Chapter 77: From tonight on, you can practice.
“Whoa—”
We have arrived at the Mu Mansion.
Mu Xingchen yawned, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Mu Qinxin looked at Mu Xingchen's back, her eyes becoming more and more gloomy.
Mu Xingchen walked back to her small, run-down courtyard and stopped in the center. She looked at the candlelight burning in the house, and the smile in her eyes completely faded.
After a long silence, the door inside the house opened with a creak.
Li Jing stood in the candlelight in the room. He smiled at Mu Xingchen and said, "Why don't you come in?"
Mu Xingchen's eyes gradually turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Jing... I have been granted marriage again..."
Li Jing sighed helplessly: "Come here."
Mu Xingchen immediately ran over, hugged his thin waist and sniffed.
Li Jing touched her hair and said secretly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Mu Xingchen nodded. She sniffed pitifully, then raised her head and said, "But Brother Jing, I probably can't cancel this marriage. This is the third time."
Li Jing chuckled softly, "It doesn't matter. The prince won't live long anyway, but my Xingchen can live a very long time."
Mu Xingchen's eyes were red again, and she cried, "I won't live long either. I definitely won't live as long as Brother Jing."
Li Jing raised his hand and gently rubbed her eyelashes.
"Don't cry!" He said in a low voice, pretending to be a little fierce.
Mu Xingchen stopped crying immediately. She hugged him tightly and sobbed silently in his arms.
Li Jing's heart melted instantly. How could she be so well-behaved?
He looked down at her, his voice extremely hoarse: "Starting tonight, you can practice."
Mu Xingchen's pupils suddenly widened. She raised her head and asked in disbelief, "What does this mean?"
Li Jing didn't answer, but just looked at her with a heavy gaze, with a trace of unbreakable love in his eyes.
Suddenly, he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her fiercely.
Mu Xingchen's pupils widened again.
The breath in her mouth was completely robbed, and the intense heat made her unable to resist and wanted to retreat, but Li Jing pinched her neck tightly and did not allow her to retreat even a little.
Mu Xingchen was completely suffocated by his lips and tongue. If he hadn't held her with his other hand, she would have slipped to the ground.
After a long time, he finally let her go.
The moment he let go of her, Mu Xingchen covered her chest and breathed in the air between heaven and earth.
Heavy breathing echoed around.
Mu Xingchen frowned and looked at him. Besides lust, there was also a hint of indelible coldness in his eyes.
His eyes looked like he wanted to eat her alive.
"Brother Jing..." Mu Xingchen took a step forward and said timidly.
Li Jing took a step forward and got close to her perfectly.
His voice was hoarse, and he lowered his head to look into her eyes and said solemnly: "From now on, I want you to be able to protect yourself."
Mu Xingchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart gradually became a little flustered.
"I... no need, I don't care..."
Before she could finish, Li Jing picked her up and walked into the house.
The moment the door closed, a transparent barrier rose outside.
Inside the room, two hot bodies pressed together, surrounded by dark purple light.
The evil spirit filled the room.
And Mu Xingchen was blindfolded at this moment, just like the first time.
Her heartbeat was soaring at this moment, the room was full of demonic energy, and huge spiritual power surrounded her.
"Brother Jing." She pulled his arm and said tremblingly, "I don't need to practice, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Jing blocked her lips tightly.
He moved slowly, and every time he moved, a trace of demonic power filled Mu Xingchen's body.
Mu Xingchen closed his eyes, clenched his palms, and drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The Gu spirit in her body was now fighting against the demonic force...
After a while, Li Jing stopped.
His face was a little pale at the moment, and his white hair became a little dull.
"Xingchen." He called her hoarsely, then slowly removed the cloth from her eyes.
At this moment, the purple spirits around have disappeared one by one.
He gently wiped the sweat off her face and said in a very hoarse voice, "From now on, you can practice."
Mu Xingchen's pupils widened and he clenched his fists.
She trembled a little and said, "What is it?"
"Demon spirit." He put his forehead against hers and said gently, "It's my demon spirit."
Mu Xingchen's heartbeat completely stopped. After a few seconds, she said in shock: "What did you say? Demon spirit? Li Jing! How could you! Are you crazy???"
Li Jing smiled, he took her hand and interlocked their fingers, then held her tightly in his arms.
"I'm afraid that when I'm not around, you'll be in danger and unable to protect yourself." He said in her ear.
Mu Xingchen's throat choked, and some bloodshot eyes appeared.
She was stunned and said, "But the demon spirit... it's... it's too inappropriate."
She had heard from Xiao Qi that ten thousand years ago, demon spirits would sacrifice themselves to their loved ones, a promise of a lifetime together. However, if their loved ones betrayed them, the demons would not have a good death either.
