Chapter 68 What do you want this time? Kiss me
The Xie family has set up formations in both the inner and outer houses to expel evil spirits.
This monster has been very quiet these two days. Xie Yanyu thought that he was blocked outside by the Xie family's exorcism formation. Unexpectedly, he sent her a message again at this time.
She was stunned for a moment, but then she felt that there was nothing to be surprised about.
After all, this monster has a very high level of cultivation. If he wants to bypass the Xie family's exorcism formation, he can always find a way.
Although she didn't like being stared at by him all the time, he was indeed very useful. After weighing the pros and cons, his stare at her was not so unbearable. Now when she saw his message, she still didn't want to reply.
But she didn't reply,
The other side was persistent and kept sending her messages, asking her where she was going.
The tone between the lines was humble, pitiful, and sincere, not annoying, but like a snake or a vine, it had the feeling of tightly wrapping around her, as if he was afraid that she would pack her bags and run away from him.
Xie Yanyu looked at his tone and felt helpless.
She almost laughed. She didn't know what he was afraid of. If she could get rid of him, wouldn't she have done so long ago?
But what is the reality?
In fact, no matter where she went, he would follow her like a ghost.
Xie Yanyu was convinced he could get the recommendation letter, but he hadn't gotten it yet, so he didn't want to mention it to anyone else. But after seeing all these messages, he couldn't help but reply, "Why are you so nosy? You have to ask, is it important to you where I go? Can't you follow me wherever I go?"
Once these words were spoken,
There was silence for a moment.
I don’t know if it was because the words were sarcastic and a little impatient that hurt him.
Xie Yanyu waited for a while, but didn't get a reply from him, so she prepared to continue packing.
However, at this moment, a few words suddenly came back from the other side:
[Baby, why are you so nice? Does this mean I'm following you forever?]
I'm so happy.
[I will always follow you, no matter where you go, I will always follow you, baby...]
Xie Yanyu was so angry that he laughed.
What's going on in this monster's brain? Why does he get excited no matter what you say to him?
She simply threw the communication talisman away and ignored him.
Continue packing your luggage.
As she was rummaging around, she suddenly pulled out a jade token.
It was the jade token from the Tianjian Sect. Li Xun had been looking for it before. The last time she met him, she was so busy talking about engagement that she forgot to return the jade token to him.
Now that she has recognized him, this jade token is of no use to her. If she returns it to him, it may advance some plot points.

Xie Yanyu was thinking about finding a time to go to Li Xun and return the jade token to him.
On the other side, Li Xun went out first and came to find her——
Since he returned to the guest room yesterday, he has been pacing, pacing, pacing non-stop.
His subordinates were dizzy from watching him pace back and forth, and had no idea what he was worried about. Finally, they saw him pick up a pen to write a marriage certificate, but halfway through, they saw him tear up the certificate.
The marriage certificate was between him and that girl Qingqing, or rather, Xie Yanyu.
One of the men saw the marriage certificate and said boldly, "Master, so you and this Miss Xie are..."
Before I finished speaking,
Li Xun interrupted, "Why are you thanking me? My name is Qingqing, I have a name."
His subordinates didn't know why Li Xun was so obsessed with correcting her name. In fact, whether it was Miss Xie or Miss Qingqing, it was just a nickname. The person would always be the same person. But perhaps, in Li Xun's heart, Qingqing would always be Qingqing. No matter how many identities she changed, she would always be the Qingqing he knew.
But the men were only guessing.
Hearing him say this, they didn't refute him and continued, "So Miss Qingqing is your fiancée. No wonder you've been looking for her all these years. Now that you've found her, you're ready to fulfill your engagement with her. Why are you pacing back and forth so worriedly?"
It's clearly a very normal comforting word.
But Li Xun didn't know what explosives he had eaten today, he just kicked the man in the butt: "You know shit."
The subordinate was kicked so hard that he became as quiet as a chicken.
The others were about to say something, but now they were silent.
Li Xun wanted to say that Qingqing forced him to get engaged to her, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back with a gloomy face.
After a long while, he pursed his lips and said sinisterly, "She insisted on asking me to get engaged to her. I have to agree. Tsk, how annoying."
Subordinates: “…”
Li Xun is a notoriously perverse person who acts extravagantly and presumptuously. His heart is much harder than the sword of the Tianjian Sect. How could he agree to something if someone asks him for help but he doesn't want to?
But ever since Li Xun met Qingqing, he has become very strange.
His subordinates couldn't understand, but they didn't dare to question it, so they just looked at him quietly.
After a long while,
Li Xun went out again.
The men followed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Li Xun said, "Go find Qingqing."
The subordinate hesitated to speak.
Didn’t you agree that the other party is begging you to get married? If you find her annoying, why are you still going to find her at this time?
His men followed him, complaining in their hearts.
Li Xun seemed to have noticed.
He suddenly turned his head again and looked at his subordinate, whose face was handsome and sharp, like a knife.
His subordinates felt their scalps tingle under his gaze: "Master, you..."
A compass suddenly appeared in Li Xun's hand. It was a compass that could sense the direction of the jade token.
at the moment,
The compass needle was spinning, pointing in the direction of Xie Yanyu's yard. He raised his hand and broke the needle. He tapped his subordinate's neck with the sharp needle and gave him a cold, terrifying smile. "Stop talking about me in your heart, or I'll peel off your skin and feed it to the dogs. I'm going to ask her for the jade token. Do you understand?"
The subordinate's back was so weak with fear that he forced himself to stay together and nodded after a long while.
Recently, after Li Xun met Qingqing, he showed some strange behaviors, which made them subconsciously ignore the horror and gloom of this man. However, this man is still a capricious and unpredictable mad dog in essence. His mood is changeable, and he can suddenly turn against others and take their lives while talking and joking.
