The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 163 Curse or a Blessing

"What are you talking about?"

"Just tell me about his location! This is none of your business!"

"It is my business! I am his wife!"

The man’s mouth hit the floor, his eyes widened. However, before he could say anything, Fang Yu fainted and fell to the ground. The man let out a curse before he hastily approached Fang Yu. If they were married then the pain in her chest should be... the man narrowed his eyes. Who would have thought that Mo Li would agree to have his soul connected to some other person?

He held the small woman and laid her into the bed. Then he held the woman’s chest and transferred some of his ability, healing the woman in the process. Since Mo Li and this woman’s soul are connected then it meant... she could experience everything that Mo Li had been experiencing now. Her fainting meant that Mo Li fainted too.

Another curse left his lips. Demons like them who already lived a long life are more careful when it comes to marrying someone. They could, of course, marry humans, but they would never tie their souls with their wives. After all, humans who aren’t immortals will still die. Moreover, humans tend to be very cunning. They would always betray someone for benefits.

Unlike humans... demons tend to only give their hearts to one person in their lifetime. "Foolish." He couldn’t help but utter when he remembered that the woman is not even in the immortal realm. Of course, the fact that she is about to advance is also a good thing. But once Mo Li’s enemies would know that he is married to a human, they would come after her and kill her to inflict pain on Mo Li.

How could Mo Li even risk it? Even if he loved the woman so much, he could have waited for her to advance before marrying her. At least, she would have some chance when fighting against that man’s enemies.

"Hmmm..." Finally, Fang Yu showed some signs of recovery after the man sent some healing properties into the woman’s body.

"So you can use space." The man nodded. Healing a normal cultivator was, of course, easier than someone who could devour someone’s ability into their space. "Is that the reason why Mo Li married you? So he could use you in creating portals for the demons?" the man asked. He knew that Fang Yu is already conscious.

"You could say that," her voice was hoarse. If she knew that tying one’s soul would have this effect, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry him. Slowly, she opened her eyes and stared at the man sitting next to her. "He is in the devil’s dimension."

"You can go there." The man immediately said. He could feel what Fang Yu is thinking. "You would die."

"I know." She nodded. For the first time, she hated the fact that she was weak. "He is dying... isn’t he?"

The red-eyed man just nodded without saying anything. Indeed, Mo Li is dying. "Poisoned. That is the only way that they could make him this weak. Poison him."

Fang Yu turned her head away. She knew that the pain in her chest was still there, but the man had a way of masking it. Right now, her chest felt numb. She felt nothing. It was like when she entered this world. And for some reason, she doesn’t like this feeling.

"Can you open another portal to that world?"

Fang Yu nodded in response. Now that the pain in her chest was gone... it means she could concentrate and access her space.

"Then do it!" the man stood and waited for her to stand next to him. "You need to hurry so I can save him."

Fang Yu bit her lower lips. Because of her, Mo Li was in the devil dimension. She needed to step up her game and advance so they could travel together when he comes back. "Use this."

"What is this?"

"An artifact that Mo Li gave me before he left. He said it would be able to protect me if someone more powerful than him attacked me. Use it to protect him."

The man only lifted his eyebrow. "You trust me?" the man smiled. "How foolish. You don’t even know me."

"You look like him." Fang Yu uttered. "And I can feel the same blood running in your veins."

"Oh? Was it because of the soul?"

She nodded in response. She knew that the man would not hurt her simply because she too could smell Mo Li’s scent around the man.

"Then... you can call me Mo Li."

"Hm?" It was Fang Yu’s turn to raised her eyebrows.

"I am his clone. Someone that he created from his flesh and blood. Though our consciousness is not connected, and I don’t know that he already married someone." He smiled, showing a little bit of dimple that looked similar to Mo Li. "Well then, little girl. Open the portal so I could save your man."

Fang Yu only lowered her head and closed her eyes. Soon, the deafening silence descended inside the ice cave. Then she held her hand in front of her as she accessed the devil dimension. Slowly, the space in front of them distorted, creating a black hole that swirled.

"Quick..." the man said. "So you are a powerful space cultivator. Interesting." The man said and watched as space grew wider and wider until it was enough to accommodate two people. Seeing this, the man nodded in approval. At least the real Mo Li didn’t marry someone weak. A space user’s potential was endless. Meaning the advantages that she could bring to the demons were also endless. "Well then..." the amusement didn’t last long when the black hole suddenly became clearer.

"WHY DID YOU OPEN THE SPACE AGAIN!" Mo Li’s loud voice came from the other side of the space. Almost immediately the red-eyed man used his ice to sealed the space again. But it was too late.

The loud sound of a weapon impaling Fang Yu’s flesh broke the thick silence.

"FANG YU!"

The red-eyed man froze as he slowly turned towards the woman lying on the floor, a spear was on the woman’s stomach, but no blood flowed from her body. "A space weapon." A weapon that could traverse space and time. The red-eyed man paled when he saw space slowly trying to close. However, instead of dwelling in this place, the man decided to jump towards space. He was here to save the real Mo Li. Who cares about a small woman?

Fang Yu watched as the image of Mo Li in chains flashed in her eyes. "NOOOO!" Mo Li’s voice echoed over and over as the space distorted for a few seconds before it finally closed. Her gaze had turned blurry with tears, her breathing sparse. The weapon didn’t gave her any pain, but it stopped her from moving. She couldn’t even blink her eyes. It was as if a huge boulder was on top of her, preventing her from breathing. She could feel her limbs slowly losing their strength as her gaze darkened.

It must have been a setup. They must have been waiting for her to open the space again after they inflicted so much pain for Mo Li. They knew that with the space user being alive, Mo Li could always come back to the devil dimension. So, they chose to end her first.

What a cruel fate.

’Robot. Please... let me leave.’ She uttered inside her mind. Though her body felt numb, she still felt the heavy sensation in her heart. It was too heavy, she just wanted it to vanish. She wanted to forget.

[Leaving the world in Three.... Two.... One...]

When Fang Yu opened her eyes again, she was already in a white space, lying on the cold hard floor. She held her chest then watch her naked body. The weapon on her stomach was now gone. And this body— this body was no longer Fang Yu. She touched her face and stared at her long fingers.

This body was no longer Fang Yu, but why does she still felt the heaviness in her chest?

’Robot. Is there a way to stop this pain?’ She couldn’t help but ask.

[Negative]

She was no longer Fang Yu. She was already Lily, and yet the pain .... Why? Lily thought that the pain would disappear along with the identity of Fang Yu, along with her body.

’Robot can you show me my stats?’

’Healthy?’ she frowned and held her chest. ’But my chests... hurt. Can you scan it again?’

After three times of scanning herself, Lily finally gave up. Since the Robot said that she was healthy, then she was healthy. "So the mission this time ... was completed." She uttered to herself. Funny how she should celebrate her success, but instead of feeling happy, Lily felt... pain? Why would she feel pain?

She immediately tried to rummage her memory, and as expected, faces and names from the previous world started to blur. She couldn’t remember some details anymore.

A sigh escaped her lips. Forgetting everything...

Lily couldn’t help but wonder if this was a curse or a blessing. [End of Arc 2]
