Chapter 6, Choice
In the blink of an eye, Ji Yunhe's sharp gaze suddenly softened, and she turned to smile, adopting a carefree demeanor once more
Ji Yunhe was truly amused by him, shaking her head and laughing in his arms for quite a while, and finally said: "You really are a serious and meticulous big-tailed fish"
She also heard Chang Yi's response
The room seemed to be filled with invisible threads, binding every joint of hers, manipulating her anew. Ji Yunhe simply closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight of herself in such a state
Ji Yunhe almost ran back to the direction of the pond in small steps
Ji Yunhe merely gazed at her reflection in the stream and replied: "The phoenix will certainly not be mistaken, but this is a manifestation born from the phoenix's tumultuous emotions. She appears to be mad, her mind is no longer very clear..."
Ning Ruochu should also be a demon tamer with feelings and loyalty
For a moment, she felt as if her entire skull had been torn apart from all directions, causing an unbearable discomfort
I just decided in my heart, if I win, we will jump down; if you win, we will stay here. Ji Yunhe wrapped her hand around Chang Yi's fist and grinned, "So, let's jump."
Stepping on her freedom and dignity, he said to her, I am magnanimous and would never condemn you for this
She thought that if it were really Ning Ruo Chu, she would probably say something like this
Since that old man Lin Canglan wants her to stay alive, he won't kill her for the time being, and he even intends to protect her position as a guardian. If she doesn't act aloof now, when will she? She has already been schemed against and mocked by them; can she not even lie down now?
Who are you
To choose this first path, Ji Yunhe cannot continue on.
It is indeed much faster than Ji Yunhe's legs.
The attached demon extended its hand, wrapping both arms around Ji Yunhe. The body of the attached demon was devoid of warmth, as cold as the waters of a pond, yet its words were filled with warmth.
As soon as Chang Yi arrived, he was met with a remark that left him momentarily stunned: "I wasn't by the stream earlier."
Before encountering the spirit, Ji Yunhe had sorted out the awkward emotions she had just experienced. She cleared her throat and stepped forward
Ji Yunhe, what you think in your heart is of no concern to the master, but what you think can only remain in your heart. What you must do is only what the master allows you to do
You, as a merman, have not interacted with humans and do not understand the rules of this world. In any case, if I were to approach that attached demon in this manner, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance of success.
But ... ...
Considering Chang Yi's temperament, Ji Yunhe smiled and said, "You are not really counting, are you?"
She slightly nodded, brushing her silver hair to her lips, and before Chang Yi could react, her slightly dry lips pressed against Chang Yi's still damp long hair
"Without any sincerity?" This remark seemed to provoke Ji Yunhe, who crouched down, took a half step forward, leaned closer to Changyi, and raised a hand to tuck a strand of Changyi's silver hair behind his ear, "Of course..."
Perhaps since the moment the demon was formed, its mind has been incomplete; or perhaps it has waited too long and has become confused; or perhaps... waiting for Ning Ruochu has also become a task that must be accomplished for her
It is, I just didn't expect you to be such a serious and meticulous person, that you would also sing for her when the demon disappeared just now
After Ji Yunhe finished speaking, she did not give Chang Yi a chance to refuse. She leaned back, smiling at Chang Yi, allowing her body to fall into the abyss of darkness, while the hand that enveloped Chang Yi's fist turned and slipped into his palm, grasping his hand firmly, never to let go again
Having said that, Ji Yunhe waved her hand and left as if fleeing.
For Ji Yunhe, there is no doubt that the first path is the easier one to take. If it were the first day she met the merman, she would certainly choose the first path as well
The merman broke through the cold water surface with the beast master and leaped out. Sunlight poured down, and the warm sun of March illuminated the entire body
How do you plan to try?
Those pair of cold, ice-blue eyes, their color has deepened significantly compared to before
Chang Yi turned to look at Ji Yunhe and said, "Both sides are uncertain choices, what do you wish to discuss with me?"
Guardian of the Law
Ji Yunhe let out a cold smile
Ji Yunhe's gaze involuntarily turned towards the main hall of Lifeng Hall. In a daze, she caught a glimpse of Lin Canglan sitting in a wheelchair. Before Ji Yunhe could see clearly, she felt a flash of white light in front of her, followed by a sharp pain like a needle piercing her forehead
When unable to make a decision, leave it to fate
She looked at Ji Yunhe, furrowing her brows as if she wanted to see through her. But no matter how she scrutinized, in the end, she still trembled at the corners of her lips and asked Ji Yunhe: "Why did you only come to find me now?"
