Yama's Wedding
Yao Guang looked at Xiao Yao Yu in front of him, feeling no nervousness at all; instead, his mind was surprisingly clear.
"You don't seem surprised to see me here," Xiao Yao Yu said as he sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Should I be surprised? If you think I should act a bit more shocked, then I'll oblige you," Yao Guang replied, putting on an exaggerated expression of astonishment.
"Heh, interesting. Yao Guang, you are quite amusing," Xiao Yao Yu remarked, observing the surprised look on Yao Guang's face.
"Only you would think that. But did you know? You are quite interesting yourself, Xiao Yao Yu," Yao Guang said, emphasizing each word.
"It seems everyone has misjudged you. Compared to Young Master Xue by your side, you're also someone not to be underestimated," Xiao Yao Yu said with a cheerful demeanor, slowly engaging in conversation with Yao Guang.
"That line should be returned to you," Yao Guang replied, looking at Xiao Yao Yu. In this Xiao Yao Villa, if anyone could be considered the least remarkable, it would undoubtedly be Xiao Yao Yu. Not only did he lack the striking beauty of the two sisters, Xiao Yao Hao and Roux, but he also appeared somewhat frail. Sitting there with a pale complexion and prominent veins on his hands, he was the kind of person who seemed harmless at first glance. Such individuals often lulled others into a false sense of security before delivering a fatal blow when least expected. And Xiao Yao Yu was definitely one of those people.
While Yao Guang spoke casually, his eyes kept darting toward the door. Although he maintained a relaxed facade, he felt tense inside. Xiao Yao Yu had come alone and must have been well-prepared for this encounter. At that moment, Xue was not by his side, and Liu Qing was nowhere to be found. He had no magical power in this body; facing Xiao Yao Yu would lead to certain doom.
"Yao Guang, are you waiting for them to come? You don't need to wait for them to save you; at this point, they should be detained by my people," Xiao Yao Yu stated.
Yao Guang's heart sank at those words; Xiao Yao Yu had indeed covered all bases. Realizing that Xue and the others wouldn't arrive anytime soon, he knew that all he could do was buy time and hope that Xue would quickly realize something was wrong and come to rescue him. Despite feeling anxious inside, Yao Guang steadied himself and sat down as well.
"I'm curious why you've come here," Yao Guang posed a question, hoping that this conversation would keep Xiao Yao Yu engaged and buy him a little more time.
"I saw you yesterday, in the tree." Xiao Yao Yu looked at the woman before him, Yao Guang. When he first met her during that dinner, she appeared to be a mindless woman, her eyes only focused on Young Master Xue beside her. At that time, he was curious as to why Young Master Xue had a real wife by his side, but ultimately, it was someone else's business, and his curiosity didn't warrant further investigation. Later, when he heard that Xiao Yao Hao had brought Young Master Xue to Xiaoyao Pavilion, Xiao Yao Yu realized that Young Master Xue must possess some remarkable qualities unknown to him; otherwise, how could Xiao Yao Hao, with his character, bring a stranger who had been in the village for less than a month into the family's inner circle? Moreover, reports indicated that the two had been secretly discussing matters for quite some time inside the pavilion.
The main point was that he had also been in that courtyard. Following Xiao Yao Hao, he inadvertently entered that courtyard where Xiao Yao Hao heard Yao Guang's words—and so did he!
This woman could see ghosts! Xiao Yao Yu was certain of it. After Xiao Yao Hao left in a daze, he observed for quite a while, naturally seeing and hearing more than Xiao Yao Hao did. He probably hadn't misheard or misseen anything. Xiao Yao Yu squinted at Yao Guang.
"What do you mean you saw me in the tree...?" Yao Guang began to speak but suddenly fell silent. The tree—last night? Last night! She had been in the tree with Liu Qing; Xiao Yao Yu had seen them! Damn it, how much did he see? Although mortals couldn't see Liu Qing, they could hear her voice and movements. Last night, she seemed to have called Liu Qing's name many times. Seeing Xiao Yao Yu's knowing expression made Yao Guang realize that he must have witnessed everything—her actions and her voice.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Yao Guang feigned ignorance. This was something she could never admit; otherwise, it might affect Liu Qing and Xiao Yao Hao.
"Alright then, let's not beat around the bush. I know you can see things we can't, which makes me very curious about you. However, I don't think it's such a big deal; after all, in such a vast world, anything is possible," Xiao Yao Yu said nonchalantly upon hearing Yao Guang's denial. He had lost interest in her; besides, he realized there was something even more entertaining to pursue. He thought of the few people he had sent out—those useless ones probably wouldn't hold them off for long either. He couldn't waste any more time; dealing with Yao Guang was the most important thing now if he wanted to continue playing this game.
Upon hearing Xiao Yao Yu's words, Yao Guang felt a sense of dread; it seemed this Xiao Yao Yu was about to take action against her. While cautiously dealing with him, she searched for an opportunity to escape. She tried to distract Xiao Yao Yu with words; if she could manage that, she might find a chance to flee from this room. As long as she could get out of this room, there would be hope for her salvation.
"You're clever but still too naïve. You think I would act against you? You don't realize I've already taken action from the very beginning," Xiao Yao Yu said as he stood up and grasped Yao Guang's chin forcefully, lifting her head.
Yao Guang prepared to swat away Xiao Yao Yu's hand in disgust but was horrified to find that her arms wouldn't lift at all. She attempted to move her entire body but realized that while she could feel everything, she couldn't control any of it. Now, she could only submit to Xiao Yao Yu's control.
"What have you done to me?" The only part of her body that could still move was her tongue.
"From the very start—when I entered this place—my body was already coated with a powder that would gradually render you immobile. You've been alone with me for so long; how could it not take effect? Slowly, you'll lose all feeling throughout your body; you'll hear nothing and feel nothing until you slowly die in your dreams—a place filled with your deepest fears where you'll perish in terror. Hahaha," Xiao Yao Yu laughed wickedly at Yao Guang.
"You lunatic," Yao Guang angrily wanted to curse again, but her tongue was already losing sensation, and her consciousness began to blur; she could no longer see what Xiao Yao Yu looked like.
Yao Guang faintly heard Xiao Yao Yu's voice beside her. "Enjoy your dreams. I had no intention of killing you; in fact, I found you quite intriguing. But then I thought, it would be much more entertaining to kill you. Just look at how Liu Qing suffered after his death; Xiao Yao Hao was in so much pain. After you die, Young Master Xue should feel the same way. That expression of suffering is truly something to look forward to!"
This madman, was he twisted in his mind? Listening to Xiao Yao Yu's laughter, Yao Guang felt it was unbearably loud. She just wanted to sleep, to drift away into slumber. But she couldn't let herself do that; if she fell asleep now, she would lose her life! If she left this world again, there would be no chance for her. She would cease to exist here. But she hadn't even been with Xue yet; it was so frustrating, truly frustrating.
At that moment, Yao Guang could no longer resist the overwhelming drowsiness, and gradually, all sounds faded away.
"Yao Guang, Yao Guang, wake up." Was that Xue's voice? Yao Guang longed to open her eyes and see if the voice beside her was indeed Xue's, but she simply lacked the strength.
Finally, Yao Guang succumbed and fell into a sea of darkness.
