As he got closer to the cherry blossom tree, numerous murmurs gradually entered Bai Lixin’s ears.
Bai Lixin rubbed his ears, calmly looked around, and found that these murmurs came from the ghosts who had been unable to speak before.
They clung to the ears of their former acquaintances, repeatedly expressing their inner grievances.
Though the humans still couldn’t see them, it seemed they could now hear these voices.
Their expressions looked abnormal, but their steps continued towards the big tree in the center.
There was a sudden breeze, and countless glowing petals fell from the tree and scattered on people’s heads.
People’s eyes gradually shifted from clarity to a confused haziness as they stared blankly at the eerie tree, slowly moving towards it.
As Bai Lixin approached, those fragmented voices grew louder and more chaotic, eager to invade his mind.
—Two people died for love, why am I the only one dead? Why didn’t you come to be with me? Why are you with someone else?
—I’m still so young, why did I die? I haven’t enjoyed life yet.
—Mom, I miss you so much, Mom.
—My child, my child, I finally see you again. I want to be with you forever.
Countless resentments formed a dense spider web, tightly binding Bai Lixin and leaving no escape.
There was another gust of wind, and cherry blossoms fluttered down again.
As if possessed, the passengers gathered around the tree’s roots, pressing their cheeks and bodies against the trunk.
Meanwhile, the passengers that were not haunted by ghosts remained somewhat aware. They stared blankly at their companions who were behaving strangely, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Some began to drag their possessed companions, hoping to pull them back. Others took out their phones, attempting to call the police.
“Why is there no signal on the phone?” someone screamed in fear. “What’s going on? What happened to them? Why have they all become like this?”
“Where are the staff?”
Fear, panic, and screams instantly filled the once peaceful and beautiful cherry blossom forest.
In just a few minutes, this place turned into a fermenting ground of gloom.
There was no wind at this time, but the cherry blossom tree began to tremble. Leaves and petals swayed, making a “swish, swish” sound, as if it were laughing loudly.
Bai Lixin searched in the crowd and saw Zhou Guang and Chai Li heading in another direction.
Just as he was about to follow them to see what would happen, he heard someone behind him shout, “Hey, the person in the tree, what are you doing? Come down quickly! Don’t do something reckless!”
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Lixin turned around, only to see Li Qiuzhi’s face, now covered in tears and fear, among the dense and dreamlike cherry blossoms.
Today, he was wearing a pure white suit with a sapphire blue tie around his neck.
On the trunk of the cherry blossom tree in front of him, a rough gray hemp rope hung there, quietly waiting for Li Qiuzhi to arrive.
He didn’t know how Li Qiuzhi had climbed to the top of the four-meter-high tree in such a short time.
With tears streaming down, Li Qiuzhi opened his mouth as if he wanted to make some plea, but soon his expression changed drastically.
The fear disappeared instantly, replaced by a calm and composed face.
Li Qiuzhi gently wiped away the tears on his face, and carefully adjusted his white suit. With a smile, he hung himself on the hemp rope in front of him amid the shocked eyes of the crowd.
Some tried to climb up to rescue him, but as soon as they touched the trunk, they immediately became dazed, completely forgetting what they were trying to do.
Li Qiuzhi hung on the rope, and after two seconds, his initially calm expression changed again.
As if suddenly awakening from a dream, he frantically struggled upon realizing he was hanging from the tree.
Both hands held on to the hemp rope that was taut due to gravity, while his legs flailed randomly in the air, trying to find a foothold.
But the more he struggled, the faster the rope tightened around his neck.
After struggling for over ten seconds, Li Qiuzhi’s strength weakened. Under the horrified and screaming crowd, his arms weakly fell down, his eyes closing in pain.
“Ah—!!!”
“He’s dead! Someone died!”
“Help!”
Screams echoed through the sky, shattering the once dreamlike paradise and tearing the final tranquility apart.
“Don’t get too close to this tree.” The little black furry monster blocked Bai Lixin, who intended to move forward, obstructing his path. “I’ve told you, it’s the eye of the storm, it has absorbed too much resentment and darkness. No matter how pure someone is, it easily brings out their dark side, making them hideous.”
“It absorbs the world’s darkness periodically and devours it. As its power increases, Dad Misfortune’s power weakens by one point, while Dad Xiao Tou suffers tenfold. Dad Xiao Tou sacrificed his life to extend Dad Misfortune’s, and at the same time feel the pain he endures. However, because he was human, he couldn’t bear so much pain, so his body quickly perished. His soul still persists, but is forced to linger within the painting.”
“Now, being alive is just torture for him.” The little black furry monster’s tone was unusually serious and solemn this time. “Please, free him.”
