Chapter Ninety-Five

  Born and died with ghosts for so many years, they have gone through a lot together, almost inseparable.

  However, for every detail of being with Gui Mei, You Yue hadn't forgotten a single bit, especially their first encounter...

  That year was also the cold winter month of today, with heavy snowfall and biting winds howling outside, as if to freeze the entire earth.

  But no matter how cold and biting it is outside, it can't compare to the chill in his heart.

  For seven whole days and nights, he was continuously raped by this group of beasts for seven days and nights. At that time, he really wanted to die.

  My mother died young, and my father was a small landlord. Our family had a good life with plenty of food and clothing.

  But in his home, he was essentially a non-existent person.

  His father ignored him and after marrying his stepmother, he became even more indifferent to him, speaking to him only when necessary.

  Later, his stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and the family was filled with joy, but he was just an extra person in the house, only his father and stepmother were happy together.

  Later, his stepmother feared that he would fight with her own son for the family property, so she took advantage of her father's absence and ruthlessly sold him to a wolf-like person.

  He had barely escaped from the wolf's den and thought that as long as he could escape, everything would be fine. Who knew, he had just fallen from one wolf's lair into another.

  Physically and mentally exhausted, extremely hungry, he was picked up by a man and taken back. He thought he had met a kind person who would take him in, but it turned out later that this was not a good person at all, but a beast worse than an animal!

  He had already forgotten how many men were in that small wooden hut, only remembering their lewd laughter and ferocious faces, which still lingered vividly in his mind.

  They pressed him down on the simple wooden bed together, tearing his clothes to shreds, and then roughly occupied him.

  The physical tearing was nothing compared to the heartbreak. At that time, he even had a mind to die. However, those people knew he wanted to die, so they stuffed his mouth with cloth, but instead, they continued to trample his body.

  Such tearing and trampling, so cruel...

  The bloody smell quickly spread throughout the room, the bed was covered in blood, all of it his...

  Later, he went from initial fear to final despair and desperation. He thought that for the rest of his life, he would have to face these beasts, but who knew, just after being gang-raped for seven days and nights, at his most desperate moment, a slender figure appeared.

  At that time, the ghost was about 13 or 14 years old in appearance, wearing a black suit. Suddenly, with a "bang", one foot kicked open the wooden door that could barely block the cold wind.

  That black garment fluttering in the cold wind, formed a strong contrast with the pure white snow behind him.

  Although, at that time, the ghost was cold and stern, with deep-set eyes that seemed to crave blood, and an aura of death emanating from his entire body, yet in his eyes, he appeared to be a divine being!

  All he saw was his hand rising and falling, cold light flashing everywhere, and immediately, the men who were still pressing on him fell to the ground one by one, almost without even having a chance to cry out.

  Blood, increasingly dense, dyed a patch of ground red, almost turning that small wooden hut into a sea of blood.

  But he saw it and was not afraid at all, but instead felt relieved and liberated.

  Finally, all these damn people are dead, great, really great.

  But he has also been sullied and is too ashamed to show his face; what's the point of still being alive in this world?

  He took a dagger in one hand with despair and was about to kill himself, but the ghost stopped him.

  Even now, he still remembers what the ghost said at that time.

  "Have the courage to die, why don't you have the courage to live?"

  At that time, Gui Mie's face still had a bit of baby fat, but his face showed a coldness that didn't match his age.

  Perhaps it was at that moment that he fell deeply in love with him...

  In the end, he lived on, but for his sake...

  Because of his one sentence, because he wanted to be with him, so, he survived...

  Later, the ghost brought him back to Luocha Hall, and he vowed to be with him through life and death, swearing that in this life and this world, he would stay by his side, even if they couldn't love each other, just asking to be together...

  Moreover, as long as he sees those who wish to harm ghosts and spirits, he will absolutely not let them off.

  After all, in the Luocha Pavilion, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the wars are fierce. Especially when Bao Zhen Tian's body is getting weaker and weaker, each of them has ambitions and wants to reach that high position, and they will use any means to achieve it.

  At that time, the person Ba Zhen Tian looked up to the most was Gui Mei, so Gui Mei became the object of everyone's desire to eliminate.

  However, for anyone who wants to deal with the ghost, they must first pass this test. After all, he absolutely does not allow others to hurt a single hair of the ghost!

