Chapter 27: Twisted and entangled until they are inseparable
Chen Lang's cultivation is very high.
He could hide his breath at will, so when he used this move, he also concealed his breath, and when his spiritual power was released, not even a trace of wind was created.
Xie Yanyu didn't notice anything unusual.
However, Helan Wei's cultivation level was comparable to his, and he noticed his move almost as soon as he made it.
This move was ruthless, almost fatal.
Helan Wei had to distance himself from Xie Yanyu and quickly counterattacked.
He glanced at Chen Lang's figure in the mist, and didn't want Xie Yanyu to notice that the male demon was here, so he attacked very quietly, just moving his fingers slightly, summoning a spiritual power from afar, and hitting back silently.
Two invisible spiritual powers collided in mid-air.
Because no one wants to be noticed by Xie Yanyu,
So when they were fighting, they didn't make any noise, and the surroundings were quiet, as if nothing had happened.
But neither of them held back, wishing to kill the other.
So after a few moves, both sides were injured.
Chen Lang had previously used the Soul Separation Technique to injure his soul, and had just peeled off a piece of heart-protecting scales with his own hands. He was weak at this time, and was hit in the heart. He took two steps back and could no longer support himself. He could not maintain his human form for the time being, and his legs turned into a snake tail. He sat down against a tree and gasped for breath.
He was injured and had no strength left in his hands.
The heart-protecting scale that he was originally holding in his hand to give to Xie Yanyu also fell to the ground.
Helan Wei didn't get any good results either.
He felt a sharp pain in his dantian, his soul was hurt, there was a bloody taste in his throat, and he covered his mouth and coughed.
On this side,
Xie Yanyu saw Helan Wei suddenly distanced himself from her, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Then, he was seen coughing up blood again.
Xie Yanyu: ...?
Why did you suddenly vomit blood?
Xie Yanyu was a little confused and was about to ask,
However, at this time,
She suddenly heard a system prompt in her head——
[The progress of Helan Wei's plot has increased by 2%. The current progress of Helan Wei's plot line is 12%. Please keep up the good work.]
[Shen Lang's plot progress increased by 2%. The current Shen Lang plot line progress is 2%. Please keep up the good work.]
Xie Yanyu paused.
The progress of Helan Wei's plot was within her expectations.
Although she didn't think Helan Wei liked her, she still deliberately misunderstood his words as him liking her, just to lead to her later words "I like you too, young master", and then kiss him. This not only made her actions less abrupt, but also fit in with the original plot -
In the original plot,
She and Helan Wei have a lot of intimate scenes, including but not limited to expressing her feelings to him and kissing him.
She just did both, so it's normal for the plot to progress.
But she didn't expect to hear Shen Lang's name.
She asked the system: Chen Lang? Is that the Demon Lord?
System: [Yes.]
Xie Yanyu: Why will the plot progress of Demon Lord increase?
The system couldn't deceive Xie Yanyu on this point.
She asked, and even if it didn't want to, it had to tell the truth: [In the original plot, before you and Shen Lang got married, Helan Wei once saw you being intimate.]
As soon as these words fell.
Xie Yanyu's mind went blank for a moment.
What the system meant was that Shen Lang had seen all of her intimate behavior with Helan Wei just now.
Almost instantly, she thought of the gaze that had just been peeping at her from behind, and asked the system: Is Chen Lang here?
The system didn't answer.
Xie Yanyu remains calm most of the time. Even when things are unexpected, she can still restrain her behavior and appear very calm, continuing to do what she should do.
But right now,
She began to lose focus, a rare occurrence.
She had read the original plot, and her impression of Chen Lang in the original plot was that he was dangerous.
At this moment, she was caught off guard and realized that he might be here, staring at her from behind. It would be fine if he came out and strangled her with the snake's tail, but hiding in the dark without making any sound, making it impossible to guess whether it was him in the fog, and what he was going to do. This unknown was the most terrifying and could give rise to infinite fear.
But Xie Yanyu doesn't like the feeling of being dominated by fear.
She pondered over Chen Lang's matter. The more afraid she was, the more she wanted to peel back the layer of the unknown and take a look.
So she was originally preparing to talk to Helan Wei, but at this time her attention shifted away from Helan Wei and she turned to look behind her.
The poisonous fog has not yet dissipated.
At this moment, the scene in front of my eyes was foggy and I couldn't see the scene ten steps away.
Xie Yanyu didn't hesitate too much and walked directly in the direction of his sight.
