Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Snake Punishment
The strong wind blew across her cheeks, causing her skin to hurt, but Mingyueyi had no time to care.
She carried the woman's unconscious body on her shoulders and ran wildly in the forest in horror, her mind filled with the scene she had seen not long ago.
The man's head was smashed and he turned into a snake, and the snake ate snakes.
This time it was definitely not her illusion, Pu Yuemin was not a human, no, or he was not Pu Yuemin.
She doesn't know.
Ming Yueyi did not return to the cave, but took Xia Niang's body to another place and placed it on a stone. His turbulent heart could not calm down for a long time.
Until Xia Niang opened her eyes and touched her face in horror.
Complete body.
Fortunately, she was cautious and only sent one clone in, otherwise she would have disappeared from the world by now.
She never expected that the monster Lord Zhu Yan was looking for was such a terrifying monster that would eat its own kind alive if it disagreed with something.
After making sure that her body was intact, Xia Niang realized that she was no longer in her hiding place, but was sitting next to a woman whom she had only met once.
Perhaps it is because under the moonlight at night, it is easy for what the naked eye sees to become strange.
The woman was sitting on a rock, with a long iron chain wrapped around her neck and arms. Her chestnut-black pupils beneath her thin eyelids were indescribably deep, giving her pretty face an eerie, gloomy look.
He is somewhat similar to the boy I just met.
If Xia Niang had not remembered that the woman in front of her was He Wujiu's junior sister named Mingyueyi, and that demons were identified by smell, not appearance, she would have almost thought that Pu Yuemin had caught up with her so quickly.
"woke up?"
The woman's slightly hoarse voice broke Xia Niang's thoughts. She immediately came back to her senses and looked at her with a little caution: "Why are you here?"
Ming Yueyi shook the chain in his hand and smiled, "I sensed a demonic presence, so I came out to catch it."
Xia Niang's eyes fell on the jingling iron chain, and she naturally thought that the demon she was talking about was herself. Just as she was about to speak, Ming Yueyi interrupted her.
"But I didn't find the monster. Instead, I saw you collapsed in the grass. I wonder if you were captured by the monster. To ensure your safety, I moved you here first." Mingyue Yi Jianqiu looked at her with his dark eyes. "Are you okay? I just checked your breath, but I didn't feel any. I almost thought you were dead."
After the conversation, Xia Niang was stunned and looked at the woman in front of her with suspicion.
What this means is that they didn't realize she was a monster. If they didn't realize it, then why did they bring her here after they found that there was no breath of life in her body?
Mingyueyi's expression remained unchanged as he looked at her calmly.
"No problem." Xia Niang was lost in thought, her face filled with confusion and fear. "I don't know what happened. I opened my eyes and saw Daojun. That's right."
She looked at Ming Yueyi with a soft gaze and asked casually, "Why didn't Daojun take me back to Daojun Wujiu's cave, but brought me here instead?"
Ming Yueyi shook his head and made up a story: "I suspected there was a demon, so I came to a random place."
"Is that so?" Xia Niang thought thoughtfully.
After a few breaths, Xia Niang remembered that she had not yet thanked her.
She stood up gracefully and bowed to her: "Thank you, Daojun. If it weren't for you, I would have died somewhere."
Mingyueyi smiled, her sharp fangs showing from her lips, "It's okay, you are the one my senior brother brought back. It is neither moral nor logical for me to stand by and watch you die."
Xia Niang almost forgot about this relationship. Thinking about it this way, the reason why Mingyueyi saved her became clear.
She looked at the young female Taoist priest in front of her with curiosity, thinking of the words she had overheard recently.
Everyone on Fenjing Peak said that Ming Yueyi liked He Wujiu, and the two would become Taoist couples without any surprises. Because of her intervention, Ming Yueyi was depressed and lost in thought and did not leave the cave for several days.
It is not uncommon for a junior sister to have a crush on a senior brother.
So even if he dislikes her in his heart, he will save her out of love for her.
Xia Niang's eyes flickered, and she smiled delicately, covering her lips with her hands. "No matter what, I should thank Daojun. I will also inform Daojun Wujiu later and ask him to come and thank you as well."
