Hua Tingxuan said as a matter of course: "Of course it is to silence us."
Ghost Yue Lao: “…”
"You were so careless that Dan Feng almost knew the truth. So I had to kill you. But it has happened twelve times already," Hua Tingxuan raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes full of evil, and questioned with dissatisfaction, "Why haven't you died yet?"
Ghost Yue Lao: “… …” So I should apologize to you, right?! You pervert, not only do you torture yourself, but you also forcefully drag me into your sea of consciousness, intending to torture and kill me!
Unfortunately, he dared not say a word to Hua Da Lao about these complaints, and only said bitterly: "I have guarded the 'Soul-Choosing Spirit' for thousands of years, and I have become a semi-immortal body. It is not so easy to destroy my soul. But you, you forced yourself to die with me that day, and blew up your inner palace. Your soul was already damaged, so why did you jump into the cleansing blood pool again and again? Aren't you afraid of being reduced to ashes?"
At this moment, the flesh on Hua Tingxuan's body had basically grown back. His upper body was naked, with a trace of blood winding down along the smooth muscle lines. His hair was as black as ink, his face was as white as jade, and he had an extremely handsome appearance, but there was a strong murderous aura between his brows that made people afraid to look at him.
"What's there to fear about being reduced to ashes?" Hua Tingxuan sneered, "I have lived like a walking corpse for a hundred years. Without him, I might as well be reduced to ashes... Therefore, I must wash away this evil spirit. Now that my soul is damaged, I will cleanse my essence and marrow and get rid of the inner demons when I am at my weakest. When I see him again, I will be able to... control myself."
I'm really afraid that one day I'll hurt him again.
Ghost Yue Lao: "Jumping into the blood pool when you are at your weakest? This is clearly seeking death! Even if you succeed by chance, what if the inner demon takes advantage of the opportunity and counterattacks? Once it counterattacks, the power will surely double, and you will be unable to control yourself!"
Hua Tingxuan frowned and said: "My inner demon was caused by Dan Feng..." He exploded and died in front of me, but now...
"Now that I am protecting him, he is safe and sound. How can his inner demon strike back? Even if there is any sign of a counterattack, I will end my life first and never hurt him at all."
Ghost Yue Lao sighed, "… Why bother? In fact, we should learn to coexist peacefully with the inner demon. So, Flower Immortal Venerable, please stop jumping, and don't pull me with you if you jump. I can swear that I will never tell anyone a word about you helping Chu Danfeng pass the test in the inner demon realm or your true strength. Please let me go!"
"Stop talking nonsense." Hua Tingxuan flatly refused, then lifted up Ghost Yue Lao's neck and was about to jump into the blood pool with him again.
Ghost Yue Lao was so frightened that he started to curse: "Ah, you big devil! You have no humanity! You deserve your brother to hate you. What kind of inner demon is invading you? You pretend to be innocent. If you don't have such dirty thoughts, how can you breed inner demons? You dare to destroy my cultivation, I will definitely-wait! Isn't that your junior brother? He appears again?"
Chu Danfeng: "?" Did he just hear the word "again"? But didn't he just fall asleep? Could there be another "Chu Danfeng" in this dream? But it was a good thing that they could see him, so he could find a way to wake Hua Tingxuan up.
"!" Hua Tingxuan paused after hearing that, and then saw Chu Danfeng standing not far from them.
Hua Tingxuan had an unpredictable expression on his face, as if he was happy and nervous at the same time. In his excitement, he loosened his hand, and Gui Yue Lao fell into the pool of blood with a "plop", letting out a scream.
Hua Tingxuan walked over slowly and stood in front of Chu Danfeng. His eyes seemed to be sad and happy, and the corners of his lips were trembling, as if he was about to curl up. He raised his hand carefully: "It's great to see you again."
Seeing Hua Tingxuan's big hand about to touch his face, Chu Danfeng subconsciously took a step back - he always felt that something was wrong with the big flower in the 3.0 dream. What was that expression on his face? Why was he so excited to see him
"Oh, you still won't forgive me, are you still so afraid of me like a snake?" Hua Tingxuan's eyes suddenly turned cold. Just when Chu Danfeng thought that this "evil flower" would suddenly go crazy and cut him into pieces, Hua Tingxuan actually hugged him in his arms.
Chu Danfeng: “?!”
Being so close, Chu Danfeng could feel Hua Tingxuan's hot body temperature, could clearly hear the rumbling heartbeat in his chest, and could feel the large hand stroking the back of his head slowly moving downwards, with the palm carrying a scorching temperature, repeatedly caressing from his spine to the back of his waist.
Chu Danfeng's hair stood on end when he was touched. He wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter Hua Tingxuan held him. The young version of Hua Tingxuan was a head taller than him, and his arms were as strong as iron clamps. Chu Danfeng was completely unable to use his spiritual power in this "dream" and could not break free at all.
