The big tree that Jun Xiaomo chose had lush leaves and was so thick that it would take five men to surround it in a circle around the tree's waist.
Lying on one of the tree trunks and looking down through the layers of branches and leaves, Jun Xiaomo could see the top of Qin Lingyu's dark hair. It was obvious that the other party had been chasing her location all the way to get here.
Qin Lingyu looked around, trying to find "Qin Shanshan", but to no avail.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Xiuwen lowered his voice and asked "Qin Shanshan". Jun Xiaomo turned his head and raised his index finger to his lips—
"Shh..."
She blinked slyly, then stretched out her right hand and lightly snapped her fingers.
"Snapped!"
As the sound of snapping fingers fell, the surroundings became foggy, and the scenery gradually became blurred within the range of vision.
"This is… "
"This is a formation within a formation, and it is also the illusion that trapped you before. However, I secretly improved it and enhanced the power of the illusion." Jun Xiaomo raised his chin, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked like Like a cat that had stolen something fishy, it proudly showed off its paws to outsiders.
However, this kind of showing off is not annoying, and it even feels a bit... cute
Seeing the look in Jun Xiaomo's eyes that was completely different from the original Qin Shanshan's, Ye Xiuwen felt dizzy - it was obviously the same face, just a different person, could it be that big of a difference? The original Qin Shanshan would only make him feel disgusted and distant, but now "Qin Shanshan"...
To be honest, it's really hard to hate.
Realizing that "Jun Ziwen" was distracted again, Jun Xiaomo touched him with his elbow and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you still stuck in the illusion and can't get out?"
Ye Xiuwen came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing."
"Generally speaking, 'nothing' means 'something'." Jun Xiaomo nodded firmly, making Ye Xiuwen a little bit dumbfounded. "Speaking of which... I'm also quite curious. What did you see in the illusion? Why was the expression on your face when you were unconscious, a little happy, but also full of sadness and sadness." Jun Xiaomo asked curiously .
The look in Ye Xiuwen's eyes suddenly became deep and bottomless.
For a long time, he did not answer Jun Xiaomo's question.
The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Jun Xiaomo was the first to break the short silence, patted Ye Xiuwen on the shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, I know you don't want to say it, so just don't say it. I won't ask. I won't ask. . By the way, the role of that illusion is to reveal what is hidden deep in a person’s heart and what they desire most. If there is something you really want to do, remember to work hard and don’t leave any regrets to yourself.”
Jun Xiaomo taught this partner who had a bad temper towards her.
What do you want to do most... Ye Xiuwen's eyes were in a trance again.
He thought of the kiss that he interrupted in the fantasy. If it weren't for the fact that the other person was just a false illusion, would he have continued the kiss
An affirmative answer gently settled in Ye Xiuwen's heart.
However, his heart felt heavy because he didn't know if that person was still alive...
"Brother! Have you finally come to pick me up?" A clear voice sounded from below, and Ye Xiuwen's thoughts were interrupted.
Ye Xiuwen looked down and couldn't help but be stunned.
Another Qin Shanshan
"This is just an illusion." Jun Xiaomo secretly leaned into Ye Xiuwen's ear and whispered.
Jun Xiaomo's warm breath sprayed on Ye Xiuwen's ears, causing him to tilt his head unnaturally, avoiding Jun Xiaomo's too close distance.
"Didn't Miss Tong just say that this illusion reveals the deepest desires hidden in people's hearts? Can we see the illusion that belongs to Qin Lingyu?" Ye Xiuwen asked while avoiding it.
Jun Xiaomo, who was careless and slow, did not notice Ye Xiuwen's subtle move. Instead, he bent his eyes, raised his chin, and said with bright eyes: "Of course, with my efforts, there is something in the formation." It can’t be done?”
Ye Xiuwen said in a funny voice, "Yes, Miss Tong treated us like this before, right? Trapping us in one place, then hiding aside and watching our embarrassment and laughing secretly."
Jun Xiaomo coughed dryly, pointed to Qin Lingyu below and said, "Watch a show."
Ye Xiuwen smiled softly and shook his head helplessly.
Under the tree, Qin Lingyu was talking to the phantom "Qin Shanshan". When he released his consciousness, Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen could clearly hear what they said.
"You mean... you have reached the foundation building stage?" Qin Lingyu looked at Qin Shanshan, who was a head shorter than him, with a glint in his eyes.
Qin Shanshan looked very happy and said happily: "Yes, brother, I didn't expect it. It turns out that Xuyang Sect's sect-protecting formation also has this function. I was trapped in it for a long time, and out of boredom, I had to meditate. I have practiced, but I didn’t expect that the speed of practicing in the formation is much faster than outside, and I will soon break through the foundation building stage.”
"Really? Stretch out your hand and let me have a look." Qin Lingyu ordered Qin Shanshan.
Qin Shanshan did not doubt that he was there and did as he was told. Qin Lingyu grabbed Qin Shanshan's wrist and released spiritual energy, which traveled around Qin Shanshan's meridians and Dantian.
Have we really reached the foundation building stage...
Qin Lingyu's eyes suddenly burst into ecstasy!
