Chapter 117 (Knife)

I just accidentally found someone I like.

Bad news, Ning Shen was bleeding profusely inside and outside his body, like a walking blood bag.

The good news is that a considerable portion of the spilled blood is the ancient demon blood that almost burst Ning Shen's meridians.

The devil's heart that Ning Chen possesses makes him very resilient and difficult to kill. Due to his physical condition, demons recover faster after being injured, and with the blessing of the devil's heart, his recovery speed is naturally even faster.

But in Ning Chen's current special situation, this physical condition has become a torture.

Fortunately, after Ning Chen experienced the initial bleeding situation, the amount of ancient demon blood in his body was greatly reduced. At least it no longer tore his body surface and meridians all the time, and the injuries that Ning Chen had been suffering from could also begin to be absorbed and healed.

In order to expel the excess ancient demon blood from Ning Chen's body, as soon as Xie Tingyun used his own spiritual power to offset it, he would be pinned down and locked in Ning Chen's arms, refusing to allow his spiritual energy to enter.

Xie Tingyun wanted to use Bunian as a container to draw out the ancient demon blood, but before Bunian could draw out much of it, it was as if it was sealed by someone and stayed in the scabbard, unable to come out. The aggrieved red-gold sword tassel was left grabbing and trying to reach Xie Tingyun and Ning Chen.

In the end, Xie Tingyun had no choice but to pour his spiritual power into a spiritual power ball, and then stuffed it into Ning Chen's arms.

Ning Shen's fever condition improved a little, but he still seemed to be a little unclear. He stared at the spirit ball for a long time, and threw it to the other side of the bed without any reluctance. He then wrapped his arms around Xie Tingyun's waist and buried himself inside it.

Xie Tingyun leaned over with amusement, gently touched Ning Shen's cheek, and said, "If you don't use it, it will be wasted. You can't take it back."

The arms around her waist tightened threateningly.

Xie Tingyun just smiled without saying anything, put the spirit ball back, and attracted the quiet demonic aura to fall on it.

The evil spirit wrapped around the spiritual energy ball like a toy, and stayed on it obediently, refusing to start absorbing it no matter what.

Ning Chen said, "No."

If there is a first time, there will be a second time. It’s always like this. Every time they say it can’t be taken back. Is there still any law?

Fortunately, Ning Chen couldn't be stubborn for too long. He would fall into a deep sleep quietly after being stubborn for a while.

He is not in a very good mental state.

However, unexpectedly, Ning Chen's wound healed very slowly, so slowly that even Xie Tingyun noticed something was wrong.

Xie Tingyun didn't ask for the ugly wounds on Ning Chen's body to heal slowly and visibly, but at least he shouldn't leave them alone for a while, or else the wounds that had been scabbed for two days would burst again, right?

Whose wound heals negatively? !

Xie Tingyun began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

But at that time Ning Chen was still unconscious due to the high fever. If Xie Tingyun approached, he would hold her by the waist and confine her to his side. It would only take a cup of tea for Ning Chen to turn over from the bed, pick up Bu Nian and rush out with an expressionless face. But Xie Tingyun hurried over to hold him down, and took Ning Chen's hand and pressed it on his face to make him confirm that he was by his side. Only then did Ning Chen go back to lie down.

Xie Tingyun pinched his brows.

Ning Chen interlocked his fingers with one hand and held Xie Tingyun's waist tightly with the other hand. He curled up beside Xie Tingyun, and from this angle, he even looked unusually calm.

Xie Tingyun sighed. He took the hand that was around his waist, carefully grasped Ning Chen's finger bones, and checked the injury on the palm of Ning Chen's hand.

The wound, deep enough to reveal the bone, had already scabbed over, but now it was bleeding again, as if the healing wound had been torn open again.

Xie Tingyun frowned.

He leaned over, pinched Ning Shen's face, and asked, "What's going on?"

Ning Chen didn't say a word, probably fell asleep again.

