Chapter 364: Expressing the Heartfelt Feelings in Huiwu Palace

Hui Wu never thought that one day he would be summoned by the Demon Lord.

But he couldn't be happy at all.

I don't know when it started, but Hui Wu found it increasingly difficult to accept his identity as a demon. It all seemed to have started when he was stabbed by Ban Xia's strange light. Something seemed to have changed deep inside Hui Wu.

It is no longer extraordinary strength, no longer an obsession that is hard to let go, but a desire.

eager?

What is he longing for?
Hui Wu himself couldn't figure it out. He thought he was probably sick, but could demons also get sick?

Since coming to the demon world, Huiwu has also learned a lot about the demons.

The demons also have witch doctors, but they only know how to treat injuries. Because for thousands of years, no demon has ever been sick, and they don’t even know what “disease” is.

But Huiwu is different. He was a human who fell into the devil's ways. His nature is different from theirs, so who knows if he will get sick?

Although he got what he wanted, Hui Wu lived in extreme pain over the past three years.

Hui Wu wanted to get rid of this feeling very much, but his identity was not tolerated in the demon world. Every time he went to ask witch doctors, those witch doctors ignored him and looked down on him.

Although one could not necessarily tell what the demons' expressions were, Hui Wu could sense it from their eyes and their words.

Hui Wu naturally knew about Ling Xiang's arrival in the Demon Realm. He had also wanted to go find Ling Xiang. After all, they were both demons and came from the human world, so he thought Ling Xiang would not ignore him.

But Huiwu couldn't find an opportunity.

Firstly, there was a huge disparity in their identities. Even if Hui Wu wanted to, he might not be able to see Ling Xiang. Secondly, the two had a feud before. Although Hui Wu was acting on orders, he did kill her at that time.

Huiwu didn't believe that Lingxiang would be magnanimous enough to forgive him, and Lingxiang was indeed a person who held grudges.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

But unexpectedly, the opportunity came to me.

The Demon Lord sent Hui Wu to Ling Xiang's side, nominally to provide close protection and take care of her food and daily life, but the Demon Lord's words implied that he wanted Hui Wu to keep a close eye on Ling Xiang.

In the beginning, Hui Wu intended to get close to Ling Xiang, but every time he wanted to speak, he either backed off in fear or Yinghuan showed up at an inopportune moment and gave up the idea.

Lingxiang was usually in her own room, and Huiwu could not get close to her room. The rare time they saw each other was when she was dealing with Yinghuan.

A well-maintained demon palace was thrown into chaos by these two people all day long.

Of course, there are neither chickens nor dogs in the demon world, but it is a mess all day long.

Hui Wu once thought that he might have trusted the wrong person, but sometimes the feeling that Lingxiang gave him was so irresistible.

I don't know how many days had passed, but finally one day, Yinghuan was sent out by Lingxiang. Although no one knew what she was asked to do, in the entire Shiyang Palace, Huiwu was the only person close to Lingxiang.

After all, he was sent to protect the demon princess closely.

Coincidentally, Lingxiang finally walked out of her house.

In fact, Lingxiang did it on purpose. She had already seen Huiwu's hesitation to speak. According to Lingxiang's temperament, she didn't want to pay attention to him, but there were some people around her, even if they were not trustworthy, she couldn't let them become a hidden danger.

"I've bought you a stick of incense's time. Just say whatever you want to say!" Lingxiang sat there with a gloomy face.

It's not that Lingxiang is being arrogant, it's just that she can't relax when she sees Huiwu. "Are you feeling sorry for me?" Huiwu felt so uncomfortable when he heard that. Although he did need Lingxiang's help, Lingxiang gave him the feeling that she looked down on him.

What's wrong with him?

Lingxiang did not answer, but only looked at Huiwu with scrutiny - is this man sick? It seems that he is seriously ill...

She had found the opportunity for him with good intentions. It would have been fine if he wasn't grateful, but why was he acting like a firecracker?

