A sound of pleasure
There were no useful records in the records of Huamian Village, and looking further would be a waste of time. They could only rely on their limited knowledge of Huangquan Inn and grope forward in the darkness.
The four of them huddled together, relying on the faint light radiated by the four balls of fire that Heqi had conjured to illuminate the way ahead. They were extremely cautious along the way.
But this black pit seemed endless. The four of them walked until their legs became weak, and there was still darkness in front of them.
There was no time change in the black pit. It was always pitch black, and they walked and rested, walked and rested, and went around and around. Now they didn't know how much time had passed in the human world. They could only roughly estimate the time by relying on Cha Suxun and Yuanli's mortal bodies, and how many times they had been hungry and eaten. Fortunately, Tianshu brought a magic bag that looked like a treasure house, and put a lot of mortal food in it.
They tried to use magic to dispel the darkness, but it only lasted for a moment before it returned. There was nothing left, and wherever the black faded, there was only a dazzling white light.
Tianshu and Heqi's path-finding spells were all ineffective here.
"Don't go anymore, stop and rest to conserve your energy. There must be a barrier or formation here. If you can't find a way to break it, you may never get out if you just wander around aimlessly." Tianshu said.
Cha Suxun spoke quietly, "With your abilities, even if you only possess 10% of your divine power this time, you should be able to perform the most basic pathfinding spell to perfection. If even your pathfinding fails, then the barrier here is either created by a fellow deity or one with greater power than yours, or it's connected to something left behind from the ancient past. That would be troublesome."
"This place is hidden in the mountains, and the mountains gather spirits, so there's always a resonance. My Lingbao Silver Bell contains Penglai Hidden Wings, which is also a spirit. It should be able to work, right? It's a pity that I think I left the Lingbao Silver Bell at home. If I had known, I would have given it to you before I let you erase your memory. I can't even remember where I left it."
A'li was feeling frustrated and regretful. In the blink of an eye, Cha Suxun fumbled around her body for a while, stretched out his clenched fist in front of her, and then unclenched his fist. The magical silver bell appeared in front of her, jingling and swaying.
"You threw it among the pile of silver jewelry on the dresser. I was afraid you would mistake it for ordinary silver jewelry and use it to make other styles, so I put it away for you."
Yuanli took the spiritual silver bell from Cha Suxun's hand and subconsciously hugged him, rubbing her face against his, just like when they were still Chi Xun and Chi Li. She praised him in a coquettish tone, "It's a good thing you put it away. How did you think of taking it with you when you go out? My husband is really foresighted~"
"I'm afraid you'll lose it, too. I know there are treasures in there that you've accumulated. Even if I lose them, I can always find better ones for you, but you're such a money-grubber that you'll still feel sad and blame yourself. I want you to be happy all the time."
Releasing Cha Suxun, Yuanli pulled a cloaked wing from her silver bell and chanted the ancient Penglai curse. The next moment, the cloaked wing glowed faintly as it soared from her palm, flying behind them. Its tail trailed a fluorescent green light through the air, guiding their direction.
"Fly, fly, maybe it will be useful! I only have two left, and the remaining one will be used when we get out."
The tone of her voice revealed that Ari was reluctant to leave.
"It's okay, I'll find it for you when I run out of it."
"real?"
Hearing this, the money-loving Yuanli started calculating in her mind, and was calculating with satisfaction how many hidden wings Cha Suxun would find for her and how many spirit stones they would be worth.
"Really." Cha Suxun raised the corners of his mouth high as he spoke. He leaned proudly on her arm and asked proudly, "Is there a reward this time too?"
Yuanli, still absorbed in calculating the value of Hidden Wings in spirit stones, wasn't focused on the conversation with Cha Suxun at all, and subconsciously answered, "Yes."
"You promised it yourself, you can't go back on your word. As usual, two things that please my wife will give me two rewards."
He Qi, who was listening with even greater excitement and joy than the person involved, also said, "What reward? I can make Sister happy too. Sister, I want one too, I want one too!"
After coming back to her senses, Yuanli realized how big a hole she had dug with her mouth, and she forced herself to smile in regret.
For her, who still has memories, to have sex with him, it was really... difficult...
Seeing her hesitant and unable to speak for a long time, Cha Suxun's face was sore from trying to hold back his laughter. Finally, after she glared at him fiercely, he said, "Of course, the reward you give me can only be mine. If you want a reward, you can ask your sister to give you something else, but not the same as mine."
"I'm fine with anything. Sister, whatever you give me is fine!"
Heqi didn't care about all that. He was very happy just because his sister gave him a piece of rag as a reward to take back.
After following Yinchi for a long time, just when Yuanli was about to think that they had failed again, Yinchi suddenly caught fire and burned itself away, and the darkness under the four people's feet also quickly disappeared.
Instead, there is a bright light.