Xie Tingyun gently let go of Ning Chen. He turned around to get the medicine and applied it on Ning Chen's hand again. His fingertips lightly tapped Ning Chen's wrist bone, transmitting spiritual power into his body.

With external hemostasis and the ability to plunder his natural talents and feed them back to himself, Ning Shen's injuries shouldn't recover so slowly.

But now Xie Tingyun had no choice but to transfer spiritual power to Ning when he was asleep. He would not let Ning do this when he was awake.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Xie Tingyun was finally able to observe the changes in the wound on Ning Chen's hand.

The deep cuts that penetrated the palm and fingers slowly healed, but at a certain moment they suddenly stopped.

Then Xie Tingyun saw that the demonic energy in the wound silently eroded all the hemostatic drugs, and then ruthlessly tore the wound back to its original shape.

Xie Tingyun's pupils shrank, and he raised his hand to block his meridians, and suddenly said: "Ning Chen?!"

Ning Chen didn't react at all.

“…”

Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, frowned, and pinched Ning Chen's wrist. The spiritual power that emerged from his fingertips rolled up all the evil spirit that was biting and damaging the wound.

Ning Chen's demonic aura obviously recognized Xie Tingyun's spiritual power and was not aggressive towards him. It was just that the demonic auras under his control in Ning Chen's body were countless, and one after another appeared. Xie Tingyun simply sealed Ning Chen's meridian acupoints and temporarily sealed his cultivation, which completely stopped the demonic aura's behavior.

Xie Tingyun felt a little sad. He wiped the blood off Ning Chen's hands bit by bit, then applied medicine and fed him spiritual power again.

Although the meridians in the body are blocked, the plundering talent is still functioning.

Xie Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible intensity.

However, things were not as simple as Xie Tingyun thought.

He kept a close watch on Ning Shen for several days, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief after making sure that there was nothing wrong with Ning Shen, but Ning Shen suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, unsheathed his sword, and was about to stab him.

Xie Tingyun almost couldn't breathe.

The knife that was flying towards this side was powerful and fast. If it were to stab Ning Chen, the wound it caused would be even worse than that day.

Unaware that he was suddenly caught by Chengfeng in mid-air, Xie Tingyun forcefully turned Ning Chen's face, letting his bright red eyes, which had not yet returned to normal, look at him, and shouted, "Ning Chen!"

“…”

Ning Chen's eyes became more and more red, and he showed no signs of fatigue. The sword and the knife clashed in mid-air, and Cheng Feng Yin was at a disadvantage.

Xie Tingyun slowed down his tone and spoke word by word: "Ning Chen, take a good look at who I am."

Ning Chen stared at him for a long while, then said in a hoarse voice: "...Thank you, Tingyun. Don't lie to me."

"..." Xie Tingyun said calmly, "Okay."

The next moment, he was held in Ning Chen's arms and examined from head to toe. After Ning Chen confirmed that he was really fine, he relaxed quietly.

“…”

Without letting down his guard, he was thrown into the quilt at the foot of the bed by the wind.

Bu-nian had been feeling depressed these past few days, and since his two masters couldn't touch him, he had no choice but to pester Chengfeng who he hadn't seen for a long time, and stretched out all his sword tassels to flirt with Chengfeng. Fortunately, Chengfeng was in a good mood now, so he let him play however he wanted.

Ning Chen rested his hand on Xie Tingyun's shoulder, and always felt that something was different. However, after looking around aimlessly, he still couldn't remember what the difference was.

He closed his eyes tiredly and raised his hand to place it on Xie Tingyun's back.

"..." Ning Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

He pinched his smooth palms and seemed to understand.

The wound that had kept him sane was gone.

Ning Chen lowered his eyes, and with the magic energy in his hand like a knife, he easily cut several deep cuts on the palm of his left hand, deep enough to see the bones. Only then did he feel satisfied.

He even took his hand away on purpose, and the dripping blood was silently swallowed up by the evil spirit, and not a drop fell on Xie Tingyun.

