Chapter 1187 - 1187 1173 Heartache

Chapter 1187: Chapter 1173: Heartache Chapter 1187: Chapter 1173: Heartache “Envy, of course I envy you. Achievements and no lack of girls around, dropping one only to have another one devotedly take her place. How could I not be envious?” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, having never thought that it would think this way.

The Black Demonic Spirit continued, “I’ve been thinking about how to make a name for myself once I lose this sissy demeanor, by some means or another.”

“You want fame?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Who doesn’t want fame? Once you’re famous you’ve got everything, and women, too, just like you.”

“I never thought you’d envy me. Otherwise, I’d give you the ring.” Ye Chen joked.

“You’re trying to harm me, giving me the ring. You actually thought of that; it took me so long to rid myself of the malicious aura and to get a body, and now you think of giving me the ring?”

Ye Chen laughed, “But you really want to be famous, right? With the Wolf King’s Ring in your possession, you’d definitely become famous overnight.”

“Find someone else for such good things. I want a bit of normalcy in my life,” said the Black Demonic Spirit indifferently.

“See, I told you there’s no need to envy me. I’m the one who envies you.”

The Black Demonic Spirit added, “You also don’t need to act like you’re about to kick the bucket. I think you should listen to that girl, find a scapegoat, and transfer the magic power to it. That would solve everything, and you might even succeed.”

“The thing you don’t want to do, you’re asking me to find a scapegoat for.”

“I know you’re a kind and compassionate person. Indeed, it’s a despicable act. But sometimes, that’s just how people are; being despicable occasionally isn’t a big deal when it’s for survival. If you really feel bad about it, you can find someone utterly wicked, like Qiandu Xiang, then grab her and make her the scapegoat,” the Black Demonic Spirit offered Ye Chen some scheming advice.

“I didn’t expect you to be so dark.”

“It’s not that I’m dark, it’s just that this is how the world works. Everyone has done something shady; they all have stains, you just don’t know about them,” the Black Demonic Spirit said coldly.

Ye Chen took a deep sigh as Nangong Yan and Ouyang Yue in front seemed to stop and walk over to a small stall.

The Black Demonic Spirit patted him, “Really, it’s worth considering. You might just succeed and be free from all this. Still worrying about others, how foolish.”

The Red Demonic Spirit followed behind, talking to Li Mo about something, likely about events that had happened in the Central Plains. Ye Chen wasn’t listening attentively, nor was he in the mood to care.

He couldn’t even deal with his own problems, so why bother with those of the Central Plains?

The Black Demonic Spirit said again, “I want to return to the Central Plains with the Black Demonic Spirit.”

Ye Chen was stunned and asked, “What, you two are returning to the Central Plains and leaving me behind? You’re choosing this moment?”

“We believe you can handle Qiandu Xiang. Now that we’ve lost our malicious aura, we’re no longer experts and can’t be of much help. You still don’t know when you’ll get control of the Sacred Spirit Stone, so we want to go back to the Central Plains for a while. We can’t just stay here forever,” the Black Demonic Spirit explained.

“So, you really are planning to leave me behind.”

“We have to separate eventually. When we’re gone, we’ll keep an eye on Yun’er for you.”

“Madness. That girl doesn’t know I’m still alive.”

“Don’t worry, we’re no longer a single spirit. She won’t recognize us,” the Black Demonic Spirit assured.

“Who says so? She knows the voice of the Red Demonic Spirit.”

Indeed, though the Red Demonic Spirit had regained a body, its voice remained unchanged.

“No, people with similar voices are dime a dozen in this world. At most, she’ll suspect, but if we don’t admit it, it’ll be fine,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

Ye Chen looked at the Black Demonic Spirit, “So, you’re really planning on dumping me and taking off?”

“Who says we’re dumping you? You’ve got Li Mo, a woman, and a sister to keep you company. We’d just be in your way here. With no clue when the battle will start, I don’t want to waste my time in this godforsaken place.”

“I mean, I might really need your help.”

“We’re no longer two spirits; we don’t fly around or have any great demon powers left. What’s important is, there’s no telling when you’ll figure it all out. I can’t wait that long. I believe that even without us, you can still beat Qiandu Xiang with the others. Maybe if we hurry back, we can even attend Guo Yuyun’s wedding ceremony,” the Black Demonic Spirit said.

Clearly drunk, Ye Chen became upset. It seemed deliberate on the Black Demonic Spirit’s part, yet he did take it to heart and exclaimed, “Go ahead, leave! Hurry up and go, so no one can say I’m holding you back from finding happiness.” He sounded as if he were reluctant to let them go.

Continuing onwards, the two girls found a spot in a barbecue restaurant bustling with people coming and going; the business seemed to be good, attracting many men and women.

When Ye Chen walked over, he still felt somewhat embarrassed. Having come from the Jinye Pavilion and said those words under the influence of alcohol, he had actually intended for Nangong Yan to hear them, hoping she would consider him quite ordinary and preferably cease to harbor any intentions toward him from that point on.

