Fearing that Tian Shu will ram against thewall again upon waking, I spent thenight sleeping sitting with my upper half resting on thebed. Thenext day I had a bad appearanceunlikea man or a ghost. A few servantscameat thesametimeto urgemeto wash my faceand havea meal. With somedifficulty, they tidied meup to resemblesomething moreakin to a human.

In theafternoon I went to feed Tian Shu medicineagain. Halfway through thebowl of medicine, Tian Shu wokeup and discovered I wasactually using thisdespicablemethod to makehim takemedicineand out of shameand hate, hewanted to bitehistongue. At that moment I barely finished making him drink and haven't raised my head. I pinched hisjaw in a hurry, urgently using my mouth to stuff his. My handsslipped and hisjaw strongly bit down my tongue. Fresh blood oozed out — It unbearably hurt!

Thisimmortal lord'stongueswelled for a few days. I can't talk properly, can only drink cold tea and can't drink hot soup. Tian Shu hasn't madeany movements. Perhapshe vented someanger when hebit me or hefound out after biting histongueseveral timesthat thismethod can't beused.

AsI wasrejoicing internally a maid cameto inform meyoung lord Yan didn't takehismedicine, didn't eat a grain of riceand didn't drink a drop of water. I don't know. Where is Tianshu sinking? 

Let him be hungry, hungry and hungry.

I rubbed my templewhiletalking with my big tongue, "Let him starve. In any case, hunger won't kill him."

Although I talked likethat Mu Ruoyan wasall skin-and-bones...o...b..gin with, starvehim for a few moredays,he'd becomea skeleton. I'm afraidif heever wanted to takea breather from timeto timeand roamed thecourtyard in themiddleof thenight hewould frighten people.

I applied a littlecooling ointment on my tongueand walked to theeastern sideroom. Mu Ruoyan who seemed to only havea breath of life left wa.s.sitting on a chair, hisfacewasa paler shadeof paper white. Heclosed hiseyeswhen hesaw that I camein and pretended to bein meditation.

I biteout thewordsasclearly aspossiblearound my big tongue, "You persistently tried to diebut couldn't, whatever method didn't work well so you went on a hunger strike, right? Thislord heard starved ghostsarenot accepted into thenether world, they'remadeinto roaming soulsthat devour other soulsor a man-eating spirit. Wanting to bewith your relativesor reunitewith general Shan after a hundred years aremere fantasy."

I turned around to go but Tian Shu suddenly spoke, " You arequiteknowledgeablein themattersof the supernatural, young lord Li."

I turned back with a grin, "Therumourssay thislord isthedescended great tiger star. As theWhiteTiger lord I should naturally know a lot about G.o.dsand demons." When I seeTian Shu'sfacemy tonguebegan to hurt more. I did a lot of talking but he'snot responding, I started to step out.

Xu Fengzhong's clothes were flying,     

At night a maid named Luoyueinformed methat young lord Yan had started eating.

Thisimmortal lord wasalso eating right then, hearing thisgood newsI forgot to blow to cool down thehot soup and put it in my mouth. My entire face screamed pain. Luoyuestood by my sideand spokewith red eyes, "Young master, anyonecan seehow good you treated young lord Yan. If only young lord Yan isnot an iron-hearted man, your servant issurethat hewould certainly understand young master'ssincerefeelingstoward him."

Two linesof thisimmortal's old tears nearly flowed down. The moon fell by me, red eyes and two eyes,

My sincerefeelingstoward him. JadeEmperor ah, you really sent me to play around with Tian Shu?

Young lord Yan waseating andwastaking hismedicine. My tonguehealed in thetimethat young lord Yan'sscar disappeared.

