Chapter 38 Immortal Lord 038%
Qu Yaoyao has become smaller.
The light gradually dimmed, and the young girl in the cold pond disappeared, leaving only a little girl wrapped in a loose dress.
The girl looked about six or seven years old, with fair skin and a chubby face. She had no idea what was going on. Her big, round eyes were filled with confusion. Seeing Xie Qingxun staring at her in a daze, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Grandma Ruanruan's voice was a little slurred. As soon as she finished speaking, she was startled by her own voice. She first covered her mouth and touched her face. Finally, she flapped her little hands, splashing water in the cold pond, and touched the hem of her skirt dangling in the water.
Qu Yaoyao has become smaller.
The Snow Lotus's essence was damaged, and it could not maintain its normal form during the repair and breathing period, so it shrunk her into a small bun.
When Xie Qingxun pulled her out of the cold pond, Qu Yaoyao was shivering all over and sobbing softly. Her body temperature had not yet returned to normal. The tears that fell from her eyes condensed into small ice crystals, which continued to hit Xie Qingxun's arm.
"Why are you crying?" Xie Qingxun hugged her like an ice doll.
He wiped her cheek casually, wrapped her in a clean, thick cloth, and said with mixed feelings, "Don't cry."
Qu Yaoyao was a little overwhelmed, "I've finally grown up so hard..."
"I don't want to get smaller anymore."
After a thousand years of cultivating her form, she painstakingly achieved a human form, only to be transformed into a child. The word "small" had always been a thorn in her heart. Her snow lotus form was so small that it was often overlooked and misunderstood, often mistaken for a newly born lotus.
"Yaoyao." Chong'an's voice suddenly came to my ears.
He probably also knew about Qu Yaoyao's shrinkage, and said in a somewhat awkward tone, "Don't cry, your body will recover if you think of a way, but don't reveal your true identity to Xie Qingxun."
Xie Qingxun didn't know yet that she was Xuelian Benlian.
"Hmm..." Qu Yaoyao broke down emotionally and lost her mind. If Chong'an hadn't reminded her, she would have really revealed her secrets.
Without Xie Qingxun's help, Qu Yaoyao sobbed and comforted herself, finally accepting the outcome. Dejected, she leaned on Xie Qingxun's shoulder, her sobs turning into faint choking sobs. The sudden silence made Xie Qingxun somewhat uncomfortable.
He tilted his head to look at the little girl on his shoulder. Seeing that her cheeks were flattened and the corners of her eyes were red from crying, he raised his hand to ruffle her hair, trying to comfort her. "Becoming smaller is only temporary. I will find a way to change you back."
Qu Yaoyao still looked listless and said sullenly, "Then, will you dislike me?"
Xie Qingxun raised his eyebrows slightly and teased her lazily, "When have I ever liked you?"
Qu Yaoyao took it seriously. She pouted hurtfully, blinked her eyes and felt like crying again.
Xie Qingxun snorted upon seeing this, and poked her cheek with his finger. He pretended to be casual and added, "You look a bit more pleasing to the eye after becoming smaller."
In fact, it is quite pleasing to the eye even if it does not become smaller.
Back in the bedroom, Xie Qingxun first found a clean towel to help Qu Yaoyao wipe her face, and then called Gu Tianci to prepare clothes for the little girl. Seeing Qu Yaoyao, who had become so tender and small, he almost kept his mouth shut, repeatedly confirming, "Is this really Qu Yaoyao?"
Xie Qingxun blocked his sight without leaving any trace and said coldly: "Before she recovers, I don't want to see any messy people in Wangxu."
"Disciple will arrange it right away." Gu Tianci quickly gathered his thoughts.
Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "I wonder what style of clothes I should prepare?"
He's a grown man, but he doesn't understand this.
Xie Qingxun didn't know much more than him. While thinking, Qu Yaoyao said weakly: "I like plain colors, preferably all white."
She looks best in her original snow-white form.
Xie Qingxun glanced at her and said, "Then choose something bright and festive."
Qu Yaoyao: “?”
