Chapter 126: The God Emperor is furious with Donglin. Nothing happens that night.
Nothing happened that night in Donglin. The next day, Li Youyang went to bed early as usual and soon fell asleep. Han Shun watched cautiously by his side. The ghost bride did not move until the early hours of the morning. Instead, it started to rain outside.
When Han Shun stood up to close the window, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a loud thunder, and the original drizzle instantly turned into a downpour.
Why is it raining in this ghost bride's territory? I was puzzled when I suddenly heard Li Youyang's scream. I quickly moved over and saw that Li Youyang's face was pale and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.
"Li Yuan! Li Yuan!"
Han Shun frowned slightly. He had a really good relationship with Bei Liyuan. She even called his name in her dreams.
"Li Yuan! Have you forgotten me? Where are you going?"
"You said it so firmly during the day, I thought you were really not afraid, but it turns out you were just pretending."
Yu Luo patted Li Youyang lightly, wanting to say something comforting, but found that no words came out. Could he tell his sweetheart to rest assured that Bei Liyuan was fine? That was definitely not going to work.
Li Youyang struggled more violently, and his muttering became more sad and desperate.
Han Shun clenched his fist silently: "This won't work. Youyang, Youyang? Wake up."
Li Youyang didn't react at all, so Han Shun could only increase his strength and push Li Youyang. Only then did Li Youyang wake up from the dream, but he looked at Han Shun and burst into tears.
Han Shun clenched his fists distressedly. Li Youyang looked so helpless and pitiful at the moment that he couldn't help but pull him into his arms and hugged him tightly: "Choose me. I will never make you sad, and I will never let you worry and be afraid like this."
Li Youyang did not struggle, just let him hold him, crying silently. He didn't know when, but Li Youyang fell asleep, with tears still hanging on his long eyelashes.
Han Shun was reluctant to let him go, so he held him and lay on the bed until dawn.
When they both woke up, Han Shun quickly let go of them: "You had a nightmare last night, so I..."
Li Youyang interrupted coldly: "Sorry."
Han Shun was stunned. He thought Li Youyang would be angry with him, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually apologize to him.
Li Youyang continued, "I also had nightmares before, and Li Yuan was always there to help me through them. Last night, I probably mistook you for him. I shouldn't have done that."
Han Shun said anxiously, "I don't mind. If it can make you feel better, I'm willing to be his substitute."
Li Youyang smiled and said, "I never thought that the great Shura God would be willing to be someone else's substitute."
Han Shun was stunned. Li Youyang's smile was really beautiful. If he could see such a smile every day, he would be willing to die.
At night, Li Youyang lay down first, then moved inside: "You come too, if you keep guarding, the ghost bride will not appear."
Han Shun was flattered: "You..."
Li Youyang said coldly: "You don't want to? That doesn't matter, I..."
Han Shun hurriedly lay down on the bed. Fearing of offending the other person, he deliberately kept a distance and lay sideways on the edge of the bed.
Li Youyang smiled and said, "You act like I'm bullying you. If you fall and get hurt, it's my fault. Move in."
Han Shun said hurriedly: "It's okay... I..."
When he said this, he felt Li Youyang pulling him closer to him, and he was leaning directly against Li Youyang. His heart started beating like a drum instantly.
Li Youyang asked again: "Your heart is beating very fast, are you nervous?"
Han Shun: "I...I..."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Go to sleep."
Han Shun: How can I sleep like this?
Soon he heard Li Youyang's regular breathing, and couldn't help but turn over carefully to look at him. The distance between them was very close now, so close that he could kiss each other if he just moved a little closer.
Looking at the other's sleeping face, Han Shun became more and more nervous, his eyes became more and more fiery, and finally his rationality collapsed bit by bit. Han Shun, why are you so timid? Just a sneak kiss, you won't be discovered.
Han Shun raised his head slightly and slowly moved closer. Just when he was about to reach him, he finally got scared and retreated. "With such a good opportunity, why are you pretending to be a gentleman?"
