Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Don't Hurt the Innocent
Parrot Little Yellow followed suit: "It's okay, Big Brother Ye, this is our only chance."
Ye Nanque pressed it down again. Why does this child only learn things he shouldn’t learn?
The devilish sound lingered in his ears, and Ye Nanque felt an indescribable sense of guilt. He always felt that if he rejected Mu Jiulin now, it would be an unforgivable sin.
As for the love, the tonic given by Yan Xichuang is beneficial to their spiritual practice. Even if they do not meet the standards of being lovers, there will be no harm in taking it. It can be regarded as a psychological comfort for Mu Jiulin.
After thinking hard for a long time, Ye Nanque resigned himself to his fate and said, "Yeah."
Mu Jiulin's smile deepened. If those eyes were not entangled by the poisonous silk, Ye Nanque could imagine that they would light up again like before.
Mu Jiulin took out Du Qing from the zero capsule, and gave one to Ye Nanque each.
Ye Nanque only coughed twice while taking the medicine, without saying a word. Mu Jiulin asked him nervously, "What's wrong? If you want to regret it, it's not too late now."
Ye Nanque: "...No, I choked."
Mu Jiulin was obviously relieved.
Ye Nanque had no experience with group cultivation, nor did he recall anyone in the book mentioning Mu Jiulin cultivating together. Not wanting to appear ignorant, he secretly summoned the system: "Child, how do we cultivate together?"
The system hesitated: [You...you, sigh...]
Ye Nanque: [Huh? Your signal is bad?]
System: [How dare you agree to this without knowing anything? ?]
Ye Nanque was horrified: [Huh? I've already taken the medicine, it won't hurt me, right?]
System: [The medicine is fine, it's a proper medicine.]
Ye Nanque was relieved: [That's fine.]
System: [No, that’s what you’re worried about? Shouldn’t you be worried about…]
Ye Nanque figured out something was wrong: "Why are you hesitating so much today? What shameful things have you done?"
System: […I’m going to update the system. I won’t be online for two hours.]
Ye Nanque: [Update the system? Now? What should I do? I don't know how to do anything, so I'm really clueless!]
System: [Updating system, do not disturb.]
The system just ignored him, and Ye Nanque could only bite the bullet and face Mu Jiulin. At this moment, he was even a little glad that Mu Jiulin couldn't see the stupidity on his face.
Mu Jiulin: "Brother Ye, how do you feel?"
Ye Nanque: "There is spiritual energy flowing through my Dantian, and my hands and feet are warming up. This is indeed a good elixir."
Mu Jiulin slowly stretched out a hand: "Brother Ye, hold it. Try to circulate the spiritual energy in your body and cross it with me."
Ye Nanque did as he was told, and sure enough, his meridians began to flow freely, his spirit cleared, and even the areas that had been blocked were cleared by the surging spiritual energy, leaving him feeling completely refreshed. It was quite miraculous. The spiritual energy flowed from his body through their connected fingers and into Mu Jiulin's. Simultaneously, the spiritual energy within Mu Jiulin's body also surged towards him. The world suddenly became quiet, as if there were only the two of them.
This was the first time Ye Nanque had experienced this novelty. He exclaimed in amazement, "It's worthy of being a fellow practitioner."
Mu Jiulin smiled softly, his face flushed. "This can't be called joint practice yet. It's just the beginning. Brother Ye, next, you have to tell me what you saw truthfully."
As they were talking, a red light enveloped their clasped hands, slowly shrinking and turning into a line that wrapped around their fingers. Ye Nanque found it interesting, but when he moved his fingers, the red line broke.
...Huh? He didn't do anything? Is this a scam?
Mu Jiulin noticed something: "What happened?"
Thinking of what Mu Jiulin had just said, Ye Nanque couldn't hide it and said, "Just now there was a red thread connecting you and me, but it broke again."
"Disconnected...?" Mu Jiulin's fingers trembled.
Ye Nanque felt guilty: "Ah... It's okay, why don't we try again. As long as you work hard, you will always succeed. If it doesn't work the first time, just try a few more times. Don't lose heart."
Mu Jiulin thought for a moment, then smiled and slowly pulled his hand away: "Maybe the time has not come yet. My heart... is not sincere. Next time, next time I will try with Brother Ye."
This was a failure? Their group practice... failed?
Then Mu Jiulin must be very disappointed.
Ye Nanque patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, A'lin, whenever you want to try, Brother Ye will accompany you."
Mu Jiulin hummed, still very lonely said that he wanted to go out for a walk, even Ye Nanque said to accompany him, he refused. Looking at Mu Jiulin's back, Ye Nanque warned the parrot that had just been planted in the yard: "Listen, he's in a bad mood recently, don't talk nonsense in front of him."
Then, he walked up to Xiao Huang and gave him an extra warning: "If you are good, I will like you. If you are not good, I will pull you out."
He put his hand across his neck and made a threatening gesture. Xiao Huang trembled, and Ye Nanque felt that he was becoming more and more like a villain.
Counting the time, the March deadline is almost here. Ye Nanque is still a little reluctant to leave.
The three months in the Tuzhou Wilderness were the most casual days since he entered the book. He didn't have to worry about the plot or the villain's character.
But whether it is Mu Jiulin as the protagonist or him who accepts the system task, they all have their missions to complete.
