Chapter 95 - Senior Demon Hunter, Please Spare Me (19)

TL: Moonlit
After saying those words, Yin Shao turned his head and looked at Bai Yu with tenderness.
The Bai Yu before him appeared so innocent and clueless, his entire being in a daze, his eyes devoid of any brilliance.
No matter what Yin Shao said or did, Bai Yu remained completely unaware.
All of Bai Yu’s actions were simply driven by his animal instincts.
However, the words Bai Yu uttered during his brief moment of clarity yesterday were deeply imprinted in Yin Shao’s mind.
Although he called himself a jerk…
Although he said he hated himself…
Just those words alone felt like heavenly music to Yin Shao.
Because it was those words.
They allowed Yin Shao, who was struggling in despair, to see hope once again.
So, Bai Yu hadn’t really left…
So, Bai Yu still existed in this world!
An indescribable joy threatened to overflow.
Yin Shao had never imagined that one day he would betray his sect for a demon.
From childhood to adulthood, he had considered demon eradication and upholding justice as his duty.
Whenever he saw a demon, his heart would be filled with hatred, wishing to eradicate all the demons in the world without delay.
He had never considered that demons, like humans, could be good or bad.
Just like people.
Not everyone is good, and not everyone is bad.
And his Bai Yu had the most beautiful appearance in this world and the purest heart.
“Bai Yu, you have to believe me. I will definitely bring you back.”
“And then, I will spend my entire life making it up to you. Repaying the mistakes I’ve made towards you.”
Yin Shao leaned closer and gently kissed Bai Yu’s forehead.
Bai Yu didn’t understand the meaning behind this action. He tilted his head, looking at Yin Shao with a bewildered expression.
Even his eyes blinked and blinked.
His fluttering eyelashes moved up and down, giving him an incredibly lively appearance.
Finally, a faint smile appeared on Yin Shao’s face.
During the time he brought Bai Yu back home, he had been filled with pain and sorrow.
So, his emotions had infected Bai Yu, causing him to resist Yin Shao.
However, now he showed a gentle smile to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu no longer seemed as afraid of him and kept tilting his head, looking at him.
Yin Shao reached out and ruffled Bai Yu’s hair.
Bai Yu’s hair was long, reaching down to his waist.
Yin Shao used his hand to grab a strand of his own hair and tied it together with Bai Yu’s hair, then carefully spoke.
“Do you know? This is called ‘Jiefa’… When two people tie their hair together, it means they will be together for a lifetime. So, you will be with me for the rest of your life.”
After saying these words, he suddenly had an idea.
He reached out and took out a strand of his own hair, tying it together with Bai Yu’s hair, and then said cautiously.
“Did you know that? This is called ‘Jiefa’… When two people tie their hair together, it means they will be together for a lifetime. So, from today onwards, I am your husband.”
Excitement filled Yin Shao’s eyes.
He brought Bai Yu back home and found a red cloth to cover Bai Yu’s head.
He coaxed Bai Yu to kneel with him in front of a big tree near their home.
Yin Shao firmly held Bai Yu’s hand.
They performed the ritual of husband and wife under the tree.
All of this may have seemed like a solo act by Yin Shao.
But his heart was filled with boundless excitement.
He used his hand to lift the red cloth covering Bai Yu’s head.
Bai Yu’s face appeared even more radiant and captivating under the moonlight.
His features were delicate and gentle, with a straight and tall nose.
A faint glow adorned his cherry-red lips.
His pupils were a unique deep red color, and under the moonlight, they appeared incredibly captivating.
If only his gaze wasn’t vacant, but as lively as it used to be…
In truth, Yin Shao had seen Bai Yu countless times before.
However, there was never a time that made Yin Shao feel Bai Yu’s beauty as profoundly as this moment.
Because he knew that starting from today, Bai Yu was his wife.
Belonging to him alone…
A smile unconsciously curved Yin Shao’s lips.
