Chapter 25 Where did this wild man come from?
The demon race is mostly beasts,
Animals are accustomed to using their breath to mark their territory and identify their enemies.
Therefore, even if they transform into human form, they still retain some characteristics of animals, such as their unique aura.
Humans usually call this kind of aura demonic energy.
Chen Lang's breath was a cold, lingering scent of bamboo leaves. Just smelling it easily reminded people of his true form—
A cool, soft snake.
However, his cultivation was high enough to completely conceal his aura. He usually restrained his aura. Even the demons with a keen sense of smell found it difficult to sense the demonic aura on him when standing next to him.
However, at this time,
I don't know if it was to find Xie Yanyu quickly, or to let Xie Yanyu recognize him by smelling this scent.
Before he knew it, the scent on his body had spread to all directions. Within a radius of ten miles, whether it was the demons or humans, they could smell the cold scent of bamboo leaves. It was pervasive and lingering.
at the moment,
When Helan Wei smelled this smell, his expression, which had just relaxed a little, darkened again.
The words he was about to say were stuck in his throat. He didn't say anything else, but lowered his head to look at Xie Yanyu.
If he could smell it, she could definitely smell it too.
She had forgotten what had just happened in the cave, but she was still carrying this smell, and now it was all around her. How would she react?
Helan Wei is not very curious.
But for some reason, he really wanted to see her reaction.
So he slowed down his pace and stared at her seriously.
Then,
I saw her lower her head and smell her sleeves.
She seemed to have realized that the smell around her was the same as that on her body, so she sniffed very carefully, with her nose pressed against her sleeve, as if wondering why she had this smell on her body.
Her eyelashes were half-closed, and her posture was very focused.
It seemed that at this moment, apart from the smell in her nostrils, she could no longer pay attention to anything else.
Helan Wei watched for a while, then suddenly lost his patience and reached out to cover her nose: "What are you smelling?"
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
Xie Yanyu paused.
The lower half of her face was covered by his palm, and for a moment she could no longer smell anything else. Her breath was occupied by the cold orchid fragrance on his body. Then, because the posture changed to a one-handed hug, her body was a little unbalanced. The hand that had been supporting her back was gone, and she almost fell backwards. She was able to steady herself only because she wrapped her arms around his neck in time.
This is a more intimate gesture.
Xie Yanyu had to turn his attention back to him and responded, "Sir, do you smell the demonic energy around you?"
She is good at lying, but not a habitual liar. Most of the time she is just too lazy to spend the time and energy to tell lies.
There was no need to hide this matter, so she spoke the truth: "This smell is very familiar, I have it too, I must have picked it up in the cave just now. I always feel that there was someone else in the cave just now. If it wasn't you, sir, then it should be the owner of this evil spirit. I should be able to remember what happened just now when I smell this scent."
Helan Wei's eyes darkened when he heard this.
He stared at her intently, and saw the kiss marks on her neck again.
Of course she was familiar with this smell, because her neck was covered with marks from that male demon, and her whole body was filled with his scent.
It’s all marinated, how can it not be familiar?
Her expression remained normal, but he had to do his best to keep it from distorting. His blood was surging, as if something was pinching his heart. He couldn't breathe, his temples were throbbing, and his fingertips were aching. He wanted to ask her why she had to remember something she had already forgotten. Was it something so important that she had to remember it?
But he didn't ask.
Her mouth couldn't say the words he wanted to hear.
He applied force to her hands, not wanting to hear any of her answers. He covered her mouth even tighter and spoke word by word, "We've got everything we wanted. Does what happened in the cave still matter?"
Xie Yanyu was speechless because of his choking.
She instinctively felt that he was in a bad mood. Even though he spoke in a flat tone and there was no expression on his face, his eyelids were red, and she could feel that he was restraining himself, as if he was about to lose control and tear off his gentle skin, revealing the vicious and dangerous bones and flesh underneath.
He has been emotionally unstable lately.
Xie Yanyu was good at observing people's expressions and had seen him unhappy or angry many times.
But this was the first time, she instinctively felt danger, as if the suppressed emotions in his heart had finally accumulated and grown into a ball of hostility that could destroy everything. Although she didn't quite understand why he was angry, she could feel that as long as she said something wrong next, it would suddenly ignite all his suppressed emotions, causing all the anger that had been restrained to burst out.
She had been wandering around for many years and was very sensitive to danger.