Tian Shu wanted to diebut couldn't. Helived no differently than a walking corpse,eyesdevoid of any emotion. Helooked numb, not crying, not smiling, not saying a word, merely following others' instructions. Thisimmortal lord moved him into thebedroom whereweatetogether and slept together; hedidn't eat much, and I didn't forcehim. At night weeach slept on onehalf of thebig bed, helaid motionlesson hissideand I also didn't care for him. Several dayspa.s.sed in thisway, from thevery start to theend, Mu Ruoyan waslikea stagnant pool of water with neither waves nor ripples. I haveonceseen him looking at thepieceof jadehebrought out of hiscollar, only whilelooking at that cut of jadedid a traceof radiancefinally appear in hiseyes.  t h is  is  an  inc o m p le t e  version_    

Hewasundisturbed but I'm required to engulf him in big waves. JadeEmperor sent me to managethelovetrial — not to attend to hiswaking, sleeping and accommodation. In thepast few daysI did hold Mu Ruoyan frequently and said somecorny words, however Mu Ruoyan seemed asthough hehad seen through thesewordsof mine. I would speak and hewould listen, hisbody still asa log.

Oneday I took Mu Rou-yan to therear garden to sit in thepavilion on theYing-xuelake. I knew hedid not liketo beseen by others, so I instructed theattendantsto retireand not comenear if there'snothing important. Mu Ruoyan wa.s.sitting likea lunkhead. No matter what topic you bring up hewouldn't speak, like a wood, utterly vapid. I sat oppositethispieceof human wood-plank speaking for a long timeuntil my mouth and tongue was dry. No onewasaround to attend to us so I had to go get sometea myself.

AsI return to thepavilion clasping theteapot, from a distance, I gazed at thepavilion in a.n.a.lley of flowering shrubs. I saw Mu Ruoyan'shand washolding that pieceof jade, staring at it lost in thoughts.

Thisimmortal felt exulted. Themoment to torment Tianshu had come. Ben Xianjun replayed the teapot on the stone   

Taking largesteps I walked into thepavilion. I heavily put down theteapot on thestonetableand said in a chilly tone, "What wereyou looking at just now?"

Mu Ruoyan raised hiseyesto look at me, thefrantic look wasthereonemoment and gonethenext, then hewasnumb asbefore. Hereplied softly, "Thescenery." where is the intention, in the next bitterness

I smiled with malice. I grabbed hisleft hand, forcefully pried it open then lifted thejadeornament up by itsstring. "What isthis?"

Mu Ruoyan said, "Common ornament in my family." Yunxia was so light that it was in the middle of the sky. 

I held thejadeornament up on my hand, "Common ornament?! Somecommon ornament Shan Shengling gaveyou, huh." Though thisimmortal had never witnessed how a cuckold husband would bellow when he caught his wife having an affair, I'd haveto act from imagination.

I seized Mu Ruoyan'sfrail shoulders, at thesametime, I wa.s.shaking my head, "Wheredoes this Li Si-ming lack compared to that Shan? Thislord treatsyou likethis, yet why doesyour heart and eyesonly havethat Shan Shengling!!"

I admit thesewordsarevery much nauseating, but right now I can't think up any other phrases.

My hand let go and I fell back onestep, adding viciously: "I really don't know if what you said wastrueor false. Sincethispieceof jadeisnothing morethan a common ornament—" I raised my hand and threw in an arc towardsthemiddleof thelake. It madea splash.

Mu Ruoyan'sfaceturned deathly pale, hestood up, letting out a bitter laugh. "I also do not know exactly which of young lord Li'swordsaretrueand which arefalse. Thegentleman hasimprisoned myself in your residence, asfor whereyour intentionslie, thisinferior onefindsit difficult to even muster a guess."

I took you in precisely to torment you, thisis a mystery of heaven, of courseyou can't guessit.

"Oneguessdoesn't quite line up, and neither doesmy other guess. AsI am a major criminal currently chased by thecountry, a person who lookslikea rotten wood, what worth do I haveto deservethe sir'sseveretreatment, that you would spend so much effort to scheme."

Tian Shu ah, theonewho'streating you severely and spent efforts istheelder, JadeEmperor. Thisimmortal isonly working on order, I am also suffering a lot.

