Chapter 13 "Bringing the family" and him...
Chen Qing wanted to throw his head to the ground and get back in.
Are you kidding me?! Now she has his snake coiled around her waist, his sword in her hand, and she's dragging her family out with her, and it's someone else's family she's dragging with her. If she were to run into him like this, he'd beat her into a pulp!
However, Chen Qing was disappointed. She had appeared in the forest of Mount Li in one piece, and in front of her was Li Daoxuan, who had been looking for her for a long time.
Zhao Ranran and Shen Ling disappeared, perhaps they were taken back to Chunjingtai.
Li Daoxuan folded his arms and stood under a tree as if strolling in the garden. When he saw Chen Qing coming out, he slowly let go of his hands.
Chen Qing looked at the scarlet-robed youth in front of him with gloomy eyes, silently put his sword behind his back, tilted his head and smiled, "Your Highness Prince Cang, long time no see."
"It's been a long time."
If it weren't for the inexplicable curling of Li Daoxuan's mouth, and the vague feeling of being covered in snow and wind all around, the two of them really looked like old friends who hadn't met for a long time and were reminiscing about the past.
Li Daoxuan called out her name: "Chen Qing." His voice was light, but it inexplicably revealed a murderous intent.
Chen Qing's smile widened. Although her face showed no emotion, her back was practically drenched in cold sweat. This man before her was always moody and unpredictable. Who knew if he would suddenly go crazy the next moment?
"Is there something wrong with King Cang?" she asked pretending to be stupid.
Li Daoxuan lowered his peach blossom eyes and suddenly moved closer to her.
Shen Qing took a step back against the conditions, but his waist was tightened by an irresistible force, pulling him forward.
She looked down and saw that it was Li Daoxuan who suddenly grabbed Qiu Ren's head and pulled it towards her.
Under the influence of inertia, Chen Qing couldn't stop her feet, and she stumbled and threw herself into Li Daoxuan's arms. Seeing that she was about to crash into his arms, Chen Qing reacted very quickly and supported Li Daoxuan's shoulders with her hands, stabilizing her body in time.
Her face quickly turned red.
It's not about shame, it's about holding it back.
Qiu Ren, the snake, was quite stubborn. His head was pulled straight into a line by his owner, and his tail refused to let go. As a result, Chen Qing was almost strangled to death.
"Your Highness," Chen Qing tried her best to maintain a decent smile. She covered Li Daoxuan's wrist with her other hand and squeezed it hard. "Can you let go?" She was almost out of breath.
Li Daoxuan had no intention of letting go. Instead, he snatched his sword back from the hand that was supporting his shoulder. "It's not me who should let go, it's this one."
Qiu Ren had his entire head in his hands, which must have been uncomfortable.
Shen Qing resisted the urge to slap him and said calmly, “I think if Your Highness lets go first, it will loosen up soon.”
Li Daoxuan remained indifferent.
Just when Shen Qing thought he was going to suffocate to death here, Li Daoxuan finally mercifully let go.
He seemed to laugh in anger, "You fool who can't distinguish between the main and the external."
Shen Qing just took a few steps back, panting, when he was grabbed by the wrist by the other party again.
Li Daoxuan quickly took out a talisman from his waist and slapped it on Qiu Ren's snake head. Qiu Ren froze instantly, and fell loosely from Chen Qing's waist and fell to the ground.
Li Daoxuan picked it up with his sword like a rag, and said, "Go back and find Gu Yun." Then he threw it back.
Qiu Ren, who was finally able to move, glanced at Chen Qing reluctantly, then crawled dejectedly in the opposite direction.
Huo Huo Gu Yun went.
Li Daoxuan said: “Now it’s time to settle our accounts, Madam Shen.”
Chen Qing broke free and feigned ignorance, saying, "Settle accounts? What accounts? Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse me." She pointed at the sword that had been returned to its original owner and said, "This sword was lent to me by Prince Gu. I didn't know it was yours."
"And that snake." She frowned and said coquettishly, "I was just walking peacefully, but your Highness's snake suddenly ran over and wrapped itself around me, and I couldn't shake it off. If it were any other lady, she would have been scared to death by your Highness's snake."
Li Daoxuan: "Then let's not talk about snakes or swords." He closed his eyes slightly, leaned forward slightly, and suddenly approached Shen Qing with his face, with a strong sense of oppression, "The other day, there was a restaurant, and Madam Shen took something from me and has not returned it to this day. Now that I, the original owner, have come to ask for it back, Madam Shen should also return it to its original owner."
Chen Qing asked doubtfully, "I only remember that I retrieved my hairpin from the Peacock Demon. The prince and the demon were locked in a fierce battle. It was difficult for an ordinary person like me to even get close to you two, let alone take your things."
Li Daoxuan's face suddenly darkened. He didn't want to talk any more and began to take off the fingerless black leather gloves on his hands.
