Chapter 57: What can I use to compete with him?

Helan Wei's eyes were red with anger.

He never thought that she would speak to him like this, with obvious disgust and impatience, and a somewhat cold expression on her face. Even when she didn't want him in her previous life, she had never treated him like this.

But before that, she had clearly said so many times that she loved him.

He couldn't trust her, so he kept finding fault with her, looking for evidence of her being distant from him in every subtle action of hers. He didn't know what he was trying to prove, but now, he found evidence, evidence that she didn't love him.

Helan Wei knew he should go up to her, grab her neck, and tell her that the game was over. He had found evidence that she was lying, and now he was going to cut off her tongue, drain her blood, and lock her up like a puppet so that she could never lie again.

But he found that he didn't want to do that.

At least at this moment, he wanted to question her, is this what she meant by love? After she denied it, he wanted to ask her to prove to him immediately that she loved him, just like every time before.

But he suddenly had another thought, thinking that she would not go along with him this time, because she had more urgent things to do. If he really went up and went crazy, she would take that damn servant away first and leave him there, making him look ridiculous and embarrassed, with no face at all.

He stared at her.

After a long while, he flicked his sleeves and left without saying a word.

*

I didn't expect Helan Wei to leave like this.

Looking at his expression, Xie Yanyu felt that he was on the verge of going crazy. In the past, he would have come up and strangled her.

She seemed lost in thought.

But soon, she said again: "Let's go and find the jade pendant."

As she spoke, she did not even look back at the attendant and prepared to move forward.

But the next second,

Before she could move, the attendant grabbed her wrist.

Xie Yanyu: "What's wrong?"

She felt that he would not do anything too inappropriate. Even if he had touched her before, he would have quickly withdrawn his hand. So she did not rush to pull her hand away. She asked him questions while waiting for him to withdraw his hand.

However, this time,

Not only did he not take his hand back, he even intensified it, and his fingertips gently followed her pulse.

His temperament was clearly gentle, like spring water or jade, but why was the temperature of his palms always so high and dry, as if it could burn into her soul in an instant?

Xie Yanyu felt a tingling sensation on her back and immediately tried to pull her hand away, but at that moment she felt him inserting his fingertips between her fingers.

Then he opened her fingers little by little without any rejection.

He wrote on her palm: "Don't be afraid of me."

Xie Yanyu paused.

Then,

Shen Lang smiled softly, then moved closer to her and pointed at his mouth.

His lips are very beautiful. We were close to each other originally, but now when we look closely at his movements, we instinctively feel that his lips are very soft, and we want to touch them to see if they are as soft as we imagined.

Xie Yanyu didn't know why he thought of these things, and wanted to suppress these strange thoughts.

But they didn't let her go.

He loosened his hand and stopped writing on her palm. Instead, he lip-synched and said silently, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, Miss."

He might as well have been writing on her palm.

Because he was lip-reading, she had to stare closely at his beautiful lips. She even felt that he was deliberately guiding her to look at his lips, but his expression was too calm. Besides, who would have strange thoughts when looking at a normal person's lips?

She has her own weird thoughts, how can she blame others?

Xie Yanyu was a little annoyed and pinched his palms. Seeing him continue to speak silently, he said, "But Master Helan just used a silence spell on me. I can't make a sound now, and -"

Xie Yanyu couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Shut up."

She lowered her head and held out her hand to him: "Writing, there are too many words, it makes me... a little dizzy."

Shen Lang smiled silently when he heard this.

He stared at her with his amber eyes, then reached out and wrote on her palm bit by bit: "Although I also know the tracking technique, I can't use it if I don't break this spell. Miss, can you help me?"

Xie Yanyu asked, "Can't you solve it yourself?"

As a demon lord, Chen Lang's actual cultivation level is slightly higher than Helan Wei's. How could he really not be able to break a silence spell?

But he lowered his eyes slightly in disappointment.

She could have just shaken her head, but he slowly wrote on her palm: "Can't be solved."