Ming Yueyi smiled as usual: "No need."
Xia Niang insisted, "Yes, Daojun Wujiu has always been very concerned about my affairs. He said he didn't want me to owe him a favor, saying that I am not a cultivator and cannot bear the consequences of karma."
She naturally loved to see women jealous, and she said this deliberately at this moment just to see Mingyueyi show jealousy.
Mingyueyi had long understood Xia Niang's character. He seemed slightly startled by her words, then shook his head in a lowered tone, "No need."
"Yes." Xia Niang's eyes passed by her face that could not hide her disappointment, and the smile in her eyes became more obvious.
Jealousy really makes the demon excited.
Seeing that she was really insistent and couldn't refuse, Ming Yueyi nodded in agreement: "Okay, remember to tell Senior Brother about what happened tonight."
Well?
Xia Niang thought she would continue to refuse, and even the next sentence was about to come out of her lips, but she heard such words.
Ming Yueyi raised her beautiful eyes filled with confusion and looked at her questioningly: "What's wrong, Miss Xia? Is there something you can't tell me?"
Xia Niang didn't want to tell He Wujiu what happened tonight. She came here on a mission. Even though she was almost eaten by Pu Yuemin just now, she couldn't reveal his existence to He Wujiu.
If she had known Mingyueyi would give in so quickly, she wouldn't have had to repeat herself. Now it seems she has to think of a good excuse to deceive He Wujiu when she goes back.
Thinking of the man's vigilance, Xia Niang felt a headache, but she couldn't show it. She had to force a smile and nod under Ming Yueyi's puzzled eyes.
It's like shooting oneself in the foot.
Ming Yueyi ignored the reluctance on her lips and smiled sweetly, "Miss Xia, it's getting late. I'll take you home."
"Thank you." Xia Niang was no longer as relaxed as before. She was thinking about making up some excuse to deceive He Wujiu and did not notice the smile on the woman in front of her.
"No need to thank me, it's my due." Ming Yueyi shook his head and took out his long sword, standing on the sword and extending his hand towards her: "Miss Xia, come up."
Xia Niang couldn't refuse, so she held her hand and sat on the sword.
At night, the sword was used to create a scar in the sky.
Mingyueyi only sent Xia Niang to a place not far from the Liusen Cave.
She looked guilty, "I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I still have to go look for that evil spirit, so I won't let you in."
These words just hit the mark of what Xia Niang wanted. She was just worrying about how to persuade Ming Yueyi not to send her in, so as to avoid exposing the lie she had painstakingly fabricated.
Xia Niang showed regret and bowed, saying, "It's okay. Daojun is busy, and it's Xia Niang who delayed him."
Mingyueyi smiled faintly at the weak Xia Niang, turned around and flew away on his sword.
Xia Niang watched her figure disappear into the long night, and the weakness on her face disappeared. She stood there, tidying her hair and bun, and then she walked into the cave with a guilty conscience and a coquettish look.
As she approached the main house, a long sword carrying strong murderous intent passed by her.
A strand of hair fell lightly to the ground. Xia Niang covered her ears in shock, staring at the door that was pierced by the sword.
Fortunately, only her hair was cut off, not half of her head. This is her body, and it would be difficult to restore it if it was damaged.
"Where did you go?"
The young man came out from inside, looked coldly at the banshee standing at the door, raised his hand and grasped the long sword that was spinning back under his palm, his body still maintaining his usual righteousness.
Seeing the murderous intent surrounding him, Xia Niang secretly gasped and gave him a casual look, "Of course I'm going to get some fresh air. You locked me up here and forbade me from going out to harm your fellow apprentices. Can't I go out and look for something else?"
He Wujiu's brows were cold and his eyes were indifferent: "Xia Ji, you have forgotten what I said again."
Xia Niang honestly admitted her mistake: "Remember, you must not harm others, you must not release evil spirits, you must not..."
Having said this, she raised her beautiful eyes, turned her gaze to his waist, and smiled mischievously, "You are not allowed to get close to your junior sister. You see, I remember everything, but Daojun seems to have forgotten. Your wound has begun to rot again, and it is oozing with demonic energy. If your junior sister saw it, it would be a shame."
