From what Chen Ye said, this fairy lady isn't very scary.
But Ye Ze still did not relax and was on guard.
The Qilian Mountains are rich in spiritual energy. This fairy lady has been practicing at the foot of the mountain for two hundred years. It’s frightening just to think about it.
"Really, there's no need to be afraid." Chen Ye hugged his man's arm. "Besides, you're here. You're a man blessed by heaven. The purple energy on your body is enough to hurt her. If things don't work out, there's still the little golden dragon. When the time comes, all you have to do is shout, and it will come to help."
This old woman's strength is not very strong, but she has a touch of immortal spirit and thinks she is very powerful.
He felt that his man was really worried about him, so he carried the little golden dragon out.
Ye Ze lowered his eyes and looked at him.
Chen Ye nudged the man's shoulder: "Don't frown. I was just kidding you. In fact, I can press this fairy lady to the ground and rub her with just one finger... Why don't you believe me?"
Ye Ze touched his face and finally spoke, saying softly, "I believe you."
Chen Ye was satisfied. He smiled and kissed him, then turned to look at Ning Shihua and Auntie Three: "Do you know why this old woman favors boys over girls? It's because she has lived for two hundred years. She lived in a society that favored boys over girls. She was sold to a wealthy family as a maid by her family and was almost beaten to death by her master... Even though her life has improved since then, she still thinks women are inferior in her heart because that's how she lived."
Ning Shihua and Third Aunt looked at each other without saying anything.
When they heard Chen Ye say that the fairy lady had lived for two hundred years, they were a little surprised at first, but they soon accepted the fact and did not suspect that Chen Ye was lying.
As for Ning Shihua, she had long suspected that the fairy lady was old. After all, the fairy lady looked like this when she was a child. Decades had passed, and she had not aged at all. This meant that the fairy lady must have concealed her age.
As for Third Aunt, she was also a local, in her sixties, older than Ning Shihua. She couldn't remember when the Fairy Lady had come to live in the town. She only remembered that she was alone, living with her daughter. Thinking about it carefully, the Fairy Lady's appearance hadn't changed at all. Even her daughter had remained around thirty years old...
This is too weird!
And Aunt San suddenly realized that no one in the town seemed to notice anything unusual about the fairy lady and her daughter.
Chen Ye glanced at Third Aunt's face and explained, "The Immortal Lady has cultivated herself and deliberately blurred the identities of herself and her daughter. You are mortals, so of course you can't notice it."
Third Aunt suddenly realized that it was no wonder that everyone accepted the appearance of the fairy lady and recognized her status as a matter of course. The fairy lady must have brainwashed them.
"She did brainwash you so that you wouldn't doubt her background. But in other aspects, she didn't brainwash you. For example, Ning Shihua's parents forced her to get married because they really wanted her to get married. So even though they knew that the talisman paper would bring sequelae to Ning Shihua, they still made her drink the talisman water." Chen Ye looked at the third aunt again, "And you, you also think it doesn't matter whether your daughter studies or not, so you let her drop out of school."
Aunt San lowered her head a little uncomfortably when Shen Ye said what she was thinking.
Ning's parents sighed and didn't refute Shen Ye, but they didn't think they had done anything wrong. In their opinion, forcing Ning Shihua to get married was also for her own good. Now Ning Shihua is a movie queen, with unlimited glory, and she thinks it's fine not to get married. But when Ning Shihua gets old, she will experience the pain of being childless. If they weren't Ning Shihua's parents, they wouldn't worry about her.
Shen Ye saw what Ning's father and mother were thinking and couldn't help but sneer.
Parents and children are independent. Why should their children be what they think they should be? They think their ideas are correct, but in fact they are just imposing their ideas on their children.
Take pension for example. Ning Shihua is not even forty years old yet. By the time she is old, the pension system will probably be well-developed, and she won’t have to worry about being bullied by Mr. Hu at all.
But Shen Ye did not say anything, but decided to wait until the fairy lady was dealt with before helping Ning Shihua solve her parents' problem.
The fairy placed her hands on the table and looked at Shen Ye coldly: “You are really amazing. You can even see that I was sold to be a maid.”
