In order to make Yu Yi accept him faster, Xue Chenjing deliberately dressed up as a woman.

According to his observation, people are more likely to let down their guard towards beautiful girls, especially when he deliberately got seriously injured, weak and pitiful, so as not to pose any threat to her.

As a result, she kicked him away!

Xue Chenjing stood up from the ground with a gloomy face. He glanced in the direction where Yu Yi escaped and slowly disappeared into the maze.

Several waves of people came to the mountain one after another, all chasing clues about the sword stone that left the mountain. The muddy maze enveloped the entire forest, making everyone who stepped into it lose their way.

Every scene and object in the maze was under Xue Chenjing's control. He knew where Yu Yi was going and could easily find her again.

He didn't even need to look for her. He only needed to move the ground to move the barrier and lead her back to him.

...

On the other side, Yu Yi ran out of the mountain god temple, and soon there was only the barrier that covered the sky and the sun. At a glance, there was a vast white mist in front, behind, left and right. Only the faint shadows of trees could be seen in the white mist, and the sounds of insects and birds were sparse.

When Yu Yi ran out, she was not running randomly. This mountain god temple let her know her current location.

There is a temple here, so there must have been human traces. Where there are human traces, there must be a road. Although the road has been abandoned for many years like the mountain god temple, the road has long been overgrown with weeds and few people walk on it, but there are still traces of artificial excavation.

Walking along the bluestone mountain path, at least you know where you are, which is better than running around in the mist.

When she kicked Xue Chenjing away and ran away, she deliberately looked for the mountain path on the right side of the temple. The thick fog blurred the space and distance. Yu Yi could only count her steps in her mind and stop at the place where the mountain path should appear in her memory.

Sure enough, she found the bluestone stairs under a mess of trees and weeds.

She walked down the stairs for a while and suddenly heard a low groan. Yu Yi clenched the green bamboo sword in her hand, and heard two more "ouch ouch" groans of pain coming from the shadow of a tree in front.

A white-haired old man leaned against a big tree beside the stairs, with a small backpack full of herbs on his right hand.

Is he a herbalist?

Although Yunshan has no spiritual veins and is not a fairy mountain, for ordinary people, this mountain is rich in resources, and some nearby mountain people often go up the mountain to hunt or collect herbs.

After what happened just now, Yu Yi was a little suspicious of this old herbalist. But after thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to step forward.

After all, if he is really an injured herbalist, if he is left here for a night and encounters that devil, the old man may not survive. When the

old man heard her movement, he grabbed the sickle at hand and raised his head in shock and fear.

Yu Yi hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, old man, I am Crane Fairy, the little girl who often wanders around with a red-crowned crane."

Senior Brother He is quite famous in this area. As a result, she also got the beautiful name of "Crane Fairy".

After hearing her words, the old man really put down the sickle in his hand and said gratefully: "Crane Fairy, it's great, I'm lucky to meet you, otherwise I would have to die here."

Yu Yi walked up to him, looking at him and asking about his situation.

The old man hunched his back and raised his face slightly. His skinny face was full of wrinkles. The coarse linen clothes on his body were soaked by the cold mist. He shivered and hugged his arms tightly.

He coughed suppressedly for a while, and when he recovered, he said, "I had already finished collecting herbs, and planned to rest for a night in a shed halfway up the mountain, and then go down the mountain the next day. As a result, the fog became heavier halfway up the mountain, and I accidentally fell and broke my leg. I couldn't move, and it hurt when I moved."

Below this mountain road, there is a small hut halfway up Yunshan Mountain. Hunters who go up the mountain to hunt or herbal farmers who collect herbs will occasionally stay overnight in that hut.

Yu Yi took a look at the old man's right leg, which was simply fixed with branches. A layer of crushed herbs had been applied to the wound, and most of her doubts disappeared.

"This fog is a bit strange, and it's easy to get lost. Old man, I'll take you to the shed first. If the fog dissipates at dawn, I'll take you to the county hospital."

The old man nodded and kept thanking him.

The system was extremely relieved when it saw this scene, and said happily: "I said it, the heroine is kind-hearted and loves to help others, she would never stand by and watch someone die! The previous time must have been a misunderstanding."

Yu Yi paused subtly when he helped the old man up.

The system voice! The system voice again!

The old man picking herbs in front of him must be Xue Chenjing in disguise. This devil is really haunting.

Yu Yi calmed down, pretending to be unaware, helped the old man onto his green bamboo sword, gently lifted him up with the sword, and then led him down the mountain steps.

The handle of the green bamboo sword emitted a bright green flame, emitting a warmth that illuminated the rugged steps of the mountain path.

