Chapter 95: The Secret

The next day, I woke up and saw Yin Feng sitting in the room. There was a bowl of steaming medicine soup on the table in front of him. I had already smelled the strong smell of herbs.

"Miss, don't worry, just a little bit of fetal breath, and drinking this bowl of medicine will be fine."

Seeing me wake up, Yin Feng walked to my bed with the medicine.

I slowly sat up and drank the bowl of bitter medicinal soup in one gulp.

"When is this?"

“It’s already noon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and then a white dress came into view.

Gui Chen walked in with a tray, then took out a few steaming plates from the tray and placed them on the table. Suddenly, the herbs in the room smelled more of the mortal cooked food.

"It's so stupid to be a mother but don't know how to take care of yourself." He put another box on the table, "I won't give you the other three items you want." After that, he left the room with a tray.

Yin Feng smiled silently and said to me: "He went to the mortal town early in the morning. I think he has prepared these foods for you."

I looked at the plates of side dishes, and suddenly I felt my stomach empty. So I got up from the bed and walked to the table, sat down and picked up the chopsticks. I looked at the box that should have two demon spirits. I thought about it and forgot to pick up the food for a while.

"Miss, I still want to mention some things to the girl."

I picked up the dishes from one of the dishes and took a bite. The food was fresh and warm, and it was indeed the taste when it was just out of the pot.

"He and I were not qualified to talk about gratitude and hatred, but the fate of the world is not something we can control. It is like my friendship with repaying gratitude, or Yunniang and me..." At this moment, a hint of sadness and helplessness appeared in his tone, but he adjusted his emotions and continued, "He has always been very arrogant and always disdainful to everything. Back then, I couldn't stand the desolation and loneliness in this valley, so I went out for an impulse, and only he always stayed here. In fact, I also know that he took on the responsibility that should have been shared by both of us, but why wasn't he lonely in his heart? Why didn't he yearn for the outside world? Until... he met you.

"I already discovered the difference when I met him in Suining Town. Every time you and the Young Master Meng left, he would unconsciously keep looking at your back. Even though he would speak coldly to you every time, after you left, he would tease and reminisce about those words for a long time, and even forgot that I was still sitting by the side watching him.

"This time I stayed in the valley. He went out to find the seal pearl, but he didn't expect that he would sneak into the divine realm alone and was injured because of it. I only realized yesterday that he was trying to check your life experience."

I swallowed another bite of the dish, but my hand holding the chopsticks stopped where it was.

"Yinfeng Immortal, tell me these...I want to..."

"The girl doesn't have to worry about it. After tomorrow, we will no longer exist. I just want the girl to know that his little thoughts can at least leave a mark on our existence."

After saying that, Yin Feng also took out a short white Xiao. This Xiao seemed to be somewhat similar to Guichen's forbidden Xiao, but it was shorter and more refined.

"This Xiao was made by me with a piece of spiritual jade. I collected the spiritual power and breath left by Gui Chen in the valley and injected it into it. To be honest, it is also a spiritual object. I want to give it to the girl. Perhaps one day, this Xiao can also cultivate the spirit. This spirit must have melted a trace of Gui Chen's spiritual energy, so let it replace Gui Chen to protect the girl. Gui Chen didn't know about this, and the girl just thought everything was as usual."

Yin Feng put Short Xiao on the table, smiled politely at me, and then carried the empty medicine bowl and exited the door.

I looked at the short Xiao, picked up the dish on the plate and ate it a few bites, but I felt my eyes were a little hot. Maybe it was because the dish was a bit spicy.

The day was extremely quiet. After lunch, Gui Chen and Yin Feng had never come. I took a short break and handed over the demon spirit to the flower and birds. She was happy, but she did not leave immediately. Then, no one came to disturb her again, and everyone seemed to be silently waiting for tomorrow's arrival.

I was alone, and I couldn't help but be filled with my whole mind again by the mixed thoughts. I just stood, sat, walked leisurely outside the door, or leaned on the bed for a while, and somehow it was already night.

A feeling of distress came, but I could not fall asleep.

Then, the door opened. Gui Chen still carried a tray and walked in. The dishes in the tray were still emitting a hot smell, and the fresh smell suddenly filled the room.

Seeing that I was leaning on the bed again, he deliberately did not make a sound. He just put the side dishes on the table, called me to eat while it was hot, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Stay stay!" I called him as he was about to open the door.

He stopped, turned slightly to look at me. I got up from the bed and walked to the table.

"The immortal worked so hard to bring back these good dishes for me, why don't he enjoy a meal with me?"

"No, I have practiced the technique of fasting and I don't need to eat."

Although he said that, he had no intention of opening the door and leaving. I smiled, walked around to his side, took the chair out, looked at him and said, "Is that so? Then I'm so strange. If the immortal really had never eaten mortal food, how could he buy such delicious side dishes at once? Yes, the immortal has the ability to predict the future, right?"

Gui Chen was the usual angry look of being exposed with a noble appearance, but afterwards, he still came over and sat on the chair I had arranged for him.

I went to the opposite side of him, raised my hand gently, and an emerald green porcelain pot was added in my palm.

"This is the drunken flower wine I bought from A Nian just now. It is a thank you to the immortals carefully prepare meals for me."

After saying that, I waved my hand and created two wine glasses on the table, and then poured the wine.

I picked up the wine glass first and raised it: "I heard that many mortals like to drink a drink while enjoying the scenery or gatherings. The scenery in this valley is wonderful. How about we imitate mortals and drink a drink?"

