Chapter 57: "Ghost Fate" backlash
After approving the official document for several days, Shen Tu exhaled heavily, placed the pen on the pen wash, leaned back in the chair, closed his tired and dry eyes, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
The ghost capital does not see the light of day all year round, and the Yama Palace, as the center of the ghost capital, is made of obsidian stone that isolates yang energy, and relies on the ever-bright candle flame to maintain the light on weekdays.
Shen Tu has been buried in the case in this dim flickering candlelight for many years, and the only person who has been by his side has been responsible for sorting out official documents and passing tea.
Recalling the scene on Qingyao Mountain, Shen Tu felt a slight pain in his heart and closed his eyes tighter.
In order to forget this pain, he worked day and night, for several days without sleep. Now he had gotten the result he wanted: his mind was numb, and he could no longer be distracted by the black shadow.
The Yama Hall was silent, and the gods sat like this for a long time, as if they had settled down.
After a long time, he felt that he was almost rested, and he slowly opened his eyes.
In front of her, the girl in black was staring in the distance.
He also stared straight at the girl in black.
When their eyes meet, it seems that thousands of years of time have passed between the two.
The candles in the hall were still dim, and there was the occasional beep when the wick burst out.
Shen Di's eyes flashed, knowing that it was indeed Tang Hua who had returned.
"What are you doing back?"
Tang Hua didn't know how to answer.
She walked up the steps to the Shen Tu table, looked at the official documents scattered on the table and on the ground, and began to kneel down and clean up.
Seeing her like this, Shen Tu clenched his fists slightly.
After finally packing up the official documents, Tang Hua walked to Shen Di's side, skillfully picked up the brewed tea, and poured a cup for him.
Shen Tu put the warm tea into his mouth, and immediately felt a lot more comfortable.
He strained the tea leaves with the lid of the cup and asked, "Does the smoker know that you ran out without permission?"
Tang Hua shook his head. "I asked my senior brother to cover for me, and my master won't know. ”
Thinking of the peerless and graceful Prince of the Heavenly Realm, the movements in Shen Di's hands stagnated, and he asked tentatively, "That Prince of the Divine Realm, is it very good to you?"
Tang Hua didn't know why he asked like this, so he replied truthfully: "Yes, Master is the only one of our two apprentices who practice under his knees, and Master and Senior Brother treat me very well. ”
Shen Tu looked up at Tang Hua. After practicing in Qingyao Mountain, the Immortal Spirit Treasure Land, for thirty years, her posture and demeanor have more of the scorching appearance of a fairy, unlike when she was in the ghost world, she was as gloomy and cold as everyone in the ghost world. In fact, Tang Hua is a bright girl in her bones.
Shen Tu withdrew his gaze, looked ahead unconsciously, and asked, "Do you like the fairy world?"
"Yes, everybody was so nice to me there. ”
"Then do you want to stay in the fairy world forever?"
"I ...... I don't want to. ”
Tears welled up in Tang Hua's eyes. She knelt down to the god and firmly pleaded with him, "Please allow me to return to the ghost realm to serve you immediately." ”
"No!" Shen Tu refused without even thinking about it.
"Why?" Tang Hua looked at him puzzled. Obviously he cares about himself, why does he always push her away?
"Qing Yao cultivation is prescribed by the Emperor of Heaven to practice for a hundred years, and now that only thirty years have passed, and there are still seventy years left, how can this king summon you back in advance?"
Tang Hua didn't give up, and continued to ask: "What about seventy years later, will Tang Hua be able to return to Lord Hades as a personal maid like before?"
"You have now entered the Immortal Realm Zhongzun Sect, this is something that tens of millions of people in the Six Realms dream of and cannot want, you should cherish it! If Xunchi leaves you to continue cultivating under his sect, it will be very good for you, and this king will not interfere. ”
"Speaking of which, Lord Hades just doesn't want Tang Hua to return to the ghost world anymore!" Tang Hua was a little injured, "But Tang Hua is a person from the ghost world after all, and the ghost world is Tang Hua's home, if he can't return to the ghost world, then in this vast world, Tang Hua is actually a homeless person!"
Hearing her say this, Shen Tu felt a little unbearable, but he still relented and continued: "Xunchi and Le Yan will protect you, and in the future, you will treat Qingyao Mountain as your home." I will ask the Emperor of Heaven to take off your ghost status and let you become an immortal. From now on, you are no longer a member of the ghost world. ”
Tang Hua finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears. Her voice trembled a little, "Are you going to expel me from the ghost world?"
Shen Tu turned his back to her and kept silent.
"Why? Because Tang Hua saved those demon soldiers in the Battle of the Quicksand River, did he violate the law that the ghost world is not allowed to participate in disputes in the outside world?"
"Or is it because the Hades King has feelings for Tang Hua, in order not to violate "Ghost Life", you have to drive Tang Hua out of the ghost world and prevent Tang Hua from continuing to stay by your side?"
"You ......" Shen Tu immediately turned around in surprise, just in time to meet Tang Hua's complaining and persistent eyes, he flicked his sleeves suddenly, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! Who said that this king has feelings for you!"
"If you didn't have feelings for Tang Hua, why did you ask my grandfather to bring my favorite dim sum when I went to Qingyao?"
"If you don't have feelings for Tang Hua, why do you have to expel me from the ghost world?"
