Leng Mushi has never been an emotional person, especially when it comes to love between men and women, which in her opinion is not as real as alchemy.
However, the aftereffect of Xiao Mian's boiling frog in warm water was too strong. By the time Leng Mushi realized it, the frog was already cooked to the point of skin and flesh being rotten. It was simply impossible for it to jump out of the boiling pot.
But what is love
She had seen her mother suffer greatly from this before her own eyes. Tying all joy and pain on another person was like a gamble that was bound to end in failure.
Not only did her mother lose miserably, she also died with hatred in her heart.
Leng Mushi once swore that she would never let herself fall into such a situation, and would never deviate from her own path for anyone.
Xiao Mian's appearance was unexpected, and she had rejected him countless times, but Xiao Mian was different from her father who only wasted others' time, asking for things without giving back. Xiao Mian had been asking for almost nothing from her for so long.
He had shown her more tenderness than a real lover, and had taken care of her for such a long time without any sound. He had worked hard to go through thick and thin with her, until now, when he was willing to sacrifice his own life for her.
Leng Mushi couldn't help but want to respond to Xiao Mian, even though the time and place were not right, even though they might not even have a future.
She held Xiao Mian's face and cried a few times without any image. The sound was so unpleasant when it was suppressed in her throat, like a pig with its four hooves tied up, howling in front of the butcher's knife.
But she really didn't care about her image at this moment. Countless emotions accumulated in her heart and she needed to find an outlet to erupt. She was like a dam that had not released floodwaters for years and was about to collapse. What else could she care about
However, Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard her devilish voice that filled his ears. The unreal thoughts in his mind, to some extent, like Leng Mushi's accumulated emotions, blocked his rationality. For a moment, he even doubted whether he was dreaming.
Could it be that the monster they were trapped in had hallucinogenic effects? Otherwise, why... Why would the person who had rejected him time and again kiss him with tears
Xiao Mian raised his hand hesitantly, and instead of rushing to hug Leng Mushi, he pinched his thigh... but there was no feeling.
It turned out that I was dreaming.
He rolled his eyes and pinched it again, but still no feeling. Leng Mushi's pig-like squeals suddenly became sharp.
“Ugh—”
"Why are you pinching me!" Leng Mushi was pinched twice in a row, and the surging sorrow in her heart was crushed away without a trace by Xiao Mian.
"It twisted a whole circle." Leng Mushi had no choice but to let go of Xiao Mian. She sat on the ground and rubbed her thighs hard. "What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Mian still maintained a half-kneeling posture, looking at Leng Mushi foolishly. His cheeks were still burning from Leng Mushi's retaliatory pinching, but he realized it belatedly. His heart began to beat wildly like millions of deer kicking their legs in joy.
He reached out his hand and touched his lips tremblingly. There was still moisture on them from Leng Mushi's biting. He was not dreaming, nor was he in a hallucination. This could not be attributed to the actions of a good brother!
Xiao Mian reacted as if someone had poured a kettle of boiling water on his head. His scalp was numb and painful. He then pounced on Leng Mushi, who was wiping her tears and nose with a towel, like a man-eating beast, and pressed Leng Mushi to the ground with one claw.
Leng Mushi's chest and brain were buzzing from the shock he caused. Fortunately, she was surrounded by the monster's flesh walls above, below, and on all sides, so the beating was loud but not painful.
She lay on the ground and watched Xiao Mian, who was propped up with his arms and looking down at her. His eyes looked a little scary, dark and unfathomable like an abyss, and there were also ominous red lights.
Oh no, that’s a bit too stimulating.
Leng Mushi thought that she was too impulsive. Xiao Mian was just a wisp of consciousness and was too fragile to be affected by the Heavenly Demon Pill. If she irritated him to death in one go, she would not have time to cry and hold her head in her hands.
So Leng Mushi quickly grabbed Xiao Mian's arm and said, "Brother, don't get excited. Stay calm. Don't pinch me anymore and don't let your imagination run wild. This is..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Mian had already lowered his head towards her lips.
