Chapter 63 Greed
Chapter 63
The scene he had witnessed that day suddenly flashed before Kou Yuze's eyes, and unbearable anger immediately surged into his heart. He stared at Kong Fan, his hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenching into fists, unable to control his anger.
Kong Fan was the first to withdraw his gaze. He looked at Ying Ji, about to say something, but swallowed his words back and walked towards his room.
Jianfeng watched the scene with great interest, winking at Yingji, wanting to see how she would handle it. His eagerness to watch the fun was self-evident.
Kou Yuze frowned at Yingji and said, "I thought you were seeing someone else again, but I didn't expect you were with that two-faced Hua Heshang."
The "others" he was referring to were naturally Jianfeng who was watching the show on the side.
Jianfeng hadn't expected to be dragged into this. He watched the fun and didn't mind getting involved. He smirked and said, "Who said it can only be two people? Can't we just play with three?"
Kou Yuze was stunned. "You!" He pointed at Jianfeng, furious.
Jian Feng smiled playfully and said deliberately, "Three people is just right, without you."
Bajiao looked at Jianfeng innocently, and curiously asked, "What do you mean by three people playing together? Don't I have one too? Why don't you take me with you?"
Jian Feng laughed heartily, thinking that he should not teach a child bad things, and said with a smile: "I'll take you out to play when you grow up."
As Jianfeng finished speaking, a powerful spiritual attack came towards him. Jianfeng's smile instantly faded, and he swiftly dodged to the side, not forgetting to pull Bajiao aside as he did so.
He stood firm, put away all his playful smiles, and looked at Kou Yuze with hostility.
Yingji's mind was a little confused. She had been gazing at the Liyan Water in her hand, her mind wandering. Things were happening so fast. Besides, her mortal body wasn't as quick as theirs. She frowned and looked over, displeased with Kou Yuze's attack. But she turned to Jianfeng, "Be quiet and keep quiet!"
Jian Feng's eyes were filled with coldness. He looked back at Ying Ji, suddenly smiled brilliantly, and shrugged at Kou Yuze, boasting, "Look, Ying scolds me but not you. She treats me like one of her own, and you like an outsider."
Jian Feng's words really angered Kou Yuze again, and Kou Yuze immediately attacked him again. This time Jian Feng was well prepared and dodged lightly.
Seeing the two men chasing and hiding from each other and fighting out of the yard, Yingji was speechless and didn't want to pay any attention to them. She told Bajiao to stay away and not get hurt, and then pushed open Kongfan's door.
Kong Fan was sitting on the ground, healing his wounds.
A black mist surrounded him, and he frowned in the mist.
Knowing that his previous training wasn't like this, Yingji quickly ran over and squatted before him. She wanted to ask him how he was doing, but she didn't dare to speak easily, fearing that she would disturb his healing. She could only helplessly stay by his side.
Kong Fan suddenly turned his face away and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yingji's face suddenly changed and she hurriedly supported him.
His long eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, still looking down.
"What's wrong? What happened? Why are you vomiting blood?" Ying Ji asked.
"Nothing." Kong Fan said casually, "It's just that my spiritual power almost went haywire."
Yingji was shocked: "How could it be?"
He hadn't learned any new skills, and he had been practicing this set of spiritual techniques for hundreds of years. How could something go wrong suddenly?
Kong Fan then turned around, raised his eyes, and looked at Ying Ji with a complicated expression. "How can I calm down while I listen to two men fighting for you outside?"
Yingji looked into Kongfan's eyes, slowly curved her lips, and asked softly, "Can't your Buddha help you calm your mind?"
Kong Fan pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the Buddhist beads in his palm.
Yingji tilted her body from squatting to kneeling. She leaned forward, hooked her slender arms around Kongfan's neck, and leaned her soft body against it. She gradually moved closer and placed a light kiss on Kongfan's lips.
She stepped back a little, almost touching the corner of his lips, and whispered, "Will this help you calm down?"
