CH 82

TL: Moonlit

Hearing Yin Shao’s words, Bai Yu suddenly froze.

He felt a buzzing sound in his head.

It seemed that what he guessed that day was all correct.

If he directly told the person in front of him that he didn’t have the crimson fruit at all, that he had already eaten it and fused it with his inner core, it was likely that Yin Shao would kill him without hesitation and take his inner core.

Bai Yu’s eyes stared fixedly at Yin Shao, his originally dark red rabbit eyes now even redder.

In his eyes, there was an indescribable sense of loss.

There seemed to be tears swirling in his eyes, but they didn’t fall. Instead, there was a strong sense of irony.

His delicate little nose turned slightly red due to this emotion.

He held onto Yin Shao’s arm and didn’t let go, refusing to let go.

No matter what, he wouldn’t let Yin Shao kill Chi Xun.

Since Yin Shao had already said such words, what else was there to say?

Bai Yu’s expression carried an indescribable stubbornness.

It was as if he was saying, “You want to kill him, right? Well, you’ll have to kill me first.”

Yin Shao looked at Bai Yu in this state, and he was momentarily stunned.

The anger in his heart had dissipated the moment he saw the tears welling up in Bai Yu’s eyes.

In fact, he regretted his words as soon as he finished saying them.

Although he truly hated demons.

And he had vowed since he was young that he would kill any demon he encountered.

But if it was the little rabbit demon in front of him.

Would he really be able to kill him?

Just thinking about this possibility, Yin Shao’s heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, causing intense pain.

Not to mention the agreement between the two of them, the more important point was that they were already husband and wife.

Although he couldn’t marry a demon as his wife.

But this little demon was different to him…

He just didn’t understand yet what this difference really meant.

He only knew that because of this difference, he couldn’t kill Bai Yu.

Yin Shao still remembered how Bai Yu had jumped down from the tree and landed on him, calling him “husband”.

That scene was so beautiful, so beautiful.

And the person in front of him was so cute, so sweet…

Not to mention killing him.

At this moment, seeing the look of almost crying on Bai Yu’s face, he wished he could hold him in his arms and comfort him.

It seemed like he had said something too harsh just now…

But it was provoked by Bai Yu.

That snake demon was so hateful, he wanted to take Bai Yu back and take him away!

This kind of realization was driving Yin Shao crazy.

But Bai Yu still wanted to protect him.

Yin Shao clenched his teeth, his eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t know what to make of his own behavior.

His mind was starting to feel uneasy, which had never happened before.

However, as his mind became uneasy, the rope in his hand also loosened slightly…

Chi Xun had just been scared to death, and he almost became a lost soul under the sword.

The moment he saw the loosened binding rope, he didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately transformed into a small snake and quickly fled.

His speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, Chi Xun had already disappeared.

Yin Shao looked at the empty binding rope in his hand, then glanced at Bai Yu.

He mockingly said, “You see, the person you wanted to protect just left you behind, didn’t he? What’s the point of risking your life to protect him?”

Yin Shao wanted to tell Bai Yu that the big snake’s sweet words didn’t mean anything.

When danger appeared, was his first reaction to abandon you and run away?

This snake was simply unreliable and would never be a suitable partner for him. It would be better to kill that idea right away.

However, Bai Yu didn’t respond to Yin Shao at all.

Instead, he let go of Yin Shao’s arm, held the small basket in his hand, and silently walked towards the direction of the house.

[Ding, target character’s favorability +30, current favorability -110%]

Xiao Mihu promptly stepped in to mediate.

[Host, although the villain just spoke harshly, his favorability indeed increased significantly, and even by a large amount…]

Bai Yu sneered, “Oh, it’s still negative. Not just negative, but negative by more than a hundred.”

This kind of favorability felt like it was mocking him.

Why did I take such an audacious gamble?

Will this person really fall in love with me?

Bai Yu had never felt so disheartened before.

He lowered his head and walked slowly, but suddenly he felt a hand forcefully grabbing him, gripping tightly.

The villain’s hand still felt warm, and in this slightly chilly early spring, to have such a pair of warm hands holding his own was truly a very happy thing.

But…

At this moment, he couldn’t feel any warmth at all.

Yin Shao’s words from earlier were still vivid in his mind.

If it weren’t for the agreement they had long ago, he wouldn’t have let him go.

Not to mention his hand, even his heart felt cold.

“Bai Yu, I…” Yin Shao’s face was filled with conflict.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Bai Yu interrupted him.

“Don’t say it, I know. Humans and demons have different paths. It was just my foolish wish. Please let go of me, I need to go rest… I woke up a little too early this morning. I want to go back to sleep for a while.”

Saying that, Bai Yu broke free from Yin Shao’s grip and hurriedly ran ahead.

Leaving Yin Shao alone, feeling vexed and confused.

Although Yin Shao and Bai Yu hadn’t known each other for long, in his eyes, this little bunny spirit had always been lively, cute, and very attached to him.

He thought that even if he drove him away, he wouldn’t leave.

But he never expected that Bai Yu’s thoughts were so delicate…

Yin Shao stood there, watching Bai Yu’s figure, until that figure disappeared completely.

Yin Shao slowly closed his eyes and leaned against a tree.

