Chapter 285 Eve

Yun Qingqing was just asking casually.

Hearing her say this, he nodded without thinking too much and asked again:

"Then what should I call you?"

"To answer Miss Yun, my name is A'Du."

"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Adu." Yun Qingqing said gently.

"Okay, then I'll help you." A'Du secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to support Yun Qingqing.

The thin young man suddenly stood in front of Yun Qingqing, blocking A'du.

"Miss Adu, just lead the way. I'm here for you." The young man's light grey eyes curved slightly, with the corners of his lips curled up in a perfect arc.

I don’t know if he spoke unclearly or did it on purpose, but Adu was called Adu.

A'Du glared, his face flushed slightly as he was blocked by him. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, the young man asked with a smile:

"Is it all right, Miss A-du?"

This time he pronounced her name very slowly. A'Du looked at him and his face suddenly turned pale.

She bit her lips hard, lowered her head and said softly:

"Well, then... please follow me, both of you."

The young man was not surprised by her retreat. The corners of his lips widened, and he turned around and carefully pulled up the corner of Yun Qingqing's sleeve.

"Sister..." He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held Yun Qingqing's wrist, saying softly, "Sister, come this way."

Yun Qingqing felt a cool hand holding her wrist and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She had long noticed that Ahan extremely hated physical contact with others, and she could understand why he was like that, so she was very careful to keep her distance along the way, and would not touch his boundaries even if she accidentally did so.

So she was already a little surprised when he helped her wipe the blood just now, and she was even more surprised now.

"Sister," the boy's voice suddenly rang in my ears, "how do you want to treat your eyes?"

Yun Qingqing regained her thoughts, raised her eyebrows and tilted her head:

"Are you so sure my eyes can be cured?"

"If it can't be cured, I won't be so relaxed." The young man chuckled softly. "Lord Yan Jun seems to be aware of this. He seems so worried about you, but he didn't even ask if your eyes can be cured."

A'Du in front paused slightly.

Yun Qingqing also paused: "Miss A'du?"

"Ah... I was just thinking about a difficult errand and got distracted. Sorry!"

A'Du explained hurriedly and continued walking forward.

Yun Qingqing's thoughts were still on the previous sentence, and she chuckled:

"I was injured in Lord Yan's palace. He would be nervous, but he couldn't be as 'nervous' as you say, right?"

"As for the matter of my eyes, since he can sit in the position of Lord Yan, he must be very capable. It's not surprising that he knows about it."

"Actually, you don't have to worry. My eyes are just overused. I don't need any treatment. I just need to go home and get a good night's sleep tonight and I'll be fine."

"I see." The young man felt relieved and responded calmly.

Those light-colored phoenix eyes looked at A'Du's slightly hunched shoulders in front of him, and curled his lips meaningfully.

Yun Qingqing had sharp senses, and with someone guiding her, she was no slower than when she came, and soon returned to the place where she had entered the underworld.

A'Du raised his hand to open the entrance to the Yin-Yang world and stepped aside:

"Miss Yun, take care."

Yun Qingqing walked through the exit, turned around and nodded, and just as she thanked him, she heard Zhiluo's exclamation:

"What's wrong with you? You went to the underworld and injured your eyes like this! If I had known, I would have gone with you..."

At the other end of the underworld, A'Du looked deeply at Yun Qingqing, who was smiling and comforting others. He pinched the corner of his sleeve tightly, and his eyes gradually turned red.

She suddenly felt a cold gaze sweeping over her, and saw the clear and beautiful young man looking at her. She waved her sleeves fiercely and closed the road to the underworld.

But he remained standing there for a very long time before transforming into a ray of light and flying towards the Yama Palace.

…

In the inn, Zhiluo started shouting and screaming.

After finally accepting Yun Qingqing's statement that "this must be done, the eyes will be healed overnight", I reluctantly asked her:

"So what do we do next?"

Yun Qingqing counted on his fingers and pondered for a moment:

"The rain is bound to change tonight. Let's go directly to the hill behind Jinping Temple and wait!"

The rain outside is getting heavier.

Fortunately, Yun Qingqing had a teleportation array talisman, so she sent Zhiluo there first and asked her to set up the talisman array there.

However, the rain in Pingzhou’s main city was only heavier than that in Loucheng, and Yun Qingqing’s target location was the mountain behind the temple.

Zhiluo searched for a long time and finally found a cave that could accommodate a person, and then she set up the formation talisman.

In the inn, Yun Qingqing took the time to meditate and recover while waiting, with a layer of white gauze still covering her eyes.

The young man sat quietly at the table, holding his chin and looking at her without blinking, as if he was thinking about something.

Until a ray of light penetrated the rain curtain and window lattice and flashed in front of Yun Qingqing.

The young man stood up suddenly and ran to Yun Qingqing nervously.

"elder sister!"

Yun Qingqing smiled slightly. She and Zhiluo had a contract, so she could sense each other without using her eyes.

"It's okay, Zhiluo sent me a message, we can leave now."

The boy's pupils flickered slightly, and he nodded obediently. He reached out to help her and asked casually:

"Sister, Zhiluo... isn't she a human? What is she?"

Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and said:

"She is a mountain ghost, transformed from the essence of the mountains and rivers. Now she is worshipped by the people of that area and is considered the mountain god of that place."

"Oh." The young man nodded as if he understood something.

