Chapter 149 The Mirror Lights Up
After putting the engagement jade pendant away, Xie Yanyu and Xie Chengjin returned to the Xie Mansion together.
The carriage drove very smoothly along the way.
But Xie Chengjin closed his eyes and leaned against the car wall, still looking very uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because his body was too weak that he looked half-dead.
Xie Yanyu looked at him.
She originally thought that he would feel better after a rest.
But who knew, when they were almost at Xie's house, he seemed to be in even worse pain.
His face became paler and his chest rose and fell more violently.
He placed his hands on the table in front of him, gripping the corners tightly, appearing to be extremely forbearing.
Xie Yanyu saw this and asked, "Brother?"
Not knowing what was wrong with him, she moved closer and was about to ask.
However, the next second, the carriage just jolted slightly, and the man seemed to have lost his balance and fell towards her.
He was much taller than her. He leaned slightly to the side and pressed against her, pushing her against the wall of the car.
It looked like a very intimate gesture, yet also a bit possessive and invasive.
But perhaps because he was too weak, Xie Yanyu didn't feel any pressure. She could only smell the faint scent of soapnuts on his clothes. She tried to push him, but it didn't move him away, so she asked directly, "What's wrong with you?"
The remaining poison is biting back.
It has been more than half a month since the last backlash of the residual poison. Xie Chengjin has been weak these days. Now he is being tortured by the residual poison, and he feels as if his skin and flesh are being twisted all over his body, which is very uncomfortable.
But being close to her and smelling her scent made him feel better.
So he nuzzled the side of her neck and whispered, "It hurts."
A word inexplicably popped up in Xie Yanyu's mind - acting like a spoiled child.
But it was really hard for her to imagine someone like him acting like a spoiled brat.
She thought that when a person is extremely weak, his tone will also become fragile, so that even a cold and rigid person like him can give people the illusion that he is acting coquettishly and showing weakness.
But no matter what, his condition seemed to be worse than before.
Xie Yanyu looked down at him: "Where does it hurt? What happened?"
She spoke a little quickly when asking questions, seeming to be in a hurry.
But what is she anxious about?
Is she anxious because he is in pain, or is she anxious because he is not in good condition?
What is she in such a hurry for?
Xie Chengjin raised his eyes and saw her face. She was frowning slightly at this time.
For a moment, he felt that she cared about him. If she didn't care about him, why would she be so anxious? His Adam's apple rolled, and he put his arms around her waist. He couldn't help but hug her tighter. He didn't know if it was the residual poison or something else, but his heart was beating a little faster.
However, it was at this time.
He heard her say again—
"Is it serious? If I go back later, will my brother be unable to help me get the Zheling Ruler?"
“…”
Not caring about him.
She was concerned about Zhe Lingchi, worried that he would be so weak that he couldn't even walk, couldn't use his spiritual power, and couldn't help her do things -
Was it because the residual poison was too strong, making Xie Chengjin feel like someone was clutching his heart?
It was like being released loosely, then suddenly tightened after feeling pleasure, and then began to twist and tear it. He gasped and hugged her waist tighter, burying his head in her shoulder and neck, answering her word by word: "The remaining poison is backfiring."
That's very serious.
It’s good enough that I can walk two steps, let alone get the Zheling Ruler?
The Zheling Ruler is in the Great Treasure Pavilion, but even if you enter the Great Treasure Pavilion, you still have to use specific spells to find its location, and then use specific spells to take it out, which also takes a lot of effort.
Then you can only take it after the remaining poison has finished its backlash.
She frowned again when she thought of this.
But then he heard Xie Chengjin say, "Zheling Ruler, do you need it urgently?"
Actually there is no rush.
Because she wanted to break the spirit ruler in order to use it together with Li Xun's jade token to create a new spirit root for herself.
Now that Li Xun hasn't come to find her yet, it's useless for her to take the Zheling Ruler alone.
