Chapter 31 Jinjiang Exclusive Authorization First Release 11 Collection and Replenishment...
At sunset, the sky gradually turned red.
Yan Yi returned to the mansion with the villain, holding a half-eaten candied haws in his hand.
When they reached the door of the study, Wen Huoran handed her the paper bag in his hand and said, "Take it."
Yan Yi reached out to take it, holding the few candied haws he was packing to take away in his arms. Before he could say anything, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure poking out from the corner of the wall.
"Meow--"
Yan Yi turned his head and looked towards the base of the wall. Xiaoli just stuck his head out, but as if he had discovered some danger, he suddenly retracted his head.
"Meow—" A sharp cat cry sounded immediately. Yan Yi quickly threw the candied haws in his hand back into Wen Huoran's arms and turned to chase Xiao Li.
"Why are you running?" She rubbed the furry head of the tabby cat, carried it back, and came to the big villain. Only then did she find that the little cat was holding a small mailbox in its mouth.
"A reply from your cousin?" Wen Huoran's gaze fell on the mailbox.
"That should be the case." Yan Yi said casually, complaining in his heart.
When Xiaoli saw the villain, she immediately turned around and ran away to cover for her. It was as if she was blind and insisted on chasing Xiaoli back, asking for her own death.
Seeing that she didn't move, Wen Xuran raised his chin slightly, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Yan Yi was about to cry, but he couldn't. "Your Majesty, I'll go back to my room and take a look."
Wen Huoran stared at her, his gaze unclear. "You don't want me to know the contents of the letter?"
Yan Yi: “…” When did the big villain become a worm in her stomach!
"No," she flatly denied. "Your Majesty, I've been walking around all day and my legs are sore and weak. I'm almost dead tired. I want to go back to my room and sit down and watch."
Wen Huoran nodded slightly, but showed no intention of leaving.
Yan Yi was speechless and dared not say a word. He had to bite the bullet and turn around to go to the study.
Wen Huoran looked calm and followed her into the study.
Yan Yi sat down at the desk holding Xiaoli in his arms. He nervously unfolded the letter and read it carefully word by word. His frown gradually relaxed.
She suppressed her inner excitement and tried to keep her tone as gentle as usual, "Your Majesty, my cousin said that the heirloom is just an ordinary red crystal. Apart from its ability to ensure safety, there's nothing special about it."
Who would have thought that the nonsense she made up in a hurry would accidentally match the words of the characters in the original book.
Wen Huoran: "What does your cousin say about the Yuan Jing matter?"
Yan Yi glanced at the contents of the letter and said truthfully, "Just as Yingyue told me before, when a mortal's essence leaves the body, their spirit and soul are destroyed, their body withers away, and they will die without a doubt."
Wen Huoran simply sat down opposite Yan Yi, "What else did your cousin say?"
Yan Yi curled his lips. Is the villain trying to pry into other people's private affairs?
Even though she was extremely reluctant, she had to turn to the second page of the letter in front of Wen Huoran.
The more I read, the more uneasy I felt.
"My cousin said..." She suddenly raised her head, staring at the villain with horror, "Your Majesty, my cousin said that the elders of the sect saw that he had excellent bones and was a rare talent in cultivation. His cultivation level has improved significantly, and they will come to visit him soon."
Wen Huiran frowned, "Why did your cousin insist on coming to see you?"
Yan Yi's eyes darkened. "You must be worried about me. After all, we are brother and sister, and we grew up together."
These words were very irritating to Wen Huiran. He said in a deep voice, "Since he is determined to come, why not fulfill his wish?"
"Huh?" Yan Yi panicked and raised his voice unconsciously, "That's not necessary! Your Majesty, if he comes, everything will be exposed!"
"I am the Demon Lord, how can I be afraid of him?"
Yan Yi: “…” No, aren’t they discussing the same thing?
