As he spoke, the night spring began to fade away, and soon the whole person looked brand new. When Zhiyao noticed this, the dark witch in his arms had returned to her beautiful and charming appearance in life.
"Ever since I lost all my loved ones, I've been convinced I'd live alone and eventually die alone. However, that person's appearance shattered everything. I accidentally bumped into him then and heard his inner voice, but those words were too strong for me, a powerful curse, and my heart wavered. I didn't want to die with him, I wanted to live with him, but that was absolutely impossible. So I wished I could at least hear him say it himself, but even that wish seemed almost impossible to achieve. So I could only hope that one day someone would see it, so that these feelings wouldn't be buried in darkness forever."
"I've been wandering here alone all these years, waiting for someone like that to appear, and finally, you're here."
"You're the only person who's taken the initiative to talk to me in all these years, and you've been here to keep me company every day. Ever since I met you, I'm no longer lonely or empty, and I'm incredibly happy every day. And you, like me, are in a love relationship that I can't get... You're the one most worthy of trust, so I decided to let you come and see me."
"Now, the curse has finally been lifted, and I can finally rest assured and embark on my journey alone without any regrets."
Along with a relieved smile, two lines of tears slid down Fengshi's face. Zhiyao looked stupidly at the person in his arms gradually retreating. For a moment, a strong reluctance suddenly surged in his heart.
"Goodbye, Sikong."
"Finally, it's great to meet you."
In front, Fengshi's figure began to become blurred and was about to disappear. Zhiyao stretched out her hand in that direction, and her legs involuntarily followed suit.
He didn't want Fengshi to leave like this, and another emotion suddenly burst out in his heart.
He seems to have fallen in love with Fengshi.
“Wait, wait a minute——————————”
While striding forward, Zhiyao called out loudly, but Fengshi was still gradually retreating and soon completely merged into the void, leaving Zhiyao's mind blank.
"Do we have to leave in such a hurry?"
Zhiyao muttered to himself with a helpless smile on his face. He stared blankly at the place where Fengshi disappeared, tears welling up in his eyes. Then he gritted his teeth and resolutely decided on one thing.
I want to go to Fengshi.
Dazhu must guard the Gate of the Underworld, so Fengshi will definitely go there. The Gate of the Underworld on Rishang Mountain is somewhere at the bottom of the lake on the other side.
Thinking of this, Zhiyao took a deep breath and began to swim towards the deep water.
Wuming once knocked him out in the Abyss of the Edge and forcibly took him away from his beloved, but this time, nothing could stop him.
……
When he woke up again, Zhiyao found himself back on the shore, with his eyes closed and his body soaked. This situation made his thoughts pause for a few seconds, and then he remembered that he was exhausted and choked on water.
It seems that he is already dead and is now in the form of a spirit.
He was about to go to the bottom of the lake again. After looking around subconsciously, his eyes suddenly lit up and his whole body became full of energy.
The reason is that Fengshi is behind him.
"Fengshi!" Surprised, Zhiyao hurried forward and said, "When did you come back? Looks like I don't need to go to the Yellow Springs Gate to look for you, hehe."
While one side was laughing happily, Feng Shi on the other side had a gloomy look on his face, with sadness written in his eyes.
“Now I’m the same as you.”
His lips twitched for a moment, Feng Shi turned his eyes away with difficulty, bit his lower lip tightly, and after a while, the sound came out from between his teeth.
"why?"
"what why?"
"You obviously..."
"It's because you left without permission." Zhiyao said in a nonchalant tone, then continued complaining, "You were talking to yourself there, completely ignoring my existence, and then you just walked away. Do you even have me in your eyes anymore?"
Feng Shijin lowered his eyes.
"Feel sorry."
Zhiyao smiled. "I didn't ask you to apologize. It was just an accident. Besides, even if you didn't leave, I would..."
At this moment, Feng Shi suddenly interrupted him:
"Sikong, you can now go to Wu Hui with good reason. I will take you to see the High Priestess later. She will definitely find a way to send you there."
"Um, no, I..."
Unexpectedly, Fengshi interrupted again:
"Or you can wait. Everything here will return to normal soon, and you can go to another world."
After being treated like this twice in a row, Zhiyao felt a little dissatisfied:
"Could you please stop interrupting me all the time?"
Feng Shisui stopped talking.
Then Zhiyao cleared her throat and continued, "I definitely won't leave, because you won't leave either. As for why I'm chasing you, don't you have any idea at all?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fengshi's gaze immediately shifted away, and he would steal a glance from time to time. Seeing this, Zhiyao smiled awkwardly and decided not to beat around the bush anymore.
"I like you, Fengshi."
Although he had guessed something, Fengshi was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears. He was subconsciously stunned and at a loss. After a while, he lowered his head deeply and dared not look him in the eye.
"So, what's your answer?"
Feng Shi glanced at him stealthily, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He was silent for a long time before he uttered a tiny, almost inaudible sound.
"Don't do this, Sikong, I'm dead."
"Am I not?" Zhiyao asked back.
"But I think..."
"What do you think?"
"I...can't promise you. You died because of me. I feel so guilty, but you don't care at all and even like me."
Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh, "If that's the reason, then I won't accept it." He paused, then continued, "I can accept you because you don't like me, and I can also accept you because you still think about Aso, but I can't accept anyone else besides these two."
"So I need to know your true thoughts. Do you like me at all?"
Zhiyao held Fengshi's hands as she spoke. Although he seemed relaxed, he was actually extremely nervous.
Fortunately, Dazhu of Rishangshan is an honest woman and will not deliberately make up lies just because the other party cannot see.