"Junior Brother, you are finally willing to come out and see me again, but you still won't say a word to me?" Hua Tingxuan didn't wait for his answer and said to himself, "Actually, that ugly snake is right. I am indeed filthy. I actually like to see you cry."
Chu Danfeng: “…?”
And then, Hua Tingxuan's words pushed the atmosphere to a climax - he gently kissed Chu Danfeng on the top of his head and said tenderly: "The fox in Taohua Village is right, you must feel very happy when you do it."
“!!!!!!!!!!!” What the hell is this bullshit!!! What do you mean by “cool”??? What are you doing??? Did he hear it right
Chu Danfeng was really furious, but the tall young Hua Tingxuan still said coquettishly: "Xuan'er just wants you to have me in your heart and eyes, and not look at other men or women for too long, otherwise I will be jealous and crazy, and I want to lock you up so that no one can see you, and I want to... But don't be afraid, from now on, no matter how jealous I am, I can control myself and won't hurt you at all."
He finally let go of Chu Danfeng a little, and pulled him towards the blood pool as if to ask for credit, "See? This is the cleansing blood pool. As long as you jump in repeatedly, you can peel off the inner demons layer by layer..."
Just at this moment, a bubble gurgled out of the blood pool. It turned out to be Ghost Yue Lao who was struggling to climb up. Hua Tingxuan seemed to want to kick him back, but was reluctant to let go of Chu Danfeng. While he was hesitating, Ghost Yue Lao had already stumbled up.
In fact, it only took a moment for it to fall into the blood pool, but it had been burned and had lost a layer of skin, with its body covered in blood and flesh. Chu Danfeng couldn't help but think of the time when he first fell asleep and saw Hua Tingxuan, who looked almost like a skeleton.
The black robe was made of unknown material, but it was not damaged at all. Ghost Yue Lao used the black robe to wrap himself up, hiding his horrible body, and sobbed and cursed: "Hua Tingxuan, you devil..."
Hua Tingxuan ignored Gui Yue Lao and just held Chu Danfeng's hand, asking eagerly: "Do you want to see me jump? This blood pool can not only peel off the inner demons, but also make people feel the pain of scraping off flesh and blood. As long as you soak in it long enough, you will come out as a pile of dry bones, which is very refreshing."
Chu Danfeng imagined the bloody scene in his mind, and got goosebumps. He shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, no!"
Hua Tingxuan was surprised and delighted: "You spoke!"
Chu Danfeng: “…” Could it be that in his dream, I was a mute
Hua Tingxuan seemed to be in high spirits. He pulled Chu Danfeng into the air and flew a long circle around the sea of consciousness. He took him for a stroll in the sea of blood and corpses, pointing out who had offended Chu Danfeng and when, and how they were killed by him. He pulled him to sit on a towering ancient tree and pointed out the only place that was not covered by scorched earth and black blood. There was lush greenery there, and not far away there was a lush peach blossom forest, which was Chu Danfeng's bamboo house.
The two sat side by side on the old tree, and could hear the chirping of birds and the scent of peach blossoms wafting from the front. However, Hua Tingxuan's words were not as gentle and peaceful as the environment: "Brother, those were not illusions just now. I really killed those who bullied you for you. Are you happy?"
He did not expect Chu Danfeng to answer him, and continued: "Brother, I know that I am the one who deserves to die the most, but I want to see you so much... If I kill everyone in the world again, will you forgive me?"
"Forgive... what?" Chu Danfeng heard himself asking in a hoarse voice. He was now filled with shock. Why did this Hua Tingxuan... have memories of his past life
Everything he just said was clearly their common experience in the previous life. Who was he? Or was he a lonely soul like himself, reincarnated with the memories of the previous life
Hua Tingxuan said happily: "You are willing to talk to me again."
"Like, will you forgive me for the day I nearly stripped you naked, and whipped you so unceremoniously that your panties ripped—"
"Stop talking!" Chu Danfeng's heart was beating like a drum. The Hua Tingxuan in front of him indeed had memories of his previous life.
"No, I can't forgive you. Don't do anything." Chu Danfeng was very confused and even wanted to jump down to end this dream. He didn't want to stay with Hua Tingxuan, who had the memories of his past life, for another second, but he was held down firmly by him.
"Don't move, you'll fall." Hua Tingxuan sighed sadly and murmured, "You really hate me and won't forgive me."
"… "
When they returned to the blood pool, Gui Yue Lao had recovered as before. Seeing Hua Tingxuan, he instinctively tried to run, but bumped into the invisible void and bounced back.
"..." Ghost Yue Lao tightened his hood in dismay and hissed like a snake, "Is it fun to drag an 'illusion' around with you?"