Qing Shu continued, saying: "He asked: 'What do you want to do to her?'"
Ji Yunhe was taken aback upon hearing this, but soon calmed down. From the moment she left the Shifang Array and landed in the backyard of the Lifeng Hall, she had anticipated such a result. Lin Canglan could not possibly be unaware of her actions prior to falling into the Shifang Array.
Chang Yi furrowed her brows and said, "Then jump."
Ji Yunhe continued to kiss Chang Yi's silver hair, her gaze lifting slightly, three parts tenderness and seven parts sharpness, like an arrow or a hook, as if she intended to extract Chang Yi's heart from his eyes.
There was no appointment made, no location set, yet Chang Yi agreed. However, Ji Yunhe knew that this promise would certainly be kept.
The dawn dispels the darkness around.
She has returned
Ji Yunhe thought to herself, she really is a weeping spirit
Qing Shu glanced at her and said, "It has been closed up again"
Just as she and Chang Yi must go out, so must this attached demon. She was born from the obsession of the Qingyu Luan bird, and thus must resolve that obsession in order to attain liberation. Therefore, no matter who comes, she will acknowledge them.
Ji Yunhe wanted to sit up, but as soon as she exerted herself, a sharp pain shot through her forehead, spreading throughout her body. Every muscle and bone in Ji Yunhe trembled in pain.
Controlling her is that effortless
Thinking of this, Ji Yunhe closed her eyes
The pain瞬间夺去了她浑身力气, leaving her unable to support her body any longer. The longsword in her hand fell to the ground as she suddenly collapsed to the side
Ji Yunhe felt it was utterly absurd in her heart
Ji Yunhe's expression immediately became serious; she glanced around, and a wave of immense despair surged in her heart, causing all color to drain from her face in an instant
After the Qingyu Luan bird left, the Beast Tamer in the Valley of Beasts discovered that the cage of the merfolk had collapsed and would undoubtedly search everywhere for the merfolk. This was a task assigned by Princess Shunde, and if the merfolk were lost, no one in the Valley of Beasts would have a good outcome.
For a moment, Ji Yunhe felt as if the lips kissing his hair were cut by poisonous weeds, leaving her feeling somewhat numb with embarrassment
Ji Yunhe sorted out these matters, arranged her expression to be serious, and with a hint of gravity, went to search for the demon attached to the pool.
I..." she smiled with a crooked mouth, "I plan to go and 'reveal my identity' to her, and then recite poetry and songs to express my feelings. If I haven't faltered by that time, I will just go with the flow and gently embrace her to soothe her. " Ji Yunhe tossed her hair, raised an eyebrow, and looked back handsomely, "In short, it means to say that I love her."
"Chang Yi, once we leave the Demon Taming Valley, I will send you back to the sea," Ji Yunhe said. "When you return home, I will travel the world. When I am nearing the end of my days, I will move to the seaside. If fate allows us to meet again, please sing me a song like you did today."
But at that moment, she suddenly felt her hand being pulled forcefully, and immediately after, she was embraced by a warmth that was more temperate than ice water
Chang Yi sat in place, the enormous lotus tail end resting in the stream, splashing twice with a plop.
If it can be proposed at this moment, it must be some extraordinary spell or magical artifact
Ji Yunhe's heart suddenly sank; she was not worried about Chang Yi's inability to contend with Qing Shu, she only thought... Qing Shu actually came, what about Lin Canglan...
Ji Yunhe gazed at her dance, momentarily entranced, until the figure of the demoness spun around, and upon turning her head, she suddenly caught sight of Ji Yunhe standing nearby, causing her to abruptly halt her steps
"The soul-binding needle remains unresolved; any reckless movement will lead to consequences you are aware of," Qing Shu said indifferently
No matter how she calculated, she never anticipated that emerging from that array would lead her to this backyard
Come here" Ji Yunhe extended her hand
The demon's body stiffened, as if it could not maintain its footing, taking a slight step back, once again rippling the surface of the water, just as it had disturbed the clarity of its own gaze
Ji Yunhe drew her sword, and in the blink of an eye, the giant tail of the merman suddenly moved. The tail swept across the pond, causing droplets of water to splash out. With a single swipe of Chang Yi's tail, the water droplets instantly transformed into sharp icicles, striking towards the surrounding demon tamers
After that, what other methods could they think of to leave
Before Ji Yunhe could finish speaking, Chang Yi furrowed his brows
They finally fell into the sinking pool of water
Upon hearing this, Chang Yi shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Your words lack sincerity, making it very difficult to succeed"
Ji Yunhe tightly closed her mouth and nose, holding her breath, and followed the downward force of the pool water as she sank down
She tightened her grip on the sword, and at that moment, a flash of white light suddenly surged from behind the crowd. Ji Yunhe could only see the approaching figure, her eyes widening slightly.
