Chapter 34034 Helping to Wear
Chapter 34 "Yingji?" Kong Fan called as he walked deeper into the lake.
The lake was very large. When Yingji started to take off her clothes, Kongfan had already turned around and didn't look at her. He didn't know exactly where Yingji was taking a bath.
Kong Fan closed his eyes and used his spiritual power to sense where Ying Ji was.
He had just closed his eyes when his ankle was suddenly grabbed. At the same time, he also sensed Ying Ji's location, which should be right below him.
Was it Yingji who caught him?
Just as this thought came to his mind, the hand holding his ankle suddenly loosened and disappeared.
Kongfan immediately dived into the water.
He half-closed his eyes and looked for Yingji, who was slowly falling. Kongfan immediately swam towards her.
He reached out his hand to Yingji, and Yingji did the same, as if begging for help. However, before their hands touched, before Kongfan could grasp Yingji, Yingji's hand slowly dropped.
Kong Fan was startled and immediately swam towards Ying Ji faster. He swam to Ying Ji's side and put his arms around her waist.
Yingji looked at him with half-closed eyes. She wanted to speak, but suddenly choked on a mouthful of water. She began to cough violently, and her face gradually turned pale.
As Kong Fan carried Ying Ji upstream, he could clearly feel Ying Ji's body gradually becoming stiff.
He leaned over and approached Yingji. "Yingji? Yingji?"
Yingji suddenly reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, leaning forward, her lips pressed against Kongfan's. She greedily sucked in the air from his mouth, like a dying person's instinct for survival.
Kong Fan was stunned.
He had no way of pushing Yingji away. He passed a breath of air into Yingji's mouth, and seeing the triumphant smile in Yingji's eyes, Kong Fan sighed helplessly and swam out of the water with Yingji.
The lost hearing and vision seemed to be restored in an instant, the sunlight became dazzling, and the chirping of insects and birds in the distance became exceptionally clear.
Kong Fan released his hand from Yingji's waist and wanted to turn around and go ashore first.
Yingji grabbed the corner of Kongfan's monk's sleeve and said, "My leg is cramping."
She always tells lies, and her every word and action is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. Kong Fan didn't know whether what she said was true or false for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "If you really have a leg cramp, my leg will hurt too."
Ying Ji uttered a soft "Ah!" and reached out her hand, placing her wet fingers on her lips, feigning surprise: "I forgot about the Tongsheng Gu."
Kong Fan frowned and looked at her, his clear eyes filled with confusion.
He hesitated for a while, but finally asked, "Yingji, why did you lie to me like this?"
Yingji pursed her wet lips, did not answer, and looked at him quietly.
Kong Fan's tone was somewhat helpless: "Don't lie all the time."
Yingji brushed away a strand of wet hair clinging to her cheek. She lowered her eyes and looked at the two figures reflected on the water. She reached out and gently touched the water with her fingertips. Immediately, ripples surrounded the two figures and slowly spread outward.
Yingji laughed, pointed at the waves on the water, and said to Kongfan, "Look, we are wrapped together by the ripples."
She looked at Kong Fan with her eyes that always contained calculations, but now they were only a little childish.
Kong Fan looked into her eyes, wanting to see into them, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it and know what she was thinking.
Yingji and Kongfan looked at each other and she said bluntly, "Because, I want to kiss you."
Kong Fan was stunned. She pretended to be drowning and had a leg cramp, all just to kiss him?
Kong Fan stepped back, shaking his head repeatedly. A soundless "Amitabha" rolled over his tongue.
Yingji chased after him, opening her arms and hugging him. She pressed her wet, naked body tightly against Kongfan's chest. From within his embrace, she looked up at him and said, "After doing something like that, you can still be free from all desires. I can't."
Kong Fan turned his head to look at the calm water surface and the reflections of the distant mountains on the water surface, and no longer looked at Ying Ji.
Yingji continued, "After doing something like that, the boundaries become blurred. Being close to you becomes a habit."
