Chapter 30 Restoring Meridians!
The system's words were like a thunderbolt, striking Su Yunyu so hard she froze on the spot. After recovering, she immediately began reciting a rhythmic clapper in her mind:
"That's not just a little mean, that's downright mean! I'm a straight man, and you want me to kiss Long Aotian until he's completely dizzy? What if I scare him into fainting?!"
System 111 [...Uh, actually there's another way]
Su Yunyu snapped, "Speak!"
System 111: [If you swallow a drop of Long Aotian's heart's blood, the unique spiritual energy of the Three Realms will circulate throughout your body.]
What the system didn't mention is that in the original story, the most despicable thing Su Yunyu, the biggest villain, did to Long Aotian was to lock him up and bleed him every day...
To some extent, having Su Yunyu do this would also fulfill the plot's purpose...
Su Yunyu thought about it briefly and decided it was feasible, so she let go of the system's unreliable suggestion.
He glanced at the dazed Xiao Shuying and saw that his brows were furrowed and his lower lip was bitten until it bled, clearly indicating that he was enduring great pain.
So he first clasped his hands together in his heart and silently said "I'm sorry," before taking out a dagger from his spatial storage.
The dagger looked strangely shaped and had unique engravings on it. Although Su Yunyu was a little scared, it was the only one she had in her space that was handy.
Intending to finish the fight quickly, Su Yunyu took out a dagger and held it against Xiao Shuying's chest a few times, adjusting the force of the stab she would deliver later.
When Fairy Suying saw this, she sensed something was terribly wrong, but since she was just a phantom, she could only circle around trying to stop it.
"Don't be impulsive! Just because I won't let you in doesn't mean you can kill the people who can come in!"
Su Yunyu was extremely nervous at this moment, and even the fairy's chattering voice became background noise. Only after desperately trying to make Long Aotian look like a paper doll did he plunge the dagger in.
It wasn't the kind of sweeping stabs you see in murder dramas; Su Yunyu swore he used the lightest touch possible, just enough to pierce the skin and draw blood.
But while blood was drawn, the dagger began to glow, and the engravings on it started to frantically absorb blood.
Su Yunyu was greatly surprised and quickly withdrew her dagger, but it was too late; Long Aotian's chest was already bleeding profusely.
Just as he was at a loss, Xiao Shuying suddenly opened his half-closed eyes. He felt a pain in his chest, and when he saw Su Yunyu holding the dagger from his first life, his eyes instantly turned red.
With a sizzling sound, Su Yunyu, who had just licked blood off her knife and was about to lead the people inside, was suddenly bumped. Her vision spun, and she fell to the ground, dropping the dagger in her hand.
When he came to his senses, he felt a tightness around his neck, and Xiao Shuying was lying on top of him, her hands gripping him tightly. Her usually obedient eyes were now filled with a terrifying darkness.
Those hands tightened inch by inch. Su Yunyu wasn't worried about being strangled to death, but she didn't understand why Long Aotian had suddenly become like a demon. So she struggled, her words broken and intermittent:
"What’s wrong with you"
Unexpectedly, these words seemed to further provoke Xiao Shuying. He tightened his grip, and each word from his thin lips sounded like a tearful lament:
"You're going to kill me."
!!
Oh no, Long Aotian has misunderstood.
"No..." Su Yunyu wanted to explain, but found that Xiao Shuying was under immense pressure, making it impossible for him to break free.
Oh no! With the Heavenly Child's heaven-defying strength, Su Yunyu immediately felt that her life was in danger. In her panicked state, she frantically searched for a way to exonerate herself.
For some reason, she remembered the system's incredible suggestion, and disregarding everything else, she made up her mind in a flash, raised her hand to wrap around Xiao Shuying's neck, leaned back desperately, and while he was stunned, pressed her lips to his—
It was Su Yunyu who was being choked, but it was Xiao Shuying who was suffering from oxygen deprivation.
As he felt a piercing pain in his heart, he opened his eyes and saw Su Yunyu holding the dagger from his first life, which had been used to cut blood. His consciousness surged, and he thought that Su Yunyu knew his identity as a spirit of the three realms.
Although this was a predictable guess, why did it sting so much on the day it was actually confirmed?
A cool, warm touch came over her lips, and somehow, it felt as if all the raging fire had been extinguished. Without realizing it, Xiao Shuying let go of her hand.
At this moment, she could no longer hold on, nor could she think clearly. Her consciousness was in chaos, and her body was in unbearable pain. Xiao Shuying collapsed to one side.
Su Yunyu hurriedly hugged him, enduring the stinging pain spreading across her neck, and looked at the stunned fairy, asking urgently:
"Can I go in now?"
The fairy finally snapped out of her daze at the bizarre and ambiguous scene before her, looking at Su Yunyu with complicated emotions, and reluctantly nodded.
"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? Kissing is the best way to transfer scents."
So it turns out he got through not because he was suicidal, but because of that final kiss.
Just as Su Yunyu's face was about to contort in anger, System 111 added fuel to the fire:
[If you had listened to me earlier and kissed Long Aotian until he was dizzy and disoriented, you wouldn't have gone down so many wrong paths.]
"roll!"
Panting, Su Yunyu helped the semi-conscious Xiao Shuying into the main hall. Immediately, an extremely rich and pure spiritual energy swirled into Xiao Shuying's meridians.
If Su Yunyu had known there was such a blessed place, where even a dragon vein wasn't necessary, she would have felt even more that she was going down the wrong path.
The meridians within Xiao Shuying's body, which had melted and were waiting to be reshaped by spiritual energy, were now freely reshaping their structure as if they were in water, and the pain on his face finally subsided like a gentle stream.
