Leng Mushi finally put her face aside and flirted with someone. Although she said that she would not do anything excessive, she was actually heading for excessive amounts of things.
She didn't want to wait any longer, what about tomorrow or after, what about becoming Taoist couples first as Xiao Mian said, she didn't know how much time God had left for them. Leng Mushi didn't care about anything, she didn't want to leave any regrets.
She had heard of Liu Xia Hui who remained calm even when a woman sat on his lap, but she never imagined that Xiao Mian was a living Xiao Xia Hui. He could actually hold himself back in that situation. Leng Mushi almost doubted that his feelings for her were fake.
However, he also lost control halfway through, and Leng Mushi was so frightened that she almost wanted to run away. But in the end, they still didn't really cross the line. Xiao Mian, with red eyes, pressed her shoulders and said, "No."
Leng Mushi looked at the blue veins on his forehead and couldn't bear to force him any further.
So after coming out of the bathtub, the two of them performed the cleansing technique and then lay on the bed. Xiao Mian held her and kept apologizing. Leng Mushi's ears were callused from listening to him.
She couldn't stand it anymore and broke away from him and sat up, "I said it's okay! You didn't force me, I took the initiative, don't we love each other?!"
Xiao Mian lay on his side looking at her, his long hair scattered on the soft pillow, he looked handsome, and because of their previous intimacy, his red lips were as bright as flower petals.
He moved his lips and looked at Leng Mushi like this. His face slowly turned red with embarrassment. "I know. I won't say any more. Then lie down quickly."
When Xiao Mian thought of the two of them's previous intimacy, his whole body felt numb. As soon as Leng Mushi lay down, he quickly hugged her and rested his head on the side of her neck. He arched a few times and then buried himself in her hair without moving.
The night was long, and most of it had already passed.
The two of them didn't accomplish anything great, but neither of them could sleep. They just snuggled up to each other in such an intimate posture, occasionally kissing each other, doing what all men and women in this world would do.
They didn't speak for a long time, only the gradually overlapping heartbeats and breathing of each other sounded like thunder in the quiet night.
I don’t know how long it took, Leng Mushi felt that her butt was numb from lying down, so she whispered: "Let’s change positions, my butt is numb."
Xiao Mian said "hmm" without hesitation, as if he was waiting for Leng Mushi to say this. He hugged Leng Mushi to his soft pillow and embraced her as she turned sideways.
Leng Mushi buried herself in Xiao Mian's arms. Xiao Mian tentatively patted her numb waist and hips. With a little spiritual power in his palm, he quickly wiped away the uncomfortable feeling.
Leng Mushi closed her eyes, her body hugged by Xiao Mian, her nostrils filled with his scent. She could feel his breath gently passing over her head, and could also hear his strong heartbeat.
Everything was so real. She could clearly feel Xiao Mian's body temperature, his breathing and heartbeat, but why wasn't he an ordinary person
If he was, they could be like all the other ordinary men and women in the world, falling in love with each other. Maybe it wouldn't last forever, and maybe in the end they would become a pair of resentful couple and go their separate ways, but at least when they were together, they wouldn't have to be like this now.
It's so heartbreaking.
Leng Mushi intended to tell Xiao Mian everything. This was better than returning to the sect and having someone else tell him.
She used her soul thread to cover the Heavenly Demon Pill, but that was only a temporary way to delay the attack. She could not suppress the awakening of the Heavenly Demon after all, just like she could not control the way of heaven or manipulate the cycle of life and death.
Leng Mushi and Hua Yanyue discussed for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion and method that, in addition to using her soul thread to restrain the demon, the most important thing was to return to the sect and use the prison formation that imprisoned demons in the forbidden area to suppress the awakening of the Heavenly Demon Pill.
This is the only thing they can do to delay the awakening of the demon, but it can only delay it.
This feeling was like a sharp sword hanging over her head. Leng Mushi reached out and hugged Xiao Mian, closing her eyes and burying herself completely in his arms.
