Chapter 569.1: Love Locking Gu
Li Hong Yuan opened his eyes. However, it was as dark as an abyssal pool, completely bottomless, and didn’t have the slightest tenderness that would naturally reveal when hearing about Jing Wan. If Jing Wan were to suddenly stand before him, perhaps would even think that he’d already changed souls.
The people by Li Hong Yuan’s side, during this period of time, from morning to night, all resided in an extremely tense state. That kind of pressure seemingly can make one suffocate at anytime. Even if master doesn’t do anything or say anything, merely just giving you a glance can just make you feel like as if you’d gotten stripped naked and then thrown into the snow. That kind of getting frozen from the inside out feeling would even make one lose the ability to think and move, becoming a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Prior to their master marrying w.a.n.gfei, he similarly was very scary, malicious and ruthless, indefinitely moody, but at least, still made one feel he was still human. However, currently, he really wasn’t like a person, but rather a true emotionless and heartless demon G.o.d.
If human, then no matter how scary, he was still normal majority of the times, and able to be reasoned with. They were shadow guards, death soldiers, their everything all belonging to their master, so when facing their master, there actually didn’t exist any fear. Regardless of what he does, from their view, they were all able to accept, something that can’t be more normal. But, right now, this completely wasn’t the case, finding oneself situated at the edge of death at all times. It wasn’t straightforwardly dying after making a mistake, but rather dying under torment carrying fear that even made one’s soul all tremble.
There was no time like during this period of time, where they really wished for w.a.n.gfei to be present.
However, they were also very worried inside. Was it really suitable for w.a.n.gfei to meet the current w.a.n.gye?
Even though w.a.n.gfei has an unparalleled position in w.a.n.gye’s heart, where even the entire world all added together still can’t compare with her, occupying all of w.a.n.gye’s heart and mind, but what if w.a.n.gye doesn’t have a heart? Will it mean that in w.a.n.gye’s eyes, w.a.n.gfei is just the same as the others?
w.a.n.gfei and w.a.n.gye have deep feelings for one another, and because nothing major has ever occurred, there wasn’t the situation of accompanying in death. However, they were all very clear inside, if that time really comes, it certainly would be from the heavens above to the yellow springs below, faithful even in death. From this, it can be seen, if w.a.n.gye were to cut off his feelings, ending his love for w.a.n.gfei, then how big of a blow that would be for w.a.n.gfei. w.a.n.gfei’s situation right now was special. Receiving such a big blow, perhaps………..
However, they still held hope inside, hoping that even now, w.a.n.gfei was still special in w.a.n.gye’s heart.
Inside w.a.n.gye’s body was the love-locking gu, locking on the host of the female gu that was paired with the gu inside w.a.n.gye. Under normal circ.u.mstances, getting affected by this kind of gu, w.a.n.gye would just wholeheartedly think of the other gu’s host, becoming completely obedient to her, and cold and heartless towards people other than her.
However, w.a.n.gye’s situation right now was instead viewing everyone the same, not existing that special one. The love-locking gu really was just ‘locking up’ the emotions.
The female gu’s host previously wanted to approach him, yet in the end, nearly died. If not for the female gu having absolute authority over the male gu, she really would’ve died. If the male gu’s host produces the intention to harm the female gu, then he will immediately suffer backlash, and because of the backlash, that woman was able to escape from w.a.n.gye’s hands.
And they also couldn’t do anything to that woman either. Setting aside the fact that the male gu will control the host to protect the female gu—–this effect even more aggressive than locking the emotions, and on their master, it wasn’t completely ineffective, occasionally taking effect——additionally, on that woman, it’s said that there was another kind of subst.i.tute gu, and even the mother gu. And the carrier of the child gu will endure all the external injuries in her place, and the child gu was on w.a.n.gfei.
Even though towards this saying, they maintain a suspicious att.i.tude. However, these days, they’ve also witnessed the bizarreness of gu, so they would rather believe that it exist, than to believe that it doesn’t. That’s why, right now, they were actually quite on the pa.s.sive side.
However, things also weren’t completely out of hand. At least, w.a.n.gfei’s situation, they were actually all aware of, and not like what certain people a.s.sume, not knowing anything at all.
It should go without saying, based on w.a.n.gye’s devotion and care towards w.a.n.gfei, even if trusting Grandmaster Liao Chen, it was still impossible to not have any safety measures at all. Just, those people were all hidden in the dark. On one hand it was protecting, while on the other hand, it was also keeping watch, wanting to have that inside traitor dug out. That’s why, when Jing Wan woke up, the matter of the news not being able to pa.s.s out, this kind of thing, was practically just an enormous joke. Perhaps unable to know Li Hong Yuan’s exact location, but for pa.s.sing on the news, they ultimately had their special channels.
And towards the development of the matter, it was also nothing more than just going along with it.
TN: All
“How’s the situation?” His tone was ice-cold, like as if asking about a very ordinary matter.
The person that came in had his eyes lowered, having the previous matter briefly recounted.
Without needing to look, they for the most part already knew his current expression.
In the past, if hearing about some other man approaching w.a.n.gfei, even the kind that harbored devious desires, w.a.n.gye absolutely would immediately fly into a rage, wanting to have the person chopped into pieces. However, right now, he didn’t have any reaction at all, so it can be seen exactly how abnormal the situation was.
Generally speaking, for a man, even if not having any feelings towards one’s wife, there would still be possessive desires, and won’t tolerate others touching, so how come there just wasn’t any reaction?
