Chapter 34 Chapter 34 "Revenge for You"
He said this as if there was an old relationship between him and Qiu Shi.
Ruan Mingyu thought about it for a while, and finally opened up the long-forgotten memory and told him everything that had happened before.
"Remember when we got lost in the Misty Forest after emerging from the Bottomless Pit? Back then, you and I split up, and as we were walking, I encountered a wounded demon. It tried to suck all my blood to recover its power. Luckily, you taught me sword techniques, so I engaged it and then took the opportunity to escape." Ruan Mingyu pointed to his back. "I was even hit by an arrow while running away, and now there's a scar on my shoulder. Later, I thought, maybe he was the one who shot that arrow."
Song Chenxi's expression remained normal, but the hilt of the sword in his hand was almost deformed. He was already planning to cut the man into pieces.
He whispered to Ruan Mingyu, "Don't be afraid, let me take care of him."
Ruan Mingyu hadn't told Song Chenxi about Qiu Shi forcing him to swallow the poison. On the one hand, he was afraid Song Chenxi would rush in and argue with him, resulting in a mutually devastating fight. On the other hand, he was afraid that if he told him, Qiu Shi wouldn't give him the antidote, and he simply couldn't bear the pain.
Song Chenxi felt that Ruan Mingyu must be hiding something from him. He did not ask any further questions, but just quietly followed Ruan Mingyu when he went down the mountain alone at the end of the month.
In fact, they were supposed to meet two days in advance, but for some reason Qiu Shi chose the day when Ruan Mingyu was about to have a reaction to the poison.
Ruan Mingyu could only endure the pain in his head that was about to explode and quickly rushed down the mountain to the agreed location.
As soon as he saw Qiu Shi, Ruan Mingyu said, "Give me the medicine!"
"Is this how you ask for help?" Qiu Shi said coldly, "I asked you to help me look after Song Chenxi, but you got together with him instead. You're really something."
Ruan Mingyu could only hear a group of mosquitoes buzzing around his ears, which was extremely annoying. He began to get angry and kept repeating, "Medicine!"
Qiu Shi: "When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help."
Ruan Mingyu was tortured by the poison and was about to go crazy. He no longer cared about anything. After losing his mind, he drew out the sword given to him by Song Chenxi and was determined to fight him to the death.
Under the torment of the drug, his swordsmanship had actually rapidly improved to a higher level. The only set he knew, "Star and Moon Kill," was now fully unleashed in his hands. His sword moves were as swift as lightning, each one striking the enemy's vital points.
Qiu Shi's eyes flashed with disbelief. He twisted Ruan Mingyu's hand and pushed him to the ground.
Ruan Mingyu still held the sword tightly in his hand, wanting to turn around and stab him, but unfortunately, due to his huge strength, it was in vain.
Qiu Shi pinned him to the ground.
Ruan Mingyu's resistance just now was like a last hurrah. The moment his head hit the ground, his vision gradually became blurred and he could no longer see clearly.
"You actually know this trick." Qiu Shi murmured. His memory seemed to have crossed the gap of time and returned to the misty forest, where he met the unruly boy again.
Qiu Shi dragged him up: "Don't play dead."
Ruan Mingyu slowly began to feel the effects of the poison. He grabbed Qiu Shi's robe, no longer showing the same arrogance as before, and pleaded, "Antidote..."
Qiu Shi didn't give him the antidote. He lifted Ruan Mingyu's chin and examined him carefully. In the demon world, the only color was gray, a hazy gray everywhere. So he couldn't distinguish people's appearances.
He touched Ruan Mingyu's face, carefully examining his features. His nose was slightly more upturned than Song Chenxi's, and his eyes were larger. He then slowly moved his hand back, touching the dark hair on top of his head. The soft hair entwined itself around his hand, much more docile than its owner.
Was it Ruan Mingyu or Song Chenxi back then? Qiu Shi was becoming increasingly confused.
He had drunk his blood before, and if he drank another sip, he would definitely be able to tell the difference.
He bared his sharp fangs, then moved the hair on Ruan Mingyu's neck to the other side, opened his mouth and was about to bite.
At this moment, Song Chenxi arrived in time and rushed out, snatching Ruan Mingyu from him.