"If you weren't emotionally attached to Tang Hua, why did you call my name in your sleep before, ...... And kissed me?"
Tang Hua stubbornly stared at Shen Tu, pressing step by step, insisting that Shen Tu admit it.
Shen Tu didn't expect that it was not a dream, Tang Hua really came to him in his sleep, and he also took the opportunity to kiss her.
That secret dream...... He thought it was because Tang Hua went to Qingyao, and he couldn't restrain his thoughts to have such a real dream.
He has always just wanted to bury that dream in the deepest part of his heart, and only take it out as a consolation when he is in pain, just because it was the most intimate moment between him and her, and this moment of satisfaction was enough to offset the heart-piercing pain brought to him by the "Ghost Fate" contract.
Shen Tu turned around, helped Tang Hua up, and gently wiped away her tears.
"That's right, I'm in love with you. A long, long time ago, I fell in love with you unconsciously, and when I found out that my love for you was so deep, how terrified I was! But it was too late! I couldn't suppress that love with all my might. As the King of Hades, I shoulder the responsibility of guarding the ghost world, so I must abide by "Ghost Life" and be a ruthless Hades, so I ruthlessly sent you to Qingyao, thinking that if you are not by my side, I can forget you and become the original indifferent and ruthless Hades. ”
"But I was wrong...... After you left, in the past 30 years, every year has passed, I can't remember what day I lived that year, the only thing I can remember is that every day, I think about you. I want to know if you are still as clumsy as you were when you were by my side, and if you make a mistake, what will you do if you are punished by the smoke pool? I want to know if your cultivation has improved, and is the cultivation on Qingyao Mountain too bitter for you? I want to know if you have learned badly with the two cynical prodigal sons of Zhige and Le Yan, and why haven't you come back to the ghost world to see me for a long time? I want to know, there, do you miss me as much as I miss you?!
Tang Hua never thought that Hades would love her like this, she was so happy, but she was too sad. The two of them, how much time wasted.
Suddenly, a fiery kiss came to her, and Tang Hua was tightly embraced in her arms.
Shendi's kiss was as crazy as if it had been restrained for too long and finally been able to vent, Tang Hua closed his eyes and let him kiss wantonly. Her heart was beating fast, and she was already immersed in the joy of being skin-to-skin with her sweetheart.
After a while, she was pushed away by the gods, and she took a few steps back, not knowing what had happened, but she saw that the gods in front of her had fallen to the ground. His face was twisted, as if he was enduring great pain, and before Tang Hua could get closer, Shen Tu had already let out a "wow" and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Hua hurriedly knelt down and asked with concern.
Shen Tu clutched his left chest, where it was as if thousands of steel needles had pierced in unison, making him want to die in pain.
His face turned pale, and when he looked up and saw Tang Hua looking at him, he forced out a smile in order to comfort her. Tang Hua saw his too reluctant smile, and became more and more worried.
"What the hell is going on? Are you hurt? Where are you hurt?"
Shen Tu gritted his teeth, and finally spit out a few words: "It's ...... "Ghost Life". ”
Tang Hua said strangely: "Ghost Destiny? Isn't "Ghost Destiny" just a contract? Why is it ......?" she widened her eyes and looked at Shen Di in disbelief: "Could it be that every time you are emotional, "Ghost Destiny" will attack you like this?"
Seeing that Shen Tu closed his eyes and didn't answer, Tang Hua held back the bitterness in his throat and continued to ask: "That's why you let me go to Qingyao Mountain and drive me away from you, so that you won't be counterattacked?"
Shen Tu still didn't answer.
Tang Hua burst into tears, and his body collapsed weakly. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Di's collar with both hands, and asked sharply: "Did you do it on purpose? Just now you said that you like me, and you kissed me, all so that I can see with my own eyes the situation of "Ghost Fate" against you, and let me choose to leave for your life! Shen Di, you did it on purpose!"
Shen Di looked at Tang Hua's face full of tears and hatred as he approached, and his heart ached, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It's the first time Tang Hua has seen Shen Tu suffer such a serious injury, is "Ghost Life" really so effective? If they are really together, doesn't it mean that Shen Tu will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and all forms and gods will be destroyed?
She was unwilling, she already knew that Hades also loved her, they were in love with each other, and they were people in the same world, they didn't get in the way of anyone, and they didn't violate the "Code of Heaven and Earth", why can't they be together? Does Hades have to be ruthless? Why does Hades have to be the most pitiful person in the world?
"Tell me, how can I crack "Ghost Life"?" Tang Hua's eyes were full of determination, as if she had just forced Shen Tu to admit that she loved her.
""Ghost Fate" was left by the first Hades King, and even the emperor today can't break it. If you insist on being with me, I will die. Now I haven't elected the next Hades King, if I die suddenly, the ghost world and the three worlds of people, immortals, and demons that are closely related to the ghost world will be in chaos, Tang Hua, if you want me to die, let me arrange everything, and then I will be with you as you wish, and then, the form and spirit will be destroyed!"
"Heh!" Tang Hua laughed foolishly, "Do you really want to threaten me with your own life?" ”
Shen Tu swallowed the blood foam in his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Tang Hua, this is the fate of you and me, we can only admit it." Let's go, and don't go back to the ghost world in the future. ”
After saying that, he felt that all thoughts were lost.
Tang Hua looked at him in a daze, and his eyes gradually lost their brilliance.
