The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 106

Chapter 1: The Path

“Not doing… business?”

It was obvious that not only Li Xun, but even the other two assassins from the Luoyu Sect were stunned by the sudden appearance and the sudden words of this person. There was an awkward silence in the forest.

Who is this guy?

Li Xun’s mind instantly went through all the possible characters, and the conclusion he came to shocked him: “Su Huaiyu?”

Of course, he just called out in his mind.

Although it has not been confirmed, judging from the rumors in the Tongxuan Realm, who else could have such a mysterious and uncertain character besides Su Huaiyu, known as the “Heartbreaking Man”?

“I would rather break my back a thousand times than see him face to face.” This somewhat sarcastic saying is the most appropriate description of the Luoyu Sect leader by the cultivators in this world.

And at this moment, Li Xun unfortunately jumped out and met him face to face…

Things have really been going wrong recently.

Li Xun had barely finished his inward rant when the cultivator in front of him, who looked like Su Huaiyu, sighed softly and said, “It’s been nearly two hundred years since we parted at Yanshan. How come I spared this youngster today, and you won’t even come out to thank me?”

…

How could that be! Only then did Li Xun realize that from the very beginning, this Su master had completely ignored this living being.

He had only ever been talking to Water Butterfly Orchid.

How long had it been? For at least thirty or forty years, Li Xun had never been so ignored. And worse, he couldn’t even tell if this person’s attitude was deliberate or not.

Li Xun’s heart suddenly swelled.

After practicing the Blood Godson’s secret transformation technique, the only internal organ that remained somewhat normal was his heart, the center of his qi and blood.

However, it now seemed to have become unusually sensitive, triggering a reaction to even the slightest emotional shift.

Yet, even at this moment when his internal organs were on fire, a chill remained within Li Xun’s mind.

It was this chill that allowed him to steady himself, allowing him to watch coldly from the sidelines as the Grand Master Su delivered a passionate speech to the pitch-black forest.

Unfortunately, Shui Dielan refused to give him face and remained silent. After waiting for a considerable time, Su Huaiyu’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of bitterness.

Regardless of the sincerity of this expression, what caught Li Xun’s attention even more was that his eyes seemed unfocused and melancholy. Yet, Li Xun could sense that they were staring over his shoulder, intent on Shui Dielan’s current hiding place.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the so-called “Four Directions Seal of Death” showed no sign of dissipating its murderous intent.

Li Xun’s mind raced, rapidly searching for a solution.

At this moment, a faint sound came into his ears. He was startled and looked up unconsciously as the voice prompted. He saw Su Huaiyu opening his mouth slightly and about to speak.

“Hey, are you here to see me?”

The sudden question shattered the somewhat gloomy atmosphere in the forest.

Su Huaiyu was scheming and his face did not change, but the other two killers in the forest looked at him unconsciously.

It was at this moment that they realized that these words were actually said to them.

Li Xun looked lazy at the moment, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the air and looked straight behind Su Huaiyu.

This sentence perfectly followed up on the sentence when Li Xun appeared, completely ignoring the dozens of breaths after Su Huaiyu appeared.

In terms of contemptuous attitude, Li Xun at this time was definitely not inferior to Su Huaiyu.

This was almost like putting the two poor guys on the fire.

However, these two had practiced for hundreds of years and instinctively made the most reasonable reaction.

They averted their gazes, their faces impassive, similarly ignoring Li Xun’s question. However, their expressions, their noses watching their mouths, their mouths watching their hearts, gave off a certain awkwardness.

Li Xun didn’t expect any response. He simply sneered and walked forward, leisurely, towards Su Huaiyu.

Su Huaiyu’s gaze remained unfocused, but the two assassins couldn’t take him lightly. Though they made no large movements, the slightest tremors of their bodies betrayed a subtle, almost imperceptible killing intent.

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the sky, and the induction from the Four Directions Seal of Death was instantly interrupted.

This brief moment of silence made the hairs on Li Xun’s back stand on end, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on his skin.

If the opponent attacked in this gap, Li Xun would have no way of tracking the fatal blow.

The best outcome would be a hard fight, only to be left on the defensive—until someone took his life.