Song Chenxi's face was full of gloom.
"What did you do to him?"
Qiu Shi raised his head and gave Song Chenxi a sinister smile.
"We meet again." Qiu Shi had not yet confirmed his guess, so he said to Song Chenxi: "If you still want him to live, bring him to the Misty Forest to find me.
Oh, I forgot to tell you, he must be feeling bad right now." Then he turned into a puff of smoke and left.
Song Chenxi lowered his head to check on Ruan Mingyu's condition. Ruan Mingyu frowned and seemed to be in great pain.
Soon, he began to wail. Ruan Mingyu felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at his brain, causing him excruciating pain. He kept banging his head against the ground in an attempt to ease the pain.
Just bear with it a little longer, he lied to himself and told himself, then you will get the antidote.
But the pain was unbearable. Ruan Mingyu crawled forward, unable to tell if the person in front of him was Qiu Shi or Song Chenxi. He grabbed his clothes and begged, "Medicine, give me medicine. I'll do anything you ask me to do. I'll never go against you again. Please."
He raised his head and looked at Song Chenxi with tears in his eyes.
Song Chenxi remained silent, suppressing the urge to go back and chop off the monster's head. He took out a knife, cut his wrist, and dripped blood into Ruan Mingyu's mouth.
He had already smelled a faint demonic aura on Ruan Mingyu, and the demon must have refined the demonic aura into the pill, which was why it made people lose their minds and their demonic nature erupted.
The collision of the two evil energies should be able to suppress the toxicity in Ruan Mingyu's body.
The pain in his body was relieved, and Ruan Mingyu tasted the sweetness. He opened his mouth greedily, as if he had been thirsty for dozens of days and found nectar. He grabbed Song Chenxi's hand and licked the blood from the wound. The bright red blood dripped onto his pale face, and his face looked like a ghost.
Song Chenxi said nothing. He held Ruan Mingyu in his arms and let him suck his blood. He kissed his forehead and said softly, "Mingyu, you will get better soon. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
After drinking an unknown amount of blood, Ruan Mingyu finally regained consciousness. The blurry world suddenly became clear, as if he had been reborn.
Damn Qiu Shi, he really should have a taste of this.
He had no strength in his body and leaned weakly in Song Chenxi's arms. When he opened his eyes and saw Song Chenxi, Ruan Mingyu was a little surprised.
Song Chenxi stayed by his side. When he woke up, he wiped the blood off his face, staining the white handkerchief blood red.
Ruan Mingyu recalled what had just happened. Song Chenxi actually fed him blood...
He stood up and bandaged the wound on Song Chenxi's hand, then asked him, "Does it hurt?"
This was the second time he asked him if it hurt. Song Chenxi looked at Ruan Mingyu and saw that he looked nervous. He smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt."
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon." Song Chenxi picked him up and placed him in a safe place.
"Where are you going?" Ruan Mingyu's voice was hoarse. He pulled his sleeve and stopped him from leaving.
"To avenge you."
———————
Stepping into the forest again, Song Chenxi's mood was completely different from before. Originally, he was filled with joy at being reborn, but now, he was filled with hatred.
Qiu Shi was sitting on a dead tree, his feet dangling in the air. When he saw Song Chenxi, he pointed to the land beneath his feet.
"Remember? This is where we first met. You were carrying a sword, and I wondered where this fat sheep had landed on my doorstep. You were so weak, yet you still struck me with the sword, nearly killing me. But I still managed to suck your blood; it was so sweet and delicious."
Song Chenxi had probably figured out the whole story. Back then, when he and Ruan Mingyu got lost, he had caused so much trouble in just a few hours.
He unleashed his longsword, not giving him a moment to breathe. He formed a spell with his hand, and the sword suddenly transformed into tens of thousands of densely packed swords. Song Chenxi still felt it wasn't enough, so he bit his finger until it bled, then smeared the blood on the longsword in his hand.
Qiu Shi felt a sense of oppression from his own kind.
"No," he said, his eyes widening in disbelief, "How could you be a demon cultivator?"
He thought of something and his face looked extremely ugly.
"That person wasn't you back then!"
