Chapter 25



Water torture was repeated over and over again.

Ling Luo was pulled out of the mud by the God-Scroll Lock, and she couldn't help spitting out blood when she broke through the water.

Even though he was already seriously injured, he still used forbidden techniques to drive the Holy Spirit Bird to fly so far to curse Rong Xian, which aggravated his internal injuries.

Although the foul smell of the mud was gone, there were still some stains on his body, and his hair was tangled in wisps from coming out of the mud.

Lingluo was furious after seeing this, and her anger for cleanliness even overwhelmed the physical pain.

She looked down at the swaying water, reflecting her current appearance.

His hair was disheveled, his body was soaked, and his face was as pale as snow. He looked like a drowned ghost.

Lingluo was so angry that she howled and cursed in her heart, then sank back into the water to clean herself up.

hateful!

The blood fell for only a moment before being absorbed by the surrounding lotus flowers.

Just as Lingluo washed herself and resurfaced, she heard footsteps.

She looked intently and sideways. Before she saw the person, she thought that the person would most likely be her good master Yun Shouxi, but she never expected that the person would be her good senior brother from the outer sect.

Yue Liangze was not wearing the outer sect disciple uniform, but a dark blue casual outfit. He was holding a small food box in his hand. He walked lightly, trying to keep his voice as low as possible, but he was still noticed by Ling Luo.

He came out of the dimly lit corridor and saw the cold pond, which was bright because of the starlight falling from the cave ceiling. A girl, who was soaking wet and locked with white iron chains, was looking up at him from among the water lilies in the cold pond.

As the two looked at each other, Lingluo even suspected that the person in front of her was an illusion.

Before Yue Liangze came, he could not imagine how miserable Lingluo was. After seeing it with his own eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

He stopped at the shore of the cold pond, his dark eyes staring quietly at the girl in the pond.

Lingluo sank into the water, hiding herself under the lotus leaves on the water surface, swam quietly to the shore, and poked her head out from a clump of water lilies. Her little face was covered with water marks, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were half-closed as she looked at the boy on the shore with a bit of vigilance.

"What are you doing here?" she asked suspiciously.

hateful!

Could this guy be taking this opportunity to make fun of her?

"I made chestnut roast chicken tonight, but they said you were locked up in the Black Water Cave and couldn't come, so we had to bring it to you." Yue Liangze said as he opened the food box, and the sweet aroma of chestnuts filled the air.

When Lingluo smelled the fragrance, her stomach growled.

Her long hair was floating in the water, black, long, shiny and smooth, making people want to touch it.

Yue Liangze glanced and lowered his eyes.

"How did you get in?" Ling Luo was still suspicious. "There are people from the Discipline Hall at the entrance of the cave. Their cultivation is much higher than yours."

"There is a cave in the valley that is connected to the Black Water Cave." Yue Liangze said, "The people in the Discipline Hall don't know."

Ling Luo: “…”

Her eyes widened: "Then why do you know?!"

"Qingshun said so." Yue Liangze helped her take out the plates from the lunch box and placed them on the shore, his tone calm.

He had no respect for this earth-shattering secret and spoke out in a casual manner as if he was talking about the price of cabbage per pound today.

"From the outside of the Saha Realm, you can directly reach the corner corridor of the Black Water Cave." Yue Liangze guessed what Lingluo was going to ask next, so he simply said it in advance, "He was also imprisoned here before. As for how he knew about the cave, it was his master, the Second Sect Leader, who told him."

Lingluo was speechless after hearing this.

After a long while, she snorted and asked, "Then why did Qingshun tell you again?"

Yue Liangze: "I didn't ask, I just listened to what he wanted to say."

After hearing this, Lingluo no longer had the energy to be angry with him.

Seeing that Yue Liangze really came to deliver food and not to laugh at her, Lingluo reluctantly got up from the water, walked to the shore and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat.

Yue Liangze even poured her some soup and was now peeling sugar-roasted chestnuts for her.

Lingluo ate very slowly. She had just been tortured and had little strength. Her hand holding the chopsticks was still shaking, which made her angry. After taking a bite, she put down her chopsticks and plopped back into the water.

Yue Liangze: “…”

He stared blankly at the rippling water, not knowing what it meant.

What's going on?

Not tasty?

Or was he pulled down by the divine lock?

Yue Liangze frowned.

After a while, Lingluo emerged from the water again, her little face was pale, and tiny drops of water were still hanging on her eyelashes, dripping when she blinked.

Yue Liangze asked her, "What's wrong?"

Lingluo returned to the shore angrily and said, "It's spicy."

Yue Liangze: "...No chili pepper was added."

"If I say it's spicy, it's spicy!" Lingluo bit the piece of meat on the chopsticks and glared at him.

Little did she know that she was injured and fragile at this moment, and that such a threatening look would only make her look delicate and cute, without any frightening aura.

Yue Liangze remained silent after listening and continued to peel his candied chestnuts.

After he stopped making any sound, he became aware of the subtle sound of chopsticks hitting the plate and discovered that it was Lingluo's hands that were shaking.

