Chapter 986: 983 Chapter: Accustomed to Warmth

Tang Ye watched Li Qingtian in front of him, his eyes reflecting the utmost complexity of emotions. The sudden warmth made him extremely uncomfortable; it had been a long time since he’d felt this way. Memories of Li Henian crazily flashed through his mind. That familiar face was right in front of him; he wanted to call out to her, but his own memories were also competing with those of Li Henian.

The personalities formed by these two sets of memories constantly collided in his consciousness, making Tang Ye feel somewhat mentally disordered. Although Tang Ye’s memories were intact, Li Henian’s memories, while extensive, were incomplete, creating a personality that lacked certain aspects. In the battle with Tang Ye’s own personality, he always found himself at a disadvantage, but the kinship from Li Henian’s personality occasionally made Tang Ye feel inferior.

He truly wanted to possess Li Qingtian’s love for himself, but he resented others showing affection due to the projection of another person, bestowing love meant for someone else onto him.

This was a desecration of Tang Ye!

"Actually, I’m not..."

"All right, no talking while eating, just eat."

Tang Ye watched as Li Qingtian had just begun to speak, but she quickly picked a large piece of meat into his bowl, forcibly stopping the words he hadn’t yet spoken.

Helpless, Tang Ye could only stretch his chopsticks towards a dish of spicy garlic pork, picked up a chopstick-full of chili and garlic, then dunked another piece of meat into the sauce at the bottom of the plate and shoveled a big mouthful into his mouth along with some rice. In that bite, the vegetables made up half the mouthful, yet Tang Ye tasted none of the rice; his mouth was filled only with the flavors of garlic and chili.

After taking a bite, Tang Ye stopped moving. He slightly furrowed his brows, as if pondering something, and the emotions in his eyes flickered strangely. After a long mental struggle and silence, Li Qingtian soon noticed his odd behavior and waved her hand in front of Tang Ye’s eyes.

"Henian, what’s wrong?"

Tang Ye snapped back to reality, looked at Li Qingtian, shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and scooped another mouthful of food. His eyes soon filled with the same expression as before, and quickly, he seemed to make a decision. A kill-intent appeared in his gaze towards Li Qingtian, but it wavered, indicating he was also uncertain about actually taking such action.

After picking another dish but before it could reach his mouth, Tang Ye’s eyes narrowed. In his view, Li Qingtian’s figure in front of him began to lose color, changing from vivid greens, whites, and blacks to greys, and then Li Qingtian’s figure and the surroundings started to abstract, emitting TV-like white noise.

The deep black wooden table seemed to be stripped of its color by an invisible force, turning into a line that tapered around Tang Ye, and on the white wall behind him, a black flower bloomed, beautiful yet lethal.

Soon, the flower blossomed, its petals unfolding, but inside was a face identical to his own, its mouth full of fangs roaring at him, and the full petals also sprouted sharp teeth!

A chilling light radiated directly at him, and the colors of everything around were being frenziedly drained. He did not know how much time had passed—it could have been centuries, or it might not have even been a second—but his world turned into shades of gray, and the delicious-looking food on the table morphed into rotten maggots crawling on a rat. What was tempting a second ago became revolting the next.

Although the world before him had turned gray, it did not stop there. It was evolving into darkness, and in the depths of the black, Tang Ye saw a mist of blood.

The walls were no longer smooth; a vortex had appeared on them, seemingly ready to swirl everything on earth into it.

"Come, eat, isn’t this your favorite?"

The completely distorted Li Qingtian in front of him used S-shaped chopsticks to pick up a piece of rotten meat and place it into his bowl, which also contained moldy rice.

Her actions unleashed the ferocity inside Tang Ye that he could no longer control. He lifted his hand, the nails on his fingers turned black and began to grow wildly, soon transforming into terrifyingly sharp claws. The flesh on his arms tore away strip by strip to cover his skin and along his spine, numerous tentacles burst forth from his flesh with a sound of "put-put" as ominous white bones spread from his body.

He raised his newly clawed hand and grabbed the unsuspecting Li Qingtian, and his other hand instantly transformed into a sharp claw as well. With force and ferocity, he plunged it into her body.

The flesh under his sharp claws instantly tore apart, and her blood, like fine red wine, wildly splashed over his head. He reveled in the taste of her delicious blood, tearing open her perfectly soft skin, breaking her limbs, grinding her bones, and all of her blood, all of her!

The blackness around him turned red with Li Qingtian’s blood, the red spreading madly in the black, and in an instant, or perhaps over several centuries, Tang Ye’s world turned red, that tainted color!

Just as he tore Li Qingtian’s body in half, with a "whoosh," the red, black, and grey colors of the world receded like the tide, and the original colors refilled the space, the world returning to normal. Yet, Li Qingtian still sat there, just tilting her head and looking at him with eyes full of confusion.

"Henian, what’s wrong? Is it that my cooking isn’t to your taste?"

Hearing her words, Tang Ye’s blank stare gradually regained calmness. Realizing it had been his hallucination made him a bit anxious, not knowing when these frequent spells began to emerge, even turning into a zombie couldn’t help him escape.

But right now, he didn’t have time to think about that. He quickly shook his head at Li Qingtian and repeatedly said, "No, no, no, it’s delicious, it’s just..." He didn’t finish his sentence, wanting to give Li Qingtian the impression that suddenly eating the food she cooked brought back a flood of memories.

He pushed the food around on the plate with his chopsticks, then scooped a large mouthful into his bowl and swallowed.

He looked up at Li Qingtian, his cheeks bulging with food,

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious."

As he spoke, he scooped several more mouthfuls into his mouth, his comical appearance bringing a radiant smile to Li Qingtian’s face.

She continuously added more food to Tang Ye’s bowl with her chopsticks, while she hardly ate much herself. Tang Ye noticed this, and although he said nothing, his feelings were complex. As he spent more time in that warm atmosphere, the personality of Li Henian within him became calmer, and the personality of Tang Ye himself grew accustomed to this warmth due to Li Henian’s influence.
