Chapter 135: You should be satisfied with the pills
Chapter 135:
"You know I'm going to kill you, but do you think I'll really be soft-hearted?" Xie Xiyi pinched Chi Yu's cheek harder. "What gives you the guts to bet with me?"
Chi Yu mumbled, "It's a lie to say you're not afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of death, even monks. But I still say that. As long as there's a one in a billion chance, I'll bet with you—so why don't you kill me?"
"Why?" Xie Xiyi chuckled softly, his pleasant voice slightly hoarse and cold. "Of course it's because you won, Xiaoyu."
When Chi Yu heard this name, his suspicions were finally confirmed. "You...didn't lose your memory?"
"Of course I've lost my memory, but I can retain some of it with forbidden spells." Xie Xiyi's gloves, covered in black mist, gently stroked Chi Yu's soft cheeks. "How could your husband bear to abandon you?"
Chi Yu: "...So you were lying to me just now?"
"..." Xie Xiyi chuckled softly, "I lied to you, but didn't you lie to me? I've made you addicted, yet you're still pretending to be just an ordinary fellow apprentice. Addiction can be suppressed once or twice, but Xiaoyu, this kind of thing, the more you suppress it, the more violent it will erupt. What are you going to do then?"
Chi Yu smiled and said, "A true man is one who can endure what ordinary people cannot. If I can endure it once, I can endure it twice, three times, and four times."
This sentence caused Xie Xiyi to fall into a long silence————
He realized that Chi Yu's words came from the bottom of his heart and he really would not give in, no matter what.
Why……
Xie Xiyi raised a question at an inappropriate time. His forbidden spell retained all the memories of Chi Yu in the previous cycle.
He knew that Chi Yu would show an expression that made people want to crush him and interfere with his spiritual cultivation.
But when she came to him, she was unwilling to bow her head no matter what.
Xie Xiyi had no curiosity about his past self, so when he explored Chi Yu's memories, he mostly skipped over the images of his other self. But the few that did appear in his consciousness were particularly... glaring.
Chi Yu's thoughts and ideas contained the owner's abundant emotions. In Chi Yu's mind, Xuan Ji's whole body was emitting a warm, god-like light. Whether it was his fingers, hair, eyelashes, the curve of his lips, or his golden pupils, there were very detailed pictures.
This represents a level of focus that cannot be ignored.
And he——
Xie Xiyi forcefully invaded Chi Yu's state of mind at the moment, and he could see that although he had attachment to him, it was also based on another self.
The purest emotion for him is... the fear that follows him everywhere.
This is the nature of Xie Xiyi who is controlled by the devil. He doesn't think it's bad that Chi Yu is afraid of him. He himself is a monster that feeds on fear, awe and despair. Fear is a reward for him.
But the truth is common, and he still couldn't help but feel intense anger and resentment.
This anger and resentment seemed to have no reason, and Xie Xiyi could not tell what it was. But behind this anger and resentment, there was also a bit of absurd pain and fear.
These emotions mixed together, making it impossible for him to distinguish his own emotions.
How could a monster that loves killing have such unnecessary emotions?
Was it because his body was a relic of Xuan Ji? As Chi Yu had said, it held remnants of Xuan Ji's awareness and wisdom.
He should be killed.
Xie Xiyi thought so rationally. Originally, he was just fulfilling the principle of his existence in this world. Like an animal, he would find a place to rest after eating, and then continue hunting. He felt so fulfilled, so relaxed, and so pure in pleasure and joy.
But after having a Taoist partner, his joy came so inappropriately, and his current mood also made him no longer like himself.
He should be killed.
Kill this monk who affects everything for him.
Kill him.
Xie Xiyi pinched Chi Yu's cheek and slid down to his slender white neck, and put his five fingers together to hold his neck.
"Have you changed your mind?" Chi Yu noticed Xie Xiyi's change and asked in a softer tone.
"Your neck is very thin. I can break it with just a little force from my fingers." Xie Xiyi lowered his voice and said something very scary.
Chi Yu didn't say anything, just stared at him with her beautiful golden eyes.
Xie Xiyi's five fingers suddenly exerted force, gripping his neck tightly, but soon, he suddenly released it, "You win."
The joy was gone from his voice, and because of his calmness, it seemed a little cold.
Chi Yu would never know the turbulent undercurrent in his heart - he couldn't do it.
He couldn't kill Chi Yu.
At this point, Xie Xiyi also realized that there were too many relics belonging to Xuan Ji in his body.
But these relics truly, extremely real, and cannot be ignored constitute the person he is today.
In other words, he is Xuan Ji... and Xuan Ji is also him.
However, Xie Xiyi refused to accept this fact.
Xie Xiyi took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Chi Yu. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Chi Yu asked: "Are you really not going to kill me?"
Xie Xiyi smiled calmly, "Since you are afraid of death, why do you keep forcing me to kill you?"
Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that I was right."
Xie Xiyi didn't want to talk more about this topic. "Hurry up and tell me, otherwise, I will regret it."
"..." Chi Yu said, "I want the poison in your body to disappear."
Xie Xiyi laughed out loud, a hint of sarcasm lingering in his throat. "If I could do that, your essence would have been gone long ago. I would fill your body with it until you give birth to a child for me."
This kind of vulgar talk made Chi Yu embarrassed and a little scared, but he was very unyielding and stabbed Xie Xiyi: "I've never heard of two different species giving birth to a child. Don't you know about reproductive isolation?"
Although there were some words he couldn't understand, Xie Xiyi could tell he was scolding him. He didn't take it seriously and smiled softly, "Anything that goes against common sense can be done with forbidden spells. But the poison in me is the original thing, so I can't do it."
Chi Yu's heart sank deeply. If that was the case, what else could he do?
"Let's change it." Xie Xiyi said.
Chi Yu managed to remain calm and said, "Okay, I'll change it, but you have to let me think about it."
"Okay." Xie Xiyi chuckled, "Now, can you let me out?"
Chi Yu said, "No."
"No?" An eyebrow rose slightly behind the mask. "So, you're holding me as a prisoner?"
"That's not what I meant, but I think you're right," Chi Yu said.
Xie Xiyi: "Interesting... Do you think this secret place can keep me locked up forever?"
Chi Yu laughed. "I don't think I can keep you locked up forever, but since there's no one else here, you won't kill... and you won't set your sights on anyone other than me. This way, I actually feel a bit more peaceful and tranquil."
As he spoke later, he softened his tone and looked at Xie Xiyi with a pair of golden eyes flashing with beautiful light.
Xie Xiyi smelled the scent of lies. This person was always sincere when he shouldn't be sincere, and cunningly lied when he should be sincere.
But... this is also...
Xie Xiyi was silent. He could no longer laugh.
He turned and left without saying a word.
This huge space is an excellent cage. Xie Xiyi flew in the air for a long time but could not see the boundary.
The black mist on his body was suppressed, and black chains emitting an ominous aura emerged from his sleeves. Soon, countless tiny forbidden spells were swallowed and spit out.
At this moment, Chi Yu felt the vibration of space.
He immediately understood that it was Xie Xiyi who was attacking this secret realm.
Xue Yi appeared beside him and said, "Your senior brother is truly terrifying. The forbidden spells he wields are as numerous as the stars."
Chi Yu was absentminded. "Senior, how can I get him to take this pill? His body is full of poisons, and it might poison half of his heart."
Xue Yi said, "I can't help him with this. The poison in his body is not an ordinary poison. It should be a poison catalyzed by the use of a monster venom sac as an initiator and a forbidden spell. This monster venom sac can be slightly controlled after being refined, but he used the forbidden spell to increase its aggressiveness. It is no longer reversible."
"What should I do then?" Chi Yu couldn't help but become anxious and couldn't help biting his fingers.
Even though he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he still retains a lot of the childish temperament of a young man.
Xue Yi looked at him with a soft heart, as if she had seen her grandson Xue Qi, and her tone softened, "Just stay calm. Panic won't solve any problems."
"Yes." Chi Yu listened to the advice and quickly calmed down.
He suddenly thought of the grab function on the system panel.
So, what does this feature mean?
Chi Yu opened the system panel and looked at the introduction of Jueduo.
Actually, although the system has few functions and is not very intelligent, everything it provides is still useful.
This often gave Chi Yu a faint sense of absurdity - this system was always stuck between being completely useless and actually being somewhat useful.
Chi Yu likes to listen to music and sing, but he doesn’t think it’s necessary to give him a QQ Music app after traveling to "Shentu". He is not in the mood to listen to music at all.
This function did play a certain role when I was getting along with Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
The same goes for backtracking. Two backtrackings are exactly one go and one return, so precise as if they had been measured.
The description of snatching seemed to be able to solve his current predicament.
Want to take a gamble?
After pondering for a moment, Chi Yu decided to take a gamble!
He has already won once, so why not try again?
Chi Yu could control the secret realm at will, so Xie Xiyi, who was far away from him and was attacking the secret realm, was quickly transferred in front of him. Before Xie Xiyi appeared, Xue Yi disappeared again.
Xie Xiyi was not surprised at all that he was moved in front of him. He was surrounded by black forbidden spells, which landed on his shoulders and arms like rhythmic butterflies. However, the combined aura of the many forbidden spells was very uncomfortable.
Xie Xiyi didn't say anything. After what happened just now, he seemed to have become a mute, without even a masked smile of joy.
Huandian, who was held in his arms forcibly, was very excited and kept trying to break free and get close to Chi Yu.
