Chapter 12: Fairy Shengle (4)
The aloof goddess on the battlefield in Qilang's mind and the shy girl in front of him overlapped for a moment, causing some subtle ripples in his heart.
She seemed out of reach, but at this moment, she seemed to be within reach.
"I..." When Qilang was asked this by Li Yuanying, he didn't know how to answer, because he approached her only to complete the task assigned to him by the Emperor.
"Young Master!" When Qilang was still thinking about how to answer, a woman's voice rang out. He looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Bingyi.
Behind Bingyi followed Li Yuanying's "useless" senior brother, Zhang Qingchen. Seeing this man, Qilang felt a surge of anxiety.
"Senior Brother?" Li Yuanying also discovered Zhang Qingchen.
"Wanwan, I'm late." Zhang Qingchen looked at Li Yuanying with concern. "Are you okay?"
Li Yuanying shook her head and Qilang snorted coldly. This man was just as he said. Apart from asking about her well-being, he did nothing of substance.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Bingyi also asked with concern, but she no longer called Qilang "Your Highness", but called him "Young Master".
Li Yuanying watched the master and servant continue to act with an expression of seeing through everything but not saying anything.
"It's okay." Qilang said calmly, "Why are you here?"
"We..." Zhang Qingchen looked at Bingyi with embarrassment, then looked at Li Yuanying.
"Brother Zhang, a man should be open and honest. Why are you so coy?" Qilang said sarcastically.
"We have fallen into an illusion... We need to act according to the plot in the illusion in order to break it." After saying this, Zhang Qingchen seemed to find it difficult to continue.
"Senior brother, you turned into the fairy Shengle, and this sister turned into the young man who borrowed eyes?" Li Yuanying guessed about 80% of it.
"Almost. But I am the Fairy Shengle." Bingyi's face was full of anger and he seemed very unhappy.
Zhang Qingchen glanced at Bingyi with some embarrassment, then at Li Yuanying: "We tried. If we want to escape this illusion, we must first dig out Fairy Shengle's eyes. But if we want to obtain these eyes..."
"Brother, you can speak freely."
"If you want to get this pair of eyes, you must make Fairy Shengle fall in love with them. Otherwise, you can't dig them out by force." Zhang Qingchen's face turned slightly red. When he said this, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Sir, we have indeed tried it. If I don't use the demon...ah, I mean the spiritual energy to maintain my true body, I will become the appearance of Fairy Shengle. If Brother Zhang comes to dig out my eyes now, it will not hurt my body, but it seems that it is locked by some force and cannot be dug out at all." Bingyi stepped forward and saluted Qilang respectfully, and then said solemnly.
"waste."
Qilang closed his eyes, quenching the demonic energy within him. Then, he allowed the illusion to slowly consume him, transforming him into the form of the Fairy Shengle. Shengle was the Nine Heavens' celestial being, responsible for marriage and child-rearing. Consequently, many people from Chang'an flocked to Shengle Township to pray for children and blessings. However, after the first year of Yongning, the area became tainted by demonic energy, degenerating into a land of smoky willows.
Fairy Shengle is the most beautiful fairy in the Nine Heavens. She has a pair of dreamy eyes, in which you can see all the beautiful illusions.
Qilang transformed into the Fairy Shengle, who had a more evil charm, making people even more salivating.
He stretched out his right hand, and a ball of ice-blue flame ignited. Then, he inserted it straight into his own eyes. A golden light flashed, as if there was a powerful seal on the eyes of Fairy Shengle. Sparks flew everywhere, and Qilang felt pain and had to stop.
This is actually the seal of the immortal family! Qilang frowned.
"Qillang, Bingyi and I have tried many times but to no avail. We have also tried to break out of this illusion, but there are also immortal seals outside, so we can only enter but not exit." Zhang Qingchen added.
"If you want to break this situation, you must get rid of your obsession. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it." Li Yuanying remembered these words when she just entered the illusion.
"Yes, we saw this sentence when we came in."
Li Yuanying thought for a moment, then said, "Then I'll have to ask Qilang to tell me that this sister has fallen in love with me."
Her expression was very serious, and she looked charming but unaware of herself. Qilang didn't know for a moment whether she was joking or serious.
If she was joking, her expression didn't seem right. But if she was serious, she...how could a woman like her say that so easily? Qilang felt his heartbeat quicken.
"To him?! How could I possibly be attracted to this pretty boy?" Bingyi yelled, waving her hands in disgust.
"It's not completely impossible." Li Yuanying glanced at Zhang Qingchen.
Zhang Qingchen looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "Wanwan, you mean, gold foil?"
Li Yuanying nodded and took out a thin piece of gold foil from her sleeve pocket: "As long as I plate the gold foil on your chests, you will naturally be tempted."
"This..." Bingyi glanced at Qilang and was a little hesitant.
Qilang had a look of disdain on his face: "A little piece of gold foil can make me moved? I am a little curious."
Li Yuanying smiled slightly without saying anything. Qilang was good in everything except his talk, which was even more stubborn than anything else. Even the sword that the Gu family had forged for 49 days pales in comparison.
"Since you are willing to give it a try, I will give it a try too." Bingyi was no longer as indecisive as before.
The four of them stood in pairs. When Li Yuanying just brought the gold foil close to Qilang's heart, the gold foil seemed to be summoned. It flew into Qilang's collar, penetrated his skin, and entered his body. After a flash of golden light, it was absorbed.
The same situation also happened to Bingyi and Zhang Qingchen.
"Qillang, how do you feel now?" Li Yuanying looked at the man in front of her. He had a high nose bridge, pretty eyebrows, and black hair like a waterfall. He was more handsome than a woman.
Qilang covered his chest and felt it. It seemed that there was no difference from before. It seemed that the gold foil was just a bluff.
"I don't feel anything!" Bingyi touched her chest, "Isn't this a lie?"
After saying that, Bingyi moved closer to Zhang Qingchen again. Zhang Qingchen didn't expect her to be so close to him. He suddenly panicked, took two steps back, and almost fell down.
"Look, I still hate you as much, there's no difference." Bingyi pinched his chin, and his high-tied hair fluttered, making him as handsome as a teenager, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"The gods are bewitched and made to fall into the trap of spring, false feelings deceive the eyes." Li Yuanying muttered to herself, as if she understood the purpose of this illusion, which was to realistically interpret all these details.
"Qilang, it seems that the gold foil is just a lie." Li Yuanying sighed slightly, "If one of us can really get out, I hope that person is you."
She raised her eyes to look at Qilang, her eyes moistened, the sunlight gilding a thin layer of light on her water spirit: "If you were alone, I think you would have a way to get out."
"Just leave me alone."
