After deceiving the villain, I was forced to love him.

Chapter 224 Killed 1 Chen

Chapter 224 Killing Yichen

Wang Qingyan, still furious, went to find Yichen.

He originally intended to wait until Yichen revealed the method to completely keep Baili Ce before pressing him about whether the "female prisoner" was still there.

But when he discovered that Baili Ce's sense of smell had disappeared, he couldn't help himself.

The reason was that a mouse had crawled into the vase in the study and died inside, starting to stink. She practiced calligraphy there for a long time but didn't smell it.

But Wang Qingyan did not expect that the moment he saw Yichen, he would be pulled into a different space.

"You're asking for death!" A figure flashed by, and Yichen was immediately grabbed by the neck.

His face was turning purple from holding his breath, but a smile played on his lips.

With a snap, knowing he wouldn't say anything more, Wang Qingyan simply broke his neck.

Surprisingly, Yichen did not struggle at all throughout the entire process.

He just...died like that?

Before he could think it through, the space shattered, and Wang Qingyan was immediately outside the door.

In a daze, he was still standing at the door, but he didn't push it open.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Qingyan pushed the door open, and the moment he saw Yichen, he was pulled into the space again.

"Bang!" With one palm strike, Yichen died once again.

Time rewinds once again.

"Whoosh—" This time, Wang Qingyan did not hesitate at all, and flew into the house. He was so fast that he smashed Yichen's head before he could even see him clearly.

Then he went back outside...

"It's getting dark, time to sleep..."

"It's getting dark, time to sleep..."

"It's getting dark, time to sleep..."

On the other side, everyone fell asleep as soon as they heard the same sound.

Before long, the entire manor became as quiet as a graveyard.

Bai Li Ce sensed something. As soon as she came out of the room, she "saw" a ball of white light floating in the air, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. It flew forward for a distance and then stopped, as if it was calling her to follow.

"..." Bai Li Ce stood still.

After a while, she turned around and went back.

In his haste, Bai Guang circled around to the front and bumped into her repeatedly.

If it could speak now, it would probably be swearing venomously.

With a flick of his wrist, Baili Ce easily tossed it aside.

The white light crashed to the ground, then, enraged, leaped up and attacked her...

One, two... dozens of times.

It wasn't a big blow, but even a few hits made Baili Ce feel a little pain, but she didn't swing it away again.

"honestly."

"I'm so tired, so very tired..."

The white light suddenly stopped.

From the day Yichen appeared, she had already sensed the existence of the Ancestral Gu.

"We really can't win."

"I dare not fight with him anymore."

Yes, she was scared.

It's not the simple fear that normal people have of the unknown, but a deep-seated dread from the depths of one's soul.

Despite her calm demeanor, she has actually lost the courage to resist.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of being bound to him even in death again.

"You don't need to stay with me anymore."

Thanks to that kill, the Ancestral Gu has survived against all odds, broken free from the shackles of the Great Dao, and no longer needs a host to interfere with people and things in the outside world as before.

Therefore, no one in this world needs her anymore.

"I've gotten used to it these days."

"I remember the routes I often take very well."

"As for me..." Baili Ce paused, then calmly analyzed, "I will endure for a while longer. I think now is not the best time to achieve Dao. Besides, if I die now, he will become suspicious."

Ignoring the swaying white light, Baili Ce groped his way back to his room, and as if nothing had happened, he closed the door and slowly lay down.

Quietly sensing when the ancestral Gu outside the house would leave.

Maybe half an hour, maybe half a day, maybe...

Perhaps they've already left.

There is too much darkness and injustice in this world. Zu Gu could have used this time to do something else. There is really no need to waste energy protecting her anymore.

If it affects the later stages of achieving Dao integration, it would truly be a case of losing more than one gains.

Then......

I wrapped myself tightly in the blanket to stop myself from shaking so badly.

Bai Li Ce didn't dare to say it just now, but there was another reason why she wanted the Ancestral Gu to leave.

Without Him, she could die even faster.

Is it bad?

Long-cherished dream.

There's nothing wrong with being a coward.

People feel sad and afraid precisely because they have a very strong sense of perception. If they couldn't feel anything, they wouldn't be afraid.

......

"Bang!" Yichen's space shattered and reopened once again.

However, Wang Qingyan was neither disturbed by the recurring illusions nor flew into a rage.

On the contrary, from the moment he decided to come find Yichen, he knew that killing this stinky Taoist priest would not be an easy task.

Therefore, Wang Qingyan's mindset remained very stable. No matter how many times he repeated it, his choice was always to kill with one move.

About half an hour later, the circulation began to slow down.

After a few more attempts at looping, Yichen's cough, which he couldn't hide, finally broke the silence, "Cough cough..."

At the same time, on the ground directly opposite the door, eight incense sticks in different directions broke one after another.

