Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Happy New Year from the Tentacle Department
(Revising chapters 61-63. If you don't want to read too much, you can read the last few sentences of the previous chapter and then refer to this chapter for the revised summary)
Jiang Zhaoxue listened to Anan's words and wanted her to shut up and not make her more nervous.
But she was powerless. She stared at Pei Zichen intently, suppressing her guilty conscience. She pretended to be indifferent and puzzled as usual and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Zichen didn't say anything after hearing what he said. After thinking for a moment, he stood up, took the coat from the screen beside him, walked to Jiang Zhaoxue, raised his hand and put the coat on Jiang Zhaoxue.
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. She looked at the young man in front of her as he lowered his eyes to tie her belt. He whispered, "It's a cold winter night. Put it on and talk."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare to respond.
They had done this action countless times in the illusion, but when Pei Zichen took action this moment, she realized that the illusion was still an illusion after all, and there was still some difference between it and reality.
She felt a little nervous when she felt the person standing in front of her.
She forced herself to feign composure, but couldn't muster the nerve to speak. She could only say coldly, "Is there anything you can't say outside? Are there any rules for coming here in the middle of the night?"
Hearing Jiang Zhaoxue's words, Pei Zichen paused, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhaoxue.
Jiang Zhaoxue became increasingly nervous. Just as she was about to say something to cover up her guilt, Pei Zichen asked, "Is it because Master has returned?"
"What kind of nonsense is he asking?"
When Anan heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "What does it have to do with him whether Shen Yuqing comes back or not?"
Jiang Zhaoxue felt Pei Zichen was trying to trick her and immediately asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean the master is back?"
Jiang Zhaoxue recalled how she looked before entering the illusion and pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Zichen looked at her without saying a word.
Jiang Zhaoxue's appearance was nothing like the one in the illusion.
They were too close, and Jiang Zhaoxue was a little nervous. She pretended to be nonchalant as she slid past Pei Zichen and walked to the side to pour tea.
Pei Zichen turned his eyes to watch her movements and listened to her words: "What on earth do you want to say to me in the middle of the night?"
"I want to take you away."
Pei Zichen suddenly spoke, and Jiang Zhaoxue's hand, which was pouring tea, trembled in fear, but she immediately suppressed it and asked calmly, "Reason?"
"Master treats you badly." Pei Zichen's tone seemed a little tired. "He's not worth it. You're not happy in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. I'll take you away. After a few years, you'll realize the vastness of the world and forget about him."
"What about the artifact?"
Seeing that his mind was full of nonsense, Jiang Zhaoxue went straight to the point: "For such a trivial matter, you're giving up the artifact?"
"I'll get it myself."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zichen's expression suddenly turned colder, and he said seriously: "I don't need his help to get the artifact."
"But he will trip you up."
When Jiang Zhaoxue heard this, she laughed at his naivety.
The artifacts must belong to Pei Zichen, but Shen Yuqing will cause him trouble.
In the book, he was chased by people sent by the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion several times and almost died. A lot of his relatives and friends died, but he would not die. But now she is a cannon fodder beside him and must consider her own life.
Thinking about the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Zhaoxue quickly said: "Besides, whether I am living a good life or not is not for you to judge, but for me. I don't want to forget him, so why should I forget him?"
"Then how could you forget me?!"
Pei Zichen couldn't help but blurt out.
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned. She knew what he was talking about, but she pretended not to know. She asked in confusion, "What did you say? What did I forget?"
Pei Zichen knew he had lost his composure when he heard this. He turned his head away, trying his best to control himself, and whispered, "I'm sorry...disciple...disciple just can't figure it out."
"What's the matter?"
Jiang Zhaoxue sat on the chair, somewhat afraid to look at him.
Pei Zichen was silent for a moment. He thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to Jiang Zhaoxue. He half-knelt down, raised his hand with the marriage rope, and whispered, "My Lady, I am married."
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat, and she feigned surprise, "Marriage? When did it happen?"
"In the illusion of the Lingxu fan," Pei Zichen whispered, "I met someone I really liked. She might... just like me a little bit. But we got married."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, her eyes flickering slightly. She knew what he meant, but still asked, "So?"
"I just want to know..."
Pei Zichen raised his eyes and looked at her with some pain: "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, and felt the joy of spreading his wings lightly. After waking up from the dream, even if the butterfly's wings are gone, the feeling still remains. What then?"
"Since it's just a dream," Jiang Zhaoxue looked into those dark purple eyes, secretly curled up her fingers, and asked, "How do you know if it's true?"
Pei Zichen was stunned for a moment, then said fiercely: "I know! I know it's true!"