*
Xie Yanyu said that she liked him now, but Helan Wei actually didn't quite believe it.
But not believing is one thing;
It was another matter entirely to see her say that she liked him and even kiss him, but then turn her attention away from him and walk towards the male demon.
Even if you don't want to admit it,
But the bloody taste in Helan Wei's throat became even stronger. He couldn't help but feel furious, and his dantian was stabbing with pain.
The binding rope was still in his hand, and he tightened his grip on the rope to pull her back.
But just as I was about to take action,
He lowered his eyes and accidentally saw the back of his hand.
He gripped one end of the rope with such force that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. Even with his expressionless face, one could tell he was furious.
But looking at Xie Yanyu,
She now had her back to him, looking into the mist behind her.
She didn't even glance at him, her attention wasn't on him. She said she liked him, but she couldn't even act properly. The perfunctory smell was almost overflowing. She didn't take him seriously at all, but in just a short while today, he was affected by her and his emotions were up and down. Time and again, he was driven to rage and out of control by her actions and words!
Helan Wei's forehead was throbbing.
He stared at Xie Yanyu grimly, pulling back his sanity that was on the verge of losing control, and finally realized clearly that this was not right. He was furious again and again because she had forgotten the male demon but was trying to remember him, because she didn't look at him, and because she was perfunctory to him.
He suddenly thought of young children, or pets at home.
Children will cry because they don’t get adults’ attention, and pets will bark loudly to attract their owners’ attention.
And his behavior at this time,
What’s the difference between me and these weak and humble things?
It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head.
The rage in his heart was extinguished, and Helan Wei stared at his hands, feeling ridiculous.
He was so emotionally affected by her that he repeatedly allowed himself to lose control, revealing a strange and crazy look. He was degrading himself and letting himself fall from the clouds, becoming an ant equal to her, or even controlled by her.
How could he be manipulated by her to this extent?
It has always been others who have been servile to him and worried because of his words. He should be the one controlling the situation. He should watch others go crazy and worried with a cold eye and act as if it is none of his business, instead of allowing himself to show such an out-of-control attitude.
Helan Wei's anger completely cooled down.
He looked at her back and slowly loosened his hand——
She could think of the male demon whenever she wanted to, and look wherever she wanted to. He was the superior one and did not need to crave her gaze.
He threw the ropes that bound her to the ground.
*
Xie Yanyu was walking towards Chen Lang.
The fog was thick, her cultivation was not high, and her five senses were not sharp enough, so she could not see the road ahead clearly, so she moved very slowly.
But Shen Lang's cultivation was very high, and his five senses were sharp. He saw her walking towards him step by step, as if every step was stepping on his heart.
He was very weak now, his legs had returned to the shape of a snake's tail, and he leaned against the tree without the strength to move.
His snake tail could move, and he wanted to wrap it around her waist and drag her over.
But he held back.
In her previous life, she had disliked his snake tail and felt afraid of it. In her new life, he was also worried that she would be afraid of his tail. He longed for her to come over, but was also afraid of scaring her. He suddenly hated himself. Why did he fight with Helan Wei just now? Now he didn't have the strength to move and couldn't immediately walk over to appear in front of her.
He couldn't go over and could only wait anxiously for her to come over.
While silently counting how many steps it took her to reach him, he was thinking about how to hide his snake tail and make himself look like a weak and injured human leaning against a tree.
However, when he was still a dozen steps away from reaching him,
Xie Yanyu stopped.
From a distance, she seemed to be able to see the outline of a human figure in the mist.
But at this moment, she heard the system, which had been silent for a long time, speak:
[Don't go any further. That's not Shen Lang in front of you, but another snake demon. You just completed the plot point with Shen Lang because, as a demon lord, Shen Lang's divine sense covers the entire demon world. Therefore, everything that happens in the demon world cannot escape his eyes. Your kiss with Helan Wei was naturally within the range of his divine sense. But he might not notice what you did. After all, the demon lord is very busy. If he had to check every little thing, he would be dead.]
This explanation is quite reasonable, and there is no loophole to be found.
Xie Yanyu had no reason not to believe it, but she really didn't believe it. She had struggled all the way, and in order to survive, her perception of things had become very sharp. This sharpness was almost engraved in her bones and blood, becoming her instinct and intuition.
Just as she could sense the sight in the fog, she could also more or less sense whether a word was sincere or not.