The system was nagging in Xue Chenjing's ear, saying distressedly: "Master, although this method has allowed you to successfully approach the heroine, you look like you are buried up to your neck in dirt now, how are you going to improve the heroine's favorability? Have a love affair with someone older than you?"

The system sighed quietly. If Xue Chenjing hadn't scared the heroine when they first met, he wouldn't have to change his appearance to get close to her.

How could they be so unlucky to meet the heroine in such a situation.

Xue Chenjing curled his lips silently, he had no intention of improving any favorability.

"Little girl, my legs hurt." Xue Chenjing wailed, turning his head to look directly at the woman next to him.

Under the flickering green flame, the twin wrinkled eyes gradually became clear, and silver-white light overflowed from the pupils. Invisible threads stretched out from his eyes, and the tips swayed and attached to her smooth cheeks, eager to devour her consciousness and turn her into his puppet.

As long as Yu Yi turned her head to look at him.

Boom—

a loud noise exploded in his ears, and Xue Chenjing felt a pain in his head, and his whole brain was shaking. He didn't wait for Yu Yi to look back, but waited for a heavy blow on his head.

Xue Chenjing fell from the green bamboo sword and rolled down the steep stairs uncontrollably.

Yu Yi touched the corner of her eye with lingering fear. There seemed to be a wet feeling there, as if something had crawled over it, which gave her goosebumps all over her body.

She glanced at the person who was rolling down the mountain steps and was covered in thick fog, grabbed her green bamboo sword, and with the help of the power of the spirit sword, ran wildly in the opposite direction along the mountain path.

The system was shocked and screamed, "Master!"

The bone demon quickly descended from the tree canopy and blocked the mountain steps. Xue Chenjing rolled into the arms of the bone demon and finally stopped.

The magic disguise on his body fell away, and his wrinkled skin became smooth and white again. His facial features became three-dimensional and handsome again. The coarse linen clothes on his body also changed in the blink of an eye, turning into a white brocade robe.

Xue Chenjing covered his still shaking head. His chin hit the stairs, leaving a bloody wound deep enough to see the bone. He tilted his head and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. He was so angry that his face was horrible. He shouted viciously: "The ground is dirty!"

White slurry precipitated from the thick fog and shot towards Xue Chenjing like rain, wrapping him up completely. After a while, the white slurry turned into mist, and Xue Chenjing's figure disappeared from the spot.

The mist on this staircase dissipated a lot at once, and the morning light shone through the branches and leaves above his head. It was already dawn.

The bone demon that was left lying on the ground, carefully licked the blood that Xue Chenjing had spilled on the steps. It picked up a tooth that its master had dropped with surprise, and immediately danced with joy. The bones all over its body made a crackling sound, and it raised its hand and threw it into its mouth, chewing it with a crunch.

...

Yu Yi also found that the thick fog had faded, and the morning light fell, dyeing the fog in the forest into a golden honey color.

She held the green bamboo sword tightly, and the light on the sword suddenly became blazing, like a burning fire, and the fire was entangled with snake-shaped streams of light. When the sword was swung down, the air was filled with the sound of subtle explosions, and the green flame sword energy tore through the fog with the power of splitting mountains and cutting seas.

The mist was turbulent, like a curtain being torn apart, with a crack.

Behind the crack was a clear, bright sky.

Yu Yi leaped onto the Green Bamboo Sword and flew towards the crack, trying to break out of the maze.

At this moment, the space above his head was turbulent, and something squirmed out of the air, blocking the crack with layers of overlap. Even the sunlight was distorted inside the thing.

Yu Yi had no time to react, and crashed into a soft and slippery object, as if he had fallen into the cavity of an animal full of soft flesh. Something quickly wrapped around her body, tightly encircling her waist and limbs, and a cold, slippery touch crawled over her skin.

She opened her eyes wide, channeled her spiritual power into her eyes, and used her clairvoyance, but she still couldn't see clearly what was binding her.

The broken mist slowly closed in front of her eyes, and the thick mist submerged her again.

Yu Yi was pulled back, and she vaguely caught a glimpse of a blurry outline in the swaying mist.

That thing looked like countless tangled vines. No, not vines, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a pair of transparent tentacles, soft and smooth, wriggling wetly in the air.

Yu Yi felt a chill on her neck. A tentacle climbed up her neck, grasped her upper and lower jaws, lifted her chin and twisted her head backwards. Yu Yi saw a figure standing on the stone steps behind her from the corner of her eye.

The young man, wearing white clothes and with his hair tied up, looked up at her. His dark hair stuck to his pale skin, and his whole body was damp from the mist, like an ink painting with the ink not yet dried. The only color on the painting was the bright red blood on his lips.

