Chapter 164: There Is an End to Everything
The only thing that left a regret in Ling Ziye's heart was that Meng Su would sleep like a pig every night.
On many nights, Ling Ziye would stroke Meng Su's chest with full love, looking at Meng Su's sleeping face with blurred eyes, muttering, "Little Su, it's so good to have you. Do you know? The way you throw yourself into danger for your friends really fascinates your wife. I really like you."
Under Ling Ziye's caress, Meng Su smacked his lips impatiently, turned his head, and continued to sleep.
Sometimes Meng Su would wake up in the middle of the night and find Ling Ziye staring at him with her chin in her hands. At this time, Meng Su would say, "Little Ye, it's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping?"
Ling Ziye pouted and said, "Sleep, sleep, you only know how to sleep. That's not how husband and wife are supposed to be."
"Then how are they supposed to be?" Meng Su mumbled.
"They should be like this." Ling Ziye suddenly burrowed into Meng Su's arms, wrapped Meng Su's arm around her waist, and stared fixedly at Meng Su's face.
Seeing that beautiful, infinitely sexy face before him, Meng Su suddenly kissed Ling Ziye on the lips.
This kiss made Ling Ziye's heart pound wildly, expecting Meng Su to have further actions, but Meng Su only hugged her slightly tighter and fell into a deep sleep again.
Ling Ziye felt a slight disappointment in her heart, but she hugged Meng Su tightly, feeling sweet inside.
A month later, Meng Su went from deep sleep to having nightmares. He would be startled awake by various nightmares from time to time. In his dreams, Shi Xiaoxiao and Li Bai were being hunted down, Wuniannian's innocent big eyes were looking at him with eyes full of tears, and Xuanwu Island was filled with demonic energy, with multiple Supremes attacking it.
Every time Meng Su was startled awake, Ling Ziye would hold Meng's head in her arms, gently patting Meng Su's back to comfort him, and coaxing Meng Su back to sleep.
Three months later, Meng Su began to have his days and nights reversed.
He would sleep soundly during the day and run outside at night to look at the sky, as if there was something extremely attractive in the sky.
After discovering Meng Su's abnormal behavior, Ling Ziye began to worry. She felt uneasy in her heart, both hoping that Meng Su would wake up and fearing that Meng Su, once awake, would leave her. Ling Ziye accompanied Meng Su to look at the sky all night, hugging Meng Su from behind.
Every time this happened, Meng Su would always say to Ling Ziye, "Little Ye, you go back to sleep first, I'll be back in a while."
Ling Ziye hugged Meng Su and protested, "If Husband doesn't go back, Little Ye won't go back either. Little Ye wants to accompany Husband."
Meng Su could only continue to observe the sky. Ling Ziye accompanied him until dawn, and then they went back to sleep together.
The surrounding villagers began to find this young couple strange. The woman was as beautiful as a fairy, while the man was ordinary-looking and even carried a bit of idiocy. This was a typical case of a flower stuck in cow dung. What was most puzzling was that this woman, as beautiful as a fairy, had no bottom line to her love for this man.
Another few months passed, and Meng Su began to wake up, but this waking time was very short. Sometimes, after waking up and seeing Ling Ziye sleeping beside him, holding him tightly, listening to Ling Ziye's steady breathing, and smelling the faint fragrance on Ling Ziye's body, he could only shake his head helplessly. But after waking up from sleep, he would forget what happened before; his memory stopped at the days he lived with Ye.
Another month later, Meng Su's Demon Power began to spiral out of control, sometimes transforming into the Devouring Demon Body, sometimes turning into the Black and White Thought Body.
During this process, Yaya came out of the Demon Domain once. Seeing the sweet days of the two, the little girl covered her eyes and muttered, "Shame, shame, shame," and hid back into the Demon Domain.
After a month of observing the sky, Meng Su had some enlightenment in his eyes, but this enlightenment was quickly suppressed by the Demon Gu mark.
As time passed, the Chaos Power on Meng Su slowly dissipated. When Meng Su looked up at the stars, he often heard a voice: "You are mine, you cannot escape. Obediently be my Demon Gu; this is your fate."