"So, when she called me a vixen before, she was really complimenting me, right?"

Yun Qingqing paused slightly:

"Yes...she really didn't mean any harm, but it's true that what she said hurt you. How do you...feel now?"

The young man looked at her deeply for a moment, and his cold voice became serious:

"Before, I thought she was human, so I was very angry."

"But now that I know she's not human, I'm not angry anymore. After all, we're all aliens, and aliens' thoughts are naturally different from humans'."

Yun Qingqing didn't know what to say.

The child thought he was an alien, and although he didn't agree, he couldn't really refute it.

She sighed in her heart and said softly:

"Ahan, clear the center of the ground. I'm going to set up the formation."

But the young man seemed to have something else to say, pulling her sleeve and saying:

"Sister, you said I have never committed any sin, but I have a heavy debt..."

He hesitated for a moment, and Yun Qingqing said softly:

"Just ask whatever you want to ask."

The young man seemed to have made up his mind and asked:

"Sister, did you...see my past life? What exactly is this cause and effect you're talking about?"

Yun Qingqing pondered for a moment and gave him a gentle smile:

"That karma is that you made a wish in a past life, and you were willing to sacrifice everything for this wish."

The boy was silent for a while.

Just when Yun Qingqing thought he was not going to ask any more questions, the young man's voice rang out softly:

"What kind of wish is it? Can't you tell me?"

Yun Qingqing shook her head:

"The secrets of heaven are mysterious, so when I tried to pry into them, it would bite back and warn me."

"I can only tell you that in that life, you were willing to fulfill this wish."

She was silent for a while, then asked softly:

"Now that you know this, do you hate your past self, or wish you hadn't had this wish? Actually, if you're willing to pay a price, I have a way to help you cancel the cause and effect of this wish."

She thought the boy would either agree immediately or think for a long time before making a decision.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard him say without hesitation:

"Sister, I want to continue to fulfill that wish."

Yun Qingqing was slightly stunned.

She wasn't quite sure what changes had taken place in the child's heart when he was with Lord Yama, but his temperament was indeed completely different from when he was on the way to Yama Palace.

At that time, he thought that the world was better than hell and would rather stay there and be punished.

But now he knew that just because of a wish, he would fall into an endless sea of suffering, but he became more determined.

"Sister," the young man's voice, like broken jade, seemed to carry a hint of anticipation, "Whatever wish is worth the price I'm willing to pay to fulfill it, it must be worth it!"

Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then her mind suddenly became clear.

Isn’t this exactly the original appearance of the person she saw in the Samsara Mirror?

Yun Qingqing smiled gently:

"Yes, you think she is worthy."

The young man didn't notice the change in her words, so he said no more and gave up the central space on the ground for her to set up the formation.

After a flash of light, the two appeared in a cave in the back mountain of Jinping Temple.

The rain outside was heavy and fast, accompanied by flashes of lightning and roars of darkness. It should have been daylight in the afternoon, but now it was already pitch black as night.

Fortunately, this cave is halfway up the mountain, and the terrain is high inside and low outside, so there is no water accumulation.

Yun Qingqing had prepared all kinds of supplies for camping early in the morning. With the help of various talismans and Zhiluo's blessing, the few of them spent the night safely in the cave, and it was not difficult to endure.

Mid-morning.

The sky was still pitch black, and the bonfire in the center of the cave was half bright and half dim. Outside, the lightning and thunder were becoming more and more frequent, as if they were going to split a hole in the sky.

Yun Qingqing opened her eyes and sat up.

Zhiluo, who was on night watch, came in front of her in a flash, looked into her eyes carefully and said in surprise:

"Have your eyes recovered?"

Yun Qingqing was just about to remind her to keep her voice down, but she saw the young man next to her also sat up, not looking drowsy at all like he had just woken up.

She frowned slightly and asked:

"Didn't sleep all night?"

The young man pursed his lips, glanced at the cave entrance, and said calmly:

"It's just a night of thunder. It's nothing."

Yun Qingqing looked at his slightly blue eyes, sighed, took out a pill from the space and handed it to him:

"After taking this, you should be able to sleep peacefully. We'll come pick you up later when we're done."

The young man was stunned, and his pupils suddenly dimmed.

"Sister, you don't plan to take me with you?"

Yun Qingqing said softly:

"You haven't slept all night, so there's no need for you to go along with us. We'll be back when you wake up. Isn't that better?"

The boy shook his head:

"Sister, you might not know this, but even though I didn't sleep last night, I've never felt so peaceful and at peace before. It's not like before... Even if I did fall asleep, it was all nightmares..."

"Sister, even if I fall asleep, I don't want to stay here alone. Can you take me with you?"

Yun Qingqing looked at his stubborn eyes, and suddenly the scene in the Questioning Heaven Gua came to her mind again.

A pair of eyes that are half pure and half bloodthirsty.

Once this young man makes up his mind about something, he will become obsessed with it. If she just leaves him here, there's a chance something might go wrong, just like that variable.

Thinking of this, Yun Qingqing stopped worrying and nodded:

"Okay, let's go together."

The young man didn't expect her to agree so quickly. He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile broke out on his face, which seemed to make the whole cave brighter.

Without further ado, Yun Qingqing tidied herself up and took out a rainproof cloak for herself and the young man.

Zhiluo curled her lips and raised her hand, transforming the same cloak into one for herself, and the few of them walked into the vast rain.