“Bai Yu, from today onwards, I am your husband. Not just calling myself that… I am truly your husband. Understand?”
Bai Yu’s eyes blinked, showing that he didn’t really comprehend what Yin Shao was saying.
But it didn’t matter.
Because from this moment on, their fates would be tightly intertwined.
“Bai Yu, do you know the purpose of a husband?” Yin Shao smiled at Bai Yu, his eyes filled with tenderness. “A husband is here to protect his wife. From now on, I will protect you.”
—
After completing the ritual, Yin Shao’s first action wasn’t to enter the bridal chamber. Instead, he hurried on their way.
Yin Shao was eager to return to his sect to obtain the immortal herb and save Bai Yu.
So, he didn’t waste a single moment and directly held Bai Yu’s hand, leaving the place.
They traveled faster than expected.
Perhaps due to the increasing amount of time Bai Yu spent with Yin Shao, he no longer resisted him as much as before.
Sometimes Yin Shao held Bai Yu, and sometimes he carried him on his back.
These intimate gestures made Bai Yu begin to rely on him.
Without Bai Yu’s resistance, Yin Shao’s pace became even faster.
Yin Shao brought Bai Yu to the entrance of his sect, but before entering, he saw Fang Xiao sitting there, looking exceptionally desolate.
Yin Shao’s unexplained disappearance had caused Fang Xiao immense distress.
Every day, he had been waiting here for Yin Shao.
Originally, he had planned to spend the Lunar New Year with his senior brother.
But now the Lunar New Year had passed, and his senior brother still hadn’t returned.
During the Lunar New Year, the sect was bustling with activity as senior brothers and sisters returned from their external travels.
But Fang Xiao felt that this year was particularly bleak.
Simply because the person he had been longing to see wasn’t here.
The master had said that at the end of the month, he would form a Daoist union with his senior brother.
But would his senior brother be able to return in time?
And at this moment, Fang Xiao suddenly saw Yin Shao, who had been missing for so long.
“Senior brother!”
Fang Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly ran toward Yin Shao, throwing himself into his arms.
“Senior brother, where did you go? I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”
Bai Yu stood behind Yin Shao, observing the scene. Even though he hadn’t regained his consciousness, he started to become instinctively irritable.
Initially, Yin Shao held his hand, but now he struggled forcefully.
His heart ached unbearably.
Bai Yu forcefully pushed Yin Shao away and turned to run in the opposite direction.
He instinctively wanted to leave this place.
Unexpectedly, this turn of events frightened Yin Shao, who quickly let go of Fang Xiao and chased after Bai Yu.
When Yin Shao caught up with Bai Yu, Bai Yu’s eyes were moist, and his expression became extremely aggrieved.
Yin Shao looked at him anxiously and said, “Are you unhappy? Are you jealous?”
Bai Yu had no idea what being jealous meant. He didn’t even know what Yin Shao was saying.
All he felt was a piercing pain in his heart, and he wanted to leave this place.
Yin Shao tightly embraced Bai Yu.
Suddenly, he felt that Bai Yu in his arms was so lively and adorable.
He urgently explained to Bai Yu, “That person earlier was my junior brother. There’s nothing between us, don’t worry. The only person I love is you.”
Although Yin Shao knew that Bai Yu didn’t understand what he was saying, he still wanted to convey his feelings to him.
In this lifetime, the person he loved was only Bai Yu.
However, Bai Yu didn’t comprehend these words, but Fang Xiao did.
Fang Xiao stood beside Yin Shao, watching everything unfold, his entire body frozen.
“Senior brother… What are you saying?” Fang Xiao’s eyes remained fixed on Bai Yu. Although he rarely left the sect, he was still part of the sect.
Bai Yu was a demon, and Fang Xiao could immediately tell.
It was said that demons were adept at bewitching people’s hearts.
Had his senior brother also fallen under the spell of a demon?
Fang Xiao raised his sword.
“Senior brother, he is a demon! You’ve been bewitched, I will help you kill him.”