Bai Lixin pondered for a moment, then took out the painting from his backpack.
The once vibrant roses in “Rose Boy” had withered, leaving only dried branches and vines around the boy in the center. The sharp thorns bound the Rose Boy tightly, piercing into his skin and staining his fair skin with bright red.
The boy’s eyes were slightly closed, mouth agape in agony, as if about to scream at any moment.
The little black furry monster just glanced at it and turned its head away, urging, “You’ve wasted too much time. If you had killed Dad Xiao Tou yesterday, he wouldn’t have had to endure such pain today.” Bai Lixin looked at the big cherry blossom tree.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it becomes, just like the tree before him.
After hesitating for two seconds, Bai Lixin took out the dagger from his backpack.
The sharp dagger in his hand hovered over the face of the rose boy in the painting. “A single cut, and he’ll be freed?”
The little black furry monster glanced at him and nodded, its round body shaking up and down. “Yes, it’s best to stab the heart. This way he will die with one blow and he will die happily.”
It paused, and said softly, “Thank you.”
The sharp dagger suspended mid air slowly moved above the painting, and finally stopped at the rose boy’s chest.
Just as the dagger was mere centimeters from the canvas, and about to strike, Bai Lixin’s arm suddenly stopped. He looked at the man beside him in astonishment.
Dijia’s whole body had become blurred and distorted. Black shadows kept jumping and flickering around him, and the swaying black energy was uncontrollably absorbed by the cherry blossom tree. It was like a vacuum cleaner inhaling dense smoke, attempting to absorb all of Dijia into the tree.
Seeing this, Bai Lixin immediately put Xiao Tou’s matter aside. He quickly stowed the painting in his backpack and reached out to grab Dijia’s hand.
After a brief two seconds, Dijia had turned into black fog. As if his body was getting torn apart, he kept drifting toward the cherry blossom tree. His incorporeal form pulled and stretched, and eventually became a long black line.
Just when he was about to be absorbed into the cherry blossom tree, he felt a warm force suddenly grab him.
His body suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked back. When he saw who was pulling him back, he became furious on the spot: “Let go, are you crazy? You’ll be sucked in too!”
The usually obedient young man seemed to be a different person today. Instead of releasing his grip as commanded, he added a second hand.
The young man’s feet were firmly planted to the ground, and a long earth-colored trail had been dragged behind him.
Dijia looked at the approaching cherry blossom tree, then the determined young man behind him, and cursed without reservation, “Look at who I am. I’m not the “good person” who helped you. I’m the evil who harmed you twice. It was me who dragged you into the room in the dark and made you endure four inhuman hours. It was also me who rendered you unconscious in the bathroom!”
“I’ve only been lusting after your body from the beginning, and treated you as a plaything. I treated you just like Fei Taizong treated Xiao Tou. In my eyes, you are just a source of amusement. Bai Lixin, if you risk your life to save someone like me, you’re a fool! Just let go!”
Amidst Dijia’s hysterical ranting, Bai Lixin looked up at Dijia and gave him a fierce, malicious smile. “Fine, I’ll listen to you. I’ll let go.”
He said, and he indeed let go.
But what he released wasn’t his hands, but his feet.
Without Bai Lixin’s foothold, the black shadow and one person were like dandelions without roots. In an instant, they disappeared into the cherry blossom tree with a “whoosh.”
Everything happened so fast the little black furry monster didn’t even have time to react.
By the time it came to its senses, Bai Lixin and Dijia had already become the cherry blossom tree’s meal.
It blinked its large eyes and stared blankly at the cherry blossom tree. Two seconds later, it slumped on the grass, wailing and dancing in sorrow.
“Wuuuu, it’s over, it’s over, it’s completely over!”
“Dad Misfortune couldn’t be saved, and Dad Xiao Tou got pulled in too. Wuuu, my two brothers are still in Bai Lixin’s hands!”
“What should I do? What should I do? Wuuu, it’s all over, wuuu. Bai Lixin, you stupid fool who creates trouble! Give me back my Dad Xiao Tou and my two brothers! You bastard!”
“What did you just say?” Footsteps rustled behind it, and the little black furry monster turned its tearful eyes to see a muscular young man looking down at it. “Did you call God Xin a fool?”
The little black furry monster sniffled, tears streaming uncontrollably from its eyes. It pointed at the cherry blossom tree, and recounted what just happened, “That monster treated him like that, and he still wanted to save him. If he’s not a fool, what is he?!”
