The Wife of a Ghost - C266
Everything in front of my eyes started to become blurry. Mu Xuenan’s face gradually became blurry from this blurry scene. It was as though there was a thin layer of gauze covering my eyes.
It was just that the gauze was blood-red, and when it was placed in front of his eyes, it covered everything in a layer of blood-red.
My body grew hotter and hotter as the layer of blood covered me, as if a fire were burning all around me.
What was going on?
I panicked a little. I wanted to leave this place, but my body moved. The space that was tightly pressed against my body also moved. I was unable to take a single step away from this place. Not only that, I realized that I still couldn’t make a sound.
It’s getting hotter and hotter. Just what is this thing? Save me, Mu Yu, save me!
When one was on the verge of death, one would subconsciously think of the person one relied on the most. At the beginning, the temperature could be endured, so I was able to use my reasoning to call Mu Yu, but later on, the temperature gradually surpassed the limit of what I could bear.
I admit that when I was at my most dangerous and in greatest need of people, the first thing I thought of was Zishan, because I had always thought that he was the person who was best for me, who loved me the most, who would always love me. Before coming here, I had always believed that I would love him so much that I could not continue to love him until we parted ways.
However, after Mu Xue Nan repeatedly warned and hinted at me, including this assassination attempt, I suddenly felt that perhaps the love between me and Zi Sang Ming wasn’t as resolute as I thought.
We really couldn’t leave each other in our hearts, but our true communication, our true love for each other’s sake, might not have been that much. At the very least, to me, besides having a child, there didn’t seem to be anything else that I loved Sang Ming for. Compared to Mu Xue Nan’s deep sacrifice, what I had done could be said to be insignificant; any woman in the underworld could do all of this for her son Sang Ming.
Then what virtue and ability do I have to make a royal family treat me so well?
Zi Sang Ming, why would I let you love me so much?
The roasting spread from my feet to the top of my head. My scalp seemed to be burning in the roasting.
Am I going to be burned alive? Was this a divine tribulation? Let me use my life to prove, to wake up, did I love their deity to the depths, to the point of being unable to extricate myself?
The result would probably make the gods sad.
I want to go home. I want my parents, my mother is still lying in the hospital bed, her corpse is still on her body, and my father, he has to be tired of taking care of my mother by himself. I want to help him.
He felt tears welling up in his eyes. He didn’t want to be unaware that there were still so many things he was worried about.
This even included Shen Tuo, who was facing so many dangers alone.
“Yan Nuo!”
I was roasted dazed and my consciousness was drifting far away. Suddenly, a familiar voice shouts at me and forcefully pulls my consciousness, which was already floating in the air, back into my mind.
It was the voice of Zi Sang Ming.
“Don’t sleep. Open your eyes.”
But I think my eyes are open now, and I haven’t closed them, and I can see the endless darkness before me, and the faces of the people I care about, and their voices and smiles, floating in the darkness.
Mother, Father, Shen Ta, and you.
So it turns out that I love you quite a bit as well. Of all the figures I see now, you make up more than half of them.
Zi Sang Ming, you were already ingrained in my life.
But I really don’t love you as much as you think I do. I can’t even compare to Mu Xuannan!
“You are no worse than anyone else.”
Zishan Ming’s voice rang out again. Compared to earlier, it seemed to be a lot closer. However, I still couldn’t see him.
“There are many people who love me. There are countless people in the six realms.”
One of them is me, humble, can’t see the light, let you put in the dust, can’t find.
“But there is only one person I love.”
I know you want to say it’s you, but, the amount of time we have together is only a year. This year, for a god race, it’s nothing at all.
“Yan Nuo.”
While I was still thinking, a distant and ethereal voice suddenly came to my ear. A pair of large hands came from behind me and hugged me tightly.
The inside of my body was on the verge of burning, but the moment I hugged this body of mine, it was as cold as a block of ice that hadn’t melted for thousands of years. In an instant, the two heavens of ice and fire, the mental torment started to intensify, and I couldn’t help but cry out in pain as I squeezed out from the gaps between my teeth, ending up in a cold and soft kiss.
Zi Sang Ming turned my body, moved his hand from his waist to my face, and carefully held it.
“Open your eyes.” he said, in a voice so gentle it sounded like he was saying to a cloud, Don’t go.
“My eyes are open, but I can’t see you.”
All I can see is the endless darkness, the people I worry about, including you, but not the real you.
“Don’t think about the guilt in your heart. You’ve never been unworthy of me, you’ve never not loved me, you’ve always loved me, I know.”
