Chapter 148: I don’t like to treasure other people’s things on you…
Chapter 148:
Black fog always covered Xie Xiyi's hands, so that he could touch Chi Yu. However, the black fog would block seven-tenths of his sense of touch, leaving only three-tenths. Most of the time, Xie Xiyi could only feel the burning and stinging sensation of Chi Yu's true yang as a Nascent Soul cultivator. For the rest, he had no perception.
Five hundred years ago, he had many opportunities to have physical contact with Chi Yu. He could still vaguely remember that Chi Yu's skin was quite soft because she seldom exercised. Her whole body was slender, except for her buttocks, which had a lot of flesh and felt very good.
As a cultivator, these five physical senses were so unremarkable compared to spiritual communication that he had no idea about it five hundred years ago.
But it was not until he lost this opportunity and realized that Chi Yu had always been optimistic and his ideas were very different from those in the world of cultivation that he felt a strong sense of regret and longing.
His gaze passed through the mask and fell on Chi Yu, slowly wandering around. Perhaps because he loved her, his features, which he had not looked at carefully before, now became particularly clear and moving.
Even her tiny, trembling eyelashes made him feel very adorable.
Chi Yu was undoubtedly handsome. In the world of cultivation filled with handsome men and beautiful women, his looks might not be considered top-notch, but the sparkling light emanating from his eyes was enough to rival that of any immortal king or fairy.
For such a wonderful person, it is natural to want everything from him, except spiritual connection.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xiyi's gaze was so sticky that Chi Yu broke out in a sweat. Soon he couldn't hold it back anymore and changed the subject very abruptly, "Senior Brother Xuanji, you haven't finished speaking yet. I didn't understand what you just said."
Xie Xiyi said nonchalantly, "It's just as I said."
Chi Yu: "I don't understand, Senior Brother Xuanji, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me directly."
Xie Xiyi chuckled softly and said, "No matter how many times time passes, this clan will be destroyed. This is fate. But there is a way to change it. If we follow fate, there is a glimmer of hope."
Chi Yu: "...Senior Brother Xuanji, please speak some human language, please."
"..." Xie Xiyi didn't argue with him and continued, "Do you know why the Buddhist sect stood by and watched?"
Chi Yu said, "I know. Venerable Shangshan told me that Buddhism only came up with the best solution at that time."
Xie Xiyi's pleasant voice was tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "Indeed, from the perspective of the Buddhist community, this is the optimal solution. But they are doing this for this world—if the Xie family is destroyed, even without you, I will embark on the path of destroying this world. Because I am so vindictive.
If Heaven destroys my family, I will certainly destroy the world he relies on and hopes for."
"Zizaizhou was unable to resist the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, for the sake of this world, the Buddhist sect followed the will of heaven and fanned the flames. They accepted Qingxuan and Mingxin, started the Hongbao training in advance, opened the Tiangang Secret Realm in advance, and brought the most likely karmic convergence under the nose of the Heavenly Dao. As a result, the present situation five hundred years later naturally came into being."
Chi Yu swallowed, "And then?"
"And then?" Xie Xiyi laughed, his laughter sounding sinister. "The Xie family is now suffering from the pain of having their flesh gouged out, their blood sucked out, and their very bones dug out, but at least they have survived. This is what we have done. It is in accordance with fate."
Chi Yu: "Not saving them is to obey fate?"
Xie Xiyi said, "I don't want to save them. I can save them once, but not twice, three times, or four times. Only when they break free from the shackles of fate on their own can they gain the freedom that belongs to their clan."
Chi Yu murmured, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I don't quite understand."
Xie Xiyi said: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that if they die, this world will eventually become the nourishment of the Demon Kingdom."
After saying this, he laughed softly, not hiding his madness and paranoia at all.
Chi Yu: "..."
He thought of what Venerable Shangshan said. How many reincarnations has this been?
Chi Yu belatedly remembered Xie Xiyi whom he met in the crack of the secret realm, and the "Chi Yu" he mentioned.
What a strange feeling.
