Chapter 118 Bowing down, never to meet again in life or death.
boom!
Pei Yuan felt as if he had been knocked unconscious.
Why do I feel so lightheaded?
It's his dream again, isn't it?
Pei Yuan held the person in his arms tightly, feeling her warm body and the sweet fragrance lingering in his nose.
It has a very realistic feel.
It's true, it's true!
Pei Yuan was overjoyed.
But he still had some reservations, and his heart was still hanging in suspense.
He gripped her shoulders, his eyes, bright enough to be frightening, looked at her, his tone both happy and serious: "When I wake up, you must tell me this again!"
He asked her to make a promise in a very serious and solemn manner.
"Okay, okay..." Bai Yuheng was getting a little annoyed by his clinginess, so she nodded repeatedly and agreed, "You know you're still unconscious, right? As long as you can wake up soon, I'll agree to anything you ask!"
"I can say it to you every day, if you're willing."
"Really?" Pei Yuan's eyes lit up.
Bai Yuheng found his childishness amusing: "Of course it's true. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Pei Yuan grinned, looking like a fool.
"Okay, I'll try my best to get better soon."
Bai Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle.
The two smiled at each other, their expression incredibly sweet.
As she was laughing, Bai Yuheng noticed something hard pressing against her buttocks. Looking up, she saw the person in front of her staring intently at her with barely concealed lust in their eyes.
Bai Yuheng was startled and tried to escape the wolf's den, but was instead held tightly in someone's arms.
"Why are you running?" After Pei Yuan realized her intentions, he stopped hiding them and openly displayed his desires.
A deep, resonant voice sounded beside my ear, and hot breath sprayed against my neck, striking my heart heavily.
Bai Yuheng has lived for so many years; even if she hasn't eaten pork, she's seen pigs run, right? Naturally, she wouldn't be easily scared off.
Pei Yuan originally didn't want to do anything to her; if she didn't want to, he would never force her.
Seeing that she had stopped moving and was staring at him intently, Pei Yuan felt as if he were on fire.
It was so hot that every breath they exhaled was like fire.
His eyes darkened, he lowered his head, pressed his forehead against hers, and asked her in a low, hoarse voice, as if a siren were using magic to seduce someone.
"One more is needed."
Bai Yuheng was practically drowning in Pei Yuan's eyes, and mumbled in a daze, "Wh-what?"
Pei Yuan touched his lips.
Bai Yuheng remembered that after she said those words to him, she kissed him.
Pei Yuan stared at her, asking in a seductive tone.
Want a kiss?
"..."
Bai Yuheng's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded as if possessed.
Before her head could even land, someone lifted her chin and kissed her heavily and urgently.
His kisses were haphazard, consisting only of biting and licking.
Bai Yuheng felt like her lips were about to split open.
As an "elder" who had lived hundreds of years longer than him, Bai Yuheng was "experienced" and knew his kissing technique. Even on the second day, her lips swelled up like sausages.
So she took the initiative to entice his tongue.
Pei Yuan froze abruptly, opened his eyes to look at her, his expression complex. Then, he followed her example and began to learn how to kiss properly from his teacher.
He used tremendous force, as if he wanted to devour every inch of her flesh and skin, swallow it into his body, and make it an inseparable part of him.
Lips pressed tightly together, tongues intertwined.
The gentle sound of water could be clearly heard in the quiet room.
Pei Yuan pulled away half an inch, strands of saliva clinging to the tip of his tongue. His eyes darkened for a moment, and before anyone could catch their breath, he pressed down on him again.
They kissed so passionately that they lost all sense of time and the world around them, until their mouths were dry and their bodies felt as if all the moisture had been drained away.
The two parted reluctantly.
Pei Yuan embraced her and sighed contentedly. So many years had passed; he could never have imagined a hundred years ago that his wish would one day come true.
Pei Yuan felt that the missing piece in him had been filled, and he would be willing to die immediately.
Bai Yuheng nestled in his arms, catching her breath, and asked him, "When will you wake up?"
Pei Yuan leaned on her shoulder and sniffed lightly, inhaling her fragrance. His muffled voice came from behind her hair: "Hmm, almost there."
Bai Yuheng was clearly displeased with his words, and frowned, asking, "When is 'soon'?"
He clearly couldn't give a precise time either, and could only lightly peck at her neck intermittently to soothe her anxious emotions.
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Bai Yuheng remembered the method the Xuanqing Snake Woman had taught her to remove the Nightmare Beast's poison and asked him, "Do you know that you are currently in an illusion controlled by the Nightmare Beast's love poison?"
Pei Yuan hummed in agreement and said, "I know, I'm very familiar with this kind of illusion."
He knew it so well that he could guess where it was even with his eyes closed; he had dreamt about it countless times long before he was poisoned by love.
"Do you want to get rid of the love poison?" Bai Yuheng coughed lightly, sounding a little awkward.
Pei Yuan suddenly froze, looking up at her in disbelief: "W-how do you solve this?"
He vaguely knew something, his heart skipped a beat, and then his heart pounded rapidly, as if it had jumped to his throat, choking him and preventing him from speaking.
Bai Yuheng blushed for a moment when faced with his direct gaze, then whispered two words into his ear.
To everyone's surprise, the man reacted extremely strongly, suddenly picking her up and pressing her down on the bed. His wolfish eyes stared intently at her, and his voice was hoarse: "You...you're serious?"
Bai Yuheng rolled her eyes at him: "Of course it's true. If you don't treat this poison soon, it might take your life when you break through to the next realm!"
Pei Yuan smiled suddenly. He didn't care about breaking through realms or anything like that; all he wanted was her.
A flurry of kisses rained down, densely covering her ears, cheeks, neck, collarbone... lingering all the way down.