Even he couldn’t believe it.

Why would this rabbit spirit, whom he had only known for two days, affect his state of mind like this?

Making him so restless.

—

“Xiao Mihu, why is it that only I feel sad?”

Bai Yu lay on the bed, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, completely motionless.

When he first started doing missions, he was very simple-minded about it.

He could pretend, he could act. He could do as he pleased.

But later on, damn it, he ended up getting entangled in it.

He fell in love with the villain, so he started to restrain himself, no longer as carefree as before when it came to missions.

He would feel heartache, he would feel distressed…

That damn idiot, no matter how much he loved him in the previous world.

But in the next world, he still forgot about him…

His initial favorability was even decreasing!

It was really difficult…

In the entire quick transmigration world, he was the only one carrying memories…

Wasn’t that too unfair?

[“Maybe it’s because the host owes the villain…”] Xiao Mihu spoke hesitantly, as there were some things he knew but couldn’t say.

Bai Yu’s eyebrows furrowed instantly. He had asked Xiao Mihu many times before, but Xiao Mihu refused to say a word. Maybe today, sensing his sadness, he accidentally let something slip.

Bai Yu’s emotions became somewhat agitated.

“Then tell me, what exactly do I owe him?”

However, Xiao Mihu knew that he had already revealed too much. He didn’t dare to say anything more.

[“After the host recovers his memories, he will naturally know.”]

Bai Yu felt somewhat frustrated, not again with this line!

He tossed and turned on the bed, thinking that he wouldn’t be able to sleep, but soon he drifted off into dreams.

The scenes in the dream were chaotic, one after another…

That was his villain…

He was standing in front of Bai Yu, dressed in black clothes, looking at him with a pained expression.

“Bai Yu, why are you so indifferent to me? Why can’t you see that I love you? I absolutely refuse to divorce you, I won’t let you leave me.”

“I’m sorry, you should have known on the day you married me that I have a natural lack of emotions. I don’t know what love is. Now I feel that our marriage is hindering my cultivation. I don’t have so much time or energy to deal with you. So let’s part ways peacefully…”

Bai Yu didn’t know why his dream self would say such words, but he knew that he appeared cold, and even the words he spoke were cold.

And the villain, upon hearing him speak those words, was clearly in immense pain.

Right in front of him, he forcefully tore the divorce letter into pieces.

The villain’s eyes turned bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and his whole face looked exceptionally fierce.

Seeing him like this made Bai Yu’s heart ache. But in the dream, it was as if he hadn’t seen anything, he just turned around and walked away.

His hand was held.

The man’s voice was filled with pleading, his whole demeanor was incredibly submissive.

“Bai Yu, don’t leave me! I promise I’ll do whatever you ask of me. I beg you!”

But Bai Yu remained as cold as ever. “I’m sorry, let’s part ways here. Even if you tear up that divorce letter, it doesn’t matter. I’ll have someone bring a new one tomorrow.”

Bai Yu just stared blankly at this scene, his heart in intense pain.

Although he couldn’t remember what happened afterward.

But suddenly, a thought came to him. This should be the thing he would regret the most in his life.

The scene changed.

It was the same scene he had seen countless times before…

A ball of light attacked him, and the villain appeared out of nowhere, embracing him.

All the attacks struck that person instead.

Bai Yu saw him shattering right in front of his eyes. Not just his body, but his soul, everything slowly peeled away and disappeared.

And then that person seemed to say something to him?

His finger still pointing at his own head.

He saw himself looking at all of this in agony. Then he shouted, “No!”

Everything returned to calm, and then everything was gone…

Tears flowed uncontrollably, even in his dreams, Bai Yu was crying uncontrollably, gasping for breath.

He didn’t know what had happened to him. But he could feel his state of mind at that time.

His heart felt as if it was tearing apart, the pain was unbearable.

—

Yin Shao stood in front of him, completely flustered.

He had never seen Bai Yu cry like this before.

Yin Shao immediately regretted not apologizing to Bai Yu earlier. He shouldn’t have let his pride get in the way and watched him suffer.

“Bai Yu, Bai Yu!”

Yin Shao gently shook Bai Yu, trying to wake him up from his dream. He wondered what kind of nightmare Bai Yu had that made him cry like this.

Bai Yu opened his eyes and saw Yin Shao looking at him with concern.

The person in front of him and the person in his dream instantly overlapped, and Bai Yu hugged him tightly. He urgently said, “Don’t go, don’t leave me…”

Yin Shao’s heart clenched.

He didn’t expect Bai Yu to wake up and say such words to him.

Yin Shao didn’t even have time to think, he simply hugged Bai Yu tightly.

He didn’t know why this was happening.

Seeing the person in front of him with such a sorrowful expression, his own heart couldn’t help but ache.

He held Bai Yu tightly.

He wanted to answer him immediately, that he wouldn’t leave him.

But when the words reached his lips, he didn’t say them.

Yin Shao furrowed his brow.

Because his reason told him that it was just an agreement.

The junior brother in the sect was still waiting for him.

Regardless of the situation, a month later, he would still leave…

TL’s note: Deja vu? Is it just me or the chapter is a repeat? Or maybe I read this arc too many times that every chapter feels like a repeat to me every time  I translate ._.
