Chapter 41 [Broken Mirror] In the end it’s nothing but emptiness
"What?"
Lu Lishen clenched his fists tightly and bit his lower lip, not letting go even when it bled.
He was waiting, waiting for Ye Musi to reject him, and then hate himself for humiliating him with such a position. Although he thought about marrying his master, if he really did that, he would blame himself. No man could ever tolerate the humiliation of another man wanting to marry him.
"Marry you and become my Demon Queen."
Ye Musi covered the base of his left calf and said with difficulty, "Okay"
Lu Li gritted his teeth. It was obvious that Ye Musi should not stand with him at this time, so why did he come close to him and lick his wounds on the tip of the knife?
He didn't actually announce it to the Three Realms, and he didn't even prepare it, he just blurted it out. He just wanted to scare Ye Musi, to get him to leave quickly. He could go berserk at any moment, and he was afraid that he might hurt Ye Musi, and that Ye Musi would be even more disappointed in him after seeing him killing people.
"I'll marry you and stay with you."
Lu Lishen turned around, pinched Ye Musi's neck, and met Ye Musi's red eyes with his peach blossom eyes, "Aren't you afraid?"
He was still conscious at this moment and did not pinch hard, but put his hand on Ye Musi's neck.
Ye Musi's slender fingers grasped Lu Lishen's thick wrist, "Don't be afraid. The two identities of the Lord of Hidden Valley and the Queen of Demons are not mutually exclusive to me."
"I love you, and you love me too, right?"
Lu Lishen didn't say anything, but Ye Musi knew what he was thinking.
"If that's the case, why can't we be together?" Ye Musi's face was grim, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes due to the pain in his thigh, looking like a drop of dew dripping from a white lotus in the prime of life. He swallowed hard, "Shouldn't love mean being together?"
"If you love each other, you should be together. I want to be with you."
"So I'm not afraid. I can be the master of Hidden Valley, or I can be your Demon Queen."
He raised his other hand and touched Lu Lishen's face. His face, which originally had some baby fat, had become thinner, and the touch felt like touching bones directly.
"I love you, and I want to be with you."
"If you don't want to be the Demon Lord anymore, let's go back to Hidden Valley. With your master here, they won't do anything to you."
Lu Lishen broke away from Ye Musi's sincere gaze and looked away. What Ye Musi said touched his heart, but he couldn't find a way to suppress the evil spirit in his body. In addition, the inner demon was at work, so he didn't dare to stand next to Ye Musi for fear of dirtying Ye Musi.
He hardened his heart and tightened his grip on Ye Musi's neck. Ye Musi's face instantly turned pale. He wanted to make Ye Musi heartbroken. He didn't want to listen to him or have any status. He just wanted to stay away from Ye Musi and not hurt him.
"But I don't love you anymore."
"I only wanted to marry you to humiliate you, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to beg me for you."
Ye Musi watched Lu Lishen's lips opening and closing, and every word came out of his mouth without reservation and without room for maneuver.
"I tell you, I have never truly loved you. I just want to pull you down from the altar and make you an object of ridicule by the world."
"Why were you born as a disciple of Hidden Valley? Why was I born as a child of a commoner? Why have I been a beggar for five years?"
At this point, Lu Lishen had a scornful smile on his face. "Do you really think that I have ever been sincere?"
"After five years of dedication, I've long since become indifferent to the coldness of the world. How can I talk about sincerity?"
He was afraid that if he continued to pinch the person, he would really strangle him to death, so he quickly let go of his hand. Looking at the other person coughing violently, he raised his hand to comfort him, but stopped himself.
He cannot be soft-hearted, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
Ye Musi propped himself up, his heart ached. He couldn't believe that Lu Lishen had been deceiving him all those days.
He went from not believing in Lu Lishen at first to being moved and then falling in love with him. This whole process took less than two months. Then Lu Lishen told him that he was actually deceiving his feelings and wanted to pull him down from the altar?
"A-Li, A-Li." Ye Musi's voice sounded a little hoarse, perhaps because he was being strangled or because he was crying. He grabbed the corner of Lu Lishen's clothes, afraid that the person in front of him would leave. "I'm sorry, Master came too late. If I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have suffered for five years. I'm sorry..."
Lu Lishen stood up without mercy, threw away his sleeves, and took several steps back.
"It's too late to say anything now. The matter is a foregone conclusion. I am destined to be the only one in the world and kill all the cultivators in the world. If you want to live, why not kneel down and beg me? Perhaps I will spare your life because of our previous master-disciple relationship. However..."
Ye Musi raised his head and looked at Lu Lishen. His pale face and the red corners of his eyes formed a sharp contrast. At this moment, he was like a shy lotus. Even though he was wearing a dark and gorgeous robe, he was still untainted by the mud.
"Be my furnace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Musi's heart sank and his body turned cold.
Until his death, he would never think of being someone else's cauldron. He thought that kind of thing was only done by people who loved each other. Lu Li would do it with him only if she loved him deeply, and he would cooperate with her only if he loved Lu Li deeply.