Li Cangshan glanced at the eerie cherry blossom tree, then at the little monster that was only the size on his palm. Finally, he spoke with a complex expression, “If the monster you mentioned happens to be the big boss, and if God Xin has entered that tree, I think your dad might still have a chance to be saved.”
After saying that, he grabbed the little black furry monster from the ground, “Since I’m idle anyway, let me find a place to tell you the beautiful love story of God Xin and the big boss.”
The little black furry monster’s fur stood on end: “???”
‘Don’t grab Laozi’s fur! How dare a despicable human like you try to grab Laozi with your bare hands? Have you grown tired of living?!’
…
From the moment Bai Lixin entered the cherry blossom tree, it was as if he had been caught in a tornado of blades.
Strong winds struck from all directions, stabbing his body crazily.
But the pain was only momentary; soon, his body was enveloped in a black fog. The fog completely isolated all the wind blades, securely protecting Bai Lixin within.
Bai Lixin opened his eyes and began intercepting the wind blades with his dagger. With each cut from a wind blade, a wound appeared on the fog, and at the same time, the black energy within it was partially taken away by the surrounding tornado.
If exposed to the tornado for too long, the fog’s power would be gradually taken away by these wind blades.
Bai Lixin paused and took out the shield from his backpack.
The massive shield unfolded, transforming into the most robust protection. Under the shield’s cover, Dijia also breathed a sigh of relief. He leaped and moved within the tornado, finally landing in the safest position at the center of the vortex.
The two landed slowly, and after a moment of hesitation, Dijia withdrew, revealing the young man wrapped within him.
He hesitated for two seconds before asking awkwardly, “Are you injured?”
Bai Lixin sat up cross-legged with her hands on the ground. “I knew it was you.”
Dijia paused slightly. Although the other party had only spoken a few words, he instantly understood what he meant. With a somewhat dry throat, he asked, “Since when did you know? At the Fei residence?”
Bai Lixin looked around airtight wind walls around him and shook his head. “No, it was at the Moon Bay Hotel when we first met. I left a scratch on that bastard’s arm, and you happened to have a scratch in the same place.”
“…” Dijia was silent for a few seconds, then he apologized with deep guilt, “I’m sorry.”
It was strange; the face and body of the black fog in front of him were integrated, but Bai Lixin easily found Dijia’s face within the fog. Hearing the man’s apology, Bai Lixin reached out and cradled Dijia’s face, saying seriously , “Listen to me, I am Bai Lixin. Unless I agree, no one can force me to do such things, so you don’t need to apologize to me. But if you really feel guilty, promise me one thing after we get out.”
Dijia stared blankly at the young man in front of him unable to digest the meaning of his words for a while. At this moment, he could only passively receive the signals from the young man, focusing all his attention on the last sentence. After a long time, he finally said, “Mmm, okay. If we can get out, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”
The young man then released Dijia’s face, and his eyes fell on the surrounding storm once again.
Their current location was the eye of the storm. It was not very spacious, just enough for the two of them to sit side by side. Although it was temporarily safe, it was almost impossible to leave.
Being dragged into such a place was a bit unexpected even for Bai Lixin.
He looked at the black fog, which honestly looked like a large dog, and asked, “Why were you sucked in? By the way, even in this form, you still have memories of human Dijia, right?”
The black fog nodded, “I remember now. Once we started accepting each other, memories no longer be separate.”
“I was sucked in probably because of my nature. I am a soul born in a gathering of malicious people. I am human, but not entirely. However, my human part does not accept his alternative nature. He learned a lot of etiquette and morality, suppressing all the malice that had been growing since childhood to the bottom of his heart.”
“With so much malice suppressed, it would burst out sooner or later. The day I met you, the malice was no longer under control and immediately took over this body.”
“This big tree has absorbed a lot of resentment,” Bai Lixin continued, “and your malice happens to be its favorite nourishment. So, it began absorbing you.”
Dijia nodded, “It should be. I can send you out.”
“I just tried, and my power can merge with the resentment inside. After the fusion, I can briefly control the power of this resentment. When the time comes, I will open a passage, and you can leave through it.”
Bai Lixin looked at the black fog, “What about you?”
The black fog replied, “Me? I need some time to completely digest this resentment. When the digestion is complete, I can also leave this place. I’m not purely human, so don’t worry about me.”
Bai Lixin sighed softly and suddenly hugged Dijia.
Under Dijia’s astonished gaze, Bai Lixin pressed his forehead against the black fog’s forehead. “I won’t leave you alone. We’re going to leave together.”