Thus, a person arrived in the Ten Directions Array, claiming to be Ning Ruochu. Regardless of whether this person is male or female, divine or ghostly, as long as they spoke, she would undoubtedly believe them
As Chang Yi mentioned before, it is indeed very deep below
Otherwise, with the trust and love that the phoenix has for him, why would he deceive her into being sealed? Would it not be easier to simply kill her? How could he possibly make a promise to "accompany her"
She has always been reluctant to do this. Yet, the hand of fate seems to never let her go.
Warming tonic pills
Among all the monsters, the merfolk possess the most beautiful singing voices, while the bird-like demons are the most skilled in dance
The promises she made must be fulfilled
Falling into darkness, the golden light of the sky grows increasingly distant
Ji Yunhe was unable to infer the temperament of this person from the stories she had read, but she could discern from the words of the attached demon that this Impermanence Sage, Ning Ruochu, was certainly not a cold-hearted individual. Ji Yunhe even believed that the Impermanence Sage had feelings for the Qingyu Luan bird as well
Ji Yunhe smiled faintly, welcoming the end of darkness
It was as if a punch had struck cotton; Ji Yunhe met his unperturbed gaze for a moment and suddenly felt defeated. A wave of emotion named "I am sorry, I have been abrupt, offensive, and intrusive" surged in her heart
You see, when the pond was overflowing earlier, water was flowing from the pond into the stream. Now that the pond water has receded, all the stream water is instead flowing into the pond. In this array of ten directions, there is nothing; logically, there should not be any water. According to the theory of the five elements, water represents life, and now that the water is rapidly retreating, in my understanding, the path to life is gradually being severed. This array of ten directions is about to turn into a dead array. To escape, we can only jump in.
Having met a gentleman, this sincere heart cannot be retained naturally
At this moment, there was another person in Ji Yunhe's room. The妖狐Qing Shu sat quietly by her bedside, using silver needles to pierce all of her fingertips. As the silver needles touched, Ji Yunhe's seemingly lifeless fingers began to move again.
This place is familiar to Ji Yunhe like no other
In this water lies his kingdom
The demon quietly gazed at her, its crimson eyes filled entirely with her.
The merman suddenly took action, catching the demon tamers off guard. Everyone had already been injured in the previous battle with the phoenix and was now powerless to resist.
Chang Yi actually does not understand why Ji Yunhe would say such things at this moment... Clearly, after going out, the sky is vast and the sea is wide, yet she seems to... always feel as if she is facing death
After Ji Yunhe finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at the merman, who still wore a calm expression. Ji Yunhe pouted slightly, feeling as if she had run into a brick wall.
The woman in this painting searches and wanders, waiting endlessly, yet she can never await the one who made a promise.
Ji Yunhe retracted her fingertips, slowly clenching her fingers into a fist
This attached demon believes itself to be Ning Ruochu, because she... Or rather, it is the Qingyu Luan bird itself that has always believed from the bottom of its heart that, no matter how long it takes or when it is, Ning Ruochu will definitely come, and she will surely be able to wait for him
But I know that you will definitely come
But Chang Yi said little; he simply asked: "What shall we sing?"
Some people are also murmuring: "We found a tremendous upheaval in the valley, it turns out she took the mermaid away, what does the guardian want to do?"
Ji Yunhe threw a cloth, and although Chang Yi felt quite confused, he still earnestly threw a punch
Ji Yunhe regained her breath, lifted her head, and looked at Chang Yi. Just as she was about to show a smile, that smile froze on her face.
The black mist danced gracefully, resembling a black phoenix, waving its feathers and stepping with enchanting movements, elegantly ascending towards the horizon
Ji Yunhe was taken aback, and before she could think about the situation, the only thing she could come up with was that the formation eye was here, and they needed to exit from this place. However, the formation eye had now undergone a change. Although she did not know what the change was, if they did not leave now, they might not be able to get out later
Just emerging from the water, Ji Yunhe felt somewhat weak all over, lying on the ground and gasping for breath. Beside her was Chang Yi, who was also breathing somewhat rapidly.
