Chapter 78



Yue Liangze asked her, "What are you doing here?"

"I can't sleep." Lingluo pursed her lips and said, "I want to see you."

Yue Liangze paused while wiping her face and looked down at her: "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I just wanted to see you." Lingluo repeated, "Because I couldn't sleep."

She seemed to have no ill intentions and no distracting thoughts.

Yue Liangze was embarrassed by what she said, and he was the one who had distracting thoughts in his mind. Therefore, he could not bear the gaze of those eyes and lowered his head slightly.

He said: "Not being able to sleep is not an excuse. You can do many things. Why do you have to come and see me?"

Ling Luo's eyes widened slightly at his question, with a bit of curiosity and arrogance: "Why can't I come to see you? Are you married or engaged?"

Yue Liangze: “…”

OK, that makes some sense.

He didn't say anything, but Lingluo pressed on, "Or is he secretly getting married to another woman or does he have someone in his heart?"

Yue Liangze said calmly, "None at all."

Ling Luo said "oh" and asked, "No one you love either?"

Yue Liangze: “No.”

Lingluo looked at him and said nothing.

If it happens again, will Yue Liangze still like her?

The past can be changed.

For example, Chu Yi.

She cut off the connection between Chu Yi and Jiang Miao, and severed their fate. Now her senior brother is still staying in Tianji and has not gone to Beiting Moon Palace.

Chu Yi is no longer obsessed with Tian Shangyue, and Yue Liangze can no longer like her who is possessed by the devil.

Then he would not be driven out of the Holy Sword Sect and unable to return, nor would he have to die defending Mount Amaterasu fighting the four forbidden beasts.

It looked like she had killed Yue Liangze.

In the end it was still her fault?

Lingluo frowned, feeling aggrieved for a moment.

She looked at Yue Liangze and said seriously, "If you don't allow me to come to see you, I will -"

"No problem." Yue Liangze interrupted her, "You can come see me anytime you want."

He found a dry towel to wipe her hair.

Lingluo sat on the edge of the bed, resting her chin on the windowsill, watching the night rain outside. The sound of the rain was so loud that she raised her hand and drew a circle of sound barrier in front of the window.

Yue Liangze stood beside her and helped her wipe her hair.

Lingluo asked after a long time: "What did you write in those fourteen letters?"

Yue Liangze said calmly: "Some words of holiday happiness and well-being."

"Really?" Ling Luo tilted her head to look at him, eyes full of suspicion, "You even sent Song Yuanyuan and her family a teacup when they were short of money, but you only wrote to me "Happy Holidays"?"

"I sent it to you as well," Yue Liangze said, "the cakes you wanted to eat, and some small items suitable for girls to wear that you might like."

The more I talk, the more complicated my feelings become.

Thinking that all those letters were read by Yun Shouxi and he knew what he wrote, Yue Liangze suddenly felt a stomachache.

Lingluo looked back at the night rain outside the window and thought to herself that she had to find a way to get these back.

However, given Yun Shouxi's personality, he probably won't keep it.

Anyway, I'll look for it when I get back.

It was raining at night and the use of spells was prohibited, so Yue Liangze patiently wiped her hair.

Lingluo vaguely remembered the night rain on Mt. Amaterasu.

The rain that day was much lighter than today. She sat against the window railing and watched the man busy moving flowers and tidying up things in the courtyard in the light of the lamp.

Although it was raining, he remained calm. He figured out which items should not be exposed to the rain and put them away, without using any spells or other methods for help.

Lingluo asked him: "Why don't you use the spell to collect it faster?"

Yue Liangze said: "It would be boring to rely on spells and laws for everything."

Ling Luo looked at his half-finished yard again and couldn't help laughing: "You really treat this as your own home. You are not polite at all when decorating it."

"There are enough materials in Amaterasu Mountain. I can buy whatever is missing." Yue Liangze said, and added, "I will buy it with my own money."

Ling Luo snorted, "You talk as if I have no money. If you go out and tell me my name, who would dare to take a single cent from you?"

Yue Liangze glanced at her and said, "You really didn't."

"..." Lingluo gritted her teeth, "Where did you get the money?"

"I saved it over the years." Yue Liangze said, "I used to help some wealthy families get rid of demons, and they gave me a lot of things. I have two senior brothers who have been away from the sect for a long time and have too much money to spend, so they gave it to me."

Ling Luo: “…”

Why don’t my fellow brothers have this awareness?

Yue Liangze added: "I have a nephew who has only done one thing in his life: making money. He has opened many shops, and I help him deal with troublemakers, and he pays me."

Lingluo said: "Isn't it just money? How difficult is that? If you don't have enough, I'll go now..."

Yue Liangze: "That's enough. Just tell me what you want to buy and I'll buy it for you."

"I don't lack anything." Ling Luo propped up her chin with one hand and looked at him sideways. "But you've stayed here too long. You must have forgotten that you are a cultivator from the immortal sect who came here to exorcise demons. Not only have you been tinkering with house construction all day, but I haven't really been watching you. It's easy for you to leave, but you insist on staying here."

Yue Liangze had just opened his umbrella. He turned around and looked at her. Raindrops streaked across his thin chin. He said, "Lingluo, have you ever thought about why I didn't leave?"

Ling Luo deliberately mocked, "Is it possible that Master Danshui is coveting my beauty and doesn't want to leave?"

Yue Liangze was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed, a little dotingly, and shook his head slightly.

"You've already abandoned me once in Nanjiang City. I don't want to be abandoned by you a second time." He put down the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to shield the flowers from the rain, exposing himself to the cold rain curtain, and said calmly, "No matter how you drive me away, I will not leave."

Ling Luo said disdainfully: "If you don't leave, are you crazy?"

