Chapter 64: It's Nice to Be Scolded by Her

Li Xun has never suffered any loss at the hands of others in his life.

Even after his family was destroyed and he was being chased and killed by a group of demons, even if he was beaten badly, he could still fight back and kill them on the spot.

The few times I suffered losses, they were all caused by Qingqing.

The way he and she get along is very twisted and weird.

After she agreed to take him in, she brought him back to her then-residence, which was an abandoned, haunted house with even the gate that was crumbling.

Li Xun could tell that her family was poor, but he didn't expect that she was an orphan, homeless and wandering around.

He was a little worried about whether he could recover from his injury with her.

Fortunately, she really believed what he said and thought that he was the eldest son of a cultivation family and would keep his promise to marry her and let her live a good life, so she took good care of him.

But that was her nature. After years of struggling, she had become sharp and calculating. Even though she took care of him, she stepped on his bottom line, threatened him, and oppressed him. She wanted to squeeze his value to the extreme, asking him to give her money, to help her fight off those who bullied her, and to protect her, otherwise she would throw him out to fend for himself.

Although Li Xun was extremely reluctant,

But he really needed to recuperate and needed her care. In order to live a few days in peace, he had to meet her demands. After all, the people in the town were all mortals. Even if he was injured, he could still beat those people down with just a lift of his fingers. But if someone snatched things from her, or bullied her, or hurt her, he would eventually be affected.

So during that period, Qingqing was basically both good and bad to him, caring and threatening him.

Li Xun was both annoyed with her and needed her. He hated her so much, but he had to protect her. Over time, protecting her became almost an instinct. Whenever he saw her with a gloomy face or wounds on her body, he would think that someone was bullying her or stealing her things, and he would instinctively help her beat up the person and get her things back.

So many years have passed since then.

But seeing her like this, he still instinctively asked.

Are you having a bad life? Are you being bullied?

After Li Xun asked this question, he choked.

Is it cheap or not? I have to ask this question.

On this side, Xie Yanyu was also stunned when he heard this.

I didn't expect that after so many years, when he almost hated her to death, he could still utter such words.

She sneered and said, "What? Are you trying to help me vent my anger?"

"Are you dreaming? Am I a jerk? I'm helping you vent your anger." Li Xun laughed at this and said sinisterly, "I do want to hear about how miserable you've been these past few years. Anyway, I can't kill you right now, so can't I just listen to this and vent my anger?"

Xie Yanyu was very flattering: "Then you really hate me."

"That's right, just hearing that makes me happy," Li Xun said sarcastically. He changed his finger and pressed her eyelids little by little, feeling the curvature of her eyeballs through the thin eyelids. "Okay, tell me, how did you become blind? Who did it? Are you okay?"

When Xie Yanyu heard this, he tilted his head.

She didn't answer him. Even with her eyes closed, Li Xun could feel that she was "looking" at him. She probably had some magical weapon on her body that could help her "see" the surrounding environment even when her eyes couldn't see.

She seemed very confused, wondering why he asked so many questions.

Li Xun felt uncomfortable being "looked at" by her, so he tied the silk back on her eyes.

The knot was tied crookedly, looking like it had been gnawed by a dog, and his tone was still sinister: "You don't know, I hate you to death. I've been in the Heavenly Sword Sect for so long, and I've developed dozens of tortures that I want to use on you in turn. Killing you all at once is boring, so I have to torture you to death to be happy. One of these tortures is to slowly blind your eyes."

Xie Yanyu: "Oh."

Li Xun: "But you're blind now, and I'm very unhappy. So, can your eyes ever get better? Just tell me what I'm asking."

Xie Yanyu: "Yes."

Li Xun felt relieved when he heard this, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart disappeared.

He asked again, "How did you become blind?"

Xie Yanyu really couldn't stand it: "You really talk too much."

Li Xun: “…”

Xie Yanyu urged him, "Become engaged to me. Since you're here these two days, you can directly ask the Xie family for marriage. The Tianjian Sect shouldn't have those dirty affairs between aristocratic families, right? They wouldn't have to go through layers of review by the elders of the family before getting engaged. Your proposal would be equivalent to an alliance between the Tianjian Sect and the Xie family, and the Xie family would definitely agree."

Li Xun laughed in anger: "You take it for granted and arrange it for me right away. Do you agree to it?"

Xie Yanyu took out the jade pendant: "Really? You don't agree?"

Li Xun was filled with rage. Now he was annoyed just looking at the jade pendant. He wanted to try and snatch it away.

He really hated the feeling of being controlled by others.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, his fingertips just brushed against it, and the next second, he suddenly felt a headache.

His vision went dark and he collapsed to the ground again, exhausted.

But at this moment, some images inexplicably appeared in his mind.

In the picture, he seemed to be at a banquet, and the background of the hall looked like the Shangqing Palace.

For some reason, Qingqing was also in this picture. She seemed to be wearing the clothes of a menial disciple, with her head lowered and her face submissive, looking like she was easy to bully. Even though it was just a short picture that inexplicably appeared in his mind without any cause or consequence, Li Xun felt very uncomfortable when he saw her cautious look.