Yu Yi was tied up by invisible tentacles, twisted her body, and was pulled down from mid-air, getting closer and closer to him, until their noses touched and their breaths intersected.

Xue Chenjing raised his hands to hold her face. His palms were as cold and damp as the arms and legs wrapped around her neck. Even the breath he exhaled on her face was cold and damp. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with frost, without any human body temperature.

When he looked up at her from the bottom up, his dark eyes were like two deep wells, and she was falling into the deep wells.

Yu Yi bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain woke her up. She immediately closed her eyes and refused to look him in the eye.

Xue Chenjing's laughter came to her ears. He did not force her to open her eyes, but Yu Yi still saw the pair of strange pupils in front of her eyes. The black irises were wrapped with sharp silver-white vertical pupils, and there was an irresistible magic in the vertical pupils.

Even though she tried to close her eyes tightly, the pair of eyes still appeared in front of her, staring at her without blinking.

Countless tiny sounds began to surge in Yu Yi's mind, rustling and spreading, trying to swallow up her entire consciousness.

——Don't run, you want to stay with me, you don't want to go anywhere, just stay with me and like me

——Like me, like me, like me, like me, like me

Yu Yiman's mind was filled with such thoughts that were forced into her mind, and every nerve was wrapped by his cold tentacles, holding a loud speaker and shouting: Like me, like me, you must like me right now...

Her head was about to explode, and she opened her eyes unbearably and glared at him: "Are you annoying?!"

The voice in her mind paused, and Xue Chenjing seemed to be stunned by her shouting, and his expression was slightly stunned.

However, he was only stunned for a moment, and the silver light in his eyes became even stronger, and he approached her more.

The wave of human voices in Yu Yi's mind surged again, more violently than the last time, trying to tamper with her cognition and make her, like other monsters, a captive at his feet.

Yu Yi gradually discovered that this demon only knew how to shout in her head with a loud speaker, but didn't know what "like" was at all.

It was like he was frantically writing "solution" in her head with a pen, but he didn't even know what the correct answer to the question was. So, although he tried very hard, he could only get zero points.

Yu Yi was annoyed by the noise, but she was not brainwashed by him. She spat impatiently at Xue Chenjing's face, "Bah, I won't like you."

Unless she was crazy, she would like such a monster! So what if she is a paper heroine, and so what if the book says that she should have a happy ending with the villain? She will not let other people's pens control her life. She

can get rid of Pei Jingchao, and of course she can also get rid of Xue Chenjing, so why does she have to choose a boyfriend from the trash can?

Xue Chenjing blinked, and his vertical silver-white pupils shrank into a dot. The confusion in his eyes made him look a little more human.

He didn't understand why this method didn't work for her.

But Xue Chenjing was not a devil who would give up easily. It would be easier and faster to brainwash her into falling deeply in love with him and complete the system task than to go to great lengths to win her favor.

He pinched her face with one hand, and wiped the water marks on her face with the thumb of the other hand. He hooked a piece of silver thread with his fingertips and wiped all the saliva she spit on his face back onto her face.

Yu Yi: “…………”

A cold and slippery tentacle pushed open her lips and drilled into her mouth.

Yu Yi widened her eyes and struggled with a howl. Although she could not see the transparent tentacle, she could clearly feel its presence.

It attached to her neck and jaw, pried open her teeth, and squirmed on her tongue. The tip almost reached into her throat. The thick tentacle opened her mouth and then blocked it tightly.

Xue Chenjing lowered his eyes slightly, and through the transparent soft flesh of her tentacles, he saw that the deep part of her mouth was instinctively twitching and gagging due to the invasion of foreign objects.

The system was already stunned. It advised in disbelief: "Master, this is only the third time you have met. Isn't it a bit too hasty and rude to do this?"

In fact, it wanted to say that it was a bit too perverted.

Xue Chenjing ignored it. He raised his eyes again and stared at Yu Yi's eyes. The invisible threads extending from his pupils were like spores gushing out of mushrooms, penetrating from her seven orifices, and then taking root in the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness, wrapping every nerve.

The loud speaker in Yu Yi's brain began to call again. Xue Chenjing seemed to be determined not to stop until he successfully brainwashed her. In the end, even Yu Yi almost didn't know what the word "like" was.

The green bamboo sword rang continuously under the tentacles, and the green flames on the sword gradually dyed the crowded tentacles green. Fine electric currents flowed everywhere, outlining the shape of tentacles entangled in the air.

Xue Chenjing was shocked by the flowing light on her sword. A strange feeling accumulated higher and higher in his body, pushing him to the top of the invisible wave. The hairs on his body stood up, and every tentacle trembled in the flowing electric current. His

expression was blank for a moment, his eyes widened, his pupils shrank, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, red marks spread from the corners of his upturned eyes to the roots of his ears, veins bulged on his neck, and his breathing became rapid.

