"He really left." Li Yunle watched Chu Beiling's figure disappear into the street, concealing the disappointment in her eyes. She took out a few pills from her sleeve and swallowed one.
The pain then subsided.
Li Yunle struggled to his feet, supporting himself against a pillar.
I'm going to find a place to rest.
Who knew that the next second, she was suddenly lifted up by the waist and looked up in shock.
"Chu Beiling, didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
"I..." Chu Beiling lowered his eyes: "Don't misunderstand, you saved me, so I should help you too. Li Yunle, you always say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."
"It was just to repay a debt of gratitude!" Li Yunle felt a sense of loss.
I returned to my lodgings.
Li Yunle went to sleep after taking the medicine.
Chu Beiling was in the room next to hers, already angrily pounding her head.
"Damn it, Chu Beiling, do you have any memory at all? You've already forgotten what that woman Li Yunle did to you."
Chu Beiling pressed his head down.
The scene of Li Yunle risking his life to save him in the flames appeared uncontrollably in his mind again.
A strange feeling welled up inside him.
But this feeling soon brought him unprecedented tension.
Gods cannot be moved by emotions.
Moreover, he is a deity.
Although he is now human, he cannot return to his original form.
But the people of the divine realm told him that it was only a matter of time before he returned to his rightful place as the God Lord.
So what is he now?
Chu Beiling was afraid that he would develop feelings for Li Yunle, so he forced himself to silently recite Li Yunle's shortcomings in his mind.
She was unreasonable and disregarded the wishes of respectable men, insisting on forcing them into marriage.
But Chu Beiling thought again that Li Yunle had saved him after all, and the reason he tied him up for the wedding ceremony was out of filial piety. He was also particularly cute and innocent-looking.
"Oh no, Chu Beiling, you spineless coward, you can't think about her anymore. In any case, you can't fall in love with Li Yunle."
After completing these construction tasks.
After confirming that Li Yunle was out of danger, Chu Beiling embarked on a journey alone to find the great demon in the City That Never Sleeps.
The great demon sealed itself away.
But so much time has passed that time and the years have long since erased any trace of the great demon's existence.
Chu Beiling took out his compass and searched all the way to the most desolate mountain in the city that never sleeps.
The mountains are teeming with wild beasts, and it's also dark outside, so the people of Never-Sleeping City generally avoid venturing into this area.
Chu Beiling cast a spell on the compass.
Check if there is any demonic energy in this area.
As expected, the compass began to fluctuate strangely. Chu Beiling followed the compass's indications and searched the area.
Then I saw Li Yunle.
At that time, Li Yunle was plucking tiger whiskers one by one.
Chu Beiling gasped.
"Li Yunle, it's you? Why aren't you coming over here?"
"That's what I should be asking you. Everyone goes their own way." Li Yunle clapped her hands, raising an eyebrow. "Chu Beiling, were you deliberately following me?"
"You're talking nonsense. Why would I follow you on purpose?" Chu Beiling's face darkened with anger.
Looking at the compass in his hand, he turned and left angrily.
"Hey, Chu Beiling, slow down! Ouch!" Li Yunle bent over, clutching her heart. "Chu Beiling, you're walking too fast. My heart is starting to hurt."
"Hehe, Li Yunle, what you're saying is really laughable."
"Why should I care about you?" Chu Beiling said this, but he slowed down and kept glancing at Li Yunle out of the corner of his eye.
I was afraid she hadn't caught up.
He knew that Li Yunle was skipping and hopping to his side.
Chu Beiling then realized that he had been tricked by Li Yunle again.
"Li Yunle." Chu Beiling's voice suddenly turned slightly somber.
"Don't be angry, Chu Beiling. You want to find that great demon, right? I have a way!"
“Look.”
In the frigid mountains, Li Yunle's clenched fist gradually loosened, and a firefly flew out.
“This firefly was a gift from my mother. It’s incredibly powerful; no amount of demonic power can escape its detection,” Li Yunle said.
The fireflies began to change direction and fly eastward.
"Quick, let's catch up with it!" Li Yunle grabbed Chu Beiling's hand and ran forward.
Her clear eyes were full of smiles.
Reason told Chu Beiling that he should break free from Li Yunle's grasp, but for some reason, his heart could not heed the call of reason.
"arrive."
The firefly stopped at a mass grave and then slowly landed on Li Yunle's shoulder.
She turned her head and belatedly realized that she was holding Chu Beiling's hand. She was overjoyed, but pretended to be embarrassed and let go of Chu Beiling's hand.
"I'm sorry, Chu Beiling. I was just too anxious. I was afraid of losing them."
"It's alright, I haven't thanked you enough for helping me time and time again." Chu Beiling's voice began to sound nervous.
The great demon was sealed inside the mass grave.
Chu Beiling was just about to break the seal.
"Wait." Yun Le raised her hand to stop Chu Beiling from casting the spell: "Don't be impulsive. Have you considered this?"
"What problem?" Chu Beiling asked, puzzled. He wanted to resolve the issues in the City That Never Sleeps as soon as possible.
Once the curse on the City That Never Sleeps is lifted, he can fulfill the last wish of the person who saved him.
Chu Beiling was traveling here when he was attacked by a monster. When his life was in danger, a child in the City That Never Sleeps saved him.
He was moved and asked the child who saved him what his wish was.
The child coughed up blood, only saying that he hoped the city that never sleeps could see the sun and warmth during the day.
Li Yun lowered her eyes, the gold hairpin on her head making a crisp sound.
"Chu Beiling, I understand how you feel, but have you ever thought that even if we break the seal, we haven't untied the knot in the great demon's heart?"
"Even if we release the great demon, what's the use? The great demon hates the people of the City That Never Sleeps so much, can you guarantee that he will break the curse on the City That Never Sleeps?"
Li Yunle possessed an extremely calm demeanor.
Chu Beiling looked somewhat like the white-robed man who had single-handedly subdued the gods at the wedding.
"Li Yunle, I admit you have a point, and I have indeed considered that, but too much time has passed."
"But after the seal was broken, the great demon did not cooperate. Putting aside whether you can kill him, Chu Beiling, after hearing your story, I think this great demon was not originally a bad person, and he is stubborn. You can't make him submit by using torture."
Li Yunle looked at the mass grave on the mountain.
The voices from those grave mounds grew low: "My father said, 'The one who tied the knot must untie it.'"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
"If we want to help the people of the City That Never Sleeps break the curse from the Great Demon, we should understand the story between the Great Demon and that human woman, instead of believing in this so-called story."
Upon hearing this, Chu Beiling developed a certain appreciation for Li Yunle.
Most of the women he had met were dull and obsessed with cultivation, and very few were as vibrant and intelligent as Li Yunle.
