Chapter 165 A Kiss
Pipa never expected the boy to suddenly turn his head and kiss her.
In particular, the taste of blood that seemed to linger on the other person's lips from when they bit his shoulder earlier still lingered.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, the scenery in front of me suddenly blurred.
Before Pipa could react, she felt a sudden pain in her dislocated arm and was pressed against a clump of vines.
Everywhere you look, there are swaying tree shadows that are faintly visible in the dim light.
...and the boy's soft, long hair slipping down his side.
As the kiss deepened, Pipa felt that familiar feeling of weariness return.
He wanted to retaliate and prevent the other party from going any further.
Her lips and tongue seemed to be out of control, not only failing to follow her own inner thoughts, but also passively responding to the boy's actions.
The hand that was raised to push the other person away suddenly became weak and powerless.
He was caught in a light touch, and his wrist was grabbed and pressed against his side.
After finishing this task, the boy paused, tilted his head, and quietly looked at the loquats below for a while.
The latter frowned slightly, breathing heavily, his chest heaving.
Those lips, usually rather pale, were now a glossy crimson, as if a single touch would cause them to drip vibrant blood...
Seeing this, the boy showed a slightly satisfied expression.
"Why...why?" Pipa managed to get her numb tongue to roll out a barely audible question from her throat.
"Why?"
The boy repeated the other's question, his turquoise eyes blinking slowly, a moment of confusion flashing in them.
—Yes, why did I do such a thing?
He remembered that at the very beginning, he wanted to eat that human, that uninvited guest who had suddenly barged into the Asura Domain.
That person had a particularly pleasant, sweet scent, more delicious than any monster or human he had ever encountered.
As the leader of that area, he wasn't entirely without a chance of winning against a lone cultivator.
But somehow, whenever he was just one step away from victory, his body and his mind would start to disobey him.
Once or twice...
With each failed attempt, his defeat became more apparent.
Finally, their fatal flaw was caught.
Not only were its joints severed one by one, but even its precious eyes, which contained powerful demonic energy, were gouged out.
He still can't forget the time he lay on the ground, barely alive, surrounded by small lakes of blood flowing from his body.
To be trampled underfoot by a mere human being is an unbearable humiliation.
If he were born weak and lost due to insufficient strength, then defeat was defeat. He would have no complaints about being killed or tortured, even if he were eaten like the prey that had fallen into his hands before.
But that's not the case.
He knew very well that the human had won without any sense of justice, yet he couldn't think of any way to turn the tide.
He watched as the human approached him step by step, preparing to deliver the final blow with his sword.
He was resentful.
I hate that God is unfair.
I wish I could fight to the last drop of my strength and take him down with me...
Just then, that damned jade pendant fell out.
The sound of the jade pendant falling attracted the human who had already approached. He bent down, picked up the pendant, and read the inscription on it—
【Li Xiao.】
These were just two light words, but they weighed heavily on his ears.
It's more like an irresistible curse.
A strange feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. The enemy he had been gritting his teeth and wanting to kill just a moment ago now seemed like a long-awaited old friend...
Then, everything changed.
Love and hate become blurred, or even completely reversed.
The real him seems to be trapped.
They can sense every blade of grass and every tree around them, and be aware of their own words and actions, yet they are completely unable to control their behavior.
It was as if another soul had taken over and moved into his original body.
How much he hated that human named Yu Qingzhou.
The person who usurped the other's place must have liked the other person so much that they were willing to abandon all their dignity and fawn over them like a dog.
And he was forced to watch all of this.
Watching myself grovel and beg for mercy while the other party remained unmoved felt like a complete joke.
But he couldn't laugh at all, because he was the biggest clown in it all.
Fortunately, the force that traps you is not always impenetrable.
On one or two occasions, he almost broke through the restrictions and regained his body.
However, each time was too short, not enough for him to actually do anything to change his terrible situation; at most, he could only say a few harsh words to Yu Qingzhou.
But he got nothing but that indifferent, hypocritical face.
The other Li Xiao might not be able to see how hard-hearted this Taoist Master Yu was, but he still remembered the calm and collected look on the other's face when he swung his sword.
If there's anyone else Yu Qingzhou can still hold in her heart, it's probably Shen Yingxue.
But does Yu Qingzhou really like Shen Yingxue that much?
—In his opinion, not necessarily.
Otherwise, why would he hesitate and refuse to personally break the ice between them?
The idea that you don't want to hinder the other person's pursuit of the Great Dao or become an obstacle on their path of cultivation is utter bullshit.
If you like something, go for it; if you want something, hide it. Even the lowest-level monsters understand this principle, so how could Yu Qingzhou not know it?
All the concessions are nothing but excuses and pretexts.
Such hesitation can only mean one thing: not loving enough.
He sneered inwardly while plotting how to break free from his shackles, reclaim everything that belonged to him, and then settle accounts with Yu Qingzhou one by one, exposing the despicable thoughts hidden beneath that sanctimonious face.
Make the other party experience the humiliation they have suffered today twice over.
Originally, this was not entirely impossible.
Because he could feel that the force binding him was not stable, this was why he was able to regain control of his consciousness a few times.
Unfortunately, he was taken back to that godforsaken place, the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Several old men, whose combined age was over a thousand, shamelessly ganged up on him.
Although he was trapped before, he could at least clearly perceive everything happening in the outside world. But after that, he was isolated from the outside world and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, he found himself in this dark space, becoming part of those vines, or perhaps those vines became part of him.
None of these matters.
—Most importantly, he heard that familiar, infuriating voice again.
It was unclear what had happened, but Yu Qingzhou's voice sounded very weak.
Even more incredibly, the other party actually called him Qingxiao.
—Qingxiao?
This name seems familiar.
Before he could think any further, Yu Qingzhou gently lifted him up and carried him on her back.
Only then did he belatedly realize that he had already become a wisp of sword spirit within the Azure Sky Sword.
