Chapter 24: Sucking Beyond the Boundary, Blood is Sweet
As if by magic, Yin Zhiyi held that bright red spot in his mouth.
Just like stopping the bleeding just now.
With a hint of damp warmth, the touch on Yan Shiman's fingertips was a strange feeling he had never felt before.
The next second, he withdrew his fingers as if he had been electrocuted.
Yin Zhiyi was startled, a silver thread fell from the corner of his lips.
Coming back to my senses, my heartbeat quickened.
For a lady and a guard of this status, this behavior is clearly beyond the line.
She said unnaturally: "Stop the bleeding."
Two words popped up in my mind at an inappropriate time: "Sweet." 】
This really surprised her, as she thought the second male lead, whose ethereal bloodline was designed to be extremely miserable, would have a miserable life.
The fishy and sweet taste becomes more and more obvious on the tip of the tongue.
Yin Zhiyi only recently discovered that the longer she has been here, the more the original owner's body resembles her own.
For example, her five senses are gradually getting stronger.
She thought again of the black line in her previous dream, and she was sure that she was not seeing things.
Suppressing the unnatural feeling on the tip of her tongue, she thought to herself: "I have to find a reason to leave now." 】
With just one spell, she would be able to find out whether the person who attacked her on the first day she came here was... Yan Shiman.
Looking at the gentle and handsome face of the second male lead, her heart was beating wildly.
Yan Shiman lowered his eyes and looked at his wet fingertips. When he saw the unknown silver hair at the corner of Yin Zhiyi's mouth, his eyes darkened for a moment.
He stared at the person in front of him without blinking, as if trying to determine what she meant.
Being stared at like a stalker, Yin Zhiyi couldn't help but blush even though she just wanted to test the waters.
But unexpectedly, Yan Shiman just bent down and picked up the flowers on the ground.
After a moment, he smiled warmly like spring breeze: "It's okay, the lady's medicine is important."
He gently brushed away the dust on the cloud flower, handling it carefully as if he was holding some treasure.
Yin Zhiyi was dizzy with this smile, not because she was greedy for beauty, but mainly because, based on her experience of judging people in her more than 20 years of life, Yan Shiman was really not the kind of person who said one thing in public and another behind the scenes.
"It's good to have me here, Miss, go back to your room and rest."
"It just so happens that the previous calming bell was broken. I put the new one on the table in the young lady's room."
Yin Zhiyi was still thinking about finding a reason to leave when she heard these two sentences, which were really thoughtful.
Thinking that she still suspected Yan Shiman, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Yan Shiman stared at the figure going away.
Thinking of the inner voice he just heard: [Maybe I misunderstood him. Even if he is an evil cultivator, he doesn't look like a bad person. 】
Finally, it was discovered.
But when did he reveal himself?
He couldn't quite understand it. They had always been together, hadn't they?
Is it because of the Calming Bell, or that little mute girl, or something else?
He moved his fingertips slightly, and a knife appeared in his hand.
There was black medicine in the earthenware jar, with steam rising and a few bubbles bubbling out.
Almost without hesitation, he cut his palm, and blood dripped into the medicine along the palm lines.
As the misty hot air passed over him, his heart beat faster for some reason, and then a sneer escaped from between his lips.
As if responding to the previous voice in my heart.
"But evil cultivators are bad."
Bloodline cannot be changed; this is a curse he was born with.
However, he decided to be a good guy today.
Just consider it as...reward for her saying she's a good person.
Ordinary antidotes cannot cure the disease of those infected by him, but his blood can.
In fact, he didn't know it at first, and it was all thanks to his good master.
Yan Shiman stroked the leather handle on the knife with his fingers. It had obviously been through the test of time, but it was still elastic.
Inexplicably, he felt a little happier.
In fact, sometimes, the skin of a living person may not be as well preserved as that of a dead person...
When Yin Zhiyi opened the door, the first thing he saw was a brand new calming bell, and not far away it was obviously the one that had been broken before.
She didn't expect Yan Shiman to bring this back as well.
She spat out a small blood-red bead that was pressed under her tongue.
Take a deep breath.
Inside the transparent glass bead, there is a red blood bead.
She originally carried the blood-collecting beads with her and was thinking of finding an opportunity to draw blood, but she didn't expect it to be done so quickly.
She placed the bead on the blood bead on her fingertips and began to chant a spell.
When a golden light appeared, she said in a deep voice: "As I see, everything is revealed."
In an instant, a red line appeared on the two blood beads.
Under Yin Zhiyi's incredulous gaze, the two threads began to intertwine, like the fusion of blood and flesh.
Isn’t this the source of the evil spirit in her body?
So, on the first day she entered the book, the person who plotted against her was Yan Shiman.
"Grass."
It was rare that Yin Zhiyi cursed out completely subconsciously.
She slapped the red line in the air and dispersed it.
I felt like I had discovered a bug in the book. The plot didn't even mention that the second male lead was a villain.
Without the filter of her previous personality, the weird things that she had ignored in her mind came to her mind all at once.
For example, the sword in the Undying Bone Cave acupoint was not meant to save her, it was clearly meant to stab her. And last night, Yin Zhiyi carefully looked at the fragments of the Heart-Calming Bell on the table.
Several of the cracks were very regular, not looking like accidental breakage, but rather like traces of human activity.
Her hands froze and her mood became more complicated.