.
Qu Yaoyao was just an outsider after all, so Gu Tianci finally listened to his master.
He was very efficient and had already bought clothes the next morning. Looking at the two large boxes of clothes being carried in, she sat on the couch and opened her mouth, "Does he think I can't change back?"
Yawning sleepily, she jumped off the couch and went to open the suitcase. When she saw the clothes inside, she woke up with a start. Xie Qingxun took a closer look and said with satisfaction, "Not bad."
"What's wrong with that?" Qu Yaoyao was angry and looked up at Xie Qingxun.
Xie Qingxun was already very tall, and now that Qu Yaoyao had become shorter, her height was not as long as his legs, causing him to have to lower his head every time he spoke to her.
Walking past the short Qu Yaoyao, Xie Qingxun leaned over and casually picked up a dress. The bright red color of the dress was indeed as bright and festive as he required. Since it was still winter, the red dress was matched with a red cloak with white fur. Two balls of white fur hung on both sides of the hood, and a white cat was embroidered on the chest.
This is a very cute and beautiful little skirt. Any little girl would like it, but Qu Yaoyao has just become smaller and is not really just a little girl of six or seven years old.
"Let's take this one." As if he couldn't see Qu Yaoyao's dissatisfaction, Xie Qingxun decided on her clothes.
Qu Yaoyao was angry, but the rest of the clothes in the suitcase were of similar styles, and some were even more childish and cute.
That’s too much!
Qu Yaoyao reluctantly changed into her dress. Although she preferred plain colors, she looked most stunning in bright colors. Today, Xie Qingxun was taking her to the lower realms for medical treatment. However, the doctor he had found was of questionable status, so they were going on a business trip under the guise of going out on business.
As soon as they arrived in the lower world, Xie Qingxun took Qu Yaoyao straight to an inn in Yingxian City. Because he disliked Qu Yaoyao's weak legs and slow walking, he held her in his arms the whole time.
"Your Majesty." The man in black robe had been waiting for a long time. He was a little stunned when he saw his majesty coming in holding a little girl.
Xie Qingxun pushed her to the chair and raised his chin slightly, "Show her."
Qu Yaoyao looked at him and then at the man in black robe. Her good manners prevented her from raising any doubts in front of him.
The black-robed man heaved a sigh of relief after checking. "It's just that his essence is deficient and his spiritual energy is insufficient, but the problem isn't serious. As long as he takes the elixirs from his subordinates and soaks in the cold pond for an hour every night at midnight to regulate his breathing, he should recover quickly."
Xie Qingxun raised his eyes and looked at him, "Should?"
Even though the black-robed man had no face, Qu Yaoyao could sense his fear as he slammed the word "light and fluttering" down. Taking a step back, the black-robed man pulled out another bottle of pills, this time confidently declaring, "Miss Qu will recover within a month!"
One month... is too long.
Xie Qingxun was not very satisfied and said in a cold voice, "If she doesn't recover in a month, you will bring her head to me."
"I obey your command!"
Qu Yaoyao looked at the empty hood of the black robe and couldn't help but wonder what his head looked like.
Qu Yaoyao didn't really trust the black-robed man. After all, he had nearly killed Xie Qingxun, leaving her with quite a fright. After returning, looking at the two pills Xie Qingxun handed her, she hesitated and asked, "Can that black-robed man really save people?"
Don't poison her again.
The little girl's mind was transparent and could be easily seen through. Xie Qingxun pinched her cheek and forced the pill into her mouth, saying something that sounded half true and half false: "He's not good at saving people, but poisoning a few little girls is not a problem."
Qu Yaoyao pretended to spit out the pill, but Xie Qingxun quickly covered her mouth. Facing the little girl's angry glare, he laughed heartily, "I was kidding."
He's too much.
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth and bit his wrist.
She didn't use much strength, nor did she dare to really hurt Xie Qingxun, leaving only a shallow tooth mark on his wrist. But she didn't know what went wrong. After she let go, she saw a wisp of black air shot out from Xie Qingxun's wrist, and disappeared at such a speed that Qu Yaoyao thought she was seeing things.