The Luoyu Sect is truly not to be underestimated!

If Li Xun were to encounter such a situation alone, and fail to detect it beforehand, or summon his two puppets in time, his life would be in jeopardy!

With this sigh, Li Xun brushed past Su Huaiyu with a cold expression.

Each could sense the other’s unique aura, the only difference being that, a moment later, Li Xun’s muscles tensed, while Su Huaiyu’s brow furrowed.

At this moment, Su Huaiyu’s eyes finally rested on Li Xun for the first time.

Unfortunately, Li Xun only gave him a shrug as he walked away, leaving behind a single sentence: “You’re disturbing my sleep!”

The forest swarmed in silence for a moment, but the next moment, they heard the crackling of dead branches.

This sound, perfectly normal in autumn and winter, now sounded like thunder—no exaggeration at all!

The initially dry sound, without warning, transformed into a thunderous boom, shaking the entire forest.

The few remaining leaves on the treetops rustled and fluttered to the ground after the loud noise.

The many birds and animals that were soundly sleeping among the branches and bushes felt as if they had been in great distress. They all rushed out, and for a moment, the noise was endless, and the entire forest was in chaos.

In the chaos, Su Huaiyu slowly turned around with an “unsociable” rhythm, his eyes darting around, looking for something. Without a word, his two subordinates disappeared together.

Before disappearing, a strand of ice bounced up, and the Soul-Searching Ice Fly flew into the air.

Su Huaiyu’s eyes fixed, and his body suddenly tensed up with a visible degree. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: “Put it away…”

He had just uttered half of the word “come” when a breeze suddenly brushed past him. This sudden change made him swallow the second half of the word, and his figure seemed to melt into the air and disappeared in an instant.

The Soushen Ice Fly is a naturally supernatural creature, extremely sensitive to external dangers, and even faster than Su Huaiyu’s cry.

The creature ricocheted through the air a second time, abruptly changing direction and diving toward the ground, narrowly avoiding a gust of cold air.

The cold air was as sharp as a knife.

At that moment, the killer who had released the Ice Fly realized his grave mistake. He suddenly appeared from nowhere, whistling, and charged in the direction of the Ice Fly, clearly intent on capturing this precious spiritual object.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that the forest was not a safe place at the moment!

As expected, as he moved, a figure swooped in from the side, locking onto him with murderous intent.

Even the God-Searching Ice Fly couldn’t escape the sharp edge.

In this life-or-death moment, the killer’s face flushed deeply, his eyes gleaming with near-madness. A low “huh” rasped from his throat, but he showed no sign of retreating or dodging, instead charging forward at an even faster speed.

This pounce officially activated the Four Directions Seal of Death!

In the sky, the densely woven network of energy finally found a tangible target.

As the murderous intent locked onto the “Dying One,” the “Four-Direction Seal of Death” followed closely, like a flexible lasso, and in a few shifts, it firmly grasped the figure hidden in the forest.

Wave after wave of bone-chilling murderous energy gathered and surrounded them from all sides, constantly increasing in intensity, threatening to burst at any moment.

However, just as it was about to end, another figure ascended into the air like a wisp of smoke, a shadowy object in the gloomy night.

As the figure vanished, it was swept into the nearly formed vortex of vital energy. Wherever it passed, the air hissed and cracked, and the surging waves of energy in the sky could not stop it in the slightest.

Following closely behind was Su Huaiyu.

Clad in a white robe, his figure soared, like a stream of light, extremely conspicuous, but surprisingly, his speed was still a level lower than the previous figure.

Seeing the surging of vital energy in the sky gradually becoming chaotic, Su Huaiyu finally couldn’t maintain his usual dreamy expression, but revealed genuine anxiety and urgency – “Show mercy… withdraw!”

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized the crux of the matter and quickly changed his words, which was exactly where he got stuck.

After a shout, the night sky was like a raging tide coming from the west, rumbling and roaring. Four figures appeared from the void, and were shocked by the huge amount of vital energy that suddenly swelled and collapsed, and were thrown out in all directions.

Shui Dielan finally appeared.

She stood in the void with her hands behind her back, her light blue lips slightly pursed into an arc, and her eyes were cold and icy.