“From the beginning, you’ve always been waiting for me, patiently waiting for my arrival in each copy. I can never imagine what you think about every day when you are trapped alone on the 999th floor, nor can I forget everything in the Eternal Diamond Mountains. The sea filled with corpses, the blood-red thorn forest, and the corpses in diamond mountain from when you spent millions of years digging through.”
“My dearest love, please don’t leave me again. This time, I want to leave together with you.”
Incomprehensible words entered Dijia’s ears. He should have been puzzled, but in his mind, many memories he had never experienced surfaced involuntarily.
Deep, painful, unforgettable memories.
The pain of his body being torn apart repeatedly, the agony of his flesh being burned over and over again, all were not as profound as the fear of being unable to see the young man.
A torrent of memories rushed into his mind like a rushing flood. They roared and clamored, creating countless whirlpools and waves…
Time seemed to stand still.
The black fog remained frozen in place, motionless. Bai Lixin thought he might have scared him, and was about to tentatively reach out and shake the fog, but before his hand could reach halfway, a sharp thread of black fog suddenly swept over him.
In the next moment, Bai Lixin was firmly pinned to the ground by the black fog.
As the fog dispersed, Dijia’s extraordinarily handsome face was revealed.
He raised an eyebrow, and his handsome features outlined the most perfect and seductive smile.
Bai Lixin was momentarily stunned. He saw the man chuckle lightly, and his lips gently tasted him as if savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world.
“Baby, as soon as I arrived, I heard your eager and passionate confession.” He pulled Bai Lixin’s hand and slid it down, “I was almost moved to tears here.”
“If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, I would definitely fuck you right now until you couldn’t get out of bed.”
Forced to measure the size of a certain part, Bai Lixin’s head buzzed, and his face instantly burned like fire. He stammered, “You, you, you…”
Dijia looked at Bai Lixin’s cute expression and couldn’t help but block his mouth and kiss him several times. “What? What am I? When you see your dear husband coming, why don’t you hurry to call out the words I like to hear? Whether it’s a stern gaze or a tender look, it’s all directed at my soul fragment. Are you trying to provoke me until I can’t resist kissing you?”
Bai Lixin blushed even more, “You, you shameless rogue!”
“Heh,” Dijia lifted Bai Lixin’s chin and looked at him, “I don’t like to hear that. It seems like you’ve become more daring after going out to play for awhile. If you really want it, then wait until we get out of here. I’ll let you scream out properly.”
Bai Lixin felt like his face had turned into a red apple, “…”
‘Ah, how could he be so dirty?
Return my pure and ascetic Dijia.’
S419: […]
‘Ahh, I’m about to go crazy.
The Lord God is indeed the Lord God, his combat power instantly explodes when he goes into battle in person.
Unprecedented, unparalleled.’
Bai Lixin lay motionless on the ground, feeling a hand moving randomly on his body.
He glanced at Dijia in embarrassment, then shyly averted his gaze.
Just when he thought Dijia was going to do something, Dijia suddenly let go of him.
Bai Lixin hesitated for a moment, then looked over in confusion, only to see Dijia casually playing with a Rubik’s Cube and looking at him with a smirk, “Why are you looking at me with that expression? Are you so eager for something to happen here?”
Bai Lixin’s face turned red again. He quickly adjusted his clothes, coughed lightly, and changed the topic, “Do you know what this Rubik’s Cube is for?”
Dijia coolly rotated the Rubik’s Cube with one hand, “Originally, I didn’t know, but I suddenly understood when I got here. Let me tell you how to play with this toy.”
After saying that, he tapped the Rubik’s Cube a couple of times and casually threw it into the air.
The originally unremarkable Rubik’s Cube floated in the air.
It began to enlarge and rotate on its own. During the rotation, the Rubik’s Cube constantly changed and moved, gradually turning from a six-color cube into a single dazzling golden color. Finally, it completely transformed into a giant box.
Dijia snapped his fingers at the box, and the lid of the box instantly opened.
At the same time, the tornado that had been causing them a headache rushed toward the box.
With his back to the raging wind, Dijia’s clothes fluttered in the wind handsomely. He smiled arrogantly at Bai Lixin. “This is a little gift for you, a divine prop – Pandora’s Box. I hope you like it.”
Bai Lixin stared blankly at the domineering Dijia and was momentarily dazzled.
‘Wow, my old gong is so handsome. So handsome that I can’t get tired of looking at him even after 30,000 years.’
S419: [Pandora’s Box? You call a divine prop others desperately want a little gift? Is this the the Lord God’s way of being romantic?]
‘Lord God, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time!
You deserve to be a crazy doting husband, and you deserve to be able to catch a good man like the Lord Host.
Can you two please lock it up already!
I am your number one CP fan!’
