Chapter 90: His underwear was stained with his...
Before entering the secret realm, Xie Yanyu sent a message to Li Xun, saying that he wanted to go with him.
This secret place was dangerous. Li Xun wanted to ask her what she was going to do in there, but just after editing the message, he felt that the question was very strange. It seemed as if he cared about her, but how could he possibly care about her?
Therefore, Lord Sword Master deleted the message again.
He edited a new message and sent it to her: "Okay, come along if you want, but let me make this clear: I'm going to a very dangerous place to steal a magical weapon. If you get carried away by a ferocious beast, or if you get attacked by one and your brains get blown out, I won't care."
But Xie Yanyu ignored him.
Not a single word replied.
*
The next day.
The secret realm is opened.
Xie Yanyu took the monster into the secret realm.
It's different from what I imagined.
Everyone says this place is dangerous, but it looks normal.
Xie Yanyu originally thought that this place would be like the secret realms described in books, looking like a wilderness, with ferocious beasts everywhere, a red sky, a surging evil spirit, and endless wild mountains; but in fact, this secret realm looked very much like a normal human city.
There are streets and alleys, houses, shops and taverns here, but no one is in the houses or taverns, so it looks deserted, like a dead city.
Looking up again, you can see the outline of the mountains and forests outside the city.
System: [The treasures are all in the forest outside the city. The city is safe, but it is extremely dangerous outside the city.]
Xie Yanyu: Really? How dangerous is it?
System: [Well, to use Li Xun's words... those ferocious beasts are truly capable of beating a cultivator's brains out. Even some less powerful Nascent Soul cultivators would be beaten to death if they were there.]
Xie Yanyu: Tsk.
System: [Li Xun is about to go outside the city to rob treasures. Do you really want to follow him?]
Xie Yanyu ignored it.
She looked around and began to look for Li Xun.
There were many people around, and many cultivators were heading out of the city. Xie Yanyu originally thought that he would also go out of the city at this time and look for a while.
But unexpectedly, he was waiting at the entrance of the secret realm. Among the white-robed monks, he was wearing a very eye-catching red robe, holding a sword, and leaning leisurely against the city wall, so that Xie Yanyu found him at a glance.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of a long time ago,
When she first met Li Xun, his clothing preferences were actually not ostentatious. Like many children from wealthy families, he often wore restrained and inconspicuous colors.
He liked to wear black at that time because he was seriously injured and needed to use spiritual medicine to heal his wounds. However, the town where she lived was full of mortals and there were no spiritual medicines. Li Xun had no choice but to ask her to collect herbs, but she didn't know what spiritual medicines were.
So in the first few times, Li Xun took her to climb wild mountains outside the city and look for elixirs.
There were many trees on the mountain, so the light was dim. She got lost several times and couldn't find anyone. Finally, Li Xun laughed at her and said that having eyes was the same as being blind. She said that mortals didn't have such sharp five senses. It was pitch black in the forest, and you were wearing all black. Couldn't you wear something more conspicuous?
But Li Xun ignored her.
Until the day she betrayed him, he still liked to wear black.
But after we met again, I saw that he was always wearing red.
There were all kinds of clothes, embroidered with silver thread, with gold edges, made of silk, and gauze. She changed two sets every day, which was very ostentatious, but they were all the most eye-catching bright red.
Xie Yanyu looked at him twice more before walking towards him with Chen Lang.
As he approached, just as he was about to speak, Li Xun spoke first, in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, why did you bring another one? A small burden and a big burden, quite impressive. Why don't you bring a few more to make up 100,000 heads for me? I'll overthrow this secret realm in no time."
Xie Yanyu: "...Can you speak more normally?"
Li Xun instantly regained his composure, raised his chin and nodded at Chen Lang: "Let him go."
*
The monster finally "rolled away".
It’s not appropriate to say that it rolled.
Xie Yanyu knew the nature of this demon. He liked to follow her. If it was not possible to follow her openly, he would follow her secretly. He would even disguise himself as a guard of the Xie Mansion and serve her personally. He wanted to haunt her like a ghost.
At this time,
Although Xie Yanyu followed Li Xun's instructions and let him go for the time being, she knew that he probably didn't really leave. He probably just hid his figure and followed her, staring at her like a ghost, looking at her and enveloping her with his gaze.
Instead, the system said, "Aren't you going to see the Demon Lord? You even fed him Helan Wei's heart blood to get him to come with you, so why are you sending him away now? You're not going to see the Demon Lord?"
Xie Yanyu: See you later, I have other things to do now.
System: [What's going on? Why do you have to be with Li Xun?]
Xie Yanyu: Let’s go somewhere.
System: [Where to go?]
Xie Yanyu ignored it.
She glanced at Li Xun and said, "I've driven him away."
Upon hearing this, Li Xun said "hmm".
He didn't continue leaning on the city wall. Instead, he stood up, straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, turned around and left: "Let's go, follow me to rob things."
But before I took two steps,
Xie Yanyu grabbed him.
