Chapter 1184 - 1184 1170 Cursing Awake

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1170: Cursing Awake Chapter 1184: Chapter 1170: Cursing Awake He felt like an old man, guarding a large yard all alone with no interests, and he realized that he didn’t enjoy solitude; it would be better to find someone to chat and drink with.

Having stayed in the yard on Immortal Medicine Island for six or seven days already, he would go mad if it continued like this. No matter what, he had to go out for a walk tonight.

He thought of the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit. Right, why hadn’t those two come to see him? Had they really found partners and forgotten about him? Otherwise, why would this happen?

He had heard quite a few rumors that the two had changed their names. They changed their names without even telling him, and he was kept in the dark. It seemed they had truly forgotten about him.

Alas, what could he do? It was self-inflicted, and that’s just reality. Who couldn’t live without whom? Loneliness was the only constant.

Li Mo came in with food.

At last, someone brought him food, or else he would have thought he was the only one in the yard.

“I can’t believe Nangong Yao would send you to deliver my food. Why is he so cruel? Not even sending a maid, as if he’s afraid I’d take liberties with his maids. Do I really look that much of a scoundrel?” Ye Chen grumbled.

Li Mo laughed, opened the basket, revealing roast duck, sweet and sour carp, chicken stewed with mushrooms, meatball tofu soup, some mustard greens, and a bowl of white rice. It was a very nourishing meal indeed.

“Nangong Yan said she’s worried it would distract your attention. If you get enthralled by feminine charms, it could harm you. So, it’s best not to be around women for a while.”

Ye Chen sniffled and said, “I knew it was that wily girl’s idea. Only her petty mind could come up with such a thing. I’m fed up with her. And to forbid me from seeing women, then how come she always comes over herself?”

Li Mo giggled and said, “But this period is indeed crucial; you really do need to focus.”

“Don’t I know whether I need to concentrate?” Ye Chen started eating. The food was indeed delicious, incomparable to what the inns offered. It seemed to be made with care. The dishes weren’t many and the names were homely, yet they made one’s mouth water, leaving him stuffed after every meal.

“How’s your research going?” Li Mo wanted to know his progress; the faster Ye Chen could defeat Qiandu Xiang, the sooner they could destroy the ring. The letter had been sent back, lessening the entanglement, but the destruction of the ring seemed indefinitely delayed.

“Such tasks are never easy. Now I know why Nangong Yao doesn’t research it himself. It’s brain-draining work. Instead of spending time with a lady chatting, I thought it was something good. I must be too dumb.” As Ye Chen ate, he complained, “No, I have to go out for a walk tonight no matter what.”

“Then I’ll tell Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue.”

“Are you stupid? If you tell them, I won’t be able to go drink at the flower houses.”

“You want to go to the flower houses?”

“Of course, I’ve never had flower wine in my life. Who knows when I’ll pass away? If I leave like this, wouldn’t it be too regrettable? I can’t leave regrets; I need to let myself go.”

Li Mo looked at Ye Chen and felt he became as frivolous as he used to be.

“Don’t secretly tell them, or I’ll stop trusting you in the future. After dinner, get me the handsomest outfit—you too should seek freedom.”

“Alright, you are my Sect Leader; how could I refuse?”

Suddenly, Ye Chen grew serious and asked, “You definitely wrote to Guo Yuqing again, didn’t you?”

Li Mo didn’t speak, clearly confirming by his silence.

Ye Chen nodded and said, “That’s fine then. Let her give up; it’s better than being ambiguous and making everyone suffer.” Despite his words, he couldn’t help but hope for a positive turn of events, yet there was nothing he could do.

Li Mo sat down next to him.

“Join me for the meal,” he said, breaking off a roast chicken leg and handing it to him.

“Don’t you want to know how Guo Yuyun is doing?” Li Mo took the chicken leg.

“What happened to her?”

Seizing the opportunity, Li Mo said, “She met a boy named Song Xizhi, the son of Song Zheng’an, the Sect Leader of the Nine Leaves Sect. He saved Guo Yuyun’s life. After learning of your death, Guo Yuyun tried to drown her sorrows in alcohol and almost got assaulted. Song Xizhi saved her. He was smitten with Guo Yuyun from first sight and has been pursuing her ever since.”

Ye Chen merely grunted and said, “That’s good. I’ve met the guy. He’s honest and handsome too. Very good.” But inwardly, he didn’t feel that way at all.

Li Mo, knowing he was lying, said, “Do you really think so?”

“Of course. His family background is good too, and he’s more sedate than I am. He’s made for the domestic life.” Ye Chen quickly changed the subject and asked, “How are those two getting along? Are they talking marriage yet?” He pretended not to care, as he had his own issues to deal with.

