When they arrived at the place where the infant spirit appeared yesterday, Qian Xing asked Li Shuo," How do we know where the infant spirit's body is buried?”
"You'll know when you release the Snake Core Grass. It's a spirit beast and knows far more than you do.”
Qian Xing released the Snake Heart Grass. It wriggled on the ground and stopped when it reached the road. Qian Xing and the others walked over. The Snake Core Grass climbed up Qian Xing's finger and directly entered the brocade bag.
"Isn't this the newly built road in the village? Why is the corpse buried underneath?" Qian Xing asked in confusion.
" Maybe the body was buried here and the road workers didn't find it and covered it up," Ye Chen guessed.
"Their movements were restricted, so they vented their anger on the villagers.”
Now that things were clear, Qian Xing looked much more relaxed. Ye Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. Li Shuo did not say anything, but he felt uneasy. Was it really that simple? As far as he knew, the trapped infant spirit did not have any magic power. How could it produce such a strong ghost haze that enveloped the entire village? However, seeing how happy Qianxing was, he didn't want to disappoint her. Anyway, he had to deal with the bones first and then slowly study the details.
Just as he was about to dig out the infant spirit's bones, the village chief brought people to stop him. A group of villagers held hoes and rakes in confrontation with Ye Chen and the others, not allowing them to act rashly. The village chief took a few steps forward and said," What do you outsiders want to do?”
Qian Xing wanted to tell them his purpose, but they didn't listen at all. They only shouted that they weren't allowed to destroy this path.
Qian Xing couldn't be bothered to explain to them. He just said," We're saving this village. Go home!"”
"If you destroy this path and anger the gods, you will bring disaster. This is clearly to harm us. Get out of our village!" The other villagers echoed and shouted,"Get out, get out!”
"How foolish!" Qian Xing was so angry that his lungs were about to explode as he muttered to himself.
If soft tactics didn't work, then he would use force. Ye Chen glared at the villagers and clenched his fists. A powerful airflow sprayed out from Ye Chen's surroundings. The villagers in the front rows were immediately sent flying far away. The others looked at Ye Chen in fear and didn't dare to move forward. Ye Chen returned to his normal state and said to them casually,"If you don't want to die, get lost!"”Everyone looked at each other, picked up the hoe, turned around, and ran.
The road was dug open, and a foul smell assaulted their faces. Qian Xing covered his nose and looked into the pit. Two small round baby heads were revealed in the pit. They thought that they had turned into two white bones, but they were rotting corpses that had been bitten by the corpse worms. The strange thing was that the babies were standing. Qian Xing continued to dig with questions. Judging from their clothes, they should be a baby boy and a baby girl. He carefully placed the bodies on the road and cleaned them up. Qian Xing could not help but feel his eyes turn red. It was as if his heart was being crushed by lead, and it was difficult for him to breathe. Ye Chen placed his hand on Qian Xing's shoulder. Qian Xing felt it and her head moved, but she did not turn to look at Ye Chen.
He took out a box that he had prepared beforehand and gently placed the bodies inside. Li Shuo found that the wrists of the two baby corpses were wearing ornaments carved from peach pits and tied with red strings. Upon closer inspection, the peach pit of the baby boy was engraved with the word " Hao ", while the peach pit of the baby girl was engraved with the word " Yue ". These should be their baby names.
He chose a place with good feng shui in the village to bury the baby again. After everything was arranged, it was already dark. The few of them decided to go back first.
Qian Xing's anger had completely dissipated. He was chatting and laughing with Ye Chen as he walked in front. Li Shuo following behind them seemed unnecessary. He felt uncomfortable all over and only hoped to return to his residence as soon as possible to end the torture on him.
At night, Qian Xing was very depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to. There were some things that she could not let others know, but she felt very uncomfortable if she did not say them out loud. She let the Snake Core Grass out and let it be her confidant. Qian Xing reached out and touched its head. The Snake Core Grass squinted its eyes and seemed to enjoy it.
"Xin, is this really the end?”" I thought we knew each other very well, but now I realize that's not the case. I know he loves me very much, and I love him too, but sometimes he still doesn't trust me.”"Ever since he left the Blissful Island, Yechen seemed to have changed. He's different from before. He's always troubled, and he won't tell me when I ask him.”"Xin, what do you think he's worried about? Are you worried that your identity will be exposed?" Qian Xing threw the question to the Snake Core Grass, then held his chin with both hands and waited for the Snake Core Grass's answer with his eyes wide open. The Snake Core Grass tilted its head and stuck out its forked tongue at Qian Xing. Qian Xing was amused by its dazed look.
"Little Xing, are you asleep?" Ye Chen asked from outside the door.
"Not yet!" Qian Xing put the Snake Heart Grass back into the brocade bag and got up to open the door for Ye Chen.
"Little Star, shall we leave tomorrow?”
"Why are you in such a hurry? There were still six days of scriptures that he hadn't recited.”
"The ice cube will do the rest. Let's leave this place and go somewhere else.”Although it was a discussion, it was in an irrefutable tone.
"Ice cube, ice cube, doesn't she have a name?!”Qian Xing said angrily.
"Anyway, the matter here has been resolved. Let's leave first!”Ye Chen's tone became even more unyielding.
"Why are you in such a hurry to let me leave?”Qian Xing asked loudly.
