qian Xu looked at his hands in astonishment. He had turned back to the way he was thousands of years ago when he was still a mortal!
His life was too long, so long that he had long forgotten that he was once just an ordinary person.
Li Hanye's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed the knife and stabbed it into his body.
Qian Xu screamed in pain, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Immediately afterwards, more people came from the streets and alleys. All of them were mortals and monks who had been killed by him.
Countless knife tips pierced his body. No one spoke, only pairs of eyes filled with hatred.
Qian Xu watched his flesh and blood fly everywhere. He stretched out his hand in horror to escape, but was dragged back to the Lingchi torture until he died.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was reborn again.
Qian Xu curled up and hugged his head tightly. He didn't know why he lost his magic power.
After turning back into a mortal, he once again possessed the seven emotions and six desires of a mortal, and was even more afraid of death than when he fell into demonism.
For a long time, there was no sound around.
He raised his head tentatively, and this time the scene changed again. It was no longer Fangcao City, and the group of evil-like mortals disappeared.
Qian Xu just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly realized that this was Taiyin Mountain.
Not far in front of him, Shen Changyi was walking towards him slowly, sword in hand.
The tip of the sword dragged on the ground, making a chilling golden sound. The snow-white Taoist robe was stained with blood, and his face seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Qian Xu instinctively retreated in fear. He knew what Li Shanglu was going to do. This vengeful, vicious woman wanted to keep him trapped in this illusion forever, constantly being killed! Just like he had trapped Li Shanglu in the illusion back then.
"Don't you really want to find Zhou Xuan?" Li Shanglu sat on the rocks, looking at him indifferently. "Then in this illusion... forever feel how he crushes every inch of your bones."
Qianxu grabbed stones and flying sand from the ground and threw them at the person in front of him, trying desperately to stop Shen Changyi, but it was useless.
No matter how he cursed or begged for mercy, Shen Changyi turned a deaf ear to him.
Li Shanglu took one last look at him and stood up calmly.
In this illusion, Qianxu will have countless ways to escape from Shen Changyi, but without exception, he will be killed by Shen Changyi in the end, resurrected, and die, and so on.
The time in the illusion is much slower than the time outside. He will have longer years to savor the pain he brought to Li Shanglu. Until the end, rather than surviving from Shen Changyi, Qian Xu will desire to die forever and never open his eyes again.
After emerging from the illusion, Li Shanglu stared at the formation he had drawn. The breath of the residual soul trapped at the center of the formation became weaker and weaker.
She wanted to watch Qian Xu slowly die of his soul here.
Shen Changyi sat quietly beside her, his eyelashes drooping, and remained silent.
Until the sky gradually darkened, the remnant soul in the center of the formation finally dissipated completely.
A demon cultivator who has lived for thousands of years is no more than this after turning back into a mortal.
Li Shanglu is no worse than anyone else, it's just that God didn't give her a strong talent at the beginning. If everyone was a mortal, perhaps no one would dare to look down on her.
The remaining soul dissipated, the previous revenge was achieved, and there was no more Qianxu in the world.
The galaxy stretches across the sky, the Milky Way is brilliant, and the night sky is like a curtain soaked in ink, quietly accommodating everything.
Li Shanglu leaned tiredly on Shen Changyi's shoulder and said softly, "It's finally over."
Shen Changyi looked at her with dark eyes and whispered, "Shang Lu, in that illusion you entered, did you see..."
He thought that Shang Lu would know what happened that night, the only possibility was that she experienced everything clearly in the illusion.
"Can I rest for a while?" Li Shanglu closed his eyes and felt the familiar breath on him.
Hearing this, Chen Changyi pursed his lips and curled up his fingers hidden in his sleeves little by little.
actually……
He also has selfish motives.
He was always afraid that Shang Lu would hate him even more after learning about that incident.
But Li Shanglu had already fallen asleep on his shoulder, and Shen Changyi could not guess what was in her mind.
He reached out and hugged her lightly.
Hold him for a while longer. Maybe when Shanglu wakes up, you won’t be able to hold him anymore.
His eyes gradually turned red, and Shen Changyi sat silently beside her, but his heart was hanging high, like a death row prisoner waiting for execution.
A figure walked towards them, and he immediately looked up, gripping the sword at his side.
Xiao Huang frowned at them, took off his coat, and leaned over to put it on Li Shanglu.
Shen Changyi's eyes turned colder, he pulled the coat off Li Shanglu's shoulders and threw it far away.
"She'll be cold."
Xiao Huang stared at him with a bit of resentment, "You can't take care of her at all."
Shen Changyi felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again. He said nothing, but just withdrew his gaze coldly and hugged Li Shanglu tighter.
This way you won’t be cold and you won’t need that tattered piece of clothing.
"If Shang Lu hadn't suddenly told me not to take action today, you would have been the one to die." Xiao Huang looked down at Shen Changyi from above, "Shang Lu wouldn't like you."
He knew very well which words would make Shen Changyi uncomfortable, because he was originally a wisp of Shen Changyi's soul, and he knew clearly the inferiority and fear in Shen Changyi's heart, which were like inner demons.
"If you could have returned home earlier, your uncle and aunt would have survived, as would your parents."
"It's all your fault, Shen Changyi. You're so incompetent."
"From now on, I will replace you in protecting Shanglu. I will never leave her side and take good care of her and the child."
Shen Changyi finally couldn't help but look up at him. That face that looked exactly like his was really hateful.
No wonder Shang Lu hates him, even he hates himself.
If Shang Lu had not still been leaning on him to rest, he would have definitely taken this soul back into his body.
"Not talking?"
"Yeah, what Shang Lu hates most is the way you don't talk. You're rigid, boring, and awfully dull."
He also said!
Shen Changyi's eyes became even redder, and he looked down at Shang Lu, hoping that she would open her eyes and defend herself.
Well, we can't rely on Smilax glabra for everything.
He took a deep breath and said, "I talk a lot now, and I can make Phoenix laugh occasionally. Little Persimmon and Little Orange like me very much, and so does Phoenix."
"Really? When did Shang Lu ever say he liked you? You're just imagining it, right?"
"Even if Shanglu doesn't like me, you can't replace me, because you are just a piece of wood in Shanglu's heart."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huang's face changed. He was annoyed and wanted to attack him again, but he saw Shen Changyi raised his hand in frustration.
He thought Shen Changyi was going to attack him, so he quickly drew his sword, but saw that the other party covered his ears with his hands.
“…”
Xiao Huang frowned and simply stepped forward to pull his hand away, angrily scolding, "There's no point in running away. Is this how you deal with criticism? You've completely forgotten everything our parents taught you. How can you face them again?"
Shen Changyi opened his mouth and was about to say something when the person in his arms suddenly opened his eyes.
"What are you arguing about?"
The voice was deep, with a hint of anger from being disturbed.
"Shanglu, you're awake..."
Xiao Huang's eyes lit up, but before he could finish, he heard Shen Changyi say softly with grievance,
"Shanglu, Xiao Huang has been scolding me."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu frowned and looked up at Xiao Huang, who looked stunned. "Did you scold him?"
Xiao Huang opened his eyes wide in disbelief and was speechless.
Just now, Shen Changyi was clearly not like that...and how could he complain to Shang Lu?