Nangong Yan, however, responded with a smile, leaving him unsure of what to make of it. One would expect her to fly into a rage, but she remained calm, which was puzzling. She even purposefully saved a seat for him, right beside her.

“How about it? See anything you like?” Despite having calmed down a lot after hearing Ouyang Yue’s words, she still spoke with irony. That was just her character.

Ye Chen saw her acting so carefree and said, “It’s not bad, truly like an Immortal Domain on earth. I regret not coming earlier.”

Nangong Yan glared at him and said, “If you’ve really taken a liking to a maiden, just say the word, and I’ll help you redeem her.”

“Rest assured, if I truly need help, I will definitely speak up,” Ye Chen replied as he drank a cup of tea, feigning composure.

The Black Demonic Spirit had had enough of them and said, “He said he doesn’t have enough silver. You should give him more silver taels.”

This guy was quite wicked, stirring up trouble at this time. Ouyang Yue pinched the Black Demonic Spirit hard beside her, causing the Black Demonic Spirit almost to cry out in pain and consider switching places with the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ouyang Yue asked Nangong Yan next to her what she wanted to eat.

Usually, it was Li Mo who ordered the dishes, but in this unfamiliar place, it was definitely Nangong Yan who had the expertise. She interrupted the conversation between the two and said, “Yan’er, please recommend some good dishes for us.”

Nangong Yan looked at the menu, glanced at Ye Chen, and said, “Let’s start with a pot of old hen stewed with ginseng.”

The Black Demonic Spirit chuckled, “That’s perfect, the monkey really needs a good supplement.”

Ye Chen tried to appear natural, but his face was already red. He just gave a forced laugh, neither objecting nor refusing, and added, “Waiter, do you have high-quality Daughter’s Red Wine here?” His voice was quite loud.

Li Mo nudged him and said, “You’re drinking again?”

“Drink, why not? There’s still the pleasure of drinking to be had.”

Nangong Yan saw that Ye Chen was about to drink again and couldn’t really refuse, but it was clear that he was troubled. This was not his usual behavior. She earnestly ordered seven or eight of the restaurant’s specialty dishes.

“We should drink less,” Ouyang Yue suggested.

“Drink less? Impossible. Tonight, everyone’s here, we’re all happy, we should drink more,” Ye Chen said.

Just then, the waiter truly brought over two jars of Daughter’s Red Wine. Ouyang Yue prepared to decline, but Ye Chen grabbed them first, allowing the waiter to leave. Seemingly moved by the Black Demonic Spirit’s recent words and readying for an early departure with the Red Demonic Spirit, he said, “Tonight, this wine must be drunk. Last time couldn’t drink to our hearts’ content. As friends, who knows when we will go our separate ways, so how can we not seize the opportunity?”

Hearing the word “friends”, Nangong Yan called out, “Drink, let him have a good time.”

Ouyang Yue was stunned. What was with this girl? Had she not understood what was said before?

How could she know what Nangong Yan was thinking? After listening to Ouyang Yue’s analysis, Nangong Yan understood, but it also evoked envy and jealousy. She hadn’t expected him to be so unwilling to part, so truly infatuated, and despite her kindness, it seemed he saw nothing of it, stirring up her emotions.

“Come on, come on, Red Demonic Spirit, I heard you and the Black Demonic Spirit are planning to return to the Central Plains. Black Demonic Spirit is right; there’s no telling how long matters will drag on here. It’s not right to hold the two of you back; eventually everyone will go their separate ways. I wish you a smooth journey ahead.”

The Red Demonic Spirit also seemed stunned and glanced at the Black Demonic Spirit, unsure of the use of bringing this up at such a time, appearing quite embarrassed.

Ye Chen drank and then turned to Nangong Yan, “Regardless of the future, whether or not I can be saved, I must thank you all. Although we each got what we came for, you did your best. At least, towards the end of my life, you were with me, and for that, I am very grateful.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Nangong Yan finally got angry when she heard Ye Chen’s pessimistic words, and threw a cup of tea at him, hoping it would snap him back to reality. This guy was freaking out over a girl.

Ye Chen was indeed greatly shaken. Wiping the tea off his face, he said, “Ah, it’s nothing, I accept reality and will cherish it too. It was just a ‘what if.’ I’m not really giving up.”

Although Nangong Yao had given him a glimmer of hope, saying there might still be a chance, he knew that the chance was incredibly slim. A verdict from Divine Doctor Zhu was not so easily overturned.

“Fine, drink up, however much you want, I’m with you,” Nangong Yan also became emotional. She truly cared.

Ouyang Yue looked at Ye Chen,

Ye Chen also felt that he might not be handling things well, so he quickly sat back down, finished his drink, and with a pretense of a smile, said, “Let’s eat something first.”

Nangong Yan didn’t want him to go on like this, but at the moment, it seemed she couldn’t help him.