Leng Mushi's breath was choked, and Xiao Mian stopped less than two fingers away from her lips. He supported his arms on Leng Mushi's sides, and his long hair fell to cover her whole body.
Leng Mushi's hands had unconsciously climbed onto his shoulders, but Xiao Mian did not push them down directly. Instead, he spoke, his voice hoarse as if it was torn apart, "Why... don't you push me?"
Leng Mushi pursed her lips, her breath entangled with his. At such a close distance, she looked at Xiao Mian's puzzled expression, and saw his forbearance and restraint clearly. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Your lips are quite soft, brother."
She didn't even call him Brother Xiao, but just called him Brother in that soft tone.
Xiao Mian's heart felt like it was being tightly wrapped with a silk thread, which was then being tightened madly. The thread cut into his heart veins, causing him to frown in pain.
Leng Mushi squinted her eyes and didn't wait for Xiao Mian's kiss, but saw Xiao Mian tilt his head, and with a "puff" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted on Leng Mushi's ear, and the hot and fishy blood splashed on her cheek, making her stunned.
Xiao Mian covered his mouth with his sleeve and propped himself up with his arms. Leng Mushi also sat up. Her eyes were even rounder than when she was trying to hold back her tears. They seemed to be about to burst out of their sockets and make two holes in Xiao Mian's body.
"What's wrong with you?" Leng Mushi grabbed his arm and tried to probe his meridians, but she had very little spiritual power left and failed. "When did you get hurt? Why are you spitting out so much blood?"
Leng Mushi went to check on him nervously. She remembered that Xiao Mian's injury was only on his lower back. It was the shadow cultivator who said that when the five-tailed dragon whipped her to the ground, Xiao Mian went to pick her up regardless of anything. When he flew up, he was grabbed by a winged demon that was waiting for an opportunity and hit his lower back.
Although a puppet beast quickly drove the winged demon away, Xiao Mian was still grabbed firmly by the lower back.
Could it be that she was too stimulated, the demonic energy entered her body too quickly, causing the demonic pill to awaken? !
Leng Mushi stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Mian's waist directly, trying to lift his robe to check his injuries. Xiao Mian kicked his legs and retreated repeatedly. He was too emotional at the moment, and the guard blood in his heart meridian was tightening invisibly, almost tearing his heart meridian apart.
"Don't..." Xiao Mian held Leng Mushi's hands while panting, frowning slightly and said, "I'm fine, just let me be alone for a while."
The blood on Xiao Mian's lips was bright red, making him look as if he had just eaten a dead child, looking extremely evil.
The ominous red light lingered in his eyes. Leng Mushi took out the Kunlun Plate from the storage bag, moved closer to Xiao Mian, and watched as the cultivator's runes on it moved two scales, while the demon's runes moved a full four scales.
Something terrible is going to happen!
Leng Mushi stepped back a little as Xiao Mian said, and sat not far from Xiao Mian with her eyes closed.
The two young lovers finally understood each other's feelings, but each was more miserable than the other. Xiao Mian wanted to be close to her but couldn't, while Leng Mushi was frantically thinking about how to suppress her.
Yin Yi from the Shadow Sect said that he had a prescription in his hand, which was the prescription that their Shadow Sect usually used to suppress the inner demons. If she could refine it, perhaps she could suppress Xiao Mian's demonic energy.
What he asked Leng Mushi for, as Leng Mushi had imagined before, was a pill that could seal his moves so that he could carry it with him.
It turned out that long before Leng Mushi, a medicine cultivator from the Shadow Sect who was good at poisons had already had this idea, but it was just an idea because it sounded too far-fetched.
Yin Yi said that his senior brother was extremely talented, but had been obsessed with poisons for many years. He had thought of sealing up his moves and attacks, but had failed repeatedly. Until he saw Leng Mushi, who could control dead souls and refine a pill to seal the power of a fox demon, he was shocked and excited. He felt that Leng Mushi might be worth a try.
