Chapter 39 Chapter 39 "I'm afraid you'll get hurt"
At the foot of Qingxu Mountain, there was a huge crowd of monks from various sects, led by the Yunlan Sect and the Shuanghua Sect, who came to subdue the monster.
The message he sent out hadn't received a response for a long time, and the leader of the Yunlan Sect couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His brows were furrowed and his expression was full of worry.
What blocked their way was not an ordinary barrier, but one set up by a demon cultivator. It could not only block people out, but also trap them inside, and could not be broken without the caster of the spell.
The demon cultivators on the mountain must have extraordinary origins to be able to set up a barrier to cover the entire Qingxu Mountain. If they barge in, not only will the barrier not be broken, but the people trapped in the barrier will be injured.
That is to say, they cannot force their way in.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect could only summon all the disciples in the sect and gather them outside the barrier. Although they could not force their way in, it did not mean that they could not use magic.
When they cast a spell on the barrier, a chilly purple-gold light suddenly appeared from behind them. The dazzling beam of light merged into the green light and rushed straight into the barrier, causing the dark red light wall to shake.
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Yunlan Sect paused slightly and turned his head to look. The person who came to help was none other than the leader of the Shuanghua Sect, whom he had met at the exit of the secret realm half a month ago.
Seeing that it was him, the leader of the Yunlan Sect couldn't help but take a second look.
It is said that the leader of the Shuanghua Sect is unkind and even cold and harsh towards his son. However, seeing that this man has come to Qingxu Mountain twice in succession, it seems that he does not care at all.
Although somewhat surprised by his appearance, the Yunlan Sect's leader remained calm. He formed seals with his hands, with his palms facing the barrier. Several green lights converged and slowly suppressed the dark red light on the barrier.
At the same time, the disciples of the Frost Flower Sect on the other side, after seeing their leader take action, also followed suit and chanted spells.
There was a sudden golden light at the foot of the mountain.
The people in the barrier seemed to be fighting each other. On the top of the mountain, dark clouds were rolling and sword lights were flashing. They were blocked by the barrier. People could not see the situation on the mountain clearly. They could only hear faint rumblings of thunder.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the light wall in front of him, as if it had been hit by something. The cracks became more and more numerous and deeper, gradually spreading around the light wall.
With a loud bang, the mountain shook in an instant, and a huge gust of wind suddenly swept down from top to bottom, and the dark red light wall was instantly shattered into pieces.
This scene happened too quickly, and before everyone could react, the disciples of the two sects were blown back several feet by the sweeping gusts of wind. Only the two sect masters remained standing where they were, motionless.
The barrier was broken, the clouds collapsed and the earth cracked.
It seemed like snowing from the sky, with sporadic snowflakes dancing in the air.
The gust of wind just now clearly came from within the barrier, which means that the barrier was broken from the inside.
Either the demon cultivator who set up the barrier is dead, or everyone inside the barrier has died...
Thinking of this, the leader of the Yunlan Sect frowned, while the leader of the Shuanghua Sect on the other side threw away his sleeves and rushed to the top of the mountain like a gust of wind.
Song Xuezhou and Mu Qinglan, who were pushed back by the gust of air, steadied themselves, stepped forward quickly with swords in hand, and called out "Master" with a solemn look on their faces.
The leader of the Yunlan Sect glanced at the direction where the snow-green figure left, frowned, and walked away, saying, "Let's go find Yun'er first."
Having said that, he flew in the same direction as the leader of the Shuanghua Sect.
A group of disciples followed closely behind.
The barrier was broken, the dark clouds dispersed, and the distant sky turned pale. A rising sun shone out from the morning mist, radiating rays of light.
It's dawn.
The dazzling rays of light fell on her eyelids. Ye Yunxi's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly. She lightly blinked her long, thick eyelashes like butterfly feathers and slowly opened her eyes in the bright skylight.
What comes into view are the mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and the cascading waterfalls. The sound of water comes from far away and reaches the ears. The splashing mist reflects dazzling light under the sunset glow.
Ye Yunxi stared at the waterfall hanging between the cliffs for a while before he slowly came back to his senses from his daze. At this moment, he seemed to be at the bottom of the cliff.
After hearing the roar of the monster last night, he and Ning Shuangchen chased out of the inn and chased it all the way to Qingxu Mountain, but they didn't expect to run into the guardian of the Demon Sect on the mountain.
They fought with the guardian of the Demon Sect, and finally used their two swords to break through the barrier together.
He and Ning Shuangchen were also blown off the cliff by the gust of wind when the barrier was broken.
