Chapter 92: The Truth (VIII) Angry, awkward, and coaxing him. ...
Xuanxiu was angry.
Mingyao supported himself on his arm and managed to stand steadily. Then Xuanxiu withdrew and walked a few steps away.
Even though she couldn't see his expression clearly, she knew that he was angry.
Mingyao wanted to explain, but she actually had a lot more to say to him, such as...
She opened her mouth, but before the words came out, she swallowed them back.
Forget it. If this matter doesn't work out, telling him in advance will only make him feel worse.
Faced with the current deadlock, Mingyao, who lacks experience in love, is somewhat at a loss.
I could only stand there with my eyes downcast.
She actually admitted Xuanxiu's accusation.
She was afraid that after she left, Xuanxiu would be bewitched by his inner demons and harm himself and others, so she pointed it out in advance to block his way.
Thinking about it this way, she does have her own purpose.
Xuanxiu's words are not without reason.
But she still felt a bit uncomfortable. Her original intention wasn't to argue, nor to hurt him. She pinched her fingertips and licked her lips.
Her lips were bitten by him and some blood oozed out. When she licked it herself, it felt a little painful.
There was silence for a moment.
For the first time, Xuanxiu was not staring at the person in front of him in the darkness.
The despair in my heart, the words that Xianyin said outside, and the inner demons that could not be suppressed were all clamoring.
"You shouldn't let her go. You can't let her go."
"The immortal power is still in our hands. If we interfere, she won't be able to return."
"That's right, that's right. We can't let her go. If she leaves, we'll never see her again."
"After all, she just feels sorry for you. Does she really like you?"
"Even if she likes you, you can't compare to her relatives and friends."
"So, do something so she won't find out. Then she won't be able to leave. After she's heartbroken, she'll still come back to you."
The chaotic chatter gave him a splitting headache.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
Yes, as long as she does something in the process of refining the immortal power, she won't be able to go home. It's so simple, she won't even notice it.
Greed stretched out its tentacles and enveloped him.
He held the immortal power in his hand, just like a starving person holding an immortal fruit. With just a light bite, he could achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven.
Xuanxiu's eyes gradually darkened, and immortal power lingered in his palms.
Ayao, please save me.
He closed his eyes, and the immortal power flowed into his spiritual altar and began to be refined.
…
Finally it worked.
Xianyin was perched above the clouds, but she knew what was happening inside the house in an instant.
There were shouts and curses coming from below.
"Damn you immortal, you're using so many tricks here. If you have the guts to seduce that immortal body into doing something, then you can let your grandmother Tiandao out. I'll beat you up so badly that even your own mother won't recognize you."
Hearing this, Xianyin smiled coldly, losing her kindness in front of Xuanxiu Mingyao.
Make sarcastic remarks.
"Heavenly Way? You are worthy of being called Heavenly Way. It is just the order created by this human world. If you really have the ability, how can my remaining immortal power suppress you?"
"How dare you say that? It's clearly your Immortal Realm that's been playing tricks on you. You've caused your own downfall and destruction, yet you come to wreak havoc on our land. How shameless! Shameless!"
Being pointed at and scolded, Xianyin's voice became cold.
"If you hadn't been so determined to marry off our immortal power to someone else, we wouldn't have reached this point today. The immortal power must remain in Xuyou Immortal Mountain, and the only one who would have died would have been that person from another world."
As she spoke, the image above Yaochi appeared in front of the cloud mirror. Xianyin looked at the familiar figure in the mirror with a sneer, and a breeze suddenly appeared beside her.
"And these traitors, weren't you the one who instigated them?"
"Since you are so eager to seize the immortal power and do evil things, then if fate is unpredictable, you deserve to die."
As soon as the words fell, the breeze grew stronger and rose from the deep valley.
"You, you evil immortal, what exactly are you going to do?"
"The traitorous immortal, the destined person, these two things you created... It would be very interesting if the traitorous immortal killed the destined person you are obsessed with."
**
In the darkness.
In a daze, the refined immortal power returned to Mingyao's body.
After refining the immortal power just now, Xuanxiu entered the formation before her.
She went to look for the immortal voice again, asked some questions, and asked about her choice. Only then did she realize that she was a mortal body, and even if she could control all the immortal power for a short time, her body would collapse after a while and would not be able to support her to go home.
The reason for these two choices is actually to ensure that she can obtain immortal power and survive.
Either you get a lot of immortal power, kill Miaomiao, and use Miaomiao's immortal body as a thing to restrain the immortal power.
Either you get nine parts of refined immortal power and then adapt to the formation for another nine days.
Now, perhaps because of the added power of the immortal, things that I didn’t understand before, I now understand.
After sitting alone for a while, Mingyao finally realized she was sitting on the street. Xuanxiu had already entered the formation Xianyin had mentioned.
I don't know if he will still go with her.
When my mind was wandering, something cold seemed to slide across the back of my hand, and it felt wet and uncomfortable.
Mingyao glanced down impatiently and saw a rat snake as thick as a thumb dragging its tail across the back of her hand.
"ah--"
Mingyao broke out in a cold sweat instantly, screamed and stood up, protecting himself with his immortal power, and subconsciously mobilized it to kill the snake.
"Don't move."
In a flash, the rat snake was caught by one hand, pinched by the seven inches, while the other hand pointed at Mingyao's forehead, "Don't forget, once you enter this formation, you can no longer use your immortal power. If you do, you can never return."
Mingyao's panic gradually subsided. He blinked his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and called out awkwardly, "Miaomiao..."
