Chapter 161: Joy brings nightmares
“What if I can’t wear it?”
Qi Ningzhu was worried about this issue, everything else was fine.
Today she just vaguely felt that she was moved, but she couldn't be sure.
More of it is about escaping.
Escape from Bai Yunshu's love, escape from his own love for Bai Yunshu, and escape from the guilt brought by his identity.
Hearing her question, Bai Yunshu smiled indifferently, but deep in his eyes there was a fierce look brewing.
It’s not like she hasn’t thought about this problem, but she just doesn’t think it’s important.
Whether he likes it or not, his little disciple is bound to be in his grasp, right? So, whether he likes it or not is not important at all.
Even if she doesn't like someone, she will control the insect to make her like him, and let the insect control her heart and her thoughts.
However, she couldn't say it clearly.
"If you can't wear it, then I will throw it into this river. As long as it can't be seen, it can't prove that my disciple has no feelings for me. If it can't prove it, then it must be..."
Her words were quite self-deceptive and could not be refuted.
After she finished speaking, she turned around to observe Qi Ningzhu's reaction, but her heart was completely at odds with her words.
Ningzhu, you'd better hope to wear it, otherwise the consequences will be serious. Your master will not let you be ruthless, but will make you addicted forever.
Sometimes, how can extreme hatred not be considered a kind of love? In that case, you can also wear it, right?
Hearing that Bai Yunshu chose to deceive himself, Qi Ningzhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
This doesn't seem right... She thought Bai Yunshu would do as written in the storybook, saying that if it cannot be worn now, then the master will wait until the disciple likes it and can wear it.
In the end, she just threw it into the river casually.
As far as she knew, drawing blood from the heart was extremely painful, and only the purest drop could be taken in a day to gather them together. Being able to give one drop was an excellent proof. Bai Yunshu gave a string, and if he couldn't take it with him, it would be lost?
Bai Yunshu is such a willful guy.
This really doesn't take your own blood seriously, and it must be so painful to take it. Doesn't he care about his own body at all?
Before she could refute, Bai Yunshu grabbed her wrist again and pulled it over.
She tried to break free, but it was too late.
Bai Yunshu was afraid that she would escape again, so he put it on her with a wave of his hand.
The red string made of green bamboo looked particularly beautiful on her fair wrist. The imagined falling off did not happen, but she wore it like an ordinary decoration.
Bai Yunshu stared at it for a while with a smile on his face.
"Look, it didn't fall."
She reached out her hand, tapped Qi Ningzhu's chest where her heart was, and said slowly, "Ningzhu, your heart is more honest than your actions."
My little disciple, don’t I understand that you are not what you say but what you mean?
Qi Ningzhu looked at the red rope, feeling both relieved that it didn't fall off and doubting her feelings for Bai Yunshu.
She is affectionate... The red string has already revealed everything, but there is hatred mixed in with the affection, which makes her unsure.
Do you really like it?
Qi Ningzhu, you're done.
She was now like she was in a fog, letting it pull her forward, unable to tell which direction she should go or where she was going.
Bai Yunshu likes her being like this. If this continues for a long time, his little disciple will become more dependent on him.
After all, in the fog, she is the only one who can make her find support and a sense of security, and she will do everything she can to deepen the fog.
After putting on the bracelet, Bai Yunshu seemed to be in a good mood.
After she withdrew her hand, she kept looking at the stars in the distance, her eyes filled with the brilliant night scenery.
Qi Ningzhu suddenly felt a little scared and tried to take the chain off, but it really didn't work. It was like it was born with her and there was no way to take it off.
It’s over, it’s over. I’m moved and emotional. How can I change my mindset that my master is about to become my Taoist partner?
She had never encountered such a thing before, and the storybook didn't teach her anything. It only said that joy was unconsciously approaching, accidentally looking at each other, and deliberately touching...
She stared blankly at Bai Yunshu. Bai Yunshu noticed her gaze and smiled sideways.
"Tonight, I will give you something even more special. I will grant you one wish. It can be anything you want."
As long as she can do it, it's fine.
As she spoke, Qi Ningzhu lowered his eyes and stroked the red rope on his wrist with his other hand.
This red rope is so tight, it represents Bai Yunshu's affection and love, she should not let him down.
Perhaps, I should learn how to respond to her love, how to love her, and how not to make her sad.
After all, my master is also a sensitive and humble person, and he has always kept things hidden.
She had noticed it tonight. Bai Yunshu was very cautious in his actions, afraid of upsetting her. He spoke softly and only asked for ordinary gifts, not daring to ask for too much.
She thought about it and decided to use this wish in the most important place, maybe it would be of great use in the future.
"Okay, thank you, Master, but please keep it for now. It won't be too late to ask for it later when I have made up my mind. Let's go, Master, and go somewhere else."
This time, she took the initiative to hold Bai Yunshu's hand and interlocked their fingers.
