TL: Moonlit

Yin Shao didn’t know how he managed to get through that night…

Endless nightmares kept haunting him.

Though they were nightmares, they were the events that had actually happened.

In his dreams, he relived everything that had occurred on the day he left Bai Yu…

Everything!

He felt like an observer appearing in his own dream.

He watched helplessly as his dream self approached Bai Yu and demanded the Red Fruit.

He witnessed it all unfold before his eyes.

No matter how he shouted, how he tried to wake his dream self…

It was all futile.

He could only watch as this tragedy unfolded before him…

He saw himself leave with the crimson fruit.

He saw Bai Yu, without the support of his inner core, instantly transform from a human into a rabbit.

That rabbit lay motionless on the ground, as if dead…

Red blood even flowed from its mouth…

With red eyes, Yin Shao squatted in front of him, wanting to pick him up.

But it was as if he were a ghost, his hand passing through Bai Yu’s body, grasping nothing but air.

There was nothing!

This dream was like a torturous knife, cutting through his flesh piece by piece.

The pain in his heart was indescribable.

He watched Bai Yu’s agony, his distress, and the look of utter despair on his face as he lay on the ground.

Yet he couldn’t do anything to stop it.

The unimaginable pain, it almost drove him insane!

“No…”

“No!”

Yin Shao suddenly opened his eyes.

It was already daylight.

No longer a pitch-black darkness.

That indescribable, suffocating darkness was finally dissipating.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a bright patch on the floor.

Yin Shao sat on the bed, gasping for breath.

Tears fell from his eyes, drop by drop…

It was truly a terrifying nightmare.

Even in the dream, it had brought him to tears.

It showed just how terrifying this dream was!

Yin Shao felt somewhat relieved that it was only a dream.

Thinking about it, he reached out his hand to the side.

But he didn’t touch the person he longed to see…

He still grasped nothing but air.

Just like in his dream.

Even if he stood in front of Bai Yu, he couldn’t hold him, only watch as he gradually faded away.

Yin Shao hesitated, turning his head to look beside him.

The person he imagined wasn’t there.

There was only emptiness, nothing at all.

Yin Shao’s hand suddenly trembled violently.

He acted as if possessed, quickly put on his shoes, and ran out of the room.

Yes.

Bai Yu loved sitting on tree branches, playing tunes.

He must be there.

Yin Shao ran desperately, wanting to tell Bai Yu about the terrifying dream he had. He wanted Bai Yu to comfort him.

But there was no trace of Bai Yu on the tree…

Not just the tree, but also the woods and the grass…

Nowhere to be found.

“Bai Yu, are you playing hide-and-seek with me?”

Yin Shao stood there foolishly, murmuring softly.

His heart ached with terror.

Even his voice trembled as he spoke.

“Stop fooling around and come out. Let me take you home, okay? I miss you so much.”

With red eyes, Yin Shao looked into the ethereal void ahead.

He wanted to see Bai Yu, to see him emerge from behind a big tree and sweetly say, “You lost!”

“Bai Yu, I’m the one who lost… I gave you my heart. You’ve always wanted my heart, right? I’m giving it to you, okay?”

But…

No one answered him.

There was nothing…

Yin Shao clenched his teeth tightly. His fingers trembled incessantly.

His heart sank.

Though he refused to admit it.

But he couldn’t deny it…

His Bai Yu was truly gone…

Yin Shao collapsed on the ground, clutching his head, and burst into loud sobs.

It wasn’t a dream…

It was something that had truly happened!

He was the one who forced Bai Yu to hand over his inner core…

He was the one who pushed Bai Yu into the depths of hell!

And he was the one who left Bai Yu without a trace of remains!

Yin Shao had killed many demons in the past, but he always believed he was upholding justice, fighting for righteousness.

But he had never thought about what death truly meant.

Anyway, those demons deserved to die.

Killing them meant nothing. It didn’t matter how many died.

But he had never imagined that the death of a demon would cause him such pain.

Death meant losing…

The person he loved in his heart.

From now on, he would disappear from this world…

He would never smile at you again.

Never embrace you.

Never affectionately call you “husband”!

Even if you were in pain… he wouldn’t appear before you to comfort you.

You could only continue to suffer like this.

Because he was truly gone…

“Ah!”

Yin Shao screamed like a madman!

He was in pain, in agony! He wanted to kill! He even wished to destroy the world!

A black mist enveloped his head.

It grew thicker and darker, turning into a dense black mass.

If Xiao Mihu were here, he would surely notice that his Corruption Level had reached its maximum, even breaking through!

His eyes narrowed slightly, emanating a chilling and murderous coldness that was terrifying.

The entire plane trembled, slowly cracking apart…

Yin Shao held a sword in his hand and walked step by step toward the direction of the wolf’s den.

Didn’t the cat demon say that Bai Yu was devoured by those wolves?

So today, he would avenge Bai Yu!