Her breath, as warm as magma, made her tremble slightly every time it touched her skin.
Bai Yuheng hadn't expected Pei Yuan to react so strongly to those two words.
As Bai Yuheng was lost in the sea of desire, she still remembered the instructions of the Black Serpent Woman, asking her to draw out the toxins from his body at the crucial moment and completely remove them.
With something on his mind, he was even somewhat distracted during the "detoxification" process.
Pei Yuan naturally noticed her slight distraction and assumed that he hadn't done enough to satisfy her. He pursed his lips, carefully observing her expression while skillfully using his strength to make the water lilies bloom and the stream murmur.
...
Bai Yuheng walked out of the water palace with unsteady steps.
They happened to run into the Black Serpent Woman who came to heal Xuan Lang.
Seeing her appearance, the latter guessed what had happened, but smiled without saying a word and nodded with a smile.
Bai Yuheng called out to her and asked, "I was planning to tell Yuan Guang about Xuan Lang."
Xuanqing Snake Woman paused, hesitated for a long time, and nodded: "Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago, but I didn't have his way of transmitting his voice... Although the Heavenly Venerable said that he didn't want to see Emperor Yuanguang again, he would stand at the mountain gate every fifteenth day. Anyone with eyes could see that he was waiting for someone, but only those of us who knew the truth knew who he was waiting for."
After saying that, the Xuanqing Snake Woman sighed and said, "Speak, if Emperor Yuanguang still cares about our Heavenly Venerable, he should come and see. Besides, his medical skills are superb, and he might be able to awaken the Heavenly Venerable sooner."
The Serpent Maiden Xuanqing deeply understood this kind of emotional stalemate. She knew that the two had been locked in a stalemate for hundreds of years, neither willing to back down. The Heavenly Venerable was of a fierce temperament and refused to yield, while the Yuanguang Emperor, though gentle and humble, was also stubborn. The Heavenly Venerable had declared that their relationship was severed for all eternity, that they would never see each other again in life or death, and so he truly dared not come near her. Even if he did come, he wouldn't dare approach her, not even to steal a glance at her.
“In the past few years, Emperor Yuanguang has also come, but he only circled around outside the mountain a few times and dared not set foot there. Even if he met me, he would only ask a few questions about the Heavenly Venerable’s situation, hesitant and unsure of what to say. I don’t know when these two enemies will be able to settle down… Later, the Heavenly Venerable’s condition deteriorated, and I was also preoccupied with various matters, so I rarely saw him again. I guess he thought that the Heavenly Venerable knew that I was not allowed to see him again, so he never came again.”
The Azure Serpent Woman sighed deeply, lamenting that their relationship was a tragic one, and wondering when they would be able to reconcile. She hoped that their decision this time would allow them to mend their broken relationship and return to their former harmony.
Bai Yuheng nodded. She had spent more time with Yuan Guang, so she naturally knew what he was thinking. She probably told him that he couldn't wait to come here.
After communicating with her, Bai Yuheng also found a quiet place to send a telepathic message to Yuan Guang.
"Hengluan?" Yuan Guang answered quickly this time, his gentle voice coming from the other end. He paused, as if guessing where she might be, and asked softly, "Where are you now...?"
Bai Yuheng remained silent and directly transmitted another phonograph.
This time, the call was much slower, so long that Bai Yuheng thought he wouldn't answer and was about to withdraw when the screen lit up and a gentle, warm face appeared in the sky.
A closer look reveals a hint of unease.
"I thought you weren't going to answer," Bai Yuheng laughed. "I was just about to hang up."
Emperor Yuanguang glanced at her from the front and back. Seeing that the place was familiar and there was nothing to cover her up, he didn't know whether he felt relieved or more disappointed.
Bai Yuheng noticed the fleeting emotion in his eyes and asked, "Don't you want to ask about her situation?"
"..."
"I am currently in the Xuanji Palace."
"You should be familiar with this place; it's very close to her water palace."
Yuan Guang suddenly tensed up, looked up and hurriedly asked, "Water Palace? She's in the Water Palace? She's injured? What happened? Why aren't you saying anything? What happened to her?"
The usually indifferent Emperor Yuanguang seemed to have shed his disguise, revealing his true colors—cold and sharp.
"Hengluan, say something?"
As soon as he finished asking the question, he saw Bai Yuheng staring straight at him with a half-smile on her face.
Emperor Yuanguang suddenly deflated, coughed lightly, feeling quite uncomfortable under her gaze. He pretended to straighten his clothes, reverting to his gentle and composed demeanor as a refined gentleman.
"..." Bai Yuheng glanced at him, truly unable to understand his thinking. "Since you care about her, why would you really want to never see her again just because of a few angry words?"
"..." Emperor Yuanguang remained silent for a long time, then suddenly gave a bitter laugh, his eyes flashing with sorrow. "I've wronged her, I owe her, back then..." He paused, unsure how to explain the situation at that time. It wasn't something that could be explained in just a few words. He took a deep breath and sighed, "What she said was the truth. She truly wanted to never see me again in this life or any other life... How could I dare disobey her? If I went against her, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to take a single step into the Divine Netherworld Realm in this lifetime..."
Hearing this, Bai Yuheng also sighed, knowing that everyone has their own tribulations and no one else can help. She stopped bringing up his bad memories and said in a low voice, "If I told you that Xuan Lang's situation is not good, would you come?"
Would he lower his head and break the vow he made in the past when he was full of resentment and hatred, just to see her once?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuanguang's heart sank.
It's like falling into a cold, muddy swamp, unable to turn over or struggle, only sinking deeper and deeper, chilling to the bone, until you can't breathe.