Ji Yunhe was by the creek, trying various methods to style her hair, attempting to create a crown that was different from the one she had before
Without any doubt and without excessive probing, the spirit attached itself to her in this manner.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunhe could only manage a cold smile
In the darkness, the scales emitted twinkling lights, and the water waves scattered these points of light, making Ji Yunhe feel as if they were traversing through the distant and unattainable galaxy
Chang Yi sat silently by the stream, and after a long while, the color of those eyes had still not faded.
She walked up to Chang Yi and patted him on the shoulder
Ji Yunhe casually asked, but Chang Yi answered earnestly: "The song of the merfolk praises freedom"
Given the current situation, the Qingyu Luan bird should have already departed, and it has likely been some time since its departure. Meanwhile, Xue San Yue is temporarily unaccounted for, and it is impossible to inquire about her whereabouts.
Lin Canglan had long known the thoughts she concealed, which is why she always kept such things in the house, waiting for the day when she could humiliate and trample upon her
Long meaning: `` ... ... ''
Apart from this, Ji Yunhe could not think of any other reasons
The surrounding black mist of the demon surged, finally bringing an end to a century of hatred and resentment, of guarding and longing, of fragile waiting and boundless loneliness
Qing Shu put away the needle pouch and gently replied, "Come in."
Chang Yi sat by the stream watching her, somewhat puzzled: "If the phoenix so cherished the man of yesteryear, how could it mistake another for him?"
In the Beast Tamer community, someone recognized Ji Yunhe. Immediately, another person exclaimed: "How could she be with the merfolk?"
Ji Yunhe found it difficult to speculate on the reasons behind this
This time, you openly wanted to confront the Beast Master in the valley, but your master restrained you. "Your master has preserved your position as a protector; you should go and express your gratitude for this great favor."
What are we discussing
You pulled the silver needle from your hand, looking at Ji Yunhe's dazed face, with a hint of disdain in your eyes: "I have taken it out for you, and it is placed on your desk."
The master of the valley, the demon servant Qing Shu, seems to have been injured during her previous battle with the Qingyu Luan bird, as there are still traces of blood on her forehead; however, this injury does not diminish her intense aura of killing intent
Ji Yunhe turned over, facing away from Qing Shu and the Beast Tamer. Without even opening her eyes, she said: "I am unwell and unable to comply with your orders."
She glanced around with her eyes, caught a glimpse of the merman's back, and casually changed the subject: "Well, you seem to be recovering quite quickly. The merman's body is indeed remarkable. Just wait for me here; if I succeed, we can leave. Alright, just wait for me."
She dares to do such a thing, so she is prepared to bear the worst consequences, whether it is life or death, whether it is torment or suffering, she accepts it all
She rubbed her nose and awkwardly turned around
The demon tamer outside pushed the door open and entered. Qing Shu walked over, and the demon tamer whispered a few words in her ear. Qing Shu's eyes suddenly brightened, and she turned to look at Ji Yunhe, who was lying on the bed.
The exquisite dance accompanied by the beautiful song has not been rehearsed, yet it is the most perfect performance of song and dance that Ji Yunhe has ever witnessed
Still not counted yet
Ji Yunhe gazed at the boundless golden sky, lost in thought for a long time, until the sudden low rumble of water reached her ears, jolting her back to reality
Chang Yi merely defaulted this time, without responding.
Continuing onward, she will surely obtain the Ten Directions Array. At that time, with the antidote in her possession, she will leave the Demon Taming Valley, and from then on, the world will be vast and boundless, no longer constrained.
Your Excellency, Qing Shu
Upon hearing these words, Ji Yunhe's smile faded slightly. She gazed into the endless darkness before her and said, "It is time to sing, Changyi. We are about to gain our freedom."
He watched as Ji Yunhe gradually walked away, silently lowering his head. He picked up the strand of hair that Ji Yunhe had kissed moments ago, holding it quietly for a moment. When he turned his head, he looked at his reflection in the stream.
Silver hair flying, the strands seem to still retain the warmth from her lips
The Impermanent Sage has been a figure of the past century. Although there are numerous records of the Impermanent Sage's deeds in books, those records only speak of his merits and strength, never documenting his joys, anger, sorrows, or happiness
Ji Yunhe struggled and opened her mouth: "Where is the merman?" After uttering these three words, she exhausted all the strength in her body
The spirit was still above the pool of water, but unlike before, she was not crouching; instead, she was standing and dancing gracefully on the surface of the water.
