Chapter 70: Rebellion (Eleven) "I won't pester you."...
Sure enough, I still have to settle the score with her for yesterday.
Mingyao pursed his lips.
Just settle the accounts.
How could she be described as... like a scumbag?
Mingyao rubbed his hands awkwardly, gave a few dry laughs, and tried to get away with it: "...What do you mean by abandoning or not abandoning? How could I possibly abandon you? If I abandoned you, I wouldn't be able to survive in this world."
After saying that, Mingyao reached out, supported Xuanxiu's shoulders and stood up, but before he could step back, he was caught again.
"Ayao, you know what I mean." The Immortal King in front of him pursued him relentlessly, his face dark and unclear. Finally, he raised his eyes slightly, "We've already kissed you, Ayao, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Being hit in the soft spot.
Mingyao sighed. If he had known this earlier, he would have stuck to his original intention and resolutely resisted the temptation.
It's not possible to not give him an explanation.
However, before that, Mingyao decided to make things clear.
First of all, he has to change his habit of speaking in a threatening manner.
Mingyao glanced at him and stammered, "...I've already told you, you should be a decent person and stop talking about 'offering yourself to the bed' all the time."
Xuanxiu in front of him remained indifferent.
Mingyao pursed his lips, his voice as light as a mosquito: "...I, I must go home."
"You... know."
"I know." Xuanxiu's grip on Mingyao's hand suddenly tightened.
"After I go home, I probably won't see you again. Our worlds are probably not in the same dimension. So... nothing will happen between you and me."
“…”
"I know."
After a few pauses, Xuanxiu lowered his eyes and added, "I won't pester you."
Mingyao never doubted the credibility of Immortal Lord Miaomiao.
Pause——
"If you don't mind, I might...consider it. Should we give it a try?" Mingyao said it tactfully and conservatively, her heart pounding as she silently complained about herself. She'd made a big fuss. She was not doing her job, but here she was, talking about a relationship with her ex-husband's brother.
And even though she didn't want to admit it, what she said sounded really mean. Wasn't she implicitly admitting what Xuanxiu had just said?
However, if I don't have a relationship with him, kissing him without any formality does... seem a bit unreasonable.
The clash between lips and teeth from last night resurfaced.
Mingyao blinked, his face flushed, and he avoided Xuanxiu's gaze.
For a moment, there was no sound of talking in the room.
Mingyao's proposal did not receive a response from Xuanxiu for a long time.
She was already feeling a little timid and shy, and now she felt even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and hurriedly tried to make amends: "If you don't want to, you don't have to try."
"That's not the case."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanxiu spoke.
Mingyao felt relieved and mustered up the courage to look at him, only to see that his eyes were slightly confused, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just nodded slightly and responded with the word "OK".
Mingyao's heart moved.
To be honest, Immortal Lord Miaomiao is truly stunning, and his appearance is particularly breathtaking no matter what.
"Well... let's wait until we have produced ten mirrors, and then... decide whether we want to give it a try." Mingyao explained everything clearly before Xuanxiu asked.
"good."
After getting Xuanxiu's answer, Mingyao breathed a sigh of relief. At least now he didn't have to run away because of this matter anymore.
It’s better to delay it as long as possible.
Mingyao sat down and continued to eat the remaining food in the bowl, still a little dazed.
Xuanxiu was also in the same trance as him.
...What did Ah Yao mean by "give it a try"? "Give it a try to get married?" Is there still a way to try to get married?
Xuanxiu was skeptical but also moved by her. He had never imagined that he could give her a try for marriage.
The red rope on his wrist became shorter, and he didn't have much time left here.
Some things need to be decided early.
**
In the Temple of Immortal Gods
Xuan Hui watched Ming Yao and Xuan Xiu leave with his own eyes.
He could probably guess what Xuanxiu was thinking.
As for Mingyao... We haven't seen each other for a long time. Even though she has immortal powers, she is still the same, quiet and serene, and no one knows what kind of power she possesses.
It was because of this that he had the opportunity.
He looked at Xianshu's wrist. The thing made of ten mirrors was half real and half fake. Xianshu's body was fake, but the red rope in his hand became real because it was mixed with Yan Chen's breath.
This thing is a favor that the black shadow wants to give to Mingyao.
He had a very good plan.
Mingyao's body is now suppressed by his secret technique and is between life and death.
He calculated that Xuanxiu would enter the Ten Mirrors because of Mingyao, so he used a piece of his own memory to mix and fabricate, and then used other people as carriers to construct this real and fake world, and integrated the things needed to restore Mingyao's physical body into the red rope.
