Yun Ji's eyes turned cold, and he released his longsword, aiming straight at the female ghost lying on the ground. The female ghost dodged to the side, but the sword pierced through her arm and pinned her to the wall.
Ghosts are not human, but the pain of a wounded soul is greater than the pain of a wounded body. She let out a painful wail and chose to sever her own arm, then hurriedly turned into a wisp of mist and fled.
Yun Ji did not chase after him, nor did he look back at the scenery. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
After a long while, Feng Guang reached out and touched his arm, whispering, "Actually... I saw it when I used the Eye-Opening Spell..."
"Is that so?" His voice was neither cold nor indifferent, yet it felt extremely cold, a stark contrast to his usual smiling demeanor.
Feng Guang moved her lips again, and after a long while, she finally said, "I don't find it scary... and you don't need to mind."
“I don’t mind.” Finally, he turned to look at her.
His face was sculpted with distinct features, and his peach blossom eyes were hazy, captivating anyone who looked away. Everything about him was perfect, except for the burn mark on his right cheek, like a speck of ink on a blank sheet of paper. Everyone's first glance would be drawn to that speck of ink.
Feng Guang should have felt terrified, like seeing a faceless female ghost, but she didn't feel terrified at all. His nonchalant expression at this moment was like glass, beautiful, yet fragile.
"You..." She suddenly hesitated, unsure of what to say.
After a moment, he let out that familiar soft laugh again, "This is my true face. What Fengxue saw before was just a mask on my face."
Feng Guang looked up and realized that although he was smiling, his eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth. She bit her lip and slowly said, "This isn't your fault..."
“It’s my fault,” he said. “My father was a demon, and my mother was a human, so… I was born with sin.”
“But this has nothing to do with you.” He was stubborn, but she was even more stubborn. “I know that whether it’s a human-demon union or a human-monster union, it will be punished by heaven, and the punishment usually affects the offspring. But this is clearly not the child’s fault, nor… nor your fault.”
From the very first day they became disciples of the Ziwei True Lord, the Ziwei True Lord constantly warned Fengguang and Yanyu that in the Three Realms, people of different races who marry will suffer divine retribution, because this is Heaven's punishment. Sometimes the divine retribution will affect the couple, but more often it will affect their offspring.
Feng Guang initially thought Yun Ji was a cultivator like her, but when she used the Eye-Opening Spell, she discovered that Yun Ji possessed demonic energy, and she also saw the face hidden behind his mask.
Yun Ji listened to her words and smiled dismissively. "You wouldn't understand what divine retribution is, nor do you need to. Feng Guang, it's a real shame that you've had to see my... not-so-beautiful face."
"No regrets, this is the beginning of my true understanding of you..." After saying that, she felt that her words seemed a bit off, and slowly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her face burning red.
Yun Ji fell silent, then finally smiled and said in a cold voice, "Xia Fengguang, are you blind?"
Now that you've seen his true appearance, why are you still attracted to him?