Yue Liangze didn't care at first.

He knew Lingluo's temper, and she would be even more annoyed if he controlled her. Normally, she would act aggressively towards him, and the last thing she wanted and was most unhappy about was being at a disadvantage, let alone asking him for help.

But after taking a few bites, Lingluo felt a pain from her injury and couldn't hold the chopsticks properly to pick up the meat. She sank back into the water with a grunt in anger.

When will I be able to eat well after all this repetition?

When Lingluo came out of the water again and picked up the chopsticks again angrily, Yue Liangze couldn't bear it anymore.

He turned sideways, stretched out his hand, and easily snatched the chopsticks from her hand.

Ling Luo looked at him warily: "What are you doing?"

Are you finally unable to resist exposing your true nature and want to take advantage of me being hurt to bite me back?

Yue Liangze picked up some food for her, handed it to her and said, "You are injured, don't use force."

Lingluo hid behind a red water lily and looked at him. Seeing her alert look, Yue Liangze said, "Besides, you helped me last time and took me to the Heaven-Swallowing Tower for training today. It's my duty to take care of you."

Then you are quite smart.

Only then did Lingluo dispel her doubts, return to the shore, and open her mouth to bite the meat on the chopsticks.

The food Yue Liangze brought her were all easy to eat and had few bones.

Ling Luo puffed her cheeks and said vaguely, "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm locked up here?"

Yue Liangze: "Chang Fei said so."

"How does he know?" Lingluo frowned.

"Everyone in the Yuting disciples' hall is saying that you killed someone from the Xiaoyao Sect." Yue Liangze saw that she had almost finished eating, so he handed her a small cup of soup, "But Song Yuanyuan said it wasn't you who killed them."

Ling Luo glanced at him and said, "Do you believe it?"

Yue Liangze hummed.

Ling Luo finished her soup, licked the corner of her mouth, and sneered: "I was the one who killed him."

She was waiting to see Yue Liangze's surprised and stunned expression, but he just said "oh" and handed another piece of meat to her lips.

Ling Luo felt inexplicably frustrated. She said unhappily, "You believe it again?"

Yue Liangze: "If you say so, then so be it."

Lingluo wanted to bite him after hearing that, but in the end she only bit the meat that was brought to her mouth.

Yue Liangze doesn't care at all about who kills whom.

Ling Luo criticized him: "Your attitude is wrong. You will be the face of the immortal way in the future. You will be upright and unyielding. You will help the weak and fight against demons to defend the way."

Yue Liangze looked strange when he heard this, and looked at her silently asking, "Who are you talking about?"

"When someone's family is killed, they will come to you for justice and ask for your help in revenge...you are a bunch of trash." Ling Luo couldn't help laughing as she spoke.

Yue Liangze said, "I will bring you some medicine to calm your mind next time. You should take good rest."

Ling Luo: “…”

You need to concentrate and calm down!

"Who can have a good rest when being trapped here under water torture!" she said unhappily.

When Yue Liangze heard this, he felt relieved about her nonsense.

Lingluo ate another bite of meat, and seeing that Yue Liangze didn't say anything, she asked, "Why don't you ask me why I wanted to kill her?"

Yue Liangze: "Why?"

Ling Luo snorted, "You really think I killed him!"

Yue Liangze: “…”

Isn't that what you just said?

He was very tolerant of Lingluo's repeated changes. He had gotten used to it these days.

Ling Luo didn't want to confess in the interrogation room, nor did she want to tell Yun Shouxi, but when Yue Liangze chatted with her, she suddenly felt like pouring out her heart.

She took a peeled sugar chestnut and put it in her mouth, puffed up her cheeks, looked at Yue Liangze and said, "Because she killed my sister, I killed her."

Yue Liangze listened carefully, nodded and said, "Yes."

Ling Luo: "I killed her for a reason."

Yue Liangze poured her another cup of soup: "I understand."

"If she hadn't done those things to Yuzhi, who would be so foolish as to provoke the most precious granddaughter of the Xiaoyao Sect's great elder?" Lingluo muttered in a low voice, "I didn't even know how to use my spiritual power at that time. It was difficult to hold a sword. I had to hold it with both hands, and I couldn't swing it."

So she would never take the initiative to provoke Jinyuan.

Usually she would tolerate Jinyuan's sarcastic remarks, but occasionally he would bring her and Yuzhi into the mountain gate, wearing shabby clothes, and let the girls, who were dressed in fine silk and exquisitely dressed, look at them and giggle, whispering and laughing at them.

Lingluo also endured it.

Compared to wandering outside and almost starving to death, at least I can have something to eat in the Xiaoyao Sect.

So when Ling Luo heard Yue Liangze say that the reason he stayed in Tianji was to make a living, her heart was touched and she understood him instantly.

"She always found fault with me, but I endured it all the time, thinking that as long as my sister didn't have to suffer the cold and hunger outside, it didn't matter if people laughed at her and scolded her." Lingluo bit the candied chestnuts in her mouth, which were sweet and sticky, but could not melt the bitterness of that time. "But she took advantage of my absence and coaxed Yuzhi down the mountain in the name of looking for me."

