After the apprenticeship, I became a hater

The stars in the sky are sparse, the brilliance is dim, the candles on the ground are sporadic, shadowy, the night is extremely thick, and the entire magic palace is shrouded in deathly silence.

My fingers were tightly clenched in my sleeves. Even though I tried my best not to notice, I still couldn't completely ignore Luo Wuchen's gaze on my back.

As far as I can see, there is a residence with dimly lit candles, and behind me, there is an oppressive, breathless silence. The fingers under my sleeves are trembling, and I am walking forward steadily.

closer, closer...

The courtyard was obviously not big, but the journey back to the house was extremely long for some reason.

——Obviously in the daytime, I thought the yard was too small, and I walked to the end within a few steps...

At some point, everything behind me was completely engulfed by the dark night. I stepped into the room, closed the door, and completely cut off the outside world.

At that moment, I felt my whole body relax.

As if exhausted, I leaned my back against the wall, inhaled deeply, and exhaled long.

It wasn't until this time that I suddenly realized that I had sweated a lot on my back at some point, and my clothes were stuck together.

The light of the candle that has been burning for a long time is gradually fading, and the overlong wick limply falls on the lamp oil like a thin snake without bones.

The candle flickered on and off, I simply washed up, changed my clothes, cut the wick, and climbed onto the bed to rest.

A night without dreams, without a trace.

Except for the longevity lock, there is no trace of Luo Wuchen ever coming to look for me.

Maybe it's because I've rejected him too many times, or maybe it's because Luo Wuchen is looking for him so eagerly in the grass, lest I'll leave at [-]:[-] at night...

When he put the longevity lock in my palm, I accidentally accepted the longevity lock.

I don't know what I thought at the time, maybe I didn't think anything at all.

When I woke up the next day, my dizzy mind regained its composure after a night of rest, and I realized that the longevity lock I was holding in my hand came from Luo Wuchen...

Only then did I realize what kind of hot potato I had accepted.

But I have already accepted it, if I want to pay it back, I have to find Luo Wuchen at least one more time...

I didn't know at the moment whether I would be more deeply involved with Luo Wuchen if I left him, or if I found Luo Wuchen and returned the Longevity Lock.

My thoughts are flying and my sea of ​​consciousness is in a mess. I have thought about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out whether to stay or return it.

I was so ruthless with what I said yesterday, without leaving any room for it, and told Luo Wuchen not to pester me again, and I took the initiative to find him, wouldn't it be...

Haven't you violated yourself?

If I can't even do it myself, how can I ask others to do it?

I put my hand gently on my stomach and remained silent for a long time. In the end, there was only one thought left in my mind.

—I must never seek him.

We can no longer create any opportunities for disconnection and ambiguity.

but……

If I don't return the longevity lock to Luo Wuchen, what should I do with the longevity lock?

If it is possible, I would like to throw it all away.

But when he delivered the things to me, I didn't throw them away at the time, and it would be meaningless to throw them away now.

But if I want to stay, since I have to settle with Luo Wuchen, what's the point of keeping the things he gave me?

Let me think, let me think again...

My eyes fell on a random place without focus, and the fingers holding the longevity lock became tighter and tighter. The slightly raised texture was carved into the palm of my finger, and I finally came back to my senses slowly.

Maybe... I can ask other people to return this longevity lock to Luo Wuchen for me.

And until I find the right one, I'll keep it.

The fetal spirit in the abdomen faintly conveyed a similar peaceful breath, as if it was strangely comforting, telling me that it doesn't matter, it will accompany me.

I lowered my eyelashes and looked at the longevity lock in my hand.

Last night was in a hurry and the night was dark, so I didn't get to take a good look at this longevity lock, and later I ignored it on purpose, never giving it a straight look.

The forging method is similar to the spirit sword that Luo Wuchen gave me last time, as if it came from the same person.

Four words are engraved on it-Joy and Peace.

I gently caressed these words, slightly lost in thought, and suddenly, my eyes froze, and I was stunned.

Because, I recognized that it was clearly... Luo Wuchen's handwriting.

The Longevity Lock and the spirit sword that I left in Zetianzong... were all made by him?

why?

I held it tremblingly, tightening my hands tightly.

………Why?

The pain like a needle prick at the tip of my heart was continuous and dense, and it took a long time for it to fade away.

Suddenly, the expression on my face changed to shock.

In this longevity lock... there seems to be another universe?

I tried to input spiritual power, and then my pupils constricted in astonishment.

Inside the longevity lock is a storage space that is so large that it is difficult to reach the edge for a while.

Mountains of spiritual stones of various colors, magic clothes for self-defense, spiritual grass elixir for healing and nourishment... I almost thought that Luo Wuchen had hidden all his belongings in this little longevity lock , gave it to me.

And... Children's clothes, hats, and toys, from infancy to adulthood, are all organized in a corner in an orderly manner, quietly placed.