Chen Ye said: "What's so difficult about this. You have been using this body all the time, so of course I can calculate your experiences over the past two hundred years through your face."
Upon hearing this, the fairy's expression changed.
She had indeed not changed her body in the past two hundred years, but she had concealed her appearance and experience, so other Taoists could not tell her origins at all.
But Shen Ye in front of him could see through her easily.
She supported herself on the table and slowly stood up: "You are so capable. Once I absorb your cultivation, I will definitely be even more powerful."
Shen Ye smiled: "That depends on whether you have the ability."
The fairy lady stared at him coldly, then turned to Ye Ze: "The one next to you looks very powerful too. Wait until I have swallowed up all the power from both of you. Then I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs. Let's see how you can still show off!"
She couldn't see the purple aura on Ye Ze, but she could feel that the aura on Ye Ze was very suitable for cultivation. She originally just wanted to devour Shen Ye's cultivation, but now that there was another prey that had fallen into her trap, she certainly wouldn't let it go.
Of course, Shen Ye couldn't be frightened by her, so he smiled and said, "Chop it up and feed it to the dog. That's a good idea."
The fairy slammed the table and said, "You are still smiling even when you are about to die!"
As she slammed the table, a cold wind blew into the main room, followed by a powerful sense of oppression that came over her like a tidal wave.
Not only Shen Ye, but others also felt this pressure.
Ning Shihua's family and Third Aunt were all mortals. They could not bear this oppression and all of them covered their chests in pain.
Shen Ye's expression suddenly turned cold. He took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and waved his hand to block the cold wind.
With his counterattack, the situation of Ning Shihua's family and Third Aunt was alleviated.
At the same time, the fairy was hit back by his power, and she flew backwards and hit the wall with a loud noise.
"You don't know your own limitations." Shen Ye sneered.
He ignored the fairy and turned around to set up a barrier to protect Ning Shihua and others.
In this way, no matter how he and the fairy fight, they will not be hurt.
Ye Ze was also drawn into the barrier by Chen Ye.
His eyes were dark and deep as he looked at Shen Ye.
Chen Ye knew that the man wanted to work with him to deal with the fairy lady, but the fairy lady's ability was stronger than those Taoist priests before. Although he was confident that he could protect Ye Ze, and the purple energy on Ye Ze's body could also allow Ye Ze to protect himself, he was still a little worried about what to do if he lost control.
He was not willing to let men take risks at all.
So he said to Ye Ze with a smile: "Uncle, you have to help me watch over Ning Shihua and the others. The purple energy on your body can resist the attacks of the Taoist priests. With you by their side, even if the barrier is broken, Ning Shihua and the others will be safe."
Ye Ze still looked at him deeply without saying a word.
Shen Ye: “…”
The look in her husband's eyes is so scary, it's obvious that he is lying.
“I… I’m just afraid that you’ll get hurt… This old woman has fairy energy on her body, and I haven’t figured out whether the fairy energy will affect the purple energy on your body, so I don’t dare let you face her directly.” Shen Ye honestly expressed his concerns.
Ye Ze finally responded this time and asked softly, "What about you? Are you in danger?"
Knowing that the man was worried about him from beginning to end, Shen Ye felt sweet in his heart and shook his head gently: "There is no danger. The fairy energy on her body was brought by me and Xiao Jinlong. With this layer of cause and effect, the fairy energy on her body cannot hurt me."
Ye Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "That's good."
Seeing the man worried about him like this, Shen Ye wanted to rush over and hug the man and kiss him hard.
But the more important thing now is to get rid of the fairy lady. When things are over, he and Ye Ze will return to the imperial capital and have plenty of time to be affectionate.
Shen Ye turned his head and looked at the fairy lady.
The fairy was still lying on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. A hole was knocked open in the wall of the main hall behind her, and the broken bricks that fell down hit the fairy's legs.
Shen Ye: “…”
He thought this fairy lady was so powerful, but it turns out she couldn't even withstand a single one of his attacks?!
Just as he was surprised, he suddenly felt as if there was a thousand pounds pressing down on his head, and another powerful yin energy attacked him.
This time the cold wind was like a rope, a fusion of formations and inscriptions, it was going to tie up Chen Ye!