"I can't tell you what she did, but it was like throwing a twelve-year-old girl who couldn't even speak into a pack of hungry wolves, and then standing by and clapping and laughing as Yuzhi cried and tried desperately to crawl out of the wolf's den."

"Every time she tried to climb out, Jinyuan would step on her hands and kick her back."

Ling Luo said, "That's why I killed her."

Yue Liangze had been listening attentively. He peeled the last candied chestnut for Lingluo and said, "I understand."

"So in the future you will..." Lingluo stopped talking halfway when Yue Liangze raised his head and handed her the candied chestnuts.

She looked into the boy's clear and bright eyes and saw herself.

I wanted to say, so don’t always go against me in the future.

Don't think I'm always wrong.

Don't protect the person I want to kill.

But she suddenly remembered that Yun Shouxi had said she was wrong, Yu Xiu had said it, and everyone in the world had said it, but Yue Liangze had never said it once.

"Huh?" Yue Liangze saw that she suddenly stopped talking and had no more words, and blinked in confusion.

"...Please peel chestnuts for me often in the future." Lingluo ate the last chestnut he handed her and said without much interest.

Yue Liangze nodded and put the small plates into the food box: "But you shouldn't eat too many chestnuts, you have to eat in moderation."

Ling Luo looked listless. She raised her hand to show him the divine scroll on her wrist and said, "Do you think it's bad for me to eat too much or am I dying?"

After hearing this, Yue Liangze looked a little helpless.

As soon as he closed the food box, Lingluo heard someone walking towards this side. Soon Yue Liangze also noticed it. The two looked at each other. Lingluo had a little strength after eating, so she immediately grabbed him and pulled him into the water.

With a splash, water splashed and the lotus swayed.

Yue Liangze sank into the water. Lingluo made a hushing gesture to him and then floated up again.

With a splash, Lingluo opened her eyes and saw a person in white clothes walking out from the darkness. Yun Shouxi walked over, stopped at the shore, and looked at Lingluo in the water.

"Master." Lingluo lowered her eyebrows, looking obedient.

But he cursed in his heart, "Damn it!" Yun Shouxi didn't come earlier or later, but at this time.

If he found Yue Liangze in the water, Yue Liangze would definitely be targeted by this pervert.

With Lingluo's talent and appearance, before she became a demon, there were many people who liked her, and some of them even expressed their feelings to her boldly.

There was once a courageous junior brother who had bad luck. When he confessed his love to her, Yun Shouxi happened to be there and he heard it. Although Ling Luo refused, she never saw this junior brother again after that.

By chance, she learned that this junior fellow was expelled from Tianji for violating the sect rules, and he fell ill and died a few days after he came down the mountain.

At that time she was just suspicious, but later Yun Shouxi admitted that he did it, which made Lingluo think he was crazy.

Yun Shouxi stood quietly on the shore, silently looking at Lingluo's pale face and lips. The wet hair stuck to her skin, the distinct black and white was dazzling.

"Does it hurt?" he asked, his tone gentle.

Ling Luo shook her head, "The disciple deserves to be punished."

"You were whipped by the bound spirit, and soaking in the cold pond will only make things worse." Yun Shouxi said, "Come here, I will apply medicine for you."

Lingluo hesitated and didn't go over.

She still shook her head and said, "Master, the stench of water torture mud is unbearable. I have been subjected to water torture several times and my body is already filthy. I must not let Master get stained with it."

Yue Liangze in the water vaguely heard her words.

In order to refuse Yun Shouxi's help in applying medicine, Lingluo even destroyed herself.

Yun Shouxi frowned and said, "I won't let you say that about yourself. Come here."

Ling Luo felt that Yue Liangze was pulling her hand, telling her that he could not hold it any longer. Either Yun Shouxi left, or he could not hold it any longer and ejaculated.

Seeing that she didn't move, Yun Shouxi said, "Lingluo, that whip fell on you because Master failed to protect you."

"Master..." Ling Luo took a deep breath, bit her lip and looked embarrassed, "I——"

She suddenly sank into the water.

Yun Shouxi was slightly stunned.

The moonlight and starlight from the top of the cave fell on the water, causing the waves to sway, making the green lotus leaves sway, and light fell into the water between the gaps between the lotus leaves.

Yue Liangze took her hand, and Lingluo held it in reverse and brought him towards her, while with her other hand she gently held his face and kissed him.

The bright light and shadows underwater allowed them to see each other clearly.

Underwater, everything is soft.

Yue Liangze opened his eyes slightly, his mind was confused, but Lingluo had already reached out to cover his eyes.

She was giving Yue Liangze some energy.

While cursing angrily in his heart.

How outrageous!

In order to prevent Yue Liangze from being targeted by the pervert, she actually condescended to kiss him!

It's such a shame!

He was the one who took the initiative before!

Yun Shouxi on the shore was watching the water swaying, frowning, wondering why Lingluo suddenly sank into the water.

Obviously, the God Lock has not yet taken effect.

The author has something to say: Juan Shensuo: Just stand on the shore and don't move