Seeing this, Su Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, protecting the Dharma while fiercely glaring at him:
That damned Long Aotian, he's so rough, his neck must be red from being choked.
Hmph, once he completely subdues Long Aotian, that will be his good day.
Time flies when you're engrossed in imagining the future.
Two hours later.
The vortex formed by spiritual energy disappeared, and Xiao Shuying slowly opened her eyes. She paused for a moment when she saw the magnificent and cold palace in front of her, and then began to look for Su Yunyu's figure.
But having failed to find Su Yunyu, Xiao Shuying's face darkened. She rose and asked the drifting fairy:
What just happened at the palace gate?
Everything before her eyes felt incredibly illusory, to the point that Xiao Shuying couldn't distinguish whether the things in her memories were real or fake.
Just recalling it made him clench his hands, revealing finger marks on his palms, and his whole body became even more gloomy.
When the fairy saw that he was awake, she floated over and circled around him, unable to resist wanting to get closer, her tone full of smiles:
Don't you remember?
Seeing that Xiao Shuying was only looking at her silently, her thin lips pressed tightly together, her expression growing increasingly cold and fierce, she finally stopped teasing him and waved her hand, releasing a phantom image:
The phantom clearly showed Su Yunyu holding a strange-looking dagger and stabbing it into Xiao Shuying's heart, just as a monster sucked in a drop of blood.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuying's aura grew increasingly cold, until the illusion shifted, transforming into Su Yunyu's bizarre, almost sacrificial kiss...
Xiao Shuying froze, her tightly clenched hands unconsciously loosening. She abruptly turned her head away, unable to bear looking any longer, and quietly changed the subject:
Where is this place, and who are you?
The immortal repeated the explanation he had given to Su Yunyu:
"If I say I don't know either, my existence is the manifestation of this palace, and the reason why the palace exists is like the way of heaven waiting for someone."
As he spoke, the immortal leaned closer again:
"After seeing you, I finally know who Heaven made me wait for."
"..." Xiao Shuying frowned, staring at her as she asked:
Have you said this to Su Yunyu?
Sensing the deeper meaning in his words, the fairy was taken aback at first, then smiled reassuringly:
"Don't worry, I didn't say. But what's your relationship with him? You two seem so strange..."
"Enough," Xiao Shuying interrupted her, just as footsteps approached from outside the hall. He could smell the fragrance of clothes even before seeing the person. As he looked over, sensing something, Su Yunyu strode to his side and placed her hand on his wrist, checking his pulse.
How do you feel?
It was his clear, ethereal voice, as if devoid of emotions and desires, but was that really the case?
Xiao Shuying looked at his handsome face so close to hers, his arched eyebrows and misty eyes, and then at his watery red lips. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pushed away his probing hand, saying sternly:
"Don't touch me!"
Su Yunyu looked at him with some confusion and asked:
"……What's wrong"
Seeing his cold and indifferent gaze, Xiao Shuying's nameless anger subsided, replaced by a surge of irritation.
He actually had to ask him what was wrong? Didn't he know what he had done?
Xiao Shuying first took a deep breath to maintain her persona, then pretended to be confused and rubbed her forehead, saying:
"Master, I saw you stab me in the heart with a dagger..."
I wanted to ask why there was that kiss, but I swallowed the words because of the novelty and shyness.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunyu immediately forgave Xiao Shuying's impetuousness and calmly explained:
"Because I needed to be tainted by your scent, I asked for a drop of your heart's blood. As for that dagger, I truly had no idea it could suck blood..."
No wonder the engravings were so strange; they were actually blood grooves. The original owner was really a scumbag, using such a sneaky thing instead of a proper dagger.
"I see……"
Seeing that Xiao Shuying was still hesitant and seemed to want to say something but couldn't, Su Yunyu was initially confused. It was only when the fairy whispered in her ear that she understood:
Why did you kiss him?
Su Yunyu suddenly realized what was going on. At first, she didn't understand why the fairy hadn't explained this to Long Aotian yet, but then she could only continue without changing her expression:
"As for why I kissed you, it's because I need to be touched by your scent."
In that situation, he was being choked and couldn't speak. What could be more unexpected than a kiss?
Besides, he did need to absorb some of that aura. In short, he did it on purpose.
Just as Xiao Shuying's heartstrings relaxed, she heard Su Yunyu's instructions:
Don't take it to heart.
"..." In an instant, the fire reignited.
What does it mean to "not take it to heart"? Regardless of the motive, is kissing someone really such a trivial matter?
Besides, it's as if he really cares.
Then Xiao Shuying calmly said:
"I see. Thank you, Master, for sacrificing your life for righteousness."
Su Yunyu's lips twitched. Why was this child speaking in such a sarcastic tone?
If the system knew what he was thinking, it would say sarcastically, "You're only realizing this now?"
In any case, this topic has finally been put to rest. Su Yunyu already knew from her examination that Xiao Shuying's meridians had been successfully repaired, and she spoke with a smile as she spoke:
"You will be able to cultivate from now on."
The fairy added:
"Stay for two more days. Your meridians have just been repaired, and you still need the spiritual energy here to nourish them."
Hearing the two say this, Xiao Shuying was surprised to realize that he hadn't remembered this matter at all since he woke up.
All he could think about at that moment was that stab and that kiss.
Upon hearing this, he calmed himself down, first sensing the integrity of his meridians, then slowly tightening his hands and looking at Su Yunyu.
His meridians are now intact, and it won't be long before he recovers to his peak condition from his first life.
In other words, he could kill Su Yunyu very soon.
