Chapter 24 The Ghost Is Still There Oh Oh

Helan Wei rarely finds himself in such an embarrassing situation.

To say that he was in a state of disarray is not quite right.

He was squatting there in good health, his clothes were neatly dressed, not even a speck of dust on the corner of his robe, and he was looking down at her from a superior position. On the other hand, Xie Yanyu's hair was a little disheveled, and because she had fallen too many times, her dress was also a little messy, and her white robe was stained with dust and mud, which was very conspicuous.

Helan Wei lowered his eyelids and looked at her quietly.

She looked the more embarrassed one.

But why was the person who was in a more miserable state able to pull the string that controlled his emotions? It was as if she was pulling a blunt knife to stir up his heart and stomach. He felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was burned by an unknown anger, burning and a little sour.

She seemed unaffected.

He looked at her like this, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

He paused in his move to hug her, withdrew his hand, and put some distance between them. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he was unwilling to do so because it would make him look like a clown looking for shame. It seemed that he had to stay here and do something to make her uncomfortable as well in order to maintain his balance.

So he asked her calmly, "Who kissed you?"

Xie Yanyu heard the voice and looked up at him.

His face was different from the gentle and casual one just now. It was a little cold, but even so, he was still handsome. She looked at him and felt that he was very familiar. Many broken memories turned around in her mind, but she just couldn't remember who he was, nor could she tell if he was the person in the cave just now -

wrong.

She couldn't even remember whether there was anyone else in the cave just now.

It was so confusing that her brain couldn't process the question he asked. She could only vaguely respond, "I don't know."

She knows nothing.

She didn't know what he was asking.

She looked a bit blunt and dull now, which was very different from her usual smart look of lowering her head but being full of ideas. Helan Wei knew that she was not very conscious now, so he was not surprised by this answer.

He repeated indifferently: "Don't know?"

Xie Yanyu understood this time.

She blinked slowly, then nodded, her expression still blank.

Seeing her like this, Helan Wei felt a surge of anger mixed with sourness burning directly from his chest to his throat.

She could clearly understand what he said, but she had no reaction. When he asked her questions, it was like throwing a stone into the lake, but there was no ripple on the surface.

His chest rose and fell, and he lowered his body slightly, his expression still indifferent and calm.

But there was restrained resentment in his dark eyes, and harsh words came out of his gentle lips: "Really? Someone left marks all over your neck, but you don't know who that person is. Xie Yanyu, don't tell me you followed me all the way here, stole my token and entered the demon world, just to come here and be flirted with by a demon from nowhere—"

This is really vicious.

Xie Yanyu roughly understood what was said, but her brain was slow to react. She blinked slightly at this time, as if she was thinking about it carefully.

Helan Wei saw that she was a little upset, and then he added the rest of his words coldly: "After flirting with her, he threw her here."

He is arrogant in nature, but always wears a gentle and casual appearance.

He never knew that one day he would be able to say such ugly words. Sometimes words are sharper and more vicious than a knife. Even though he knew that she was not fully awake and that she might not really come to this cave to meet a man secretly, he knew that she could understand his words and would be affected by them. So, his malice grew like vines, and he wanted the knife to fall on her and hurt her.

He has spoken so harshly,

If she had any other purpose for this trip, she would deny it and say that she was not here to meet a man privately.

He looked at her quietly, waiting for her to explain.

But the next second,

But she shook her head.

Then, she was heard to say slowly:

"He didn't leave me here."

Helan Wei didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

He paused and looked at her.

Xie Yanyu's thoughts were confused and his brain was working very slowly, so he spoke very slowly.

She understood what he had just said and explained, "He seemed to say he would come back to find me."

Dumb and honest,

Like a quiet lake, even if a stone is thrown down hard, it still does not cause any ripples.

Helan Wei was almost laughing out of anger. He was even angrier than before, his temples were throbbing, and he looked at her with resentment, but didn't say anything this time.

A faint smell of blood rose up in my throat.

On that side,

Xie Yanyu raised his eyes and looked at him again.

She tried to recall who he was, but no matter how hard she tried, she felt that he was the same person in the cave just now—

If there really was someone in the cave just now.

Her thoughts were in disarray, unable to distinguish reality from dreams. All her memories were shattered into pieces, split and reassembled.

After just one or two sentences, she felt dizzy again and couldn't tell who was who.

So she tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked vaguely, "Did you just say that you wanted me to wait for you here, and then you would come back to find me and take me away?"

As soon as these words fell,

Helan Wei stood up suddenly.

He seemed to suddenly realize how stupid he had been. He followed her here and waited for her outside the cave for so long. While he was waiting for her, she was secretly having an affair with someone inside. When he saw the marks on her body, he didn't even leave immediately. He talked to her here, and he became more and more angry as he talked.

