Chapter 129
Just come.
Ning was silent for a while, and said: "They are not completely transformed into demons. All I can do is transfer all the demonic energy in their bodies to me. Their life span is still coming to an end, and their physical impairment will take a long time to heal. If you can overcome this hurdle, you will live a long life. If you can't, then you won't have much time left. When the time comes..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Tingyun raised his hand and pressed his lips.
Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and looked at him, with a faint, bright light in the corners of his eyes.
His voice was a little hoarse: "It's already this late, let's talk about something else."
Ning Chen followed his words and kept silent, his dark red eyes looking at Xie Tingyun quietly.
Xie Tingyun seemed to have calmed down. He lowered his eyes and carefully used the cleansing spell to wash away the blood stains on the two people.
He raised his hands to straighten Ning Shen's collar, cuffs, and hem, wiped the blade and the dried blood off it, and then put it back into the sheath.
Xie Tingyun lay on Ning Chen like this. He raised his hand to untie Ning Chen's slightly messy hair crown, and then tied it up again bit by bit.
The devilish aura of Dao Ling and the other two after they were demonized was absorbed into Ning Chen's body, and the familiar squeezing and cracking feeling in his meridians returned.
It's not that Ning Chen didn't want to stay with Xie Tingyun for a while longer. It's just that if he didn't do so, that damn old man and his fellow apprentices might die before Ning Chen.
They did not rob the talents, but the immortal sect also did not have any elixirs to heal the fallen demons. If the demonic energy in their bodies was transferred away, Liuyun Sect could still use elixirs to nourish them, and at least they would not be seriously injured and die on the spot.
Maybe there is still room for improvement.
The cool fingertips shuttled through my hair, softly and gently, I felt so peaceful and comfortable that I tilted my head back slightly. I didn't expect that I could be treated like this, so I said, "Thank you, Tingyun."
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, then replied softly, "Yeah."
Ning Chen watched him get himself ready bit by bit. Within an incense stick of time, he transformed from the man covered in scars and blood into the majestic and unpredictable Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord, whose emotions were hard to tell, said, "Thank you, Tingyun."
Xie Tingyun paused for a moment, then leaned down, pressed his hand against Ning Shen's forehead, and said, "I want to watch."
Ning Shen frowned: "No. I don't agree."
Xie Tingyun just looked at him quietly.
Xie Tingyun did not say any words of begging or threatening. All his emotions were in his eyes, and he could see everything clearly.
“…”
Ning Chen sighed and said, "Let me make this clear first. You can't do anything stupid."
Xie Tingyun then closed his eyes and buried his head in Ning Chen's neck. He did not agree to this condition, but whispered: "Ning Chen."
"Can you please wait for me?"
"Don't be reincarnated so quickly."
"I'll come find you."
Ning Chen was really panicking this time. He pinched Xie Tingyun's face and lifted him up. He looked into Xie Tingyun's eyes and said seriously, "Xie Tingyun, what do you want to do?"
Xie Tingyun silently shook off Ning Chen's hand and said, "I will refine the Heavenly Sword until the Heavenly Gate is opened."
Ning Chen asked: "What happens next?"
Xie Tingyun stared at him without saying a word.
Ning Chen hissed, and couldn't help but pinch Xie Tingyun's face, saying unhappily, "What era is this? Why are you still committing suicide for love?"
Xie Tingyun simply closed his eyes, not meeting his gaze, and whispered, "But you are gone."
Ning Chen was silent for a while, then said, "Don't do stupid things, live well. Here you still have your master, your fellow disciples, and many obsessions that you can't let go of. After the Heavenly Gate is opened, there will be no more thresholds for ascending. You can still strive for the transformation of spirits or ascend. You have a bright future. You have come this far, why are you thinking about dying?"
Xie Tingyun put his ear to Ning Shen's chest, listening to the still strong heartbeat there, and slowed down his voice: "You are gone."
Ning Chen said: "If you lose your Taoist partner, you can find another one. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?"
Xie Tingyun stood up while holding Ning Chen's chest, staring at Ning Chen's dark red eyes very seriously, and repeated word by word: "You are gone."
“…”
Ning Chen said with a headache: "Why do you only know this one sentence? Can you say something else?"
Xie Tingyun said, "Wait for me."
Ning Chen: “…”
The atmosphere returned to silence. Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and silently returned to Ning's arms.
Ning Shen hugged the person in his arms tightly in pain.
He knew Xie Tingyun's stubborn temper. Once he really wanted to do something, even ten cows couldn't stop him.
Only when Ning Chen is around can he use force to suppress Xie Tingyun from doing those bad thoughts. But when Ning Chen is gone, no one will be able to control Xie Tingyun.
How can that stinky old man be a master when he can't even control his own apprentice, what a waste!!!
Ning Chen became angrier the more he thought about it.
However, after a while, Ning Chen heard him say softly: "If I stop at the Mahayana stage, my life span will only be 1,500 years; if I stop at the Divine Transformation stage, my life span will be 5,000 years; if I ascend to heaven, I will be immortal, and become an immortal, and nothing outside of my body will have anything to do with me."
Xie Tingyun said, "I am serious. I know these are very meaningful, but you can't expect me to watch you die four times and still be able to spend such a long time alone without hope."
"Ning Chen, you can't do this." Xie Tingyun looked at him and said softly, "Wait for me."
