Chapter 182 [Alien Species] Xiao Jin Knows His Mistakes But Refuses to Change
"Hua Jin!" Mu Chi said angrily. He wanted to push her away, but his body instinctively pulled her in.
"If you don't want to, you can blindfold yourself based on what I saw in the storybook." Hua Jin pulled off Mu Chi's hairband and blindfolded him.
His heart tightened. Not being able to see the wine meant that his other senses would be amplified. He felt uneasy and panicked for no reason. He clutched Hua Jin's shoulders tightly, trying to ease his anxiety.
"Don't be afraid," Hua Jin felt the person beneath him trembling. "In fact, the story says that it will hurt the first time, but not the second or third time. This is your third time, so it won't hurt."
At this time, Hua Jin didn't know much. These were just the scripts given to him by Zuo Qianqian, and he had studied and pondered them for a long time.
Hua Jin stood up slightly and untied Mu Chi's clothes, taking them off one by one. When he took off the last piece of clothing, Mu Chi held his hand.
"No..." Mu Chi's heart was in his throat, he seemed to be really driven crazy by the aphrodisiac, he let go again pitifully.
Hua Jin continued, and when he took off the last piece of clothing, he was stunned.
The marks on Mu Chi's body were clearly caused yesterday and the day before yesterday. Could it be that Master has looked for someone else in the past half month?
He didn't think about it too much, nor did he ask. He felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He just felt that his sweetheart had been defiled by someone, and he was very unhappy.
What he didn't know was that Mu Chi had only been separated from him for half a day, and all the marks on his body were caused by him, and Mu Chi was the only one there.
Mu Chi felt that Hua Jin, who had been moving gently, suddenly became rough. He didn't know what was happening and was about to take off the hairband.
"Don't move." Hua Jinla grabbed his wrist and raised it above his head.
"What are you doing?"
Hua Jin didn't answer, and Mu Chi felt a little ashamed and didn't say anything else.
This time it was still unpleasant. Both of them were angry, but they had to finish it.
…
Mu Chi felt uncomfortable all over. He tidied his clothes and leaned against a dead tree, looking up at the sky for the moon. It started to rain at this moment, and the fire he had made was extinguished.
Hua Jin looked around, then picked him up and carried him sideways.
"What?" Mu Chi asked. Hua Jin didn't answer. "Put me down. I can walk by myself."
Hua Jin still did his own thing, opened a barrier to shelter from the rain, and flew into the city on his sword.
"Where are you going?"
This time Hua Jin answered, "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the destination.
Hua Jin carried him into the study of the Prince's Courtyard. Although he had activated the rain barrier, he still got soaked. He wrapped Mu Chi in the quilt and left.
Mu Chi was so exhausted that he sat on the bed and reached out to grab Hua Jin, almost falling down.
Hua Jin came back soon. He lit all the candles in the room, then sat down on the bed with ginger tea and handed it to Mu Chi.
"Ginger tea."
Mu Chi took it and drank it.
"Take off your clothes," Hua Jin said coldly. He was no longer as close as he used to be when he called her Master. It seemed as if he really wanted to break up with Mu Chi. "Take off your clothes quickly. Don't make me do it."
"What are you taking off your clothes for? Aren't you done yet?"
Hua Jin didn't answer and attacked directly. After all, Mu Chi had just recovered from the aphrodisiac, and his body and cultivation had not recovered so quickly. He could still do whatever he wanted during this period.
When he was outside, the old marks were not many and the colors were not very obvious, so he could not see them clearly.
"Hua Jin!"
He pressed Mu Chi on the bed, turned him over and over, and finally confirmed that the old marks were made by him, and were made half a month ago.
After Hua Jin finished the examination, he covered Mu Chi with a blanket, extinguished the candle, and stood up to leave, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong with you? As your master, don't I even have the right to know? You haven't spoken properly since we met. Is this how I taught you?"
"I told you, we are no longer master and disciple. No matter what you think, I..." Hua Jin paused, his words choked with an imperceptible sob, "I don't want to recognize you as my master!"
"Why? I have to know why, right? You're not saying anything, Hua Jin, I raised you. Others may not understand you, but I do. Something must have happened." Mu Chi saw Hua Jin's tone change, and he sat up. "Tell me, I want to know what happened."
Hua Jin was only seventeen years old, and in front of Mu Chi, he finally dropped the disguise he had been wearing for the past two weeks. He suddenly turned around and threw himself into Mu Chi's arms.
"I thought, I thought you were dead. I couldn't find you and the tracking spell didn't work."
There are only two reasons why a tracking spell becomes ineffective: either the caster breaks the spell, or the person being cast dies.
Hua Jin burst into tears. He had been suffering for the past half month. He asked Zheng Hao where Mu Chi had gone in the end. He wanted to avenge Mu Chi. Not only that, he also wanted to know how Mu Chi died and where his immortal body was.
Mu Chi softened his heart and carried Hua Jinshun on his back.
"If you die, I don't want to live anymore, but I won't let anyone who hurt you go." Hua Jin wiped away her tears.
"So you're joining them? Risking your life?"
"Only in this way can I get close to them and find your immortal body," Hua Jin's voice trembled slightly. He raised his head, "I can't just watch you die with your eyes wide open while they are safe and sound."
Mu Chi's heart was gripped tightly, and he finally understood how much pain was hidden behind Hua Jin's behavior.
"Silly girl," he looked at Hua Jin crying, and all his anger disappeared. "Remember this from now on, if I die, I don't need you to avenge me. I want you to live well."
Hearing this, Hua Jin's tears welled up again. He held Mu Chi's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear again: "No, no, you disappeared not long after I saw you last time. They all said you were dead, I don't believe it, I..."
Then he used the tracking spell, but there was no trace of Mu Chi in this Luoda Yandu, in this Luoda human world.
