The Spirit World

Chapter 123 My Warm Sun

"Third brother, are you ready?" Lao Liu's iron chin was very eye-catching, even outside the altar.

"It's done, it's done...finally done." He happily put the small bottle of black water into the bag.

"Then...what about those people in the altar?" asked Lao Liu. Lao Liu was huge in build and looked a bit bulky holding his trident.

His joyful face fell in an instant.

"After all, they are all poor people. In my opinion, we should just let them go," he said.

"Okay...okay..." Lao Liu walked towards the altar, took the trident and placed it on the ground, shaking the ground.

"Third brother, this is not like you... What? Are you afraid of doing evil after dying once?" The fourth brother lazily lay on the ground, holding the wine jug in his hand and drinking from it. The wine flowed onto his face, like a small groove passing over his nose.

The sixth brother stopped and turned to watch his brothers make a decision.

"Hey...hasn't the mission been accomplished...There's no need, there's really no need." He patted his chest and abdomen where the bags were placed, and after making sure they were intact, he prepared to follow Lao Liu to release the people.

"I think... Third brother, you are just weak... You won't think about being a good person after you are resurrected?" The fourth brother's words were a bit aggressive.

"That's not the case. I just think that we killed so many people in our lifetime. It doesn't matter if we let some of them go now. We have taken away the source of their despair. They will have to live in despair for the rest of their lives. Instead, they will be tortured for the rest of their lives. This is not considered being a good person, right?" He walked and pulled Lao Liu with him. Lao Liu followed him without saying a word.

The fourth brother looked at him, continued drinking, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Third brother...when will the eldest brother and seventh brother come back? And second brother and fifth sister...I miss them so much..." The sixth brother was like a child.

"They will be back after we finish this." He opened the side door of the altar, and the black cat jumped out and jumped onto his shoulder.

[What? Why are you here? ]

The black cat asked, licking his hand.

"The source of despair has been completed. They are no longer of any use." He said slowly.

【What? Do you want to kill them all? Or do you want to let them go?】It stared at him with its eyes.

"Well... we can't dirty the altar, right? These people's lives are cheap, so it's better not to kill them."

[Oh? Yan Lao San wants to be a good person? ]

The black cat jumped to the ground and walked gracefully in the corridor of the exit. There was no bloodstain there, but he knew that there had been bloodstains there.

"What good or bad people... I have been a villain all my life, how can I be a good person? I just think they are not worth killing."

[Hmph... I don't care. I won't stop you no matter what you want. These people can only live in despair for the rest of their lives, which is no different from being dead. Ending their lives will only make them happy and give them a bargain.]

"Yeah...I thought so too."

[Hmph! Don't give me that!]

"No, we are all working for the same master, so we are brothers, don't you think?" He smiled playfully, which annoyed it a lot.

[I am not afraid of ruining my reputation by calling you my brothers. When I am done with my work, we will just be strangers and have nothing to do with each other.] The cat walked in front, with light steps.

"Qizhu, I want to ask you a question. Can you answer me honestly?" His voice suddenly became very low.

【explain! 】

"Is your heart in her hands?"

It suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Its strange eyes emitted a terrifying green light in the dark corridor. He and Lao Liu stopped immediately. The damp wind in the corridor leading to the altar blew on his face.

It turned its head and continued walking.

【What's wrong? 】

The sound has always been a combination of male and female voices, but in this sentence, the female voice is stronger.

"It's okay, just asking." He followed, and Lao Liu also followed.

[When we complete the mission, she will return the heart to me, and then I will be free.]

"Well, I think so. It will be soon."

He said. It was like a casual remark, spoken so quickly that Lao Liu couldn't even hear it clearly, and he was a little doubtful whether the third brother had said this.

[Yuzhao Mountain] Tang Bohan looked at a secret order, the joy on his face was nowhere to be found.

"Master! There is good news!" he shouted: "The missing person is back!"

The golden mountain suddenly lost its golden light, and the golden little flying cranes turned into nothingness and disappeared in an instant.

Everyone became happy.

"Your friend is calling you... You'd better go quickly and don't block my way." Lin'er said. She stood there, still wanting to walk past him.

"That's not my friend, he's just the captain of the Justice Department." He finally looked into her eyes, which were surprisingly bright.

"I only have one friend from the beginning to the end! That is a girl named Chen Lin! Now, she is by my side." He said sincerely. He was not so afraid of hearing his own voice, but he still heard it, thump, thump, one, two, three, very quickly, very quickly.

"I'm not your friend!" Lin'er also looked into his eyes, her chin slightly raised. Those star-like eyes were full of him.

