Capítulo 100

While agonizing over her thoughts, Shen Zhili looked up and saw Su Chenche lying on top of Hua Jiuye, suddenly shoving a pill the size of a fingernail into Hua Jiuye's mouth.

Hua Jiuye raised his hand and punched Su Chenche twice. Just as he was about to spit it out, he saw Su Chenche suddenly lean down, his handsome face instantly magnified in front of him, their lips almost touching, their breaths audible.

Hua Jiuye was suddenly startled.

Damn it, if Su Chenche dares to kiss him, he'll chop Su Chenche's mouth off!

Unaware of what was happening, Su Chenche gave him an ambiguous smile and tapped his neck with her finger.

How disgusting...

"Ahhhhh, this is so exciting, I can't take it anymore!"

"Ahhh, me too! They're going to kiss, aren't they? They're going to kiss!"

Suddenly, female disciples A and B of the Demonic Sect screamed and ran away, covering their faces.

Thump.

Hua Jiuye, who was on tenterhooks, was suddenly startled and swallowed the pill with a jolt.

Su Chenche quickly recovered and climbed off Hua Jiuye, who was momentarily stunned, and ran to Shen Zhili's side like a spoiled child.

Hua Jiuye seemed to suddenly snap back to reality, clutching her neck, her face pale: "It's...stuck...in the water..."

A moment later, Hua Jiuye coughed violently while gulping down water and touching his neck, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Shen Zhili asked with some concern, "What exactly did you feed him?"

Su Chenche leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Seven Emotions Pill."

Shen Zhili was surprised: "...That wasn't..." You've already eaten it?

Su Chenche smiled gently: "Apart from what Zhili fed me, I don't fall for anything anyone else gives me so easily." His smile became even gentler, "If you dare to scheme against me, you should at least be prepared to be schemed against in return."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Why do I feel like my hair is standing on end?

Why would you carry such a dangerous item as the Seven Emotions Pill with you?

Su Chenche said regretfully, "I originally wanted to wait until Lei Ying had someone he liked before feeding him, but I didn't expect... I'm so kind."

Shen Zhili: "..."

I sympathize with my senior brother...

That medicine must be several years old, right? Could it have expired and gone bad? Is it okay for my senior brother to take it...?

Chapter eighty

After half an incense stick's time.

"Why are you looking back after we've left?" Hua Jiuye wiped his mouth uncomfortably, his tone unfriendly. "I'm warning you, my senior brother dislikes him extremely, extremely, extremely much!"

Shen Zhili withdrew her gaze and said, "Yes, let's get going."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall the scene from just now.

In an eerie atmosphere, a man with a high ponytail, dressed in tattered black clothes and wielding a heavy sword, unleashed tremendous power, sending his sword flying and knocking Su Chenche unconscious.

Then he bowed slightly, grabbed Su Chenche by the collar, and quickly disappeared.

The whole world suddenly fell silent.

Would you like some water?

A wine pot was handed to Shen Zhili, who took it, drank a sip, and then handed it back to Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian tossed her long hair and turned to hand Hua Jiuye a glass of water: "Would you like some water?"

Without a second thought, Hana Kuya took the bag and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

Shen Zhili: "..."

Hey, she just drank directly from her mouth... wait...

Shen Zhili's gaze fell on their clasped hands... The Seven Emotions Pill that Hua Jiuye had just taken contained...

Ye Qianqian's blood!

Shen Zhili's gaze as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance instantly became very complicated.

Unaware of their surroundings, the two rode side by side. The woman in red was incomparably beautiful and aloof, while the man in crimson was sinister and wicked. Against the backdrop of the desolate and vast red sun in the desert, they were surprisingly well-matched.

Shen Zhili thought silently, if they really got together, what a speechless couple they would be...

Even though Ye Qianqian was familiar with the location, it still took her five or six days to walk out of the desert.

After leaving Huiyue City, Ye Qianqian found an inn where the three of them stayed. According to the traditional gender-based arrangement, Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhili should share a room, and Hua Jiuye should share a room. However, Hua Jiuye was firmly against letting his junior sister stay with Ye Qianqian, so after some discussion, the three of them ended up sharing a room...

The room only had two tatami mats, one inside and one outside. For safety reasons, the inner mat was naturally Shen Zhili's.

Exhausted from the bumpy journey, Shen Zhili fell asleep immediately. When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and pushed open the door to say, "Good morning..."

It came to an abrupt end.

"I'm sorry, I'll go back to sleep for a while longer."

...On the messy outer bed, Ye Qianqian and Hua Jiuye lay disheveled, their limbs intertwined. Several empty wine jars lay on the small table, and their outer garments were scattered all over the floor.

