Yu Yi lowered her head in the night breeze, her eyes falling on the arms around her waist. Xue Chenjing's hands were clasped tightly together.
Even though he was asleep, the blue veins on the back of his clasped hands were still visible, and they were wrapped around her waist unshakably. His chest was pressed against her back, and the heat from his body could not be ignored.
Yu Yi had discovered before that his body had a strong self-healing ability, and this time was no exception.
After Xue Chenjing fell asleep, his body began to repair itself, and his skin, which had been pale due to lack of blood, gradually returned to normal.
Perhaps it was the rapid replacement of cells in his body that kept his body in a state of high fever, like a stove wrapped around her back.

Yu Yi placed her palm on his hand, and her fingertips stroked the blue veins on the back of his hand.
It is undeniable that Xue Chenjing's words just now really touched her. For a long time, she has been trying to resist his invasion, and has been vigilantly building up copper walls and iron walls to guard against him. However, it has always been the truth that you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. She will inevitably relax.
It is these countless unintentional moments of relaxation that allowed him to squeeze into her heart and occupy a place, causing her to lose her mind just now and pick him up on Senior Brother He's back without thinking.
"Could it be that I am essentially a love-brained person? That 80% favorability is really mine?" Yu Yi thought to herself, and couldn't help but doubt herself.
She didn't know what the system's criteria for calculating favorability were, but 80% favorability was already very high for her, enough to be classified as one of "her own people."
However, if standing with him meant that she would be displaced and on the run for the rest of her life, Yu Yi was unwilling to do so. After all, no matter how much she liked him, she was unwilling to break her wings and fall into the abyss with him. Yu Yi thought aimlessly
, and built a scale in her heart, weighing the person behind her. Suddenly, she heard a murmur in her ear, "Ayi..."
She tilted her head slightly, and responded with a "hmm." The person who was about to wake up heard her response, his eyelashes trembled slightly for a moment, rubbed her neck affectionately, and fell asleep again.
Along the way, Xue Chenjingru hummed like this many times, and he would call her name every time he muttered. Only when he got a response could he fall asleep again with peace of mind.
If Yu Yi didn't respond in time, he would become agitated, his fingertips would twitch, and the muscles in his arms would twitch and tighten. It was like he was haunted by a nightmare, struggling to wake up immediately.
"I'm here." Yu Yi said soothingly, after all, she couldn't just abandon him like she did at the beginning.
Before the two people and the crane flew out of Liangzhou, Yu Yi realized that someone was following them. The other party was not numerous, and they didn't mean to attack immediately, but they were relentless.
Yu Yi turned back hastily and saw the stream of light from the communication symbols they had sent out. It seems that the other party wants to call more people over to besiege them.
They must get rid of them before they get here.
Yu Yi reached out and touched the neck of the red-crowned crane, and said, "Brother He, fly to where there is heavy moisture and clouds."
Brother He obeyed for a moment, and with a flap of his wings, he slid through a neat arc in the air and changed direction. Brother He's flying speed is extremely fast, far exceeding that of ordinary fairy cranes. The cultivators chasing behind him must concentrate their full attention to barely catch up.
The fairy crane suddenly turned, and the several streams of light following behind also turned. Two people failed to react in time and were almost thrown off the sword. When they stumbled and stabilized their bodies, the fairy crane in front and their fellow disciples had already disappeared.
Senior Brother He relied on his superb flying skills to shake off some of the pursuers, but there were still some people following behind him. If they couldn't shake off all of them, as long as there was still one person who could keep up with them, their whereabouts would be controlled by others.
Fortunately, a large patch of thick clouds appeared in front of them, and the light of the stars and the moon became sparse again.
The red-crowned crane carried the two people and rushed into the thick clouds without hesitation. As soon as it entered the clouds, Yu Yi summoned the Green Bamboo Sword with his fingers. Lightning flashed on the sword, and the sword spirit broke out of the sword.
A moment later, the red-crowned crane flew out from the other end of the clouds, and the thick clouds behind it exploded with golden lightning. The wandering lightning quickly spread in the clouds, interweaving into an electric grid, which struck from the sky and illuminated the world in an instant.
The lightning bolt came unexpectedly and knocked down several monks. Even if the rest of the people avoided the lightning, they would have lost their way when they wanted to chase after them.
Yu Yi shook off the pursuers and breathed a sigh of relief, but shaking off this group of pursuers was only temporary. As long as they were still in the territory of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects, they would be discovered again.
At least he had to be sent to a safe place.

