Chapter 70 Teeth Biting the Neck

The letter of recommendation is placed with Xie Chengjin, who will keep it for me.

Therefore, if anyone wants to try to get the recommendation letter, they have to go to Xie Chengjin.

Xie Yanyu spent several days learning how to draw the Mingxin Talisman, and then went to find Xie Chengjin.

But as soon as he arrived at the gate of his courtyard, he was stopped by his servants.

The attendants said, "The remaining poison in the young master's body has taken a toll on him. He has been bedridden for the past two days and has not been seen."

After these words fell,

Xie Yanyu paused.

She calculated the days and realized that the remaining poison in Xie Chengjin's body was indeed about to take effect.

She was able to enter the Xie family because the remaining poison in Xie Chengjin's body could not be cleared out, and it would backfire every half a month or so, requiring her blood to alleviate the pain. Therefore, she needed to cut her wrists every half a month or so to supply him with blood. With her blood, Xie Chengjin would recover in about a day, but without her blood, if he had to endure it, it would take him three to five days to recover, and the pain would be extremely painful, even to the point of becoming mentally ill.

But if it were in the past, as soon as the remaining poison in Xie Chengjin took effect, someone would come to notify her and ask for her blood.

This time it was strange.

So she asked the attendant, "How long has the backlash been going on?"

The attendant replied, "Two or three days."

Two or three days had passed, but no one had come to see her, so she had no idea that the remaining poison had taken its toll on her.

Xie Yanyu was puzzled by this: "Brother, have you just been enduring this these days?"

The attendant said, "Yes."

A few days ago, Xie Chengjin instructed them not to go to Xie Yanyu to draw blood. If other masters of the Xie family went to Xie Yanyu to draw blood, they would also be stopped, but he did not explain the reason for doing so.

At first, the servants thought he had found some other way to help him get through this period of poisoning.

However, no one expected that

He did not find any other way, nor did he take Xie Yanyu's blood. This time, when the backlash came, he simply locked himself up and prepared to endure it.

The attendants were also very confused about this.

But they never talked much and would not ask too many questions about Xie Chengjin. Now facing Xie Yanyu, they were not prepared to say anything more. They only added: "So the young master has been in a very bad state these days. He is almost unconscious and unable to see anyone. Miss, please go back."

Xie Yanyu didn't know what Xie Chengjin was thinking.

But this is actually a good thing, because she doesn't want to bleed him, so she doesn't plan to explore the matter any further.

But she really needed the letter of recommendation, so she asked the attendant again, "I just want to get the letter of recommendation from Shangqing Immortal Palace. I don't need to talk to my brother, and I won't disturb him. Can you please let me in?"

Several servants hesitated after hearing this.

Xie Yanyu added: "Very soon."

Xie Chengjin had ordered that no one should be seen. Logically, the servants should not let anyone into the yard.

But the servants had some master-servant relationship with Xie Chengjin.

Seeing him enduring it in there, the servants really hoped that he could feel better.

Therefore, looking at Xie Yanyu, they were also a little hesitant.

On the one hand, Xie Chengjin had ordered not to let anyone in, but on the other hand, he felt that if Xie Yanyu was let in, and Xie Chengjin was awake and saw her, he might change his mind and take her blood.

*

Xie Yanyu stood outside the yard for a while.

I don’t know what the servants were hesitating about, but after a moment of silence, they let her in.

Things like recommendation books should be placed in the study.

So after entering the yard, Xie Yanyu went straight to the study. As expected, she found the recommendation letter on the table at the door of the study.

Because she knew how to draw the Mingxin Talisman, she easily got the recommendation letter.

After getting her things, she prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, she heard a noise outside the study door.

Open the door,

Then I saw Xie Chengjin appear at the door.

He seemed to have just come over, and at this moment, he was about to push the door open.

Because of the backlash, he looked a little sick and not as meticulous as usual. At this time, he was only wearing a long robe, which was empty, revealing some beautiful texture lines, like cold and hard ice that had melted a little. He looked lazy, fragile, and not dignified enough, but had a different kind of beauty.

Xie Yanyu almost bumped into him.

She stopped in her tracks, a little surprised: "...Brother?"

*

Xie Chengjin hasn't seen Xie Yanyu for a while.

He deliberately avoided her, and she didn't get close to him. Their daily movements did not overlap, so they never met again after returning to the Xie family from the seal in the demon world.

I don’t see you, but I still think of you.

At first I just thought of her face, then I wondered what she was doing.

He knew it was not normal, but the more he resisted, the more he thought of her.

Later, when he picked up the pen to write, he would think of the mole on her collarbone; when he handled the files, he would think of the beautiful dreams related to her; even when the residual poison took its toll a few days ago, he thought of her, but what he thought of was her left arm that was always wrapped in gauze.

This was the second time he tried to imagine what was underneath the gauze.

They should be hideous scars, crawling on her skin like centipedes. Some of them are like the knife marks on his palms, even longer and deeper, more difficult to heal, leaving more obvious marks on her skin, representing pain.

Somehow, he seemed to have found a reason.

So he attributed all his abnormalities to her blood—

He had been absorbing her blood for many years. At first, he could always notice her in the crowd, then he always dreamed of her, and later he could occasionally empathize with her. Her blood had such a great influence on him, so he always thought of her. It must be because he had absorbed too much of her blood.

Perhaps if I stop taking her blood, these abnormalities will gradually disappear.

So he didn't let his servants take her blood again.

But the faint connection between him and her didn't seem to disappear.

Just now, he was tortured by the residual poison and was in a state of confusion, but he always felt that she seemed to be nearby. He was really in a state of confusion. He inexplicably put on a long robe and went looking for her, searching room by room.