The system was shocked. How could this excite her? Its owner was really a little too perverted.

Xue Chenjing's distraction allowed Yu Yi to completely break free from the brainwashing. She glanced inexplicably at the person who suddenly gasped for some reason. Taking advantage of Xue Chenjing's distraction, her hand sank deep into the soft flesh of the transparent tentacle, and she struggled to pinch out a sword technique.

The Qingzhu sword energy suddenly surged and turned into a red-crowned crane with spread wings. Each feather carried a sharp sword light, and the sword light was wrapped in fire, cutting the tentacles tightly bound around Yu Yi.

The red-crowned crane sword shadow spread its wings, let out a long roar, raised its claws, and stepped hard on Xue Chenjing's face. The sharp nails directly scratched the skin and flesh on his face, and even scratched through the facial bones, making a crackling sound of bones breaking.

A series of "bang bang bang" sounds rang out in the air, like the sound of bubbles bursting, the invisible tentacles exploded, and a salty and wet drizzle fell on the steps, pouring on Yu Yi's face and body.

Yu Yi broke free from the restraints, and the tentacles were pulled out of her mouth, pulling out a strand of silver. The tip of the tentacle, warmed by the temperature of the human body, actually showed a faint blush, hanging with shiny saliva, looking like a piece of delicious crystal jelly.

But she knew how tough that thing was, and she couldn't bite it at all. In fact, she was a little afraid to bite it. Xue Chenjing looked like a jellyfish monster, and she remembered that most jellyfish were poisonous!

The sword technique just now exhausted all the spiritual power in Yu Yi's body, and she fell back weakly.

At this time, Senior Brother He rushed out of the woods, grabbed her, and rushed into the woods again, and disappeared.

Xue Chenjing trembled all over, kneeling weakly on the ground, the numbness flowing in his bones was cut off by the severe pain, just like falling from the top of the wave into the deep sea, he covered his face with both hands, crawled on the steps in pain, sobbing, blood oozing from the gaps between his fingers, flowing down in lines.

"Master, are you okay?" the system asked anxiously.

Xue Chenjing's voice was muffled in his palm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with a cruel desire to eat his flesh alive, "Despicable and shameless, and mean means."

The system was at a loss: "???"

After a long while, Xue Chenjing stopped shaking, he straightened up and put down his hands, the claw marks on his face had healed, and the remaining blood was licked clean by the dirt around him.

The system was silent, not daring to say a word.

Xue Chenjing sat there for a moment, stood up, walked slowly up the mountain path, and walked back to the collapsed mountain temple.

The rubble on the ground rolled with his footsteps, and was piled up and inlaid again. The collapsed temple was restored bit by bit, as if time had flowed backwards.

But if you look closely, you can see sticky glue-like threads between the bricks. It's not that time is flowing backwards here, but that the collapsed brick beams are pulled together again by these threads.

The mountain god statue in the temple was smashed to pieces, and colorful rubble fell to the ground.

Xue Chenjing stood in front of the shrine, and the shadows under his feet stretched out his transparent flesh feet, picked up the rubble of the statue piece by piece, moved it to the shrine, and then glued it together with the threads.

Soon, the statue took shape in the blink of an eye. The round body, the entangled limbs, and a large piece of the head were missing.

But there were no painted stones on the ground.

The system said cautiously: "Master, I think you may not have put it together correctly."

It was not only wrong, it was completely unrecognizable. Judging from the strange-looking monsters raised by Xue Chenjing, the system really doubted the preferences of its host.

His preferences seemed to have nothing to do with humans.

Thinking of this, the system became even more worried.

Xue Chenjing stared at the statue in thought for a moment. A howling sound of wind rang out in the void. The arms and legs danced quickly. The mountain god statue on the shrine was quickly disassembled into rubble, and then reassembled after a while.

This time it looked a bit like a human, but no statue would have a big hole in its belly. The colors on his body were messy, and it looked very disharmonious at first glance.

"He really didn't look like this originally." The system said, and showed its host the statue's appearance before it was destroyed. "He has been severely weathered, and his outline has become blurred, but the colors are still very bright. The master can piece together the pieces based on the color blocks on his body."

Xue Chenjing accepted its suggestion, disassembled the statue again, sorted and separated the broken stones according to the colors of the paintings on the stones, and then reassembled them according to the painted lines.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's here, this piece is pieced correctly." The system watched happily for a while, and then reacted belatedly, shouting, "No, no, no, no, we should go chase the heroine now and gain her favorability, instead of playing some puzzle here."

"Master, don't be so messy, Master!"
