Chapter 39 Immortal Lord 039%
In fact, Pei Ziyi came here specifically to track down Xie Qingxun.
Since he was a teenager, he had keenly sensed that his junior fellow apprentice was hiding a secret, but Xie Qingxun concealed it so well that he had never learned anything after all these years.
Until Qu Yaoyao appeared.
[I'm just a little curious, when did Su Yao become infected with the evil spirit while in Wangxu?]
[Could it be that Immortal Qingxi is the greatest demon in this delusion?]
Perhaps these two sentences sounded ridiculous to others, but Pei Ziyi took them to heart. He didn't understand why Qu Yaoyao couldn't just use something else to slander Xie Qingxun. Why did she choose the most unbelievable and ridiculous slander?
Unless, these slanders are not slanders, but the most absurd and unexpected truth.
The investigation that had been making no progress seemed to suddenly find a breakthrough. Pei Ziyi recalled Xie Qingxun's behavior based on Qu Yaoyao's "slander", and all the strange things about Xie Qingxun that he couldn't understand were explained.
Xie Qingxun is a demon.
Pei Ziyi had the answer in his mind. Even if Xie Qingxun himself was not a demon, he was definitely in collusion with the evil demon.
After many days of surveillance, he finally noticed Xie Qingxun's unusual movements today. Pei Ziyi looked at Xie Qingxun with a cold look in his eyes. He walked towards him step by step and said, "The demonic energy in this forest is very strong, and it is surrounding us."
"Xie Junior Brother, you must be careful."
Xie Qingxun hid in the shadows without moving, watching Pei Ziyi approach indifferently.
Suddenly, Pei Ziyi quickly raised his hand and hit Xie Qingxun. Xie Qingxun dodged sideways and retreated into the shadows. Pei Ziyi missed, but he saw the field behind him as he wished. The ground was mottled with shadows of trees, and it was empty with only bushes and weeds. There was no evil or bad spirit as he thought.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Xie Qingxun raised the corners of his lips slightly.
The smile on Pei Ziyi's face froze. Not giving up, he used magic to explore the surroundings again. The evil spirit that he had just vaguely seen had indeed disappeared without a trace. Everything seemed like his illusion.
"Misunderstand."
"Brother, I was just dazzled." Pei Ziyi explained with a lame excuse, "I just saw an evil spirit trying to attack you, but I didn't expect it was the shadow of a tree on the ground."
Xie Qingxun sneered and said rudely, "Brother, this isn't dazzlement. I'm afraid there's something wrong with your eyes."
He deliberately hit Pei Ziyi's sore spot, "Could it be that the competition when we were young caused Senior Brother to have a chronic illness?"
"Then you have to find Old Man Hua to take a good look."
Xie Qingxun was reminding Pei Ziyi that he couldn't beat him and was almost blinded.
Pei Ziyi couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and secretly clenched his fists. He didn't believe that Xie Qingxun came here late at night to set up the barrier in order to catch some evil spirit, so he pretended to be happy and delayed time, secretly asking his disciples to search the mountain.
He did not come here on his own. Since he was determined to find something to hold against Xie Qingxun, he naturally needed someone to testify.
As the barrier dissipated, several disciples quietly sneaked into the forest. Xie Qingxun heard the group's movements clearly. The tearing pain in his body reminded him that he needed to leave as soon as possible. The hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, and soon a disciple in the distance shouted, "What the hell!"
Swish——
A ball of evil spirit quickly swept through the mountains and forests.
Pei Ziyi took the initiative to strike, and trapped the evil spirit on the ground with a heavy blow. The evil spirit kept struggling and roaring, revealing its demonic form in front of everyone. Pei Ziyi glanced at Xie Qingxun inconspicuously, "It turned out to be a fox demon that had just fallen into evil."
Xie Qingxun's expression remained unchanged. He showed no sign of panic or nervousness. He raised his hand and patted his sleeves. "Since Senior Brother has already captured the evil spirit, Junior Brother will go first."
After all, there was something to gain, so Pei Ziyi was not afraid that he would leave.
Seeing Xie Qingxun disappear, he looked at the rabbit demon and sneered, "Catch it back and interrogate it slowly."
He just didn't believe that nothing could be found out.
Just as he was about to leave, the rabbit demon smiled strangely and the evil aura on his body suddenly became more intense, burning his inner elixir at an extremely fast speed.
