Chapter 45 I Am My Self
Chi Jin took out the needle tremblingly. He had never felt his fingers so stiff before.
The scrutiny behind him was so solid.
Ruan Wei pinched her fingers together and looked at him with concern, "What's wrong?"
Chi Jin tried to take a deep breath, "It's okay, please... Fellow Daoist Ruan, please move aside, you're blocking the candlelight."
He was about to explode.
Who would ask people how they are doing while using a fatal technique?
"Not bright enough?"
Ruan Wei glanced at him sideways, seemingly questioning, "I still don't know what kind of spiritual root Fellow Daoist Cang Ling has. If it's a fire spiritual root, how about striking a spiritual fire to make it brighter?"
Chi Jin had no expression on his face, but was obedient; he raised his hand and actually produced a spiritual fire.
The flames are a faint blue, which is quite novel.
The moment the spiritual fire sprang up, Ruan Wei smiled.
Chang Huaijin, who was secretly watching, was surprised, "Huh? Why is his fire blue?"
"Don't worry about it, that's their personality."
Xiao Xuantong covered Chang Huaijin's mouth. People in Tongzhou are very creative. A different color of fireworks is nothing.
Chi Jin: "..."
The spiritual fire of the fire spirit roots in Tongzhou is mostly warm colors such as orange, red, and yellow, while the demon fire on the other side is pitch black.
Chi Jin is not an orthodox spirit race, so naturally he cannot produce spiritual fire of normal color.
However, there are too few people in this world with bloodline like his. People who see him will only think that his skills are special, and naturally they will not know the difference.
The senior sister who made the request to light a fire seemed a little strange.
Chi Jin quietly looked at her expression, but suddenly met Ruan Wei's eyes, and he quickly looked away.
Ruan Wei felt more certain. She smiled and clapped her hands, "It's much brighter, and it makes your skin look even whiter."
How to clap with one hand?
Each of her palms landed on Chang Huaijin's shoulders, making a clapping sound. How could this not be considered applause?
After saying this, Ruan Wei smiled wryly.
Love to play, play more, and know how to play.
Anyone who is familiar with Ruan Wei will know that she is a little angry.
Chi Jin, who had her back to her, felt her ears turn red after hearing this.
Xiao Xuantong, "..."
Junior sister, you have to be so presumptuous when you speak... Ugh, is it so ambiguous?
…
There was sweat on Wu Yu's forehead lying on the bed, but his face was no longer as frightened as if he was in a nightmare.
After the acupuncture, Chi Jin was almost sweating profusely.
Nothing else.
It's just that Ruan Wei would ask some irrelevant questions from time to time, and Chi Jin had to concentrate on acupuncture while also paying attention to answering her questions.
Finally, Ruan Wei patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and her hand that was pinching the seal finally loosened.
She praised him, "It's good to be young. Your hands don't shake and your heart doesn't beat fast."
Sarcastic.
Chi Jin was sure that Ruan Wei was just being sarcastic to him.
But he couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine before, so why did Second Senior Sister suddenly become so sarcastic to him tonight?
Chi Jin frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Chang Huaijin could never understand the atmosphere. He asked, "Senior Sister, why do you say that if the heart doesn't beat, then it's dead?"
Ruan Wei chuckled and turned her head, interest gradually appearing on her delicate doll-like face.
Ruan Wei said, "Do you want to know?"
Chang Huaijin was about to nod.
Xiao Xuantong subconsciously grabbed the man's arm, "No, Third Junior Brother, tonight is suitable for sword practice, let's go out and discuss swordsmanship together!" He didn't care about Chang Huaijin's struggle, he picked him up and dragged him out the door.
Death energy, Ruan Wei definitely wanted Chang Huaijin to feel the death energy of a heart without a beating!
Ruan Wei glanced sideways and let Xiao Xuantong rescue Chang Huaijin.
She paused, stood up and wiped the sweat off Wu Yu who was lying on the bed.
Whenever facing Ruan Wei, Chi Jin would feel uncomfortable.
