Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Do You Believe I Like You?
The moment Ye Tianjiao's voice came out, the two of them moved instantly.
The red and blue sword formation opened up under their feet, and the two men drew their swords almost at the same time. There were more than a dozen lightsabers behind each of them. When the lightsabers collided with each other's lightsabers, the two men stabbed at each other with their swords at the same time.
Both of their swords were extremely fast, and they attacked simultaneously with magic each time. It was so dazzling that people subconsciously held their breath and dared not look away.
Seeing that things had come to this, Jiang Zhaoxue took a deep breath and simply sent a message to Pei Zichen: "I want a lock of his hair."
She couldn't get the sword, but since she was going to do it, she might as well get something that could better prove her identity.
However, when Pei Zichen heard this, he only swung his sword even harder without saying a word.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Zhaoxue didn't care whether she was in a cold war with him or not, and quickly explained: "There's a problem with his identity. I want to test him. Give me a lock of his hair, don't let him find out."
Pei Zichen heard the words but did not answer, as if Jiang Zhaoxue did not exist.
Jiang Zhaoxue was so angry that she laughed. She turned her head and looked around, her chest heaving violently with anger.
"Traitor," Jiang Zhaoxue cursed inwardly, gritting her teeth. "He's gone to great lengths to rebel. As expected, no one with the surname Shen is a good person."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Anan quickly comforted her, "It's not worth getting yourself upset."
"That's right."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought, how could she be so angry with herself? Only Pei Zichen would have to bear this kind of suffering.
So she turned her head to look at the field. When the fire snake shot out from the tip of Pei Xueyi's sword and bit Pei Zichen like a venomous snake, she clapped without hesitation and shouted, "Beautiful!"
Hearing this, Pei Xueyi glanced at Jiang Zhaoxue with a hint of smile in his eyes. Everyone gasped. Pei Zichen then swung his sword and slashed at Pei Xueyi's neck!
Pei Xueyi took the sword heavily, and the swords of both of them shook. The ice and snow on Pei Zichen's sword instantly cracked and turned into countless broken ice flying knives that pierced Pei Xueyi's body.
Pei Xueyi's body was on fire, and the ice knife melted, turning into snow water and extinguishing the fire. Occasionally, there were places where the fire was extinguished by the snow water. As long as the water fell on the skin, it would immediately turn into ice swords and cut the skin.
Pei Xueyi felt pain, and the fire in her body turned into a dragon and rushed towards Pei Zichen. An ice dragon also flew out from the tip of Pei Zichen's sword!
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly applauded: "Excellent!"
"Master," Anan couldn't help but say when he saw this, "Can you please stop adding fuel to the fire?"
"How can I not pour more oil on it?" Jiang Zhaoxue propped up her chin and watched the two people fighting fiercely. "If you don't pour more oil on it, how can I have a chance to get Pei Xueyi's hair?"
"How are you going to get it?" Anan asked curiously.
Jiang Zhaoxue tilted her head and chuckled: "Pei Zichen injured someone, I went to comfort the patient, what's wrong with taking some hair?"
"oh."
Anan understood and felt relieved immediately. He followed Jiang Zhaoxue to watch the two of them fight.
The two dragons collided, the sword's momentum was unstoppable, and the spiritual power of the light arrays under their feet attacked each other in waves, and the surrounding spiritual energy was trembling. Everyone watched in shock. Lei Fang hurriedly said, "Two brothers, that's enough!"
However, there was no way to stop at this time.
Ice and fire cannot coexist, one grows stronger while the other declines. Pei Zichen kept attacking, his sword became faster and faster, without showing any sign of fatigue.
He maintained even breathing with each of his sword strikes, and the speed and strength of each sword increased evenly, consuming Pei Xueyi as if everything was under his control.
Pei Xueyi sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but laugh. After receiving Pei Zichen's sword, he lowered his voice and said, "It's just a competition. Brother Shen is so angry."
"What were you and Xue'er talking about just now?"
Pei Zichen kept moving his sword and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Pei Xueyi quickly dodged his sword and laughed: "I am asking Miss Jiang whether her engagement with you is voluntary."
"What's it to you?"
"If it's not voluntary, I think I should also have a chance to fight?"
These words were spoken without any concealment. Pei Zichen raised his eyes coldly and said, "You just met her."
