Chapter 133: Arguing like this... Still not good?
Two hours?
Two hours!?
Xu Xingxing's body was stiff, his heart was beating wildly, and all the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
She can't wait.
By then, Wei Yuan must have suffered severe torture, and she couldn't just sit there and wait.
Xu Xingxing avoided the crowd and walked to a secluded place. She sat cross-legged on the ground and went through the same process of changing bodies as before, but when she opened her eyes, she found that she was still in this body!
She suppressed her chaotic mind and tried several times before finally realizing that she couldn't move at all!
Why? Why is this?
Is she supposed to just sit there and wait for death?
Or, suicide?
No, no, that's not possible. Thinking of this, her blocked mind suddenly opened up.
Yes, she can't die, she can't die!
Is there any bigger cheat than this!
.
There are thirty-two peaks in Chengxu, and the place where the alchemy furnace is located is called Chouhuan Mountain.
Xu Xingxing walked around the mountain and got a general understanding of the situation.
From the moment she entered the inner courtyard from the flying boat, she saw three layers of barrier centered on the alchemy room, not to mention the countless patrols. From this, she could clearly determine that with her current strength, she would not be able to get in on her own.
Even though you won't die, you can't just charge in blindly.
So, she tried her best to calm her mind and circled around Chouhuan Mountain like a satellite, trying to find a way in. Finally, her hard work paid off and she really found a way in.
A group of Taoists had emerged from the alchemy room barrier during her second circumambulation and marched all the way to the western foot of Chouhuan Mountain. She kept a careful eye on them and noticed that they were still waiting there, motionless, when she completed her fourth circumambulation.
She pretended to ask others casually, and only then did she know that this group of people were waiting for Zhujian Peak to deliver swords.
When it came to Zhujian Peak, the person she asked about had something to say. He said that the peak master, Chiyu, had an extremely strange temper and that only disciples of Zhujian Peak were allowed to go up the mountain. All those who came to get the sword had to wait at the foot of the mountain.
It is said that his skills are extremely high, but he makes swords according to his own preferences. It is clear that after Shi Chen learned that the princess's male favorite had the ability to recover, he asked him to forge a new disassembly blade. It has been several months, and when Shi Chen was about to start refining the elixir, his sword has not been delivered yet.
After knowing the use of the knife, Xu Xingxing was so angry that he wanted to kill everyone. He no longer wanted to listen to what the man said. After leaving, he sneaked straight to the Sword Casting Peak.
The man continued, "The method of alchemy is extremely delicate. Every step requires strict scrutiny. Even the knife must be used with care. Eh! You don't want to listen?"
She secretly climbed up the mountain through the jungle, and hid on the only way down the mountain to wait for the person who delivered the knife. Finally, she waited until the person arrived, emerged from behind him, and neatly twisted the man's neck.
After hiding the body, she disguised herself as the man and walked down the mountain with a knife.
When they reached the Taoists, they were about to take the knife, but Xu Xingxing moved back and dodged it.
She said seriously, "This sword was forged with the master's painstaking efforts. However, because it was newly forged, it is too evil. Therefore, he repeatedly instructed me to go with him to test the sword. Only if it does not hinder its use can I return to the mountain."
Hearing this, the Taoists all looked embarrassed.
Her face was calm, as if she didn't care at all. "It's okay if I don't go. But if anything happens, it has nothing to do with us at Sword Forging Peak. You need to sign a document to prevent my master from blaming me. As for Elder Shi Chen, you will be held responsible."
After saying this, the Taoists discussed for a while, and finally bowed to her and led her to the alchemy room.
After passing many checkpoints, he finally arrived at the door of the alchemy room smoothly. He had been cleaning the room not long ago, but when he looked at the door now, Xu Xingxing felt a little shudder in his heart.
The heat pressure inside the house was still visible even through the door. Red smoke billowed out from the chimney on the roof, rose, and then slowly dissipated, leaving only the bloody smell in the air.
The alchemy furnace has started to burn.
A Taoist priest came in to announce the news, then opened the door and motioned her in.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Hou Yuan sitting with his back to the door. He was dressed in white, with his hair half tied up. His body stiffened slightly because of her entry, but he quickly relaxed. She felt a slight pain in her heart, but it never showed on her face.
A circle of Taoists surrounded Hou Yuan, all sitting cross-legged facing him, chanting messy spells. Further in was a high platform. Shi Chen sat cross-legged on the platform, facing the alchemy furnace, with his back to the crowd, sometimes muttering to himself, and sometimes waving his whisk gently.
