Chapter 75 Immortal Lord 075%
“…”
During the time that Qu Yaoyao was imprisoned, Xie Qingxun took action against Pei Ziyi.
He produced evidence of collusion between Pei Ziyi and Qu Yingsi. It was not just a simple master-servant relationship. The two had been secretly communicating with each other for many years, and had private trysts to do shameful things. These things were laid out one by one in front of everyone in the main sect by Xie Qingxun, causing an uproar.
One is an elderly widower sect leader, and the other is a high and mighty young immortal. They are a master and a servant, and there is a huge age difference between them. Even if these two people are together openly, it will become a scandal, let alone they are secretly communicating with each other.
In this way, Qu Yingsi had a reason to collude with the demon world, that is, she was instructed by the Immortal Master Zi Cang, and in his name, she eliminated the sects that were not beneficial to her, and by the way, she put the blame on the ancient Phoenix clan.
"Are you happy?"
In the dark room, Xie Qingxun recounted everything that had happened outside to Qu Yaoyao. He held her in his arms, soaking her in the cool water, and said, "Pei Ziyi has been imprisoned in the Du'eyuan. This morning, I interrogated him and whipped him for a long time with the Eighteen-Section Hooked Bone Whip. Does this count as revenge for you?"
Xie Qingxun cares about Qu Yaoyao.
When he learned that Qu Yaoyao had been deliberately punished severely by Pei Ziyi, he appeared angry that she hadn't listened to him, but in reality, he was furious with himself. He was furious that he hadn't stood up high enough, that he couldn't do anything about Pei Ziyi, that he couldn't fight back for Qu Yaoyao.
He was a man who held grudges. He had only remembered his own enemies before, but now he also remembered those who had hurt the girl he loved. He waited and waited, waiting for the plan to close, and waited until he got the severe punishment of fifteen lashes for Qu Yaoyao.
"Look how much I love you." Xie Qingxun taunted. He lowered his eyes to look at the girl leaning on his arms, touched her cheek and said, "But look at what you have done for me?"
She lied to him, hurt him, and would rather give the Kunlun Stone to Mo Xuanxiao than to him.
"Yaoyao, you really make me sad."
Qu Yaoyao closed her eyes.
After many days of imprisonment, she was like a withered flower gradually losing nutrients, allowing herself to be manipulated by Xie Qingxun. She had not spoken for a long time, and most of the time she just listened to Xie Qingxun in silence, and still ignored his torture of Kunlun Stone.
After Xie Qingxun left this time, she wondered, had she done anything wrong?
Chong'an said that the Kunlun Stone was related to her life, so she hid the Kunlun Stone and refused to give it to Xie Qingxun. Xie Qingxun then said that the Kunlun Stone was more important than his life, and he hated her for lying to him and not giving him the Kunlun Stone.
It seemed like she had always done whatever others told her to do, without any thought or judgment of her own. Because of this, she made one mistake after another, letting others sway her and persuade her to act according to their wishes. In the end, she let both sides down and ended up being imprisoned and hated.
Now that she has lost Chong'an, even Xie Qingxun hates her. The most ridiculous thing is that she is trying to verify from Xie Qingxun who is more important, her or Kunlun Stone.
"Today is the tenth day." Xie Qingxun came again.
Qu Yaoyao woke up from her coma. No matter how hard she opened her eyes, she couldn't see the person in front of her. She thought to herself, it's only the tenth day. She thought she had been in the dark for several months, so long that she almost forgot Xie Qingxun's face.
"Do you want the Kunlun Stone so much?" Qu Yaoyao finally spoke.
She had been silent for so long that her voice was hoarse and no longer as soft and sweet as before. Looking at the blurry black shadow before her, she began to explain, "I refuse to give you the Kunlun Stone because someone told me that it's my life and that giving it to you would kill me."
Once you say one sentence, the rest of the words will come out easily.
"I didn't mean to lie to you. I don't know what happened to you in the desolate sea. I regretted it afterwards, but I couldn't tell you the truth because I still wanted to live, to stay by your side, and to see the world."
"I thought you could survive even without the Kunlun Stone." He was still alive without the Kunlun Stone, but Qu Yaoyao would die without the Kunlun Stone.
So, "Even if you know all this, are you still determined to take the Kunlun Stone from me?"
Xie Qingxun stared at her in the darkness.
Qu Yaoyao couldn't see him clearly, but he grew up in darkness. Although he was afraid of it, he could see most clearly in the darkness. He just wanted to laugh after hearing what Qu Yaoyao said. He knelt down in front of her and asked, "Do you believe everything others say?"
Xie Qingxun said, "If I tell you now that you won't give me the Kunlun Stone, you'll die. Will you give it to me?"
He no longer trusted her.
Qu Yaoyao shook her head. "He wouldn't lie to me. I believe him."
"Then why don't you believe me?"
Xie Qingxun narrowed his eyes and lifted Qu Yaoyao's chin with force. "Who said these things to you? Chongnan?"