Chu Danfeng keenly captured the key word - illusion
Hua Tingxuan was afraid that Chu Danfeng would disappear into thin air the next moment, so he held his hand tightly, looked at Gui Yue Lao, and said lazily: "Although he is an 'illusion' derived from my inner demon, his appearance and temperament are exactly the same as his."
"It's just..." Hua Tingxuan whispered, "He is my senior brother in the previous life, and he hates me."
Ghost Yue Lao: "You also said that this 'illusion' is your senior brother from the previous life. As long as you return to reality, you will be able to see the real Chu Danfeng. Isn't he very kind to you? Go back and see him quickly. Why bother to suffer here?"
"You talk too much nonsense." Hua Tingxuan became impatient and raised his foot to kick.
Ghost Yue Lao had long been frightened by the blood pool. He stretched out his jackal claws and clung to a rock beside the pool. He said quickly, "Although I am not the real Yue Lao, I have the name of 'Ghost Yue Lao' and many infatuated men and women come to me to express their feelings. I have some experience in romantic matters. Maybe I can help you analyze it! You will never be able to catch up with my brother if you just act recklessly like this!"
Hua Tingxuan retracted his long legs, pondered for a moment, and sat down on a reef with his legs spread out - one hand still tightly holding Chu Danfeng - before saying: "Senior brother is also a reborn person. He treats me well because he doesn't know that I am also reborn."
Chu Danfeng: “!!!”
Hua Tingxuan said dejectedly: "I did a lot of asshole things in my previous life. He will never forgive me."
Ghost Yue Lao: "Is there any murderous vengeance?"
Hua Tingxuan: "Not really."
Ghost Yue Lao: "Then there is room for maneuver. Tell me, what have you done?"
Hua Tingxuan hesitated for a moment, and then he recounted how he hurt Chu Danfeng in his previous life because he was jealous, how he deliberately approached Lin Shuer to anger Chu Danfeng, and how he used various means to force Chu Danfeng to hand over the Soul-writing Orb when Chu Danfeng stole the treasure and was about to block the backlash for Lin Shuer, and so on...
Hua Tingxuan: "How is it, is there any room for maneuver?"
“… He’s quite an asshole,” Ghost Yue Lao said hoarsely, “Forget it, you’d better not let him know that you are a reborn person.”
Hua Tingxuan drooped his eyelashes dejectedly. After a while, he sighed, leaned back and leaned against the rock. "It's the same as I thought. It's better to kill you and silence you. Dan Feng must not know this secret."
“!!!” Ghost Yue Lao screamed in panic, “I can swear right now, if anyone tells people that you are a reborn person and you risked your life to help Chu Danfeng obtain the first spirit of the weapon, I will turn to ashes, and my soul will perish, and I will not die a good death!”
"!!!" Chu Danfeng, "Did you ask for the Soul-Chuan on my behalf?" No wonder Ghost Yue Lao suddenly let him go in the Heart Demon Realm.
Hua Tingxuan's reaction was even bigger than Chu Danfeng's: "You!? How do you know about Soul Writing?"
Chu Danfeng took a step back and said distantly, "I am not the illusion in your mind, Sixth Junior Brother, you have been in a coma since you came out of the forbidden area of Wanjian Peak. The master asked the twelfth uncle to take your pulse and assisted with the Yaolang Fujin Grass. Only then did I enter your dream to wake you up."
“You... Senior Brother, I..." Hua Tingxuan panicked.
Chu Danfeng turned his eyes away and said dryly: "The soul has been away from the body for too long, which is not good for your cultivation and lifespan. You should wake up soon."
"Well, Senior Brother Chu, let me say a few words." It was Gui Yue Lao who raised his hand weakly, "Your junior brother has indeed done a lot of bastard things, but do you know how much he has paid for you?" Gui Yue Lao was thinking, if he could persuade Chu Danfeng to change his mind, would Boss Hua let him go because of his contribution
"In order to repair your golden elixir and improve your strength, he stole the treasure I was guarding, and his soul was severely damaged. In order not to go crazy on you in the future... uh, in order not to hurt you, he jumped into this purification pool again and again. I jumped into it, and the pain of being tortured to death was just like this! But he was going to jump into it 9981 times. This pool is very evil and can hurt the soul. He didn't wake up, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't! He was no longer able to support his body, and could only hide in the sea of consciousness to slowly recuperate..."
However, before Gui Yue Lao finished his words, Chu Danfeng in front of him suddenly fell down. Hua Tingxuan teleported to his side, caught him, and touched his forehead. A red light flashed and smoothed Chu Danfeng's brow.
Gui Yue Lao was shocked and asked, "You want to erase this memory of him in your sea of consciousness?"
Hua Tingxuan picked up Chu Danfeng and said to Gui Yue Lao with a frown, "Why did you tell him that?"
