How to capture the system fairies as wives

"Be obedient today and go to bed early."

"...Dad and Mom are waiting for you in their dreams." She said softly.

But those were the last words the little girl heard from her mother.

She listened to her mother and went to bed early. She also had a very sweet dream.

In the dream, the sea became the sky, and the colors of coral and rainbow were scattered all over my body. Whales were swimming through the clouds, and there was the roar of the tide in my ears.

She woke up from her dream. She rubbed her eyes and went to look for her mother.

But she didn't find it.

…All I saw was a blood-red lake.

(I can’t go home.)

(All high-speed trains and buses were stopped. I was busy all day but couldn't find a way to get back.)

(I returned to the hotel exhausted, praying that I could go back as soon as possible tomorrow.)

(Under special circumstances, I can only update once. If I return home safely, I will immediately resume updating twice a day.)

(I wish everyone peace.)

79. Rules

Blood Lake.

corpse.

The brothers and sisters who were laughing and playing with him not long ago, now fell in a pool of blood. The corpses were piled in the middle of the courtyard, forming a creepy hill.

The heads of all the senior brothers were cut off and neatly lined up on the ground, while most of the senior sisters were naked and their bodies were as dry as mummies. It was obvious that they had been used as furnaces and all their vitality had been taken away.

Amidst the pile of corpses, she even saw her only junior sister, Qing'er.

Qing'er was like a tattered rag doll, leaning against the edge of the pile of corpses with her little head drooping, her eyes looking ahead with dull and lifeless eyes.

That childish little face had been clinging to her earlier, calling her shyly and affectionately, "Little Senior Sister, let's play together."

The little girl stared blankly at the scene before her.

For a moment, she couldn't remember whether she hadn't woken up yet.

If there really is such a terrible nightmare, then after waking up, I must cry my heart out in my mother's arms.

So she staggered along the familiar yet unfamiliar corridor.

She saw a group of people wearing the same masks, wandering around coldly.

She saw that the place that she used to use as a playground had now turned into a sea of ​​fire.

She just walked by in a daze, but no one seemed to notice her. Even those scary monks wearing masks just passed by her in a hurry, as if they didn't see her.

She suddenly wondered if she was actually dead.

Now I am just a wandering ghost.

She was very scared and wanted to find her mother.

But she looked in many places and couldn't find it.

She sat on the ground, hugged her knees and started crying.

There were still endless screams and wails all around, mixed with curses and pleas.

It was a scene like hell on earth.

"Dad...Mom...I had a nightmare last night."

"This nightmare is so scary... I can't wake up at night..."

The little girl cried for a long time until she was tired. With tears in her eyes, she noticed that the masked monks around her were gradually gathering, especially many of them coming out of the Scripture Hall on the West Hill.

After gathering together, several old men wearing strange Taoist robes and with old faces began to whisper to each other in the middle of the square.

"did you find it?"

"I've looked everywhere, but nothing."

"That man was quite stubborn. He watched his wife being tortured to death in front of him. Even with his teeth broken and his mouth full of blood, he still refused to confess."

"That's weird... where would that thing be hidden?"

"Is there anyone alive inside the mountain gate?"

"Gone. Not a trace of life left."

"Then search! He definitely won't have time to hide somewhere else. We must find him even if we have to dig this mountain three feet deep!"

The little girl didn't finish listening to what they were saying. She just stood up in a daze and walked towards the Scripture Hall in the distance with tears in her eyes.

She walked to the door of the Scripture Hall, dragging her long nightgown.

…She suddenly felt a little afraid to open the door.

She was afraid that if she opened this door, everything that had happened before would no longer be a nightmare, but a reality.

She will never find her mother and father again and will never have the chance to wake up from the nightmare.

But she finally opened the door.

She saw a man with his upper body naked, kneeling in a pool of blood.

She saw a woman hanging with chains in the middle of the hall, her face as white as snow, without a trace of blood.

"...Dad? Mom?"

The little girl walked up to the man and woman blankly and stretched out her hand to touch them.

But the arm passed through their faces so strangely, as if it had no substance.

She cried again.

She cried very loudly, and when she got tired, she started coughing, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.

I cried until my throat bled and I cried until my throat became completely hoarse.

