Chapter 61: Killing Tuan San If I had to give up my obsession, I would rather not...
It was dark all around, and he held her tightly in his arms.
His warm breath sprayed on her ear, and he said softly: "To release the seal, you must get my consent."
"But I will never agree to this. How can you solve this?"
His voice became lower and lower, almost like a whisper, gloomy and cold, as if he would haunt her until death.
He said, "Even if I die, you can't remove this mark."
"Even if I die, you will never be able to form a bond with anyone else."
"Even if I die, you will never be able to erase my traces..."
Ji Lingche's scalp tingled at what she heard. She tried to pry his hand away, but it felt wet and slippery, stained with blood. When she touched the wound on his hand, he groaned in pain, but refused to let go. He held her tighter, saying word by word, "Please, don't leave me."
Ji Lingche felt distressed when he heard his tone. He placed his hand on his and said, "Qu Wuji, don't you understand?"
She just said: "I won't give up on you."
"Even if I die, I will die with you. Do you understand now?"
She turned around, facing him, looked up into his eyes, and said, "If I wanted to get rid of you, why would I come here to save you?"
Her eyes sparkled, as if quenched by broken stars, and she said seriously, "Listen, I don't want to lose you."
Qu Wuji stared at her blankly, as if he didn't believe what he had just heard. After a long pause, he said softly, "Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "If you can't hear clearly, forget it."
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around when he grabbed her shoulders and said, "Alan, is what you just said true?"
He didn't seem to want to hear the answer. His hand slid down her shoulder to her neck, pulling her towards him. He lowered his head and leaned forward. Seeing that she didn't resist, he kissed the corner of her mouth.
His breathing became heavy, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and whispered, "I want to hear you say you love me."
Ji Lingche looked at his face and raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, but his hand froze in place. He only said, "Does this matter?"
Qu Wuji held her hand. In the dim light, his expression could not be seen clearly. He only looked at her and said, "Even if you lie to me, it's fine."
He had wanted to hear these words for many years, almost going crazy. In the years since her death, he had imagined countless times that she would come back to life and say these words to him. Even if it was just a lie, he would be willing to do it.
Ji Lingche laughed and said, "It's not easy to get what you want."
"Maybe I'll say this to you someday, sometime, someday, someday, or maybe I'll never say it to you."
"So, it depends on your performance."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked forward, thinking to herself, "Let me think about how to get out of here first..."
Suddenly, I heard him whisper behind me: "But I love you so much that I am going crazy."
He slowly caught up with her, walked up to her and said, "I've been crazy since the first time I saw you, you know."
"I've wanted to hear you say you love me for almost a hundred years."
She turned to look at him, who was looking at her in a trance. Suddenly, he said, "Did the Nightmare Demon in the Nightmare Realm just now say this to you?"
Qu Wuji said calmly, "I'm trapped here. When I first met the Nightmare Demon, I was so foolish as to think you were the one looking for me. It wasn't until he pierced my chest with a sword that I realized everything was just a dream."
"It's hateful that those things keep coming to kill me, but no one says they love me."
Ji Lingche felt a pang in her heart when she heard him say that. Then she thought about how this man's first reaction when he saw her was to embrace her...
He had been seriously injured by the Nightmare Demon countless times, but his first reaction when he saw her was to hug her tightly.
She was a little speechless, and only said: "Shang Zheng, you..."
Qu Wuji said: "If I hadn't fallen into this place, I wouldn't have known that I had so many inner demons. If you hadn't saved me, I would have fallen into the devil even if I didn't die."
"The immortals advocate cutting off delusion and having no anger or resentment. If we talk about character, I think I, Qu Wuji, am not qualified."
"When I was young, I often thought that I might have the chance to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven. But now I think, whether I ascend or not, what does it matter? If I had to give up my obsession, I would rather not become an immortal."
He tilted his head to look at her and said, "Even if one day you must kill me, I will willingly submit to your slaughter and die at your hands, dying of delusion."
Ji Lingche said after a long pause, "Don't say that. Even celestial beings have the five signs of decay. Who doesn't have delusion?"
"I don't believe in destiny, and I won't kill you."
Qu Wuji smiled, his eyes curved, his sharp features softened slightly, and he appeared quite gentle. He said, "I'm very happy if you say that."
He thought to himself, what if you really kill me?
You just said that if I died, you would hate me forever and ever until you died.
You will imprison my soul in your sleeve and prevent me from reincarnation.
That would be great.
As long as you remember me forever.
Even if it is endless hatred.
...Ji Lingche, do you dare to say you don't love me?!
He lowered his eyes and looked at her affectionately, but said in his heart: Alan, don't ever think of getting rid of me.
Ji Lingche didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that his eyes were mixed with a subtle madness, so he sighed deeply and said, "Okay."
"Let's not talk about this for now, at least let's get out of here first--"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and a silver butterfly rose from her palm, then flapped its wings and slid away.
