Super détecteur de fantômes

Chapitre 97

Su Chenche's heel slipped, and he was forced to move several feet away from his position.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a hurried female voice: "Su Chenche, be careful!"

Su Chenche was knocked away by the person, and the woman who knocked him down slammed her head against the wall due to the speed, and lost consciousness.

*******************************************************************************

"Knowing separation..."

Su Chenche paused for a moment, murmured two words, and instantly cupped Shen Zhili's closed-eye sleeping face in his hands.

Yu Yan was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events. After seeing Shen Zhili's face clearly, his expression became somewhat complicated.

He crouched down and said, "Let go, let me take a look at her."

Su Chenche hesitated for only a moment before biting his lip, letting go, and simultaneously clutching his abdomen.

Yu Yan first touched Shen Zhili's head a couple of times, then frowned slightly and pulled out a hairpin.

Then he placed his other hand on Shen Zhili's pulse.

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Yan's expression changed, and he murmured, "Yellow Rose pollen and Poison Wolfsbane juice..." He turned to look at Su Chenche, "Has she forgotten something?"

Su Chenche nodded.

Yu Yan seemed to hesitate for a moment: "Do you need me to help her regain her memories?"

Su Chenche replied without hesitation, "No need. You just need to check her injuries."

"Why?" Yu Yan was taken aback, then said calmly, "She doesn't have any serious injuries. She just hit her head and fainted temporarily. She'll wake up in half a day and there's nothing wrong with her... But why don't you want her to remember?"

Su Chenche smiled beautifully: "Because there's no need. Even if she forgets me for the third time, I will still make her fall in love with me."

He said it so naturally, not to fob him off, but because that was exactly what Su Chenche thought.

Yu Yan's depleted heart suddenly sank.

At that moment, the emotion that consumed my heart was jealousy.

...Yes, he was jealous, jealous of Su Chenche's confidence, and even more jealous of Shen Zhili's willingness to risk her life to protect him.

"When did you think of this?" Yu Yan pursed his lips. "Do you hate me?"

Su Chenche thought for a moment: "However, when I took the antidote to the Seven Emotions Pill more than two months ago... you should know that besides being able to counteract the Seven Emotions Pill, that thing also has the effect of erasing the effects of all pills that control people's hearts. As for hating you..." He looked up and smiled, "When I first remembered, I did hate you. After all, you made me so late in being with her. However, hating you won't help. I can't get back those years anyway, so why should I give up the time I've gained just because I hate you?"

Yu Yan sighed softly: "You like her a lot?"

Su Chenche smiled: "It's not just liking, it's loving her."

Yu Yan: "But have you ever considered that it might be because of your mother..."

“It has nothing to do with it.” Su Chenche interrupted him again. “I love Shen Zhili simply because she is Shen Zhili, and it has nothing to do with any other reason.”

Yu Yan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Chenche struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall: "If you want to kill me, you can continue now... My abdomen is still badly injured, so killing me would be easy for you. You don't need to resort to sneak attacks."

Yu Yan remained silent.

Su Chenche wanted to take Shen Zhili from his hands, but Yu Yan refused to let go.

After a moment of stalemate, Yu Yan suddenly looked down at the woman in his arms. There was a hint of anxiety on her beautiful face. It was familiar. Shen Zhili usually had this expression when she was worried about someone. Her nose was slightly wrinkled, her lips were tightly pursed, and sweat dripped down her cheeks.

In a daze, she was still that young, naive, yet easily satisfied girl.

He said softly, "I'm sorry." It was unclear who he was speaking to, but before he finished speaking, Yu Yan swiftly stuffed a pill into Shen Zhili's mouth.

Su Chenche: "What did you feed her?"

Yu Yan: "It's just a pill that can restore memories... You really want her to remember, don't you?"

Whether Su Chenche likes it or not, she cannot forget, especially the promise she made to him.

Yu Yan slowly released his grip, and Su Chenche finally took Shen Zhili from his arms smoothly. Gently brushing Shen Zhili's hair aside with his fingers, Su Chenche said, "Then I'm leaving. I think you probably don't want her to see you at this time either... She's different from me. Even if you changed your appearance, she would definitely recognize you. Right—"

Su Chenche casually called out his other name.

"——Shen Tianxing."

The name was like a key that could open a Pandora's box, making Yu Yan, or rather Shen Tianxing, suddenly shudder.

When Su Chenche came to his senses, he was already carrying Shen Zhili and stepping out the door. Shen Tianxing glanced at him and said, "Your subordinate, aren't you taking him with you?"

Su Chenche paused for a moment: "You're probably not in a good mood right now. You can play with Raikage for now, just don't kill yourself. Uh, he'll probably find a way out on his own."

Yu Yan laughed.

But through that half-lit, half-shadowed figure, their eyes seemed to see a boy from a few years ago, smiling brightly and mischievously in the morning sun.

At that time, Hua Jiuye had just learned the truth and left in anger, and he did not stop her.