Then,

The picture changed again.

He himself appeared in the picture, raised his finger and pointed at Qingqing, and asked her directly: "Do you want to get engaged to me?"

But the picture stops here.

Li Xun felt that every nerve in his head was aching. He held his head and felt better after a while, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Yanyu's face again.

He was not actually that opposed to the idea of getting engaged to her. He just didn't want her to be happy. But even if he was not opposed to it, how could he have hallucinations? This hallucination even showed that he was the one who took the initiative to ask her for engagement. It was weird.

Li Xun's head was about to explode.

He looked at her face and simply covered his face with his hands, not looking at her.

He doesn't care much about his manners.

He had just fallen to the ground, and now he was lying face up with his legs bent, lazily on the ground.

Otherwise why do we say he is crazy? It is really hard to guess what a crazy person is thinking.

In the last second, he had a gloomy face, as if he was so angry that he wanted to snatch the jade pendant from her and resist, but now he looked half-dead and refused to communicate.

Seeing him like this, Xie Yanyu really wanted to kick him twice.

She really kicked him, and lightly kicked his leg with her toes: "Make a deal with me--"

Before he finished speaking,

Li Xun suddenly interrupted her: "Stop reading."

He suddenly moved his hand away, staring at her for a long time, then suddenly forced a smile, stretched out his hand, grabbed her ankle and pulled it.

Xie Yanyu was caught off guard and pulled, and fell backwards.

As a result, he pulled her skirt again and pulled her forward. The next second, Xie Yanyu fell directly on him. She instinctively injected spiritual power into the jade pendant. The next second, blood flowed out from the corner of Li Xun's mouth. He had no strength left, but one hand was still stubbornly pressing on her waist to prevent her from getting up.

Xie Yanyu could feel his rapid heartbeat and the rise and fall of his chest through the fabric of his clothes.

She raised her chin and saw Li Xun still staring at her.

He knew the jade pendant had lost its effect, and if he looked at her any longer he would explode and die, but he still stared at her without blinking: "Are you so scared of me? I'm going to make the jade pendant ineffective by pulling you? I'm not going to fight you, I can't win, I pulled you down just to have a word with you."

Xie Yanyu didn't expect him to go crazy suddenly.

She was furious: "You are sick, aren't you? Crazy——"

Not finished scolding,

As a result, this person seemed to suddenly become afraid of death. He raised his hand to cover her mouth again and stopped listening to her voice.

Only after she scolded him did Li Xun feel a little relieved.

After all, how could he be the only one in such a mess? He couldn't refuse her, nor could he touch her. He could always make her angry, but he couldn't always let her have her way. Even clay has a temper, not to mention he wasn't clay. He would take revenge. If a dog bared its teeth at him on the street, he would bark back and kick the dog twice.

Now that he felt comfortable, he lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Well, I'm sick, I'm crazy."

He gave a sinister smile, his lips wet with blood.

The whole person looks beautiful and scary: "Don't regret it if you insist on getting engaged to a madman."

*

Li Xun made Xie Yanyu angry, said a few harsh words to her, and felt good.

But if you think about it carefully, she wanted to get engaged to him, and he agreed, so her goal was achieved, and he still followed her wishes and was oppressed by her, so he was unhappy again.

So he started taking Joe again.

Although he agreed to get engaged to her, he required her to have an identity.

According to the rules of the Tianjian Sect, the Taoist companions of all the previous sect masters cannot just be from aristocratic families, but must also come from major sects of cultivation, such as disciples of a certain sect, or elders of a certain sect, but they cannot be members of the Tianjian Sect itself.

The Tianjian Sect does have this rule.

But Li Xun never followed the rules. During this period, he had almost thrown all the rules of the Tianjian Sect under his feet.

Even though it is difficult for the sect leader to choose a Taoist partner and go against the sect rules, if Li Xun wants to, nothing can be difficult for him.

When he brought up this matter at this time, Xie Yanyu knew that he was making things difficult for her.

She originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that in the original plot, she followed Helan Wei into the Shangqing Immortal Palace and became a menial disciple.

Now she has to follow the plot, and there are indeed some plots that require her to complete them as a disciple of Shangqing Immortal Palace.

However, she has now reached the Golden Core stage, so when she goes to Shangqing Immortal Palace, she should no longer have to be a menial disciple.

Now that Li Xun brought up this matter, she could take a step back. Anyway, she had originally planned to go to Shangqing Immortal Palace, which was considered the number one immortal sect in the world and just happened to meet the conditions proposed by Li Xun.

After all, the engagement required him to propose in person, hold an engagement ceremony with her, and have her name written into the Tianjian Sect's roster. There were many things he had to do, and it was not appropriate to push him forward solely by relying on death threats.

Xie Yanyu thought about it for a while and agreed to Li Xun's request.

But at this moment, the system suddenly asked again -

[Shangqing Immortal Palace recruits disciples every five years. There are still one or two years until the next open selection.]

[How do you plan to enter Shangqing Immortal Palace?]