Ye Yunxi vaguely remembered that when he was about to fall off the cliff, Ning Shuangchen reached out to him and grabbed his wrist.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously curled his fingertips slightly, and suddenly felt a coolness on the back of his hand, with a slight warm and numbing touch.
It felt like something was licking his hand.
Ye Yunxi paused, rolled his eyes, and slowly moved his gaze downwards, only to discover that a furry baby animal had been squatting next to him.
It has snow-white hair and a long tail with the tip of its tail swaying from side to side. Its hair is fluffy and soft, like a snowball, very cute.
Ye Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this the spirit beast he was chasing in the Qingxu Secret Realm?
Why are you here?
Could it be that... the monster escaped from the secret realm...
Just as I was thinking, I heard Ning Shuangchen's voice suddenly in my ears, "Awake?"
Seeing him staring at the spirit beast in a daze, he continued, "This is the Qing Ni beast."
As if it heard someone calling it, the cub squatting in front of it raised its head and shook its furry ears. Seeing Ye Yunxi wake up, it stopped licking and looked at him with its two bright black eyes.
Is this the Qing Ni beast?
How is it possible! ?
Wasn’t the creature that escaped from the secret realm the monster whose bones had been taken by the evil cultivator?
The young beast in front of him not only did not have a trace of evil spirit, but also exuded abundant spiritual energy.
It is clearly a spirit beast.
Ye Yunxi turned his head towards the direction where the sound came from, only to see Ning Shuangchen sitting cross-legged on the grass on the other side, and it seemed that he had just woken up.
He was about to stand up when Ning Shuangchen said, "Don't move yet."
Hearing this, Ye Yunxi looked at him in confusion, and then he saw the spirit beast beside him lowered its head and continued to lick the blood on the back of his hand.
In just a moment, the wound on his hand healed.
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but stare in amazement.
"It's healing you." Ning Shuangchen's eyes swept over the spirit beast, then landed on him and said, "It seems that it likes you very much."
When he was in the Qingxu Secret Realm, Ye Yunxi fell in love with this spirit beast at first sight and wanted to capture it as a pet. However, he lost track of it in the fight with Ning Shuangchen.
I thought I would never see it again, but unexpectedly it escaped from the secret realm on its own.
He stared at it for a while, then reached out and gently stroked its snow-white fur. As expected, the spirit beast rubbed its hand obediently.
So cute.
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but touch it again.
He still couldn't figure it out. If this spirit beast was the Qingni beast that escaped from the secret realm, then where was the Qingni beast whose bones were taken away by the evil cultivator?
I heard from my senior brother that the Green Lion beast appeared as early as eight hundred years ago. It was possessed by evil spirits and turned into a monster because its bones were taken away by an evil cultivator.
But the spirit beast in front of him was small in size, and was obviously still an adult green lion beast cub.
After the spirit beast healed his wounds, Ye Yunxi slowly sat up and said, "You said it was the Qing Ni beast, then what about the real demon beast?"
Ning Shuangchen looked at him and said slowly, "Do you remember the monster that was sealed in the forbidden area at the bottom of the cliff?"
The monster sealed in the forbidden land...
Of course Ye Yunxi remembered.
True Lord Ji Yue set up restrictions on the deep cliff in order to seal the monster, but they had only heard the sound of the monster but had never seen its true form.
Thinking of the roar of the monster he heard at the bottom of the cliff and the roar of the Qing Ni beast, Ye Yunxi suddenly understood: "You mean... the Qing Ni beast whose bones were taken away is the monster sealed in the forbidden area?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded.
Eight hundred years ago, True Lord Jiyue set up a forbidden area on a deep cliff in the secret realm and sealed the Qingni beast, which was possessed by a demon, at the bottom of the cliff to prevent it from falling into the hands of the devil again. At the same time, he set up restrictions to limit the cultivation and spiritual power of those who entered the forbidden area.
In this way, it all makes sense.
I just don't know what the relationship is between this young beast in front of me and the sealed monster.
While they were talking, the spirit beast seemed to be sleepy. It stretched its lazy waist and yawned, then curled up its round body at Ye Yunxi's feet.
Now the demon cultivators have retreated and the Green Lion Beast has been found. We have been out for so long, it is time to go back.
Ye Yunxi adjusted his breathing, looked at the spirit beast curled up at his feet, leaned over, and reached out to touch its head.
The Qing Ni beast seemed to have fallen asleep, with its eyes closed, and it made snoring sounds when he stroked it, looking completely defenseless.
Ye Yunxi touched its head, then its soft belly. After that, he raised his head and saw Ning Shuangchen staring at him intently.
He suddenly remembered that the Shuanghua Sect also came for the Qingni Beast, and he looked at Ning Shuangchen with a little more vigilance.