Three months later, he happened to pass by Shen Zhili's courtyard and caught a glimpse of a young man in white sitting on the roof. The wind ruffled the young man's hair, half-obscuring his face so that it was not clear. Fluttering crimson petals covered his shoulders and hair. The young man reached out his hand to his timid and aloof female disciple and said very gently, "Zhili, come up, okay?"

The girl in green hesitated for a moment, looked around, lifted her skirt, and climbed up the ladder on one side to the roof.

The boy in white smiled broadly, opened his arms, and hugged the girl tightly: "Zhi Li, look, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

The girl in green: "Hey, let go of me! Who gave you permission to hug me like that! My senior brother said that girls shouldn't be hugged by just anyone. Hey, are you even listening to me...?"

"I heard you, of course I can't just do it casually, so you can marry me from now on." The young man in white kissed the girl on the cheek, looking intoxicated: "Zhi Li, your face is so soft and fragrant."

Enraged, the girl in green threw a punch.

The boy in white cried out in alarm, his body went limp, and he tumbled downwards.

The girl in green quickly tried to pull him away, but the boy in white spun around and hugged her tightly, sitting peacefully on the rooftop: "Zhi Li, you see you're still worried about me, aren't you? What's wrong with marrying me?"

...Because of that spin, he saw the boy's face and was instantly struck dumb.

Originally, he was only displeased. Hua Jiuye and Shen Zhili had known each other for many years, but this young man had made Shen Zhili put her at ease in just three months. How could Shen Zhili be so lacking in vigilance? But when he saw that face that was five or six parts similar to Ji Yue's, Shen Tianxing immediately understood.

...He came for his mother.

They cannot be kept alive, but they cannot be killed either.

After much deliberation, Shen Tianxing erased Su Chenche and Shen Zhili's memories and sent Su Chenche back to Twelve Nights.

After that, he tried every means to prevent the two from meeting.

Unexpectedly, despite all the attempts to stop them, the two still met and fell in love, time and time again.

Never promised, never forgotten.

Chapters 7 and 8

Hearing Su Chenche's voice fade into the distance, Shen Tianxing's features remained unchanged, but his expression seemed to have aged instantly.

He took down the painting and stared at it quietly. The woman he had loved his whole life, the woman he thought would be with him until the end, even though they had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, could not compare to her brief encounter with that other person over a few years.

Is this fate?

"Shen Jiyue".

He murmured the name softly, each word tinged with a sense of loss.

As a child, she was often injured because of her mischievousness and could only be treated by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She would often rest her chin on her hand and say to him with sparkling eyes, "Doctors are so amazing. When I grow up, I want to marry a doctor!"

So he went and built Spring Valley.

Because she once said that her greatest wish was to travel to the ends of the earth with the one she loved.

So he gave himself the alias Shen Tianxing.

Because she said she found quiet people reliable.

So he kept quiet from then on.

He did everything he could to please her, but sadly, in the end, they traveled the world together...

It wasn't him.

He even remembered the feeling of his heart shattering in an instant when Shen Jiyue casually told him, "Xiao Yan, I think I've taken a liking to a man."

The sound of each crack spreading was so clear that it could almost be heard.

At that moment, he longed to hold Shen Jiyue in his arms and tell her how much he loved her and how much he hoped she wouldn't fall for another man.

But his inherent pride prevented him from doing so.

This is the thing he regrets most in his life.

Gradually, Shen Jiyue drifted further and further away from him.

He always comes and goes in a hurry, his smile carrying a careless perfunctory air. When you talk to him, you get distracted and unconsciously smile... but it's not because of him.

He tried his best to be patient.

But when Shen Jiyue told him that she was pregnant.

No matter how much you try to endure it, the pain eventually becomes unbearable and your heart breaks.

He chose to tell the elders.

As a saintess, Shen Jiyue's greatest responsibility is to bear him the next successor of the Demonic Sect.

The saintess who broke her vow deserves to die!

Then, Shen Jiyue rebelled, and he killed Shen Jiyue. It all seemed unreal... That was the darkest period of the Demonic Sect, which was torn apart and disintegrated. He told himself that he killed Shen Jiyue because of her rebellion, which was justified and logical, and there was nothing he should feel guilty about... But he knew clearly in his heart that it was because of jealousy.

His impetuous and reckless behavior in his youth brought him great suffering.

Shen Tianxing closed his eyes and reached out to push open the coffin in front of him.

His fingers touched the cold clothes inside the coffin, and he sighed softly. Shen Zhili thought of the promise she made to him and the years she spent with Su Chenche. Would it be too cruel to make her make such a decision again?

*******************************************************************************

Inside the Demonic Cult.

King Gandharva paced back and forth in the secret chamber: "What do we do now?"

The Dragon King pressed his forehead: "Gandharva... don't go anymore, I'm dizzy, oh, I'm so hungry."

The Yaksha King raised his lips, picked up a string of strangely shaped fruits, and threw them into the Dragon King's mouth like feeding a dog, saying, "Three paths: kill, run, or surrender."

The Dragon King roared in fury: "Awooo..."

King Gandharva pondered for a moment: "King Asura has gone to find Protector Feather... or should we wait for him to return..."