Ning Chen remembered it very clearly. This man was very clean. There was so much blood on his body at that time, which was very ugly and made Ning Chen very angry.

Xie Tingyun smelled the scent of blood and felt uneasy. He turned around and said, "Ning Chen? You won't open the wound again..."

But before he could completely turn around, Ning Chen raised his hand and pressed it back, saying lazily, "No. I didn't tear it."

Xie Tingyun's pupils gradually dilated and his mind went blank.

Even though Ning Chen hid quickly enough, Xie Tingyun still saw it.

The hand that had healed smoothly was now gone in the blink of an eye and was covered in blood again.

Xie Tingyun froze in place, and suddenly realized that Ning Chen's strokes were not just in his palm.

Including the previous knife, the one that Xie Tingyun witnessed again tonight, the one that pierced through his waist and abdomen.

A painful blow used to counteract the effects of the aphrodisiac.

Now, all of them were like boomerangs, stabbing Xie Tingyun.

Ning Chen doesn't want these wounds to heal, and doesn't think these wounds can heal.

They have their great uses, for example, they can be used to keep Ning Shen awake so that he or she can find the lover who was still in love with him or her the night before.

Therefore, Ning Chen, a demon who plundered natural talents and a great demon in the realm of annihilation, recovered very slowly from the cuts on his palms and the penetrating wounds on his abdomen. If Xie Tingyun had not secretly intervened, perhaps they would not have healed at all.

Therefore, the demonic breath with a calm will must always ensure that the wound has a fresh sense of pain even when the main body is asleep and unconscious.

Only blood and pain could bring him peace of mind.

This way, the peaceful sleep he thought he had would not turn into a bloody game again.

Ning Chen saw Xie Tingyun shaking in bewilderment, so he simply stopped the bleeding from the wound.

Although he didn't quite understand why Xie Tingyun was shaking, the bleeding left hand affected his ability to hug the person.

Ning Chen had just put his hand on the back of Xie Tingyun's neck when Xie Tingyun reacted violently and struggled.

It was not until this moment that Ning Chen saw Xie Tingyun's expression clearly and was stunned for a moment.

“…”

Xie Tingyun suddenly hugged Ning Chen tightly, and his silent tears wet Ning Chen's collar.

Ning Chen involuntarily calmed down.

The bright red color in Ning Chen's eyes had faded a little at some point, but Xie Tingyun didn't notice.

He was silent for a while, then raised his scarred left hand and stared at the wound in a trance.

Ning Chen whispered, "It doesn't hurt, really."

He seemed to suddenly realize that he seemed to have done something wrong, but he was a little at a loss, because this was the only means he had to resist the defenseless situation.

Ning Chen really couldn't bear it to happen again.

He used to think that he was heartless, without any worries, alone, relaxed and unrestrained.

How nice.

He might have accidentally found someone he particularly liked, so he just didn't really want that person to die.

Ning Chen still lives a heartless life because he couldn't help but put the last bit of his concern on Xie Tingyun.

It's not like he hasn't thought about his own death and what would happen to Xie Tingyun.

What else can I do?

That ridiculous proposal was an accident, Xie Tingyun's agreement was also an accident, and the two of them rolling into bed in a daze was a complete accident.

From the moment Xie Tingyun decided to stay, from the moment he decided to kiss her, they both chose to use their last moments to enjoy the last pleasure.

What else can I do?

After all, everyone is going to die.

In Ning's field of vision, he could no longer see Xie Tingyun's expression.

But Ning Shen could still feel the person against his neck trembling more and more violently, his chest rising and falling violently, but he didn't make a sound the whole time.

There was only extreme pain, extreme effort, yet silent sobs and boiling tears.

Xie Tingyun made intermittent breathing sounds from deep in his chest.

Ning Chen didn't hear clearly. He turned his head in confusion and listened for a long time before finally hearing the almost inaudible voice say in a complete way: "...I'm sorry."