This was his usual move when he was about to deal with someone.
Seeing this, Chen Qing changed the subject and said, "But after you two left, I found something on the ground. I wonder if it's what the prince wants."
Li Daoxuan stopped taking off his gloves.
She took out an object from the pouch at her waist and said, "This is it."
The girl's fingertips were white and delicate, like the finest mutton-fat jade. A plump Pisces jade pendant dangled from her fingertips, the very thing Li Daoxuan had been searching for for so long.
As soon as Li Daoxuan saw it, he reached out to grab it.
Chen Qing raised his hand, his smile growing even wider. Seeing that Li Daoxuan didn't pursue the matter of the sword and Qiu Ren, he thought about the Liuli Heart he had just retrieved. Feeling more confident, he suddenly felt a bit of fun playing with a dog.
She asked, "Is this jade pendant really your Highness's?"
Li Daoxuan: "You're asking even though you already know the answer."
"But I don't believe it. Your Highness, do you have any evidence to prove that this is your jade pendant?"
As soon as these words came out, Ruyuan saw a sword stretched across his neck. Li Daoxuan was full of unruly and arrogant. He sneered and said sarcastically: "I am taking my own things, why do I need to prove it?"
Chen Qing immediately pretended to be frightened and grabbed the sharp knife at his neck, but he used too much force, and the scarlet blood dripped through his fingers into the collar of his double-breasted shirt and seeped through the collar.
A visible red light flashed before their eyes. Chen Qing exclaimed and took out the glass heart from his inner collar, "It's so hot!"
The moment Li Daoxuan saw Liulixin, his pupils shrank sharply, and even the sword in his hand became unstable.
Suddenly, he thought of something and abruptly retracted his sword. He looked up and saw the girl's neck was as white and smooth as before. He pursed his lips and changed his words, "How do you want me to prove it?"
Liulixin recognized its master, and the light on its body disappeared, turning it into a plain red stone again.
Chen Qing suppressed the smile in her eyes, and instead showed confusion. "Your Highness, why are you so inconsistent in your words?" She frowned, her face tense. "Your Highness, do you want the jade pendant? Are you planning to rob it?"
Li Daoxuan looked at the hypocritical girl in front of him, lightly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, closed his eyes and said, "No." He suppressed his impatience and explained, "This is the jade pendant I have carried since childhood. Everyone around me can testify to this."
Chen Qing said, "But His Highness Prince Cang is in a high position and has great power. All the servants around him are in awe of his authority and obey him. How can I trust them--"
Li Daoxuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her, "Gu Yun!"
She raised her eyes, innocence and simplicity in them.
"Gu Yun is the eldest son of the Regent Prince. Do you trust his words?"
The Regent Prince is the younger brother of the current Saint, and his status is unparalleled. Even Li Daoxuan has to call him the Emperor's Uncle. As the prince's son, Gu Yun's status is naturally not much different.
Chen Qing finally let the other person go and smiled with relief, "Since His Highness has mentioned Master Gu, I think what he said is true. The jade pendant must have been left by you."
She solemnly stuffed the jade pendant into Li Daoxuan's hand and said word by word, "Your Highness's things must be kept well. Don't drop them again next time."
Li Daoxuan slowly clenched the jade pendant and said in a deep voice, "Definitely."
Today, he finally got his revenge. Chen Qing looked at Li Daoxuan's embarrassed departure and felt more relaxed than ever before.
She just loves to see the other person wanting to kill her but unable to.
Love to watch, watch more.
001's cold electronic voice was filled with confusion: "Host, the target's favorability is -20."
Shen Qing didn't even turn around, "Oh."
"Are you...really planning to capture Li Daoxuan?"
Shen Qing nodded and said, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
"According to the main system's calculations, if the host continues in this manner, the mission target's favorability will not improve at all. If Li Daoxuan's favorability is still less than 100 after three years, the host's mission will be considered a failure."
Chen Qing curled the corners of his lips, "Broken system, you don't understand this. Humans are animals with very complex emotions. It's useless to rely on calculations alone."
Moreover, she discovered that Li Daoxuan would lower his bottom line again and again for Liulixin, which was enough to show how important Liulixin was to her.
Liuli Heart recognizes its master. If Chen Qing does not willingly offer Liuli Heart to him one day, even if he forcibly snatches Liuli Heart away, he will only get a useless broken stone in his hand.
When Li Daoxuan was willing to lower his tolerance again and again for her, he was destined to be the loser.
Chen Qing commented: "Li Daoxuan is just an arrogant and unruly middle school boy. If you want to deal with him, you have to be worse than him." Of course, you also need the help of Liulixin, otherwise if you act arrogantly in front of the opponent, you will be killed by the opponent's sword.
001 was stunned by the trick. "It seems that 001 needs to work hard to understand humans."
