A sound of pleasure
"If our methods aren't brutal and intimidating, even less so than Si Tiao's, the mountain people might think the danger is far less than what Si Tiao brought, and they won't cause trouble again. Only by making them afraid can we achieve the effect we want."
Hearing this, Yuanli suddenly stood up and sat cross-legged, bending down and looking at him with puzzled eyes.
"I don't believe you and Tsurugi would agree to carry out such a cruel plan."
Cha Suxun sat up, took her hands, and explained, "My lady knows me best. Those monsters hanging from the trees and being dismembered are actually prisoners in the Demon Realm prison who are about to be executed. According to their crimes, dismembering them would be an injustice to their victims. Although we have to kill a few mountain people, we will not deliberately torture the bodies. Moreover, the monsters we have chosen are those who have committed heinous crimes and deserve the death penalty according to the law. It is not an unjust killing."
"Isn't this move too desperate? Although I haven't seen the murder scene, I have heard some things from Yan Ye. The faces of the deceased were not disfigured. As long as Yue Niang uses her brain a little, she should be able to find out that the deceased were not mountain people."
"Of course, she'll quickly discover that the deceased weren't mountain dwellers. However, trying to uncover the identity of the troublesome female ghost is a waste of time and effort, and it won't be worth the effort. This move is intended to cause trouble for Yue Niang and her group, and there will be more deliberate efforts to cause trouble later, until the person behind Yue Niang's actions is forced to reveal themselves."
"Is that female ghost one of Heqi's men, or yours?"
"It's Lan Xu, one of Heqi's men. The female ghosts around me can't come and go freely in the Demon Realm's death row, let alone quietly bring the condemned prisoners to Yuemang Mountain to be killed."
Yuanli asked curiously, "What does Miss Lanxu look like? She's quite impressive."
"It's not a girl, it's a boy. If you want to see him, wait until you're done and go home. I'll let Lanxu come to see you."
"No need to bother. I was just curious about what kind of woman she was, and why she was so powerful. I didn't want to meet her in person."
"Okay. Madam, do you have anything else to ask? I might as well answer them all at once so that you can rest in peace."
“No more.”
Yuanli just lay down with Cha Suxun, put her arms around his waist and snuggled into his arms.
"My lady, don't put your hands on my waist. It's itchy. Put them on my back."
As he spoke, Cha Suxun grasped her wrist and stretched it towards his back, then used the force of letting go to move towards her, sticking close to her.
"Do you want me to suffocate to death on your chest?"
Cha Suxun hugged her and said jokingly with a happy smirk on his face, "You're wrong. I can't bear to suffocate you to death on my chest. I, your husband, would like to suffocate you to death on your chest."
"you!"
She could clearly feel her cheeks getting hot, she must be blushing with embarrassment. To prevent him from seeing her, she buried her face in his chest and shrank down, with the quilt covering most of her head.
"This time it was you who wanted to suffocate me. When will it be my turn?"
Yuanli came out and looked up to meet his gaze. "You're talking more and more...not like yourself at all."
"What are I saying? If you had been my first wife earlier, maybe you would have seen me like this sooner. In the past, I was so envious of you that I held back, afraid I'd make a mistake and anger you into leaving. But once I got you, your words and actions became more and more spontaneous, surprising even myself. I truly, deeply adore you, and I can't wait to tell you every day..."
She kissed him on the lips with joy, but he did not move further. She took courage and kissed him deeper. Her tongue clumsily passed over his teeth and entangled with his tender back and forth.
After the kiss, Yuanli felt her heart beating violently. She stared at him, "I've come this far, Cha Suxun, why do you still not want me?"
Cha Suxun was confused by the sudden question. She suddenly called him by his full name and said something like that, which surprised him. He quickly explained, "I don't want to give up on you. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? I want you. I want yours."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Yuanli pulled his hand to touch the belt of her inner garment, and stared at him intently. But he clearly lowered his head to look at the position of her belt, but still didn't...
"I'm your first wife, but you never take the initiative to have sex with me. Even if I, a woman, take the initiative, you still refuse. Why? I don't understand. We are not husband and wife."
"We are indeed not husband and wife. Those things you remember are just dreams I created for you. I was afraid you would regret it before. Even though we have both known each other's feelings now, I still worry you will regret it."
"Why do you think I'll regret it? What did I do wrong? I left you with some concerns. Tell me and I'll dispel your concerns."
"My wife didn't do anything wrong. It's my fault. I'm suspicious and sensitive by nature, so I started to overthink things."
Yuanli didn't press the issue any further, but directly expressed her suspicions: "Is it because you feel that after returning to the mortal world, if I return to the heavens and meet Heng Jin, I will once again devote myself to him, right?"
