Chapter 42: Radiant Colors
Open your mouth, say something? Qi Shaoyou just wanted to cry foul; her mind was completely blank!
"Now that things have come to this, Shaoyou has nothing to say." Qi Shaoyou chose to remain silent.
Liang Man showed no displeasure upon hearing this; on the contrary, she revealed a genuine smile.
"It's fine if you don't want to talk. I've learned some new magic today, so I have plenty of ways to make you talk." After saying that, Liang Man slid her right index and middle fingers across her left wrist.
Blood gushed out instantly, and Qi Shaoyou felt a pain in his wrist as well.
"Master, why bother..." Qi Shaoyou tried his best to put on an act, but his words brought a smile to Liang Man's face.
"It's been a long time since I've heard you call me Master. Don't worry, this blood will only cause you to lose all your magic power; it won't do any other harm." Liang Man smiled as she drew closer to Qi Shaoyou.
She'd said the wrong thing… Qi Shaoyou sensed something was wrong; she felt it was very wrong…
The next moment, his premonition came true. Qi Shaoyou tasted blood, but instead of the horrible smell of blood, it had the fragrance of jasmine, and was even sweet.
She shook her head violently, trying to escape Liang Man's hand.
"You're really naughty, Shaoyou. If you keep doing this, your master will punish you." Liang Man's tone seemed to carry a hint of regret.
However, Liang Man eventually lowered her blood-soaked hand. With a single spell, the bleeding wound vanished instantly.
Just as Qi Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, Liang Man grabbed her chin and kissed her directly.
It wasn't those gentle, breeze-like kisses of the past, but a fierce, almost frenzied kiss.
Ouch! Qi Shaoyou felt a sharp pain in her lower lip; she had probably bitten it open. After all, she had tasted blood herself.
No one spoke; only the ambiguous sound of water filled the cave. Even 0527, who was usually very talkative, was now silent.
By the end of the kiss, Qi Shaoyou's gaze was almost blurred from the kiss.
She didn't know how to describe this intoxicating feeling; she only knew that she was somewhat dizzy and disoriented.
Only when her master released her did Qi Shaoyou finally regain the right to breathe.
"What's wrong with Shaoyou? Your kissing skills today are not as good as usual."
Qi Shaoyou: ? What kind of good life has she been living in these past few worlds?
"You were actually daydreaming; you truly deserve punishment." The cold, nonchalant voice made Qi Shaoyou's heart tighten.
Qi Shaoyou, who had been hanging upside down, had her hands freed from shackles after saying those words. Then, shackles appeared on her feet.
Qi Shaoyou was just about to take off running...
Okay, okay, you'll wait for me here, right?
【A blood kiss, oh, how romantic~】0527 looked at the scene in front of him and secretly felt a heart.
[It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!] Qi Shaoyou really wanted to teach 0527 a lesson.
Unfortunately, she and 0527 are now in the same boat.
[You're wrong, boss. I'm clearly just talking without understanding the situation.]
[Lying down really hurts my back.] 0527 seized this opportunity to gloat a little.
Qi Shaoyou hardened his fist, feeling an urge to beat up the system.
"Distracted? How dare you be distracted in front of your master?"
"Who are you thinking about? My true form? Shaoyou, you're a good boy, if you're obedient she won't love you."
As she spoke, the inner demon gently stroked Qi Shaoyou's cheek. Her tone was soft, as if she were coaxing a child to sleep.
"Put her aside and be with me. Anything your master can do, I can do too."
"Let her go save the world, what's wrong with me traveling the world with you?" The inner demon's eyes and brows were full of warmth when he said this.
Those who didn't know the situation might think the two were a real couple.
Qi Shaoyou turned his head away. Would she dare agree? Agree my ass!
Her favorability rating is already 99%, so if she's not careful, her mission will fail.
She looked down at her white hair and said with a slight self-mockery, "Does my master not know my answer now that I'm like this?"
"I still call you Master, not because I still harbor those feelings for you. It's because you were originally a part of Master."
"I dare not be disrespectful to my master." Qi Shaoyou's expression was calm. She took a step back to increase the distance between them and bowed slightly to the inner demon.
"No interest?" The inner demon seemed to have heard something amusing, and her words sent a chill down Qi Shaoyou's spine.
"In the dense forest, your master was poisoned by the aphrodisiac. How did you relieve her suffering, and how did you torment her? Do you really not remember?"
Qi Shaoyou was so frightened by those words that she almost lost her mind. Was this a dream? Why were her dreams getting more and more terrifying?
No! What on earth did she do?! Can't we just punish her for what she was like back then and let her go now?
