Chapter 54 He can do anything but leave her
Xie Yanyu was originally going to answer questions about marriage,
But when she suddenly saw him vomiting blood, she was shocked and didn't know whether to speak for a moment. She could only observe him quietly, and then she found that his hand was dripping with blood again.
This time, I was standing close, so I could clearly see that there was a cut on his scarred palm. Blood was oozing out of the wound and dripping down his slender, strong hand.
Xie Yanyu asked the system: Were those wounds on his palms cut by himself?
System: [Yes, he was poisoned before, and the residual poison hasn't cleared up yet. He has attacks every two weeks or so, so he needs your blood. He can't have strong emotional fluctuations, otherwise the residual poison will be affected. Therefore, he often wears a soft sword in his sleeve, and when he feels emotional, he cuts his palm to suppress it.]
It was a little curious: [This is what was written in the original plot. You've watched it so many times, and you don't know this? ]
Xie Yanyu: Yes.
Every time she looked through the plot, she only read her own part and not others.
system:【……】
The system saw her standing still. After a moment, it said, "Why don't you go bandage him?"
Xie Yanyu: He cut his hand himself, why should he need me to bandage it?
System: [...Look at him.]
Perhaps because the emotion was a bit intense, he couldn't suppress it even after cutting his palm, which triggered the remaining poison in his body. Xie Chengjin seemed to be in great pain. Even though it was not obvious from his expression, his face was paler than usual. He rested his elbows on the table, covered his lips with his hands, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes drooped, and his chest heaved.
He seemed to be in so much pain that he couldn't move anything else and was trying to ease the pain.
The system said: [The remaining poison in his body has been affected. It's not yet at the level of being attacked every two weeks, but if the poison has been affected, it will be very sensitive to the smell of blood. He will feel better if he smells your blood, but if he smells the blood of others besides you, including his own, his condition will worsen.]
The system said quietly, "The cut on his hand is too big, the bleeding won't stop. If you smell the blood, it won't be long before it develops into a backlash. At that point, it will be your turn to cut your wrist and feed him blood. Do you want to bleed him now, wait a couple of days for the remaining poison to backfire, and then bleed him again?"
It felt like it was being a bit nagging: [Although losing blood twice can advance the plot twice, it's quite damaging to your body. Even if you're a Jindan-stage cultivator, you won't be able to withstand it.]
Xie Yanyu pondered for a moment.
She knew that cutting her arm and bleeding was an equal exchange, so she could cut her arm without hesitation every time she bled. But why do this more than once if she could do it less often?
As for advancing the plot...
She is now becoming more and more proficient in controlling the plot, and she even has a vague idea about how to advance the plot. If this idea is feasible, perhaps she can do less of the things she doesn't want to do when advancing the plot in the future, such as bleeding.
But she didn't plan to mention this to the system.
She glanced at Xie Chengjin, then walked over to him and prepared to bandage him.
*
Xie Chengjin knew that when the remaining poison in his body was aroused, he could not smell the smell of blood.
However, he had never been unable to control his emotions before.
Whenever he cut his palm and felt the sharp pain, he instinctively suppressed all emotion, even if it meant bleeding. This was the first time he'd lost control of his emotions, triggering the remaining poison in his body. While not as painful as the biweekly backlash, it still left him completely exhausted.
He sat quietly, trying to calm down.
However, the wound on my palm is still bleeding.
He could smell a faint smell of blood, which made him feel even more painful, as if someone was holding a knife and using the blade to crush his spiritual veins inch by inch, making it difficult for him to even move.
He even felt that he was a little out of his mind because he was thinking about Xie Yanyu at this time.
Perhaps it was his body's instinct that made him think of the smell of her blood.
He closed his eyes, trying to block out his thoughts, but she was in the room, and he instinctively paid attention to her movements. All his senses were amplified. He heard her approaching and smelled the faint scent of medicine on her.
Then he felt her grab his wrist.
Even the touch of her fingertips was magnified. He opened his eyes again and said hoarsely, "What?"
Xie Yanyu said, "I'll help bandage my brother's wound."
Xie Chengjin's eyes fell on the white silk covering her eyes: "You can see it."
After all, he had already made it clear about her and Helan Wei's affairs, and Xie Yanyu didn't want to bother hiding it from him anymore.
She took out the gauze from the mustard seed bag and said, "Well, actually, I went to see Helan Wei several times. I kept it a secret from my brother before, but he should have known it, and there was no point in hiding it from you. He first taught me how to draw the Mingxin Talisman, and then gave me another Mingxin Talisman."
She grabbed his hand and said a long string of words while cleaning his wound.