  So at that time, in the darkest moment of Luocha Pavilion, countless people died and were injured inside Luocha Pavilion. Finally, when Baizhentian passed away, Guimai finally ascended to the position of Pavilion Master of Luocha Pavilion, and he stood by his side as a matter of course, becoming the Deputy Pavilion Master.

  They worked together to thoroughly purge the Luoshen Building, and those who refused to submit would meet a single end: death!

  At that time, although he was very tired every day, it was the happiest time of his life.

  Although, Guī Mei from the first time she saw him until now, still has a cold and icy demeanor, he doesn't smile, doesn't talk much, is very aloof, however, she can't help but be drawn in by his cold and icy aura.

  He had thought that his temperament was like a ghost, but now he knew that he could also smile and have a gentle side, unfortunately, it wasn't towards him...

  At this thought, a surge of jealousy and anger rose up in You Yue's heart. He really wanted to kill the damned woman in front of him at that moment, but he knew he couldn't.

  At least, it's not possible now...

  No matter how much resentment there was in her heart, You Yue simply buried it all deep within.

  His gentle eyes slightly drooped, and his long eyelashes thickly covered the fierce resentment that flashed in his eyes.

  However, the two over there had never noticed anything unusual in Yougetsu's eyes.

  When he saw the young woman in front of him, Gui Mei's originally icy face softened a bit, although his body still carried a cold and icy aura, but he had indeed changed a lot.

  After all, when facing this little woman in front of him, the evil spirit on Gui Mie's body would naturally dissipate a lot.

  "You're here."

  Simple three words, coming from those sensitive thin lips, revealing a hint of low and hoarse, yet damn seductive.

  It was as if he had been waiting for Han Xi Tong for a very, very long time. His slightly low and husky voice carried a hint of gentleness, just like the sweet nothings one would whisper to their lover.

  These words, heard by You Yue's heart, are undoubtedly adding insult to injury and fuel to the fire.

  Anger is like a venomous snake, constantly entwining itself around Yuè's heart.

  After all, having known Gui Mie for so long, when had he ever seen him speak gently to himself.

  They have been partners through thick and thin for so many years, yet they can't get a bit of tenderness from him. Why is that?!

  Is it just because he is a man?

  But he is a man, so what? Can't men love other men?

  His love is not wrong at all, it's just that the person he loves happens to be a man.

  However, if the ghost is particular about this point, he can change everything for him, even letting him change his own sex!

  No one knew what You Yue was thinking, but on the other side, Han Xi Tong's eyes were burning with anger after hearing Gui Mei's words.

  Damn it, this bastard, what 'you're here'.

  Doesn't he feel a bit overboard with what he just said in that tone?

  He actually brought her here without regard for anyone else's wishes. Is this really his usual way of doing things? Such arbitrariness!

  The more she thought about it, the angrier Han Xi's eyes became as she stared at Gui Mei, her sparkling eyes shooting out a fierce flame that seemed to burn with an inner fire. If looks could kill, Gui Mei would probably have been beaten to death by now.

  "You're here? Good one, you're here, ghost! Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

  "Uh..."

  Hearing Han Xi Tong's words, Gui Mei's cold and cool face involuntarily twitched slightly.

  After all, he had just seen her and his heart was overjoyed, almost to the point of flying away. He completely forgot that initially he had used extreme measures to 'bring' her back.

  At this moment, facing Han Xi Tong's anger, Gui Mei was at a loss for how to react.

  Yuè, who was standing beside her, had always been disgusted with Hán Xī Tóng. Why did she get to make Guǐ Mào treat her gently? Now, she was even yelling at him in such a fierce tone, it was infuriating!

  At this thought, You Yue's expression changed, and the gaze she directed at Han Xi's eyes once again shot out a fierce and venomous glint, her eyes narrowing as she coldly shouted.

  "You damned woman, what's your attitude? You dare to be so arrogant in the Luocha Pavilion, I won't forgive you!"

  After finishing speaking, the silver thread on his hand swung again.

  This time, You Yue used all her internal force and anger, the silver thread shot out with a momentum like breaking bamboo, determined to kill Han Xi Tong!

  Unfortunately, Han Xi's eyes had not yet dodged, and the silver thread had already been pinched tightly between two fingers by Gui Mei.

  In this world, there are few people who can catch his subtle and elusive nature, but Gui Mei is one of them.

  However, this time, You Yue used all her strength to try and kill Han Xi Tong, so the internal force infused in the silver thread was considerable. Although Gui Mei was holding it with just two fingers, she was still injured by the silver thread.

