156: Section 156

“I think this should be related to when the Heart Demon entered.”

“On that day, in that ruined temple, the Heart Demon took advantage of the weakness and entered.”

“Now Nangong Liuli is innocent and in Chaos, and subconsciously, she will think this is the happiest thing in the world.”

“That’s why it’s like this.”

【You heard Dream Hongshang say this, and immediately began to ask.】

“I keep hearing you talk about Heart Demons, but I don’t know what a Heart Demon truly is.”

“Why have I never encountered one?”

【Dream Hongshang heard this and began to explain.】

“A so-called Heart Demon is actually our thoughts.”

“Ordinary Mortals are troubled by distracting thoughts, their hearts are like a bustling marketplace, and they can produce 108,000 thoughts in an instant.”

“For cultivators like you and me, what we need to do is to observe our own hearts and curb distracting thoughts.”

“Nangong Liuli, at that time, was taken advantage of by lustful thoughts when her body and mind were extremely vulnerable.”

“Speaking of which, it’s also my fault. My Peach Blossom Colored Cloud Miasma is best at stirring up lustful thoughts.”

“Even some evil cultivators wouldn’t dare to oppose me.”

“The consequence of rampant lust is the proliferation of Heart Demons.”

“The calamities they suffer will be even more ferocious, and it’s very possible that they might die and their Dao vanish if they are not careful.”

“As the saying goes, dispel desires, and the heart will be calm. Purify the mind, and the spirit will be clear.”

“To eliminate Heart Demons, one must start by cultivating the mind.”

“Husband, you just need to recite a section of the Heart Purifying Incantation to Liuli every day.”

“Over time, the lustful thoughts will naturally dissipate.”

“It’s not impossible that her sanity will be restored then.”

【After you heard the method Dream Hongshang gave you, you immediately followed suit.】

【In the remaining days, when you played with Nangong Liuli, you would take the opportunity to recite the Heart Purifying Incantation.】

【It must be said that this move was very effective.】

【Nangong Liuli’s frequency of peeking at you and Dream Hongshang decreased significantly.】

【However, she still couldn't resist somewhat, peeking at you two while making herself happy.】

【Seeing this, you had no choice but to make her bathe every day and change into clean undergarments.】

【Originally, life could have continued peacefully like this, but a few years later, people from Mount Emei came knocking.】

【Now Nangong Liuli is innocent and in Chaos, so you naturally aren’t at ease entrusting her to Mount Emei.】

【No one knows what some people in Mount Emei might use her for.】

【At this moment, in the Peach Mountain reception hall.】

【You and Dream Hongshang sat on the main seats with Nangong Liuli.】

【Three people from Mount Emei arrived: Nangong Liuli’s Master and two male cultivators.】

【You looked at Nangong Liuli’s Master and spoke.】

“Daoist Chongxu, it’s not that I’m unwilling to hand over Liuli, it’s just that Liuli’s current state is not good.”

“We have already found a way to alleviate her Heart Demon, so why go to Mount Emei for treatment unnecessarily?”

【Chongxu now saw that although Nangong Liuli’s mind was in Chaos, her body was not broken, and he understood that what you said was not false.】

【But even so, it was not a reason for Nangong Liuli to stay here.】

“No, Liuli staying here with you is ultimately improper.”

“It is better for Liuli to return to Mount Emei.”

“The Sect Leader said that he will personally take Liuli into seclusion to remove her Heart Demon.”

“At that time, Liuli will still be Mount Emei’s third-generation chief Disciple.”

【You saw that reasoning with Chongxu was fruitless, so you looked at Nangong Liuli.】

“Liuli, this Daoist wants to take you away, are you willing?”

【Nangong Liuli’s head immediately shook like a rattle-drum.】

“No, I don’t even know him.”

“I don’t want to go with him!”

【After speaking, Nangong Liuli hugged Dream Hongshang’s arm, burying her head deeply in her embrace.】

【Seeing Nangong Liuli become like this, Chongxu sighed.】

“So be it.”

“However, Mount Emei will frequently send Disciples to Peach Mountain to observe.”

“If Liuli encounters anything bad, you will bear the consequences!”

