A sound of pleasure
I could hear some rustling noises coming from his side, as if he had found something. Then, he muttered to himself in a dejected tone, "You have such a cruel heart. You always leave me alone. You clearly love me the most, so why do you always choose someone else? What's wrong with me that I can't hold a place in your heart?"
"My dear, I miss you so much... As long as you say it, even if it's just a few words that you and them were just playing around, I will believe you. As long as you are willing to come back to me, even if it's just to lie to me for a short time, I can even find reasons to lie to myself for you. I really can't lose you again..."
Hearing this, Yuanli couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she lost her focus and turned away from the monitoring. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw three people staring at her intently.
"How is it? Have you heard any useful news?"
Yuanli recounted the entire conversation she had just heard in the room and said, "I personally think we can form an alliance. First, he didn't need an avatar and was able to pretend to drink right under the noses of the people at the Huangquan Inn without being discovered. I think he must have some tricks up his sleeve. At least, we need those tricks right now. We can't just stay in the room and use an avatar every time. Second, he seems to have a map of this place and knows how to find the temple. It's better than us groping around on our own. Third, he didn't make any offerings to the landlady, but he didn't worry about how to escape when the three days were up."
"Well, what you said makes sense, sister. Any one of these three points is enough for us to choose to ally with them temporarily. However, it seems that his only weakness at the moment is his wife who ran away from marriage. How about I change a little?"
"After his companions left the room, Brother Qi remained in the room, talking to himself sadly. From what I've heard from him, I think he's a wife-lover. It sounds like his wife is quite amorous and has cheated on him several times, but he still can't live without her. I feel like if he can tolerate all that, he must be mentally unstable. You'd better not easily transform into his wife to deceive him. If you're discovered, even if your magic power isn't equal, he'll probably kill you with a thousand casualties and five hundred casualties."
"What should we do then?"
"I don't know. There are no other breakthroughs at the moment. Let's just focus on making genuine friends! Let's just leave it to fate and let nature take its course! Okay, let's all go back to sleep!"
After saying that, Ah Li fetched some water and began to wash up. When she was done, she looked at Cha Suxun who was leaning on her couch and blurted out, "Why are you still here?"
"My lady, where do you think I should be?" He sat up, walked past her with a smile and started to wash up.
"You want to live in the same room with me?"
Cha Suxun didn't answer, but kept smiling until he finished washing up. He climbed onto her bed, pulled back the small part of the quilt that wasn't covering her, and moved in, hugging her from behind.
"It's a bit hot." Ali coughed twice unnaturally and pulled the quilt to move his arms away.
Cha Suxun shrank his body down, and touched her ankles along her curled legs. With just a squeeze, he pulled the quilt and wrapped her back in his arms.
"My lady, please don't lie so openly next time." Feeling her tension, Cha Suxun jokingly said, "My lady, you seem very nervous. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm not thinking about anything. I have nothing to be nervous about."
"Let me guess...you want to...put on pants and ignore me?"
Ah Li was speechless for a moment. Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Cha Suxun continued, "Did I guess it right? It's true. The smoke and green are so heartless that they can't be reached, and the stars are so bright and beautiful that they have no reason to be picked up. You have already used the word "heartless" so vividly. I'm not even dead yet, why are you kicking me out, my lady?"
"Who is heartless?"
"You're such a twisted person. This isn't good. I'm a legitimate couple now, married in a formal ceremony. Living with you is normal for couples. Before we got married, didn't you eat, live, and sleep with me? Even though we didn't do anything, you didn't even take shape. Why did you suddenly have memories of your past life and become so heartless? Even if we were to divorce, didn't my wife say we should have a child..."
Hearing this, Yuanli quickly turned over and covered his mouth, interrupting what he was about to say.
"Stop talking and go to sleep."
Cha Suxun nodded, and Yuanli slowly let go.
This place is very windy and dusty. Even after washing, it wouldn't take long for me to feel like I hadn't shaken off all the sand. It felt a bit rough. So, I didn't sleep well that night. Before the starry night had completely faded, Ah Li Bian woke up.
Although she still felt sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep. Lying on the couch, tossing and turning for a while, Ah Li finally gave up and tiptoed over Cha Suxun to get out of bed.
She opened the window farthest from Cha Suxun. A few stars still lingered in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew in, bringing some clarity. Ah Li simply brought a small round stool and sat down by the window.
Such beautiful stars, perhaps once we understand them in this life, we won’t be able to see them again for many days.
Just as she was lost in thought and feeling sad, Cha Suxun gently put a coat on her, bringing her thoughts back.
"What are you worried about, Ari?"
"No. I'm sleepy, but I can't fall asleep, so I get up and get some fresh air, which helps me stay awake."