But what is a furnace cauldron? In the world of cultivation, a furnace cauldron is just a lowly servant, even lower than a prostitute. Anyone can ride on it. Anything with a piece of loincloth is considered top-quality among furnace cauldrons. They have not seen the light of day for years, and the color in their eyes has disappeared.
He didn't expect that Lu Lishen would humiliate him in this way. Perhaps he was heartbroken. He lowered his head, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying.
"Why, why did you lie to me...why did you lie to me too..."
Ye Musi's voice was tearful and unclear, but Lu Lishen heard it clearly.
A trace of pain flashed in Lu Lishen's eyes, but he quickly hid it.
"There's no love between you and me." Lu Lishen's voice was cold and heartless, as if he had never really loved Ye Musi. "It's just that we each get what we need."
Ye Musi shook his head. His hair was a little messy, and the wind blowing in from the window made his hair flutter as well.
"It's not about taking what we need from each other. I really love you so much..."
He thought he had found a lover, someone he could rely on, but it turned out to be a dream. How could he not be heartbroken and upset?
"Don't lie to me..."
At this moment, his left leg had lost sensation, and instead it was his heart that was aching. His chest felt stuffy, as if there was a stone blocking it, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He ignored the pain and moved forward to grab the corner of Lu Lishen's clothes. He wanted to keep Lu Lishen.
But Lu Lishen left in disgust.
Ye Musi looked at the door, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, a red bead appeared in his hand, with a crack in the middle, followed by pain in his heart.
He lay on the ground, wondering what to do next.
Lu Lishen did not go far. He hid outside the door and looked at the person lying on the ground in the house. A red bead appeared in his hand. He raised his hand to check and found that the center of the bead was cracked.
This is……
Marriage beads?
Compared to before, the color of this marriage bead is much lighter.
He frowned and felt a strange pain in his chest.
He stretched out his finger to touch the marriage bead. It turned out that the marriage bead had not disappeared. It turned out that Ye Musi had not lied to him on Sunset Island.
But it was too late to undo all this. The cracked bead could not be restored to its original state. The damage had been done, and Master's heart had already turned cold. It was impossible...
Forget it. After it’s over, I’ll try my best to untie this marriage contract and break this marriage bead.
He was possessed by the devil, destined to be the enemy of the Immortal Sect, and destined to die, but he could not take Ye Musi with him.
"Take him with you to die." The inner demon had gained a lot of cultivation due to Lu Li's deep involvement in the Demonic Slaughter, and had already taken on a physical form. At this moment, he was just a humanoid figure emitting a demonic aura, without any appearance. "Let him be buried with us."
Lu Lishen was upset. He raised his hand and waved at the inner demon, and the inner demon disappeared.
He then glanced at the people in the room and left.
He asked someone to find the best doctor in the demon world to treat Ye Musi.
He didn't mean to hurt Ye Musi last night. Instead, after he took a bath, he found that his gorgeous clothes were gone and replaced by a white dress with Ye Musi's picture on it. His mind went crazy and he couldn't control himself for a while.
In short, let Ye Musi leave as soon as possible.
At this moment he didn't know that Ye Musi had suffered the backlash of the marriage contract, and his black hair had turned white.
The evil doctor did not dare to neglect Ye Musi and tried his best to treat him, but the root of the disease still remained.
My legs are now fully healed, the bones have connected and grown back, but I will still have some difficulty walking and will limp when I walk.
When the magic doctor felt his pulse and checked for other injuries, he noticed that there was a bracelet with red beads on his left wrist. The beads seemed to have some cracks, as if they were about to break.
"Is this a marriage bead?"
He didn't even know when the marriage contract was tied between them.
In the world of cultivation, the marriage contract is a forbidden technique.
"Master, your noble body is no longer in danger. The Demon Lord has sent me a message. Once you have recovered from your injuries, please leave on your own."
After saying this, the witch doctor took his leave, and he was alone in the room again. He packed up simply, changed into the clothes the witch had given him when he came, and left resolutely.
Wouldn't he be able to survive without his lover, without someone to rely on, without Lu Lishen? Hadn't he come through all these years?
Lu Lishen is not his everything, he can live well without him!
Although he said that, his heart still ached, as if it was mocking the fact that his emotions had been discarded.
What he didn't know was that he had been unconscious in the Demon Realm for a day and a night, and the world of cultivation had already become a mess.
When the leaders of the other four sects arrived at Sunset Mountain, Jiang Yao sent people to find Ye Musi to discuss everything, but found that Ye Musi was missing. She quickly notified Yinyou Valley, fearing that Ye Musi might have an accident.
Yinyou Valley sent Zhu Jianye and Lan Feiyue here.
Ye Mushi had just returned to the guest house when Zhu Jianye rushed over immediately after hearing the news. On the way, he heard people talking about how the master of Yinyou Valley became like that.
Which look?
He was very worried and just wanted to see Ye Musi as soon as possible. He wanted to know where Ye Musi had gone and what had happened.
When he pushed open the door, he saw Ye Musi who had just returned to the guest house. His black hair had turned snow-white, there was a dark sadness in his eyes, the corners of his eyes were red, and his face did not look very good.
