Seeing his expression, Zong Chengsi was almost scared out of his wits.
The pain left over from the dream seemed to resurface in his heart, his teeth chattering.
Before he passed out, he only heard a light sentence.
“Since your mouth is so useless, your tongue must be a decoration. Let’s pull it out then.”
He’s gone mad. Zong Chengsi thought.
To lay hands on a prince was an undeniable capital crime.
Earlier, Yu Beizhou felt that his chest was slightly calmer, and he went straight to the Great Witch Temple.
The witch who had received the order had already seen strange things and directly took this distinguished guest ordered by the Great Witch to the Witch Building where the Great Witch was.
Helping Yu Beizhou clean up the mess again, and the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony, the Great Witch was seriously injured. It would not be easy to recover without three to five years. So after the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony today, he handed over all the important matters in the Great Witch Temple to the witch who would succeed the next Great Witch, and he squatted in the Witch Building to heal his injuries quietly.
Unexpectedly, he waited for Yu Beizhou just in the evening.
The Great Witch was silent for a long time, and said hoarsely, “Has your backlash ended?”
The immortal method of time reversal was a big taboo for mortals to touch, even for the caster. The Great Witch still felt extremely uncomfortable now, and even spit out blood during the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony.
“Oh, that, not yet.”
Yu Beizhou said indifferently, “It’s not very painful, and it doesn’t affect movement.”
Great Witch: “?”
Looking at the young man in red and white fur who was jumping around and could even use lightness skill, he couldn’t help but doubt his life.
Is it that young people are too good now, or is he already halfway in the grave? Why is the pain between people so different?
“Hey, old man, what did you want to tell me yesterday?”
Yu Beizhou asked impatiently, looking like a bratty kid in the eyes of the Great Witch.
Isn’t he just a bratty kid? The Great Witch has lived for decades, never entered the world, and had always been an object of respect and admiration by everyone. Even when Emperor Yuan saw him, he had to give him some face and respectfully call him ‘gentleman’. (TL: can also be “sir, teacher, mister etc.)
Only this former Son of Heavenly Way would call him an old man as soon as he came up, without any respect, and even dared to threaten him.
But then again, every Great Witch who had accepted the inheritance of the former Great Witch would become emotionally indifferent, so his temper was really good. In addition, although he was the former Son of Heavenly Way, the Great Witch dared not provoke him, so he had to pinch his nose and admit defeat, and honestly help.
With Yu Beizhou’s appearance, if he wasn’t the Son of Heavenly Way, he would have been beaten to death sooner or later.
The Great Witch said in a good temper, “Didn’t the Third Highness tell you?”
Yu Beizhou’s face changed slightly in an instant.
Looking at his expression, he obviously didn’t know about this. The Great Witch was a bit puzzled, “After I finished casting the spell last night and didn’t see you, I gave the medicine to the Third Highness and asked him to deliver it to you.”
He looked at Yu Beizhou standing in front of him, “You must have taken the medicine.”
The backlash from repairing the array was fierce. If there was no medicine, Yu Beizhou, no matter how painless, wouldn’t be able to take another step.
For the first time, the bratty kid in red and white fur didn’t make a sound.
So it really was him.
The scent in the room was right, and his intuition was right.
Someone really helped him carefully put on his clothes, bandaged his wounds, and brought him from the dark room to a comfortable and warm bed.
Yu Beizhou was a bit dazed.
Almost the moment he thought of it, some sporadic fragments flashed back quickly.
Hands covered in blood, a neck full of kiss marks, hands around his neck and shoulder, section of coccyx, sunken ravines, and layers upon layers, something advancing through a layer of clothing.
The suppressed panting in a moment of urgency, hands clasped together, the violent storm.
And the unconscious utterance, the most fearful words in the heart, the blurred and anxious soul, the cold stairs and chains that couldn’t be restrained.
They swept over Yu Beizhou’s mind like a tide.
In a place with darkness as the background, there was a sense of uncontrolled madness.
There was no disgust, no bloody wounds, and even no hatred.
The voice of the Great Witch gradually became clear, “Since the Third Highness didn’t tell you, he must not have told you about the two omissions.”
“His Majesty won’t dream of it, but there are two other people who are bound to the fate who will dream of this. The time should be in these few days, you need to pay more attention.”
After a long time, Yu Beizhou said in a low voice, “Okay.”
A sense of panic suddenly rose.
Never before had Yu Beizhou been so clearly aware that he might have missed something.
Or maybe he missed something forever.