She just didn't like the feeling of things being left unresolved.
Moreover, the entire Xie family was watching over a treasure like the Zheling Ruler as if it were the apple of their eye. She was not even sure whether Xie Chengjin could really take the thing out, so she would not be at ease as long as she could not see it for a moment.
Hear his question.
She thought about it and finally nodded.
Xie Chengjin is becoming more and more different.
He was willing to bleed, to make himself like that, in exchange for her willingly leaving Helan Wei behind. Xie Yanyu noticed his difference and wanted to push him further. If he could do this for her, then perhaps he would also drag his sick body to get her the Zheling Ruler.
She thought so.
However, the next second, Xie Chengjin laughed softly again.
The breath fell on the side of her neck, but the laughter did not have much joy. The next second, the man bit her neck directly -
"Since you're so anxious, why not give me your blood? That way I can get better faster and get you the Soul-Breaking Ruler sooner. Do you want to give it up or not?"
It doesn't hurt.
But Xie Yanyu shuddered and his whole body tensed up.
It was a bite, but it didn't seem like he had any intention of actually breaking her skin. The tip of his teeth gently gripped the skin of her neck, rubbing it. It was more like a kiss. His lips rubbed over where her pulse was, and the tip of his tongue seemed to be caressing and licking it.
Xie Yanyu's hands and feet were tense, but his back felt weak.
Her breathing quickened, and she subconsciously pressed her hands on his waist, wrinkling his clothes.
Her head was dizzy, but she still remembered his question, so she told the truth again: "It's not that urgent."
I just don't want to give my blood to him.
But I want him to work.
Xie Chengjin burst into laughter and actually bit her neck. The bite was quite heavy, and Xie Yanyu's scalp was numb. She couldn't tell whether it hurt or not. She tightened her grip and kicked her legs outward. Compared to the subtle sensory feeling, the psychological feeling was more intense. She tilted her neck back, and for a moment her head felt white.
He also subconsciously raised his hand.
Pop.
He slapped Xie Chengjin in the face.
A particularly powerful slap.
Hearing the sound, she came back to her senses, gasping for breath, and saw that the other person had been slapped by her and fell to the side. He supported himself on the table next to him with one hand to avoid falling.
He lowered his head, and she couldn't see his expression, she could only see the slap marks on his face.
She was silent for a moment, looking at him.
Then he said: "Brother, I——"
I really didn't mean to hit him just now, it was just my body's instinct.
Because at that moment, she felt as if she was locked, grabbed, and forcibly marked by some kind of beast.
She pressed her neck and felt some teeth marks.
She looked at him, wanting to explain, but she felt there was nothing to explain. However, she was indeed a little worried about his physical condition, and she also had something else to ask of him. So she thought for a long time and said:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit my brother.
"Does it hurt? Are you okay?"
She reached out to help him up again.
Xie Chengjin felt like he was going crazy.
The pain in his body had already numbed him somewhat, but his face, where she had slapped him, felt a burning sting. No one had ever slapped him before. He should have been angry or embarrassed, but he saw her hand reaching out to him.
Such a pair of slender and powerful hands.
The skin is not delicate enough and has many small scars.
He smelled a faint scent of medicine, and the feeling he had suppressed on the boat came flooding back. He wanted to kiss this hand, to kiss it bit by bit, to bite it. But this person was his sister in name only. Biting her neck might have been due to the lingering poison, so he couldn't resist the instinct to bite her skin and lick her blood. He had done that once before, hadn't he? But kissing her hand? There was no justification for that.
And this person was apologizing to him very seriously at this moment.
She asks him if he is okay, if it hurts.
He closed his eyes, knowing that she was more or less concerned about him by asking such a question, and was about to speak.
But the next second,
Then I heard her continue to say——
"Brother, please don't be angry with me.
"By the way, since we have to wait until you are well before we can get the Zheling Ruler, then please draw a map of the mansion for me. I want to enter the Great Treasure Pavilion."