Ye Chen did not know how to answer her. His tone was much gentler as he continued," Aren't you going to light up the Thousand Star Beads? We've already finished our merit points here.”
"I don't want to light up the Thousand Star Beads so soon. I'm not ready yet. I don't even know if I want to be a god.”
"Why don't you want to become an immortal? This is a good fortune that others can't even dream of.”
" I don't want to be bound by the rules and regulations of the Heavenly Palace. I'm used to being free. I like it. I can still do whatever I want after becoming a Heavenly God."
"What if I made you a Heavenly Deity?”Ye Chen asked seriously.
Qian Xing was stunned. She didn't know what to say. Ye Chen approached Qian Xing step by step and held her hand. He stared into Qian Xing's eyes and asked again," If it was for me, would you be willing?”
Their eyes met. It was as if time and everything around them had stopped. It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat. Qian Xing tried to avoid Ye Chen's burning gaze, but Ye Chen grabbed her wrist tightly and forced Qian Xing to look at him. Qian Xing looked at Ye Chen and tried to break free, but Ye Chen did not seem to feel anything and held onto Qian Xing's wrist tightly. He suddenly asked," You don't want to become an immortal because of Li Shuo?”Ye Chen's eyes were like a wild beast staring at its prey. Qian Xing's eyes were wet. She used all her strength to push Ye Chen away and shouted at him," Why do you care so much if I'm a god?”"Are you afraid that I'm not worthy of your status as the Second Prince of the Dragon Clan?”"Let me tell you honestly, I'm a Catwoman. Even if I become a god, I'm not worthy of you!”After saying that, she ran out. Ye Chen wanted to reach out to stop her, but she pushed him away fiercely. Ye Chen didn't know what was wrong with him. He was so impulsive to say those words to Qian Xing. Without hesitation, he immediately chased after her.
It was very dark outside. In just an instant, he could no longer see Qianxing. Ye Chen blamed himself and stood by the roadside, not knowing what to do.
Qian Xing ran to the river in one breath and stopped panting. A thick layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river, and there were still stones and sticks thrown by naughty children on the ice. Qian Xing sat by the river and thought about the first time she met Ye Chen. It was also by the river. Qian Xing felt that it was a long time ago. It was so beautiful back then, but unfortunately, she could not go back.
" Cough cough." Li Shuo stood behind Qian Xing and deliberately coughed twice to attract her attention.
Qian Xing wiped away her tears and turned around, smiling at Li Shuo. What were they doing here so late at night?”
"I saw you running out, and you didn't look right, so I chased after you.”Li Shuo's tone contained a trace of heartache. Qian Xing also heard it. She turned her head away from him and said softly," I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you to recite the scriptures for the infant spirit."”She stood up slowly after saying that.
"Are you avoiding me?" Li Shuo asked straightforwardly.
He couldn't watch her leave him again. The feeling of not knowing when they would see each other again was too torturous. He wanted to tell her everything in his heart. Even if she hated him and didn't want to see him in the future, at least he could put down the stone in his heart and completely give up on her. He was no longer willing to suppress the feelings in his heart and give Ye Chen his blessings hypocritically.
"You're thinking too much. It's just that it's very boring to stay here for a long time and I want to change places.”Qian Xing said calmly.
" Qianxing, I like you, I like you from the first time I saw you." Li Shuo mustered up the courage to say what he had been holding back.
He was waiting for Qian Xing to reject him so that he would give up on her and stop having any illusions about her.
Sure enough, Qian Xing hesitated for a while before saying," I'm sorry. I promised Ye Chen that I wouldn't leave him unless he left me. I love him."”
Although Li Shuo had already expected this outcome, when he heard Qian Xing say it himself, he still felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. Li Shuo smiled bitterly and pretended to be calm.”
The two of them didn't say anything else and just stood there awkwardly. The cold wind in the winter was like a knife cutting through their skin. Li Shuo said," It's too cold. Let me send you back. Perhaps this will be the last time."”Qian Xing couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
There were no stars in the sky at night. It was a gray sky. The two of them walked in the shadows of the swaying trees without saying a word. From afar, she saw Ye Chen standing at the door and looking around. Qian Xing slowly walked forward with a complicated expression. Ye Chen hurriedly ran over and asked worriedly," Where did you go? I was so worried." Qian Xing did not look Ye Chen in the eye. Right now, she just wanted to be alone. She walked into the room alone and closed the door. Ye Chen looked at the closed door and felt an unspeakable sorrow in his heart. When he turned around and saw Li Shuo, he was instantly filled with anger.
He didn't want to cause a conflict in front of Thousand Stars 'door and make Thousand Stars unhappy. Ye Chen signaled for Li Shuo to follow him. Li Shuo guessed what Ye Chen would say, but he didn't refuse. Ye Chen tried hard to control his anger and asked,"Why did you come back together?"”
"We bumped into each other by accident and came back together.”Li Shuo said lightly.
"We will leave this place tomorrow. You'd better stay away from Little Xing and never appear in front of her again.”Ye Chen said provocatively.
" My business is not your business." Li Shuo was equally determined.
Ye Chen and Li Shuo were facing each other. Their eyes, which were also burning with flames, collided with each other, causing invisible sparks to fly in the air.
A gust of cold wind blew over, tousling the long hair of the two handsome young masters. Their hair danced in the wind and intertwined. Looking at their cold, sharp, and aggressive expressions, a big battle was inevitable.