But Xie Xiyi held it so tightly that it could not break free at all. Xie Xiyi even soon became tired of its noise and used a tiny forbidden spell to temporarily seal it, so that he could have a moment of peace.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji." Chi Yu called softly.
Xie Xiyi remained silent.
Chi Yu did not hesitate and decisively pressed the grab button.
Soon, the number [0/1] for the grabbing changed to [0/0], and a box and an electronic keyboard appeared. Next to the box appeared a message "(Please fill in the substance/function/emotion/part of the object you want to grab)"
Chi Yu: "..."
No, it has become smarter now?
Chi Yu typed without hesitation with his spiritual sense: Seize the poison from Senior Brother Xuan Ji
This move is very risky, but Chi Yu has no other choice now.
The frame disappeared, and the grab button and the backtracking button turned gray, indicating that they could not be used again.
Chi Yu didn't know whether it was successful or not. Just when he was feeling anxious, a line of words appeared on the system panel under the rejuvenation function again.
【Toxin Immunity】: Immune to any toxin (crossed out)
[99.999% Toxin Immunity]: Immune to most toxins (If the target of the grab is using forbidden spells, the complete grab will fail, as only 99.999% immunity remains)
[Immunity Enhancement]: Adds immunity to toxins to items, but still only has a 99.999% chance of immunity.
Although the probability of immunity is only 99.999%, it still perfectly solves his current dilemma.
However, Chi Yu keenly noticed that there was something wrong with this grabbing function.
Not only plundering, but also looking back.
Because this doesn't seem like a forbidden spell that Xie Xiyi can perform now!
Otherwise, with Xie Xiyi's current temperament, he would definitely use it on him without any surprise, and his back door would have been lost long ago.
There is a problem.
But now Chi Yu had no intention of delving into these details.
He couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he called out again, "Senior Brother Xuanji, I have thought of a new request."
Xie Xiyi said calmly, "Go ahead."
Chi Yu took out the snow-white pill from the Xumi Ring, held it in his hand, and gave it the function of immunity to toxins. Then he handed it to Xie Xiyi and said, "I hope you can eat it."
Xie Xiyi looked at the snow-white pill, and suddenly, he laughed softly, "What is this?"
"Don't ask, just eat it." Chi Yu said.
Xie Xiyi laughed softly and said, "You don't want to murder your husband, do you? But I have to tell you one thing, I can't die."
"Is that what you think of me?" Chi Yu laughed. "We are Taoist companions. No matter what happens, I will not harm you."
"If it's not me, then it's...half of your heart, right?"
Chi Yu was stunned, and this moment he lost the opportunity to deny it.
"I should have said that I want your heart to stay safe in your chest." Xie Xiyi's voice became a little more sinister.
An unfamiliar feeling of anger washed over him again, making him really want to crush Chi Yu.
Why... do you have to go to this extent?
He didn't care at all whether he was Xuan Ji or not, but he wanted him to be, even giving up the most important thing for a cultivator.
The moment Chi Yu wanted to take back the snow-white pill, Xie Xiyi snatched the snow-white pill from his hand.
"Since you don't want this half of your heart, let me make a decision for you." Xie Xiyi said with a smile, and closed his palms covered with black mist, crushing the pill amid Chi Yu's broken and terrified screams.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji!!! What are you doing???" Chi Yu's face flushed red, and his golden eyes were filled with anger and loss of control.
The blood seeping from the pill dripped onto the ground. Xie Xiyi shook his hand gently to get rid of the blood. "I just did what I wanted to do." He said with a smile.
Chi Yu fell to the ground, finally unable to control himself. Big tears emerged from his golden pupils and fell like rain.
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He said softly, "You are already a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, not a child. Why are you crying over such a trivial matter?"
Chi Yu ignored him, he covered his face and cried silently.
In fact, it shouldn't be like this. Chi Yu thought that he was never weak, and tears were the passport of weak people. But at this moment, he knew very clearly that men don't shed tears easily, but they just didn't feel sad enough.
He felt hopeless.
He no longer had any extra heart to give to Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
He couldn't save Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
He did not fulfill his promise to Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Through his tearful eyes, he saw a large shadow. It was Xie Xiyi's figure looming over him.
"Don't cry." Xie Xiyi's light and pleasant voice lowered, and his tall body bent down inch by inch, and finally, half-knelt in front of him.
A hand covered in black mist stretched out, and a pill emitting white fluorescence appeared in his palm. "I lied to you."
Chi Yu raised her face, wiped her tears with her hand, lowered her head to look at the pill, and looked at Xie Xiyi with some disbelief.
He chuckled and said, "Don't cry, I admit defeat."
After saying that, he took off the black mask in front of Chi Yu, revealing a face full of black runes, and his black pupils were as deep as ink.
He looked at Chi Yu, picked up the snow-white pill with two fingers, opened his lips and swallowed it.
"Then you should be satisfied."