"A little bit." Feng Shi nodded his head and answered softly, "But I don't think this is right, because the other witch is also looking forward to you going to her. Although she refused and avoided you, it was because she loved you too much..."
"how about you?"
"Of course I'm going on this journey alone. Now I've completely let go of that relationship. Can't you see I've returned to my old self? All I have to do now is fulfill my duties as the Great Pillar."
"How can you survive sinking to the bottom of the lake alone in that cold and dark place!" As the decibel of her voice suddenly increased, Zhiyao suddenly hugged Fengshi into her arms and held him tightly.
Fengshi struggled to break free from him, so he hugged her again, until Fengshi stopped struggling and resisting after several times.
"I used to want to stay in Yazhiyuan, but now I just want to be with you in Bi'an Lake." Zhiyao whispered softly into Fengshi's ear, "We're all going to die anyway, so I want to be with you, Fengshi. I'm willing to die with you and fall with you."
The sound flowed into her eardrums, and Feng Shijin put her face into Zhiyao's neck, then raised her hands to hug him back. After a moment, when her mood gradually calmed down and she looked into Zhiyao's eyes and was about to say something, the face in her sight suddenly moved closer.
Then, her lips were covered by something cool and soft.
Startled immediately, she hurriedly pushed away the person in front of her, covered her mouth in panic, turned her warm face away, and after a moment glared at him with a resentful look.
"Why are you like this..."
"We're already lovers, so isn't it normal to kiss?" Zhiyao said with a playful smile, looking very proud. "You look so shy, could this be your first kiss?"
"What...what does it have to do with you? Besides, I haven't agreed yet."
"Then agree. You like me a little bit anyway, and you've hugged and kissed me before, so it doesn't matter whether you agree or not."
"You...are shameless..."
She refuted indignantly, but in her heart she was unprecedentedly happy, because the matter was done and she finally didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Bai Ju, who was not far away, looked at the two people who were affectionate with each other, and slowly left with relief.
……
On the way to the house of affinity.
"I still feel a little sorry for Wuhui." Fengshi said.
Zhiyao: "Then I'll go to Yazhiyuan?"
Fengshi immediately grabbed him and said, "No, you can only be with me."
After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the house of bond. Zhiyao proposed to conclude a soul contract, but Fengshi thought that it would lead to the fusion of souls, so he rejected it.
Rather than becoming one with her, she would rather the groom be visible and tangible, and just have a wedding like an ordinary living man and woman.
When he stepped into the ghost marriage room, the lights in the house were brightly on and the priestess was already waiting there. As Fengshi stood at a designated position, at that moment, something changed.
The room remained the same as before, the only difference being that there was a tripod in front with an antique camera on it, and Kunihiko Aso was calibrating it.
In an instant, Fengshi was so surprised that his mouth could not close. At the same time, a dazzling white light appeared accompanied by the sound of a shutter click.
Then Aso came over with the photo and let her look at it. Feng Shi stole a glance at his profile and deliberately touched his hand with her little finger.
【I like you】
What I heard was still the voice of my heart at that time.
Thank you, but I’m sorry, I already have someone I like.
With a sweet smile, she answered silently in her heart.
The next moment, everything returned to normal and Aso disappeared without a trace. She looked to where Aso was just now and found a photo there. She picked it up and saw that it was the funeral photo.
"This is for you." Feng Shi handed the photo to Zhi Yao. "My incense stick is also the medium for the soul-binding ceremony. It's not needed now."
Zhiyao immediately put it away and sat in the groom's seat as Jie Nu instructed. Feng Shi also sat in the bride's seat next to him.
While waiting for the next words, the door of the ghost marriage room was suddenly opened. Outside the door stood an adult woman with short hair and a heroic look, holding an antique camera in her hand.
「Click」
The spreading spiritual power sprayed over, and Zhiyao was in so much pain that she almost died. After he called for a stop and repeatedly stated that he had no ill intentions and could even communicate peacefully, the woman half-believingly put down the camera and then said that she was here to look for the relics of her ancestors.
In response, Zhiyao said that she could do nothing to help, and Fengshizhe asked for the photo.
It was a photo of the two of them, and also their wedding photo. She looked at the two people in the photo, and her heart was filled with happiness.
……
"Are you ready?"
By the lake, Fengshi held Zhiyao's hand.
Zhiyao nodded, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the deep water.
When he was alive, he would have sunk into the water, but now he can walk on the surface of the lake. Zhiyao analyzed that this was Fengshi's special ability.
Not long after, Fengshi stopped and her eyes widened slightly. Suddenly, a huge hole appeared under her feet. The surrounding water began to converge towards this side. Then, as the hole gradually shrank, the two began to slowly sink until the lake surface returned to calm and the kingdom of the dead surrounding the mountain completely disappeared.
It still felt as cold as it did then, the surroundings were still pitch black and dark, and it was still sinking endlessly like it did then.
But this time, Fengshi was neither lonely nor empty, because she had found someone who could accept her. That person held her in his arms, making her feel safe and happy.
(Postscript: A few months later, Shenhong followed Zhiyao's trail to Rishang Mountain and found a photo of the two of them next to Bi'an Lake. Looking at Zhiyao in the photo, she burst into tears.)
Chapter 79: [Iyama Yuki]
When I woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock.
The midday sun in October still made people feel hot. Zhiyao, who was lying on her back, rubbed her eyelids, yawned and sat up.
He slept very soundly this time. It was the first time he slept so comfortably in the past few days.
"Kirigae."
Yawning again, he called out the girl's name.
There was no response in my mind.
"Wuhui, Wuhui!" He shouted anxiously, fearing that something might happen.
Still no response.