The original owner really left her a big pot.
What a strategy. I used to think Yan Shiman had a good temper, but now it seems she was just pretending. I don't know how much she hates her in her heart.
In fact, after seeing the scene in her dream last night, she had some vague guesses. After all, the original owner's torture of Yan Shiman was obviously not overnight. It would be really strange if Yan Shiman did not hold any grudge at all.
But the problem now is that her mission is linked to Yan Shiman.
If she had known when she first came here that the second male lead hated her so much, how could she maintain her character? She would have definitely started to whitewash herself right away.
Headache!
Yin Zhiyi took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.
Be calm but be flexible, and act according to the situation.
As soon as I came back, I saw Yan Shiman holding a bowl of boiled medicine and placing it on the wooden table.
Yan Shiman's eyes were dark and his fingertips were shaking with excitement.
"Miss, take your medicine."
He suppressed the tremor that wanted to rise in his throat.
In fact, he was looking forward to seeing the expressions of horror, fear and disgust on other people's faces after they discovered that he was an evil cultivator.
But to his disappointment, Yin Zhiyi did not.
The expression on his face was no different from usual.
His reaction was not even as intense as his master's at the beginning, but shouldn't those upright Taoist priests be disgusted by these evil practitioners?
Even if he is a villain in private, he appears to be a good person on the surface.
Just like his master, he cursed his shamelessness but enjoyed his offerings with peace of mind.
Yin Zhiyi looked at the medicine handed to him and said calmly, "Thank you."
My heart skipped a beat: [You’re not going to poison me, are you? 】
But on second thought, since I didn't do anything to her last night, poisoning her now would be a bit unnecessary.
She felt a little more at ease.
Moreover, in the original plot, the original owner was not killed by Yan Shiman, but by the big villain.
After thinking it over for a while, she felt relieved.
The medicine was black, just like the Chinese medicine she had taken before, and it was so bitter that she wanted to kill someone.
Drink it all in one gulp.
She smacked her lips, and at last, a strange fishy-sweet taste appeared, which was inexplicably familiar.
But the bitterness in the first taste was really poisonous to her taste buds, so she quickly took a few sips of tea.
Almost the moment she drank it, her body began to heat up.
Yin Zhiyi lifted up half of his sleeves and saw that the black lines on his arms were slowly fading away, and the heaviness that had originally covered his body seemed to have been washed away.
"It's gone." She said with some pleasure in her tone.
When she looked up, she saw Yan Shiman looking at her with a strange look on his face.
"Miss, don't you have anything to ask?"
"What?"
"Of course it's me." Yan Shi showed a gentle smile on his face, with a bad look, and took out the extremely sharp short blade in front of Yin Zhiyi.
—
In the cafeteria, Fu Xiaoqi was holding a large basin of handmade osmanthus candy. The wooden basin contained the candy wrapped in oil paper, which exuded a delicate fragrance and easily aroused everyone's appetite.
A large group of children were looking forward to it, staring at Fu Xiaoqi eagerly.
Of course, apart from this, there seemed to be some other expectations in his eyes.
Fu Xiaoqi was in a good mood today, and said in a gentle tone: "Come and line up to get some candy."
When Bai Zhixing came, what she saw was this warm and harmonious scene.
"Amu, this is yours."
Fu Xiaoqi called out names and distributed candies.
The little boy whose name was called seemed to hesitate for a moment. He touched the candy wrapper in his pocket. Saliva began to flow unconsciously from his mouth. The pear-flavored fruit candy he had eaten last time seemed to linger on the tip of his tongue again.
He paused for a moment, but still took the candy from Fu Xiaoqi's hand.
Fu Xiaoqi seemed surprised as well. The kid had not been here for long, but she had a deep impression of him. Every time they distributed gifts at the end of the month, he would refuse any.
Last time it was brown sugar cake, and the time before that it was oranges.
I didn't expect that he actually accepted it this time. That's quite strange.
But she didn't ask any more questions. After all, in her opinion, anyone who didn't want to eat was a fool.
"Miss Xiaoqi."
Just as Fu Xiaoqi was about to leave with the wooden basin, he saw Bai Zhixing at the door.
"Mrs. Ji?"
She knew Bai Zhixing. She remembered that this lady and her husband came here to worship the statue of the goddess yesterday.
Although Bai Zhixing looks cold on weekdays, after spending the past few days with her, she has become quite familiar with chatting with people.
She smiled and said, "I heard from other ladies that in addition to praying, the charity hall also has talismans for praying for children?"
After hearing what she said, Fu Xiaoqi suddenly realized that she had indeed forgotten to give it yesterday.
He hurriedly said that he would go and get it for Bai Zhixing.
On the way, Bai Zhixing continued, "What kind of hair oil is Miss Xiaoqi using? It smells so good. I have never smelled such a fragrant hair oil before."
Fu Xiaoqi was also very outgoing, and he felt that Mrs. Ji was not arrogant, so he immediately developed a good impression of her.
Also began to talk incessantly.
"Miss Xiaoqi looks in a good mood today?"
Fu Xiaoqi said: "Mrs. Ji doesn't know."
"Today is the day for the charity hall to draw lots. The children who are drawn will be sent to Xianyun County, which is a good place."
“I’m happy for them.”
Bai Zhixing's eyes were slightly cold. Of course she knew it. Not only did she know it, but she also came here specifically to get information.
