Chapter 50: Tormented Him Half to Death
Xie Yanyu needed to meet Li Xun, and originally planned to choose a roundabout way, but seeing that he was suddenly ill, and thinking of the original plot, he sent a message to the monster in a hurry, and prepared to let the monster pass on the message, directly stating that he had promised to get engaged that year.
But after sending the message, she felt a little regretful and said to the system in her heart: I still feel it's quite strange.
System: [What's strange?]
Xie Yanyu: Li Xun is weird.
She knew Li Xun hated her.
After all, it was she who stole his magic weapon, which led to the demons severing all his spiritual veins and chopping off a finger. It would be unreasonable for him not to hate her.
But if a normal person met her again after many years, he would definitely want to catch her and kill her directly. A more cruel person would take her back and torture her slowly, and even cut off one of her fingers to vent his hatred.
But she never dreamed that—
In the original plot, Li Xun's way of revenge on her was to get engaged to her.
First he got engaged to her, then he exposed her affair with Helan Wei, causing a huge uproar in the city, and then he broke off the engagement.
This is indeed a way to torture someone, lifting her up high and then dropping her hard.
But who in their right mind could come up with such a way to take revenge on someone?
After much thought, she still felt that the reason why Li Xun chose to use engagement to retaliate against her in the original plot was probably because in the original plot, when she and Li Xun recognized each other, she expressed her desire to climb up the social ladder, which she thought was very important, so he retaliated against her with something she thought was important.
But now she knows the plot in advance.
She even brought forward the time for her meeting with Li Xun. At this time, some things that should have happened in the original plot had not happened yet. If she revealed her identity to Li Xun now, Li Xun might not fulfill his engagement with her. If she asked the monster to help her pass on the message that he had promised to marry her, it might have the opposite effect.
Thinking of this, she pinched the communication talisman again, ready to send a message to the monster: [Forget it.]
However, I was editing the message and hadn't sent it out yet.
The next second, she realized that Li Xun was not in good condition. She first heard him cough twice, and then saw that he seemed to have lost all strength and could no longer maintain his previous sitting position, and fell forward.
Xie Yanyu was right in front of him.
When he fell like this, she didn't have time to hide, and he collapsed on her with a thud.
This was a face-to-face position, both of them were sitting cross-legged. Li Xun's upper body collapsed and bent down, his head resting on her shoulder. His lips moved slightly, as if he was saying something.
This is quite sudden.
Xie Yanyu had to stop sending a message to the monster.
She could feel his warm breath on her shoulder, so she leaned forward slightly to listen to what he was saying.
Then she heard him praising her with gritted teeth: "You are really good."
He cursed with a weak breath: "What kind of blind man is this who is specifically trying to jinx me? Just staying with you will kill me."
Xie Yanyu thought to himself, isn’t that right?
Seeing you like this, I also think I can do it.
She had never thought in her life that there would be a day like this where she wouldn't have to do anything, just sit here and torture others like this.
She felt a twisted sense of pleasure.
Then,
She felt that Li Xun had calmed down.
She raised her hand and pressed it on him, sensing it, only to find that he had been tortured very weak by the spiritual power running around in his dantian. He had been sitting opposite her with his back straight and threatening her with a fierce tone to die together, but it was all an act of forcing himself.
In fact, I almost fainted at that time.
Now he just fainted.
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu couldn't help but sneered.
However, as soon as the voice came out, he found that Li Xun was not even able to faint properly. A little blood flowed from the corner of his lips, and his spiritual power surged again, as if he was about to explode and die at any time.
Xie Yanyu didn't expect that even though he had fainted, he could still react when he heard her voice.
She didn't want to die with him for the time being, so she was stunned for a moment and then quietly shut up.
Then she asked the system in her mind: What should I do? Forget about the plot, the moment he comes into contact with me, he will almost die.
The system was silent for a while.
After a while, it said: [Is the engagement token he gave you still there?]
Xie Yanyu asked: That jade pendant?
The engagement token that Li Xun gave her was an ink-colored jade pendant.
System: [Yes. That jade pendant is indeed a treasure, the only one of its kind in the world. It has the power to calm all the chaotic spiritual energy around it. If you wear it and come into contact with Li Xun, even if his spiritual energy is surging, it will be forcibly calmed by the power of the jade pendant.]
It said: [This is the only way.]
Xie Yanyu:.
She had already pawned the jade pendant.
When she came to Tiandu, her travel money was stolen before she even entered the city. She put this jade pendant in her clothes and luckily escaped the disaster. When she had no money left, she pawned the jade pendant for money.
She was quiet for a moment, recalling where she had pawned the jade pendant.
But at this moment, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the inn.
Xie Yanyu recognized that it was the sound of the Xie Mansion's carriage.
It should be Xie Chengjin and Helan Wei who have returned from the seal.
She paused, and saw Li Xun lying on her shoulder. She had no time to think about the jade pendant anymore. She stood up and picked up Li Xun.
Li Xun is much taller than her.
In the past, she wouldn't have been able to lift him up, but now she has reached the Golden Core stage and her strength has greatly improved.
She managed to lift him up with difficulty, then dragged him to the window, ready to throw him out.