"So what?" Jiang Zhaoxue looked at him and continued, "I don't know what you encountered in the illusion, but I know that the illusion of the Lingxu Fan does not retain memories. When it comes to love, you love not only the person, but more importantly, the memories you have shared together. If the memories are gone, how can the person you love still exist?"
Pei Zichen listened, his breathing quickening. He stared intently at Jiang Zhaoxue, who lowered her eyes with pity. She looked at the marriage rope in his hand and said calmly, "Zichen, the path of cultivation is long, and you will meet many people. But people have their limits, and even the strings of a zither have their strings broken. There's no need to be too obsessed."
"Then why are you so persistent?!"
Pei Zichen couldn't help but ask, "You've been obsessed with Master for two hundred years, why don't you let go?!"
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned and a little embarrassed for a moment. She coughed lightly and said, "The situation between him and me... is quite complicated. You are still young, so don't get involved. I appreciate your kindness." Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes and smiled sincerely, "But your master and I have our own destiny. Just take care of yourself."
Pei Zichen was speechless. He looked at the person in front of him and felt that the rope of marriage on his finger seemed to have warmed up, burning hot and painful.
When Jiang Zhaoxue saw that he didn't say anything, she knew it was almost time.
She looked at him doubtfully and asked curiously, "Are you looking for me because of what happened in the illusion?"
Pei Zichen remained silent. Jiang Zhaoxue laughed and jokingly asked, "You're not going to marry Qian Sisi, are you?"
Pei Zichen laughed when he heard this, tears welling up in his eyes, but he smiled along with Jiang Zhaoxue and said, "Why don't you guess Ye Tianjiao?"
Jiang Zhaoxue felt a little frightened by his smile, and a pain slowly surfaced from deep within her. She still said jokingly, "That's indeed an idea."
"No."
Pei Zichen shook his head: "It's not them." Pei Zichen smiled and said seriously, "It's someone in the illusion, a very good girl who loves me very much."
As he spoke, tears began to flow. He looked up at Jiang Zhaoxue's face and said in a hoarse voice, "In this illusion, I was the most outstanding disciple of Wenjian Villa. My master was very kind to me, and I had many loyal fellow disciples. In the most dangerous times, I rescued them all. I also married someone I liked and who liked me. We were childhood sweethearts, accompanied by each other since childhood. We were an upright and honorable Taoist couple. She liked me, very much. The moment before she came out, she kept saying that she liked me. I am loved."
Pei Zichen looked at Jiang Zhaoxue greedily, as if he was looking at her for the last time: "Master's Wife, I have someone who loves me. I have no regrets."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened without saying anything. She looked at his tears and her heart trembled.
But she still gritted her teeth, raised her hand and held his hand, and said seriously: "It's over, don't be sad. Your good days are in the future."
Pei Zichen listened and asked doubtfully: "A good day?"
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded: "You will have someone who loves you, and you will have everything you want."
"Got the artifact, huh?"
Pei Zichen seemed to have seen through Jiang Zhaoxue's thoughts. He smiled coldly and asked, "Can you combine the five divine artifacts into one, reverse the fate of the True Immortal Realm, glorify the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, and become the best successor to Master?"
"That's right." Jiang Zhaoxue felt inexplicably guilty, but still said, "Which swordsman wouldn't want a life like this?"
"Such a person..." Pei Zichen thought, "Like Master?"
Jiang Zhaoxue froze. Pei Zichen continued, "Will Master's Wife always keep an eye on someone like this? Like she keeps an eye on Master?"
"It's over."
After listening for a long time, Anan couldn't help but say, "He doesn't look right, he seems a little crazy."
Jiang Zhaoxue smiled awkwardly, then turned around and asked, "Why are you talking about your master?"
Pei Zichen looked at her with a smile and said gently, "Because I want to be like my master, and I also want to be watched by my master's wife."
"ha……"
Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't tell whether Pei Zichen was speaking in anger or seriously, so she could only say awkwardly, "Then you have to work hard."
"Disciple will work hard."
Pei Zichen half-knelt in front of Jiang Zhaoxue, looked up at her, and said seriously: "This disciple will definitely be better than Master, and will never let Master's wife down."
"That's good."
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded and looked awkwardly toward the window. "It's good that you figured it out. Go back to sleep. Don't come over here at night in the future."
Pei Zichen was stunned by what he said. After a moment, a short laugh escaped from his throat. He raised his head and said gently, "Master's wife is indeed different since Master came back."
As he spoke, he stood up and said softly, "My master's wife once told me that as long as you have a clear conscience, you don't have to abide by these rules."