Qu Yaoyao was silent. She had promised Chong'an not to reveal his name, but Xie Qingxun sneered, "At this point, you still want to lie to me. Do you really think I don't know anything?"
The hazy darkness was slightly dispelled, and a red light flashed before her eyes. Qu Yaoyao saw her blood drop pendant.
"Give it to me..." Qu Yaoyao wanted to reach out to take it, but Xie Qingxun blocked her with his arm.
He clutched the pendant tightly, his knuckles turning pale from the strain, and asked word by word, "Is the Chongnan you mentioned this?"
"Did it use teleportation to take you away from me time and time again? Did it take you to Zhuzhen Tower to witness me killing someone? Did it trick you into destroying the Kunlun Stone and deceiving me? Or did it deliberately want you to be close to Mo Xuanxiao, so that you would betray me and flee to the lower realms?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head in shock and could only say weakly, "No..."
She also wanted to take the pendant that Xie Qingxun was holding, like a fish out of water desperately trying to escape back into the water. She had been imprisoned here for so long and had never asked Xie Qingxun for anything, but now, for this pendant, she grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Please, give it back to me, it's really important to me."
Qu Yaoyao was extremely scared at this moment. A strong premonition told her that if she didn't get the pendant back, Chong'an would be in danger.
She was too anxious, so she didn't realize that her appearance in Xie Qingxun's eyes would only make him more violent and gloomy.
Separating Qu Yaoyao's hands again and again, Xie Qingxun slowly tightened his grip on the pendant. "You've repeatedly deceived me and escaped from me for it, and you're willing to listen to anything it says. If it asks you to kill me, will you also pick up Lian Chao without hesitation?"
Noticing the change in Qu Yaoyao's expression, he couldn't help but laugh and said grimly, "It seems that it has said this before."
"Since you're using the Kunlun Stone to compare its importance to me, I'd like to ask you, between this pendant and me... which one do you choose?"
Qu Yaoyao heard the hint in Xie Qingxun's words. She didn't expect things to get so out of control. She hurriedly said, "As long as you give me the pendant, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Kunlun Stone!"
She has already thought about it.
Before Xie Qingxun arrived, she had already prepared to reveal the whereabouts of the Kunlun Stone. Unfortunately, Xie Qingxun didn't give her another chance. After hearing her answer, he said calmly, "So, this is what you chose?"
Snap——
The red light shattered into stars, and Xie Qingxun crushed the pendant in front of Qu Yaoyao.
Fine light powder flowed from between his fingers, and he mercilessly sprinkled it all on the ground, not leaving even a residue for Qu Yaoyao.
"I really want to know the whereabouts of the Kunlun Stone."
Seeing Qu Yaoyao's stunned expression, Xie Qingxun didn't feel much better. He leaned closer and whispered into Qu Yaoyao's ear, "But I won't let you use this as a bargaining chip."
“…”
Xie Qingxun destroyed the pendant.
Xie Qingxun destroyed Chong'an.
It was not until she saw the pendant disappear in front of her that Qu Yaoyao realized that she had never asked Chong'an, "Without the pendant, are you still here?"
"Chong'an."
"Chong'an..." After Xie Qingxun left, Qu Yaoyao called out this name again and again. She touched the ground in front of her with trembling hands, but could not feel anything.
The pendant was destroyed, and it seemed that even Chong'an disappeared with it.
No matter how Qu Yaoyao called him, she got no response from him. Her eyes were sore and painful, and big tears fell to the ground. Qu Yaoyao couldn't help but think of when she was brought back by Xie Qingxun, Chong'an was standing alone in the snow looking at her.
He said, “You’re going to regret this.”
Qu Yaoyao already regretted it.
So when Xie Qingxun came over again, she found his direction and took the initiative to rush over and hug him. Xie Qingxun's body froze. He didn't hug back, nor did he push away. He just taunted, "Don't you think it's too late to learn to throw yourself into someone's arms now?"
Qu Yaoyao hugged him tightly.
She breathed in the fresh air from him, closed her eyes and said, "The Kunlun Stone is hidden in the Wanmen Immortal Sect. Do you want to know where it is?"
Xie Qingxun didn't say anything, so Qu Yaoyao rubbed his neck with her cheek and said, "You can tell me, but you have to agree to two requests of mine."
"First thing, be gentle to me again." As she said that, she tiptoed to kiss the corner of Xie Qingxun's lips, but was avoided as expected.
Xie Qingxun spoke in the darkness: "What about the second thing?"
Qu Yaoyao lowered her eyelashes and said, "I'll tell you when you finish the first thing."
Xie Qingxun scoffed. He didn't believe Qu Yaoyao would suddenly come to her senses, especially after he had just crushed her pendant. Finally, he raised his arms and put his arms around Qu Yaoyao's waist. He lowered his head and looked at her with a gloomy expression. "Second thing, are you trying to take this opportunity to kill me to avenge your pendant?"
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, "I've never thought of it this way."
"really?"
Qu Yaoyao said, "If you don't believe me, then lock me up here forever."
