Chapter 94 You Promise Me
Jing Mo ignored Yuan Heng's vigilance towards him, nor did he care about the blood on his hands staining his cheeks. He still enjoyed Jiang Yu's pain.
"For the sake of the people of the world..." He seemed to find it funny, and the arc of his mouth widened, "But what does the world have to do with you? For a group of strangers you don't know, who even gossip about you, are you going to sacrifice your relatives and friends who have been with you for so long? Or even give up your own life?"
He was waiting to see Jiang Yu make a fool of herself and would take pleasure in her fear and sorrow.
He placed a playful look on Yuan Heng. Jing Mo in the illusion did not know Yuan Heng. He just felt that if he killed this annoying guy who stood in front of Jiang Yu when she collapsed, perhaps he could make her fall into deeper despair.
When he was thinking about how to kill this ignorant boy in front of Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu suddenly chuckled.
Jing Mo and Yuan Heng were both stunned.
Jing Mo thought she had just seen the corpses of her relatives and friends, and she had gone crazy without him even having to say anything. After she calmed down, a strong look of disdain appeared on her face.
"Heh." He sneered, the mockery in his eyes was not concealed at all, "Are you qualified to be a savior?"
The expression on Yuan Heng's face was twisted due to his tense nerves, revealing some confusion and anger.
Jiang Yu's body seemed to be stiff. Under Jing Mo's disdainful gaze, she reached out to brush away the dust on Yun Ye's face, raised her eyes to look at Jing Mo, her eyes were clear, and even had a mocking smile. There was no pain and regret as he had expected.
Jing Mo frowned immediately.
Jiang Yu pulled the corner of his mouth again and revealed a sarcastic smile.
"If I hadn't realized that this was an illusion, I might have listened to what you said, over and over again, until I figured out a way to save their lives." She said this in a light tone, and Yuan Heng couldn't even tell what her mood was, or whether she was affected by Jing Mo's words.
"But..." He heard Jiang Yu speak again, "Five times."
She's had enough.
Jiang Yu thought that she never wanted to see her mother and Wei Xu die in front of her again. Even though she knew clearly that this was just an illusion of her mind, she still uncontrollably fell into the emotion of loss.
Jiang Yu glanced at Jiang Wan's face again, not knowing what he was thinking. He slowly stood up, walked to Yuan Heng's side, and looked directly into Jing Mo's gloomy eyes: "Since I dare to fight you, I have already prepared to lose something."
Jing Mo didn't understand the meaning of her first two sentences at all, until he said "fight with you", he sneered, slammed the table, and a huge pressure came over them. Jiang Yu and Wei Xu had to subconsciously grit their teeth and resist.
"The key to breaking the formation—" She called out Su Ning and tilted her head to Yuan Heng and said, "It doesn't mean I have to kill him."
"That's too difficult for me, isn't it?" She grinned, still in the mood to joke with him. She met Yuan Heng's complicated eyes and smiled at him, "Promise me that you won't tell anyone anything Jing Mo said."
Yuan Heng's mouth opened and closed. He didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He didn't know whether he should comfort Jiang Yu by saying "Don't be the savior" or "Don't listen to Jing Mo's nonsense. You are definitely qualified to be the savior."
After struggling for a while, his lips moved and after a long time he uttered: "...I promise you, I will get Jing Mo first--" He wanted to say that Jing Mo was still sitting on the stone bench opposite, staring at him covetously. They should solve his problem first, and then talk about the savior after they get out of the inner demon illusion.
But Jiang Yu interrupted him directly. She stared into his eyes, ignoring Jing Mo who was watching the show across from her, and stretched out her left little finger at an inopportune moment: "Promise."
Yuan Heng was a little stunned, but under her gaze, he lowered his head in a compromise, stretched out his little finger, hooked it with hers, and whispered: "I promise."
Jiang Yu's fingers were too cold, Yuan Heng thought.
The cold finger that was hooked around his finger moved, and Jiang Yu's voice rang out: "You have to promise that in my inner demon fantasy, no matter what you heard Jing Mo say, you can't tell anyone."
Yuan Heng raised his eyes and looked into her eyes full of persistence. Although he didn't understand why, he could only cooperate by moving his fingers and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yu touched his with her still cold thumb. She immediately smiled at him, let go of his hand, and rushed out with the sword in hand before he could react.
Yuan Heng hurriedly followed. Jing Mo had already put away the nonchalance on his face. The long sword in his hand, which exuded evil spirit, collided with Su Ning. Jiang Yu's eyes were firm, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was relaxed and bright: "You are familiar with all the fears in my heart. But so what?"
As she finished speaking, Yuan Heng's eyes went dark and the world was spinning. When he opened his eyes again, he was already looking at the entire Xuyun Mountain as a bystander.
Young Jiang Yu came out of the yard happily, holding up the hem of her skirt and running into the forest. Someone was deliberately slowing down to chase her. Jiang Yu's mother shouted the other person's name angrily from the top of the mountain - Yun Ye;
The slightly older Jiang Yu and Wei Xu climbed up the peach tree together, stretching out their arms to pick a plump peach, but was easily brought down by someone. Wei Xu, who was accompanying her, also came down from the tree in an orderly manner, and obediently called the other person "foster father";
Jiang Yu, who was not practicing well, cried because of the spiritual power that was out of her control. At the same time, she could not refuse the plums that the demon king fed to her to coax her. Then, she started to use her spiritual power again under the encouragement of Jiang Wan.
There was also Jiang Yu, who was in her twenties and was familiar to Yuan Heng. She went down Xuyun Mountain with Wei Xu, talking about her imagined future all the way, and was picked up by Ye Jin who was waiting at the foot of the mountain;
In the end, it was still Jiang Yu, who was in her twenties. She died under Jing Mo's sword, but Yuan Heng had no time to react. The space was torn apart, and it became Jing Mo who died under her sword again. Before his death, his eyes were still full of madness.
"So what if you kill me?!" He laughed while holding up his sword, "You are just a tool for Heaven to save the world! If I die, you must die too! You have used up the spiritual power of this world for three hundred years in vain!"
"Saving the world is just about killing me?!" he shouted, "You know better than anyone, killing me! Returning the world's spiritual power for three hundred years is what you call saving the world!"
Yuan Heng was shocked.
"Don't tell anyone!" Jiang Yu's voice suddenly rang in his ears, threatening him dryly, "You promised. If you don't keep your word, I will eat all of my more than 80 handkerchiefs!"
The next moment, the scene before my eyes completely collapsed.
When he opened his eyes again, he and Jiang Yu were standing on an unfamiliar street.
The place was bustling and prosperous, but Yuan Heng felt as if his mind was in a trance. He looked at Jiang Yu standing in front of him, and suddenly remembered the tears she shed when she came out of the dungeon in Lingdu.