【After Chongxu finished speaking, he directly left with the two Mount Emei Disciples.】

【You also sent them out of Peach Mountain before returning.】

【Back in the reception hall, Dream Hongshang was holding Nangong Liuli in her arms.】

【Looking at Nangong Liuli, who was cowering like an ostrich out of fear, you couldn't help but recall the Fairy who was once spirited but outwardly as cold as ice.

【After spending these few years together, Dream Hongshang had long since treated Nangong Liuli like a younger sister.】

【She also couldn't bear for Nangong Liuli to leave.】

“They’re gone?”

“Yes, they’re gone.”

【Dream Hongshang suddenly suggested.】

“Husband, why don’t you take Liuli in?”

“Ah?”

【Your heart trembled when you heard this, not quite understanding what Dream Hongshang meant.】

【Was it a test or something else?】

【Seeing your nervous expression, Dream Hongshang chuckled.】

“Husband, you wouldn’t think I’m testing you, would you?”

“What I’m thinking is, if Liuli gains greater happiness than self-amusement, will it break through her Heart Demon?”

“Right now, this is the only way.”

“Whether to try it is up to you.”

“This is a rare opportunity, limited to the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn.”

【After speaking, Dream Hongshang carried Nangong Liuli to your room, leaving you alone.】

【What do you choose at this moment?】

【Option 1: Listen to Dream Hongshang and take in Nangong Liuli.】

【Option 2: You believe this is a trap set by Dream Hongshang; if you truly listen to her, she will definitely get angry with you, so stay put and don’t go in.】

…

Looking at the two options that appeared, Su Mo was slightly stunned.

He didn’t know why such options were appearing now.

Just then, a rooster’s crow came from outside.

Followed by a dog’s bark.

Looking out the window, the stars in the night sky were gradually thinning, and the moon was shifting westward.

The horizon was also tinged with blue.

It was clearly almost dawn.

Looking at Xu Miaoyin, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and then at her exquisite curves, Su Mo continued to look at the simulation screen.

Since options had appeared, it must be a major decision that would change his fate in the simulation.

But having reached this point, he naturally had to choose the first option.

If he didn't choose, wouldn't his brain be foolish?

Immediately.

Su Mo directly chose the first option.

…

【After hesitating for a moment, you directly walked towards the room where Dream Hongshang and Nangong Liuli were.】

【Upon entering the room.】

【You saw the exquisite scenery you had longed for.】

【After walking over, you took the lead, while Dream Hongshang provided assistance from the side, ultimately causing Nangong Liuli to completely lose herself.】

【This lasted for a long time, causing you to feel somewhat overwhelmed and directly fall into a deep sleep. Not long after you fell asleep, you suddenly felt a sharp pain in your heart.】

【Opening your eyes, you saw an ice-blue long sword plunged into your chest, and your gaze met Nangong Liuli’s crimson eyes.】

【Turning your head, you found that Dream Hongshang had also fallen in a pool of blood.】

【Your eyes were filled with confusion and anger.】

“Why?”

【But everything was beyond salvation. Before dying, you kept questioning Nangong Liuli why.】

【But the other party gave no response whatsoever.】

【Finally, you closed your eyes, unwilling to accept your fate.】

Seeing his simulated self suddenly die violently, Su Mo was also stunned.

So sudden?

He had wanted to admire Nangong Liuli’s wonderful performance a few more times.

Tsk.

No chance!

But the screen did not end; instead, it continued to evolve with the subsequent simulation plot.

…

【After Nangong Liuli killed you and Dream Hongshang, her crimson eyes disappeared.】

【Controlled by the Heart Demon, she regained her sanity.】

【Looking at you and Dream Hongshang, who were dead, Nangong Liuli’s mind went blank, her eyes filled with horror and bewilderment.】

【Unable to believe the reality before her.】

“What have I done?”

【Although her behavior earlier was in Chaos, she could truly experience all feelings.】

【It was like her body was being managed by her nine-year-old self, everything felt so real.】

【After these few years of getting along, she had long since fallen deeply in love with you.】

【But she just didn’t want to wake up; she didn’t want to face you, she didn’t want to face anything related to you.】

【Because she was afraid it would break this harmony.】