She does not believe that person; she only believes in Ning Ruochu
In this moment, all five senses are fully restored
Without him saying a word, Ji Yunhe already knew what this righteous and innocent big-tailed fish was thinking. "Hey, big-tailed fish," Ji Yunhe tried to persuade him, "You must understand, she is just a pile of emotions abandoned here by the Qingyu Luan bird, without any physical form, and cannot be considered a life. We deceived her out of necessity; you don't want to be trapped here forever, do you?"
There is no need to question that the "she" referred to by the mermaid is indeed Ji Yunhe
Ji Yunhe suddenly thought of another possibility, that this attached demon had so easily believed in her potential
However, now, she, the guardian of the Demon Taming Valley, has emerged from the pond behind the Fierce Wind Hall together with the merman
It was unexpectedly the long intention that had not been expressed just now... that took action first
In fact, when Ji Yunhe fell into the water, she sensed that there was indeed life within it. The deeper she went, the more she could feel the breath of the outside world. Chang Yi could use magic to help her breathe, and she could also sense the hidden veins that had been silent within her all along.
He felt that compared to him, this demon tamer who jumped into the unknown darkness with a smile was more like what they humans referred to as—
Chang Yi held her with one hand while gently caressing her face with the other hand
Ji Yunhe suddenly felt a decrease in the pressure around her, and the pressure that the water had brought to her ears also vanished. Startled, Ji Yunhe slightly opened her mouth, only to find that no water had entered it. "Chang Yi," she called out his name.
First, immediately injure Chang Yi, capture him, and demonstrate to the crowd that he is merely trying to capture the merfolk, but accidentally fell into the remnants of the Shifang Array, enduring countless hardships, and finally managed to bring this merfolk out.
Ji Yunhe took a deep breath, stood up, and the cold water droplets on her body dripped onto the gravel-covered path beneath her feet
Suddenly, a massive lotus tail swayed, lifting the stream water, and with a "splash," it shattered the tranquility surrounding him
The song ceases, the dance steps fade, and in the air remains only the distant call of a mythical bird, echoing for a moment before ultimately returning to formlessness
It is said that when the phoenix dances in the nine heavens, a hundred birds come to pay their respects. Although the luan bird is not a phoenix, its dance is still the most exquisite in the world
Ji Yunhe was somewhat angry upon seeing this: "You can swim by yourself! Then why did you make me carry you back and forth before!"
The spirit said this.
With a swift motion of her hand, her internal spiritual energy stirred, and the blade from the sheath of the nearest beast tamer instantly flew into Ji Yunhe's grasp
Not for any other reason, but because at the very moment they broke the water's surface, a circle of demon tamers had already surrounded them
"Do you not remember me?" Ji Yunhe said, "I am Ning Ruochu."
Chang Yi was momentarily taken aback
She does not want to become Ning Ruochu, making others wait for a hundred years
The blue eyes, like the vast ocean, embraced all of Ji Yunhe's tenderness and provocation.
Chang Yi raised his gaze once more, quietly staring at Ji Yunhe. It seemed he had not anticipated seeing such intense emotions in Ji Yunhe's eyes, and he fell silent for a moment
"Praise freedom," said Ji Yunhe, "Perhaps true freedom can only be seen on that day"
She held Ji Yunhe in her arms, her voice tinged with a sob, yet it could not conceal the joy that filled her heart.
Forget it. There is no time to fuss over it. Ji Yunhe walked to Chang Yi's side. The two stood at the place where the stream flowed into the pool, and Ji Yunhe pointed at the pool and said, "Let us discuss this."
The warmth of a human's palm surpasses that of his body. It seems to radiate from the palm, extending all the way to his heart, and even warming every scale on the tail of a fish.
Chang Yi embraced her
At that time, the unconscious her may have also become a burden for Chang Yi when he left
She has always been reluctant to do this. Yet, the hand of fate seems to never let her go.