"I dare not think about it." Xia Niang shook her head.
He Wujiu stared at her without saying a word.
Xia Niang was afraid she had really angered him, so after her sarcasm, she hurriedly tried to make amends, "Oh, Daojun, please come in quickly. I'll absorb the demonic energy from you. If you're any later, it will seep into your internal organs. Then you won't be the sword immortal that everyone envied, but a demon."
He Wujiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression became colder than before: "Not necessary for now."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Xia Niang curled her lips when she saw this. People are so complicated. They are obviously about to give up, but they still don't know how to persist in the unnecessary righteous path.
When he really becomes full of demonic energy, she wants to see how his fellow junior brothers and sisters will treat him.
Xia Niang twisted her slender waist and turned back.
He Wujiu in the room stood there with an indecipherable expression, staring down at the raised hand.
A demon?
He would never become a monster.
-
The moonlight is as bright as a silver thread.
Mingyueyi wandered outside for a while before returning to the cave.
As she approached the door, she glanced up and saw a tall male figure not far away. Her feet froze in place, and then she vigilantly gripped the sword in her hand.
Until the dark figure leaning against the door spoke.
"Junior sister."
The young man's voice was like the sound of a clear spring hitting a rock, warm yet with a hint of clarity.
It is not Bodhisattva who is compassionate, but Crane who is free from blame.
Ming Yueyi's tense shoulders relaxed instantly. He quietly put away his sword and walked towards him: "Big Brother, why are you here?"
The young man said calmly, "I came to look for you during the day, but saw you were soundly asleep, so I didn't disturb you. I just heard Xia Niang say she met you, so I came here."
Ming Yueyi saw that the young man didn't smile until he got closer. He couldn't help but think of what had just happened and asked, "How come I didn't know that my senior brother was here?"
She slept so soundly during the day that she didn't even notice He Wujiu coming.
He Wujiu's eyes fell on her face. Instead of answering, he asked, "Junior sister, why are you still out so late? What happened?"
Ming Yueyi knew that Xia Niang would not tell anyone about Ye Pu Yuemin, but he didn't know how she would say it, so he only replied ambiguously: "I wanted to practice swordplay at night, and happened to run into Miss Xia and chatted with her for a while."
"By the way, senior brother, has Miss Xia gone back?" Ming Yueyi looked at the young man in front of him curiously, as if he didn't realize that Miss Xia Niang was a demon.
He Wujiu said calmly, "I've already gone back."
Mingyueyi said "Oh" lightly and didn't ask any more questions. He Wujiu didn't want to discuss Xia Niang with her either, so the matter of Xia Niang just passed by between the two of them.
Ming Yueyi wanted to go in, but saw He Wujiu standing at the door without saying a word. Her beautiful eyes held a hint of doubt: "Is there something important that you're looking for me for so late at night?"
He Wujiu tilted his head and curled the corner of his lip. "Nothing, I just saw that Junior Sister Bai Ri seemed to have received a mission to Xueyun Peak. Why did Junior Sister suddenly want the snow lotus?"
She had just received the mission to Xueyun Peak. She originally wanted to pick thousand-year-old snow lotus to cure Pu Yuemin of the fox demon poison, but she didn't expect to encounter such a scene before leaving.
Ming Yueyi didn't show any emotion on his face as he explained, "No, I've just been researching fox demons recently and saw the snow lotus that can calm the mind and purify desires. I'm curious about its effects. After all, like my senior brother, I'm cultivating the ruthless path, and I'll need the snow lotus to help me achieve the great path in the future."
The snow lotus in the back mountain of He Wujiu's cave is for emergency use when she wants to break through. Her cultivation is not high enough, so she has not planted the snow lotus yet to avoid wasting the spiritual energy around the cave.
It was natural for Mingyueyi to explain it this way, but I didn't know whether he believed her words.
Fortunately, He Wujiu did not ask any more questions. It seemed that he just saw that everything she had been investigating recently was related to fox demons, and thought that something had happened to her, so he came to ask about her as a senior brother.
He Wujiu smiled and said jokingly, "If you are curious about the snow lotus, you can take the snow lotus from the Liusen Cave and raise it."
