Chapter 25 Chapter 25 "Just Like"
After a lot of effort, Ruan Mingyu finally bought a large piece of spiritual field behind the clinic.
The main reason was that the spirit stones he had left were only enough to buy this place, but when he thought about it, buying a spirit field and giving away a clinic was a good deal.
Ruan Mingyu used a shovel to remove the weeds in the ground.
Song Chenxi's expression suddenly changed as he said, "Go somewhere else."
Ruan Mingyu: "What happened?"
Song Chenxi: "I smell a demonic aura."
Ruan Mingyu paused, immediately threw away the shovel, and carefully moved behind Song Chenxi.
"Brother, I'm counting on you."
"Now you're thinking about me again." Song Chenxi chuckled. "Little Sparrow, you really are so heartless."
"Brother, your divine might is invincible, your magical power is boundless, and you are invincible in every battle," Ruan Mingyu complimented. "I will follow you from now on."
"Okay, Senior Brother will protect you."
Song Chenxi stepped forward and cast a spell on the spiritual field. He drew a magic circle in mid-air, and several golden rays of light enveloped the field. Then, he said lazily, "Get out, monster! You must move today. My junior needs this place."
Not long after, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old emerged from the soil.
She had her hair tied up in two buns, crossed her arms, and puffed up her cheeks. "I've lived here for over a hundred years. You can just kick me out if you want to? This is my home. Even calling Old Man Zhao won't help."
The old man he was talking about was the owner of this clinic, the late Zhao Ziping.
Song Chenxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he took out his sword and was ready to fight her head-on.
Ruan Mingyu held his hand and said, "Alas, fighting and killing isn't good. I'll give it a try first. If I can persuade him, then it might be a good idea."
Ruan Mingyu walked over with a smile and took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to her: "Little sister, have a candy first."
"Hmph, you foolish mortal, I won't eat it." Yueya said.
Ruan Mingyu picked one and put it in his mouth, saying loudly, "Oh, it's so sweet." He put another one into Song Chenxi's hand and said, "Brother, try it too."
Ruan Mingyu: "Is it sweet?"
Song Chenxi smiled and said, "How sweet."
Yueya said one thing and meant another, staring at him eagerly. Ruan Mingyu took out some candy and waved it in front of her. She couldn't wait to grab one and eat it.
Ruan Mingyu stood aside and said gently, "As for me, I want to plant some brothers and sisters on this land to accompany you. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a spirit made of plants and trees. As long as you agree, you can have candy every day."
Yueya said, "Your words don't count. You should ask Zhao Ziping."
"He went to a very far place and may not be able to answer your question." Ruan Mingyu said.
"Gone?" Yueya was stunned. "Is he dead? He's such a fool. I clearly told him that he could prolong his life by slicing my original ginseng, but he just wouldn't listen. What a fool, what a fool! He is!"
She looked at Ruan Mingyu: "Tell me, is he dead?" She hoped very much that he would give a negative answer, but Ruan Mingyu nodded.
"Dead?" She suddenly let out a shrill laugh, and then several things like plant roots emerged from the ground, densely covering the surrounding area, leaving no space.
"I'm telling you, no one is allowed to touch this spiritual field. This is his concern. Please get out of this clinic! I will never let you touch anything of his!"
Song Chenxi hurriedly grabbed Ruan Mingyu by the back of the collar and quickly retreated. Those tentacle-like roots chased after them and would not stop until they were driven out of the clinic.
Song Chenxi picked him up and threw him onto the safer roof, then took out his sword named "Blood Shadow" and fought with the monster.
The demon must have been cultivating for several hundred years. She originally looked like a little girl, but suddenly turned into a charming woman. Several vines grew out of her body and flew towards them.
Song Chenxi rushed into the vines with his sword in hand and was immediately surrounded by countless vines. Ruan Mingyu, standing on the roof, couldn't even see his figure clearly and couldn't help but worry for him.
The monster shouted at Ruan Mingyu who was on the beam, "Get out of here!"
A hero never suffers a loss in front of him. Ruan Mingyu wanted to run, but Song Chenxi hadn't escaped yet. Leaving like this would be too disloyal. He thought about it, gritted his teeth, jumped off the beam, and took out the sword that he hadn't used in a long time from his storage ring: "Let my brother go."
"Why do you negotiate with me?"
Vines swarmed across the sky, rapidly attacking Ruan. He raised his sword to block them. The vines pointed directly at his heart, about to pierce his flesh. At this moment, Song Chenxi slashed his sword, breaking Zhou Shen's restraints and slicing the vines apart. He pounced forward and captured the monster.
Song Chenxi, not even a hair out of place, said, "This little demon is so rampant. I know your cultivation is not easy, so I didn't want to ruin your cultivation."
Crescent Moon turned into a little girl again, rolling on the ground and crying loudly.
"You bunch of immortal cultivators only know how to bully little monsters!"
Her crying was very shrill, like the reincarnation of a devil child.