Ning Chen was startled: "..."
After saying this, Xie Tingyun observed Ning Shen's expression for a while, and said helplessly: "We are honest with each other. So, I don't want to hide it from you."
“…”
Ning Chen sighed, pressed Xie Tingyun into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Yeah."
Xie Tingyun was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suddenly and asked, "Really?"
As long as Ning Chen is willing to wait for him, as long as Ning Chen does not reincarnate before Xie Tingyun is freed, the points Xie Tingyun gets will be enough to send Ning Chen's soul to the retirement world he has chosen long ago.
If you are calm, you can live freely and happily forever.
As long as you are calm and willing.
"Yeah. Seriously." Ning Chen gently kneaded the back of Xie Tingyun's neck and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I gave away this magic heart myself, so of course I have to see it fully utilized."
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "I remember you asked me before if I had any obsessions that I couldn't let go of, the kind that would haunt me even after my reincarnation."
He lowered his head, kissed the side of the person in his arms, and whispered, "Now I have it."
Since you want me to wait for you to die together, then...
Just come.
Xie Tingyun seemed to have not expected Ning Chen to agree so quickly, and he could hardly suppress his surprise.
"However," Ning Chen suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Why four times?"
Ning Chen remembered the puppet once, his real body once, and he would take the devil's heart once more later, so where did the four times come from?
But when he said this, Xie Tingyun glared at him, then leaned back against Ning Shen's chest in frustration and said nothing more.
“…”
Ning Shen suddenly felt something was wrong.
Xie Tingyun would definitely not be wrong in this regard. His reaction just now did not seem like a denial, but rather more like anger and complaint.
...Do you blame him for going to die without consulting me?
But he is discussing it now.
“…”
Serene silence.
Before he could figure it out, Xie Tingyun gently turned his face over, kissed the corner of his lips, and then said: "Ning Chen...you must wait for me."
The beauty trap has always worked for Ning Shen.
Ning Chen rarely saw Xie Tingyun look so pleading. Before he could figure it out, his heart softened and he said, "Okay."
Although he also didn't understand where Xie Tingyun's determination to commit suicide for love came from.
The bells outside the Yunfeng Pavilion rang suddenly. A disciple was knocking on the door. He asked in a panic, "Big Brother!"
"Big Brother! Demon Lord! Are you in there? Are you all right?"
There was no response from inside the door for a long time. Countless disciples stood silently outside the Yunfeng Pavilion, and their faces looked a little sad.
"Big Brother... Demon Lord, are you really going to die?"
"We haven't had time yet, thank him."
Xie Tingyun suddenly closed his eyes and his body trembled slightly.
Even though Xie Tingyun had prepared himself mentally, even though Ning Chen had promised to wait for him, even though Xie Tingyun had already left a way out.
When he really faced it, he still felt stage fright.
Ning Chen, however, forcefully pushed Xie Tingyun back as he was about to stand up, held him in his arms, and whispered, "Where are you going? I don't want to see them. What is there to thank you for? You should answer the phone for me."
He lowered his head and rubbed Xie Tingyun, humming, "Time is running out. I don't want to waste it on others, let alone on meaningless thanks."
Ning Chen admitted that he was extremely stingy. There wasn't much time left, and it wasn't even enough to spend time with Xie Tingyun, so how could he be willing to share it with others?
Xie Tingyun trembled for a while, then said calmly, "Okay."
Some things need to be understood after all.
No matter how reluctant Ning Chen was, his physical condition would not allow him to delay any longer.
He had just absorbed the demonic aura of three Mahayana stage demons. Although the effect was far inferior to that of the blood pool, it was still a huge burden for Ning Shen, who had just experienced a fierce battle and consumed a lot of energy.
It's better to take this opportunity and finish what needs to be done as soon as possible.
If he stayed longer... Ning Chen might not be willing to leave.
The green horn, the celestial silk, the tears of resentful ghosts.
All three materials were in Xie Tingyun's hands, and the demon-killing formation had been set up long ago.
After Xie Tingyun cleaned up Yunfeng Pavilion, Ning Chen dragged Xie Tingyun to the back mountain.
The place to take the devil's heart can be the Demon Palace, it can be a corner, it can be the Liuyun Sect in broad daylight, but it cannot be the Yunfeng Pavilion.
In response to Ningchen's request, the two of them slipped to the back mountain without alarming anyone, and the disciples outside Yunfeng Pavilion still did not receive a response.
They had also experienced a fierce battle and were now exhausted both physically and mentally. Naturally, they did not think of going around in a long circle and coming to the back mountain.
Today is a cloudless day with a vast sky and mottled shadows of the trees.
Ning Chen had never felt the wind blowing across his body so clearly. He was face to face with the love of his life, with an array of light gradually brightening beneath his feet.
Ning Chen was still wearing the same gilded black robe as before, and he had no sword on his waist. Bunian and Chengfeng both stayed in Yunfeng Pavilion.
He also came to this strange place empty-handed.
When he left, it turned out that there was someone accompanying him.
Ning Chen lowered his eyes, looked at Xie Tingyun for a while, and said, "Your light is too bright, aren't you afraid that it will hurt your eyes later?"
Xie Tingyun's throat was blocked. He took a deep breath. His eyes were slightly red, but he was reluctant to look away: "...I've been shaken."