But it was obvious that Xie Qingxun had also noticed the black energy. His smiling eyes darkened a little. The curve of his lips gradually flattened. He tapped the table a few times and said, "The full moon will soon be here again."
When the full moon appears, the yin energy is heavy, and the evil energy in his body will run wildly.
Qu Yaoyao already knew that Xie Qingxun was relying on her to suppress his evil spirit. She frowned slightly, "I'm already like this, are you still going to bite me?"
Xie Qingxun's face looked a little ugly, and he thought for a moment without responding.
He had always been ruthless enough, and as long as those he could exploit were still breathing, he didn't care whether others suffered or not. After spending so much time with Xie Qingxun, Qu Yaoyao had already seen through his character. She thought Xie Qingxun would choose to absorb her lotus breath again this time, but when the full moon came, he only took a drop of her blood.
He had originally wanted more blood, but when he grasped Qu Yaoyao's wrist and raised the jade bone fan, she sat quietly, watching him. There was no hatred in her eyes, no murky, dark emotions, just a hint of resentment. She timidly urged him, "If you want to take it, do it quickly."
"Your fan is so sharp, I'm a little afraid of the pain, can you be gentler?"
It was not known whether her words or expression touched Xie Qingxun. He pursed his lips and did not respond, but changed from squeezing her wrist to grabbing her hand.
He did not use the jade bone fan. In the end, Xie Qingxun simply scratched Qu Yaoyao's fingertips with his fingernails and used her hand to put a dot of blood on his forehead.
A red-gold totem appeared faintly between his eyebrows. Xie Qingxun closed his eyelashes, and the red-gold also appeared at the end of his eyes, which slightly changed the shape of his eyes and brought a sense of surprise that he did not usually have.
"You go to the cold pond by yourself tonight. I have something to do so I won't go." One drop of blood was far from enough. Xie Qingxun wanted to find a place to suppress the evil spirit.
The Xianxu Cold Pond does not belong to Wangxu. It is located at the junction of Wangxu and Zhenxu. Xie Qingxun’s order not to allow people from Wangxu to approach does not mean that Pei Ziyi’s people from Zhenxu will be so obedient.
Before leaving, Xie Qingxun specifically told Qu Yaoyao to ask Di Shu to come with her. Qu Yaoyao agreed on the surface, but at midnight she went to Hantan alone because she wanted to talk to Chong'an for a while and was afraid that Di Shu would find out and get into trouble.
After soaking in the cold pond and regulating her breathing according to Chong'an's guidance, Qu Yaoyao clearly felt that the lotus breath in her body was much more abundant.
"Take a rest for a while, there's no rush." Chong'an saw that she wanted to continue regulating her breathing and spoke out to stop her.
Qu Yaoyao was indeed a little tired. Her lotus breath had returned, but she had expended a great deal of energy and strength in regulating her breath. Leaning lazily against the edge of the cold pond, she comfortably scooped up a handful of water and poured it over the large snow lotus beside her, murmuring softly, "I hope you too will soon develop spiritual consciousness."
She is quite lonely alone.
Something was poking her waist, causing her pain. She touched it and found it was a scent sachet. This sachet was the one Qu Yushu had given her. After she had used up the talisman, she used it to store the things she carried with her.
"Huh." After opening the bulging sachet, Qu Yaoyao found a red stone inside.
This stone looked very familiar to her; it was the one she had picked up from her underwater palace. In her haste, she had casually put the stone aside without examining it closely. Now, holding it in her hand, she saw by the moonlight that it was sharp and not smooth, like a piece broken off from the main body.
"What on earth is this thing?" Qu Yaoyao pinched it and examined it again and again.
The full moon was overhead, and the moonlight shone on the red stone, creating a beautiful glow. Although this object was taken from a viper, it held no evil aura and even exuded an imperceptible spiritual energy. However, Xie Qingxun said it was a useless dead object.
Is it really so?
Qu Yaoyao's intuition told her that this stone was definitely not a dead object.
