My Master Went Mad After I Died

The Demon Queen, Grace Sullivan, wanted my heart. With it, one could be perceptive and see things crystal-clear. But she refused to accept a heart tainted by mortal emotions.She said, “Let’s make a deal, Henry. If your wife or your master is willing to come and save you, I’ll spare your life.“However, if neither of them comes, your heart will be mine. I’ll forge it into an artifact of immortality.”I lowered my eyes. My body was covered in wounds sliced almost down to the bone. Even the slightest movement sent waves of unbearable pain through me.I no longer wanted to vie with Yale Xenford. But I was trapped in the Demon Realm. I had lost all my cultivation, so I had no choice.Grace flicked her wrist, and a Spirit Mirror appeared before us. The bargain began.I saw my wife, Snow Lockwood, sparring with Yale. Their swords danced back and forth, and they exchanged affectionate glances with every move.My master, Emma Carter, sat nearby. She sipped her drink and meditated in sil

They remained silent.As for me, the empty space in my chest no longer brought me any sorrow.There was no point in feeling sad anymore.My heart was gone. Before long, I would lose all five of my senses. No medicine or cure could save me.Besides, there was no one left in this world who was worth my heartbreak.I lowered my eyes and said calmly, “I’m not feeling well, so I can’t receive guests. Snow, Yale, everyone, please leave.”After saying that, I turned around and went back into my room.Snow frowned as if she wanted to stop me. Before she could say anything, Yale swayed slightly. She immediately panicked. She hurried over to support him and left in a rush with everyone else.“Yale, are you all right? Is the Heart-Devouring Affliction acting up again? Don’t worry. I’ll take you to Madam right away.”She supported Yale as they walked away.Yale nodded faintly and leaned weakly against her shoulder. She looked at him with nothing but concern.I found it utterly absurd. I

She turned away with a flick of her sleeve. She looked utterly heartless.My body grew colder and colder. Just when tears were about to fall, she turned back.She bent down and held me up with obvious reluctance. Then she supported me inside to the bed.When she saw my tears, she frowned and said, “Stop causing trouble. We can still be fine.”After saying that, she placed the white sword charm in her hand beside my bed and turned to leave.…In a daze, I dreamed of my younger self. I was dressed in a blue robe, and I held Snow’s hand as we walked together.She said she would treat me well for the rest of my life. She said she would give me a blue sword charm every year on my birthday.Her expression was gentle and full of affection.Even in my dream, I still shed silent tears.Then the scene changed. I was left alone.Emma brought Yale back from the mortal world. Yale cried at the slightest thing. Emma was endlessly patient with him. She spoiled him and constantly told me to

“I curse Yale. I hope he never finds peace in death…”The smile on my face never reached my eyes. The rest of my words were forced back into my throat.When her power struck me, I spat out mouthfuls of blood. It felt as if I was about to lose the last bit of my remaining lifespan. The only reason I was still alive was that I had a little bit of it left, along with the demon parasite Grace had given me out of pity.Once the demon parasite disappeared, my lifespan would run out as well.“You fool, you really can’t stand Yale, can you?”Emma’s face turned dark. When her gaze fell on my pale face and the blood at the corner of my lips, the coldness in her eyes faded slightly. Perhaps she could not bear to see me like this.In the end, her voice softened.“Yale has never done anything to you.”I laughed. Every bone in my body seemed to be suffering unbearable pain.What was the point of living anymore?But I hated this. I had become a useless person. I could not even get revenge.

My mind grew heavy and clouded. Before I passed out, I saw two figures rush toward me in panic. Their expressions were completely different.I also saw Yale kneeling on the floor. His eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy.I believed that this time, I was finally free. Perhaps dying sooner was the best thing that could happen.In my next life, I would never meet them again.“Henry, are you all right?”“Henry, what are you doing now…”How ridiculous. After learning the truth, they finally panicked when they saw me collapse.It felt like someone lifted me into their arms. My mind was still hazy. The voices around me were loud and chaotic.But Yale’s voice was especially clear.“No. Madam, Snow, please don’t leave me…”His voice was choked with tears. He sounded so wronged. But this time, for the first time, neither of them went to him.I heard Emma say, “Take Yale into custody. We will deal with him later.”I heard Snow panic and order someone to find an immortal physicia
