Chapter 187 He's a Madman
When Lu He woke up again, she found herself tied up in a place that looked like a boudoir.
Looking around, the treasures here are dazzling. Jianjian, who has fainted, is tied up next to her. Looking at the mahogany carved bed inside, there seems to be someone lying there. Judging from the clothes and appearance, it looks like Zhiyan.
The bed was partially covered by a curtain, creating a slightly chilly atmosphere.
Qingyu doesn't seem to be here right now. Lu He frowned: Did she bring me in and then leave again?
Golden water stains were scattered around Illusion Moon Lake. Qingyu wiped the golden liquid off her fingernails, her expression indifferent.
This golden liquid is actually the blood of the Fire Feather Spirit Bird. Qingyu just returned because she wanted to kill Yunyi.
The poor, foolish bird was still hoping her lover would change his mind.
Fortunately, the spirit bird was also an ancient beast and not so easy to kill. Yunyi escaped despite her serious injuries.
It seems we can't stay at Illusion Moon Lake any longer, otherwise this spirit bird will definitely not give up and will send someone else to seek revenge.
With that thought in mind, Qingyu turned around and returned to the lake, back to the bottom of the lake.
As soon as I got back, I saw Lu He struggling to break free of the demonic energy lock on her body.
"Don't waste your energy, the gap between us is too big." Qingyu didn't know what expression to make when facing Lu He. "We've been separated for who knows how long...maybe hundreds of years..."
“For me, it’s been ten years.” Lu He stared directly into Qing Yu’s eyes with a cold and resentful gaze.
"How long have you been in this other world?" Qingyu asked.
“Less than two years.” Lu He was telling the truth; the previous two volumes of the comic each lasted for almost a year.
"Time here is different from the outside world, you should know that, right?" Qingyu's tone and eyes were no longer like Shen Yutong's.
"I know, the ten years I'm talking about are the ten years I spent in my original world."
Qingyu shook her head: "What I mean is... I've lived in these paintings for hundreds of years. Shen Yutong is gone, do you understand?"
With a calm tone, indifferent eyes, and a completely different demeanor, how could Lu He not sense it?
"I have no illusions about you," Lu He replied coldly.
"Xiao He, why lie to yourself? Didn't you come here after me?" She really knows how to flatter herself.
People really laugh when they are speechless.
"Don't be so self-satisfied. My arrival in the comic book world was an accident, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Actually, meeting you was the first time I experienced another world, and I was truly sincere towards you back then..." Qingyu began to talk to herself: "After completing the mission, I was suddenly teleported away, and I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to you."
"Shen Yutong, what do you want to do? What are you trying to achieve by telling me all this now? Rekindle your past romance? Ha, don't be ridiculous." Lu He scoffed, finding it hard to believe that the person she once loved so deeply had become like this.
“Xiao He, people change, especially after hundreds of years. What haven’t they seen… We definitely can’t go back to the past…”
"No, wait a minute," Lu He was really angry: "Big sister, no one here wants to go back to the past with you, please get this straight!"
“You must be angry with me, Xiao He. Actually, here…” She still felt that Lu He had come for her.
"Don't call me Xiao He anymore!" All the past illusions about her have been shattered, and Lu He now clearly understands how awful the woman in front of her is.
"Call me by my character name, Qinwu. I also know you're not Tongtong anymore, you're Qingyu. That's it, you do your quest, I'll do mine, and we won't bother each other!"
"You still remember calling me Tongtong, that's what you used to call me." Qingyu visibly cheered.
Lu He really wanted to slap herself for slipping out of habit. She was so stubborn and had developed muscle memory for something she shouldn't have.
"Let me leave. My mission is to return to Spirit Beast Mountain." Lu He didn't want to get entangled with her anymore. This time, seeing her was just to fulfill a wish: to confirm that Shen Yutong had always been a time traveler.
She wanted to figure out how the girl who said she loved her back then could suddenly act like she didn't know her anymore and marry someone else.