"Bang!" When Wang Qingyan kicked the door open for the last time, the incense burner in the room, along with the people setting up the formation, were blown apart by the invisible force.

Amidst the mess, the clattering footsteps stopped in front of Yichen.

"..." Yichen, whose injuries were exacerbated by the shards of the incense burner, vomited blood, yet still struggled to try and set up a formation.

Wang Qingyan crouched down to listen and heard him muttering incantations like "Startling Opens, Scenery Dies" and "Eight Gates Transformation"...

"Heh..." Wang Qingyan was truly at his wit's end.

However, he only broke Yichen's hands and feet, fed him a pill, and then reversed the order in which the incense sticks were placed and lit them again.

There's some history between us, so we have to show some mercy, right?

"No, no..." But looking at the rising wisps of smoke, Yichen truly broke down.

The level of terror was so extreme that it was utterly horrifying.

He hadn't uttered a sound even after Wang Qingyan broke his arms and legs, but now he began to tremble, wail, and beg for mercy amidst the pervasive fragrance...

But the memory of his fellow disciple dying tragically when he was thirteen, and how he escaped alone, still comes flooding back like a tidal wave.

From personally experiencing the pain of each of them, to the fear of being killed by Wang Qingyan, to finally becoming a killer with his hands stained with their blood, Yichen ultimately died in extreme terror.

After dealing with Yichen, Wang Qingyan went to the pavilion at the highest point of the manor to "enjoy the view".

The manor is built on an island, surrounded by the sea, and the only way to leave is by boat.

The Gu King's malevolent aura had been concealed by the sea of ​​flowers. Now that the sea of ​​flowers is destroyed, the malevolent aura has nowhere to hide. If Baili Ce puts in a little effort, he can naturally find it.

But he did not choose to intercept people at the ferry, nor did he go deeper into the sea of ​​flowers.

Because no matter how Baili Ce managed to get on the boat, he found that without him, he couldn't leave "Peach Blossom Spring".

Whether she went to places she shouldn't have while he was away, he only cared about one outcome.

Is she inside?

Therefore, Wang Qingyan was not in a hurry to appear at all. In fact, because the process of verifying the results was too boring, he found a lot of dried fruit to peel.

It wasn't until past midnight, and the lights in the house were still off, and there was no other unusual activity in the entire manor, that he quietly entered the house.

After November, it got much colder in the manor. Baili Ce was weak and felt a chill down his spine at the slightest breeze.

So when Wang Qingyan hugged her, she was genuinely startled and jumped up, "Bang!"

"..." The moment she was hit and saw stars, she already knew who it was.

The feeling was no different from a snake suddenly crawling out and climbing on him; Bai Lize felt goosebumps all over his body for a long time.

"You're getting more and more timid; this can scare you."

With a light and cheerful voice, he pulled her into his arms, and even though he could tell she didn't like it, Wang Qingyan didn't let go. "You did very well this time."

Bai Lize certainly knew what he meant, but right now she only had one thought in her mind—

I will never sleep before he comes back again.

"You said, 'Once or twice, but not a third or fourth time,' so naturally I..."

Wang Qingyan immediately kissed her to shut up, saying, "You have to say no."

The word "dare not" sounded as if he was forcing her.

"No" sounds much better.

"..." In the darkness, Baili Ce seemed to see the monster opening its bloody maw and smiling at her.

Touching her waist, Wang Qingyan's tone was gentle yet slightly aggrieved, "Just say it once, okay?"

"I will not leave you."

But when Baili Ce actually told him, he wasn't particularly happy. He just hugged her tightly, fading away all the tenderness he had shown earlier.

“Ah Zhu, you should know that I can tolerate anything you do.”

"Only death is unacceptable."

"So you'd better try to survive."

"otherwise......"

He nuzzled against Baili Ce's neck. He was a little sleepy after a long day, but he just didn't want to sleep. "I have a hundred ways to make you live my way."

"Do you think I chose to live like this?"

Isn't she already living according to his wishes?

"Is not it?"

Bai Li Ce, “…”

Wang Qingyan sat up and sneered, "We've been married for less than two years, and you're already so self-pitying. How are you going to live the rest of your life?"

She died; she didn't want the rest of her life at all.

"Are you angry?" His voice was full of playful laughter, as if Baili Ce was just being a little temperamental and didn't really mean anything by it.

"Life is too long, I only live in the present"—these topics were utterly boring and tedious to her as she closed her eyes to sleep.

Wang Qingyan initially thought Baili Ce was pretending to be asleep because he didn't want to talk to him, but he never expected—

The even, warm breaths gently caressed his face, making him realize that Baili Ce was truly gifted at sleeping and unaffected by anything.

In this case......

He lay down next to her, hoping that they would both have a good dream.