Chi Yu is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart, but those who are involved in the matter are often confused while those who are on the sidelines can see things clearly. When this kind of thing happens to him, he always feels that there is a fog that makes it difficult to distinguish.
Chi Yu thought about his broken system again - the system task was to kill the villain Xie Xiyi so that he could go home.
He had long since given up on this mission, and therefore rarely used the system anymore. But tracing back to the source, unraveling the mystery, wasn't this task harder than climbing to the sky for him?
Even if the system gave him a strategy guide, it would be useless to the Demon Heart Xie Xiyi.
The system allowed him to go back five hundred years to experience all this and then go back five hundred years to allow him to conquer the evil heart Xie Xiyi, but his personality would definitely make it impossible for him to attack Xie Xiyi again.
Chi Yu recalled that when he first arrived, he even directly exposed the system's underwear - this system has no confidentiality mechanism at all, which is very unreasonable.
Therefore, the origin of this system seems very suspicious.
But Chi Yu couldn't think of anything more. After all, this system didn't harm him, but it didn't help him much either.
Could it be the "system" of heaven?
The more Chi Yu thought about it, the more confused he became. After hesitating for a moment, he directly mentioned this system to Xie Xiyi.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you should remember that I have a lot of secrets, right?" Chi Yu went straight to the point.
Xie Xiyi remained silent, as if waiting for him to continue.
Chi Yu didn't keep him in suspense and spoke directly, "I have a system. To be honest, Senior Brother Xuanji, I came to this world with a mission. This mission is to kill you so that I can go home."
Xie Xiyi tilted his head and looked at him.
Chi Yu quickly explained, "Brother Xuanji, please don't misunderstand me. Five hundred years ago, when we went to Hongbao for training and I knew you were Xie Xiyi, I had already given up this mission."
Xie Xiyi was slightly dazed, recalling the memories of the Demon Heart period, and the words that Chi Yu, who had not yet returned to five hundred years ago and was still in the Qi Refining period, said while hugging his thighs with tears in his eyes.
His heart ached. He never forgot for a moment that he had killed Chi Yu twice and once used a not-so-good forbidden spell on him. Although it did not hurt, it did make Chi Yu feel infinite fear.
Xie Xiyi's whole body stiffened, then slowly relaxed, and he listened to him continue talking without any expression.
"...It was this system that allowed me to travel back five hundred years. I took two forbidden spells from you. The system absorbed them and transformed them into two functions: one called Retrace, and the other called Snatch."
"I don't have this kind of forbidden spell." Xie Xiyi said, "Retracing involves time and space. It is the highest level of forbidden spell, or in other words, divine spell."
After he said that, he recalled the whole year he spent writing the forbidden spell of time under the Nine Nether Dark River. If he knew such a forbidden spell, how could there be so many things that happened five hundred years later?
He still hasn't mastered the forbidden spell of time.
Ultimately, all the forbidden spells Xie Xiyi currently possessed originated from the Demon Heart, which was a collection of Xie Xiyi's cultivation experience and killing methods from his previous reincarnation.
Mo Xin has never mastered the forbidden spell of time, so Xie Xiyi naturally cannot master it either.
Therefore, his efforts under the Nine Nether Dark River five hundred years ago seemed particularly pale - Demon Heart was clearly the final form of Xie Xiyi in the previous reincarnation, with top-level combat power that could subvert the world and establish the Demon Kingdom. With such a powerful posture, he was unable to master the forbidden spell of time. He cultivated the Golden Core Realm externally and the Infinite Pure Heaven Realm, the second realm of the third meditation, internally. How could he write the forbidden spell of time?
His failure was inevitable. At the moment of life and death, the devil's heart controlled his body and prevented Xie Xiyi from being corroded by the dark energy of the Nine Nether Dark River and dying.
Chi Yu asked, "What about Jueduo?"
Xie Xiyi: "What ability?"
Chi Yu was about to speak, but swallowed the words back.
Senior Brother Xuan Ji, if he knew that he was immune to the toxins in his body, he would definitely have skin-to-skin contact with him.
