Chapter 171
The feeling of beating someone up and then running away was so refreshing. Nan Yan ran away without even looking back.
Jing Wuyan, who was left standing, watched her disappear from the scene, thinking unwillingly in his heart. For the first time, his slightly red face showed a depressed, embarrassed and confused expression. Were the conditions he proposed not superior enough? What could her senior brother bring to her? Why was she unwilling to agree to him?
A rare feeling of annoyance and annoyance welled up in Jing Wuyan's chest. Could it really be because of his age?
But there are countless cultivators of the same age as him in the world of cultivation, including her senior brother. Why can her senior brother do it but he can't?
His appearance was not ugly, and could even be said to be quite good-looking. In the past, many female cultivators in the upper realm had recommended themselves to him just to have a moment of romance with him. Why did she refuse?
Jing Wuyan's eyes dimmed and he let out a breath. He just straightened up and it seemed that something hurt. His expression stiffened inexplicably. He felt a faint pain in the place where she kicked him.
Jing Wuyan gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat resentful but helpless. He couldn't just catch that little girl and beat her up, right? He wondered if her small body would be enough for him to torment her.
When his emotions and physical discomfort had all calmed down, Jing Wuyan turned around and was about to leave when the fat shopkeeper beside him came over with a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist, please stay. Your wife just took the bracelet from our store and hasn't given you the spirit stone yet. Take a look..."
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was very clear. When Jing Wuyan heard the word "Madam", his originally wrinkled brows relaxed slightly. In view of the fact that what the person said was very much to his liking, Jing Wuyan took out a few spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over without hesitation. Although there was no expression on his face, it was obvious that this person was in a good mood today.
On the other side, Nan Yan jogged out of the store, but unexpectedly ran into her senior brother head-on when she turned a corner, and then was picked up into his arms.
Nan Yan didn't know what this man's eyes were like. He was able to catch her in time at such a sudden speed. Wasn't he afraid of mistaking her for someone else?
However, Nan Yan also hugged Senior Brother's thin waist, a happy smile appeared on her rosy face, and her eyes sparkled, "Senior Brother."
The eldest senior brother couldn't help but smiled faintly.
He used his hands to steady her body as she fell backwards, but when he looked down he saw that she was running breathlessly and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Why are you running so fast? Is someone chasing you?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced behind her unconsciously.
Nan Yan grabbed his collar with both hands, a faint smile flashed in her eyes, and her clear eyes reflected the other person's figure, "No one is chasing me, it's because I miss you and want to see you soon, so I can't wait to rush over."
"Brother, do you miss me?"
Nan Yan has always liked to say nice things to please people. After all, saying nice things doesn't cost any money, and it's nice to say a few nice words to make people happy. After all, the truth doesn't sound good.
Sure enough, although the eldest senior brother didn't show any emotion when he heard this, he felt inexplicably happy and tender in his heart. He reached out and pinched the little junior sister's cheek.
"If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have recognized it was you at first glance. Yanyan, don't walk so rashly in the future. It's easy to fall and get hurt."
As he spoke, he took the little sister's fingers again and clasped them tightly, "Okay, let's go, we have bought everything, we should go back."
On the way back, the little sister was still excitedly telling him about how she met a rich idiot in a store today. The idiot flirted with a pretty female cultivator on the street, and was finally hit in the crotch by the pretty female cultivator. His expression was distorted with pain, and he looked so miserable...
The eldest senior brother listened to the younger junior sister's vivid description and thought of the painful area. He felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. Then he saw the eager look that the younger junior sister occasionally cast under him, and he felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
Does his junior sister have any bad ideas?
Feng Jixue quickly changed the subject, his voice slow and gentle, then took his junior sister's hand and returned to the courtyard.
The eldest senior brother has always been very considerate in doing things, especially for this marriage, he made all the preparations, he personally selected the wedding gown and wedding dress, and bought every piece of clothing and jewelry according to the preferences of the younger junior sister.
Back in the house, the little sister was naturally curious. She looked at the bright red wedding dress that was hung up. The dress was embroidered with a popular pattern of the day, with a pair of golden butterflies fluttering among the flowers, shining brightly. Under the light, one could even see the golden butterflies flapping their wings, as if they were alive and dancing in the bushes.
