Yang Su decided to be upfront.
"Husband...Is there something wrong with Senior Brother?"
Yang Su grasped her chest and acted timidly.
Jian Yu showed a slight shock.
"...Why do you think that way?"
Yang Su observed his every move and also realize that maybe there was something more from behind the scene.
"A womans's...instinct?"
"..." Jian Yu just looked at her without saying anything for a sec.
"Don't worry about it....when I die, you should ask senior brother to take care of you."
Yang Su never noticed it before, but now she could tell. Whenever he mentioned his death or his senior brother, he would always make a scrunched face unlike his emotionless face.
"Please tell me husband...I want to know the truth." 'I need to play the loving wife!'
"Fine...I guess it doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
"My master and Senior brother-"
He looks at her with killing intent and says, "Wants to take over my body!"
Her eyes shot out in shock. "What? Surely thats a joke?" However she also knew, that Jian Yu would never joke....He was always serious.
"Why would they...."
He turns away and with a weak voice, "Years ago, when I was adopted along with senior brother I also thought that it was impossible. But then they were acting strange and master thought that I was just a stupid child. What did you say again? Woman's intuition? For me I had a intuition that they wanted to harm."
"Why would they bring me here, just to harm me?"
"What good would it be? I must be overthinking things. I was taught qi cultivation and given even special medicines that senior brother couldn't."
"But then, when I was on a mission at the age of 12, I stumbled on a demonic cultivators den. Funny isn't it? That I would find a book detailing exactly how to possess a body using all the details that my master had been doing for me."
Yang Su didn't know what to say. A question popped up in her head.
"But why are you dying then?"
He looks at her and gives the most saddest smile he's ever done.
"Why do you think?"
Her eyes widened with shock and realization. "Y-you poisoned yourself?"
"....."
The room was silent. Suddenly she could understand all his logic, all of his tiredness of the world, Simply wanting to rest.
"It can't truly be called poisoning. It's just a demonic technique that allows me to kill who I want in exchange for my life. It's quite handy."
Yang Su couldn't feel happy even after knowing about his situation. She knew humans were disgusting beings who ate their own, but didn't think it was this bad.
"....Something is weird though...."
Jian Yu for the first time expressed his concerns.
"W-what is it?" Yang Su says as she's broken from daydreaming.
His eyes focused on her, "Forget it, not like it matters".
He walks away and as he does, Yang Su felt his solitary. She even felt a little bit bad for him. However she never forgot their positions even for a second. She was a demon, he was a human. Furthermore, they were enemies.
Jian Yu shook his head as he walks away.
'Why did he make me marry you?'
That was the question he can't answer.
"What am I missing here?"