However, it did not have the depth it should have.
I love one-sided, even selfish.
“Yan Nuo.” Zi Sang Ming grabbed my hand and placed it on his chest. He passed through layers of complicated clothes and landed on the spot where his heart was.
I nodded, hard, and shook the tears from my eyes.
“I can feel it.”
My heart is beating very hard right now, it already has its own rhythm, you are the one who woke it up, do you know, in the Underworld, regardless of whether it is the royal family or the normal ghosts, our hearts are all a stiff decoration, if we don’t meet someone we can’t let go of, it will forever stay in the same position, just to keep this piece of flesh from collapsing.
“It’s you. To let This King know that the heartbeat feels like this. It’s very strange and unbelievable.”
Stop talking, I can’t support such a huge amount of love like you, I, I’m just a selfish person.
Don’t hide, “Zi Sang Ming once again grabbed my retracted hand and pressed it to his chest,” You don’t have to be like the others and be obedient to me. You only need to be yourself, the selfish one in your heart, and be jealous.
I had nothing to say.
Women’s ears were truly soft. A few sweet words can make you change your mind and forget what you said a few minutes ago.
Before you came in, you clearly saw that fake person and wanted to die trying to cut off all ties with him, but now, when you were in the worst of times, the person you wanted to hug the most was him, the person you wanted to see the most was him, the person you wanted to shout out the most was him, a relationship, as long as you took it seriously, as long as you admitted it in your heart, a woman, you could almost say, had already lost.
He lost miserably.
Zi Sang Ming held me in his arms. His strength was very strong, as if he wanted to crush me into pieces and crush me into his body.
“Yan Nuo, there is no one who doesn’t covet my royal status. There are countless people in the Six Realms who wish for my soul to dissipate. If possible, they wish they could tear me into ten thousand pieces, eat my flesh and drink my blood before going to snatch the Ghost Seal away. They wish to rule over the largest of these Six Realms themselves.”
“I was born in the Underworld, and have seen many kinds of death since birth. Dead or injured, I will never die. A few hundred years ago, I thought I was numb and could face everyone, the rise and fall of every realm, until I met you.”
At that time, I wanted to obtain the Ghost Seal, and I wanted to be like my father, standing at the top of the God race and looking down on all living things. But later on, when I found out that my heart was starting to beat because of you, I knew that the attraction of this position of the Ghost King had already greatly decreased. If I had to choose between you and the Ghost King, I would have chosen you without hesitation.
Zi Sang Ming had never said so much in one breath before. His voice was slightly hoarse, but each and every one of his words were clear and warm and painful as they fell on his heart.
Yan Nuo, you have the bones of a beauty in your body right now, Rakshasi blood, you are no longer in the five elements, so you don’t need to die, but, as you have thought, at present, you are still a mortal after all. You have parents to raise, and your parents can’t accept that the person beside you is a person who can’t live in the mortal world.
They spent a long time together, under the mortal sun, under the knees of their parents, under the light blue sky.
Zi Sang Ming, do you really think this way?
The scene that was floating before his eyes slowly faded away. A thick black hammer smashed into my eyes. I finally had a feeling that my eyes were closed, and then I struggled to open them.
Zi Sang Ming, don’t say anymore. I know, I already know. It doesn’t matter if you are a god or a demon, I know. All I want is a certainty, an answer, or a promise from your mouth that will let me know the weight I hold in your heart.
Perhaps the fire in my body had glued my eyelids together, but it seemed to me that the way I opened my eyes was not like opening them, but rather like forcefully slicing a slit through them.
A thick liquid flowed down from his eyes and fell onto my wrist, which was reaching towards his chest. It was burning hot.
“Zi Sang Ming, is what you said true?” When I saw him, I wanted to ask him for confirmation so I could hear him say, “Did you lie to me just now?”
Zi Sang Ming bent over and lightly touched my lips. “Really, my son, Sang Ming, swore to the heavens and to all living beings in the underworld that every word he said to Yan Nuo was true. If there was even half a lie, my soul would have scattered.”
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed behind Sang Ming. To my surprise, a blinding flash of light instantly turned into an incantation. It floated down from the sky and landed on Sang Ming’s back. Immediately after, a magic wheel lit up.
“What’s this?”
Zi Sang Ming smiled and didn’t say anything. He waited until the golden light from the magic wheel disappeared before Feng Qingyun said to me in a calm voice, “Underworld King has made a venomous oath.”