"I thought you were really dead..."
Hua Jin cried for a long time before she calmed down.
Mu Chi wiped his tears.
"So all your previous words and disrespect towards your master were lies. You knew I was still alive, so why didn't you acknowledge me?" Mu Chi asked him, "Tell me, what have you done in the past half month?"
"As you can see, I helped them. I was afraid that my death would drag you down, so I didn't recognize you."
Mu Chi nodded, and his guess was correct.
"Master has many questions for you. I hope you can answer truthfully. Don't hide anything and don't put yourself in danger."
"Okay, ask."
"Where is your uncle? You've seen him, right?"
Hua Jin nodded and said, "He is in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, disguised as a guard. He and I have agreed that he will avenge you after he finishes dealing with the matter here."
"I heard that you've been frequenting Wangyangchun Tower for the past two weeks. Zuo Qianqian is connected to the Imperial Preceptor, and the man behind them is the Emperor. Their goals must be different. Do you understand why?"
"No, Master, you are wrong. Zuo Qianqian and the Imperial Master are not in the same group. Although he conspired with Imperial Master Song Cisheng, he had other plans. He wanted to rebel against the Imperial Master. As for the Emperor, he was kept in the dark and deceived by Song Cisheng."
"in this way……"
Mu Chi lowered his eyes, and suddenly he held Hua Jin's hand, interlocking their fingers. Two runes suddenly appeared on his and Hua Jin's wrists.
His was an ordinary rune, and the one that appeared on Hua Jin's wrist was also a rune, but...
However, there is a trace of imperceptible demonic aura on it, which would be difficult for a low-level cultivator to detect.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Chi thought about it and only one person could answer in his mind. He asked, "When did you start interacting with Zuo Qianqian?"
"I……"
Hua Jin couldn't remember, in his memory they were just very good friends.
"Can't remember?"
"Master, don't doubt him. He has no ill intentions and he is helping me..." Hua Jin was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
"What can I help you with?"
"No……"
Mu Chi looked at Hua Jin's expression and knew that he would not speak, but he did not make things difficult for him.
"Go and ask your uncle to come."
"good."
After saying this, Hua Jin left.
Mu Chi looked at the tightly closed door and guessed that Hua Jin was under the control of Zuo Qianqian through some kind of magic.
I'm afraid Zuo Qianqian also has bad intentions, and Xiaojin is being used.
Mu Chi's heart sank. He had always been wary of Zuo Qianqian, and after the round jade was taken away, he wanted to wait and see what would happen before taking it back. However...
I just didn't expect that he would attack my disciple first.
After a while, Zhu Yingyan arrived.
"Valley Master!" Zhu Yingyan stepped forward excitedly, "You are really okay!"
Mu Chi nodded.
"Sit down."
Zhu Yingyan found a place to sit down.
"How's the investigation along the outskirts of the city going?"
"As we expected, we felt something was wrong when we arrived. Thankfully, you noticed." Zhu Yingyan took out a small paper figurine and handed it to Mu Chi. "The culprits behind those corpses and drugs were all puppets."
Mu Chi looked at the small paper figure in his hand. It was just a piece of yellow paper, and it was made by the same person as the ferryman he saw in the underworld.
"What's strange is that the puppets took on the appearances of the common people, and the people in the city also disappeared. But their families just said they were dead a long time ago." He was clearly working at home the day before, and was murdered the next day. "I checked, and the family and neighbors' statements are consistent. They even found the grave. I was worried that it was some kind of demon, but you and I were powerless. Later, when I learned that you were dead, I sent a letter back to the valley, asking them to send reinforcements as soon as possible."
"What about you? Where have you been during the past half month? Have you found anything?"
Mu Chi put the paper figurine away and said, "That day, I went to the palace to see the Queen and was about to go to Changning Palace, but the Emperor summoned me first. After a conversation, he took out the Heart-Reflecting Mirror and sucked me into the Heart-Reflecting Formation."
"The Heart-Illuminating Formation? Is this the Heart-Illuminating Formation that Master mentioned?"
Mu Chi nodded, and both of them frowned unconsciously.
Hua Jin opened his mouth and said, "Master, Uncle, I'm a little tired, so I'll leave first."
After Mu Chi agreed, Hua Jin left in a hurry.
"Xiao Jin has a problem. Has he discussed anything with you?"
"What?" Zhu Yingyan thought carefully, "He said that if you died, he would avenge you and find your immortal body. I thought so too. No matter where you died, you were from Hidden Valley after all, so he should at least bring you back. Then he proposed that he should go deep into the enemy's territory and find out the truth. I thought it was inappropriate. How could I let him do this for a child like him? But he insisted on doing so, and I don't know where he found out the murderer, but he didn't tell me. I have also been investigating outside, thinking that if it was a paper figurine, it must have a place of origin. But then the paper figurines suddenly scattered, and the clue was broken. What happened to Xiaojin? Isn't he fine?"
"He was controlled by a demon. It's a long story, but... this demon is fickle. I've fought him before, and he's very cunning. We can't take him lightly. As for the Heart-Illuminating Formation," Mu Chi paused, "I still find it incredible that a formation lost for so long appeared in the mortal world. And after I left the Heart-Illuminating Formation, I didn't return to the mortal world. I went to the underworld."
"Ah?" Zhu Yingyan was shocked. "This..."
"Yes, the Underworld... The Emperor wants immortality, so what do they want? Behind the Heart-Illuminating Array is the Underworld. Are they going to open the Netherworld Gate..."
Once the gate to the underworld is opened, the underworld will be out of control. The evil ghosts who have just passed away will not have to wait for the ghost soldiers to suppress them to the eighteen levels of hell. They can travel back and forth to the human world at will, and it is unknown whether they will go on a killing spree.