*
What is Xie Yanyu going to do in the Great Treasure Pavilion?
Go and get the Heart Demon Mirror.
To enter the treasure house, one needs to use spiritual power to bypass a bunch of formations. Given Xie Chengjin's physical condition, he probably won't be able to enter there in the next few days.
But the Heart Demon Mirror is still there, having been soaked in blood for many days, and it must not be broken.
He was sick and couldn't go in to bleed him, so she took out the things and let him bleed.
From beginning to end.
She cared about the Zheling Ruler and the Heart Demon Mirror, but she truly didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for him. Xie Chengjin hunched over the table, and after a while, he laughed in anger, but he finally agreed to her request, saying that he would draw the map the next day and have his servants send it to her.
therefore.
Early the next morning.
Xie Yanyu got up early and waited for Xie Chengjin to send an attendant to deliver the map.
Just after the hour of Chen, someone knocked on the door.
She opened the door.
But he found that the person who came was not Xie Chengjin's attendant.
It’s Helan Wei.
The other person's clothes have been changed.
However, his face was a little pale, probably because he was tortured by the love thread Gu yesterday. He looked a little haggard.
Seeing her open the door, he asked slowly, "You won't let me in?"
Xie Yanyu: "..."
His cultivation had recovered, and she thought he should go straight back to Shangqing Immortal Palace, or back to the Helan family. After all, Xie Chengjin had drugged him yesterday, and she had left him there, making him look like an abandoned dog.
With his arrogant nature, he would definitely not come to see her again.
Even though he is a little different, he won't throw away the pride in his bones.
She was a little confused.
I don't know why he came here.
But the man walked straight into the house and answered her question. Because he had no idea what was wrong with him, he hugged her forcefully, pressed her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I'll do what I didn't finish yesterday."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu thought he was crazy.
This gesture surprised her. She was about to push him away, but he grabbed her hand and put it into her clothes.
This man was only wearing an outer robe, not even an inner garment!
Xie Yanyu's mind was a mess.
Today's Helan Wei made her feel unfamiliar.
She had no idea what had stimulated him. Even when he was sitting upright in the chair, the expression on his face remained unchanged as usual. But how could he be like this?
Normally, even when the love-thread Gu attacked him and he was tormented by lust, he would still maintain a somewhat dignified demeanor. But now, she couldn't put her finger on what was different about him. She just thought, how could he be like this? So, so... shameless?
The other person's hands are hot.
He guided her hand into the outer robe, and she felt smooth, strong skin, and the thin chain around her waist, the same waist chain she had seen yesterday...
Even if the clothes are not taken off.
Even his posture still looks elegant and noble.
But Xie Yanyu already had the image in her mind, because she had seen it yesterday, so she didn't need to look at it now, she knew what it looked like under the outer robe.
She was shocked and looked a little dazed.
Then I heard him say, "Don't you like this? You were looking at it when you left yesterday."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu turned her head away, like an honest woman who was being bullied.
She was too tired to think, but she felt she should say something: "Hasn't the forbidden spell been lifted? Why are you still wearing it...?"
I wore it yesterday and it was acceptable.
He said he wore the chain because he needed to suppress some spiritual energy when lifting the forbidden spell. Yesterday, before going to the outskirts of the city with her, he had the forbidden spell lifted from the elders. It was normal that he had no time to take off the chain when he met her after he left the elders' place.
But why are you still wearing it today?
Of course, it’s because this chain doesn’t suppress spiritual power at all.
Helan Wei lied to her.
But he did not answer her. He was blind and used the Mind-Clearing Talisman. Even though he could not see clearly, he was always paying attention to her and focusing all his attention on her.
Now that he had completely let go of his reserve and lowered himself to please her like a courtesan, he found that this was not something he could not accept. He liked her expression like this, dazed. No one must have treated her like this before, so she was dazed.
