Drip, drip…
In the narrow and wet well, countless water droplets seeped out from the walls around them. They flowed to the ground at a certain frequency like clockwork.
Su Yuhan, who was sleeping soundly, felt a scorching breath on her face.
It was hot and itchy.
Her eyebrows trembled slightly as she slowly woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she felt like her head was heavy, and there was a sharp pain in her head. It was as if she had fallen ill. Her body was incredibly weak, and she could not muster any strength.
It felt like a long dream, but it was a nightmare.
When she finally regained her consciousness, she vaguely recalled the memories of being kidnapped by the Ghost Witch Cult before she fainted.
She shuddered and was about to get up.
“You’re awake?”
An extremely gentle voice came from the side.
Su Yuhan looked over immediately and saw a familiar face. It was the face that was the biggest shadow in her dream.
She could not help but stand up in surprise, “Xiaochen?”
Ye Chen lifted the hair on her forehead and said softly, “How are you feeling?”
“Why are you here? Also, where am I?”
Su Yuhan looked around subconsciously and realized that she was lying in a red coffin.
She sat up in fear and threw herself into Ye Chen’s embrace. She said while shivering, “W-what’s this?”
“It’s just a coffin, it’s fine!”
Ye Chen patted her shoulder lightly and said between laughter and tears, “Do you really not remember anything?”
Su Yuhan was slightly stunned when she heard that. She covered her forehead with her hand as if she was deep in thought. She frowned and said after a while, “I think I had a very long dream.”
“What did you dream about?” Ye Chen asked while smiling.
Su Yuhan bit her lips and said in shock, “I dreamed that I seemed to have turned into a sphere of light. I was looking for you everywhere in a dark place. That place was huge. I couldn’t find you. Later on, a ball of black gleam kept chasing me.”
As she said that, she grabbed Ye Chen’s hand subconsciously. Her body started trembling lightly. Clearly, the experience in the dream had given her quite a shock.
“And then?” Ye Chen grabbed her hand tightly.
“Then…”
Su Yuhan took a deep breath in and tried her best to calm herself down. She said slowly, “I don’t know why that black gleam couldn’t move anymore. I felt that it was very warm on its side. I walked over uncontrollably. Then I-I ate it.”
There was a strange expression on her face.
Ye Chen chuckled and comforted her, “It was just a dream. Don’t scare yourself.”
In reality, he had already arrived when the Hell Demon’s primordial spirit entered Su Yuhan’s sea of consciousness. However, he did not enter Su Yuhan’s sea of consciousness rashly to fight with the Hell Demon. Instead, he chose to wait and see.
After all, the sea of consciousness was where a person’s consciousness lived. If he entered Su Yuhan’s sea of consciousness without permission and clashed with the Hell Demon’s primordial spirit, Su Yuhan would be the one who would be hurt.
However, the ending surprised him, but at the same time, he was not surprised.
Just when the Hell Demon was about to devour Su Yuhan’s primordial spirit, Ye Chen suppressed the Hell Demon’s primordial spirit with the Heavenly Emperor’s blood essence in Su Yuhan’s body without hesitation.
Never in his wildest dreams had the Hell Demon imagined that he would end up like this.
“No!”
Su Yuhan suddenly shook her head and looked at him seriously, “It’s not a dream. You must be hiding something from me because I feel there are many things in my mind. They’re like memories…”
She covered her forehead with her hand, as if trying her best to recall. She mumbled to herself, “Longevity Heaven, Ghost Spirit Cult, Heavenly Lady Moon Tactic…”
Ye Chen looked at her quietly at the side. He did not say a word because he knew that Su Yuhan would naturally accept the Hell Demon’s memories after devouring his soul.
“Xiaochen…”
Su Yuhan looked up and gritted her teeth, “I know everything now. Did a spirit cultivator named Hell Demon want to possess me earlier? Did you fight him?”
“I guess, but it’s all over now.”
Ye Chen could only agree since he could not hide it any longer.
Who would have thought that Su Yuhan would hit his chest hard? She looked at him angrily with reddened eyes, “Xiaochen, in the future… Can you not hide anything from me?
I-I know you’re worried about me, afraid that you’d make me worry.”
Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, “B-But do you know that you make me worry even more when you’re hiding everything from me? I don’t know anything, that makes me worry even more.”
Through the Hell Demons’ memories, she truly knew the wonders of this vast universe. She knew that there was a Longevity Heaven realm out of earth and that there was cultivation. Naturally, she thought of Ye Chen.
She knew that cultivation was truly dangerous. She also knew that in this world, the powerful ones were respected. It was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. She also knew that Ye Chen had a tough journey.
Ye Chen reached out to wipe the tears on her face and hugged her tightly, “Alright, I promise that I won’t hide anything from you in the future!”
The couple looked at each other and their lips were getting closer.
At that moment, a concerned voice came from above the ancient well, “Sister-in-law, how are you doing down there? Where are you?”
Su Yuhan left his embrace as if she had done something wrong. She said with a blushing face, “Let’s go, let’s leave this place. Wenwen must be worried sick up there.”
“Alright!”
Ye Chen held her slender waist with one hand and leaped while carrying her. He leaped out of the well that was a couple of meters deep.
“Sister-in-law…”
The moment Su Yuhan landed, Ye Wen welcomed her excitedly. The two women hugged each other on the spot. One was crying while the other was consoling.
“Sister-in-law… I thought I would never see you again.
It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…”
“…”
After Ye Chen led the few of them back to the Ghost Witch Cult’s ancestral court square, Su Yuhan looked at Ye Chen guiltily when she saw that it was a mess.
Hundreds of surviving Ghost Witch Cult disciples knelt on the square while trembling in fear as if they were waiting for Ye Chen to declare the death sentence.
The Ghost Witch Cult was almost destroyed by Ye Chen this time. More than half of its disciples were killed. As the cult master of the Ghost Witch Cult died, the cult lost its pillar of support.
Two figures squirmed on the ground.
Who else could they be but Guardian Bai and Guardian Hei?
Ye Chen walked over slowly and looked at the two of them with a grim expression, “I just want to know how the Ghost Witch Cult knew that my woman has the mysterious yin body.”
Before this, he had never offended the Ghost Witch Cult. In fact, he did not even know them. He was the only one who knew the secret that Su Yuhan possessed the mysterious yin body.
He could not figure out how the Ghost Witch Cult knew about it.
