Chapter 63: Why are you forcing me to marry you when you are engaged to me?
When Helan Wei reached the small garden,
Then I saw Xie Yanyu and Li Xun in a pavilion.
This pavilion is somewhat hidden, located at the edge of the garden. There are many flowering trees planted outside the pavilion, and their lush branches and leaves block the view.
Helan Wei walked towards that direction.
But he didn't know what he was thinking about, but when he got closer, he stopped again and looked at them quietly through the branches of the flowering trees in the night.
*
This side.
Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes and looked at Li Xun.
At this moment, she stood in front of the stone table, her attitude somewhat condescending, while Li Xun sat on the stone bench, looking very weak.
He had just tried to snatch the engagement jade pendant from Xie Yanyu, but failed.
She controlled the jade pendant, causing it to temporarily lose its effectiveness and no longer be able to suppress the chaotic spiritual power from the outside world.
Therefore,
The spiritual power in his body that was originally suppressed by the jade pendant began to run wild again.
He instantly lost strength, a mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat, and he almost fainted. He couldn't even stand and could only fall back onto the stone bench.
at the moment,
He leaned one hand on the edge of the table to steady himself, and covered his chest with the other hand to catch his breath, breathing slightly rapidly.
Xie Yanyu was very satisfied to see him like this.
She then pinched the jade pendant, controlled it, and made it work again.
It is actually very simple to control this jade pendant.
It was originally a magical tool used to balance the external spiritual power. As long as she injected a little spiritual power into it, she could interfere with its operation and force it to digest the injected spiritual power first, thus temporarily unable to continue to balance the external spiritual power.
To make it work again,
She just needs to draw out the spiritual power that she had injected before.
Xie Yanyu didn't really want to take Li Xun's life.
So when he came to snatch the jade pendant, she only made it ineffective for a short while.
She was careful not to let him die. The jade pendant took effect again. She looked at his half-dead appearance and leaned down slightly, moving closer to observe his condition. "Are you okay?"
Li Xun got very angry when he heard her say this.
She made him half dead, and now she comes to ask him a hypocritical question. Isn't this just the cat crying over the mouse?
He was so angry that his teeth were itching and he wanted to rush up and bite her twice.
But he was too weak to do anything, so he could only raise his eyes and stare at her with a cold gaze, as if he wanted to peel off a layer of skin from her with his eyes: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Xie Yanyu pulled out the stone bench and sat down again.
Under his almost sinister gaze, she said in a commanding tone:
"Be engaged to me."
*
Her voice was not loud.
But Helan Wei's cultivation was high enough, and his five senses were sharp enough, not to mention that his attention was originally focused on her, so every word she said was carried into his ears by the wind without missing a word, like a basin of cold water poured down on him.
He stared at her intently, his eyes red.
On the other side,
Li Xun laughed in anger when he heard her words, and refused her with gritted teeth: "I won't."
Xie Yanyu was not too surprised by this.
But at this moment, she heard a series of prompts in her mind:
[Helan Wei's plot progress increased by 2%, and the current plot line progress is 32%. ]
[Li Xun's storyline progress increased by 5%, and the current storyline progress increased by 7%.]
Xie Yanyu was quite surprised by this.
She asked the system: What is this plot?
[In the original plot, when you and Li Xun first met, he recognized you and publicly mentioned your engagement. The context of this plot is that Li Xun visited Shangqing Immortal Palace and saw you at a banquet there. Helan Wei was also there at the time and heard Li Xun mention this to you. However, you initially rejected Li Xun. Later, after the banquet, Li Xun gave you the Tianjian Sect token, saying that if you changed your mind, you could contact him at any time.]
Xie Yanyu knew this plot,
She also knew that there were more ways to complete the plot now. Even if she proposed engagement and Li Xun refused, the positions could be swapped and it could still be considered in line with the plot.
But there were only her and Li Xun here, but she could hear the broadcast.
This only means that Helan Wei is also here, hiding in some corner and secretly watching her.
Xie Yanyu stood up, tilted his head slightly, and looked around.
There's nowhere to hide nearby.
If there was any, it was that there was a flowering tree behind the pavilion with lush branches and leaves that blocked her view. If someone stood there, she might not be able to see it.
She felt that he had not been here long, because she was very sensitive to the sight of others, and if he hid there and watched her for too long, she would definitely notice. But even if he had not been here long, just hiding there and watching without coming out was not like him at all.
Xie Yanyu stood up, walked to the cluster of flowers and trees, stretched out his hand, and directly pushed aside the lush branches and leaves.
But the next second,
But I saw that there was nothing behind the tree, no one at all.
Xie Yanyu paused: Where are the people?
System: [Just left.]
Xie Yanyu looked at the empty lot thoughtfully.
But Li Xun is still here,
So she quickly turned around and sat back next to Li Xun, asking softly, "You really don't want to get engaged to me?"
Li Xun was very resolute and said bitterly, "No."
Xie Yanyu nodded in understanding: "I understand."
Li Xun wanted to get out of here as soon as he knew it.
But the words haven't come out yet,
The next second,
Xie Yanyu not only didn't leave, but also moved closer to him, with a fake smile: "But your wishes are not important at all. I didn't ask for your opinion."
