Chapter 13: Fairy Shengle (5)
Qilang pursed his lips slightly. Seeing the girl so charming, he was distracted for a moment, but he quickly regained his senses. Li Yuanying must be deceiving him because of the words she just recited silently, "Poisoning the gods to ruin springtime, false feelings to deceive the eyes."
"Wanwan, you are a little confused about the priorities now." Qilang had a smile on his face, with a hint of cunning.
"Why did Qillang say that?" Li Yuanying asked in confusion.
"Look, what you said just now was, 'To deceive the eyes by poisoning the gods, to deceive the eyes by false feelings'. 'To deceive the eyes' comes first, and then 'to deceive the eyes'. So, shouldn't we enjoy the spring scenery first?" Qilang raised his eyebrows and smiled even more.
"You!" Li Yuanying's cheeks suddenly turned red. This Qilang was really getting too much!
Li Yuanying had long heard of a demonic tribe living in Buzhou Mountain, whose kingdom was called Wanqiu. Folk legend had it that this was the final resting place of Fuxi, and that his descendants now lived there. This folklore was likely based on misinformation, and it was likely that these descendants of Fuxi were snake demons.
When Qilang was captured, she hid behind a screen and heard the conversation between her father and the servants. Qilang was captured from Mount Buzhou, and this location matched the legend. In addition, the woman in red called Qilang "Your Highness", so Li Yuanying felt that it was almost certain.
After all, Mount Buzhou is a sacred mountain that reaches the sky, with snow-capped mountains and steep ridges that are inaccessible to humans. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Qilang to be a human on Mount Buzhou. Not to mention, the various strange phenomena that have happened to him during the past few days have further confirmed this point.
Since it is a snake, it has its own weaknesses.
Li Yuanying calmed down, looked at Qilang, and smiled faintly: "I was negligent. Qilang is right. There must be spring first, and then there is deception."
She walked towards Qilang and saw that the young man was a little panicked, and his ears turned red. But Li Yuanying was not going to let him escape. She put her arms around his waist and pinched the snake's weak spot hard.
Qi Lang was indeed horrified. He groaned in pain and reached out for Li Yuanying's hand. Bing Yi also became anxious: "What are you doing? Let go of the master!"
"Annoying." Li Yuanying felt that the woman in red was really noisy. It seemed that she thought that if a tiger doesn't show its power, then this lady is a sick cat?
Li Yuanying waved her sleeves and said, "The candlelight is full of evil, and the dead tree is full of ghosts. The sound of weeping blood makes people panic, and the souls are sad in the endless night."
A blood-red halo spread out, enveloping Bingyi. A black shadow emerged from the ground, baring its fangs and claws, with a hideous face, like an evil ghost breaking out of hell, swallowing Bingyi and trapping him inside.
After swallowing Bingyi, before Zhang Qingchen could react, another black smoke rushed towards him and trapped him in it.
"Oh?" Qi Lang, ignoring the soreness and pain in his waist, sighed with interest, "So our incomparably holy goddess actually knows such a lowly ancient forbidden technique."
Li Yuanying had long discovered that her Li family's Taoist magic could not be used in this joyful illusion where the demon and the god merged together, but this did not pose a problem for her, as she also knew some unconventional methods that her father had forbidden her to use.
So, when Qilang used this kind of magic on her, she instantly realized what it was.
Qilang felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more magical. What was there about her that he didn't know?
He suddenly felt Li Yuanying's grip tighten, and his legs began to go limp. Could this woman really be...
"Qillang, now you realize that the wife you married is not a good person. Do you regret it?" The innocence in Li Yuanying's eyes disappeared, replaced by a chilling coldness.
Qi Lang sneered. He understood what the girl was planning. "I've always wondered why you rushed to Shengle Township in the first place, and why you weren't in a hurry to follow your senior brother... Now I understand a little bit."
"Qillang, tell me, what do you understand?" Li Yuanying tilted her head, and her face returned to its original innocence.
"Even though the Li family hasn't been very kind to you, you still can't let them go, right?" Qilang looked at the woman in his arms. She was so young, yet she was already navigating the world of conspiracy and intrigue. She looked a lot like him. "The Li family has long been destitute, and you know full well that there's no one to carry on the family. This time, the court has summoned you, perhaps to settle accounts. To give the Li family a glimmer of hope, you need to present your achievements to the emperor."
