"I absolutely will not allow my beloved Ling'er, that beautiful and pure young girl, to be replaced by an old man, especially since she has such foul breath and dares to call me 'Brother Chen'..."
"How dare she? How dare she?!"
You were completely stunned.
[Chen Siling, filled with murderous intent: "So I killed her, burned her to ashes, and buried her in the village—my Ling'er is gone, she died long ago while waiting for me."]
"I bowed at her grave, paying my respects to my Ling'er, but sadly she will never come back." Chen Siling's grief was overwhelming, tears streaming down her face.
【you:"……"】
You take a deep breath: "Your Ling'er passed away three years ago, right?"
"No!" Chen Siling growled, "She left long ago, not long after I left the village! The one who died three years ago was just an old monster who possessed Ling'er's body and made her ugly!"
Yun Shou covered his face with one hand: "Now Yun Jiu doesn't have to slap herself every night."
Such a beast is truly rare.
"Oh." You nodded. "Then where is she buried? I'll go with you to pay our respects."
You went to Hangtianling—Xiaoli Village outside Shunian City. You looked silently at the small burial mound that had been built only three years ago.
After the memorial service, Chen Siling truly treated you like a brother, because no one else could understand him.
"I don't understand either!"
"You're only holding back for now, so I can give you a real treat!"
[Chen Siling stated that he was indeed responsible for the recent tragic incident involving a young woman.]
"Why should my Ling'er become an aging monster, while those women live young and beautiful?! They must be punished!!!"
[You remained silent for a long while, then displayed your extraordinary cultivation. The energy within a radius of several hundred meters was entirely under your control. Chen Siling was startled; you had never manipulated energy on such a large scale in front of him before, so he had always assumed you were also a Xiantian (innate) cultivator.]
You pat Chen Siling on the shoulder: "Brother Chen, I consider you a brother, so I naturally understand you and want to help you—go ahead and do whatever you want with your revenge. If you're pursued and can't fight back, just come find me on the mountain peak where I usually stay!"
"I will definitely lend a hand when the time comes!" You patted your chest sincerely. "I guarantee it. My brotherly affection for you is just as deep as your unwavering love for Ling'er!"
Chen Siling was deeply moved.
"Ahhhhh, Brother Yun!"
"Brother Chen!"
[You turn around, and a powerful burst of energy erupts from a radius of 600 meters!]
The clouds drifted, and the sky was crystal clear.
Chen Siling placed her hand on your chest, and their eyes met.
[Chen Siling (laughs)]
You (froze)
Chen Siling: "Thank you."
You laughed along too.
Yun Shou: "Huff—"
It's really too much to ask of Lao Jiu to keep acting like this!
Two weeks later, Chen Siling sneaked into a village late at night.
He'd been watching that girl for three days. She looked so much like him, so very much like his Ling'er.
[The same youthful beauty, the same vivacity, and the same childhood sweetheart.]
"Why can you live so carefree and always have a smile on your face? Why?!"
[Chen Siling used her spiritual power to soundproof the room, and he grabbed at the girl—]
"You audacious thief, surrender now!?"
Suddenly, justice descended from the heavens; a powerful hand of elemental energy grabbed him, yanked him out of the window, and hurled him far away.
"It's a celestial being!" Chen Siling was terrified. Forget everything else, her only priority was survival. She unleashed her full power and charged towards the mountain where you usually reside.
[Boom boom boom!]
Along the way, he was brutally beaten by the mysterious celestial being. Although the being could have easily locked him down and killed him outright, it chose to toy with him like a cat playing with a mouse, gradually driving him to his death and reveling in the thrill of his desperate escape only to meet his inevitable demise.
But Chen Siling knew that this celestial being was wrong!
He also has his sworn brother, Brother Yun. Brother Yun treats him just as he treats Ling'er. As long as he gets to that place, Brother Yun will definitely come to his rescue!
"Foolish Celestial Being, your current charade is actually the key to my future victory!"
Yun Shou: "Don't laugh at the challenge, it's kind of interesting."
Chen Siling was severely injured, vomiting blood, and his vital energy was gradually being depleted.
[Crack! His leg was broken, and most of his ribs were also broken.]
He is currently depleted of his Yuan energy, and the little Yuan energy he has absorbed from his surroundings is only enough to sustain his life.
As his mobility decreased, the Celestials stopped chasing him so closely; sometimes, when he looked back, he couldn't even see the Celestials.
[Splash! Gold rains down from the sky.]
[Chen Siling was covered in excrement, her body reeking of filth. Hearing the strange laughter of the celestial beings behind her, she felt only humiliation.]
However, that mountain range is just ahead, only a few dozen miles away...
[Click!]
He lost another leg and can only crawl now.
However, the physique of a Xiantian-level martial artist is extraordinary; even crawling on their hands and knees with their severely injured body, they can still travel at over a hundred meters per second.
As they finally approached the mountains, Chen Siling couldn't help but shout, "Brother Yun! Brother Yun!"
"You... no, it's the mysterious celestial being who's been tormenting and playing tricks on him all along: 'Go ahead and yell, yell! I want to see who your Brother Yun is that he'd save you, you scum!'"
[Chen Siling crawled through the mountains, fleeing and screaming for most of the night, barely recognizable as human.]
He gradually despaired, not even noticing that the Celestial Beings pursuing him had disappeared sometime earlier; he only kept calling out for his Brother Yun.
Brother Yun has appeared.
The dark clouds dispersed, and moonlight streamed down, draping you in a veil of light.
Like an angel of salvation.
Chen Siling finally escaped her desperate situation, and he rushed forward with overwhelming joy: "Brother Yun, his Brother Yun has finally arrived!"
His figure froze in mid-air, locked in place by the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
His crooked nose, distorted mouth, swollen eyes, broken ear, broken leg... and covered in excrement and mud, his disheveled and inhuman figure was frozen in mid-air.
You frowned: "What are you? Are you calling me?"
Chen Siling sensed that this wasn't what she expected and hurriedly said, "Brother Yun, it's me! It's your brother Chen!"
[You angrily exclaimed: "How could this be? My brother Chen is dashing and handsome, how could you, this ugly cripple, possibly be him?!"]
[You cover your nose: "Covered in feces, it stinks to the core! How is this possible? How could my brother Chen be so filthy and disgusting!?"]
Chen Siling could only desperately explain, "No, that's not it! I was beaten up like this, I was harmed like this, it really is me, Chen Siling, Brother Yun!"
[Your coldness revealed your murderous intent: "Shut up! I absolutely will not allow my beloved Brother Chen, that handsome and dashing brother, to be replaced by a rotten piece of trash, especially since you are covered in excrement and yet you dare to call me Brother Yun..."]
"How dare you?! How dare you?!"