His second senior sister is so smart. Her words always come true and she can tell the truth from the false at a glance.
"Cang Ling?"
Ruan Wei called softly, and she tilted her head, "Are you from Cangshan?"
Chi Jin was still standing in front of the bed, hesitating. He and Ruan Wei were a little close for a moment. He pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, Cangshan."
"Is it beautiful there?"
Ruan Wei suddenly asked a strange question.
Chi Jin even took two seconds to react before she slowly spoke in a low voice, "It's beautiful. The mountains are covered with snow. In winter... it's very beautiful."
Mentioning Cangshan, Chi Jin couldn't help but recall his death in his previous life.
He was nailed to the bottom of Cangshan Valley by Fu Yi's sword. He didn't have much strength at that time, and sweet blood was gushing out of his mouth. He lay at the bottom of the valley, and his gradually dimming eyes were finally imprinted with only the crystal snowflakes falling all over the sky.
Chi Jin refused to accept the result. It wasn't that he couldn't beat the boy. It was just that that moment was what he had predicted thousands of times.
Then, the dark blue spiritual fire fell down like a broken butterfly.
The fire spirit root does not like snow.
Chi Jin naturally didn't like it either.
"I don't think it looks good," Ruan Wei stood on tiptoe and patted Chi Jin's head. There was a hint of understanding in her smile. "The snow on our Penglai Mountain is a thousand times, ten thousand times more beautiful than that on Cangshan Mountain!"
Chi Jin was in a trance for a moment. Ruan Wei at this moment seemed to be gradually overlapping with the face he had when he first met his second senior sister in his previous life.
Ruan Wei said, "Next year, I'll take you to see it."
After saying that, she pushed the dazed Chi Jin out of the door and asked a servant passing by to take him to the guest room to rest.
The two people in the yard were also scolded by Ruan Wei and went back to their room to rest.
-
Just one day later.
Ruan Wei had to remove her unilateral blocking of the system.
Ruan Wei called softly: "Help?"
The system responded immediately, its electronic voice filled with despair: [What are you doing?! You're going to be a pervert, aren't you? Go do it, and why are you asking me to do anything? I can't control you at all!]
“…”
After a while.
Ruan Wei estimated that the system should have calmed down, so she said, "I think I found my junior brother—"
【oh? 】
The system was indeed calm, but it was too calm: [Found it? That's good. You kill him, and then we'll both die together.]
There was a strong sense of self-destruction in its tone.
Ruan Wei laughed and said, "It's not that serious, please help me, are you going to collapse so quickly?"
The system was silent, then spoke: [I'm not broken, I'm serious. Ruan Wei, if you don't have a good image of truth, goodness, and beauty, the male protagonist won't be impressed by you.]
You know, the probability is fixed. The hero falling in love with you is a 100% rule. All we can do is save your fellow disciples while maintaining the general direction. Once the general direction is changed, everything and the origin will become a new branch line, and this will no longer be the original world of cultivation.
I can’t predict it for you.
In fact, the system did not want Ruan Wei to follow the plot of the original book completely, but Ruan Wei was too rebellious and never listened to it.
Ruan Wei was speechless for a long time.
A string in her mind suddenly snapped, "But I'm not really good or beautiful."
Ruan Wei's thoughts were clear. She organized her words, trying her best to make the system understand her thoughts:
"From the moment you pulled me here, it was impossible to follow the original world line from the very beginning. I know you want to follow the original time sequence for my own good, but it's impossible."
"Because," she said in a hoarse but firm voice, "I'm not the original Ruan Wei—I'm not, and can't be, the image of truth, goodness, and beauty you describe. I am my true self, so how can I be myself?"
According to the system, she was pulled from the three thousand worlds to save the world.
They are two independent individuals, souls from two different worlds.
The system was silent for a long time.
It suddenly: [No, you guys...]
I haven’t finished yet.
[Ziz—Ziz…La—]
A huge electrical sound suddenly surged in the sea of consciousness, and the system's voice was directly erased.