Qi Shaoyou felt that she urgently needed a way to sever ties with her past self.
"I never expected you to be such a terrifying person, boss." 0527 said, while using the system's data stream to make himself a sunflower seed.
Although it has no taste, it's actually quite fun to chew on. I really have to learn from the pros; otherwise, I could only play all the games but never actually make these little gadgets.
"Can't Shaoyou remember?" The inner demon smiled seductively, pretending to suddenly realize something.
"Yes, of course Shaoyou doesn't remember. Your good master only thought you were doing it to help her detoxify."
"So, she erased that memory for you."
"Don't worry, she can erase this memory from your mind. I can also put this memory back into your mind."
"After all, that's the day I was born."
Qi Shaoyou: It's fine if you don't put it back. She really doesn't want this memory.
However, with her current strength, she struggled for a moment before being caught by the inner demon. The inner demon pressed its lips to Qi Shaoyou's forehead, and countless fragments flooded into Qi Shaoyou's mind.
The moonlight was bright and clear, making the lake appear exceptionally deep and still. From time to time, the sound of wind rustling through the leaves could be heard from the dense forest beside the lake.
The constant clattering and noise made it impossible for anyone to calm down.
Qi Shaoyou held the person in his arms as they lay on the white silk cloth.
With her eyes covered, she sighed softly, "When Master returns, he will kill me, and the karma will be settled, so no inner demons will arise."
The person in his arms wept softly, without uttering a word.
Feeling the body in his arms still warm, Qi Shaoyou leaned down again.
Qi Shaoyou couldn't tell whether it was more difficult to hold a flower in one's mouth or to pluck a flower.
All she knew was that her master's voice, after being poisoned, had lost its usual coldness and gained an indescribable allure.
With their eyes covered by white silk, their other senses were amplified.
No silk, however soft, can feel like this; a light touch on the silk evokes a human heart weeping and trying to escape its manipulation.
The closer they got, the stronger the subtle fragrance of jasmine grew. Perhaps it was the moon reflected in the lake that made them feel so mesmerized.
"Slap." A slap landed on his face, stinging with pain. The white silk covering his eyes fell down at that moment.
Even though it's not the dead of winter, the plum blossoms are still blooming in abundance. They're a vibrant red, creating a lively scene.
Only a few petals still had some water droplets from the melting snow clinging to them.
How pitiful.
Qi Shaoyou looked at the plum blossoms shedding tears and felt only pity for them.
"You must kill me, Master." Qi Shaoyou kissed the most unusual little fruit among the plum blossoms.
【0527! Add another layer of blocking to my account too!】 Qi Shaoyou was on the verge of tears.
【Okay.】0527 I wish I wasn't the only one whose view was blocked.
However, while his vision was blocked, his hearing had not disappeared.
The continuous sound of the water and the pain in Qi Shaoyou's back were the reasons why she couldn't completely ignore these images.
The delicate, soft flower petals were brought to her lips, and Qi Shaoyou felt completely overwhelmed. She couldn't ignore the sensation and could only swallow slowly.
The inner demon watched as her ears gradually turned red, then stepped forward and stroked Qi Shaoyou's neck.
"As long as you agree to leave your master behind and come with me, I'll be with you wherever you are, in heaven or on earth. Wouldn't that be better?"
The inner demon exhaled a fragrant breath, its eyes filled with vibrant colors.
"You can have anything you want from now on, so why wouldn't you agree?"
Qi Shaoyou felt half of her body go numb, and the inner demon reached out and put his hand on her neck, smiling ambiguously.
"If I leave with you, Master's strength will be greatly weakened. Shaoyou, I cannot comply."
Qi Shaoyou remained expressionless, as still as a lamp in an ancient temple.
Only 0527 knows how panicked the big boss was.
However, considering that these are all debts of gratitude owed by the big shot in other worlds, 0527, out of respect, made himself some potato chips to eat while watching the big shot's drama unfold.
"You make it sound so noble, but there's clearly an antidote for that aphrodisiac. It's not hard to get, so why didn't you use it?"
"Qi Shaoyou, you're not as upright as you claim. You want your master too, don't you?"
When pressed for answers, Qi Shaoyou exclaimed, "I know nothing! If she could travel back in time, she would beat herself up with a hammer and force her to hand over the antidote!"
"Therefore, the best solution is for Master to kill me." As soon as Qi Shaoyou said this, his inner demon was enraged.
"Stubborn fool! Qi Shaoyou, you'll regret missing out on the choice I gave you sooner or later!"

Qi Shaoyou: My mind is as empty as an author's manuscript box.
Author: ? How dare you speak like that? [Angry]
