Grudge Breaker

Chapter 330: The Dog and the Wind
In a daze, Song Weichen knew that he was rescued.

The man was covered in the light of the bright moon, and his silver hair was like moonlight shining on the water. It penetrated the dark bottom of the Forgotten River and held himself up.

He seemed to have been cured of the black water poison, fed with elixirs, and placed somewhere safe, but why was it so cold here? His chest seemed to freeze with every breath.

She finally opened her eyes with difficulty, but the thick fog was still all around her, covering the sky and the sun, and emitting wisps of black air.

There was a figure sitting in the mist. When he saw her wake up, he came closer and gently brushed her cheek with his slender fingers.

"slight……"

"Oh, you..."

Her voice was so tender and her eyes were filled with love that it almost overflowed, forming a sharp contrast with his cold fingertips.

The word "weiwei" made Song Weichen's throat choke and tears welled up in his eyes. He tried hard to hold back and not cry out loud.

"Be good, don't cry. A bad guy like me is not worth your tears."

The man spoke in a gentle tone, but his calmness seemed to be hiding a deep wound, and he was not wearing a mask on his face.

“Cang Yue!”

Song Weichen couldn't bear it any longer, and he forced himself to get up and fell into Gu Cangyue's arms.

Sure enough, her judgment was correct, he did not lose his memory at all.
.
"I knew it... I knew it..."

"The day Xiao An died, the person I saw near the waterside pleasure boat was you, right?"

"A few days ago at Wuqingju, I dreamed that you came and took away the paper crane. That wasn't a dream, right?"

"And the night of the banquet at the Territory Lord's Mansion, you went there because I was there, right?"

"You remember everything and you haven't forgotten anything. Everything is just a deliberate illusion, right?"

"If I hadn't had an accident today and hadn't fallen into the black water of the Forgotten River, you would have continued to pretend and hide it, right?"

"Why? Why..."

Song Weichen sobbed and murmured while hugging Gu Cangyue's neck. She didn't understand why he couldn't tell her and why they had to torture each other like this. As long as he opened his mouth, she would not hesitate and would face it with him and advance and retreat together.

He is Gu Cangyue.

This big bird had already become an invisible hindrance to her in the world of sleep.

This kind of connection transcends love and is the mutual dependence that can only exist between two lonely lives in the universe.

She traveled through the living world and stayed alone in the sleeping world. She was surrounded by flowers. No matter how much Mo Tingfeng loved her, there was still a loneliness in her heart that could not be filled - in a certain way, she was on one side, and everything else in the world was on the other side.

As an ancient phoenix, he has seen the stars rise and fall, and has seen mountains and seas become seas, shining with the world. But so what? The phoenix has spent its entire life looking for a companion that does not exist, and he has grown up alone.

In a way, they are very similar.

What's more, they have each other's blood flowing in their bodies. A thousand years ago, Sang Pu used his own blood to heal the wounds of the Luan bird that transformed into a crane, and a thousand years later, Gu Cangyue used his own blood to heal Song Weichen - time is truly a perfect closed loop.

So how could she bear to let him pretend to break up with her because of some unavoidable reasons?
How could they possibly break apart?

"slight……"

The fog around was even thicker, with wisps of black air clearly visible.

On the contrary, Gu Cangyue's eyes were extremely clear. He gently stroked Song Weichen's hair.

"I humiliated and hurt you like that in the Territory Lord's Mansion, why do you still trust me?"

"Now the whole world is calling me the Demon Lord, why are you the only one who is not afraid of the Demon Lord?"

……

"I am afraid, of course I am not afraid."

Song Weichen held Gu Cangyue's neck like a child and refused to let go. His tears had clearly flowed down his collar and into his neck, but his voice was full of smiles.

"I'm afraid you, a big bird, will do something stupid. Others have already set up the barbecue grill to roast birds, but you are still rushing to hand people thirteen spices."

"I'm afraid your acting is too bad. It's useless except for deceiving yourself."

"I'm more afraid that you'll hurt yourself."

She wiped her tears and pointed at the thick fog.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the backyard of Cangyue Mansion, right? A nice family with a small bridge and flowing water, but you have turned it into a withered vine, an old tree, and a crow."

"Tell me, what are you doing in this PM2.5 smog every day? Do you think your lungs are too good?"

It had been a long time since he heard Song Weichen say these strange and incomprehensible words in his ear. Gu Cangyue couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a beautiful angle.

He gently held her shoulders and took the "Song's Koala" out of his arms. Gu Cangyue's eyes were filled with deep affection.
"Tell me to take a good look at you."

Song Weichen stopped making noise after hearing this, and quietly looked into his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered a sentence, "Love is the light that keeps reflecting back and forth between two people's eyes."

Gu Cangyue looked at her without blinking, and as he looked, his eyes turned red and tears rose in his eyes.

……

"slight."

"I once firmly believed that we could live together in the mountains together until we were old, but now things have changed."

"I used to hear people say 'like a whirlwind, love deeply like the wind' but I didn't understand it. Now I understand, Weiwei, I suddenly understand the difference between like and love deeply."

"Like is heart-throb, love deeply is heart-ache."

"Like means staying together, love means being apart."