"What a great technique to imprison the immortal!" Chen Ye was not afraid either. He went straight forward, grabbed the rope formed by the dark wind with his hand, and then pulled it hard.
The ropes suddenly roared as if the sea was flooding back. The overwhelming momentum was terrifying.
If it were an ordinary Taoist priest, even if he had the ability to resist this gloomy wind, he would probably be frightened by its momentum.
But Shen Ye was obviously not an ordinary Taoist priest, so how could he be afraid?
He lightly made a hand gesture, and soon a white sword composed of his mental power appeared in his hand, sweeping directly towards the center of the dark wind.
The rope formed by this dark wind is itself a formation, with the center of the formation at the center of the dark wind. However, this dark wind is vast and boundless, like a vast ocean, and it is very difficult to find the center of the formation.
What's more, there are inscriptions floating everywhere in the gloomy wind, which can resist the attacks of magic weapons and protect the core of the formation.
Fortunately, Chen Ye was a genius in formations and had some experience in weapon refining. These inscriptions were vulnerable to the sharp sword, and in less than a moment, the sword found the center of the formation.
Shen Ye concentrated his mental strength and controlled the sharp sword to stab towards the center of the formation.
The next second, the gloomy wind completely disappeared.
The fairy rolled back and forth on the ground, blood gushing out of her heart.
Shen Ye walked up to her and stared at her condescendingly: "You are quite powerful. You actually turned your spiritual consciousness into a formation and used your spiritual consciousness against me. If my cultivation level was only slightly higher than yours, I would definitely have been defeated by you."
That gust of cold wind was the fairy's consciousness, and the fairy placed her formation in her consciousness, which turned into a rope. When she met an opponent with higher cultivation than her, she could use the fairy-imprisoning technique to defeat the opponent directly.
If Shen Ye hadn't been so powerful, he would have been captured by this dark wind long ago.
From this perspective, this fairy lady can be considered a genius in cultivation.
It’s a pity that I ran into Shen Ye.
She coveted Shen Ye's cultivation and Ye Ze's purple energy, and was doomed to fail.
Who says these two are the favorites of heaven?
The fairy's heart was the center of the dark wind and the center of the formation. It was pierced by Chen Ye's sword. Now she was bleeding profusely and almost fainted.
Hearing Shen Ye's words, the fairy lady stared at Shen Ye unwillingly, with a gloomy and resentful light in her eyes.
Chen Ye was not afraid of her. He calmly cast a talisman on her heart: "I look down on your cultivation level. I should have killed you immediately, but the immortal energy in your body cannot be leaked. I will save your life for the time being."
He planned to hand the fairy lady over to the little golden dragon, let the little golden dragon extract the fairy energy from the fairy lady, and then make the fairy lady's soul fly away.
The fairy lady has been practicing for two hundred years and has devoured many fellow Taoist priests. What's more, she is still dominating the town. Such a scourge must not be allowed to stay.
Shen Ye used magic to tie her up so that she could no longer cause any trouble. Then he walked back to Ye Ze and removed the barrier.
Ye Ze immediately grabbed his hand.
Shen Ye held the man tightly with his backhand, leaned forward and kissed him: “See, I told you, I’ll be fine.”
Ye Ze gently stroked his face with his fingertips without saying a word.
"I'm really fine." Chen Ye knew that the man had been worried about him just now. He was gentle with the man for a long time. Until the man's mood improved, he whispered, "Can you call Xiao Jinlong? I need Xiao Jinlong's help with something."
Ye Ze didn't ask him what he was going to do, and just responded softly.
About five minutes later, the little golden dragon came.
"Master, Mr. Shen Ye, are you in danger?" The little golden dragon was working tirelessly to purify Dahe Village. When it was called here by Ye Ze, it immediately smelled the blood in the air. It couldn't help but feel a little worried and circled around Ye Ze and Shen Ye.
Shen Ye: "...We are fine, stop spinning around, I feel dizzy."
"Oh." The little golden dragon was very well-behaved. It stopped moving immediately and just hovered above Ye Ze and Shen Ye's heads.
Although it was the king of the dragon clan, it had just reached adulthood and was relatively simple-minded. Since it had recognized Ye Ze as its master, it was quite friendly towards Ye Ze and Shen Ye.
