I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

Wen Buyu shook his head: "I have never seen Junior Brother Xie."

Sang Nian thought of something and took out a paper crane from her storage bag.

The paper crane lit up, flapped its wings and flew in a certain direction.

"You guys go and repair the flying boat first," she said, flying on her sword to catch up with the paper crane. "I'll go find Xie Chenzhou and be back soon."

Wen Buyu watched her leave, then turned and walked to the door.

Chu Yao supported her chin with both hands, sitting on the steps at the door in a daze.

Hearing Wen Buyu's footsteps, she turned around and saw that he was alone, so she asked:

"Where are Sang Nian and the pretty boy?"

"Junior Brother Xie left suddenly, and Junior Sister Sang went to look for him." Wen Buyu said, "She asked us to repair the flying boat first."

Chu Yao said "Oh", stood up, and patted the dust off her clothes:

"Let's go then."

Su Xueyin followed behind her holding their swords, not daring to breathe, and tried desperately to wink at Wen Buyu.

Chu Yao took two steps calmly, then suddenly turned around and kicked over the stone lion standing at the entrance of Yaowang Valley.

"It's all my dad's fault!" She gritted her teeth, "It's all his fault!"

Seeing this, Wen Buyu and Su Xueyin relaxed instead.

Wen Buyu rubbed her head:

"As long as you can figure it out."

Chu Yao kicked over the other stone lion and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Great, let's go and repair the flying boat!"

Su Xueyin: "Okay!"

The night is dark.

In the dense forest a hundred miles away from Yaowang Valley.

"Wow—"

Someone bumped heavily into the tree trunk, and the branches and leaves of the treetops collided with each other, making rustling sounds.

The man slid down softly, propped himself up, and vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

He looked up at the boy in front of him and smiled:

"Bu Si, you have improved a lot. You have finally learned how to kill people."

Xie Chenzhou lowered his eyes and said indifferently:

"I didn't expect you to live till now."

"Yeah, I should have been killed by you a long time ago."

The man sighed:

"Thanks to the blood you shed back then, I was able to save my life and live until now. I should thank you."

A strong sense of violence surged in the corners of Xie Chenzhou's eyes and brows, and he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him.

The man rolled over to avoid the sword, his body twitched twice, still smiling:

"Bu Si, where did you go after escaping from Medicine King Valley? Did you ever think of me again?"

Xie Chenzhou's chest rose and fell violently, and the corners of his mouth curled up:

"Of course, I think about you every day and night, and regret every day and night that I didn't torture you to death at that time--"

"Now, I finally have this opportunity."

The man was puzzled:

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because of me, your flesh and blood have saved countless people." He said, "They regard you as a god, love you, respect you, and worship you."

"Enough!" Xie Chenzhou growled.

He clenched his hands tightly, and the edge of his left nail pierced into his palm, leaving a bloody mess.

But his right hand was blocked by something, and he was safe and sound.

He looked down with his neck stiff.

The palm of his hand was tightly wrapped with a bandage and a beautiful knot was tied at the end.

——That was the wound that Sang Nian had bandaged for him before.

Xie Chenzhou's out-of-control emotions slowly calmed down.

On the ground, the man's eyes also fell on his palm, and then he studied his expression and chuckled:

"We have someone we love even if we don't die."

Xie Chenzhou's expression changed, and he grabbed his collar fiercely, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth:

"What do you want to do?"

"What a kind girl! She bandaged your wound even though she knew you could heal yourself."

He changed the subject:

"——Or maybe, she doesn't know about this yet?"

Xie Chenzhou's face was as gloomy as water and he said nothing.

"Do you dare to let her know?"

The man looked at her with pity, and his voice gradually rose:

"I know that you are an invulnerable monster, I know that the immortality that others dream of is within your reach, I know that you were once locked in a cage like a dog, and chopped into pieces again and again..."

"Do you think she will be afraid of you, hate you, or try to take away your immortality?"

Xie Chenzhou's hands hanging by his side trembled slightly.

The man sighed:

"Bu Si, admit it. If I hadn't protected you during those seven years, you would have been eaten alive by the people in the cultivation world."

"After all, no one in the world can withstand the temptation of immortality, including her."

"Between you and Changsheng, what choice will she make? You know it better than anyone else."

Xie Chenzhou's face turned pale.

The man sat up, holding his wound, and stretched out his hand to him with a compassionate look:

"I am the only one who will not die..."

"His name is Xie Chenzhou."

Suddenly, the night wind brought the clear voice of a young girl, neither too loud nor too soft, with a firm tone.

Xie Chenzhou suddenly raised his head.

The branches and leaves swayed, and the girl in white was like a butterfly, stepping lightly on the moonlight and falling down.

She walked towards the two of them step by step, speaking word by word:

"Xie Chenzhou is Xie Chenzhou, with a name and surname. He is never the immortal you claim."

"It wasn't before, it's not now, and it won't be in the future."

"Besides, who says that if he doesn't get hurt or die, he's a monster? In my opinion, it's clearly the gods' preference for him, and they can't bear to see him get hurt."

"He's not a monster."

Xie Chenzhou was stunned.

Sang Nian walked up to him, took his clenched left hand, and pried open his fingers one by one. When she saw the wounds, she was furious.

She glared at him, feeling very disappointed with him:

"Are you stupid? You believe everything others say and make yourself look like this."

The master of Yaowang Valley also smiled:

"Girl, don't you have feelings for Changsheng?"

"Immortality?"

Sang Nian raised his eyebrows and said lightly:

"That's nothing. I don't care about it."

The head of Yaowang Valley shook his head:

"You spoke too early. One day you will know the benefits of immortality."

Sang Nian ignored him and treated Xie Chenzhou's wound carefully.

When the matter was done, she held his arm and looked into his eyes seriously:

"I just want to ask you one question, do you believe him or me?"

Xie Chenzhou said after a long while: "I believe... you."

"Okay," Sang Nian said, "then listen carefully."

"First, I'm not afraid of you."

"Second, I won't get tired of you."

"Third, I don't care about immortality. What I care about is you, Xie Chenzhou."

She asked, “Do you understand?”

Xie Chenzhou's eyes were dazed:

"I understand...I understand."

Sang Nian's fierce order:

"Retell it again."

Xie Chenzhou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he spoke in a low voice:

"You're not afraid of me."

"You won't get tired of me."

"You...care about me."

Under the moonlight that looked like lingering snow, the girl's eyebrows were curved, and she held his face with her warm hands, saying in a light tone:

"Yes, that's it. Remember, you can only believe what Sang Nian says. Don't listen to or believe anything else."

Xie Chenzhou said in a hoarse voice: "...Okay."

After a pause, he said again:

"I will grind this man to dust."

Sang Nian: "Well, let him be reduced to ashes."

Xie Chenzhou: "I want him to bleed to death."

Sang Nian: "Okay, then let him bleed to death."

Xie Chenzhou: "I..."

Having said this, he paused for a long time, his eyes without any focus, only a deep confusion.

Finally, he said:

"I hurt so much."
