Chapter 29
"Are you in danger?"
These words were like a stone dropped into the lake of Yingji's heart, sending ripples through it. She stared at Kongfan's concerned gaze, the blood stain on his lips that she hadn't yet wiped away, her expression shifting again and again, unable to accurately describe her feelings at that moment.
Kong Fan looked at Ying Ji's expression, and then found that the barrier he had cast showed no signs of being broken, and he felt relieved.
He sighed softly, wiped the blood from his lips, looked at Yingji helplessly, and said softly, "Go and have fun by yourself. Try not to disturb me unless it's important. Just wait for me for a few more days."
The unwiped blood on his lips was glaring in Yingji's eyes. She looked away, nodded hastily, and hurriedly stood up, walking out as if fleeing. She reached the door, placed her hand on it, and without turning back, whispered, "I'm sorry..."
Kong Fan didn't answer. He had already closed his eyes and entered into meditation again, resuming his meditation practice.
Yingji turned around and looked at him in confusion.
She stood at the door, looking at Kong Fan quietly for a long time, and suddenly she understood what the inexplicable emotion in her heart was.
It's guilt.
Yingji suddenly realized, then was stunned again.
Guilt?
How could someone as selfish as her feel guilty one day?
She glanced at Kong Fan again, stepped out of the door, and closed it behind her. She closed the door gently, not wanting to disturb Kong Fan.
Because of Yingji's unintentional sabotage, Kongfan's retreat this time will be three days later than originally planned.
The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars blink again and again, adding some interest to the monotonous night sky painted with ink.
Kong Fan opened his eyes and slowly let out a breath. He had stabilized the chaotic spiritual energy within his body, achieving the balance he desired. Unfortunately, the lost spiritual energy wouldn't be replenished in a few days. He had sensed the signs of an impending breakthrough, but after this loss of spiritual energy, those signs had completely vanished.
Kong Fan couldn't help but frown.
He is not a competitive person, and he has never thought of forcing anything. He also does not seek to be the best in spiritual attainments. However, he is placed with high hopes, carries a heavy burden on his shoulders, and has a responsibility that he cannot abandon throughout his life.
The night wind blew the window open with a creak, and the cool night wind blew in, brushing Kong Fan's cheek.
The next moment, Yingji appeared at the window. She had come to close the window, but she saw that Kongfan had already finished his retreat.
She paused in closing the window and asked in surprise, "Are you awake?"
Kong Fan raised his eyes and looked at Ying Ji standing outside the window in the moonlight, smiling and nodding slightly.
Yingji breathed a sigh of relief.
Kong Fan had unexpectedly extended his retreat by three days beyond the originally agreed seven, and Ying Ji had been feeling uneasy. Now that she saw him awake, she finally felt relieved.
Ying Ji said, "It's your turn to repair the Soul-Extinguishing Well tomorrow. This evening, the guards from Lingyu Kingdom came to ask about you. I didn't know if you could wake up, so I didn't agree rashly."
"I understand." Kong Fan immediately sent a message to Ling Jiayan, telling him that he could go there on time tomorrow.
After transmitting the message, Kong Fan looked at Ying Ji, but he was thinking about something else.
——After repairing the Soul-Destroying Well tomorrow, he will look for the vile person who made the Love Water of the Moon and find the antidote for this vile thing.
He couldn't ignore the poison in Yingji's body, nor could he lose his spiritual power again and again.
He doesn't have much time left, so he must seize the time to break through so that he can be more confident in completing the task of tearing the sky apart.
"You're very tired from practicing for days. You should rest early." Ying Ji helped Kong Fan close the window.
Hearing Yingji's footsteps as she walked away, Kong Fan looked up at the closed window in surprise.
How could she have come over and closed the window the moment it was blown open by the wind? She had been in the yard the whole time?
Kong Fan walked to the window and opened it.
The moonlight poured into the courtyard. In the small yard, various herbs, bottles and jars, and several pots were placed.
What has she been doing these days?
