Chapter 151: Long Life
Jiao Ran's mind suddenly changed, and he had already made up his mind. He pretended to be very arrogant and said, "I am Zhu Su from Miaojing. May I know where you are from?"
He seemed to have noticed that she wanted to escape from Wonderland and said, "Where I come from is not important, but where you are going is more important. Don't get close to the border of Wonderland, retreat quickly!"
Jiaoran had already made up her mind to go out and look for those vague shadows. If she wasn't afraid of death, she wouldn't leave herself room to retreat. But now she also realized that this person was related to Miaojing. If she was really caught on the spot by him, she would definitely be exposed.
Jiaoran made up her mind to subdue the man unexpectedly and force him to tell her the way out of the wonderful world. She always felt that this man knew the way.
So as she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and gathered her spiritual power, "Of course, I'm going back to sleep, but what about you? What are you doing here?"
As soon as she said this, her figure flew up and pounced forward, ready to catch him off guard.
At this time, although the sky was dark, the light from the moon was still enough for people to see things clearly.
Jiaoran's body suddenly pounced forward. In an instant, the opponent's figure flashed and a green light flashed.
Jiaoran was not afraid of him. She summoned a strong wind and in the golden light, her sword, hundreds of sword shadows appeared.
Like a meteor, it burst towards the person in front of him, and the sword shadow covered him!
Both of them acted extremely quickly.
Jiaoran's purpose was to force the man to tell her where the passage was. She had never seen him in the wonderland before, but he appeared here and the tribesmen seemed to have not noticed it at all, which meant that he must know a passage that allowed them to come and go freely.
She suddenly attacked him, not because she wanted to take his life.
So when she found out that the opponent's swordsmanship was not as good as hers, she stopped intensifying her sword moves and prepared to hit him on the back to make him faint.
She didn't even use the tip of her sword, but struck him with the back of the sword, and subdued him with a few moves. His martial arts skills were too poor, which made Jiaoran even more certain that he must have known some secret that allowed him to evade the surveillance of his tribe and come here.
According to her current practice, she is indeed not weak, and the speed of her attack is also worthy of praise. She is considered an exceptionally talented ascender among sword practitioners.
When she knocked him, he fainted.
Ji Feng's body sank, his feet touching the ground, and he transformed into a human form. When he saw it was him, he was shocked for a moment, then looked at Jiao Ran, "You killed him?"
Jiaoran said no, "I just knocked him out."
She opened her five fingers slightly, and with a few bends and stretches, she grasped his shoulders firmly.
Hayate asked, "What?"
Jiao Ran was afraid that Ji Feng would reveal the secret, so he stammered, "I... I thought he was pretty, so I caught him to play with..."
"Catch him... and play with him..." These simple words made Ji Feng read them over and over again but still couldn't understand them. "Do you know who he is? You--" That's all. Her memory had been wiped out by the marrow cleansing, so naturally she couldn't remember.
Ji Feng said, "Don't touch him, let him go."
Jiao Ran said, "That won't work. I fell in love with him first. Could it be that he is also from the Fish and Dragon Wonderland? Is that why you won't let me touch him?"
Ji Feng stretched out his hand and snatched it away, "No, he is not from Wonderland anymore."
"Then he is not. Don't worry about me. Go and do your own thing. Leave him to me."
Ji Feng said no, "You just can't touch him."
"Why, if you can't give me a reason, I won't let you go."
Ji Feng said, "In short, it's not possible. You just happened to knock him out. He was defenseless. If you wait for him to wake up, he won't let you go."
As he spoke, Jiaoran had already tied the man up with the immortal rope, "This way he won't be able to break free even if he wakes up."
Ji Feng looked at the wanton Jiao Ran and felt powerless. "Let him go quickly."
Jiao Ran silently recited the incantation and transformed her into a golden hairpin, inserting it into her hair. "Alright, now you won't make any more noise."
Catching him would have been a matter of seconds. When he woke up, Jiaoran said, "Who are you? Tell me the truth."
He said, "It's the person you like."
Jiaoran then realized that he had not been knocked unconscious at all.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll let you know what evil is." She rubbed her hands together.
Suddenly, she thought of a man who picked her up and put her on a greasy wooden table and said, "Do you know what to say during a robbery?" She was also ready to fight.
It's strange, who taught her this move? It seems like she was taught by someone when she was very young.
Jiao Ran shouted in a deep voice, "You are not from Wonderland. Where did you come from? And how did you get out?"
He laughed dryly a few times, "Why are you going out, where are you going?"