Nan Yan's eyes showed obvious joy. The robes in the world of cultivation were somewhat different from wedding dresses in the mortal world. She held the wedding dress and put it on with great joy.
When she came out from behind the screen, she clearly saw that her eldest senior brother looked a little dazed, staring at her, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Nan Yan turned around in front of him, her face looking even whiter and more charming in the bright red wedding dress, her dark and smooth hair drooping on her shoulders, her eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of clear spring water, and then she threw herself into his arms, tilted her head and smiled coquettishly.
"Brother, do I look good?"
The eldest senior brother was knocked back by her. He lowered his head, staring at the beautiful face so close to him. Suddenly, he felt his heart beating rapidly, and an incredibly soft emotion was fermenting in his chest.
He subconsciously bent his waist and kissed the corner of her eyes. Her warm lips fell on her eyelashes as thin as cicada wings. When she trembled, she gently rubbed his skin, very lightly but very itchy. There was a tingling feeling that uncontrollably penetrated deep into his heart.
The senior brother slowly tightened his grip on her waist, and a gentle smile appeared on his face unconsciously, "You look very beautiful, a little more charming than usual..."
The elder brother relaxed his gaze, and reached out to gently press her head, pressing it tightly against his chest, so tightly that Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable. Then he relaxed his strength a little, "Yan Yan, believe me, no matter what happens in the future, we will be a legitimate couple. No matter what happens, I will stay with you and protect you for the rest of my life."
After hearing this, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. Then she couldn't help but giggle. She naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, then stood on tiptoes and gave him a sweet kiss.
Lin Qingshuang on the other side naturally also heard about the two people's marriage, and she didn't understand why this matter was brought forward so long. According to her memory from her previous life, the time when the two people got married was even after the sect competition, but why did it change so quickly now?
It happened so fast that she even didn't know what to do. She said that she and Senior Brother Feng had completely drawn a line in the sand and would not interfere with each other from now on, but deep down she still hoped that Senior Brother could pay more attention to her. How could she not have a little bit of resentment and resentment towards the man whom she loved to death in her entire life?
She once thought that her rebirth was a blessing from God, but now she realized that she had always been under the control of that man. Although he helped her to be reborn and to cultivate, that man never paid any attention to her from beginning to end, and was even too lazy to say a word to her. He looked down on her and treated her completely as a cultivation tool.
Lin Qingshuang really didn't understand why everyone liked the little junior sister. The eldest senior brother liked her, and even the mysterious man was probably the same. Last time when Su Nanyue was accidentally injured in the market, the man's obvious expression of heartache and guilt, and his attitude that targeted the eldest senior brother for no reason, all showed that the man also had a special liking for the little junior sister, but on what basis?
She was really unwilling to accept it. Why was it that the people she cared about, whether they were people she liked or people who had ulterior motives towards her, all cared about her junior sister without exception?
Why can't anyone care about her?
The world of cultivation also emphasizes auspicious days and all things are appropriate. The wedding day was the ninth day of June, and the whole sect was filled with joy. To be honest, their sect of bachelors had not experienced such a happy event for a long time. Now that they think about it, the last big happy day was the day when the sect leader succeeded to the throne.
But that was nearly a hundred years ago. On weekdays, disciples concentrated on their cultivation and did not dare to slack off. If they slacked off even a little, they would be punished by the eldest senior brother with a sword. They had long forgotten what the jade liquid, spiritual fruits and spiritual food at the wedding banquet tasted like.
Now that the eldest senior brother was going to form a covenant with the younger sister, the two of them could be considered a couple that had finally gotten married. Naturally, everyone in the sect was congratulating them and sending their blessings. It was also the first time that the fellow disciples saw what the eldest senior brother looked like when he wasn't slashing people with a sword while looking stern.
It turns out that Senior Brother is so cool and pure in red. The bright red wedding gown cannot hide Senior Brother's outstanding temperament. There is a clear and transparent feeling between his eyebrows that can see the sun through the clouds. It is true that people are different.
Alas, why don't they look so good in red clothes?
Especially the flirtatious Second Brother, who was dressed more flamboyantly than anyone else, meticulously from head to toe, with countless sachets and purses hanging around his waist. He just had a playboy temperament and looked like someone who deserved a beating. How could he be as popular as the First Brother?
