Chu Yi God slowly approached the grumpy Keeper: âWhat did you promise me first? You clearly said you will only imprison her if I help secure the safety of the Celestial Realm! I believed you and moved against my one and only love! But you went after her life!â
Does these people really not understand why I resent them?
How ridiculous!
They actually think I will still help them deal with Yanâer!
Showing an ironic smile aimed at no one but himself, Chu Yi God shakes his own head to remove some of the bitterness in his heart.
I got the world in my mind, thatâs true, but I would never want her to die for that. Even if itâs a life of imprisonment or a loss of memory, itâs still better than what happened back then.
Keeper Ling couldnât utter a word under that blaming gaze. Itâs true, they did lie to their liege, just that they never thought his feelings for her would go that deep so they never thought anything of it.
âCelestial Lord, I...â Fumbling for a word, the old grumpy elder instinctively takes a step back at that forceful stare, âI had no other choice back then. Bai Yanâs existence.... her existence will endanger the entire Celestial realm. Only when sheâs dead will I be at ease.â
Openly sneering at the shamelessness of this old man, Chu Yi God loses usual cool air and becomes more humanistic: âItâs pointless to keep talking. I will not help you hurt her, and if you push me, I might do something you will regret!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shock and fear gripped Keeper Ling like a haunted ghost would when strangling its victim. He couldnât accept this. Itâs one thing to be unable to get the Celestial Lordâs help, but to be threatened with retaliation if they moved against Bai Yan was unimaginable!
After a long while of this awkward silence, the old timer knew he was finished here. Turning around, he ran for the bottom of this mountain without looking back like someone that was fleeing.
Unbeknownst to the grumpy Keeper though, Chu Yi God wasnât entirely unaffected by what he himself said there. In fact, the Celestial Lordâs expression would grow heavier at each step until a bitter and helpless smile took hold.
I wonât make the same mistake again, I wonât! It was that one wrong step that ruined my happiness! I canât let it happen again, not like that!
âHaha, I will forsake the world if I must if it means you can gain happiness Yanâer! I will never make that stupid blunder, not unless my soul be thrusts into the depths of hell and burned for all eternity!â Slowly but surely, Chu Yi Godâs small murmuring laugh evolves into a hysterical fit that made him lose all of the surreal air that should be unique to this man. âBut I wonât give up on you, not this time. Whatever happiness Di Cang can give you, I can too! Iâm going to pursue you again, and I wonât fail you, not ever again!â
In the end, the Celestial Lord still believes he has a chance to win over Bai Yanâs heart. In light of all heâs done, in light of him indirectly murdering Bai Yan, in light of him causing her childâs death, he still believes he has a chance! If this wasnât selfish greed then what was?