Jiao Ran asked, "What about you? Why are you asking me this?"
"Do you know that people in Wonderland are not allowed to escape, otherwise there will be disasters in the world? You are really brave. If you escape, what are you going to do?"
Seeing his arrogant expression, even more arrogant than he pretended, Jiaoran couldn't help but feel angry. "Of course, if I'm not brave, how could I have dared to subdue you when you were alone?"
After hearing this, he laughed again and said, "Have you always been so arrogant?"
Jiaoran's five fingers were firmly grasping his neck, and her thumb was pressing on his Adam's apple. If she wanted to, his life would be gone in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, he swallowed, his Adam's apple moving slightly, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Jiaoran quickly tightened the ropes, "You..."
He has to suffer first, otherwise he will dare to act so arrogantly.
I'm just afraid that it won't be that easy for me to ask him to tell me the way out of Wonderland.
Jiaoran silently recited the incantation, tightened the rope, and suddenly increased the strength by 30%.
As she applied more force, she was prepared to hear the man begging for mercy.
However, just as she cast a spell to tighten the rope, the man's body broke free from the rope, and even the rope could not hold him.
He is indeed a formidable opponent.
Jiaoran quickly cast a spell to trap him with wind, but it was too late. In an instant, a dark hole opened in his palm, and an extremely strong suction force sucked Jiaoran's wind seal in.
Jiaoran couldn't help but loosen his fingers, and his arm was almost sucked into the black hole.
She was about to escape, but in a panic, her finger bones were already grasped by him, making a "grinding" sound.
Almost broke!
"it hurts!"
When she realized that she had underestimated the enemy and was counterattacked by the enemy, she was horrified and cried out, "Please spare my life, please spare my life..."
Before she had time to be scared for long, the man raised his left hand and let her go.
Jiaoran didn't know that this man was so powerful and much more powerful than those black crows outside the dense forest.
She took a step back in fear to protect herself.
But just when she took a step back, Jiaoran suddenly pulled out the golden hairpin that had transformed from the gust of wind and attacked the opponent unexpectedly, trying to kill him with a surprise attack. However, although her attack was fast, the opponent's movements were not slower than hers.
When a flash of golden light appeared and the golden hairpin thrust forward, he suddenly turned around, stretched out his finger, and caught the gale.
With a sudden bounce, a "ding" sound was heard, and Jiaoran felt a great force coming from the end of the sword-shaped hairpin and hitting her palm.
Her hand went numb, and Jifeng flew out of her hand and disappeared.
Jiaoran was suddenly stunned.
Before she could form another thought, the cold air of the Jade Flute was already approaching, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of her, and she was about to be slapped hard.
Yet at that moment, he simply tapped her face lightly with the flute.
But it was this action that made Jiaoran even more humiliated.
She thought her current cultivation level was not low, but she didn't expect that Ji Feng was also knocked down and she was severely humiliated.
She was about to fight back, but unexpectedly his flute had stopped in mid-air, and a green light hit her eyebrows, causing her forehead to go numb.
But his flute did not touch her skin.
He just stood there motionless and looked at Jiaoran.
After a long while, Jiaoran finally regained his composure and slowly let out a sigh, "What's the big deal?"
He smiled coldly, "It's nothing special. It's just that you can't even beat me. Wanting to escape is just wishful thinking."
When Jiaoran heard him say this, hope returned to him. "Do you know how to get out of here?"
"Isn't it good to stay in a bamboo house?" he suddenly asked her.
Jiaoran thought for a moment and said, "That's great. I also like practicing. But compared to all this, I still have some unfinished business that I need to continue."
"Do you still have enemies to kill and revenge to take?"
Jiao Ran shook his head. "It seems he's not an enemy, but... someone very close to me."
"No." He was more decisive than her.
"Why not? How do you know? Maybe someone is waiting for me outside the Wonderland. This place doesn't belong to me."
"No one is waiting for you. You don't have to worry about it. Practice well. You can ascend directly after building your foundation and forming your elixir. This is rare even among mortals. Don't waste your immortal bones."
Jiao Ran immediately seized the opportunity, "They said I was born in Wonderland, but you said I was a mortal who ascended to heaven. This means I am from the mortal world and not from Wonderland at all."
Seeing that his lies couldn't match up, he began to get angry and said, "You should go back."
Jiao Ran said, "You haven't finished speaking yet, where are you going?"
He turned around and looked at her quietly.
The look in his eyes was as if he had known her for a long time, not as if he was looking at a stranger.
Jiao Ran asked tentatively, "Have we known each other for many years? Can we be considered old friends?"