She waited for a moment, and suddenly the conversation stopped. The room was filled with silence. Shi Chen did not turn around, but only uttered two words in a calm voice:
"Heart-ripping."
Xu Xingxing was slightly stunned and didn't understand.
A Taoist priest came over and whispered, "Master wants you to cut out the heart of this medicine."
Xu Xingxing's eyes darkened slightly, and then he said calmly: "Elder, this knife needs the blood of a Mahayana cultivator to be sharpened. You..."
"How dare you!" The Taoist priest at the side was furious. "Why doesn't your peak master wield the blade himself? Why does he have to hurt my master?"
Thanks to the reputation of the Sword Forging Peak Master for his eccentric personality, she no longer needed any basis for her claims.
She stood straight and said calmly: "My master said that he is afraid of pain."
Everyone around was stunned, except for the young man in white sitting in the middle who chuckled softly.
Xu Xingxing couldn't see his expression at the moment, but she felt that the smile flew into her heart like a light feather, making her heart itch.
Damn, Xiao Hei is so nice, these dogs are not human beings!
Shi Chen finally made a move. He tilted his head slightly and said, "Show me the knife."
Xu Xingxing didn't hand it over herself. She handed the knife to the Taoist priest beside her. The Taoist priest glanced at her with dissatisfaction, took the knife and handed it over.
The moment Shi Chen took the knife in his hand, the silver thread of the whisk suddenly stabbed towards Hou Yuan's heart. Xu Xingxing immediately teleported forward to block the whisk.
Shi Chen slowly turned around, with a very sinister smile on his face: "It is indeed you, the young lady who is the medicine guide."
Xu Xingxing stared at Shi Chen for a while, thinking that he was worthy of being Shi Chen. Even in the illusion, his brain did not decrease in intelligence.
"How do you know it's me?"
"Every step of alchemy is very delicate. If you want to gouge out his heart, how can you let it be stained with other people's blood? Even the furnace body must not be contaminated with filth, let alone this new knife." Shi Chen explained patiently.
"Just because of this?" Xu Xingxing asked for help humbly.
"You are very clever, but the man who delivered the knife sensed it within a few inches of his death and told me before you came here."
"So you knew it from the beginning?" Xu Xingxing asked again, "Then why are you telling me now?"
"Curious," Shi Chen replied calmly, "How is it that you, a living being, can possess another person's body, and even I can't see the slightest clue?"
Xu Xingxing blinked and said, "You'll probably know after you die."
“Bold!”
A Taoist priest attacked with a sword, and Xu Xingxing condensed an ice sword to block it.
Shi Chen's voice rang out from the side: "Leave him alive."
"Let's not do that." Xu Xingxing said with a smile, and with a few quick moves, the man's head rolled to the ground.
She was extremely fast. Before everyone could react, she had already quickly flashed through the crowd and taken down a few more heads. Just as she was about to pull Hou Yuan, a powerful palm wind suddenly came towards her. When she raised her sword to block it, the palm wind unexpectedly turned and hit Hou Yuan.
Hou Yuan will recover and be fine, but she doesn't want him to feel pain, so before he can react, she has teleported in front of Hou Yuan to block it for him.
As if he had expected this, Hou Yuan put his arm around her waist and leaned forward slightly, and the palm landed directly on him.
The palm wind was like a blade, which directly cut off a layer of red flesh from Hou Yuan's arm and back, revealing the white bones.
Xu Xingxing's body was stiff, her eyes were blank, and tears suddenly fell. Wei Yuan raised his hand and gently wiped them away. He smiled at the corner of his lips, as if he didn't feel the pain at all. He hugged her and murmured, "Xingxing, I miss you so much..."
"You are truly sincere and heartfelt." Shi Chen slowly stood up, clapping his hands with a smile. "I heard from my master that if the person entering the furnace to refine the elixir is willing to sacrifice themselves, the efficacy of the refined elixir will be a hundredfold. If I capture you, wouldn't it be possible for me to get the medicinal ingredients to disassemble voluntarily so that I can refine the elixir?"
Xu Xingxing sat up and looked at the injury on Hou Yuan. Her heart ached. She raised the corner of her lips and said, "I've heard that too..."
She didn't say anything else, just looked at Yuan, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him.
There was a momentary silence in the field.
"You are shameless—"
Before the Taoist priest could finish his words, an ice blade pierced his neck. The next moment, his body flew directly towards Shi Chen.
After Shi Chen lightly blocked it, the woman suddenly disappeared.
