Tavern of the Spear: Desire for Pleasure

At this moment, Cheng Yu, who was in the mental hospital, was actually in very good health and had not died. The medical staff member was just sent by Bo Wen to deliberately tell Yun false information.

At this moment, Cheng Yu had been moved to a very comfortable room, though it was definitely not the best room in the entire mental hospital.

At this moment, Cheng Yu also woke up from his coma, swaying unsteadily. He felt very sore all over his body. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by Bo Wen's over-the-shoulder throw.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu became angry again. Looking at the monotonous white room around him, he became even angrier. He went to the closed door and shook it repeatedly, trying to get out. He kept shouting, "I'm not mentally ill. I, Bowen, am a liar. Let me out!"

But no one responded to him. After all, he had come to a mental hospital. Which medical staff hadn't seen this situation before? They would just assume that this was a case of a mental patient having another episode.

The situation in this special ward is naturally something the attending physician should handle, since they've heard that the person locked up in this ward managed to break free from the restraints of several strong men.

They dared not try to calm Chen Yu down, for they were all afraid of losing their lives.

However, Cheng Yu's door was soon opened, and he was about to rush out, but a slender hand pushed him back into the ward.

Cheng Yu was instantly enraged when he saw Bo Wen in his protective suit. He was about to step forward and hit him with a brick, but Bo Wen didn't seem to turn around, so he could only use his fist.

Bowen deftly dodged Cheng Yu's attack, his other hand swiftly reaching out to precisely grab Cheng Yu's wrist. With a slight exertion, Cheng Yu felt a piercing pain and couldn't help but groan. Bowen then twisted Cheng Yu's arm behind his back, firmly controlling him.

“Cheng Yu, violence won’t solve anything.” Bo Wen’s voice remained calm, as if the conflict just now was a trivial matter to him. “You need to calm down and receive proper treatment.”

Cheng Yu struggled, trying to break free from Bo Wen's control, but found himself completely immobilized. He glared at Bo Wen, his eyes burning with fury. "You! You liar! Let me go!"

Bowen ignored Cheng Yu's shouts, simply pushing him back into the ward and gently closing the door. He turned around and smiled slightly at the nurses outside, who were already stunned. "It's alright, everyone go back to work."

The nurses, relieved, quickly dispersed, no longer daring to approach the dangerous ward. Bo Wen stood at the door, quietly listening to Cheng Yu's angry roar coming from inside the ward, a barely perceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

In the hospital room, Cheng Yu furiously pounded on the walls, venting his rage. He felt like a wild beast trapped in a cage, desperate and helpless. He didn't know why he was there, nor when he could leave. He only knew that he had to find a way to escape this terrible place.

He walked to the bedside, slumped down, and buried his face in his hands, groaning in pain. He felt like his head was about to explode, his thoughts a jumbled mess. He began to recall everything that had happened in the past, those beautiful memories that had now become his deepest torment.

He recalled the scene of meeting Aolian in that world, the days they adventured, fought, and laughed together. Those beautiful memories now felt like sharp knives, piercing his heart.

He thought of his master, that kind and gentle master, that good master who was always willing to listen to his heart, that black dragon who gave him encouragement and support.

All of this was because of that despicable Bowen, and he had to take revenge, even though he was as insignificant as an ant in front of him.

Every time Cheng Yu thought of Bo Wen, that hypocritical devil, the culprit who destroyed everything he had, he was filled with hatred for Bo Wen. He vowed to take revenge and make Bo Wen pay the price.

He looked up at the gray sky outside the window, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness. He didn't know what to do, or if he still had any hope.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door. He quickly got up, went to the door, and listened anxiously to the sounds outside. He hoped it was Yun coming to rescue him, and that she could take him away from this terrible place.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, finally stopping at his door. The door was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared before him.

It means being knowledgeable.

A flash of anger crossed Cheng Yu's eyes. He clenched his fist, preparing to attack Bo Wen again. However, Bo Wen ignored him and simply walked straight to his bedside and sat down.

“Cheng Yu, I know you’re in pain.” Bo Wen’s voice remained calm, as if he hadn’t seen the anger in Cheng Yu’s eyes. “I know you want to leave here and go back to your old life.”

Cheng Yu sneered. "Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"

Bowen ignored Cheng Yu's sarcasm and continued, "I know you have a big misunderstanding about me. I know you think I ruined everything for you. But I hope you can understand that everything I did was for your own good."

"For my own good?" Cheng Yu laughed angrily. "You locked me up in this godforsaken place, and you say it's for my own good? Are you playing me?"

Bowen shook his head. "No, Chengyu, you've misunderstood me. I locked you up here to protect you, to keep you away from those dangers."

"Danger?" Cheng Yu's eyes were full of mockery as he looked at Bo Wen with amusement. "What danger? Aren't you the greatest danger in the world?"

