Longjing, Yan Mountain, Myriad Swords Sect.
“Fei’er, junior sister… time to eat…” Meng Le parried the dense demonic energy sweeping towards him with his Flying Flower Sword and Listening Rain Sword, while pushing the food box towards the inner end of the golden chain. “Don’t you love the chicken soup made by your brother-in-law the most… I specially snuck down the mountain to have a master chef at a restaurant prepare a pot of chicken soup, and brought it to you, pot and all. You should eat something…”
Upon hearing the words "brother-in-law," the demonic energy within the golden chain surged again, impacting the chain's seal. However, a large character "封" (Seal) appeared on the chain, immediately re-containing the demonic energy.
A figure in plain white flashed before Meng Le. He took the sand pot from Meng Le's hand and said, “Meng Le, you can go back.”
“Sect Master…” Meng Le saw Yi Tianxing appear and knew he couldn’t help, so he paid his respects and turned to descend the mountain.
Yi Tianxing looked at the monstrous demonic energy within the golden chain and sighed silently. He placed the sand pot on the ground, took out a small gourd from his embrace, and sprinkled a little powder towards Mo Fei within the chain.
Seeing the demonic energy intensify, Yi Tianxing’s calm eyes showed a hint of madness and desire. However, he maintained his composure and pushed the sand pot into the chain's barrier. He watched as the sand pot was instantly sliced into several pieces by violent sword qi, spilling the warm chicken soup across the ground, emitting a faint fragrance.
The aroma seemed to momentarily halt the flow of demonic energy, but it quickly resumed.
Yi Tianxing waited until the demonic energy expanded, then contracted, then expanded and contracted again, until it stabilized at a certain threshold, before he transformed into a streak of light and returned to the main peak.
Entering the cave dwelling, Yi Tianxing lowered his head, touched his chest, and took out a jade pendant.
Under the surge of spiritual energy, the jade pendant projected an image of King Qin Guang.
“What do you want?” Yi Tianxing asked coldly.
“King Yama, the girl’s demonicization has deepened, hasn’t it?” King Qin Guang asked.
“The powder you gave me was very effective. The demonic energy has increased by at least fifty percent. Coupled with my constant guidance on sword intent, she’s probably ready to break through to the seventh stage at any moment.”
“Good… you’ve done well.” King Qin Guang nodded.
“What exactly are you trying to do, you old hag? Are you trying to have this girl succeed me?” Yi Tianxing impatiently put down the cold tea and asked.
“What do you know…” King Qin Guang snorted. “However, I must say, King Taishan has indeed helped me a great deal…”
“This girl’s demonic energy surged a few days ago, she lost control of her emotions, and charged out of the Sword Sect like a madwoman. If I hadn’t stopped her, who knows how many people she would have killed… what’s going on?”
“It’s simple… do you know what the most representative skill of Cheng Ying Sword, one of the Ten Great Swords, is?”
“One is Yin Yang Division (two forms of conversion and choice), and the other is…” Yi Tianxing suddenly thought of something and said incredulously, “It can’t be Tong Xin, can it?”
Seeing King Qin Guang remain silent, Yi Tianxing frowned and asked, “This little girl already has a partner for [Tong Xin] at such a young age? If the man betrays her, her life will be ruined… Who will she be [Tong Xin] with?”
At this moment, a vague thought suddenly appeared in Yi Tianxing’s mind. His eyelids twitched, and he said to King Qin Guang, “It can’t be her brother, can it…”
This woman… is truly terrifying…
…
At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Mo Chuan and Luo Ni lay on the vast grassland.
“Luo Ni.”
“What is it, my lord?”
“Do you remember that I need to return to reality?” Mo Chuan complained and lightly slapped Luo Ni’s pert backside, saying, “We’ve been to these ruins for almost a week, haven’t we?”
“Hehe~ I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you~ I’m a bit hard of hearing today, and I need kisses to be cured~” With that, the entire being, er, not the entire being, but the entire demon began to move towards Mo Chuan’s face.
“This is the last time…” Mo Chuan looked at the "waypoints (4/4)" in the quest progress prompt and decided to indulge Luo Ni one more time, as the Empress setting was indeed quite appealing.
Mo Chuan and Luo Ni’s lips touched, and their hands unconsciously intertwined. On both of their wrists, a pair of bracelets woven from flowers and grass glowed faintly.
For the past few days, Luo Ni had been taking Mo Chuan through various ruins, and they had even received the blessings of the guardians of each ruin. These bracelets were a gift from the Queen Mother of the West, the lord of Kunlun Mountain, as proof of their eternal union.
Thinking of that gentle woman riding a white tiger with fierce eyes, Mo Chuan couldn’t help but shiver—her aura was too terrifying; Mo Chuan even felt a bloodline suppression.
“Alright…” Mo Chuan hugged Luo Ni and vigorously ruffled her fluffy hair. “Take me to the Dunhuang ruins. I really need to find my teammates. I can’t wait any longer.”
As soon as Mo Chuan finished speaking, Luo Ni in his arms let out a slightly manic laugh.
Several Yellow Sand Soldiers instantly appeared, pinning Mo Chuan’s limbs firmly. Luo Ni then sat up from Mo Chuan’s embrace, turned, and straddled Mo Chuan’s abdomen like a duck.
“My lord…” Luo Ni took off her golden mask and gently placed it on Mo Chuan’s face, slightly covering his eyes. Then, cupping his slightly flushed cheeks with both hands, her emerald eyes gleamed with a sickly light as she said, “Do you know how long I’ve waited for you?” (Image here)
Without waiting for Mo Chuan’s answer, Luo Ni leaned down again, pressing against Mo Chuan’s chest, and said, “It was so hard for me to finally wait for you… how could I possibly let you go?”
A thousand years of waiting and loneliness are enough to transform and distort any love and longing into a distorted emotion.
“This time… no one can separate us…” Luo Ni gently stroked Mo Chuan’s face and whispered, “This time, I won’t let go…”
“Luo Ni…” Mo Chuan sighed slightly, activated [Soul Severing Grasp] and [Night Cut] to casually scatter the Yellow Sand Soldiers, and then said, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. This time, can you return to reality with me?”
As he spoke, he casually picked up a round stone, and with a flash of his scythe, it transformed into a crude embroidered ball, which he handed to Luo Ni. “Here, let’s throw it again.”
Luo Ni stared blankly at the “embroidered ball” in her hand. Her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer. She first began to have difficulty breathing, then started to sob, and finally couldn’t help but throw herself into Mo Chuan’s arms and cry hysterically.
“Why are you doing this! Woooo— I, I finally made up my mind to keep you, and you’re doing this to me— I’ll go soft— Woooo—”
This foolish child…
Mo Chuan was speechless at this kind of simple-minded yandere and could only pat Luo Ni’s back, letting her sob out her hiccups.