Li Mo replied, “Apart from Guo Yuqing, everyone thinks you’re dead. Guo Yuyun’s mother is pressuring her to meet suitors. Having no choice, she invited Song Xizhi over as a shield and is trying to accept him.”

“Good, now I can rest easy.”

“You’re relieved?”

Munching on the chicken leg, Ye Chen said, “Certainly. It shows that my decision was right. If she can find someone good for her, of course I’m happy. I can’t give her the happiness she wants.”

“But nobody knows your actual situation.”

“Yes, the fact that she was able to move on and start a new life is something to be happy about.” He seemed to have resigned himself to the situation.

“What if you get better in the future?” Li Mo asked in return.

“I should just live life properly, what else can I do? It’s still uncertain whether I can really get better.”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“What sarcasm? I’m speaking human words, realistic words.”

“I know she’s still in your heart, you just won’t admit it. You’re unhappy that she found someone else so quickly.”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, “Nonsense, why wouldn’t I be happy? I’m very happy.” He was obviously getting angry.

“You can’t blame Yu Yun, she thought you were dead, and so much time has passed. Do you expect someone to wait for you for years? Besides, she was forced by her mother, she had no choice.”

Li Mo continued, “The blame should be on you, for lying about being dead. When people think you’re dead, of course they’ll move on and find someone new.”

His words stabbed at Ye Chen’s heart, leaving him speechless.

“Otherwise, just tell her you’re still alive.”

“Hey, you better not mess around, I’m warning you.” Ye Chen became anxious again.

“Then don’t blame others for finding someone else.” Li Mo sounded somewhat sympathetic towards Guo Yuyun.

“Fine, don’t blame her, blame myself, I brought this upon myself. It’s only right that she finds someone new and lives a good life. What’s the point of following me, someone who only knows about today and not tomorrow?” Ye Chen suddenly fell silent.

“Good that you understand.”

“Are they talking about marriage?” Ye Chen still couldn’t help but ask.

“Yu Yun still can’t let go of you. Letting go of someone is not that easy, except for you.”

“What do you mean ‘except for me’?”

“Do I need to say it? Upon arriving at the Thirty-Six Islands, you completely forgot about everything back in the Central Plains, including all the people. And you have the nerve to blame others for finding someone new. You’re the one with the thick face.”

Ye Chen raised his voice, “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I’m fooling around here?”

“I wouldn’t dare say that about you.”

“That’s what you’re thinking. I’ve done none of what you said, fooling around. Everything I’ve done was for the Sacred Spirit Stone. I approached Nangong Yan for the Sacred Spirit Stone, and I made it very clear to her that I was already taken, asking her to stay away from me.”

“No need to be anxious, I was just speaking offhand.” Li Mo seemed to think that by poking like this, he could shake the mountain and shock the tiger.

“I can’t believe you’ve become so formidable.”

Li Mo smiled and said, “I just want to say that you need to be understanding and not place the blame entirely on someone else. Think about your own issues.”

“Alright, I’ve heard enough. Have you got my clothes ready, or shall we continue this over a meal?” Aside from getting angry, he seemed to have no other recourse.

“Don’t take your anger out on me, I have nothing to do with this.” Li Mo stood up, ready to leave.

Ye Chen was dumbfounded and shouted, “Pick out the best-looking one, and don’t you try to shirk the job.”

Li Mo coldly replied, “Ha, we’ll see if we can find one, and you want the best-looking one at that.” He continued on outside.

Once again, Ye Chen was left alone. He sat there, staring at the food on the table, his mood greatly affected by Li Mo’s words, which left him feeling utterly disgraced.

Right, everyone thought he was dead, could he really expect someone to remain widowed for life? How could he be so wicked? The most unreasonable thing was that he indeed had not found a solution yet—if he was truly doomed to fall into demonic possession, how could he inflict such misfortune on someone else?

Yes, the most to blame was himself. He couldn’t blame anyone else. Perhaps it was a good thing, at least the other person was living well, not dying of grief, and hadn’t become so disillusioned with the world to renounce it and become a monk.

Song Xizhi? He thought about it seriously and then he remembered—a quiet boy who didn’t talk much and liked to follow his father around. That’s great, suitable for that she-monkey.

At least it would only be the she-monkey bullying him.

That’s actually not so bad. How could he be like a complaining widow, blaming others? Does he have no shame?

His temper had definitely worsened lately; otherwise, why would he become so irritable? Damn it, it must be because of this accursed place. Otherwise, how could he possibly have become so irritable?

Everyone’s doing well enough. This way, he has fewer burdens on his mind, preventing him from feeling guilty just for glancing at a girl on the street, feeling like he’s committing a crime. It’s better this way, not bad at all.