Kong Fan's brows were still furrowed. Just as he was about to speak, Ying Ji placed her hand on his lips and spoke softly, "Can their nonsense and nonsense disturb your heart? This shouldn't be the case."
It's not them who disturbs me, it's you.
Her slender fingers felt itchy, so Kong Fan raised his hand to remove her hand. However, he forgot to let go and just held Ying Ji's hand in his palm.
Yingji looked at Kongfan's expression. She didn't like the fact that there was so much confusion in his clear eyes.
She pulled Kong Fan's hand, spread out his slightly curled long fingers, and then pulled his hand and placed it against her heart.
"Feel around and see if there's anyone else there?" Yingji's tone was gentle. There was a hint of coaxing in her gentleness. She said, "As long as you don't get upset, I'll kill Kou Yuze and won't go with Jianfeng anymore."
Kong Fan looked at Ying Ji in surprise.
There was a serious look in Yingji's charming eyes.
"You..." Kong Fan suddenly lost his voice, not knowing what to say. But disapproval was already filling his eyes.
Yingji smiled sweetly: "Really, I didn't lie to you."
Kong Fan let out a long sigh and said disapprovingly, "Yingji, don't kill people indiscriminately. Kou Yuze treats you very well. You have no reason to kill him."
"He made you unhappy and caused your spiritual power to become disordered during cultivation. That's a reason to kill him." Ying Ji said with a smile in her tone, but she was serious underneath the smile.
Kong Fan shook his head again: "You shouldn't do this, this is wrong."
"Okay, okay." Yingji compromised, "I understand. I violated your commandment against killing. I won't kill him."
Kong Fan stared at Ying Ji's expression and was still a little doubtful. Ying Ji was really good at lying, so Kong Fan always had to figure out whether she was telling the truth or not.
Yingji saw his distrust and said gloomily, "If you don't believe me, can I swear an oath?"
"No need," Kong Fan said hurriedly. He didn't need her to swear, nor did he want her to swear. There were many gods in this world, and he would rather she lie than take an oath.
"As for Jianfeng," Kong Fan said, "since you promised to take him across the Ghost Market, you must keep your word."
"What a good man." Yingji muttered.
She simply couldn't understand Kong Fan. He had too many principles and was too kind and compassionate.
Ying Ji lamented that such a person must have amazing talent and strong enough strength, otherwise he would definitely suffer.
Yingji smiled again, thinking why should she worry about a gifted child like him? He had the capital to take responsibility for his kindness, and there was no need for him to follow her selfish path.
She and he were completely different people.
Kong Fan said hesitantly, "You go out first."
"What? Can I disturb you while you are practicing and healing here?" Ying Ji was not very happy. In the past, Kong Fan was allowed to practice beside her.
Kong Fan looked troubled. After a long pause, he stammered, "I, I want to take off my clothes."
A soft smile appeared on Yingji's lips.
"Okay, I'll help you." Yingji reached out to help. "Are you shy? It's not like I don't..."
Yingji's words stopped abruptly.
Kong Fan wanted to stop it but it was too late.
Ying Ji stared blankly at the body beneath Kong Fan's monk robes. She had always liked his jade-like body, but now it was covered in scars, with countless spiritual wounds, scratches from unknown sharp weapons, and the most primitive claw marks.
She didn't dare to think about how he had won it back so easily. She frowned and looked up at Kong Fan, asking, "Kong Fan, do you know what I want the Liyan Water for?"
Kong Fan shook his head. His gentle gaze met hers. He looked at Ying Ji quietly, waiting for her answer.
But Yingji couldn't tell him.
He is the guardian of order and will never allow her to refine monsters and cause the undead to run rampant and the lives of the people to suffer.
Ying Ji sighed softly and murmured, "You will regret helping me like this..."
She collected her thoughts and helped Kong Fan take off his monk's robes. Then she leaned over and hugged him, rubbing her cheek against his. "I'll wait for you outside."
She knew about Kong Fan's training and healing, but she couldn't help much.