"I feel so happy." Xiao Mian suddenly said, "I thought I would have to pursue you for another thirty to fifty years before you would raise your head from the alchemy furnace and really take a good look at me."
Xiao Mian rubbed his chin against Leng Mushi's head a few times, ruffling her hair, "But you agreed to be with me so quickly, and you like me so much..."
In the demon clan's ruins and in the valley of the Peach Blossom Land, including what Leng Mushi did tonight, Xiao Mian now truly felt that he had received a response from Leng Mushi that was several times more enthusiastic than his own.
How could Xiao Mian not be happy? There are countless infatuated men and resentful women in this world. I like you and you happen to like me too. It is such a rare thing.
Leng Mushi heard this in his arms. The words that were about to come to her lips to tell him the truth turned around and around on the tip of her tongue, and then she swallowed them.
Forget it, I'll explain it to him before we go back to the mountain.
Therefore, Leng Mushi cooperated very well, "Yes, I really like you, you are handsome, gentle, and big words."
Xiao Mian paused, and after realizing what Leng Mushi was talking about, he seemed to be back in that narrow, stuffy bathtub. He suddenly felt hot, and his spine and tailbone became numb.
But after a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "How...how... "
How can you be so reckless
However, Xiao Mian did not say this, because he liked her very much. Leng Mushi never spoke in a polite manner to others, so Xiao Mian thought that no matter how she treated him, it was love.
So he just said: "Love makes me uncomfortable..."
"I didn't ask you to feel bad. I don't care about Yuan Yin, or whether we are Taoist partners or not. I... well."
Xiao Mian covered her mouth to stop her from speaking. He was so embarrassed that even the back of his hand turned blood red.
Xiao Mian didn't really care, but he just felt it was too fast. They had just informed Hua Yanyue, and if he took advantage of this time to do something with Leng Mushi right away, it would be too disrespectful.
Moreover, many disciples were killed or injured this time. Even though he could hardly suppress his emotions, he was still very sad in his heart. He didn't want his intimacy with Leng Mushi to be mixed with any sad emotions.
The most important thing is that this place is too simple. Even if he can't bear to wait until the wedding night to have sex with her, it shouldn't be such a simple place.
Xiao Mian is a very stubborn person in some aspects. Otherwise, he would not have been rejected by Leng Mushi and even insisted on being with her after teasing her.
He had been stubbornly planning everything between him and Leng Mushi. Now many of his plans had been disrupted, but he still wanted to act dignified.
After all, in his plan, what they needed to be anxious about was not how to taste the most delicious fruit first, but how to delay each other's boredom in the long journey to immortality in order to achieve the goal of really reaching the end.
He didn't know that he no longer had time to carry out these plans one by one. Leng Mushi couldn't bear to tell him, so she had to indulge him and go along with him.
The two of them stayed in the inn for one night, but neither of them slept well that night. The next morning, when they checked out, they had to pay compensation to the inn for the soaked floor.
Leng Mushi took the initiative to compensate the store with a horse, and then she and Xiao Mian rode on one horse to continue their journey.
When Xiao Mian was riding a horse, she snuggled in his cloak, leaning against his chest. Her nose tip turned red from the cold wind of early winter, but she refused to open the barrier. She spoke to Xiao Mian with excitement as he spoke very ordinary family conversations.
She was reluctant to let go of such time, as she always felt that she had to be aware of it. For example, she had never deliberately circulated her spiritual power, so that her fingertips and lips were numb from the cold. These would be the marks that would remain when she recalled all this in the future.
Live every day as if it were your last.
Leng Mushi and Xiao Mian were very happy along the way, especially Leng Mushi's obedience, which almost made Xiao Mian feel elated.
She is too good to herself.
But even though they were not in a hurry, they kept moving forward. Finally, when another heavy snow fell, they finally reached the town at the foot of Mount Taichu.
Xiao Mian was in a hurry to go back, but Leng Mushi coquettishly suggested that they stay in the town for another night.