Mingyao's physical body has returned to normal, which is beneficial to them.
By selling this favor, even if their plan fails in the future, he can still survive by taking advantage of this cause and effect.
Ha. Xuan Hui laughed sarcastically. They were on the same boat, spending over two hundred years together. His hands were stained with blood, and there was no turning back. How could he leave him alone and hold a different paddle?
The important objects in the ten mirrors cannot be destroyed by external forces, but that doesn't mean he has no other means.
A trace of light spiritual power attached to the divine consciousness quietly merged into the red rope, not for destruction and recasting, nor for fighting over, but just to add a bit of protective power.
When Yan Chen made a wish, the power of his wish was integrated into this red rope. It is a rare object that can suppress and deconstruct the original aura of the rebellious immortal. Yan Chen cultivates immortality and does not reject spiritual power, so naturally it will not reject his now.
But without his wish power, this thing is useless to Mingyao.
On the contrary, if the balance between life and death in her body is disrupted, big problems will probably occur.
It’s not fatal, but there’s not much time left to live.
Xuan Hui suppressed the hesitation that flashed through his mind.
Mingyao was about to die anyway, and now this extra bit of fire he added just happened to speed up the whole process.
But the shadow would probably go crazy.
Thinking of this, Xuan Hui felt a little happy as his mind raced.
I just feel that the angrier the black shadow is, the better. It's just the right opportunity to teach him a lesson and let him remember that he has no way out.
From the moment I started planning this matter with him, it was bound to end in a fight to the death.
The rain is falling heavily.
Through Xianshu's eyes, Xuanhui looked into the distance.
It was also on such a rainy day that he met Mingyao.
The raindrops mixed together and fell in the forest, emitting a unique earthy smell. That night, he fell into Chu Ji's trap.
Too many people who shouldn't have died died in Shuangli Town, and the resentment gathered, alarming the heavens. The cultivators are not allowed to be touched by the rain there.
He almost died there as Chu Ji wished.
It was Mingyao who saved him.
If you are an ordinary mortal, you can just express your gratitude by giving him some magic tools or some pills.
These things are priceless in the mortal world, enough to thank her for saving her life and to sever the causal relationship between them.
But his hands were stained with the blood of too many people who looked like her. Their eyes were too pure and too innocent, so he recognized who she was in an instant.
A man of destiny.
It comes without any effort.
Looking at the rain, he vaguely saw Mingyao's shadow again. His consciousness was dwelling on Xianshu's body, and he could feel Xianshu's murderous intent.
The reason why she chose to live on him was not only because of the red rope, but also because of another reason.
He is very similar to Xianshu.
After hearing the divination from the young monk in the temple, even though the person in the divination was his loyal wife, the first thought that came to Xianshu's mind was to "kill her."
They are the same, they all value their own lives the most.
So, I'm sorry, Miss Ming.
After a sigh
Xuan Hui's consciousness floated away from Xian Shu's body and returned to his original body. When he opened his eyes, only a short while had passed in the present world. Ten mirrors were placed safely in front of him, and everything around him was quiet, with no unusual movement.
After this disaster, he actually gained something else.
At first, he was somewhat caught off guard by the black shadow's intervention. He was confused for a moment and did not figure out the key point.
Now that I think about it, no matter how crazy that black shadow was, after all, it would not joke about what they were planning.
Since he said he could trap Xuanxiu, there must be other ways to let Mingyao separate from Xuanxiu when he comes out of this mirror. That would be somewhat possible.
In this case, he still needs to proceed according to the original plan for the time being.
When Mingyao appears, he will take her two souls and force the black shadow to join forces with him before her physical body dies, just like they did in the past, to seal Xuanxiu together, and his plan will be accomplished.
Very fast.
"Very quickly." After experiencing what happened just now in the ten mirrors, Mingyao had become more open-minded. Since they had already kissed, there was no need to be shy anymore. He returned to his heartless state, lying on Xuanxiu, letting him carry him on his back, and flying back to the Fairy Temple on his sword.
Xuanxiu looked thin, but when she leaned against his back, she could feel the strength of his back, which made Mingyao feel safe and relieved. This reduced Mingyao's fear of flying swords a lot, so that he even had the mind to talk to Xuanxiu.
After years of being cooped up here, Mingyao finally had the chance to chat with others without having to hide his identity. He said, "The conditions for flying swords here are too poor. It's not as good as our airplanes. We can fly from one place to another very quickly, and we don't have to worry about the wind blowing on our faces."
