Chapter 96 Bei Liyuan wakes up in the study, and Fu Guangjun is...
In the study, Fu Guangjun was having a headache over the official documents handed over by the demon clan. In the past six months, the demon clan had gradually returned to normal. Although the official documents had decreased a lot, they were still piled up on the desk.
Fu Guangjun had just finished reviewing last month's official documents. He rubbed his brows and couldn't help but sigh, "Life was so much better back then!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the entire study was split in two. The documents he had just approved turned to dust. However, Fu Guangjun was not annoyed, but shed tears of joy.
Li Youyang walked in with his sword in hand: "Should I call you Fu Guangjun or Demon Lord?"
Fu Guangjun clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and stood up. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. "I am the Demon Lord, but I am also Fu Guangjun. It's true that I bear the responsibility for the survival of the demon race, but it's also true that we have a thousand-year friendship. Li Youyang, no matter what you decide, in my heart, you are my most cherished friend, and that will never change."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Really? I didn't realize you considered me your most cherished friend. Ever since we met, you've had countless opportunities to tell me the truth, but you've always kept it a secret. Even after I lifted the seal on the demons, you remained silent. But if I had mentioned it to you, things wouldn't have come to this."
Fu Guangjun nodded. "Yes, I was the one who kept it a secret. I didn't trust you enough. I admit it was my fault. So, how do you plan to punish me? I have only one thing to say: short of breaking off our friendship, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"That's really nice of you to say, Fuguang-kun. You know my master is soft-hearted and will definitely not punish you harshly."
Nangong Liuchu and Lie Wushuang originally wanted to hide away, but they heard a loud noise halfway. Worried that Li Youyang was really fighting with Fu Guangjun, they hurried back and just happened to hear these words.
Nangong Liuchu crossed his arms and said, "Exactly. If Master asked you to eat a bucket of shit every day for a month, would you eat it?"
Fuguangjun:! ! !
Li Youyang: ???
Lie Wushuang: ...
"Well... I was just joking, just joking."
Fu Guangjun raised his hand and pushed Nangong Liuchu and Lie Wushuang back. "I do owe your master, but I don't owe you anything. Youyang, what do you say?"
Li Youyang said in a deep voice: "Take your things and go back to the demon world, and never show up in front of me again."
Fu Guanjun clenched his fist and said, "I said, except for breaking up, I accept everything else. It seems that you haven't thought it through yet. It's okay, think about it carefully. Come to me when you have thought it through. I'll be waiting for you here."
Li Youyang frowned, obviously displeased.
If it were before, Fu Guangjun would have just acquiesced and left, but now, after all he had experienced, he knew he couldn't leave Li Youyang. Even if he died, he would die at Li Youyang's hands. Since it had already come to this, what was the point of saving face? He couldn't count on Li Youyang to love him in this life, but he was also bound to Li Youyang in this life. No one said that if he didn't like his loved one, he had to leave her.
"You don't have to be so angry. I'm really thin-skinned when I need to be proud, but now that I'm facing you, I've decided to be shameless. I'm going to stay here even if I die. You can't drive me away."
Li Youyang asked, "Where's Yao Chi?"
Fu Guangjun lowered his head and picked up the still-usable memorial. "He's fully recovered. I had my subordinates try some medicine on him for half a year as compensation. We've already talked it over, and our friendship remains. Occasionally, I'll bring up the fact that he had a crush on me to annoy him..."
Before he could finish, Li Youyang had already turned around, and Fu Guangjun quickly followed him: "What about us, Youyang, after going through so much, you..."
Li Youyang stopped and looked at him: "I'm not as magnanimous as Yao Chi, I'm sorry."
Fu Guangjun was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you live, I live too, and this rift will be repaired one day."
"Now that Li Yuan's condition has stabilized, I plan to take him on a journey. Once he wakes up, I'll find him a place to retreat and never reenter the world again."
Fu Guangjun couldn't help but clench his fists: "Are you serious? What about the Red Fire Clan? Are you going to ignore them?"
Li Youyang laughed at himself, "I always thought I was omnipotent, but after going through this, I realized I'm just one of the creatures in the Nine Provinces. The survival of the Nine Provinces is not something I can control, and even without me, someone else will stand up."
Fu Guangjun was silent.
Li Youyang looked towards Bei Liyuan's room and said, "Do you know how much I regret this period of time? I regret that I acted on my own, that I never saw how Liyuan felt about me, that I said I valued him, but in reality I always put him last. Now I just want to put him first. I will accompany him in doing what he wants to do, and stay away from what he hates. I will love what he loves and hate what he hates."
Fu Guangjun's fingers dug deep into his palm. If he had put aside his so-called face and dignity earlier, before Li Youyang met Bei Liyuan, would he be the one standing in front of Li Youyang now? "So, today, you are here to say goodbye."
Li Youyang nodded and said, "Tell Yao Chi for me that you and I were the culprits of what happened half a year ago. He was just innocently implicated and doesn't need to feel guilty towards me."
