Fortunately, the house ahead was not far away. As soon as they stepped under the eaves of that house, heavy rain began to fall.
This house looked tall and large, and the houseyard covered a large area. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary house, but a summer residence for a wealthy family.
Xue Mingyuan went forward and knocked on the door three times. Soon, a doorman answered and opened a narrow slit in the side door. After listening to their purpose, he asked them to wait for a moment, and he went back to report to the steward of the other courtyard.
The mortals were quite respectful to the cultivators. Knowing that the two cultivators were staying overnight, the steward immediately led a few servants to greet them, opened the door, invited the two into the courtyard, warmly arranged the guest rooms, and took care of everything before leaving.
They lived in the same guest house, one in the east wing and one in the west wing. The thunder and lightning in Yu Yi's body had not yet disappeared, and he meditated after entering the door. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
Senior Brother He was paralyzed on the soft couch in front of the window, with his long neck resting on the window sill, watching the heavy rain falling outside.
The landscaping of this guest house was very beautiful, with a small garden in the middle, and a small pond under the rockery. Several carps with bright scales in the pond were beaten by the rain and hid under the caves of the rockery. From time to time, lightning would illuminate the entire courtyard, illuminating the scales of the carps under the rockery.
Senior Brother He stared at the fish with his black bean eyes, and saliva dripped from his sharp beak, faster than raindrops falling.
Xue Mingyuan leaned against the window, and could see the person sitting cross-legged on the couch with her eyes closed in meditation through the
slit in the window on the top of Senior Brother He's head. Occasionally, electric arcs flashed across her body, pulling up the strands of hair on her temples, and her profile under her hair was coated with the flickering candlelight in the room. Her features were soft and beautiful, and the lines of her forehead, nose, and lips were just right. Even if the rain curtain blocked it, it was difficult to conceal the beautiful scenery leaking out of the slit in the window.
Xue Mingyuan pressed his chest and felt the heartbeat under his palm again. He asked curiously: "System, please tell me what her favorability is?"
The system responded, "Master, the favorability of the current target of the strategy is 68%."
Xue Mingyuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was so high.
Could it be that he had misjudged Yu Yi? He had thought that she would be the type that would be hard to impress. The last time they met, she was clearly still very wary of them. She seemed to be covered in a hard shell, resisting their closeness.
At that time, Xue Chenjing was like a trapped beast, unable to find a way out.
During this period, what did Xue Chenjing do to impress her?
Xue Mingyuan supported his forehead with one hand, leaning on the windowsill, his eyelashes wet by the splashing rain mist, and in the other hand he held a cherry-colored handkerchief, on which the fragrance of ointment still remained.
He stroked the embroidery on the handkerchief with his fingertips and asked politely, "Can you tell me what happened between them after I returned?"
The system was threatened with death by Xue Chenjing every day, and finally waited for the gentle side of the host. It heard Xue Mingyuan's gentle question and replied happily, "Of course, my master."
The heavy rain hit the half-dried banana leaves in front of the courtyard, crackling, and the rain curtain blocked this square little world.
Xue Mingyuan looked at the circle of withered yellow on the edge of the leaf, formed a seal with his hands, and sent a little spiritual power into it. The withered yellow edge of the leaf gradually stretched out under the nourishment of the spiritual power, and glowed with new green again.
The rainstorm had been falling for half a night, and there was no sign of stopping. The red-crowned crane opposite was tired of watching the fish, and fell asleep with its head resting on the window sill. The person in the house digested all the thunder and lightning in his body, took off his hairpin, and let his long, smooth hair fall down, ready to fall asleep.
Xue Mingyuan listened to the system's detailed report, and when it mentioned the novice tutorial, he asked it to call out the novice tutorial panel.
The last time Xue Chenjing opened the novice tutorial, the mission progressed to the third stage, the 30th to 60th day of the Hundred Days Plan.
"Become the 'indispensable' existence in the hearts of the target of the strategy." Xue Mingyuan whispered the instructions in the tutorial, thinking.
Listening to the system report, during this period, his brother did not seem to do anything earth-shattering or impressive.
Yu Yi entered the Daqingshan Sword Realm and accepted Ming Zhaojun's inheritance. In the Sword Realm, she saw him in his previous life dissecting his inner demons and killing Xue Chenjing again and again. She was not afraid, but her favorability increased.