At this time, her scalp was about to explode, so she was very tactful and didn't say anything.
Helan Wei saw her being quiet, but he felt even more irritated.
He didn't know what she was thinking about, whether she was still thinking about what happened in the cave, thinking about that male demon,
He suppressed his rising anger and warned her, "Don't think about unimportant things."
Xie Yanyu felt that he was abnormal and on the verge of going crazy.
So at this time, no matter what he said, she was not going to refute him, so she nodded along with his words: "Yeah."
Very obedient.
But it's a bit perfunctory.
But at least she nodded, which meant his warning was useful to her.
She looked normal, and he didn't want to appear too ferocious or out of control. After all, he had been superior and at ease since he was a child. Ferocity and out of control were too unfamiliar to him, so he forced himself to maintain his shaky sanity, stopped talking, and continued to walk forward holding her in one hand.
He came from a noble family, so his manners and formalities were impeccable. At this moment, he tried to control himself, and even with a faint expression on his face, he appeared calm and relaxed.
But he knew it himself.
He didn't calm down like that.
His heart was burning with fire. The emotion had no outlet and would not subside, like a guillotine hanging by a rope, the rope was broken in half, leaving only a precarious sticking point.
And Xie Yanyu didn't seem to know what he was thinking.
She seemed to feel that he had calmed down, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Not long after, she tilted her head back, avoiding his palm that was covering her mouth and nose.
Helan Wei did not respond.
He only watched Xie Yanyu from the corner of his eye. This lower-ranking person who had tugged at his emotions and nearly driven him mad, he wondered when she would finally break the rope holding him back from sanity. He actually felt a little bit of a desire at this moment, hoping that she would stop doing anything to provoke him.
He had always been gentle, but now he could hardly control himself and was about to lose his composure and become crazy.
He couldn't imagine himself like that. It was so unfamiliar to him that he instinctively resisted and didn't want to fall into such an unknown abyss.
But the next second,
He saw that she turned a deaf ear to his words,
She lowered her head again and sniffed her own clothes. She must have felt that what happened in the cave was very important and wanted to remember those things, so she would still secretly sniff the scent left by the male demon on her body while he was not paying attention, to find that memory. What she promised him just now was just perfunctory, and she was so rebellious.
The last string in Helan Wei's mind suddenly broke.
The emotions that were previously suppressed in my body came crashing down on me.
He was furious, completely enraged by her action. His rationality finally burned out at this moment. The hand that had originally covered her mouth and nose but was avoided by her suddenly changed direction and landed on her neck. He looked at the glaring kiss marks on her neck and pressed his fingers tightly on her neck.
He should have left her behind.
He should have let her die in the poisonous fog, or he should have killed her earlier.
He knew that part of his anger was directed at himself. He said he wanted to cut off ties with her, but changed his mind because she followed him. He chased her all the way like a madman. He chased her when she ran away from the resentful house, he chased her when she climbed over the wall just now, and he was still waiting outside the barrier when she entered the cave.
She acted as if she was avoiding him, which made him look more like an inferior.
She shouldn't be alive.
How could a toy cause him to lose control repeatedly and do things that were not in line with his status?
It’s not too late to strangle her now.
His chest heaved, and his hand pressed against her neck, gradually tightening.
With my palm against her skin, I could feel her pulse beating gently, so fragile, as if I could break her neck with just a little more force.
But he had his hands around her neck, and he couldn't bring himself to strangle her to death. Even after this, he still didn't want to kill her.
He became even angrier, and this anger towards himself could not be dispelled.
His chest heaved violently, his gaze frozen. He didn't want to kill her, but he couldn't help but question her: "Xie Yanyu, if you don't like me, why did you recruit me? Are you happy to walk me around like a dog?"
Xie Yanyu's scalp exploded.
She lowered her eyelashes and looked at the vein-filled back of his hand that was pinching her neck. She felt it was unbelievable.
How could a perfectly normal person suddenly go crazy?
She knew that he was not as gentle as he appeared to be. He was a wicked person at heart and regarded everything in the world as an ant's plaything.
But she never knew he could be so dangerous, paranoid and crazy.
She took a deep breath, unable to figure him out, not even sure if he really wanted to strangle her.
Because his hand was pinching her neck, but not too tightly, she only had a slight difficulty breathing, but not much discomfort, and could even continue to speak.
But no one could be sure whether he would suddenly exert force and strangle her to death.