He looked down at her with a blank expression, "Okay. Then just wait for him to come find you."

Xie Yanyu was confused, not knowing whether he understood or not, and said calmly: "Oh oh."

Helan Wei really laughed this time.

He looked at the marks on her neck, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of her and the man in the cave.

He couldn't help but think about what she had done with that man, how intimate and tender they were, to the point that she was filled with that man's scent. Although she had never completely belonged to him, and had been engaged and married to someone else in her previous life, he had always watched from afar. He never thought that seeing all this up close like now would make him so angry.

It was as if his toy had been taken away from him.

He suddenly felt that

What belongs to him should always belong to him, and if it is touched by others, it should be torn up, damaged, or destroyed.

Because the smell of other people made him sick.

A thick white poisonous fog has gradually spread across the mountains and forests.

He saw the mist spreading over and pursed his lips. "Just wait. I want to see if you get poisoned first, or if he comes to you first."

She still held on to his clothes.

He coldly pulled the corner of his clothes out of her palm, turned around and left without even looking at her.

*

The other side.

In the bedroom of the demon palace,

Chen Lang suddenly opened his eyes, then coughed a few times and spat out blood.

The separation of the soul caused great harm to the body. Even though he had the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage and could hold on, after only a short moment of separation, he felt a cracking pain in his dantian, and his soul was injured.

Logically speaking,

He should rest for a while, at least sit down and heal his wounds.

However, at this moment he stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and then quickly walked out the door, as if something extremely important had happened.

But just as I reached the door,

He walked back quickly and came to the mirror.

His face reflected in the mirror was very beautiful, and he always knew that he was beautiful. Once others looked at him, they couldn't take their eyes off him, so he usually wore a mask. He hated those low-brow gazes, no matter if they were from a demon or a human.

But at this time he was going to meet Xie Yanyu, so he didn't plan to wear a mask.

He knew that he was born beautiful, but he was afraid that he would not be in good condition when facing her, and that she would think he was not good-looking enough.

So he quickly adjusted his clothes and hair in front of the mirror,

He longed for her gaze to stay on him a little longer, a little longer.

After everything was tidied, he left quickly again.

He helped her get what she wanted and left her with his scent.

He hoped she would remember him.

But it doesn't matter if you don't remember.

When he sees her and brings her back, he will get to know her again and give her everything.

She would always fall in love with him again.

*

at the same time.

In the border town of the demon world, in the mountains and forests outside the city.

The poisonous fog was still spreading, and the vast white mist enveloped the mountains and forests, making people's vision unclear.

Helan is on the edge of the fog,

If he took a few more steps forward, he would be able to get out of the range covered by the poisonous fog. However, at this moment, he looked back.

There was a vast expanse of emptiness in the fog, and no one was there. He stopped and his face became increasingly gloomy.

After a while,

He flicked his sleeves,

Walk back again.

*

Xie Yanyu was still curled up outside the cave,

She gradually regained consciousness, and had no recollection of what had just happened in the cave. She only remembered that she had used a water-avoiding spell and was about to swim, but suddenly fainted. After that, there was a fragmented blank in her memory, and she could not remember it clearly. Then, she opened her eyes and found herself lying outside the cave. She had already left the cave.

The jade token of the Tianjian Sect was lying on the ground not far in front of her.

Xie Yanyu: ...?

Xie Yanyu's limbs were weak and he couldn't stand up for the time being. He could only continue to lie on the ground and slowly...

She knew she was in a poisonous fog, but strangely, the fog seemed to avoid her and she was not affected at all.

She didn't feel any discomfort either. Apart from a few minor scratches from the fall, she was almost unharmed.

It was much better than she expected.

She thought that if she went into the cave to get the jade token, she would at least be injured moderately, and would need to recuperate for ten days to half a month.

This situation was so strange that she even had the illusion of getting something for nothing, so she asked the system: Do you know what happened just now?

The system seemed stumped by the question, hesitating: "I don't know either. I wasn't paying attention to you for a while. Why did you suddenly collapse here?"

Xie Yanyu: ...

Xie Yanyu knew that he couldn't rely on the system, so he didn't ask any more questions.

She closed her eyes, ready to pick up the jade token and leave once she had regained some strength.

However, at this time,

She heard footsteps ahead.

Look up,

Then I found out that it was Helan Wei who came.

Xie Yanyu didn't expect him to be here, and just as he was about to say hello,

However, the next moment, he remembered that he was still in disguise, so he opened and closed his mouth, as if thinking about what to say.

But before she could say anything, Helan Wei spoke first.

He wasn't as gentle as usual, his expression was even a little cold, and he looked down at her condescendingly: "Are you awake?"

Xie Yanyu paused when he heard this.