But Shui Dielan’s eyes never stayed on Su Huaiyu for a moment, but looked down at the forest without saying a word.

Su Huaiyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, stopped a few feet away from her side, and also looked down like her.

The overwhelming pressure caused the forest below to groan under the weight of the weight. Hundreds of trees, at least, were crushed and toppled by the surging energy. Faced with this apocalyptic spectacle, the birds and animals in the forest lost even the courage to flee.

For a moment, the forest was filled with a foul stench.

“Hey, just kidding, no need to get so worked up! Uh, I’ll keep this little thing for a while, okay?”

Before the desperate “bait” killer’s eyes, Li Xun easily grasped the Soul-Searching Ice Fly. With a slight push, the restless creature froze.

The “bait,” having just spun between life and death and then slid awkwardly along the ground for a long distance, had returned empty-handed. His mind was already unbalanced. Seeing Li Xun’s smile, he couldn’t contain himself. With a sharp roar, he launched himself into the air, lunging towards him.

“Qing Si!”

Su Huaiyu’s low voice echoed, but the “bait”‘s charge could no longer be retracted.

Li Xun once again faced the Seal of Death, only this time, truly!

As the opponent fully emerged into Li Xun’s field of vision, the pressure that once shattered his internal organs was reduced to a breath of fresh air.

“As expected, attacking from behind is more suitable for you!”

With a sneer, Li Xun’s figure suddenly twisted. In that brief moment, his limbs expanded and contracted in the void with a degree of contortion that no human could achieve.

In a trance, his body had become a non-solid black mist, seemingly carried away by the wind, yet able to slip through tiny cracks without hindrance.

The “bait” was almost stunned by this strange agility, and the sharpness generated by his rage and restlessness was immediately reduced to a large extent.

At this moment, his mind reacted inappropriately to Su Huaiyu’s shout. While he was hesitating, a figure suddenly rushed into his arms.

The violent impact penetrated his chest, and the sudden surge of high pressure in his body squeezed the blood, and it seemed that his throat was about to burst out. However, there was a sudden high fever, which burned his whole body in an instant. The rapidly rising temperature wiped out all the blood in the most domineering way.

A mouthful of blood came to his mouth and turned into a low gurgling sound.

The “bait” opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, but nothing jumped out of his throat. However, his body flew backwards uncontrollably until he hit a big tree with great force, and then fell to the ground.

There was a period of silence in the forest.

Li Xun did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but just spread his hands, pretending to be “innocent”, and calmly accepted Su Huaiyu’s cold eyes from above.

Another assassin lurking in the forest also emerged, running over to the “bait” to take his pulse.

The “bait” bore no external injuries, nor any substantial damage to his internal organs, but his complexion was utterly deplorable, even his skin dull.

Li Xun’s Blood-Burning Qi technique, while not damaging the flesh but the essence, had shattered at least a century of the opponent’s cultivation in a single blow. It was a truly insidious move, and a welcome reprieve from the wounds he’d sustained that day.

Ignoring the resentful glances, Li Xun glanced at the devastated forest, frowned, and soared into the air. While Su Huaiyu had maintained his distance, he stood proudly alongside Shui Dielan.

“Can you even stay here?”

Li Xun was referring to the fishy stench created by the frightened birds and beasts.

Fortunately, he still remembered that Shui Dielan was particularly sensitive to smells. Although there was a bit of pretense in it, Shui Dielan still enjoyed it very much and gave him a faint smile in return.

“I can’t stand it anymore, but… Baimao rarely shows such sincerity, why not listen to it!”

“Baimao?”

Li Xun could no longer maintain the attitude of “ignoring” and began to look at Su Huaiyu with extremely strange eyes; at the same time, Su Huaiyu was also looking at him with interest.

It can be seen that the leader of the sect nicknamed “Baimao” is quite interested in the relationship between Li Xun and Shui Dielan.

Shui Dielan took in all the expressions of the two people, but did not care at all. She just said: “Remember this when dealing with Luoyu Sect in the future. They love to kill themselves for the sake of truth. Why did you show mercy just now? Kill them if you want. Business will continue as usual. A few deaths are nothing.”

Li Xun curled his lips and lazily said, “Teaching you!”

