Chapter 92 I still have time to spend with you
"boom--"
A flash of lightning struck, and Si Yao, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
The pain in her body stopped abruptly. She quickly wiped the corner of her mouth; there was no blood. Her lower abdomen remained intact.
Looking around again, Si Yao realized that she was no longer in the space where she had been entangled with Li Ye. She was now in Li Ye's room.
Everything returned to normal, as if she had returned to the moment when she pushed open the door and went to look for Li Ye.
Could it be...?
Si Yao raised her hands, examining her clean palms. "Was that...an illusion?"
After much deliberation, she wondered if it could be an illusion or a premonition.
After all, he now carries the Fate Stone and is already influenced by her blood, so it's understandable that he occasionally gives some kind of premonition.
"Squeak—squeak—"
The wind outside was blowing against the half-open door, making a rhythmic sound.
Si Yao put the bell away, slowly left Li Ye's room, and finally closed the door tightly.
"You were looking for me?"
Behind him, Li Ye's voice came from the courtyard.
Si Yao was neither surprised nor overjoyed, and turned around as usual.
She saw Li Ye standing quietly at the boundary between moonlight and darkness.
He hadn't known where he'd gone before, and upon his return, he happened to run into Si Yao.
"I was just about to look for him, but there's nothing urgent right now," Si Yao said evasively, glancing up at the person in the shadows.
Li Ye didn't let her off the hook. "You must have something on your mind. Why don't you tell me?"
Si Yao took a step towards Li Ye, not responding to him first, but instead asking, "Where did you go again?"
Although she couldn't see Li Ye's expression clearly, Si Yao could sense that his breathing was unstable.
"I didn't go anywhere, just wandered around."
Si Yao frowned; he hadn't told the truth after all.
Her gaze was fixed on him, following his every breath and every moment, and her divine sense automatically explored some scenes.
The scene first presents the distant, towering Ximang Mountain. Beyond the boundary between the human and demon realms lies the demon realm, shrouded in dark clouds.
In the darkness, the blood moon hung high, and outside the Demon Realm Palace, endless blood energy rose into a crimson mist.
Demon Lord Li Ye walked slowly through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. His scarlet pupils were constricted as he looked at several fleeing demon cultivators in the distance. Suddenly, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
"Bang--"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang -"
In the blink of an eye, the demon cultivators who were hundreds of feet away suddenly exploded, their bodies shattered into pieces. The splattered blood streaked across the sky and formed several streams of blood, which flowed into the demonic artifact hovering in Li Ye's palm.
"They're all just trash."
His look of disgust deepened, his expression contorted with rage, and his voice trembled, "Not enough...not enough...not nearly enough..."
He continued forward, this time reaching his bloody hand towards the women, children, and the elderly of the demon realm—those who had once submitted to him.
The cries of agony and agony filled the air as the helpless people were instantly transformed into a thick rain of blood.
"It's almost finished..."
Li Ye looked excited. Sixteen array diagrams appeared on the demonic artifact in his hand, and the entire earth began to shake. Countless demon corpses were wrapped around the totems reflected in the demonic array, instantly turning into a pulsating furnace of flesh and blood.
“Look, look, this is Li Ye’s true face, this is his past.”
Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang out in the video.
"Given his bloodthirstiness, do you think he'll spare you when his spirit returns to its rightful place?"
"He's willing to sacrifice even the demons, he hasn't even spared his own people, so why would he spare you?"
“You are merely a human, the opposite of the demon race. He has no reason to spare your life.”
In just a few breaths, Si Yao heard the voice repeat dozens of times.
"Siyao?"
Li Ye's deep voice brought Si Yao back to her senses.
The scene she had just witnessed was too bloody, and Si Yao was unsettled. She looked up and met Li Ye's gaze.
The silver moon in the night sky disappeared into the clouds, and the shadow in which Li Ye was located grew even darker.
A moment later, he leaned closer and said, "You don't look well."
The hint of concern in his tone gave Si Yao a strange feeling.
"I met someone," Si Yao had intended to tell Li Ye, "who seems to be from your demon realm."
Li Ye became alert. "What did he say to you?"
"He gave me something." Si Yao opened her palm, and the Destiny Stone crystal was still emitting a faint light.
Li Ye lowered his brows, looking puzzled.
However, the fate stone in front of him also evoked memories of his time in Wuzhou.
He couldn't help but think of Si Yao and Jiang Cifeng.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Si Yao continued truthfully, "That person is most likely your mortal enemy, who wants you dead. After giving me this stone, he left."
At this point, Si Yao added, "His cultivation level was above mine, so I didn't stop him."
Li Ye withdrew his gaze from the Fate Stone and looked at Si Yao. "He must have had some ulterior motive for giving you the Fate Stone. Did he discover that my primordial spirit was residing in your dantian?"
Si Yao paused for a moment, then nodded. "He wanted to kill me, but your primordial spirit has its own defensive capabilities, so he couldn't touch me."
Li Ye frowned and probed Si Yao with a wisp of spiritual energy.
The intense spiritual energy coursed through her body, making Si Yao feel a tingling sensation.
