A love between gods and ghosts has no future, now and forever. Even if he is the lord of a realm, even if he can destroy heaven and earth, I am ultimately a god.
“Shu Shu,” Mu Chuan’s voice suddenly turned cold, his fingertips sliding from my neck to my collarbone, chilling me, “If I remove your immortal bones, you will no longer be a divine being. Would you stay in the Ghost Realm with me?”
Before the last syllable fell, I almost rolled out of his embrace, trembling: “No.”
I absolutely could not let him have this idea. If my immortal bones were truly removed, apart from the pain, and the fact that I could never be an immortal again, staying in a place with such ghostly air, with someone who no longer loved me – I absolutely could not bear it!
Mu Chuan’s tone grew even colder: “I do not like others refusing me, especially you.”
“No…” I protested softly again. I was truly afraid he would do such a thing. The thought of becoming like that made me feel life was worse than death. “If you don’t want me to hate you, don’t do this. I beg you…”
Mu Chuan was silent for a moment before coldly saying: “Who taught you the etiquette of spying on your brother’s room in the middle of the night?”
I was startled, sitting up and looking at the shadow outside the paper door – Mu Yin? I lowered my head to look at my wrist, where the red thread had already appeared.
But I didn’t expect… this kind of danger.
Even with a thousand mouths, I couldn’t explain myself now.
The voice outside the door was thin: “Su Su?”
“I’m here.”
I was about to get out of bed when Mu Chuan stopped me, laughing softly: “You want to meet him looking like this?”
Only then did I remember that my clothes had been torn. Going out now would raise suspicions.
“Su Su? Are you… okay?”
“No, no.” I gritted my teeth. “After applying medicine for your brother, I’ll go back.”
Mu Yin sighed: “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Mu Chuan suddenly spoke: “Your sister-in-law has been exhausted for too long. Put away your childish thoughts and quickly leave the Pear Garden.”
