Seeing this situation, Ning Wan's leaves began to curl up, as if they were sick, drooping and without any energy.
Xi Yan stared at the demon catcher in front of her, but she grabbed Shen Qiwen's wrist and used her spiritual power to heal him. Then, she pushed Shen Qiwen back, and a barrier appeared again, preventing him from coming out.
He then used his spiritual power to attack Yuan Shouyi's chest.
Yuan Shouyi tiptoed, stepped back, and tilted his back to avoid Xi Yan's attack.
The spiritual power hit the courtyard wall, and a big hole appeared instantly.
But this did not scare Yuan Shouyi away. Instead, he stood up straight and raised the sword towards Xi Yan, and spiritual power spread from his wrist to the tip of the sword.
Xi Yan didn't dare let Yuan Shouyi get too close to the house, for fear that the other party would discover Shen Jingyuan's presence.
She asked herself that she had never done anything harmful to the world since she gained spiritual consciousness, and it took her hundreds of years of practice to successfully transform.
Xi Yan's true form is a landscape painting hidden in Shen Qiwen's study, so she is also a veritable painting demon.
As a painting demon, she had been passed around by dignitaries ever since she regained consciousness. Often, one night she would be with a minister, and the next day it would be in the hands of the emperor. A few days later, the emperor would give the painting to a general, who would then give it to his own child...
Being homeless and displaced, they are bound to encounter some bumps and bruises, and are even more bound to meet people who don't take their paintings seriously at all.
Xi Yan once heard a very realistic saying: What you treasure is worthless in the eyes of others, and may even be like garbage.
Xi Yan didn't want to be treated as trash, so she had to practice desperately.
In order to ensure her own safety, Xi Yan had to learn a cultivation method that could protect herself.
This is what is called an illusion.
Later, he was finally able to transform into a human form, but only in that landscape painting.
She could only calm down, practice hard, and strive to leave her original body as soon as possible.
Hundreds of years passed like this, and when she was able to walk out of the painting smoothly, she found that her body had passed through many hands and finally fell into the hands of the young Shen Qiwen.
The only difference between Shen Qiwen and others is that he really likes calligraphy and painting, so when he saw the landscape painting, he directly hung the painting in his study.
That is, it was not put away, nor was it resold.
Although he was still young, he seemed to like this landscape painting very much.
I watch it during the day and at night, and I can never get enough of it.
Xi Yan had thought about secretly taking the real body away while Shen Qiwen was away.
But her luck was really bad. As soon as she walked out of the painting, she was caught on the scene by Shen Qiwen.
Although Xi Yan was embarrassed, she did not forget that she was a monster. She turned around and waved the mist of the illusion in front of Shen Qiwen.
And this illusion is not a killer move. Once you are hit by it, it will only confuse your mind and make you indulge in the beauty of the illusion.
The duration is only about a day, and it won't really hurt anyone. At most, it will just make the person who is affected feel like they are in a dream.
However, Shen Qiwen miraculously did not get hit. Instead, he rolled up his body as quickly as possible, held it in his arms, and said kindly:
"Girl, what difficulties have you encountered?"
Xi Yan never thought that the person in front of her would not be affected, and she was unable to react for a while.
When he came to his senses, Shen Qiwen had already stuffed a bag of money into his hand.
Shen Qiwen looked at Xi Yan eagerly, but his hands held the painting tightly in his arms, obviously guarding against Xi Yan.
Xi Yan looked at the changes in front of her. When Shen Qiwen asked her to leave the room, she always felt that something was wrong, until the door in front of her closed and she let out a sigh of relief.
Xi Yan suddenly realized: her "home" seemed to have been occupied by someone.
But when she thought about it carefully, she was indeed wrong.
Too rash and rude.
Thinking that Shen Qiwen was not tricked, Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this painting is indeed her original body, its current owner is indeed Shen Qiwen in the room.
Over the years, Xiyan has become accustomed to the human relationships and worldly affairs between people.
He also knew that in Shen Qiwen's eyes, his behavior was no different from stealing.
So he decided to visit him another day, explain his purpose to Shen Qiwen, and hope that he would give him the painting.
But things were not as simple as Xiyan thought. After Xiyan found the right words and had a good talk with Shen Qiwen, Shen Qiwen's eyes showed a little more worry about her.
"Miss, it's impossible for Shen to bear the pain of parting with this painting. Don't make up these excuses to cheat me out of the painting."
Xi Yan tried to persuade him, but Shen Qiwen just didn't believe it.
If she wasn't afraid of scaring Shen Qiwen, she really wanted to get into the painting and prove that this painting was really her true form and she was really a demon.
But Xiyan was afraid of Shen Qiwen's crazy look, so she made up an excuse and said that she really liked the painting and wanted to look at it every once in a while.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Qiwen opened his mouth to refuse.
"If you don't agree, I will come here to steal whenever I have time." Xi Yan said it as a matter of course, without any shame.
Such a tough attitude also successfully made Shen Qiwen give in.
Seeing that Shen Qiwen agreed, Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after he died, the painting would naturally become ownerless, and she could take it away openly.
Who knew that this wait would make her unable to watch him "leave" anymore.
But what Xiyan didn't know was that after the negotiations ended that day, Shen Qiwen watched her leaving from afar at the door, secretly feeling lucky: I almost wouldn't see her again forever.
But in the future, they will always have the opportunity to meet...
But in the eyes of the demon catcher in front of him, these are wrong and cannot be tolerated.
While thinking about it, Xi Yan mobilized the spiritual power from the demon pill and prepared to fight to the death with Yuan Shouyi.
The dark clouds did not disperse, but gathered more and more, and the sky became dark.
Yuan Shouyi pretended to be dignified, but a hint of pride in his determination flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Qi, I remember that when you transform, you can choose your own appearance, right?" Ning Wan's sudden question made Xiao Qi feel vaguely uneasy.
But thinking of that demon pill, [Host, with your current spiritual power, you can't defeat it even if you transform...]
"I know. Just tell me whether you can transform." Ning Wan interrupted Xiao Qi and spoke stubbornly.
In fact, she is self-aware and knows that she is really weak now.
But if she was asked to stand by and watch helplessly as Mother Shen died in front of her, she would not be able to do it no matter what.
The branches of the peach tree trembled a few times and even dropped a few leaves.
The wounds on Xi Yan's body increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her clothes were in tatters. She once again used her spiritual power to form seals and barely avoided Yuan Shouyi's attack.
Shen Qiwen loosened his hand again and again.
He hated his cowardice and incompetence at this moment.