She stroked his face, her eyes full of tenderness as she spoke softly, "But I'm not the Yuanli who once admired Wen Yici. Neither I nor my alter ego has ever loved Heng Jin. Axun, I will never betray you. Those in the heavens say that I only achieved my position as a deity by riding on Heng Jin's grace, and that I'm unworthy of the position."
"Don't listen to what they say..."
"It's nothing. What they said is the truth. A weak and useless person like me is of no benefit to the sentient beings in the six realms and should give up my position. However, no one has ever asked me whether I am willing to be a god. The gift that others envy is not what I see. When I help Heng Jin overcome the tribulation and succeed, I will receive the reward. Then, I will voluntarily abandon my position as a god and return home."
Cha Suxun didn't say anything, and seemed to be hesitant to speak several times, but his eyes expressed what he was thinking.
"I said, as long as you don't want me to disappear, I will do everything I can to stay. I love you with all my heart and eyes, and I will never change."
"Where is Ah Li, whose heart and eyes are filled with Wen Yici, gone?"
"You want her back?"
"Seldom, I want you to continue to love me the same way forever. But I... don't know what happened, and I don't know what you are..."
Yuanli told Cha Suxun everything that happened that day, and then said, "This is what happened. I don't know what I am, but from the moment I woke up in Yuemangshan, I remember every moment this body has experienced. If she wakes up, she will do the same. I am like her selfish side. If I want something, I will do whatever it takes to get it. To protect myself, I am willing to kill any living being that affects my survival."
She stretched out her trembling hands, looked at them, and was silent for a long time before she finally said, "These hands of mine have taken countless lives all the way from the foot of Yuemang Mountain to the top. This is my greatest secret, a secret that cannot be revealed and requires every effort to hide. I am not the Yuanli you remember. Now that I have spoken it out, I feel relieved."
"What do you mean by fighting your way up Yuemang Mountain from its foot? Did you live here before I found you?"
"Yes, my earliest memories begin in Yuemang Mountain. Are you disappointed? The me you admired climbed to the very top of this hell of evil and then escaped. I'm no different from these ruthless demons who kill without blinking an eye."
"Why should I be disappointed? I feel heartache, blame myself, feel regret, and even anger at myself, but I'm not disappointed. You are the same as them, but also different. The same thing is that the killings that started in Yuemang Mountain were all done to protect their own lives. If you don't kill others today, you will be the one killed tomorrow. With all seven emotions and six desires, there is no one who is not selfish. I, the Lord of the Netherworld, have witnessed too many destinies, and I understand this. The difference is that since you left the mountain, you have never slaughtered as many people as you did on it. Therefore, your nature is different from theirs."
Yuanli asked in return, "How can you be sure that I haven't been killing people like I was on the mountain since I left?"
"Because I know your true feelings."
After waking up from a good dream, Yuanli looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes full of attachment and reluctance. She gently stroked his eyebrows from a distance. The idea that had arisen in her mind since last night became firm at this moment.
Tianshu suddenly transmitted a telepathic message, "If it is convenient for you, Star Lord, please step outside the room immediately. I have something important to discuss. Also, this is a serious matter, so please do not disturb His Majesty the Pluto."
Hearing this, Yuanli thought about it again and again, listened to the voice in her heart, climbed down from the bed quietly, and walked out of the room quietly.
Tianshu led her to an empty room in the corner and whispered cautiously, "Please forgive me, Star Lord. The miasma and resentment in Yuemang Mountain are very strong. To prevent you from getting hurt and to prevent the thieves from noticing, I have no choice but to call you out of the room to discuss matters."
"What happened?"
"The stone formation has been broken, and Xie Yuan has escaped. I, under the order of the Heavenly Sovereign, have gone to the Siming Palace to examine your destiny scroll, but I still cannot open it. The Heavenly Emperor has ordered that, in accordance with the will of Heaven, no immortal or god may interfere with your tribulation. Once you have tribulated and returned to heaven, your third tribulation will begin immediately. I do not know what your fate will be in this life, and with Xie Yuan now born, you must be extremely careful and make sure you return safely to heaven."
"Opening the third life?"
"Well, I'm also wondering. Emperor Hengjin's descent to the mortal world to experience tribulations wasn't as important as Xie Yuan's escape from the world, but at this critical juncture, the Emperor didn't actually stop him. Oh, and the Heavenly Emperor hasn't said whether you completed your mission in your second life. I'm afraid only the Emperor knows. When you return, tell him clearly. No matter what, I'm sure the Emperor will stand by you. But, the Emperor... be careful with your words."
"Okay, to save my life, I'd be willing to beg him even if it means being humble." Yuanli was also very happy. A flash of greed flashed through her mind again, but she forced herself to suppress it.
"Then why can't Axun know?"
"When the Heavenly Lord gave you the mission, he strictly prohibited a fourth person from knowing it. Ah Li, have you forgotten?"