"I dreamed of her." Pei Xueyi said. Pei Zichen was stunned for a moment, and then saw that she said seriously, "If Brother Chen just wants an engagement, why not help him..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Zichen's sword power increased rapidly!
The lightsaber behind him suddenly turned into four swords and came out in multiples. He slashed down with one sword, and Pei Xueyi hurriedly took the sword. The moment the swords collided, Pei Xueyi's knuckles felt painful. Pei Zichen raised his foot and kicked the man out fiercely!
Pei Xueyi was kicked and fell to the ground, rubbing against the ground and flying away. The disciples of Jiange stood up in panic and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother!"
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoxue hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to catch up, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, revealing a panicked look: "Friend Pei? Friend Pei, are you okay..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Zhaoxue felt someone pulling her over. She turned around in surprise and saw it was Pei Zichen.
He forcefully dragged her towards the nearby woods. Jiang Zhaoxue reacted, frowned, and whispered, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
Pei Zichen said nothing, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions, and just dragged her deep into the forest.
He refused to let go, so how could Jiang Zhaoxue break free from him?
She could only let him drag her all the way to a deserted place. Jiang Zhaoxue finally spoke, "Is it done?"
Pei Zichen said nothing. After hearing this, he just wanted to pull her further away.
Jiang Zhaoxue's patience had reached its limit, so she simply grabbed him and shouted, "Stop it!"
Pei Zichen was pulled by her and stopped with his back to her.
Jiang Zhaoxue glared at his back and suppressed her emotions: "What on earth do you want to do by pulling me here? I'm still busy."
"What are you busy with?"
Pei Zichen finally spoke, turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhaoxue, as if he could no longer restrain himself, and asked: "Are you busy getting Pei Xueyi's hair, or are you busy meeting him?"
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, savoring the difference between the two, and said slowly and leisurely: "Why, Shen Daojun has always been concerned about the overall situation, and now he is pursuing these trivial matters?" As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, smiled and moved forward, "Since you can suppress your joy, why can't you suppress your anger? Just suppress it a little longer and it will be fine."
Pei Zichen listened, looked up in surprise, looked at the smiling person in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Xue'er..."
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Zhaoxue blinked. "Oh, when I pay attention to you, I'm Miss Jiang, and when I ignore you, I'm Xue'er? When there's no one competing for me, you let me follow Qian Sisi, but when there's competition, you can disregard your dignity? Chen Shicang," Jiang Zhaoxue's expression faded a little, poked his shoulder with her fan, and asked softly, "Who do you think I am?"
Pei Zichen listened and stared at Jiang Zhaoxue blankly before realizing, "Are you... angry?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue laughed out loud: "Why, you just found out?"
"Why?" Pei Zichen couldn't understand, "What did I do wrong?"
"Want to know?"
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Pei Zichen's sleeves, and slid the fan from his shoulder to his hand. Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Then tell me first, is Pei Xueyi's hair in your hands?"
Pei Zichen heard this, unwilling to turn around, and just said: "You speak first."
Jiang Zhaoxue knew the answer as soon as she heard it, and chuckled, "Yes?"
Pei Zichen did not respond, seeming embarrassed.
Jiang Zhaoxue was relieved to see that nothing was delayed.
Flirting shouldn't interfere with business. She turned her eyes to look at Pei Zichen's profile and said slowly, "You're being affectionate at night, but it has nothing to do with me during the day. I don't even think about it, I don't even think about it. Shi Cang, you're not like that, are you?"
"I..." Pei Zichen's face instantly turned slightly red, thinking of what happened that night, and hurriedly said, "I love you."
"You love me so much that you don't even miss me?" Jiang Zhaoxue looked at his red earlobes and suddenly felt a little interested. She blew on him gently and whispered softly, "I miss you so much."
A tingling sensation followed her breath, and Pei Zichen froze.
Seeing that he wasn't amused, Jiang Zhaoxue stood up and stepped back, tiptoeing to sit on a high tree trunk. She lowered her eyes to look at the panicked man in front of her, fanning herself as she studied him and continued, "I wanted to see you as soon as I woke up that day, but you didn't miss me at all. After finally seeing you, you still avoided me. I went looking for you at night, but you didn't even kiss me. You said you liked me, but what kind of love is that?"
