Tang Wulin rubbed his dizzy head and murmured, "Damn it, did I faint again?"
As for fainting, Tang Wulin had grown accustomed to it, since after each ordeal with the Old Demons, it was impossible to wake up unscathed…
"Hmm? Where is everyone?" Tang Wulin scanned his surroundings but couldn't find Xie Xie or the others!
The only figure that appeared in his line of sight was the one with a purple hood, its back turned to him…
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable familiarity…
With a somewhat cautious inquiry, he asked, "Who… may I ask who you are?"
The person before him could be a trick by the Nightmare Old Demon and the others!
Unexpectedly, the other party just weakly coughed and didn't respond verbally, "Cough cough... "
Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and slowly began to walk toward the figure…
After getting closer, he looked down at the delicate body with an admirable figure and thought, "This… must be a woman, and her physique might even surpass Gu Yue's!"
Just then, the figure in front of him suddenly turned over to face Tang Wulin…
This made the latter think mischievously, whispering to himself, "It's probably not too offensive just to have a little peek, right?"
After all, he needed to know if the person was dangerous!
With that thought, he carefully reached out to pinch the purple hood and slowly began to pull it back…
But when he saw the woman's face under the purple hood, his expression froze in an instant…
"Gu… Gu Yue... you… how come you're here??"
Simultaneously, the sleeping "Gu Yue" also lazily opened her Beautiful Eyes and, upon seeing Tang Wulin, spoke in a puzzled tone, "Wulin… wasn't I just in the Spirit Pagoda? How come I'm here?"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Wulin, what place is this?"
Yet, Tang Wulin in front of her seemed not to have heard, looking at Gu Yue as though he was in a trance, "Gu Yue…"
The next second, without any hesitation, he stretched out his arms and tightly embraced "Gu Yue," "Gu Yue, it's wonderful, I never expected to see you here! I… I missed you so much!"
"Gu Yue" seemed to be stunned for a moment and then also wrapped her arms around him, "I… I missed you too!"
However, if one observed closely, they would notice a teasing smile at the corner of Gu Yue's mouth...
Tang Wulin's eyes began to swell with emotions, and he said to himself, "Gu Yue, do you know? In this half year, I've been missing you every moment, wishing I could finish military training and go to you right away!"
"But thankfully, fate has brought you back to my side, and we can be together again! Promise me, don't leave again…"
The emotions he'd been suppressing for half a year burst out at that moment…
However, the anticipated answer did not come; "Gu Yue" suddenly pushed Tang Wulin several meters away…
Those Beautiful Eyes, familiar yet tinged with a hint of indifference, looked at Tang Wulin with complexity, and with an apologetic tone, she said, "Wulin, I'm sorry, I can't promise you that."
Tang Wulin stood dazed, "Why? Aren't we a couple already?"
Gu Yue pursed her lips and said softly, "Wulin, in the half-year you've been away, I fell in love with a Disciple from the Spirit Pagoda. He's as outstanding as you are and takes great care of me…"
Tang Wulin felt like he was struck by a hammer; his body trembled violently as his hands suddenly grabbed her shoulders, his eyes turning bloodshot, "No… It can't be, Gu Yue, you must be joking, right?"
Gu Yue let out a light snort, "Wulin, you're hurting me!"
At her words, Tang Wulin instinctively released her shoulders, the veins in his arms still bulging…
Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes glinted with a touch of pride as she spoke in a tender voice, "Wulin, don't look at me like that. As my best friend, you should be wishing me happiness, shouldn't you?"
Tang Wulin shook his head vigorously, almost roaring, "No... I don't want to, Gu Yue, I can't give up, you are mine, you can only be mine in this lifetime!!"
He couldn't imagine what life would be like without Gu Yue by his side, for without her... he would truly have nothing!
Seeing this, Gu Yue's tone became icier by the moment, "Wulin, I never expected you to be so selfish. I'm so disappointed in you!"
Her cold gaze felt like hundreds of sharp blades slashing at Tang Wulin's heart, causing spasms of pain...
Yet, Gu Yue showed not a hint of sympathy, continuing to provoke Tang Wulin with her words, "Wulin, our friendship ends here. You should leave! The man I love, he will take care of me!"
These words instantly caused Tang Wulin to lose all reason...
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Gu Yue underwent a drastic change...
It was one of madness, the desire to possess the other...
Gu Yue stepped back in panic, clutching her chest, "Wulin, what... what are you trying to do? We're... friends, aren't we?"
In an extremely hoarse voice, Tang Wulin replied, "Friends? No... I don't agree. I want you to be my woman, from now on, and forever after, my woman!!"
With that, he seized Gu Yue's hands, rendering her unable to move...
He was determined to have Gu Yue!
To make you entirely mine!
Just as Tang Wulin was about to proceed, Gu Yue again provoked him, "No... Wulin, stop being a fool, the one I love isn't you anymore. Doing this will only make me despise you more!!"
These words struck Tang Wulin's heart like a hammer...
He immediately came back to his senses, and with a fierce slap to his own face, he forced a bitter smile, "What am I doing?"
He had just been about to do that to Gu Yue!
Moreover, it was after she already had someone else in her heart!
At this moment, the previously panicking Gu Yue spoke up with a tone of surprise, "Not bad, you've completely lost your mind, but you still managed to stop yourself through willpower!"
Tang Wulin stared blankly, puzzled, "Gu Yue... what do you mean?"
Gu Yue revealed a mischievous smile, "Gu Yue? I'm not your little girlfriend!"
A woman in her twenties, with a stunning appearance, emerged from the dark corner. Each flicker of her smile seemed enough to trap a person in tender dreams...
Tang Wulin's pupils shrank, "You are...?"
Upon hearing this, the woman casually responded, "I am Desire Demon. Everything that happened before was dug out of your mind based on your memories!"
"But what I didn't expect was that you, young lad, would have such a powerful possessive desire!"