He thought for a moment and said, "So what?" Then he was about to leave.
Jiaoran smiled bitterly and said, "You are all deceiving me."
He also felt a little uncomfortable, "Isn't it good to become an immortal? What's the point of being a mortal?"
"I've forgotten what it's like to be a mortal. How can I know it's better to be an immortal?"
He thought so, but he said, "Once, when you were still a mortal, you told me that you regretted leaving here and returning to the mortal world. The mortal world was full of betrayal, hurt, and sadness."
Jiao Ran was stunned for a moment, "Did I really say that?"
He said yes, and moved his wrist, and a golden bell appeared in his palm. Jiaoran still didn't understand what he meant.
In a blink of an eye, the golden bell was tied on her wrist.
Jiao Ran was puzzled. "Why are you putting this on me?"
He pointed to the distance, Jiaoran was puzzled and walked to the place he pointed.
The next moment, a jade bell rang on his wrist, and the golden bell on Jiaoran's wrist began to jingle.
The bell rang clearly, and Jiaoran was immediately teleported back after taking a few steps.
"What's this?"
"Footnote Bell."
"How can there be such a thing?"
"Your Immortal Binding Rope is also something I made."
Jiao Ran asked, "Are you a sword cultivator or a weapon cultivator?"
"Neither, Danxiu."
He looked at the golden bell on Jiaoran's wrist and said, "When this bell moves, I can sense you no matter how far away you are."
Jiao Ran was initially surprised to find such a magical artifact, but then he became furious. "Are you afraid I'll escape, so you want to use this to confine me?"
"Your cultivation is still weak. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Once the bell rings, I'll know where you are."
Jiao Ran laughed and said, "You people in the Fish and Dragon Wonderland are all extremely hypocritical, and you are even worse. It's like tying a golden bell to the wing of a flying bird. As soon as the bird wants to fly away, the golden bell will ring loudly, and you can immediately catch me back in the cage."
He smiled softly, "Do you still want to return to the human world?"
Jiaoran was overjoyed, "You want to send me back?"
"There's still some time before the Succession Ceremony. You can return to the mortal world to find that person. Just like what we agreed upon the first time, you will return when that person's life span has ended."
"When did I make a promise with you?"
He thought of her coming back to him soon, and his smile faded, immediately filled with a heavy melancholy. But it was useless to force her to stay, so it would be better to cover it up for her until her worldly love was over.
He couldn't help but sigh, and walked forward silently to hold Jiaoran's hand.
Jiaoran pulled his hand back and said, "What are you doing?"
He said, "I can't just come back and do nothing, right?"
As they spoke, they had already clasped hands.
A feeling that first became warm and then became hot was injected into her palm, and then seeped into her limbs.
"Xiao Jiao'er——"
"Jiao Ran——"
"Aran——"
"Jiao Ran!"
"Jiao Ran, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
"Come on, Jiaoran..."
"No, Jiaoran!"
"Jiaoran, wake up soon."
"It's my fault, Jiaoran—"
"My—little Jiao'er—"
…
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years of memories flashed before her eyes.
Seeing her lost in thought, he slowly withdrew his hand. "Remember, don't do evil. If you want to go back, I will temporarily seal your magic power. Your martial arts skills are still there, enough to deal with the dangers of the martial arts world. Don't take off the golden bell, or your lifespan in the mortal world will be shorter than his. I will give you two lives. If you use them both, you are not allowed to think of escaping again. Come back and be the new master of Wonderland."
Jiao Ran's heart moved. "You came back because you were worried that I would be punished for running away without permission, right? So you want me to go back by water?"
He smiled, hiding the sadness on his face. "Go back. There is indeed someone waiting for you. If you miss him, you may lose your peace of mind every time you think of him during your future training."
"The heart that was exchanged for the Phoenix Chick's heart, was it Senior Sister's or Mu Jin's?" She wanted to know whether the living person was Senior Sister or Mu Jin.
In fact, she didn't want to know the answer immediately, and was even a little afraid, because if she knew the answer, she would be sad for another person she cared about, and she had no choice.
"You'll understand when you return. Go ahead and remember, the people of Wonderland only appear fierce, but mortals are often two-faced and mean-spirited. There are far more bad mortals than good ones. Just remember this and don't trust anyone easily."
Jiaoran waved his hands indifferently, "Alright, alright, you haven't been a mortal for even a single day, but I've been a mortal for over twenty years. I'm more experienced than you."
I couldn't help but ask, "Will the person who survives the heart swap live a hundred years?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Are you going back?"
