This was the part of the soul that had been forcibly extracted by the refiner.
That soul looked like it was only six or seven years old. Its small face was pale and its eyes were empty and numb. It was like a lifeless puppet.
If possible, Ye Yunlan wanted to destroy the Soul Refining Pearl to break the restriction.
But doing so would destroy the Soul Refining Pearl and the part of Shen Shu's soul.
The refinement method of a living person was so insidious. Even if the refinement was not completed, Shen Shu's life would be connected to this Soul Refining Pearl. This meant that he would not be able to escape the control of others in this lifetime.
He held the Soul Refining Pearl in his hand and rubbed it slowly with his fingertips.
He was thinking.
Suddenly, he felt the unconscious youth in his arms move.
He looked down and saw Shen Shu's eyelashes fluttering. Shen Shu slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he saw Ye Yunlan, Shen Shu's eyes lit up. But immediately, he noticed the green pearl in Ye Yunlan's hand. His dark pupils shrank. He instinctively reached out to grab the pearl, but Ye Yunlan dodged.
Shen Shu's eyes darkened. He suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Immortal Master … even you want to use me?"
Use.
Shen Shu used this word naturally. Ye Yunlan frowned subconsciously. He reached out to touch Shen Shu's head and explained softly, "Your soul is connected to the Soul Refining Pearl. If it is destroyed, you will be seriously injured, or even die."
Shen Shu tilted his head and looked at him. "Is that really so?"
The youth's tone was very light. It seemed that he did not really believe it. But he really did not try to snatch the pearl. He just raised his head and rubbed against Shen Shu's hand. A faint smile appeared on his pale face. He said hoarsely, "Immortal Master saved me again … I am so happy."
Looking at him like this, Ye Yunlan did not know why, but he suddenly remembered the first time they met. The youth stubbornly asked him how he could repay him.
— Immortal Master, tell me, what do you want?
— What can you give me?
— Everything. I can give you everything.
— Including your life?
— Including my life.
The Soul Refining Pearl in his hand suddenly became very heavy.
Shen Shu couldn't move too much due to his injuries. It would take some time for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to arrive. Ye Yunlan was afraid that Shen Shu would pass out again. After a moment of silence, she said, "Shen Shu, tell me about your past."
"My … past?"
"What happened before you met me. Tell me about your family and friends. "
Shen Shu said, "I … don't have any relatives or friends. In the past … I might have, but I've already forgotten about it. I only remember that night many years ago … there was a lot of blood. Blood filled the sky. Everyone died. "
Ye Yunlan didn't ask him which night it was. She just listened quietly.
"I was taken to the mountains. There … were many people of my age. We were locked up in a large wooden shed, and every once in a while … someone would be taken away. "
"Those who were taken away … did not return."
"One day, they took me to a cave. Inside the cave … were white bones and poisonous snakes. They broke my limbs and dug open my abdomen. They put the bead … inside and let the snakes crawl onto my body. "As Shen Shu spoke, she suddenly grabbed his shirt." I'm in so much pain, Immortal Lord. "
Ye Yunlan hugged him and said softly, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It's all in the past."
Shen Shu nestled in Ye Yunlan's arms. He sniffed the light and gentle fragrance on Ye Yunlan's body and murmured, "Mm."
He paused. A trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes. Then, he continued, "It was Liu Qing … who saved me. He secretly took me and the bead out of the cave. "
"At first … I was very grateful. But later, I realized that he didn't treat me as a human being. He only treated me as a … beast that he raised."
"He took me back to Tenzong. At first … he was afraid that I would hurt people, so he chained me. Later, he let me go when I learned to pretend to be obedient."