Xie Chengjin's temples jumped up and he pulled his hand out.
However, he didn't have much strength, and just as he pulled it out a little, she grabbed it again.
She laced her fingers between his, interlocked theirs, grasped his hand tightly, and then pressed the ointment-soaked gauze hard into his wound. Holding a grudge, she imitated the force he had used to apply the ointment to her ankle last time, rubbing the ointment onto his curled skin bit by bit.
But Xie Chengjin had been tortured to the point of numbness by the remaining poison.
He could not feel the pain, but could only feel the touch of her fingers between their fingers. Their thin skin pressed together, and he seemed to be able to feel the vibration of each other's tiny blood vessels under the skin. He waited for a while, and she did not speak again. He had just asked her if she was willing to marry Helan Wei, and she said a lot of other things, but she did not give an accurate answer to this matter, as if she had tacitly agreed.
After a while,
He asked again: "So you want to marry Helan Wei, right?"
Xie Yanyu was treating his wounds and was stunned when he heard this: "Huh?"
Still no answer.
Such a simple question, yet it remains unresolved.
Xie Chengjin felt a surge of negativity, stirring up the remaining poison and causing a sharp pain in his heart. He closed his fingers, tightly gripping hers. He lowered his eyes for a moment, then suddenly said to her in a cold voice, "Although you may be attracted to him, do you know how the Helan family elders will treat you after you marry him?"
Xie Yanyu said, "I don't want to marry him. I don't like him."
As soon as these words fell,
Xie Chengjin paused, loosening his grip on her fingers a little: "Really?"
He said calmly, "Then why did you follow me to the demon world to be sealed?"
"Brother, do you remember when I went to the pawnshop this morning to redeem the jade pendant? The shopkeeper said someone had bought it for a high price. I used the tracking technique to find it and found it on the side of the demon world seal. Twenty miles west, among the lotus leaves, is the demon world seal."
Xie Chengjin looked at her coldly.
He seemed to have a sense of distrust towards her.
Hearing this answer, he wanted to dig up all the old accounts that he had not held against her before, asking her to explain them one by one, and asking her what about the things she had done before, such as giving Helan Wei the love Gu and following her to the Yuan Mansion. Weren't these things done because she loved him?
But what could she say in response?
Xie Chengjin realized that he might not want to hear her answer.
So the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't ask. He was a little annoyed, but he couldn't tell the source of this emotion, so he just looked away and stopped looking at her.
Xie Yanyu cleaned the blood off his hands and wrapped his palm with gauze.
That's it, the bandaging is complete.
Then she asked, "Brother, are you asking this all of a sudden because you want to help me find a marriage?"
She didn't want to marry Helan Wei,
But it would be great if Xie Chengjin could help her find a marriage.
She was also worried that if she met Li Xun too early, some unexpected changes would arise, causing Li Xun to deny his marriage to her. Although she would not marry Li Xun in the end, she had to get engaged to him. If Xie Chengjin wanted to help her find a marriage, then let Xie Chengjin help her find a husband for Li Xun.
The Xie family has a good family background and no grudges against the Tianjian Sect. If Xie Chengjin is willing, it won't be difficult for him to help her get engaged to Li Xun.
She thought to herself,
He started to think about how to talk to Xie Chengjin about Li Xun.
However, Xie Chengjin did not give her the chance to continue speaking.
He didn't answer her at all, ignoring her question, and said, "Get out. I'll take you there tomorrow."
Xie Yanyu: "..."
After hearing what he said, Xie Yanyu had no choice but to swallow his words and plan to bring it up to him next time when he finds a suitable opportunity.
Fortunately, she didn't want to stay with him for too long, so when he asked her to leave, she said goodbye directly. However, when she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something and looked back at him.
He had closed his eyes, leaning against the back of the chair, with his head slightly tilted back, looking exhausted. His posture seemed a bit weak and lazy, not at all like his usual dignified and self-possessed self. He must have really no strength.
His face was also very pale, and there was a little wet blood between his lips.
The five senses of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage are extremely sharp. Can he still smell blood?
Xie Yanyu looked at the bloodstain and walked back.
Xie Chengjin heard the voice and opened his eyes again, and saw her standing in front of him looking down at him.
His eyelashes trembled, and he was about to ask her what she was going to do, but the next second, he saw her bending down and moving closer to him. The faint smell of medicine filled the air, and then her cold fingertips landed on his lips, wiping away the blood from his lips with a light touch.
*
at night.
After Xie Chengjin fell asleep, he had another dream.