She really wanted to repair the relationship with him, after all, there was still plot points to go on.
But she didn't like the oppressive feeling of being controlled by others, and she was not stupid. What was the point of following the plot at this time? Saving her life was the most important thing.
She decided to run.
So she coughed and asked him, "Why did you suddenly say that, sir?"
As soon as these words fell,
Helan Wei's attention was distracted a little.
She didn't care about his specific reaction, she just twisted her neck and slapped him hard with one hand.
With a "pop" sound.
Helan Wei seemed stunned by the slap, and the hand that was pinching her neck loosened a little.
Xie Yanyu kicked him hard again.
The one-handed holding posture itself made it difficult to restrain her, and this time, she broke free from his arms, loosened her arms around his neck, and saw that she was about to fall backwards to the ground. Before she fell, she slapped him twice in a row with both hands.
Then she fell.
Because she had recovered some strength, she was not afraid of falling. As soon as she fell, she groaned, used her hands and feet to get up, lifted her skirt and ran away.
Helan Wei was slapped several times in a row.
A sharp stinging sensation hit me, my face was burning, and a bloody taste came out of my mouth.
She actually hit him.
He hadn't used that much strength when he pinched her just now, but she actually hit him with that much force.
Usually be more obedient,
Even if she was a hypocrite, she tried to please him and show her courtesy to him, so she never disobeyed him.
Even when he was secretly smelling his clothes just now, he did it secretly, but now he actually hit him directly.
Helan Wei saw that she ran faster than a rabbit, and this time he was really angry and laughed.
His eyes were dark as he stared at her back, but he didn't chase after her.
He looked at her for a long time, and when her figure was about to disappear, a bundle of ropes suddenly appeared in his palm.
This rope is called the Immortal Binding Rope, a high-level magical tool specially used to catch fugitives.
As long as the fugitive's scent is anchored, he can be caught no matter how far away he is.
He used some spiritual power to drive the Immortal Binding Rope and tied up Xie Yanyu from a distance.
Then he pulled the rope, little by little, like a blunt knife cutting flesh, and pulled the man back.
Xie Yanyu obviously didn't want to come back.
But he couldn't resist the power of the Immortal Binding Rope and could only be pulled by the rope, moving step by step towards him.
Helan Wei slowly pulled her to his side.
Xie Yanyu lowered his head and didn't look at him.
Helan Wei leaned down slightly, pinched her chin with one hand, lifted her face up, and forced her to look at him.
The distance between the two of them was shortened in an instant, and there was a strange intimacy between them.
If they hadn't almost fought each other just now, they would have looked like a close couple in love.
Xie Yanyu was forced to look at him.
Helan Wei seemed to have calmed down by this time.
Or maybe it was past the time to lose his temper. Although the anger was still stuck in his chest, his expression was still calm.
He looked at her quietly for a long time.
Then he said in a strange and dangerous voice: "Keep running?"
*
at the same time.
Chen Lang didn't see Xie Yanyu at the entrance of the cave, so he followed her scent all the way to the cave and finally saw her figure in the fog.
Her back is no different from before.
Shen Lang remembered every little detail about her.
When he was about to reach her, he stopped again. His heartbeat became rapid. He began to get excited. His beautiful and fair skin began to turn red. He raised his hand and touched his face. Being pretty was useless. He should please her.
He remembered that in his previous life she always asked him for his heart-protecting scale.
Shen Lang has the bloodline of the ancient demon race. Although his body is a snake, he has heart-protecting scales like the dragon race.
The heart-protecting scales are extremely important. If you try to peel them off forcibly, you will be seriously injured.
But Shen Lang no longer cared about this.
How could he go to see her empty-handed? He should give her a gift.
So he put his hand on his heart, used some spiritual power, and peeled off his heart-protecting scales. The sharp pain came over him like a bolt of lightning, but he felt excited because he thought she would like this.
He held the heart-protecting scales and calmed his breathing to make himself look less excited. After the heat on his face subsided and he looked more normal and gentle, he walked towards her again.
The fog in the forest was so thick that I couldn't see clearly what was happening more than a dozen steps away.
As we got closer, the view became clearer.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he suppressed his excitement and obsession in his eyes and looked in her direction.
But the next second,
His gaze froze, and his beautiful amber eyes became bloodshot in an instant.
He saw a man beside Xie Yanyu,
The two of them were very close, with an intimate posture like a couple.
Where did this wild man come from?
