Chapter 335 Jinjiang
Yan Shixun thought of many possibilities of what might happen to Ye Li after he passed the trial, and he had even prepared for the worst, accepting the result that Ye Li might die in the trial.
But he didn't expect that Yeli didn't need him to look for it.
——As long as he stands there, Yeli will come to him.
Wherever he is.
Just as Ye Li had promised him.
Whenever he needs him, he'll be there.
Ye Li never failed to keep his word to him, and he fulfilled every word he said.
After hearing the charming voice coming from his ears and feeling the familiar solid embrace behind him, Yan Shixun slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shook violently, and he subconsciously held his breath, fearing that this was his illusion.
But the arms around his waist were cool and strong, and a familiar aura enveloped him, bringing enough strength and power to make him feel at ease...
If not Yeli, then who else could it be?
Yan Shixun was speechless for a moment, and in a daze he let Ye Li hold him tightly in his arms.
After a long while, he asked with a trembling voice: "Ye Li?"
"I am here."
Ye Li bent down slightly and rested his chin on Yan Shixun's neck. He rubbed his lover's delicate and slightly cool skin with contentment and sighed softly.
For him, what he seeks is not the vastness of the universe or the lofty nature of the heaven and earth; his ambition is not in the great path of heaven and earth.
His happiness and what he wants are from the same person.
——Yan Shixun.
Ye Li once devoted all his life and time to the battlefield where he fought desperately, and gave everything for the life he protected behind him.
Even in Fengdu for hundreds of years, he never relaxed for a moment, always silently stationed between yin and yang, life and death, so that the human world is not disturbed by ghosts, the wronged souls can appeal, and the evil ghosts can also get the most fair judgment.
The Lord of Fengdu has never owed the human world anything.
Instead, it was the human world that time and again exposed the most serious and ugly sins to Ye Li, using naked malice to disappoint Ye Li time and time again.
In the end, he gave up his hope for the human world and said that there was no hope for the human world.
But just when the last ray of candlelight flickering in Ye Li's heart was about to be blown out by the violent storm, the figure of the young boy appeared in front of him, shielding him from the strong wind and guarding the last ray of light, so that Ye Li did not completely lose hope in the world.
From then on, Yan Shixun became more important to Ye Li than the entire world.
He no longer loves this world that he had protected for a thousand years but also hurt him deeply. However, he loves Yan Shixun deeply and swears in the name of God, with heaven and earth as witnesses, that he will remain faithful until death.
And his lover loves the world.
In this case...then this world will still be a burden on his shoulders.
For the life that Yan Shixun was looking forward to, and for the people who have guarded his tomb for thousands of years.
Ye Li was willing to endure the excruciating pain and face his bloody past once again. He accepted and recognized himself again in the chaos and walked on the most rational and fair path.
Just as the road is cruel.
At this time, the tall body under Ye Li's black robe still had undried bloody wounds, and the pain remained in every inch of his muscles. He even had to grit his teeth and hold on to prevent himself from crying out in pain.
Ye Li didn't want Yan Shixun to find out about this. He was still brooding over what happened to the general before, and he would never let Yan Shixun discover his weak side and give something else an opportunity to take advantage.
In his opinion, there was no need to let Yan Shixun know.
He was well aware that while he was enduring the tests of heaven and earth, his beloved ghost exorcist was not having an easy time either.
They walked side by side on two different paths, and no one wanted to make the other worry, slow down the other's progress, or disappoint the other.
See you at the finish line then.
By then, I will show you a perfect me. I wonder if this is what you have expected?
Ye Li tightened his arms around Yan Shixun, and buried his head in the crook of Yan Shixun's neck. He breathed in the clean and sharp scent of his lover, which made him take a deep breath and indulge in the happiness of being undisturbed at this moment.
A smile appeared on his lips. The experience of being exhausted and then being refilled with even more intense and powerful strength made his body extremely tired. Even his eyes were half open and half closed. He just wanted to fall asleep while holding Yan Shixun.
This was the deepest happiness Ye Li could imagine.
It was like the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blowing through the valley in winter, which was enough to blow away all the evil spirits and cleanse the world. When spring came, it would be full of vitality again.
Whenever Ye Li thought about how he had forgotten Yan Shixun on the battlefield in the past, he felt an unspeakable fear of losing Yan Shixun.
This made him hold Yan Shixun's arms tighter and tighter, and he even wanted his lover to merge into one with himself.
Never separate again.
The force coming from the waist also made Yan Shixun frown, and he realized that something was wrong with Ye Li.
"Ye Li, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Shixun stretched his hand behind him and placed it on Ye Li's arm: "Are you injured, or is there something wrong with your soul? Let me see...hiss!"
Before Yan Shixun could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain from the back of his neck.
At the same time, the skin can also feel the moist coolness and the breath falling on the neck.
Yan Shixun froze.
Ye Li...actually bit his neck from behind.
In an instant, Yan Shixun forgot what he wanted to say, and his mind became a mess.
He opened his mouth, but only a few single sounds came out.