One rainy night, the rain was heavy. There was a knock on the door of the wooden house. Ye Nanque went to open the door and saw the fruit spirit standing at the door with a panicked look and wet body.
Ye Nanque: "Why are you here?"
The fruit spirit could barely speak clearly: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, there is a monster."
Ye Nanque raised his eyebrows: "Are you kidding me? Aren't you a monster?"
Fruit spirit: "There is... there is a big demon, a big demon! He asked me to lead him to find... the blind little monk who lives with you... I, I, I, didn't mean to..."
Ye Nanque understood, and the expression on his face gradually faded. He looked behind the fruit spirit. A few dozen meters away, he saw a figure wearing a bamboo hat. The rain formed a natural curtain, and Ye Nanque could only vaguely see a face with a wicked smile under the bamboo hat.
Mu Jiulin, who was behind him, suddenly passed him and stood in front of him, whispering, "Nanming."
Nan Ming laughed out loud: "Why, you can recognize me even though you can't see? You really care about me, Mu Jiulin."
Mu Jiulin clenched Hengshui tightly: "The disgusting smell on you is hard to forget."
Nanming took a few steps forward. Ye Nanque became nervous, but he still stopped outside the wooden house. "When we were in Wuzong, Pei Feng wouldn't let me kill you, saying he wanted to use your body. Now, I found you before him, and I can finally kill you."
Mu Jiulin glanced sideways and said to Ye Nanque, "Stay in the room and don't come out."
Then he said to Nanming, "If you want to kill me, just come after me alone and don't hurt innocent people."
He walked into the rain with a sword in hand. The soil washed by the rain gave off a fishy smell, and what spread with it was the tension of an impending battle.
Even though he knew Mu Jiulin would win, Ye Nanque couldn't help but rant. A Foundation Establishment cultivator taking on a God Transformation-level monster—what was he thinking? While it's exciting to beat monsters above your level, it can't be this outrageous! It's exciting, but the abuse is truly brutal. So, Mu Jiulin got the beating, and the author couldn't get hit. So, you don't feel bad at all, right?
Nan Ming grinned, revealing his sharp teeth. "You look just like when she suppressed me back then. She lost all her cultivation, and even had part of her soul devoured by me. And yet, I'm still free and unrestrained, and now I can even come and take your life."
The "she" Nanming was referring to was Mu Jiulin's mother, Cangjun. The two were born on the shores of the Canghai Sea and had practiced together since childhood, making them childhood sweethearts. However, Cangjun eventually chose Mu Feng, and Nanming, driven by love and hatred, became a demonic force wreaking havoc on the region. It was truly a fateful relationship.
Mu Jiulin chuckled softly, "You're still remembering something that happened almost twenty years ago, so it's clear you haven't been very carefree. I heard that the monsters in your sea will greatly increase their power on rainy nights. Why didn't you come earlier or later, but tonight? Aren't you afraid you can't defeat me?"
He was deliberately trying to provoke Nanming.
Nan Ming's face turned cold, the whale knife in his hand clanged, emitting wisps of dark demonic energy: "You are seeking death."
The next second, he raised his knife and flew into the air to chop towards Mu Jiulin.
Mu Jiulin relied on the sound to determine the location and barely avoided the first attack.
Ye Nanque saw two lights flashing here and there, accompanied by thunder, as if he was watching a 4D movie. The movie made his heart go up and down, and he felt uneasy in his chest.
Seeing that Mu Jiulin was at a disadvantage, Ye Nanque couldn't help but found a piece of cloth to cover his face, picked up Wu Yin and rushed out.
System: [Host————]
Ye Nanque: [Stop talking nonsense, I'm determined to have this fight today!]
No matter what, he is still in the Jindan stage, so it is impossible that he can't help at all.
Nan Ming sneered, "Where did this ignorant brat come from? He doesn't even dare to show his face. You want to die? I'll help you."
A whale-like knife slashed through the rain curtain. Ye Nanque was unable to dodge and took the blow head-on. He didn't feel any pain at all. He just felt that it was a good thing that the move was aimed at him and not at Mu Jiulin.
Mu Jiulin sensed something was wrong: "Brother Ye?"
Ye Nanque: "It's okay, just focus!"
With Ye Nanque around, Mu Jiulin was finally not so passive. The three of them were in a stalemate for a while, but soon fell into a disadvantage.
The God Transformation level is still the God Transformation level after all. Defeating monsters above your level is not as simple as it sounds. For Nanming, beating the two of them was like playing.
Ye Nanque was knocked aside, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and didn't even have the strength to get up.
Nan Ming didn't care about him at all, his mind was all on Mu Jiulin. When Mu Jiulin was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up, he showed a satisfied smile, walked closer step by step, walked to Mu Jiulin's side, kicked him twice, found his struggle interesting, squatted down and slowly admired him.
"You look good, really good. I really want your mother to see you like this. Come to think of it, you haven't even seen what she looks like."
Physical torture alone could not relieve the hatred in Nanming's heart. He also wanted to abuse Mu Jiulin mentally.
Nanming pointed upwards and a ball of light appeared. "This is the soul of your mother that I swallowed. Do you want to see her memories before she died?"
Without giving any explanation, he shoved the ball of light into Mu Jiulin's brain.