"Lin'er! You are not like this! What's wrong with you? Why are you staying away from me? Did something happen to you? We are obviously the only people who know each other in this strange world, why are you unwilling to tell me the truth? Instead, you insist on solving it by yourself?" Chang Yufeng said, worry overflowing from his eyes, so gentle.

"No, you overestimate yourself. You can obviously be the young master of Bailing Mountain for your whole life. Why do you have to block my way? I don't have many friends in this world, but that doesn't mean you are my only friend. Also, there is nothing to be solved. We just happened to meet here!" She began to worry that she had said too much.

"Are you leaving because my status is alienated? Are you leaving because I don't know how to return to the human world? Is it because of something the butler said to you? Can't you just tell me where I did wrong and I will change? Why do I have to wander around in this strange world alone?" He wanted to say more, but she beat him to it.

"There's no reason for me to leave you. You're nothing to me. I'm fine alone in this strange world! Thank you for your concern. Young Master Ning, can you please not block my way? If you're wrong, don't tell me. I don't need to know where you're wrong!" Lin'er wanted to force her way in, but he was taller than her, so forcing her way in was impossible.

"Why do you always emphasize the identity of the young master of the Ning family? It would be fine if I didn't have to be one! Let's go back to Wenti County! There I am just a poor boy from another world! We are all from another world, let's find a way back to this world together! Who cares about Bailing Mountain, who cares about Wenti County! Who cares about spiritual power! Let's go find it together! Once we find a way to go home, we'll go back!" He couldn't hear any reason from Lin'er why she wanted to leave.

"..."

Fool! Why don't you understand? The devil is always chasing after the sins of every life. He will only let you go if I leave!
"Lin'er! Let's do this! Let's do this! Let's go together to find a way to return to the present world! I have never been the young master of Bailing Mountain. I will tell them that they have found the wrong person! Let's leave this place now!" Seeing that she didn't speak, he might have guessed what she was thinking.

If she wants to return to the real world, then I will accompany you to find her! I have no parents! It is the same in this different world! My parents have long disappeared!

"You're the only person I've known the longest! Then let's go back together! To that orphanage! Grow up there!" He said, his eyes looking into her star-like eyes.

"But don't think about it anymore! Go look for it by yourself! I am obviously here! The person from the same world as you is right here! What can't you tell me?!" Chang Yufeng didn't want to go around the issue again. He kept guessing her reasons.

"..."

Her eyes moved slightly and glanced at his.

How should she answer?
The memories of him she met in the dream world all came to her mind at once. She could only think of leaving him and staying away from his tragic fate.

It's not just selfish for myself, but also for his own good.

The devil must be watching this too. What is he thinking now? Will he have mercy on him who is so gentle in this life? Will he let him go who is so kind in this life? Will he feel panic because he is already independent of himself in this life?
A wave of warmth came over her, a heat wave that enveloped everything about her. She was caught off guard and a little surprised that he hugged her.

This was the first time she was hugged by him like this, using great strength and tension to prevent her from feeling suffocated. She could smell the unique plum blossom scent on him, and her whole body trembled a little because of this sudden hug. It was not until the heat wave swept through her body that she realized how helpless she was.

"Lin'er, I know that what I did in the past was not right. However, every change I made in the past ten years made me realize that my previous sins, that feeling has been haunting me all the time." His hot breath pressed against her ears, it was itchy and ticklish, making people feel itchy.

"I know that everything is because of my bad character and stupidity, but I am no longer like that. In this different world, I met you and I was thinking about how to communicate with you who I hurt. You said that I have changed, and I am really happy. However, I don't want to change. I hope I will always be like this, and not the person I was before. I hope I have never hurt you!"

The sword fell to the ground, and her hands seemed to go limp and she could no longer hold the sword.

"We came to this different world. I thought maybe God sent you to me just to atone for my sins. We met again and got along again. I thought about how to be good friends with you, both in Wenti County and in Bailing Mountain. I thought about us being together in this different world. You are my knot in my heart."

He continued.

"The night you were leaving Bailing Mountain, I saw you sitting on the steps in agony. How painful was my heart? I didn't know why you wanted to leave. I guessed, but there was no answer. I was afraid of our alienation, as if I could never atone for my sins. And now I finally understand."

He loosened the hug and placed his hands lightly on her shoulders.

"I like you. I have always liked you, Lin'er! This person who once hurt you, this person who wanted to atone for his sins, has always liked you and has always liked you in his heart."

Her eyes moved slightly, and the lively light flowed among the stars like water.

For a second, the whole world was quiet.

The gurgling stream became silent, the bubbles spit out by the fish slowly stopped in the water, the wings of the birds in the sky became slow, and the rays of sunlight shining on their faces bloomed into golden flowers.