"Xue'er," Pei Zichen listened, not knowing how to explain, and could only say, "This is for your own good."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue sneered. Pei Zichen said awkwardly, "My reputation doesn't matter, but I can't humiliate yours. Besides, we're not married yet, so I can't offend you...Xue'er," Pei Zichen said dryly, "Restraint is also love."
"But love that can't be felt is as good as not existing."
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke calmly, and Pei Zichen looked up in confusion. Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment, then spoke slowly, "If it were before... I might have understood you. But I met a friend of mine who had a crush on someone. He kept telling her he was doing it for her own good, that he had to consider her reputation and not offend her. At first, she believed him, but later realized... when you love someone, you can't help yourself."
Jiang Zhaoxue fanned herself and said slowly, "I miss him, I want to be close to her, I want to kiss her, I think about her all the time, I can't help but want to get close to him at every opportunity. Real emotions can't be restrained. The only thing I can restrain," Jiang Zhaoxue turned to look at Pei Zichen, "is that I still have some rationality."
Pei Zichen looked at Jiang Zhaoxue. The person on the tree was waving a fan, as if sitting on the moon, and was extremely far away from him.
Pei Zichen pursed his lips: "But, if I indulge my desires, it will hurt you."
Jiang Zhaoxue turned her head to look at him, and Pei Zichen lowered his eyes: "You and I haven't gotten married yet, I'm afraid you'll regret it."
"Are you afraid I'll regret it?" Jiang Zhaoxue laughed. "If I regret it, you'll let me go? Are you willing to do that?"
"I don't want to." Pei Zichen said hoarsely, "But I don't want to think of myself as holding you back and begging you not to leave, not cutting off your escape route and forcing you to stay."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned, and saw Pei Zichen looking up at her: "Indulgence is easier than restraint, but liking you is loving you deeply. I hope you live a good life, not just for my own selfish desires."
Jiang Zhaoxue twirled her fan, thought for a moment, and said softly, "But I don't care. A matter of mutual consent won't block my path to leaving. Even if I'm pregnant, I'll still leave."
"Xue'er..." Pei Zichen was a little embarrassed for a moment, "I won't do that."
"Let me give you an example." Jiang Zhaoxue pondered, "So you think you're doing me good, but that's just wishful thinking. And your so-called restraint is just making me feel like I'm being overly enthusiastic. I don't want restrained love, because I can't tell the difference between true and false. What I want is for someone to restrain what can't be restrained, and indulge in what shouldn't be indulged. That's the kind of love I want."
"so……"
Pei Zichen's eyes moved slightly, and he said affirmatively: "You want my love."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused fanning herself. Pei Zichen stared at her and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, smiled, turned around, and gently waved her small fan: "If you don't believe me even if I tell you, it's better not to tell you. If I do something, maybe you will believe it."
"what you up to?"
Pei Zichen looked up at her with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment, stopped fanning herself, turned around to look at him, tilted her head, and ordered, "Reach out and catch me."
The moment Jiang Zhaoxue heard this, she rolled over from the tree. Pei Zichen hurried forward, his wide white sleeves flying in the wind. As he spun around, Jiang Zhaoxue turned into a white tiger cub and was caught by him.
Pei Zichen was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue-eyed tiger cub in his hand, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Some memories flashed through his mind, but he didn't know what they were.
He only knew that he actually liked furry little animals very much, but from childhood to adulthood, he only dared to watch them from afar and did not dare to own them.
Every cultivator would keep a spiritual pet, except him.
He only dared to look at those spiritual pets from afar, and didn't even dare to touch them. As soon as he touched them, a fear of death would surge up.
However, at this moment Jiang Zhaoxue turned into a tiger cub lying in the palm of his hand.
He touched the soft touch, Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes proudly, turned over and jumped onto his chest, lying on his chest and said: "Are you happy?"
"Xue'er..."
Pei Zichen suddenly felt his eyes sore.
For the first time in his life, he felt as if he was truly embraced by someone in this world.
In fact, this was not the first time he was hugged.
She had hugged him many times in the past, and his elders, relatives and friends had also hugged him.
But he always felt that he was all alone in this world, until this moment, when Jiang Zhaoxue leaned on his shoulder and took credit, "I know what you like, and I want to make you happy. I will miss you, and I will try my best to say every word to you. I will want to tell the whole world that we are together, and I will look forward to you, just like me. You asked me why I look forward to it, do you know now? I like you."
Jiang Zhaoxue said seriously, lying lightly in his arms: "Do you understand?"