In fact, he was fond of Senior Brother Xuan Ji and was not opposed to physical intimacy with him, but Chi Yu had no intention of falling in love in this world. His heart of Taoism was still firm, so how could he give Xie Xiyi the opportunity to take advantage of him?
Therefore, this is a secret and must never be spoken out loud.
Thinking of this, Chi Yu let it go.
Xie Xiyi naturally sensed his ambiguity, but he didn't care. What he cared about was the forbidden spell that Chi Yu mentioned, which was obviously not obtained from him.
He stretched out his hand to Chi Yu, and black rune chains flew out and wrapped around Chi Yu.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji..." Chi Yu called softly.
Xie Xiyi stretched out a slender, bone-white finger and placed it in front of the mask. "Shh, be quiet."
Chi Yu then obediently shut up.
Xie Xiyi approached him, and the black rune chain emitted bursts of faint light. Soon, the chain broke into countless tiny runes, spinning rapidly on Chi Yu's body.
Chi Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at the shocking scene. After an unknown amount of time, some tiny runes seeped into Chi Yu's skin like water drops into the lake.
Soon, Chi Yu's system panel appeared with a flashing white screen.
Chi Yu looked at Xie Xiyi in surprise, "Senior Brother Xuanji, what do you want to do?"
Xie Xiyi said: "I don't like other people's things on you."
After he said that, he stretched out his hand, and the forbidden spell absorbed a ball of light, which flew into his hand.
However, something unexpected happened. Just as the ball of light was about to fall into Xie Xiyi's hands, a strong forbidden spell wave appeared in the air, and the ball of light disappeared out of thin air.
Xie Xiyi's voice changed slightly, "Time... a forbidden technique."
Chi Yu tried to open the system panel, and good thing it was gone.
Chi Yu complained, "Brother Xuanji, this is my golden finger after all!" Having a system is better than not having one!!!
Xie Xiyi came back to his senses and said softly, "I will compensate you."

In another world, at noon when the sun is shining brightly.
A tall young man stood at the gate of the middle school. It was the time when the school was about to end, so there were many parents coming to pick up their children and bring them lunch.
However, among the crowd, this young man was undoubtedly the focus of the crowd.
He was very tall, wearing a white, elegant shirt with a belt around his waist that tightened his narrow waist and made his shoulders and back look particularly broad. He wore black suit trousers and leather shoes, looking like a successful man.
However, the dress of such a successful person is actually a head of long black hair like ink jade, and the hair shows a soft and shiny luster in the sun. Not only does it not feel out of place, but it also looks naturally noble and elegant.
In addition to his upright and dignified appearance and strong aura, the young man is also very good-looking, handsome and beautiful, sacred and unattainable.
Everyone's eyes fell on him. Under the scorching sun, just looking at this young man made everyone feel strangely cool in their hearts.
The announcement of the end of school sounded and students began to leave the school one after another.
Many students' eyes widened when they saw the young man. They couldn't help but turn around to look at him, whispering, "Who is that?"
"I don't know?"
"Someone's brother."
"She's so pretty."
The young man turned a deaf ear to it, with a faint smile on his face. Suddenly, he felt something, reached out his hand, and grabbed the ball of light that appeared out of thin air.
The ball of light flickered with a subtle electric current, making a crackling sound. The young man said with a smile, "No, I regret this."
"Why?" the young man laughed wantonly and ostentatiously. "Because I'm what you call a villain... The basic ethics of a villain is to break your promise and make a fortune."
After the young man said this, he crushed the ball of light.
"Brother," the young man's vibrant voice rang in his ears.
The young man raised his eyes and met the boy's bright eyes. He naturally extended his hand. The boy hesitated for a moment before placing the schoolbag in his hand and said, "No need, actually. I'm not a child anymore. I can carry my schoolbag by myself."
"No way." The young man laughed softly, "This is my job."
The boy scratched his head and said, "Okay, if this makes you feel comfortable."
The young man suddenly paused and picked up a telephone cord bracelet with a key attached. The boy took a look and said, "This is the key to my locker."
The young man said, "Give it to me."
Boy: "Uh. Okay, brother, if you want it, I'll give it to you."
The young man lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and put the bracelet on his wrist with great care.
