The door opened again.
His A-Pei walked in.
Yue Xiuzhi had already vaguely noticed that Pei Ming only had semi-autonomy in the illusion, especially in this illusion where he imprisoned himself. Pei Ming’s words and actions were not under his own control.
Recalling when he imprisoned himself, for Pei Ming, was like digging up his most guilty and unbearable past events to let him face it again and again. This should be the content that the illusion originally intended to present to him. Plus, Pei Ming himself also had some intention to “force himself to remember,” so his autonomy in this illusion was very limited.
On the other hand, the memories of him imprisoning Pei Ming were completely Pei Ming’s punishment for himself, so Pei Ming had complete autonomy.
Pei Ming walked to his side at a steady pace, his eyes cold.
“A-Pei.”
Pei Ming seemed about to say something but was interrupted by Yue Xiuzhi directly.
His face suddenly changed, from the original lofty indifference to anger. His face darkened as he spoke, “What did you call me?”
“A-Pei,” Yue Xiuzhi repeated.
Because the tendons of this body’s hands and feet had been severed, Yue Xiuzhi was half lying on the ground.
He seemed completely oblivious to Pei Ming’s darkening face and instead struggled to lift his hand, trying to grab Pei Ming’s hand but missing several times due to his weakness.
After a few attempts, before Pei Ming could react, he grabbed Yue Xiuzhi’s hand.
His hand felt ice-cold, and he seemed to realize something, but subconsciously tightened his grip even more.
Yue Xiuzhi saw his hand firmly held by Pei Ming and smiled so much that his eyes curved.
He said, “A-Pei, I’ve been thinking for a long time…”
In the past, he didn’t hate Pei Ming but held grievances. After knowing that Pei Ming had fallen in love with him, he avoided him even more because he knew he would never forget the year of his imprisonment. Even now, after knowing that all of this was just a deception by the main system, and he was just an outright accomplice, he couldn’t forget.
But this fool, Pei Ming, even though he owed nothing to him, could completely put down his own past grievances, only remembering the harm he had done to himself, and therefore generated inner demons, trapping himself in this illusion, punishing himself over and over again.

“What do you want to say?” Pei Ming frowned impatiently, then smirked sarcastically, “What, you finally can’t help but beg me for mercy?”
“A-Pei, can you crouch down a bit?” Yue Xiuzhi suddenly asked.
Pei Ming wanted to say something to taunt him, but involuntarily half crouched down before speaking.
“What do you want?” Pei Ming’s tone was impatient.
Struggling, Yue Xiuzhi slowly lifted himself up to align his height with Pei Ming’s.
“I am your inner demon, and you are my knot. So…” Yue Xiuzhi gently kissed Pei Ming.
The slightly cold yet soft touch made Pei Ming widen his phoenix-like eyes.
One kiss means too much. Pei Ming heard Yue Xiuzhi’s unspoken words.
It was as if some thread had broken, and some barrier had been completely broken through.
He couldn’t help but circle Yue Xiuzhi’s waist and fiercely return the kiss.
He sucked on Yue Xiuzhi’s lips forcefully, making them swell. Unsatisfied, he forcefully pried open Yue Xiuzhi’s lips, invading his mouth wantonly.
Yue Xiuzhi’s tongue was numb from the kiss, and he was struggling to catch his breath.
Sensing the person in his arms struggling, Pei Ming released one of his hands that was holding Yue Xiuzhi’s waist and pressed it against the back of Yue Xiuzhi’s head.
The kiss lasted a long time, until even the corners of Yue Xiuzhi’s eyes were slightly red.
This bastard, he’s really going to suffocate me!
His body was now completely useless due to the complete depletion of his cultivation. He was even worse off than an ordinary person. If they kept kissing, he would really suffocate.
Seeing that enough was enough — though using this phrase here might be a bit forced, after all, his wife was about to lose patience — Pei Ming let go of Yue Xiuzhi.
Then he looked at Yue Xiuzhi with shining eyes and said, “Xiuzhi, what did you want to say just now?”
Yue Xiuzhi rolled his eyes silently in his heart, knowing that this guy was asking even when he knew the answer.
But he still couldn’t help but indulge him.
“Perhaps my love for you is far less than your love for me, and perhaps my feelings are not pure, and there are still many things I can’t let go of, but… if you don’t mind…”
“——A-Pei, let’s be together.”
This was definitely the dumbest expression Pei Ming had ever made in his life.
His eyes sparkled, and his smile almost stretched to the base of his ears.
As Yue Xiuzhi’s words settled in his heart, the illusion shattered like a mirror breaking into pieces.
Yue Xiuzhi couldn’t help but laugh too.
He felt like he had some loose screws as seeing Pei Ming so happy made him feel as if he had drunk a jar of honey, warm and sweet.
After the illusion broke, Yue Xiuzhi saw Pei Ming casually grab a ball of golden light in his hand.
“What’s this?” Yue Xiuzhi asked.
“It’s the Heavenly Way,” Pei Ming shook the object in his hand, “It no longer has consciousness, just a pure energy body. It’s quite replenishing, good to keep as ginseng.”
“May you all be safe,” a somewhat familiar voice came at this moment.
It was the Heavenly Way from Pei Xiaoming’s world.
Yue Xiuzhi then realized that he and Pei Ming had returned to that star-filled expanse of space.
At the same time, the vague figure of the Heavenly Way appeared in front of Yue Xiuzhi and Pei Ming.
“You actually managed to do it,” Heavenly Way remarked.
Such a feat, Heavenly Way almost felt it was a matter of life and death, but Yue Xiuzhi managed to bring Pei Ming out so quickly.
“It has nothing to do with me,” Yue Xiuzhi laughed, then pinched Pei Ming’s cheek hard, “It’s all because this idiot is too foolish.”
He wasn’t too confident about himself, but he knew how important he was to Pei Ming.
Pei Ming grabbed Yue Xiuzhi’s hand that was pinching his cheek and couldn’t help but laugh again.
“Why are you laughing when I call you foolish?” Yue Xiuzhi asked helplessly.
“I’m happy enough you can call me foolish for all my life,” Pei Ming said.
“Yeah, it’s not like you haven’t called me foolish before,” Yue Xiuzhi felt like rolling his eyes.
Pei Ming curled his lips up, saying, “We are both fools, a perfect match.”
