The city was full of lights. The two held hands and returned to Hehuan Palace. When they reached the long corridor, Xie Changji raised his hand and said gently, "Give me the medicine."
Hua Xiangwan listened to his words, looked at his calm and composed appearance, and held the porcelain vase in her hand for a long time without moving.
Xie Changji's eyes fell on the porcelain vase in her hand. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to reach out his hand. The moment he held the porcelain vase, Hua Xiangwan's movements tensed up. Xie Changji raised his eyes to look at her: "Wanwan?"
"You," Hua Xiangwan said in a hoarse voice. She looked at the person in front of her. She knew it was impossible, but she still spoke, "In the future, you must remember me."
Xie Changji stared at her quietly, his eyes calm and gentle. After a moment, he said softly, "I'll remember it."
After hearing this, Hua Xiangwan slowly let go.
Xie Changji took the porcelain bottle from her hand and heard her whisper, "I will tell Kunxuzi when the wedding date is confirmed. Time is running out for you and me. When you have mastered the last sword," she looked up at him, "come find me again."
"I'll ask my uncle to arrange it."
Xie Changji looked calm and said, "I will talk to him tonight and settle everything. You don't have to worry."
Hua Xiangwan nodded.
The two were silent for a while, then he reached out and held the person in his arms.
His sleeves covered half of her body, shielding her from the wind and rain. His shoulders and arms were much stronger than when he was young. His seemingly thin body, when they pressed against each other, could clearly feel the solid strength like an ancient tree on a mountain.
"Wanwan," he said softly, "I will be back."
Hua Xiangwan didn't say a word. She was stunned as he held her in his arms. For the first time in her life, she felt the feeling of being protected and walking with someone through thick and thin.
The two of them cuddled together for a while before Xie Changji reminded her, "I'm going to look for my uncle."
Hua Xiangwan responded, and Xie Changji raised his hand to cover her eyes, saying gently: "Don't open your eyes, open your eyes, I'm afraid I will turn around."
"good."
Hua Xiangwan did not close her eyes as promised. She felt the person next to her slowly let go of her, turned around and walked away.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and saw that the corridor was empty.
She looked in the direction where Xie Changji left, staring blankly for a while. After a long time, she finally calmed down, turned around and walked into the house.
She pushed the door open and entered the room, which was dark. She intuitively felt that there was someone there, but before she could move, someone suddenly grabbed her neck and slammed her against the wooden door!
Hua Xiangwan made a move and cast a magic seal almost at the same time, but the opponent was faster. He grabbed his wrist and smashed it against the door, then rushed over.
His face had a sinister look in the night, completely different from Xie Changji's usual indifferent expression.
"Going to look for Xie Changji?"
He spoke with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Hua Xiangwan was panting and unable to speak. The Jade Blood God tilted his head and said, "Three thousand eternal lanterns were set off. This must be his doing, right? The three days are up. Don't you want the last chance I'm giving you?"
"Demon Lord," Hua Xiangwan clasped her hands around his fingers, trying to buy herself a moment to breathe. She stared at him, but didn't attack immediately. She only said, "I'm saying goodbye to him."
Hearing this, the Jade Blood God paused, his fingers loosened a little, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Farewell?"
"I promise you," Hua Xiangwan said quickly, "I will cooperate with you, you give me the ghost spirit, we will get married, and as long as my senior brothers and sisters are resurrected, I will help you destroy the world."
The Jade Blood God didn't say anything. He just looked at Hua Xiangwan as if examining her.
Hua Xiangwan laughed: "The Demon Lord doesn't believe me?"
"You were willing to take down the Jade Sea Pearl for him, so are you willing to say goodbye to him now?"
The Jade Blood God curled up the corners of his mouth, totally unconvinced.
Hua Xiangwan stared at the other party: "Doesn't the Demon Lord know this in his heart? Love is important, but can it compare to responsibility and debt?"
After hearing what the Jade Blood God said, he slowly loosened his fingers, as if he finally believed her.
As soon as he let go of her hand, Hua Xiangwan immediately fell to the ground, gasping for breath. The Demon Lord lowered his eyes to look at her, his face returning to his usual gentleness: "I know that you are a responsible person and will not let down those who were killed by you and Xie Changji. Then I will go with you to find your master tomorrow and discuss the wedding date with her."
"Then... I wonder what identity the Demon Lord intends to use to ask my master for marriage?"
This made the Jade Blood God think for a moment. He half-knelt down and stared at Hua Xiangwan: "What identity do you want me to be?"
"It depends on the Demon Lord."