Gui Yue Lao felt wronged: "Isn't it for your own good? If he knew that he owed you a favor, he might forgive you. Isn't that what you want?"
"What favor do you owe me? I did it willingly!" Hua Tingxuan glared at Gui Yue Lao angrily, scaring him so much that he shrank his neck and his jackal body shrank into a ball of fur. He didn't dare to breathe and completely shut up.
Hua Tingxuan then looked at Chu Danfeng in his arms and said softly, "He never owed me anything, and I don't want to use this kind of debt of favor to blackmail him."
He stroked Chu Danfeng's cheek and whispered, "I want him to truly fall in love with me."
Amid the overwhelming bloody red and charred black, a tall man with his upper body naked and black hair was holding a young man sleeping peacefully in his arms. The hem of his moon-white disciple uniform hung down softly, and the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
However, a question from the soul broke this harmony: "If you don't let him know this, then what is there for you to be loved?"
Hua Tingxuan: “…”
Gui Yue Lao weakly tried to make amends: "I'm not calling you an asshole, I just have a simple question—"
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked into a pool of blood.
Before Ghost Yue Lao fell into the blood pool, he struggled and shouted one last sentence: "I finally understand, you only reason with your senior brother!"
After Chu Danfeng woke up, he saw a group of people gathered around his bed. He was still a little dazed until his twelfth uncle Xiao Cangwu asked him how his dream went. Chu Danfeng then shook his head in confusion: "I don't remember. Is Xuan'er awake?"
Hua Tingxuan naturally did not wake up. Since that day, Xiao Cangwu, who was known as a master of healing, had to go to Lixu Peak every few days, as if he was fighting against his nephew's strange disease. However, no matter how many elixirs and spiritual herbs he fed him, Hua Tingxuan remained drowsy for three whole months and did not wake up.
During this period, while Chu Danfeng was worried about Xiaotuanzi, he also unknowingly became the "rare genius in a thousand years" of the Shuangji Sect.
That day he became famous in a battle at Wanjian Peak and became the subject of discussion in the entire sect overnight. Chu Danfeng was concerned about the agreement with the sect master, so he thought of many excuses to deal with the encounter in Baigui Valley, but all his preparations were in vain.
Because the head of the sect, Lin Cangfeng, had already given an official explanation: after the golden elixir of Chu Danfeng, an inner sect disciple of Lixu Peak, was shattered, the head of the sect personally taught him the secret book of the sect. This method is just suitable for people without elixir, but it has extremely high requirements for aptitude and is extremely difficult to practice. However, "Chu Danfeng is a genius" and has made some achievements. Finally, when he drew the sword at Wanjian Peak, he realized the great way.
When the rumor of "official approval" spread, no one in the entire Shuangji Sect dared to look down on Chu Danfeng anymore. His popularity was even greater than that of Liu Yanbai and Zhou Yuanshan.
Chu Danfeng, who only wanted to enjoy his retirement, couldn't stand the endless visits, so he simply lied and said he was in seclusion. While taking care of his "sick" junior brother, he huddled in a thick quilt, eating snacks and warming himself by the fire - in the blink of an eye, winter had arrived.
"Fifth brother, we have a visitor!" a little boy reported respectfully outside the bamboo house.
Before Chu Danfeng could say "No visitors", the little boy added obediently: "Fifth Senior Brother, it's Senior Sister Tang and the others!"
"…" Chu Danfeng, "Then please come in quickly. It's snowing hard on the mountain. They are girls, don't let them get frozen."
Others may not see them, but Tang Yingdong and the others have become friends ever since they spoke up for them at Wanjian Peak and they have been through so much since then.
"I know! Fifth Senior Brother is the most kind and gentle to women." The little boy ran away with a smile.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Hua Tingxuan endured 9981 times of bone-cutting and flesh-digging cleansing, successfully stripped away the inner demon, sealed it in his sea of consciousness, and endured it in a daze for a long time. He finally recovered his soul and was able to wake up.
It has been three months since he last saw his senior brother. He really missed him. Even when he was hiding in his sea of consciousness, Hua Tingxuan could feel Chu Danfeng's presence nearby. He was guarding him every day. Hua Tingxuan was moved and full of hope - Chu Danfeng cared about him so much.
I have been unconscious for so long, my junior brother must be very worried.
Hua Tingxuan's soul returned to his place, ready to welcome the caring greetings from his senior brother, who even hugged him and cried with joy.
It’s exciting just thinking about it.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a burst of extremely loud laughter.
Chu Danfeng sat at the other end of the bamboo house, wearing a red satin front-opening jacket, which made him look even more noble and elegant, like a handsome young man from a wealthy family. He was guarding the stove, with snacks piled in front of him, and surrounded by beautiful girls, who surrounded him like the moon surrounded by stars.