Now that the knot in my heart has been untied, my feelings for Shen Yutong are dead, and I no longer want to have anything to do with this person.
We can't stand each other for even a second.
"Are you just leaving like this?" Qingyu seemed a little unwilling: "Why don't you stay and we complete the mission together? It's not easy to see an old friend, don't you want to catch up?"
"No!" she said firmly.
"You're a time traveler now too, you should understand my helplessness! Haven't you ever used anyone for your own mission? Do you dare say you've been fair to everyone?" She was clearly on the verge of losing her guard, and a series of questions pressed down on Lu He's face.
"Yes! But only that one time! I will never use such methods again! I am not like you!" Lu He clenched his fists as Xia Lan's image appeared in his mind.
“You keep using this trick on others, even knowing they all have real feelings and pain!” The words were almost shouted.
"...At least I would feel guilty...but you think it's perfectly normal..." That's what I despise most about you. Lu He looked at you like you were a stranger.
It deeply stung Qingyu.
"What's the use of guilt?" How naive and ignorant. Qingyu also revealed a contemptuous smile: "I also felt guilty towards you back then, but so what? I had no way to go back to your side... You should understand, right? When you travel through these worlds, you never know which meeting will be the last."
"You and I are no different. It's just that you haven't experienced enough. Once you've traveled through dozens of worlds like me, you'll become just as numb. You won't be an exception, believe me, hahahaha."
Qingyu pointed at Lu He as if she were watching a huge joke.
"Xiao He, it's perfectly normal to fall in love with different people over such a long period of time, isn't it?" she tried to salvage the situation.
"Don't you know whether you love her or are just playing with her?" Lu He's cold and even disgusted gaze was like a sharp blade piercing Qingyu's chest, shattering all her lies.
"Don't keep lying until you start believing it yourself!"
Who was the joke really? Lu He smiled but remained silent.
Having exposed the wounds and punctured the bubble of lies, Qingyu finally lost her temper and snapped her fingers.
The demon lock binding Lu He tightened suddenly with this force, constricting her body and pulling her up, causing her to lean slightly backward.
Qingyu approached, stood in front of her, and reached out to grab her hair: "Is this position humiliating?"
Lu He was in excruciating pain from being strangled, and overwhelmed with shame and indignation: "You really are a scumbag, you don't deserve the beautiful girl in my memories. You are not her, she is dead!"
These words enraged Qingyu even more. She didn't know why she was so angry that she lost her composure, but she just couldn't help wanting Lu He to submit.
Releasing her grip, she pinched Lu He's face: "Fine! Then you'll watch me kill them!" As she spoke, she pointed at Jian Jian, who was unconscious on the ground, and Zhi Yan, who was lying on the bed: "I'll let you watch with your own eyes how I have fun with your friend, how I sever her nine tails, and cripple her!"
As he spoke, he walked over, grabbed Zhiyan by the collar, threw her to the ground, and tossed her in front of Lu He.
Seeing Zhiyan's blank stare, like a soulless shell, Lu He finally understood why she had failed to wake her up earlier.
Qingyu turned Zhiyan over so that her back was to her, then pressed down on her waist while facing Lu He directly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I want her to grow nine tails, and then I'll cut them off. For a fox, cutting off its tail is an excruciating pain. You can watch me torture her, but you won't be able to stop me!"
With a forceful pull on Zhiyan's waist, a domineering phoenix demonic power, carrying the pure spiritual energy of the fire fox clan, poured into Zhiyan's body.
Zhiyan's body seemed to tremble as if she had suddenly endured a tremendous force. Although her eyes were lifeless, her expression was one of great pain.
Forcibly instilling such powerful demonic energy could potentially kill her.
"You're completely forcing things to grow stronger. She simply can't withstand such a massive and concentrated demonic power. If she dies, all your efforts will be in vain."
Seeing that Qingyu had gone completely mad and was unrecognizable, and that Zhiyan's meridians had been severely damaged, Lu He was truly anxious.