"It is hard to let go of someone you like, but you can let go of someone you love deeply."

"slight……"

“I’m not the same person I used to be.”

"Mo Tingfeng is... a good choice. You should stay away from me."

Light pink tears flowed from Gu Cangyue's eyes. The ancient phoenix bird would only cry blood when it was extremely sad. This was the second time he shed tears of blood in his long and lonely life - the last time was also because of Song Weichen.

"Fool!"

Seeing him crying, Song Weichen cried again. Her heart ached so much that she reached out her trembling hand and gently wiped his eyes again and again.

"Whether Bingtuozi is good or not, I naturally know." "Whether you are good or not, I also know."

"No matter what you become, I will never abandon you."

"Even if you become an Asura, whether it's the hungry ghost realm or Mount Sumeru, I will go there for you."

"I am different now. I have magical instruments and spells. I will work harder to become more powerful."

"Just like you went to the Well of Time to look for me, no matter where you go, I will find you and bring you back."

"If my cultivation is not good enough to go, I will ask Bingtuozi and Brother Yuheng to take me there. We will never abandon you."

……

With every word Song Weichen said, Gu Cangyue's tears became pinker, until they were almost the color of blood.

"Enough! Enough!!"

He suddenly pushed her away. Song Weichen was caught off guard and her back hit the cold, hard ground. A fishy, ​​sweet taste rose up her throat. She was afraid that Gu Cangyue would blame herself, so she quickly covered her mouth with her sleeve and held the taste back.

How could he know that when she entered the ghost market for the second time, she was stabbed by Ruan Mianmian and died there. She was miraculously brought back to life by the power of puppet control, and now she is barely staying alive by relying on the Yellow Spring Sun Grass.

Her condition was worse than he had imagined.

His push almost made her dizzy and faint. Song Weichen dug his nails into his palms hard, using the pain to keep himself awake.

However, Gu Cangyue did not notice it - strands of purple lines similar to spider webs began to appear in his eyes, and as those lines increased, his expression changed.

Lonely, cold, cruel, and sinister...the "Gu Cangyue" at the night banquet in the territory lord's mansion seemed to be waking up little by little.

"Gu Cangyue" slowly walked to Song Weichen who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, and squatted down, with an inexplicable mocking tone.
"Do you remember what you said when I first brought you to this yard?"

……

"You said that you are a mortal with a life span of only a few decades. You will get old or die at any time. You can't bear to leave me alone in this world, so you asked me to find someone who is of equal status."

"You said that if two people who have no emotional foundation insist on getting married and living together, they will eventually get tired of each other."

"Ah."

"you're right."

"We are worlds apart. So, put away your ant-like worries and efforts. I don't need them, and I don't appreciate them."

……

"Cang Yue?..."

Song Weichen was shocked by his sudden change and didn't know how to react for a moment. He subconsciously reached out to pull him, but was avoided by him in disgust.

"I think it's dirty."

The purple lines in Gu Cangyue's eyes became even more intense - as if there really was a spider weaving a web inside, and the purple-black iris lines in his pupils kept changing because of it.

Song Weichen saw it clearly this time. It was indeed not an illusion. His pupils looked exactly like that that night in the Lord's Mansion!
And every time he dozed off and opened his eyes, the cataract would become clearer, and his character would become more brutal - his temperamental changes must be related to this "eye spider web".

No!

We must never let the big bird "disappear"!
Song Weichen didn't know where he got the strength from, but he propped himself up and pounced on the squatting Gu Cangyue. The latter lost his balance and staggered, and was actually knocked to the ground by her.

She rode on him and grabbed Gu Cangyue's neck fiercely.

"I don't care who you are or what you are, get away from Cangyue!"

She thought he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"Pfft hahaha!"

Gu Cangyue laughed out loud, but the force she exerted on his neck was as weak as an ant.

"Song Weichen, you are so childish and ridiculous."

Gu Cangyue stretched out his big hand and slowly pinched the two slender wrists that were crossed and pinched around his neck - the force tightened little by little, and Song Weichen's face became visibly paler because of the pain, but she didn't say a word.

"If you know what's best for you, beg for mercy and get out of here. Don't let me see you again."

"Ah……"

Song Weichen laughed softly.
"What if I don't want to?"

"Are you going to kill me?"

"Then you can start now."

……

"you!"

"Song Weichen! I told you to get out!!"

As expected, the force that pinched her wrist increased a bit. Song Weichen was shaking with pain, but there was a smile on her face. She clearly saw the purple lines in Gu Cangyue's eyes fade.

"I don't."

"Gu Cangyue, listen carefully."

She leaned down to his ear.

"Or kill me."

"Or, overcome everything and become the Gu Cangyue I know."

……

Because he was close, Song Weichen was finally able to see clearly what those purple lines in his pupils were. There was indeed a spider-like thing weaving a web there - but it was not a real spider, but a bud that looked like a spider.

What is woven is not a web, but a series of constantly changing pictures.

And those pictures, it seems that every frame, is related to her.

She moved closer to take a closer look, almost touching his face.

The familiar fragrance came to his face, and Gu Cangyue could no longer control himself. He stretched out his other big hand to hold the back of her head to prevent her from escaping, and raised his chin to cover her lips.
