Hua Qian Gu tried to use her internal energy, but she could not do so because there was a mysterious pressure in her stomach, preventing her from using her power. She pressed an acupoint on Nan Wu Yue to wake him up. He was surprised to find himself in prison and not in the black hole. Hua Qian Gu asked him if he was afraid to die, and he said no. She told him to run away if there is a chance, but he should try his best to never harm innocent people. Nan Wu Yue did not want to leave her behind, but she felt she had to stay at Chang Liu because she deserved to be punished.
It was damp and dark everywhere, the silence was like death, no other prisoners were seen. The Court of Law implemented penalties quickly and rigidly, rarely imprisoning anyone so the prison temporarily detained the accused before deciding what is to be done.
It was difficult to know how much time had passed, the sound of someone was suddenly heard. Hua Qian Gu looked up, it was Dong Fang Yu Qing. She knew he would find a way to visit.
“Gu Tou……” Dong Fang Yu Qing held her hand tightly through the bars, “You’ve suffered……”
“Gu Tou mama!” Tang Bao jumped from his shoulder onto her face, big tears began to fall. Why did she not take it with her, why did she take such a big risk? It would ignore her from now on! Hateful Gu Tou! Huhuhu……
Hua Qian Gu hugged Dong Fang Yu Qing, Tang Bao rubbed back and forth against her face, she could not help but felt teary.
“This is Nan Wu Yue, you’ve already seen him.” Hua Qian Gu sniffed, pushing Nan Wu Yue before Dong Fang Yu Qing.
“Xiao Yue, this is Dong Fang Yu Qing and Tang Bao I’ve told you about.””
Nan Wu Yue was shy and peered his head out from behind Hua Qian Gu: “Hello……”
This was his first time meeting strangers beside Hua Qian Gu, he felt uncomfortable. However, seeing the curved eyes and a smile warm like the sun from Dong Fang Yu Qing, his hesitation and shyness disappeared.
Tang Bao jumped on his shoulder, he carefully used his finger to poke it, how soft, he happily looked at Hua Qian Gu and smiled: “Hua Hua, worm Tang Bao is really cute!”
Tang Bao clung onto his finger and lovingly rubbed against it, really liking the clean and innocent scent on his body, he did not seem like the Demon God at all.
Dong Fang Yu Qing laughed: “We have two kids now!”
Hua Qian Gu lightly flicked at his forehead: “Have the immortals reached a decision?”
Dong Fang Yu Qing’s face hardened a bit: “The Demon God will be killed, but they’re still deciding how and when to kill him. The power of the Demon God is too great, only weakening when the moon is full, but they don’t want to wait until a lunar year and a lunar month, afraid dragging this out would cause more trouble. They chose July 15th of next year to gather at Mount KunLun, set up the heavenly Wan Gui Hun formation, invite all 182 deities and Buddhas to destroy the true form of the Demon God. Then they will seal his power into the 16 holy instruments……”
Hua Qian Gu nodded: “How fortunate, there’s still a lot of time left, you must help me rescue Xiao Yue, he hasn’t done anything!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll think of something. What about you? Someone will come to interrogate you, they won’t delay your punishment……”
“No big deal, I already knew this day would happen when I decided to do this. You must take good care of Xiao Yue and Tang Bao so I won’t have to worry.”
“You speak so lightly, do you know how cruel the punishment will be?”
“I’m a disciple of Chang Liu, of course I know, even the disciple of the Sect Leader could not avoid death. If Teacher is merciful, he would let me die quickly.”
Dong Fang Yu Qing’s face worsened: “If you confess the truth to Bai Zi Hua, maybe he’ll save you.”
Hua Qian Gu shook her head: “The Zhu Xian Pillar, in 500 years has crucified 66 immortals, not only did they lose their immortality but half of them had their souls destroyed. I know Teacher. Wrong is wrong, the punishment won’t change.”
“Gu Tou, you don’t have to do so much and bear so much grievances because of Bai Zi Hua. He has the right to know the truth!”
“Dong Fang, I know what you mean, don’t think I’m a great person, silently bearing all the unfairness. Not telling him, it’s because I don’t want him to feel pain. No matter what happens, the punishment won’t change. Even if he doesn’t want to do it, he’ll still punish me. If the truth is difficult for him, then it’s better if he doesn’t know. Actually, my heart hopes somewhat, if he knows one day, he’ll be less angry at me, he’ll miss me more. If he knows, I’ll feel a little bad dying at his hands. Not letting him know, it’s my selfishness to deceive myself so I can feel better. Do you understand?”
Dong Fang Yu Qing was silent for awhile before nodding. She was willing to let Bai Zi Hua kill her without knowing the truth, she wanted to lie to herself that he still loves her, he just could not understand her, not knowing the truth. She did not want Bai Zi Hua to know and still cruelly kill her according to the rules of Chang Liu.
Gu Tou, do you know how deeply you have come to love him?
Dong Fang Yu Qing sighed, but you underestimated your worth to Bai Zi Hua. Perhaps, even if you committed the worst crimes, slaughter the sect, destroy the world, he would rather betray his own principles, what if he could not bear to kill you?
