Chapter 65 He drilled through his sternum and dug out his heart...
There is more than one way to enter the Shangqing Immortal Palace.
In addition to the public selection of disciples every five years, Helan Wei can also make recommendations.
In the original plot,
Xie Yanyu chased Helan Wei to Shangqing Immortal Palace and became a menial disciple.
In that plot, she did not enter the Shangqing Immortal Palace through an open disciple selection, but Helan Wei left a letter of recommendation before leaving the Xie family.
He said it was for the younger generations of the Xie family, but in fact it was for her. He knew that she was infected with the love thread Gu and could not leave him, but he insisted on playing the game of "I follow you" with her, leading her to fight for the recommendation letter and leading her to chase him to Shangqing Fairy Palace.
But when she finally got the letter of recommendation and used it to enter Shangqing Immortal Palace, he put on a reserved attitude again, as if he hadn't expected her to be there. He glanced at her and asked gently, "Yanyu likes me so much? You're still pursuing me even though we have no official status or status."
Xie Yanyu watched this scene: "..."
She knew his character well enough.
So just thinking about it, you will know why there is such a plot in the original text.
This person is covered with a gentle and elegant appearance, but in his heart he is arrogant and evil.
He was high and mighty, so he would not lower his head and invite her to follow him back to Shangqing Fairy Palace. He regarded her as a relatively interesting plaything, so he did not want her to really die from the explosion of the love thread Gu. Therefore, he was willing to go through so much trouble and condescendingly tease her with such means, leaving her a bad letter of recommendation.
But no matter what,
Xie Yanyu has been following the plot for some time. Although it fits the plot points, the plot itself has been distorted a lot by her. Therefore, there is no bond of love Gu between him and her. If he wants to leave the Xie family this time, he probably won't leave a letter of recommendation.
Xie Yanyu pondered for a while,
Finally, I decided to go find him and ask him directly for a letter of recommendation.
*
Although I was going to look for Helan Wei,
But after saying goodbye to Li Xun, it was already too late, so Xie Yanyu decided to go see him again tomorrow.
When she returned to her courtyard, she saw the servant waiting for her at the gate, so she casually instructed him, "Go to the street and buy me some snacks tomorrow morning."
Shen Lang asked, "What kind of snack would you like, young lady?"
Xie Yanyu paused.
She asked him to buy some snacks, not that she wanted to eat them.
She remembered that there were still some plot points that could be advanced with Helan Wei, such as small things like sending him snacks. Although she had discovered a new way for the plot to proceed and knew that letting them do things that she should have done to her could be considered as advancing the plot, she was not prepared to use that method to advance all the plot points from now on -
In order to get Helan Wei to bring her snacks, she had to spend more time and effort to guide him, but sending snacks to Helan Wei was just a matter of convenience.
Her purpose is only to advance the plot, and she does not care about such trivial matters. She will do whatever is worry-free and efficient. But if it comes to major physical harm, such as poisoning, night blindness and other painful plots, she will do whatever it takes to make them suffer for her.
She was calculating in her heart,
But she didn't intend to explain anything to the servant. Not to mention taking the trouble to choose the types of snacks, she didn't even bother to say that these snacks were for Helan Wei.
So she said, "Whatever, anything is fine."
*
The next morning,
After Xie Yanyu got up, Chen Lang brought in the snacks.
There were several food boxes. When she opened them one by one, she found that the snacks inside were still hot, as if they were freshly made. There were several kinds, but each one was her favorite.
Saying I like it is not appropriate.
She didn't have any obvious preferences in food, because since she could remember, she had lived in poverty and could even eat moss. She was not picky about normal food. For her, as long as it could fill her stomach, she would eat anything, no matter whether it was sour, sweet, bitter, spicy or salty.
But these snacks,
If it is on the table, she will eat a few more bites.
Xie Yanyu felt that this could be called love.
She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the attendant: "You are quite good at shopping."
Shen Lang did not deny it, but just smiled and pinched his fingertips.
He knew that when she said that, it meant that she liked it.
But in fact, he had noticed what she liked to eat a long time ago.
In the previous life,
When she first joined the demon tribe, he didn't trust her, so he was always observing her. But at that time, he didn't know why he observed her so carefully. He would watch her put on makeup and eat, remembering how she liked to comb her hair, which dish she ate a few more bites of, which kind of pearl hairpins she wore a few more times, and which small movements she did a few more times.
At the time he thought he was just being cautious and wanted to make sure she was trustworthy.
But it was only much later that he realized that he was observing her like this not because he doubted her.
If you just suspect that she is a spy sent by the human race, then you can just observe who she contacts and what she says every day. Who would stare at her every move like this?
But he realized it too late.
He still killed her with his own hands, but in the days after her death, everything about her became clearer day by day, as if engraved into his bones and integrated into his life. His instinct, before his reason, had already engraved all of this into his soul. It was not until much later that he suddenly realized that perhaps he loved her, even if this love was filthy, despicable, like garbage, and worthless.
