Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 36

I hadn’t understood the situation yet when a strange sound came from below. I looked down and saw there were several tentacles at the place where we were just standing, all in a flurry and moving. Everything they seized would be torn to pieces.

I asked, “What are these?”

“The spell has started.”

Chu Kong turned serious.

“Look for the spell’s opening.”

I looked around and noticed that, at the peak of the mountain, a flash passed. I poked Chu Kong’s hand. “There, there, Chu Kong. Above!”

“You wait here.”

Chu Kong didn’t say anything more and let go of my hand. He swiftly went to the spell’s opening. I stood there and waved at his back. “Do your best, ah!”

It was only when he was at the peak of the mountain that I came to realize how I just naturally wished him the best, and he didn’t feel anything wrong with it.

The earth shook. Something made a dull sound. It was the movement of the spell’s opening. I looked up at the peak of the mountain where Chu Kong was. We were separated, too far away. I couldn’t see his expression, but I could just imagine how beautiful the light in his eyes would be.

Chu Kong did have some skills, and his skills were out of my range. He clearly didn’t seem like someone who’d work under another immortal. Now that I was thinking about it...whether it was Yanwang or Great Golden Star Taibai, they all called him “Celestial Star Chu Kong”. And this title “Celestial Star” was above his position.

Chu Kong was not as simple as he looked…

The earth shook again. It didn’t come from the direction of the spell’s opening. Not far from me, an animal suddenly drilled out from beneath the snow. His whole body was covered in white fur. Even the fur on his forehead was white and covered his eyes.

“Who broke my bloodthirsty spell?!”

His roar had a deep voice. I raised an eyebrow. Using one spell on a whole mountain, and it’s from a demon, too. This matter was really not simple.

I glanced in the direction where Chu Kong was. This was a critical time to break the spell. It couldn’t be interrupted. The demon on the ground shook his head. He rushed to the peak. My body moved on its own and fell right in front of the demon. My hands twisted and a big net appeared. I waved, and it fell straight on the head of the demon.

“Although I’m not powerful, you can’t afford to not look at me, ah.”

I walked to the demon covered in the net and whispered, “My man is at work, how can I let him have worries?”

Originally, I was such a gentle and considerate person, ah!

The demon’s throat made a “gululu” sound.

The earth shook again. The sky above seemed to be breaking apart. The demon lying on the ground suddenly began to struggle as if he needed to fight even if he died.

While he was struggling, a hole formed in the net. One hole, two holes.

I didn’t expect that this demon would have such abilities. My heart was startled. I searched my whole body to see if I could find something to protect myself, but I quickly realized that I had nothing…

I was a poor immortal. There was nothing of worth on my body.

“You stay away from her!”

Chu Kong’s voice could be heard above our heads.

My body stiffened. A red light flashed at the corner of my eyes. The demon’s eyes were covered in a glowing red light.

Soon, I heard a terrible roar. The net was completely shattered. He turned to me.

I was soaked in sweat. “In fact, it’s alright if you don’t look at me. It doesn’t matter.”

He shouted, “Whoever’s breaking the spell needs to die!”

His claws came in my direction. I rolled on the ground and escaped this attack, but couldn’t recover in time as the second claw came after me. The speed was so fast, I couldn’t react in time.

The sound of the spell breaking accelerated. Presumably, Chu Kong increased his speed to destroy the spell.

I came to a decision. I needed to stall for time till Chu Kong could get over here.

The demon seemed angry. His claws came at me. I was furious. “The one who’s destroying the spell is obviously there. Why are you hitting me?!”

My words had hardly left my mouth when he got free from the net entirely. The demon’s claw came at my head…

In a split second, a hand grabbed my waist. I was surprised. When I came to, the demon was miles away from me. I looked up and saw that Chu Kong was still fighting to break the spell. I turned and looked, catching a glimpse of a purple robe drifting in the wind.

“A Xiang lady?”

His voice had a hint of surprise.

I looked at this person’s face for a long time and finally said, “Ah, you are that sinister stone demon, Zihui?”

“Having not seen you for so many years, a Xiang lady is still so straightforward.”

He smiled, mouth curving.

“But it’s really an honor that lady still remembers me.”

I looked at him for a moment, and then looked at Chu Kong. Suddenly, I had an impulse of mischief to roar to Chu Kong: “Your rival has come!”

I really wanted to know what expression he’d make when he heard that…