  A drop of fresh blood fell from those slender fingers, flowing slowly down the clearly articulated large hand, and landed softly on the snowy ground.

  A crisp sound, on the pristine snow-covered ground, a cluster of delicate red plum blossoms appeared, at first glance, breathtakingly beautiful!

  However, the ghost's sudden movement made the two people on the scene look at each other in surprise.

  Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, with a hint of astonishment in her gaze. The ghost's protective actions towards her made Han Xi's heart skip a beat.

  Although she was furious about being brought here against her will by the ghostly apparitions, seething with indignation.

  However, she also knew that the silver thread used by You Yue just now had exhausted her internal energy to kill her. Although she managed to dodge it, watching Gui Mie being injured while protecting her made her stunned, disbelieving, and slightly moved...

  Because he really cared about her... was concerned about her...

  Compared to Han Xi Tong's excitement, You Yue on the other side was filled with incredulity and heartache...

  Seeing Gui Mie's tenderness towards this woman made him jealous, and seeing Gui Mie's protection of her made him even more furious!

  But when he saw the ghost being hurt by him, he was even more heartbroken!

  "Mei, your hand..."

  The originally cold and ruthless gaze towards Han Xi suddenly changed when facing Gui Mei, becoming tense and flustered, with a hint of concern that couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

  "Brother, don't you dare hurt her!"

  A low, icy voice, like the bone-chilling cold of thawing ice and snow, made one feel as if they were in an ice cave. What pained You Yue most was the warning flavor that Ghostly Charm's eyes could not conceal.

  Although he knew Guī Mèi Lěng was cold, he had never spoken to himself in such a tone before.

  For the first time, he was gentle, because of this woman in front of him.

  For the first time, he spoke to himself in a warning tone, also because of this woman in front of him.

  So everything was caused by this woman! Is it possible that the ghost has fallen in love with this woman?!

  For the idea that sprouted in my heart, let the dim moonlight gaze at it with a glance, and feel a pang of pain, as if my heart is being cut by a knife.

  He didn't even think about it and immediately opened his mouth towards the ghost.

  "Charm, why? You've never spoken to me in such a tone before. Have you taken a liking to her?"

  You Yue gritted her teeth and let out a low growl, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Gui Mei's face.

  Never missed the slightest expression on Gui Mie's face.

  And his words were like a missile, exploding in the scene.

  This made Gui Mie and Han Xi Tong both stunned.

  Although he had heard Guimai say that he liked her, Hanxiang didn't believe it at all. After all, they were just people who had met twice, how could he possibly like her?

  But what on earth is this man going crazy about? And while he was saying these words, his eyes were filled with shock and tension that couldn't be hidden.

  It feels like if he acknowledges the ghost, it will die...

  This man is really weird!

  Compared to Han Xi Tong's confusion, the ghostly figure on the other side flashed his eyes after hearing You Yue's words, and then his gaze slowly fell on the little woman in front of him.

  Yes, he likes her!

  He didn't know when he started liking her.

  He likes the feeling of being with her, likes watching her every smile and frown, likes having her by his side. Although many times, her temper seems to be bad, very changeable, but he just likes her.

  He hopes she can be by his side every night, accompanying him to appreciate the flowers, the moon and the beautiful scenery, so he won't feel lonely anymore...

  He didn't know what it was like to have a crush before.

  After all, it's not easy for an assassin to like such a luxurious thing!

  Especially at that time, he was single-mindedly seeking revenge for his mother and had never thought of liking a girl, let alone getting married and having children like normal people.

  He thought his life would only be surrounded by hatred, but now he realizes that it's not that he doesn't understand love, it's just that he hasn't met the woman who can truly move his heart yet!

  And isn't his liking for her so obvious? Even Yougetsu noticed it?

  As for Youyue's question, Guimie had never intended to conceal it. After all, he really liked the woman in front of him, and that was a fact.

  Thinking of this, the ghostly red lips lightly opened, and the eagle eyes fell tightly on Han Xi's face.

  The tenderness in her eyes is so obvious that even a blind person can see it!

  Han Xi's eyes were facing the gentle affection in Gui Mie's eyes, and her heart was severely shaken.

  After all, this face is so familiar, whether it's the figure, breath, eyes, ears, mouth and nose, even if she closes her eyes, you can still see it.