"I heard that this furnace is very particular. If I use someone else's blood to refine the pill today, the bloody smell will take two full days to dissipate. I don't know... if that's right."
Everyone looked up and saw the woman holding a Taoist priest and standing by the furnace. Her clothes were blown up by the hot wind, making her eyes and eyebrows look lively.
The whisk came straight towards her, and Xu Xingxing hurriedly threw the Taoist priest's ice in her hand out. The whisk instantly pierced through the Taoist priest and came towards her again. Xu Xingxing took advantage of this moment to lift the furnace lid and jumped into the furnace.
*
Two months ago, Xu Xingxing and Wei Yuan had a quarrel.
"No." Yuan's voice was extremely cold.
Xu Xingxing stiffened his neck and said unconvincedly, "Why not? Besides, I'm not really dead. I'm just assuming that if He Shichen comes looking for me, he's so powerful, I'll definitely use my indestructible advantage. Do you think I accompanied you into the illusion array just to sleep with you?"
Zhu Yuan's face froze for a moment, the tips of his ears slightly red, but his tone did not soften: "I don't allow it. I don't need you to protect me with your life. If you insist, I will send you out."
"Okay, take me out." Xu Xingxing said as he pulled out a stool and sat down across from him aggressively. "Don't even think about touching me again, and don't even talk to me!"
Wei Yuan felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. He pulled her onto his legs with one hand and bit her lips. While she was moaning in pain, he tore off her clothes and invaded her forcefully.
Xu Xingxing felt a sudden pain and shrank back for a while, clutching the man's shoulders with both hands. He had no time to speak again and was completely confused by the man's brutal and domineering attack.
Xu Xingxing soon couldn't bear it anymore. She was shaking and panting under the man's pressure. After a long pause, she said angrily, "You broke the rules... Don't act like a hooligan during an argument!"
However, Wei Yuan bit her neck directly: "I am a gangster, who made you angry?"
Xu Xingxing clung to him and retorted in a broken voice, "How did I... make you angry? It's obviously... you who are being unreasonable."
The corners of Hou Yuan's eyes were so red that even his eye sockets were stained red. "When you told me earlier that you were going to commit suicide, do you know how I felt? I wanted to cut myself into pieces to bear the pain for you. Now you're saying you want to use this so-called advantage. Xingxing, what do you want? Let me die?"
She remembered that he had cried endlessly because of this incident, so she obeyed and kissed him lustfully. After a while of lingering, she murmured softly: "Well... it's better not to tell you..."
He Yuan had initially calmed down a bit due to her soft, seductive tongue, but upon hearing this, his anger immediately flared up again: "If you don't tell me now, I'll know after I break this illusion. Then... Xingxing, I'll let you slit my throat with your own hands, okay?"
After saying this, he suddenly cracked his lips into a smile, the strange look in his eyes overshadowing the joy: "Anyway, I can't die."
Xu Xingxing: ...
Can this be the same...
But seeing that this person was about to act crazy again, Xu Xingxing immediately put on an aggrieved look and said sweetly: "...Baby, don't be like this...I'm scared..."
Zhu Yuan's expression froze, and he quickly lowered his eyes, but still replied dryly: "...No matter what...I won't allow it."
Xu Xingxing stopped talking, hooked her arms around his neck, kissed him, and clung to him, holding his fingers tightly and getting intimate with him. In the midst of her pleasure, she even deliberately said soft, blushing words, such as: "Xiao Hei... kiss me, I want..."
Another example: "...you are like this...I feel so comfortable...I...love you so much..."
Or: "...what would I do without you...I really like you, I really like being close to you..."
The madness that had just appeared in Niu Yuan disappeared, and was replaced by a fierce possession that seemed to fill the void. Xu Xingxing's mind was completely confused. After an unknown amount of time, she finally calmed down. Niu Yuan was still holding her tenderly while she continued to do so.
Seeing that the man was calm, Xu Xingxing considered for a moment before gradually expressing her position again. Well, of course, she cleverly changed her approach from quarreling to whispering in his ear.
She cupped his face and kissed him for a moment. After separating, she whispered, "...Xiao Hei... I just wanted to protect you... Is that wrong?"
Hou Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly. Realizing that she was still determined to give up, he frowned and bit her lip, refusing her firmly: "I can protect you normally, but if I want you to get hurt... I don't want it."
"I won't get hurt..." Xu Xingxing hooked her arm around his neck and pressed herself against him. "I'll quickly switch to someone else's body before I even feel any pain... How about that?"