Song Chenxi's smile grew even brighter. "Fool, you can't even tell people apart. It's a waste of time to live. I'll send you to death today."
"Impossible!" Qiu Shi roared like an angry beast. He had done so many bad things to Ruan Mingyu, and now he was told that the white moonlight he had been thinking about was Ruan Mingyu all along. How could he accept this? This would be a hundred times more painful than killing him!
"You lied to me, you absolutely lied to me!" Qiu Shi was hysterical. Although he said he didn't believe it, his heart had already begun to waver. Every bit of his time with Ruan Mingyu during these days kept replaying in his mind.
Song Chenxi shouted coldly: "Go!"
Several long swords suddenly appeared and stabbed towards him at a high speed. Wherever the sword light went, no grass would grow.
Qiu Shi gritted his teeth and resisted, but the swords were extremely hard and penetrated the barrier he had built.
He didn't want to get entangled and just wanted to go back to Ruan Mingyu immediately and seek his forgiveness.
Song Chenxi released the demonic energy around him and said to him, "Where else do you want to go? Today I will kill you with my sword. I will never let you see him again."
Qiu Shi had no intention of fighting with Song Chenxi. He just wanted to go back to find Ruan Mingyu. He changed into his true form, a several-meter-long king cobra. He swung his body, swept away the flying sword, and then flew towards the sky.
Song Chenxi caught up quickly. He condensed the remaining sword intent and transformed it into a huge flying sword, pointing the sword directly at the long worm!
With a loud bang, a sword was drawn and cut off the tail of a snake.
However, when he looked back at the original place, Qiu Shi had disappeared!
Qiu Shi endured the pain and went back in the original direction regardless of anything.
He must see Ruan Mingyu and get his forgiveness no matter what the cost.
As long as he could forgive him, he would pay anything. Qiu Shi slapped himself. The person he was thinking about was right in front of him, but he couldn't recognize her. Why did he make such a mistake?
Relying on his sensitivity to smell, he found Ruan Mingyu's trace.
Ruan Mingyu had just been poisoned, and although he recovered a lot after drinking Song Chenxi's blood, a new problem arose. He felt inexplicably irritated and drew the sword from his waist. He had always worn the sword since Song Chenxi gave it to him last time.
Ruan Mingyu chopped the surrounding woods indiscriminately as if to vent his anger, and cut them into pieces. As far as he could see, there was not a single tree still standing.
Ruan Mingyu knelt on the ground, unable to understand why he had done that just now, and unable to understand why he was so angry!
Before he could vent his anger, someone came to his house to make him angry.
That beast Qiu Shi appeared in front of him again.
When he saw Qiu Shi, Ruan Mingyu immediately tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, knowing that his appearance was bound to be no good.
Qiu Shishuang's face was red and covered with blood. He knelt on the ground and took out the antidote from the bottle and wanted to feed it to him.
"Get out of here!" Ruan Mingyu turned his head away, thinking that he was going to feed him poison again.
Qiu Shi said in a trembling voice: "Do you still remember that in the Misty Forest, you defeated me with a sword move? I have remembered you for many, many years..."
Ruan Mingyu looked at him indifferently: "I don't remember any of those bad memories. I don't even want to remember who you are."
Qiu Shi's face suddenly turned into one of defeat. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch his face. Ruan Mingyu showed a look of disgust. Qiu Shi's hand paused in mid-air, looking somewhat helpless.
Why? Why did I recognize the wrong person?
He begged, "Can you forgive me? You can repay me tenfold or a hundredfold for everything I've done to you. Please don't bear a grudge against me."
Ruan Mingyu had no feelings for him at all, not even hatred. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, he also wanted to stick to his original intention and not hurt anyone. However, even if he didn't hurt others, others would hurt him.
This is the attitude that Ruan Mingyu should have under normal circumstances.
But the next moment, Ruan Mingyu's pupils turned blood red.
He raised his head, smiled at Qiu Shi, and waved to him: "Come here."
Qiu Shi was obedient in the past. Like a devout believer, he willingly sacrificed himself.
Ruan Mingyu stepped on his chest and said with a tut, "For a vague shadow in your heart, you have made yourself like this, Qiu Shi, you really look like a waste."