She was afraid of kicking him out of the door, and Xie Chengjin came back just in time. Xie Chengjin caught her red-handed and threw her out of the window. This was the second floor, so he wouldn't die from the fall. She could also use some spiritual power to help him land.
But when she was about to throw the person out, she felt unwilling.
After going through so much trouble, I got the jade token and met the person, but the plot didn't progress at all.
She thought for a moment, then saw the Tianjian Sect token on his waist, so she took it off again, and then threw him down with force.
In the original plot,
After she and Li Xun recognized each other, Li Xun left the token he carried with him to her, saying that as long as she had the token, she could sense his location at any time.
Although she has not recognized Li Xun yet, taking his token can advance the plot a little. After all, the time order is not important for completing the plot points, and it does not matter whether he gave her the token or not. As long as she gets the token, the plot is completed.
Xie Yanyu is already very skilled at this.
The system looked at her skillful posture, hesitant to speak.
It was silent for a long time.
Then the report was broadcast: [Li Xun's plot progress increased by 2%, current progress is 2%.]
As it was broadcasting, I couldn't help but think, although the plot point was completed, how could the plot be distorted like this?
Originally, the two were supposed to recognize each other, and then Li Xun gave her a token and promised to marry her; now it turned out that Li Xun was tortured half to death, his token was stolen, and then he was thrown out of the window.
...It's quite thrilling.

The other side.
Chen Lang crushed the communication talisman, and his palm was pierced by the jade talisman fragments, and was stained with blood.
He stared at the bloodstain on his palm for a long time, then picked up the fragments of the communication talisman one by one, pieced them together, and finally used a spell to restore the communication talisman to its original state.
Then he looked at the communication talisman quietly.
Of course he would meet all of Xie Yanyu's requirements.
She just wanted to pass on a message and tell Li Xun her identity. What was she doing wrong? The one who was wrong was Li Xun. Why did this bitch have to live in this world?
It would be better if he just killed Li Xun.
Chen Lang wiped the blood off his fingers, then smiled softly and prepared to reply to Xie Yanyu: [Okay.]
However, at this time,
He suddenly heard a noise, like something falling from the stairs, and then received a message from Xie Yanyu.
She said: [Forget it, let’s not talk to him about the engagement for now.]
She then said, "I threw him downstairs. Can you pick him up? Just return him to where you got him from."
Thrown down the stairs.
The noise he heard just now was the sound of Xie Yanyu throwing Li Xun down the stairs.
Chen Lang paused, then smiled while pinching the communication talisman, and replied softly: [Baby, do you hate him? Why did you throw him from such a high place?]
I don't know what happened,
It was clearly a very normal sentence, but Xie Yanyu always felt that there seemed to be a vague expectation between the lines, but it was very cautious. Even if he was sensitive to it, it would feel like an illusion.
She held the communication talisman in her hand, did not respond to him, and looked towards the window.
Shen Lang's figure appeared under the window.
He found Li Xun in the flowers downstairs, bent down expressionlessly, and gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, intending to kill the other person directly.
However, at this time,
He received another message from Xie Yanyu: [Are you going to kill him?]
Her tone between the lines was not very good.
Chen Lang paused for a moment, then withdrew his killing move after a long pause. He restrainedly closed his fingertips and replied with lowered eyes: [No.]
His eyes were filled with tears. After a moment of silence, he carefully explained: "Just now I just wanted to sense his breath and confirm that he was still alive."
*
Xie Yanyu looked down from the window just now, but couldn't see the front of the monster clearly. He could only see a vague figure among the flowers and leaves.
Before she could get a closer look, she heard footsteps in the corridor outside.
She recognized the footsteps as Xie Chengjin's, so she had no choice but to close the window and send another message to the monster: [Don't kill him, he must live.]
She planned to redeem the engagement jade pendant first, and then contact Li Xun.
According to the schedule, Xie Chengjin and Helan Wei have already finished reading the seal, and they will probably set off to return to Xie Mansion after a short rest. Fortunately, the jade token is still in her hand, and she even has Li Xun's token, so she can know his location, so she doesn't have to worry about not having the chance to meet him later.
After she sent the message, she prepared to put the communication talisman away without caring about the monster's reaction.
But before I put it away,
Received another message from Helan Wei: [Come find me.]
Helan Wei had previously unilaterally terminated his friendship with her, and it was unknown when he restored the friendship.
She was a little surprised when she received the message.
In the past, Helan Wei never took the initiative to send messages to her.
After all, in the past, she wanted to climb up to his high branch and show him more courtesy, but to him, these were dispensable.
I don’t know what happened today.
She thought for a moment and decided not to look for him.
She had already remembered where she had pawned the engagement jade pendant. It was in a pawnshop on the outskirts of Tiandu City, not far from here. She planned to redeem the jade pendant before returning to Xie Mansion. If she went to find Helan Wei now, she didn't know how much time she would waste because of his mood swings.
Thinking this, she prepared to go out again.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xie Chengjin standing outside.
He seemed to have been standing outside the door for a while.
But for some reason, he didn't knock on the door or enter the room, and he still looked expressionless and cold.
Seeing her push the door, he lowered his eyelashes and spoke first, his voice flat: "Where are you going?"