"Can you stay one more night, brother?" Leng Mushi said. "I heard from the vendors that the winter solstice is coming soon. Lanterns have been hung on the streets at night, and the vendors haven't closed their stalls yet. It must be very lively."
Leng Mushi's eyes were so bright, and the pleading and coquettishness in them were so touching, so Xiao Mian had no choice but to agree. So the two of them found an inn in the city and planned to stay there for one last night.
It just so happened that the inn where they were staying also had some disciples who had been injured in the Demon Clan's ruins and were recovering from their injuries while traveling, and had just arrived at the foot of Taichu Mountain.
Xiao Mian went to inquire and check at night, and after coming back, he accompanied Leng Mushi shopping.
Because this town is close to Taichu Mountain, it is a good place where evil spirits will not invade and disturb it. Also, because it has some relationship with the Five Grains Hall of Taichu Mountain, this town is particularly rich and comfortable, and is even not inferior to the capitals of some small countries.
The two men walked around the brightly lit streets, looking at the many things displayed by the vendors, including lanterns in the shape of magical instruments. It was obvious that the craftsman had seen these before, as the lanterns were made very cleverly, and when lit up they really looked like the magical instruments offered by the immortals.
Leng Mushi picked it up curiously and looked at it. Xiao Mian followed behind her and laughed, "This is a celestial disk. Taichu Sect also has it, but it is not often used. This is a common thing used by the monks of Yan Sect to calculate the weather."
"Oh, that's right!" The boss was a rather young and strong man with a broad nose and thick lips, and he looked very honest. "This little fairy is very knowledgeable. When this lamp is lit, it looks exactly like what I saw the disciples of Yanzong calculate that year. Give me one to entertain you."
Leng Mushi smiled. She didn't want to buy it, she just looked at it curiously. However, Xiao Mian had already taken out his storage bag and handed the merchant a silver bead that was circulated in the mortal world.
"You don't need so many. Three copper beads are enough." The vendor reached into his wide sleeves and handed the found copper beads to Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian took it, lit the lamp, and handed it to Leng Mushi.
Leng Mushi smiled like a flower, "Thank you, brother."
The two continued to walk with lanterns, and walked for a long time on a short street, stopping from time to time. Xiao Mian followed behind Leng Mushi, watching her look at some women's jewelry, but he just looked at them without touching them, and smiled slightly.
The Taichu Sect does not allow its disciples to wear random pearl hairpins and rings, in order to prevent themselves from getting hurt due to their lack of cultivation when exorcising evil spirits, and also to prevent these things from becoming carriers of evil spirits and escaping.
But there is no reason why girls would not like these things. Some things that are not sharp and cannot store any spiritual energy can be worn secretly without being told by the disciples of the Punishment Hall. Xiao Mian always sees Zhu Rong wearing a lot of things.
Xiao Mian actually had something to give to Leng Mushi, and he had been preparing it for a long time. He had intended it as a gift to celebrate her advancement, but so many things happened later that the thing had been kept at the innermost part of the storage bag. He had thought it was lost until he found it while rummaging through the silver beads.
Xiao Mian was holding the thing in his hand, and when Leng Mushi turned her gaze away from the stall, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
"I have something for you." Xiao Mian said, "I have been making it for a long time. I originally gave it to you as a gift for your advancement, but now it is a gift for us to be together."
He tied a red string with a jade buckle around Leng Mushi's wrist. Leng Mushi lowered her head to take a look and asked with a smile, "Why are you wearing something like this? How can two gifts be combined?"
Xiao Mian smiled and said "yeah", "It's merged."
The jade button was an ordinary item, more ordinary than any other item in the market. It had cracks from years of wear and was broken. The red string couldn't even wrap around the gap. It looked like no one would want it even if it was thrown on the roadside.
But after Xiao Mian put it on Leng Mushi, he solemnly held her hand and said, "This was given to me when I was a child, fleeing from famine. I was dying..."
He was halfway through his words when Leng Mushi, who was smiling tenderly, suddenly became serious, grabbed him and turned and ran away.