Listening to Bo Wen's high-sounding words, Cheng Yu felt a wave of nausea wash over him. He stared intently at Bo Wen's hypocritical face, wanting nothing more than to pounce on him and tear him to pieces. But he knew he was no match for Bo Wen now, so he could only suppress his anger and listen as Bo Wen continued to spew those disgusting lies.

Seeing the suppressed anger on Cheng Yu's face, Bo Wen suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain. He casually lay back on the recliner in the room, picked up a bottle of drink from the counter, and downed it in one gulp.

"What more do you want, you idiot?" Bo Wen put down his drink, his eyes sharpening, his tone filled with sarcasm. "Do you know how much your master has sacrificed for you? They didn't want you to get involved in this conflict, they wanted you to leave forever, to create a peaceful environment for you. Why are you so determined to go back?"

At this point, Bowen suddenly became agitated. He abruptly sat up from the recliner, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at Cheng Yu through gritted teeth, "I hate you! I hate that you treated your own master like this!"

After shouting those words, Bowen burst into laughter again, the sound echoing in the room, sounding particularly jarring. Cheng Yu knew that the "master" Bowen referred to was his kind and gentle master. Although Cheng Yu knew that what Bowen said was true, how could he choose to forget?

Cheng Yu's heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. He knew that Bo Wen was deliberately provoking him, but he couldn't control his emotions. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he still couldn't suppress the anger and pain in his heart.

"Shut up!" Cheng Yu roared, his voice hoarse and weak. "You know absolutely nothing! What right do you have to judge my choices? What right do you have to make decisions for my master?"

Bo Wen looked at Cheng Yu's hysterical state, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his lips. "Because I understand the master-disciple relationship better than you! Because I understand them better than you! If it were me, I would listen to my master and change my life! Instead of being as foolish as you, beyond redemption!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Cheng Yu roared. "Then why did you betray Heize?! Why did you choose a path he didn't agree with? I know you must have your reasons! But is that your reason for taking away someone else's happiness?!"

Bo Wen's smile gradually vanished, replaced by an icy coldness. "Difficulties? Deception? You're so naive! Do you think your master is some kind of saint? He's just like you, a pathetic wretch driven by desire and greed, and your master has now become a slave to desire!"

Cheng Yu was deeply stung by Bo Wen's words. He felt his faith crumbling and the beliefs he had always held dear were wavering. He closed his eyes in anguish, tears streaming down his face.

Bo Wen stood up, walked up to Cheng Yu, and looked down at him. "Cheng Yu, give up! You can't beat me! Your master has abandoned you; you have nothing left!"

Cheng Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with defiance and stubbornness. "I won't give up! I must find my master, I must find out the truth!"

Bo Wen sneered. "The truth? Do you really want to know the truth? Can you really bear the cruelty of the truth?"

Cheng Yu nodded without hesitation. "Whatever the truth is, I want to know!"

Looking at the stubborn Cheng Yu before him, Bo Wen suddenly stood up and burst into maniacal laughter. "I'm afraid you can't accept this truth!" He laughed until his whole body trembled, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a chilling coldness spread through the air.

Cheng Yu also stood up, pointing a trembling finger at Bo Wen, and said, word by word, "You wicked seed, no matter what you say, I will never completely believe you! Because I know that all of this is fabricated by you to wear down my will!"

Bowen scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt. "Really? Then how much do you think you know about your master? Do you know what he gave up for you?" He paused, his tone becoming low and sinister. "For you, he gave up his divinity and became an ordinary black dragon with only a little magic."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu was struck dumb, as if by lightning. He couldn't believe his ears. His revered master had actually given up his divinity for him? How could this be?

“Impossible…” Cheng Yu muttered to himself, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief. “My master is omnipotent, how could he…”

Looking at Cheng Yu's shocked expression, Bo Wen's lips curled into a cruel smile. "How could he not? He would do anything for you. He loves you more than anything, even more than himself."

"Love me?" Cheng Yu shook his head with a bitter smile. "If this is love, then I'd rather not have it."

Bowen walked up to Chengyu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hint of pity in his voice, "Chengyu, you are too naive. Nothing in this world is permanent, including love. Your master's love eventually became a shackle that bound you."

Cheng Yu shoved Bo Wen's hand away, his eyes filled with anger. "Shut up! You have no right to talk about my master, you have no right to talk about love!"

Bowen wasn't angry; he just smiled faintly. "Chengyu, you still don't understand. Your master's love has turned you into a coward, a coward who only knows how to escape reality."

"I'm not a coward!" Cheng Yu roared. "I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt because of me!"

Bowen shook his head, his eyes filled with disappointment. "You're wrong, Chengyu. Running away from reality will only hurt more people. Do you think you can protect the people you love by hiding here? You're wrong! You'll only make them worry more and suffer more."

Cheng Yu fell silent. Bo Wen's words were like sharp thorns, piercing his heart. He knew Bo Wen was right, but he couldn't change himself. He was afraid to face reality, afraid to lose the person he loved.