As he got closer to the cherry blossom tree, numerous murmurs gradually entered Bai Lixin’s ears.
Bai Lixin rubbed his ears, calmly looked around, and found that these murmurs came from the ghosts who had been unable to speak before.
They clung to the ears of their former acquaintances, repeatedly expressing their inner grievances.
Though the humans still couldn’t see them, it seemed they could now hear these voices.
Their expressions looked abnormal, but their steps continued towards the big tree in the center.
There was a sudden breeze, and countless glowing petals fell from the tree and scattered on people’s heads.
People’s eyes gradually shifted from clarity to a confused haziness as they stared blankly at the eerie tree, slowly moving towards it.
As Bai Lixin approached, those fragmented voices grew louder and more chaotic, eager to invade his mind.
—Two people died for love, why am I the only one dead? Why didn’t you come to be with me? Why are you with someone else?
—I’m still so young, why did I die? I haven’t enjoyed life yet.
—Mom, I miss you so much, Mom.
—My child, my child, I finally see you again. I want to be with you forever.
Countless resentments formed a dense spider web, tightly binding Bai Lixin and leaving no escape.
There was another gust of wind, and cherry blossoms fluttered down again.
As if possessed, the passengers gathered around the tree’s roots, pressing their cheeks and bodies against the trunk.
Meanwhile, the passengers that were not haunted by ghosts remained somewhat aware. They stared blankly at their companions who were behaving strangely, and finally realized that something was wrong.
Some began to drag their possessed companions, hoping to pull them back. Others took out their phones, attempting to call the police.
“Why is there no signal on the phone?” someone screamed in fear. “What’s going on? What happened to them? Why have they all become like this?”
“Where are the staff?”
Fear, panic, and screams instantly filled the once peaceful and beautiful cherry blossom forest.
In just a few minutes, this place turned into a fermenting ground of gloom.
There was no wind at this time, but the cherry blossom tree began to tremble. Leaves and petals swayed, making a “swish, swish” sound, as if it were laughing loudly.
Bai Lixin searched in the crowd and saw Zhou Guang and Chai Li heading in another direction.
Just as he was about to follow them to see what would happen, he heard someone behind him shout, “Hey, the person in the tree, what are you doing? Come down quickly! Don’t do something reckless!”
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Lixin turned around, only to see Li Qiuzhi’s face, now covered in tears and fear, among the dense and dreamlike cherry blossoms.
Today, he was wearing a pure white suit with a sapphire blue tie around his neck.
On the trunk of the cherry blossom tree in front of him, a rough gray hemp rope hung there, quietly waiting for Li Qiuzhi to arrive.
He didn’t know how Li Qiuzhi had climbed to the top of the four-meter-high tree in such a short time.
With tears streaming down, Li Qiuzhi opened his mouth as if he wanted to make some plea, but soon his expression changed drastically.
The fear disappeared instantly, replaced by a calm and composed face.
Li Qiuzhi gently wiped away the tears on his face, and carefully adjusted his white suit. With a smile, he hung himself on the hemp rope in front of him amid the shocked eyes of the crowd.
Some tried to climb up to rescue him, but as soon as they touched the trunk, they immediately became dazed, completely forgetting what they were trying to do.
Li Qiuzhi hung on the rope, and after two seconds, his initially calm expression changed again.
As if suddenly awakening from a dream, he frantically struggled upon realizing he was hanging from the tree.
Both hands held on to the hemp rope that was taut due to gravity, while his legs flailed randomly in the air, trying to find a foothold.
But the more he struggled, the faster the rope tightened around his neck.
After struggling for over ten seconds, Li Qiuzhi’s strength weakened. Under the horrified and screaming crowd, his arms weakly fell down, his eyes closing in pain.
“Ah—!!!”
“He’s dead! Someone died!”
“Help!”
Screams echoed through the sky, shattering the once dreamlike paradise and tearing the final tranquility apart.
“Don’t get too close to this tree.” The little black furry monster blocked Bai Lixin, who intended to move forward, obstructing his path. “I’ve told you, it’s the eye of the storm, it has absorbed too much resentment and darkness. No matter how pure someone is, it easily brings out their dark side, making them hideous.”
“It absorbs the world’s darkness periodically and devours it. As its power increases, Dad Misfortune’s power weakens by one point, while Dad Xiao Tou suffers tenfold. Dad Xiao Tou sacrificed his life to extend Dad Misfortune’s, and at the same time feel the pain he endures. However, because he was human, he couldn’t bear so much pain, so his body quickly perished. His soul still persists, but is forced to linger within the painting.”
