Chapter 175 The Secret of the Moon Birthmark
Ye Li stared at the moon totem in disbelief. Wasn't this Li Yuehua's moon birthmark?
It was even because Su Ying'er imitated this birthmark that Qingyu Zhenren treated her differently.
Although Ye Li had a mark in the same location, it was not a birthmark, but a burn mark.
She had suspected that someone had deliberately covered it up, but she never thought about where the crescent-shaped birthmark came from.
Even more unexpectedly, after she formed a bond with Xie Sixing, the birthmark reappeared on her arm.
Is it a coincidence?
But the exact same location is too much to be explained by mere coincidence.
Or is there something in the unseen realm that is reincarnating?
Sometimes she saw herself, sometimes Li Yuehua, and finally, she stopped at the fairy island she had seen while she was unconscious.
She assumed she had entered some kind of illusion, but now, she suddenly felt uncertain again.
She slowly raised her head to look at Xie Sixing, "What is this totem?"
Xie Sixing's smile deepened. "These are traces of a contract."
"What contract?"
"It's a kind of contract where I can share a soul with you. You can communicate with me directly in your sea of consciousness. It's actually similar to using a soul-nurturing mirror, but you don't have to carry it around as much.
It didn't sound like anything special, but that wasn't what Ye Li wanted to ask.
What she wanted to know was why Li Yuehua also had this mark on her arm.
Now it's even on her body...
After a moment of silence, Ye Li hesitated before asking, "Before you were imprisoned in the Chaos Realm, were you on a celestial island?"
She stared at Xie Sixing, afraid of missing any clues.
Xie Sixing's eyes flickered slightly, but before Ye Li could catch it, a playful smile appeared in his dark eyes.
"Immortal Island? Daoist, have you forgotten? I am an evil spirit imprisoned in the Heavenly Gate Sect. How could I be on some immortal island?"
If it were before, this sentence alone would have been enough to convince Ye Li. But after all this, she felt that Xie Sixing was not the evil and crooked person she thought he was. Instead, he had an indescribable mystery about him.
Perhaps there's another reason why he's imprisoned in this chaotic realm?
"you……"
Before Ye Li could ask any more questions, Xie Sixing pointed outside and said, "Daoist, you've been asleep for three days. Have the people outside already collected your body?"
Oh, right!
She almost forgot.
She came out, but Jiang Li was dead!
Three days have passed; she needs to hurry back!
-
Sure enough, when Ye Li returned to the outer gate, a group of people had already gathered around Jiang Li's bedside.
"Junior Sister Jiang Li is actually so young..."
"Waaah, let Junior Sister Jiang Li rest in peace as soon as possible."
Sangsang cried like a red radish beside her, sobbing, "Xiaoli, go in peace, I will take care of your family for you."
Even Elder Song, who was usually as stoic as steel, had tears in his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Everyone was deeply immersed in the atmosphere of grief and couldn't pull themselves out, one by one stepping forward to mourn.
That emotional farewell gave Ye Li the illusion that it would be impolite for her to come back to life.
Seeing that they were about to carry her away, she could no longer pretend to be dead.
So, the moment "Jiang Li" was lifted up, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Um... actually, I'm not dead yet."
They stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The next second, screams erupted.
"ah!!"
"A ghost?!"
"..."
After a chaotic and disorderly process, Ye Li managed to smooth things over, saying that she had simply suffered a cultivation mishap and had already recovered.
Fortunately, these outer disciples were relatively simple-minded. They simply thought that her top-grade water spiritual root was unusual, and no one suspected anything. They just told her to rest well and then went to cultivate.
Elder Song had other matters to attend to in the outer sect, so he instructed Sangsang to take care of Ye Li before leaving in a hurry.
"Xiao Li, it's so good that you're alive! We all thought you were dead. It really scared me to death."
Seeing that Sangsang's eyes were swollen like a toad's from crying, Ye Li's eyes softened. "It's alright now."
Sangsang wiped away her tears and said angrily, "What's hateful is that those scoundrels from the Lotus Sect not only didn't help, but also took advantage of our misfortune."
Upon hearing the words "Lotus Sect," Ye Li had a bad feeling. "What did you say? Taking advantage of our misfortune?"
According to Sangsang, she hadn't shown up for the past three days. At first, they thought she was tired and needed to rest after returning from the Golden Sands Fantasy Realm.
When Elder Song came to the door today, he was shocked to find that Ye Li had no life force at all.
Just then, Elder Ge, who was skilled in medicine, brought Nie Hongye down the mountain and went to the Lotus Gate to ask Wen Yao to come and "treat" her.
Needless to say, she's completely lost her mind; even a miracle couldn't cure her.
This matter was thus reported back to the Lotus Sect.
As soon as Wen Yao left, Mo Hannian took advantage of Qingyu Zhenren's order to bring the pheasant spirit beast back to the Lotus Sect.
At this point, Sangsang gritted her teeth in anger, "These personal disciples! They usually look down on everyone, how could they do such petty things!"
Qingyu Zhenren's orders?
Ye Li frowned. "When did this happen?"
Sangsang thought for a moment, "It seems like less than half an hour."

Lotus Gate
"Ying'er, everything is ready. You can form a bond with your spirit beast now."
Mo Hannian looked at Su Ying'er beside him.
After her wedding, she styled her hair into a bun, but wore a plain dress.
In addition, Lu Ziting forbade her from eating meat and made her kneel in front of Ye Li's memorial tablet every day, which made her even thinner and weaker than usual.
Upon hearing that she could form a bond, she was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward. But then, as if remembering something, she stopped and looked at Mo Hannian with a worried expression.
“Brother, you brought the spirit beast back under the guise of Master’s name. If Master finds out, he will definitely blame you.”
She choked up and said, "My master has already expelled me from the sect. If I do something wrong again, I'm afraid my master won't even let me stay in the Heavenly Gate Sect."
Mo Hannian didn't take it to heart. "Don't be afraid. If Master finds out, just say that I forced you."
Su Ying'er raised her pale face and shook her head in panic, "No, no, Ying'er can't say that. Even if Ying'er dies, she can't implicate her brother. Brother, just let me be a cripple and fend for myself."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Mo Hannian stopped Su Ying'er, who was about to leave, and said, "My master's punishment is nothing more than physical pain. If you hadn't gone to Moon White Lake to find the antidote for me, I would have been dead long ago. You risked your life for me, and I can't just stand by and watch your spirit beast be stolen."
A hint of guilt flashed in Su Ying'er's eyes, but when she spoke, she put on a sincere expression, "Those things are nothing. Ying'er has always regarded you as her own brother. Ying'er is willing to do anything for you."
Mo Hannian's expression softened, and he patted her head. "So let's not say so much. Forming the bond is the most important thing."
The talismans and incense were ready, and Mo Hannian had set up the barrier, waiting only for Su Ying'er to cast the binding spell.
Su Ying'er walked towards the pheasant spirit beast, whose eyes were closed, clearly still asleep.
She was puzzled. "Brother, did you drug this spirit beast? Why is it still sleeping?"
Mo Hannian shook his head, "No, it wasn't awake when I saw it."
That's even stranger. I gave it a sleeping pill in the Golden Sands Illusion Realm Phoenix Mirror to prevent it from waking up and causing trouble, but it's been so many days since we came back, why hasn't it woken up yet?
It's good that it's asleep, otherwise, if the spirit beast is unwilling, she and Mo Hannian might not be able to control it.
However, Su Ying'er was unaware that this pheasant was no longer the original spirit beast, but rather something that Feng Jingxuan had specially prepared for Ye Li.
Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, she brought him back.
