229: Chapter 229 Retribution Starting from Zero

"What the... fuck..."

The copper coin sword in Lin Ye's hand almost slipped.

He had seen romance between humans and ghosts, and romance between humans and demons.

But what the fuck was this cross-species, cross-gender "abnormal bear-rat romance"?!

The species biodiversity of this nature was simply a bit too advanced!

"Sister, what is this big clumsy bear saying? Why is it calling this old man a deadbeat? Are they good friends?"

Frost Star clearly hadn't understood such profound biological and sociological knowledge, and innocently tugged at Leng Yue's sleeve.

"Shut up, don't ask, it'll dirty your ears."

Leng Yue's face was ashen. If Lin Ye weren't here,

she would definitely release the Red Lotus Karmic Fire immediately and burn these two air-polluting dirty things in front of her until not even ashes remained.

Ayugu covered her face with both hands and wailed in agony:

"Oh my mom! I'll never go back to the Ten Thousand Mountains again! What kind of perverted things are the demons in this mountain playing with?! My eyes are dirty!"

The rat demon on the ground had its background exposed publicly by the black bear, and coupled with its cultivation being crippled, it was now anxious, furious, and terrified all at once.

"Heibao... listen to my explanation... I was just putting on an act... I absorbed their Yin Qi just to boost my cultivation... so that... so that I could stay with you forever..."

The old demon tried to use the classic quotes of a scumbag man to win back this former "old flame".

After all, its cultivation was now completely ruined.

If it didn't rely on this black bear, a single sword strike from Lin Ye could take its old life.

"Shut up! I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"

The black bear shook its head wildly, and then looked down at the rat demon's horribly blasted nether regions.

In its bear eyes, which were originally full of grievance, a twisted, perverted madness suddenly flashed.

"Since you are already a cripple now."

"Since you can't even do that kind of thing anymore."

The black bear stuck out its scarlet, thick tongue and licked its furry lips.

"Then obediently stay by my side. It's one thing that I couldn't beat you before, but now... you can't run away!"

"Let me... love you properly one last time!"

As soon as those words fell!

This behemoth over three meters tall suddenly, without warning, lunged forward like a hungry tiger.

Pinning the dwarf rat demon, who was less than one meter five tall, firmly beneath it!

"No... Heibao! What are you doing! You're crazy! Ah——!!!"

Accompanied by the rat demon's screams that felt as if its soul were being torn apart.

The black bear's "punishment" born of love turning into hate, too gruesome to behold, opened its curtain in this pitch-black, windy, desolate mountain wilderness.

"..."

"Aoo aoo aoo——"

"No... not here..."

The rat demon's eyeballs instantly bulged out of their sockets, and the veins on its forehead burst one by one.

Its hands grabbed the soil on the ground tightly, its ten fingers sinking deep in.

"Ah——"

"My eyes!"

"Fuck, I give up, my eyes!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Ye felt as though he had been struck by lightning, his scalp instantly exploding.

Even as an experienced veteran mingling in the streets, he absolutely could not withstand this level of nuclear-bomb-grade mental pollution.

"Turn around! Close your eyes, all of you! You are not allowed to look!"

Roaring, Lin Ye turned around and opened his arms, forcefully turning Leng Yue, Frost Star, Ayugu, and Helena—the four women—around with his back to them like herding chicks.

He himself also closed his eyes tightly, his stomach churning violently.

What the fuck kind of business was this!

"Starting from 'Zero', is it?"

"This is simply even more terrifying than the top-tier rule-based bizarre entities, okay!"

Lin Ye mentally roasted this frantically.

"Brother-in-law... what on earth are they doing? Why is that person screaming so miserably? Is the blind bear biting him?"

With her eyes covered by Lin Ye, Frost Star was still curiously trying to pry open Lin Ye's fingers, wanting to peek through the gaps.

"Don't ask! Unsuitable for children! That bear is giving him... a gastrointestinal endoscopy check!"

Lin Ye talked nonsense with lines of black dots on his forehead, and the screams behind him lasted for a full five minutes.

The rat demon's voice went from high-pitched and shrill at first to a gradually desperate whimpering.

In the end, only faint gasps remained in its throat.

It had already been severely injured by Lin Ye's formation, and its inner core had been crippled.

Now facing the "violence" of this huge black bear that had gone completely mad out of resentment...

The dual extreme trauma physically and mentally caused its already tattered vitality to drain rapidly.

"You... you're so beautiful... I love you so much..."

The black bear let out a satisfied, rough, low roar.

On the rat demon's ugly face, extreme humiliation, pain, and disbelief were frozen.

It died.

A dignified great mountain demon that had lived for hundreds of years did not die under the flying sword of a profound sect master, nor did it die in the high-explosive bombs of The Ninth Bureau.

Instead, it was fucked to death alive by its former same-sex old flame using the most primitive and brutal method.