After saying that, he walked towards Bei Liyuan's room. Fu Guangjun couldn't help but take a step forward. This separation might be for the rest of their lives, but in the end he didn't stop him. He could give up everything, without shame or dignity, but he couldn't even find an excuse to follow Li Youyang.
In the end, he just smiled and turned back to the dilapidated study: "It's appropriate, but who can I blame? You were the first one to know him, you couldn't bring yourself to do it, you were timid and cowardly. What's the point of figuring it out now? He's completely his, so he deserves it."
That night, Li Youyang took Bei Liyuan away.
It was already the second day when Nangong Liuchu and Lie Wushuang discovered it.
"Master is so mean! Even if he was planning to travel, he should have told us. He ran away so quietly that I even doubted whether I was his real disciple."
Lie Wushuang stretched lazily: "I've been delayed for so long, I should continue my travels."
"Ah? Senior Brother, I'll go with you then. Don't leave me here alone. Before Master came, it was deserted, but now after going through so much, it's inevitable that I'll be saddened by the sight of it all."
"Okay, then pack up and we'll leave tomorrow."
That night, Nangong Liuchu took a pot of wine and sat under a tree to drink it alone. As he drank, he began to cry.
"Nangong Liuchu, why are you howling? Can't you let me sleep in the middle of the night?"
Lie Wushuang frowned and walked to his side.
Nangong Liuchu looked at the moon and asked, "Do you think Master and Junior Brother will come back?"
Lie Wushuang took the wine pot and said, "We will meet again if fate allows. Maybe we will meet when we travel, or maybe we will come back many years later."
"What if there's no fate?"
Lie Wushuang flicked Nangong Liuchu's head, "How could we have this experience without fate? We will meet again. And no matter how resolute the master is, if the outside world really invades, he will definitely re-enter the world. During this period, we should improve ourselves. Next time, don't be like this time and be unable to help at all."
Nangong Liuchu hummed, then suddenly asked, "Big Brother, who do you think is on top, Master or Junior Brother?"
Lie Wushuang frowned, threw the wine jug to Nangong Liuchu, and turned away.
Nangong Liuchu was stunned for a second and muttered, "Master must be above. After all, Master is strong enough."
…
On a cruise ship on Slender West Lake, Li Youyang gently embraced the sleeping Bei Liyuan: "Liyuan, you said you wanted to come here to take a look. Now that we're here, do you like it?"
Yu Luo sighed silently and kissed Bei Liyuan's black hair gently: "Liyuan, I miss you so much."
A year later, Li Youyang was staring at Bei Liyuan in a daze when snow suddenly began to fall outside. Li Youyang stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the falling snow, he couldn't help but sigh, "On the cold lamp and paper, the pear blossoms are covered with cool rain. I have waited for another year of wind and snow."
"I was only in a coma for a year, where did Master come from?"
Li Youyang's fingers trembled slightly as he turned around hastily. In his panic, he almost fell. Bei Liyuan supported him in time, then hugged him tightly in his arms, saying distressedly, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Li Youyang was choked with sobs, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he burst into tears. He had never thought in his life that one day he would cry like a child.
Bei Liyuan raised his hand and stroked his black hair, saying softly: "Be good, don't cry, I won't do that again. I promise, I will never let you wait for me alone again."
But Li Youyang still couldn't stop crying, and Bei Liyuan just hugged him like that.
…
Early in the morning, Li Youyang struggled to get up with pain all over his body.
Bei Liyuan had already prepared breakfast: "You're awake now, come and try it. I haven't made it in a while, I wonder if my cooking skills have deteriorated?"
Li Youyang hummed, walked to the table, looked at the porridge, and couldn't help crying again.
Bei Liyuan panicked: "What's wrong? But I was too exhausted last night, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Li Youyang's ears turned red and he shook his head: "I just feel so happy. I was just dreaming before and I was afraid that I was dreaming again, but the pain in my body told me with certainty that you are awake and everything is real... Hmm"
Bei Liyuan sealed Li Youyang's lips, gave him a passionate kiss, and whispered softly in his ear, "Silly boy, yes, I'm back, I'm awake, this is not a dream, not a dream, not a dream."
Li Youyang hummed with a choked voice.
Bei Liyuan silently clenched his fists. Just how much damage had he done to his treasure this time? It actually made such a strong-willed person become so cautious and insecure.
That night, Bei Liyuan did nothing but hugged Li Youyang and fell asleep. But he knew that Li Youyang had checked his breath and pulse more than once, and even probed into his spiritual breath to check his soul consciousness. Sometimes he would suddenly wake up from his sleep, and sometimes he would turn over and check worriedly.
Bei Liyuan could only pretend to sleep peacefully, but his heart was already broken. Looking at Li Youyang who had finally fallen asleep, his eyes were full of distress and pity. He wondered how long it would take for this wound to heal.