From what he said, it seemed that he knew that she had been confused and dazed for a while.

Has he been here all along?

When Xie Yanyu entered the cave before, she did see him following her, but at that time she just thought that he would not wait for her outside for that long, and never thought that he would stay here all the time.

She was a little confused about the situation, so she remained quiet.

On that side,

Helan Wei saw that she had been silent, so he did not plan to speak again.

He walked straight up to her, leaned over, grabbed her wrist, and with one effort he pulled half of her body up.

His movements were actually a bit rough, and he seemed a bit impatient, but he still half-dragged, half-pulled her up. Not knowing whether the poisonous mist would avoid her, he cast another spell on her to try to prevent her from inhaling the poisonous mist. Then he put one hand through her lower back and lifted her up horizontally: "Leave when you wake up. Don't lie here."

The words were cold,

But this kind of coldness is not like Xie Chengjin's,

It wasn't the kind of indifferent and emotionless coldness, but the kind of coldness that made people clearly feel that he was unhappy.

Although it was difficult for Xie Yanyu to guess his thoughts, he was always very good at observing his words and expressions.

She could see that he was unhappy and didn't want to offend him, but when he hugged her and was about to leave, she saw the jade token on the ground next to him and had to grab his sleeve again: "Wait, I-"

Before he finished speaking,

I felt that Helan Wei stopped again.

As if his anger had calmed down, his tone returned to his usual casual tone, and he said slowly: "Why, you don't want to leave? What do you want to stay here for?"

Stay here and wait for that man?

Have you waited for it?

I'm afraid that he will be killed by the poisonous fog before he can reach that person.

He forced himself to hold back these words.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, his gaze cold, waiting to see how she would answer.

The arms holding her tightened.

It gives people the illusion that if her answer is not to their liking, they will strangle her to death.

However, Xie Yanyu's answer was very concise.

She pointed to the jade tablet on the ground and said, "I want to take it."

Helan Wei loosened his grip on his arms a little.

He quietly looked away, cast a spell, took the jade token from the air, and put it into her hand.

Then he didn't say anything and continued to carry her out.

Xie Yanyu quietly raised her eyes and saw his beautifully curved jawline, then looked up and saw his slightly pursed lips.

She couldn't help but find him strange.

He has been acting strangely recently, and it's not just one or two days.

But today is particularly strange.

I don't know what he's angry about.

It was rare for a man like him to get angry, and it was even rarer for him to come back and hug her and walk out when he was angry.

She was thinking,

A system prompt suddenly rang in my mind: [Helan Wei's plot progress increased by 5%. The current Helan Wei plot line progress is 10%. Please keep up the good work.]

Xie Yanyu paused.

She was still in disguise, and this time she came to Yuan's house, she was also planning to follow the plot point of disguise, but in the original plot, the plot point of disguise required her to be a servant to Helan Wei, serving him several times without being recognized by him. So far, she had only helped him pack his luggage once when she stole the token of Shangqing Fairy Palace.

She was a little confused about this progress and asked the system: "Five percent? That much?"

System: [Yes.]

The system explained: [The original plot had a second half. You had a bout of love poison, leaving you very weak. He cured you of it and took a treasure from the demon world, giving it to you. Although you only helped him pack his luggage once, this second half of the plot overlaps with the present. You are so weak now, and he took the jade token and then gave it to you. Since these key points match, the plot is considered complete.]

Xie Yanyu felt strange: The jade token he was holding?

System: [Didn’t he pick up the jade token just now?]

Xie Yanyu: ...What about in the cave?

The system is silent.

Xie Yanyu now feels that the system is a bit strange.

The system said it didn't know what happened in the cave, she always felt it was weird,

But now that this plot point was over, she didn't need to go to great lengths to conceal her identity, so after thinking about it, she called Helan Wei again: "Young Master."

Helan Wei said in a cold voice: "Speak."

Xie Yanyu asked gently, "Although the cave can only accommodate one person, I felt that there was someone else in there besides me. Was it you who helped me get the jade token in the cave just now?"

As soon as these words fell,

Helan Wei stopped and looked down at her.

I saw that she looked really confused, as if she had completely forgotten what happened just now——

Forgot what happened in the cave,

She also forgot the agreement she had made with the man in the cave and waited for the man to come find her.

I don't remember anything.

I thought we were so intimate, but after just a short while, I completely forgot about it.

Helan Wei looked at her for a long while, then suddenly looked away and sneered softly.

He still sounded unhappy, but the coldness in his brows seemed to have dissipated a little. He was just about to start talking to her.

But the next second,

But suddenly I felt a breath approaching.

This smell is very familiar,

Just like the aura she exudes,

The ghost of the male demon who was in the cave with her before is still lingering.

She had clearly forgotten.

But now he came back again.