The hair of the junior sister was specially combed by an ordinary woman from the mountain. This was in accordance with the customs of the mortal world. The sect was full of young sisters, and the uncles and senior brothers would not do such things. Naturally, the preparations for the day of the contract had to be grand.
The beautiful and delicate face was reflected in the glass mirror with branches of sparrows. The thin eyebrows were curved like the crescent moon rising in the sky. The little sister's cheeks were painted with a thin layer of rouge, and the light red smudged the corners of her eyes. She was dressed up like a bride in the mortal world.
The junior sister was led to an exquisite and solemn hall. The usually solemn and dignified Qingxin Hall suddenly became lively. There were even red ribbons tied inside the hall, which truly looked like the fairy palace in heaven depicted in the mortal world.
In the hall were the three masters, but not all of them, as there were still many elders in seclusion. Below the hall were the fellow disciples of the master's faction. Nan Yan had sharp eyes and spotted Lin Qingshuang, who was sitting below the main seat, but her expression was obviously not looking good.
Looking somewhat lost, he sat there quietly, staring straight at the tall figure not far away. The cup in his hand was squeezed so tightly that veins appeared on the back of his hand. His aura grew colder, and no one even dared to approach him.
Nan Yan didn't see Jing Wuyan beside her, and she didn't know where that man had run off to. He wouldn't give up so easily, right?
Nan Yan put all these unimportant things behind her. When she looked up, she saw her senior brother walking towards her from the other side. He was wearing the same bright red wedding gown as her, and a red belt with gold thread tied around his slender waist.
Neither warm nor cold, the bright red robe concealed much of his usual cold aura.
The icy immortal was tinged with a hint of worldly fireworks, with a faint red tint at the ends of his eyes and eyebrows, and he was inadvertently dazzled by the strong rouge on his daughter's lips.
Although the marriage ceremony in the world of cultivation is similar to the wedding in the mortal world, it is slightly different. There is no need to perform the kneeling ceremony, but the man and woman need to have a contract and carve each other's names on the contract stone outside the temple with spiritual power. Only after passing this test can the two be considered a true couple and a legitimate couple.
Nan Yan was not quite sure how the bond was made. Feng Jixue held her hand and led her step by step to the center of the hall. She then handed tea to the masters and elders in high positions.
After doing these things, Nan Yan couldn't help but secretly glance at the senior brother beside her. The two looked at each other, and Nan Yan blinked at him subconsciously. Fine light and shadow fell into her eyes, and her eyes moved, bright and shining, and she looked particularly beautiful when she smiled.
The senior brother took her hand, squeezed her palm, and then soothed her gently, "Don't be afraid, I will guide you, it won't be dangerous, slowly let go of your mind, don't resist me, understand?"
The junior sister nodded gently, and the tassel pendant hanging on her cheek swayed slightly twice with her movement, appearing particularly light.
The eldest senior brother's heart softened and a smile appeared on his lips. He slowly raised her hand and slowly and gently mobilized the spiritual power around him to cover the little junior sister beside him.
Nan Yan could clearly feel that it was the unique aura and spiritual power of Senior Brother. Those powers attached to her body, slowly and tentatively wanting to flow into her body like a spring breeze and rain. Seeing this, Nan Yan closed her eyes, let go of her mind, and absorbed the spiritual power gathered by Senior Brother into herself one by one.
As the two people's auras intertwined and blended with each other, and finally merged into one, the stone that had been stored outside the temple also emitted a dazzling and bright light.
Watching the light on the stone grow from weak to strong and then to its most brilliant, just at the moment when the bond was completed -
Senior Brother's slightly cool palm gently and softly touched her brow. Nan Yan felt the caress on his fingertips, the corners of her mouth curved, and then she opened her eyes.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw her eldest senior brother looking straight at her. His eyes contained some complicated emotions, and his dark pupils reflected her face.
This made Nan Yan feel vaguely strange.
But without thinking too much, she subconsciously smiled at the other party, but this time she didn't get a response from her eldest senior brother as usual.
She was confused and wanted to ask him what was wrong? Was there any problem with the bond?
Then she saw her eldest senior brother avoiding her sight somewhat unnaturally.
Feng Jixue frowned slightly, drooped her eyelashes, hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a complicated mood,
"Yanyan, I'm sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Nan Yan could react, he condensed a trace of spiritual power between his fingers and pressed heavily on her brows.