Song Chenxi couldn't stand her noise anymore, so he cast a silencing spell on her and tied her to the pillar nearby.
The surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
Ruan Mingyu was about to teach Song Chenxi a lesson, but when he looked up, he saw red lines crawling all over Song Chenxi's face again: "Brother, your face..."
He seems to have been demonized more often recently. When I was with him before, I never saw him like this...
Could something have happened to him in the secret realm?
Song Chenxi didn't want him to see him like this, so he turned around and said, "I'll take a break."
Seeing him like this, Ruan Mingyu didn't know what to say. He looked around the yard, familiarizing himself with the environment. There was a study in the backyard, which was piled with books, all of which were medical books.
Ruan Mingyu thought that this trip was not in vain. Even if he didn't buy the spiritual field, it was worth it to buy so many medical books.
It recorded the solutions to many difficult and complicated diseases. The more Ruan Mingyu read it, the more excited he became. He thought that maybe his disease could be cured and he could avoid exploding and dying.
At some point, Song Chenxi appeared behind him. Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but share the good news with him, and almost jumped up while hugging him.
"Brother, I don't seem to have to die?"
Wait, something's not right with him.
Song Chenxi's eyes were completely bloodshot, revealing an expression that didn't resemble a living person. Despite his best efforts to control himself, he now looked more like a monster than a human.
"What’s wrong with you……"
Song Chenxi pushed Ruan Mingyu into the corner. He stretched out his hands and first stroked the side of his neck.
Ruan Mingyu trembled and said, "Brother, don't do this, I'm scared..."
Song Chenxi touched his face, then lowered her head and bit his lips.
“…”
In the narrow space, their breaths intertwined, hot and aggressive.
The smell of blood filled Ruan Mingyu's mouth, and then a severe feeling of suffocation came over him.
Song Chenxi kissed Ruan Mingyu while tightening his fingers around his throat.
He wants to kill himself?
Ruan Mingyu called out weakly, trying to awaken him: "Senior Brother..."
Song Chenxi looked completely insane, transformed into a complete monster. How could this be?
At this critical moment, Ruan Mingyu suddenly recalled that in the book, the original body of the secret realm had also gone there with the purpose of killing the heartthrob. Generally speaking, if the villain is too weak, the plot will not proceed smoothly. So, in order to increase the villain's power, he was infected with a poison called delusion in the secret realm. Although it can greatly increase a person's cultivation, it also turns them into a madman who loses their mind and goes on a killing spree, leaving no one alive wherever they go.
Ruan Mingyu struggled to pry open his hands that were clasping his neck, and said breathlessly: "Song Chenxi, let me go, you don't want me to die." He wanted to pry his hands open, but the strength in his body was only enough to grab his sleeves and shake them.
Song Chenxi seemed to have his memories awakened, and his mind finally became clear.
"Little Sparrow..." He was extremely confused at that moment, like a child who had done something wrong.
Ruan Mingyu bent over and started coughing violently.
He was able to distract himself and pat Song Chenxi's shoulder: "I'm fine."
However, the next moment, Song Chenxi's eyes turned red again, and he stretched out his hand, intending to strangle Ruan Mingyu's neck again.
No way, you're coming again?!
Ruan Mingyu panicked and ran away immediately.
The monster was still tied to the pillar. Ruan Mingyu removed the silence spell and said to her, "I'll untie you. Help me tie up my brother."
Yueya made a face: "Please beg me."
Ruan Mingyu was very immoral: "Please, please, aunt, help me!"
He trembled as he untied the child. After a while, Song Chenxi caught up with him again, but the child was just playing with his hands folded.
As he spoke, Song Chenxi rushed over again. Ruan Mingyu ran while shouting, "Brother, I admit that I lied to you, but you don't have to be so ruthless. I apologize to you, don't be angry, just let me go!"
He was caught by Song Chenxi again, and Ruan Mingyu was in tears.
“Don’t kill me…”
This time Song Chenxi didn't kill him, but he hugged his waist tightly from behind, put his head on Ruan Mingyu's shoulder, and nudged him like a big furry dog. Then he pulled open Ruan Mingyu's clothes and bit his shoulder.
"It hurts!" Ruan Mingyu burst into tears. "You promised to protect me, but you still bit me, and it hurt so much!"
Song Chenxi raised his head in confusion, as if reacting to what he said.
At this moment, a vine stretched out and tied up Song Chenxi.
It was considered that the little monster had a conscience and tied Song Chenxi up tightly.
Ruan Mingyu was finally able to take a break.
"How powerful am I?" Yueya said with her hands on her hips.
"Amazing, so awesome! No monster in the world is as powerful as you."
Ruan Mingyu went over and felt Song Chenxi's pulse. Unexpectedly, he did not struggle but fell on Ruan Mingyu with his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
His pulse was very chaotic, and if he didn't get treatment, his life might be in danger. Ruan Mingyu was very confused. He was fine before entering the secret realm, so how come he became like this after coming out?