They made a deal. If Leng Mushi took out the elixir that could seal the moves, they would provide a prescription to suppress the demonic energy in Xiao Mian. This kind of prescription was a contraband in the world of cultivation, because if a cultivator was possessed by a demon and forced to suppress it, it would become a serious problem.
The Shadow Sect monks often roam around the kings, princes, generals and ministers. They not only kill evil spirits, but also treacherous people. Therefore, they are more likely to have inner demons than ordinary monks. In the Shadow Sect, every time a Shadow Sect monk returns from a mission, the sect will give him medicine, which is the medicine to suppress the inner demons.
Yin Yi promised Leng Mushi that as long as she could refine the kind of elixir he described, he would not only provide the prescription, but also find everything Leng Mushi needed to refine the medicine.
The temptation was too great. The most important thing was that, regardless of whether it was forbidden or not, suppressing the demonic energy and preventing the demon from awakening was the only way for Leng Mushi to keep Xiao Mian.
She had to agree, and had left a way to communicate with Yin Yi. She would start trying when she returned to the sect so that she could get the prescription to suppress the evil spirit as soon as possible.
Leng Mushi's original plan was for her to jump off a cliff and it didn't matter if she got some minor injuries according to the plot.
The original plot of this section was that the supporting female character jumped off a cliff and got injured in order to compete for the love of the male protagonist. Everyone couldn't find her and left her in a secret place. She was then discovered by a disciple who came to rescue her, and after getting out, he hated the heroine even more.
According to the plan, Xiao Mian followed everyone towards the exit of the demon ruins. After completing the plot, she took the token left to her by Yin Yi and went to Yingzong to ask for a medicine. After giving it to Xiao Mian to drink, his demonic energy would not break out, leaving her enough time to return to the sect to find a solution.
Therefore, Yin Yi gave Leng Tianyin a harmless drug to help her lure Xiao Mian over, but Leng Mushi had planned everything but didn't expect Xiao Mian to jump down after her.
What Leng Mushi hadn't expected was that she couldn't help herself and kissed Xiao Mian. She was afraid that this would cause demonic energy to enter his body. She couldn't wait any longer!
Leng Mushi's mind was in a state of confusion for a few breaths. In the end, she couldn't think of any other solution. She couldn't get out of here for the time being, so she reached for her storage bag, took out the Five Elements Pill from it, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Xiao Mian was closing his eyes and meditating. The spiritual power in his body was dissipating and he couldn't regulate his breathing. But suddenly he got what he wanted. He couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart. The tearing pain in his heart meridian made his brows knitted tightly. He was sitting cross-legged and trying his best to adjust himself.
But no matter how hard he tried to clear his mind, he kept thinking about the scene where Leng Mushi kissed him and called him brother. Xiao Mian felt that he might really die from his meridians being torn apart by his reckless lust, just like Xuan Zhu said.
Leng Mushi came closer with the pill in her mouth, but he didn't even feel it. He was in a state of confusion. His mouth was suddenly pinched open. Leng Mushi rode over his knees, held his face and pushed something directly into his throat. Only then did Xiao Mian suddenly open his eyes.
Leng Mushi was already very familiar with the process, so she slid her fingers across his Adam's apple a few times, allowing him to swallow the pill smoothly.
"What is it?!" Xiao Mian had already guessed it. He pushed Leng Mushi and wanted to spit out the pill. The Five Elements Pill was so important that he couldn't just take the medicine that could save her from danger.
But Leng Mushi held his neck rigidly, not allowing him to induce vomiting, and even found a bunch of excuses, "Eat quickly, you are injured, and now you and I are in the mouth of some monster. I am not good at fighting, you have to get well soon and take me out!"
"My injury is fine!" Xiao Mian said anxiously, "Please stop making trouble. I vomited blood because I was overwhelmed with emotion and it affected the toad blood in my heart meridian!"
