Chapter 204: The Snake Demon's Obsession
She's not Aquaman, so how would she know?
"What to do?" Shu Huan asked sincerely.
Yao Xuan, "The first thing to do is to flood the Beast World Continent. The more land that is flooded and the wider the area, the more it can prove the power of the Sea King."
No wonder Yao Xuan didn’t want to be the King of the Sea. He killed so many lives, what a sin.
"I don't mind killing..." Xuan Ji seemed to have guessed what Shu Huan was thinking.
“Why is that…?”
Yao Xuan, "Of course it's for you."
After saying that, Xuan Ji left with the king, and the heavy sound of the door closing made Shu Huan realize that even if they escaped from the cage, they might not be able to get out.
What does "for me" mean? What does Yao Xuan mean by that? Shu Huan was completely confused.
Five orcs gathered around, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Shu Huan didn't want to bother with those five annoying guys, so he just lay down on the bed and caught up on his sleep.
After a long journey, Shu Huan fell asleep quickly. In his dream, the five orcs separated and quickly retreated in five directions.
Shu Huan thought for a moment, then chased after Wu Zhuo who was right in front of him...
Wu Zhuo ran very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shu Huan stood under the rose-tree arbor and looked around blankly. There were rockery, flowing water, a seductive little bridge, swaying lotus in the pond, and green willows by the pond.
Several girls with double buns and wearing short jackets and long skirts approached while talking and laughing, and immediately bowed when they saw Shu Huan.
"Young lady..."
Shu Huan nodded subconsciously, and the girls hurried away.
Was she dreaming about ancient times? Why did it feel so real?
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of piano coming. Shu Huan followed the sound through the bamboo forest and came to a white wall with green tiles.
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped with a clang, leaving only the chirping of insects in the ears.
Shu Huan was curious about who was the owner of the piano. She searched for a long time, but there was nothing nearby to help her climb up the wall. She wanted to summon the two funny people in the space, but found that she had no space at all and Momo was not there either.
I walked around the courtyard wall and found the gate was tightly closed.
Shu Huan scratched his head, wondering if all the skills he had cultivated through cultivation would be gone.
Shu Huan jumped up on her toes and floated over the wall. She landed on the ground, but before she could stand firmly, she saw a person sitting in a rattan chair under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, looking at her with a pair of vertical pupils.
"Wu Zhuo, why do you look like this?"
He was wearing a moon-white robe, with black hair hanging down to the ground, his face was gaunt and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
This is not the evil-minded Wu Zhuo at all, he is just a weak and cute young man.
Shu Huan stared at the familiar pair of vertical pupils again and examined them carefully...
The eyes can't lie. The eyes that should have been full of ferocity now have a touch of open-mindedness, making them less gloomy.
"Please go back, young lady, or your elder brother will see you and punish you again."
Big brother? Little miss? She had a really interesting dream.
Shu Huan deliberately teased Wu Zhuo. He walked over, took the guqin in front of Wu Zhuo and threw it on the ground. He sat on the platform and faced Wu Zhuo.
"Why did you lead me here?"
Shu Huan and Wu Zhuo were nose to nose. Wu Zhuo wanted to hide, but he leaned back and Shu Huan moved forward, teasing him with a pair of dark eyes.
Wu Zhuo panicked and tried to stand up by supporting himself on the armrests of the rattan chair, but he could only sit back down dejectedly.
Shu Huan heard the rattling of chains and looked down. He saw that there was a fine steel chain locked around Wu Zhuo's ankle, and the other end of the chain extended into the simple thatched hut.
This scene suddenly brought back Shu Huan's memories...
Her father died in battle at an early age, and her mother died soon after due to excessive grief, leaving the four siblings to depend on each other.
When my eldest brother was fifteen, an enemy country invaded. He put on his father's armor and went to the border for ten years before returning.
When he came back, the eldest brother brought the dying Wu Zhuo and brought all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to the palace, and they managed to save Wu Zhuo's life.