Ming Yueyi pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "No need, I'm just curious. Brother is about to break through, so he needs the Snow Lotus Meditation. It's still too early for me."
He Wujiu did not insist and nodded, a gentle look in his dark eyes, "Then go back quickly, I won't disturb you anymore."
Ming Yueyi smiled brightly at him, "Okay."
He Wujiu's gaze fell on her face, and her beautiful eyes and eyebrows exuded a brightness that could not be concealed even by the darkness.
Mingyueyi passed by him and before she stepped over the threshold, the rich spiritual energy that had been stored in her dantian and had not yet been digested seemed to be affected by something and suddenly began to move around.
"Um..." Ming Yueyi staggered a step, holding onto the door frame with a pale face, and fell backwards swayingly.
Before passing out, I could vaguely hear the young man's clear and concerned voice.
"Junior sister, what's wrong?"
He Wujiu embraced Mingyueyi who fell backwards for no reason. In the moonlight tonight, he saw her pale face. Putting his hand on her wrist, he discovered that there was a huge amount of spiritual power stirring in her body.
His eyes narrowed, and he immediately picked her up and walked over the threshold inside.
Along the way, Mingyueyi groaned uncomfortably in his arms, her brows furrowed as if she was in pain.
"Junior sister, wait a minute, we'll be there soon." He Wujiu didn't even bother to push the door open, and his action of kicking it open was also ungraceful.
Ming Yueyi could no longer hear what he was saying. She only felt severe pain all over her body. Every blood vessel was stretched by spiritual energy, as if she would explode and die at any time.
She had known for a long time that a body at the third level could not digest the cultivation of the fourth level, but she had never experienced any backlash and thought that her body would not explode due to excessive cultivation.
It hurts so much.
Mingyueyi gritted her teeth, all she could hear was He Wujiu's useless soothing words, which noisily filled her mind.
Just to change the ending of being sacrificed by him, she ended up in this situation.
The black mud-like hatred and the spiritual power surging in her body almost seemed to burst all her spiritual veins.
Mingyueyi couldn't help but open his mouth and bite something hard.
"Master, Junior Sister...?"
There was a very soft murmur, and then Mingyueyi could no longer hear any sound, and the world was quiet.
The woman who had just been placed on the couch loosened her lips, her hands hanging limply over the edge of the couch, her pale face regained its composure, only occasionally her body convulsed due to the unrest in her body's spiritual power.
The young man who knelt in front of her bed had his pupils trembling slightly. He raised his hand to touch his jaw. The teeth marks were obvious, as if there were still some wet and soft residue left from the woman's bite.
Just now he just wanted to put her on the couch so that he could use his spiritual power to calm her current restlessness, but just as he bent down, she suddenly raised her head and bit his face hard.
Mingyueyi was in pain, and his strength was not strong, just like a newborn baby whose teeth had not yet grown fully, and the bite on the face was like a lick.
At that moment, his whole body trembled, his feet became unstable and he knelt straight in front of the couch.
He Wujiu raised his eyes and stared at the unconscious woman on the couch, blinking his thick eyelashes lightly. After a long time, he seemed to remember that she was still in pain.
Abandoning the feelings that shouldn't exist, He Wujiu helped her up and leaned her against the bed frame. His expression seemed to have returned to normal, but the hand that held her shoulder was not calm.
He used his spiritual power to calm the restless cultivation in Mingyueyi's body.
Perhaps because she was too cautious or was simply resisting, his spiritual power couldn't enter her body.
Both of them practiced the ruthless way, so there should be no repulsion. However, no matter how many times He Wujiu tried, he could not successfully enter. Instead, the restlessness in her body became more and more obvious.
Looking at the woman on the couch whose cheeks were flushed and she was barely breathing, He Wujiu's eyes were no longer calm and he pursed his thin lips.
This situation can be alleviated through dual cultivation.
but……
He Wujiu used his spiritual power again to try to calm the restlessness in her body, but got the same result.
She is resisting.
He Wujiu pondered and thought of his junior brother who also practiced the ruthless way. After careful consideration, he used the messenger crane to find someone.
When the door was pushed open, it was already midnight, when the air was at its coldest.