Just like when the system said that she could become an immortal by following the plot, she could tell that it was about 70% to 80% true, so she chose to follow the plot. Her life had long been stuck in the mud, and no matter how bad it was, it couldn't get any worse. The opportunity was right in front of her, and if she still hesitated and didn't dare to seize it, she would have to rot in the mud for the rest of her life.
But now, she could also tell that the system's words were not sincere and not entirely true.
From the moment she asked about what happened in the cave, the system began to hesitate and speak half-truths.
She felt that it was hiding something, but she had too little information to analyze its intentions.
Xie Yanyu silently pondered whether to continue forward. However, at this moment, she heard the sound of Helan Wei leaving. She realized belatedly that he had loosened the immortal rope. The person in front might be Shen Lang, or not, and the system's words were half true and half false.
If she continues to move forward, there will be a lot of uncertainty.
Even if it was really Shen Lang in front, she could probably be strangled to death with the snake's tail.
If you turn around and follow Helan Wei at this time and get closer to him, it is certain that the plot will be advanced.
Xie Yanyu quickly weighed the pros and cons.
Although she wanted to explore what was in the fog ahead, she was more afraid of missing Helan Wei's plot point.
So she picked up the scales on the ground, prepared to take them back for research, then turned around quickly and caught up with Helan Wei.
*
When Helan Wei heard the sound of her chasing him, he subconsciously paused, but the next second, he continued walking forward as if nothing had happened, without even looking back at her.
Xie Yanyu followed behind,
She looked at him and found that he seemed to have changed his state again.
He was on the verge of madness and rage just now, but now he seemed to be normal again. To say he was normal was not quite right, because when he was normal, he was gentle and relaxed, but now he had a coldness that kept people at a distance.
Xie Yanyu had just gotten a little closer to him, and was hoping to keep it that way and have more intimacy between them.
At this time,
She pretended not to notice his abnormality and asked, "Why did you leave, young master?"
As soon as these words fell.
Helan Wei suddenly stopped.
He looked at her. Her face still had that gentle expression, without any emotion.
He seemed to be sulking with anger, but he acted calm and unconcerned. He forced himself to regain his usual gentle and casual demeanor and asked her slowly, "You mean, you want me to wait for you?"
His attitude changes from time to time.
But Xie Yanyu probably guessed his thoughts at this time. He didn't want to see his plaything ignore him, so he was unwilling and unhappy, so she didn't feel confused. She said gently: "I don't want you to wait for me, I want to follow you."
Helan Wei looked at her for a long moment and said indifferently, "Really? Why are you following me?"
Xie Yanyu said, "I like you, sir, and I want to serve you."
[Helan Wei's plot progress increased by 1%, and the current Helan Wei plot line progress is 13%]
Xie Yanyu is a man of courage, but he wants to live a good life and be a superior person.
She was actually not very patient and did not like to explain the same sentence over and over again, but she could endure it. As long as she was not pushed into a dead end again and again, she could endure it. Especially now, saying that she liked Helan Wei could advance the plot a little, so she could endure it no matter how impatient she was.
On the other side,
Helan Wei heard her words and smiled nonchalantly: "I forgot to tell you just now. You like me, but I don't like you."
Xie Yanyu said, "Hmm."
She tactfully pointed out her purpose: "Then can I follow you? I was avoiding you before because I saw that you used the communication talisman to cancel our friendship. I didn't really want to avoid you. If you are willing, I will follow you and serve you."
Reborn,
It was the first time Helan Wei heard her say these words.
Now she seemed to like him a little. He ignored her, but she rushed to stick to him and explain to him.
In the past, Helan Wei would have believed her words.
But now he couldn't help but doubt her purpose. He didn't want to believe it, but seeing her like this, he felt an irresistible sense of pleasure. This pleasure tugged at his nerves, forcing him to sink into the quagmire again, as if a voice was telling him to believe her. After all, what good would it be for her to lie to him?
Belief and disbelief are in a mad tug of war.
The forced gentleness and casualness on his face turned cold, and he stared at her with a twisted look. After a long while, he said word by word, "I don't want to."
Xie Yanyu didn't expect him to answer like this.
She couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn't have asked him if he was willing to let her follow him.
But since he had said so, it would not be appropriate for her to follow him, so she could only nod and bow: "Okay, since you don't want to, I will take my leave now."
It's not that she has run out of patience and doesn't want to keep following.
She knew he was unbalanced, but she couldn't quite grasp his thoughts. She wasn't sure if he was truly annoyed. In this situation, even forcing her to follow him might backfire. She'd better take it slow and find the right time to appear before him.
