name
"Cangze, if you want to live, change your name! Also, your poison can't kill Wuhuan, so don't waste your energy anymore. Wangyue is in the Netherworld's other shore flower sea, and I'm there too," Cui Heng said indifferently. He stopped and gestured for the Bad Guys to leave alone.
This was his final instruction to the real Cangze, and it would only be given once.
The bad guys immediately became alert, staring at Cui Heng warily like a startled cat.
Few people in this world know his real name, but this demon not only knows his real name but also knows Wu Huan.
"Who exactly are you?" the Bad Guy asked in a low voice, pondering to himself. He then extended two fingers, gathering spiritual energy at their tips to create a gentle breeze.
In Wangyue Pavilion, the only people who know about his affair with Wuhuan are Wang Xiaoxia and Wangyue. Xiaoxia is already in dire straits, so he is naturally aloof and would never discuss this matter with anyone. Wangyue is also never a gossip. If he is not one of them, then he must be one of Wuhuan's people! That's it! He can move freely in the Ghost King's Palace, so he must have a special identity. And a demon with such cultivation must be at least over a thousand years old. Is he an old person from a thousand years ago?
If that's the case, why rescue him today? Wouldn't that be redundant?
Cui Heng glanced at the Bad Guys' hand as they were about to strike out of the corner of his eye, then turned his head away and chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
“Go ask Wangyue! Tell her I will find her in seven days,” Cui Heng said coldly.
The villain kept his eyes fixed on Cui Heng. For so long, this demon had been deliberately avoiding talking about Xiao Xia. His intuition told him that something must have happened to Xiao Xia.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxia?" the Bad Guy asked immediately.
Cui Heng's expression immediately turned cold again, and he remained silent.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxia!" the Bad Guy asked again, growing increasingly anxious.
Cui Heng remained silent, which made the Bad Guys anxious and increasingly uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he finally headed straight for the Underworld.
Wang Xiaoxia! You must live!
"Cang Ze! I'm sorry," Cui Heng murmured to the back of the Bad Guys, then turned around with a cold face and headed back towards the Ghost King Palace. He had more important things to do.
The villain seemed to hear the monster whisper something, but when he turned around, he only saw the monster's back. He didn't have time to think, and with Wang Xiaoxia's comfort in mind, he hurriedly headed towards the Netherworld.
Soon, in the sea of blood-red spider lilies, the Bad Guys found Wang Yue and Wang Xiaoxia lying on the ground.
Wang Xiaoxia's body was covered with blood-red spider lily petals, but despite the crimson color, her face remained as pale as paper, devoid of any color. She lay there quietly, motionless, with a blood-red candle burning above her head.
"Wang Yue! What happened to Xiao Xia? Is he injured?" The Bad Guys rushed to Wang Yue's side and asked hurriedly, their eyes fixed on Wang Xiao Xia.
She looked exactly like she was dead.
"Dead," Wang Yue simply said.
She sat quietly beside Wang Xiaoxia's body, guarding her corpse with eyes full of sorrow. Anyone who saw her shocking scars would feel sorry for her past. Her life had been even more difficult than her own.
The word "death" struck the Bad Guys like a thunderbolt.
"How could this be!" the Bad Guy murmured, staring in disbelief at the corpse before him. His body went limp and he slumped down in the sea of flowers, his eyes staring blankly into the endless darkness.
"Didn't she have the Puppet Gu? How could she die?" The Bad Guy muttered to himself, feeling remorse again. It was all his fault for not protecting Wang Xiaoxia, which led to her dying alone in revenge!
“She jumped into the River of Oblivion, and even the Gu poison can’t save her from it,” Wang Yue said.
She seemed to accept Wang Xiaoxia's death very quickly, never showing any sadness or heartache over it, even though they were best friends.
The Bad Guys were immediately deflated; the River of Oblivion was not a place for the living.
"How could she jump into the River of Oblivion? A mortal like her would surely die if she jumped into the River of Oblivion!" the Bad Guy said, his eyes beginning to show despair.
He had no relatives left and had never dared to open his heart to anyone for a hundred years. He finally met Xiaoxia, with whom he could open his heart, but she died! Was it possible that everyone around him would eventually leave him? The more the Bad Guy thought about it, the sadder he became, and tears welled up in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and pounded the ground with both hands until his hands bled.
Seeing this, Wang Yue immediately protected the candle above Xiao Xia's head, afraid that the silly boy would accidentally blow it out.
"Alright! Stop crying and go somewhere else to pound your fists!" Wang Yue turned her head away and fiercely ordered the Bad Guys.
The bad guy immediately stopped crying and looked at Wang Yue with some confusion, suddenly realizing that she was acting strangely.
"The monster who saved me told me to tell you that he will come in seven days," the Bad Guy said, his eyes brimming with tears as he looked at Wang Yue, remembering the incident.
Wang Yue's unusual behavior suddenly made him feel that Xiao Xia might still be saved. If there really was a chance, that would be wonderful!
"Wang Yue, is there any hope for me?" the Bad Guy asked, gripping Wang Yue's sleeve tightly, his eyes fixed on her.
