Chapter 45 Touching Her Inch by Inch
Xie Yanyu has been under surveillance by a demon in the Spiritual Transformation Stage.
Ever since she had been in the House of Resentment, this monster had been watching her, watching her all the time, even now, it was still watching her.
Xie Chengjin used his spiritual power to search the room inch by inch and found that the source was Xie Yanyu.
It must be that the monster attached its soul to a certain part of Xie Yanyu's body, so it can keep watching her.
He pinched the communication talisman, his eyes fell back on her, his teeth itching.
He knew she was using him as a pawn, but it was not logical for him to allow a demon to tangle with her. After a long pause, he said coldly, "A demon has possessed you. We must find it and drive it away."
Xie Yanyu is blind.
She didn't know what message that person had sent her. Xie Chengjin didn't read it to her, but she had thought of it just now.
If he could still monitor her, it meant that the problem was not with the Yuan House, but with her.
When she heard Xie Chengjin's words, she didn't feel too surprised. She just thought quietly, wondering when she got involved.
But there was no point dwelling on this question now, so she asked, "How do I find my brother?"
Xie Chengjin looked at her coldly when he heard this.
His Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
Xie Yanyu didn't hear his answer for a long time before she realized that he had never said he would help her find it.
He just said that the spirit of the monster should be found and then driven away. She had a preconceived notion and thought that he would take action. However, if he wanted to take action, he would not have waited until now and not responded to her.
When Xie Yanyu thought of this, she wanted to see Xie Chengjin's expression again, but her eyes were blindfolded and she couldn't see. She could only vaguely feel that he seemed to be looking at her.
He didn't seem to want to help her, so she had to do it herself.
But she really didn't know how to find where the monster's soul was. After thinking for a while, she decided to ask him what to do.
She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything,
The next second,
Suddenly I heard him say, "Come here."
His tone was flat and without any ups and downs, but from the meaning of his words, it seemed as if he was going to help her find it.
Xie Yanyu felt that he was a little puzzling, but at least he was helping her solve the problem, so she nodded and groped her way closer to him.
*
A small part of the monster's soul attached itself to Xie Yanyu.
It was not difficult to find out where the monster's soul was attached. Xie Chengjin only needed to use his spiritual power to search her body bit by bit. Once he touched the place where the monster's soul was, he would be able to sense it.
But because of this, he had to touch her. His hands were filled with spiritual power, and he started searching from the top of her head. His slender fingers landed on the top of her hair. Through her clothes, he could feel the temperature was a little cold, and the force was slightly heavy, like a cold and dangerous blade, as if it was going to cut through her skin and touch her bones.
He went down inch by inch,
Head and neck, spine, tailbone,
He touched her cold hair, slender neck, thin back, and finally her thin waist, but he did not sense the soul of the monster.
His hand therefore paused on her waist.
Her waist was actually very thin, bound by a waist belt, thin and tough, like bamboo, and could be easily measured with the palm of his hand. He did not stay for too long, just a moment, and then his palm passed over her lower back and began to search her side, starting from her waist.
Although Xie Yanyu has broken through the Golden Core Realm, Xie Chengjin's cultivation is at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, which is two realms higher than Xie Yanyu.
There is a suppression of cultivation level between cultivators, but she didn't feel anything when they interacted with each other on a daily basis. But now he was searching her body, in order to find the soul of the monster, the spiritual power he used was somewhat aggressive, and it fell on her along his palm, making her feel some pressure.
The pressure made her face pale, she couldn't breathe, her legs and feet began to weaken, and she felt dizzy and had tinnitus.
Even where his fingers touched, there was a subtle and strange pain.
As he touched her inch by inch, the pain grew inch by inch, like ants gnawing at her bones. The touch was infinitely magnified, and her mind went blank. At first, she could still grit her teeth and hold on, her hands clenched into fists, her whole body tensed like a fully drawn bow.
Until he touched her side,
She could no longer hold on, her knees gave way, and she was about to fall forward.
Xie Chengjin was quick to grab her waist and pull her up.
It's getting closer.
Xie Yanyu felt his warm breath on the side of her neck.