At this moment, Li Youyang began to mutter again, his tone was sad and desperate, which made people feel particularly pitiful. Han Shun didn't care about anything else and hurriedly hugged him in his arms, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Youyang slept more peacefully because of this, but Han Shun felt even more uncomfortable. He had never experienced love, and now he was hugging his beloved. His body was already clamoring, and the picture albums and dreams he had seen kept appearing in his mind. Finally, the last string broke. At this moment, he wanted him.
Then he turned over and pressed the man under him, lowered his head and kissed Li Youyang's lips. It was as sweet as he imagined. Li Youyang was awakened by him and wanted to break free, but Han Shun didn't give him a chance...
A whole night passed before Han Shun let the woman go. He didn't know how many times he had taken advantage of her that night, but it was never enough.
"I will take responsibility. We will become Taoist companions after we return."
Li Youyang was silent.
Han Shun clenched his fists: "At this moment, are you still thinking about Bei Liyuan? Are you still unwilling?"
Li Youyang said hurriedly: "No... I just... that's all, let's talk about it later."
"In the future?"
Han Shun hurriedly pulled her into his arms: "We've already come this far, do you still want a future?"
Li Youyang remained silent. Han Shun clenched his fist and kissed him fiercely: "If you don't agree, I won't let you go."
Li Youyang sighed: "Forget it! I'll listen to you."
Han Shun was overjoyed and hugged Li Youyang: "Today is the happiest day of my life."
Li Youyang curled his lips: "Really?"
Han Shun nodded: "I am willing to die if I can have you."
Li Youyang smiled and said, "Even if you want to die for me, are you willing?"
Han Shun nodded.
Li Youyang's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent: "Then you will die!"
Before Han Shun could react, Li Youyang suddenly stabbed at his heart with a dagger. Just as he was about to be stabbed, Han Shun suddenly felt someone pulling him from behind and he dodged. At the same time, a sword seal killed Li Youyang who was holding the sharp blade.
Han Shun was horrified and said in a deep voice, "How could you kill him? I want you dead!"
However, Li Youyang's cold voice came to his ears: "Quiet."
Han Shun was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had entered someone else's illusion. It was when he closed the window and it was raining. Then he felt a little disappointed. He said that how could Li Youyang be so gentle to him, when he usually didn't even bother to give him a glance.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Youyang casually threw an outer robe to him. Han Shun then realized that he was now naked and it was so embarrassing, so he quickly put on his clothes.
Li Youyang continued, "I heard that you are the second-ranked god in the God Realm?"
Han Shun nodded.
A hint of disgust flashed across Li Youyang's eyes.
Han Shun coughed awkwardly twice and said, "I'm not usually like this. It's just that I accidentally fell into the trap of the ghost bride this time."
Li Youyang was too lazy to listen anymore and said coldly, "Go back."
Han Shun was slightly stunned.
"I have to take care of you here, which is really troublesome."
Han Shun hurriedly said, "I promise I will never hold you back again. Believe me."
Li Youyang said coldly, "If we only talk about combat power, the Ghost Bride is indeed no match for you. You can even kill her with just a flick of your finger. But this is her territory, and she attacks the heart. You should understand what I mean."
Han Shun remained silent and insisted, "I understand. I promise this is the last time."
Li Youyang frowned: "If it happens again, I won't save you again."
Han Shun said quickly: "Okay."
After returning to the inn, Han Shun really didn't dare to be careless this time. Li Youyang was sitting by the window, obviously in a very bad mood, and Han Shun didn't dare to talk to him.
Why does it feel like Li Youyang's aura is even more powerful than that of the God Emperor when he's angry? When the God Emperor is angry, he dares to say a few words, but when Li Youyang is angry, he dares not even breathe. Just as he was about to say something, Li Youyang suddenly stood up.
"I've had enough. Why do I have to suffer here for some strangers?"
After a sound, Li Youyang's sword quickly moved, and a blood-colored formation enveloped the entire inn. When he was about to move again, the ghost bride howled: "You dare!"
Li Youyang said coldly: "Do you think I dare?"
The next moment, the ghost bride appeared. Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly and he immediately set up a formation to seal her, and broke the domain almost at the same time.
Han Shun was stunned: "How is this possible!"
Li Youyang looked at the ghost bride and said, "What unresolved obsession do you have? Just tell me. If I can do it, I will help you. If I can't, I will help you to be liberated."
Han Shun: ...