Xiao Mian didn't understand why, but he followed Leng Mushi and ran. Leng Mushi circulated her spiritual power and used all her life's ability to pull Xiao Mian and keep dodging the wind that was chasing her from behind.
"Don't look back!" Leng Mushi sent a voice message to Xiao Mian, "Brother Xiao, do you believe me? Follow me and don't look back!"
Xiao Mian didn't look back after hearing her words, but Leng Mushi looked back. Those people who came through the wind holding the Immortal Binding Ropes, who else could they be but disciples of the Punishment Hall? !
It’s coming too fast!
He didn't even give her any time, and she didn't even have the chance to tell Xiao Mian the truth!
What's wrong with Master? Didn't she say that she would take Xiao Mian back to the mountain? Why did she send someone here anyway? Could it be that she couldn't persuade the headmaster Zhengping? !
Leng Mushi's mind raced instantly, and she had already pulled Xiao Mian far away. Although her cultivation had reached the peak of the Moon Level, she was an alchemy cultivator after all, and did not specialize in combat. Even this escape skill was something she was forced to learn in the Cangsheng Academy.
Xiao Mian didn't understand what was going on, and Leng Mushi didn't let him turn back. He was just about to fly up on his sword and pull Leng Mushi along to run away, but the two of them had already crashed into a forest and flew to the edge of a cliff.
Leng Mushi had strong night vision and could see clearly that there was a lake under the cliff. She held Xiao Mian's hand and asked, "Xiao Mian, do you dare to jump with me again?"
Before Xiao Mian could say anything, the disciple from the Punishment Hall who was chasing him had already approached. He swung the Immortal Binding Rope towards the two people without hesitation, but the man who followed closely blocked it with a pure spiritual power and rolled it back.
Leng Mushi didn't look back. She heard the person coming say, "Junior sister, why are you so confused? Are you going to defect with him?"
Xiao Mian had been listening to Leng Mushi's words and didn't look back, but when he heard the familiar voice, he turned around in confusion and saw Xuan Zhu standing behind them, looking at Leng Mushi with a disgusted look on his face.
"The elders are all waiting to form a formation. If you take him away, where will our Master be?"
"Senior Brother Xuanzhu, why are you here?" The moment Xiao Mian asked in confusion, several immortal ropes were wrapped around his waist.
Leng Mushi did not forget the lantern in her hand while running, but when she looked down, the light had gone out long ago, and a piece of the lantern was burnt, leaving a black hole. She did not even see when it was burned.
Leng Mushi stared at the hole, as if she saw her current heart.
She heard Xiao Mian being restrained by the Immortal Binding Rope behind her and asked in confusion. Even at this time, he was still in a good tone and not angry, which showed how much trust he had in his fellow disciples.
Leng Mushi turned her head slowly. She didn't feel like she was crying, but her vision was getting blurry. She looked at Xiao Mian. It would be futile to say anything now, as Xiao Mian would soon meet the elders and know everything.
So Leng Mushi just wiped her face in the end, walked to his side and said, "Brother, don't be afraid, I will definitely come to see you."
"What's going on? What?" Xiao Mian was quickly taken away by the disciples of the Punishment Hall. Leng Mushi stood in the forest holding a lantern. After a moment, Xuan Zhu hugged her in his arms and touched her long hair.
"Junior sister, why do you have to be so persistent? The road of cultivation is ultimately a lonely one. Didn't you understand it a long time ago?"
Xuan Zhu said: "If you can't let him go now, you will definitely have demons in your heart in the future. You are a rare genius in the way of alchemy. Do you really want to be trapped by love and stop on the road to greatness?"
Leng Mushi didn't say anything. She just stood in the direction where Xiao Mian was taken away for a while, then let go of the lamp and it fell to the ground.
She replied: "I didn't want to run away with him. I had already brought him back. I just wanted to..." I wanted to tell him in person, and to stay with him for one more night.
