Chapter 002 Rebirth

Countless rays of light converged into two lines.

They entered a person's eyes.

Lu Ye's body trembled slightly, and the world before his eyes transformed into its true form.

"Young master, young master, your clothes are washed..."

A young girl dressed in a mint-green long skirt, with a quirky yet undeniably beautiful appearance, walked in carrying a basin of clothes. Her cheerful voice suddenly paused.

Similarly, countless rays of light turned into two beams, merging into her eyes.

All memories returned.

They had been reborn!

Reborn many years ago, back when they were still in the first layer of heaven.

Looking at the current scene, this was right after they had just entered the Great Dao Sect.

"Thud!"

The washing basin fell to the ground.

"Why? Why? How could this be?" Chu Ling couldn't believe it, staring intently at Lu Ye.

They had actually been reborn!

Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha, it seems that old friend of mine still has some conscience after all. Thank you!"

Before crossing over, he was an orphan who had never experienced love.

After crossing over, he desperately yearned for love, and he thought he had found it.

Indeed, he had found it.

But undoubtedly, he had lost it again.

From nothing to something, from having to losing, where is the eternity in love?

Now, it seems, this betrayal was just a bit of frost.

"Didn't you have nine lives? Why did you choose to self-destruct without losing even one?" Chu Ling's eyes were sharp, with sword energy faintly swirling within. Truly befitting the title of Nine Heavens Sword Maiden.

Lu Ye didn't explain.

"None of your business. Do I need to explain anything to you?" Lu Ye said casually.

He took out a piece of paper from his storage bag.

A deed of servitude!

Chu Ling's expression shifted.

In truth, this was just a mere contract among mortals, without any reinforcement from the laws of the Great Dao. Even if violated, there would be no consequences.

However, Chu Ling regarded it as a great humiliation.

While she deeply despised it, she had no choice but to fulfill it.

The flames ignited.

Chu Ling's eyes widened in shock.

Lu Ye didn't hesitate for a moment; he directly burned the deed of servitude.

Black ashes scattered and fell.

"Alright, you're free."

Chu Ling clenched her teeth inexplicably, her stunning face icy cold.

"Why? You still haven't answered my question. Why did you choose to self-destruct when you still had nine lives left?"

"I told you, it's none of your damn business, get lost!"

Chu Ling's body trembled slightly, her eyes turning red. As the deed of servitude was burned, her heart inexplicably felt like a piece of it was missing.

This was something she had longed for.

"After being reborn, you will die a miserable death!"

Leaving behind a curse, Chu Ling turned and left.

Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh. He could have killed Chu Ling right then and there.

However, sometimes death isn't the harshest punishment.

Chu Ling now carried anger and resentment.

Even if he killed her, she wouldn't feel the pain.

So let her live, let her live well!

After leaving Lu Ye, Chu Ling looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard.

Here, she and Lu Ye had spent a long time together. Often, Lu Ye would tease her, making her shy, and then laugh heartily.

He also liked to dote on her. Sometimes, she would massage his shoulders, and the evening sun would fall on both of them. In those moments, she felt that life was peaceful.

But now, none of that could happen.

She laughed at herself.

She was truly a fool to have once enjoyed the feeling of serving someone.

Lu Ye had abducted her from Chu Jian Manor, keeping her under control and not allowing her to return home. By the time he finally let her go, Chu Jian Manor had already been destroyed.

Now, she couldn't stay in the Great Dao Sect.

She wasn't originally a disciple of the Great Dao Sect; she had only been able to stay there as a disciple's maid.

Home!

Thinking of her parents, Chu Ling's heart ached to return.

She immediately descended the mountain and ran towards Chu Jian Manor.

In truth, her doubts still remained unresolved.

Her original intention was not to kill Lu Ye. As everyone knows, Lu Ye has nine lives. Back then, the eight of them unanimously agreed to spare Lu Ye's last life.

They wanted to turn him into a cripple, keep him by their side, and make him atone for his years of sins.

However, Lu Ye self-destructed on his very first life.

Forget it, she didn't care anymore. She wanted to go home!

...

Silence!

Lu Ye knew that Chu Ling would definitely go home.

Chu Sword Manor was a den of demons. Chu Ling was born with a sword body. If Chu Sword Manor nurtured her properly, she could undoubtedly become a powerful figure in the future, safeguarding the manor.

However, Chu Sword Manor wouldn't think that way.

They already had a young master with a Primordial Sword Embryo and didn't need another rising star with a sword body.

Moreover, the ancestor of Chu Sword Manor had forged a Demon Sword, which required a person with a sword body to be sacrificed. Thus, Chu Ling was inevitably chosen.

He had saved her and forced her to stay by his side.

He didn't tell her about this because he didn't want her to know that the love from her parents and family was an illusion.

Lu Ye deeply understood that illusory love was still love. Some people had never even received illusory love, which was the most tragic.

When the Demon Sword was about to be completed.

Without Chu Ling, the Demon Sword had been waiting.

Until the very end, when no suitable candidate could be found, they had no choice but to sacrifice the young master.

The day the Demon Sword was completed was also the day Chu Sword Manor fell.

Now, as Chu Ling returned to Chu Sword Manor, the entire manor would surely be overjoyed.

They probably never expected that someone who had already escaped death would come back to die.

You really deserve to die!

"Bang!"

Before he could even start cultivating, his door was kicked to pieces, splinters flying everywhere.

His junior sister, Yue Hongling, dressed in a red outfit with legs longer than life, stormed in, her face filled with rage.

My door...

Lu Ye was furious. You could have just entered normally, why did you have to kick my door to pieces?

If you kick my door to pieces, where will I find a sense of security for my cultivation and sleep?

Lu Ye's figure vanished, and a hand shot towards Yue Hongling's neck.

Yue Hongling snorted coldly and raised her palm to meet it.

With just one move, Lu Ye grabbed Yue Hongling by the neck.

Lu Ye held Yue Hongling by the neck and lifted her up.

"Today, you must fix my door. If you don't, I'll strangle you!" Lu Ye said coldly.

After cultivating for so long, few dared to kick his door down. Without a door, he felt extremely insecure.

Yue Hongling's face was full of defiance, her eyes fixed on Lu Ye, her beautiful oval face flushed red.

She showed no intention of yielding.

Lu Ye also had no intention of letting go.

Strangle her!

Strangle her to death!

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger for Yue Hongling, her neck almost being crushed by Lu Ye.

Looking at the coldness in Lu Ye's eyes, the sensation of death enveloped her like a nightmare.

Did he really want to kill her?

Did he really want to kill her!

!!!

Yue Hongling's heart was filled with disbelief.

Was this still the senior brother who always doted on her and tolerated her whims?

No!

She couldn't die yet!

She hadn't seen Feng Wuxie yet. She had been reborn, and she was meant to be with Feng Wuxie as a couple who envied no one but themselves!

"I... heh... I... fix..."

A hoarse, grating voice emerged.

Only then did Lu Ye throw Yue Hongling aside.

"When I come back, if the door isn't fixed, you're dead! I mean it!"
