Chapter 206: That time it was about seeking death; this time, it's about seeking life.
Chapter 206: That time it was about seeking death; this time, it's about seeking life.
Han Luo raised her hand and wiped the bloodstains off Jing Shu's face, then flicked Jing Shu's forehead.
"When we get back, I want to see you wearing it."
The nascent soul and Xiao Jingshu were suppressing their laughter inside Jingshu's body when they heard Hanluo say, "It's you guys, none of you will escape."
Yuan Ying and Xiao Jing Shu were no longer laughing.
Jingyou coughed heavily, indicating that he was still there.
However, Jing Shu couldn't hear, and Han Luo didn't care at all.
Jingyou: "..."
Oh no, it came out of the dog's body too early...
Fortunately, Jing Shu hadn't forgotten his younger brother. He turned to look in Jing You's direction and asked, "Is Xiao You here?"
Jingyou's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes! It's here, it's here!"
Han Luo hummed in agreement.
"Then we should wake up. Master and Xiaoyou can wait here." Jing Shu finished speaking and was about to leave, but Han Luo grabbed his arm.
"I'm with you."
Jing Shu paused for a moment, then said softly, "Okay..."
"What do you mean? What kind of riddle are you playing? I want to join in!" Jingyou didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from following along.
Jing Shu put his arm around Han Luo's waist and led him to the cliff where Han Luo had jumped off.
Returning to the same place, Jing Shu's state of mind was no longer the same as before.
That time it was to die, but this time it's to live.
Jingyou stood on the edge of the cliff and glanced down. Hmm... it's quite deep.
"Since this is the breakthrough point in the illusion, I'll head out now! Master, brother, see you later!"
When Kyungwoo broke free from his illusion, he committed suicide.
He hadn't known what his brother was up to until now, but it seemed he roughly knew how to break Jing Shu's illusion. To give them some privacy, Jing You decided to leave first.
Now, it was just the two of them.
"Jingshu, I will always be with you."
After saying that, Han Luo detached from the girl's body. The girl's body gradually dissipated, but Han Luo's soul tightly embraced Jing Shu.
Jing Shu couldn't see Han Luo, but perhaps because Han Luo's soul contained his divine essence, he could sense that Han Luo was holding him.
Jing Shu's lips curled up slightly, the smile like ripples slowly spreading from the deepest part of his heart.
The wind whistled in her ears, and Han Luo heard Jing Shu's voice, a voice that seemed to come from her chest, filled with endless longing.
"Master, I love you..."
……
Jing Shu suddenly opened his eyes, the intense feeling of weightlessness brought on by the illusion forcing him to lunge forward.
But instead of falling to the ground, he bumped into a warm and strong embrace, and the familiar scent made Jing Shu completely relax.
“Master…” Jing Shu reached out and wrapped his arms around Han Luo’s waist.
"Yes, I'm here." Han Luo gently patted Jing Shu's head and said softly.
Jingyou had already silently turned around when his brother hugged their master, and at the same time, he didn't forget to turn He Hao, who was in a daze, around as well.
He Hao was indeed in a state of extreme shock.
Immortal Venerable Hanluo… Fellow Daoist Jing Shu… Aren’t they… aren’t they master and disciple?!
Seeing He Hao's expression, Jing You whispered a warning, "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't say what you shouldn't say."
He Hao snapped out of his daze and nodded repeatedly, "I will absolutely not reveal a single word to anyone!"
He Hao's obedience made Jing You uneasy. He saw the past in He Hao's illusion.
He misunderstood He Hao. He Hao had never bullied him. The truth about what he had witnessed before was that He Hao was the one who told them to stop.
He also saw in the illusion that He Hao, who had been his friend in the past, had become the topic of conversation among other sect disciples.
In places unseen by Jingyou, his life was just as difficult. It was only after completely severing ties with him that He Hao was able to live a normal life and cultivate.
Jingyou watched all this in silence until "Jingyou" appeared in front of He Hao, and was killed again and again by Wu Hu and his father.
He Hao in the illusion kept trying to stop it, but he never succeeded.
He Hao repeatedly held Jingyou's gradually cooling body, expressing his regret and cowardice, and then committed suicide, repeating the cycle endlessly.
Jingyou went from being shocked at first to constantly cursing He Hao, but He Hao couldn't see or hear it.
Finally, Jingyou could no longer bear it and suddenly crawled into "Jingyou's" body, then opened his eyes and slapped He Hao hard.
"Am I really that weak in your eyes? You think I'm going to die endlessly?!"
He Hao's face swelled up instantly, but when he saw the lively Jing You, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears. He hugged Jing You tightly and kept repeating the same sentence.
"Thank goodness, you're not dead, thank goodness..."
Jingyou's body froze instantly, not only because of He Hao's sudden action, but also because of his tears.
Even though "Jingyou" died so many times, He Hao never cried...
But Jingyou quickly broke free from He Hao's embrace. "Stop wailing! Since you haven't done anything to wrong me, why haven't you said a word? Do you think you're some tragic protagonist from a storybook?!"
"I...I..." He Hao was too excited to say anything.
Seeing this, Jingyou was furious and punched He Hao hard again. Anyway, since they were in an illusion, their real bodies would be fine.
"You've died so many times, and you still got killed by them. You really can't stand to see me have an easy time!"
As he spoke, Jingyou pulled He Hao, who had collapsed to the ground, to his feet.
"He Hao, look carefully, I am Jing You now! Not the Zheng Hongliang that everyone could trample on! End this mess of a fantasy!"
Whether you want to say something to me or want to remain friends, let's talk about it outside!
……
As the memory ended, Jingyou couldn't help but cover his face, on the verge of tears.
What should he say now?
Should I apologize first? He misunderstood him before...
But... he had just told him something the last time they met.
Who asked you to meddle in other people's business...
Stop being so presumptuous...
...Is it too late for him to take it back now...?
Seeing Jing You's conflicted expression, He Hao smiled slightly and took the initiative to say, "Jing You, let bygones be bygones. Let's be friends again, okay?"
Jingyou gave a muffled "hmm," and said, "But you'd better not let your father appear in front of me, or I still won't let him off the hook."
“Okay.” He Hao readily agreed.
Just as the atmosphere was beginning to ease, a sudden change occurred at Gu Meng's place...