"Oh no, it's going to self-destruct..."
Bang--
The rabbit demon turned into powder in front of Pei Ziyi.
Pei Ziyi's face turned grim, and he realized belatedly that he had been tricked by Xie Qingxun. However, this also confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with him.
“…”
Just like before, Chong'an suddenly disappeared again.
Just as he explained the importance of the Kunlun Stone, before Qu Yaoyao could ask more questions, she was pushed out of the pendant by an external force, and she could no longer hear Chong'an's response. Although Qu Yaoyao still had many doubts about the Kunlun Stone, she took Chong'an's words to heart, carefully hid the Kunlun Stone, and yawned as she returned to Xie Qingxun's bedroom to sleep.
No, now it should be said that it is the bedroom of the two of them.
The unexpected event on their wedding day didn't reverse the outcome. Without going through the full wedding ceremony, Xie Qingxun still coerced her into becoming his Taoist partner. After waking up, Qu Yaoyao had heard several people call her "Madam Yao." From her initial frustration and anger to her subsequent inability to compromise, she had now accepted their "marriage."
...That's it.
After the incident with the viper, Qu Yaoyao currently has no intention of running away.
She was a person who was easily soft-hearted and was confused and indecisive in her feelings. Compared with before, she felt that she didn't hate Xie Qingxun so much.
Since she doesn't dislike him, she will try to continue getting along with him. But what makes her embarrassed is... the relationship between Xie Qingxun and Chong'an.
What should she do?
Wrapped in a vexed dream, Qu Yaoyao fell into a deep sleep. Not long after, she heard a violent banging on her door. Startled, she jumped up and, in the darkness, stammered, "...Who?"
Who dares to break into the bedroom of Immortal Qingxi in the middle of the night?
The night pearl that covered her was pulled open by someone, and the bright light poured out, and Qu Yaoyao saw Xie Qingxun.
"What's wrong with you?" After seeing his face clearly, Qu Yaoyao became even more frightened.
It was not the usual elegant and graceful demeanor of an immortal. Xie Qingxun's white sleeves were soaked with blood, and the most terrifying thing was that his eyes were also bleeding.
As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Xie Qingxun staggered and fell to his knees. Qu Yaoyao rushed to help him up, but when she touched his arm, she pinched it and made it bleed. She rolled up his sleeve and took a look, her heart trembled and she almost fainted from fright.
"How did you get injured so badly..." Qu Yaoyao withdrew her hand tremblingly.
It wasn't just Xie Qingxun's arms; every part of his body had cracked to varying degrees. It was as if something inside him was expanding and colliding, causing his body to crack and bleed uncontrollably. When his body reached its limit, it would completely shatter and turn into a pool of mud.
This was the backlash that Xie Qingxun suffered for forcibly suppressing the evil spirit in his body.
"Help me to the couch." Xie Qingxun was still able to stay awake.
Qu Yaoyao didn't dare touch him and wanted to find a good part of him to support. Xie Qingxun stretched out his hand to her and said self-deprecatingly, "This body is so broken, it doesn't matter where I support it."
It hurts anyway, so what if it hurts a little more?
In fact, it was not a big deal. He just needed to lie on the couch and rest for a while, waiting for the evil energy in his body to subside.
Qu Yaoyao had become a child now, and she spent a lot of energy to help him onto the bed. By the time she placed him on the side of the bed without a mattress, her body was covered with Xie Qingxun's blood.
"Is this okay?" Qu Yaoyao rolled the quilt inward again, revealing a large bare area of the ice bed.
Xie Qingxun hummed, his blood being absorbed by the ice bed. The wound began to freeze and emit cold air. Qu Yaoyao felt a pang of pain on her skin and bones, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you cold?"
"Would you like me to cover you with some blankets?"
Xie Qingxun was speechless.
His pale face was devoid of life, his thick, long eyelashes drooped in defeat, and he was slowly losing consciousness. When he completely lost consciousness, he whispered something to Qu Yaoyao in a very weak voice, but he was not sure if Qu Yaoyao heard it, nor was he able to do it.
Wow——
The chains rattle.
Tick-tock——
There are drops of water falling.
Falling into a coma, Xie Qingxun headed for the place he hated the most. In the vast, boundless darkness, he couldn't find a single crack or a way out. He felt his skin and bones being pierced by the cold, the pain numb to the point of becoming accustomed to it.