Kong Fan glanced over and saw a fallen stone bench. Kong Fan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he had forgotten to help her repair the mess left after the fight before he went into seclusion.
She had cleaned up all the broken things in the courtyard, but the stone bench must have been too heavy for her to lift.
Kong Fan raised his hand and pointed in the air. The cracks in the heavy stone bench slowly healed, and then it floated up lightly and landed steadily again.
What about her room?
Kong Fan saw that the lights in Yingji's room were off, so he thought she had gone to bed. He used his spiritual sense to quietly explore her room to see if there was anything that needed repairing.
The room was dim with the lights off. Kong Fan could see clearly after a while. He saw that her room had been cleaned up long ago. Although there were many things piled up, they were in good order. There was no sign of a fight.
Kong Fan shifted his gaze again and suddenly saw Ying Ji sitting by the bed, undressing. She took off her undergarment and put it aside, then reached for another clean new dress folded beside her.
The swaying whiteness caught his eye, seemingly overlapping the whiteness that had been glued to him during the previous chaos. Kong Fan froze for a moment, then awkwardly took a half step back and quickly withdrew his consciousness.
"Amitabha..." He lowered his eyebrows and shook his head slightly in annoyance.
·
The next morning, Kong Fan smelled the sticky aroma of medicine before he woke up, accompanied by a hint of rice fragrance.
In the courtyard, Yingji was making all sorts of subtle noises. She was already very quiet, but Kongfan was listening intently, and any small sound could be detected by him.
Kong Fan kept his eyes closed until it was time to get up. He walked out of the room and saw Ying Ji sitting on the stone bench he had repaired the night before, holding a bowl of steaming noodles in her hands.
In the pot next to her, something messy was cooking.
Yingji raised her eyes to look at Kongfan and asked, "Would you like to have a bowl of plain noodles before leaving?"
She smiled and added, "Summary."
The hot steam from the Yangchun noodles was rising, and the lingering hot steam was floating in front of her beautiful face, with a very homely feel.
Kong Fan no longer needed to eat, but after seeing her smiling face after seeing the heat, he nodded.
Yingji smiled even brighter. She put down the bowl of noodles in her hand and filled a bowl for Kongfan from a small pot behind her.
Kong Fan moved a stone bench from a distance, sat down in front of Ying Ji, and took the noodles she handed to him.
Yingji watched him take a bite before she said, "I'm not very knowledgeable in cooking, so just cook it. It won't taste bad, will it?"
"Very good." Kong Fan lowered his head and ate silently.
Yingji stopped talking and continued to eat the remaining half bowl of noodles. In such a chilly morning, eating a bowl of steaming hot noodles warmed Yingji's whole body and made her feel very comfortable.
She wanted to share the satisfaction of this bowl of noodles with Kong Fan, but suddenly she thought that Kong Fan didn't need to eat, and he wouldn't have the same feeling of contentment as she did about this bowl of hot noodles.
The comfort in her body and the satisfaction in her heart seemed to be dampened a lot. Yingji didn't say anything in a lack of interest and continued to eat noodles in silence.
"What are you cooking?" Kong Fan looked at the pot next to Ying Ji.
Steam bubbling from the hot pot, the sticky brown medicine inside wafted a rather unpleasant odor. Kong Fan could faintly see insect-like creatures occasionally floating up from the medicine.
"Some things I plan to sell for money." Yingji said casually.
Kong Fan hesitated for a moment, swallowed his words, and didn't ask any more questions. He put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said, "I'll be right there. Di Fu might bother you again soon, so don't leave here."
Yingji nodded and asked, "When you come back, can you accompany me to the market?"
She pointed to what was cooking in the pot and said, "I'm going to sell it for money."
She also knew that if she went out alone, she would probably meet Venerable Di Fu again, so she wanted Kong Fan to accompany her.
Kong Fan nodded in agreement, took another look at the various insects rolling in the pot, and then turned his gaze towards the Soul-Destroying Well.