He turned around and saw her shaking her head: "Not going there."
*
Li Xun came to this secret realm to steal magic weapons, but Xie Yanyu did not.
Although the place she was going to was also outside the city, it was not dangerous. The spiritual energy there was thin and ferocious beasts rarely visited. It was a cave.
She saw some images yesterday that seemed like memories.
There are three fragmented sections in total.
The first paragraph is:
After Li Xun broke off the engagement, she was placed under house arrest by the Xie family.
But for some reason, even though she was under house arrest, Li Xun was still able to visit her.
So on this day, she met Li Xun.
The man stood in front of her, looking at her with red eyes, his state distorted. "Settlement? You and I are settling? You will never be able to settle with me in this lifetime! My finger, my spiritual vein, you owe me everything. How dare you say we're settling? You will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime!"
She said, "Then I will return it to you."
Li Xun said, "How can you return it? Do you want to chop off a finger or sever all your spiritual veins?"
She said, "Sure. Wasn't my spiritual root born from your magical instrument? I'll cut it out."
Li Xun stared at her for a moment, as if truly pissed off. He threw the sword at her, "Alright, do it. When you can, we'll be even. If you can't, marry me. You'll owe me your whole life."
This scene has no beginning or end, no cause or effect.
When Xie Yanyu caught it, he felt it was very familiar, as if he wanted to remember something else, but in the end he didn't remember it.
She felt very strange.
It stands to reason that Li Xun broke off the engagement in order to avenge her, and also exposed her relationship with Helan Wei, causing her to lose her reputation.
But why is he forcing marriage in this scene?
That night she looked through the original plot, trying to find out if there was any hidden secret. She did see in the original plot the scene where Li Xun came to visit her after she was placed under house arrest, but it was only mentioned briefly, and it didn't even mention what Li Xun said to her. It was not as detailed as the memory in her mind.
The second screen is:
She did not immediately remove the spiritual root.
Until one day after being placed under house arrest, she found Xie Chengjin and negotiated with him.
She said that she had a special spiritual root that could supply him with blood, and she was willing to cut out her spiritual root and exchange it for her freedom.
The third screen is:
After she married the Demon Lord.
Li Xun found her, threatened her, and forced her to divorce the Demon Lord.
If she divorced, he could help her grow a new spiritual root, a new spiritual root that could be used to cultivate immortality.
The three scenes are jumpy and incoherent, and several different stories can be inferred from them. However, due to the lack of key information, it is always difficult to infer the most correct answer.
She didn't even know if Xie Chengjin had agreed to let her cut open her spiritual root in exchange. Was it because of Xie Chengjin or Li Xun that she finally cut open her spiritual root?
Even if she looked for it in the original plot, she couldn't find any specific descriptions of these paragraphs. Just like the system said, she was a supporting role, and the supporting role's role was of course mentioned briefly. The only detailed descriptions were those parts where the readers loved to see the slaps in the face.
Last night, she read the original plot over and over again.
In the end, I only saw a few episodes.
The book says:
After breaking off the engagement with Xie Yanyu, Li Xun began looking for a way to reopen the secret realm of Shangqing Immortal Palace.
[He had previously retrieved the jade token from Xie Yanyu.]
This jade token is an old relic of the Li family, a treasure of the mortal realm. When used in conjunction with the Li family's secret technique, it can revive the dead and restore their spirits. However, the Li family's secret technique has been lost for over a hundred years. After extensive research, Li Xun discovered that it was hidden within the secret realm of the Shangqing Immortal Palace.
The secret realm opens once every hundred years, and it had only been a short time since its last opening. At that time, Li Xun hadn't found the jade token or Xie Yanyu, and naturally hadn't discovered the secret technique within the secret realm. Therefore, his trip to the secret realm that time was solely to vie for a magical instrument.
[Li Xun finally broke through the secret realm, forced his way in, and searched for the secret method.]
…
There is basically no plot about Li Xun here. The following part only describes that the secret method is in a cave in the secret realm. The spiritual power is thin and ferocious beasts are rare. Only those who travel with Li's family or wear the jade token can enter the cave.
After that, there was no more plot involving Li Xun until Xie Yanyu's death.
He must have been in the secret realm until her death.
Xie Yanyu turned back again.
She had only read the plot related to herself before and did not turn the page to the back. Now when she turned the page to the back, she found that the plot at the back was blank.
I don’t know if it was because she didn’t finish writing it, or because she could only see the content up to her death, so I don’t know whether Li Xun finally found the secret method.
But at least, combining these plots, she could infer that from the scenes she saw in the mirror of the past, the method Li Xun said could allow her to grow new spiritual roots was to use the jade token on her to reshape her spiritual roots.
The reason she wanted to go to the cave and take a look was because she wanted to get the secret method.
She suspected that these plots were not just plots, but she might have really experienced them.
The system must have been hiding something from her about this matter. She couldn't see the truth, but she couldn't just be controlled by it. Therefore, in addition to following the plot, she also had to prepare a comprehensive escape route for herself, such as a new spiritual root that could be used for cultivation.