"I……"
"But I understand. I was young at that time."
Pei Zichen interrupted her, slowly regaining his usual gentle demeanor, and nodded, saying, "Master's wife, don't worry. Tonight is my first time coming out of the illusion, and my emotions are hard to control. I just lost my composure. Thank you for your comfort." Pei Zichen stood up, raised his hand in greeting, and said respectfully, "I hope Master's wife will forgive me."
"Oh, little thing."
Seeing Pei Zichen calm down, Jiang Zhaoxue felt relieved and nodded, "You are still young, so it is naturally difficult for you to withstand the illusion created by the Lingxu Fan."
Pei Zichen stood aside, his eyes lowered, and he said nothing. Jiang Zhaoxue slowed down, raised his hand, and said, "Go back."
"yes."
Pei Zichen bowed his head and then said goodbye respectfully before walking through the wall to the side.
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the still shaking wall and couldn't help cursing inwardly.
He really does the most outrageous things in the most decent way.
Why didn’t I see him as this kind of person when I was a kid!
She took a deep breath and sipped her tea to slow down.
Anan looked at the window with some sadness and whispered, "Tell me... is he very sad?"
"It's definitely going to be sad."
As soon as Pei Zichen left, Jiang Zhaoxue felt as if her soul had been taken away. She clutched the cup in her hand and said bewilderedly, "How can I not be sad?"
But what can I do if I'm sad?
She had to open the Soul Locking Formation to get the Heavenly Jade. She had anticipated today's situation. If she had to give up her original plan because of soft-heartedness and sadness, why bother starting it?
There are many sad things in a person's life.
Life is just a speck of dust in the universe and can disappear in half an hour. What does love matter?
Jiang Zhaoxue chuckled and lowered her head to drink tea.
Anan saw her expression and sighed, "You are so cruel. He must think you have forgotten everything now. From now on, your marriage is completely over."
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoxue responded casually, as if he didn't care at all.
Seeing this, Anan flew to the bed. When he passed by Jiang Zhaoxue, he couldn't help but pat her head with his wings.
Jiang Zhaoxue was slapped by it and immediately became anxious. She shouted angrily: "You are rebelling!"
"I didn't mean to!" Anan immediately said confidently, "I was just passing by!"
"I don't know you yet?"
Jiang Zhaoxue picked up a feather duster from the side and wanted to hit Anan.
Anan quickly flew away, and Jiang Zhaoxue hurriedly passed by the bed. The moment she passed by the side of the bed, black air flew out from the bed like tentacles, covered her mouth, blocked her eyes, and strangled her limbs. He threw her into the air with a fierce yet gentle touch, without hurting her at all but making her irresistible, and then suddenly dragged her into the bed, locking her on the bed in an instant!
The black energy invaded her soul for a moment, but was eliminated as soon as it entered her sea of consciousness.
Jiang Zhaoxue instantly recognized that this was the power of the Lingxu fan. If someone else encountered this kind of attack, they would definitely lose consciousness immediately.
Can……
She is also the owner of the Lingxu Fan.
A divine weapon cannot attack its own owner, but Lingxu Fan would probably find it difficult to detect this.
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't know what they were going to do, so she could only cooperate with Pei Zichen and pretend to be unconscious.
She lay quietly on the bed, unable to see anything. Her limbs were entangled to the bed by tentacle-like black energy, and her mouth and eyes were covered. She seemed to hear the faint sound of bed curtains falling, and then she felt the Nine Netherworld Realm skills filling the entire room, forming a barrier, as if taking her to another dimension.
This is the ability of the Yuanluo bow, which creates its own space.
Being unable to see made all her senses extremely sensitive, and Jiang Zhaoxue could clearly discern everything Pei Zichen did.
After everything was arranged, she finally heard the sound of the door opening, followed by familiar footsteps, coming from far away and getting closer. When they reached the bed, she heard the sound of the curtains rolling up, and then she heard the other party stop moving.
The other party seemed to be stunned. Jiang Zhaoxue didn't dare to speak. After a moment, she felt cold fingers gently falling on her cheek.
The black energy covering her mouth dissipated, and his fingertips slid from her face to her lips, gently pressing against her lips.
"You know what?" Pei Zichen's voice rang out, his emotion unrecognizable. His finger flicked down from his lips. He leaned down slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "When you're nervous, you'll look for water everywhere."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "..."
You can also discover this kind of details. My friend, why don’t you go to the government office to handle cases and benefit the people!
She wanted to curse in her heart, but she could only pretend to be unconscious.
Pei Zichen's fingertips stopped on her carotid artery and pressed gently on it. Jiang Zhaoxue immediately controlled her heartbeat.