“Now, being alive is just torture for him.” The little black furry monster’s tone was unusually serious and solemn this time. “Please, free him.”
Bai Lixin pondered for a moment, then took out the painting from his backpack.
The once vibrant roses in “Rose Boy” had withered, leaving only dried branches and vines around the boy in the center. The sharp thorns bound the Rose Boy tightly, piercing into his skin and staining his fair skin with bright red.
The boy’s eyes were slightly closed, mouth agape in agony, as if about to scream at any moment.
The little black furry monster just glanced at it and turned its head away, urging, “You’ve wasted too much time. If you had killed Dad Xiao Tou yesterday, he wouldn’t have had to endure such pain today.” Bai Lixin looked at the big cherry blossom tree.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it becomes, just like the tree before him.
After hesitating for two seconds, Bai Lixin took out the dagger from his backpack.
The sharp dagger in his hand hovered over the face of the rose boy in the painting. “A single cut, and he’ll be freed?”
The little black furry monster glanced at him and nodded, its round body shaking up and down. “Yes, it’s best to stab the heart. This way he will die with one blow and he will die happily.”
It paused, and said softly, “Thank you.”
The sharp dagger suspended mid air slowly moved above the painting, and finally stopped at the rose boy’s chest.
Just as the dagger was mere centimeters from the canvas, and about to strike, Bai Lixin’s arm suddenly stopped. He looked at the man beside him in astonishment.
Dijia’s whole body had become blurred and distorted. Black shadows kept jumping and flickering around him, and the swaying black energy was uncontrollably absorbed by the cherry blossom tree. It was like a vacuum cleaner inhaling dense smoke, attempting to absorb all of Dijia into the tree.
Seeing this, Bai Lixin immediately put Xiao Tou’s matter aside. He quickly stowed the painting in his backpack and reached out to grab Dijia’s hand.
After a brief two seconds, Dijia had turned into black fog. As if his body was getting torn apart, he kept drifting toward the cherry blossom tree. His incorporeal form pulled and stretched, and eventually became a long black line.
Just when he was about to be absorbed into the cherry blossom tree, he felt a warm force suddenly grab him.
His body suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked back. When he saw who was pulling him back, he became furious on the spot: “Let go, are you crazy? You’ll be sucked in too!”
The usually obedient young man seemed to be a different person today. Instead of releasing his grip as commanded, he added a second hand.
The young man’s feet were firmly planted to the ground, and a long earth-colored trail had been dragged behind him.
Dijia looked at the approaching cherry blossom tree, then the determined young man behind him, and cursed without reservation, “Look at who I am. I’m not the “good person” who helped you. I’m the evil who harmed you twice. It was me who dragged you into the room in the dark and made you endure four inhuman hours. It was also me who rendered you unconscious in the bathroom!”
“I’ve only been lusting after your body from the beginning, and treated you as a plaything. I treated you just like Fei Taizong treated Xiao Tou. In my eyes, you are just a source of amusement. Bai Lixin, if you risk your life to save someone like me, you’re a fool! Just let go!”
Amidst Dijia’s hysterical ranting, Bai Lixin looked up at Dijia and gave him a fierce, malicious smile. “Fine, I’ll listen to you. I’ll let go.”
He said, and he indeed let go.
But what he released wasn’t his hands, but his feet.
Without Bai Lixin’s foothold, the black shadow and one person were like dandelions without roots. In an instant, they disappeared into the cherry blossom tree with a “whoosh.”
Everything happened so fast the little black furry monster didn’t even have time to react.
By the time it came to its senses, Bai Lixin and Dijia had already become the cherry blossom tree’s meal.
It blinked its large eyes and stared blankly at the cherry blossom tree. Two seconds later, it slumped on the grass, wailing and dancing in sorrow.
“Wuuuu, it’s over, it’s over, it’s completely over!”
“Dad Misfortune couldn’t be saved, and Dad Xiao Tou got pulled in too. Wuuu, my two brothers are still in Bai Lixin’s hands!”
“What should I do? What should I do? Wuuu, it’s all over, wuuu. Bai Lixin, you stupid fool who creates trouble! Give me back my Dad Xiao Tou and my two brothers! You bastard!”
“What did you just say?” Footsteps rustled behind it, and the little black furry monster turned its tearful eyes to see a muscular young man looking down at it. “Did you call God Xin a fool?”
The little black furry monster sniffled, tears streaming uncontrollably from its eyes. It pointed at the cherry blossom tree, and recounted what just happened, “That monster treated him like that, and he still wanted to save him. If he’s not a fool, what is he?!”
