Chapter 45

The ability that Qu Yesi had always wanted was easily obtained by me. If he knew, he would go crazy.

It is really disheartening that what some people cannot achieve in their entire lives, others can accomplish effortlessly.

Let the believers find Xiao Ruoyin and hand Zhang Shan's body to him. At this moment, I have left Zhang Shan's body and followed Wu Yunran to the side hall where the ice coffin is parked. After all, it is my own body, I will definitely keep it well.

The young man sitting beside the ice coffin saw Wu Yunran coming over, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. He was not in a dying state. Chu Yingyu could no longer see him.

It floated lightly above me, and I suddenly felt a faint attraction, as if my soul and body were attracted to each other like magnets.

To be cautious, I touched my face with my hand and felt it sink into my face instead of passing through it as I had initially.

My body, clad in a red wedding gown, lay in an icy coffin, still as fresh as ever. It's perfectly fine to shamelessly call her Sleeping Beauty. In fact, the only noticeable part of my body was the stitches on my neck.

Doctor Yao Baicao had done the mending very delicately at the beginning, but it looked a bit strange now. It didn't look like stitching a wound, but rather like threading needles on intact skin, leaving horrible scars.

"Qin Xiao'e, don't return to your body yet. Let me check it out."

After saying something to the air, Wu Yunran asked Chu Yingyu to carry my body out.

Chu Yingyu looked around and asked, "Did you let Xiao'e's soul leave her body?"

Wu Yunran: "Yes, I speculate that her presence will oppress Zhang Shan's soul and consciousness, so she must leave as soon as possible."

Completely disregarding the safety of others, Chu Yingyu frowned and asked, "Can Xiao'e return to her body now?"

"I haven't gone back yet. If you trust me, please help me."

"I'm afraid her body will decay if she leaves Han Bingyu."

After saying this worriedly, Chu Yingyu still didn't move to hug me.

Seeing his worried look, Wu Yunran smiled and patted him, "Calm down. The corpse decays much earlier than you think. You came to the Xuanyin Sect to get the Ice Jade. Even if the return trip was quick, her body should have shown signs of decay. But she still looks like a living person. Why is that?"

Chu Yingyu answered blankly: "Ice Jade can repair the body."

"Then this Ice Jade is incredible. It's not as miraculous as people say. It can indeed preserve a corpse from decay, but that only works if it's placed within 12 hours of death. As for repairing a corpse, that's impossible."

Wu Yunran knew more about the effects of ice jade than Yao Baicao. His conclusion made Chu Yingyu confused at first, but then he looked expectant.

"This isn't the effect of the Ice Jade, but Xiao'e protecting herself?"

"You reacted pretty quickly. Now you can take the body out. Look at your baby."

Chu Yingyu didn't care about being teased. He wanted to reach out to my body, but when he touched my hair, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Wu Yunran and I both noticed his unnatural pause. Wu Yunran thought that there was some kind of rebounding body-protecting magic skill that was passively operating, so he reached out to touch it.

The result was a dimple on my face.

Wu Yunran hit the nail on the head: "You can touch it, but you don't dare? You killed him because you couldn't overcome the poison, and now you've come to your senses and are finding it hard to accept it?"

Then the aftermath would be too great.

Chu Yingyu concealed the emotions in his eyes, took a deep breath, restrained his trembling, and carefully took my body out of the ice coffin and held it in his arms.

I'm really worried about his recovery process after this!

At Wu Yunran's request, he stripped off my red wedding dress, leaving only my underwear. Sometimes the boy laid me flat, sometimes he turned me over. Chu Yingyu did all the physical intimacy, while Wu Yunran only pulled my eyelids, felt my pulse, and applied acupuncture.

Wu Yunran looked at the person whose hands and feet were not so nimble and could not help but complain: "Aren't you two husband and wife? Why are you blushing like this? Besides, she is not really a living person now."

Chu Yingyu: "...No, we are not husband and wife. We are not actually husband and wife."

Wu Yunran: "Then they are married. I never thought that the former top killer would be so naive when it comes to matters between men and women."

No! He's not innocent! When he kisses you, he's like a tiger holding its prey. He won't let go until you're suffocating. Even being shy doesn't stop him from kissing you!

The soul was shouting nearby, but the two men didn't notice at all.

After carefully laying my body flat, Chu Yingyu asked with a concerned look.

"Can Xiao'e be saved?"

"Your ancestors' graves are smoking. Qin Xiao'e is indeed not dead. At the moment of her death, her body activated her divine power and maintained a state of suspended animation. You can say she is a living dead, similar to the Turtle Breathing Technique. She looks very dead, but her body has been protected by her true energy. Is there such a powerful martial art in the world? It's hard to believe without seeing it with your own eyes. It seems that the reputation of the Heavenly Immortal Guest is well-deserved. No wonder Liang Lun is obsessed with her."

Upon hearing Liang Lun's name, Chu Yingyu said, "I won't let Liang Lun touch her again."

Wu Yunran sneered: "You killed them all. Poor little Miss Qin, in whose hands would she be safer?"

Chu Yingyu was left speechless.

I was floating in the sky and couldn't help but nod in agreement. Don't look at the dark clouds as careless, they are really clear-headed people.

"Look, the fatal wound on her neck has completely healed over time due to the circulation of her internal energy. That's why the stitches are so noticeable and unique. They don't seem to be treating the wound, but rather like decoration on the skin, because the wound is no longer there."