I don't know when Luo Wuchen started preparing these things, and I can't imagine what kind of mood he put them into this longevity lock and gave them to me.

He obviously doesn't know...doesn't know that the child in my womb is...he only thinks that the child in my womb belongs to Sangluo Mozun, but he...but still...

My heart throbbed faintly, and even my fingertips began to tremble, and I could hardly hold the longevity lock.

After shaking my fingers for a while, I forced myself to stabilize my mind, gritted my teeth and put away the longevity lock, but my vision was blurred.

Raising his hand to wipe his eyes, he found that his fingertips were stained with transparent water.

I sat there for a long time before I managed to control my emotions.

Then, I found an empty kit, stuffed the Longevity Lock into it, and put it away, not to be distracted by it anymore.

In this way, another day passed, and two months passed before I knew it.

I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that the atmosphere of the magic palace seems to add a strange tension when I don't realize it.

Visible to the naked eye, Sang Luo became more and more busy.

As the only lord of the Demon Realm, he seldom has leisure time, and now it is even worse. It is difficult to see him for a few days, and sometimes he even disappears for more than ten days in a row.

I lived in the magic palace for a few months, and the only person I knew was Sang Luo. He was not there, and I didn't even know who to ask about his whereabouts.

Sang Luo has been the Lord of the Demon Realm for more than a thousand years, but his Demon Palace is a bit empty.

Different from the previous demon kings, Sang Luo neither likes luxury nor indulges in beauty. He has been in power for thousands of years, and his harem is empty all year round. maid.

Whether these magic guards or maids, they all have their own set of rules of conduct, and their daily routines are fixed, even the time is also fixed, and they never stay too long.

I have tried to talk to them and get in touch with them, but they didn't turn a blind eye to me, and they just replied me with a straight line, "I'm on business, I don't intend to neglect." They never communicated with me.

My temperament is introverted, and after a few times, I dare not take the initiative to talk to them.

As a result, there is only one Sang Luo who will talk to me in the entire Demon Palace.

But he is very busy and can't spend time with me often.

Thinking about it carefully, the ones who really accompany me every day are actually the group of demons in my yard.

Sometimes, I feel that these demon spirits are more alive than those demon guard maids.

At night, these monsters will chirp on time, bringing a lively atmosphere to my cold yard.

"That person hasn't come here for a long time."

"He probably won't come."

Since that night, I haven't seen Luo Wuchen again.

I realized belatedly, Luo Wuchen... really let me go.

He won't come to pester me again, he and I...

No more troubles.

With this thought, I felt like my heart was tightly pinched by a hand. After the pain, there was only a layer of sadness left that could not go away.

It became increasingly difficult to maintain peace of mind.

As usual, Moling mentioned Luo Wuchen, and then talked about other things.

When I came back to my senses, the demon had already started discussing my life-long events.

"When will the great beauty marry the Demon Venerable?"

"Could it be after giving birth to cubs? Isn't that too late?"

"yes……"

"Why doesn't Mozun marry the beauty? If he doesn't marry, the beauty will have babies."

I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this, what does this have to do with Sang Luo.

……

Sang Luo kept his promise very much, he promised to provide me with the spiritual power to conceive a child, no matter how busy he is, as long as he has leisure, he will definitely come to me and provide me with the spiritual power to warm and raise the child.

Just like today.

After Sang Luo finished helping me, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his handsome face.

As the baby in my womb grows, the spiritual power required is also increasing. Even if it is Sang Luo, it probably won't be easy to provide so much spiritual power.

I'm not close to him...why does he treat me so well?

Could it be that it is really as those unreliable demon spirits said...

I stopped thinking suddenly, not daring to continue thinking deeply.

"What's the matter?" Sang Luo turned his head to look at me, with affection in his eyes, and a smile in his voice.

I have never been able to hide things in front of him, and after hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't help but confess.

"Do you know that there is a rumor in Demon Realm now?"

"Rumor?" Sang Luo propped his chin with one hand, looked at me with a smile, "You mean the rumor of marriage?"

I was embarrassed, my eyelashes trembled slightly, and I also found it difficult to say, "...Yes."

"If it's possible, I hope it's not a rumor."

"Didn't I tell you?" Sang Luo, "Because I like you, I treat you—"

"love at first sight."

My pupils shrank in shock.

After a long time, I seemed to have found my own voice, and said dryly: "But..."

"Are you worried about the child in your womb?" Sang Luo's expression was unbelievably soft, "We demons don't mind this."

"I like you, and I don't care about your past 20 or [-] years," Sang Luo said softly, looking at me with unblinking amorous eyes, so gentle that he almost drowned.

"What I care about is our future. We will have more 19 years, hundreds of thousands of years..."

While speaking, Sang Luo's warm and affectionate peach blossom eyes kept staring at me, the corners of his lips curled up in a warm arc, and his tone was soft.

"I will love you, protect you, and treat the child in your womb as if it were my own. Will you live with me?"
