Chapter 37 037 She carried all the light and stepped into her own dark...
Wei Shizhou went into seclusion.
Today it is Shi Hua and Xie An's turn to guard outside the house.
Xie An pinched the peach petals, counting them here and there, sighing for who knows how many times. He patted the petals from his palm, tilted his head and stared at Shi Hua's profile.
The sun was scorching, and the light shone lightly on her body, as if she was coated with a layer of light.
Suddenly, he felt that the person in front of him was his master.
He had doubted Jiang Qingwu's appearance three years ago, but later he learned from Shi Hua that the two had no connection, so he didn't think about it anymore.
"Awu, do you feel that you are very similar to the Immortal Master Shuyu?"
Xie An was not the only one who asked this question.
Shi Hua remained calm. "Everyone in the Xuanyin Immortal Sect has asked me about this. It's my honor to be somewhat similar to the Immortal Venerable."
No, not quite similar.
Xie An stared at her deeply. This face could exactly be regarded as the appearance of his master when he was young.
He imagined how ambitious and brilliant his master was when he was young.
Xie An scratched his head and stopped thinking about it.
After a while, someone came down the mountain and said that they wanted to discuss something important with Xie An. Xie An hesitated, and Shi Hua told him to go ahead without worry.
Shi Hua was the only one left outside the house.
Soon, there was a movement in the air.
Shi Hua keenly sensed a faint demonic aura.
No, Wei Shizhou has gone crazy!
There was no one around, and it happened that Xie An had just been called away.
Shi Hua no longer hesitated, tore open the barrier and rushed in.
Inside the house, demonic energy was spreading everywhere. The black mark on Wei Shizhou's forehead kept flashing. He looked extremely painful. He had fallen into the demon in his heart and could not wake up.
"Wei Shizhou!"
Shi Hua took a few steps forward, and the inner demon sensed someone approaching and released spiritual power to intimidate her. But who was Shi Hua? How could she be afraid of a mere inner demon?
[Immortal Lord, you can’t let anything happen to the hero! ]
There are too many plot changes. The only important thing is that nothing happens to the male protagonist. Now is not the stage where the male protagonist is possessed by a demon.
Shi Huamei's expression grew colder, and she raised her hand to consolidate the barrier outside the house.
The inner demon thought he had scared her, and laughed arrogantly, revealing a vague black shadow on Wei Shizhou.
A sneer appeared at the corner of her pink lips.
The palm suddenly hit out.
The palm containing the power of tribulation-crossing struck the inner demon mercilessly. The inner demon had barely taken shape and was no match for her. In horror, it quickly shrank back into Wei Shizhou's body.
The terrifying palm stopped in front of Wei Shizhou's face and slowly dissipated.
Shi Hua quickly supported him, "Wei Shizhou, wake up!"
Can't wake him up.
Shi Hua immediately sat down cross-legged and transferred spiritual power to him. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hands placed on his back, his soul felt a huge suction force.
As the torsion spread, the world before my eyes spun.
Shi Hua stood firm and heard shouting in his ears.
Beneath the hazy clouds, the town bustled with activity. Children crisscrossed the streets, giggling as they held pinwheels in their hands. A thin wisp of steam rose, and the aroma of cooked food from the vendors' stalls filled the air.
Warm words and gentle conversation, a homely family.
Shi Hua was rarely stunned, and a moment of confusion flashed in her eyes. The long-lost sense of familiarity sprouted from the bottom of her heart, grew, and the long vines crawled over every corner of her heart, as if... she had also lived in the bustling fishing village.
Thousands of years have passed, and she has long forgotten her past.
Shi Hua subconsciously touched his empty heart.
Her lips were slightly pursed.
Now is not the time to reminisce about this.
This should be the place where Wei Shizhou's inner demons are. She needs to find the knot in Wei Shizhou's heart here and help him to resolve it and leave.
The girl was wearing a crimson long dress and had a beautiful face. She stood on the bridge gracefully, like a fairy from heaven who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.
Passengers under the bridge looked up intently.
Shi Hua frowned and decided to leave here first before making any plans.
"ah!"
Just as she took a step, her calf was bumped by a little girl running towards her. The girl covered her forehead with her hands, tears welled up in her eyes, and her mouth was pursed as if she was about to cry. But the moment she saw Shi Mo's face clearly, she didn't cry with her slightly open mouth. Instead, she raised her sleeve to wipe it randomly, climbed up and hugged her calf.
"Sister is so beautiful!"
"Like a fairy!"
Children are young and their words are innocent, but they are also the most sincere.
Shi Hua curled her lips, picked up the rattle she had dropped and returned it to her: "There are a lot of people here, don't run around, your mother will be worried."
"Thank you, sister!"
The girl let go, ran down the bridge holding the rattle, and threw herself into the young woman's arms.
The woman pinched her nose and said, "I told you not to run, but you bumped into someone again, and you didn't cry this time."
Shi Hua took a casual look.
She remembered that the last time Wei Shizhou was imprisoned in Hanya, he had revealed his life in the mortal world. This place was probably where he had lived. The inner demon would not take her too far, so Wei Shizhou should be nearby.
There is no such thing as obsession in the plot.
Shi Hua was not sure whether his interference would affect the plot between him and Qin Xiyan. After thinking carefully, he decided to put on the mask.
The white jade mask covered the eyes, revealing only a pair of pink lips.
Shi Hua was walking aimlessly when he suddenly heard some unusual movement not far away. He extended his spiritual sense to check and suddenly saw a young man falling from a tall building.
A quick glance revealed a look of shock.
Shi Hua flew over and cast a spell to catch the young man. Only then did the people around him breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked down at the boy who was not even as tall as herself. He was estimated to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a very childish face, and a hint of the arrogance of the eighteen-year-old Wei Shizhou.