Li Cangshan glanced at the eerie cherry blossom tree, then at the little monster that was only the size on his palm. Finally, he spoke with a complex expression, “If the monster you mentioned happens to be the big boss, and if God Xin has entered that tree, I think your dad might still have a chance to be saved.”
After saying that, he grabbed the little black furry monster from the ground, “Since I’m idle anyway, let me find a place to tell you the beautiful love story of God Xin and the big boss.”
The little black furry monster’s fur stood on end: “???”
‘Don’t grab Laozi’s fur! How dare a despicable human like you try to grab Laozi with your bare hands? Have you grown tired of living?!’
…
From the moment Bai Lixin entered the cherry blossom tree, it was as if he had been caught in a tornado of blades.
Strong winds struck from all directions, stabbing his body crazily.
But the pain was only momentary; soon, his body was enveloped in a black fog. The fog completely isolated all the wind blades, securely protecting Bai Lixin within.
Bai Lixin opened his eyes and began intercepting the wind blades with his dagger. With each cut from a wind blade, a wound appeared on the fog, and at the same time, the black energy within it was partially taken away by the surrounding tornado.
If exposed to the tornado for too long, the fog’s power would be gradually taken away by these wind blades.
Bai Lixin paused and took out the shield from his backpack.
The massive shield unfolded, transforming into the most robust protection. Under the shield’s cover, Dijia also breathed a sigh of relief. He leaped and moved within the tornado, finally landing in the safest position at the center of the vortex.
The two landed slowly, and after a moment of hesitation, Dijia withdrew, revealing the young man wrapped within him.
He hesitated for two seconds before asking awkwardly, “Are you injured?”
Bai Lixin sat up cross-legged with her hands on the ground. “I knew it was you.”
Dijia paused slightly. Although the other party had only spoken a few words, he instantly understood what he meant. With a somewhat dry throat, he asked, “Since when did you know? At the Fei residence?”
Bai Lixin looked around airtight wind walls around him and shook his head. “No, it was at the Moon Bay Hotel when we first met. I left a scratch on that bastard’s arm, and you happened to have a scratch in the same place.”
“…” Dijia was silent for a few seconds, then he apologized with deep guilt, “I’m sorry.”
It was strange; the face and body of the black fog in front of him were integrated, but Bai Lixin easily found Dijia’s face within the fog. Hearing the man’s apology, Bai Lixin reached out and cradled Dijia’s face, saying seriously , “Listen to me, I am Bai Lixin. Unless I agree, no one can force me to do such things, so you don’t need to apologize to me. But if you really feel guilty, promise me one thing after we get out.”
Dijia stared blankly at the young man in front of him unable to digest the meaning of his words for a while. At this moment, he could only passively receive the signals from the young man, focusing all his attention on the last sentence. After a long time, he finally said, “Mmm, okay. If we can get out, I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”
The young man then released Dijia’s face, and his eyes fell on the surrounding storm once again.
Their current location was the eye of the storm. It was not very spacious, just enough for the two of them to sit side by side. Although it was temporarily safe, it was almost impossible to leave.
Being dragged into such a place was a bit unexpected even for Bai Lixin.
He looked at the black fog, which honestly looked like a large dog, and asked, “Why were you sucked in? By the way, even in this form, you still have memories of human Dijia, right?”
The black fog nodded, “I remember now. Once we started accepting each other, memories no longer be separate.”
“I was sucked in probably because of my nature. I am a soul born in a gathering of malicious people. I am human, but not entirely. However, my human part does not accept his alternative nature. He learned a lot of etiquette and morality, suppressing all the malice that had been growing since childhood to the bottom of his heart.”
“With so much malice suppressed, it would burst out sooner or later. The day I met you, the malice was no longer under control and immediately took over this body.”
“This big tree has absorbed a lot of resentment,” Bai Lixin continued, “and your malice happens to be its favorite nourishment. So, it began absorbing you.”
Dijia nodded, “It should be. I can send you out.”
“I just tried, and my power can merge with the resentment inside. After the fusion, I can briefly control the power of this resentment. When the time comes, I will open a passage, and you can leave through it.”
Bai Lixin looked at the black fog, “What about you?”
The black fog replied, “Me? I need some time to completely digest this resentment. When the digestion is complete, I can also leave this place. I’m not purely human, so don’t worry about me.”
Bai Lixin sighed softly and suddenly hugged Dijia.
Under Dijia’s astonished gaze, Bai Lixin pressed his forehead against the black fog’s forehead. “I won’t leave you alone. We’re going to leave together.”