Nan Yan was completely unprepared. At that moment, she only felt a sharp pain at the tip of her eyebrow, as if her skin was pierced by a sharp silver needle, and a drop of blood dripped down.
"Hiss... It hurts! Brother, what are you doing?"
The sudden pain made Nan Yan's eyes turn red instantly. She subconsciously waved away his hand, covered her forehead and took a step back. She stepped back too fast and accidentally fell on the platform behind her.
The bright red wedding dress drew a graceful arc in the air, and the tassel pendant on her cheek also swayed violently with the movement. She stared at the senior brother in front of her with suspicion.
The light on the covenant stone faded, and the covenant ceremony was completely interrupted.
Everyone in the hall was confused and looked at the two people in the center of the hall with bewilderment and suspicion, while discussing in low voices among themselves.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"I don't know, why did Senior Brother stop the bond-making ceremony?"
…
Nan Yan was even more puzzled. She fell quite hard and her hair was scattered. When she raised her head, she saw a small pool of blood between the brows of her senior brother opposite her. Her face turned pale immediately.
She doesn’t know what the senior brother is doing?
Nan Yan looked at the senior brother in front of her with some disbelief. Even though she didn't understand the ceremony of the bond, she knew that it was definitely not the way her senior brother did it, so the expression on her face became even paler and more uneasy.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
When she fell backwards, the senior brother wanted to reach out to help her up, but when he thought about what was going to happen next, he could only forcefully suppress the surging emotions in his heart and preserve the dripping blood intact.
Feng Jixue slowly met Yanyan's gaze, his lips suddenly turning pale. He exhaled lightly and explained in a complicated and difficult tone, "Yanyan, I'm sorry, there's one thing I haven't told you. I've been a love pig."
Love pig?
When Nan Yan heard the voice of her senior brother, her expression was stunned for a moment, but she finally came to her senses and finally responded.
Her eyes fell on the small ball of blood in his palm, and suddenly a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, "What do you mean? What is a love-slave? Senior Brother, isn't today the day we are going to form a bond? Why are you telling me these things?"
Her throat was already a little hoarse when she said this, but she tried hard not to let any sobbing sound come out.
Feng Jixue moved his lips, then looked at her and explained, "Yanyan, a man who is possessed by a love snake will uncontrollably fall in love with the first woman he sees."
He spoke in a low voice, with some reminiscence in his voice, "Do you still remember the time I went down the mountain to subdue a demon a year ago? At that time, I was chasing a phantom demon in the forest and accidentally entered a demon cave. I was bitten by a bug and saw you when I came out. At first, I didn't know I was a love bug. It was not until later in the Qingxu Secret Realm that I discovered this."
"Do you understand what I mean now?"
Nan Yan seemed to finally react after hearing this.
Her eyes fell on the man opposite her, somewhat unable to believe it, but then she thought of how her senior brother had deliberately distanced himself from her some time ago. Was it from that time that her senior brother already knew that she was a love-sucking pig?
So, that's why I was hot and cold towards her during that period?
So the reason why Senior Brother liked her was because he was a love-slut?
Thinking of this, Nan Yan couldn't help but let the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes for a long time fall.
She was unwilling and looked at him with some excitement. "Brother, do you mean that your love for me is all because of being a love pig? How is that possible? I don't believe it. You are lying to me! You are so good to me and you like me so much. How can it be all because of being a love pig?"
Feng Jixue finally couldn't help but stepped forward to help her up, gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I don't know, Yanyan, I don't know now whether my love for you is influenced by the love pig or comes from my heart, but I must free the love pig now."
Hearing this, her emotions finally calmed down a lot. She held his hand tightly with her fingers, full of hope and grievance. "If you want to get rid of the love trap, I can accompany you, but... why didn't you tell me earlier? Why today? Don't you know that today is the day we get married? Don't you know that I will be sad if you treat me like this?"
Feng Jixue's body stiffened slightly, not daring to meet her gaze. Finally, he turned his gaze back, stared at her for a long while, and said in a low voice, "Yan Yan, I'm sorry, the love bond can only be resolved with the blood from the brow of the beloved when the bond is made..."
After saying this, Nan Yan's face turned pale as paper.
Her tears fell blankly as she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, her eyes filled with an inexplicable sadness, her inky black hair was scattered on her cheeks in a messy manner, and her whole body exuded an aura of sadness.