"Not bad, very obedient." Shen Ye muttered, thinking that he was going to squeeze the little golden dragon again, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
But he was in a hurry to return to the imperial capital to attend the engagement party of Shen Shimu and Zong Yiming, and he had no time to stay to deal with the fairy energy on the fairy lady, so he could only ask the little golden dragon for help.
So he expressed his thoughts.
After listening to this, Little Golden Dragon sighed: "I feel like you are exploiting and enslaving me."
Shen Ye: “…”
When these two things are put together, there is indeed suspicion of exploitation.
Shen Ye used magic to conjure up a hand and touched the little golden dragon’s head: “But you have already recognized my husband as your master, so you can only be obedient.”
As he said that, he looked at Ye Ze.
Ye Ze: "Yeah."
Shen Ye went to look at the little golden dragon again: "Look, your master has spoken."
Little Golden Dragon: “…”
It feels so miserable.
But what else can it do? It has to recognize this person as its own master even if it cries.
"Okay, I'll take her away." The little golden dragon said with its head drooping.
Shen Ye touched its head with his conjured hand again: "So good."
Ye Ze stared at the hand silently, then tightened his grip on Shen Ye’s fingers.
“…”
Shen Ye was shocked. Would his man even be jealous of this?
He was using an imaginary hand! It was just a handful of air!
"I understand. I won't touch you again." Under the man's dark eyes, Shen Ye blew away the fingers that appeared in the illusion into the air, then looked at the little golden dragon very seriously and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Ze listened to his serious tone and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Chen Ye couldn't do anything about her husband's jealousy, but she also thought men were so cute.
He couldn't help himself and leaned forward to kiss the man hard.
Ye Ze laughed softly and held the back of his head.
The little golden dragon covered his eyes with his claws: "Here it comes again, here it comes again..."
Of course, Shen Ye was not shy. He kissed Ye Ze openly and then got down to business with a smile on his face.
He cast a spell and destroyed the fairy's cultivation.
The fairy turned into a skeleton visibly, but the white fairy energy was still attached to the skeleton.
Little Golden Dragon didn't want to stay and eat dog food, so he immediately said, "I'll take her away!"
As he said this, he hooked the skeleton with his two front paws and grabbed it and took it away.
Soon the little golden dragon disappeared.
Ning Shihua's family and Third Aunt watched with their own eyes as Chen Ye beat the fairy lady to the ground, and the fairy lady rolled over and vomited blood.
That would be fine, but just now they... seemed to have seen a golden dragon?!
...That's a dragon!
Even Ning Shihua was stunned by the appearance of the little golden dragon.
While Shen Ye was talking to Xiao Jinlong, the four of them all raised their heads and stared at Xiao Jinlong blankly.
When they heard the little golden dragon speak human language, they were so shocked that they held their breath.
Afterwards, they watched helplessly as the fairy turned into a skeleton and was captured by a golden dragon...
The four people were still in shock until the golden dragon disappeared.
Shen Ye shook his head and used magic to sober them up, saying, "The fairy lady cast an illusion on your town. Now her cultivation has been abolished. Your town will soon return to normal and she will no longer affect you."
The four people slowly reacted.
Auntie San was the most excited, staring at Chen Ye eagerly: "So you really are the master... By the way, was that a dragon just now? Oh my god, I actually saw it... Am I going to get lucky? I just knelt down to pay my respects..."
Shen Ye interrupted her: “If you treat your daughter well, you will be lucky.”
When talking about her daughter, Third Aunt's expression froze.
Chen Ye: "Now that you believe in my ability, you should also believe in the fortune I give you. Your son is unreliable in this life, so you have to rely on your daughter."
Third Aunt didn't look well.
For someone like her who favors boys over girls, she would definitely be unhappy if she heard that her son is not as good as her daughter.
But she had seen Shen Ye's ability and knew that she couldn't show her unhappiness, so she forced a smile: "Yes, yes, I remember it."
"You'd better be nice to your daughter, otherwise you'll be miserable in your old age." Shen Ye stared at her, "Don't disbelieve me, I've never made a mistake in my life!"
Auntie San was intimidated by Shen Ye's aura and could only respond hesitantly: "I... I understand..."