Every time he heard this summons, Meng Su would look up toward the north. That was the location of the Monster Forest. All the Demon Children were training in the Monster Forest, and Wuyue had also returned to the Monster Forest after being defeated.
"I am me, and you are also me. If you are not me, I will erase you," Meng Su muttered to himself.
Ling Ziye saw Meng Su's abnormality, leaned against Meng Su, and asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Meng Su shook his head, his eyes beginning to fall into a daze again, and said, "Nothing? I keep hearing a voice."
Ling Ziye was shocked and said, "What voice? Is it a command or a compulsion?"
Meng Su turned back to look at Ling Ziye, surprised, and said, "How did Madam know?"
Ling Ziye looked at the northern sky and pondered for a while before saying, "Husband, we are moving."
"Why? We are living well here."
Meng Su asked blankly.
Ling Ziye said softly, "Husband, don't ask why. Bad people have come looking for us. Will you listen to your wife?"
Meng Su nodded and replied blankly, "I will listen to Madam."
The next day, Ling Ziye packed her things and left the grassland on the Moonlight Boat.
Two days after the two left, a mass of mist appeared on the grassland. As the mist dissipated, Wuyue appeared on the grassland. At this time, the sub-sword of the Ferocious Sword on Wuyue had disappeared. Wuyue had returned to her peak state.
Besides this Ferocious Sword, the Mist Demon Sect also had a higher-level Ferocious Sword, which was used as the sect-suppressing divine artifact. The elders of the Mist Demon Sect used the sect's Ferocious Sword to unlock the sub-sword on Wuyue.
After Wuyue manifested, her Divine Sense swept over and discovered the lingering aura of Meng Su. Knowing that Meng Su and Ling Ziye had just left not long ago, the furious Wuyue killed all the villagers on the grassland and then left indignantly.
This time, Ling Ziye settled down in a small town. Ling Ziye bought an inn and became the landlady.
Another month later, on the night of the full moon, Meng Su heard the summons from the sky again. This time, Ling Ziye also noticed the abnormality because she practiced Moon Power. Although she didn't know what the summons was saying, she could perceive the descent of Divine Sense from the fluctuations of the Moon Power.
Ling Ziye began her second move. This time, the two moved to a temple in the deep mountains. It was unknown what deity was worshipped in this temple, but there was no incense, only one or two Taoist priests, who were dismissed by Ling Ziye.
This time, they found the right place. This small temple actually had traces of Array Power. Perhaps the abbot of this temple in some era was an Array Cultivator who had carved a temple-protecting array. Although it was old and had declined significantly, becoming a remnant array with no offensive power, it could barely shield the Heavenly Secrets.
For the past half year, Ling Ziye had been both happy and worried. She was very afraid that this beautiful time would be snatched away or destroyed by someone.
Every morning, Ling Ziye would pray before the unknown deity in the temple.
A cold-blooded assassin had suddenly become anxious and fearful.
Just as Ling Ziye was rejoicing that she had finally found a perfect hiding place, Meng Su's waking time became longer and longer.
Sometimes, his waking time would exceed an hour. Although he would fall into chaos again after an hour, this hour was enough for Meng Su to do many things.
Finally, one time when Meng Su was awake, Ling Ziye was in the kitchen cooking for Meng Su. Meng Su walked silently behind Ling Ziye and said softly to her, "Thank you."
Ling Ziye's whole body shook. After turning around and seeing Meng Su's bright eyes, she knew that the decisive Meng Su had returned.
Ling Ziye smiled reluctantly and said, "We are husband and wife, why the need for thanks?"
Meng Su opened his arms, hugged Ling Ziye, and said softly, "Madam, I want to go to our first home, that grassland."
Ling Ziye was both surprised and happy. If the previous Meng Su was in a state of ignorance, the current Meng Su was in a state of clarity. Meng Su could treat her like this, which showed that he had already accepted her in his heart.
A string of tears flowed from the corners of Ling Ziye's eyes. She hugged Meng Su tightly, as if Meng Su would disappear if she let go.