The two of them sat together, looking at Xiao Yue sitting on the ground playing with Tang Bao, sometimes spinning it in circles, sometimes rolling it. Poor little Tang Bao was teased until its head reeled and its eyes saw stars.
“Bai Zi Hua is kind, wanting me to bring Tang Bao to see you for the last time. Qing Shui, Luo Shi Yi, Huo Xi, Wu Qing Luo, Xiu Mu Qing Liu and even Yun Duan are anxious and standing outside watching, but they can’t go in. They wanted to tell you to take care of yourself, when it’s time for the interrogation by the three Heads, you mustn’t stay silent like a clam, but you shouldn’t be impulsive and accept all the charges.”
Hua Qian Gu was moved and nodded: “Of course, I won’t admit to things I didn’t do. You can tell them not to worry……”
It seemed as if people were coming, her time to be interrogated had arrived.
Dong Fang Yu Qing suddenly leaned down, his voice sweet like honey: “I want to believe in Bai Zi Hua, but he’s too deep so I can’t guess, and I don’t dare to bet your life in his hands. This means you need to fight hard……”
“What……”
Hua Qian Gu was about to open her mouth, Dong Fang Yu Qing used a kiss to absorb all her words.
Nan Wu Yue was startled and looked that way, as if aware they were doing something embarrassing, quickly putting a hand over his eyes, his other hand covered Tang Bao’s eyes, then he could not help but peeked curiously through his fingers.
“Dong Fang…… um……” Hua Qian Gu’s legs weakened, her mind was in a blur. Dong Fang Yu Qing’s lingering kiss was extremely gentle, but it was deep and powerful, embedding into her bones. She could not use force, just stared at him with her eyes wide open in panic.
Why? Although Dong Fang Yu Qing had been saying for a long time that she was his wife, using this to tease her, but that was it, he never crossed the line.
This kiss was different from the bloody kiss when Teacher lost consciousness, it was fiery, powerful like a wildfire across a grass plain, skillful and consciously searing for every inches of softness behind her lips. She clumsily tried to avoid his tongue, gulping for air until she trembled.
The lingering kiss lasted a long time, Dong Fang Yu Qing finally let her go, his eyes were complicated like never before, and there was a fervor different from his usual calm demeanor.
Gently touching her nose, feeling each other’s breathing and heartbeats, they were quiet.
“You……” Hua Qian Gu was confused and wanted to say something.
Dong Fang Yu Qing shushed her with his finger, Hua Qian Gu’s mouth closed immediately, she could not speak no matter what.
Looking at the grin on Dong Fang Yu Qing’s face, Hua Qian Gu suddenly remembered the first time she saw Yi Xiu Jun.
……
“If my tongue touches someone else's tongue, within the burning of an incense stick, everything spoken will be controlled by me!”
“Huh, why would I let your tongue touch mine?”
……
So it is like that, who would have thought……
“Dong Fang! Stop it, undo the incantation quickly!” Hua Qian Gu panicked.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just make you tell the truth when asked. I know you don’t want to live anymore, you’re willing to be punished, you don’t want to explain no matter what crimes are charged against you. If you’re like that, Bai Zi Hua can’t save you even if he wants to.”
“Dong Fang! What are you saying! Teacher is always fair in giving out rewards and punishments, he won’t be biased. Don’t joke, undo the incantation quickly for me!” Hua Qian Gu’s face began to pale, her love for Teacher would be discovered if someone wants to know why she did it.
Looking at Hua Qian Gu terrified like a fawn, Dong Fang Yu Qing laughed wildly.
“It’s easy to undo the incantation, you only have to kiss me……”
Hua Qian Gu hesitated for a moment, silently pulled at his neck, kissing him. Dong Fang Yu Qing sighed, embracing her tightly. Her tongue was clumsy and touched his tongue quickly before pulling away, he stopped her, intertwining their tongues, refusing to let her go for a long time.
His heart was as exhilarated as it was bitter. That was enough, everything was enough. Gu Tou, the other kiss was you repaying all your debts to Yi Xiu Ge. As for this kiss, I will give you everything, I will do everything I can for you……
A group of people arrived, the door suddenly swung open, a few disciples from the Court of Law stepped inside.
Dong Fang Yu Qing let Hua Qian Gu go, his face had a mischievous smile, Hua Qian Gu staggered back two steps.
“Dong Fang?”
“I lied to you, my incantations aren’t easy to undo. Try hard to defend yourself in the main hall!”
“You!” Hua Qian Gu was speechless from anger. How could this situation be a joke?! He even tricked her to kiss him! How maddening!
Hua Qian Gu’s neck and face flushed red, she harshly kicked him, but he quickly avoided her.
“The accused Hua Qian Gu, it’s time to go to the main hall of Chang Liu to be interrogated by the three Heads.” The door opened, Hua Qian Gu began to step out. Xiao Yue grabbed onto her hand and refused to let go, Tang Bao tried to crawl into her ear but was pulled out by Dong Fang Yu Qing.
“Go on, Gu Tou, don’t give up easily, try to fight for yourself. You don’t just have your Teacher. Me, Tang Bao, even Xiao Yue, we’re all waiting for you……”
Hua Qian Gu looked down at Nan Wu Yue, then looked at Dong Fang Yu Qing and Tang Bao, her heart was somber, she turned and walked out.