"The engagement jade pendant is in my hand. I can make it effective or ineffective at will." She held the jade pendant in her hand, holding the tassel hanging on the jade pendant with her fingertips, dangling it in front of his eyes, like teasing a cricket. "When you see me, your spiritual power will lose control. In front of me, you have to rely on it to survive. If you don't agree to me, I can only make it ineffective and send you to death."
As soon as these words fell.
Li Xun looked up at her in disbelief.
The system was also shocked and said: [You don’t plan to give this jade pendant to him! ]
Xie Yanyu: Why should I give it to him?
System: [I, I thought you were either going to give him the jade pendant to please him, or wear it to show your affection until he changed his mind and agreed to be engaged to you. Why...?]
Xie Yanyu: Are you surprised?
The system really didn't expect her to act like this: [After all, you weren't like this when you faced Helan Wei and Xie Chengjin. Weren't you always so attentive and careful, being cautious and knowing when to stop...]
Xie Yanyu didn't say anything.
The system was silent for a while, and then it came to its senses.
It almost forgot that she had never been a good person, and her nature was full of unwillingness and resistance. She was just covered with a layer of gentle and cautious skin. As long as she seized a little opportunity, the ambition in her bones would break through this layer of skin and emerge without any scruples. She behaved well in front of Xie Chengjin and Helan Wei only because she was temporarily under their control.
To Li Xun,
She has something in her hand that can restrain him, so how could she hand it over?
Rather than letting Xiaoyi give in, it would of course be more in line with her style to hold this thing in her hands, manipulate him, control him, and force him to marry directly.
It hesitated for a moment: [But aren't you afraid that he'll insist on being stubborn and die in front of you?]
Xie Yanyu: No.
Li Xun is a man who values his life very much.
If he could die so easily, he would not have fled to the town after his family was destroyed, humbled himself and grabbed the corner of her clothes, begging her to take him in. He would not have had his spiritual veins severed and a finger chopped off, and would not have been trampled to the bottom of the valley and still fought for his life to get out and come to this day.
She held the jade pendant and looked at Li Xun.
Under his gaze that wanted to eat her alive, she sighed softly, "Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Master Sword, you are now the focus of everyone's attention. You don't want to die in such a cowardly way, do you?"
How can someone say such insulting words in such a gentle tone?
Li Xun's eyes turned red with anger.
He gathered all his strength and jumped up, raising his hand to grab the jade pendant again.
But Xie Yanyu was quick-witted and took a step back. He injected some spiritual power into the jade pendant, rendering it ineffective.
Li Xun's face turned pale instantly.
His legs went limp and he fell to his knees, hitting the ground hard. He managed to support himself with his hands in time to avoid falling down in such a mess. He gasped for breath and opened his mouth, and blood gushed out, dripping onto the ground.
Xie Yanyu controlled the jade pendant again, making it work again, and then put it into his sleeve.
Then,
She squatted down again, in front of him, reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look up at her.
He was fierce and sharp, especially now that he was angry, he looked even more like a bloody, sharp blade.
Everyone is afraid of him.
But she was not afraid. She just had to stand here and gently bend her fingers to bend the sharp blade.
So she boldly touched the corner of his lips with her finger and carefully wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips.
Then she smiled, revealing her sharp white teeth, and threatened him: "Get engaged to me."
Li Xun was so angry that his forehead was throbbing.
She held his chin, so he had to look her straight in the eye.
But for some reason, she took off her gentle and polite mask, revealing such a sinister and sharp look, which made him feel a lot more pleasing to the eye. He looked at her for the whole night and finally felt some sense of familiarity, realizing that this was indeed the Qingqing he knew.
When he met her, she was still living on the streets. Because she had no food to eat, she was very thin and small, with underdeveloped facial features, dry and yellow hair, and a pale face and thin body. She looked like a typical mortal refugee, unlike now. She was much taller, with a straight back, beautiful manners, pale skin, and black hair that was shiny and soft like satin.
She grew up in the streets, fighting with others and snatching food. The blood and hostility in her bones could break through her skin and come out of her eyes. The first time he saw her, he lied to her and begged her to take him in. She threatened him with the same tone as now, either marry her and let her live a good life, or let her rot to death on the street. She was like a wolf cub, and she would bare her fangs when she smelled a little benefit.
That's how she should be.
She should be like a wolf cub. Li Xun stared at her and found that she was just wearing a layer of docile skin. Her nature in her bones had never changed, which made him feel familiar.
Many years ago, she betrayed him, and it was like a hole opened in his heart. Even though he had killed all his enemies over the years, this hole had never been filled at all. It had always been very empty, until this moment, when it seemed as if it had finally been filled a little.
He suddenly brushed her hand away, and as if possessed by some mysterious force, he finally managed to tear the piece of silk off her eyes.
There was no response to her threats,
He was moody, having been furious just a moment ago, but now he was smiling with a forced smile. Seeing that she had her eyes closed, he poked her eyelids with his artificial golden finger. Dead objects had no sense of touch, so he couldn't feel her warmth. "Why are you so anxious to get engaged to me?"
"Is it not good to live here? Tsk, that's true. I'm blind, so I wouldn't believe you even if you said you were living well.
“Who bullied you?
"……say!"
