Chapter 116: If you die, I won't live alone either

  "That's right, fifteen years ago when we first entered the sect, Huangfu Ce was already dominating the arena. Ding Yuexian let out a soft sigh: "His talent may be slightly inferior to Dongfang's, but he is also an extremely rare existence. Having cultivated for ten more years than us, he is now a fourth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator."

  His face was gloomy and his eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, he said in a low voice: "He's looking for death." His heart suddenly became violent.

  "Junior brother, don't do anything rash. He's not just any ordinary small fry. The entire Tianmo Palace is backing him up, especially now that Tianmo Daren has recently advanced to the Yuan Ying stage and his aura is at its peak. If you secretly make a move and get caught, even Master won't be able to protect you." Ding Yuanyan's face changed slightly as she hastily tried to persuade him. Suddenly, her jade-like cheeks flushed with a hint of red, and in a soft, gentle voice, she said: "Lei Dong, don't be angry. No matter if the other party is Tianmo or Tiangong, I, Ding Yuanyan, will absolutely not compromise on this matter, even if it means sacrificing my life..."

  Lei Dong hastily reached out and covered her mouth, lightly scolding: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't put this in your heart, I'll take care of it." After a slight pause, he asked seriously: "Who took the initiative to propose this marriage? What was Master's reaction?"

  Ding Wanyan's face turned red as she pushed away Lei Dong's rogue hand, and only then did she reply: "It was Yang Mu, the acting palace master of Tianmo Palace, who made the proposal. Master would not have agreed to it originally, but he couldn't afford to offend Tianmo Palace, so he just said he'd consider it. But later, Yang Mu added that if Master agreed to the marriage between the two families, Huangfu Ce could become a son-in-law of Wangu Ghost Cave and become one of its people."

  Lei's eyebrows jumped, and Huangfu Ce, although not as dazzling as Yin Xue and Yang Mu, was also a talented young man. Under the guidance of the Tianmo Palace, he had already built a foundation of four layers at a young age. Given time, he might become another Yang Mu. Such a talent, who could become the left and right arm of the Tianmo Palace, or even have the opportunity to establish his own sect, if he were willing to enter the Wangu Ghost Cave, would likely move the heart of his master.

  No wonder, Shifu was worried and afraid that the master would agree to it. If so, it would be difficult to recover. Her face was somewhat gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "What does the master say now?"

  "My master is fine, he says I should respect your wishes. If you don't want to marry him, then don't."

  Ding Wanyan finally said something that made Lei Dong slightly more relaxed. Lei Dong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since the choice is yours, Master, it's much easier."

  "There's nothing simple about this. That Huang Fu Ce is begging Master to give him a chance, and Master has agreed." Ding Yuanyan stomped her foot in disgust: "Recently, that Duan Shidai has been showing up at our Wan Gui Ku for no reason, like a fly that can't be shooed away." She paused, then said with some worry: "What I'm most concerned about is that he's said he wants to take advantage of the Tianmo Lord's Yuanying celebration to personally ask Master to propose. At that time, in front of everyone, Master will either have to reject Tianmo Lord and lose face, or agree. The biggest problem is that Master still has some biases."

  Lei Dong furrowed his brow and coldly laughed a few times: "No matter how big the demon's face is, Master will not allow you to marry a dead person."

  "Junior brother, don't get reckless." Ding Yuanyan's face changed color and she said anxiously: "I can still go ask our ancestor for help, let him take charge."

  Ding Wanyan was worried that Lei Dong would secretly plot against Huangfu Ce and take his life. The Heavenly Demon Lord was not to be compared with the Ghostly Evil, with her current cultivation level and style of doing things. As long as she had some suspicion about Lei Dong, she could completely disregard anyone's opposition and use the Soul Searching Technique on him, reading his memories. Even if she wrongly accused Lei Dong, it would only be like accidentally stepping on an ant, and in the Yin Evil Sect, who could stand up for Lei Dong?

