"But I must remind you, Lord Demon Ancestor, that I am not like the weak little white rabbit beside you. I can bite. If you keep me locked in this iron cage, you will not raise an obedient canary, but a venomous snake that will bite people to death."
"Either kill me or let me go. When did the Demon Ancestor, whom everyone fears, become so indecisive?"
"Why has the Demon Ancestor imprisoned me in this dark and sunless underground palace? Could it be that he still loves me?"
Her nonchalant attitude fueled Ji Gui's anger to its peak.
His cold, deep voice carried a suppressed anger and despair that had been building up for who knows how long.
"Feng Xie, you don't love me at all! You don't love me at all! You don't love me at all!"
"I should have killed you! Feng Xie, even if you die, you can only be mine!" Ji Gui waved his hand, and a powerful force instantly uprooted the iron cage that was trapping Bi Xie, making a cracking sound.
Ji Gui forcefully lifted the woman off the ground, his fists clenched so tightly that the creases on the back of his hands were clearly visible, and his wrists trembled slightly.
He didn't know whether he was tormenting her or himself these days.
All he knew was that his master wouldn't look at him anymore, and he was going crazy.
Bi Xie pursed her lips and remained silent, gambling on her place in Ji Gui's heart.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death.
If she wins the gamble, she can continue living; if she loses, she will have gained three lifetimes for nothing, and she should be content.
Suddenly, the man who had grabbed her collar began to laugh maniacally. Ji Gui pulled Bi Xie tightly into her arms, his warm breath, slightly hazy, spraying against her ear: "Master, I don't care who you love. I've killed every man with crimson eyes in the entire Floating Light Continent."
“There are no more red-eyed men in the world. Even if you treat me as a substitute for that person, I am still the only substitute in this world. Please love me, okay? Why do I always feel that you don't love me at all, not even a little bit? Please love me, Master…”
Her cheeks seemed to be wet, and a strand of her hair clung to them.
Bi Xie's back stiffened, somewhat incredulous.
Ji Gui...cried?
Her gaze met that of the Nine-Hearted Moon Rabbit's crimson eyes, which held the same shock as hers.
No wonder the adults always leave at night, leaving her alone in the empty palace to create the illusion of being pampered.
No wonder the adults always smelled of blood when they came back in the morning.
The master actually slaughtered all the red-eyed men in the entire Floating Light Continent.
And her people...
Bi Xie was stunned for a moment, and Ru Hua began to roar wildly in his mind, "Holy crap! The big boss... this... this doesn't make sense! The big boss didn't get so angry that he chopped you down with one palm, but instead begged you to love him. This world is surreal!"
"And there's more! We were both fooled, sob sob! The big boss's nighttime encounters with several women that I saw with my Heavenly Eye were all fake, and the moans that Xiaolian overheard were also fake. I just retrieved the memories of the Nine-Hearted Moon Rabbit, and it turns out she was never favored by the big boss at all. She was just rubbing and kneading herself every day..."
"How could this be? How could my Heavenly Eye suddenly malfunction? This is impossible! Even if the Big Boss's magic is incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly block my Heavenly Eye. My Heavenly Eye was given to me by my master—"
"Master, shall we make up?" A hoarse voice brushed against my ear with each breath, tingling and pleading.
"Let's stop arguing. Wuyou won't mind that Master has liked someone else. Master, please don't ignore me anymore. Wuyou's body hurts so much, it's suffocating."
“It stops jumping when Master isn’t around,” he said, leading her hand to his chest as he wept.
Bi Xie had already calmed down quite a bit during this period. Hearing him coax her in a low voice, like a little animal whimpering, even though she knew he might be pretending to be weak, she instantly lost all her temper.
The image of Ru Hua was still exploding in my mind, and my little brain, which was programming machine code, was full of question marks.
Si Tong was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
This... this is the usually aloof and serious Lord Ji Gui, who keeps strangers at bay?
Is she dreaming?
Bi Xie poked the man's broad back with his finger, muttering with some grievance and resentment, "You've locked me up for so long, do you think a few words of coaxing will be enough? First, unlock my ankles."
When Ji Gui heard her tone soften, the tension in his heart was eased.
Bi Xie had exerted tremendous effort, wearing down the ground without damaging the iron chain, but it was easily reduced to dust in the man's hands.
Bi Xie: "..."
"What are you doing?" Bi Xie suddenly exclaimed as Ji Gui lifted him up around the waist.
Ji Gui looked at the girl he had lost and found, his gaze lingering on her ankles, which were purplish from being bound by anklets. He lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice, "Master, I'll take you back to get your medicine."
He can't live without her.
What has he been doing these days?
He actually injured his master's porcelain-white and delicate ankle.
That's it. He made up for the part of her love that she didn't have by loving her even more.
He was grateful that he was strong enough that even as a substitute in his master's heart, he was a unique substitute.
“Wait a minute,” Bi Xie said.
Glancing sideways at the dumbfounded Si Tong, Bi Xie casually pointed and said in a nonchalant tone, "You two slept together?"
Ji Gui felt as if facing a formidable enemy. He hadn't been this nervous even when he pointed his sword at the Eight Great Immortal Sects a thousand years ago. He stammered, "No...no, my wife, I really didn't touch them. I burned aphrodisiac incense to create the illusion of lovemaking. In reality, I sneaked out every night to kill them..."
Bi Xie narrowed his eyes, his tone devoid of emotion: "She just put her arm around your waist, and you didn't refuse. Last time by the hot spring, you hooked that female demon cultivator's chin."
"My wife, I was wrong," Ji Gui said, extending an index finger. "I touched it with this finger last time. Even without you saying it, I felt disgusted with myself. I washed my hands a hundred times after I got back. If you still think it's not enough, then I'll chop this finger off, swallow the Regeneration Pill, and grow another one."
Pfft.
Look at his serious and earnest expression; he's someone who does what he says.
Bi Xie smiled for the first time in nearly half a year, then pursed his lips and asked, "What about the waist? Was it cut off and then regrown?"
Ji Gui frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded.
"The demon race has a secret method that allows them to revive their bodies as long as they still have a heart. If my wife is truly concerned, then I will change my body, but it may take my wife some time to wait."
He was naturally unwilling to use this secret technique, because once it was used, it meant that he would have to leave his wife for a period of time again.
In addition, it takes time for him to grow, and he was afraid his wife would dislike him if he was too small.
Furthermore, the two had finally reconciled, and he didn't want to be separated from his master again.