Su Huaiyu seemed genuinely unimpressed, but Li Xun could sense the glare he gave her. His eyes were as sharp as needles and thorns, but they quickly faded into a rich and varied expression, leaving no trace.

Su Huaiyu finally clapped his hands and smiled, “Senior Sister Shui may have spent too long in the Zhu Gou Sect and acquired some vulgarity, forgetting that since our sect seeks the truth through killing, how can we talk about business or trading?”

Without blinking, he flatly rejected the word “business” he had mentioned earlier, his expression gradually becoming more solemn, forcing one to take his attitude seriously.

“Besides, this is a different time. Hey, apart from the giants like the Northern Alliance and the Western Alliance, or people like Mingxin and Xingji who have nothing better to do than to fight with each other and compete with swords, who else has the ability to act like a big shot?”

“Mingxin and Xingji?”

Li Xun’s heart skipped a beat, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask, so he finally endured it.

However, he could hold back, but Shui Dielan, who was in tune with him, had no scruples, so he asked naturally: “Oh, are the two great sword sects quarreling?”

“It’s rare that you have the leisure time, Senior Sister Shui!”

Su Huaiyu did not think much about it, and just thought that Shui Dielan was curious, or expressed a “stable” attitude, and replied with a smile, then he said slowly: “Speaking of which, this is the bonus I got when I bought your whereabouts from Yanxing Sect.

“It is said that there are quite a lot of twists and turns in it, as if someone killed whose brother, and who killed whose apprentice and so on.

“Anyway, now old man Tianyuan has trapped the ruthless Mingji in the “Galaxy”, and declared that he would imprison her for a thousand years. Hey, the Mingxin Sword Sect is not as good as before. If Zhong Yin was still there, would old man Tianyuan have ten times the courage to try it? “

Oh, is that so…” Shui Dielan glanced at Li Xun seemingly unintentionally, and quickly acted uninterested: “Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us. But you, Baimao, have come here from thousands of miles away, you can’t just say hello, right?”

“Sure enough, Senior Sister Shui knows my character best.”

Su Huaiyu smiled slightly, and said frankly: “I have always lacked courage, and I don’t have the slightest idea of killing myself for the sake of the truth. The reason why I can sit in this position is just a means of “no gain, no early rise”.

“Back when Senior Sister Shui rebelled against the sect, I vehemently disagreed with those fools’ ideas. Unfortunately, having just ascended the throne, I had to compromise. And because of that, I lost Thirteen Blood Feathers!”

Shui Dielan frowned slightly. “I didn’t know you had this habit of nagging.”

“Not really. Actually, I just wanted to tell you something. A few days ago, Elder Hong was careless in his training and became possessed. He’s already lost all connection with the Tao. This matter…”

Li Xun was bewildered and confused, but Shui Dielan understood everything. She let out a soft “Oh,” then smiled and clapped her hands. “Congratulations, Baimao, you’ve finally taken full control. Your day of displaying your talents is just around the corner!”

Su Huaiyu bowed slightly, seemingly unconvinced.

However, he quickly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with a change of heart. Even Li Xun, standing beside him, could see the intensity of that glint.

“Sister Shui, at this point, with your wisdom, there’s no need for me to exaggerate. Since Elder Hong’s passing, the sect no longer has to worry about being ostracized. In these troubled times, would you be willing to return to the sect and lend me a hand?”

Shui Dielan raised an eyebrow at this, while Li Xun rolled his eyes and turned his head away, his ears perking up.

After a moment of surprise, Shui Dielan quickly smiled and said, “It’s rare for you to say such things. However, I’m free and happy now. Why bother with troubles?”

Her tone wasn’t decisive, but Su Huaiyu was tactful enough to say no more. He sighed softly, his face rather glum.

Li Xun glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Even then, he couldn’t tell whether this guy’s expression was real or fake. He was so unfathomable, so similar to himself.

After a moment of silence, Su Huaiyu said slowly: “I know what you are thinking, senior sister. However, I have an unreasonable request: this world will be in turmoil in the future, and the sect may no longer be able to withstand any unnecessary losses.