The ghost bride murmured, "My Taoist partner died on the day we got married."
Han Shun was slightly startled: "This shouldn't cause such a big resentment, right?"
The ghost bride chuckled: "I killed him with my own hands."
Han Shun: ...
The ghost bride continued, "He promised me that he would be with me forever, but on our wedding day I found out he had a child with someone else. He married me just to take my golden elixir and give it to that child. Tell me, shouldn't I kill him? Shouldn't he die?"
Han Shun: "Since you've killed him and avenged him, why are you still unwilling to leave?"
The ghost bride began to cry softly: "But I really love him."
Han Shun: "This..."
Li Youyang said coldly, "What do you love about him? Do you love him for being fickle, for wanting to kill you, or for letting you become a mother?!"
The ghost bride was slightly startled. Li Youyang continued, "Is it worth committing such a sin for such a bastard? He has already been reincarnated. Maybe he is holding a beautiful woman in his arms right now. You are such a fool, but you are still fantasizing about marrying him and wasting your time!"
After he finished speaking, he pointed his sword quickly and a door appeared in the void.
"Hurry up and go to the underworld to work and repay your sins, then be reborn as a good person."
Before the ghost bride could react, Li Youyang moved his sword again and threw her behind the door.
Han Shun was dumbfounded. Is it possible to be liberated in this way?
"What are you standing there for? Go back."
Han Shun said "oh".
Just as the two were about to leave, the God Emperor suddenly appeared and said, "The Water God's method of salvation is quite unique."
Li Youyang frowned: "The God Emperor is quite idle."
The God Emperor curled his lips and said, "The God of War is dead. I thought I should give you a husband as compensation. What do you think of the Asura God?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "I dare not accept the Divine Emperor's kindness."
The God Emperor curled his lips: "That is not up to you."
Then a formation enveloped the entire Donglin: "Now that the Ghost Bride has appeared, I think Donglin should have more Taoist companions. Water God, please don't waste the love formation I worked so hard to set up."
Li Youyang's sword finger moved slightly: "Let the God Emperor enjoy this thing himself."
The moment he finished speaking, a teleportation array appeared behind the God Emperor and kicked him down. "To be honest, I have really tolerated you for a long time."
The God Emperor's eyes darkened, and he swung his sword forward. Li Youyang was about to move when Han Shun stepped between them. "I love the Water God and naturally won't go against his wishes. Please don't interfere."
The God Emperor sneered, "How naive you are! Why didn't I see you so naive before?"
Han Shun was slightly startled, and the Divine Emperor had already slammed him with a palm: "Since it is so useless, then prepare to die!"
Han Shun hurriedly set up a formation, but it shattered in just a moment. Just when Han Shun thought he was about to die, Li Youyang pulled him. Han Shun suddenly woke up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is this...another illusion?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Dream within a dream."
Han Shun said solemnly, "This ghost bride is so powerful. How are you? Are you injured?"
Li Youyang shook his head: "What kind of illusion did you just experience?"
After Han Shun relayed the story, Li Youyang frowned slightly. The ghost bride probably didn't have such great ability. It seemed that someone else was behind this.
In the Divine Emperor Palace, the Divine Emperor looked at the two people reflected in the water mirror and raised his lip. "Without experiencing life and death, how can friendship be born? But Han Shun is really useless. I gave him several chances to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but he ended up being the one being saved every time."
He then entered countless dreams, and each time it was Li Youyang who woke Han Shun up. The God Emperor flew into a rage: "Is Li Youyang's Dao heart made of stone? How can it be so stable? Well, since I can't disrupt his Dao heart, I'll just kill him."
…
Han Shun woke up from his dream again. He was almost driven mad by the torture. "Don't let me catch this ghost bride, or I will definitely save her soul."
Li Youyang rubbed his eyebrows. He couldn't remember how many levels it was. Generally speaking, dreams within dreams can only reach the ninth level at most. It can be seen that the person behind the dream has a high level of cultivation. Moreover, this dream was obviously directed at the Shura God. Who did this person offend to be so cruel?
Thinking about it, he looked at Han Shun and asked, "Do you have any powerful enemies?"