Immediately, Li Ye's brows relaxed. "You were indeed not hurt in the slightest."
Is this to confirm if she is injured? Or to confirm if his primordial spirit is damaged?
Such a thought flashed through Si Yao's mind, and Li Ye's voice rang in her ears, "Let me take a look at this stone."
Si Yao hesitated for a moment.
The images from the illusion flashed through my mind.
In the illusion, one moment they were making love, the next he coldly and ruthlessly ripped her primordial spirit from her dantian.
If this is something that will happen in the future, then Li Ye, who is right in front of her, is undoubtedly the person Si Yao needs to be most wary of.
Even if she harbored some inexplicable feelings for him deep down, she wouldn't be foolish enough to risk her life for love.
At this moment, Li Ye wanted to see her destiny stone, and he wondered what he would glean from it.
"What's wrong?" Li Ye asked. "This is something that person gave you. I have to take a look, just in case."
Si Yao gritted her teeth and handed it to him.
Li Ye held the Fate Stone crystal in his hand and explored it with his divine sense.
Unlike Si Yao, he never saw any images in the Fate Stone.
Si Yao, standing to the side, suddenly felt nervous, wondering what Li Ye's reaction would be if he saw her past and future with Jiang Cifeng.
Li Ye's previously calm expression suddenly vanished, replaced by a serious look, tinged with anger.
Si Yao held her breath, her voice urgent, "You saw it?"
"Bang--"
With a casual flick of his wrist, the Fate Stone in Li Ye's hand shattered into dust.
"You—" Si Yao cried out, "Why did you break it?"
Si Yao also wanted to know about her past. She wanted to know why she was hunted down by her clan when she was still Gu Sang in her previous life; and why the bloody hole in her right shoulder caused her so much pain when she was in a pool of blood.
It was as painful as losing the most important thing in my life.
She longed to know every detail of her past life.
I also want to know whether my future self will be alive or dead?
However, before these details could be explored one by one, the fate stone that was connected to her had already been destroyed by Li Ye!
"Give me back my Fate Stone!" Si Yao exclaimed angrily. "How could you do this without my permission?"
Her voice suddenly became much louder, but the anger on Li Ye's face did not diminish in the slightest.
Si Yao was furious. "I know you saw it, right? You're angry, aren't you? I knew you'd be angry, but that doesn't mean you have to destroy it!"
"If you destroy it now, how am I supposed to know about my past and future?"
Si Yao was filled with righteous indignation.
Li Ye was stunned, his chest heaving slightly. "If you want to find out, the true form of the Fog City Fate Stone is right there. Do you think it's too far?"
Si Yao said, "Stop making excuses, you clearly ruined it on purpose!"
Li Ye grabbed Si Yao's wrist and pulled her to his side, then pointed to the Fate Stone crystal that had turned into dust in the air.
“This Fate Stone has been imbued with that person’s divine consciousness. Everything you do will be perceived by that person.” Li Ye moved closer to her, his grip tightening. “If I don’t destroy it, am I supposed to keep it monitoring our every word and action?”
Si Yao quickly pulled her hand away and forcefully pushed Li Ye away.
"You're too rough, you're hurting me!"
Li Ye took two steps back, staggering slightly.
He was about to speak when he wanted to check if her wrist was red and sore from the pain he had caused.
Si Yao, pale-faced as she gazed at the dust in the air, spoke first: "If what you say is true, then he probably already knows your identity."
Li Ye's anger had completely dissipated, and in just a few breaths, he had already made up his mind.
His tone was remarkably calm: "I know it's him. He won't rest until he completely eliminates me."
Si Yao gasped, "I...I didn't detect any divine sense from your demon race before..."
She felt apologetic, realizing that she had indeed made a mistake this time.
Li Ye didn't blame her. Instead, his tone softened considerably. "His cultivation is far superior to yours. Even if you were to search for him, you wouldn't be able to find the wisp of divine consciousness he hid."
After saying this, he leaned closer to Si Yao again and gently patted her shoulder. "Since you are so eager to know about the past and the future, I will accompany you to Wuzhou."
Si Yao unconsciously gripped the hem of her dress tightly. "No need."
She looked up, then suddenly smiled silently. "I thought you were angry because you saw something on that Fate Stone, I thought..."
Si Yao thought that Li Ye had seen Jiang Cifeng and Gu Sang cuddling and falling in love, and that Jiang Cifeng and she would become Daoist partners in the future...
She assumed Li Ye was jealous, which was why he was so furious. She thought she still held some importance in his heart...
“I didn’t see anything,” Li Ye said. “Perhaps only those who can sense it can see the past and the future.”
It turns out that his anger stemmed from discovering that the Destiny Stone contained the consciousness of his mortal enemy.
Si Yao nodded weakly, her voice barely a whisper, "I understand... but there's no need to go to Wuzhou either, it's unnecessary..."
“I have plenty of time…” Li Ye’s eyes became cautious as he looked at the person in front of him tentatively. “Before my primordial spirit returns to its place, I have plenty of time to spend with you.”
