Chapter 16 Immortal Lord 016%
“…”
Qu Yaoyao fainted from the pain.
In her sleep, she vaguely heard someone calling her name. After struggling for a long time, she finally opened her eyes and murmured, "Who is calling me..."
What she saw was the sky full of red, and the crackling sound of burning flames filled her ears. A familiar voice urged her in her ear, "Yaoyao, wake up quickly."
Qu Yaoyao realized where she was, woke up with a start, and called out, "Chong'an!"
Chong'an seemed relieved, "You finally woke up."
This is the space inside the pendant. Qu Yaoyao woke up and found herself floating in the air. As she woke up, she slowly fell to the ground. "Why am I here?"
I touched my stomach and it didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.
Chong'an explained: "I was the one who pulled you in."
Before disappearing, Chong'an deliberately left a trace of his own breath in Qu Yaoyao's body. Once she got into trouble or met someone specific, that breath would force him to wake up from his sleep.
I didn't expect that person to come so quickly.
"You need to get out quickly." Chong'an coughed a few times.
At this moment, he was unable to condense his form, and his phoenix body could only bathe in the crimson lotus fire, which could not last long. Qu Yaoyao sensed his weakness and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine," Chong'an interrupted her, "Yaoyao, listen to me first."
He was rarely so serious, and his tone was slightly forceful, which made Qu Yaoyao uncomfortable. After a pause, she put away her thoughts of chatting with Chong'an and listened obediently.
"Okay, go ahead."
“…”
At the same time, Xie Qingxun took Qu Yaoyao to the inn and put her on the couch.
The unconscious girl was soft and harmless, her fingers curled around his collar, defenseless and allowing him to do whatever he wanted. Xie Qingxun stood in front of the bed and looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, it felt like just a few days had passed, and Qu Yaoyao's appearance had changed slightly, as if...
She looks more and more like the girl in the painting.
Xie Qingxun's eyes were dark, and he could hardly recall Qu Yaoyao's original appearance.
Something is wrong.
Thinking of the abnormality he had just detected in her body, Xie Qingxun sat beside her and put his hand on her cheek.
Qu Yaoyao's cheeks were soft, with a hint of baby fat. They felt warm and smooth to the touch, like soft silk, making it hard to let go. Xie Qingxun's eyelashes drooped slightly, and his fingertips, without stopping, moved from her cheek to the corner of her eye, finally stopping at her brow.
A blue light flashed at his fingertips, and Xie Qingxun closed his eyes, trying to delve into Qu Yaoyao's soul to find out what was going on.
Snap——
Before he could go deeper, an extremely powerful golden light surged out from Qu Yaoyao's body, rushing towards Xie Qingxun with a cold murderous aura, forcibly forcing out his spiritual sense that had penetrated.
Xie Qingxun stood up and stepped back, forming hand seals to fight back, but he found that the murderous aura dissipated very quickly, as if it was afraid of being tracked by him.
"Hmm..." A murmur came out, and Qu Yaoyao woke up on the couch.
She seemed unaware of what had just happened. She rubbed her eyes, sat up from the couch, and turned her head to see the man in red a few steps away.
"Thank you, sir!" Qu Yaoyao greeted him.
Looking around the room, she wondered, "Where is this place?"
"Yunta Town Inn." Xie Qingxun uttered a few words.
He restrained his true appearance, and his face was gentle and kind, except for his beautiful and eye-catching phoenix eyes. When he stared at someone, it would make people feel extremely aggressive and intimidated. At this moment, Xie Qingxun stared straight at Qu Yaoyao. He saw that she had woken up and looked left and right but not at him, looking very energetic.
"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?" He narrowed his eyes.
Hearing this, Qu Yaoyao touched her belly and replied with a soft smile: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you for your concern."
"Really?" Xie Qingxun curled his lips.
Ever since Qu Yaoyao woke up, he had been standing with his hands behind his back, his right hand tucked behind his back as if hiding something. Now, he suddenly lowered his right arm, and the wide sleeves completely concealed it, making him look even more mysterious.
Qu Yaoyao's eyes drifted towards his sleeves. As she nodded, Xie Qingxun smiled softly and said gently, "For your health's sake, why don't I take a closer look at you."
He said as he walked towards the couch.
Qu Yaoyao quickly retreated, "No, that's not necessary."
She never knew that Xie Qingxun was the Immortal Venerable Qingxi. She only felt that her benefactor had a fickle temperament and seemed difficult to get along with.