Han Shun: "I had many enemies, but I killed them all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge sword print fell from the sky and hit Han Shun. Li Youyang hurriedly took Han Shun to dodge.
Han Shun was completely annoyed: "I'm really convinced! This is not going to end!"
Then he swung his sword, and with a loud bang, the barrier shattered. A huge puppet stood in front of the two of them like a towering mountain. Han Shun took up his sword and fought with the puppet.
Li Youyang watched the battle from a distance with his arms folded.
After more than a dozen rounds, Han Shun was slightly injured, and the puppet was more injured, but the puppet was unconscious and felt nothing. As long as it was not destroyed, its combat power would remain unchanged.
"It's really unfair for the Water God to just watch the Shura God fight the puppet."
A cold look flashed across Li Youyang's eyes. "I thought the enchantment illusion was set up by Han Shun's enemies, but I didn't expect it to be the work of the Divine Emperor."
"I didn't expect Han Shun to be so useless. I originally wanted to give him more opportunities to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but he ended up falling for my tricks instead. Since I can't bring you together, I might as well just kill him."
Li Youyang frowned: "Are you going to kill Han Shun too? He treats you..."
The God Emperor interrupted with amusement, "What's the point of keeping useless trash?"
Li Youyang's eyes turned cold.
"Why, the Water God has set his sights on Han Shun. Hearing that I want to kill him, you can't bear it? It's easy to save him. Just give up Bei Liyuan and become his Taoist partner."
Li Youyang sneered, "Does the God Emperor think I'm some kind of good man? Whether the Shura God lives or dies is none of my business. I just didn't expect the God that everyone looks up to would be like this."
The God Emperor laughed. "Gods are ordinary cultivators who cultivate through continuous practice. What's the difference between them and humans? Hmm... there's one thing: Gods are more indifferent and more likely to achieve their goals. Actually, the Water God could save his life by becoming a Taoist partner with Han Shun. If possible, I still don't want to take your life. Li Yuan would hate me forever, and I don't want to end up as a couple with him."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Resentful couple. The God Emperor has a beautiful idea."
Then he stepped forward and kicked Han Shun away: "I'm in the way!"
At the same time, the sword fingers moved quickly, and several formations locked the puppet like invisible chains. Then Li Youyang sent out the soul-calling banner, and countless evil spirits and resentful souls poured into the puppet. The puppet's power immediately increased several times. It immediately broke free from the formation and slashed at Li Youyang with a sword. Han Shun was shocked: "Be careful!"
The giant sword was blocked by Li Youyang's protective formation halfway. At the same time, the sword finger moved quickly, and a blood-colored formation enveloped the puppet. A constant stream of evil energy poured into the puppet from all directions.
"Youyang! What are you doing!?"
The God Emperor looked at Li Youyang in the water mirror and a smile flashed across his eyes: "This is the first time I've seen someone seeking death on his own initiative. Thinking of using evil energy to break the puppet is simply a foolish dream."
As the evil spirit poured in, the puppet became more and more powerful. The shield on Li Youyang's body began to crack. Han Shun hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Seeing the giant sword falling, Han Shun screamed. Just when he thought Li Youyang would be chopped into ashes, the puppet suddenly disappeared.
Han Shun: ...
The God Emperor was also startled. When he was about to look for it, with a loud bang, the giant sword fell down. The God Emperor hurriedly formed a formation to block it, but he was still injured and spit out blood!
As he dodged and retreated, he was furious: "Li Youyang, how dare you!"
Li Youyang said coldly: "Why not? You gave me such a big gift, so I must return the favor."
Hearing the furious voice of the God Emperor, Han Shun realized that Li Youyang had actually teleported the puppet to the God Emperor's Palace, and hurriedly left.
When he returned to the Palace of the God Emperor, it had been smashed to pieces. Although the giant puppet was destroyed, the God Emperor was also seriously injured. This was the first time that Han Shun saw the God Emperor in such a miserable state.
Han Shun hurried over to help the God Emperor up, but the God Emperor angrily shook off his hand.
Such a big commotion attracted quite a few people.
Li Youyang came over at the same time and said coldly, "Why is the God Emperor in such a mess?"
The God Emperor sneered: "What does the Water God think?"