Thinking this, Xie Yanyu left in another direction.
But before I took a few steps, I suddenly felt a strong pulling force on my wrist.
It's the Immortal Binding Rope.
The next second,
She was dragged directly back to Helan Wei.
He stumbled two steps.
She steadied herself and looked up at him, only to see that his gentle and casual demeanor had disappeared.
His chest was heaving, and he looked a bit like he did when he was crazy just now, as if he was suddenly abnormal and about to lose control again.
Or perhaps to be more precise, he had never been normal, capricious, pulling at himself, sometimes forcibly rebuilding the string of reason, and the next second indulging himself in severing it. He couldn't stand her false docility, nor could he stand her true perfunctory attitude. His eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and he leaned over to her: "I told you to leave, and you left?"
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu knew he was going crazy again, and she was not very patient, so she said perfunctorily: "If you tell me to leave, I will leave. You see how much I like you."
Helan Wei was almost resentful.
He stared at her for a long time, then pulled her into his arms. Suddenly, he leaned over and bit her lips hard. He said in a harsh tone, "You're full of lies."
This is a kiss with a faint smell of blood,
He looked at her with his eyes open from beginning to end, staring at her, holding her from beginning to end, pulling the immortal rope, and wrapping his arms around her waist, as if even if the world was about to be destroyed at this moment, he would still hold her, let her die with him, let her body be twisted and entangled with his, until her body was stiff and inseparable.
It was she who took the initiative to show up under his nose again and again, it was she who entangled him time and time again, there was no way to part ways amicably, no way to cut off all ties, it was she who insisted on fooling him, saying that she loved him in such a perfunctory attitude. Since this is the case, he will let her know the consequences. Even if she really drags him from the clouds into the mud, he will drag her down to rot in the mud together. No one will have an easy life.
He said sinisterly beside her lips: "Okay, since you said you like me, I must give you a chance to prove it."
Xie Yanyu wanted to speak.
However, Helan Wei held her jaw tightly and kissed her even harder, making it impossible for her to say the rest of the words. The tone of the words that came out of her throat changed.
Physiological tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, a mixture of pleasure and pain.
She heard the danger and madness in his bones growing wildly, like vines breaking through the soil, breaking through his gentle and calm mask, and said resentfully in her ear:
"Then prove to me that you like me,
"If I find out you're lying to me, I'll cut out your tongue, drain your blood, chop off your limbs, and turn you into a puppet so you can never tell a lie again."
*
That side.
Chen Lang coiled his tail around the tree behind him, and then fiddled with his robe to cover it up, finally hiding it.
However, when he looked up again, he saw Xie Yanyu turned around and left.
It's only a few steps away.
But she turned around and chased Helan Wei.
If Helan Wei hadn't left, she wouldn't have turned around to chase him.
If you want to leave, just leave quietly and make some noise to let her know. Isn't that playing hard to get?
The anticipation and tenderness in Shen Lang's eyes turned cold in an instant. He almost gritted his teeth as he stared at the fog in front of him. He covered the area with his spiritual sense and kept observing Xie Yanyu's movements.
Then,
He discovered that Xie Yanyu had picked up his heart-protecting scale.
While he resented Helan Wei, he also felt sweet—
She picked up his scales. She must like his scales. He covered his chest with his hands, and his heart was still aching. He looked at her in his sea of consciousness and saw his scales being held in her palm. He couldn't help but feel jealous of his scales. Why couldn't he turn into a scale and be picked up by her?
He fiercely peeled off the scales on his tail,
Then,
As if he remembered something, he forced himself to use his spiritual power.
His spiritual awareness only covered the demon world. After she left the demon world, he could no longer see her. He couldn't accept this. He had to see her to feel at ease. He was injured and his soul was weak. He should have been recuperating, but he still held on and began to try to strip away his soul.
The body can't bear it,
He began to vomit blood, and while vomiting blood, he forced his soul to be peeled out a little bit.
Then he controlled that bit of soul, floated to her side, and attached it to his heart-protecting scale.
He felt the warmth of her palm.
A feeling of satisfaction came over him, making his scalp tingle. Even the pain of his soul being torn away seemed to disappear at this moment, leaving only an overflowing sense of happiness and pleasure.
He attached a part of his soul to the scales, so as long as the scales were by her side, he could watch her all the time.
He will keep looking at her.
Until he recovered from his injuries, could hide his snake tail, and appear in front of her.