So he leaned on her neck and just smiled——
But in the blink of an eye.
I also saw a bite mark on her neck.
The bite marks are still fresh.
It is light pink, with some traces of friction, very ambiguous.
Helan Wei's smile faded a little.
In just a few blinks of an eye.
Xie Yanyu felt that Helan Wei's mood was fluctuating, first he was very happy, now he looked very angry; before she could turn her head to see why he was angry, the next second, she felt him using some spiritual power, his fingertips fell on her neck, erasing the bite marks on her neck.
Then he lowered his head and kissed her neck again, leaving another light mark.
Xie Yanyu: "..."
She sat between his legs, not knowing what he wanted to do, but this time, she didn't push him away.
Then she felt the man moving her hand upwards.
Then she touched his well-defined chest——
There was also something cold on my chest.
The clothes covered it, so she couldn't see it, she could only feel two things that looked like clips, clamped in...
Her thoughts, which had just calmed down, exploded again.
The man's lips moved from her neck to her lips.
This time.
She had no energy to think anymore.
Being kissed on the lips, she instinctively used some strength in her hand and pinched the clip on one side. Her eyes dropped and she saw his Adam's apple rolling. She felt drowsy, as if soaked in warm water. His voice was very close, but also seemed to come from far away. She seemed to hear his muffled groan, but she didn't know if it was an auditory hallucination. She also heard him say that she looked at the waist chain twice and might like it too. Then the other party asked her if she liked it?
But these words were totally unlike what he would say.
Maybe it's an auditory hallucination...
But where did he get these things? She had never seen them before.
Is she too inexperienced? How, how could someone come up with such a trick...?
Xie Yanyu felt even more dizzy. A strong hand supported her waist, and she simply stopped thinking about anything.
But after a while,
She seemed to sense something.
He raised his eyes as if realizing something.
She suddenly realized that the door was not closed tightly, but only half closed.
Through the half-open door, she looked out and saw Xie Chengjin standing outside, looking at her with cold eyes——
The man looked very weak.
Holding a map in his hand.
He had just finished drawing something with his brush and ink. Yesterday, he had said he would ask a servant to bring it to her, but perhaps because of the backlash, he wanted to see her and smell her scent again. So he came over, his eyes fixed on her neck.
But the traces he left yesterday have been covered up by others.
*
In the afternoon.
Xie Yanyu went to the Great Treasure Pavilion.
She finally got the map.
Xie Chengjin seemed very angry and stared at her coldly for a long time. Her scalp tingled, so she simply pushed Helan Wei away and went out to ask him for the map.
He said nothing, put down the map and was about to leave.
But perhaps she was too weak, and before she even left her yard, she coughed up blood and fainted.
Later, there was another period of chaos and war. She sighed and finally asked Helan Wei to send Xie Chengjin back.
According to the location on the map, she turned around and around.
Finally, she found a courtyard.
This looked like an ordinary courtyard, with several formations inside. Following the instructions on the map, she used her spiritual power to dissolve the formations, then went around two corridors before entering the Great Treasure Pavilion.
There seems to be a teleportation array here.
When she walked to the corridor and just pushed open a door in front of her, the next second, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically.
When she regained consciousness, she was already standing in the middle of the magnificent treasure house. She walked to the window and found that the scenery outside was full of lush greenery, completely different from the scenery she had seen when she walked around the corridor when she came in.
So much so that she still couldn't figure out where this treasure house was located.
But it’s good to be able to come in.
She looked around and felt regretful because the location of the Zheling Ruler was mysterious and she couldn't get it.
So she wandered around again and found the vessel that contained the Heart Demon Mirror.
Then he took out the utensils.
Wait until we leave the Treasure House.
She opened the vessel and took a look inside.
I originally wanted to see how much blood was left inside, but that was all I got.
She discovered that the edge of the Heart Mirror emitted a soft white light.
It lights up.