As he spoke, he opened his front to show Leng Mushi the red dot below his collarbone. Leng Mushi lowered her head and poked it with her fingertips. Although she was surprised, she was not anxious. She asked in confusion, "How do you have this thing too?"
Xuanzhu and Hua Yanyue have two souls in one body and can sense each other. As Xuanzhu's male body, this is inevitable when he wakes up every morning, which makes Hua Yanyue very angry. Therefore, she put the toad sand on him to prevent him from having any delusional thoughts and even self-relief.
But how could Xiao Mian have...
"Did my master do it?" Leng Mushi poked again and again, observing the ominous red light in Xiao Mian's eyes. After taking the Five Elements Pill, the red light actually subsided a little, and she felt relieved.
After all, the Five Elements Pill is a pill that is extremely rich in spiritual power. Spiritual energy and demonic energy are naturally in conflict. The strong spiritual power can suppress the demonic energy, which can be considered as mutual promotion and restraint.
Xiao Mian shook his head, "It's Senior Brother Xuanzhu... Now is not the time to talk about this, wait for me to give you the Five Elements Pill... Hmm."
Leng Mushi lowered her head and covered Xiao Mian's lips.
Xiao Mian's eyelashes flickered wildly. Leng Mushi pressed hard on his chastity sand with her fingertips. An indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in her heart, which greatly satisfied her possessiveness.
She knew how to temporarily untie it. Senior Brother Xuanzhu always untied it temporarily. After all, he was an adult man. He was also a bamboo that could give birth to its own offspring. How could he not relieve himself? He just took advantage of Hua Yanyue's hibernation and the time when Hua Yanyue turned a blind eye.
But Leng Mushi didn't want to understand it, because this toad sand made her feel that Xiao Mian belonged to her completely.
In the mortal world, this thing is the emperor's confinement and restriction of the women in the harem, and it is a persecution and humiliation of women.
But once this thing appears on a man, on the man you love, there is an indescribable sense of secret abstinence.
With this thing, Xiao Mian cannot fall in love with anyone. It grows on his heart veins, connecting him to his truest feelings, and can even allow Leng Mushi to test whether he can't control his feelings for her anytime and anywhere.
This is a hundred times more evil than the toad's blood in the mortal world, but it makes Leng Mushi so excited that sweat breaks out on his back.
She gently rolled over and over on Xiao Mian's lips. Xiao Mian did not act stupidly this time. He froze for a moment at first, but soon he couldn't control himself and reached out to hug Leng Mushi who was sitting on him.
He was still thinking about spitting out the Five Elements Pill, but he knew it was too late. The spiritual power rising from his body had already filled his meridians like a vast ocean.
Leng Mushi's closeness made him more addicted than the illusion of Huansheng Fox. His heart ached, but he couldn't help hugging her tighter and tighter, pulling Leng Mushi's slender waist into his arms and holding her tightly.
The boiling blood of the two people and the gradually overlapping heart beats were the strongest evidence of their mutual love. Xiao Mian even ignored the increasingly painful tearing sensation in his heart veins and was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
But even so, his kissing movements were clumsy and gentle.
It's like the favorite pastry that I finally bought after saving up money for a long time. I can't bear to swallow it whole. I just stick out my tongue and lick it bit by bit with pity, immersed in this sweet taste.
Their breathing intertwined and they were panting heavily, and their kisses were more of an intimate rubbing against each other.
Leng Mushi did not feel a tearing sensation in her heart, but her senses seemed to be gripped by something, and she was having difficulty breathing because of Xiao Mian's strangulation. She snorted softly, and Xiao Mian's ears and disheveled shoulders turned red when he heard the sound.
Blood came up in his throat several times, his brows were furrowed, and he showed a painful and obsessed expression. Leng Mushi had seen enough of this malicious look, so she bit the tip of her tongue, lowered her head, and fed a drop of blood to Xiao Mian's blood-red toad.