Could it be because she had compassion for him?
If so, it is understandable that their relationship has made such great progress. When she began to feel compassion, her defenses were easily opened.
However, is it so easy to grow love from a compassionate heart? Is she such an easily moved person?
Xue Mingyuan thought while flipping through the novice tutorial.
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
[100-day strategy plan, sixty to eighty days: When you have successfully become the "indispensable" existence in the heart of the target, then the next step is to leave the target and let him deeply experience the despair and pain of losing you.
The best recommended reference: fake death, escape from death.
Note: This novice gift pack is equipped with fake death potion, please use it with caution at the right time. ]
Xue Mingyuan laughed. This novice tutorial really knows how to control people's hearts.
However, it seems that his brother has not yet fully achieved the third stage of achievement. In comparison, the person who is crying in the depths of his heart is more desperate and painful, and his downfall can be seen at a glance.
Xue Mingyuan stared at the window opposite, and the thoughts in his mind were like the rain beads outside the window, which were born and died.
The system could only occasionally capture a little of his thoughts. Seeing that he was thinking more and more deeply, it suddenly called out: "Master."
Xue Mingyuan was interrupted by it, and quickly dispersed his thoughts, letting the rain scene in front of him occupy his mind, and responded: "Hmm?"
The system was stuck for a moment, and emphasized: "The host has indeed made great progress in the strategy during this period of time. They have already had very intimate actions."
Xue Mingyuan did not get angry because of the system's interruption, and replied gently: "Well, you said it."
Once was in the sea of sinking flowers, because she lost control because she swallowed his essence and fire. Once was behind the Moon God Temple, Yu Yi did not push him away immediately. So, she must have a good impression of him.
Xue Mingyuan couldn't help but feel curious, and asked, "Can't the favorability be separated? She should feel different towards me and Chen Jing, right?"
The system didn't expect that Xue Mingyuan would make the same request. It said in embarrassment, "Sorry, Master, you are born as a chaotic entity, and you are the same person in the system's judgment, so the calculation of favorability cannot be separated."
Xue Mingyuan nodded and accepted the answer calmly. He was not as furious as Xue Chenjing, who had to insult the system to vent his anger.
"So, in the end, we are the two who are with her?" Xue Mingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and laughed softly, not knowing whether he felt it was absurd or not, "How could Chen Jing agree? Would he accept me for her?"
Xue Mingyuan really couldn't imagine it.
The system couldn't answer this question either. It was originally just a female protagonist system. As long as it assisted the female protagonist in defeating the villain, it would be considered to have completed the mission.
In the original novel, they were two different sides of the same person. As for who the female protagonist was with inside the body, whether it was Xue Chenjing or Xue Mingyuan, or both at the same time, it didn't matter.
In the east room, Yu Yi walked to the window, gently took down Senior Brother He's head from the windowsill, lifted half of its wings, and helped it put its head back under its wings.
Senior Brother He hummed and slept soundly.
She reached out to hold the window, and suddenly she felt someone was watching her. She looked out through the crack of the window, and was looking at the window of the west wing. The window was hidden behind a large banana leaf, and was also half open. There was a little candlelight in the window. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
Xue Mingyuan hadn't slept yet.
Yu Yi sat next to Senior Brother He, touched its feathers, reached out to take a piece of paper from the table, and picked up a pen to write. In the five years in the bamboo forest secret realm, she imitated her master's handwriting and practiced calligraphy with her heart. The words she wrote had a sword-like pen tip, which was quite impressive.
Her doubts during the day were not solved, and both of them were still awake, so it would be better to ask clearly.
The people who set up the formation in the forest are Yuanying monks. They should not be so easy to send away or get rid of. If they are enemies, it would be too dangerous to hide and follow them in the dark.
Of course, it would be best if Xue Mingyuan or Xue Chenjing solved the opponent on the spot, but from the look on his face after she broke the formation, it didn't look like he had solved the opponent.
Yu Yi wrote down the question and originally wanted to fold it into a paper crane, but the paper crane was too complicated, so she simply folded it into a simple paper airplane shape and flew out of the window.
