A sound of pleasure
"It doesn't matter. I, Yuanli, have already made a great fortune by meeting you three in this life."
"What mission? How can it be a matter of whether or not to be held accountable? How come I know nothing? Sister, do you really treat me as your brother? It's better to be a demon than to suffer like that Sky-Breaking God. Just because he doesn't love you, does that mean you're guilty? That's too unfair! It's okay, sister. I'll gather the forces of the demon world when I get back. No one can take you away from me again! Unless I die!"
He Qi was extremely excited, and the words between the lines were full of anger and hatred. Not towards A Li, but towards the heaven.
"Heqi, calm down. Tianshu has already said that you don't necessarily have to fail in your tribulation. He is honest and upright, and he won't lie."
He Qi knelt before her, covering his face with tears, his whole body emitting a bad aura. Even the unique parts of his original body were faintly visible. Ah Li knew that this was a sign of impending mental collapse, a bit like other people being possessed by demons, the difference being that he was a demon in his own right.
"Oh, being honest and upright, only a fool like you would think so. I've told you long ago, don't get involved with the heavens. You suffered here before, and you can't escape suffering in this life. What kind of trouble have those hypocritical hypocrites caused that you have to bear? Sister, I told you, I told you, stay away from Heng Jin, but you just didn't listen. You lost your life, and in the end, I was the only one punished. He won't feel sad for you at all, and will continue to fight his battles and be his god of war! He will step on your bones to sit on that respected position!"
Hearing this, A'li vaguely understood that Heqi was thinking of his elder sister, Li Wan, because of her.
"Heqi, wake up! The person in front of you is Yuanli, not Liwan."
Cha Suxun called out to him sharply, fearing he'd say something he shouldn't in front of Ah Li, but he didn't dare to stop him rashly. After Li Wan's death, He Qi couldn't get over her death for a long time, and it even became a demon in his heart. Cha Suxun often rushed to the demonic realm to pull him out of the prison of his inner demon.
"She is, she is! She is my sister! I am useless. Even if I am given another chance, I still can't protect her. What should I do? Ah Cha, what should I do? The loved one I finally got back is about to be lost again. There is no second chance, no, what should I do!"
The situation was a little out of control for a moment. The weak Yuanli hugged him and gently stroked his back.
Thinking back to when she was pretending to be Li Wan in her dream, she imitated the tone she used to speak to He Qi without being noticed, calm and gentle, always in that unperturbed tone, and said, "He Qi, calm down and listen to me. I'll be fine. I won't leave you again. We'll be together forever. I love you the most, you know."
"But you forgot me. I know that sister loves me, but sister, you don't know that you love me the most. Sister, please don't die. There is no second chance, there really is none..."
"I haven't forgotten, and I won't die."
"Then swear to me that you will stay away from Heng Jin, never get involved in the mess of other realms again, and always put your own life first, forever! Speak now, promise me, say that you will not lose your life, that you will stay away from Heng Jin, and that you will never leave me!"
"Okay, okay, Heqi, calm down. I'll tell you everything. Calm down, okay?"
Yuanli carefully released her arms from hugging him, faced him, and carefully observed his condition.
Suddenly, out of nowhere in the desert, a woman's low singing voice appeared. The voice was gentle and powerful.
Heqi immediately calmed down when he heard the voice.
The voice seemed to be coming towards them quickly, gradually getting louder. Yuanli was a little wary, fearing it was something bad, but Cha Suxun and Tianshu were both stunned with disbelief.
Yuanli didn't dare to ask rashly, fearing that she would interrupt the voice and cause Heqi to have another mental breakdown. Looking at the appearance of Cha Suxun and Tianshu, thinking that there was no danger, Yuanli approached Cha Suxun and watched quietly from the side.
As the sound approached, almost as if it were right next to me, something suddenly bulged out of the sand beside the sand cart. As the sandbag grew taller, it gradually became thinner, eventually transforming into a graceful young woman, like a beautiful sculpture made of sand.
The girl floated lightly in the air and flew to Heqi's side, singing all the time. She stroked his hair and brushed away the yellow sand.
"Thank you for all the hard work you've done over the years. My little Heqi has grown up and is doing even better than I did back then. Didn't I tell you this? If I ever pass away before you, no matter why I die or whether I suffered, I must not let my passing haunt me. So many people still rely on you, you must not fall. If you do this, I won't be able to rest in peace even after I die."
