Chapter 103 What are you afraid of? He Qing's mind was still in a mess at this time. He subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from Su Guang, so he strolled a few steps towards the dense forest. "Don't go over there anymore," Su Guang reminded in a gentle voice, "Go forward and you will find another world." He Qing glanced at him with an uncertain look in his eyes: "So, the ghost you are looking for is on this shore?" Su Guang slowly shook his head and looked towards the Sanzu River where he came from: "In the river." "what?" Su Guang looked up at the dark sky, bit his left ring finger, and dripped the blood from his fingertip into the rolling river. Then he quickly formed seals with both hands and chanted, "The world has its own laws, yin and yang are in order, use my power, and obey my orders..." As the spell was uttered, the already turbulent water of the Sanzu River became like boiling water, tumbling violently. It seemed as if something in the water was struggling to pounce on Suguang, and the black birds in the dense forest seemed to have seen their prey. They swooped over in a black mass and circled over the river, blocking out the sun. It was also at this moment that He Qing truly saw what Su Guang had seen—those surging waves were clearly the souls of the dead struggling hard. Not long after, Suguang released his handprint, grabbed the river surface with his right hand, and dragged a stream of dark red water directly from the river. Without Suguang's guidance, the restless river surface gradually returned to its previous appearance.
The black birds seemed to have smelled something and rushed towards the pool of river water on the shore, cackling as if they wanted to swallow it into their stomachs. "Noisy." Su Guang spat out two words impatiently, then waved his sleeves, and the black bird disappeared in an instant, leaving only countless feathers flying in the air. He Qing looked down at the river water on the ground that seemed to have life and was moving on its own, and frowned and said, "Is this the ghost you are looking for?" Suguang did not answer, but walked forward slowly and continued to drip blood from the fingertips of his left hand into the dark red water. After a while, the river water gradually swelled up, and then it grew limbs and hair, and finally turned into a woman in her twenties. The woman was completely naked, with her long hair soaked by the river water tangled around her body. She clasped her arms tightly across her chest, staring blankly at her surroundings, and asked softly, "Where...is this place?" Seeing this, He Qing forgot about his intention to keep a distance from Su Guang. He walked to Su Guang involuntarily and took a look at the woman's face. The woman was very beautiful and looked very docile, and her eyebrows, eyes and facial features gave He Qing a sense of déjà vu. Su Guang squatted on one knee, looked the woman in the eye and said, "This is the Sanzu River, your path to the afterlife." His tone was gentle, and He Qing could even hear some compassion in it. "Santu River, Santu River..." The woman looked at the terrifying dense forest and repeated these three words several times. Suddenly, a light appeared in her unfocused pupils. She turned back and looked at Su Guang: "My God... My God!" There was a tenderness in Su Guang's eyes that He Qing had never seen before. He stretched out his left hand, which was still bleeding, and tidied up the hair that was stuck to the woman's cheek. He said softly, "Go. The past has nothing to do with you anymore. I will complete your unfinished wish for you." The woman held Suguang's hand tightly, tears fell sadly, and she leaned over to the ground sobbing, "God... has not forgotten me..." Su Guang used his index finger to lightly touch the woman's brow, leaving a trace of red, and then said: "God bless you and you will have no worries." "My god..." ※He Qing and Su Guang watched the woman walk into the dense forest until she disappeared. After she left, the driven black birds appeared again, just like when they came, perching in groups on the dead branches on the shore, staring at the Sanzu River with their blood-red eyes, as if monitoring every dead soul in the river. "It turned out to be her." He Qing murmured, turning his head to look at Su Guang beside him: "You saved her." This woman was the old woman who used her body as a vessel to raise Gu and eventually died at the hands of He Qing. When she was a human, she was trapped in the village and suffered pain and torture. After her death, she was trapped in the Sanzu River because of her own revenge and could not be reborn. If Suguang did not rescue her, this would be a very tragic story. Previously, Su Guang didn't care about Chi Ying's life or death. He Qing thought that he was really as cruel and ruthless as the legend said. However, he didn't expect that he would come to Sanzu River specifically for this poor woman.
However, Su Guang said: "She saved me and awakened my consciousness." "..." He Qing realized that Su Guang was going to bring up what happened before going ashore again, and his expression became a little tense. Su Guang sighed as if he was a little tired, looked back at her, and said slowly: "He Qing, I brought you here, and I am not going to let you continue to avoid it. I am the young master of the Demonic Path, and I am also a demon god. Whether you accept it or not, this is the fact." He Qing took a deep breath, turned his back and refused to face Su Guang, and said in a deliberately cold tone: "What does it matter whether I accept it or not? Whether you are a young master or a demon god, I just don't want the thunder to accidentally hurt me when it falls. Is this hard to understand?" Su Guang narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and stared at He Qing's back for a long time. He suddenly grabbed her left arm and lifted her sleeve. On the arm that should have been smooth, there were several irregular charred and cracked scars crisscrossing, and there were traces of lightning hidden in the deeper wounds. Su Guang's dark eyes stared at He Qing steadily, as if he wanted to see into her heart. "If that's the case, why didn't you let go when the thunder of the Yuling Palace fell?" "..." He Qing pulled his hand back in embarrassment, distanced himself from Su Guang, covered his wounds, turned his head to look at the river, and whispered: "I was injured at that time, and I didn't have time to dodge." Su Guang didn't understand why He Qing was so stubborn, and he didn't intend to let her get away with it. With a flick of his fingertips, a thin black beam of light wrapped around He Qing's waist like a ribbon and pulled her directly into his arms. He Qing pursed his lips and was about to fight back when he heard Su Guang sigh: "I didn't lie to you, I am indeed injured, and I may be injured again soon." As if to confirm Suguang's words, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky above the Sandu River, accompanied by slight thunder, and gathered and dispersed on both sides of the river bank, as if searching for something. Su Guang whispered, "This Sanzu River cannot be reversed without divine power. I took away a soul that was supposed to be trapped in it, so it can naturally sense it. So," he hugged He Qing tighter, "Don't bother with it anymore." He Qing knew that Su Guang was threatening her with his life, but she really felt threatened and did not dare to confront Su Guang head-on again. Sensing the change in He Qing's attitude, Su Guang raised the corners of his lips slightly: "See, you still care about me. Young Master, Demon God, they are all me, why are you so awkward, what are you afraid of?" Thanks to Jiujiujiuer for the monthly ticket~! (End of this chapter)