Yu Yi raised her hand and gently placed it on his cheek, and asked, "Ah Qiu, do you have a place to go? A place that is absolutely safe and can let you recover?"
Xue Chenjing's eyelashes moved violently. Excessive blood loss made him temporarily incapable of action. When he fell asleep, he had to retain a trace of consciousness and could not fall into a dead sleep. This was a habit he had developed since he locked Xue Mingyuan into his heart.
Because once he fell into a deep sleep or passed out, his control over another person would weaken, and Xue Mingyuan would come out to control his body again, and he didn't know what kind of dangerous situation he would be brought into.
Therefore, even if he fell asleep, he could vaguely hear the movements of the outside world and Yu Yi's questions.
An absolutely safe place.
Of course there is one. He has experienced so many lives, and in every life he has faced such a situation where he has nowhere to go. If he still doesn't know how to find a safe place and make it his own nest, wouldn't he have lived in vain?
However, to get there, he must take a chariot. After experiencing such a dream, he now doesn't want Yu Yi to see it.

Xue Chenjing was tangled in his heart, forcing himself to wake up from his deep sleep, trying to open his eyes, and hesitantly said: "Yes, but Ah Yi, I have to cover your eyes."
Yu Yi was startled, and then reacted. That place should be his most important place to save his life, so it is normal for him to be so wary of others. If it were her, wouldn't she be unwilling to take Xue Chenjing back to the bamboo forest secret realm?
She let go of Xue Chenjing's wrist, turned her head and said to him: "If you are worried, you don't have to take me. If you can go back by yourself..."
Xue Chenjing held her hand with his backhand, pressed her hand to his, and wanted her to hold him, and said anxiously: "I am not worried, I want to take you. It's just that the car there may make you feel uncomfortable."
Yu Yi didn't understand what he meant.
Xue Chenjing gritted his teeth and turned his palm over. He was too weak. The spiritual line in his palm condensed several times and broke several times. After a long while, something finally appeared.
He threw the object into the air, and it expanded rapidly, and countless wooden boards, railings, and axles flew out like a fairy.
These things connected with each other in the air, interlocking with each other, and quickly assembled into a chariot like building blocks, just wrapping them in the carriage.
Brother He's belly slapped against the assembled tables in the carriage, and it flapped its wings twice hesitantly, and finally found that it had strength to borrow, as if it didn't need it to fly.
Then, the whole crane folded its wings and paralyzed on the table.
Yu Yi: "..."
Xue Chenjing grabbed her waist with one hand, took her down from Brother He's back, and stepped on the solid floor.
The sound of "clacking" continued all around, and the panels on the four sides of the carriage were constantly being assembled. After the main frame of the carriage was completed, some small decorations were added.
Heavy curtains hung from the windows, as red as fire, with golden patterns embroidered on them. Tiny pearls flew out of the carriage like flowing water, strung together into a bead chain and dangling from the window frames.
Night-shining pearls flew into the carriage canopy and were inlaid inside, forming a dazzling starry sky ceiling.
The carriage was extremely spacious, as big as a room, with tables and desks fully furnished, and a carved hollow incense burner in the middle, with wisps of incense wafting out of it.
Yu Yi's eyes widened in surprise. Something pushed against her knees. She followed Xue Chenjing's force on her waist and sat down. There was soft lamb wool under her body. When she sat down, she felt like she was sinking into the clouds.
With a final click, the whole carriage was completed. Through the carvings on the side windows, one could see the huge wings spread out in front of the frame. Senior Brother He stood up from the table, stretched out his slender neck to look out the window, and suddenly retracted his head in fright.
The driver outside was a nine-headed ferocious bird, the Ghost Car.
Yu Yi raised her hand and touched the wall of the car. She understood why Xue Chenjing said that she would feel uncomfortable. She had entered the sacred tree of the emperor's house in her dream and was somewhat familiar with it.
This entire chariot was made from the sacred tree of the Emperor's House. If she had woken up a little later, she would have almost experienced the feeling of being uprooted and torn to pieces inside the sacred tree.
This chariot undoubtedly reminded her of Xue Chenjing's former cruelty.
But as someone who had never participated in the battle between good and evil and didn't know the whole story, Yu Yi had no right to criticize him for his cruelty. Yu Yi was not from this world, and didn't have such a strong concept of good and evil. She didn't think that the actions of the righteous were necessarily selfless and righteous, nor did she think that demons were inherently hateful.
In the ghost town, she had seen the ferocious side of demons, and she had also seen innocent demons like the bird demon.
The righteous sect killed the demons, and the demons fought back. This war between the two tribes was difficult to judge simply by right or wrong.
However, she had entered the divine tree, and now she was sitting in the chariot made by the divine tree, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
The wind was howling outside the carriage, and it was almost impossible to see the scenery clearly. I don’t know how much faster it was than Senior Brother He. With such a divine chariot and such a speed, no one could catch up with him no matter where he wanted to go.
"You have a chariot like this, so you don't need Senior Brother He to send you off again." Yu Yi wanted to get up, but the arm around her waist tightened immediately. Xue Chenjing leaned against her bonelessly, his forehead still hot against her face, and murmured, "Yi, I'm sorry, don't be angry with me."
"I'm not angry, it's just a dream, and you didn't lead me into the dream."