"Yeah." Xuanxiu in front of him became much more distant. He let go of the snake and just lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.
This lukewarm attitude made Mingyao feel much more reserved.
"Let's go."
Fortunately, Xuanxiu spoke first.
"Where are you going?" she quickly took over.
Xuanxiu's gaze fell on her waist: "Didn't you see the jade token on your waist? Within this formation, you are a demon catcher, so now it's time to catch a demon."
After Xuanxiu reminded her, Mingyao realized that there was indeed a jade pendant hanging around her waist.
"But... can't I use my immortal power?"
"So, this is why this formation makes things difficult for you."
Mingyao followed Xuanxiu and found a place to stay. He also listened to Xuanxiu's general description of the situation in the formation.
In general, there is only one core rule -
You cannot use your immortal power.
As for other things, such as the various monster-killing tasks that appear in the formation, they must be completed, but they do not have to be completed successfully. Being defeated and eaten by the monsters in the formation is also a kind of completion.
"No matter what happens to you, whether it's the elderly, the weak, the sick, or a woman or child, if anyone dies in front of you, you must not use your immortal power. Even if a demon attacks you and your life hangs by a thread, you must never use your immortal power. Remember my words."
"Okay." Mingyao nodded in agreement, very seriously.
After finishing the business, Xuanxiu stood up and was about to leave.
Mingyao subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Miao Miao...are you still angry with me?"
After asking the question, Mingyao didn't dare to look at him again and lowered her head in a evasive manner.
She thought about it carefully and felt that if she let Xuanxiu leave, her relationship would become even more strained.
“…”
Xuanxiu did not answer. He glanced sideways at Mingyao who was holding the corner of his clothes. She lowered her head and looked sad, but the hand holding the corner of his clothes was very light. If he turned around and took a step, the corner of his clothes would fall from her hand.
I'm afraid that even trying to keep him is just a spur of the moment move and not sincere.
He lowered his eyes: "No, don't worry."
As he said this, he was about to leave.
It looked like he was still angry with her.
That's right. It hasn't even been an hour since he started to get angry. It would be too inhumane to ask him to calm down now.
Seeing this, Mingyao was quick to follow.
"So, where are you going? I'm scared. Can you take me with you?"
She followed him closely, fearing that he would use his magic to leave if they disagreed.
"Go find the eternal lamp."
"What is the Eternal Lantern?"
"If the lamp, the companion of a cultivator, goes out, the cultivator's path will be interrupted, and he will have no chance of becoming an immortal."
"Why are you looking for it?"
"I have a deal with someone."
"Who?"
"Come in the direction."
…
It was just a question and answer, and whenever Mingyao had a question, Xuanxiu would answer it.
But this "business as usual" attitude made Mingyao very uncomfortable.
If I try to coax him, I don’t know where to start; if I don’t try to coax him... Looking at the Immortal Lord Miaomiao in front of him, Mingyao sighed and decided to just coax him.
If... then it won't work.
She and he might only have the chance to spend time together for nine days.
She doesn't want to waste it.
Mingyao's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly fell down and sat on the ground.
"Ouch." She cried out dryly, then added slowly, "It hurts."
Sure enough, Immortal Miaomiao, who had been standing with his back to her, reacted, turned around and squatted to check on her condition.
Mingyao pinched himself quietly, and his well-developed tear glands produced a few tears.
"You're walking too fast. I can't catch up with you."
Mingyao pitifully put the blame on others.
Xuanxiu remained silent.
"I can't walk now." Mingyao continued to exert force, "You have to carry me."
"If you don't carry me, I'll have to limp along with you. How pitiful."
The real purpose is revealed.
Mingyao was also worried for herself. If Xuanxiu didn't respond or directly refused, she would be really embarrassed.
After a few breaths of silence, Xuanxiu turned around... Mingyao breathed in his throat, and then saw Xuanxiu squatting down.
Hey hey hey.
Got cheated.
Mingyao smiled secretly and "wrapped" himself on it like hitting a snake with a stick.
"Thanks to Miaomiao." The unpaid praise entered Xuanxiu's ears one by one, "Miaomiao is really amazing. Without Miaomiao, what would I do?"
She just didn't believe that anyone would not be secretly happy when hearing such flattery.
She kept chattering in Xuanxiu's ear, saying a lot of nice things, praising his good looks, praising his ability, praising him for being popular with girls, and praising him for being especially popular with her... But he was as steady as a rock and didn't smile at all.
Don’t you love to laugh the most on weekdays?
No matter how you try to make me laugh now, I'm not laughing anymore.
Immortal Lord Miaomiao is so hard to appease.
Mingyao was muttering to herself, her mind drifting away bit by bit. She lay on Xuanxiu's back, drowsy.
You can't blame her. Xuanxiu carried her so steadily. She was exhausted from running around these days and she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
The hand that was wrapped around Xuanxiu's neck gradually relaxed, and the praise she gave him gradually changed its tone.
"Silly Miaomiao... stupid Miaomiao... the most stingy Miaomiao in the world... if..."
The words were unclear and I could only hear the series of names at the beginning intermittently.
Xuanxiu stopped, found an open place, put her down, and let her lean in his arms.
Only at this time did he dare to look at her face.
I slowly smoothed the messy hair on her face behind her ears and adjusted her to a more comfortable position so that she could sleep more peacefully.
Then a light kiss fell on Mingyao's eyes, and left immediately.
"You'll hate me."
"You'll hate me after you know what I did."
"But, compared to you disappearing without a trace, I now feel that it's good for you to have some hatred left for me..."