She said, "Follow this silver butterfly and you will definitely be able to get out."
The Nightmare Realm is extremely dangerous only for those who travel alone. If they travel in groups, the obstacles will be greatly reduced. Moreover, Qu Wu Ji has now calmed his mind and suppressed the inner demons.
Compared to when Qu Wu Ji first came in, this Nightmare Domain has been weakened by 70 to 80 percent, because Ji Lingche severely injured the Demon Lord in the Abyss of Eternal Ashes, and his spiritual consciousness was turbulent, so this Nightmare Domain is not as big as before.
Qu Wu Ji dispersed the surrounding black smoke with just one or two sword strikes, and then the two of them followed the silver butterfly and rushed towards the weakest point of the entire Nightmare Domain.
She suddenly remembered something and said, "Aren't you in the Demon Suppression Tower? How did you get dragged into this Nightmare Realm?"
Qu Wuji said, "I was in the tower at the time and I actually saw the treasure thief. In order to chase him, I went down to the Abyss of Eternal Abyss."
Ji Lingche was shocked: "Did you see who that person was?"
Qu Wuji said: "That thing used the golden elixir to deliberately lure me down. It's hard to tell whether it is a human or a puppet. It's my fault for being too careless and falling into such a trap."
Ji Lingche said, "I only know that this matter is probably related to Yin Su, and other members of the Immortal Alliance are also involved. Once we get out, we will definitely catch them one by one."
Qu Wuji said, "I'm afraid that the Demon Suppression Tower has been breached while I was away."
"Before I descended into the Abyss of Eternal Ashes, I sent a message to the Immortal Alliance asking them to send someone over, but there's no guarantee they'll arrive, or be able to defend the tower..."
Just when Ji Lingche was about to tell Qu Wuji to stop saying such discouraging words, the two of them had already reached the edge of the entire Nightmare Realm, which was also the place where the Demon Lord's will was weakest. Since they had reached here, it meant that they were already quite far away from the Demon Lord, and the two of them had most likely already left the Abyss of Eternal Ashes.
The demon lord's nightmare domain couldn't trap the two of them, which showed that Ji Lingche's sword attack was really enough to hurt him.
I think he must regret sending Ji Lingche here.
Ji Lingche watched the silver butterfly gradually disappear without a trace, then he formed a sword gesture and pointed forward. The darkness seemed to be torn open in an instant, and white light suddenly leaked out. Qu Wuji followed closely with a sword, and the violent sword wind tore open the hole, revealing a whole piece of light.
That light was both rebirth and the unknown. Ji Lingche suddenly hesitated. She was afraid that if she went out, she would see the Demon Suppression Tower collapsed, demons rampant, and corpses scattered across the land...
Suddenly, her hand was held tightly and felt cold.
She was stunned for a moment, and felt Qu Wuji pinching her hand. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt relieved. Then he pulled her forward and she walked out of this nightmare side by side with him.
......
It was already bright outside, but the sun was nowhere to be seen.
Although the rain had stopped, the thick dark clouds covered the sun completely, making the entire sky appear extremely low.
Ji Lingche had just escaped from the nightmare realm when he felt a buzzing in his head and everything went dark in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but sway, but was caught in an embrace.
Qu Wuji asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Ji Lingche: "...It's okay, just a little dizzy."
She slowly opened her eyes and saw that they were standing on a large blood-red seal, with the entrance to the Abyss of Eternal Ashes right beside them.
Ji Lingche looked at the seal beneath his feet and murmured, "Thinking back to the past, I died here."
Qu Wuji's hand, which was lightly placed on her shoulder, tightened unconsciously, causing her shoulder to hurt. She hissed, and he just realized it and whispered, "I'm sorry, I—"
From where the two were, they could vaguely see a magnificent Taoist temple in the distance. Over the years, the original splendor of the temple had been stripped away, and it looked pale, but its aura remained undiminished. The pretentious paintings faded, and the true colors of the bricks and stones emerged, making it appear even more divine and majestic, as if a white unicorn was lying there.
Ji Lingche stared at the temple, but didn't know what to say. His heart was surging with emotions, but in the end, he just let out a long sigh.
Thinking back to how powerful I was in the past and comparing it to how miserable I am now, who can not feel a little sad?
Behind the temple, there stands a tall spire that reaches into the sky.
Ji Lingche looked at the tower for a long time and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking, at least nothing serious happened and he finally made it back.
She looked at Qu Wuji, and they smiled at each other, feeling a sense of mutual understanding and sympathy after surviving a disaster.
She was about to say something when suddenly, she heard a loud noise in the distance!
Ji Lingche turned her head abruptly. In her field of vision, she saw that the towering tower suddenly began to collapse layer by layer, like a building block, disintegrating and collapsing at the same time.
What filled her ears were the excited screams of countless demons.
The sound struck her eardrums inch by inch, as if it was going to pierce through her entire sea of consciousness.
Drowned over the sound was the frantic beating of her heart in her chest.