Pei Zichen seemed unaware, only feeling her pulse, and said slowly: "I don't believe you forgot. If you forgot, why did you look at me?"
I was wrong.
I was really wrong.
Jiang Zhaoxue wanted to cry and wanted to slap herself to death a few hours ago.
Pei Zichen seemed to sense her emotions, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and at that moment, he chuckled.
Then she heard him whisper, "Do you remember what you promised me when you coaxed me down from Wenjian Villa?"
What? What did you promise?
Jiang Zhaoxue's mind was in a mess. He was too close to her, his breath surrounding her. He saw her lips slightly open and looked at her carefully.
He wondered if she was awake.
She didn't know if he knew she was awake.
She only heard the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, and then he gently held her chin, forcing her to look up to meet him, and gently kissed her lips that had already been rubbed red by him.
He raised his hand and inserted it between her fingers. Brilliant fireworks suddenly appeared before her eyes. Her breathing quickened as she heard Pei Zichen's hoarse voice blessing her:
"Happy New Year, Yaoyao."
*** ***
As fireworks burst into life, lighting up the sky, in the dim cave, Silla Yi was soaked in a pool of blood, gasping for breath.
Her body was covered in wounds. Song Wu Lan sat on a rock, opening and closing his folding fan, laughing and mocking, "I told you long ago, you can't just eat that child if you want. Those with great luck must destroy their own karma before their luck can be taken away by others. This has caused trouble, hasn't it? Do you think you can take the sword of a Mahayana Immortal Lord?"
Hearing this, Silla Yi instantly roared like a wild beast, as if scolding Song Wulan.
Song Wulan raised his eyelids and said, "You have no brains, but you have a bad temper. Last time, you gave the Yuanluo Bow to someone else, and now you still haven't got the Lingxu Fan... You have to become stronger, Luoyi."
Song Wu Lan tapped his cheek and said slowly, "My strength is limited, so I can only rely on you. I have to fatten you up. Although Song Wu Ya is stupid, he gave me some inspiration... Back then, he gave you 200,000 people so that you could destroy the Shuzhong Immortal Dao. What do you say... I want to sacrifice a million people to you?"
When Silla Yi heard this, she instantly became excited and hissed to express her happiness.
Song Wu Lan seemed to think he had come up with a good idea. He tapped the stone and said, "Anyway, the true dragon luck of this country has been destroyed. There is no god to protect it. It is easy to create a purgatory on earth. It is wonderful, really wonderful!"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Belated Happy New Year TT
After revising several versions, I finally got here.
Li Xiuji is not dead, don't worry. All the key figures will meet again in 1000 years.
【Small Theater】
Jiang Zhaoxue: "Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year. Can you villains take a break?"
Song Wulan: "Never rest! We work all year round!!"
Silla Yi: “Become bigger and stronger! Hiss ...
Modifications:
In Chapter 1.61, Li Xiu Ji is changed into a young man whose tongue is cut and whose face is so stained with mud that his appearance cannot be distinguished. In other words, Jiang Zhaoxue now has no idea that the child asking for help is Li Xiu Ji.
In Chapter 2.61, when Pei Zichen watched the soul of Wenjian Villa leave, Jiang Zhaoxue thought that these people in the illusion were Pei Zichen's fellow disciples, so she couldn't help but want to comfort him and stare at him. Pei Zichen discovered that and suspected that she remembered what happened in the illusion.
In Chapter 3.62, the content of Shen Yuqing's alliance with the heroine changes from "getting Jiang Zhaoxue to confirm her willingness to be with Shen Yuqing" to a bet between Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing. During their journey together, Shen Yuqing will always unconditionally choose Jiang Zhaoxue. If she chooses Mu Jinyue more than three times, she will lose. She will automatically leave, unlock the Dao Couple Contract, return all property, both spiritual veins, return the soul lamp of Pei Zichen's disciple, and open Jianshan to give Penglai 100 famous swords. The core reason Jiang Zhaoxue chose to make this bet was that she foresaw that in this plot, Mu Jinyue would be in danger many times in the original book, and Shen Yuqing would not give up on her.
In Chapter 4.63, Jiang Zhaoxue is added to search for the mysterious child, and then finds Xin Luoyi. The four of them chase Xin Luoyi together. When Shen Yuqing almost kills Xin Luoyi, Mu Jinyue suddenly falls ill, causing Xin Luoyi to escape. Jiang Zhaoxue mistakenly thinks that the child has been killed by Xin Luoyi.
In Chapter 5.63, the scene where Pei Zichen makes the bed was deleted.