In this ten-direction array, the Qingyu Luan bird awaits within, enduring a hundred years of solitude. Perhaps it has given rise to hatred, perhaps to resentment; perhaps these feelings of hatred and resentment are intensely terrifying. Yet, all these emotions can ultimately be resolved with just a single sentence
The residence of the master of the Demon Taming Valley is located in the backyard of the Lìfēng Hall. Although this backyard is now in a state of utter ruin, with the pavilion collapsed and bricks scattered everywhere, Jì Yúnhé, having lived in the Demon Taming Valley for many years, would never mistake it. She turned back to take a look and saw that the surface of the water from which Cháng Yì had just leaped was actually the pond behind the Lìfēng Hall.
The appearance of the superior also spoke to her, saying, "Look at you, pitiful little ant, daring to attempt to stop a chariot with your feeble arms"
Ji Yunhe did not know how long she had been moving in the darkness. It felt as if it had been ten thousand years, yet it also seemed like just the time it takes for a gust of wind to pass. When she next felt the existence of her limbs, it was as if someone had pricked her fingertip with a needle.
However, now she has spoken with this merman, heard him sing, and been saved by him
This pond ... unexpectedly serves as the focal point of the Ten Directions Formation
At any rate ... ... life and death are at stake ... ...
Well, this is my first time using it
Ji Yunhe looked at Chang Yi seriously and asked, "Can you play rock-paper-scissors?"
monster
As I turned my head, the once overflowing pool beside me, after the disappearance of the attached demon, seemed as if it had been drained from the bottom, sinking with a thunderous roar.
What do you intend to do?" Ji Yunhe looked directly at Qing Shu without evasion
Take note of it with great seriousness and earnestness
Indeed, this Valley of Demon Tamers confines the prisoners' freedom, leaving them without even the right to choose death
"Let the Qingyu Luan bird leave this place; it is a chance for us to fight for our lives. Whether you and I can seize this opportunity to regain our freedom hinges on this moment." Ji Yunhe touched the box of antidote she had kept close, her fingertips involuntarily tightening. She looked intently at Chang Yi, "Therefore, I must deceive that attached demon, and I must also resolve her emotional entanglement to make her disappear. No matter what method I have to use, I must give it a try."
In this brief period, how many firsts have I taken from you? Have you kept count?
The cool stream rushed in, drenching his body and hair thoroughly
But this is just my guess. This guess is very likely to be wrong. If we jump down, we may end up being trapped. I don't know what's down there or what will happen.
Once again, it is this issue; this troublesome spirit indeed seems to lack clarity of thought, completely unable to recall events
The medicine you stole from the master's study, I have taken it out
Chang Yi stared blankly at Ji Yunhe's smiling eyes, allowing her to pull him as they plunged into the abyss
Upon hearing this, Qing Shu let out a cold and sarcastic laugh, "Some warm-tonifying pills for preventing and treating typhoid fever? Take them if you want. The lord of the manor is generous and will not punish you for it."
Ji Yunhe tightly grasped Chang Yi's hand. In the darkness, the sound of the sinking pool water grew louder and louder. Suddenly, the icy pool water engulfed Ji Yunhe completely.
They are like this, a single needle can bind her soul, rendering her unable to move, and with just a stretch of their hand, they can also remove this needle. They constantly remind Ji Yunhe that she is merely a puppet in their hands, to be brought to life or to perish at their will
The apparition danced above the pond, as if treading upon a bright mirror. Withered lotus plants stood nearby, and she twirled around them, her form opening and closing, sometimes slow, sometimes swift. A black mist, wrapping around her like gauze, surrounded her. In Ji Yunhe's eyes, it seemed as if the painting she had seen before had come to life.
At this moment, Ji Yunhe was lying in bed, feeling as uncomfortable as if she were lying on a bed of nails
The attached demon slowly approached Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe could not think of what the true Ning Ruochu would say at this moment, so she simply remained silent, staring directly into the eyes of the attached demon, and also stepped closer to the edge of the pond.
Having left that enclosed place, although still in darkness, Ji Yunhe felt much more at ease, and she began to entertain a few playful thoughts. However, after Ji Yunhe asked this question, Chang Yi surprisingly fell into a long silence.
Qing Shu was completely unconcerned by her expression, casually pulling the needle from her forehead. Ji Yunhe immediately felt a sense of lightness in her body, regaining control once again
Ji Yunhe even felt that even if she did not bind her chest, did not tie up her hair, and did not deliberately lower her voice to find her, Fu Yao would still believe that she was Ning Ruochu
These two characters seem to be the mechanism that triggers everything
Ji Yunhe opened her eyes
Alright. I will come to find you then
Well
The water pool with fine ripples calmed down as it was stepped on.