  "Sister, I won't do anything rash. But no matter how you put it, Lei Dong is a man." Lei Dong's expression was solemn and serious, he paused for a moment before speaking in an unprecedentedly solemn tone, his face extremely serious as he slowly said: "I cannot just stand by and watch the woman I have feelings for being treated this way."

  "Awesome!"

  That lovely woman spoke out, and Ding Yuanyu couldn't help but tremble violently. In those moist eyes, they became slightly wet. Many times before, Lei Dong had been evasively avoiding himself. Who knows what he was thinking deep down inside?

  However, Ding Yuanyan could not have imagined that Lei Dong was originally not a person of this world. In this world, despite living every day, he always had a kind of wandering feeling that even he himself could not understand, the idea that he did not belong to this world, which was deeply etched in his mind like a seal. Moreover, in this world full of danger, he lived without a sense of security, and in order to become stronger, live forever, and truly control his own destiny, Lei Dong's heart would subconsciously resist some things such as romantic relationships between men and women.

  However, after that crazy pleasure with the mysterious black-robed woman, she showed extreme indifference afterwards, as if killing him was like crushing an ant. Lei Dong had already gone through a cycle of life and death. The fear of death, complex emotions towards the black-robed woman, hatred and inability to forget. Endless humiliation, and before his "death", Ding Yuanyan appeared in front of Lei Dong's eyes, so clear and profound. Even at that time, he felt a heartache like being pierced by a needle.

  It turns out that Leidong still has to thank the black-robed woman. It was she who, with the great terror of life and death, made Leidong deeply understand that his own existence is very real, and he himself is a member of this world. It's as if she had suddenly dispersed all his feelings of isolation and disconnection.

  "Sister, aren't you worried that Tianmo will take revenge on me? If I defeat him fair and square on the arena and kill him." Lei Dong's face, which was somewhat resolute, was filled with determination: "In that case, even if it's Tianmo, there will be absolutely nothing he can say."

  "Lei Dong, you don't have to... Wuuu~"

  Ding Yuanyan's words were not yet finished, but she was sealed again by Lei Dong. This time, it wasn't with his hand, but rather he suddenly tightly hugged her and pressed his lips heavily onto her soft lips. Ding Yuanyan only struggled slightly before quickly getting lost in his fierce and domineering attack, her eyes closed, her tongue soft, letting him plunder. Her delicate body gradually softened and melted in the heat of his kiss, as if this ice mountain had only ever melted for him.

  After a long while, Leidong finally loosened his grip on her, supporting her fragrant shoulders with one hand, and gazing deeply at her with eyes that were calmer but more profound than before: "Wanyan, don't worry, you also know I'm a coward who fears death. If there wasn't absolute certainty, I would never do such a foolish thing."

  Ding Yuanyan's heart was slightly comforted by his words. Although what he said sounded unpleasant, he indeed was a, well, rather timid person. However, in her opinion, being somewhat afraid of death wasn't a bad thing, especially in this world where there were dangers lurking everywhere. If one were to recklessly charge around like a foolish youth, it wouldn't be as simple as just getting a headache or a bloody nose.

  However, Lei was secretly smiling wryly to himself. Since his transmigration, he had always been cautious and only acted when he was fairly certain of success. But in reality, challenging Huangfu Ce was truly a very reckless thing for him to do. Yet, this matter could not be avoided. With Huangfu Ce's status and position, as long as he was willing to humble himself and sincerely welcome his master, it was possible that his master would agree to come.

  However, if one is also afraid of death in such matters, then what's the point of living? Is it just going through the motions? Of course, Lei Dong didn't have even a slight grasp on this. Moreover, with his eloquence and calculation, he could completely guide the situation to be advantageous for himself. Instead of stupidly rushing forward to fight for life and death, playing solo hero. Even if it's a desperate struggle, one must still use some strategy.

  "Uh-huh, I believe you." Ting Wanyan's eyes were slightly dazed, and she gazed deeply at Lei Dong, saying in a very calm tone: "If you die, I won't live alone either."