Bai Yunshu looked at her with a smile, his eyes sparkling with stars, and then he looked down at her hand holding his.
The young disciple took the initiative.
"Okay, Master agrees."
She held Qi Ningzhu's hand back, picked up the lantern she had given her, and walked forward with her.
The two of them walked down from the bridge and blended into the crowd, becoming the most dazzling couple.
On the way, Qi Ningzhu was rarely domineering and took her to linger at various stalls.
"Master, eat, come, try this."
She bought a lot of snacks for Bai Yunshu and put them in her mouth.
I don’t know why, but I just want to buy it and feed it to her mouth and let Bai Yunshu eat it.
Watching her eat it, she seemed quite satisfied.
In fact, Bai Yunshu doesn’t like to eat these, but he can’t resist her feeding him and opens his mouth to take them all.
She would not refuse anything given by her little disciple.
Bai Yunshu felt happy when he saw the changes in Qi Ningzhu.
No matter it was the poison or out of genuine joy in her heart, she accepted and remembered this brief moment of pleasure and would never forget it.
After the Lantern Festival was over, Bai Yunshu took her hand and slowly walked back to the inn.
On the way, because of the night wind, Bai Yunshu found a cloak and put it on her himself.
Yin Huan felt her tenderness and just smiled with pursed lips.
At this moment, the two of them were like ordinary lovers in the mortal world. There was no disparity in status, no moral constraints, and they only had each other in their eyes.
After Bai Yunshu put the cloak on her, the two of them chatted casually.
"Master, come to think of it, why did you help Shao Shuxuan? You didn't even tell me about your plan before, and I thought...Ashu was really dead."
She was curious, Bai Yunshu thought about it and touched her head.
"Because... I know how hard it is to be abandoned. Besides, love isn't easy. Besides, turning her back to normal means eliminating the evil spirit and demonic energy, right? We didn't do anything wrong in that regard. This is how the mission was supposed to be completed."
Qi Ningzhu didn't feel good about her words of being abandoned, and nodded approvingly.
It is indeed painful. The moment of being abandoned is heartbreaking and unbearable.
Outsiders would not understand this feeling, but she did.
After returning to the inn, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Due to the change in mentality, Qi Ningzhu, who used to always have her back to Bai Yunshu and be embraced by Bai Yunshu, now faces her face to face.
She huddled in Bai Yunshu's arms, and controlled Bai Yunshu's hands that were restless on her waist by interlocking their fingers.
Bai Yunshu has been unruly since he came back. He coaxed her to sleep and helped her take off her clothes with his own hands.
Although she knew that it might be useless to control her like this, she still discussed it with her in a low voice.
"Master, please take it one step at a time. I don't quite understand this..."
She blushed as she spoke, and Bai Yunshu kissed the corner of her lips.
"You don't need to understand. Just follow me. I will guide you and teach you how to do it. Okay?"
She patiently persuaded him, but Qi Ningzhu was not that stupid and did not want to be deceived by these two sweet words.
"That won't work...you have to understand."
She was shy, but Bai Yunshu didn't say anything and agreed to all her requests.
"Okay, if you want to understand, give your little disciple some time to understand, how about that?"
It is more important for Ningzhu to heal her soul as soon as possible. It will not be too late to teach her other things personally later.
Remember, teach her yourself.
Qi Ningzhu discovered that Bai Yunshu was now very easy to talk to and agreed to everything.
"good."
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Bai Yunshu slowly closed his eyes, but his dream was restless.
It was that two-choice situation again, forcing her to make a choice.
Ningzhu stood at the edge of the Demonic Abyss, covered in blood and with a look of misery in his eyes.
"You keep saying you like me? Is that true?"
The young disciple was questioning her.
Bai Yunshu saw her standing on the edge, his eyes full of worry, and he just wanted her to come over quickly.
"Yes, I like it very much, I like it very much, it's all true, believe me, little disciple..."
She said "I like you" many times in a row, but Ningzhu just looked resentful, looked at Tao Yiye behind her, and then raised her finger.
"Then you can avenge me and kill her. Okay, can't you even do that?"
Hearing this, Bai Yunshu turned around and looked at Tao Yiye who was standing behind him with a calm expression.
Tao Yiye looked at her calmly, holding a sword in his hand.
Tao Yiye handed the sword in his hand to her and spoke softly.
"Junior sister... I acknowledge everything I've done, but I can't watch you die. I raised you, we're family, and we've known and been together for more than three hundred years. I've watched you grow up, watched you cultivate, watched you rise step by step. I won't let you go."
Relatives...
Hearing her say this, Bai Yunshu looked at his little disciple.
"Ningzhu, listen to me..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Ningzhu ruthlessly interrupted him.
"Shut up, Bai Yunshu, how dare you call me Qi Ningzhu? You are weak, useless, and most of all incompetent. You can't protect me, you can't help me, and you can't even avenge me."