He dreamed of Xie Yanyu again. He had been dreaming of her frequently recently, all kinds of dreams, all kinds of perspectives. He dreamed of her behavior, her thoughts, and some fragmentary scenes that had never happened. He had gotten used to it.
But I don't know if it's because of what happened today.
This time, he dreamed that she was holding his hand, their fingers entangled tightly, leaving pale red finger marks on her pale skin, and even the small mole on her collarbone was like it had been rubbed repeatedly and forcefully by her fingers, leaving a circle of red marks.
Dreaming of the feeling of a dragonfly skimming the water between my lips,
The wind chimes on the edge of the bed were shaking and making a small sound.
Then she raised her head and called him brother in a somewhat discordant voice.
Xie Chengjin suddenly woke up.
*
After waking up, Xie Chengjin couldn't fall asleep again.
For some reason, he remembered Helan Wei's previous sarcastic remarks to him.
Finally, he stood up with an expressionless face and continued to deal with his affairs.
However, a moment later he thought of Xie Yanyu again, and he suddenly felt irritated and annoyed. He forced himself to focus on the files he was going to deal with, but the next second, when he turned to the files related to the seal of the demon world, he thought again that he would take Xie Yanyu to the demon world to seal it tomorrow.
The irritability suddenly reached its peak.
He suddenly felt a strong resistance. He didn't want to remember her name, nor did he want to think about her or see her. He pressed the wound on his palm hard, and then felt a sharp pain. His body's instinct pulled his mind back for a moment.
But then,
He looked at the gauze in his palm and remembered that it was she who bandaged the wound.
Xie Chengjin had a gloomy face.
After a long while, he suddenly took out a communication talisman and sent a message to the Xie family's steward: [Find a servant here.]
Tomorrow we will go to the demon world to seal it.
He and Helan Wei rode in the same carriage, and asked the attendant and Xie Yanyu to ride in the same carriage to look after her.
The steward quickly replied: [What kind of attendant do you want, sir? One with better skills?]
Xie Chengjin: [Yes.]
The manager asked again: "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
Xie Chengjin moved his fingers slightly and edited the word "female" on the communication talisman. However, before he could send it out, Helan Wei's previous words popped up again like a curse, flashing through his mind over and over again, saying that he treated her as his husband, kept a close eye on her, and did not allow her to talk to men.
After a while,
He then erased the word "female" that he had previously edited.
Not sure what he was trying to prove, but he sent a message to the manager: [Whatever.]
*
The other side.
Shen Lang watched Xie Yanyu in the dark, and knowing that she was going to seal the demon world tomorrow morning, he sent her a message, asking if he could follow her.
But Xie Yanyu refused: [No.]
She refused flatly.
Chen Lang was very dissatisfied with her answer. His gaze lingered on her, his amber eyes filled with obsessive fascination, as if he wanted to bite her into pieces and swallow her into his stomach so that they could go anywhere together. However, he still replied with his hand: [As you say.]
But how could he listen to her?
Could he leave her for a short while, a quarter of an hour, or a cup of tea?
If time went on any longer, he would become extremely anxious. He was worried that he would never find her again, worried that she would want to do something but no one would help her, worried that no one would kneel down and give her what she wanted, and worried that some shameless man out there would seduce her.
Chen Lang wanted to watch her and follow her, he could not appear in front of her, or even let her know of his existence, even if he saw those despicable men seducing her with his own eyes, as long as she didn't want him to appear, he could endure not making any noise, he could do anything, but he couldn't leave her, couldn't lose sight of her.
He hid in the dark and watched her greedily.
Only after she fell asleep did he reluctantly look away, tiptoe out of the room, and then find a way to get into Xie Chengjin's room.
He wanted to follow Xie Yanyu to the demon world to seal it, but the demon-killing formation outside the seal was indeed annoying. Although his cultivation was high enough to avoid it, without a diagram of the formation layout, he would definitely reveal some traces and let her notice it.
The formation layout diagram is in Xie Chengjin's hand, and he wants to take a look.
However, when he just entered Xie Chengjin's room, he found that Xie Chengjin had woken up. Fortunately, he and Xie Chengjin had the same cultivation level, so he just sneaked in and did nothing else, so Xie Chengjin could not find him. He saw Xie Chengjin holding a communication talisman and sending a message to the manager of the Xie family, asking him to find a servant to come and take care of Xie Yanyu, either man or woman.
Then why can't he?
He could even do better than those servants and take better care of her.
In the past, Chen Lang despised mortals as lowly and never wanted to pretend to be one, let alone a servant who had to be humble and look at other people's expressions. But now, he smiled gently.
Now that I have the opportunity to appear beside her openly,
So what does it matter if I disguise myself as a mortal servant?