He learned to cook her favorite dishes, to style her hair, and everything she liked, thinking that when she was resurrected, he would give her the things she liked every day. However, he tried all the spells to summon her soul and used up all his skills, but she did not come back.
She made her favorite food, but left it on the table until it got cold and spoiled, and no one came to eat it.
She bought the clothes she liked, but they were placed in the closet, becoming old and no one wore them.
In the following years,
Everyone said that Shen Lang had gone crazy.
Because he chiseled through his sternum with a knife, dug out his heart, and used the formation of sacrifice to offer his body to Xie Yanyu, but her soul was nowhere to be found, and even the sacrifice could not be completed. In fact, because he used such evil spells too much, he had jumped out of the cycle of reincarnation and became a being that was neither a demon nor a ghost, and could not even ask for death.
So he tore off his own face and made a new face for himself, Xie Yanyu's face. He wore the clothes she liked, combed his hair in the style she liked, wore the pearl hairpins she liked, lived with her face, ate the food he made in front of the mirror, trying to hold on to the illusion that she was still there.
But it is an illusion after all, it is fake.
He longed to see her again, even if it was just the simplest scene.
Just like in his past memories, he sat at the table and observed calmly which dish she moved her chopsticks a little more, but even such a daily little thing became his luxury and vision.
He really wanted to see her eating, combing her hair, changing clothes, any little movement.
He also really hoped that she could eat every bite of the things he made for her that she liked.
At this time, Shen Lang stared at her without blinking.
There were some burn marks on his fingertips. The wounds were very fresh and could not be healed so quickly even with healing magic. He accidentally burned himself while making snacks. He didn't want to buy them outside. He wanted to watch her eat what he made. He didn't feel any pain on the wounds, only sweetness and pleasure.
He asked her expectantly, "Would you like to try it and see if it suits your taste?"
However, as soon as these words fell,
Then I saw Xie Yanyu cover all the food boxes.
Shen Lang was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Don't you like it?"
Xie Yanyu turned to look at him,
I don't know why, but I feel like he's weird. Why do his eyes seem a little red?
She shook her head: "I won't eat this. I've been able to fast for a long time in the Jindan stage. This is for Helan Wei."
She paused at this point.
It seemed that she felt that Helan Wei was approaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage and could go on a long fast. It was a little unreasonable for her to bring him some snacks, so she casually added:
"I might as well bring it to cheer him up. He probably won't eat it, so he'll probably just throw it away in the end."
*
After Xie Yanyu finished explaining, he took some snacks and went to find Helan Wei.
The attendant followed her quietly.
When she arrived at Helan Wei's door, she waved her hand to stop him from coming in, then knocked on the door. After Helan Wei answered the door, she went into his room and closed the door.
In the room.
Helan sat in front of the table, playing chess with himself.
Knowing she was coming, he didn't even look up at her: "What's wrong?"
His reaction was quite calm.
If Xie Yanyu hadn't known that he was behind the pavilion last night, she wouldn't have been able to tell from his calm appearance that he was eavesdropping on her and Li Xun's conversation. After all, this guy was still very fussy a while ago. He would find fault with everything she said and look for evidence that she didn't like him or was lying to him.
But it's best if he doesn't go crazy.
He had to pretend that he knew nothing, and Xie Yanyu would not bring up this matter on his own initiative.
She placed the snacks in front of him and said, "I would like to ask you for help."
"Help with what?"
Xie Yanyu had noticed the change in his attitude earlier.
But it was only in these two days that she was completely sure that what she felt, his concessions and the softening of his attitude, were not illusions. Although not obvious, they were real.
When he backed off, she took a step forward, making a direct request: "I want to enter Shangqing Immortal Palace to practice, but the public recruitment of disciples is still a year or two away. You are the first disciple of Shangqing Immortal Palace and even have the power of an elder in the sect, so I would like to ask you to give me a letter of recommendation."
Helan Wei paused as he twisted the chess piece.
He finally looked at her.
Yesterday she asked Li Xun to get engaged to her, but was rejected. Today she came to him and said she wanted to go to Shangqing Fairy Palace.
I don’t know if it’s because I was rejected that I gave up those thoughts and started to cling to him again.
If that was the case, then she was treating him as a backup option.
Helan Wei had never been considered a backup option in his life. He didn't know how she dared to do that, but he knew he should feel humiliated. In fact, he did feel angry, but there was also a hint of sourness in this anger, and besides that, there was also a strange bit of anticipation.
He then asked, "Why do you want to go to Shangqing Immortal Palace?"
Xie Yanyu was very perfunctory: "Because I heard that you were going back, I wanted to be closer to you."
Yeah?
At this time, Helan Wei really didn't believe what she said.
He skillfully gave her several excuses, but none of them made sense.
But for some reason, he still didn't expose her.
He didn't know why he was doing this, but he was indeed trying to whitewash the situation, pretending not to know what happened last night. He lowered his eyelashes and said, "Really? Then why don't you marry me?"
"It's closer to me this way." He said lightly.