She didn't finish her words in the end, and followed Xuanzhu back to Taichu Mountain overnight.
Xiao Mian was taken directly to the forbidden area by the disciples of the Punishment Hall, and Tianxuzi finally told him his current situation in person.
Xiao Mian felt as if he were dreaming, but he was pressed to the ground by the Prison Array and couldn't even lift his head. He felt dizzy, and then blood was oozing from all seven orifices. He was vaguely aware that he might never get out.
He didn't understand why he became a demon. When did the devil take over his body
He clearly has water spirit roots. He is the favorite disciple of Tianxuzi, the fifth elder of Taichu Sect. He is...
The Prison Delusion Array is a large array used by the Taichu Sect to suppress evil demons. Xiao Mian had been here once, and only once, when he followed his master to clean up a demon cultivator who had gone mad due to being imprisoned and attempted to break into the array.
Xiao Mian was only sixteen years old at that time, but he was not afraid. Even if the demon cultivator exploded on the spot, revealing his ugliness, he just kept a solemn and handsome face and watched Tianxuzi calmly kill the demon cultivator, and then burned all traces with a spiritual fire.
Tianxuzi was very satisfied with his condition at that time. Since then, he has valued him more and more, praised him for his integrity and self-control, and entrusted many miscellaneous matters in the sect to him.
Xiao Mian never imagined that one day, he would be imprisoned in this formation as a demon by his master who had taught him to exorcise evil spirits in the past, along with other elders who were always kind to him.
He is a human being, how can he withstand the crushing of this prison array? Xiao Mian lay on the ground, feeling his internal organs being crushed over and over again, he couldn't even take a deep breath.
He thought of Leng Mushi, remembered her abnormal behavior along the way, remembered how she always hesitated to speak, and finally tried to run away with him.
Xiao Mian, like the other demons in the forbidden area, was lying on the ground, feeling a life worse than death, and was suppressed in this formation while barely surviving. This way, his magic pill would not awaken, and he... would not die.
Xiao Mian heard from the elders that he was just a wisp of consciousness that had survived by chance after being parasitized by the Heavenly Demon. He didn't even have a soul. This wisp of consciousness was also living by parasitizing the Heavenly Demon, so he was not considered a human being.
He had been in Taichu Mountain for so many years, but suddenly he was not even considered a human being. Xiao Mian felt indescribably depressed. He had countless words he wanted to say, questions he wanted to ask, and resistance he wanted to resist.
Even a man with his temperament wanted to escape from here by betraying his master and ancestors. He couldn't help but think of the demon cultivator he saw that year who, after knowing that he could not escape, would rather choose to self-destruct tragically than be imprisoned here any longer.
Xiao Mian felt that he was going crazy. This prison formation worked day and night, and the pressure inside the formation did not give anyone a chance to breathe. This was to prevent the demons from mobilizing their demonic energy. Over the years, the exhaustion would eventually kill them.
Xiao Mian lay on the ground, feeling that every second he was about to have all his bones crushed by the invisible pressure and turned into a pool of flesh.
"Hey, kid, there's no demonic energy in you, so why are you locked up? What crime have you committed? Did you betray your teacher and ancestors? Hahahaha—"
Not far behind him, there was a demon cultivator who looked relaxed and at ease, sitting cross-legged and looking at him. His laughter was sharp and unpleasant in this space.
The man's appearance could not be clearly seen, and there was no way to tell how many years he had been imprisoned here. But when he smiled, all the demons in the prison formation laughed along with him. It was like devilish sound piercing his ears, and Xiao Mian vomited blood.
He gritted his teeth and wanted to roar, "Stop laughing!", but he couldn't utter a word.
He remembered what Leng Mushi said, that she would come to see him. Xiao Mian's eyes were filled with tears. When would she come
Leng Mushi returned to Cangshengyuan and returned to the days of evolving pill formulas and practicing hard day after day. If Hua Yanyue had not been able to see that she had not taken the Soul-Forgetting Pill, she would even have thought that Leng Mushi had forgotten Xiao Mian.