Wei Shizhou patted his chest with lingering fear, staring at her with bright eyes, "Thank you, Immortal, for saving me!"
Strangely, after the people knew her identity, they did not show any excitement. They calmly dispersed and went about their own business. Only the young man in front of her kept chasing her.
Shi Hua raised an eyebrow: "Why are you following me?"
Wei Shizhou scratched his head. "The Immortal just saved me, and I should be grateful to him... But I'm just a mortal, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can catch the Immortal's eye. If the Immortal doesn't mind, would you be willing to come back with me so I can prepare a banquet to thank you?"
Shi Hua nodded: "Okay, lead the way."
Wei Shizhou was surprised that this immortal was surprisingly easy to talk to. He thought that immortals looked down on mortals like them, and would not even look down on mortals' food.

The Wei family was very wealthy in the local area, and their mansion was easy to find. When the two arrived at the Wei family's house, it was already dark, and red lanterns were hanging high under the eaves.
Wei Shizhou brought her into the mansion. The servants in the mansion were busy with their own things. No one cared about the fact that the eldest son of the Wei family had disappeared for most of the day.
Perhaps because he was used to being ignored, there was no gloom on Wei Shizhou's face.
The first person to notice him was the mistress of the Wei family, Wei's father's second wife.
When Madam Wei learned that Shi Hua had saved the eldest son, she kindly invited her to stay in her house for a few more days to express her gratitude. Wei Shizhou, who had always been against Madam Wei, rarely kept his mouth shut.
His eyes looked at him expectantly.
It would be disrespectful to refuse the painting.
At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wei specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. When Wei's father returned home, she told him the whole story. Wei's father once again expressed his gratitude to Shi Hua.
Shi Hua looked at the expressions of the two people and didn't seem to be faking it. He knew that he had saved Wei Shizhou and was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart.
Where did Wei Shizhou’s previous loneliness come from?
There was no rush to paint, he just sat down and observed quietly.
Wei's father toasted her many times, but Shi Hua stopped him by saying that he was drunk and told them not to worry about her.
The atmosphere at dinner became lively.
Father Wei diligently picked up some food for Mrs. Wei. Their eyes were full of affection, and it was obvious that they were deeply in love. On the other hand, Wei Shizhou was eating by himself, chatting with her from time to time, until his younger brother came over and hugged his legs.
The younger brother is still young and loves to be with his older brother Wei Shizhou the most, but Wei Shizhou himself is very unhappy about it, but he doesn't dislike him either.
With a sour face, she pulled his hand away.
Shi Hua noticed the helpless and worried looks in the eyes of the Wei couple.
Mrs. Wei was the second wife, and she treated Wei Shizhou quite well. She didn't treat him harshly, but she didn't spoil him either. After all, a mother's love will always favor the child she carried for ten months.
Wei Shizhou was also unwilling to accept her.
"My lord, the Lantern Festival is coming up in a few days, it's going to be really lively outside!"
Wei Shizhou begged her to stay for a few more days, and after the Lantern Festival was over, he would never stop her from leaving.
I have to pretend to paint so that he won't notice.
"Alright... What do we do during the Lantern Festival?"
Wei Shizhou's eyes sparkled.
After observing for many days, Shi Hua found that when he faced the people from the Wei family, he was extremely angry and there was no light in his eyes. However, she, who suddenly broke in, unexpectedly made him open his heart.
Maybe it was because he saved him, maybe it was because he was an immortal, or maybe... she was not a member of the Wei family, so when talking to her, Wei Shizhou didn't have to think about the bad things in the past.
Shi Hua could see that his knot in his heart was related to the Wei family.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Wei Shizhou dressed himself up carefully and gave her the dress he had customized a few days ago.
It's a powder blue dress.
Shi Hua had never worn such a tender color.
Wei Shizhou was looking forward to the effect of her wearing it, saying that he thought of her when he saw the fabric and felt that she would look good in it.
Shi Hua couldn't argue with him: "You should go first, otherwise the river lantern you want will be bought by someone else if you are late."
Wei Shizhou hesitated, but there was a river lantern that was of special significance to him, so he stopped hesitating and left after agreeing on a meeting place with Shi Hua.
The Lantern Festival on earth is not only about praying for a happy and healthy life, but also about mourning the deceased and expressing one's longing.
River lanterns symbolize the latter.
Wei Shizhou held a flower lantern in his right hand and a river lantern in his left hand, standing on the shore waiting for her to appear.
The moonlight shone brightly on the shadows of the trees. He stood in the dark, his eyes silent, not knowing what he was thinking. People came and went in groups, including friends, relatives, and lovers, each heading towards their destination. He seemed to be isolated from the world, living in a world of endless loneliness, without any colorful scenes or laughter.
The dark eyes were fixed on a certain place.
Until a ray of light and shadow jumped into the eyes, the pink and blue shadow carried all the light and stepped firmly into its own dark world.
The world is brighter.
He was illuminated by the light.
The person shining on him couldn't see her true face, so he thought that under the mask must be a face that moved his heart, regardless of beauty or ugliness, just because she was walking towards him with determination.
Regardless of identity.
"Wei Shizhou."
A clear voice called his name.
A little light gathered in the dark eyes.
He curled his lips and handed over the lantern.
"Immortal, you are so late."
I went through ten dark years before you showed up.
The fluttering butterfly didn't know how dazzling it was, and what kind of light it brought wherever it passed. He thought greedily and selfishly that the butterfly fell into his arms and should belong to him.
Shi Hua was unaware and tugged at her sleeve, asking him, "Does this really look good on me?"
Wei Shizhou was certain: "No one is more suitable for this than the immortal."