Aunt San was very excited after seeing the real dragon just now, and wanted to ask her if she could go and worship the real dragon.
Now that she was frightened by Shen Ye, she didn’t dare to say anything more. She forced a smile and said, “I have something else to do. I’ll leave first… Master, thank you.”
After saying that, he ran away without leaving any reward.
Of course, Chen Ye didn't care about the reward. He just asked for it because he met his third aunt and sympathized with her daughter's situation. It didn't matter whether he was paid or not for such a small matter.
As soon as Third Aunt left, only the three members of the Ning family were left in the room.
Ning Shihua looked at Shen Ye excitedly and said, "Thank you!"
If Shen Ye defeats the fairy lady, she will no longer instigate her parents and she won’t have to be afraid of them anymore.
Chen Ye glanced at her and said, "I suddenly remembered something. You still remember that when Mr. Shi asked me to tell the fortunes of your company's artists, you had insomnia at that time, so I gave you some talismans."
Ning Shihua nodded and asked curiously, "Could it be that the fairy lady is responsible for my insomnia?"
"That's not it." Chen Ye said, "I felt strange at the time. With my talisman paper, how could you be tricked by the fairy lady's talisman paper and even drink the talisman water... Now that I think about it, the fairy lady must have been targeting me at that time. The talisman paper I gave you was very ordinary, and she used a more powerful talisman paper to deal with you, which attracted my attention..."
Ning Shihua: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you and Mr. Ye are being targeted by the fairy lady."
"It's not your fault. She's already set her sights on me. Even if she didn't use you, she would have used someone else to lure me to Qi County." Chen Ye shook his head and changed the subject, "Now let's solve your problem."
Ning Shihua's face suddenly became serious.
Shen Ye looked at Ning's father and mother: "Do you still want to force her to get married?"
Ning's father and mother looked at each other in silence, but it was obvious that they had not changed their minds.
Chen Ye sneered and said to Ning Shihua, "I'm very accurate in reading faces, but I've never told you about your marriage. Do you know why?"
Ning Shihua shook his head.
"Because your marriage line keeps changing."
Ning Shihua hesitated and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean."
When Chen Ye mentioned Ning Shihua's marriage, Ning's father and mother also pricked up their ears. They really hoped that Chen Ye would say that their daughter would marry a good man.
Chen Ye: "Before your parents made you drink the talisman water, your marriage was very good. When you are 42 years old, you will meet a good man, marry him and have children, and you will live a happy life for the rest of your life."
"Is...is that so?" Ning Shihua was stunned for a moment.
She certainly didn't reject marriage, but she never thought she would actually get married and have children...
Ning's father and mother's reaction was even more intense. When they heard that their daughter would meet a good man, get married and have children, they immediately showed expressions of ecstasy.
"Xiaohua, your parents won't force you to get married anymore!" Ning's mother immediately grabbed Ning Shihua's hand and said with a smile, "You are 38 years old now. In four years, you will meet your soulmate. Mom is so happy... really happy..."
Ning Shihua looked stiffly at her hand being held by her mother, not knowing how to react.
Chen Ye glanced at Ning's father and mother and sneered, "Don't be too happy too soon."
The three members of the Ning family looked at him together.
"After you forced Ning Shihua to drink the talisman paper, Ning Shihua's thoughts changed. She didn't want to be forced into marriage. She was even sulking, thinking she could live well on her own. Because of her change in mood, her marriage destiny also began to change. She will remain single in the future. Even if she meets her soulmate at the age of 42, she will reject his pursuit and end up living alone." Shen Ye said.
As Shen Ye's words fell, Ning's father and mother were struck by lightning, standing there in amazement, without making any movement for a long time.
Ning Shihua was also a little surprised.
She didn't doubt Chen Ye's fortune-telling, but was surprised at how accurate it was... She had thought before that since her parents insisted on her getting married, she would resolutely not get married. She wanted to prove that she could live a good life even without getting married...
"Then...then we won't force her...can she get married?" Ning's mother looked at Shen Ye in despair and asked in a crying voice.
Shen Ye scoffed, “It’s too late.”
This was of course meant to scare Ning's father and mother, but Shen Ye really didn't like seeing them being so stubborn.
