"I want to thank you for telling me." Yin Yue suddenly smiled.
Xie Jiuchuan remained silent.
Yin Yue murmured softly, "That way, you can die sooner."
......
This side.
When He Yan emerged from the cave, his cultivation had already advanced by a major realm.
This mountain holds the treasures left behind by the late patriarch of the He family. The patriarch once told him that he must come here to inherit them at a crucial moment.
He Yan had already concealed his cultivation level, and after consuming a celestial-grade pill left behind by his ancestor, his cultivation level immediately reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
However, due to the excessive leap, his spirit was extremely unstable, and he was at risk of going berserk and losing his soul at any moment.
His cheeks were a cold, pale white, but the corners of his eyes were tinged with crimson, like a bloodthirsty flower blooming in the desert.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, they encountered a bear demon at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He Yan drew his sword, and the radiant cold light struck the bear demon directly.
A sword tassel, washed white, flashed before his eyes, and He Yan was suddenly stunned.
This sword tassel was given to him by Xi Xingxue a long time ago.
At that time, he only hated Xi Xingxue and therefore loathed him. He could only pretend to live under Xi Xingxue's command, so he never dared to throw away the sword tassel. He kept it carefully and washed it when it got dirty.
Now... he is no longer Xi Xingxue's apprentice, so there's no need to deliberately keep this thing.
After the bear demon was killed, a lone sword tassel lay on the ground.
However, after a short while, He Yan returned, the redness at the corners of his eyes spreading even more. He bent down and searched for something on the ground without regard for his image.
"Found it."
He Yan gripped the sword tassel tightly in his palm, his expression a mixture of joy and sorrow, a self-deprecating laugh escaping his throat.
"Xi Xingxue..."
On the ground, a little rabbit shivered and stumbled over, accidentally bumping its head into the man's leg.
He Yan lowered his head, his usually gentle eyes now bloodshot, making him appear somewhat cold.
The little rabbit nuzzled against him affectionately, expressing its fondness.
He Yan was silent for a moment, then picked up the rabbit with one hand.
The rabbit's ruby-like eyes reflected the human face.
It was an exceptionally beautiful face, with a straight nose, deep-set eyes, and exquisite features. It was just a pity that the face was too pale and the corners of the eyes had an unnatural red tinge.
The rabbit looked at him with feigned curiosity.
The next second.
He gave a slight smirk: "We're having roasted rabbit tonight."
Rabbit: ? Human, are you being polite?
He Yan carried the rabbit by the scruff of its neck to the riverbank. Just as it was about to be slaughtered, He Yan suddenly let go and threw it away.
The rabbit rolled around on the ground a few times, staring at him with wide eyes.
He Yan stood motionless, the red from the corners of his eyes completely filling them, making them bloodshot and eerie. Black mist emanated from his forehead, flowing freely.
Large swaths of black mist quickly enveloped his entire body, causing him to tremble, his expression to become muddled, and he teetered on the brink of emotional collapse.
The sword in his hand hummed, and finally, it seemed to gain sentience, drawing its blade and anxiously circling around its master, as if trying to drive away the black mist.
Rabbit: ? Oh no, I've gone mad.
Seeing that the black mist was increasing and couldn't be driven away, the sword quickly darted to the rabbit's side and circled around it.
Rabbit: Your tonic gave me away!
It could only push the sword away with its rabbit hooves, then pounced on He Yan and jumped onto his shoulder.
Then it stretched out its rabbit paw and slapped him on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.
Facing He Yan's rabbit-faced expression on his deathbed: "?"
Xi Xingxue transformed into human form, hugged He Yan in her arms, and rushed to the cave.
It was inevitable that He Yan would request to be expelled from the sect, because in the original text, this also meant that he was about to embark on a path of revenge.
At this point, the countdown to the original owner's death had begun.
He couldn't stop it, but he wouldn't sit idly by either. He immediately left a phantom image in the sect and then chased after He Yan.
He Yan's cultivation level increased too much at once, his realm was unstable, and his inner demons were too strong. It was only a matter of time before he went into a qi deviation.
He Yan's favorability rating was only 69, so Xi Xingxue didn't dare to confidently show her true self and thus turned into a little rabbit.
He placed He Yan on the stone bed, pointed at his nose, and weakly cursed:
"When you lost your sword tassel, you were proud and arrogant; when you frantically searched for it, your life or death was uncertain."
"You're ruthless when you're eating roasted rabbit, but when you go mad, the rabbit will swat you away."
After finishing her not-so-rhyming rap, Xi Xingxue dutifully took care of He Yan. First, she gave him a calming pill, then helped him lie down, circulated her internal energy, and channeled spiritual energy to soothe the chaotic spiritual energy surging through his meridians and guide it to his dantian.
Xi Xingxue hadn't expected that the little nascent soul in He Yan's dantian would be so resistant to outsiders.
The instant his spiritual energy entered his dantian, a surge of golden spiritual power suddenly attacked, pushing his spiritual energy outward.
The two forces collided, and Xi Xingxue's spiritual energy vanished, while He Yan himself coughed up a mouthful of blood after being hit by the impact and suddenly opened his eyes.
Xi Xingxue looked over and met a pair of bloodshot but empty eyes.
...Now the demon was even more deeply entrenched.
Once the progress of going mad reaches 100%, one will no longer be able to regain rationality. He Yan's vacant eyes indicate that the progress bar has reached 90%.
He was almost completely consumed by evil.
Xi Xingxue panicked.
He wasn't omnipotent either; even after going through a thousand possible solutions in his mind, he still couldn't come up with a solution.
"What should we do, system?"
The system replied helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Your shop isn't unlocked, so you can't buy items."
Xi Xingxue: "...Can I unlock it ahead of time?"
System: "No, the first world is a hellish scenario, specifically designed to test you. You'll unlock more benefits later, such as only needing to maintain your character's non-OC state for one month starting in the next world."
Xi Xingxue: "Oh!"
Seeing its host wilting like a frostbitten eggplant, the system couldn't bear it and whispered...
"Host, your body possesses a top-grade ice spiritual root and a crystal-clear physique, which has purifying capabilities. If you cultivate with him, you might be able to prevent him from falling into demonic possession..."
Xi Xingxue was startled: "Huh?"
The system coughed lightly: "The situation is urgent, you should start right away, I'll hide myself now."
Xi Xingxue: "......"
The system had indeed blocked her, leaving Xi Xingxue staring blankly at He Yan.
He may be lustful, but there's a limit to mutual consent. He Yan is completely dazed right now; if he were to make a move now, he'd be utterly inhuman.
It's moral decay, the loss of humanity! Ahhh!
...Forget it, never mind. I'll abandon all personal integrity and enjoy this immoral life.
A golden needle pierced the peach blossom's stamen; she dared not utter a sound and frowned secretly.