"No." Yuan bit her collarbone.
She groaned in pain, somewhat helpless. With a little effort, she covered the man and bit his neck hard, imitating his behavior. Then she buried her head in the crook of his neck and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Hei, do you remember that time in Qingzhou?"
Hou Yuan stroked the back of her head and replied, "Yeah."
"Why did you block the lightning for me then?"
Hou Yuan hugged the woman and kissed her ear: "I didn't think so much at the time."
He only remembered that the woman was covered in blood, and even her arms were turned into white bones. His breathing stopped and he felt it was extremely dazzling. By the time he reacted, he had already rushed forward.
"Then let me ask you another question," Xu Xingxing continued, "If this were my illusion, what would you do? Would you just watch me suffer and do nothing?"
Zhu Yuan frowned, his tone quite unquestionable: "I will never allow such an illusion to occur, and even if it does, I will not let it last a moment longer."
Xu Xingxing guessed this was the answer, so he sighed, "See, I'm not as good as you. Not as steadfast as you, not as sincere as you, and I don't love you as deeply as you love me..."
At this point, she felt somewhat discouraged, her entire mood down, and her voice tinged with grievance: "Xiao Hei... I'm so bad... why do you still love me so much?"
Zhu Yuan didn't quite understand her question, so he replied from the heart, "What's wrong with you? It's best if you're by my side. I don't care how much you love me. I just want you to stay with me. If it's like this now, I'll be very satisfied. Xingxing, but what have I done wrong that makes you doubt yourself so much?"
"It's not that you didn't do well..." Xu Xingxing sighed again, "It's me, it's my fault. My lover has suffered so much since he was born into this world, but he always gave me the best. Now I finally have a chance to protect him. Even though this is an illusion, even if I can only do a little, even if it's insignificant, even if this is not his real past, I really want to protect him, the one I love the most.
She turned her head and whispered in his ear: "Yuan Yuan... Xiao Hei... baby... husband..."
"Can you give me a chance to protect him..."
Waves of heat surged through Hou Yuan's heart, making even breathing difficult. His body stiffened, yet he remained stubborn, "I don't want you to... suffer that pain because of the horrible things I went through."
Xu Xingxing lay on his chest, looked up at him, and raised three fingers. "I will definitely change my body before I get hurt. Didn't you teach me that? You said I could change my body before I die. I learned it well and wrote it down. Please, please. I could have done it without your permission, but I didn't because I didn't want you to blame yourself and worry. I didn't want you to be scared after seeing me die. It's not me who will die. I will live well and accompany you. I will never let myself feel any pain. Is that not okay? As long as you agree, I will listen to you in everything from now on, okay?"
Saying this, Xu Xingxing leaned over and kissed him without waiting for his answer, begging him over and over again as she kissed him: "Okay? Okay? Give me a chance to perform, otherwise how can I be qualified to be your wife? I'm really not afraid. I'm very powerful now, okay? I'm much braver, too. You have to believe me. Hmm? Okay, husband? I want to protect my husband, can I? Husband."
Finally, she wore down the last line of defense on Hou Yuan's side. He rolled over and covered her with his body. "I can use the spirit within you to feel your pain. If you hurt yourself, I can feel it too... Even once, I will destroy this illusion and never go through the trouble of saving Bai Ze again."
"No... I'm very capable," Xu Xingxing raised her body and kissed him, murmuring, "Husband... please believe me..."
"This can only happen in this illusion, remember?" Yuan gritted his teeth and invaded her again.
Xu Xingxing nodded dazedly, hooked her arm around his waist and said, "Well... I remember... I'm good... I'm obedient..."
Zhu Yuan's heart felt soft and numb, yet it was also clenched with pain. He bit the woman's shoulder viciously and said hatefully, "You are not obedient!"
Xu Xingxing held his finger in her mouth and looked at him hazily: "Isn't this... still not good?"
Wei Yuan's brain exploded instantly, and tremors passed through his meridians again and again. He madly held the person, kissed him, and demanded him.
Time and time again, it's never enough.
He looked at the little person in his arms, the physical pleasure could not suppress the pain in his heart. There was another thing, what was that?
Yes, he had this feeling before, when she argued for him in front of the elders, when she protected him in front of everyone.
At ease but timid, happy but afraid.
What kind of mood is this?
He didn't know it, but he felt the void in his body shrinking and the warmth in his heart growing fuller.
No matter how stupid he was, he could see that his star was trying hard to give warmth to him who was cold.
And what could he do to really resist her?