But how could Fang Xiao be a match for Yin Shao?
Before the sword could even touch Bai Yu, Yin Shao intercepted it with the hilt of his own sword, stopping it in its tracks.
Yin Shao’s expression turned grim.
He had always doted on his junior brother.
He had hurt Bai Yu so much before, all for the sake of treating his junior brother’s illness.
But now Fang Xiao unjustly accused Bai Yu, even wanting to kill him.
Yin Shao forcefully pushed Fang Xiao away, preventing him from getting closer to Bai Yu.
“Fang Xiao, I genuinely love Bai Yu. I haven’t been bewitched. If you don’t believe me, you can sense the spiritual energy on Bai Yu’s body.”
Bai Yu’s condition was dire. He could only maintain his human form with the help of Chi Xun’s demonic power.
There was not a trace of spiritual energy left in him.
Fang Xiao could perceive all of this.
Yet, it was precisely because he could perceive it that it drove him to the brink of collapse.
This meant that the demon didn’t have the ability to bewitch Yin Shao.
The words Yin Shao had just spoken were true.
He had truly fallen in love with a demon!
Fang Xiao shook his head continuously. His lifelong dream had always been to be with his senior brother.
His senior brother had always treated him so gently.
How could he fall in love with a demon?
Fang Xiao’s emotions started to crumble.
“I don’t believe it! Senior brother can’t possibly fall in love with a demon! This demon must have used some other method to bewitch you.”
“I’m telling you, that’s not true!”
Before Yin Shao could finish his sentence, Fang Xiao continued shaking his head and took a few steps back.
“Senior brother, you’re being bewitched now, so there’s no point in me trying to reason with you. I will report this to the master and let him deal with it.”
Fang Xiao gritted his teeth while looking at Yin Shao. He had waited for his senior brother for so long, always hoping that his senior brother would return to marry him.
However, he didn’t expect to wait for such a result.
His heart was already in turmoil.
Fang Xiao felt lost and bewildered.
He had to find their master.
Only their master could find a solution.
As Fang Xiao thought this, he turned around and ran towards the sect’s entrance.
Yin Shao coldly watched everything unfold and didn’t stop Fang Xiao.
He had already anticipated this when he brought Bai Yu back.
Whether it was Fang Xiao or anyone else, he would eventually have to bring Bai Yu to meet their master.
Yin Shao tightly held Bai Yu’s hand, gripping it tightly.
“Bai Yu, are you scared?”
Their master had a peculiar temper, especially towards demons whom he despised and wanted to exterminate. It was incredibly dangerous for Bai Yu to meet their master.
But it didn’t matter.
Because…
Yin Shao smiled at Bai Yu and reached out to tidy the stray strands of hair on his forehead.
With determination, he said, “Bai Yu, rest assured, I will do everything in my power to protect you. I won’t let you suffer even the slightest harm. Even if it means sacrificing my own life for yours!”
—
A resounding slap suddenly echoed in the air, landing harshly on Yin Shao’s face. “You traitor! Have you forgotten what you said back then? And how you agreed with me?”
Their master stood before Yin Shao with a cold expression, exuding an extremely chilling aura.
He never expected that his proud eldest disciple would commit such a treacherous act!
Not only did he bring a demon into the sect, but he also intended to use the sect’s treasured artifact to save this demon.
It was a disgrace to the entire demon-hunting community!
“I’m telling you, don’t even dream about it. Yin Shao, kill this demon now, and I may let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I will subject you to the harshest punishment within the sect.”
Upon hearing their master’s words, Yin Shao furrowed his brow tightly, his eyes filled with coldness.
He tightly gripped Bai Yu’s hand, shielding him behind his back.
Firmly, he said, “I won’t kill him.”
“If that’s the case, then I won’t show any mercy.”
Their master’s expression turned even colder.
“Bring Yin Shao down and subject him to water torture…”
Before their master could finish speaking, Fang Xiao immediately knelt on the ground and anxiously said, “Master, spare senior brother. Senior brother didn’t mean it. He was bewitched by that rabbit demon.”