Yingji raised her hand and placed her wet palm on Kongfan's equally wet cheek. She turned Kongfan's face and forced him to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Yingji looked into Kongfan's eyes, emphasizing each word: "Even when the poison is not taking effect, I will miss you, want to kiss you, want to be close to you, want your hot body to enter me, want you to possess me, and I want you to possess me as well."
Kong Fan closed his eyes and silently recited the Heart Sutra.
Yingji held Kongfan's face, lifted her body up and jumped out of the water higher. She let Kongfan's face stick to her arms, lowered her head, and kissed the scars on his head one by one.
A charming smile slowly spread across Yingji's lips. She lowered her voice, which was soft and alluring, "Kongfan, your heart is empty of the four elements, but is your body the same? Does your body really not like me?"
The hand that was holding Kong Fan's cheek slowly moved back and touched his earlobe. Ying Ji gently pinched Kong Fan's earlobe, and the smile on her lips deepened. She lowered her head to Kong Fan's ear and whispered meaningfully: "Kong Fan, your body is starting to get hot. Do you know? Every time, your ears get hot first, and then-"
Yingji's words came to an abrupt halt. She half-opened her mouth, the words still unspoken becoming unutterable. The hand that had been gently pinching Kongfan's earlobe could no longer move. To be more precise, her entire body could no longer move.
A gentle spiritual power enveloped Yingji, then carried her out of the lake and onto the shore.
Kong Fan walked up to the lakeshore and with a flick of his finger, he released the spell that had bound Ying Ji, allowing her to move again.
He turned his head away from Yingji's body dripping into the water and said, "Put on your clothes, and let's go back."
Ying Ji frowned and glared at him, then slowly took out a set of clean clothes from her Qiankun bag with displeasure.
"Hurry up and get dressed, someone is coming." Kong Fan reminded her with his back to her.
Yingji was about to put on her clothes when she suddenly stopped. She smiled softly, walked over to Kongfan, and stuffed the clothes she had just taken out into his arms.
Kong Fan was puzzled, but it was inconvenient for him to look at her, so he looked away and urged her, "Stop messing around and get dressed quickly. They'll be here soon."
Yingji said slowly with a smile in her voice, "I've been in the water for too long and I'm numb from the cold. I can't put on any clothes. Please help me put them on."
Kong Fan suddenly had a headache and urged again: "Yingji, stop it!"
The person was indeed getting closer and closer, so close that even without spiritual power, Yingji could still faintly hear the footsteps. Judging from the sounds, it seemed that there was more than one person.
Yingji sighed softly and said nonchalantly, "I have a beautiful body, but you never look at it. I would like others to see it and hear their praise."
Kong Fan suddenly reached out and quickly put clothes on Ying Ji. Ying Ji cooperated by raising her hands and legs, cooperating with him like a good child.
After Kong Fan had dressed her, Ying Ji walked up to Kong Fan, twisting her underwear and shorts between her fingers, and said with a sweet smile, "How can you dress someone like that? You won't even let me wear your underwear?"
"Put it away." Kong Fan turned around.
Not far away, Ling Jiayan, accompanied by a large group of guards, approached and was stunned to see Ying Ji and Kong Fan standing by the lake. Both of them were wet. Did they... fall into the lake, or did they just finish a couple's bath?
Ling Jiayan turned his gaze back to Kong Fan and shook his head.
No, Master Kongfan is a true Buddhist who is pure and tranquil. How can you insult him with words like "mandarin duck bath"? What a sin!
Ling Jiayan's expression turned serious, and he said, "Someone died tragically up ahead, so I came to take a look around. Master Kongfan, have you seen anyone suspicious?"
Kong Fan was silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "The person who died was Venerable Di Fu."
After a pause, he added, "Killed by Yingji."
Yingji immediately turned her head and stared at Kongfan in disbelief.
Ling Jiayan was also stunned. The man's death was truly horrific. When he rushed over, the body had almost been devoured by the boning crows. If it weren't for the overwhelming power of the talisman array, he wouldn't have come to investigate.
