"Where am I?" Su Momo murmured to herself.
She only remembered getting stabbed by Yu Lei, and then she passed out. After that, she didn't know anything, completely losing consciousness.
The sword that was thrust at her was one she had seen in the weapon encyclopedia provided by the system; it was the Qingzheng Sword, specifically equipped for the Chief Demon Slayer. This was the number one sword for Exorcism!
It is said that any demon killed by this sword would surely have no place to be buried.
However, she actually woke up now, which is simply unbelievable.
It seems that this is also a plot that the system has planned in advance. The audience wouldn't like to watch it without some emotional torture.
I was just about to greet the system's parents, but as soon as she woke up, she heard the first sentence ringing in her ears.
"You, monster, finally woke up. It looks like the first stage is complete."
You monster... Only one person in the world calls her that.
Su Momo shuddered and jumped out of bed, ready to embrace that person.
He can still come to save him; it seems there is still some friendship left. At her desperate point, perhaps the favorability rating has been sufficiently raised.
Before she could embrace him, Su Momo saw an old man with a white beard sitting at the head of the bed. That was Chief Demon Slayer Yu Lei's master. She couldn't help but exclaim that the term "you monster" was actually learned by Yu Lei from his master.
The old man understood the disappointment in Su Momo's eyes and snorted at her.
Su Momo felt a bit speechless but still asked with a stiff upper lip, "Yu Lei, where is he?"
Sure enough, the old man exploded in anger as soon as he heard it, and said excitedly, "How dare you ask about this monster! Do you know how much my disciple has suffered for you! It's really a karmic fate, a karmic fate."
Su Momo was completely confused by the old man's words and had no idea what was going on.
But her heart was full of doubts, and there were too many questions to ask.
Why didn't she die? And what suffering did Yu Lei endure for her?
Last time in the dungeon, he suffered quite a bit; this time, who knows...
Su Momo deeply suspects that this Chief Demon Slayer is not only powerful in combat but also skilled in mind-reading.
He leisurely clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the bedside, then softly murmured, "In those years, my disciple's sword ultimately could not bear to strike down."
"Long before you attempted to assassinate the Goddess of Clarity on Water that night, something unusual appeared in my manor. The Qingzheng Sword, which was used to slay the Demon Lord, unexpectedly rusted overnight. At that moment, I understood that the demonic affliction within you was far from ordinary and was likely related to the cataclysmic disaster that occurred before Forever. Later, I learned that you were born on the edge of that miasma-filled cliff, essentially nurtured by the foul air."
"And your madness towards the goddess of clarity on water just confirms my speculation. demon lord was deeply in love with her, and he fell into darkness because of her, even starting a war just to possess her. Who would have thought that his last remaining bit of consciousness still longed to destroy with the goddess..."
"The impurity left by demon lord back then is a part of what gave birth to you," the old man said, looking into the distance as if recalling something, and also as if lamenting something.
Su Momo Quietly listening, but with indescribable feelings in the heart.
It turns out that the existence of Tao Bi is not accidental, but is related to that evil demon lord.
"Even if we directly eliminate you, the demon will find another host, so we have to first go to the contaminated land to lure out the demon lord's consciousness," the old man continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Su Momo began to understand their plan. It turned out that they wanted to lure out the demon lord's consciousness and then eliminate it. In this way, the demon would no longer be able to find a new host, and the three realms would be able to restore peace.
"Therefore, we ordered Lei'er to go to the prison to release you, then pretend to take you for purification, but actually it's just to remove the demonic obstacles from your body, and if necessary, we can kill you together."
The old man's words shook Su Momo to the core.
"But I don't know how! Lei'er I don't know how I fell for you, unwilling to kill you... unexpectedly... sigh."
The old friend sighed again, with a pained expression on his face.
"My disciple violated the will of the heavens and endured eighty-one strikes of heavenly thunder, losing both emotions and desires, as well as memories," the old man's voice grew heavy, as if each word carried a burden.
Su Momo listened to his words, feeling a surge of complex emotions within.
Originally, Yu Lei suffered such severe punishment because she violated the will of heaven. And perhaps all of this is because of her.
Su Momo: So that's the reason why he was so fickle with me before!
Su Momo listened to the old man's slow narration, and she was already sobbing beside him: "Then you killed me."
Maybe, in the end, the favorability rating will be maxed out!
The Chief Demon Slayer glanced at her and said, "You better give up this idea early and follow me to cultivate properly! Even if it takes forever to eliminate this demonic nature! You've suffered so much to exchange for your life... there's no way you can die!"
He stormed out of the room, his face flushed with anger, and cast a spell to lock the tower. "What is love in this world? It teaches people to live and die together."
These nine provinces and six seas, the countless things in the world, all come down to one word: love.
Just like the demon lord, who loves the goddess but cannot obtain her. In the end, he strays further and further, walking a path of no return.
And in the original text, Tao Bi deeply loves Yu Lei, but repeatedly causes him pain.
What is puzzling is, why didn't Yu Lei stab Tao Bi with that sword back then?
He clearly understands the close connection between Tao Bi and the demon lord, whether from the perspective of exorcism righteousness or from the deep love for the goddess... he should unhesitatingly slay her.
Perhaps only Yu Lei knows the reason behind this.
Perhaps deep down inside, there still lingers a trace of attachment to Tao Bi, or perhaps it's his helplessness and confusion towards fate.
The sword that was never drawn has become an eternal enigma of love, making the emotional entanglement between them increasingly complex and elusive.
At the same time, Su Momo is deeply troubled by a young man.
This young man is named Yu Lei, who used to be a spirited and energetic youth, but has now become cold and resolute.
The world changes like a brilliant firework, and the young man from before is no longer the same. He no longer acts recklessly as he did in the past, nor does he have the audacity to approach her and say, "Hey, you monster, you really like me, don't you?"
Yu Lei, as a Door God, fell in love with a being from the demon realm. Even at the final moment of striking her down, he hesitated and ultimately could not bring himself to do it.
As a result, the Heavenly Emperor ordered his master to strip him of his seven emotions and six desires, and to keep him forever guarding that door at the boundary, with a duration of a thousand Forever.
For Exorcist, he should have been ruthless and desireless.
However, fate arranged for such a peach blossom, accidentally leading to a broken marriage with him.