  After all, this face has been deeply imprinted on her heart and in her life, and cannot be erased!

  However, in the past, the owner of this face had never shown such a gentle side to himself.

  At that time, she just thought it was Cheng Wei's personality. Although he appeared to be cold and cool on the surface, in fact, he loved her deeply.

  Now it seems, I think my previous idea was so ridiculous.

  When that icy bullet pierced her heart, she finally knew that Cheng Wei had never loved her, not even a little bit...

  So, when she saw this familiar yet strange handsome face, looking at his deep and profound eagle eyes gazing at her with deep emotions like the sea, Han Xi's heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, with all sorts of flavors rising to her head.

  Perhaps this gentle gaze was what she had been longing for on Cheng Wei's face.

  Once, when she was almost forgetting herself in her love for Ai Chengwei, she longed for him to gaze at her with tenderness and deep emotion, even if only for a glance. But back then, she never got it, not even until death.

  Now, she is thinking of thoroughly forgetting the past, forgetting those unbearable memories, and forgetting that man who made her deeply feel what it's like to be in pain and despair. However, this man suddenly reappeared in her life again.

  Although she knew he wasn't Cheng Wei, every time she saw him, that familiar face made her both love and hate him, the taste of lingering resentment was really unbearable.

  But at this moment, facing the ghost's deep and affectionate gaze like the sea, she was heartbroken...

  Heart, as if skipping a beat.

  Once her eyes fell on him, they couldn't be withdrawn again.

  Because his deep and emotional eyes seemed to hold a magical power that could deeply capture people's souls, making them unable to extricate themselves...

  In an instant, the two people's eyes met, one person's eyes were filled with gentle affection, while the other person's eyes were entwined with love and hatred. The threads of their emotions seemed to intersect in mid-air as they gazed at each other...

  Such a scene, in other people's eyes, is a perfect match made in heaven, but it also makes someone else burn with anger and heartache.

  Although You Yue was eager to know the answer, when he saw Gui Mei looking at the woman in front of him with such deep affection, he became afraid.

  Because he was afraid, afraid to hear from the person he had liked for many years that he actually liked another woman!

  Just as Gui Mei was about to say something with a faint smile on her lips, You Yue immediately stopped her.

  "That's enough!"

  As Yougetsu's sudden loud shout echoed, the surroundings immediately fell silent. At the same time, the two people who had been staring at each other also shifted their gaze to Yougetsu beside them.

  Those two pairs of black eyes also carried confusion and astonishment. It seemed that they couldn't understand the excitement reaction to You Yue.

  Realizing she had been overly excited just now, afraid that the ghost would notice something, You Yue's face turned pale, her heart tightened, and her gaze towards the ghost was even more panicked.

  Can't let him know, absolutely can't!

  He understands the ghost, if he lets him know his feelings for him, he will never let him get close to him again!

  Even if he is indifferent to himself, it's fine as long as he can stand by his side with a clear conscience. If he can't see the ghost in the future, what's the point of living in this world? Isn't that equivalent to being worse off than dead?!

  At this thought, You Yue's face suddenly turned completely white.

  He didn't wait for the ghost to say anything else and immediately spoke hastily.

  "Uh, I forgot I had something else to take care of, see you later."

  After finishing speaking, the ghostly figure hastily left, its flustered appearance couldn't help but raise suspicions in people's hearts.

  At least, it made Han Xi's eyes doubt.

  The ghostly figure merely furrowed its brow and quickly withdrew the gaze that had fallen on You Yue, instead fixing it on Han Xi's eyes.

  After all, he had always been indifferent and uncaring towards anyone, but only except for this little woman in front of him...

  Hanhee's eyes, which were puzzled by Yuweol's strange reaction, turned around and met the deep, affectionate gaze of Eagle's eyes, and her face immediately became flustered.

  But then she thought of her coming here to settle accounts with him!

  Han Xi's small face suddenly tensed up, her eyebrows furrowed and her eyes blazed with anger as she prepared to unleash a torrent of abuse at the man who had brought her here without her consent. But then her gaze fell on his hand, which was still bleeding profusely, and her anger instantly dissipated, replaced by a look of concern and a cry of alarm.

  "Your hand is still bleeding!"

  "Help me bandage it."

  "Okay... Uh..."

  After finishing the sentence, Han Xi's eyes finally reacted to what she had said. In an instant, her pretty face turned red, and then she met Gui Mie's smiling eagle-like eyes.

