Chapter 25025 Soft Lips
Chapter 25
When Yingji's light voice reached his ears, Kongfan lowered his head and stopped, not moving forward.
Yingji withdrew her distant gaze and her eyes fell on Kou Yuze's hands that were tightly holding hers.
Treating different people requires knowing when to act differently. Yingji didn't think Kongfan would stop her if she chose to go with Kou Yuze now.
Kong Fan was like a sweet, hard bone. Ying Ji wasn't very sure about him now.
Ying Ji twisted her wrist slightly, slowly pushing Kou Yuze's hand away. She smiled and shook her head at him, saying, "The most important thing right now is to help Ling Yu repair the Soul-Exterminating Well and find the cause of its unusual movements. Your Majesty, please focus on your important tasks."
She smiled gently: "I'm the same wherever I am."
Kou Yuze was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure. This was Lingyu Nation's territory. He had come here for the matter of the Soul-Exterminating Well, so he really shouldn't have caused any trouble.
But is Yingji something else?
He said sternly, "Aying, don't worry. It won't be long before I take you back to my side. Kong Fan is a kind-hearted man. I won't argue with him. I'll talk to him and take you back openly."
"Wait for me!" Kou Yuze looked at Ying Ji seriously, then turned and left.
Yingji was stunned.
She looked up, but Kong Fan had long since disappeared from the distance. Thinking about what Kou Yuze had just said, Yingji's brow furrowed. She wondered, if Kou Yuze really came to Kong Fan and sincerely asked for him, would he give him the gift?
Yingji felt a little depressed and suddenly lacked confidence.
Maybe. Kong Fan would, right? He was always so indifferent. Whether she stayed or left, he probably wouldn't care.
Yingji shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She checked the talisman, left the palace, and went to look for the dead demon.
Lingyu Country is full of people rushing around. These people come from all over the country, and each of them has unique skills.
Yingji didn't want to deal with other monster hunters, so she walked a long way to a remote place.
She gently swung the silver bell on her wrist, carefully searching for traces of demons. This silver bell was sensitive to demons, but weak to dead demons.
Yingji searched for a long time, and suddenly the sensation from the silver bell became stronger. She was delighted and quickened her pace.
She climbed to the top of a mountain and finally saw a wounded monster behind a bush.
“It’s actually alive?”
No wonder Yin Ling’s perception was so strong. It turned out that it was not a dead demon, but a living demon.
Yingji looked at the big monster carefully.
It was huge, lying on half of the hill, with six green eyes on its three heads, staring at Yingji vigilantly.
All twelve claws have sharp nails, and the skin all over the body is as hard as if covered with a layer of hard armor.
In the past, Ying Ji only dared to subdue some small demons. Now that she has mastered some talismans, and this big demon has been injured, she can't help but feel greedy.
As long as she was careful, even if she failed, she could still use the Shifting Orb to escape...
Thinking of this, Ying Ji no longer hesitated. She took out the Demon-Locking Lamp, lit it, and then carefully placed it on the ground.
Seeing the faint blue light in the demon-locking lamp, the six eyes of the extremely ugly demon glowed red at the same time. Its three huge mouths opened at the same time, and it roared to the sky, making bursts of loud thunder.
The twelve enormous claws slammed the ground hard, the demon-locking lamp swayed, and the light flickered. Yingji could barely stand. She took three steps back, but still couldn't stand, and fell to the ground. Sharp rocks on the mountain had cut her hands, but she was completely unaware.
She quickly propped herself up and stood up, staring at the mad monster. She didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately took out the four talismans she had written in advance and threw them at the monster.
A emerald green light flickered on the talisman paper, closing in on all sides of the demon. An invisible net descended from the sky, entrapping the demon.
The big demon kept howling to the sky, or slapping the ground again and again, but it never got up until the talisman net trapped it.
Ying Ji breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed that the big monster was seriously injured, and she was lucky to have found an escape!