Just playing with it in the moonlight, Qu Yaoyao's consciousness became blurred, as if she had suddenly entered a strange world.
The sky was ablaze with blood-red morning glow, and the snow covered the vast expanse. Qu Yaoyao could hear the sound of wind and falling snowflakes. As she was flying through the sky at an extremely fast speed, a red barrier suddenly appeared before her eyes. Qu Yaoyao heard Chong'an's voice: "Yaoyao, wake up quickly."
Qu Yaoyao came back to her senses and looked at the stone in her hand in disbelief. "Did I just... go inside it?"
Logically speaking, her entry into this void realm should have consumed a lot of her energy and cultivation. However, this time when Qu Yaoyao came out, not only did she not lose any energy, but all her fatigue was washed away. A faint spiritual energy emanated from her body, and the lotus breath she produced through regulating her breathing was even more abundant than before.
Chong'an obviously didn't expect this to happen.
He summoned Qu Yaoyao back into the pendant, then stood in front of her and asked, "Can I see it?"
sure.
Qu Yaoyao directly opened her palm. If Chong'an wanted it, she would also give it to him. However, "Can you touch it?"
Chong'an also thought that he couldn't touch it, but as soon as his fingertips touched the stone, before it fell, he felt a suction force coming out of the red stone. In an instant, the snow scene that Qu Yaoyao saw appeared in Xie Qingxun's mind. His body broke apart and then reunited, and he staggered back two steps.
"It is indeed Kunlun Stone..." Chong'an's breath changed slightly, and his originally gentle voice was mixed with a bit of coldness.
Qu Yaoyao was startled by his change. She didn't know whether to let go or continue holding the stone. She asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"Is there something wrong with this stone?"
Chong'an looked at Qu Yaoyao when he heard the voice. His eyes changed again and again in an instant. Finally, he just curled the corners of his lips at her and said, "No problem."
"Kunlun Stone can help you practice, so just keep it."
"But Yaoyao." Before Qu Yaoyao could put the stone away, he changed his tone and squatted in front of her, saying slowly, "This Kunlun Stone is a secret between you and me. You must not mention it to anyone else."
"Is Xie Qingxun not okay too?" Qu Yaoyao wanted to say that Xie Qingxun had seen this stone before, or he had thrown it away and she picked it up.
"He can't say it the most."
Chong'an's hostility towards Xie Qingxun remained undiminished. In order to make Qu Yaoyao take his words to heart, he spoke very clearly and warned her slightly sternly, "This stone must never be seen by Xie Qingxun again."
"Remember this: if he asks you for this stone in the future, you must tell him you threw it into the sea. If he accidentally sees this stone, you must destroy it before you can give it to him."
"Why?" Qu Yaoyao was a little stunned.
Why is that?
The red lotus fire burned fiercely behind Chong'an. The white hair covering his back fell on his cheeks. When he leaned closer to Qu Yaoyao, the beautiful gold-patterned mask shone with a cold and ghostly light.
"because--"
"Once he gets the complete Kunlun Stone, he will kill you."
“…”
The forest is deep and dense, and a barrier quietly separates the two worlds.
When Xie Qingxun hid in the mountains to suppress the evil spirit, a purple light suddenly fell and broke the heavy barrier.
Pei Ziyi patted the non-existent wrinkles on his hem and took two steps forward. He looked at Xie Qingxun in feigned surprise, "Junior brother? Why are you here?"
A thick evil aura lurked behind him. Xie Qingxun's dim white robes concealed his entire figure in the shadows. His slightly eerie face revealed a hint of bloodlust. He twitched the corners of his lips slightly, "The evil aura in this forest is thick. I suspect there's an evil demon hiding here."
"Brother, why are you here?"
Pei Ziyi stared at Xie Qingxun, "I also suspect that there is an evil demon hiding here, so of course I came..."
"To catch evil spirits."
The author has something to say: Xiao Xie began to feel soft towards Yaoyao,
Then he suffered = =.
That’s all for now, good night everyone.