Remembering Chong'an's instructions, she avoided Xie Qingxun's hand and explained, "I forgot to tell my benefactor before. When I was traveling, I met a master from another world. I was lucky enough to get a golden amulet from him. This amulet is very powerful. Be careful not to hurt my benefactor."
"An outsider?" Xie Qingxun paused. "What kind of expert?"
"I gave him a steamed bun, and he gave me a talisman."
"Really?" Xie Qingxun obviously didn't believe it.
Qu Yaoyao followed Chong'an's instructions and snorted, pretending to be calm. "Of course it's all true. You saved my life, how could I lie to you?"
I hope so.
Xie Qingxun's hands hanging in his sleeves were still burning with pain.
After looking at Qu Yaoyao deeply, he regained his gentle appearance and said, "Since Miss Yaoyao has recovered, I will not disturb you. You should have a good rest."
Qu Yaoyao nodded in response and waved goodbye to him, "See you tomorrow, benefactor!"
As soon as Xie Qingxun left, Qu Yaoyao's tense body relaxed instantly. She breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the couch.
"Chong'an, how did I perform just now?" Qu Yaoyao touched the pendant around her neck.
Chong'an's voice came quickly, "Not good."
"Ah, is there?" Qu Yaoyao's face fell. She glanced at the window and asked softly, "What should I do now?"
"Wait for the right time, then leave him."
Qu Yaoyao cried out, her hand supporting her chin. She still couldn't believe it, "Is Lord Xie En really a bad guy? He clearly saved me."
Chong'an said with certainty: "He is a bad guy."
"Very bad." He is cold-blooded and ruthless, doing all kinds of evil. He is definitely not a good person.
Just now in the pendant, Chong'an and Qu Yaoyao explained two things: one is that her body is different from that of ordinary people, and she cannot let others probe and examine her body at will, otherwise her lotus body will be exposed; the other is to tell her that Xie Engong, who saved her, is a bad man, and she should find a chance to escape as soon as possible.
"He is so bad." Qu Yaoyao naturally trusts Chong'an more than Xie Qingxun, whom she just met.
"Since he is so bad, I must run away and never let him find me."
Across the wall, in another bedroom, the lights were bright.
Xie Qingxun raised his right hand which was hidden in his sleeve. The back of his originally fair and smooth hand was now covered in burns. He had just been injured by Qu Yaoyao's protective magic light.
After just a few days of not seeing each other, the little girl brought him more and more 'surprises'.
Pushing open the window, Xie Qingxun raised his eyelashes and looked at the moon in the night sky. His hidden face gradually emerged. Suddenly, his dark pupils seemed to sense something and turned into a blazing red gold.
"It's clearly not a full moon yet." Xie Qingxun murmured.
Looking down, he saw that the back of his burned hand was emitting black air, and wisps of evil spirit were coming out of it.
It was the murderous golden light just now that awakened the evil in his body in advance.
.
"Yaoyao, the opportunity has come." In the middle of the night, Qu Yaoyao was awakened from her sleep by Chong'an.
Before he even woke up, she had already wrapped herself in her cloak. Qu Yaoyao tiptoed to the door and whispered, "He won't find us if we leave like this, right?"
Chong'an calmly commanded, "Jump out the window and use the talisman paper Qu Yushu left for you to fly back to the forest."
"Yaoyao, no matter what you see or hear later, don't stay."
"Okay." Although Qu Yaoyao had some doubts, she still agreed.
It was not until she carefully opened the window and saw the scene outside that she understood the deep meaning of Chong'an's words.
"W-What's going on?"
The once bustling town was now filled with wailing and swarms of mortals fleeing for their lives. The moon was tinged with blood, and a murderous aura permeated the sky. Combined with the blizzard, everyone was left to fend for themselves, a scene of hell.
Chong'an couldn't hold on any longer. He didn't have time to explain so much to Qu Yaoyao. He just urged her, "Yaoyao, hurry up."
"I'm going to..." Before Chong'an could finish his words, the pendant suddenly lost its light.
Qu Yaoyao was anxious. She held the pendant and called out several times, but received no response. Having lost her mind, Qu Yaoyao could only follow Chong'an's instructions and flee the town. As she left, she looked towards the room next to hers. The room was dark and quiet, as if no one lived there.
"Help!"
"My child is missing. Please, can someone help me find him?"
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Dad, wake up. Ah, Mom, get out of the way—"
Flying high above the wind, Qu Yaoyao flew very low, able to hear the townspeople's cries for help clearly. She tried to suppress herself, wanting to listen to Chong'an and return to the cave quickly, but the cries for help from below pounded directly into her heart, and Qu Yaoyao couldn't ignore them.