Find the study.

She pushed the door open and he saw her.

"Is your eye better?"

"alright."

Xie Chengjin nodded.

He looked down again and saw the letter of recommendation in her hand.

He paused and said, "Are you going to Shangqing Immortal Palace?"

"Yes, I came to get the recommendation letter. Since you didn't see me, I didn't greet you. I was planning to use the communication talisman to send you a message to inform you of this matter later."

Xie Chengjin didn't say anything.

Xie Yanyu bowed and said, "Brother is not feeling well, I won't bother you any longer."

After she finished speaking, she walked around him and went out.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he heard the sound of Xie Chengjin catching up.

Before she could turn around, she felt a sudden heat on her back.

Xie Chengjin hugged her from behind.

He seemed to have a fever, so his body temperature was very high, and even through the thin clothes, the temperature of his chest almost burned her.

Xie Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in astonishment. She rarely got so surprised and lost her composure, but his behavior at the moment was so abnormal that her mind went blank for a moment. She had no idea what he was doing or what he was going to do, and could only mechanically turn her head and look at him.

Xie Chengjin hugged her very tightly and with great strength, almost holding her.

He lowered his head and buried it in her shoulder.

Xie Yanyu was silent for a long while before he said, "...Brother, are you not quite sober?"

Xie Chengjin's arm stiffened.

He seemed to be brought back to his senses by her voice, and he became more sober and prepared to let her go.

But after his arms relaxed a little, they quickly tightened again, even tighter than before, and he responded solemnly, "Yeah."

He is not quite sober.

He was being attacked, he had a fever, he was sick, his thoughts were muddled and sluggish, he was truly not in a clear mind: "You are not allowed to leave."

His voice was a little hoarse, and even his breath was hot.

Xie Yanyu: "..."

Xie Yanyu felt the temperature of his body and breath, and indeed realized that he was not conscious.

If it gets any hotter, his brain will be fried.

"Brother, please let go of my hand. I won't leave. Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"What I mean is, you are not allowed to go to Shangqing Immortal Palace."

Xie Yanyu was getting a little impatient and started twisting his arms: "Why can't I go?"

Can't be opened.

The more he bent, the harder Xie Chengjin tried.

He asked, “Why do you want to go?”

When he was not fully awake, he was not as indifferent as usual, nor was he as frugal with words as usual. Instead, he was inexplicably stubborn. He would ask a question back for every one she asked. If she did not respond to his question, he would subconsciously want to say more. He found that he wanted to keep her, to keep her by his side, but he did not understand why he had such an idea?

"Is it because of your special physique that just holding you can alleviate my backlash?" He seemed to be trying to answer his own confusion, burying his head in her neck and pressing his lips to her thin skin. "If you stay here, I can give you cultivation resources, money, or status. It's much more than you can get by going to Shangqing Immortal Palace. Why do you want to go?"

When Xie Yanyu returned to the Xie family this time, his treatment was indeed much better than before.

Whether it was food, clothing, or resources for cultivation, they were already several levels better than the other younger generations of the Xie family. The servants no longer gave her the cold shoulder as before. She didn't know what they were thinking, but on the surface they were respectful. She could feel these changes, which must have been a special order from Xie Chengjin.

At this time, when he said these words, she felt that there was some truth in them.

But his words were confusing. She took a moment to understand and piece together the logic behind his words: "Brother wants me to stay because of my blood?"

She actually wasn't going to bleed him anymore.

Anyway, there are many ways to proceed with the plot now. When her cultivation level improves, suppressing Xie Chengjin and cutting his wrist for her to bleed can be considered the completion of the plot. But at this time, in order to make him let go, she is still fooling him: "I will go to Shangqing Immortal Palace and provide blood for brother on time. You can send someone to deliver my blood once every two weeks, or I can come back once every two weeks, both are fine."

After she said this, Xie Chengjin fell silent again.

He lowered his eyes, his pupils were very dark, and he could only see part of her neck in his sight.

The skin on her neck was thin and pale, giving the illusion of being almost transparent. One could see the blue blood vessels beneath her skin, and her pulse was beating slowly, perhaps with blood flowing slowly underneath.

The breath on my neck became hotter.

Xie Yanyu was burned by the heat and felt his back tingling.

She couldn't stand this weird atmosphere any longer, so she said, "If you're really feeling too uncomfortable, just let me go. I can bleed you."

No matter what,

It’s better to let him let go first. Once he lets go, if she doesn’t want to bleed, she can just knock him out.

As she spoke, she thought,

However, at this moment, Xie Chengjin suddenly bit her neck.

He didn't bite hard, like a wolf biting its prey, not planning to eat it yet, but to bring it back to its den first. The tip of his teeth pressed against her skin/flesh, biting the layer of skin over her artery. As long as he bit through it, he would be able to taste her blood. He could tear her apart, put his lips on her wound, and swallow her blood into his throat. It was sweet and sticky, and could well relieve his pain at the moment.

But he just bit the small piece of skin, grinding it gently.

Xie Yanyu's scalp was about to explode.

Being bitten by someone's teeth in the most vulnerable part of her body, even if it didn't hurt, could still bring a strong sense of unease. Her back felt weak and numb, and her legs softened uncontrollably, almost making her unable to stand. However, the person who was bitten back and should have been unable to stand, reached out and supported her waist.

The veins on the arm that was wrapped around her waist were throbbing, and even the veins on his neck were pulsating slowly.

He bit that small piece of her skin, and sometimes even rubbed it with his lips, as if he was feeling her pulse through the skin.

In the overwhelming scorching body temperature,

Xie Yanyu heard him say, "I don't want your blood."