She liked Wu Zhuo very much and often played with him. Although Wu Zhuo had saved her elder brother countless times on the battlefield, he never took credit for himself and was always polite and courteous to everyone.
It was not until the Dragon Boat Festival of the following year that Shu Huan came to see Wu Zhuo, who had recovered from his injuries, and brought him a pot of realgar wine.
From then on, Wu Zhuo was locked up in the most remote courtyard of the palace, and her eldest brother ordered that no one, including her, was allowed to approach.
How come her dream was so thorough and even had its own plot? Shu Huan was somewhat unable to accept it.
Wu Zhuo urged Shu Huan again, "Hurry up and leave. If your elder brother sees you, you will be punished again."
Shu Huan jumped to the ground and pulled the chain. Wu Zhuo sighed, "Stop messing around."
The chain was incredibly strong, and even if she tried her best she couldn't budge it even a little bit.
There was a lock opening sound outside the courtyard gate, and Wu Zhuo pushed Shu Huan anxiously.
Shu Huan stamped his feet, "I won't leave."
As he spoke, Shu Huan looked towards the open courtyard gate. A tall figure walked in, and they were both startled when they saw each other.
“Xuanyuan Duan?!”
This dream was a bit confusing. Shu Huan raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
"Fourth sister, you are naughty again." Xuanyuan Duan said with a helpless tone.
Wu Zhuo pushed Shu Huan again. Shu Huan grabbed Wu Zhuo's wrist impatiently and looked up to ask Xuanyuan Duan.
"How come you are my eldest brother?"
Xuanyuan Duan's face was gloomy. "If I'm not your big brother, then who is your big brother? Stop messing around."
Shu Huan pouted in dissatisfaction.
Xuanyuan Duan coaxed Shu Huan, "Brother bought you your favorite butter puff rolls. If you don't go back, all of them will be eaten up by your greedy girls in the house."
"I'm not going back. I want to play with Wu Zhuo."
From then on, Shu Huan often secretly came to see Wu Zhuo. Sometimes the two of them laughed and played together, and sometimes they just looked at the clouds in the sky quietly without saying a word.
Three years passed in a flash, and Wu Zhuo began to have different feelings for Shu Huan, but Shu Huan was still playful and had no idea what love was.
Xuanyuan Duan went out to fight again, still bringing Wu Zhuo with him. When he came back, he was seriously injured and on the verge of life and death.
Shu Huan stayed with Xuanyuan Duan every day and cried bitterly, until Wu Zhuo was willing to offer his golden elixir to save Xuanyuan Duan. Only then did Shu Huan realize that Wu Zhuo was not a human but a snake demon.
The first thing Xuanyuan Duan did after he recovered was to lock Wu Zhuo up again and not allow Shu Huan to get close to him.
The emperor summoned Xuanyuan Duan into the palace, and after Xuanyuan Duan came back he informed Wu Zhuo.
"The State of Yu is willing to stop the war, in exchange for handing you over..."
Wu Zhuo seemed to have expected this day to come, and calmly asked Xuanyuan Duan, "Do you agree?"
Xuanyuan Duan smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter whether I agree or not, the emperor has already approved it."
Wu Zhuo looked at his old friend in disbelief, then lowered his eyelashes and nodded after a long time.
"When are we leaving?"
"Set off immediately..."
Now, the State of Yu wants Brother Wu Zhuo to be given away, isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?
"I don't agree!" Shu Huan clenched his fists, "Wu Zhuo will always be mine."
No matter how Xuanyuan Duan persuaded him, Shu Huan remained unmoved and stayed by Wu Zhuo's side until Xuanyuan Duan was beaten with a hundred sticks for disobeying the imperial edict.
The fear of losing his elder brother made Shu Huan lose his composure, and he even knelt down and begged Wu Zhuo to agree to go to the State of Yu.
Wu Zhuo helped Shu Huan up.
"I promise you, but I want you to swear that if we meet in the next life, no matter how I treat you, you must treat me well..."