Yingji picked up the demon-locking lamp from the ground and walked towards the demon. She had only taken two or three steps when she heard a subtle crisp sound. She looked towards the four talismans warily and was surprised to see that one of them had shifted and was trembling slightly.
Oh no! This talisman is about to be destroyed!
Ying Ji quickly took two steps back, hurriedly took out the spirit-collecting pen and talisman paper from the Qiankun bag, quickly wrote another talisman, and threw it at the talisman paper that was about to be destroyed, replacing it.
The talisman net slowly stabilized.
The demon was beneath the talisman net, gasping for air, its three mouths breathing one breath after another. In just a moment, the whole world was not only filled with hot steam, but also with the fishy stench of the demon's mouth. The smell was nauseating.
The three mouths of the monster suddenly closed at the same time, and then opened at the same time the next moment, fiercely spewing out raging flames.
Ying Ji was shocked and quickly retreated, watching her talisman paper being gradually burned in the flames.
Is it not working? What went wrong?
In a flash, Ying Ji gritted her teeth, took out the spirit-collecting pen, and rewrote the talisman! This time, she changed a few strokes.
"Spell Volume 17" wasn't written like that, but she suddenly felt like it should be changed like this! She had never tried it before, but at this critical moment, she felt a strong desire to change it!
She threw out four newly written talismans. The demon scoffed at the descending talisman net until it covered it. A shiver of icy air pressed down on it, and the demon's body tensed for a moment before roaring wildly.
Seeing that the modified spell was really effective, Yingji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't have time to be happy, and immediately continued writing talismans. According to what she learned in the scroll, she wrote a calming talisman and threw it at the big demon.
The big demon continued to roar and struggle, with no intention of stopping.
Yingji was anxious and wrote two more quiet talismans and threw them over.
The big demon continued to roar angrily towards the sky for a while, and the sound gradually became smaller. With a loud "bang", the three heads of the big demon that were facing up to the sky drooped down at the same time and hit the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Yingji was suddenly filled with joy! She quickly picked up the fallen Demon-Locking Cup and wanted to put the big demon into it.
"Indeed, although his talisman skills are immature, he knows how to adapt them. He is a good candidate to learn talisman skills."
Yingji's steps froze, her heart tightened, and she looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
Two young and handsome men came from a distance, strolling leisurely, and no one knew how long they had been hiding there and watching.
Ying Ji glanced at the two of them and immediately recognized Ling Yu Kingdom's Crown Prince Ling Jiayan. However, Ying Ji had never seen the other young man before, and it seemed that he was the one who had just spoken.
Seeing Ling Jiayan, Ying Ji's nervousness eased slightly. She smiled at Ling Jiayan and said, "I heard everyone is catching dead demons these days, and I wanted to do something about it. I didn't expect to encounter a live one today. It's great to meet His Royal Highness. I'll leave the rest to His Highness."
Ying Ji spoke softly, her heart aching with heartache! She had worked so hard to capture the great demon, and had wasted so much of her spiritual energy in the Spirit Pen, and now she had to give it away! But there was no other way. If she didn't confiscate it, she really couldn't explain to others why she had hidden the demon.
Ling Jiayan said gratefully, "You've rushed here just today just to catch the monster. You've been really hardworking."
"It's not hard." Yingji could only grit her teeth and maintain an elegant smile.
Ling Jiayan then introduced the man beside him to Ying Ji. "This is my master, Venerable Fu Feng."
Ying Ji looked at Venerable Fu Feng with a hint of surprise. Judging from their appearance, Venerable Fu Feng and Ling Jiayan looked about the same age. Who would have thought he was at least a thousand years old? However, it wasn't difficult for spiritual cultivators to maintain eternal youth.
Yingji had heard of Master Fufeng's name and knew he was a very powerful talisman master. No wonder he had just commented on her talisman.
However, Yingji just smiled at him politely and looked away.
——It’s none of her business whether he’s powerful or not.