Pei Zichen listened, lowered his eyes, and replied softly: "I understand."
"Don't talk about rules anymore. Don't look so dead. It makes me upset." Jiang Zhaoxue closed her eyes and began to make demands. "Do whatever you want. If you can't do it well, it proves that you don't like me enough!"
Pei Zichen couldn't help but want to laugh. He held Jiang Zhaoxue and sat on a fallen tree trunk beside him. His fingers, somewhat unfamiliar yet strangely familiar, traced the black and white striped hair on her back. He replied softly, "I understand."
"Do you still want to hug?"
Seeing that he had coaxed her well, Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little relieved. She rested her chin on his shoulder and closed her eyes comfortably.
She guessed that Pei Zichen must be afraid to keep a pet because of Pang Pang, but he still liked it in his heart. Even after entering the illusion, he retained his original personality.
I originally thought that if he still wanted to be hugged, I would let him hold me for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zichen pursed his lips, and after a moment, he whispered, "I want to hug you even more."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, opened her eyes in surprise, and turned to look at him.
Anan also screamed: "Is this something I can hear?!"
Pei Zichen noticed Jiang Zhaoxue's gaze, and he felt as if he had been cooked. He quickly explained: "I... I mean..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Zhaoxue had already transformed into a human form and sat astride him.
Pei Zichen froze, but Jiang Zhaoxue was amused by him. She put her arms around his neck and leaned forward to tease him, "Is this how you hug me?"
Pei Zichen's Adam's apple moved slightly when he heard what she said. He put his arm around her waist and pressed her into his arms.
The two of them hugged each other in silence for a while. Jiang Zhaoxue felt that it was enough, so she said, "Now that you've hugged enough, remember to get down to business. Give me Pei Xueyi's hair."
Pei Zichen paused and said nothing.
Jiang Zhaoxue was surprised: "Why, you are not lying to me, are you?"
"How...how do you want to test it?"
Pei Zichen spoke in a muffled voice, and Jiang Zhaoxue said directly: "Give me the hair, I want to verify his identity."
"Could you please not touch it?"
Pei Zichen whispered, and Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. She couldn't help but ask, "You can't even touch my hair?"
Pei Zichen seemed to feel that he had gone too far. After a long silence, he took a deep breath and finally let go of Jiang Zhaoxue. He took Pei Xueyi's hair from his sleeve, put it in his handkerchief, handed it to her, and said coldly, "Just touch it like this."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "..."
But Jiang Zhaoxue was too lazy to argue with him.
She picked up the handkerchief, stood up and went to the open space, drew a formation on the spot, and poured her hair into the formation. Jiang Zhaoxue put her fingers in front of her lips and chanted the incantation.
After a moment, the hair started burning in the formation and green smoke rose.
Pei Zichen and Jiang Zhaoxue looked up and saw that the green smoke had transformed into a dragon with only three claws in mid-air.
Looking at this three-clawed dragon, Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen frowned.
"Yin Zhulong?"
Jiang Zhaoxue was a little bit incredulous, and so was Pei Zichen.
"He shouldn't have come out yet." Pei Zichen muttered in thought, "How could it be..."
Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent, pondering silently. When she first met Pei Xueyi, his name, his appearance, and the dreams he'd told her about, all made her think he and Pei Zichen were inextricably linked. The fact that she'd dreamt about him in particular made her think that perhaps Pei Xueyi had come from beyond the realm of illusion, and perhaps even another identity for Pei Zichen.
That's why she kept pursuing Pei Xueyi's identity, because she was afraid that if he was Pei Zichen's other identity, then if she wanted Pei Zichen to wake up, her soul must be restored.
But now, this person is actually Yin Zhulong?
Was he a transformation of Yin Zhu Long from the beginning, or was he parasitized by Yin Zhu Long?
Jiang Zhaoxue was thinking about the characteristics of the Yin Zhulong. The Yin Zhulong could split infinitely and reproduce countless disciples. If these split little Zhulongs were placed in a human body, they could control the other party and absorb abilities from the other party.
The more dragonlets he created that parasitized others, the stronger he became. However, the dragonlets were hidden but weak, so once they were discovered, they were easy to kill.
"The one currently inside Pei Xueyi's body should be Yin Zhulong's soul," Jiang Zhaoxue pondered. "His true form probably hasn't emerged yet, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet. Furthermore, if his true form could awaken, his strength wouldn't require him to do this. Right now, he should be using his soul to parasitize his disciples, then looking for an opportunity to release the split dragonlets he created onto all of them."