Cha Suxun brought a stool and sat beside her, getting close to her.
After checking that the barrier was still stable, Cha Suxun said, "I wiped your memory earlier, so I didn't tell you a lot of things. I was afraid it would scare you, a mortal. Now that your memory has been restored, it's fine. I'll give you a clearer picture so you can deal with it better. The great demon that's gotten involved this time is still related to the Evil Abyss, and it's even more troublesome than before. Even with us here, you still have to be extra careful. I'm afraid that something might slip up and I might miss it."
Cha Suxun told Yuanli everything except the mortal A Wan. He also specifically told Yuanli the abilities and weaknesses of the great demons that had worked for Xie Yuan, and explained how to deal with them if encountered.
After hearing this, Yuanli felt uneasy. She wondered, "You've explained this to me in such detail and seriousness. Could it be that things are going to get out of hand again? What exactly do they want to do? Maybe they want to release Xie Yuan again?"
"The purpose remains uncertain, but what you say is highly likely. Xie Yuan has only been temporarily suppressed. It will take tens of thousands of years to wear down his spirit, but recently I've noticed that his soul seems to be being repaired. This world is already unstable. If Xie Yuan escapes, all will be devastated, and the six realms will be in turmoil. Even the heavens will not be safe. If, if that day ever comes, don't rush forward, return to the Netherworld. Home is at least safer than outside. I will repay you with a favor."
Ever since Yuanli became a deity and traveled through the mortal world, witnessing the joys and sorrows of all living things, her mindset has changed. Previously, she was alone and helpless, just wanting to survive. Now, she has developed a compassionate heart for all living things.
If that day really comes, she also wants to do her bit for the people instead of hiding in the underworld and living in misery.
"Why aren't you talking?" Looking at Ah Li, who had been silent for a long time and seemed to be hesitant to speak, Cha Suxun changed his tone and said firmly, "You said you wanted to repay me. You will meet all my requests. This is the first request I have of you. You don't have to think about the wording. There is no room for negotiation."
He threatened her with the favor of saving his life. Cha Suxun knew that even though Ah Li had many shortcomings, her kindness and loyalty would never change.
It didn't matter if she blamed him or hated her. It didn't matter what, as long as she was alive.
"If you can, just say yes. If you can't, just pretend I never saved you, and there's no need to ask for repayment. Our debt is now settled. I'm asking you one last time, can you do this?"
There was a long silence, until the stars completely disappeared from the sky and the morning light covered the earth. Then Yuanli said, "Yes."
After Heqi and Tianshu woke up, A'li used Wen'er to find out that Brother Qi and his brother were still in the room, and then went to Tianshu's room to have breakfast.
"There's no cover anywhere in this desert, how can we follow him? Wen'er can hear but can't see, so there's no point in following him. If we use invisibility, the risk is too great. Sister, do you have any other treasures in your bell that can be used?" He Qi asked.
"Most of the things in my bell are gold, silver, and treasures. Apart from Wen'er and Yinchi, I don't have any other useful magic weapons."
"So, let's take a chance?"
While they were discussing, there was a knock on the door.
Tianshu asked warily, "Who?"
"We brought some good wine from home and would like to invite you to drink with us. Is that convenient?"
Tianshu turned around and looked at them. After Cha Suxun and Yuanli went back, Tianshu opened the door.
"Come in, come in and sit down. Thank you both for your kindness. Unfortunately, we didn't bring anything good to share with you. I'm really sorry."
"Yesterday I drank your wine, today I drink our wine. It's a give and take, so why should I be embarrassed?"
After the door closed, Brother Qi suddenly asked, "Who is that mortal beside Yuanli?"
As Brother Qi spoke, he took out a token from his chest and placed it on the table. This token was exactly the same as the one worn around the waist by the immortal servants in Emperor Hengjin's immortal palace.
Tianshu picked up the token and examined it carefully. It felt cold the moment he touched it, but it didn't bring chills. The longer he held it, the more refreshed he felt. The only jade that could possess this natural effect was Tianchi Hanyu.
Among all the immortals' and gods' residences, only Emperor Hengjin used the Tianchi cold jade as a token.
Easy to identify and less likely to be fake.
He Qi did not recognize Heng Jin's token and thought it was someone who might pose a threat to his sister, so he was on guard and alert, ready to take action at any time.
“Who the hell are you?”
He sent a telepathic message to Heqi: "Heng Jin."
Hearing this, He Qi's expression changed drastically, his resentment aroused. His face darkened, his brow furrowed. The look he gave him was filled with mixed emotions, as if he were looking at something dirty.
"Since you've recognized my token, please answer my question. Who is that mortal beside Yuanli?"
Tianshu was feeling a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to answer when Cha Suxun came through the wall from the next room.