Is it because of completely not caring? But if it’s really like this, then he should’ve long given the order to kill the female gu’s host. The male gu’s host was absolutely loyal to the female gu’s host, and absolutely protective of, but there doesn’t exist the situation where if the female gu dies, then the male gu will also die along with———this was probably because the woman that made the love-locking gu wanted a certain man’s absolute affection, yet also because of loving the other party, thus didn’t want to drag the other party to die together.
Then, as long as it wasn’t the male gu’s host, then there wasn’t any problem. Based on the living Enma’s character, how could he be willing to be controlled by someone. He just got his feelings locked, and not changing in personality. In reality, without the shackles of ’emotion’, he would just be even more unbridled. But, he didn’t. Aside from when the female gu’s host attempted to approach in the very beginning, the rest of the time, he all didn’t do anything.
Was it ultimately still being affected by the love-locking gu, or still concerned about w.a.n.gfei’s safety?
Li Hong Yuan closed his eyes again, “Go make preparations. Tomorrow, have the matter settled.”
“Yes, master.”
“Put out the light, and withdraw.”
The three of them all didn’t make another sound, silently extinguis.h.i.+ng the lamp, withdrawing out, and closing the door.
Li Hong Yuan’s entire person all sunk in darkness. His situation wasn’t that great. The effect of the love-locking gu was actually more serious than what the people below him antic.i.p.ated. The reason why he was completely cold like a block of ice was because he can’t rashly produce emotions. Once there’s emotional fluctuations, the love-locking gu’s influence will just increase, and once it increased, it will just mean that he might strangely produce feelings for the female gu’s host. That was something Li Hong Yuan very much opposed.
He just got his feelings locked up, and not lose his memories. Perhaps he wasn’t able to feel his love towards Jing Wan, but the bits and pieces of his interactions with Jing Wan were still very clear in his mind. Even if not carrying any emotions when looking through those memories, he still wasn’t able to be completely indifferent. On the contrary, perhaps because of having his emotions sealed, without his emotions restraining that perverse possessive desire, he further wanted to have Jing Wan locked up. That’s why, towards those that dare to peek at Jing Wan, how could he not mind in the slightest.
Just, the first time he lost control of his emotions, he nearly just got controlled by the love-locking gu. That’s why, he was suppressing himself the whole time, suppressing his various emotions. This was more or less the same as that time previously when Jing Wan had sunk into a coma, being tense to the extreme.
That kind of feeling wasn’t good. If one’s willpower wasn’t strong to the extreme, then absolutely unable to achieve. ———Bear in mind that according to the Baiyi clan’s history, since the birth of the love-locking over a thousand years ago, there has never been the precedent of it failing. Among them, there didn’t lack some powerful individuals that had strong willpower, but in the end, they still weren’t able to escape. That was just like the instinct of a completely irrational beast.
Li Hong Yuan slept very little at night, even less than before marrying Jing Wan. Moreover, it was also very light. Even if sleeping, it was also just a half-asleep, half-awake state, because right now, he would very easily dream, and his emotional stirrings in his dream were very big.
When suppressing too fiercely, Li Hong Yuan on the surface was like an iceberg, but below the icy layer, it was nevertheless like a bubbling volcano about to erupt. The icy layer on the outside was very hard, but it was actually also very fragile. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it was unable to shatter no matter what, but if the timing is right, then perhaps just a light tap can just shatter it.
And what is the result of a volcanic eruption? ——All life plunging into despair!
Jing Wan although had a pretty decent sleeping environment, but her sleep actually wasn’t that good. Aside from being sensitive to the noises outside of the simple small hut, it was also because she kept dreaming, and the things in her dreams naturally weren’t that wonderful, so she was continuously teetering between being asleep and awake. Even the outside was all able to detect her restlessness.
Jing Wan in the end was thoroughly startled awake, but she didn’t make any sounds, and didn’t have any intention of getting up. In the dark night, her eyes were open. Even if others weren’t able to see, it still can’t change the fact that they were blank and spiritless.
The child in her stomach suddenly started moving. Jing Wan finally returned to her senses, reaching out to lightly caress her stomach.
And Li Hong Yuan similarly wasn’t well. The dreams that had more or less disappeared in the past few days once again appeared at this time, and moreover, came like a torrential rush, sweeping up a giant wave, mercilessly engulfing him. And the scene in his dream made him unable to wake up any time soon. Intense emotions rose up, making the originally still considered quiet love-locking gu start moving violently, influencing Li Hong Yuan’s emotions. It was practically just a vicious cycle.
Such obvious movements from the male gu, how could the female gu not have any reactions. And once it reacted, how could its host not detect. Thus, in the house on the other side, the door got pushed open. A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in an exotic attire crossed over the doorstep, gracefully walking towards Li Hong Yuan’s side.
Just, this woman’s walking posture seemingly was somewhat incompatible with her bearing. Her appearance clearly was the gaudy and ostentatious type, her style of clothing also appearing pa.s.sionate and exposing, yet her posture was reserved and peaceful.
The woman naturally got blocked outside the door by the people under Li Hong Yuan. However, the woman didn’t mind, hooking a shallow smile. Her entire person instantly just became lively. With her raised eye corners and perked red lips, even if not deliberately seducing, she can still make one be charmed. Her entire person was just like a lump of blazing fire, hot and intense, making one unconsciously fall into oblivion. Just, the people under Li Hong Yuan were just like puppets without a soul, having her ignored very thoroughly.