As soon as he finished speaking, the spell in Xuanxiu's hand that was used to block the wind for her became stronger.
It's really insightful, Mingyao is very satisfied.
The place where they lived was not far from the Temple of Immortals, and it only took a short while for them to reach the place by flying on the sword.
Today was a sunny day, and many people came to the temple to make wishes. Yan Chen and Xian Shu were no longer in the temple.
Mingyao was led by Xuanxiu to the backyard, and Xuanxiu said that there was a place to rest in the backyard.
"Miao Miao, how can you tell when something happens and when nothing happens in this illusion?"
On the way, Mingyao chatted with Xuanxiu in a casual manner.
"I have some perception given by the immortal power." Xuanxiu answered every question.
Mingyao was very envious. Although Xuanxiu said that the immortal power originally belonged to her, she had been a mortal for too many years. Even though she could sense the power of immortality, she could not use it as freely as Xuanxiu.
"How about you teach me later?"
"good."
Although the road was winding, with Xuanxiu leading the way, they quickly found the place.
It is an inconspicuous room.
They thought they would have to wait a while, but as soon as they arrived, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Yan Chen rushed out of the room with a pale face.
Seeing that something was not right, Mingyao still cared about Yan Chen after spending some time together in the illusion. He forgot for a moment and subconsciously stopped her and asked: "Yan Chen, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Being stopped by Mingyao, Yan Chen was still a little dazed. His eyes fell on her face and he stared at her for a long time before he slowly said, "Ah...Yao?"
Since he had already called her, Mingyao simply responded: "It's me? Why do you look so grim? Where's Xianshu? Isn't he here?"
As he spoke, Mingyao pulled Yan Chen into the house, wanting her to have a good rest. Her face turned as pale as paper, and it was obvious that something big had happened.
But after a few steps, Yan Chen stopped her and lowered his head and shook his head: "...Ayao, can you accompany me for a walk? Not in the Immortal Temple, I want to walk around in the human world."
It looks like he had a quarrel with Xianshu?
Mingyao did not refuse. After nodding in agreement, he realized that Xuanxiu still existed.
She was a little hesitant, but when she thought about agreeing to give it a try, she asked herself through her magical power in her heart -
"Do you want to come with me?"
Unexpectedly, Xuanxiu didn't stick to her immediately, but just smiled with his eyes curved.
"You go first, I have something else to do, I'll come find you later."
"good."
Seeing Yan Chen beside him already started to cry, Ming Yao did not ask any more questions. He half hugged Yan Chen and walked out.
Xuanxiu watched Mingyao leave before entering the house.
Inside the house, Xianshu sat alone, blankly, a dagger half-clenched in his hand, the end of the dagger stained with a trace of blood. The red rope around his wrist was loose, but he couldn't remove it at this moment.
The only difference is that Xuan Hui's spiritual consciousness has disappeared.
Was he excluded from the Ten Mirrors? Or did he choose someone else to possess him?
Xuanxiu passed by quickly without thinking carefully. He came here to ask a question.
In the illusion, there were few people he could ask.
If he asked any passerby, there was no guarantee that the ten mirrors would not give the passerby a complete mind and soul, so to be on the safe side, he could only ask the man in front of him named Xianshu.
The immortal power condensed at the fingertips and wiped onto Xianshu's forehead.
The remaining sadness on his face disappeared without a trace, and he looked like a puppet.
Immortal Lord Miaomiao lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked the question that had been bothering him all the way.
"If a man and a woman are courting, and she says 'let's give it a try,' what does it mean? What does it mean to try?"
A hint of doubt also appeared on Xianshu's puppet-like face.
The two looked at each other.
After a long time, Xianshu finally spoke——
"Maybe, I want to try marriage with you?"
"Trial marriage?"
"In the immortal mountains, this custom is common. Men and women form Taoist couples and practice together, achieving twice the result with half the effort, in the hope of ascending to heaven. However, some male cultivators find dual cultivation to be a good idea but not practical, so some female cultivators suggest giving it a try first before making a decision."
"I see." Immortal Lord Miaomiao lowered his eyes, remembering what Mingyao had asked him before -
"Can I also cultivate immortality?"
"I want to go home."
Plus, maybe he acted too immature yesterday, so she had this doubt?
Then...did Xuan Hui ever satisfy her?
Immortal Lord Miaomiao's heart suddenly sank.