  She had originally planned to back down, but unexpectedly, Gui Mie seemed to have anticipated this move and immediately sent someone to fetch the medicine box.

  That speed is really fast!

  Han Xi's eyes paused for a moment, speechless. However, she wasn't someone who went back on her words either; it was just helping him bandage his wound again wouldn't cost her much, after all, she had helped him bandage many wounds before.

  Thinking of this, Han Xi's eyes didn't feel anything anymore.

  ……

  Shui Shang Ting, made of white jade inlaid pieces.

  The silk curtain hangs down to the ground inside the pavilion. There is a white jade stone table and four stone stools, very simple but elegant!

  It's just that in the summer, staying here is cool and refreshing, but now it's the coldest winter, Han Xi Tong had just walked in and was already shivering with cold, I really don't know if the ghost is playing tricks on her, bringing her to this place.

  Actually, she misunderstood the ghost.

  Ghosts and demons don't care about spring, summer, autumn or winter, they all like to come here, alone and quietly. Although it's very cold in the winter, he doesn't mind at all.

  After all, the cold can sober him up!

  However, when he saw Han Xi's eyes cold and trembling, his eyes involuntarily flashed a hint of self-blame.

  How could he forget? Han Xi Tong was different from him; she was afraid of the cold.

  Thinking of this, the ghost immediately had several stoves placed around the Water Pavilion, warming up the originally cold and frozen Water Pavilion to a cozy temperature.

  She didn't say anything, but the ghostly light was aware of her abnormality from a slight movement, making Han Xi's face stunned and his heart filled with a thread of emotion.

  He really isn't Cheng Wei, and he's really different.

  Wasn't it when she was with Cheng Wei that he had never been so meticulous in treating her?!

  And yet, isn't he supposed to be a ruthless and heartless killer? But why is he being so gentle with her?

  Han Xi Tong is not a heartless person, she can also be moved, but she doesn't want to be tied down by these things anymore.

  Although the ghost is actually not bad, he is too overbearing.

  Moreover, having been hurt by love, she doesn't know if she can still open her heart to love someone.

  So, towards Gui Mie's thoughtful actions, Han Xi only pursed her red lips tightly and didn't say much.

  It was just a gesture of the ghost sitting down, and then he himself sat down on the stone bench, opened the medicine box on the stone table, and slowly bandaged the wound on the ghost's finger.

  Although the ghostly martial arts were not weak, it was not difficult to catch the blow of You Yue with just two fingers. Unfortunately, this time You Yue had a must-kill determination towards Han Xi Tong, and his attack exceeded his previous standards. As a result, although the ghost caught it, the space between his two fingers was still scratched by the silver thread, with a wound that went in two inches deep. Seeing this, Han Xi Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Are you stupid? Why use your hands to block his attack, I can actually dodge it."

  Although You Yue's move was extremely fast, her martial arts skills were not weak either, and she could definitely dodge his attack.

  Han Xi Tong thought to herself, her mouth not full as she spoke to Gui Mie, but she didn't notice at all that the way she scolded and complained to Gui Mie was like a little wife being considerate of her husband.

  However, just because she didn't notice doesn't mean others haven't noticed.

  Hearing Han Xi Tong's words and looking at her tightly furrowed eyebrows, with an unpleasant expression in her eyes, Gui Mei's heart felt as if it had been filled with honey, sweet and pleasant.

  Is she concerned about him?

  It's so wonderful to be cared about by others.

  It seems that apart from his deceased mother, it was her concern that moved him the most.

  In the past, when I first entered the Luocha Pavilion, no one would care about me at all. Even if it was the tyrant Tian, he would only regard me as a chess piece.

  Until he ascended to the position of Lord of the Luo Xuan Pavilion, even if others showed concern for him, it was always mixed with flattery and not genuine.

  But at this moment, looking at the young woman in front of him with a face full of accusation and discontent, he felt an indescribable joy.

  Especially when her soft fingers gently shuttled through his hands, occasionally, her warm and soft fingers would touch his skin.

  Although it was very slight, yet each of her touches brought him an indescribable shock.

  The warmth that came from her fingers was like a tingling electric current that ran through his entire body, and the faint scent of roses that wafted up to his nostrils made his heart skip a beat.

  If possible, he would rather be hurt a little more for her, so that she could stay by his side for a while longer.