"After all, I have been killed by you. It is still too shocking for me to come back to life." The Jade Blood God laughed, "Shen Yichen, right?"
As he spoke, his tone became a little colder: "After all, he has been thinking about this for his entire life, hasn't he?"
Hua Xiangwan didn't look at him. She lowered her eyes and secretly clenched her fists: "Okay."
While the Jade Blood God and Hua Xiangwan were discussing their marriage, Xie Changji came to Kunxuzi's room with medicine.
Kunxuzi was discussing with Su Luoming about building a transmission channel when he suddenly heard Xie Changji's voice coming from outside the door: "Uncle Master."
Kunxuzi's hand trembled, and then he reacted. After cutting off the connection with Su Luoming, he hurriedly stood up and opened the door, saying in surprise: "Eternal Silence?"
As he spoke, he looked him up and down, and after confirming that it was Xie Changji, he asked, "How...how did you get out of the underground palace?"
"The evil spirit in my body has been temporarily eliminated. I came here to say goodbye to my uncle."
Hearing this, Kunxuzi was unable to react for a moment. After a moment, he woke up and hurriedly said, "You come in first."
He welcomed Xie Changji into the house, raised his hand to set up a barrier, and looking at Xie Changji's calm expression, he didn't know where to start.
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did Young Master Hua let you out?"
"yes."
"You...you want to go back to the realm of life and death?" Thinking of the decision Hua Xiangwan had made before, Kunxuzi asked nervously.
Hua Xiangwan couldn't possibly tell the truth to Xie Changji. Even if she did, given Xie Changji's temper, he wouldn't leave quietly.
He didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying something he shouldn't, so he just kept asking questions.
Xie Changji knew what he was worried about, so he took the lead in explaining: "Wanwan told me that the Demon Lord resurrected and promised to give her the other half of the ghost spirit. She planned to use the ghost spirit to revive her senior brothers and sisters, but after releasing the ghost spirit, she couldn't control it. She could only hope for the last sword of the sword of the heart, so she found a medicine for me. After taking it, I can forget her, so I can comprehend the last sword."
After hearing this reason, Kunxuzi was speechless for a moment.
This is true, but it is also false.
She wanted to obtain the ghost spirit and revive her senior brothers and sisters, but she did not put her hope on Xie Changji, but on the poison in her body.
But Kunxuzi couldn't say more. He turned his head and whispered, "So what are your plans? Go back to the realm of life and death?"
"No," Xie Changji shook his head, "I want to go and seek enlightenment."
This made Kunxuzi stunned. Xie Changji raised his eyes and said calmly: "I can't cultivate the Sword of Honesty. The sword obtained with the help of medicine is not the strongest sword after all. The Sword of Affection also has a last sword. I want to cultivate my own way."
"But if it weren't for the Sword of the Heart, then we wouldn't be able to seal the evil spirit..."
"There is nothing in the world that cannot be killed," Xie Changji said calmly, "If I can't seal it, I will kill it."
"Then..." Kunxuzi thought for a moment, "Where do you plan to go to attain enlightenment?"
Xie Changji fell silent. He turned his head and looked out the window, his expression somewhat bewildered: "The human world."
"I have experienced love, hatred, jealousy, resentment, hurt, and pain... but in the end, this is only given to me by one person every night. I have stayed in the realm of life and death for too long." Xie Changji turned his head and looked at Kunxuzi. "I traveled through the world when I was young, but I didn't understand it at that time. Now, I want to see it again."
Kunxuzi said nothing, as if hesitating. Xie Changji thought for a moment and lowered his eyes: "To experience the good and evil in the world, there are good and evil, but to always be willing to keep good is the true good. Being ignorant of the world, under the admonitions of the precepts, even if you die for the people of the world, it is only for the heart of a child, and you will not regret it until you die nine times."
"I understand what you mean," Kunxuzi said with a worried look on his face, "but you have a special physique, and now the Sword of Inquiry cannot protect you..."
"And Wanwan."
Xie Changji reminded Kunxuzi, who was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Changji and said calmly: "The Sword of Honesty cannot protect me, but I know Wanwan loves me, just like a sword protecting me, and the evil spirits cannot get close to me."
Kunxuzi didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and nodded, "You know yourself best. Since you have made your decision, I can't stop you. So what do you want to do by coming to me?"
"I won't take the medicine," Xie Changji said, placing the porcelain bottle on the table, and said calmly, "But I want her to be at ease. I will leave tonight. Tomorrow, please tell her that the medicine has taken effect and I have forgotten about it. You can arrange for me to return to the realm of life and death so that she can rest assured."
