When had Ye JianHan taken away the spirit guide grass?
The surprise in Chu MuYun’s eyes could not be concealed but he soon calmed down.
Now that it had come to this, what else couldn’t be figured out.
After the praying mantis catches the cicada, he did not expect the oriole was waiting and calculating him at the same time.
It seemed that Ye JianHan had already realized that he would not actually lose his memory after death. And more than just that, he might know much more than Chu MuYun ever imagined.
When a person encounters a huge shock, it is easy to get confused and expose even more flaws. Eventually, they would be controlled by others and completely lose control of the situation, and transform into meat waiting to be slaughtered.
But Chu MuYun stabilized himself.
The two people looked at each other and Chu MuYun wore an expression that Ye JianHan had never seen before.
There was no respect and obedience between those handsome eyebrows, and the slightly raised arc was not ostentatious but instead there was an amazing charm that was almost unspeakable. He was calm and unruffled, and what was projected from those dark eyes was absolute rationality.
This was a man with an extremely logical mind.
Ye JianHan’s thin lips raised slightly, very satisfied with what he saw.
Sure enough, he was a seductive guy. After revealing his true face, he saw him clearly and saw the splendid brilliance hidden in the introverted temperament: it spoke of his wisdom and showed his background. Put together, the entire ensemble was a beautiful and amazing masterpiece.
Ye JianHan smiled: “What if I really died for you?”
His words seemed very illogical, but Chu MuYun heard it clearly.
After a month, the man still had a hang-up over what happened that day.
Now that his disguise has been pierced, Chu MuYun didn’t bother to pretend any further: “It was all just a test.” The implication was: You wouldn’t die for me at all.
Ye JianHan said, “I really took the blood of my heart.”
Chu MuYun nodded and responded, “You also swallowed my pain.”
“I did all this, and your heart didn’t move at all?”
Chu MuYun raised his eyebrows suddenly and smiled at him: “It did, didn’t you catch me showing it just now?”
The corners of his raised eyes were slightly curved. The smile was extremely light but had a sultry quality as though it was a soft feather sweeping carelessly against Ye JianHan’s skin, making him tremble.
Ye JianHan was obviously stunned but soon he smiled and said, “No, it didn’t move… After all, you love that person deeply.”
Chu MuYun’s eyes flickered slightly. He had an estimate in his heart but he still needed to test it out: “I’m sorry to have deceived you but I do need that spirit grass.”
Ye JianHan said, “You want to use it to save Ling SuYun.”
Chu MuYun: “Yes.”
Ye JianHan glanced at Ling Xuan suddenly and said something meaningful: “Your affections really run deep.”
The last few words made Ling Xuan’s body tense inexplicably.
Chu MuYun’s thoughts flickered around and he decided he could only just go ahead with the plan.
His eyes drooped slightly. He followed Ye JianHan’s words and said, “Please give me the spirit guide grass. As long as I can save Ling SuYun, I am willing to pay any price.”
The corners of Ye JianHan’s upward mouth were stained with malice: “Any price?”
“I want you to be…” Ye JianHan glanced at Ling Xuan from the corner of his eyes, and his low voice was inexplicably stained with eroticism, “My sex slave.”
As soon as his voice fell, a red light suddenly rose. Ling Xuan attacked without any preamble and the scarlet sword stabbed towards Ye JianHan’s heart…
In such a dangerous situation, at the point of life and death, Ye JianHan didn’t move.
Between the spark and the flint, Chu MuYun suddenly made a move. He held the scarlet blade with one hand and blocked Ling Xuan’s furious fatal blow.
Because both of them were extremely powerful, they collided suddenly and the shocking fluctuations also shook the sky with bright light.
Ling Xuan didn’t want to hurt Chu MuYun so he stopped at the last moment and then hurriedly withdrew. The blow hit the wall instead before bursting.
It stands to reason that such an impact is not enough to hurt him but there was still a backlash. Ling Xuan’s throat became wet and the corners of his mouth overflowed with scarlet blood.
Chu MuYun only took one look before quickly retracting his gaze.
His movements were extremely subtle but Ye JianHan was aware of it and even caught the distress that flashed through his eyes.
Ye JianHan chuckled slightly: “Your little lover seems to disagree.”
Chu MuYun said solemnly, “It has nothing to do with him.”
Ling Xuan stared at him and almost burst into flames: “Ling Mu, do you know what you are doing?!”
Chu MuYun looked at him and his eyes were cold and indifferent: “What I do has nothing to do with you.”
Ling Xuan angrily said, “How on earth is Ling SuYun worthy of you paying so much for him? He wants to kill you, he hates you! You turned into bones for him but he raised a bunch of lovers, he doesn’t miss you at all. No matter how much affection you give him, he won’t care! What is the point of you doing so much?”
Chu MuYun turned his back to Ling Xuan and faced Ye JianHan.
So Ling Xuan couldn’t see the emptiness in his eyes but Ye JianHan could see clearly.
This powerful and forbearing man’s thin lips trembled slightly at this time, obviously suffering from great pain, but he refused to expose himself in the slightest. For the freedom of that little lover, he willingly carried everything on his back.
Regardless of whether he was insulted or misunderstood, nothing was more important than the word: “love”.
Chu MuYun took a deep breath and said in an extremely indifferent voice: “I will fulfill this promise as long as Ling SuYun can live.”
Ye JianHan stared at him: “Just for Ling SuYun?”
Chu MuYun clenched his fists: “As long as he can live.”
Ye JianHan sighed lightly: “But I don’t want to give Ling Xuan his freedom.”
When this sentence emerged, Chu MuYun suddenly raised his head to look at him. His eyes that seemed to be eternally calm and unruffled finally cracked.
But he was still held on to the last shred of hope: “What does this have to do with Ling Xuan?”
Ye JianHan squeezed the fragile spirit guide grass and shook it slowly: “The spirit guide grass is a must for activating the puppet. Once it is activated, Ling SuYun will come back to life. But…” He turned his eyes to Ling Xuan and he asked very gently, “Do you know what a person is like after using the puppet technique?”
When he heard Ye JianHan’s last sentence, Ling Xuan froze.
Ye JianHan continued: “The puppet is ignorant and unconscious. The only thing that resembles a person is that he can breathe and move.”
Chu MuYun interrupted him: “Enough! I only want him to live!”
“Yes, you only need him to live…” Ye JianHan said with a smile, “As a corresponding body, it is enough. As long as he is alive, the technique of substitution can be used, isn’t that right?”
Chu MuYun suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
Ye JianHan turned his head to look at Ling Xuan. He said slowly, carefully sounding out each word: “Boy, do you remember where you came from? Do you still remember how your Ah-Mu rescued you?”