Qin Shanshan has reached the foundation building stage. Does that mean that the two natal locks can finally be fused? !
"Hiss... Brother, it hurts so much, why are you so strong!" Qin Shanshan cried out in pain, her wrist seemed to be broken.
It turned out that Qin Lingyu couldn't control his strength for a moment and bruised Qin Shanshan's hand.
After letting go of Qin Shanshan's wrist, Qin Lingyu's eyes became very deep, and there was something invisible brewing in his eyes.
"Shanshan, do you still have your brother's birth lock with you?"
"Here, what's wrong?"
"Can you take it out and show it to your brother?" Qin Lingyu's tone became very kind, as if he was a good brother taking care of his sister.
However, Jun Xiaomo, who had been watching secretly from the tree, heard some kind of violation in his tone.
Inexplicably, she had a question in her mind, and she had an intuition that Qin Lingyu was planning something. Just, is this possible? The other party is his biological sister...
Qin Shanshan, who evolved from an illusion, has no independent thinking ability. She will only follow the way Qin Lingyu wants most in her heart. So, she took out the natal lock from her storage ring without hesitation and handed it to Qin Lingyu.
The moment Qin Lingyu got his life lock, a long spiritual sword penetrated Qin Shanshan's chest fiercely.
The other end of the long sword was in Qin Lingyu's hand.
Qin Shanshan's eyes widened with disbelief: "Brother... why..."
"Because I've had enough of you." Qin Lingyu said calmly, his eyes completely indifferent.
Qin Shanshan fell to the ground and died, her eyes wide open, as if she could not believe that her brother would kill her with his own hands until she died.
I will never die with my eyes in peace.
Qin Lingyu took his own natal lock and shook it, then took out Qin Shanshan's natal lock, squatted down, and placed the natal lock on the wound on Qin Shanshan's chest.
The blood in the wound had not yet solidified. As soon as Qin Shanshan's natal lock was stained with the blood, it stuck to it tightly. After a moment, a red light passed and Qin Shanshan's natal lock turned blood red.
Qin Lingyu also treated his natal lock in the same way. Of course, he didn't say anything to his heart, but cut a medium-deep scar on his wrist.
Soon, his natal lock also turned blood red.
Qin Lingyu put the two locks together. Soon, the two locks melted and emitted bursts of red light.
"Interesting." Jun Xiaomo touched his chin and said almost to himself.
"What's so interesting?" Ye Xiuwen felt that Jun Xiaomo's expression was quite playful.
"The two things on Qin Lingyu's hand are called 'birth locks'. I have seen them in Qin Shanshan's storage ring. I always thought that the life lock only shows the life and death of the owner. Unexpectedly, the one on Qin Lingyu's hand seems to be If there is another use, let’s see.”
As soon as Jun Xiaomo finished speaking, the two natal locks in Qin Lingyu's hands took on new changes. They slowly merged together and finally turned into a new lock.
Qin Lingyu fumbled with the lock, and then heard a crisp "click" sound. The lock opened, revealing a groove in the middle.
From this groove, Qin Lingyu took out a piece of cloth and spread it out. The pattern on it could be clearly seen.
"Hahahahahaha..." Qin Lingyu looked up to the sky and laughed, "I finally got the key to the secret realm, hahahahahaha..."
Qin Lingyu seemed to be going crazy. The villain's triumphant look made Jun Xiaomo shrug his nose in disgust.
How blind did she have to be to fall in love with such a person? Even his own sister was killed!
Ye Xiuwen didn't understand what Qin Lingyu was holding - "The key to the secret realm?"
"The piece of cloth in Qin Lingyu's hand should be a formation diagram, which can be used to open the secret realm, so it is also called the 'secret realm key'." Jun Xiaomo explained.
Ye Xiuwen nodded thoughtfully. He originally thought the "key" would be like a lock-opening thing in the mortal world, but he didn't expect it to be a picture.
"Hmph, I'm afraid Qin Lingyu is thinking about this thing in his dreams. Unfortunately, he can only enjoy it in the fantasy world. Qin Shanshan is no longer in this world. The piece of natal lock he is holding in his hand It is destined to be invalidated." Jun Xiaomo sneered and looked at Qin Lingyu coldly.
Looking at Qin Lingyu's twisted and ferocious smile, Jun Xiaomo frowned in disgust.
The corners of her lips curled up, revealing a nasty smile. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers again.
A gust of breeze blew by, the trees were dimmed, and it became foggy again.
Qin Lingyu's laughter stopped in shock, because Qin Shanshan's body on the ground suddenly disappeared, and the cloth in his hand turned into a puff of smoke and could no longer be seen.
"What's going on?! Where is the key to my secret realm?!" Qin Lingyu seemed to be going crazy, trying to get the piece of cloth back.
After Jun Xiaomo admired Qin Lingyu's anxious look for a while, he waved his sleeves and threw five talismans in the air where Qin Lingyu could not see them, forming a formation.
"Hey, are you going crazy like this? That's just an appetizer, and the main event is next!"
Jun Xiaomo said calmly, the coldness in his eyes was as real as if he wanted to pierce Qin Lingyu's body.