As Wu Yunran said this, he stretched out a finger and gently stroked my throat with his fingertip.

When he did this, Chu Yingyu's pupils suddenly contracted, as if his throat was strangled and he couldn't move for a moment.

"Don't run away. Look at Qin Xiao'e. I'm going to remove this line right now."

"I……"

"If you can't even do this, how can you wield a sword? She said if you want to be a hero, you must first calm your mind and then pick up your martial arts skills."

Wu Yunran said this, not giving Chu Yingyu time to think. From his sleeve slipped a small knife with a wooden handle, the size of his index finger. It was a light and thin medical knife. If you were not a professional killer, it would be difficult to kill someone with it.

But there are certain rules for killing someone beautifully.

As a former top killer, Chu Yingyu knew best how a small knife that was used to save lives could take someone's life.

The boy was trembling all over, but he couldn't help but face the scene of my neck being cut by the knife, even though it would arouse the fear in his heart.

Wu Yunran was not only recovering his body, but also healing his heart. Only if he was not trapped by that bloody night could he fully recover.

The skin on my neck was smooth, wrinkle-free. Its soft, soft surface was studded with interlocking lines. The cold blade, steady and sharp, sliced ​​through the skin, severing the interwoven lines in the flesh. The blade, pulled out by dark, cloud-stained fingers, drew forth a trace of crimson blood.

"Look, her skin is still smooth and elastic, which is not what a truly dead person would have. You mistakenly think that this is all due to the ice jade, but in fact, it is Miss Qin's own internal strength that is supporting it."

"Young man, you are lucky. Not everyone has the chance to start over when they regret something."

"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"It will take an equally powerful internal force to break her living dead state. The Xuanyin Sect currently doesn't have such a powerful master. But it doesn't matter. The Immortal Witch and the Bitter and Happy Buddha are coming soon."

Chu Yingyu's face was filled with eager anticipation, mixed with nervousness. As for the dark color that unconsciously flashed in his eyes, it was a fleeting scene.

But I didn't miss any of his expressions this time.

And I understood his emotions. My resurrection was a good thing, but we both knew that I would leave him.

If he could understand Li Yi's emotions, then keeping me trapped by his side in the form of a living dead would probably be the most satisfying situation.

He must have had such thoughts, but he suppressed them.

How should I put it? After going through so much, I seem to be more aware of people's hearts. If it was vague and chaotic before, now I can tell what the other person wants and whether they are sincere.

I still don’t thank the world at all for making me like this.

After I completely left Zhang Shan's body and did not re-possess her, Xiao Ruoyin stayed by her side every day. Wu Yunran had studied it, but in the end, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

If you want Zhang Shan to get better, then first I need to return her soul to her place and bring her back to life, and then use the inner strength of the lone brave old man to bring back Zhang Shan's consciousness.

After going around in circles, everything returns to the starting point.

These days I have become a wandering ghost again. I am always by Chu Yingyu's side. He also feels my presence, so when he wants to communicate with me, he speaks directly to the air.

Everything is fine with him now. His expression is one of satisfaction and expectation, without any dark undertones.

This young man is waiting for me to come back to life with all his heart.

In mid-October, the "Immortal Witch" Leng Xinrui and the "Buddha of Bitterness and Joy" Chou Chou came to visit the Xuanyin Sect.

At first, I might not have been too impressed by the identities of these two people. After all, I was just a rookie and had no idea how rare it was to become a big shot.

And this time, I had a profound experience.

Anyone in the Xuanyin Sect who had a bit of insight almost popped their eyes out when they saw these two martial arts legends coming.

The kind-hearted Chouchou walked around like he was on stage, waving his hands and smiling. He didn't look like a centenarian at all. He even spoke in a very modern way to a guardian who admired him.

"Would you like me to sign your autograph?"

When I heard this, I was so excited that I almost thought the other person was a fellow countryman who had traveled through time! At this moment, I finally understood the excitement of the lonely brave old man when he saw me.

However, Monk Qiuchou was not a time traveler. He just got along too well with the old man who was the Lone Brave Man and learned a lot of modern words from him, even the song "The Lone Brave Man".

Leng Xinrui didn't bother with small talk. Her eyes, which saw through the mundane world, were piercing. She grabbed Chu Yingyu by the collar and asked, "Boy, you took me away from me back then, and now you're dead. Did you even bother asking an old senior for help? And you're still calling me an old witch?"

Chu Yingyu: "You are indeed old..."

The young man who was punched in the stomach bent over in pain because his injury had not yet fully recovered. It seemed that the punch was very heavy, and the fact that he did not roll on the ground in pain was his last act of stubbornness.

"Tsk tsk, why do you hit my patient as soon as you come? I asked you to come here to help!" Wu Yunran hurriedly stepped forward to stop Leng Xinrui. His distressed expression was like dried herbs blown away by the wind.

"Stop talking nonsense! Women who talk about love never have a good ending. I should have snatched that stupid girl away from me and trained her to be the best in the world!" Leng Xinrui said with shining eyes. She waved her wide sleeves and said domineeringly, "Take me to see her body!"

I suddenly felt a little regretful. Time passed and went back to that New Year's Eve. If I could follow Leng Xinrui, the scenery would probably be different.

Oh, I couldn't get away. I was too close to Chu Yingyu at that time. With the level of favorability he had towards me at that time, if he saw me walking towards Leng Xinrui, he would kill me without mercy.

Oh, life is really difficult.
