Liu Buli's actions were indeed a bit too fast. The voice in his mind seemed not to have reacted before he realized what Liu Buli had done, and he was somewhat unsure whether to be surprised or nervous. "H-how could you tear this book?"
"Why can't I tear it? I can not only tear it, but I can also shred it to pieces." Liu Buli sneered and immediately sped up his actions. The voice didn't even have time to dissuade him before Liu Buli had already torn the book in his hands into fragments.
As they were thrown out, the pages, shimmering with light, were like shattered galaxies, tearing through the surrounding darkness. In terms of spectacle, it was actually quite beautiful.
Looking at the scene, Liu Buli couldn't help but curve his lips.
He glanced around again and said, "Now, have I made my decision clear enough to you? If you're a little sensible, just let me leave here. I've lived for so many years, and the thing I fear the least and hate the most is being threatened by others. You've stepped on a mine, do you know? It's truly detestable." He said this, clearly prepared for the possibility that the other party might not let him leave directly. He began forming hand seals and chanting incantations. Crimson lotuses bloomed in the darkness. Liu Buli had already prepared himself to incinerate this realm, but as he was about to exert force, the scene before him suddenly flickered and transformed into a familiar face.
Lu Wuming was leaning close to him, his face filled with tension as he stared at him. Seeing Liu Buli open his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch Liu Buli's forehead, as if to check his condition. Confirming that his forehead was not feverish and that his spiritual consciousness and soul were normal, Lu Wuming finally relaxed. He said, "Master, what just happened? You've had your eyes closed since we came out. You didn't respond when I called you, and you didn't move. I thought you might have been enchanted by something, and it scared me to death."
Lu Wuming spoke with lingering fear.
Liu Buli pondered for a moment. From a certain perspective, his thoughts were not entirely wrong.
With the principle of absolutely not hiding anything from the other party, Liu Buli simply took a few deep breaths, confirmed that the surrounding environment was fine, and then unhesitatingly recounted everything he had seen and heard to Lu Wuming.
After he finished speaking, he could clearly feel Lu Wuming's emotions instantly sour.
Staring at Liu Buli with wide eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, where can we find the owner of that voice? He actually dared to curse you, I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"But we don't even know what it is yet. Based on my experience, I think it's likely a being like the Heavenly Dao. If it's the Heavenly Dao, where are you going to find it to kill? Don't think about it anymore." Liu Buli smiled and rubbed Lu Wuming's head, as if to comfort their silly, big puppy.
Then, feeling that this explanation might be somewhat inappropriate, he thought about it and added, "As for what exactly it is, when we meet You Siqi later, ask him. He might know. However, if it really is the Heavenly Dao, then what it said is probably true. You said 'future without light,' is it planning to blind me?"
When Liu Buli said this, it was as if the protagonist he was speculating about was not himself. His tone was light and relaxed, showing no signs of tension.
But hearing his words, Lu Wuming's emotions became extremely agitated. He clenched his fists forcefully and shook his head, saying, "Impossible. If he wants Master to be unable to see, then I can completely replace your eyes for you. It's not like I haven't done similar things before. Shen Muzhi could do it once, he can do it countless times. I don't believe that if I keep exchanging with you, I can't get you a pair of eyes that can see?"
He spoke with utmost seriousness.
Liu Buli imagined that scene and felt that Lu Wuming was indeed correct. If there were any defects in his body, Lu Wuming would definitely replace them with his own. No matter what it was, he could exchange. At worst, using the methods taught by Qi Yu, he could even seize a body and transfer his soul. Therefore, the phrase "future without light" should have nothing to do with his physical condition.
Reaching this conclusion, Liu Buli couldn't help but sigh. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and he shook his head, saying, "Wuming, if it's not a physical problem, then it seems our worries are about to come true."
Lu Wuming frowned. "What else is there?"
Liu Buli murmured, "Where in this world would there be a place without any light?"
Perhaps because they had been discussing similar topics recently, Lu Wuming immediately understood when he spoke this.
The expression on his face became even more grim. He said, "Master, are you implying that the voice is predicting that we will live in the Ghost Realm in the future?"
"That's just my thought, I'm not sure if it's right or wrong." Liu Buli shook his head. "A place with absolutely no light, besides the Ghost Realm, I can't think of anything else. However, if you're with me, I don't think even the Ghost Realm would matter. Anyway, as long as we're together, I don't really care if the surroundings are pitch black."
As he said this, Liu Buli maintained his usual nonchalant attitude. However, Lu Wuming's face grew increasingly somber, his fingers clenching incessantly at his sides. But in the end, as if he had come to a realization, he suddenly relaxed and looked up into Liu Buli's eyes, saying, "Master, do you remember the promise I made to you when we first met?"
Liu Buli blinked.
Lu Wuming back then was obedient and adorable, and he had made more than one promise. Now, to suddenly ask him to pick out one of them, he truly couldn't.
Seeing his expression, Lu Wuming knew what he was thinking. However, he had no intention of keeping him in suspense. After a moment of silence, Lu Wuming continued, "I want to tell you, if in the end, we really go to the Ghost Realm, I will absolutely not let you live in darkness. You like light, so I will make you a sun. Even if it's fake, I will make it illuminate the entire ghost city, and I will never let you feel the slightest discomfort."