"So you made a bond with me just to get rid of the love snake?"
Feng Jixue met her gaze straight into hers.
At that moment, I felt as if my heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and my breathing was a little suffocated.
He held her fingers tightly with trembling fingers, and there was an unspeakable anxiety in his tone, "No, it's not what you think, I really want to form a bond with you."
Feng Jixue soothed her emotions, "Yanyan, believe me, no matter what the result is after the release of the snake, what I said before is sincere and counts."
"The bond between us will not be invalidated. I will always protect you and watch over you as I did before. There will be no change in our relationship."
Nan Yan shook her head and tears rolled down her eyes again.
There was an expression of indescribable collapse on her face, and her voice was choked with sobs, but she still held his collar tightly and refused to let go, "Then why don't you give up on being a love-slave now? Let's honestly complete the bond ceremony, and I'll pretend that nothing has ever happened between us, okay?"
"You can't abandon me just because of a love pig, brother. I can feel that you really care about me. A love pig won't do anything. It won't become an obstacle between us."
Her eyes were full of tears and her voice was obviously hoarse from crying, which made people feel pity for her for no reason.
After she said this, she looked at him extremely anxiously, afraid to miss any expression on his face.
Feng Jixue was stunned. He looked at Nan Yan crying in front of him, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: what would happen if he didn't untie the snake? But as soon as this thought came up, Feng Jixue was awakened by himself.
No, he has already done this.
If he doesn't get rid of the love snake, he will be controlled by the snake for the rest of his life, and it will be impossible for him to be with his junior sister sincerely. This will become a knot in his heart forever.
Nan Yan was still crying. She cried with grievance and sadness. She carefully buried her cheek in his chest. What was originally a good bond-making ceremony had become like this. "Brother, don't treat me like this. Give up those messy things and let's start over, okay?"
Feng Jixue felt increasingly conflicted.
He really didn't know how to respond to her.
Perhaps sensing his hesitation, Nan Yan hugged him even tighter, "Brother, we are only one step away from becoming a real couple, please don't treat me like this..."
Feng Jixue took a deep breath and slowed down his tone, "Yanyan, don't be like this. I said, even if you untie the love pig, our relationship will not change."
He finally reached out and pried her wrists apart, but the more he struggled, the tighter Nan Yan held on, until in the end she left several long, thin red marks on his back.
"No, no, I don't want it... Feng Jixue, you liar, you have been lying to me from the beginning to the end, tricking me into forming a bond with you, how could you treat me like this?"
Her tears fell uncontrollably. She started crying and accusing him, and ended up begging him aggrievedly, "I've already promised you that you won't care about all this, why won't you give in? Senior Brother, please don't bully me like this..."
Feng Jixue's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he felt a little distressed, but he finally suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said in a low voice, "No, Yanyan, I must untie the love bond, otherwise I can't be with you without any grudges."
After he finished speaking, he let the person go completely.
At that moment, there seemed to be some silence in the hall.
Nan Yan stood there stiffly, just staring at him blankly, watching as a barrier formed around him, blocking her out. She wanted to get closer but was repelled by the barrier.
Nan Yan bit her lip, enduring the tearing pain in her heart, and stared intently at the barrier surrounding him. When she wanted to rush forward regardless, she was held down by several senior brothers and sisters beside her.
"Okay, Junior Sister, we know you were wronged this time, but these are just small matters. Do you really want Senior Brother to be trapped by this knot in his heart forever?"
There were voices of discussion all around, and some scolded her for being immature. "Yes, little sister, please stop making trouble. Senior Brother is a love-sick person, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"If you don't understand the meaning of love, I'm afraid that Senior Brother's cultivation will stagnate in the future. Can you please stop being so willful?"
"That's right, it's just a love pig. Senior Brother himself said that after the love pig is untied, the contract between you and him will still be valid. Why are you so persistent?"
…
Nan Yan listened to these discussions and her tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string. She cried until her face turned pale, but her heart was not moved at all. She even found it ridiculous.
Obviously, it was their good senior brother who deceived people in the beginning, but why did she become the unreasonable one in the end?
Is it because Feng Jixue promised that he would be responsible for her no matter what the outcome after the release of the snake? But does she care about that belated responsibility?