She took out a soul-nourishing pill she had made from her Qiankun bag and stuffed it into Kong Fan's mouth, then stood up and left, allowing him to practice in peace.
In the yard, Basho was sitting under a tree, taking a nap with his head drooped.
Yingji walked over, woke her up, and asked her if she had seen Kou Yuze and Jianfeng.
"They haven't come back yet."
Yingji nodded and told Bajiao to guard outside the courtyard gate and tell her immediately if he saw either of them coming back from afar.
——She would not let the two of them quarrel and disturb Kong Fan again.
Yingji returned to her room and retrieved the Liyan Water that Kongfan had brought back. She uncorked the jade gourd, and a thick, bloody odor instantly filled the air.
When she smelled this odor, the first thought that came to Yingji's mind was that Kongfan must be very unhappy to smell this bloody smell.
Yingji was amused by her own subconscious thoughts.
She stared at the Beautiful Flame Water in her hand for a long time, then put the cork back in and solemnly placed the Beautiful Flame Water on the table. She then took out a few other items from her Qiankun bag.
The seven items needed for demon refining were placed on the table. It seemed as if she had been summoned by something. Even though she had no spiritual power, she could still faintly feel the collision of evil spirits.
Greed gradually emerged from Yingji's heart. The desire for power had always been entrenched in her heart, day and night, and never dissipated.
She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the strong evil spirit.
After a long moment, Yingji opened her eyes and looked at the seven items on the table that she had painstakingly obtained. At this point, of the nine items required for demon refining, only two remained in her possession.
One was the Poison Spider Fruit, and the other was the Bodhi Pill. She had consulted ancient texts and asked many elders, but could not find out what the Bodhi Pill was. So the Poison Spider Fruit was her next target.
While Ying Ji was thinking about how to get the poisonous spider fruit, she carefully put these things into the Qiankun bag.
Suddenly, there were some chaotic footsteps outside the door.
When Yingji put the last thing into the Qiankun bag, Kongfan forgot to even knock on the door and just walked in directly.
His face looked bad and his tone was urgent: "Go!"
Go? Where to?
Yingji didn't understand why he suddenly said that, but she instinctively stood up and walked out obediently.
She hurried out with Kong Fan and called out to Bajiao, who was squatting at the gate counting ants: "Bajiao, we're leaving."
Basho ran towards Yingji.
Kong Fan turned around and waved his hand, and the small courtyard of Puja Temple that he had transformed shook and gradually disappeared.
Not far away, Jianfeng was rushing towards this side.
With a smile on his face, he said excitedly, "I tricked that fool into running around in circles. He ended up in the wolf den and was surrounded by a pack of wolves. Hahahaha..."
Kong Fan grabbed Jian Feng's wrist and said, "Jian Feng, take them both and leave quickly."
Jianfeng stopped laughing and looked at Kongfan's solemn expression in surprise.
Yingji also raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You won't go with us?"
Kong Fan turned his gaze towards him, the solemnity in his eyes slightly dissipated, and he said softly, "You go first. I'll come find you."
Yingji stared into Kongfan's eyes and asked, "Are you from the wolf tribe?"
"No. It has nothing to do with the Wolf Tribe, nor with the Liyan Water." Kong Fan explained, "He came to find me."
He smiled with his usual gentle expression.
Yingji stared at him, without saying a word or moving.
Yingji Fanqu could not feel it, but Jianfeng had already sensed a strong danger approaching.
They are venerable ones, and there is more than one.
His eyes flashed, and then he said to Yingji in a relaxed tone, "Why don't you leave quickly? Do you want to stay here and hinder the abbot?"
Yingji raised her eyebrows and glared at Jianfeng.
Jian Feng shrugged: "Honest advice hurts the ear. If you don't like hearing the truth from me, then I won't tell you."
Yingji has never been an impulsive person, and she is even a selfish person.
"We'll wait for you in front of the ghost market," she said.
"Okay." Kong Fan smiled and watched Ying Ji leave.
He turned around, and the red robe fell silently and landed on his shoulders.