He would kill all the wolves in this area and let them accompany Bai Yu in death…

And then he would kill himself.

After all, without Bai Yu, living had no meaning for him anymore!

Blood flowed incessantly on the ground…

It spread in winding patterns…

Yin Shao’s eyes had turned completely blood-red.

He looked at the wolf demon in front of him, his eyes filled with cold indifference!

The sword was pointed directly at the wolf’s chest.

The wolf demon knelt on the ground, wailing in pain. His body was covered in wounds, and he had never bled so much in his entire life.

“Please spare me. Our wolf clan truly didn’t kill Bai Yu. It’s true!”

His eyes were filled with fear. How could he have imagined that merely catching a rabbit to satisfy his hunger would lead to this?

The snake warned him earlier, not to divulge this incident to anyone.

But when faced with the threat to his life, he couldn’t help but speak up.

Although the snake demon was terrifying, the demon hunter before him was even more fearsome!

The wolf demon’s face was full of terror. He knelt on the ground, clutching his wounds, and cried out loudly, “It was Chi Xun who took Bai Yu away! I didn’t kill him. I didn’t even have the chance to kill him. Chi Xun came…”

“Chi Xun?”

Yin Shao’s heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered the snake demon that had always wanted to marry Bai Yu and called him by that name…

“So… the snake saved Bai Yu?”

“Yes, yes, it was him. I had just brought the little rabbit back, and Chi Xun came looking for him. I didn’t even have a chance to take a bite. He took the little rabbit away.”

“Every wrong has a perpetrator, and if you want to find the little rabbit, go find that snake!”

As the wolf demon spoke, he kept moving his body backward.

His heart was filled with fear.

The person before him was like the grim reaper, even scarier than them, the demons.

Yin Shao’s breath became somewhat irregular.

The words of the wolf demon made him unable to believe…

So…

His heart started racing, beating rapidly.

So, there was still a possibility that Bai Yu was alive…

Yin Shao tightly pinched his fingers, and tears welled up in his eyes.

His Bai Yu…

His Bai Yu might still be alive!

He was just taken away by that snake demon.

His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his throat.

The indescribable excitement in his heart left him unsure of what to do next.

Yin Shao still remembered that annoying snake that always bothered Bai Yu, wanting to marry him.

Now that he had taken Bai Yu away, at least it was unlikely he would kill him…

Yin Shao no longer cared about the wolf. He ran towards the other side of the forest with all his might.

Excitement filled his being.

He was going to find Bai Yu.

And bring him back.

To tell him how much he missed him!

Yin Shao still remembered how much Bai Yu disliked that snake, and how he never wanted to be taken away by him.

So, Bai Yu must be waiting for him to rescue him.

Just like during that time when Yin Shao was absent…

He had waited at the door of that room every day.

Waiting for Yin Shao to return…

Yin Shao tightly clenched his fingers. He was going to bring Bai Yu back.

And then live a good life with him, telling him how much he loved him.

He would never do anything to betray Bai Yu again. He missed him so much…

Yin Shao ran desperately toward where Bai Yu was.

The closer he got, the faster his heart raced.

A mixture of sadness and joy filled his heart.

He truly wanted to see Bai Yu immediately.

Yin Shao knew that Bai Yu must also want to see him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have waited for him for over a month until being captured by the wolf demon.

He was going to rescue Bai Yu.

Yin Shao arrived at the snake demon’s dwelling in an instant—a gloomy cave.

He pushed aside the branches hanging over the entrance.

And what entered his sight was a figure.

His breath seemed to catch in his throat.

Yin Shao’s eyes seemed to radiate light.

It was really Bai Yu!

He wasn’t in the form of a rabbit but in his humanoid form.

Everything before his eyes was more beautiful than any dream.

He was truly alive.

And he stood before Yin Shao…

At this moment, Bai Yu stood there blankly, not moving.

There was no expression on his face.

But Yin Shao found it incredibly beautiful…

The person he had thought about day and night stood before him. Yin Shao was so excited that he felt like crying.

Yin Shao reached out his hand, his mouth opening to call Bai Yu’s name.

He missed him so much…

Bai Yu should also miss him.

Yin Shao had never known that he could love someone this much.

He had always believed that Bai Yu was dead.

The unbearable heartache and despair had left him in utter agony.

But now, everything before him told him that Bai Yu was still alive…

And he even remained in his humanoid form.

Tears fell one by one…

The overwhelming excitement in his heart surpassed everything. It was as if heaven had shown him mercy.

However, just at that moment, Yin Shao saw the snake demon walk out from the side.

He embraced Bai Yu from behind and held him in his arms.

Bai Yu stood in his embrace, not rejecting it.

The snake demon smiled faintly at him, then lowered his head to kiss his cheek.

This scene was so harmonious.

The two of them seemed like a loving couple, incredibly intimate…

But this beautiful scene froze Yin Shao in place.

The words stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.

He stared blankly at everything before him.

He felt like his heart shattered at that moment…