She watched Ling Jiayan take away the big monster, and her heart was bleeding.
Venerable Fu Feng looked at Ying Ji, then glanced at the talisman paper that was blown to his feet by the wind, as if thinking about something.
Ling Jiayan put away the big monster and said to Yingji, "Yingji, if you have nothing else to do, come back with us. It's getting dark, and there are more monsters at night."
He could see that Yingji had no spiritual power, so for her safety, he made a subtle suggestion.
Ying Ji nodded and smiled sweetly, "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Venerable Fu Feng accompanying me, I feel much more at ease!"

After Kong Fan left the Soul-Exterminating Well and returned to the other palace, he glanced at the palm of his hand. He could feel a slight pain, not too severe, so it should be nothing serious.
How did she hurt herself?
Kong Fan returned to the annex palace and saw Ying Ji in front of the palace gate. The evening breeze ruffled her hair. She tucked it behind her ear and spoke to Ling Jiayan with a smile on her face.
Wudao said, "Oh!" from the side, "What a talented man and beautiful woman."
Kong Fan turned and looked at him.
Wudao chuckled and said, "I'll go find some information first and send it to the library for you later."
"Thank you, uncle." Kong Fan said goodbye to Wudao and when he looked back, Ling Jiayan was no longer there.
Yingji stood at the gate of the other palace, beneath the swaying palace lanterns, smiling at him. The evening breeze blew her red gauze skirt, creating layers of soft waves.
Kong Fan walked towards her, glanced at her hand calmly, and said, "I'm going to the library to find some records about the Soul-Exterminating Well of Lingyu Country."
"Can I go with you?" Ying Ji asked, "I'm also curious about the Soul-Exterminating Well."
Kong Fan never refuses Ying Ji's reasonable requests.
Even though she made excessive requests, he seemed to have never refused.
This library was just a small one in the other palace, not very large. A palace attendant led the way, bringing Kong Fan and Ying Ji to the bookshelves containing materials related to the Soul-Exterminating Well.
"They are all on this bookshelf. If you need anything, you can go downstairs to find me."
"Thank you."
The palace maid bowed and Kong Fan returned the greeting.
Kong Fan turned around and picked up a book from the bookshelf to look through it. There was a long table not far away where he could read, but Kong Fan did not go over to it. He was used to standing in front of the bookshelf and reading.
Yingji looked at his tall, graceful figure, examining him from head to toe. She didn't know if Kou Yuze had contacted Kong Fan, nor did she know how to ask.
She walked towards Kong Fan and gently pulled the corner of his monk's sleeve.
Kong Fan shifted his gaze from the pages of the book and lowered his eyes to look at her hand, watching her hand grasp his sleeve and move it up little by little until it grasped his wrist.
Yingji pried Kongfan's hand apart and put her wrist into his palm.
Kong Fan then felt the toxins slowly building up in her body, the toxins from the Hehuan Yueqing Water. It wasn't strong, but it was indeed increasing.
As if to prove her innocence, Yingji took Kongfan's hand and placed his hand on her waist.
She loosened her grip, and Kong Fan's palm immediately slipped away.
Yingji looked at Kongfan aggrievedly and whispered, "Are you still not going to hug me?"
She threw herself into Kong Fan's arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in a choked voice: "I feel uncomfortable..."
Kong Fan didn't move, but he didn't push her away either.
Yingji slowly raised her eyes from his embrace, carefully examining his compassionate face from a close distance. She reached out, gently caressing Kongfan's cheek with her palm. He was like a flawless jade, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Maybe it was the effect of the medicine again. Ying Ji climbed up Kong Fan's neck, leaned over to kiss his protruding Adam's apple, and then slowly kissed up until her soft lips covered his lips, slowly savoring this beautiful jade.
Wudao said as he went upstairs, "I only found a few books, and I don't know if they're any use!"
Kong Fan froze slightly and was about to speak, but Ying Ji filled his lips and teeth.
