Bai Qi rarely spoke so domineeringly. He had always been the image of a warm - hearted guy. Who would have thought that for my sake today, he really impressed me.
"I've got something to attend to. You go back with Jun He first. I'll be back soon."
Before I could ask further, he gave the water cup with the Meng Po Soup to Jun He. Then, with a turn of his figure, he transformed into a blue light and disappeared without a trace.
Jun He carried me in his arms, holding the Meng Po Soup in his hand, and gave me a sideways smirk.
"Hehe... It's finally in my hands. Come on, my dear, it's time to take your medicine."
Jun He's lecherous look showed he was a real rascal.
I pushed him hard and said, "Get off me. I'll walk by myself. I don't need you to carry me."
"Nope... Since you've broken up with Gu Yuan, I'm the legitimate successor. How could I let you go? I'm telling you, I'll never let go in this lifetime."
Jun He had never changed. He always went against my wishes. If I wanted to go east, he'd surely go west.
I was already heart - broken. With his provocation, I didn't even have time to be sad.
When I returned to the pink room in the City of Eternal Night, Jun He directly placed me on the sofa.
Seeing me all bruised, A Yin quickly fetched a quilt to cover me and then rushed to get the first - aid kit.
"A Yin, don't look for it. Gu Yuan has already applied medicine on me."
A Yin put down the first - aid kit, took my hand, and said, "You saw him. Why didn't he come back with you?"
When she mentioned Gu Yuan, the emotions that had just calmed down welled up again.
"We... we've broken up. He doesn't want me anymore."
After saying that, I gave A Yin a bitter smile without further explanation.
"A Yin, I'm okay. You go back to your room and rest. I'm a bit tired and want to sleep."
A Yin sighed heavily, rummaged through the closet, and took out a pajamas. She said,
"Let me help you wipe your body before you go to sleep, okay?"
I nodded at A Yin. After she wiped my body with a towel, I went to bed.
After I lay down on the bed, waiting for A Yin to turn off the light, a large expanse of red moonlight shone on the head of the bed.
Only then did I realize that today was the fourteenth day of the lunar month. Tomorrow would be the day when Gu Yuan faced the Thunder Tribulation.
He hadn't faced the Thunder Tribulation for three months. Would it be extremely painful this time? Moreover, he had been stabbed by Bai Qi today. Could he bear it?
I don't know why, but I still couldn't accept the fact that he had broken up with me.
I always felt that this was just a dream. When I woke up tomorrow, Gu Yuan would come back to me. It must be a dream.
Before I knew it, I fell into a dream. I slept soundly this time, without even a dream.
It was not until early the next morning that Jun He pushed the door open and brought me a glass of water that I woke up from my sleep.
"Get up. The sun is shining on your butt," Jun He said.
I rubbed my eyes sleepily, looked out at the pitch - blackness, and said to Jun He, "This is the Underworld. Where is there any daytime? Stop talking nonsense."
Jun He smiled obsequiously and said, "Good. You're not a fool. Drink the water. After you drink it, I'll take you to a place with sunlight to get some calcium. Otherwise, if you become a lame in the future, I won't support you."
"Don't worry. I don't need your support even if I don't become a lame."
I took the water cup from him and was about to put it to my lips. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jun He's face turn extremely serious. When I looked back at him, he showed his teeth and smiled at me.
I suddenly became alert. I looked down at the glass of water in my hand, feeling that something was not right.
"Jun He, what is this you're giving me to drink?" My voice became low. The smile on my face just now disappeared, and I regained my calm.
"Nothing. It's just a glass of water. What could it be?" He was still pretending.
I had had contact with him in the City of Eternal Night before. At that time, Jun He was still the innocent young master of the City of Eternal Night. But he had a weakness. Whenever he lied, his eyes would surely glance to the left.
I didn't expect this habit to remain unchanged for thousands of years.
"Is this Meng Po Soup?" I didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore and asked directly.
Jun He still wanted to pretend, but before he could say anything, I directly splashed the water in the cup out.
Seeing this, Jun He quickly changed his expression. He quickly drew a circle with one hand. Before the water hit the ground, he retrieved it and poured it back into the water cup in my hand, then immediately snatched it back.
"Just as I thought. Jun He, do you know what Meng Po Soup means?"
Seeing that I had exposed him, Jun He didn't want to hide it anymore. He replied, "I know. It means you'll forget the past, all the things that happened before."
"That is to say, I... I won't only forget Gu Yuan, but also you, Bai Qi, and all the things before I was twenty - two years old."
"So what? I'll always stay by your side. Not only me, but also Bai Qi, A Yin, and the immortals in your sect. They'll all guard you. As long as you drink it, everything will start over."
Jun He held the water cup, his face looking gloomy, and his eyes showing coercion.
I sat on the bed, constantly moving my feet backward. I could already tell what he meant.
If I didn't drink it, he clearly intended to force me.
"Jun He, you can't do this. You should know how painful it is for a person without a past to live. Gu Yuan is an example."
"Don't mention him to me. His lack of a past has nothing to do with me. If you have no past, I'll weave a beautiful past for you. So you don't need to worry about this. Just drink it."
He was getting closer and closer. I looked around, rolled over, got out of bed from the other side, and wanted to open the door and leave directly.
But just as I reached the door and opened it, the door suddenly closed. I stood inside the door, constantly pounding on it. Seeing A Yin pass by my door, I shouted outside:
"A Yin, help me. A Yin, A Yin..."
But she didn't hear me at all and walked away without even turning her head.
In just a moment, Jun He was already standing in front of me, with a lecherous smile on his face. "Shout all you want. No one will come to save you."
I leaned against the door with my back, watching him walk towards me. After all, the Demon Lord was the Demon Lord. Whenever he was serious, his intimidating power was really chilling.
"Jun He, I'm begging you. I can't drink this. I promised someone that I would remember everything and hold on to what he forgot. If you make me drink it, there'll be no turning back."
My voice was filled with sobs. The wound on my knee hadn't fully healed, and it was shaking badly. I couldn't hold on for long. Finally, I simply knelt on the ground, looking at Jun He with a pleading face, hoping that he would let me go.
But Jun He seemed determined and didn't listen to a word I said. Holding the Meng Po Soup in his hand, he strode towards me.