The next moment, Ning Shuangchen said, "Take it away."
Finally, he added: "It has already recognized you as its master."
Ye Yunxi was slightly stunned: "Me?"
Ning Shuangchen hummed and said slowly: "The Qingni beast will only heal its master's injuries. It escaped from the secret realm probably to find you."
It only heals its owner...
His injuries have healed, but what about Ning Shuangchen?
Thinking of this, Ye Yunxi subconsciously glanced at the other person's shoulder.
When fighting with the guardian of the Demon Sect, Ning Shuangchen blocked the attack for him in front, and the bone knife stained with demonic energy just brushed his left shoulder.
If the Qingni beast would only heal him, then the wound on Ning Shuangchen's shoulder would not have healed yet.
He and Ning Shuangchen were old enemies. What did Ning Shuangchen's injury have to do with him? It wasn't him who asked Ning Shuangchen to stand in front of him.
Even so, for some reason, he felt a little confused.
Ye Yunxi suppressed his inner irritation and turned his gaze to his surroundings.
Directly in front of us is a waterfall that looks like a white curtain, surrounded by tall trees that reach into the sky.
The thick branches gathered in the middle, forming a spacious and bright cave like a tree hole. The sunlight leaked through the branches, and the shadows of the trees were mottled on the grass.
When they fell off the cliff, they fell into this cave.
Ye Yunxi paused for a moment, but ultimately did not take the Qingni beast away directly. Instead, he opened the storage bag, rummaged through it, and took out a bottle of medicine powder made from top-grade hemostatic pills and handed it over.
Ning Shuangchen had been regulating his breathing silently since he woke up. When he saw Ye Yunxi handing him a bottle of medicine powder, he glanced at him and said, "Is it for me?"
Ye Yunxi was already a little irritated, and when he asked her this, she suddenly felt awkward, and turned away impatiently, "Forget it if you don't want it."
Just as he was about to take it back, Ning Shuangchen caught it in his hands the next moment.
Ning Shuangchen took the jade bottle containing the powder, pursed her lips and said thank you, then unscrewed the stopper and applied the powder on her left shoulder. When applying the medicine, she accidentally pulled on the open wound and took a deep breath.
Hearing his gasp, Ye Yunxi raised her eyes and glanced at the other's blood-stained shoulder, and couldn't help but frowning.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he took the jade bottle with one hand and applied the medicine on him while frowning and saying, "You knew it was a magic weapon but you still moved forward. Who asked you to stand in front of me..."
The more he spoke, the tighter his brows furrowed, and his voice was filled with worry that even he himself was not aware of.
Ning Shuangchen just stared at him without blinking. After a moment, she moved her lips and said slowly, softening her tone: "I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
After hearing these few short words, Ye Yunxi was stunned.
No one spoke anymore. The air suddenly became quiet. The bright sunlight shone through the branches and leaves onto them, creating a blur of light and shadow.
Ye Yunxi felt a slight heat in the tips of his ears, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and his thoughts suddenly became confused.
Afraid he'd get hurt?
Why?
He did not dare to think further, but just lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding the other party's direct gaze, and the medicine powder in his hand almost spilled on the ground because of panic.
Ning Shuangchen was still looking at him. After saying that, her heart suddenly calmed down, as if all her concerns and worries disappeared in an instant.
This may be the only chance.
No matter if he is rejected or disliked...even if he is hated forever, he will still express his feelings.
Ning Shuangchen stared at those evasive eyes, was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Don't you want to know why I came to you?"
When he said this, his voice was still steady and his deep eyes were full of seriousness.
Ye Yunxi turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye, but her heart felt like a deer, beating wildly.
"No, no need." As if he had guessed what the other party wanted to say, he pursed his lips and stammered, "I, I don't want to know now."
After saying this, he put away the jade bottle in a panic, but just as he turned around, he was grabbed from behind by Ning Shuangchen.
Then the world started spinning.
Two figures fell to the ground.
Their eyes met, and they stared at each other, with each other's reflections reflected in their eyes.
The world seemed to stand still, with only two people staring at each other deeply.
I don't know who approached who first, the two lips touched each other like a dragonfly touching the water, and soon they stuck together eagerly.
There was soft grass beneath him, and warm air fell on his neck. Ye Yunxi did not push her away, but just closed his eyes slightly, and gently grasped the corner of Ning Shuangchen's clothes with his hands.
Lips and teeth blend together, breathing becomes disordered.
At this moment, he finally found the answer he had been looking for down the mountain.
My heart was pounding in my chest.
Just as the two were kissing passionately, a snow-blue figure swooped down from the cliff. At the same time, a sharp shout came from outside the cave.
"Rebellious son!"
