Broken Relationship

Yuan Yu's clothes have long been burned to ashes, and every piece of skin begins to rot and swell.
He sat on the ground, his hands around his body, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, and his lips burned as he struggled to speak a few words.
"Master, Brother, I'm sorry..."
Upon hearing these words, Beichen's heart trembled. By the time he came to his senses, the fire had already been extinguished, and Yuanyu had turned into ashes.
"Yuanyu... I..."
This is his unique spell, Heavenly Fire.
It is specifically used to punish criminals, burning their souls to ashes, never to be reincarnated.
Beichen's body shook and he quickly leaned on the wall to steady himself.
"She's dead."
元玉终于……还是死了……
——
At this moment.
正在睡觉的敛清突然醒来心跳得很快像是被人紧紧捏住。
手指微微颤抖，摸着心口的位置。
"Yuan Yu..."
She opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the bed as if she had seen something terrifying.
It really happened!
Frantically, she used her magical ability to transmit her voice for miles and called out loudly.
"Yuan Yu!"
The door suddenly opened.
Beichen was dressed in a white outfit, walking steadily with a calm voice.
"Master, why did you suddenly wake up?"
Lianqing saw his plain eyes, trying to suppress her trembling voice.
"What about Yuanyu...?"
Beichen's gaze remained calm as he spoke without hesitation.
"She's dead."
"Boom!!"
Lianqing, unable to control her power, knocked Beichen down and grabbed his collar.
"Beichen!"
"What have you done?!"
Beichen's body was lightly injured, his hair disheveled, and he boldly grabbed the woman's hand.
"I said it! I burned him alive with Heavenly Fire!"
"Because of him! He deserves to die!"
Lianqing was startled by his reaction and even forgot to withdraw her hand, staying in a daze.
"You, how could it be like this."
This is not the disciple she taught!
Absolutely not!
"Hahaha!" Translation:
Beichen suddenly burst into laughter, but there was no trace of joy in his voice.
"I have always been selfish and despicable."
Tightly holding the woman's hand, he pulled her closer and whispered softly in her ear.
"Lianqing, I won't allow you to look at anyone other than me."
This is the first time he has called her by name.
Her body trembled faintly and she shouted loudly.
"Evildoer!"
What she is leaning against now is a demon, ready to open its sharp teeth and bite her throat.
The chest of North Star heaved violently, deeply angered.
"You must not utter the name of this old man!"
North Star released his grip and embraced her, gently stroking her hair as she leaned on his shoulder.
"Master, can we still be like we used to?"
"Let's pretend that nothing ever happened, I'll obediently listen to you."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she forced a mocking smile.
"Hehe! No! This old man misjudged you."
"As the Heavenly Emperor, this old man teaches you to treat people fairly and resist evil without oppressing the weak."
"Now you are ruthless!"
She pushed him hard in the chest, her body leaning against the window.
"Go!"
"I don't have a disciple like you!"
"From today on, we are totally finished! There is no more master-disciple bond between us!"
Beichen looked at the woman blankly, shaking his head awkwardly and repeating it.
"I don't, I don't want to, I don't agree!"
"I don't want to cut ties with you!!!"
Lianqing took out a green jade hairpin from the wooden box on the dressing table.
Beichen's eyes were filled with shock, and she realized what she was going to do. She hurriedly rushed over to stop her.
"Don't!"
Lianqing clenched the jade hairpin in her hand and gently exerted force, turning the hairpin into powder that scattered on the ground.
"Get out!"
Beichen knelt in front of the woman, grabbing her clothes, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"Master, I'm sorry!
"Please don't abandon me! I promise to listen and obey, I will never make the same mistake again!"
The trembling hand on the robe clenched tightly, and the heart was in pain.
"Master raised you, taught you etiquette and how to be a good person, but now you harbor jealousy and harm your junior fellow brother."
"This old body can't educate you anymore. I hope you will repent and take care of yourself!"
Beichen clung tightly to the woman's legs, fearing that she would let go of him, and cried out loudly with a hoarse voice.
"Master, I don't want to sever ties with you!"
"Please don't abandon me! I beg you!"
"I really know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
Concealing his clear eyes, a cold flow trickled down. He cast a spell to trap the person in place, and left without looking back.
"You go ahead."
Beichen was trapped and unable to move his body.
He watched helplessly as the woman's figure grew further and further away, his eyes turning red as he shouted,
"Master!! Don't go!!!"
Since then, Lian Qing's hidden aura disappeared for ten thousand years.
After Beichen's character changed drastically, he became friendly and easy-going with everyone.
Since Lianqing came back, the two of them have never spoken to each other.
Their relationship is like a typical ruler and subject.
——
End of flashback.
Beichen wiped the tears from his face and stood up from the ground, restoring his calmness.
Sitting quietly in a chair, he drank a cup of tea without saying a word.
Ji Zi walked in with an innocent look, wearing a gentle smile, and greeted everyone with a smiley face.
"Is the Heavenly Emperor really not willing to make that deal with me?"
Beichen couldn't be bothered to raise his eyelids to look at her, his voice coming out faintly as he touched the teacup in his hand.
"I refuse."
Ji Zi smiled innocently, reaching up to touch her chin.
"Hmm, the Lord of the Underworld has gone to the endless abyss with his utmost sinister power, and coupled with the unstable barrier, he might break through soon..."
"Pa!"
The cup was angrily thrown to the ground, making a violent sound.
Beichen sat in a chair with a dark complexion.
"How did you know all of this!"
Ji Zi sighed.
"As long as you agree to make this deal with me, I promise that no one will know this secret."
She cast a spell and collected the fragments of the tea cup on the ground, then walked up to the man.
"And besides, I willingly offer my soul to strengthen the barrier, so you aren't losing out at all!"
Beichen stood up and looked at the woman who was shorter than him, a coldness flashing through his pupils.
"Alright, I want to see what you want to do."
Clearly, she was just an ordinary matchmaker, with such weak magical power, but she seemed to know a lot of things.
纪姿笑呵呵的拉开距离，转身离开。
"My purpose has always been the Night Archer."
North Star watched her as she walked away, with a strange gleam in his eyes.
——
Endless Abyss.
The space is filled with a dark and oppressive atmosphere.
Huge and uneven walls are suspended in the air, beneath which is a fiery-blue flame.
Above in the sky is an endless darkness.
Baili Ming slowly opens his eyes and finds himself floating in the air, with limited control over his body.
"Where am I..."
His mind is fuzzy, as if he had a very long dream.
Strange, why am I here.
Where did his memories go, he couldn't remember anything.
Weirdly shaped blue flames hovered in the air.
Baili Ming's finger accidentally touched it, and it felt icy and painful for a while.
"Um, my chest hurts."
After he adapted to his body, he was able to slowly float and rotate in the air.
Not far behind, there is a huge stone with what seems to be a person tied to it.
Bai Li Ming quickly moves over to the stone and gets closer.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The man on the stone has a pale complexion, thin as skin and bones, and his hands are chained to the crevice.
Baili Ming reached out and patted his face, trying to wake him up.
"Wake up!"
Yeyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he breathed weakly as he raised his eyelids to look at the man speaking to him.
"Who... are you?"
Been staying in the Abyss for so long.
Never seen any other creatures besides Beichen able to intrude here.