The blood drained from Qiu Shi's face. He couldn't accept Ruan Mingyu's attitude towards him. He lunged forward, trying to hold Ruan Mingyu down. His pretended gentleness vanished, and only deep paranoia remained in his eyes.
"Come with me, I can give you whatever you want, I can use everything to compensate you!"
Ruan Mingyu sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke: "Who do you think you are? I don't care about you."
As he spoke, he suddenly stabbed the sword into the opponent's heart. Qiu Shi's face was full of disbelief, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, he stared at him straight, staggered, and finally fell to the ground.
Ruan Mingyu had countless crazy ideas in his mind. After seeing the blood, he became more and more excited. This feeling made his soul boil.
Ruan Mingyu felt his eyes turn blood red, and the whole world turned bloody. He felt like he had turned into a sharp sword, craving blood and slaughter.
Blood continued to flow out of Qiu Shi's chest.
Ruan Mingyu started laughing. He had never been so happy before. He was high above everyone else, in control of everything. As long as he wanted, anything could be reduced to ashes.
As he laughed, he suddenly burst into tears and knelt on the ground.
Ruan Mingyu looked down at his hands covered in blood.
What is he...doing?
Ruan Mingyu looked at Qiu Shi, who was lying on the ground. He looked at him in pain, but without any struggle.
How could this be something he did?
He clearly wanted to be a doctor who saved lives, so how could he... kill... people...
Ruan Mingyu covered his head, he felt like he was going crazy, he finally understood why Song Chenxi was so abnormal, such a world was too crazy, too scary!
His eyes began to bleed, and the red senior sister was about to attack again. Ruan Mingyu felt deeply desperate and he could not control himself.
Without thinking too much, he continued to pick up the sword tremblingly.
Lying on the ground, Qiu Shi closed his eyes resignedly.
Ruan Mingyu didn't want to point the sword at Qiu Shi's chest. He gripped the hilt tightly with his fingers, gritted his teeth, turned the sword in another direction, and pointed the sharpest blade at himself.
Then poke it down.
Seeing the sword blade getting closer and closer to his heart, at this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard, and the sword in Ruan Mingyu's hand was knocked down from the air and fell to the ground with a clang.
Song Chenxi rushed up and hugged him.
Ruan Mingyu fell into a warm embrace. He opened his eyelids and took a look at the person who came. After confirming that it was Song Chenxi, he hugged his neck with both hands and buried his head in his arms.
Ruan Mingyu's face showed childish confusion and helplessness.
"I killed someone..." He raised his head, his face full of tears, his lips trembling, and he spoke with difficulty.
"He's not dead yet." Song Chenxi hugged him tightly, "You didn't kill anyone."
Ruan Mingyu opened his eyes wide and cried blankly.
He didn't make a sound, like a crying puppet, his soul had been taken away.
Song Chenxi kissed Ruan Mingyu's hair tenderly, stroked his trembling back with his palm, and patted him gently to comfort him.
From now on, he should bear all the dirty, bloody and disgusting things alone. He didn't want to see Ruan Mingyu like this.
He wanted Ruan Mingyu to always be clean and pretty, and be the little sparrow in his heart.
Judging from Ruan Mingyu's symptoms, he was probably in a similar condition to himself. The only explanation as to why Ruan Mingyu became like this was that he had drunk his blood before.
Regret was useless, Song Chenxi fed him the pill that Ruan Mingyu had made for him to control his "delusions".
He didn't know how to swallow, so Song Chenxi had to kiss him and push the medicine down his throat.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked.
Ruan Mingyu said nothing.
Ruan Mingyu blinked his eyes only after the medicine slowly took effect. He seemed to regain consciousness. When he saw his hands were covered in blood, he trembled in Song Chenxi's arms.
Ruan Mingyu felt that he must be in a very miserable state now. His white clothes were soaked with blood, including his own blood, the blood of Qiu Shi who was kneeling on the ground, and even the blood was stained on Song Chenxi's body.
He murmured, "What have I done?"
Song Chenxi covered his eyes to prevent him from seeing the bloody scene.
"Nothing, you just did what you wanted to do, it's normal."
