When Gu Yucheng saw the sycamore trees in the courtyard growing prosperously and lushly, the gentle wind pulling up the skirts of the red clouds at sunset, and everything that was plain but warm, he knew that this was an illusion.
but.
But the moment he saw Bai Yueqiu, with her golden eyes open, and with her lying calmly and peacefully in his arms, Gu Yucheng shed tears.
He didn't want to wake up.
Even if I know this is an illusion. Even if he knew that this was just an illusory bubble accumulated in Taiyi Palace, he still didn't want reality to pop it easily. He still doesn't want to give up this warmth so easily - even if it's like a piece of paper, unable to withstand any touch...
Gu Yucheng asked Bai Yueqiu to lie down gently, leaning on his arm, and looked at Bai Yueqiu with peace of mind.
Bai Yueqiu soon fell asleep gently in her arms.
Gu Yucheng looked at Bai Yueqiu, and black tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes inadvertently.
Behind Gu Yucheng, a black figure was looking at Bai Yueqiu affectionately, looking at him with pity, as if looking at everything in the world.
The whites of Gu Yucheng's eyes quickly dissipated, and his entire eyes turned pure black. The inner demon was slowly replacing Gu Yucheng.
Gu Yucheng didn't know that Bai Zimo had blocked the inner demon for him, nor did he know that there was an inner demon in his body. All he knew was that his consciousness seemed to be dissipating little by little...
But when he saw Bai Yueqiu rubbing his head comfortably in his arms, Gu Yucheng smiled and shed two lines of black tears... and then his consciousness completely dissipated.
The inner demon stretched out his hand uneasily and gently touched Bai Yueqiu's cheek. He felt as if he was living for the girl in his arms, and he felt as if he was born out of sadness. And that heart-wrenching sadness was because of her, just because of this petite body... Looking at her peaceful look... the inner demon actually smiled foolishly - even if he hadn't learned to laugh yet, it was so strange. Smiling, not like a smile, but full of joy...
In that void, I was born in ignorance, and everything was hazy. Only that unforgettable feeling made me know that I suddenly had meaning - living for a girl.
I don’t seem to be able to speak yet.
The inner demon moves his throat in a jerky manner, like a hundred years of rust, and even a single tone seems to be pulled out.
After making an unpleasant sound, the inner demon was a little panicked. He was afraid of waking up the girl in his arms.
He kept moving his mouth, moving his throat over and over again, practicing speaking to the air and to himself...
A warmth touched his inner demon, and he began to read all Gu Yucheng's memories like a book...
Laughing in those ordinary and mediocre days, mourning in the days of suffering mining with Bai Yueqiu, and even learned to be angry the moment Gu Yucheng let go...
The seven emotions and six desires are becoming more and more proficient in the inner demon.
I don't know why, for three whole days... the inner demon held Bai Yueqiu like this, until one day, the wind gently blew Gu Yucheng's cheek, or in other words, gently touched the inner demon. The demon in his heart softly said, "Yueqiu..."
It's like practicing for a long time. I practiced it probably 103,112 times...
Bai Yueqiu rubbed her eyes, opened her sleepy eyes, and saw her brother looking at her with a smile. She shed tears for some reason.
Bai Yueqiu gently wiped Gu Yucheng's tears with her hands, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed.
Bai Yueqiu asked in a panic, "Brother...what's wrong with you?"
Gu Yucheng shook his head and said in a still somewhat jerky voice, "I miss you, Yueqiu."
Bai Yueqiu was a little shy and her cheeks turned slightly red. Gu Yucheng smiled and touched Bai Yueqiu's nose. Some dotingly said, "I will stay with you forever."
Bai Yueqiu nodded and said quietly but firmly, "Wherever my brother goes, I will go."
Gu Yucheng lived here like this...
The real Gu Yucheng, who had lost consciousness, slowly woke up.
After being swallowed by the inner demon, he shouldn't be able to wake up so easily, but for some reason, Gu Yucheng kept feeling his blood beating slightly, and that warmth kept impacting his consciousness and beating himself.
However, the moment he woke up, he realized something was wrong.
Gu Yucheng quickly understood that he was trapped by his inner demons. Although ordinary practitioners do not have inner demons, most practitioners are still aware of some inner demons.
The inner demon also felt Gu Yucheng's awakening and immediately locked Gu Yucheng's consciousness with his own consciousness.
Gu Yucheng silently looked at the black locks surrounding him, a trace of resistance flashed in his heart, and Bai Zimo's seal moved greatly. The original light directly pushed back the inner demon's blockade and pressed towards the inner demon.
The inner demon immediately felt threatened and roared out of instinct. But the seal still pressed against the inner demon.
Seeing that his inner demon was almost unbearable, Gu Yucheng just watched this scene indifferently.
Bai Yueqiu noticed something strange about Gu Yucheng, walked up to Gu Yucheng, and put her hand on the back of Gu Yucheng's hand.
The inner demon who was gritting his teeth was stunned, then smiled, and his momentum became stronger.
Bai Zimo's seal became sluggish. Seeing this situation, Gu Yucheng suppressed Bai Zimo's seal. Although he couldn't control Bai Zimo's seal, he could still suppress it. Gu Yucheng could feel the inner motivation of Bai Yueqiu's hand through his inner demon. It is even said that that grip has unparalleled power for the inner demon...
Gu Yucheng couldn't help but feel shaken for a moment. But he suddenly understood where he was wrong. He should not give up reality because of vain obsessions - this is probably what Zhang Zhilin dislikes about himself.
After thinking about this, Gu Yucheng calmed down completely. Gu Yucheng understood that he wanted to go out and get the inheritance of Taiyi Palace!
The inner demon looked a little panicked as Gu Yucheng regained his composure. Seize the attack. He pounced directly on Gu Yucheng. But Gu Yucheng didn't have any precautions and actually opened his arms.
The golden Gu Yucheng actually saved the dark inner demon, and the two embraced each other.
Gu Yucheng hugged his inner demon tightly and said softly, "You are a good brother."
The inner demon opened his mouth blankly.
Gu Yucheng seemed to be reminiscing, as if he was confiding, "I'm not like you."
Then Gu Yucheng let the chains gradually trap him, "But... I want to go out, I want to find her."
The inner demon suddenly smiled. He could also feel Gu Yucheng's heart. He felt Gu Yucheng's determination...
The black chains shattered silently and fell into pieces.
The inner demon said calmly, "Let me stay with her for three more days. I also know that she is fake, but - it's so warm."
Gu Yucheng looked at the inner demon and nodded. No words were spoken.