Those monks had left the mountain gate at some point, leaving only the fire burning everywhere, gradually engulfing all the buildings.

In the firelight, the little girl cried until she lost her voice and slowly lay down beside the man and woman.

Closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Maybe when I wake up, the dream will end.

-

"But I'm not awake."

"When I opened my eyes the second time, all I saw were burnt-out ruins."

"My parents' bodies have been completely burned to ashes, and the bodies of my brothers and sisters have been completely eaten by wild beasts and crows."

"Nothing has changed. That nightmare has become reality."

"I was very hungry and thirsty, so I had to walk barefoot down the mountain by myself. If I hadn't met Master, I might have died along with my family."

By the time she finished speaking, Yu Xiang had already broken down into tears.

"I have been...avoiding recalling what happened that day."

"But every night, those images would haunt my eyes and break into my dreams."

"I was really scared... I thought about dying many times and just being with my parents."

"But their ghosts are at my bedside every night, crying and begging me not to die and to avenge them."

"But living like this... every day is so painful..."

Chen Yin listened to everything in silence.

Yu Xiang, with red and swollen eyes, was still sobbing, and a broad hand was already covering her head.

"...Thank you for your hard work." There was heartache in his tone.

Yu Xiang's nose felt sore again.

"Then, someone from the Demonic Path found me and told me that my physique was perfect for practicing the magic skill 'Quenching the Underworld'."

"They said that as long as I master my magic skills, I will have the power to avenge my parents and my senior brothers and sisters."

“So, that’s why I’m… sorry…”

She couldn't help but lean on Chen Yin's arms, sobbing with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry, brother... I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

"I originally thought that revenge was the only meaning of my remaining life, but until I met my senior brother and master..."

"You are my only family. I am really afraid that you will repeat the nightmare of Changli Palace again because of me..."

Chen Yin rubbed her hair soothingly and whispered softly: "You too..."

"You two are the only family I have left."

Yu Xiang stopped and stared at Chen Yin with tears still on her eyes.

"This world has to follow rules."

Chen Yin said calmly: "Have you ever hurt those masked monks?"

"No……"

"Have they ever hurt your relatives?"

"It hurt me."

"That's what they owe you." He said seriously, "If you kill someone, you must pay your life. If you owe someone a debt, you must pay it back. That's the rule."

"If they don't want to comply, that's fine."

"...Have a good sleep." Chen Yin rubbed Yu Xiang's little head, "I will take you to the main sect tomorrow. You can teach them the rules yourself."

Yu Xiang stared blankly at Chen Yin's profile, her eyes becoming a little dazed.

"I, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep. Once I recall, I'll have another night—"

"It's okay." Chen Yin picked her up.

"I'll sleep with you tonight."

80. Brother, someone is bullying us

That night, Xiang'er really had trouble falling asleep.

I closed my eyes and opened them several times, but couldn't fall asleep.

Every time she opened her eyes, she was filled with fear. It was not until she saw Chen Yin sitting beside the bed that the fear in her eyes faded away a little.

Chen Yin just held her hand quietly and accompanied her silently without saying a word.

Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Yu Xiangdi closed his eyes countless times, trying hard to recall his happy life on Yushan Mountain.

This time, she finally fell into a light sleep.

Chen Yin sat by her bed until midnight before he stuffed her hands back into the quilt and walked out of the room.

At the door, there was a blue figure standing silently with its back to the room.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Chen Yin asked softly.

Shen Shuanglian bit her red lips lightly, her eyes sparkling:

"Is this... the reason why you asked me to stay on Yushan Mountain? You didn't want me to be embarrassed?"

Chen Yin said slowly: "After all, it is the sect where you have lived since childhood."

"I know that no matter what you choose, it will be difficult. So I choose for you, and I will bear the responsibility."

"Just think of yourself as being imprisoned by me and my master on Yushan Mountain, unable to return when the sect is in danger."

Shen Shuanglian was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice: "What...are you going to do? Are you going to destroy the entire sect?"

"of course not."

Chen Yin shook his head and said seriously: "You should have heard it outside. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you owe a debt, you must pay it back. I am here to collect my debt, not to kill innocent people."

"Most of the Wuling Sect's disciples are now completely unaware of the Changli Palace incident, so why would I kill them?"