Shen Qing waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”
001 was about to flee when Chen Qing called out to it, "If I change the plot like this, will it have an impact on the world?"
For example, the Liuli Heart that the heroine should have obtained, Zhao Ranran who should have died, and Chen Qing and Li Daoxuan who were not present in the original text but suddenly attended the skirt tent banquet.
001 said: "The host's existence itself is unreasonable. If the plot changes because of the strategy to capture the second male lead, it is understandable."
When Shen Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, “So whether I save Zhao Ranran or prevent the Shen Mansion from being destroyed, the main system will not interfere?”
"Yes, host. Besides, 001 and the main system both feel that this book has illogical logic, a poor plot, a poor intention, and seriously ooc characters. If what the host does is not against human ethics and does not harm the people, perhaps it would be better if the plot was changed appropriately."
The original author created the hero as a man with a broad mind, as bright as the moon and as gentle as the breeze, and who treats everyone with kindness.
But in the later part of the book, after the vicious female supporting character died, after the male protagonist fell in love, and before the second male lead ruined the plot, the male protagonist seemed to be dominated by love, and there was no longer any thought about the great truth and the people in his heart, only the female protagonist.
The book describes that no one can look at the heroine, otherwise the hero will assume that the other person is a rival in love and will not give her a good face. Even a passing dog will be kicked if it looks at the heroine.
The male protagonist's character is completely ruined.
Chen Qing obviously thought of the senior brother described in the later part of the original book. With a fierce look in her eyes, she asked again: "Can't I really kill the heroine?"
001's voice was icy: "Host, you are a vicious female supporting role. There has never been a case of a vicious female supporting role killing the female lead. I have only heard of the female lead killing the female supporting role."
As soon as these words came out, the hostility in Chen Qing's eyes miraculously eased, and an idea slowly took root in his mind, "If you can't kill me, can you hide?" Chen Qing squinted his eyes and curled his lips, "From now on, you don't have to keep reporting Li Daoxuan's favorability. When the favorability reaches 90, just let me know."
"You can't help me or protect me anyway, so why not just stay invisible and be mute?"
001: "...Okay, host."
The system went into hiding quickly this time.
Chen Qing got some useful information and felt very happy.
However, something else soon came to mind, and Chen Qing suddenly remembered what Qing Nu had said:
"I can see it. Your whole body, including your hair, smells like another man, oh no, another little brat. The same goes for this snake and the sword in your hand."
In his previous life, Qiu Ren looked down on and despised everyone, including her, but in this life, Qiu Ren took the initiative to leave Li Daoxuan and get entangled with her.
Thinking back to how Qiu Ren looked so different from her previous life, and how she had easily drawn Li Daoxuan's sword, Chen Qing suspected that the formation used in their previous life had connected them in this life.
As for what the connection was, she didn't know.
Chen Qing had come across this formation by chance in his master's library. It was the Winged Twins Formation.
Such a strange name is different from its purpose.
The book says: "The twin wings formation is formed, with Mars guarding the heart. At the end of the eighth solar term, within the palace of Li, the yin is at its extreme and the yang is at its extreme. They drink blood to cross over, and the yin becomes stronger and the yang becomes weaker. When the yin is strong, nirvana is achieved."
Chen Qing understood that on the day when Mars was guarding the heart, the extremely yin body and the pure yang body in the Li Palace swore an oath through blood, sacrificing the pure yang body in exchange for the rebirth of the extremely yin body.
The day when Li Daoxuan killed her was the winter solstice, and that day also happened to be the day when Mars, which rarely appears in a thousand years, appeared in the world. On the Xuanji Pavilion, there was a raging fire caused by the fight between the two, which corresponded to the image of the Li Palace in the Eight Palaces. Li Daoxuan had a pure yang body, and she had an extremely yin body.
What a coincidence, it was as if God had taken the initiative to serve the food to her, set out the bowl and chopsticks, and was just waiting for her to pick up the chopsticks and eat.
How could she be willing to miss this chance to survive? So Chen Qing formed a formation without hesitation, first passing her heart blood to Li Daoxuan, and then pulling him in for sacrifice.
The Winged Twins Formation in the book was indeed not a bluff, and Chen Qing was indeed reborn.
But in this life, she was tainted with the scent of Li Daoxuan, or it could be said that the two of them had an inexplicable bond, which caused Li Daoxuan's snake to recognize her as one of its own, and even Li Daoxuan's spiritual sword accepted her.
Rebirth is an act of defying fate and changing one's destiny. Chen Qing didn't know if this formation had any other side effects because she didn't continue reading in her previous life.
Now it seems that I have to take out that book again and take a good look at whether this formation has any side effects.
Thinking of this, just as she was about to return to Chunjingtai, her waist tightened again.
Immediately, Shen Qing realized that he was being embraced by someone.