“From the beginning, you’ve always been waiting for me, patiently waiting for my arrival in each copy. I can never imagine what you think about every day when you are trapped alone on the 999th floor, nor can I forget everything in the Eternal Diamond Mountains. The sea filled with corpses, the blood-red thorn forest, and the corpses in diamond mountain from when you spent millions of years digging through.”
“My dearest love, please don’t leave me again. This time, I want to leave together with you.”
Incomprehensible words entered Dijia’s ears. He should have been puzzled, but in his mind, many memories he had never experienced surfaced involuntarily.
Deep, painful, unforgettable memories.
The pain of his body being torn apart repeatedly, the agony of his flesh being burned over and over again, all were not as profound as the fear of being unable to see the young man.
A torrent of memories rushed into his mind like a rushing flood. They roared and clamored, creating countless whirlpools and waves…
Time seemed to stand still.
The black fog remained frozen in place, motionless. Bai Lixin thought he might have scared him, and was about to tentatively reach out and shake the fog, but before his hand could reach halfway, a sharp thread of black fog suddenly swept over him.
In the next moment, Bai Lixin was firmly pinned to the ground by the black fog.
As the fog dispersed, Dijia’s extraordinarily handsome face was revealed.
He raised an eyebrow, and his handsome features outlined the most perfect and seductive smile.
Bai Lixin was momentarily stunned. He saw the man chuckle lightly, and his lips gently tasted him as if savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world.
“Baby, as soon as I arrived, I heard your eager and passionate confession.” He pulled Bai Lixin’s hand and slid it down, “I was almost moved to tears here.”
“If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, I would definitely fuck you right now until you couldn’t get out of bed.”
Forced to measure the size of a certain part, Bai Lixin’s head buzzed, and his face instantly burned like fire. He stammered, “You, you, you…”
Dijia looked at Bai Lixin’s cute expression and couldn’t help but block his mouth and kiss him several times. “What? What am I? When you see your dear husband coming, why don’t you hurry to call out the words I like to hear? Whether it’s a stern gaze or a tender look, it’s all directed at my soul fragment. Are you trying to provoke me until I can’t resist kissing you?”
Bai Lixin blushed even more, “You, you shameless rogue!”
“Heh,” Dijia lifted Bai Lixin’s chin and looked at him, “I don’t like to hear that. It seems like you’ve become more daring after going out to play for awhile. If you really want it, then wait until we get out of here. I’ll let you scream out properly.”
Bai Lixin felt like his face had turned into a red apple, “…”
‘Ah, how could he be so dirty?
Return my pure and ascetic Dijia.’
S419: […]
‘Ahh, I’m about to go crazy.
The Lord God is indeed the Lord God, his combat power instantly explodes when he goes into battle in person.
Unprecedented, unparalleled.’
Bai Lixin lay motionless on the ground, feeling a hand moving randomly on his body.
He glanced at Dijia in embarrassment, then shyly averted his gaze.
Just when he thought Dijia was going to do something, Dijia suddenly let go of him.
Bai Lixin hesitated for a moment, then looked over in confusion, only to see Dijia casually playing with a Rubik’s Cube and looking at him with a smirk, “Why are you looking at me with that expression? Are you so eager for something to happen here?”
Bai Lixin’s face turned red again. He quickly adjusted his clothes, coughed lightly, and changed the topic, “Do you know what this Rubik’s Cube is for?”
Dijia coolly rotated the Rubik’s Cube with one hand, “Originally, I didn’t know, but I suddenly understood when I got here. Let me tell you how to play with this toy.”
After saying that, he tapped the Rubik’s Cube a couple of times and casually threw it into the air.
The originally unremarkable Rubik’s Cube floated in the air.
It began to enlarge and rotate on its own. During the rotation, the Rubik’s Cube constantly changed and moved, gradually turning from a six-color cube into a single dazzling golden color. Finally, it completely transformed into a giant box.
Dijia snapped his fingers at the box, and the lid of the box instantly opened.
At the same time, the tornado that had been causing them a headache rushed toward the box.
With his back to the raging wind, Dijia’s clothes fluttered in the wind handsomely. He smiled arrogantly at Bai Lixin. “This is a little gift for you, a divine prop – Pandora’s Box. I hope you like it.”
Bai Lixin stared blankly at the domineering Dijia and was momentarily dazzled.
‘Wow, my old gong is so handsome. So handsome that I can’t get tired of looking at him even after 30,000 years.’
S419: [Pandora’s Box? You call a divine prop others desperately want a little gift? Is this the the Lord God’s way of being romantic?]
‘Lord God, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time!
You deserve to be a crazy doting husband, and you deserve to be able to catch a good man like the Lord Host.
Can you two please lock it up already!
I am your number one CP fan!’