Hearing this, Kunxuzi hesitated, put away the porcelain bottle, and whispered, "Anything else?"
"Wanwan has a lot on her mind, so she won't tell me everything. If anything happens to her, I hope you can notify me in time."
"I understand."
Kunxuzi replied with a guilty conscience: "So are you planning to leave now?"
"There's one more thing to do before you go."
Xie Changji stood up calmly, and turned to look at Kunxuzi: "I want to borrow a magic weapon from my uncle."
"What?"
"It is said that my uncle has three clone talismans given by his ancestor. Changji wants to ask his uncle for one of them."
"Oh," Kunxuzi nodded, quite generously. He took out the clone talisman and handed it to Xie Changji. "This talisman can give you a clone that can last for half an hour. Its spiritual power is no less than that of the original body. What do you want to do with it?"
"It's a private matter."
Xie Changji did not speak directly, but put away the clone talisman and bowed to Kunxuzi: "Uncle Master, Changji will take his leave first."
Having said that, Xie Changji walked out.
Kunxuzi was in the house. After pausing for a while, he held the porcelain bottle in his hand, thought for a moment, sighed, and put the porcelain bottle into his Qiankun bag.
He needs to think carefully about how to tell this lie.
******
Not long after Xie Changji left, the Green Blood God also left Hua Xiangwan's room. He looked quite happy, walking on the corridor, constantly turning the paper fan in his hand.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the corner of the wall.
Suddenly a figure appeared in the corner, wearing white clothes and a jade crown, holding a long sword.
The two had exactly the same face, but completely different temperaments.
The Jade Blood God looked at the other party for a long time, then he showed a surprised expression: "Xie Changji?"
"Shen Yichen."
The young man walked out from the darkness. Under the moonlight, he looked cold and his body was as white as snow. The Jade Blood God looked at him, thought for a moment, and showed some worry on his face: "I heard from Wanwan that you were possessed by a demon. Are you okay?"
Xie Changji didn't say anything, and the Jade Blood God laughed: "Oh, Wanwan and I have set a wedding date, have you heard about it?"
"Are you happy with this face?"
Xie Changji spoke, and Jade Blood God Lord seemed to not understand what he said: "What did Xie Dao Lord say?"
"Knowing that she liked me, she didn't hesitate to change into my appearance to please her before she died," Xie Changji said indifferently. The expression on the face of the Jade Blood God gradually turned cold. Xie Changji said indifferently, "Now that you are going to get married, don't you even have the dignity to protect your own face?"
After hearing this, Jade Blood God Lord slowed down and chuckled, "Are you here to call me to task?"
"No," Xie Changji raised his eyes and looked at him, "I'm here to get my things back."
The moment the voice fell, Xie Changji swung out his long sword, and ice and snow came down like a blanket covering the sky and the earth. The two territories quickly connected together, the surrounding sky and earth changed color, and the ice field and the sea connected.
Ice and snow turned into swords, the sea waves surged, and the Jade Blood God walked on the waves, flipping his hands and casting magic seals around himself, preventing Xie Changji from taking even a single step forward.
Each of Xie Changji's swords drew upon the power to split the heavens and the seas, colliding with the waves of the Jade Blood God, creating a deafening roar.
The power of the Jade Blood God seemed to be endless. Xie Changji lowered his eyes and saw the faint red land beneath the blue sea.
It is a different world.
The source of his power is not the Dingli Sea, but an alien world.
Noticing that Xie Changji noticed this, the Jade Blood God's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand, and a huge magic circle suddenly expanded towards Xie Changji. The light frightened people and made them retreat quickly. Then the sea water from the magic circle turned into sharp blades and rushed towards Xie Changji.
Xie Changji swung the long sword in his hand to blast open the magic circle, and the whole person disappeared in an instant. The face of the Blue Blood God changed slightly. He realized something, stepped back suddenly, raised his hand and struck backwards, and saw the tip of Xie Changji's sword was already there!
A chill could be faintly seen from the sword. The Jade Blood God used attack as defense and struck Xie Changji in the heart with one palm. Xie Changji did not retreat at all. At the moment when the Jade Blood God's seal struck his heart, the tip of the sword swept across his face.
Frost immediately spread across the face of the Jade Blood God. His entire face was frozen by the extremely cold temperature and began to rot a little.
The Jade Blood God stared at the young man in front of him who was pierced by the seal and sneered: "To destroy this face, you don't even want your life?"