Judging from Li Yuanying's expression, Qilang felt that his guess was correct: "So, you chose Shengle Township, because there is a great demon here that has troubled the court for years. If you can subdue her, you can go to see the emperor. If the emperor criticizes you, you still have a chance to redeem yourself. Am I right?"
After listening to what Qilang said, Li Yuanying started laughing. Her laughter was mad and sharp. There was something special about this beauty going crazy. Qilang was actually fascinated by her for a while.
"Qilang, Qilang, it turns out that I am such a saintly person in your eyes. Well, then I might disappoint you, my husband." Li Yuanying restrained her smile and whispered in Qilang's ear.
Isn't that the case? Qilang frowned slightly.
At this moment, Li Yuanying's red lips kissed his lips warmly. In an instant, Qilang felt that the gold foil had taken effect, as if countless heat currents spread from the tight connection of the gold foil to his abdomen, his hands, his hair, and his lips.
It turns out that for the gold foil to work, it also needs the catalysis of lust.
Qilang had never felt such a strong impact. His mind and eyes were filled with the woman in front of him. He didn't want to lose control, so he wanted to use the power of the demon pill to stabilize his mind, but Li Yuanying held his waist tightly, making him limp and unable to concentrate.
Damn, am I going to be subdued by such a little girl?
"Qillang, can you lend me your eyes? I will definitely return them to you in three days." Li Yuanying's voice was right next to his ear, but it seemed like there was a layer of thin paper between them. He seemed to hear it clearly, yet also seemed unreal.
Qilang knew that he had begun to fall deeply into an illusion and could not extricate himself.
The power of this gold foil is truly terrifying.
"Okay..." Qilang answered this sentence involuntarily. He no longer had the ability to control his body and could only let Li Yuanying control him.
When this sentence was spoken, Qilang felt a dazzling light in front of his eyes, as if the barrier had been opened, and it would be easy for Li Yuanying to take away his eyes.
Sure enough, he felt the cold sword piercing his eyes, but he did not feel any pain. When the sword withdrew, everything in front of his eyes became dark.
The thick darkness enveloped him in an unknown world, completely devoid of any light.
Although Qilang had been mentally prepared for Li Yuanying to do this, when his eyes were actually gouged out, his heart was gripped tightly. This woman was indeed very cruel.
Just like his mother said, humans are not trustworthy, and Qilang's heart turned cold.
Was it successful?
After Li Yuanying took out Qilang, or more accurately, the eyes of Fairy Shengle, she waited for the illusion to change, but unfortunately there was no sign.
Is it useless? Didn't she already take out her eyes?
"Wait for me, Qilang." After she placed Qilang under a tree outside Shengle Temple, she went to find Jiao Chun's bride.
Maybe it’s because all this has not been completed yet, Li Yuanying thought.
When Li Yuanying handed these eyes to Jiao Chun's new wife, she was very happy and couldn't wait to get the new eyes. She cried and hugged her husband, thanking him for never betraying her.
But at this moment, Li Yuanying felt extremely anxious. Qilang had already lost his eyes, and she didn't want him to stay in this illusion like that. She had to solve this matter as soon as possible and then go back.
"We need to return the eyes after three days," Li Yuanying said, "I only borrowed them for three days."
Hearing Li Yuanying's words, the bride hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay. I will definitely return it when the three-day deadline is up."
Li Yuanying didn't want to stay at Jiao Chun's house anymore, so she returned to Qilang. The young man in front of her had regained his original appearance, no longer looking like the Fairy Shengle, but his eyes were still dull as he sat motionless under the tree.
Li Yuanying waved in front of Qilang, but he didn't react. It seemed that he really couldn't see. A sense of guilt rose from the bottom of Li Yuanying's heart. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.
Because she was betrayed by her entire clan since she was born, those who hurt her never showed any apology, and she never learned what guilt was.
But this time, in order to get out and defeat the big monster, she actually dug out Qilang's eyes.
"Qillang..." Li Yuanying could clearly feel the hostility in the young man. If he had some good feelings towards her before, now there was only hatred left.
"Get lost." Qilang said coldly.