"I can't guarantee it either, let's wait seven days!" Wang Yue replied, sighing as she looked heavily at Wang Xiaoxia's corpse.
Wang Xiaoxia's face was still ashen and pale. Although her body was covered with spider lilies, the strong stench could not be masked. The bloodstains all over her body had congealed into a blackish-red color. Her body had long since died. Even if her soul was rescued from the River of Oblivion, what would it cling to?
Upon hearing this, the villain felt a glimmer of hope return to his heart; perhaps, he still had a chance to survive.
"Wangyue, who is that monster?" the Bad Guy asked again, feeling puzzled as he recalled what Cui Heng had said to him before leaving.
Why apologize to him when everything is fine? And how did he know that Wu Huan stole his name?
Wang Yue sighed, thought for a moment, and finally decided that she should tell him.
“He is a Bai Ze. I saw that he has the token of the Demon King Clan on his waist. I think that the illegitimate son of the Demon King who was lost a hundred years ago and returned with the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron must be him,” Wang Yue said. That was all she knew. The matter was of great importance and she could not make unfounded guesses that would affect the Bad People’s own judgment.
However, ordinary demons like the Demon King cannot give birth to the ancient demon beast Bai Ze.
“A hundred years ago, my father was killed by a demon. Later, the demon prince died while searching for the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. My adoptive father was wrongly accused of being the culprit. The demon king broke with my adoptive father, and this illegitimate son appeared at this time and returned with the cauldron. His arrival was too coincidental! Bai Ze knows everything from a hundred years ago, even my and Wu Huan’s identities. He must be someone close to Wu Huan! Wu Huan relied on my father to survive at that time. He couldn’t have killed my father by himself. So the one who killed my father must be this Bai Ze!” The Bad Guy said thoughtfully, his tone becoming increasingly resentful.
The murderer of his father, whom he had been searching for for a hundred years, stood brazenly before him, and he didn't even recognize him! The hatred for the murderer of his father was irreconcilable; he should have killed that monster back then!
“Bad Man, Wu Huan has now gained power. You cannot kill him on your own, let alone an ancient demon beast. I asked that demon beast to refine the Soul-Guiding Wax. Right now, saving Xiao Xia’s soul is the priority,” Wang Yue reminded him from the side.
When the Bad Guys were covered in blood, they crawled all the way from the glacier to the Netherworld Ferry. It was Wang Xiaoxia who picked them up and healed their leg wounds. However, the Bad Guys were filthy at the time, and Wang Xiaoxia was forgetful. So she forgot about the incident after healing them. Wang Yue saw that they had some cultivation, so she kept them in Wang Yue Pavilion as a menial servant.
The Bad Guys always remembered Wang Xiaoxia's kindness and silently stayed by her side for decades, watching her attempt to commit suicide again and again only to come back to life each time.
At first, Wang Yue didn't pay much attention to him, since the people of Wang Yue Pavilion all had some unspeakable past. However, Wang Yue accidentally discovered him laughing during a lotus dance, not a silly laugh, but a mocking laugh.
Wang Xiaoxia cannot dance; she is naturally uncoordinated. So, to cover up her defect, she always uses illusion drugs to bewitch everyone present. Whether they are guests or servants of Wangyue Pavilion, they will all be under the illusion and become immersed in Bu Shenglian's dance.
Wang Xiaoxia has no other skills, but he is first-rate in making medicine. In the past hundred years, no one has ever been immune to hallucinogenic drugs, except for this rogue.
"Why didn't you take the hallucinogenic drug?" Wang Yue asked with some surprise, noticing that she was paying attention to the Bad Guys for the first time.
The scoundrel smiled faintly, and with a nonchalant air, casually said:
"I was exposed to all kinds of poison in the glacial lands and almost died."
He spoke lightly, but a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes. It was the first time Wang Yue had learned about his background and the intricate connection between him and Xiao Xia.
The fiancée of the villainous Wang Xiaoxia, whom he had been betrothed to since childhood, was Siye, Wang Xiaoxia's mother. This marriage was arranged by Siye's mother before her death, so Chongli attached great importance to it. After Siye's mother passed away, Chongli never remarried, and Siye was his only daughter. Years ago, Siye fled from the Ghost Realm to the Human Realm because she was infatuated with Wang Xiaoxia's father. Chongli sealed the Ghost Gate to stop her, but this caused the pregnant Siye to force her way through the Ghost Gate, injuring the fetus in her womb. Wang Xiaoxia was born without a wisp of her primordial spirit, and Siye used all her cultivation to repair it and save her life.
However, Wang Xiaoxia's weak soul was unable to control such powerful spiritual energy, so she was not born without magic power but was sealed by Siye.
These were the things Si Ye told Wang Yue when she came to Youming Ferry before she died. At that time, she found Wang Yue when she returned from the Ghost Realm and passed through Youming Ferry. She told Wang Yue that she was about to face a calamity, which would determine whether she lived or died. If she died, she would leave behind a daughter in the mortal world. The daughter had her thousand years of spiritual power in her body, so her soul would not perish. If the child passed through Youming Ferry, she begged Wang Yue to let her stay and give her a place to live.