Fang Xiao, who was lost just a moment ago, instinctively sought their master’s help.
But he didn’t expect their master to impose such severe punishment on his senior brother.
Such punishment could potentially be fatal!
Water torture involved whipping the person a hundred times, then tying them with ropes and submerging them in freezing cold water, making it impossible to breathe.
When they were on the brink of suffocation, they would be pulled out of the water, only to be submerged again. This torment would continue, inflicting unimaginable pain.
The last person subjected to water torture had betrayed the sect and caused numerous casualties among their senior martial brothers and sisters.
Yet today, their master actually intended to subject his senior brother to the same punishment.
Fang Xiao trembled all over in fear.
“Master, I beg you…”
As he pleaded, he crawled on his knees, approaching their master and repeatedly knocking his head on the ground.
If Fang Xiao had known that seeking their master’s help would lead to such punishment for his senior brother, he would never have come to their master.
However, Yin Shao’s face showed no sign of fear.
Instead, he said to their master, “If Master is willing to hand over the immortal herb to me, I am willing to undergo the water torture.”
“Senior brother, have you gone mad?”
Fang Xiao shouted, pointing at Bai Yu, his voice trembling.
“How can you risk your life for this despicable demon?”
Fang Xiao then turned to their master.
“Master, senior brother must have been bewitched by this rabbit demon. Please take this rabbit demon into custody. Once the demon is captured, senior brother won’t be influenced anymore.”
Fang Xiao stubbornly believed that Yin Shao was bewitched by the rabbit demon. He wanted his senior brother back.
His senior brother harbored deep hatred toward demons. How could he possibly fall in love with a demon?
It was simply absurd!
Their master furrowed his brow. In fact, he was reluctant to subject Yin Shao to water torture. Among his many disciples, Yin Shao was the one he had personally raised.
That was why it pained him even more.
Hearing Fang Xiao’s words, their master’s expression softened slightly.
As if Fang Xiao had given him a way out.
Although he could clearly perceive that Bai Yu had lost his sanity and had no ability to bewitch Yin Shao, their master still said, “Since Shao’er has been bewitched, you should capture him. As for this rabbit demon, I will personally execute it.”
As demon hunters, their duty was to exterminate demons.
As soon as their master finished speaking, an iron chain flew out of his hand and directly bound Yin Shao’s body before he could evade it.
The other disciples quickly rushed over and grabbed Yin Shao.
At this moment, Yin Shao was surrounded by people and instantly restrained.
Their master steadily approached the direction where Bai Yu was, a ball of fire appearing in his palm.
Bai Yu seemed to sense the power of the fire, trembling all over. His facial expression became filled with agony.
Bai Yu was utterly defenseless at this moment. Once their master made a move, he would completely disappear from this world.
Yin Shao, with a pale face, desperately struggled, trying to break free from the shackles. He wanted to escape from this ordeal.
But the iron chain had already been infused with thunderous power, and every struggle felt like being struck by lightning.
Legend had it that the lock was meant to restrain dragons, yet their master used it to bind Yin Shao!
The iron chain was too formidable, and Yin Shao couldn’t break free.
He thought he could save Bai Yu, but he had overestimated his own strength and underestimated his master.
Yin Shao looked in fear at everything happening before him.
He had already lost once and couldn’t afford to lose again.
Yin Shao shouted at their master with all his might, “Master, do you remember the crimson fruit I used to treat my junior brother? That crimson fruit is Bai Yu’s inner core. You can’t treat him like this! He’s our sect’s benefactor. You can’t repay his kindness with enmity!”
Yin Shao’s voice resounded loudly. He hoped their master would show mercy.
However, their master only sneered at him and directly sent the fireball in his hand toward Bai Yu.
Terrified, Bai Yu watched the fireball, desperately running toward where Yin Shao was.