He Qi put down his hands that were covering his face, his face full of tears. He looked at the girl in front of him with many doubts, but his voice was hoarse, and he didn't know what to say first.
As if she could read someone's mind, the girl spoke first, "The me you see now, unable to even transform, is simply the result of sealing all my memories of you here before I died. If you ever encounter difficulties in the future, I can find a way to help you."
"So, the person who sold the information about the Yellow Spring Inn to the Demon Realm's black market is related to you, sister? You did this to lure people from the Demon Realm here and learn about my current situation from their memories?"
"After not seeing you for tens of thousands of years, your brain has become a little smarter."
He Qi fought back tears, his voice trembling as he said, "Then why didn't you just stay with me, sister? You don't know how much I've missed you over the years."
"I know, I know everything. I saw everything that happened to you over the past tens of thousands of years in your memories, and I'm proud of you now."
"What if I hadn't come here? Are you planning to never see me again in this life? Sister, since you have the means to keep you as you are now, why don't you just stay with me?"
"This isn't a long-term solution. One day, I will completely disappear as time passes. I can't let you endure a second separation of life and death. A short pain is worse than a long one."
"But sister, I am willing to bear it. If you come back to the demon world with me, whether it's a second separation or you disappear completely, even if we only have one day together, I am willing to bear the consequences."
The girl shook her head and refused, "If you could bear it, you wouldn't have had so many mental breakdowns over the years. How much trouble have you caused A-Cha? And how much pain has it caused me? You should think carefully and get over my death. I'm leaving now. Be calm, be calm. If you can't control yourself, sing the ballad I sang to you. Heqi, you must live well and protect the demon world for me and you."
"Sister, don't go! Don't go!"
He Qi desperately tried to grab her, but the moment he touched her arm, he missed. The yellow sand instantly fell from the place where he had touched, and then filled up again.
"Why can't I catch you? Why? Why can't I catch you? Don't leave, come back with me. Please, come back with me, come back with me..."
He Qi fainted on the sand cart before he could finish his words. The girl controlled the yellow sand to wrap around him, catching him and laying him flat.
Yuanli asked anxiously: "What did you do to him?"
"Don't worry, I'm just letting him sleep for a while. If I let him watch me leave, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it."
The girl turned around, looked at Yuanli, and then asked, "Do you like A-Cha? I saw in Heqi's memory that you were very close to him and even got married."
Faced with her question, Yuanli felt as if she had stolen someone else's husband and was now being questioned by her original wife. She felt inexplicably guilty. Because her memories of her intimate past with Ah Cha were still fresh in her mind, Yuanli didn't dare to actively show her her memories and explain, and she hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
"Is it shameful to marry me, A'li?" Cha Suxun said softly from the side.
"No, don't make trouble. That, Demon Lord, I can explain. I didn't mean to possess your fiancé, I just... just..."
"You don't have to feel burdened by this. I'm just a dead person. Everything in my life is just the past. I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you that the decision you make now is a good one. You've finally lived such a relaxed and free life. Be more for yourself. Let everything in the past pass with death. Knowing too much will only cause you trouble. Start over and make a new choice."
"Thank you, Demon Lord, for your advice."
While Yuanli was still pondering the meaning of Li Wan's last few words, Li Wan had already touched Cha Suxun and built a barrier with yellow sand, covering her and Cha Suxun together.
After reading Cha Suxun's memories, Li Wan felt angry and blamed herself. Her emotions were extremely complicated, but she was ultimately helpless.
"A-Cha, you shouldn't have sacrificed yourself for me. You know how serious the consequences of backlash are. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to reincarnate. I don't ask for anything else. Go back."
"You are not me, how do you know that when I did all this, I was happy to do it."
Cha Suxun stared at her intently and jokingly said, "You still don't remember well. You consider me your benefactor, so why don't you lend a hand and not allow me to do anything? This is not okay."
"I'm serious with you."
"I'm serious too. How about the appearance I molded for you in this life, isn't it beautiful? There's no way, I can't make you an identical face, it will cause you trouble. But I have improved your original beauty a little bit, isn't it better than your appearance in your previous life? Haha, husband, treat you well? You know I'm good. Now that you have restored your memory in this life, don't be stupid and go to die again. It's very hard for me to reincarnate you."
"If I find those scattered parts of me, Yuanli will completely turn back into me. But what about the original Yuanli? What about her? Can you bear to see her disappear?"
