"Hi, God Wenheng, long time no see?" I waved and grinned as I opened my mouth to greet him.
To my surprise, when he looked up and saw me, his face darkened and he vanished from my sight in a flash.
I thought I had made a mistake in summoning him, so I tried summoning him again: "May all my thoughts be fulfilled and all my sights be filled with joy—Wen Heng."
I summoned him again, and soon that handsome face reappeared. But when he caught a glimpse of me, he waved his sleeve expressionlessly and disappeared from my sight once more.
He actually saw me run away again? I ran away!
I summoned again, unwilling to give up.
He appeared and then vanished in an instant.
After repeating the process a third, fourth, fifth, and countless times, he still couldn't summon it.
Helpless, I sent a voice transmission talisman to the uncle to inquire, only to find out that my spiritual power was inferior to Wen Heng's, and I only had three chances to summon him each day. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, you've already fallen behind his spiritual power after just a few days."
Fortunately, the uncle said he could take me to Wenheng even if it was in my territory.
With that thought in mind, I cast the spell without hesitation: "May all my thoughts be as I wish, and may all my sights bring me joy—send me to find Wen Heng!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a beam of white light sent me into a bottomless vortex—
a long time……
I found myself standing in the middle of a vast, dark ocean, shrouded in mist and clouds, on the horizon.
In the distance on the horizon, there was a gigantic Dream Spirit Orb that shone like a bright moon. It seemed I had entered someone else's dream world.
"I am Wen Heng from the Pengxian Sect, here to exorcise the demon for Miss Ye."
Suddenly, a scene appeared in the Dream Spirit Orb: Wen Heng, dressed as a naive young Taoist priest, was smiling and bowing to someone.
Just as I was wondering who Wen Heng was greeting?
A woman with a melodious voice, a gentle and refined demeanor, and a veil over her face appeared before Wen Heng in the Dream Spirit Pearl. She bowed to Wen Heng and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Wen."
Did I accidentally stumble into Ye Ling'er and Wen Heng's past lives?
Sure enough, in this Dream Spirit Pearl, I saw that Ye Ling'er was a young lady from an official family, but because she was the reincarnation of the Demon King's son, she attracted many demons and monsters who wanted to awaken her. Therefore, Ye Ling'er was weak and sickly and suffered many disasters from birth.
Left with no other choice, the Ye family invited Wen Heng, a novice Taoist priest specializing in exorcising demons and warding off disasters, to help Ye Ling'er.
Because of the endless stream of demons that haunted Ye Ling'er, Wen Heng often stayed at the Ye residence to exorcise them for her. Over time, their relationship became ambiguous.
Regarding the story between Wen Heng and Ye Chen, who was reincarnated as a mortal woman named Ye Ling'er, I only learned about their past romance from Ye Chen.
Wen Heng was an introverted person back then, so his feelings for Ye Ling'er were only hidden in his heart, and he did not cross any boundaries with Ye Ling'er.
But seeing the young and innocent Wen Heng back then, with the same burning gaze Zhou Yu gave me back then, I actually felt a little jealous.
Later, because Ye Ling'er was surrounded by many demons, Wen Heng asked his master to help exorcise them. During the exorcism, he learned that Ye Ling'er was the reincarnation of the Demon King's son, and his master advised him to seal him away again.
Just as he was hesitating...
Unaware of the situation, Ye Ling'er, deeply immersed in her feelings for Wen Heng, unexpectedly confessed her love to him at this crucial moment.
Wen Heng, who already knew about Ye Ling'er's background, had his budding affection extinguished, and could only ruthlessly reject Ye Ling'er's confession.
Disheartened by rejection, Ye Ling'er unintentionally learns that it was Wen Heng's master who was behind it. Influenced by demonic energy, he used methods to cruelly kill his master and even slaughter his fellow disciples.
On a snowy, freezing day, Wen Heng, in a fit of rage, killed Ye Ling'er with a single sword stroke. I watched with a heavy heart as Wen Heng, leaning on his sword and kneeling on one knee, his blood staining the white snow, actually shed a single tear for Ye Ling'er—a lover's tear.
A drop fell onto Ye Ling'er's heart—
After Ye Ling'er, who was in her mortal body, passed away, Ye Chen, the son of the Demon King, was fully awakened. Clutching his aching chest, he escaped right under Wen Heng's nose while Wen Heng was grieving.
Ye Chen, whose demonic energy had already receded since birth due to the nurturing of the spirit jade, was once again corrupted by this love tribulation, and his admiration for Wen Heng only grew stronger. He harmed many ordinary people to soothe his restless heart.
He even secretly followed and spied on Wen Heng's behavior.
When Wen Heng saw Ye Ling'er again, who had become completely masculine, his eyes were devoid of any emotion.
Each time, they showed no mercy in killing Ye Chen.
No wonder Zhou Lang hated Ye Chen so much when I was with him.
Later, Ye Chen, nurtured by Ling Yu, still retained his conscience. To avoid becoming a demon and harming the innocent, he ruthlessly stripped his own soul from his body, discarding it and abandoning it.
The current Ye Ling'er is a demon of love transformed from Ye Chen's soul and Wen Heng's tears from his past love.
She even sneaked into Wen Heng's heart under the guise of a lover's tears, relentlessly haunting him day after day, becoming Wen Heng's inner demon.
To rid himself of his inner demons, Wen Heng even had to endure the pain of having his heart ripped out and his blood drained before he could finally free Ye Ling'er from him.
Completely corrupted, Ye Ling'er was unwilling to be abandoned, but she was powerless to do anything but drag her weak spiritual body through ten thousand years to gain some powerful spiritual energy that could bewitch people. Later, she came to my Taihang Mountain by chance and bewitched me.
But now it seems that the ill-fated relationship between him and Ye Ling'er is all because that old Yama was so careless, letting Ye Chen, who was sealed in the spirit jade, fall into the Reincarnation Well and become the mortal woman Ye Ling'er, causing the current disastrous consequences.
I thought to myself, I should have given that King Yama a good beating when I saw him in the King Yama's palace last time to vent my anger.
"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice suddenly came from above my head.
As I looked up, I met a pair of bright, somewhat surprised eyes, but they quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold expression as he stared at me.
Without a doubt, it was Wen Heng, but when I lowered my eyes, I saw him standing straight in front of me, holding the Soul-Slaying Sword in his hand.
I was still traumatized by that sword wound, and my body instinctively took two steps back. My voice trembled slightly, but I tried to remain calm as I said, "You...you...you're not going to stab me again, are you?"
Wen Heng's eyes darted around as he concealed the sword behind his back, then he sneered, "You had the guts to come here looking for me? What? You've turned into a turtle again after seeing me?"
My lips twitched involuntarily: "Heh, this joke isn't funny at all!"
"This is not a place for you, get out of here! Don't interfere with my search for my soul!" Wen Heng's tone suddenly turned cold and ruthless as he shouted at me.
Although I was mentally prepared to be treated with hostility by Wen Heng, when I heard him shout like that, I felt a mix of emotions and a bitter taste in my mouth.
But now is not the time to worry about these things; the important thing is to help him find the rest of his soul.
When Ye Ling'er said she hid Wen Heng's soul, could it be related to this Dream Spirit Pearl?