Mu Ruoyan gazed at methen suddenly smiled, "Young lord Li, you'renot a cut-sleeve, right."

"Ah? You —" I stared blankly, could hehaveseen through it? My thoughtsfrozeup, no way, thisimmortal acted out thisrole thoroughly. Therecan beno mistakeat all. An old turtle wors.h.i.+pped me at the bottom

Mu Ruoyan watched mewhileleaning on therailings. Hisclothesand sleevesrosein thegentlewind, asthough — asthough thefirst time I wason theseventh layer of theskies. Among thebrightly colored red cloudswasthehigh and lofty Tian Shu Xingjun within a tranquil silver light.

“Li Gongzi, what can you do if you die in the water?”

I haven't snapped out of it yet, Mu Ruoyan already went over therailings, leaping into thelake.

Dear G.o.d, don't tell meMing GeXingjun plotted against mebehind my back? How comewhenever I did anything, Tian Shu had to takehisown lifein return…….

I stared at thewater surfaceand thestrandsof black hair sinking down. I thought; why not let him soak in thewater first? Therewill beno next timeafter hefound hewouldn't diein water. And presumably, even if Tian Shu Xingjun used all eighteen waysto try kill himself oncethrough — no matter how heslit histhroat, jump off a cliff, or drink poison — he'd befished up later and ultimately won't die,but my body and spirit might get broken apart.

In heaven thefirst spell I learnt wasa water-parting technique.

where is Li Siming better than the surname?  

I felt a bit dizzy looking at thewater surface. Tian Shu never floated up but it'sno problem.

Thisimmortal lord had achieved dao so many yearsago, had been high up in heaven and down at theunderworld, how could I fear onelake?1

Throwing off my robesI directly plunged into the water. Thelakewater wasnot politein theslightest, gurgling up into my noseand mouth. I waschoked until I felt faint and my vision blurred, wondering whether my handsor my feet should go out first. In a lakethisbig it'snot clear whereTian Shu dived into.  r e a d   o n   p a  d  a m t l  w  o r d  p r e s s  c o m _  

My earsringing moreand more, head sinking moreand more. Not good, Li Siming can't hold on.

A faint voicerang around my ears, "Song Yao Yuanjun, Song Yao Yuanjun, Tian Shu Xingjun ishere……"

My body wa.s.suddenly light. Thelakewater surrounding meparted opening a four sided largehole. An old turtleon thelakefloor wasbowing hishead and saluted, "Head caretaker of creatures' of thislake, small deity Shou Zhen greetsYuanjun."2

Surprisingly, in a lakeof someking'smansion lived a river G.o.d. I have not returned to G.o.d,  

Even moresurprising, I, thegreat Song Yao Yuanjun, would havedrown in thislakewithout my powers. the blue leaves on the blue,

To theold turtle'ssideMu Ruoyan waslying down, hiseyestightly shut. Theold turtlespoke, "Xingjun swallowed two mouthfulsof water beforefainting, you should givehim breath littleby littleon thesh.o.r.e. Yuanjun, pleasedon't blamethissmall deity not saving him in time."

I cupped my handswith an apologetic smile, "Elder Zhen ismodest, wereit not for you I am afraid even I would diein thislake. My poor performance is laughable."

Theold turtlesaid: "Yuanjun can't fully put forth immortal techniquesand so feared thewater. Thissmall deity hasbeadsof pearl to part water here, if you'd liketo pleaseaccept it, afterwardsyou can comeinto thewater un.o.bstructed."et him first make a bubble in the water,

I said my thanks, received somewater-parting pearls, carried Tian Shu up leaving thewater path and unto thesh.o.r.e. I propped up Mu Ruoyan'shead then began to givehim breath in a way I wasused to. l soak a bubble and know that he is dead.

Just asmy tonguepried open hismouth to givehim breath for thesecond time, suddenly to my sidewasa voice. "Littleuncle, what areyou doing?"

Seize the wife of the tomb of the tortoise husband how to swear by Ben Xianjun did not hear