*
Xie Yanyu pointed in the direction and told Li Xun that she wanted to go to the cave.
Li Xun clicked his tongue: "Are you following me or am I following you?"
Xie Yanyu: "Are you going or not?"
"No."
Xie Yanyu thought about it.
If Li Xun didn't go, she could still go in wearing the jade token, so she said, "Then give me your jade token."
"You say I should listen? Am I a dog? Huh? Even dogs aren't this obedient, are they? And I hate you the most, how could I possibly go along with you? You're dreaming."
Li Xun rejected her bluntly.
But then, she was seen taking out the engagement jade pendant.
The pale and slender fingertips pointed at the upper door, as if to inject spiritual power into it. Although this trick was old-fashioned and unoriginal, it was very useful against him. What Li Xun feared most now was this action of hers. Before she injected her spiritual power into it, his heart had already started pounding and he was about to speak out loud.
But the next second,
But he saw her input her spiritual power into it.
But one second passed, then two, three...
Li Xun's heart was just beating fast, but his spiritual power was not running wild. He was still standing very upright not far in front of her.
Li Xun was stunned.
His eyes fell on her face, and then he saw a hint of surprise flash across her face.
"laugh,"
After a while, Li Xun suddenly laughed: "Qingqing, what do you think this is?"
He suddenly moved closer to her, but in his action, he pulled his sleeve out of her other hand, and said sinisterly and viciously: "I'm not afraid of you anymore. Now you can't control me, this is..."
"What should I do——?"
*
at the same time.
Tiandu, Xie Mansion.
Xie Chengjin had just survived another backlash of the remaining poison and endured it for four or five days in a state of confusion.
But at this time,
The backlash had just passed, but he had already gone out and was about to start working.
He was dressed neatly in black brocade clothes, his hair was neatly tied up, and he walked with steady and quiet steps. Even the rings and bracelets around his waist did not jingle with his steps. He was as quiet as he was, and his manners were extremely proper and beautiful.
His face was still a little pale, his eyebrows and eyes were dark, as if painted with ink, but his lips were light in color, a little sickly. However, when others looked at him, the first thing they felt was not his weakness and sickness, but coldness.
He is like a piece of indifferent and emotionless ice, which cannot be chiseled or melted, and makes people feel cold at first sight.
Therefore, others could never imagine how confused and painful he was in the past few days.
Only the personal attendants knew.
At this time, the servants followed him, secretly glancing at him from time to time, fearing that he would suddenly collapse again due to his body not being able to hold on.
His son had been insane from the backlash a few days ago, frightening the servants, and had actually ordered them to go to Xie Yanyu's yard and get Xie Yanyu's things. They were puzzled, but they did as they were told, and brought back a few pieces of clothing.
But who would have thought that Xie Chengjin would actually hug those clothes and bury his head in them.
Like a madman, he buried himself in her scent and wrapped himself in her scent.
Maybe it's because,
Her scent could ease his pain...?
Otherwise, how could it be possible that the young master, who was already in a state of confusion, still remembered to take her clothes?
The backlash lasted for four or five days, and he held her clothes for those four or five days.
It was so abnormal that the servants were a little scared.
There were even some close-fitting clothes that were stained with the young master's...
The servants dared not speak, nor could they believe it.
But now the time of backlash has passed, and the young master is conscious and everything is normal.
The attendant followed him, thinking about something aimlessly, but suddenly saw Xie Chengjin stopped.
In front were several elders of the Xie family.
Xie Chengjin greeted them and then asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for the steward?"
An elder held up an envelope and said, "Yes, we received some letters a few days ago. We replied and will have the steward find a messenger to send them back to Shangqing Immortal Palace."
Hearing the words Shangqing Palace,
Xie Chengjin paused for a moment and asked, "Is the letter that was delivered here as well?"
He is famous for not minding his own business.
He wouldn't even bother with things like receiving and delivering letters. If a letter was important, he wouldn't even look at it even if it was delivered to a clan elder. He also rarely participated in clan meetings. Why did he suddenly ask about this now?
The elders thought he was a little abnormal, but they nodded and said, "Yes."
Xie Chengjin took the envelope and said, "I'll give it to the steward."
Elders:?
The elders opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen a ghost.
However, Xie Chengjin just nodded slightly, took the envelope and left.
After walking away,
He opened the envelope with a blank expression.
Then, he took out the letter that was sent to him——
The letter was brought from Shangqing Palace.
But it was not a letter home written by Xie Yanyu.
Xie Chengjin's eyes slowly swept across the letter. The red paper was stained with gold ink, but his vision was as dark as a cold pond. After reading the entire letter, the fingers holding the letter turned white.
The servant felt the coldness from him and was startled by him.
I don’t know what is written in this letter. Why did the young master’s expression change after reading it? He suddenly became so scary.
Then the attendant took a glance and found that—
This is not a letter at all.
This is a marriage proposal!