A true unnatural death.

Bad people have their own tormentors; this retribution came even more ridiculously than immediate karma.

Feeling that the commotion behind had subsided,

Lin Ye took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his stomach, slightly turned his head, and glanced out of the corner of his eye.

That black bear climbed up from the old man's body.

It seemed to have also sensed that the "lover" beneath it had stopped breathing.

"Old man... why did you just die like this... I haven't loved enough yet..."

The black bear let out a sorrowful whimper.

Then, this behemoth over three meters tall carefully hugged the blood-soaked corpse of the rat demon in its arms, just like holding a precious porcelain doll.

"Since you weren't willing to accompany me in life, after death, let's be together forever."

The black bear gazed affectionately at the corpse in its arms.

Without even glancing at Lin Ye and the others.

It turned around directly, hugging that corpse, and vanished step by step into the pitch-black deep mountain forest like a resentful woman committing double suicide for love.

Until the black bear's figure completely disappeared,

Lin Ye let out a long breath of foul air and lowered his hand covering Frost Star's eyes.

"Alright, the eye-burning plot is over, you can turn around now."

The four women turned around and looked at the empty bluestone slab that only left behind a large puddle of suspicious bloodstains.

Helena's hand making the sign of the cross on her chest was shaking:

"Boss... do Eastern demons... all pursue the true meaning of love like this?"

"Bullshit true meaning of love."

"This is simply a social news event of a typical scumbag man casting aside the old for the new, and finally having the original partner come knocking to settle accounts."

Lin Ye shook his head, forcibly kicking the bizarre image just now out of his mind.

He walked over to the dilapidated bright red sedan chair parked nearby.

That girl named Cuicui was still wearing her pajamas and staying quietly there.

Lin Ye extended his finger and tapped her between the eyebrows.

"It's fine. She just inhaled some hallucinogenic sleeping potion in the peach blossom miasma and had her soul hooked by the rat demon using some minor demon arts."

"When the sun comes out tomorrow and the Yang Qi rushes over, she'll naturally wake up. This is not any real Flower-Falling Cave Maiden curse at all."

Lin Ye made his conclusion.

If it were a truly folkloric bizarre entity, it would be an existence capable of triggering the resonance of heaven and earth rules.

This rat demon was merely a clown jumping up and down, taking advantage of the recent unstable general environment to make up some superstitious gimmicks to satisfy its own selfish desires.

"Let's go, carry this lass down the mountain. In the middle of the night, after watching the show, it's time to go back and make up for sleep."

Lin Ye sighed, bent down resignedly, and carried the unconscious Cuicui out of the sedan chair.

"Sigh, what a busybody fate I have."

"Clearly The Big Boss with assets over 100 million, yet I have to do this kind of physical labor in this desolate mountain wilderness in the middle of the night."

Lin Ye carried Cuicui on his back, muttering complaints while leading the four people and walking down the mountain along the original path.

The moonlight was dismal.

The road down the mountain appeared exceptionally tranquil.

"Brother-in-law, are you tired? Do you want Frost Star to help you carry her?"

Frost Star hopped around beside him, exchanging polite pleasantries insincerely.

"Save it. You carry her? I'm afraid you'd chew her up as a human-shaped popsicle halfway."

Lin Ye gave her a reproachful look with a roll of his eyes.

Leng Yue walked beside Lin Ye, still maintaining her dignified posture.

"Husband does good deeds and accumulates virtue, which is also accumulating luck for himself, but tonight's encounter is truly a bit... offensive to the eyes."

"Ain't that the truth. I've decided, after going back I must have Fatty make a whole roast lamb to thoroughly wash my eyes."

The few of them chatted and laughed.

But just as they were about to walk out of this dense forest and see the halo of those ghastly white lanterns of Phoenix Settlement at the foot of the mountain,

Lin Ye, who was walking at the very front, suddenly paused slightly.

He didn't turn back.

But the keen sixth sense of the Pure Yang Dao Body went wildly alarming at this instant!

Lin Ye felt that deep inside that pitch-black forest behind him,

it seemed like a pair of eyes was staring fixedly at his back!

That feeling was completely different from that rat demon just now.

"Boss... what's wrong with you?"

Ayugu noticed Lin Ye's abnormality and asked softly.

"It's nothing."

Lin Ye reined in the sharpness in his eyes.

He didn't turn around to investigate the source of that gaze.

In this era full of bizarreness everywhere, he understood the principle that curiosity kills the cat better than anyone.

Since the other party didn't show up actively, he wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke them proactively.

"The wind in the mountain is too cold, blowing on my neck makes it a bit chilly."

Lin Ye shrugged and bounced Cuicui on his back.

"Let's go."

"Return to the inn and sleep."

In the darkness behind, that gaze seemed to linger for a moment, and finally slowly dissipated into the thick night fog.