"When he is officially born, these disciples will all become his helpers."
Pei Zichen understood and said with a stern look: "I must report this to Master immediately."
"Wait!" Jiang Zhaoxue thought, looking up at him, "How can you be sure that your master hasn't been parasitized by him?"
Pei Zichen paused after hearing this. He thought for a moment and said, "If his ability could parasitize my master, he wouldn't be lying in wait around us like this."
"Because I'm here." Jiang Zhaoxue reminded him, "Your master may not be as strong as me."
Pei Zichen knew that Jiang Zhaoxue was telling the truth. No one could predict the strength limit of a fortune teller. With his protection, Jiang Zhaoxue could perform to his full potential at any time. Even Yin Zhulong would not dare to gamble.
Pei Zichen thought: "What should I do then?"
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment and said slowly, "When a Yin Candle Dragon splits, it actually causes a loss to its main body. However, after parasitizing someone, it can replenish its energy, so it is keen to parasitize more people. If we set up a magic array to kill Yin Candle Dragons in the bodies of all our disciples, hiding it within them, and then let this Yin Candle Dragon continue to split and parasitize, we can weaken its power. When we reach Emei Ruins, when it attacks, we will also attack and destroy all the young dragons it is parasitizing, and we can severely damage it on the spot." Jiang Zhaoxue smiled, "It's a good deal."
"Then..." Pei Zichen frowned, "If he finds that he can't draw energy from these parasitic bodies, will he continue to split and parasitize them?"
"If we can't continue, then our goal has been achieved, hasn't it?" Jiang Zhaoxue asked directly, "Shuzhong doesn't intend to let us eliminate Yin Zhulong alone, right?"
Pei Zichen laughed when he heard this: "Of course not."
"Then all we need to do now is to fill the bodies of all the Shuzhong disciples with the magic array that can kill Yin Zhulong."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and immediately said, "Call Ye Tianjiao in."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen did not move.
Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes: "What for? Are you on guard against him even when he's like that?"
"You and him..." Pei Zichen hesitated, "What is your relationship with him? Why do you remember him but not me?"
Jiang Zhaoxue almost suffocated when she heard this, and immediately said, "Because this is an illusion."
"You lied to me again."
Okay, that doesn't make sense.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately said: "Because I don't remember him, I calculated that he can be useful to you."
"To me?" Pei Zichen was suspicious, and Jiang Zhaoxue nodded.
"Yes, he is the noble man who changed your fate. Shi Cang, for you, I must get close to him."
"So that's how it is..." Pei Zichen thought.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it, then stood up, hugged Pei Zichen and kissed him.
Pei Zichen paused, turned his head and said, "That's not necessary."
"Hurry up and get him in!" Jiang Zhaoxue urged, "We have to go back and apologize to Pei Xueyi later. I hit her too hard."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen turned his head, looking somewhat unwilling: "Yeah."
But he immediately sent a message to Qian Sisi, asking him to bring Ye Tianjiao over.
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at him and sneered with Anan.
"You can't say you don't need to, but you still have to kiss me to get it done."
Anan was a little confused by what he said: "You guys..." It murmured, "Are you guys reconciled? He... He believes that you like him?"
"Should I believe it now?"
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned: "I work so hard."
"What have you worked hard for?"
Anan was at a loss.
Jiang Zhao gave it a cold look. "Playing hard to get, suppressing before praising, using a big stick and a sweet date, pulling and tugging, the beauty's scheme. I've almost used all thirty-six strategies, and you still tell me why I'm working so hard? You told him straight up that he didn't believe you, and now you're trying so hard to persuade him, he should believe you this time, right?"
Anan listened and slowly savored it.
It looked uneasily at Jiang Zhaoxue who was drawing the formation next to it, and said cautiously, "Master..."
"Um?"
"Don't let your lies get you into trouble."
Jiang Zhaoxue paused, and Anan muttered softly, "You're not trying to make him feel that you love him, you're trying to teach him how to love you. You're teaching him too well, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and sneered, "It's already an illusion, and I still have to beg him? He pleases me, so I act naturally! Anyway, I'll forget about it when I get out." Jiang Zhaoxue focused on drawing the formation, "It's all the same."