“I will issue an order today to wipe out all the past affairs with senior sister, and the so-called kill order will be invalidated. Senior sister…”

Hearing him eliminate the kill order that represented the reputation of the sect as if it were a child’s play, Li Xun couldn’t help but be stunned even though he had sensed this trend before.

On the other hand, Shui Dielan, unfazed, hummed softly, “I’m free, why would I bother you?”

This rebuke, however, made Su Huaiyu beam, even dramatically raising his hand to his forehead in congratulation, “Senior Sister, you think so. We’re truly fortunate…”

“Really?”

Shui Dielan’s eerie blue lips curved into a strange arc, interrupting Su Huaiyu’s sigh. She raised her chin toward Li Xun, “For the sake of centuries of friendship, let me remind you: letting go of some things in time is truly a blessing!”

Su Huaiyu smiled faintly and turned to look over. Li Xun’s eyes met theirs, their sharpness subsiding, yet a subtle glint shone through.

This was the first time Li Xun had faced a sect leader head-on. He remained composed, yet possessed a certain energy. It was also at this moment that he realized, unknowingly, that his state of mind had reached a new level of refinement.

The two men’s sharp edges flashed briefly, then faded. Su Huaiyu looked rather surprised and said, “Come to think of it, this is the Taoist Baigui. His cultivation is profound, one might think, but I didn’t expect his knowledge to be so vast. He’s quite formidable!”

This was the first sentence in their direct exchange, and it was quite fitting for someone of Su Huaiyu’s stature. However, in the current situation, it had a strange quality.

Li Xun, with his keen sense, naturally sensed it. According to his natural disposition, the correct approach at this moment would have been to play it safe and retreat. However, as he responded, a surge of heat surged through his heart, and his words changed their tone.

“To survive, we must put in more effort.” After a pause, Li Xun’s lips curled slightly, and he added, “Your clan seeks the truth through killing, even sacrificing their lives. Baigui is weak and cannot emulate this. We can only do our best to save our own skin.”

For someone of Baigui’s stature, such words were tantamount to provocation. How could Su Huaiyu not hear it?

Though furious, he maintained a composed demeanor. With a smile, he glanced at Shui Dielan, only to find her staring at Baigui with a hint of surprise on her face. Clearly, this response had taken her by surprise.

Talented individuals often harbor a wealth of thoughts, and seeing Shui Dielan in such a state, Su Huaiyu hesitated to express his displeasure until he had thoroughly understood their relationship.

He paused, then swallowed his anger, pretending he hadn’t understood. He nodded to Li Xun and returned to Shui Dielan.

“Senior Sister Shui is so rarely in the mood to support the younger generation, so I naturally can’t spoil her spirit. Well, at the risk of antagonizing Bishui-Jun, let this deal fall through… After all, if all of Madam Yan’s disciples are like this, our sect will no longer accept Bishui-Jun’s business. It’s only a matter of time before we’re done anyway!”

While this was a favor, he was also being overly respectful.

Even though Li Xun felt awkward, he couldn’t say anything else. He nodded as a gesture of gratitude, and glanced over to Shui Dielan, only to see her winking at him with a warm and unrestrained attitude.

In an instant, Su Huaiyu’s expression became extremely strange.

It was dawn, and the three of them had gradually drifted away from the chaotic forest under the blowing of the morning breeze.

In the fresh air and the gradually brightening light, Shui Dielan’s face was beautiful to the point of being enchanting.

Su Huaiyu’s gaze passed over it, and it seemed as if it was suddenly burned. He squinted for a moment, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said goodbye.

“Since Senior Sister has made up her mind, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“Oh, please!”

Without any hypocritical courtesy, Shui Dielan waved her hand impatiently as a farewell, and Li Xun only bowed slightly in acknowledgement.

Su Huaiyu didn’t hold back a single ounce of discontent, and seemingly had forgotten that the sect’s rare Soul-Searching Ice Fly was still in the other person’s possession. He didn’t even mention the incident. With a smile, he slowly drifted away.

Finally, he spoke softly, “If Senior Sister ever changes her mind, please let me know. I’ll open my gates to welcome you…”

After a pause, Su Huaiyu suddenly remembered something. Before he disappeared into the clear sky, he whispered, “I heard that old freak Qianji has whipped up something new. Senior Sister, you’d better be careful!”