A blush started at the corners of Yan Shixun's eyes and quickly spread to his cheeks and earlobes.
For Yan Shixun, he had suffered serious injuries that ordinary people could not imagine, and he gritted his teeth and killed the evil ghosts to the end despite his injuries.
He once thought that no pain was enough to defeat him and that endurance was a common thing for him.
But Yan Shixun never expected that the wound caused by the teeth would be so noticeable that he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. All his attention was focused on his neck.
Countless counterattack plans flashed through Yan Shixun's mind. As long as he wanted, at this extremely close distance, he could easily throw Ye Li over his shoulder to the ground, and it would be easy for him to break free.
What's more, Ye Li had no defenses against him at all. Even the arms that embraced him were full of tenderness and love, unwilling to hurt him.
When Yan Shixun raised his beautiful hand with distinct joints to mid-air, he could no longer stretch it towards Ye Li, and his hand was shaking.
……never mind.
Yan Shixun sighed in his heart, and instead of grabbing Ye Li and throwing him over his shoulder, he gently placed his hand on Ye Li's hand and slowly interlocked his fingers with his.
"release."
Yan Shixun barely found his voice from his chaotic thoughts, tried to suppress the heat on his face, and said calmly: "Ye Li, let go, are you a dog?"
There was a smile in Ye Li's eyes, as gentle as the spring water in April.
He slowly loosened his sharp teeth, and after seeing the bright red tooth marks he had left on his neck, he couldn't help but move closer. His slightly cool and moist lips fell on Yan Shixun's neck, and he couldn't help but kiss him again and again, delicately and tenderly.
It was not until this moment that Ye Li's heart finally fell back into his chest, confirming that Yan Shixun was in his arms and no one could snatch his lover away from him.
Even the great way of heaven and earth would never allow it.
Ye Li hugged Yan Shixun and laughed softly, finally feeling that he had passed the trial and returned to Yan Shixun's side.
Facing such a Ye Li, even if Yan Shixun had a lot to say, he could only sigh and slowly ask him about what happened in the trial.
"Before you came back, the 100,000 soldiers of Fengdu had already accepted the corpse and re-integrated the past that had been cut off into themselves."
Yan Shixun's expression gradually became serious, and he asked solemnly: "What about you, Ye Li? What's your answer?"
"If you don't want to..."
Yan Shixun lowered his eyelashes slightly and looked at the coffin beside him.
I don't want to force you if you don't want to. I want to save this world, so I have to shoulder all the responsibilities. I trust you and am happy to be able to walk with you all the way.
But I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do.
What's more, this is a matter of life and death where failure would mean the annihilation of the soul.
Yan Shixun kept the unfinished second half of the sentence in his heart and said, "This is not the only way. If you don't want to, then I will find other ways."
"Shi Xun, you look pretty even when you lie to me."
Ye Li chuckled and exposed Yan Shixun's lie: "We all know that this is the only way to solve all problems in one fell swoop."
"Don't worry, Shi Xun, I have never been reluctant."
Ye Li lowered his eyes slightly: "How can I be unwilling to be with you?"
In the coffin, the corpse of the general who had fought a thousand years ago, which had never decayed at all, gradually began to collapse the moment Ye Li appeared, and turned into countless glowing light particles, which slowly rose up and flew out of the coffin.
These spots of light floated in the dark cave, like thousands of fireflies dancing around the two people.
This made Yan Shixun stand there in a daze.
No one can damage the bodies of ghosts and gods.
Except...the ghosts themselves.
This corpse disintegrated into countless light particles because of Ye Li's own will, and it stuck close to Yan Shixun.
Even if she had lost her human form, Ye Li's love for Yan Shixun would be revealed in the tiniest light and could not be hidden.
"you……"
Yan Shixun rolled his Adam's apple, and with difficulty but unable to conceal his excitement, he confirmed: "Ye Li, are you ready to become a great Dao?"
Needless to say, the power belonging to Ye Li spread out in circles, and the black fog filled the huge and empty cave hall, and continued to spread outward, sinking deep into the earth veins.
The heaven and earth shook slightly.
Many people speculated whether this was a small earthquake, and the forecasting agency was also puzzled.
Except Yan Shixun, no one knew that from this moment on, heaven and earth truly became one with Yeli.
His blood vessels are the veins of the earth, and their power supports the earth and prevents the sky from falling.
Tears appeared in Yan Shixun's eyes.
"At this moment, are you still thinking about the great principles of heaven and earth?"
Ye Li felt a little helpless.
But he knew very well what a brilliant and dazzling soul the one he loved deeply was, and Yan Shixun would never abandon his responsibilities, never.
And this is exactly his Shi Xun.
Ye Li laughed softly, causing vibrations in his strong chest.
His thin lips were close to Yan Shixun's ear, his breath fell on his lover's neck, and his suppressed breath was infinitely charming and tender.
"Shi Xun... I don't think about the Dao, I only think about you."
Yan Shixun opened his mouth, but his ears turned red.
