He controlled my body and almost teleported to the door. At this moment, Wu Qingyun was already waiting there with a silver whip in his hand.
"Devil Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, please let go of this stupid woman. I still have to go back and report to the Third Master."
Hearing Wu Qingyun's words, I got really angry. You're the stupid one, and your whole family is stupid!
I could only think about it like this. Suddenly, with a gust of wind at my feet, I was already in front of Wu Qingyun. I lifted my foot and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Wu Qingyun wanted to dodge but failed. He endured the pain and didn't make a sound.
"No one has ever dared to stop the person I want to take away. Are you, a mere Witchcraft God, tired of living?"
"The Third Master gave the order, and I must follow it." Wu Qingyun lifted his whip again and stood opposite me, determined not to leave.
"The Third Master? Are you from Gu Yuan's faction?"
It seems this Devil Lord is really out of touch with the news. He just found out now that we're from Gu Yuan's side.
"That's right. This stupid woman is the Third Master's woman. If you're smart, let her go. If you anger the Third Master, things won't end well."
"Hahaha... If it were someone else, I might consider letting her go. But a woman of Gu Yuan's? She's got only one way out—death."
Oh my god, Wu Qingyun, you've really killed me. It turns out this guy is Gu Yuan's sworn enemy.
I just survived a disaster, but now it seems my life is in danger again.
My heart sank to the bottom, but my body, against my will, was forced by the Devil Lord to fight with Wu Qingyun.
How could Wu Qingyun be a match for this demon? In just a few moves, he was beaten until he spat out fresh blood. His hand holding the silver whip trembled, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.
"What's the use of keeping such a useless person?"
As he said that, he raised his hand to kill Wu Qingyun.
"Benefactor, wait... Don't kill him." I quickly stopped him.
"Don't be in a hurry. After he's dead, it'll be your turn." The Devil Lord said coldly.
"I don't care if I die, but it'll damage your reputation, Devil Lord. You keep saying you won't do a losing deal. But you've saved me twice, and then you're going to kill me with your own hands. Wouldn't your two rescues be in vain? You might as well have just let me die in the river. In the end, you still had to go into the water to save me and got your clothes wet."
I was so humble just to stay alive. But there was no other way. I could only buy some time and then figure out a way.
"What you said does make sense. I'll let you owe me those two lives for now. When I kill you and you turn into a soul, you can still repay me well."
This crafty old guy wasn't fooled by my words.
As he said that, he controlled my hand to make a gentle swipe in the air. Dozens of precious swords flew out of thin air and stabbed at Wu Qingyun.
Just as it seemed that Wu Qingyun was about to die, suddenly there was a burst of sparks and lightning in front of my eyes, and the sounds of clashing weapons filled the air.
The Moon Golden Wheel sliced through the night sky from afar, knocking all of the Devil Lord's swords away, and then quickly retracted.
In the dark night, in the howling cold wind, Gu Yuan appeared in front of me with a strong aura of killing. The Moon Golden Wheel circled around him, making a humming sound and emitting a bloodthirsty cold light, making Gu Yuan look more like a devil lord descending.
The Devil Lord shifted his body to the side. The dozens of long swords flying in the air changed direction and returned to the Devil Lord's side, hiding in the air.
"Old friend, long time no see." The Devil Lord, with my face on, said this to Gu Yuan. It seemed extremely strange.
Gu Yuan's face was gloomy. Cold light flashed in his cold eyes, and the air around him seemed to have gotten much colder.
"Devil Lord, you're overestimating me. We've never met before. Where's the friendship?"
Gu Yuan's words seemed polite, but they were full of disdain.
But the Devil Lord wasn't angry at all. He raised his eyebrows and stared straight into Gu Yuan's eyes.
"Heheh, it seems you've really forgotten all about the past. You're so carefree, leaving me with a mess to clean up."
My body was out of my control, but hope burned in my heart. I knew that with Gu Yuan here, my life would definitely be saved.
"Devil Lord, you're really good. You missed counting on me in all your calculations." Gu Yuan didn't have the time to talk about friendship with him.
"Thank you for the compliment. I was just bored and came to join in the fun. Who would have thought I'd really picked up a bargain. This girl has amazing bones. She's really a good material for alchemy."
"I'm afraid this will disappoint you. She's my person. No one can take her away."
"Precisely because she's your person, I must take her away." The Devil Lord had a contemptuous smile on his face, full of disdain for Gu Yuan.
There was a strange look on Gu Yuan's face. A silver light flashed in his cold eyes.
Suddenly, my body trembled. Gu Yuan actually possessed my body too.
The two of them seemed to be fighting inside my body. My body felt like it was in a world of ice and fire. One moment, it was like I was being roasted in a raging fire, and the next moment, it was like I was falling into an ice cave and shivering with cold.
My whole body felt like an inflated balloon that was about to burst.
I couldn't bear it anymore and let out a loud scream.
Gu Yuan and the Devil Lord separated from my body at the same time.
With the sudden departure of these two powerful beings, my body went limp, and I fell directly into Gu Yuan's arms.
My vision was extremely blurred. I couldn't see what the Devil Lord looked like at all. In the blur, I seemed to see a look of tension on his face.
"She is..."
The Devil Lord had just started to speak when his words were cut off by Gu Yuan's cold voice.
"Get out."
The Devil Lord seemed really intimidated by Gu Yuan. He didn't step forward anymore. He flicked his sleeves forcefully and replied,
"Gu Yuan, if you have the ability, watch over her well. Don't let me find a loophole. Otherwise, I will definitely take her away."
Gu Yuan ignored him. He just picked me up horizontally and strode out.
As we left, the Devil Lord's voice suddenly came into my mind.
"Remember, you still owe me two lives. I'll come to collect them sooner or later."
I was too weak to respond to him. I tightened my hand around Gu Yuan's neck.
As long as he was by my side, I felt extremely at ease.
I was really too tired. On the way home, I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, the morning sun shone through the white gauze curtains and into the room, shining on my face.
I raised my hand to block the sunlight and lazily opened my eyes. I scanned the room. Where was this?
Suddenly, I was shocked. Could it be that I was still in the illusion and hadn't gotten out?
I quickly flipped out of bed and ran out of the bedroom without even bothering to put on my slippers.
It was a duplex layout. The room was spacious and bright, with a large floor - to - ceiling window covering half of the wall.
The morning sun shone directly into the living room, making it look warm and cozy.
I slapped my face hard, trying to wake myself up.
"Ouch! It hurts so much. This illusion is too real."
While I was still in a daze, someone suddenly approached me from behind. The faint sandalwood scent filled my nostrils and soothed my anxious heart.
I bit my lower lip and looked up at the incredibly handsome face behind me. It seemed so unreal.
The series of illusions, some real and some false, had left a psychological shadow on me. I couldn't tell where the real world was and where the illusion was.
I was so afraid that all the hopes I had at this moment would disappear like a dream bubble the next second.
"This isn't an illusion. You're Gu Yuan, right?" I asked him sincerely with a full - faced expression.