Yingji had been refining quite a few poisons these past few days. Several pots were still simmering in the house, brewing several kinds of poisons simultaneously. Today was particularly busy, and she was busy almost the entire day, without a single moment's rest.
Yingji was a little anxious and couldn't wait to get rid of Venerable Di Fu. She wanted to get these things ready before Kong Fan came back.
In the afternoon, Yingji finally finished refining most of the poison and stored it in the bottle. The last three medicinal decoctions were still simmering. She stood up, glanced toward the courtyard gate, walked into the room, and closed the door.
She sat down at the square table filled with various things, carefully took the wooden box out of the Qiankun bag, and then took out a small jade coffin from it.
She couldn't remember what kind of demon was locked in the jade coffin, she just picked it randomly.
Finally, she placed the tattered ancient banned books on the table.
Because she was unable to complete the nine items for refining the demon, she was prepared for failure, but she also tried her best.
The entire afternoon passed in silence, and Yingji's demon refining efforts ended in failure. She picked up the broken jade coffin, sighed, and threw it into the fire, burning it.
Ying Ji looked at the ancient book on the table and thought that she still needed to gather the nine items needed to refine the demon as soon as possible. However, she guessed from the obscure words in the book that even if she didn't gather all the nine items, she could still refine the demon.
She needs to try again.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window paper, and Yingji suddenly realized that Kong Fan was about to come back. She hurriedly put away all the items for refining monsters, and then busily packed up various things to sell at the market.
When Kong Fan came back, he saw Ying Ji, who was busy flying in the courtyard.
Kong Fan suddenly turned his head to look at Kou Yuze beside him.
This time, Kou Yuze was still in the same group with Kong Fan to repair the Soul-Destroying Well. When Kong Fan came back, Kou Yuze took the initiative to ask to visit Ying Ji.
Kong Fan had no reason to refuse.
"Aying!"
Yingji raised her eyes and looked at Kong Fan and Kou Yuze who were walking together, and smiled.
Kou Yuze quickly ran to Yingji and asked, "What are you busy with?"
Whenever he saw Yingji, Kou Yuze couldn't suppress the smile at all and always had a bright smile.
"Just killing time." Yingji said.
Kou Yuze said, "I haven't come to see you these past few days, worried that it will affect your recovery and rest. This is for you."
Kou Yuze took out box after box and piled them on the stone table.
"What are they?" Yingji asked.
"I will pick a gift for you every day. In ten days, there will be exactly ten gifts. There will always be one you like!" Kou Yuze smiled and opened the brocade boxes one by one as if presenting treasures, and introduced them to Yingji one by one.
Yingji smiled softly, sometimes showing a look of surprise, and sometimes shaking her head repeatedly, saying that the item was too valuable and she couldn't accept it...
Kong Fan listened to their conversation, passed by them, and walked into the room.
As he stepped through the threshold, Kong Fan realized he had entered Yingji's room. Hesitantly, he didn't retreat, but instead looked at the bottles and jars on Yingji's desk.
Yingji told Kou Yuze to wait for her outside and she wanted to go back to the house to get the gift for him.
She entered the house, glanced at Kong Fan, and rummaged through her Qiankun bag to see if there was anything worthless she could give to Kou Yuze.
"What is this?" Kong Fan suddenly asked.
Ying Ji looked over and saw that it was the ten spirit-collecting pens she had placed on the table. However, they were all used up and had no use. She said casually, "Spirit-collecting pens are used for drawing talismans."
After saying that, she continued to search in the Qiankun bag.
Ying Ji found a jade pendant worn by a man from her Qiankun bag. She couldn't remember how she got it, but after thinking about it, she realized that Kou Yuze wouldn't give her a man's jade pendant. If it wasn't given to her by him, then it was fine to give it to him!
Just as Ying Ji was about to go out, she glanced around and saw the spirit-gathering pen in Kong Fan's hand glowing with golden light.
"What...are you doing?" Ying Ji was stunned.
Kong Fan put down the spirit-gathering pen filled with spiritual power, picked up another one and slowly injected spiritual power into it.