Xie Changji looked at his face with a calm expression, and said lightly: "Okay."
After saying this, he turned into a talisman and instantly burned in the air.
The Jade Blood God was stunned for a moment, then his consciousness became wide open and he began to search in all directions.
At this moment, Xie Changji had already changed into the blue Taoist robe he wore in his youth, holding a long sword and wearing a martial arts hat, and was gazing towards the direction of Hehuan Palace in the night rain thousands of miles away.
Can't kill.
He confirmed the result, turned around calmly, suppressed all his skills, followed the crowd, and slowly walked away.
The Jade Blood God searched around with his spiritual consciousness but couldn't find anyone. After a long time, he finally withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
The frostbite on his face continued to spread. The moment he regained consciousness, he felt pain immediately. He came to his senses, stumbled back to the room, and looked up at the mirror.
The face of the man in the mirror was covered with frost. He wiped off the ice and snow fiercely, revealing a face cut by a sword. He raised his hand and used magic to stop the spread of the frost wound and sealed all the sword intent in that sword mark.
But no matter how hard he tried, the sword mark of Xie Changji's sword intent always remained. Frost wounds could be erased, but the sword mark remained on his face, making his originally flawless face look a little sinister.
He stared at the mirror intently, knowing that this was Xie Changji's warning and reminder.
He didn't even deserve to have a face she liked.
What if I don’t use this face?
The Blood-Drencher calmed down. He calmly raised his hand and pulled out a dagger from the side. He then slowly slid down along the sword mark left by Xie Changji.
His spiritual power covered Xie Changji's sword intent, and the originally scabbed sword marks were torn open again, and blood flowed from his face. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
He is not Shen Yichen, so why does he need her favor?
The night passed in chaos, and the next day, Hua Xiangwan was waiting in the courtyard early.
The Jade Blood God agreed to go with her to find Bai Zhuyue to discuss the wedding date, so she waited for him.
Not long after, she heard the servant behind her calling out, "Mr. Shen."
Hua Xiangwan heard the voice, turned around, and was stunned.
The young man in front of him was wearing a jade-colored robe and a black mask with a gold lotus painting on his face. He had a gentle temperament and soft eyes. He was bathed in the morning light, as if he had merged into one with the morning light.
Hua Xiangwan stared blankly at the person in front of her who looked almost identical to the one in her memory, until the other person raised his eyes with a smile in his eyes: "Young Master?"
After hearing what the other party said, Hua Xiangwan came back to her senses. The person in front of her could not be Shen Yichen, no matter how similar he was.
She forced herself to look away and said respectfully, "Demon..."
"What did you call me?"
When the Jade Blood God interrupted her, Hua Xiangwan knew that he was reminding her of the identity she had decided last night, and she said calmly, "Yi Chen."
The Jade Blood God walked to her side and naturally raised his hand to hold her. Hua Xiangwan subconsciously dodged. The Jade Blood God paused and turned to look at her, as if he was the real Shen Yichen. He asked her with some confusion: "Why, hasn't it always been like this two hundred years ago?"
She was brought up by Shen Yichen, who served her in every way, including bathing and changing clothes. She was already used to his intimacy.
Hua Xiangwan looked away and said, "At that time, Yi Chen had not yet differentiated between men and women, and I had not thought about the distinction between men and women. Now that you and I are getting married, there should be some differences."
"Have you and Xie Changji observed the rules between men and women?"
The Jade Blood God said with sarcasm. Hua Xiangwan looked up at him and said, "Before Xie Changji and I got married for the first time, he told me that we shouldn't meet before the wedding because it was unlucky."
The Jade Blood God paused for a moment, then turned pale and said, "Let's go."
The two walked one in front and one behind. Hua Xiangwan followed the Jade Blood God and whispered, "You said before that you had met my father."
"Not only have I seen him, I've also fought him," the Jade Blood God said in a light tone, "He is a hero, but he committed too many evils and died too young."
"What evil has he done?"
Hua Xiangwan spoke in a low voice. The Jade Blood God chuckled, "Your father loved war. Now that the monks in the Western Territory are living such a stable life, your father should have made a contribution. He drove the mermaids to the deep sea of Dingli Sea and forced the monsters to stay in the desolate land outside the Western Territory. Isn't it all your father's credit? Fortunately, everyone's life was not easy, and he was seriously injured because of his heavy sins, so he died earlier."
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
Hua Xiangwan calmly analyzed his words. The Jade Blood God sneered: "Is he worthy of having a grudge against me?"
"and you……"
"It's just that the world is ugly, and his ugliness is particularly obvious."
