Tissue warning

~~~~~~

There was no sun or moon outside the window, so the passage of time was not known.

It was the same case even last time in the Qingming cave, but this time it was more chaotic and intense compared to last time, to the point that it was simply unbearable.

After being rubbed constantly by the vines, his skin was so sensitive that it was trembling. All the untouchable places were under the control of the vines and the stimulation was like tossing him in the rough stormy seas; the sensations constantly ebbing and flowing, making him forget the day and time.

If he were a mortal body, for sure he would have fainted a long time ago.

However, being in the realm of Crossing the Tribulations, first, his soul was very strong and would not easily lose consciousness and second, the body had the ability to recover on its own. These two factors allowed him to maintain his clarity and hence he was repeatedly tormented for a very long period of time.

Although the rapid breathing and panting was enough to show that he had already lost all decorum, he still bit his lower lip, trying not to make a sound.

The vine discontentedly brought itself to his mouth. He had no strength and he let it play with him as it wished. His throat choked due to the lump caused by the vine, and felt a little uncomfortable.

If it was before, he would have cried out again, but at this time, there was only a faint gleam of water before his eyes.

He was afraid that there was no fluid left in his body to flow out any more.

He was turned over by the vines and his position was changed. The vines had entangled him under the clothes, so the clothes still remained intact on his body and were not taken off. This material was as light as flowing clouds. At this time, he was soaked in thin sweat, and even he had no face to look at himself.

It was scary. It was a feeling that was too intense. He didn’t want to touch it, and he was afraid to touch it.

But after understanding Xiao Shao’s intention, although he was afraid, he still went with the flow.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t wait to sink himself into the world of mortals and lust. When Xiao Shao was satisfied, he would then perhaps listen to Lin Shu.

But he has been tricked to the point where he had walked back and forth between life and death, but he still had a clear mind — he saw Xiao Shao’s expression becoming colder and colder.

He was afraid it still wouldn’t work.

Finally, Xiao Shao got up and walked towards him.

The red candle in the wedding room was made from the oil refined from sharks, and it wouldn’t extinguish for years to come. He then saw a shadow of a man among the haze of the red candle smoke.

The figure was vaguely familiar, but how could he not recognize it?

Xiao Shao placed his finger on his right cheek.

The touch was cold, immediately letting him sober up a bit.

The fingertips wandered and moved to his ear, but the action was cold and mechanical, just like the ruthlessness in this man’s eyes.

Lin Shu looked at him as if he had gone back to the days when he was a hamster by his side.

At that time, he was terrified, always avoiding his owner and then he was caught back again. Now it is I who love you and I am willing to live peacefully with you, yet again, I am still left behind.

The faint gleam of water that was in his eyes turned into two lines of tears and suddenly he couldn’t stop the tears.

He thought to himself that even though he had been in this world for a while, had the cultivation realm of Crossing the Tribulations, he became the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, but his original nature was still that of a frightened hamster.

There was never such a thing as progress for his original self.

The two lines of tears that fell down sincerely, attracted Xiao Shao’s attention.

Xiao Shao’s fingertips touched him under the eyes, wiping away the tear stains.

Lin Shu struggled a bit and found that with Xiao Shao standing here, those spiritual vines did not bind him tightly anymore.

He could barely prop himself up on the bed with his arms as he sat up, but his body was so weak that he swayed and fell into Xiao Shao’s arms in front of him, and had to grab his clothes to stabilize him.

Lin Shu didn’t know how long he had been tortured by those vines. Now his whole body was soft and hot all over. When he touched Xiao Shao’s cold and strong body, his whole body tingled.

But he did not leave, he just leaned on Xiao Shao, took a few breaths, and grabbed his right arm with one hand, his face close to his neck.

As if a gesture of embracing, Xiao Shao symbolically hugged him back — putting his hand on his waist.

The vines moved slowly, and Lin Shu trembled slightly. The hand holding Xiao Shao’s right arm tightened more and more. Lin Shu couldn’t stop panting for breath. If this was a pair of lovers, it would be a beautiful scene.

However, Xiao Shao had no feelings or any deliberate intentions, Lin Shu also knew that it was pointless to go on like this.

Keeping the posture of leaning against Xiao Shao’s chest, his right hand flashed quickly, and a sharp weapon — that was one and half feet long, had a strange dark aura appeared in his hand.

In those years, he learned the secret manual of the Qingming Demon Lord 《Extinction》. According to the records, Ling Fengxiao had collected exotic treasures of the world and made three Extinction Needles. One was used in Northern Xia, and another was used when knocking at the gate of the Qingming cave. There was still one left, and it looked like it had to be used on Xiao Shao.

This piece of his body was so clean and pure that it couldn’t be soiled at all. The torture he endured on the bed was meaningless, and Lin Shu thought that he could no longer be controlled by Xiao Shao in this way.

Xiao Shao had absorbed the core of resentment so he was an Immortal now, but he still used his spiritual power to control the spiritual vines.

As it so happens, the Extinction Needle abolished the root of spiritual power and spiritual energy.

With this needle, there would be no more annoying vines entangling him.

The needle tip was aimed at Xiao Shao’s heart and gradually came closer.

Perhaps Xiao Shao did not notice and hence everything went quite smoothly.

And he took the Extinction Needle closer, but at the moment he was about to touch Xiao Shao’s chest, he stopped.

He was in a trance.

Would it hurt?

Xiao Shao was no longer human. Would it hurt if he lost his spiritual power as well?

Several thoughts flashed in an instant, even though he didn’t think about it, it was reflected in the action. There was indeed a pause at that moment.

This pause, he knew, could not be hidden from Xiao Shao.