Her body went numb, and she instinctively grabbed his hand to use the force to balance her body.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she found that the temperature of his hand didn't seem as cold as usual, but a little warm. But before she could confirm it, she heard him say in a cold voice: "Stand still."
Xie Yanyu's mind was almost turned into a mess by his pressure, but when he heard his voice, he regained some clarity.
She noticed that his tone was a bit condescending, and she also found her posture a bit awkward.
She suddenly felt a little annoyed, and the stubbornness in her bones emerged again, and she insisted on standing up on her own.
So she loosened her grip on his hand and instead reached for the table next to her, trying to steady herself.
But her legs were still weak and her ankle was sprained. She tried to stand but couldn't stand steadily.
But she didn't say anything and gripped the corner of the table even tighter.
Xie Chengjin stood beside him.
He didn't say anything, but looked at her coldly, his eyes sweeping over her white fingers gripping the corner of the table.
After a while, he suddenly raised his hands, placed them on her waist, and then with a force, he put her down on the table and said, "If you can't stand, sit down."
Xie Yanyu:.
Xie Yanyu became even more annoyed.
But at this moment, she felt that he pressed her waist with one hand, pressing her to sit on the table, and the other hand went up from the side of her waist and continued to search.
She paused, but still suppressed her annoyance.
Business was important, so she raised her hand cooperatively.
His fingertips moved from the side of the waist to the side ribs,
The thin fabric could not stop the body temperature from blending in. His fingertips felt a little hot, and finally moved to her wrist.
He reached his fingers into her sleeve and pulled out a mustard seed bag.
Then he took out a heart-protecting scale from the mustard bag.
*
The other side.
Chen Lang had just woken up after healing his wounds when he saw this scene through the heart-protecting scales. His pretty face was almost distorted.
It was at this moment that he saw Xie Chengjin lower his eyes and glance coldly at the heart-protecting scales, as if looking at him through the scales.
I don't know if this glance was intentional.
Chen Lang stared at the water curtain. The moment his eyes met Xie Chengjin's, he suddenly felt a surge of rage. His blood seemed to be roaring and his blood was surging. Even his eyes were stinging. Bloodshot crept into his gentle amber eyes.
That's when
Xie Chengjin moved his fingers slightly and crushed the heart-protecting scales into powder with an expressionless face.
The image on the water curtain disappeared instantly.
That wisp of soul was also driven away at the same time and returned to his body. Shen Lang suffered the backlash and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His chest heaved as he stared at the water curtain, which no longer had any images. His expression was twisted and resentful, his eyes were swollen and painful, and he even shed a tear of blood.
But after a while,
He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled.
The resentful expression on his face disappeared, and he returned to his usual gentle and pretty appearance, like soft spring water, but half of his face was wet with blood, at the corners of his eyes and lips, which still made him look a little crazy.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his legs.
Just now, he had almost healed his wounds, his cultivation had recovered to a large extent, and he could already retract his snake tail.
He could already go see her like this, it wouldn't scare her and would leave a good impression on her.
He would leave the demon world now and go to her side, never to be separated from her. He would give her whatever she wanted. He would kneel on the ground and give her everything, and then crush those shameless and despicable men into ashes one by one.
Thinking of Xie Yanyu, his eyes softened again.
After a while, he raised his hand and gently wiped the blood off his face with his fingertips.
Then he had an idea and once again used his spiritual power to smash the barrier at the entrance to the demon world.
The seal, which was already somewhat loose, was hit hard at this moment, and was shaken to loosen even more, directly cracking into a tiny crack.
*
at the same time,
The seal of the demon world was suddenly shaken, and several formations around the seal were also affected.
Tiandu was under the jurisdiction of the Xie family, and Xie Chengjin had participated in the arrangement of many of the formations at the seal location. At this moment, he suffered a backlash, and felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.
He coughed muffledly,
He suppressed the bloody taste in his throat expressionlessly.
But even so, his face was still very pale, and the backlash felt like a blunt knife constantly slicing him.
Xie Yanyu couldn't see his expression, but he heard him cough, and was a little confused.