Qu Yaoyao has always been by his side.
She had little experience and hadn't been injured many times, but Xie Qingxun pushed her limits time and time again. When she thought the wounds Xie Qingxun had inflicted on her were the worst she had ever seen, he would always show her what was worse.
Xie Qingxun's body was still emitting cold air, and the frost that had been in the Longyun Tower before began to appear. The frost condensed very quickly. In just a few blinks of Qu Yaoyao's eyes, it spread throughout his body to form ice crystals, swallowing and wrapping Xie Qingxun bit by bit, turning him into an ice sculpture.
"Xie Qingxun."
"Xie Qingxun, wake up!" Qu Yaoyao panicked.
First she looked for something to start a fire, then she covered him with a blanket to keep him warm. Qu Yaoyao had almost used up all the methods to melt the ice, and finally she could only grit her teeth and throw herself on him, using the weak spiritual power that she had just recovered to keep him warm.
"I've only known you for a short time, but it feels like you're getting hurt every day."
Shivering from the cold, Qu Yaoyao recalled carefully and found that it seemed that Xie Qingxun had been injured repeatedly and his injuries were getting worse after he met her.
She just didn't understand a lot of things, not that she was so stupid that she didn't know anything. Qu Yaoyao vaguely realized that Xie Qingxun's injury this time was related to her. She couldn't help but agree with Xie Qingxun's words, "Maybe I really am here to jinx you."
"Did you owe me something in your past life?"
The icy cold stung people, and even though Qu Yaoyao possessed the essence of the Snow Lotus, she still felt uncomfortable. If even she felt cold, she couldn't imagine how cold and painful Xie Qingxun must be.
"Wake up!"
"I'm so sleepy. I can't sleep until the ice on your body melts."
"If you freeze to death, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Qu Yaoyao just heard Xie Qingxun whispering something in her ear. Although it was a little blurry, she caught the key words. He seemed to be saying, "...Talk to me."
He asked her to talk in his ear.
But how long would it take? Could he really hear me in his current state?
Although she had doubts, Qu Yaoyao still did it.
She personally considered herself a quiet and awkward girl, not very good at chatting. Having just been talking to Xie Qingxun for a while, she was now at a loss for words. She stared blankly at the 'ice sculpture' beneath her for a moment before she thought, "How about I read to you?"
That day, Xie Qingxun took her to the lower world to seek medical treatment. She bought several popular books, wanting to read more and learn more knowledge.
It had been so long since she came back, but she hadn't had time to read any books. Although Qu Yaoyao was a lotus, she was naturally literate. She took the time to take out the book, opened the first page, and read the big words at the top: "The Tyrannical Immortal Lord fell in love with me."
"Wow, so this book is about you?" Qu Yaoyao became interested. At this time, she didn't know that there was a kind of book in the lower world called bedtime reading for girls. The book was full of wild and imaginative nonsense, all of which were girls' most beautiful fantasies.
——The Domineering Immortal fell in love with me.
These seven words cut through the darkness without warning and reached Xie Qingxun's ears.
Qu Yaoyao's voice became clearer from blurry. She obeyed Xie Qingxun's "plea" very obediently and read in his ear with the baby voice of a little girl, making the dark and quiet void noisy.
"In the first chapter, a little village girl meets the Gentle Immortal Venerable for the first time and embarks on the long journey of cultivating immortality..."
Qu Yaoyao read it out word by word and couldn't help yawning.
From boredom to interest, and then from interest to confusion and sleepiness, Qu Yaoyao didn't know how long she had been reading. She only knew that the little village girls in the book were promoted from fairy maids to the fairy master's secret lover. The two of them took off their clothes and started biting each other. Xie Qingxun had not woken up yet.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
The sound of reading became quieter and quieter. Qu Yaoyao lay on the ice sculpture, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep unknowingly.
After she fell asleep, the ice sculpture beneath her slowly cracked and shattered, and as Xie Qingxun opened his eyes, it completely disappeared.
The author has something to say: Conquering Xiao Xie is another step forward.
Yaoyao is sleepy, and I am sleepy too.
I had to fill out a form temporarily, which delayed me for a long time. I can only update these first. I really get slapped in the face every day QAQ.
good evening.