His voice was still ringing in his ears when he vanished. The Luoyu Sect assassins nearby had already silently retreated.

Li Xun touched his chin, a strange smile on his face: “After all this talk, I’m afraid his real intention is not to do this.”

“Yes, it’s about our lives!” Shui Dielan gave Li Xun a cold look: “Idiot, you still don’t understand what it means to be on the same side? Do you really think that the leader of a dignified sect would take these trash with him when he goes out?

“Humph, there are at least two Xuanyu waiting twenty miles away. If I had shown any signs of injury, we would have run for our lives!”

The Luoyu Sect’s assassin classification is based on the five colors of yellow, green, blood, black, and white. Among them, white feather is just a nickname for the sect leader, and black feather represents the highest-level assassin in the sect.

“Two? I thought there was only one!”

Li Xun responded in surprise, but saw Shui Dielan’s even more surprised face.

He shrugged: “Ever since I learned this weird skill, I’ve become quite sensitive to living creatures, but it seems to be worse than your nose…

“Besides, even if someone is lying in ambush, would he really risk fighting? You know, if he’s not careful, he might be eaten by us!”

Shui Dielan snorted, but the anger reached her throat and she couldn’t help but coughing: “You were really fooled by him, he took action just because you couldn’t think of it! This madman, I almost watched him grow up, how could I not know him?”

“Madman?” Li Xun thought about it, but didn’t feel any such signs. He shook his head, “Maybe I’m short-sighted, but, purely from my point of view… ha!”

There was indeed some different meaning in the laughter, however, for Shui Dielan, it had no effect at all.

She sneered, “Fool! If he still had even a shred of humanity, how could he have become the leader of the Luoyu Sect? Which of the Luoyu Ten Killing Techniques doesn’t require a complete severance of emotions and the ability to navigate life and death with ease? After centuries of immersion in such techniques, even a bodhisattva could transform into a demon.

“Why did I betray my sect and then turn back to the Zhugou Sect? Was it for fun? Wasn’t it just to find a place to kill people?”

Li Xun’s laughter stopped, and he frowned. He was certainly not a fool or an idiot, but if the other party was truly a lunatic, he certainly couldn’t grasp his way of thinking. So, he humbly asked for advice: “So what do you think he’s trying to do?”

“Didn’t you hear him? The old monster Qianji is coming to cause trouble for me, and told me to be careful in the near future…”

Shui Dielan emphasized the word “in the near future”. If Li Xun still didn’t understand by now, then he would be a complete fool.

“He knows you’re injured! No, since he bought the information from the Yanxing Sect, he has to be more comprehensive… Hey, you mean, something happened in the Southeast Forest Sea?”

“What happened?” Shui Dielan asked back, her expression quite interesting: “Haven’t you been thinking about it in your heart these past two days? Why don’t you tell me?”

The meaning of these words was so striking that it choked Li Xun. The words came to his lips, but he couldn’t spit them out. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said: “You see it so clearly, aren’t you also thinking about it in your heart?”

Although he said so, Li Xun hesitated for a moment, and then continued: “Perhaps it won’t be long before you and Ramash in the Southeast Forest Sea will fight and spread throughout the world. This cannot be concealed.

“That’s fine, but you said at the time that Ramash ambushed Baihuandie, not Shui Dielan. So, what was your identity when you were ambushed?”

“Does it make a difference?”

It was obvious that Shui Die Lan was feigning ignorance, thus livening up the suddenly tense atmosphere. Li Xun, knowing full well, rolled his eyes.

“Nonsense! Ramash was originally a bit wary of me, concerned about the ownership of Wuyinxuan. It might have been fine before, but now with Yan Shuiyue’s incident, the value of this place has skyrocketed, making it a perfect time to profit. If he were to discover the change now, hey, are Ramash’s tactics that easy to deal with?”

Shui Die Lan smiled at him, confirming that he had finished speaking, then raised an eyebrow and asked, “And then?”

“What then?”

“No? In a situation like this, shouldn’t someone express doubts? Not just about this matter, but also about what came before and what will happen next?”

