My Husband Wants to Kill Me: Book 1
墨書 Inktalez
Amidst the raging wind and rain, on the eve of impending thunder, I used the Shadow Shift technique to return to the palace as Lou Wang and Wu You turned their heads simultaneously.
The pain in my chest surged like a tempest.
I doubled over, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Before long, Lou Wang seemed to sense something and entered with medicine in hand.
He reached out to feel my forehead. "How did you suddenly fall ill? Did you catch a chill?"
The fleeting look of concern in his eyes made it hard for me to discern its authenticity.
His warm palm brushed against my cheek, inch by inch.
I couldn't help but lean into his touch.
In the next moment, he poured a bottle of Soul Binding Soup into my mouth.
The bitter taste spread across my lips and teeth, and I vomited all over the floor.
Lou Wang smiled with a hidden edge. "Liu Xia, though this medicine is bitter, it will help you forget all your pain."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
I stared at him with wide eyes, trying desperately to find even a hint of guilt on his flawless face.
But all I saw was cold indifference.
"Lou Wang, I've known you for tens of thousands of years."
"I always thought you were an upright deity."
"I never expected you would use such despicable means against me."
Lou Wang's tone suddenly turned harsh. "You were the one who deceived me first!"
Memories surged back to five hundred years ago.
It was when I first met Lou Wang.
At that time, he was besieged by demons and gravely injured; it was I who saved him.
He lay in the grass, barely alive, and with no other choice, I had to take out a pill and feed it to him.
After Lou Wang woke up, he proposed to teach me how to cultivate immortality.
I thought he would treat me well, just like my master did.
But I didn’t expect that he had his own agenda.
I brought him home, along with Wu You.
They were surprised to see Xian Yao.
After all, Xian Yao is an ordinary person, while I am indeed a demon.
Xian Yao was also taken aback upon seeing them.
The three of them exchanged glances, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
I kindly broke the silence, “Xian Yao, this is my friend Lou Wang.”
“And this is Wu You.”
Xian Yao offered a distant yet polite smile, “You two have traveled a long way; why not stay for a few days?”
Wu You seemed puzzled, “Aren’t you a demon? Why are you living with a mortal?”
I didn’t respond to his question and went out to buy groceries, leaving space for the three of them to interact.
However, I didn’t expect that as soon as I left, the barrier would be breached.
Wu You vanished without a trace.
In the depths of the forest, I found Xian Yao’s handkerchief.
It was clutched in the mouth of the demon beast Tao Wu, stained with blood.
The handkerchief was made from high-quality Heavenly Spirit Earthly Treasure and embroidered with Xian Yao’s name.
Thus, I recognized it at a glance.
Following the trail of blood, I arrived at the Inner Hall.
There, I saw an Ancient Demon Beast, Tao Wu, lying on the altar with Xian Yao’s handkerchief in its mouth.
My heart tightened.
Could it be that Xian Yao has encountered misfortune?
A surge of anger rose from the depths of my heart.
“Tao Wu, return my sister’s life!”
I transformed into my true form and charged at Tao Wu, engaging in a fierce struggle.
No matter how it clawed at me, I paid no heed.
Flesh tore and pain surged through me.
But I was completely indifferent.
All that occupied my mind was the singular thought of making Tao Wu pay with its life.
Suddenly, the door swung open.
“Sister, are you alright?”
The voice of Xian Yao reached me.
I let out a sigh of relief; it seemed she was unharmed.
But where was she?
“Liu Xia, don’t move.”
The Binding Immortal Rope ensnared me to the ground.
Behind me stood Lou Wang with an indifferent expression.
It turned out that Xian Yao had deliberately lured Tao Wu here, while Lou Wang used the Binding Immortal Rope to trap me.
Xian Yao looked apologetic. “Sister, it’s all my fault for acting in haste; I forgot that you are also a demon.”