Things made from the blood of evil creatures that feed on human flesh and blood will naturally also eat blood to bring peace. Moreover, this toad sand will not really harm the body. When applied to the heart meridian, it does not tear the heart meridian, but the impurities and foul air deposited in the heart meridian. Therefore, the blood that Xiao Mian always spits out is dark red. This is a painful way to cleanse the heart meridian.
Otherwise, how could the master be willing to give this thing to Senior Brother Xuanzhu? Leng Mushi could see clearly that Hua Yanyue was not completely indifferent to Senior Brother Xuanzhu.
However, Leng Mushi did not intend to tell Xiao Mian the true function of this Shougongsha.
Leng Mushi licked the toad's blood with the tip of her tongue. When Xiao Mian's breath was briefly choked, she raised her head, squinted her eyes slightly, pouted her wet lips, and leaned close to his ear and said, "I like this little red dot, brother, please don't remove it."
How could Xiao Mian not agree? Now he was the one who fell into the illusion of Leng Mushi, the fox. He was controlled by her and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. He didn't want to withdraw at all.
Leng Mushi once again followed Xiao Mian's ear and kissed him on the lips. This time, Xiao Mian didn't feel any pain. He looked at Leng Mushi almost obsessively, and their lips were entangled in each other's arms. He wished he could treat them both as little cakes and eat them up in one bite.
But I’m afraid that if I eat too fast, I won’t be able to taste the food.
However, the Five Elements Pill worked in Xiao Mian's body. Even if he didn't circulate his spiritual power, the high-grade, top-grade pill from Hua Yanyue's hand was flowing in his body like mountains and seas turning upside down.
This pill contains a strand of Leng Mushi's soul. When Leng Mushi closes her eyes, she can even sense the direction of Xiao Mian's spiritual power.
She raised her head with some difficulty, held Xiao Mian's face as he tried to get closer again, and said, "Brother Xiao, this will cause our spiritual power to dissipate. Let's try to get out while we still have enough spiritual power in our bodies."
Xiao Mian also sobered up a little and lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. He had forgotten about this matter. He wished he could be entangled with Leng Mushi like this for the rest of his life.
He nodded and licked his lips, tasting the sweetness as if it were real. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips and cheeks were bright in color, but his eyes were clear and bloodless.
Leng Mushi smiled at him, and Xiao Mian couldn't help but close his eyes and kissed her forehead with his lips tenderly. Leng Mushi had excellent eyesight, and seeing his insatiable and extremely restrained look, she was almost bewitched to death.
She got up from Xiao Mian's legs, and seeing him like this, she couldn't help but say, "Whatever you want to do after we get out..."
She was halfway through her words when she met Xiao Mian's dark and clear gaze. She almost bit her tongue again. It didn't sound like what a serious person would say. It was too wanton.
Leng Mushi realized it belatedly and felt extremely embarrassed. Her face turned red, and she quickly pushed Xiao Mian to stand up. She cleared her throat and said, "Brother Xiao, please hurry up."
Sometimes he is called Brother, and sometimes he suddenly becomes Senior Brother Xiao.
Xiao Mian's heart was made to feel like it was burning on fire at one moment, and then as if it were sinking into water at another. He sighed helplessly.
But he also knew that no matter how reluctant he was to let go, this was not a place suitable for intimacy after all, so he circulated the spiritual power from the Five Elements Pill around his body, drew out the Water Cloud Sword, and slashed fiercely at one side of the flesh wall with the spiritual power.
One, two, three times—
The flesh wall was finally torn open, revealing a ray of light. Xiao Mian poured all of his spiritual power into the sword, and the next moment he stabbed it fiercely at the part of the flesh wall that had just closed and revealed a ray of light.
There was a dull crackling sound, and they glimpsed a stream among the rocks. Xiao Mian did not hesitate at all, and rushed outside with his sword in hand, grabbing Leng Mushi.
They landed on a rock, but instead of relaxing their vigilance, they quickly turned around and formed a formation, ready to deal with the huge monster that had trapped the two people, whose flesh walls were as thick as a mountain and whose recovery ability was amazing.