He was like a small animal being watched by a natural predator. He slowly raised his head to look at Xiao Shao as he prepared for death.

When he saw Xiao Shao’s expression, he was stunned.

Xiao Shao was still like that. There was no joy or anger discernable from his expression.

He just lowered his eyes, slightly pursed his thin lips, and the candlelight reflecting on his eyelashes, casting a shadow.

He seemed to have broken Xiao Shao’s heart, Lin Shu suddenly thought.

Obviously seeing Lin Shu’s movements, he did not stop him, it was like silent indulgence.

The past suddenly came to his mind. He remembered something that Xiao Shao had once said.

He said that there were only two people in the world who could hurt him.

One of them was the Empress Mother, and the other... was self-evident.

Lin Shu could hurt him, not because he had superior strength, but because of emotions like — love and hate obsession that were tied too deep. If the other party insisted on hurting him, he could only suffer, there was nowhere to hide, and in fact, he did not want to hide.

And what he was doing at this time ...... was it also not the act of hurting him?

The Empress had hurt him very deeply, how could he.......

Xiao Shao didn’t hide or avoid the needle. Was there some clarity in his heart? Did he remember some of the past?

Lin Shu’s fingers, which were holding the Extinction Needle, trembled slightly. He closed his eyes, and thought to himself, Lin Shu was a totally hopeless person.

This needle, no matter what, could not continue to stab anymore.

He suddenly lost his strength, and almost couldn’t even hold the Extinction Needle.

He slowly lowered his hand.

The vines that had been stationary began to slowly move again.

And he stared at the Extinction Needle in his hand, then as if in a trance, raised it up and brought it in front of his eyes.

Thinking he was a failure — because of the love and pity in his heart, he did not succeed in stabbing the little Phoenix at the final moment.

He did not have the strength to hurt Xiao Shao after all.

The vines all over his body intensified their movements, and his body’s reaction was uncontrollable. He was utterly defeated so much so that he totally collapsed, gasping and sobbing. His voice had become hoarse. In the endless sea of desire, his mind was still very clear.

Suddenly, he laughed idiotically.

The action was slow, but there was no doubt about it.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Shao.

Xiao Shao also looked back at him, seemingly stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he suddenly exerted his strength and pierced the Extinction Needle into his heart!

His mind thundered in a flash, and he realized how similar this scene was to the one in the mirror.

As it turned out, in the unseen world of spirits, fate was inevitable as expected?

There was nothingness in Extinction.

With this needle, the previous cultivation realm, spiritual power and Taoism, all dissipated.

In his previous life, he woke up with the rooster’s cry in the morning, he rested at midnight, learned about heaven and earth in the morning, felt theYin and Yang at night, and repeated the cycle day after day. Water drops wear through the stone gradually, and sand gathers to form a tower. Achieving an unparalleled level of cultivation, in an unparalleled realm, were they all really important?

Very important.

But it didn’t seem to be that important anymore.

Far from the world of mortals, near the world of mortals, out of the world of mortals, into the world of mortals, ancestors taught, teachers and friends advised, chattering.

The Mental Skills of Sword Pavilion, the refined sword moves and Heartless Dao of the Sword Pavilion; if one thought clearly about it, were actually all useless.

Borrowing the power of the Extinction Needle, he destroyed his own meridians, abolished his own cultivation, and abandoned his own Taoist heart. Blood flowed from his chest, but there was no pain, just something faded away in his body, and then disappeared without a trace.

The scent of ice and snow and the scent of winter plums, suddenly assaulted his nostrils.

The past events, greed, ignorance, anger and resentment suddenly surfaced in his heart.

On a moonlit night, he walked on the snow and looked for plum blossoms. In the dimly lit place, and in the shadows, he finally found that one branch.

He stretched out his hand and climbed on Xiao Shao’s shoulder, then held his face and raised his lips up.

The aftermath from the vines was still there. His clothes had already slipped halfway, revealing half of his shoulders and back. In the past, during one of their passionate lovemaking, he was half coaxed and half forced to hold him in front of the bronze mirror by Xiao Shao, so he could imagine what kind of appearance and posture he was now currently making and what kind of things he was doing.

Being crazy in love, it was intentional chaos first and then falling in love.

If you want to be confused, then you must also be moved by the heart.

Today’s Lin Shu, who was in love with Xiao Shao, his heart would be moved and his mind would be confused. Confused, infatuated and lost in love and then fall into the world of mortals and become one with this troubled and dirty world.

Xiao Shao seemed to be at loss. In his empty and indifferent eyes, he seemed to be confused.

Lin Shu touched his eyes with his fingertips and looked at the empty gaze that couldn’t remember anything. For a moment, he felt that Xiao Shao was cute and someone who was very coaxable, so he laughed. After laughing, there was pain and soreness in his heart that couldn’t be restrained, and tears fell down.

With tears in his eyes, his vision was blurry. In the blurred vision, he smiled as he saw the red candle flickering at the head of the bed and the moth fighting alone with the flame of the candle.

His body was empty, his meridians were so beautifully broken that they couldn’t be put together anymore, and there was no trace of spiritual power left in his body. He thought, he had reincarnated in this world, inquired about the Great Dao, and cultivated for more than 20 years, after several ups and downs, and finally, he cultivated into a mortal body.

The vulgar language of the villagers said that if you often walk by the river, it was reasonable to have wet shoes. He fell down just like this in the vast world of mortals.

But he also admitted defeat, and fell for it.

“Aren’t you awake?” He pressed his forehead against Xiao Shao’s, and said in a low voice, “I ... came back to play with you. And you still... still.. do not awake?”
