Chapter 61 Don't worry, I won't let you be responsible
Xiao Yingyue was a little confused, but as smart as she was, she quickly realized what Jiang Lan meant.
If he wanted to conceal his cultivation and strength, he would have to find someone to take the blame for killing Lin Fan and the demon python.
And now, the most suitable person is naturally myself.
"Master Jiang, are you making things difficult for me? I have no cultivation at all, and I can hardly move an inch in this pitch-dark abyss..."
She shook her head slightly, and her autumn-water eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.
"Miss Xiao, why do you have to be so mean to yourself?"
Jiang Lan smiled, his eyes fell on her picturesque face, and waved his hand to interrupt her, "As the Grand Elder of Medicine King Valley, you can't even deal with Lin Fan and the Sixth Realm Demon King. It's a bit unreasonable."
"What……"
Xiao Yingyue was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes slightly opened, her face full of astonishment, almost doubting whether she had heard it wrongly? What did Jiang Lan call her? The Grand Elder of Medicine King Valley? When did he discover her identity? You know, even the elders of Medicine King Valley may not know her identity in front of her.
However, Xiao Yingyue still had an expression of astonishment and confusion on her face, her beautiful eyes staring at Jiang Lan almost without blinking, as if she had no idea what he was saying.
"Should I continue to call you Miss Xiao Yue, or Xiao Yingyue Tai Shang?" Jiang Lan asked with interest.
"How do you know my identity?"
Xiao Yingyue was stunned and asked quietly.
Now she was finally sure that Jiang Lan even knew her real name.
In Medicine King Valley, the only people who knew her real name were a few other supreme elders who were in seclusion.
Could it be that the Xiangguo Mansion had spies all over the world? Her whereabouts and movements were within the Xiangguo Mansion's sight from beginning to end? "Miss Xiao, you don't need to know this. You just need to know that I have no ill will towards you." Jiang Lan smiled slightly, and then added, "I will not tell any of the Medicine King Valley disciples about your preferences."
"you……"
Xiao Yingyue felt a little embarrassed and annoyed, and a blush finally appeared on her flawless fair face, but it was just because she was angry.
What do you mean by her preferences? In other words, from the very beginning, Jiang Lan actually knew her identity and origins, but he had no intention of revealing it, deliberately teasing her.
This guy is really abominable.
"How do you want me to help you? You can see that I have no cultivation at all now..." Xiao Yingyue glanced at him coldly.
"I said this because I am confident that I can help you recover your cultivation." Jiang Lan said slowly.
In the original plot, Xiao Yingyue recovered her cultivation by relying on a companion exotic flower found next to the strange grass. All things in the world are interdependent.
Rouge benzoin is no exception.
But Jiang Lan doesn't have time now for her to go find that rare flower.
Xiao Yingyue looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Jiang Lan didn't waste any words and immediately told her some records about Rouge Benzoate in Lin Fan's memory.
“So that’s how it is…”
Xiao Yingyue frowned, but she was not very surprised. She didn't believe that Jiang Lan would not search Lin Fan's memory after catching him.
The solution, besides looking for something that is compatible with it, is to use the great magic power to refine it completely.
"My own magic power dissipated after being contaminated by the Rouge Peace Grass. Are you sure you can help me refine that breath?" She was still a little skeptical. No matter how strong Jiang Lan's cultivation was, it was impossible for him to be stronger than her in his heyday.
Don't let yourself get involved instead of helping her.
Jiang Lan nodded gently and said, "It shouldn't be a problem to give it a try. At worst, we can just wait here to die together."
Of course he was very sure, otherwise he would not take the risk so easily.
The corners of Xiao Yingyue's mouth curled up slightly.
Seeing that he was so serious and sincere, and not afraid of the consequences, she didn't waste any words, but when she thought of the refining process, her ears felt hot.
Jiang Lan was using his power to help her refine it, so it was inevitable that his power would penetrate her limbs and travel through her meridians... What was the difference between this and double cultivation? But now, would he allow me to refuse? This matter concerned his secrets, and I didn't seem to have the ability to refuse now.
At that moment, the two of them sat cross-legged facing each other.
Jiang Lan reached out and grasped her white wrist which was as white as snow, and closed his eyes slightly.
"Calm down, concentrate, don't let your mind wander..."
A gentle and peaceful voice rang in Xiao Yingyue's slightly hot ears.
Not counting the time when she caught Jiang Lan and they rode together to escape, this was the first time in her life that she had such contact with the opposite sex.
Even though her heart was as calm as water, she couldn't help but feel a little confused at this moment.
After a moment, Xiao Yingyue felt that Jiang Lan's magic power had begun to flow towards her, so she narrowed her eyes and gradually gathered all her thoughts.
Buzz!!! The next moment, wisps of blood-red mist rose up around the two people, lingering around them, and soon turned into a large blood-red cocoon, completely covering the scene inside.
At this moment, even Jiang Lan did not notice that the entire Jueyuan suddenly fell silent, and the roars of monsters in the distance also quieted down.
A gust of wind that seemed to carry the breath of the underworld blew past from the bottom of the abyss, as if the god of death had descended upon the world.
Wisps of life breath were drawn away from the monsters and gathered towards the bloody cocoon.
Faintly, two blurry figures could be seen sitting cross-legged in it, but for some reason, one of the slender figures suddenly moved forward.
…
An hour later, a green rainbow rose into the air from the bottom of the abyss, passed through the clouds and miasma, and rushed out of the abyss.
"You just recovered your cultivation, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged in large quantities. Your meridians and limbs couldn't bear it, so it's normal to feel sore and weak."
"Hmm..." The soft and sticky voice seemed to carry some moisture for some reason.
"Once you get used to it, it should be normal soon." Jiang Lan said, looking at the pair of eyes that seemed to be shining with water.
"Um……"
Xiao Yingyue still responded briefly, and it seemed very difficult for her to say even one more word at this moment.
Jiang Lan said, "I said, I really just want to help you dissolve that Rouge Anxi Qi, do you believe me..."
“No.”
“…”
"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune to rob someone is not what a gentleman does."
"I'm not a gentleman, but since you don't believe it, I can only admit it reluctantly." Jiang Lan said seriously.
"I believe that there is something wrong with the technique you are practicing." Xiao Yingyue gently raised her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, and stared at his face.
Jiang Lan thought about it carefully. The Blood Forbidden Code was a martial art from the underworld, so it seemed normal for it to have some side effects.
He and Xiao Yingyue had no hatred or grudge against each other; on the contrary, they could be considered to have "shared hardships".
Jiang Lan doesn't think he is a good person, but he wouldn't be so cruel as to do such a thing to Xiao Yingyue.
After all, from the perspective of maximizing benefits, he is plotting to take over her luck, and Xiao Yingyue will be his sooner or later. Doing so will cause backlash and will only do more harm than good.
It's just that this guy is abnormally calm.
"My cultivation seems to have improved a lot..."
Xiao Yingyue barely stood up from Jiang Lan's arms, her tone slightly filled with surprise.
"Then you have to thank me." Jiang Lan said.
Xiao Yingyue rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "I can sense that your technique is quite weird. You'd better change it to avoid going astray."
She didn't know why she said this seriously.
Jiang Lan smiled indifferently, but still agreed seriously, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Don't worry, I won't let you be responsible."
Xiao Yingyue naturally didn't believe his nonsense. She suddenly smiled and stood up. Although she felt a little unnatural and staggered slightly, she quickly recovered.
She walked lightly in the air and instantly turned into a stream of light. When she reappeared, she was already at the edge of the abyss.
Her clothes fluttered and her long black hair was loose, covering up her fairy-like face.