"Protect!" Qu Yaoyao took out a few talismans from her arms and threw them at the child below who was about to be hit by the evil spirit.
She finally stopped and used her weak magic power to save several children, and even caught a cultivator who fell from the sky.
"Thank you for your help, fairy!" The cultivator clasped his fists in gratitude.
Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to talk to him too much. Seeing more and more cultivators coming, she pulled her cloak and prepared to leave. At this moment, a murderous aura rushed towards Qu Yaoyao. The cultivator didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled Qu Yaoyao away.
"Fairy, be careful!"
Swish——
Qu Yaoyao was pulled back by his fierce force. As she stumbled to avoid the evil spirit, her protective cloak was blown away by it and floated into the air. At close range, the cultivator saw the fairy he was holding. He was stunned for a moment, then shouted a name, "Qu, Qu Yaoyao?!"
"Are you Qu Yaoyao?!"
More and more cultivators saw Qu Yaoyao's face clearly, and someone said, "The Yaowang Sect's Young Master was killed by Qu Yaoyao using the magic banner. Everyone, be careful. This evil woman has a vicious mind and is accustomed to some crooked ways."
"So it's you who brought the evil spirit into this town!"
"Fellow Daoists, let's catch her!"
Qu Yaoyao's face turned pale, and she turned and ran without a chance to explain. She thought, if Chong'an was still conscious, he would be angry at her for not listening. But she had no choice. She couldn't just watch those children die in front of her.
"Sister is not a bad person!"
"She just saved us. I forbid you to hurt her."
Fortunately, Qu Yaoyao's kindness was rewarded. When she was escaping by flying in the wind, the children she rescued all hugged the cultivator's thighs, buying her time to escape.
In the mountains and forests, the evil spirit is even worse.
The blizzard was so thick and the dark evil spirit in the forest made Qu Yaoyao lose her sense of direction. With the pursuers behind her, she soon got lost in the forest.
At the same time, Xie Qingxun, with a murderous aura and a pale face, stood in the forest holding a lantern.
In front of him was an octagonal tower that reached straight into the clouds. Due to the presence of a strong evil spirit, the tower emitted golden light, forming a transparent barrier that surrounded this place. Xie Qingxun tentatively reached out to touch it, but the burst of light instantly bounced him back.
"I can't get in." Injured again, Xie Qingxun put his bleeding finger to his lips and sucked up all the blood.
The chaos in Yunta Town would soon alert the people in the upper realm. If he didn't quickly dispel his evil spirit, he would be in big trouble. After a moment's thought, he urged more evil spirit to flow out. Since his body was already out of control, he might as well take this opportunity to open the barrier of Longyun Tower.
"Stop right there!"
"Where is the witch running to?"
Having lost her way, Qu Yaoyao could only run towards the glittering golden Dragon Cloud Tower. The cave was not far from the Dragon Cloud Tower. As long as she found the Dragon Cloud Tower, she would be able to find the cave. There was also a barrier set by Chong'an on the cave. As long as she escaped into it, she would be safe.
"Everyone, look, what is that?" A cultivator's cry suddenly came from behind.
As Qu Yaoyao ran, she looked up and saw a golden light shooting up into the sky, piercing the pervasive evil spirit. Following the golden light, Qu Yaoyao spotted a towering, radiant tower. Her intuition told her of danger, and she hurriedly withdrew her talisman, but she was still a step too slow and was swept into the golden light emanating from the tower.
Swish——
Swish——
The two beams of light disappeared out of thin air, and the evil spirit accumulated in Yunta Town dissipated.
Qu Yaoyao's vision turned pale, and she felt weightless and couldn't find a foothold, falling straight down. During the landing, Qu Yaoyao felt like she had fallen on something, and she seemed to hear a muffled groan while she was dizzy.
"How long are you going to lie on top of me?" A cold and suppressive voice came to my ears.
Qu Yaoyao came back to her senses and found that she had fallen on someone. This person was none other than the bad guy that Chong'an asked her to escape from quickly.
"Thank you, Lord?!" Qu Yaoyao was surprised. "Why are you here?"
Xie Qingxun's face was covered with a mask, his skin pale, his red clothes stained with blood, and he looked seriously injured. He tried to stand up, but found Qu Yaoyao still lying in his arms, her expression dazed and confused, except for surprise, without any discomfort, and she was not seriously injured.
"Get out of the way." Xie Qingxun said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of blood flowed from the corner of his lips and flowed down his chin.
His vision went dark, and Xie Qingxun tentatively raised his hand to touch Qu Yaoyao. Before his hand could touch her neck, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. He spat out blood again, and his body swayed before he fainted...