Should we let her see this blindingly bright scene as soon as we open the door?

Shen Zhili struggled to hold up her chin, which was about to drop.

When I pushed the door open again, the scene outside had become both very normal and very abnormal.

Ye Qianqian calmly wiped the knife, while Hua Jiuye lowered his head to feed a small flower that had appeared out of nowhere.

But... Shen Zhili twitched her lips. Why are you sitting back to back?

Shen Zhili wasn't the only one who felt something was wrong.

Hua Jiuye sat calmly on his horse, but... I @#￥#%, what exactly happened last night!

They were just sitting across from each other drinking and chatting, so why did it end up like that?

And... He narrowed his eyes slightly and cautiously glanced at Ye Qianqian, who was also expressionlessly biting into sugarcane beside him.

Why……

He would feel...

The more I look at Ye Qianqian, the more pleasing she becomes to the eye; the more beautiful she gets, the more I truly love her!

Amidst Hua Jiuye's repeated struggles, Ye Qianqian's indifference and composure, and Shen Zhili's unfathomable gaze, the three finally arrived at Huichun Valley.

Ye Qianqian stopped at the valley entrance and said, "I won't go into the valley. I'll take my leave here."

Hua Jiuye was taken aback: "You're leaving already?"

Ye Qianqian pulled on the reins and nodded gently: "Yes, goodbye to the martial world."

The horse had barely taken a step when Hua Jiuye's voice was heard again: "Wait, let me take you there."

Ye Qianqian asked in surprise, "Give it to me?"

Hua Jiuye seemed to have difficulty speaking: "It's not safe for a woman to walk alone."

Ye Qianqian was even more surprised. She suddenly drew her sword and fiercely stabbed it into the ground, its cold light flashing: "Not safe?"

For once, Hua Jiuye's face showed a hint of self-deprecating frustration. He slightly shifted his gaze, trying to make his voice sound indifferent: "Anyway, I just want to give it to you. One word: are you willing?"

Ye Qianqian scratched her hair: "Okay."

Watching them leave, Shen Zhili had a vague feeling that her father was going to take a stepmother.

However... I still wish them happiness.

By the way, let's continue to sympathize with the senior brother. Dealing with a woman like Ye Qianqian must be something that requires bloodshed, tears, and swallowing one's pride.

*******************************************************************************

Looking back, it was still the Valley of Rejuvenation where she had lived for many years.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every house, and every room felt so familiar, as if they were etched into my memory.

This was, after all, her territory. She easily found her way to the cave and pushed open the door to enter.

The scene inside the grotto remained unchanged; it was still a cold lake and a coffin.

He touched the coffin and gently pushed it open with his fingertips.

Inside the crystal coffin lay a woman, a very beautiful woman. She wore a light silver dress that perfectly accentuated her figure, revealing her curves. Her eyes were gently closed, and you could almost see her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she might wake up at any moment. But no matter how well she was preserved, it could not change the fact that she was dead.

When Shen Zhili learned that she was her master's beloved, he was extremely jealous of her.

She was clearly dead, yet she still held onto the deepest love in her master's heart.

But at this moment, as she traced the woman's outline with her fingers, only tenderness remained in her heart.

This is... Su Chenche's mother.

She had never noticed before, but now that she looked at her, her exquisitely beautiful eyebrows and thin, elegant lips were exactly like Su Chenche's. Shen Zhili could even imagine that if this woman smiled, she would probably be just as gentle and harmless.

She actually knew this woman very well.

Although the Twelve Nights Flower is a legendary divine flower that can bring the dead back to life, it also has many limitations.

For example, only one woman can sacrifice a flower, and the woman must be willing and have a pure yin constitution. For example, the person being resurrected must have a blood pact with the divine flower before the Twelve Nights Flower is planted. For example, the person offering the sacrifice and the person being sacrificed must have a connection in their auras...

Shiro Hana wasn't actually resurrected, but rather borrowed a life.

The life force and blood of the sacrificer are extracted and given to the sacrificed person, meaning the dead continue to live by using the life of the living.

Therefore, she was very familiar with this woman. From the moment the Twelve Nights Flower was planted, her life and this woman's life were linked together.

Destined to die for this woman, Shen Zhili originally only planned to live out the rest of her days peacefully in Huichun Valley.

But, unexpectedly...

Su Chenche.

My hand is pressed against my heart, and the strands of hair that are wrapped around my clothes are soothing my chest, making my heart feel warm.

After pursing her lips and closing the coffin tightly, Shen Zhili walked towards the lake.

Many aquatic flowers float on the cold, empty lake, but the most eye-catching is the light purple flower in the very center of the lake.