He looked at me with a strange look, then unexpectedly snatched the wine glass in my hand and threw it down and complained: "How can you drink with your body?"

But after he finished speaking, he drank two glasses of wine, without any noble appearance of immortality. Moreover, seeing the skillful raised his hand and raised his head and drank it all in one go, I am afraid that it was not the first time I drank it.

After two glasses of wine, in order to pour a cup of tea, he took the wine pot from front of me, filled one of the empty wine glasses, and created a pair of bowls and chopsticks, picked up the dishes from one of the plates, and took a bite.

"Can the immortal lend me your forbidden Xiao? After tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see such a magic weapon again."

He hesitated when he heard my request, but he still reached out to activate the spiritual power, and a long greenish-colored Xiao was already in his hands.

He looked at me with a complicated expression, and finally handed Xiao to me, then raised another glass of wine and drank it all.

I looked at this Xiao carefully and gently stroked it from top to bottom with my hands.

"Is this Cang Li's former partner with Xiao?"

Gui Chen might have been surprised when he heard my question, but he immediately said, "This was done by Mrs. Aoki for Lord Cangli with his own hands."

"A Xiao and Shi are also related to the relationship. Maybe he never thought that the Xiao and jade pendant he wore would eventually save his life."

I held Changxiao tightly, but an exquisite carving knife had appeared in my other hand.

"what you do!?"

Gui Chen finally couldn't sit still, so he put the wine glass on the table and stood up.

"Don't move! Otherwise, I will crush this Xiao!"

He frowned and stared at me.

I picked up the carving knife slowly and carefully engraved the word "Guichen" on one end of Xiao.

Then, I gently blew away the debris of the jade, handed Chang Xiao back to Gui Chen, and then smiled and said to him: "In this way, even if he comes back to life, I will always remember that you gave him the chance to be reborn. Unfortunately, I can't engrave his name on Yin Feng's jade pendant."

Gui Chen was also lost his mind for a moment and took Chang Xiao dullly. I stood up and Zhen Man for him, brought it to him and looked at him with a smile.

"Don't worry, Xiao is already in your hands. How dare I destroy the immortal things easily!"

He sat down slowly, took the wine glass, and drank it all in one go.

We finished the last supper slowly and saw a pot of wine. It was late at night, and Gui Chen packed up the plate and left the room with a little drunkenness, leaving only the silence and loneliness of the room. I lay back on the bed and fell asleep unknowingly.

"Cangli...Cangli...you are finally back...Don't leave me behind..."

"Zhuoer, I'm back and won't leave."

In the mood imposed by another consciousness, I suddenly woke up, feeling a little pain in my head and a slight dizziness.

The veil by the bed was halfway down, blurring a lot of vision. I slowly sat up and found that it was already bright. When was it? I just thought that I should meet with A Nian and the others quickly and go to the vicinity of the stream, but when I raised my eyes again, my body completely froze.

At this moment, my back was facing away from me, and the back... my heartbeat suddenly, and I seemed to have... missed something.

I tried to recall whether there was a memory missing or the memory was confused. But the next moment, the person had turned around and looked at me without any concealment, revealing infinite tenderness in his eyes, but I knew that the tenderness was not for me more.

Cang Li, he is indeed back.

"You're awake, Yinluo."

When I saw him, I felt that something was instantly filled with, something wanted to explode, so I felt extremely confused and absent for a moment. I just watched him walk to my bed, let him sit next to me, and put his hands on my shoulder.

At this moment, a strong warmth spread throughout my body. I knew that this feeling was definitely not mine, but I was unable to resist and accepted it silently.

"I'm not Aoki Taku."

After a long time, I suddenly lowered my head and took a lot of effort to say this. I obviously felt my shoulders tightening, but then I heard his voice.

"You are Yinluo, not Zhuoer. I know."

"That engagement...I don't want to be a stand-in."

"I know."

But he didn't mean to take his hand away from my shoulder.

"I am already... pregnant, and the father of the child is... a mortal."

"I know."

I suddenly felt a little anxious because I didn't know what I wanted to express, but I didn't have the courage to really break free from his arms.

He hugged me tighter in anxiety.

"Zhuo'er is a love that cannot be erased in my heart, but it is also a deep pain. You are different. You have the same appearance as her, and her blood flows in your body, but you are you, Yinluo, not Aoki Zhuo. I never wanted to treat you as a substitute."

I couldn't understand his words. What I had expected happened. I had no idea how to face Cang Li's real resurrection, and I didn't even know why I had to enter the situation where he resurrected him.

The forty years of memories buried in the Demon Realm and Cangli day and night, all emerged and filled my mind and made me very painful. Even if there was no too much communication and interaction, and not much waves or experience, it was forty years after all! In those days, all my joys, anger, sorrow and happiness were only on one person, and all my eyes could only be placed on one person, as if they had become a habit. The image of this person has been deeply imprinted in my memory. Even if it was not the kind of memory that relied on emotions, I still couldn't face it calmly at this moment.

"what's on your mind?"

He finally let go of the hand on my shoulder, but turned to sit with me, and threw his uncovered gaze on me.

"I……"

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door.

Cang Li turned his head and looked a little serious, but when he turned to look at me again, he returned to the gentleness he had before.

"I know your concerns and some emotions, and I can't tell you clearly, but this time, yours has indeed helped me, so I can't ignore you. Let's rest first, don't think about it, I'll go back."

After saying that, Cang Li got up, opened the door and walked out of the room.