Li Youyang bowed and said respectfully, "The situation was urgent just now, so I had no choice but to teleport the puppet away. However, it was extremely difficult to deal with. After much deliberation, I realized that only you, the Divine Emperor, could handle it. That's why I teleported the puppet here. I didn't expect that thing to actually injure the Divine Emperor. I was inconsiderate, and I beg your punishment."
"Really? You drew so much evil energy into the puppet, aren't you intentionally trying to increase its combat power..."
Li Youyang interrupted hurriedly: "This... I originally wanted to use evil spirit to break the puppet, but later I found that this puppet is special and cannot be broken by evil spirit at all. This is... my fault. Please punish me, God Emperor."
The God Emperor sneered twice: "The Water God has been forced to do this. If I punish him again, it would be too inhumane."
Li Youyang said respectfully, "The Divine Emperor is truly benevolent and righteous, and impartial. Thank you for not punishing me."
The God Emperor silently clenched his fists, his fingertips sinking deep into his palms. Li Youyang, this emperor will make your life a living hell.
At this point, all the gods that had gathered around dispersed.
After returning to the Water God Temple, Han Shun looked at Li Youyang worriedly. He really didn't expect Li Youyang to be so bold. Although the God Emperor did not pursue the matter openly today, he knew that after what happened today, the God Emperor would never let Li Youyang go. It was ridiculous that he thought that his higher cultivation level could prevent this person from doing anything out of line, but in the end, the other person turned around and smashed the God Emperor Temple. It relieved his anger for a while, but what about the future? How should he deal with it?
Li Youyang said coldly, "Do something for me."
Han Shun: "What's the matter?"
"When rebuilding the God Emperor Temple, arrange for one of your men to be assigned."
Han Shun was stunned. He really thought Li Youyang had deliberately destroyed the Divine Emperor Temple to vent his anger, but it turned out that he was trying to find Bei Liyuan's whereabouts. "Okay. I will do my best to find Bei Liyuan."
"What do you want to do with him?"
Han Shun: ...
"Didn't you ask me to arrange people just to find Bei Liyuan?"
"He came out on his own after I served him. Don't worry about him. I want to do something about the God Emperor Palace. He let you enter so many levels of dreams. Don't you want to return?"
Han Shun:?
"Instruct that person to secretly place this talisman in the God Emperor's bedroom."
Han Shun: ...
Li Youyang gave people the impression of being cool and steady, and no one expected that he would play such a trick to tease people. But who is the God Emperor? If this talisman doesn't work, it will probably be found. It doesn't matter anyway, so it won't hurt to put one down.
"It's not difficult, but can you promise me one thing?"
"explain."
"If you destroy the God Emperor's Temple, the God Emperor will definitely make things difficult for you. I hope you can avoid it and avoid a head-on conflict with the God Emperor."
Fearing that Li Youyang might misunderstand, Han Shun quickly added, "I'm worried that you might get hurt."
Li Youyang said coldly, "If he doesn't provoke me, I won't take the initiative to provoke him. But if he does, I won't indulge him. As for the talisman, you can do it if you want. If you don't want to, I have a way."
Han Shun sighed and took the talisman: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
…
The Palace of the God Emperor was rebuilt very quickly and was restored to its original state in just half a month. Something happened to the God Emperor on the first night he lived in the Palace of the God Emperor. He almost drowned in his dream. He quickly found the talisman and could guess who made it. He took the talisman to the Water Temple that night.
"The Water God really doesn't want to suffer any loss at all?"
Li Youyang waved his sleeve lightly, and the talisman disappeared into nothingness: "Who wants to suffer for no reason?"
The God Emperor said coldly, "If the weeds in the wilderness stay put, they can still survive. But if they are restless and insist on growing into the yard, they will have to be eliminated. The Water God should understand this."
Li Youyang said coldly, "How can a delicate flower in a greenhouse understand the vitality of wild grass? The God Emperor should stop messing around. Be careful not to destroy the greenhouse and die in the wind and rain."
"Ha... Really? I hope the Water God can be so eloquent next time."
"I have no problem, but the God Emperor is old and needs to be well taken care of. If something goes wrong... I will have no choice but to eat the feast."
The God Emperor clenched his fist, sneered, and turned away.