The cold moon hanging high in the inky gray sky seemed to be falling. As the door was opened, the cold moonlight pulled in a tall shadow.
"Big Brother, are you looking for me?"
The voice of the person who came was soft and slow, as if his throat was not used to his new body.
He Wujiu raised his head and looked at the young man standing at the door in a red and white robe. He had black hair, fair skin, and a gentle smile.
The second junior brother and the younger junior sister are still at the foot of the mountain, and now only the younger junior brother Pu Yuemin is left at Fenjing Peak.
"Junior sister, for some reason, the spiritual power in her body is restless. She came to find me, junior brother, to ask for your help in calming the restlessness in her body." He Wujiu made way for the person lying on the couch behind him.
Pu Yuemin's gaze passed over him and fell on the pale-faced woman. His eyes seemed to straighten for a moment, and when he looked at the young man again, his pupils were pure black and round again. "Brother, what do you need me to do?"
He Wujiu said, "You and I practice the Way of Mercy together, and she taught you, so your spiritual power should be similar to hers. Let's see if Junior Sister will reject you. If not, use your spiritual power to calm the restless spiritual power in her body."
Although Ming Yueyi was taught by him, many years had passed and she had already mastered her own skills, and her spiritual power was no longer close to his, so he thought of Pu Yuemin.
However, after he finished speaking, he received no response from the boy.
He Wujiu looked at it doubtfully.
The moon had been covered in mist at some point, and the young man was leaning lazily against the door frame, his eyes fixed on him, like an animal waiting for an opportunity to attack at any moment, with an indescribable strangeness.
He Wujiu noticed his gaze on the teeth marks on his face. After a few breaths of silence, he calmly asked him, "Junior brother, did you hear that?"
"Hmm..." Pu Yuemin looked away from the obvious teeth marks and smiled slightly, "I understand. I will help you, Senior Sister."
He stepped over the threshold and walked towards the bed step by step. The closer he got, the more emotion in his eyes became.
Why are senior sister’s teeth marks on someone else’s face? What happened just now?
Why would senior sister bite another man?
He Wujiu noticed his stiff steps and thought he was nervous, so he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm right next to you."
Pu Yue, who had just sat down, looked at him with pity and asked with a friendly look, "Brother, aren't you going out?"
He Wujiu shook his head: "Junior sister might be able to resist the spiritual power, and I can just be there to guide you on how to use the spiritual power."
Idiot, why do you need his guidance?
Senior sister is most familiar with him, from the inside out, there is no way she could resist him.
He and his senior sister had exchanged kisses several times and were already familiar with each other.
idiot.
The young man was arrogant and sarcastic, his evil thoughts were like surging evil water, and his fingertips lightly hooked out a poisonous snake that crawled in from the window.
When the snake appeared behind He Wujiu, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Big Brother." A sweet smile appeared in the young man's kind eyes, and he called out to He Wujiu, who had noticed something was wrong behind him.
He Wujiu stared at him.
"Senior Brother, I don't like having people around me. Could you please wait outside the door? If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you again, okay?" Pu Yuemin sat on the edge of the bed, her long hair hanging down like silk, dragging on the ground, making her figure look as slender and beautiful as a woman.
He Wujiu was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, he said again, "Junior sister, if there is anything wrong, please tell me as soon as possible. I will be outside the door."
"Yes." Pu Yuemin smiled as he watched him step out of the door and reminded him, "Please close the door, Senior Brother."
He Wujiu felt a sense of inexplicable discomfort in his heart. He raised his hand to close the door and stood in the courtyard outside with his hands behind his back.
One of the candles in the room went out, as if deliberately trying to cover up the shadow it cast.
The young man took off his gold-embroidered deerskin boots and knelt beside Mingyueyi with his bare, lean feet. He stretched out his handsome neck, and his long hair fell on the back of his hands that were supported on his knees.
"Senior Sister, you are so pitiful." His eyes were full of pity for her, but soon a cold complaint slipped out from his thin lips as pale as roses.
"But how could you bite someone else, and bite his ugly face? I'm so angry and want to punish you."
He leaned forward and placed his tall nose against hers, then asked softly, "How should I punish my disobedient senior sister?"