In this world, it is really hard to be a good person!
Hui Wu saw Ling Xiang's expression and felt that she looked down on him. This immediately reminded him of the days in the Tai Shang Sect, when he had to endure such torment but had no choice but to endure it.

But now he has the ability! He can do whatever he wants, he doesn't need to be pitied, nor does he need to rely on others!
"I just want to improve my cultivation, what's my crime? Why do those people with prominent family backgrounds have such an honor? How dare Shao Xunxuan order me around? Why does Zhao Wuyang win the favor of Elder Qianyuan? How can I be worse than him?" Hui Wu screamed and roared, as if all his persistence collapsed at this moment. He was full of resentment. He looked at Lingxiang with red eyes, and suddenly his tone changed, which was unusually gloomy. "Look at me now, neither human nor devil, isn't it particularly relieved?"

At this moment, Hui Wu's emotions finally exploded, like a flood that was out of control, as if all his compromises and unwillingness to be mediocre were vented out.

Lingxiang had a calm expression on her face, as if the person she was facing was the same stubborn young man on the martial arts stage long ago.

After a long while, Lingxiang finally sighed. She remembered a sentence in the notes of Fairy Tu Mi: It is easy to save a life, but difficult to heal a heart.

The person in front of me was still a child when he made mistakes. No one told him what he did wrong, and no one ever told him why it was wrong, so he kept making mistakes again and again.

What she needs to do now is to heal Hui Wu's heart.

"I don't feel happy or relieved that you have ended up like this, and I don't think you have done anything wrong."

Hearing this, Hui Wu's bony face was filled with disbelief, and he was unable to react for a moment, as if he didn't believe his ears, or didn't believe what Ling Xiang said.

"You...what did you say?"

"I said, I don't think there is anything wrong with you." Lingxiang said, turning around and looking out the window, "It's true that Wuyang has his strengths, so Senior Brother Qianyuan is interested in him, and Senior Brother Luying is also kind-hearted, so Senior Uncle Lieyang favors him. In this way, I am not mocking you for being vicious. On the contrary, when I first saw you on the martial arts stage, I felt that you are actually a promising talent..."

Hui Wu was surprised when he heard this, and his demonized face became even more ferocious.

"But everyone's path is different, so the experiences will also be different. Just because a talented person pays attention to you does not mean that they are affirming your ability. Maybe the mission given by heaven is for you to explore on your own. Think about Senior Brother Chi Yanzi. He was just a nominal disciple of my mother. After my mother died, many years later, did he become a disciple of anyone else?"

"I don't judge the path you choose. It's your own choice. Whether it's right or wrong is determined by fate. But you have to know that when a baby learns to speak, he also learns to walk through bumps and bruises. Who is not wrong?"

Lingxiang suddenly turned around and looked at Huiwu. His bloodshot eyes seemed to relax a lot, and gradually became more spirited.

"As for you harming me," Lingxiang smiled, "you and I are just mortals seeking immortality. The seven emotions and six desires are normal. Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, evil and desire are inevitable. So it is inevitable that desires arise from ignorance and hatred arises from desire. Although I can't say that I have forgiven you, I don't take it to heart at all. If I were you, I might not be as courageous as you."

"In my opinion, the stubbornness on the martial arts stage is your outstanding feature. It's just that you are confused by the situation and have never seen yourself clearly, so you have gone astray. But so what? Maybe this is your calamity. Why can't you see it clearly? Look at me. I have lived for more than ten years before I realized that the reason why I have a residual spiritual root is because of my mother. I will never become an immortal in this life. So what? The moon and the sun will reincarnate as usual. Since the immortal path is unattainable, I don't care about it. What's the point?"

After such a heart-to-heart talk, Hui Wu was speechless. After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice:

"Do you really think so?"

Lingxiang looked at him with a calm expression.

"I'm serious, I'm not lying!"

Eight out of ten things in life are not as we wish, but this is not an excuse to sink into despair.

"This is the path you have chosen. Even if you know it is wrong, as long as you can keep going, even if you run into obstacles and face difficulties, you cannot blame others, let alone allow others to interfere."

"Because you are you, and there is only one you in this world."