"Your Majesty has held a high position for a long time, so of course he's not afraid of him," she explained in a low voice, "but I am afraid! What if he obeys my father's instructions and forcibly takes me back to marry him? What should I do?"
Wen Huiran sneered, "A mere mortal coming to the Demon Realm to snatch someone away is overestimating your own abilities."
Yan Yi seemed to have seen the dawn of hope, so he climbed up the pole and asked, "Your Majesty, will you protect me when the time comes?"
Wen Huoran didn't respond, but simply said, "From now on, don't communicate with your cousin anymore."
"Why?" Yan Yi blinked, inexplicably hearing the displeasure in the other party's tone.
"I don't like you to communicate frequently with others."
Yan Yi widened her eyes. Was the villain pretending to be the overbearing CEO who falls in love with me?
Although he was quite shocked, Yan Yi accepted the request of not contacting the male protagonist of the original book for the time being since his goal had been achieved.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Your Majesty." She responded softly.
Hearing this, Wen Xuran felt quite happy.
"Take off your pendant. I will cast a defensive spell on you to prevent you from losing it again."
Yan Yi touched the pendant on his chest and immediately became alert, hesitating: "No - no need for it!" If he accidentally broke the golden finger and delayed the collection of energy, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted!
Wen Huiran was puzzled, and his scrutinizing gaze fell on her face, "Why not?"
Yan Yi racked his brains and finally found an appropriate excuse, "This heirloom has been blessed. I'm worried that it might be contaminated by evil spirits - it won't work!"
Wen Huiran's eyes were deep, "Is there such a statement?"
Yan Yi nodded repeatedly, "Yes. Your Majesty, you may not know that most ordinary mortals believe in gods and Buddhas in order to seek spiritual sustenance and inner peace."
Seeing that she remained calm and explained clearly, Wen Huoran was skeptical and did not insist, but his inner uneasiness grew more and more.
Even at this moment, he still couldn't tell which of Yan Yi's words came from the heart and which were just nonsense to deceive others.
Yan Yi quietly waited for the villain's response, but saw that he was staring at the letter on the table in a trance, so he stretched out a hand in front of him and waved it, "Your Majesty, why are you silent?"
Wen Huiran gathered his thoughts and asked calmly, "Are you—hiding something from me?"
Yan Yi was shocked, but he tried to remain calm, "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"
"You know that the pendant is essence, and you also know its purpose." Wen Huoran said affirmatively.
His heart was in his throat, and Yan Yi's palms were covered with sticky sweat. "Your Majesty, you wronged me. I didn't know the pendant was the essence."
This was true, she had just learned that the red crystal the system had given her was actually her own essence.
Wen Huoran slowly stood up, wanting to speak but hesitant. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh. He only said, "If you encounter any difficult problems, feel free to tell me. We should be honest with each other and there is no need to hide anything."
Yan Yi sat in the chair blankly, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment. The villain suddenly said these words with such sincerity, could it be that he discovered something?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." She tried to calm herself down, but she felt more and more uneasy inside.
Wen Huiran nodded slightly, then turned and walked out.
Yan Yi stared at the villain's gradually walking away figure in a trance, leaning weakly on the armchair, without moving for a long time.
The little fox suddenly jumped into her arms, meowing and rubbing her chin with its furry head.
Yan Yi suddenly remembered something, lowered his eyes and stared at the tabby cat, his expression becoming serious.
"Xiao Li, did you secretly cast a spell on the letter you wrote to your cousin?"
The little fox shook his head and cried out "Meow--" before jumping out of her arms.
No?
Yan Yi was puzzled.
It was such a coincidence that the random words I made up actually coincided with the setting of the original book.
As far as she knew, the original book never mentioned that Canary had a family heirloom.
Could it be that just like the name, the settings that were not mentioned in the original book will automatically change according to the reaction of the person who traveled through the book?
While I was lost in thought, there was a gentle knock on the study door.
I heard him go away and come back.