Yellow sand lay beneath my feet, and a fierce heat spread through my skin. The deserted desert seemed endless, its bones tangled in the ground, the remains of all sorts of animals. There were no plants, only clumps of dead branches, blown about by the wind.
From a distance, it seems that there is a small wooden building.
"Could that be the Yellow Spring Inn?"
"I don't know. I'll have to get closer to see."
The heat wave hit her face, burning her mouth and tongue. She pulled her collar open a little and fanned herself frantically, trying to relieve the heat, but it was just like trying to quench her thirst.
Seeing this, Cha Suxun quickly closed her collar.
"Bear with it, it's really hot. Let Heqi and the others cast a spell to cool you down. The desert sun is fierce, and it's scorching hot right now. If you expose your skin like this, it will get sunburned and peel."
"Yes, sister, mortals are the most vulnerable." He Qi gathered sand on his head, forming a large area to block the sunlight, and then cast a cooling spell on A Li to relieve her heat. "Are you still hot, sister?"
"It's much cooler now. Please cast the same spell on Axun as well. He's also a mortal and won't be able to stand the heat."
"Okay. How about I carry you, sister? You've been walking for a long time, and this sandy ground is hard to walk on. I'm worried your feet will hurt."
Ah Li shook his head and said, "It's okay, no need, I'm still fine."
Tianshu silently transformed the sand into a horse pulling a sand cart, then boarded first, closing his eyes and concentrating. "That inn only looks close. If you actually walk there, your legs will be worn out. It's better to get on board and save your energy. Trust me, I'm very experienced in this kind of desert. Don't you agree, Cha Suxun?"
When talking about the phrase "too experienced", Tianshu almost gritted his teeth and said every word, as if this could accuse Cha Suxun of the suffering he had endured when he was thrown into the desert some time ago.
Cha Suxun sat next to Yuanli. Facing the looks of the other two, he just smiled and said nothing.
The sand cart traversed the bumpy, uneven sand with remarkable stability, as if on flat ground, heading towards the Yellow Springs Inn. As Tianshu had said, the Yellow Springs Inn only looked close, but in reality, it was still very far away. As they drove until sunset, the Yellow Springs Inn in the distance became noticeably closer.
Suddenly, Yuanli clutched her chest, cried out in pain, and curled up in Cha Suxun's arms. Her face was pale, her lips were almost bloodless, and beads of sweat streamed down her forehead.
"What's wrong? Has the love poison struck again? It's not time yet. Go and see what's wrong with her!"
Ah Li resisted the pain and waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, "Don't interfere, let it hurt, it will be over soon. It hurts so much, just leave me alone!"
She rolled over in pain, tears streaming down her face, her hair wet with sweat and tears. The three men, anxious, fetched water, wet handkerchiefs, and wiped her sweat.
He Qi couldn't bear to watch this any longer and wanted to cast a spell, but Cha Suxun stopped him, saying, "If you intervene now, all her suffering will be in vain. She knows you will do it, and she values her life the most. If she doesn't let you intervene, she must have her own plans. Wait."
"But sister looks really hurt..."
Heqi turned away, wiping away tears, closing his eyes and temporarily blocking his ears. Witnessing her pain, Heqi couldn't help but think of the pain his sister must have felt when she'd used her body to suppress it. Sadness surged through his heart, and Heqi could only suppress it with all her might.
It was not until Cha Suxun patted his shoulder that Heqi unsealed his ears, quickly wiped away his tears, cast a spell to hide the traces of crying, and then turned around.
At this moment, the corners of A'li's mouth were still slightly red, and there was black blood next to her that she had just vomited. In the black blood lay a dark and red mass of something that looked like both meat and a worm.
"Does it still hurt, sis?"
"The pain is gone, it's okay, don't worry."
"It hurts like that, how can I not be worried? What happened just now? Why didn't you let us intervene?"
Yuanli explained, "The Emperor's second tribulation is over. Tianshu, I must have failed my mission... Is it because I'm still alive that you can't capture me and bring me back to heaven to face justice?"
"How do you know he's dead? Even if he's dead, you don't have to conclude that the mission has failed. We haven't even left yet, and success or failure is still unknown. It's actually a good thing that he died early, and lived a long life. Wouldn't it be a failure for us?"
Tianshu did not answer her question directly because he was not sure. He could only comfort her emotions and be happy for as long as possible.
"The mission was doomed to fail. He doesn't like me, I know that. In this life, there's no such thing as unrequited love. I planted a love insect in him, refining it based on the one my father left me, strengthening its effectiveness. However, the backlash from the love insect has also intensified. From the moment I planted the love insect in him, I soon suffered the first backlash. The pain I felt just now was also because of the love insect. If he dies with no connection between our hearts, then the pain he suffers at death will be multiplied tenfold, and it will fall on me."
"As long as I'm here, no one can snatch you back to take the blame. If you fail, you fail. As for snatching souls, that's my forte."
