The villain's daily corpse collection

The sky was hazy and the whole city was shrouded in thick fog, with no sign of dawn.

Wang Wei blew away the wood chips on the statue in his hand and smiled calmly: "You still don't know me well enough. I have been wandering outside for so long, and I don't like the down-and-out life at all. The position of Demon God, the head of the Water God, such a high position is where I belong."

Bo Shangmiao looked at her with a worried look on his face: "Xiao Wei..."

"What are you thinking? I'm fine! I told you not to bring up the past, so let's not talk about it anymore. This time, it was just... a mistake on my part."

Wang Wei began to refine the statue. He stroked the face of the statue Huo Feng with his fingers and continued to pick up the carving knife.

"Perhaps every god's fate is determined by heaven from birth. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it... Ha..." She leaned closer to the candlelight and chuckled, "I don't want to live in obscurity. I want to live a life of glory and make all the gods recognize me... I want respect and admiration, and true freedom within the laws of heaven!"

She slowly raised her eyes, her expression unclear: "But I took a wrong step, just one step! This step made me lose everything and come here... but also because of this, I met Huo Feng."

After a pause, Wang Wei continued: "Perhaps this is the fate that God has arranged for me. I..."

The firelight shone on her face, and a faint red flashed across her eyes.

"This is completely different from how you met. I planned all of this, and I have to blame myself for this result."

"It's not your fault." Bo Shangmiao placed the statue into the shrine and was about to proceed to the next ceremony, but was interrupted by Wang Wei.

"I'm wondering if I shouldn't do this? Should I let go? Our meeting was a mistake, is there any reason to persist?"

Her eyes were filled with confusion. The fog outside the window was getting thicker, and she seemed to be lost in it. "My retention seemed like an elaborate scam, because my business is not over yet, and I still need him. But——"

The demon god who had been in a high position for a long time was rarely frank. She tightly grasped Bo Shangmiao's sleeve, looking very helpless.

"But what?" Bo Shangmiao looked at Wang Wei distressedly. The situation of exposing one's heart was the most difficult to face, but she had to say this, otherwise she would never be able to move forward. Being trapped in it would bring about a greater disaster - countless gods had died from inner demons. If she continued like this, she would easily embark on a path of no return.

"But, it seems that I don't want him back just because I need him for this matter. I don't know...what I told you about my encounter with him was all fake...all fake!"

Her voice was nasal, her breathing was deep, her speech was somewhat incoherent, and she didn't seem as light as before.

"What is true? What is false? Who can tell?" Bo Shangmiao stepped forward and patted Wang Wei on the back. "No matter what the situation is, we must explain it to each other face to face."

Bo Shangmiao held her shoulders and pulled her back from the edge of collapse: "Xiaowei, not everyone's first encounter is exceptionally beautiful. Complexity is the norm. If you trace back to the source of your so-called mistakes, how many people in the Heavenly Palace are innocent? Even our ancestors cannot escape your accountability. Now that things have come to this, we can only look forward. We can't change most things, so let's do what we can. Now, you must think clearly about what you want?"

She stared at him blankly, tears silently sliding down from the corners of her eyes and hitting the floor, as if making a loud noise.

The sudden rain outside came very quickly, as if there was no sign of anything, as if everything had been predetermined.

"Okay, I'm much more shameless than you. I want him to forgive me." Wang Wei wiped away her tears and stopped struggling. Instead, she stared at the statue she had carved with her own hands.

The statue looked the same as when she first saw Huo Feng. He was wearing an indigo official uniform and was lifted out of the ice coffin and awakened.

Wang Wei had never expected that the quick glimpse she had at that time would leave such a deep impression on her. She even remembered the shape of his crown, the pearls and jade hanging around his waist, and the embroidery on his hem - now she had copied them one by one.

She remembered everything that happened between her and Huo Feng, but she was always used to ignoring many of her feelings until the moment when it was unavoidable, and then she would face it.

Wang Wei stepped forward and lit three incense sticks.

After three bows, the ceremony began.

She held the incense lightly between her fingers and recited a passage of scripture that Bo Shangmiao had taught her in advance. After she finished reciting, she infused the incense with her divine power.

"Be careful not to put out the fire."

Water and fire are incompatible. If you don't control the strength well, you will have to start over.

Fortunately, Wang Wei almost never makes mistakes in her abilities, and the infusion of divine power was successful. Then she used her telekinesis to summon.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt a stinging pain in her fingers and opened her eyes - the incense in her hand was almost burned out.

"Xiao Wei... I didn't expect you to be so talkative. The remaining incense can't be inserted into the incense burner. Gather the ashes in your hand and put them into the incense burner... It should be the same!"

Bo Shangmiao was a little confused. The requirement was that the incense had to be inserted into the incense burner at the end to complete the whole process. What was going on now?

"How about...say it again? Remember not to let the incense burn out this time!"

Wang Wei did everything she was told without raising any objections. Although she was holding the incense and silently muttering to herself, she looked like a fool that she often mocked.

But, Wang Wei thought, no matter what, she would definitely be the fool today!

Even if she has to be a fool, she will do her best.

So, Bo Shangmiao took countless naps and slept countless hours before Wang Wei's "summoning Huo Feng" ceremony was barely over.

Looking at the incense burner that was stuck like a hedgehog, and then looking at the sky, this was like talking for the whole day!

"Ahem... I'm worried that he ran too far away and it would be difficult for him to hear what I said, so I said more..." Her voice was hoarse, and she quickly picked up the teapot and took a few gulps, "...I hope he can hear me and come back. But, I'd better come back later, I have to pay my debt first."

Pay off the debt? Bo Shangmiao held Wang Wei, who waved his hand: "Jin Si Nan, it's very valuable. Go and do your thing, I'm leaving."

"It's a rainy night. It won't be too late to go after the rain stops and the day breaks!" Bo Shangmiao was really worried. He even suspected that Wang Wei was doing such an extreme act on purpose.

"What I want is a rainy day. The rain will last for three days and three nights. It's a good opportunity to repay your debt. You go find my mother goddess and don't worry about me." Wang Wei broke free from Kaibo Shangmiao's hand and walked into the thick fog and rain alone.

She herself couldn't tell whether she was going to extremes, but what she knew was that this was a good time to enter the sea realm.