As they talked, the two of them went to Bai Zhuyue's study. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Kunxuzi and Humian coming out. Kunxuzi was stunned when he saw the two of them. Hua Xiangwan felt a little nervous and was about to say something when he saw Bixue Shenjun bow respectfully and said gently, "Hello, Elder Kun, Senior Sister Humian."
Both of them knew each other's identity, and they couldn't help but feel uneasy, but since the Jade Blood God wanted to act, everyone followed him and said hurriedly, "Mr. Shen."
"Ah Wan," the Jade Blood God turned to look at Hua Xiangwan, and seeing that she seemed to have something to ask, he smiled and said, "I'll go in first?"
"Oh, okay."
Hua Xiangwan nodded, and the Green Blood God turned around and walked into the study first.
After he left, Hua Xiangwan looked at Kunxuzi and Humian.
Hua Xiangwan didn't dare to ask more questions, but she was still worried. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Last night, Chang Ji..."
"He left first."
Kunxuzi knew what Hua Xiangwan wanted to ask, so he followed Xie Changji's instructions and replied, "I took the medicine."
Hua Xiangwan nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then how much does he...remember?"
Kunxuzi was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Hua Xiangwan meant. Didn't he forget what he ate? How much could he remember?
But he didn't dare to say more, and only answered: "I don't remember anything."
Hua Xiangwan was stunned, and Kunxuzi comforted her: "He assured you, just focus on your work and don't worry about him."
"What..." Hua Xiangwan said in a slightly cold tone, "You don't remember anything?"
Kunxuzi looked at Hua Xiangwan's expression and hesitated, "What do you want him to remember?"
After hearing what Kunxuzi said, Hua Xiangwan suddenly came to her senses. She had forgotten everything, which was within her expectations.
Lovesickness is a medicine that, the deeper your love, the more you forget.
But it still feels a bit uncomfortable when you hear it suddenly.
Fortunately, she had already prepared herself and quickly calmed down. She shook her head and said, "There's nothing I hope to remember. It's fine now. Did he go back to the realm of life and death?"
"Um."
Kunxuzi nodded timidly.
Hua Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, turned her head and glanced at the room. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Elder Kun, Senior Sister Hu Mian, come with me."
As she spoke, she led the two men away. Kunxuzi saw her expression and knew that she had something to tell him. He raised his hand to set up a barrier and said, "Go ahead."
When Hua Xiangwan saw the barrier set up, she raised her hand and took out the Jade Sea Pearl from her spirit bag. She then set up another barrier in front of the two of them, isolating the entire Jade Sea Pearl from the outside world.
Looking at what she did, Hu Mian was a little confused: "Ah Wan, what are you doing?"
Hua Xiangwan did not say anything. After confirming that the Jade Sea Pearl was isolated from the surroundings, she raised her hand and handed the Jade Sea Pearl to Kun Xuzi: "Elder Kun, you are knowledgeable. Take a look at this pearl. Is there anything unusual?"
Kunxuzi didn't say anything. He stared at the Bihaizhu, thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Humian's left eye.
After looking around for a few times, Hu Mian felt frightened by his gaze and could not help but ask cautiously, "Elder Kun?"
"Young Master," Kunxuzi thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Why do you ask this?"
"I have a suspicion and want to confirm it."
Hua Xiangwan stared at Kunxuzi, who immediately understood what Hua Xiangwan wanted to ask. He thought for a moment, then turned to Hu Mian and said, "Friend Hu, if you have something to do, why don't you go and do it first?"
"I……"
Hu Mian was about to say that she was fine, but she immediately realized that Kunxuzi wanted to get rid of her, so she changed her tone and just said, "I'm leaving first."
Having said that, Hu Mian waved his hand, turned around and left.
After Hu Mian walked out of the barrier, Hua Xiangwan looked at Kun Xuzi calmly, waiting for his answer. Kun Xuzi watched Hu Mian leave, and only sighed when she walked away.
"If I am not mistaken, the left eye of Mr. Fox was transformed from a soul of love."
"yes."
Hua Xiangwan admitted it frankly. Kunxuzi looked at the bead and said, "And this bead seems to contain the soul of a person?"
"nice."
"But these are three souls and seven spirits."
Kunxuzi told her, Hua Xiangwan looked at Kunxuzi quietly and asked, "Are you sure?"
"It is indeed three souls and seven spirits," Kunxuzi lowered his eyes and raised his hand to hold the Jade Sea Pearl, "but these three souls and seven spirits do not belong to the same person."
