"Go to hell!" Liang Xi Yao spat out just three words.
Confess? It didn't make sense, they'd kill her anyway. And hoping that the demonic cultivators would spare her or grant her a painless death is exactly the same as believing in good, which should defeat evil.
To put it simply, it was impossible.
Unlike Su Mingyue, who was kneeling silently and seemed to be flying in the clouds, she accepted what was happening.
That was the world. The strong eats the weak, that's the truth!
"But even if today is my last day in the world of the living, just one more look at it..." She thought.
After not receiving the expected response from Liang Xi Yao, the old man frowned a little and shifted his gaze to Su Mingyue.
"What do you say? Think about it, a quick death is much better than dying in agony..."
"What am I going to say?" Su Mingyue chuckled sadly to himself.
The world he was currently in was just a figment of his imagination. Names, personal biographies, or pasts were things that could never be learned.
"Just kill..." Su Mingyue replied dryly.
With a smile on his face, the old man walked over and plunged his sword into Liang Xi Yao's throat. He laughed:
"To put it simply, this woman's identity is Su Mingyue's wife!"
Su Mingyue felt chills all over his body. After killing the girl without a single hesitation, the old man was still laughing and joking, it seemed like he didn't care what had just happened.
"It's a pity that your dead wife wasn't very talkative. If she said a few more words, maybe she lived a little more"
"You..." Su Mingyue clenched his fists tightly, he told himself that this was just a dream. A nightmare that is just imagination and not reality, so there is no need to take what is happening so seriously.
But looking at Liang Xi Yao's cold body and feeling emotions like anger, rage, and hatred overwhelm his heart, he became confused.
"It's just a dream..." Su Mingyue repeated to himself like a mantra.
"You must be very angry, are you dreaming of killing me?" Seeing Su Mingyue's expression, the old man laughed again:
"You could have had a happy family, but she died very quickly"
"Why is that? Why didn't you kill me first? Does heaven hate me so much that they want to show me how miserable a life can get even worse..." For the first time in a long time, Su Mingyue honestly expressed his true feelings.
If all his suffering had happened in real life before, now the dream could become even worse than reality.
"Why did I kill her first? Maybe because I hate those bastards from the righteous path, I don't know. Or maybe I just like watching you overflowing with hate and blaming yourself for her death" The elderly man spread his arms wide.
"As for your second question. Does heaven hate you? Don't be ridiculous, based on your past and recent successes, we can safely assume that you are their favorite!"
"Well, yes..." Su Mingyue muttered softly, and a faint smile of helplessness appeared on his face.
Any luck lately? If a brain tumor is considered a success, then he was clearly heaven's favorite.
The performance, which had been going on for so long, seemed to be heading towards the expected finale. The old man took out a small blade from his belt and stood behind Su Mingyue and shouted:
"Su Mingyue for violating the laws of the demonic path, colluding with righteous sects, and violating the taboos of the cultivation world. He is sentenced to immediate execution!"
Tens of thousands of spectators sitting in the stands finally got what they came for. They all shouted loudly for the old man to kill him quickly.
Without making the crowd wait any longer, the elderly man swung his blade and slashed down hard, wanting to cut off Su Mingyue's head.
"How I hate everything..." A single thought flashed through Su Mingyue's mind before he vision began to blur and the loud sounds intertwined into a whisper.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
After the black veil cleared, the first thing the young man saw was the white ceiling of his own apartment.
Looking at the familiar outline of the room, Su Mingyue felt a sense of security. The worries overflowing in his heart had slightly dissipated, but his lips were pale from what had happened in the dream.
Although he understood that he had received the material to write the next chapters of his book, he was not at all happy.
A few deep breaths calmed his wildly beating heart.
"It's a coincidence once, but twice in a row..." Su Mingyue opened the pack and silently lit a cigarette. He was currently sensing an impending crisis.
If in the first nightmare he saw little and watched like a viewer watching a movie, then the second was a complete immersion.
It was as if the man with the same name was himself.
The feelings felt for the girl named Liang Xi Yao and the pain coming from the depths of her soul at her death could not be attributed to imaginary ones.
As if the dream wasn't a dream, but an alternate reality.
The grief that overwhelmed his soul did not disappear, and even the silence in the apartment only plunged into a gloomy atmosphere.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mingyue turned on his phone and stared at the screen, stunned.
"Did I sleep for 10 hours?" The local time was 15:00, deciding that the time on the phone could be lost, he looked at his pocket watch, but it was identical to the phone.
"I guess I'm thinking too much..." After experiencing a lot of stress over the past night, Su Mingyue felt that he had become too suspicious.
After lighting another cigarette, the young man typed "The Immortal's Dream" into the search and clicked on the link to open the page of his book.
[After reading the only chapter, I felt sorry for the main character, how can a person be so unhappy?]
[I'm sorry for the expression, but the author did a hell of a job in the prologue. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the continuation of the story!]
[Oh my God, I'm guessing the main character might have had complications due to a brain tumor and everything he saw was just a hallucination...]
The comments section was filled with various questions, guesses, and requests to update the novel. Su Mingyue ignored everything, only he knew that what he wrote was happening in reality and did not think it was worth giving an explanation to everyone.
But, looking at the rapid growth in popularity after the first chapter, he realized that in fact everything is not as bad as it seems. Literally overnight, the book gained more than a thousand views and dozens of readers with positive reviews.