Xie Yanyu's palms felt itchy because of him.

If she didn't need him to use the tracking technique, she really wanted him to remain silent: "How can I help you?"

As soon as these words fell,

The man suddenly bent down.

He clasped her hand, interlocked his fingers with hers, and pulled her hand higher, guiding her fingertips to touch his lips. He seemed to be unintentionally leading her to press down, letting her finger touch his lower lip, and then mouthed: "Just use your spiritual power to touch here a few times."

Clear touch at your fingertips.

His lips were indeed as soft as they looked.

My hand was wrapped in his palm, feeling a little warm.

As his lips opened and closed, his warm breath fell on her fingertips.

Maybe it was because of these reasons, but her whole hand was hot, and her whole body seemed to be a little hot. She even lost her mind for a while before she reacted and quickly used her spiritual power to tap his lips a few times.

The next second,

He broke the silencing spell.

He loosened his grip and stopped holding her hand to press her fingers to her lips. However, he did not stand up as he had done before. Seeing that her fingertips were still touching his lips, he continued to lean forward.

He was clearly much taller than her, and if he lowered himself, he could cover her body, but he always gave people the illusion of being docile and submissive.

He asked in a low voice: "Miss, why are you still pressing your subordinate's lips?"

As soon as these words fell,

Xie Yanyu paused for a moment before withdrawing his hand.

She said calmly, "...Since you can speak now, why are you still lowering your head?"

Chen Lang looked at her, still very calm, not at a loss when asked in return, his amber eyes were very gentle.

He gently pressed the spot between his lips where she had touched him.

His pale lower lip had been pressed until it turned a little red. He said, "I thought the young lady liked it. I am a servant in the Xie Mansion, and it is my duty to serve the young lady. If the young lady likes it, you can naturally treat me however you want. It's just a matter of pressing her lips. The young lady extended her hand, so shouldn't I lower my head and let her press it?"

Xie Yanyu was speechless for a moment.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

This is the way the world is. As a slave, you have to treat your master as the sky. Even if the master wants to slap the servant, the servant should take the initiative to offer his face. As a servant, it seems that there is nothing wrong with him doing this.

but- -

Xie Yanyu still lowered his head and did not comment.

Chen Lang asked gently again, "Did I misunderstand you? The young lady doesn't like you?"

When Xie Yanyu was asked this question,

After a while, she simply pinched her fingertips and skipped the topic: "Let's go and find the jade pendant."

*

The other side.

Helan Wei stood in front of a maze.

The seal of the demon world has loosened, so it is not too difficult to repair it.

However, it is very tricky -

The core of the formation that seals the demon world has cracked.

This formation is very special. When the formation is intact, it can form a barrier at the entrance to the demon world and intercept the demon power of the demon world. If the formation eye is missing, in order to continue to maintain the balance of the barrier and resist the demon power, the formation will actively absorb everything entering the formation, gather the spiritual power in these objects together, and form a ball of spiritual power.

If a person walks in, no matter how high their cultivation level is, they will be sucked in by the formation and their spiritual energy will be drained away.

In this way, if you want to repair the formation, you must solve this problem first.

The solution is not too difficult.

Xie Chengjin is responsible for completing all the mazes outside.

Helan Wei was responsible for using a technique from the tracking technique to gather all the spiritual power at the bottom of the river, and lead these spiritual powers to the sealing formation in the demon world through the maze. After the eye of the formation absorbed these spiritual powers, there was no need to absorb the things into the formation temporarily, so he would take this opportunity to repair the eye of the formation.

At this time,

Helan Wei had already drawn out all the spiritual power, and watched the spiritual power flow through the various mazes and flow towards the seal formation of the demon world.

However, the more free time he had, the more he thought of Xie Yanyu.

He thought that out of sight, out of mind, and that he should just leave her, but who knew that the longer he couldn't see her, the more anxious he became. She didn't want his help, but insisted on asking a second-rate guard to help her. Did she really think that guard could help her?

