Shen Yunhao sat quietly with his hands tucked in his pockets and his eyes closed, pretending not to see Qing Teng, who was propping her head up with her arm and smiling at him from outside the small island in the lake.
After a long while, Shen Yunhao finally couldn't withstand the blatant gaze and angrily said, "Don't look at me, I don't have a single drop left!"
Qing Teng blinked, unaware of the ambiguity in her words, and said with feigned seriousness, "Qing Teng can help Brother Yun Hao get some water. If Brother Yun Hao drinks a little more, there will be more water..."
"You!" Shen Yunhao was speechless for a moment, and immediately retorted, "Why don't you pee yourself?"
Qing Teng's eyes widened instantly. After a brief moment of surprise, her face flushed crimson, and she lowered her head weakly, saying, "So... so Brother Yun Hao wanted to see this..."
Shen Yunhao: "???"
"But the green vine is a spirit of plants, feeding on the essence of heaven and earth, and it doesn't urinate..."
"..."
Oh my god, this is a super lollipop!
This girl's thought process is absolutely unbelievable!
Just as Shen Yunhao was on the verge of losing his temper, Qing Teng suddenly raised his head, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips: "Actually, Brother Yunhao doesn't necessarily have to use that filthy substance; using fresh blood to purify it is also acceptable..."
"..."
This is a statement of fact, indicating that...the girl knows exactly how to break the seal here!
However, Shen Yunhao seemed to have expected this, returning the same smile and raising an eyebrow, saying, "What? Not pretending anymore?"
"Since Brother Yunhao has already guessed it, it's no fun to keep pretending..."
At this moment, the childlike innocence on the little girl's face had completely disappeared, and her originally green eyes had become very dark, gleaming with an eerie purple light.
"But... there's one thing I don't understand, when did Brother Yunhao start to realize it?"
Faced with this question, Shen Yunhao simply stared at her for a while before saying, "You don't... really think you're acting very well, do you?"
"..."
The smile on Qing Teng's face vanished instantly.
Shen Yunhao felt a chill run down his spine, coughed twice, and said, "Actually, I've always been curious about one thing: why did the Valley Master of Lingyou Valley send you out of the valley while leaving the others inside... Could it be because you're good-looking?"
Qing Teng blinked, raised her hand to touch her cheek, then tilted her chin up, her gaze unconsciously drifting elsewhere.
Shen Yunhao's lips twitched as he looked at her smug expression, which she couldn't contain.
If he weren't currently under someone else's control, Shen Yunhao would definitely think this guy was a complete goofball.
"After entering the valley and seeing the battle situation, I've been thinking about this question and wondering if you're related to this so-called Azure Vein."
"But considering that the Azure Vein is the bane of all poisonous bones in the world, yet you were bitten half to death by a poisonous spider, I feel that this guess is not valid..."
"It wasn't until I entered this Azure Vein Secret Realm and saw these chains that I understood something."
Shen Yunhao raised his head again, looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and said, word by word, "There is no Azure Vein here at all! There is only a monster sealed here!"
"That means you... Qing Teng!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl actually raised her hands and clapped her hands at Shen Yunhao, cheering, "As expected of Brother Yunhao who can poke the butt of a Soul Condensation Realm cultivator with only Copper Skin Realm cultivation, you are really amazing! I didn't even know you had discovered it from beginning to end!"
"..."
No! We can talk, but why bring that up?
However, Shen Yunhao's expression did not change.
Now that things have been brought to light, it's like having a knife to your throat. If you make even one wrong judgment or take one wrong step, you'll fall straight into the abyss and never be able to get out.
"No matter what, the Azure Vein is a spiritual object created by heaven and earth. Even if its energy is enormous, I have never heard of anyone describing it as domineering, let alone setting up a seal on it. This is a very unreasonable phenomenon in itself!"
"Secondly, I don't know when your consciousness began to be invaded by the main body, but it was most likely after you entered this Ten Thousand Vine Cave, because the difference in your behavior before and after is too great. If what you say is true, and the power of the Azure Vein has the side effect of backfiring on the user, then the first one to fall after unsealing the power of the Azure Vein would not be the Demon Sect, but the Valley Master! If it were the Azure Vine of the past, it would never have done this!"
"Third, you may not understand feelings. What's real can't be faked, and what's fake can't be real... The first time you cried, I could feel that you were genuinely sad and upset, but the second time, no matter how well you pretended, you couldn't deceive your own heart!"
Qing Teng's expression froze for a moment.
Although everything seemed reasonable and well-founded, it wasn't hard to deduce from Shen Yunhao's meaning that, ultimately, it was because his acting was too bad and he couldn't fool them...
When the matter was laid bare, Qing Teng showed no sign of panic. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "So, Brother Yun Hao, you've decided to play along and come with me to this Azure Vein Secret Realm, hoping to find a way to counter me here?"
"That's not true!"
Shen Yunhao shook his head, raised his head slightly, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and sighed.
"Mainly because... I can't beat you, otherwise who would be willing to come down with you..."
Qing Teng: "..."
"No one can beat you except yourself! Later I realized that maybe this was the only way. You had no choice, and neither did I!"
The little girl was immediately filled with questions: "Wait! Wait! Why does this sound so wrong?"
Shen Yunhao snapped out of his daze, clutching his head: "Sorry, I mixed up the scenes, I mixed up the scenes..."
"..."
After listening to Shen Yunhao's explanation, Qing Teng roughly understood Shen Yunhao's intentions. She covered her lips and chuckled softly, "Judging from the current situation, is Brother Yunhao planning to hide on this island and not come out? Waiting for someone to come and rescue you?"
Shen Yunhao pursed his lips and remained silent.
It's a bit embarrassing, but it's the only way we can do it...
At least for now, with this seal in place, this girl can't do anything to him.
"However... Brother Yunhao, I regret to inform you that since you broke the third seal, this secret realm has been completely closed! No one will come to rescue you..."
"..."
“I’ve been sealed away for so many years, so what’s a little longer? In fact, I have Brother Yunhao to chat with and keep me company, which is much more fun than usual… But, Brother Yunhao, can you stay here forever?”
Qing Teng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile: "The demonic sects outside are attacking Qingzhu Fortress. That old bastard Shu Wuxin can hold them off for a while by absorbing my power, but now that the secret realm is closed, they have lost their so-called Qingmai power. How long do you think they can hold out?"
"By then, everyone in Lingyou Valley will have been wiped out, and that beautiful Sister Zhuli will also be captured by the Demon Sect. Will Brother Yunhao still have the mind to sit here and guard this lonely island?"