"It's okay, it's half." Li Jing turned his head to look at her, he stroked her eyebrows, "I gave you half of the demon spirit, just so that you can practice."
Mu Xingchen looked into Li Jing's eyes and asked seriously, "Can the demon spirit be extracted?"
Li Jing was stunned, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Mu Xingchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"But." Li Jing's eyes darkened. He rubbed her chin and said hoarsely, "If the demon spirit is extracted, all your previous cultivation will be invalidated, and... the process is equivalent to replacing all the meridians in your body."
Mu Xingchen frowned: "Is that so..."
He didn't say it explicitly, but the pain of meridian replacement is not something that ordinary people can endure.
Mu Xingchen smiled. She looked into Li Jing's eyes and said seriously, "Brother Jing, if you don't want to give it to me in the future, just take it back. I won't resist."
Li Jing's eyelashes trembled and she denied it: "There is no such possibility."
The smile on Mu Xingchen's lips became even more intense. She felt that this day would come soon.
He helped her remove the Gu spirit, so she wouldn't covet his demon spirit. If they were to face each other again in the future...
Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened.
He absolutely shouldn't have let her waver when she was about to betray him.
Mu Xingchen touched his eyebrows and rubbed him in his arms greedily.
"You are so nice, Brother Jing."
The two embraced each other all night.
The next day, when Mu Xingchen woke up, Li Jing had already left.
She got up silently, her face expressionless.
Today was the day she had to settle the mission, and Xiao Qi was still sleeping with his spiritual power exhausted.
She raised her hand and looked at the Gu Spirit on her wrist. The faint black line on it had disappeared completely.
"Ding!" She clicked the bracelet and disappeared into the room.
On the wishing tower, Mu Xingchen sat expressionlessly, her body lazily lying on the backrest, with a gloomy look under her eyes.
The masked man in black asked in a deep voice, "Does the Tower Master have any information about the Crown Prince's identity?"
Mu Xingchen didn't answer.
The man in black frowned and asked again, "Tower Master, do you have any news about the identity of the Crown Prince?"
Mu Xingchen was silent for a while, rubbing his fingertips and said, "Prince, he is from the Yuegan tribe."
The black-clothed man's pupils suddenly widened. He suddenly grabbed the hilt of the sword at his side and said with murderous intent: "I knew he was not the original prince, but he is actually from the Yuegan tribe!" He immediately said anxiously: "Thank you, Tower Master, for telling me!" After that, he wanted to leave in a hurry.
"Heh." Mu Xingchen sneered, "Where are you going?"
The tower door closed instantly, and the inside became pitch black.
The man in black gasped, "I'm sorry, Tower Master, I'm anxious. Can I come back and..."
"No!" Mu Xingchen interrupted him. She lazily lay on the chair and gently closed her eyes. She didn't even move a finger when a scream rang out from below.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…”
After a while, a faint golden cloud emerged from above the man's head, then slowly flew into the sky and hung with several other clouds.
Mu Xingchen opened her eyes and raised her hand gently. She saw a golden light from the clouds shooting into the bracelet on her wrist, and the bracelet glowed with jade light again.
Xiao Qi was shocked: "Oh my god! How did you cure the poison??? I just slept for one night???"
Mu Xingchen looked at the man who walked out calmly below and said in a deep voice: "Li Jing gave me half of the demon spirit."
"Oh my god!!!" Xiao Qi was shocked. "Demon spirit!!! Demon spirit!!! Demon spirit!!!" She said it three times in shock.
Mu Xingchen closed his eyes irritably, "Xiao Qi, don't be so shocked. He said it can be pulled out anyway."
Xiao Qi took a deep breath and said, "Half of the demon spirit can be extracted, but if you don't want it to, then forcibly extracting it will make it useless, and he won't be able to use it in the future."
Mu Xingchen's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"
Xiao Qi explained: "Because the demon spirit he gave you will recognize you as its master once it enters your body. If you don't agree, it will lose this half of its demon spirit forever. If the demon destroys half of its demon spirit..."
"What will happen?" Mu Xingchen frowned.
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "My lifelong cultivation may end here."
Mu Xingchen held his forehead speechlessly. His entire life's cultivation had come to a halt here...
Given his current status and what he plans to do in the future, if his cultivation stops here, he will not only die, but also die a very miserable death.
Mu Xingchen rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes, saying in annoyance, "He really believes in me."
Xiao Qi hesitated and said, "Why not just let it go? With this half demon spirit, your cultivation will be even better than before. Now that the poison has been removed, you don't have to worry about anything."
Mu Xingchen rubbed his solar plexus again: "Let's talk about it later."