As if to prove something,

He clearly didn't know what the jade pendant she was looking for looked like, but he still spent some time using magic to anchor the approximate location of the jade pendant. Then he anchored her position, but found that she and the jade pendant were in the same position, both in front of the great formation that sealed the demon world -

The guard really helped her find the thing.

Helan Wei paused.

He lowered his eyes for a while, and then his whole body tensed up. The feeling of uneasiness that had been plaguing him recently came back to haunt him.

He imagined that it would be like before. If she didn't stick to him and beg him, he would walk away with a condescending attitude. But there were others who could give her what she needed. Today, this lowly guard could help her find the jade pendant. Would there be someone else to help her do something else tomorrow?

He held the communication talisman in his hand.

After a long while, he carefully sent her a message: [Have you found the jade pendant?]

*

Xie Yanyu found the engagement jade pendant.

Found it, but couldn't get it.

Because it is inside the demon world's sealing formation.

Xie Yanyu knew that the eye of the formation had cracked. At this time, people who walked into the formation would be sucked in.

She was thinking about how to get the things out when she received a message from Helan Wei.

So she replied: [Found it.]

She responded quickly to messages, as soon as she saw them.

Helan Wei saw that she had replied, and the strength with which he was gripping the communication talisman finally loosened. It was as if something had filled the emptiness in his heart, making him feel more at ease. However, like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot, it evaporated in an instant, bringing more emptiness and making him uncontrollably crave for more.

He couldn't even help but recall the details of their past interactions, trying to dig out a bit of comfort from his memory.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, she may not dislike him.

Since the guard was useful, she may have spoken up for him before just because she needed him, not because she wanted to drive him away intentionally.

If she didn't like him, why did she kiss him, give him sachets, and tell him that she loved him so many times?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Helan Wei realized belatedly that he was a little twisted. He didn't understand why he was like this, looking for signs of her lying when she expressed her love for him, and looking for evidence of her love for him at this time.

He felt a sense of resentment, suppressed his thoughts, asked with a cold face, knowing the answer but still asking, and sent her another message: [Where is it?]

[In the demon world's seal formation.]

【Can you take it out? 】

【cannot. 】

[Once the array's core is complete, you can take it out. It's such a simple thing, can't your guard help you? ]

【I can’t help you.】

Helan Wei looked at the surging spiritual power, and after a while he edited a message: I can help you.

But soon, he deleted it word by word.

He finally replied: [Okay, I'll come over later.] So you can ask me for help.

He has condescended enough,

In his past life, he had never given anyone a way out like this.

As long as she spoke to him nicely, he could pretend that the unpleasantness just now had never happened.

*

This side,

Xie Yanyu received his message.

She was about to reply.

Chen Lang, who was standing nearby, murmured, "Young Master Helan's tone doesn't seem very good."

Xie Yanyu said calmly, "He should be angry. I feel like he's waiting for me to ask him for help."

"How come?"

Shen Lang feigned surprise, then said gently, "It was I who was in his way today. How could he be so indiscriminate and angry with you? Young Master Helan is of noble birth and a gentle and polite person. The servants of the Xie Mansion all say that he is easy to get along with. A man like him would not be so inconsiderate of your feelings, young lady."

Xie Yanyu looked into his eyes, hesitant to speak.

She wanted to say that those humbleness and politeness were just superficial. In reality, how could the arrogant children from noble families treat others as human beings?

But after a while, she just said: "Forget it, you don't understand."

Shen Lang stopped and did not continue to ask.

He lowered his eyelashes, his tone extremely sincere: "Miss, don't worry. It was me who upset him. It's all my fault. When he comes over, I'll apologize to him. Even if it means kneeling or carrying a thorn tree to apologize, I'll ask him to help you get the jade pendant."

As Chen Lang spoke, his beautiful lips curved slightly.

This bitch is playing hard to get.

If you still act so arrogantly at this time, what can you use to compete with him?