Although he had lost his sanity, he knew that among these people, Yin Shao was his only reliance.
Yet an invisible barrier seemed to appear in front of Bai Yu.
Every time he tried to run toward Yin Shao, the barrier would bounce him back, causing him to fall to the ground.
He would run again, only to be thrown to the ground once more.
The fireball in their master’s hand instantly split into numerous smaller flames inside the barrier, flying chaotically.
One of them touched Bai Yu’s clothes, instantly igniting them.
Bai Yu looked in horror at the flames. His expression twisted with pain, and tears streamed down his face.
He let out a heart-wrenching cry.
His body crawled toward the direction where Yin Shao was.
“Ugh…”
He couldn’t speak, but he was in extreme agony.
He longed for the person who had always been by his side, taking care of him, to come and save him!
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
Bai Yu made painful sounds. At this moment, another flame collided with his body.
“Ugh!”
An extremely agonizing scream resounded through the heavens and earth.
He rolled on the ground in agony, hit by two consecutive flames. He was on the verge of death.
His crimson eyes remained fixed on Yin Shao, tears streaming down profusely.
Yet even so, he struggled to crawl towards Yin Shao…
Yin Shao watched this scene helplessly, feeling as if an invisible force was tearing his heart apart.
“No!”
“Don’t!”
Yin Shao was filled with terror.
He had sworn to protect him.
But now, he was subjected to such torment. It caused him immense pain.
If this continued, Bai Yu would die!
Yin Shao trembled violently all over.
He forcefully broke free from the shackles, disregarding the pain inflicted upon him.
He couldn’t let Bai Yu die!
No, he couldn’t!
“Bai Yu, Bai Yu, wait for me. I’ll save you!”
Yin Shao’s skin was burned and bloody from the lightning coursing through his body. He was covered in blood.
But he completely ignored the pain. All he knew was that he must not let Bai Yu die!
Yin Shao gritted his teeth, using his hands to forcefully break the iron chain. The scene before his eyes was driving him mad!
“Bai Yu…”
“I’ll save you!”
Yin Shao’s eyes turned bloodshot as he exerted all his strength. His hands were completely burnt by the lightning, with no patch of healthy flesh left on his skin.
But he seemed impervious to the pain and kept tearing at the chain.
Their master watched Yin Shao with a cold expression.
He felt that Yin Shao was vastly overestimating himself.
How could a mere mortal break a chain meant to bind dragons?
Their master even sent another fireball toward Bai Yu!
He could have killed Bai Yu with a single palm, but he deliberately chose to torture him this way.
He wanted Yin Shao to see the consequences of falling in love with a demon!
He wanted the demon to perish gradually in extreme agony.
He wanted Yin Shao to understand that a relationship between a human and a demon was forever impossible!
Their master’s face carried a cold and stern smile.
However, no one expected that in the next instant, Yin Shao forcefully snapped the iron chain.
Electric sparks still flickered on it.
Visible black energy appeared on Yin Shao’s body.
He paid no attention to anything else and desperately ran in Bai Yu’s direction.
Their master had set up a barrier there.
Originally, with Yin Shao’s strength, it was impossible for him to break through their master’s barrier.
But he broke through it as if it were an uninhabited place.
No one knew that Yin Shao’s corruption level had reached 100% at this moment.
The intense corruption empowered him, and as the ruler of dimensions, there was no one who could surpass him now.
Yin Shao carefully embraced Bai Yu, holding him close to his chest.
Bai Yu’s body was injured and burned by the flames. Yin Shao looked at him with heartache.
He gazed at Bai Yu’s frightened eyes, and how he leaned on him with reliance.
Yin Shao’s heart ached even more.
He extended his hand and instantly dispersed the fireballs.
Yin Shao grabbed the back of Bai Yu’s head with his hand, his face cold as he glanced at the people before him, filled with intense hatred.
In a hoarse voice, he sounded in Bai Yu’s ear, “Don’t be afraid. I promised I would protect you.”