Returning to this room, which she knows all too well, this is her residence in the Demon Taming Valley, her courtyard, her prison
Ji Yunhe's heart suddenly tightened.
Qing Shu said: "The mermaid spoke."
A soft call came from outside the door.
Ji Yunhe stared into Changyi's eyes and continued to explain: "I'll count to three, and you pick any gesture from earlier. One, two, three!"
Longyi's face was calm, with no emotional fluctuations.
But it didn't let Ji Yunhe run far. At the other end of the stream, a big-tailed fish swam over like an arrow.
The Hidden Soul Needle is a technique of Lin Canglan. With one needle, it can immobilize a person's soul and make them lose all five senses, as if they were a lifeless corpse.
Ji Yunhe remained still, but his thoughts were changing rapidly.
Secondly, fight your way out.
Chang Yi also extended his hand.
He remained silent for a moment, and then asked seriously, "What is that?"
Qing Shu used a silver needle to prick the acupoints on Ji Yunhe's body, while saying, "The Valley Lord doesn't want you to die yet."
They panicked and ran in all directions. Ji Yunhe thought to himself, "If they want to fight their way out now, there might actually be a 70% chance of success!"
Being serious and rigorous is necessary.
Longing to be stunned again, the originally cold and clear mermaid, when encountering such terrible abuse, did not show any weakness as the "soul of the sea", at this moment, her face was full of a question mark—.
Perhaps in the eyes of writers, sages do not need emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
I have finally waited for you
Ji Yunhe suddenly had the illusion that she was coaxing a child
The water, stirred by the tail, shattered and then re-coalesced. The waves collided with one another, and finally, tranquility was restored once more. The mirror-like surface of the water clearly reflected the color of his pupils, the deep blue hue faded, and the color of his long, intent pupils finally returned to its usual coolness
The sound of the sinking water in the pond continued to rumble, while Chang Yi quietly looked at Ji Yunhe: "So?"
Apologies. As she was gazed at so affectionately by a tearful girl, Ji Yunhe could not help but utter these two words
The beautiful ice-blue eyes were cast down
Ji Yunhe, the master has summoned you to immediately go to the Lìfēng Hall
To break this deadlock, there are only two ways.
Ji Yunhe opened her palm and enveloped Chang Yi's fist: "I have produced the cloth, and the cloth can cover your stone, therefore I have won"
Just like confirming Ji Yunhe's thoughts, a faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness below, illuminating the pupils of Ji Yunhe and Chang Yi, as well as the scales all over Chang Yi's body.
The Qingyu Luan bird is a world-renowned great demon, and it is impossible for her to be prone to tears; therefore, this emotion that has been stripped away must be the rare vulnerability within her heart
Ji Yunhe ran away, but instead of jumping into the pool, he ran towards where Chang Yi was.
"You said you would come to accompany me." The demon's eyes slowly became moist, "I have waited for you for a long time."
It was only when they were so close that Ji Yunhe realized that emotions, this intangible and elusive thing, could really emanate from one's eyes.
Ji Yunhe cleared his throat, took a step back, his lips parted from his hair, and his hand released the silver thread. Ji Yunhe clapped his hands, pursed his lips, and stood up with an indifferent expression in his eyes.
She thought that once she emerged from the Ten Directions Array, she would be free, but little did she expect that it was within the Ten Directions Array that her brief freedom truly existed
Although this room appears somewhat disordered due to the previous chaos, the invisible bars of this cage remain remarkably sturdy
Ji Yunhe opened his eyes, his body still weak and unable to move, but his eyes had already scanned the surrounding environment.
When Ji Yunhe was completely engulfed by darkness, she was not without fear in her heart. However, rather than sitting still and waiting for a result, she hoped to do something, even though this struggle and choice might be wrong
The two approached, and the spirit could not leave the water pool; Ji Yunhe also did not step inside.
I didn't expect your merfolk to have such convenient spells. Ji Yunhe said, "But this spell shouldn't be of much use to you, right?"
Is it so casual?
And at the moment when the black qi ascended, in the distance, a few seemingly casual chants could be heard, the singing voice hoarse, accompanied by the dance steps of the black qi, neither slow nor fast, coming melodiously and dispersing loosely.
Even though the merman recovers quickly, he is ultimately still injured and unable to withstand that old fox... However, it is understandable; although she has not known Chang Yi for long, given his character, if he considers someone a friend, he would not abandon them and flee.
