Chapter 256 Dilemma
After a long silence, Wei Ying spoke with a sour tone: "Lan Zhan, when our sister showed us the trajectory of my other self's life, I was actually a little disappointed in him and complained that he was so indecisive, ultimately harming himself and others!"
"But when I truly became him and experienced everything from his perspective, I finally understood that, many times, living in this world, being unable to control one's own destiny is the norm!"
"He was simply following his heart and adhering to his own path, but those who are different from the world will eventually be crushed into dust by the tides of the world!"
"Lan Zhan! Heaven is truly ruthless! It wasn't enough that the lightning, as thick as a bucket, cascaded down like a waterfall. In the end, it brought out this immersive, soul-crushing tribulation. If we hadn't paid close attention to tempering our souls during our previous cultivation, and honed our Dao hearts through various types of illusions in the space, and then put it into practice over the past five years, our thoughts would have been relatively clear."
"I'm afraid we're really going to be oblivious and perish in this inner demon tribulation!"
Lan Zhan remained silent in the face of Wei Ying's long string of heartfelt exclamations. He simply tightened his arms around Wei Ying's slender waist, wishing he could meld her into his own body so that he wouldn't have to constantly worry about her getting hurt when he was careless!
But Wei Ying should be an eagle soaring in the sky, a seagull battling the waves, a free and unrestrained breeze. How could he bear to break his wings and cut off his freedom?
Therefore, Lan Zhan quickly suppressed the strong urges that were growing like weeds in his heart and relaxed the force around Wei Ying's waist.
This transition from tension to relaxation happened in the blink of an eye, but it couldn't be hidden from Wei Ying, who was tightly embracing Lan Zhan at that moment.
Upon noticing Lan Zhan's subtle movements, Wei Ying immediately understood the thoughts swirling in his beloved Lan Er-gege's mind, and with a little thought, he could understand the root cause of his current state.
Before he could even feel moved by Lan Zhan's deep and considerate affection, his heart was immediately filled with a piercing pain, a sour feeling, and heartache.
Not only does Lan Zhan feel sorry for Wei Ying's miserable life, which is steeped in bitterness, but he also feels sorry for Lan Zhan, who has been through many trials and tribulations in life!
Wei Ying tilted his head slightly, looking at the ethereal and otherworldly profile of the man so close to him. He opened and closed his mouth several times, racking his brains but unable to find any suitable words to say.
So they simply followed Lan Zhan's example and kept quiet. The two embraced intimately, their foreheads touching, their hair intertwined, their breaths mingling, and their heartbeats synchronized, like two wounded young animals huddling together for warmth and comfort, licking their wounds and digesting their suffering!
Until the rosy glow of the sky faded and the pillar of light disappeared, on the charred and gray ground atop the mass grave that had been ravaged by the lightning, countless tender green shoots, like stars, eagerly poked their heads out, full of pure and vibrant life, innocent of the world!
Wei Ying and Lan Zhan tacitly composed themselves, released their embraces, and headed towards the Demon-Subduing Cave.
As expected, at the location that was supposed to be the Demon-Subduing Cave, the huge and spacious cave was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a pool of bright red blood, which seemed to be alive and slowly wriggling, stood undamaged in a pile of charred ashes a foot thick, standing out from the crowd and appearing particularly eerie and conspicuous!
"Hey? I knew it! I knew this damned Heavenly Dao wouldn't be so kind as to leave us a place to stay!" Wei Ying exclaimed dejectedly and indignantly. "What a waste of all the good stuff Lan Er-gege painstakingly prepared for that cave!"
As Wei Ying spoke, he almost clutched his heart and burst into tears. "Lan Zhan, what are we going to do now? This thing has all been ruined by that petty Heavenly Dao. How are we going to deal with this mess? We can't just go down the mountain like this and face people, can we? We'll scare A-jie and the others to death!"
Wei Ying propped his cheek up with his hand, looking at Lan Zhan with teary eyes, hoping that the steady and reliable man would immediately find a suitable solution to get out of this predicament!