Not long after, Leng Mushi handed over the first batch of Soul Sealing Pills she had made for Ying Sect to Yin Yi who came to pick them up. She also exchanged some rare treasures from him and once again devoted herself to refining pills day and night.
Leng Mushi looked completely normal. She went to Cangshengyuan for meals every day and even talked to Leng Tianyin. She just occasionally stared blankly at the broken jade buckle tied with a red string on her wrist.
Xiaomei returned to the Third Elder's tutelage, and Fenlian also had a new master. The Third Elder was very enthusiastic. Leng Mushi went there twice, but seeing that they were all doing well, she stopped going there.
She even went to see You Zishu. He only had one arm left, and practicing sword skills was much more difficult than before. However, even though he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to become the successor to the head of the sect, he was still very diligent.
Leng Mushi proposed an idea to him, but it was only an initial idea, and one that could not be told to anyone. After she left, You Zishu's face, which had always been calm, twisted for a moment, and a line of tears slid down.
It is impossible for him not to care, and it is impossible for him not to feel bitter.
Leng Mushi told him that she was developing a new elixir recently, and she also told You Zishu what she knew about the Yi Demon.
When the Yi Demon is in a certain static state, it can ensure that there is no demonic energy on its body. It can even be cut at will and quickly restored. It can also survive in any harsh environment, and can even wrap Leng Mushi and Xiao Mian up to leave the demon ruins.
This shows that even the great formation has no aggression against something so low-level and incompetent.
What Leng Mushi proposed was a fantasy. Perhaps they could try to create an arm with the body of the Yi Demon, but You Zishu would need to re-cut the wound of the broken arm so that the Yi Demon could parasitize on his body.
However, even You Zishu did not hold out any hope for such an absurd statement. How could a human body connect with the body of a demon
Everyone avoided the topic of Xiao Mian. Leng Mushi did not mention it either. Yi Tu, Xingzhou and Leng Tianyin wanted to talk about it but stopped themselves several times. However, they thought that Xiao Mian was essentially just a wisp of consciousness. If he could not let go, it would cause endless troubles for Leng Mushi. So everyone did not mention Xiao Mian in front of Leng Mushi.
But even though those close to him didn't mention it, Leng Mushi always heard other disciples mention it. More than a month had passed since Xiao Mian was imprisoned in the Prison Array.
On New Year's Eve on earth, several immortal sects gathered again on Taichu Mountain because of the latest tremors in Blood Demon Mountain. After killing the monsters and beasts in the Demon Clan's ruins in the formation, they discussed how to continue suppressing the tremors in Blood Demon Mountain and the awakening of the four great demon generals.
Leng Mushi used the Lingyin Pill to hide her voice. At the gathering of various sects, she heard someone suggest that if they dug out the magic pill and crushed it on the Blood Demon Mountain, perhaps they could stop the four demon generals from awakening.
Although this proposal was quickly refuted by the immortals in the sect who were not crazy, when people are desperate and about to face dangers that they cannot deal with or even cannot predict, they can do anything.
The awakening of the demon is inevitable, and all the sects have already made preparations for the battle. Their recent discussions have been to delay the battle for as long as possible.
When the meeting was halfway through, Leng Mushi used the Soul-Sealing Pill to create a small disturbance around the forbidden area. Then he took a Spirit-Hidden Pill made by Yi Mo, which could conceal his figure and breath. While the disciples guarding the forbidden area opened the forbidden area to check, he sneaked in quietly.
She had been preparing for so long, and the time had finally come. After she slipped into the forbidden area, she searched through each prison array. When she finally found Xiao Mian, her heart suddenly sank.
He was lying in a pool of blood, his face pale and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Under the suppression of the Prison Array, there was no demonic energy or spiritual power around him, just like an ordinary person. He curled up in the center of the array with his eyes closed, and even his breathing was so light that it was barely audible.
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: My mom said, it’s a happy ending, don’t panic, it’s not a big problem.