Li Xun lost even the energy to smile bitterly. This

seemingly frank, yet in reality cunning and rogue response was simply not something he could handle in his current state of mind.

If the two of them were to fight now, Li Xun would probably die miserably, but why wasn’t he nervous at all?

Li Xun was about to raise his hands in surrender when he suddenly saw Shui Dielan approaching, bringing the two of them very close.

This sudden move made Li Xun instinctively lean back slightly, but when his forehead leaned back, it was blocked by Shui Dielan’s hands.

This was an extremely ambiguous action.

Shui Dielan raised her face almost provocatively and met Li Xun’s eyes.

“You won’t care about the past, so let’s talk about the future. Let me guess what you’re thinking… Are you scared? Yes, you know so many of my secrets, but the effectiveness of the “Heart Knot” is only a short hundred years, which is a bit short for us. “

Li Xun laughed dryly: “What are you talking about… Woo!”

He couldn’t say any more, because the soft lips of Shui Dielan had lightly touched the corner of his lips, and the next moment, his lips hurt, and a slightly fishy smell spread from the junction of their lips and tongues.

The stimulating taste made Li Xun’s heart leap. In an unprecedented expansion and contraction, boiling heart blood surged to his throat, and the poisonous insects hidden within his body let out a joyful shriek.

Their lips parted.

With the tip of her tongue, Shui Dielan gently licked away the remaining blood from the corner of her lips, her smile almost bewitchingly charming.

“A hundred years is too short, so I’ll water it with my heart blood. How long it will last, even I can’t guess! Maybe two hundred, three hundred, but maybe one day, it will suddenly lose its effectiveness… Are you afraid?”

Li Xun took a deep breath, greedily absorbing all the remaining bloody scent in the air. His blood seemed to boil.

At this moment, he felt that his current position was too passive, so he reached out and tried to cup Shui Dielan’s face.

However, halfway up, he suddenly realized that his left hand was still clenched tightly into a ball, which seemed particularly ridiculous in the atmosphere. The pain he had long been accustomed to suddenly became real. He even felt the jade talisman in his palm twist and turn within his flesh.

Shui Dielan’s eyes glanced from his fist to his side, then glanced back sideways. The curve of her lips seemed to deepen in an instant.

Li Xun, for some reason, suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and his smile faltered.

“It seems my worries were… for nothing!”

As the word “for nothing” left his mouth, Li Xun groaned and doubled over like a shrimp.

Shui Dielan’s knee strike was absolutely relentless. The solid kneecap, carrying immense forward force, nearly pierced Li Xun’s abdomen!

Even if Li Xun’s internal organs had been transformed into a fluid energy, the blow would have been unpleasant. The rapidly increasing pressure in his abdominal cavity almost squeezed his heart to pieces. He made a few gurgling sounds in his throat, and his face turned purple.

Shui Dielan snorted softly, loosened her hands on his neck, and moved back. However, as soon as she moved, her shoulders tightened, and were instead held by Li Xun’s hands.

It was just a hold.

Li Xun obviously had not recovered from the knee strike just now. He took a deep breath, leaned forward, and almost put the weight of his whole body on Shui Dielan.

Especially his chin, which was stuck on Shui Dielan’s thin shoulder. The sound of every breath was clearly heard by the witch’s ears.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Shui Dielan hit him again, but this time the force was a little smaller.

Li Xun chuckled softly. The cool air he inhaled was inevitably mixed with the enchanting fragrance of the enchantress. Blending with the warm breath on the back of his neck, it possessed a powerful magic that unconsciously made his voice hoarse.

Then, he declared in Shui Dielan’s crystal-clear little ear: “Don’t worry, if there ever comes a day like that, I will definitely be one step ahead of you… So, don’t think about it anymore!”

How frank… But that’s what makes it fun!

Shui Dielan wanted to laugh, but in the end, she only uttered an inaudible “hmm,” her gaze lifted to the endless sky, in the direction of the brilliant morning light.

Thousands of miles of clouds interwoven, the rising sun gradually rose in the middle, like a phoenix flapping its wings. But why did she see all this?

At this moment, if the man who was so close to her truly shared her feelings, who would he be thinking of?