That strange little abnormality, whether it was tough talk, weakness, or something else, even if it existed, only appeared when he faced Qingqing.
Never to other people.

When Li Xun found Xie Yanyu, she was in the side hall.
There was a strong smell of medicine in this side hall. There was a medicine furnace inside, which she must have used as an apothecary.
There were many scorpions raised next to the medicine furnace. She squatted on the ground, took out the refined medicine from the furnace, and fed it to the scorpions, as if she was testing the medicine on the scorpions. She lowered her head, and even though her eyes were blindfolded, one could feel that she was very focused. She was judging the medicinal properties of the refined medicine based on the reactions of the scorpions.
Li Xun looked at her.
For some reason, I recalled an afternoon many years ago.
A nest of scorpions entered the dilapidated house, and Qingqing was scared to death. She was not afraid of insects, snakes, rats and ants, but scorpions were poisonous, and she was afraid of death.
He was still recovering from his injuries, so she kicked him out of bed and asked him to help her kill the nest of scorpions. However, he needed some elixirs to heal his injuries at that time. There were no spiritual medicines commonly used by monks in the mortal town, only inferior herbs. Even if he refined the medicine, he needed something to test the medicinal properties.
So he kept the nest of scorpions and asked her to buy and refine medicine for him.
After she had prepared the medicine, he used the scorpions to test its properties. She watched from the side, only half understanding what he was doing. She seemed to want to learn something from him, but she was too hesitant to catch the scorpions and was hesitant to prepare the medicine.
Now I am so skilled.
Li Xun looked at her.
After such a long time since they separated, she was still the same in his memory, but it turned out that time did not stand still. She had learned a lot and her appearance had changed a lot, but for some reason, the sense of familiarity was even stronger, as if all the good and bad memories of the past were densely woven into the blankness of these years like silk threads.
He had a strange and unfamiliar feeling.
His heart was still beating fast, but because she was wearing the engagement jade pendant, he didn't feel any particular discomfort other than the rapid heartbeat. He could even feel that strange feeling blending between his heartbeats.
He noticed it, and then felt like he was being burned by the feeling. So he suppressed all these feelings, walked up to her, and gently kicked her with his toes. It was called a kick, but the force was almost the same as a rub. He said sarcastically: "You heard me coming, why didn't you say hello? How rude."
Xie Yanyu really didn't bother to pay attention to him.
She was going to Shangqing Immortal Palace. In addition to preparing her luggage, she also needed to refine some elixirs to take with her. These included elixirs for detoxification, healing, temporarily improving her cultivation, and even medicines for self-protection and poisoning others. She had to refine all of them, and the workload was quite heavy.
At this time,
She raised her elbow and pushed Li Xun's toes away, still staring at her scorpions.
Then he said to him, "What do you want from me? If you have something to say, just tell me. I'm listening."
Li Xun laughed in anger when he saw her like this.
He squatted down, took a pill from her palm, swallowed it, and then raised his hand to pry her face open: "Look, look, just look at these lousy scorpions of yours. Can they get engaged to you? You keep watching? Okay, look at me, see if this crappy medicine you made has poisoned me to death."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu was indeed making poison.
But after feeding the scorpion, it was still alive and kicking. She herself would not take these pills to test the medicine, so without a reference, she held the scorpion and looked at it again, wondering if it was the delayed effect of the medicine that caused the scorpion to survive. Now seeing Li Xun swallow the pill and he was intact and didn't look like he was dying at all, she could finally be sure that the medicine had not been successfully refined.
She knocked his hand away: "Are you sick?"
Li Xun pissed her off and got scolded, which made him feel good.
He stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and held out his hand to her: "Where's my jade token? Give it back to me."
Xie Yanyu was originally planning to return the jade token to him.
Hearing him say this, she thought for a moment, threw away the wasteful medicinal pills in her hand, wiped her hands, took out the jade token from her sleeve pocket, and waved it in front of him: "Here it is."
Li Xun reached out to grab it.
But the next second, Xie Yanyu put his hands behind his back, leaving him with nothing to grab.
Even teasing a dog is not this funny.
Li Xun's expression darkened quickly: "Give it back to me. Don't think I dare not do anything to you."
Xie Yanyu was fearless.
She knew that he couldn't do anything to her.
So she put her hands behind her back, stroking the jade token, and found a seat and sat down: "I can return it to you. It's useless to me anyway."
Although giving him the jade token can advance the plot,
But she and Li Xun actually have a lot of plot points,
After all, in the original plot, Li Xun made an engagement with her, perhaps to take revenge on her and let her experience more deeply the pain of being flattered and then thrown to the ground. After the engagement, until the cancellation of the engagement, he treated her very well most of the time and was very close to her, except for the many quarrels over Helan Wei's affairs.
Look at Li Xun now.
His face was gloomy, and he didn't look like he would take the initiative to be nice to her. Even the engagement was possible only because she forced him to do so, and he still wanted to use Qiao's tricks. Now the plot was not going well, but she could force him to get engaged to her, and she could also force him to be nice to her.
Xie Yanyu thought for a moment before continuing, "But you have to do something. Well, doing something in exchange for this jade token is fair, right?"
Li Xun sneered: "Fairness is bullshit."
But his anger was inexplicably extinguished, and at this moment he was mostly excited, even though he himself didn't know what he was excited about.
But she is just like that, full of calculations and unscrupulous. It is normal for her to put forward conditions at this time.
So he approached her and kicked her stool again: "Tell me, what do you want this time?"
He thought as he looked at her, wondering what terms she could offer.
He had already agreed to the engagement, so what else did she need? A rare magical instrument, a spiritual treasure, or something else?
But the next second,
Then she pointed to her lips.
Then the pale lips moved slightly.
Li Xun heard her say——
"Kiss me."
