NOVEL NEXT Chapter 408 Heavenly Master 115
Shuangshuang looked at Dong Wentao's despairing face and continued to strike him, "Now the aura of your Yin Yang Eye has already leaked, and evil ghosts have taken an interest in you. Even if I seal your Yin Yang Eye, it won't help because even without the aura, the evil ghosts already know you have the Yin Yang Eye and will not give up on you. Doing so would only make you unable to see the evil ghosts, leading to greater danger, with no benefit at all!"
Dong Wentao's legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, filled with despair! Could it be that he would never escape the fate of being targeted by evil ghosts? What he feared even more was dying at the hands of an evil ghost!
Must he cling to Shuangshuang for protection all his life? Dong Wentao smiled bitterly. Even if he was willing, looking at Shuangshuang's cold demeanor, she probably wouldn't want to carry such a burden like him!
Shuangshuang looked at Dong Wentao's lifeless expression, not fully understanding his thoughts. If it were her, with a Heavenly Master in front of her who could ensure her safety, she'd definitely cling on to learn the art of catching ghosts to ensure her life's safety in her own hands!
Shuangshuang was truly troubled by Dong Wentao's dejected look. Dong Wentao's character wasn't without its merits—cheerful, sunny, and good-natured. Even with her cold and odd temper, he was entirely tolerant, never getting angry over the embarrassment she caused him.
In this regard, Dong Wentao was truly a gentleman, understanding and accommodating. In the future, he would be a good man. Someone with his character would thrive in society, destined to succeed regardless of family circumstances.
Unfortunately, Dong Wentao was born with Yin Yang Eyes, destined not to walk an ordinary path! Perhaps due to a smooth journey since childhood, while his character was good, his mental resilience wasn't strong enough. So, if he wanted to walk the path of a Heavenly Master, he still had a lot to endure!
Thinking about it, Shuangshuang could not help but sigh. She guessed, according to her master's intentions, this boy was probably going to be under her guidance. Such a nature, getting scared without seeing any formidable ghosts, just thinking about it gave her a headache.
Shuangshuang honestly couldn't stand Dong Wentao's crestfallen look, and sighed helplessly, "You don't need to be so disheartened. To a Heavenly Master, your Yin Yang Eyes are a rare gift! The reason your Yin Yang Eyes are bringing you trouble now is because you haven't fully refined and mastered them! Once you're able to completely control and know how to use them, evil ghosts will flee at the sight of you!"
Upon hearing Shuangshuang's words, Dong Wentao didn't feel any happier, but instead, became even more depressed because he realized he was just like the Duke of Ye loving dragons.
Before, he thought the Heavenly Master industry was so mysterious and cool, with an air of mystique everywhere making it intriguing!
Especially seeing Duan Ze and Lu Tianxing's attitude towards Shuangshuang, these two were such big bosses, always having others bow and compliment them, but in front of Shuangshuang, the Heavenly Master, they still had to nod and smile, calling her 'master' with great respect, fearing to offend her!
But when it came time for him to be a Heavenly Master, Dong Wentao thought of the terrifying image of Little Shun, the resentful baby he had seen, and Lu Tianxing and his wife's souls entering the eerie mirror! Just this level of fright was already making his heart fill with immense fear.
If it were just a casual glance, he would treat it as watching a horror movie, seeking thrills. But if he had to live in such terror every day, Dong Wentao felt his life lost all brightness!
Shuangshuang saw that Dong Wentao could not think straight, and she also didn't have the patience to continue persuading him. Anyway, although the matter was troublesome, it wasn't life-threatening. Let him be depressed if he wanted. She should focus on checking if Lu Tianxing and his wife had brought back Lu Lei, that's the real task at hand.
The red ropes on Lu Tianxing and his wife's waists were bright, indicating they hadn't been tainted by the aura of the Reincarnation Road to lose memories of the mortal world, so Shuangshuang felt relatively relaxed. She moved a chair and sat directly in front of the mirror, waiting for them to come out.
At the intersection of Yin and Yang, Lu Lei wandered aimlessly in the vast darkness, with only a glowing black cat accompanying him!
Lu Lei couldn't remember who he was or why he was in such a place! His memory was blank, though occasionally there were fragmented images in his mind that he couldn't grasp, and recently, even those fragments were gone, leaving his mind so empty he didn't even realize what emptiness was.
Even the cat beside him, he only realized it was a cat through some transmitted thought. As for understanding what a cat was, he had no concept!
The surroundings were pitch black, and it seemed the path was the same no matter where he went, but the glowing black cat seemed to be leading him forward. Lu Lei now had two choices: follow the glowing cat forward or remain in place and be engulfed by the dense darkness!
Lu Lei didn't want to be swallowed by the overwhelming darkness because it evoked a primal fear in him! So he chose to follow the only bright spot in the gloom, the glowing black cat, moving forward continuously.
Lu Lei didn't know how long he walked, didn't know where the black cat was taking him, and he even felt that the cat itself didn't know where to lead him; often, the cat would stop and circle around, seemingly trying to find a path but clueless, yet never giving up, always seeking a way forward with him.
Lu Lei felt neither fatigue nor hunger, thirst, or cold, just dazed like a wandering soul, following the luminous footsteps of the black cat unendingly!
Lu Lei didn't know how long he walked. He couldn't sense time, but he felt lonely and isolated, feeling that his surroundings shouldn't be like this, not understanding why he had these feelings. Strangely, he couldn't even articulate these feelings clearly!
Just as Lu Lei began to crumble in the immense darkness, suddenly, a glowing path appeared before him! Then he saw a man and a woman with red ropes tied at their waists walking towards him!
Looking at these two people, Lu Lei instinctively felt a sense of closeness but also inexplicable resistance. He subconsciously picked up the black cat in front of him, standing in the darkness, tensely watching the approaching couple!
As the two approached, the glowing path slowly extended to him, yet Lu Lei inexplicably felt like fleeing and equally felt heartbroken and wronged to the point of wanting to cry!
