The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 141 Playing With Fire

In Fang Yu’s calculations, Mo Li needed about a week or two to come back. However, she wasn’t sure if he would really come back after two weeks or just continue training Dong Hu. So she decided to try and practice using her space magic while occasionally making some pills and potions for Ji Tian.

Base on Fang Yu’s memory, she had tried to access a different dimension before, but she failed to keep the portal open. Moreover, she was afraid to go inside as she was scared that she stumbled upon a different world. However, this Fang Yu was different. First and foremost, she was following the original plot. Fang Yu found a way to go to the Ghost dimension and make the pill for Ji Tian.

The only thing that she wasn’t so sure about is Mo Li’s involvement in this matter. In the original timeline Fang Yu would fall in love with Ji Tian but this time she was already married to Mo Li. There was no way that she would love the male lead. But since her treatment towards Ji Tian didn’t change, her marriage to Mo Li shouldn’t change anything in the plot.

Fang Yu decided to concentrate on the portal in front of her. With the lack of knowledge when it comes to space magic, Fang Yu could only test certain dimensions. Using her Qi, Fang Yu finally finished the preparations and started making the portal bigger for her to send a puppet bird.

A puppet bird was like a flying camera that would be able to see what the world beyond the portal looked like. However, the bird was not that strong to sustain difficult situations, so there was also the possibility that it wouldn’t be able to reach the other side of the portal.

Fang Yu closed her eyes and almost immediately saw the image that the puppet bird was seeing. The first thing that she saw was a mountain, a red one. It had no trees or animals. It was just a bare mountain. She directed the bird to approached the mountain, but she suddenly lost connection with the bird.

Fang Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood when the portal shook. She staggered and decided to close the portal. She wiped the sweat on her forehead as she caught her breath. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of world was that just now.

"You are playing with fire." Fang Yu’s head turned towards the door and was surprised to see Mo Li. However, unlike her, Mo Li had a dark look on his face. "Why are you playing with dimensions?"

"I— "

"Do you know how dangerous that was?" His voice was not loud, it was laced with anger and irritation. He walked towards her, face dark while staring straight into her face. "That is the reason why people with your affinity are extinct. Curiosity killed the cat." His tone was grim. "Why do you want to go to a different dimension?" he asked, taking another step towards her. "Do you want to leave me?"

Surprised at his question, Fang Yu just stared at Mo Li’s face, wondering why he would react like that. She frowned.

"Ah... let me guess. This is because of the recipe?" He lifted an eyebrow. As if realizing Fang Yu’s goal, the darkness on his face slowly vanished. "You wanted to create the pill to help your disciple?" When he saw that Fang Yu was standing as still as a statue, another realization flashed in his eyes. His lips thinned into a straight line as he stood two feet away from her, his huge frame towering over her small one.

"You..." Fang Yu didn’t continue her words. "You are not human. Am I right?"

"Right." He nodded, confirming her words. "Was it because of the map?" he knew she would realize it one day, but he never thought she would be this smart.

She nodded in response.

"You think that I am someone from the Devil Race?"

She shook her head. She knew he was from the Demon Race, but he was waiting for him to tell her this.

"Ah... so you guess I am from the Demon Race." He smirked however, it soon vanished. "Is that why you wanted to run away? From me?" the words made his chest hurt. But he forced it out of his mouth. He wanted to know.

Frowning, Fang Yu shook her head. "No. I just wanted to see if I could find the Ghost Dimension. I was not planning to run away."

Mo Li snorted. "It’s not like you can run away from me." Mo Li showed her his ring, the one that the Sect Master gave them. "As long as we are under the same sky. As long as your soul is intact I would be able to find you."

She froze at his words. Under the same sky... the words echoed inside her head. "I was not going to leave." She managed to say.

"You can’t." Mo Li said. He snapped his finger, creating a finger that surrounded the two of them. "You can’t leave me. Not anymore." He took another step, narrowing the space that was in between them.

"Why would you even think that I would leave?"

Mo Li only snorted. His gut is telling him that she would one day leave him. It was instinct, but he wasn’t planning to tell her this. He wasn’t planning to scare her. "So... did you guess my identity?" He asked. He was interested to know how she would react that her soul now belongs to a demon.

"I think so."

His eyebrow shot up. "And?"

"Well... what can I do about it?" She asked. "Does it change anything?"

He chuckled. "What about the rumors. About Demons enslaving humans?"

"Are you planning to enslave me?"

He lifted his hand and used it to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Probably in bed. But other than that, no."

Fang Yu met his eyes, her body was once again reacting to his words. She could feel her core pulsed, desire humming in her skin just from being this close to him. Her eyes darkened as she gave him a smile. "Then... do whatever you want."