He hurried back to his study and looked through relevant books, hoping to find a solution.
Yueya suddenly appeared beside him and asked him, "I heard that you Taoists have the ability to communicate with spirits."
Ruan Mingyu replied as he flipped through the books: "If you can wake up the one who's sleeping, I'll ask him to find it for you."
"I have a solution!"
"Go away. I don't have time to mess around with you right now."
Yueya took out a booklet and said, "Zhao Ziping gave it to me. It contains many methods of alchemy. Once, a cultivator who had reached the Infant Formation stage offered him a golden elixir in exchange, but he refused."
Ruan Mingyu paused: "Let me see."
Yueya said, "You must first promise me that you will let me see him."
"Auntie, I only know how to make elixirs. I can't communicate with spirits. Give me the recipe and I'll wake him up. If he wakes up, you can ask him to do things for you. If he doesn't wake up, I really can't help you!"
Yueya thought for a moment and said, "Okay, here you go."
Ruan Mingyu took the recipe and flipped through it. There happened to be a elixir that was specifically used to treat complete loss of intelligence, which was no different from being transformed into a demon, with red lines on the face and red pupils.
Isn’t that Song Chenxi’s symptom?
Ruan Mingyu felt like he was grasping at a lifeline. His only plan now was to get Song Chenxi to wake up. If he continued in this possessed state, it would be hard to avoid his spiritual realm being annihilated. If that happened, he would be doomed.
He hurriedly prepared the herbs to make the elixir, but unfortunately, after most of the day, although all the herbs were ready, there was one herb that he could not buy no matter how hard he tried.
Ruan Mingyu had no choice but to set off to the mountains to collect herbs.
Seeing Ruan Mingyu about to leave, Yueya said, "Hey, why are you running away?"
"Please help me take care of him, I will be back soon. When he wakes up, I will definitely help you do what you want." Ruan Mingyu said.
Ruan Mingyu set out overnight to pick herbs in the mountains. He rarely used a sword, but now, in this critical situation, he had to take out his sword.
Ruan Mingyu stepped onto the sword, but because he was not very skilled, he fell down with a "bang" after flying for a while.
Ruan Mingyu's wrists were rubbed raw and the pain made his eyes tear up, but he didn't care about anything else and continued to fly his sword, finally arriving at the mountain at night.
At night, the mountain was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. Ruan Mingyu was cold and hungry, so he rubbed his hands in an attempt to warm himself up.
The grass in the mountains was lush, and snakes, rats, insects, and ants all came out at night. Ruan Mingyu suppressed his fear and searched for the last herb.
The book described the herb as having green spots all over its body, emitting a faint glow in the darkness. He searched all over the mountain for almost the entire night, finally finding the herb before dawn the next day. He climbed to the top of the mountain, and not far ahead, amidst the weeds, a thin blade of grass was blown by the wind, emitting a faint green light, its leaves swaying slightly.
Finally found it.
Despite being exhausted, Ruan Mingyu managed to smile. He quickened his pace and ran forward, but he didn't notice that his feet were hanging in the air. In the darkness, he couldn't see that there was a hillside below him, so he rolled down, his whole body aching and his arm broken.
Ruan Mingyu was very afraid of pain, tears immediately fell from his eyes, and he couldn't help sobbing.
But he still endured the pain and limped to his feet. He thought he must be in a terrible state now, with mud all over his body.
With great effort, he climbed up again. He bent down, carefully plucked the herb, and held it in his arms.
Great, Song Chenxi is saved.
Ruan Mingyu flew back on his sword, but since flying on a sword was not allowed in the town, he had to put it away and trot back.
At this time, the sky in the east was turning pale and dawn had arrived.
Ruan Mingyu quickened his pace, faster and faster.
When he was about to reach the clinic, Ruan Mingyu saw a familiar figure. Although it was just a blurry shadow, he could still recognize it. It was Song Chenxi.
Song Chenxi came over, his expression unremarkable, and asked him, "Where have you been?"
"I'll get you some medicine. When did you wake up?" Ruan Mingyu said tremblingly, "It's good that you woke up. I was afraid you wouldn't wake up..."
"Why are you in such a mess?" Seeing Ruan Mingyu limping, Song Chenxi immediately carried him on his back without asking his opinion.
"Didn't I tell you? It's to get you some medicine."
Ruan Mingyu didn't hesitate and went over to lie on his back.
Song Chenxi: "You are a fool."
Ruan Mingyu: "I'm very smart."
Song Chenxi: "You are not allowed to refute what I say."
Ruan Mingyu really didn't say anything else.
Song Chenxi: "So obedient?"
He tilted his head and found that Ruan Mingyu was very sleepy and fell asleep on his shoulder.
He murmured softly, "Go to sleep."
A very strange feeling arose in Song Chenxi's heart, itchy, making his heart beat faster, as if the most tender place in his heart was touched.
Well, he just likes Ruan Mingyu.