She tilted her head: "Brother."
Xie Chengjin hummed softly.
Having just destroyed the monster's heart-protecting scales, he still had one hand on her waist, pressing her down onto the table to prevent her from falling. When he responded, his voice was unusually hoarse, and veins on his forehead were noticeable, perhaps because he was suppressing the backlash in his body. "What's wrong?"
Xie Yanyu heard something strange in his voice.
She thought of his muffled cough just now and had some guesses in her mind. Maybe he had just fought with the monster and was injured.
But she didn't care much about this, so she didn't plan to express her concern for him.
She felt his palm pressing on her waist, neither too light nor too heavy. Although he was no longer using spiritual power in his palm, the sensation there was still infinitely magnified. She seemed to be able to feel the heart beating and pumping blood in his palm, subtle, one by one, against her skin through her clothes.
This feeling is very strange,
Her back tensed, and she asked uncomfortably, "Have you destroyed the object possessed by the demon's spirit?"
Meaning,
If it's already destroyed and everything is done, you can let go.
But she always spoke in a measured way, a bit roundabout, and rarely expressed her needs directly.
Xie Chengjin didn't answer her immediately.
He glanced at her, his eyes passing over her dazzlingly white collarbone, and suddenly he saw the small mole on it. Her skin was as pale as rice paper, and the small mole on it looked like a drop of ink accidentally dropped on the rice paper. It was a bit annoying, making people feel a little irritated, and he wanted to rub it off with his fingertips.
After a while,
He raised his hand, his fingertips resting on her collarbone.
However, he simply pinched her collar with his fingers and pulled it up for her, his knuckles turning white as he spoke in a restrained tone, "It's indecent. Put it on."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu asked a normal question, but was inexplicably scolded by him, which made him feel baffled.
She raised her hand again, pressed her fingertips on the collar, and found that the collar was just a little loose, not very messy.
In other words, Xie Chengjin is very law-abiding and meticulous in everything, so he couldn't tolerate even this little bit of laxity.
She thought he was being too nosy, but she still tugged at his collar again and said, "Since my brother noticed that my collar was loose, I guess you've already dealt with the thing that possessed the demon."
Xie Chengjin heard that she was a bit sarcastic.
He didn't deny it, but just loosened his hand on her waist and said lightly: "It's a heart-protecting scale."
Xie Yanyu suddenly remembered when he heard this.
When she was in the demon world, she picked up a heart-protecting scale, but she didn't know whether it was from a snake or a fish.
I originally picked it up to see if it could help me remember what happened in the cave that day, but after I came back I put it in the mustard seed bag and forgot about it.
Now, bringing up this matter,
Her mind became active again and she tried to recall what happened in the cave, but the memory was too vague. No matter how she tried to recall it, it was all blank, without even the slightest detail. Now that her heart-protecting scales were destroyed, it was difficult to verify the matter.
*
After the body search,
Xie Chengjin sat at the table again and began to flip through the book.
Xie Yanyu felt that he had no intention of leaving and knew that he was deliberately staring at her, so she did not mention the matter of him leaving. This man had too strong a desire for control and it would be useless to mention it. Instead, he would become suspicious and think that she was doing something to get rid of him.
She didn't mention letting him go.
Anyway, when he has something to do, he will leave on his own. It's not like she can't afford to waste that time.
Thinking of this, she sat quietly on the couch and began to waste time with him. However, at this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a carriage coming from outside the house.
As the carriage was moving, the gold and jade hanging from the eaves collided with each other, so the sound of horse hooves and wheels was mixed with the crisp sound of jade.
Xie Yanyu couldn't see, so his hearing was amplified.
She heard that the carriage stopped downstairs of the inn, and then someone got off the carriage, walked into the inn with a servant, went upstairs, and seemed to be walking towards her room.
Then, she felt the jade token in her sleeve begin to vibrate.
In an instant,
She suddenly realized——
Li Xun is here.
He brought his men, sensing the direction of the jade token, and was walking towards her.
But now Xie Chengjin was in the room, sitting quietly at the table, staring at her.