Yue Liangze glanced at her, with a look of contempt and dominance, which was different from his usual calm appearance, which made Ling Luo stunned.

"I don't want you to be alone." He said, "Just think that I am the only one who can accompany you from now on."

Yue Liangze looked into her eyes and said silently: No one except me.

Ling Luo didn't take it seriously at the time, and even listened carelessly. Her focus was on the fighting and killing, but Yue Liangze's words were unconsciously remembered in her heart. Even now, she can still clearly remember every scene at that time.

Looking back now, she gave Yue Liangze too little time.

I just accustomed to his existence without thinking deeply about it.

I won’t even think about love.

Despite this, Yue Liangze is also a special existence in her world.

Even through the sound barrier, she could hear the sound of rain, pattering on the tiles of the house or the shed. Yue Liangze helped her dry her hair and asked, "Are you cold?"

Lingluo shook her head.

"Are you hungry?" Yue Liangze asked, "Before you said that I didn't make you brown sugar cakes so you were unhappy--"

"That's just nonsense." Lingluo looked out the window and blinked, "I'm not hungry either, but I can eat it if you want."

Yue Liangze was silent for a moment, then he stood up from the window and said, "Then I'll do it."

Lingluo couldn't help but tilt her head to look at him.

She said, "It's raining heavily and it's the middle of the night."

Yue Liangze opened the door: "It's okay."

Lingluo was slightly startled as she watched him walk out the door.

Now that she thought about it seriously, she felt that Yue Liangze was very indulgent towards her.

Give me what you want.

Yue Liangze's house faces the kitchen. Lingluo was lying by the window. Through the rain, she saw the lights on in the kitchen and a figure reflected on the window.

She removed the sound barrier and her ears were filled with the crackling sound of heavy rain.

Because of Yun Shouxi and other reasons, Lingluo feels that love is the most useless and unnecessary thing.

The eldest brother gave up his dignity and pride for love and allowed himself to be trampled upon.

The master would do anything for love and turned from a banished immortal into a devil.

Jinyuan murdered Yuzhi because she loved Senior Brother Chen.

A Niang's entire family was wiped out because of a man.

Even Yue Liangze died because of the one he loved.

Lingluo frowned.

The people around her have always influenced her prejudice and cognition towards love.

Therefore, after she killed Yun Shouxi, her focus has always been on revenge, and her murderous intent is skyrocketing. The motivation for Ling Luo to open her eyes every day is to kill the people she hates.

After becoming a demon, she only wanted to fight against the Heavenly Dao and had no time to think about love or not.

This made no sense to her at the time.

Ling Luo is on the road to self-destruction. No one can stop her, and she doesn't want to stop.

Yue Liangze knew this very well and tried to keep her, but Lingluo didn't give him a chance, so he could only accompany Lingluo and not let her go down this path alone.

Now Lingluo is willing to stop and wait for him, giving Yue Liangze more time.

She found out too late, and the time they spent together was too short.

But the resentment cannot be quelled.

Lingluo lowered her eyes, her pupils dim.

The lights and human figures in the night rain appear particularly warm.

Ling Luo recalled how she had mercilessly mocked Yue Liangze for losing to Cong Xiu, forced him to eat baked buns, used him to practice her widow's peak, injured him, said she would use him to lure the monster, and mocked the Holy Sword Sect for not saving him - now all of these were unbearable memories, and she felt inexplicably ashamed, and she couldn't help but hold her forehead and close her eyes.

The night wind blew the rain into the window. The raindrops fell lightly on Lingluo's face, feeling icy cold. Her previously dried hair became wet again.

Lingluo, however, faced the night wind without dodging or avoiding it, and looked seriously at the figure under the light opposite.

After a long while, she whispered, "I'm sorry."

If you still like me again——

Then teach me, teach me how to like someone correctly.

The rain was so heavy that it drowned out her voice.

In the kitchen opposite, the dough had been baked until golden brown. Yue Liangze cut a piece for her and took the plate back.

When he got to the corridor, he saw wet bellflowers on the window. Yue Liangze was speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Why didn't you close the window to let the wind and rain in?"

"I don't want to turn it off." Ling Luo blinked at him, "Sword cultivators have the strongest physique, so a little rain is nothing."

Seeing that she didn't turn it off, Yue Liangze stood outside the window to block the rain and handed the plate over.

Lingluo put the plate on the window and felt a little hungry when she smelled the sweet and warm aroma.

She munched on a brown sugar cake while chatting with Yue Liangze.

The two talked to each other about what they had encountered during their years of separation.

One tells of strange and bizarre things happening in seldom-used places, and the other tells of beautiful and strange things happening in a bustling capital city.

The sound of rain gradually died down and became a drizzle, but the two people by the window were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice the change.

Lingluo bit the last piece of brown sugar cake and asked, "Do you want to eat it? If not, I'll have finished it."

Yue Liangze, who was sitting by the window, tilted his head and looked at her: "You've already bitten it."

Lingluo: "I only took a small bite. If you want to eat it, I'll give you a big piece."

She started to tear open the remaining brown sugar cake, but Yue Liangze stopped her: "I don't want to eat it."

Ling Luo smiled at him, her eyes turned up, and she said in a soft voice, "You made the cake. I just took a bite, just a small bite. You looked at the cake several times. If you want to eat it, just say you want to eat it."

Yue Liangze listened and turned to look at her.

Lingluo ate the cake with a humming sound and met his gaze with an innocent look, silently indicating that she had already asked him if he wanted to eat it.

Yue Liangze watched her finish eating, a smile flashing across his eyes.

Lingluo said: "You kept looking at me, I thought you were going to rob me."

Yue Liangze lowered his eyes and turned away.

He wanted to rob it.

Just now, I wanted to lean over and grab the last bite from her lips.