The paper airplane was wrapped in a ball of spiritual energy, fluttering through the heavy rain. The raindrops hit the spiritual energy wrapped around it, striking out points of spiritual light, dragging its long tail across the banana leaves and flying into the window behind the leaves.
The figure projected on the window raised his hand and caught the paper airplane.
Xue Mingyuan held the paper airplane, looked at it back and forth, and carefully opened it. The paper asked about the maze in the forest when he was in Fengsheng County. If someone set up a formation specifically to deal with him, why did they disappear after she broke the maze.
She did not continue to ask about Xue Chenjing's situation.
Xue Mingyuan picked up the pen and wrote: "It's not an enemy, but an old friend." He paused for a long time before continuing to write, "Chenjing is fine, not injured."
This was not a lie. Xue Chenjing was just bound by telekinesis, and his soul was not injured.
After finishing writing, Xue Mingyuan put down his pen, folded the paper again along the crease, and threw it out the window.
Yu Yi received the reply, unfolded it and read the answer on the paper, and murmured softly: "Old friend?"
She moved her eyes to the next line of words and read it for a while. According to the system, the truth mode also constrained Xue Mingyuan, and he should not lie to her.
So is this old friend their parents? Xue Chenjing is under the power of his parents, so he can't get out for the time being?
Yu Yi remembered that Xue Chenjing once muttered angrily in her ear, saying that his courtesy name did not come from "South there is a dragon in the mountain", but because of Xue Mingyuan.
His parents missed him too much, so they gave him the name "Qiao". Yuan means deep and broad, and Qiu means low and deep. His parents always wanted him to change back to Mingyuan.
He seemed to have asked her in her ear whether she wanted him to change back.
At that time, Yu Yi was affected by the strange air in Yinzhou City, and her mind was not very clear. She only remembered that he was spinning around in front of her, saying a lot of words in a bad mood, and he was as pitiful as a homeless stray dog.
So she touched him and teased him.
Yu Yi turned her head to look out the window. The sound of rain outside was gradually weakening, and the rain had stopped. The lights in the west wing were still on, and the figure by the window did not move.
Senior Brother He didn't know what he was dreaming about, and he made a dull cry under his wings. Yu Yi was startled by it, turned around, raised her hand and patted it to comfort it.
She stroked Senior Brother He's feathers, looked back at the paper in her hand, and suddenly realized that she had no right to sympathize with others. Wasn't she even more homeless? In this strange and alien world, she only had a bird to keep her company.
Yu Yi did not deny that compared to the beginning, she had indeed been "conquered" by Xue Chenjing. Her defenses had already cracked under his persistent erosion, and he took advantage of the opportunity to enter and occupy a place.
However, this was not enough to make her want to take the initiative to get involved in their dispute. Xue Mingyuan and Xue Chenjing had been entangled since they were in Daqing Mountain. Their fight lasted for hundreds and thousands of years, and no one had won. In the final analysis, this was their own business, and there was no room for others to interfere.
If she walked up to Xue Mingyuan and said, "Can you let Xue Chenjing come out?", what's the difference between this and Xue's parents begging Xue Chenjing to come out?
As long as they make sure he is not injured, it will be fine.
Yu Yi sat for a while, raised her hand and turned the paper into ashes over the candle and sprinkled it out of the window. The ashes quickly melted in the rain.
Close the window, turn off the lights, and go to bed to rest.
After the lights in the east room went out, the lights in the west room also went out. Xue Mingyuan lay on the bed with his clothes on and did not sleep all night.
After all, his parents' mental power could not trap Xue Chenjing for too long. He has now retrieved his coccyx and the two fires. The strength of this body has skyrocketed, and even monsters like the 犇 are subservient to him.
If he could take back the Heart Fire, he would have nothing to worry about. He would be able to completely rely on the power left by the ancient great demon, make all the demons worship him, and once again ascend to the throne of the Demon Lord.
That would be another turmoil.
Xue Mingyuan sat up, took out the Lotus Voice Jade from his arms, transferred spiritual power into it, and lit up the runes on the jade.
In just a moment, the voice transmission order was connected, and Madam Lian's cold voice came from the other side, asking: "Mingyuan, what's the matter?"
Xue Mingyuan said softly in the dark: "Sister, I want to ask you to do me a favor."