Yan Yi was slightly surprised, but more terrified, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
Wen Huoran didn't respond and handed the half-eaten candied haws in his hand to her, "Your candied haws." He left in such a hurry that he forgot to leave the candied haws he had been holding in his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then took the candied haws and bit off one.
Wen Huoran: "If you don't want to talk about the Yuan Jing matter, I have no intention of forcing you. When you want to talk about it, I will help you."
Yan Yi opened her mouth slightly, and an idea suddenly popped up from the bottom of her heart. She quickly swallowed the candied haws in her mouth and tried it sincerely.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't know that the pendant was the essence, but I know a secret."
Seeing her mysterious look, Wen Huiran became a little interested. "What secret?"
Yan Yi hooked his finger, signaling the villain to come closer.
Wen Huoran hesitated, but still took two steps forward and walked in front of her, "Speak."
"We are actually living in a novel." She whispered in the villain's ear.
Wen Huoran stood up straight and kept some distance from her. "Ridiculous."
The villain's reaction was too real, which really pleased her. Yan Yi laughed out loud, a look of joy on his face, "Your Majesty, this is true, I didn't lie to you."
"Nonsense." Wen Huoran said, turned around and left.
Yan Yi was in high spirits and quickly chased after him, reaching out to grab his sleeve, "Your Majesty, don't you believe me? I have evidence."
Wen Huoran paused and looked down at her, "You are the first person who dares to fool me."
Yan Yi let go of his hand and said half-seriously, "Really? It's such an honor."
After that, she picked up the topic again and tentatively said, "Your Majesty, aren't you curious? What if we really were living in a storybook?"
"Nonsense."
Hearing this, Yan Yi became a little anxious. If the villain didn't fall for her trick, she wouldn't be able to test her previous guess.
If the words or actions of the mission target endanger the life safety of the book traverser, the protection mechanism will be triggered and the relevant memories will be forcibly erased by the system.
Although he was extremely curious, Yan Yi was timid and fearful at heart, and did not dare to use the task of collecting essences as bait to test the other party.
After much deliberation, she carefully considered her words and asked softly, "Your Majesty, if I said I wasn't from this world, would you believe me?"
Wen Huoran: "You are an ordinary mortal, not from the Demon Realm. Why don't I believe you?"
Yan Yi: “…” What he said seemed to make so much sense that she was speechless.
Beating around the bush won't work.
Yan Yi racked his brains, changed his approach, and continued to probe: "Your Majesty, you damaged your essence in the past and have been unable to recover. If I give you my pendant, will you be able to recover quickly?"
After saying this, she suddenly realized that her purpose was actually not much different from those evil practitioners who were only interested in taking shortcuts.
Wen Huoran: "Why do you suddenly mention this?"
Yan Yi gathered his thoughts and calmly explained, "It's useless for me to keep my essence, so why not let Your Majesty take it? It will be considered a good deed."
Wen Huiran seemed a little disappointed. "Just to do good deeds?"
"That's not the case." She paused for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, the evil cultivators sneaked into the demon clan to search for the furnace, is it for the purpose of collecting essences?"
Wen Huoran: "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Yan Yi looked serious, "I want to learn."
"What are you studying?"
Yan Yi made up his mind and said truthfully: "The technique of collecting and replenishing."
"Who do you want to take essence from?" Just as he finished speaking, Wen Huoran suddenly reached out and pressed his throbbing solar plexus. He felt a splitting headache and a buzzing tinnitus.
He felt as if he was in a dark and foggy night, with no sight of his hand in front of him. He was the only one left in this vast world.
The mother's dying tears, the brothers' bodies like dry bones, the blood flowing from Wen Zhengming's mouth... emerged like huge waves.
"Your Majesty—"
A familiar voice called out, like a light tearing through the night.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Huoran suddenly opened his eyes, and a magnified beautiful face appeared in front of him. He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hugged the person in front of him tightly in his arms.