But when the two turned around, they saw nothing!
"Eh..."
Leng Mushi uttered a cry of surprise, and Xiao Mian's eyes narrowed, but the next moment Leng Mushi shouted, "Over there, on the wall, it's moving, the light and shadow there are different!"
Xiao Mian was about to step forward with his sword in hand, but after a few steps, he stopped and turned to Leng Mushi and said, "It's the Yi demon. It's already run away."
The demon
Leng Mushi, the demon, also knew that this thing had no attack power at all, and it didn't even have any intelligence.
It is made of demonic energy, sticking to any place, relying on its invisibility to eat living things for a living. It is extremely timid, and once discovered, even humans can beat it away with sticks...
"So we were swallowed by the demon?" Leng Mushi turned around and looked around. Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm afraid it didn't want to swallow us, but we just happened to jump into its mouth."
"But that demon is too big, it must have eaten a lot of living things," Leng Mushi also smiled, "I haven't heard of a precedent of anyone being swallowed by a demon."
After all, that kind of timid and gentle creature will give up as long as it struggles. Not to mention cultivators, even mortals will not be eaten by it.
The two looked around several times and confirmed that this was an unfamiliar valley. There were rugged rocks and lush trees everywhere, and a gurgling stream not far away. It was obvious that this was no longer the place where they fell off the cliff.
"Where did it take us?" Leng Mushi muttered.
Xiao Mian shook his head, "I don't know, but the spiritual energy here is very strong, and I didn't find any danger. There is no breath of demons or beasts, and the birds are just ordinary mortal birds."
The two walked a long way and came to the water. The midday sun shone on their bodies and made them feel warm. They were completely sure that there was no danger here. This was just a canyon in an unknown place, and there was no trace of formation. They were actually led out of the Demon Clan's ruins by the Yi Mo.
This place is beautiful with mountains and rivers and no one is living, but when they walked through a forest, they found many spiritual plants.
The stream water is crystal clear and you can see the bottom. The spiritual fish swim around freely without fear of people. This place is simply a paradise lost in the world.
The two men were not in a hurry to find a way out. They ran everywhere in the valley. When their spiritual power was fully restored, Leng Mushi put out the alchemy furnace, lit the fire, and roasted several fish they caught in the furnace. Each of them caught one fish, held it in leaves, and ate it with stream water, looking very satisfied.
"Wow, I'm alive again." Leng Mushi had just finished washing up, and her hair was still wet. She was too lazy to dry it, so it stuck to the side of her neck. She let it dry naturally, and some black ash rubbed off on the corners of her mouth from eating.
In comparison, Xiao Mian was much cleaner and tidier, almost as exquisite as if he were in Taichu Mountain.
They all changed into clean robes, washed, and now had fish to eat. They looked like a pair of evil ghosts who had just escaped from hell and returned to the human world. After covering themselves with human skins, they ate until their bellies were full.
As Xiao Mian finished eating, he kept turning the grilled fish over and over, then manually removed the fish bones for Leng Mushi and handed it to her. He didn't put much food into his mouth himself, fearing that Leng Mushi wouldn't have enough.
Leng Mushi half leaned on his shoulder, taking a bite of fish and a sip of clear spring water, and walked barefoot into the wet but sun-warmed sand beside the stream. She felt that becoming an immortal was just like this.
"Brother, the meat here is so tender, please try it," Leng Mushi grabbed a piece of white meat from the fish belly and handed it to Xiao Mian's mouth.
Xiao Mian opened his mouth and ate it, then raised his hand, dipped it in a little stream water, and gently rubbed Leng Mushi's cheek with his knuckles to remove the black dust.
His eyes were brighter than the sunlight in the stream, and flowing with honey that made Leng Mushi choke to death.
She couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before eating, then pouted and moved closer to Xiao Mian, saying, "The fish meat is a little bland, give me some honey."
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: Brother, you are so sweet.