It was actually Venerable Di Fu? A Venerable who was born a thousand years ago?
And it was... Ying Ji who killed her?
Ling Jiayan cast a suspicious gaze upon Ying Ji. How could he not be suspicious? After all, Ying Ji was an ordinary person, without a single spiritual power in her body. With her strength alone, how could she possibly kill Venerable Di Fu?
But...Kong Fan couldn't possibly lie.
Ling Jiayan took a deep breath and forced himself to accept this reality. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
say what?
His mind made him believe it, but emotionally it was hard for him to believe it.
Ying Ji found Ling Jiayan's expression, which kept changing, as if he had eaten a poisonous mushroom, amusing. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Ling Jiayan, asking, "Why, Your Highness, do you think I can't kill that so-called venerable who has a vicious mind, cruel methods, and inability to distinguish right from wrong?"
Ling Jiayan came back to his senses and quickly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant."
Many people witnessed how Venerable Di Fu humiliated Ying Ji in the other palace. Ling Jiayan witnessed it firsthand. Such insults truly amounted to an irreconcilable hatred. It was perfectly natural for Ying Ji to want to kill Venerable Di Fu.
Ling Jiayan pondered further, concluding that it was a talisman array that had strangled Venerable Di Fu. While talisman arrays could indeed be used without spiritual energy, Ling Jiayan, a disciple of Venerable Fu Feng, was well-versed in talismans. After only a preliminary exploration, he confidently determined that the talisman array that had strangled Venerable Di Fu was a Seven-Talisman Killing Array.
This talisman formation... isn't really a powerful formation. It's fine for killing small demons, but for a strong man like Venerable Di Fu...
How did Ying Ji strangle Venerable Di Fu with this not-so-powerful formation?
Was the one who died really Venerable Di Fu?
Or maybe, he was not proficient in the art of talismans and failed to identify the real talisman formation hidden under the Seven Talisman Killing Formation?
Ling Jiayan frowned again, his whole face showing a bitter expression.
Yingji found his expression very funny. She laughed and asked, "Are you really curious about how I did it?"
Ling Jiayan looked at Yingji and nodded subconsciously.
Yingji said with a cheerful smile, "If you accept me as your master, I will teach you!"
Ling Jiayan was stunned, then shook his head repeatedly and explained seriously: "I'm afraid that won't work. I'm a disciple of Venerable Fu Feng, and I can't worship another master."
Ying Ji didn't expect him to take it seriously. Seeing his serious expression, Ying Ji found it even more funny and said, "I was just joking with His Royal Highness, Your Highness. Don't take it seriously."
Ling Jiayan had a hundred questions in his mind, and curiosity was like a cat's paw scratching and scratching in his heart, but he could only suppress all the questions and warn himself not to ask rudely.
Ying Ji yawned softly, looked up at the rising sun, and said, "I've been busy all night and I'm tired and sleepy. I'll treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to a drink next time I have the chance, and then I'll explain my doubts to him."
Ling Jiayan immediately said, "How can we let Yingji invite us? We are guests from afar, so we should be invited by Jiayan."
"Okay. I'll wait then." Yingji agreed readily.
Kong Fan listened quietly to the conversation between the two people, listening to the joy in Ying Ji's tone, and also trying to distinguish the difference in Ying Ji's tone when she was talking to Ling Jiayan and when she was talking to him.
"Then I won't bother you any more and delay your rest." Ling Jiayan said.
Ying Ji nodded, shifting her gaze back from Ling Jiayan, and said to Kong Fan, "Shall we go back?"
Kong Fan nodded to Ling Jiayan and raised his palm, then turned and left with Ying Ji.
Yingji walked out of the woods, one in front, Kongfan behind. The morning sun rose higher and higher, stretching Yingji's shadow until it was gradually stepped on by Kongfan.
Kong Fan moved two steps to the side and stopped stepping on Ying Ji's shadow.