Xie Qingxun stared at her for a long time, so long that Qu Yaoyao thought he would not agree. It was very dark here, so dark that Qu Yaoyao could not see Xie Qingxun's eyebrows, and could not imagine his expression, but she could feel that he was looking at her, always looking at her.
"You..." Qu Yaoyao was about to say something else when something cold and soft blocked her lips.
Their breaths mingled, and Qu Yaoyao felt Xie Qingxun's grip on her was incredibly strong, yet gentle. He fulfilled her request as promised, treating her like a treasure, his kisses spreading from the corner of her lips to her neck and shoulders. The sound of their breathing was drowned out by the clanking of chains, filling the room.
"Do you still like me?" Deep in love, Qu Yaoyao hugged Xie Qingxun's neck and asked softly.
Xie Qingxun paused, tightening his grip on the back of her neck. He asked hoarsely, "Are you still qualified to be liked by me?"
What else does he want to like about her?
Did he like her deception? Did he like the hurt she caused him? Or did he like the fact that she trusted a broken pendant more than him?
Qu Yaoyao hummed softly and didn't ask any more questions. But soon, Xie Qingxun felt hot liquid dripping onto his shoulder, and heard a small, soft apology in his ear: "I'm sorry."
She was too stupid to learn how to behave, and she hurt others invisibly while being ignorant, bringing disaster to the Immortal Lord she had always been obsessed with.
"I don't need an apology." Xie Qingxun was inexplicably annoyed. "What is your second request?"
Qu Yaoyao buried her face in his body and hugged him tightly for the last time. She said, "Since I have hurt you and you don't like me anymore, then I will tell you the whereabouts of the Kunlun Stone, and then you can let me go."
"What did you say?" Xie Qingxun's voice suddenly rose.
Qu Yaoyao raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face. "I don't deserve to be liked by you, nor do I deserve to be a human being. Instead of this, why not let the name Qu Yaoyao disappear from now on?"
Perhaps, only by being herself again can she stop hurting others and being hurt by others.
Xie Qingxun had a bad feeling in his heart. The moment Qu Yaoyao pushed him away, he stood up and wanted to grab her back. However, before he could raise his hand, he felt a familiar numbness and couldn't help but sit back in the pool.
"What did you do?" Xie Qingxun asked in a cold tone.
Qu Yaoyao groped her way out of the pool and said, "Don't worry, it's Longquan."
Back in Longyun Tower, she was so wary of Xie Qingxun that she secretly took the Dragon Spring and kept it on her body, never expecting it to come in handy one day. She had no intention of killing Xie Qingxun, and this time she didn't lie to him. She took a drop of blood from his fingertip and placed it between her eyebrows.
"The Kunlun Stone is hidden in the Wanmen Immortal Sect, in the Immortal Ruins."
"I don't want to lie to you anymore, but I can't let him down anymore, so I hid the Kunlun Stone in a place I thought you could find it. But if you can't find it..."
Qu Yaoyao shook her head and murmured, "You've already been to the Desolate Sea. You probably won't take the small Wanmen Immortal Sect seriously."
Xie Qingxun closed his eyes.
He couldn't move now, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't listen to what Qu Yaoyao said. He only knew that Qu Yaoyao had played a trick on him again, what did it mean to be gentle to her once again? Her purpose was simply to make him accidentally eat the Dragon Spring.
"Qu Yaoyao, you are so brave."
Qu Yaoyao didn't say anything. She accidentally tripped over the chain on the ground and groped her way forward. When she was out of Xie Qingxun's sight, she felt that his voice was a little panicked.
He threatened her coldly: "If you dare to step out of here, I will kill you if I see you again."
"Then you probably won't be able to see me."
Qu Yaoyao replied to him one last time, and with the help of a drop of Xie Qingxun's blood, she broke through the dark space. When she got out of the barrier, she found that there was a room outside the barrier. The room was dark with an unlit candle. With the help of the dim moonlight outside the window, she could see the furnishings in the room clearly.
It turned out that she was still in Xie Qingxun's bedroom.
It turned out that when she was in the darkness, Xie Qingxun was only separated from her by a thin barrier.
It was dark outside and everything was silent.
Qu Yaoyao's cultivation was sealed by Xie Qingxun himself. She could escape the barrier with his blood, but he couldn't unlock it for herself. Because the Dragon Spring couldn't last long, she had to leave as soon as possible.
As soon as she pushed open the door, a dark shadow fluttered down in front of her. Qu Yaoyao stopped in her tracks and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Qu Yushu took off the mask on his face. Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally waited for you."
"Why is my brother here?"
Qu Yushu gave her a strange look and said, "Didn't you ask me to come to Wangxu to wait for you?"
She has always been trapped by Xie Qingxun. When did she ever say such words?
But before she could ask any more questions, Qu Yushu grabbed her hand, looked around and said, "This is not a place to stay for long. I will take you to a safe place."
The safe place he mentioned was the ownerless Zhenxu.
The author has something to say: The next chapter should be the end of this volume.
But it’s not a sacrifice, it’s not a sacrifice, it’s not a sacrifice, people will die anyway.
