"How is this a rope? It's clearly a two-headed snake!”Qian Xing complained as he looked at the tassel-haired immortal binding lock in front of him.
Just like that, Qian Xing and Ye Chen were inexplicably captured by a group of inexplicable demons.
"Phantom monster, who is your king? Why did you capture us?" Ye Chen asked impolitely.
The Phantom Monster stopped and reached out to grab Ye Chen's neck. His eyes narrowed slightly and he said coldly," My name is Black Wind. Don't call me wrong again!”After saying that, he swung his hand hard and three bloody marks were left on Ye Chen's neck. This was the first time Ye Chen had been treated like this. He, who had always been arrogant, felt a little frustrated. He glared at Black Wind fiercely.
Black Wind was just like his name. He was dressed in black and moved like the wind. He was still wearing a black hooded robe. No one had ever seen him take off his hat before. Because the hat blocked the light in the robe, it was very dark. People could not see his facial features clearly, but they could clearly see his beast-like eyes. In the darkness, they were even brighter and weirder, like leopards lurking in the dark. They would spy on your every move in the dark night and suddenly jump out and tear you into pieces.
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of who she had offended. Qian Xing knew her own limits. Her skills were more than enough to deal with mortals. How could she dare to provoke demons and ghosts with powerful magic power? Why would demons come to her door? Qianxing was puzzled. So she thought from another angle. It was not that she had offended the demon, but the demon had deliberately provoked her. But why? Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind," Don't tell me they're after the Thousand Star Beads?”
After arriving at a cave, the little demons removed the black cloth from Qian Xing and Ye Chen's eyes. Qian Xing looked around carefully. They were in a small stone house. There was nothing else in the house except for a stone chair, a stone table, and a stone bed. He didn't expect it to be quite clean. Qian Xing was confused. She and Ye Chen were clearly prisoners, so why did they bring them here? Could it be that this was their prison cell? Wasn't that too nice to the prisoners?
"Hand over the Thousand Star Bead!" Black Wind said sternly.
" It's indeed for my Thousand Star Bead," Qian Xing thought. She refused to admit it and pretended not to know what he was talking about." What bead?" I don't know."
"Don't play dumb with me. I don't want to say the same thing again!”
"If you say you don't know, then you don't know!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll get someone to search you."
What should he do? Qian Xing's heart sank when she heard Black Wind's words, but her hands and feet were tied up and she could not resist.
"Don't touch her, or I won't let you off!”Ye Chen warned Black Wind.
"Is it still your turn to negotiate with me now?”Black Wind looked at Ye Chen contemptuously.
" You..." Ye Chen was so angry that he could not speak.
Seeing Ye Chen like this, Heifeng laughed out loud and said," You're indeed a sentimental person. You can't take a joke. I only want the Thousand Star Beads and I'm not interested in anything else!”
Black Wind stretched out his hand towards Qian Xing and started to cast a spell. Qian Xing's hair and clothes fluttered, and his body emitted a blue light. The Thousand Star Bead under Qian Xing's neck seemed to have sensed something and floated out of Qian Xing's clothes. Heifeng grabbed the Thousand Star Bead and tore the necklace off.
"Give it back to me!" Qian Xing shouted angrily and reached out to snatch it back. The little demon next to him stepped forward and held Qian Xing down.
"Return it to her quickly, or I'll make you suffer. Do you know who I am?”Ye Chen said,
"I want to hear about your background.”
A few little gremlins escorted Ye Chen out. Black Wind turned around and looked at Qian Xing. Qian Xing felt that his gaze was very strange, but he could not tell what was strange about it.
"Where are you taking Yechen?”Qian Xing shouted at Black Wind's back, but Black Wind didn't answer and walked away.
Ye Chen was brought to a spacious room. The furnishings in the room were simple and elegant. What surprised Ye Chen even more was that there were a few landscape paintings hanging in the room. The shelves were filled with books. If it were not for the few demons standing in front of him, he would really think that he had entered someone's study.
Black Wind motioned for his men to untie Ye Chen. Then, the few little gremlins retreated. Now, there were only the two of them left in the room. Ye Chen guessed that Black Wind wanted to know about his and Qian Xing's background. He calmly waited for Black Wind to interrogate him.
" Plop!" Black Wind knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Chen. Then, he said," I have offended you. Please forgive me, Second Prince."”
Ye Chen was confused by his actions. He asked blankly," You…What's wrong?”
Black Wind stood up and said respectfully," There is a person. You will understand once you meet him.”With that, Black Wind bowed again and left.
Ye Chen was the only one left in the room. He sat on the stool and waited for the mysterious person that Black Wind had mentioned.
The door was pushed open and Ye Chen heard the sound and looked outside. When he saw who it was, Ye Chen was so shocked that he could not speak. His body could not help but stand up slowly.
"Brother, why are you here?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"I'm here to help you." Ye Ting said and showed the Thousand Star Bead to Ye Chen.
"But why?" Ye Chen asked in confusion.
"My father has no patience to wait for you to slowly find the Thousand Star Bead, so he plans to send someone else. I know that you must have some important reason that you can't get the Thousand Star Bead back, so I took the initiative to help you.”Ye Ting continued," Actually, from the last time you didn't want to go back with me, I had some guesses. It wasn't until I saw the two of you together that I understood.”
"Are you spying on me?" Ye Chen asked in disbelief.
"I just don't want you to take the wrong path. Don't blame me.”
Ye Chen suppressed his anger. He knew that Ye Ting was doing this for his own good. Seeing Ye Chen sulking, Ye Ting couldn't help but laugh." Don't be angry with your brother. Isn't this just right?"”Ye Chen did not say anything, but his expression changed. It looked like he was no longer angry. Ye Ting said," Tell me, how did you guys meet?”
Ye Ting listened with great interest. Ye Chen told Ye Ting about how he and Qianxing met and fell in love. Ye Ting saw Ye Chen's blissful look and knew that he was sincere. He was happy for Ye Chen from the bottom of his heart, but he was also worried about their future.
He had originally planned to go to Chang 'an and use the Emperor's Dragon Qi to ensure the safety of Qianxing. Now, there was no need. Ye Ting had disrupted Ye Chen's plans. What should he do next?
"Shen, why don't you follow me back to the palace?" Ye Ting suggested.
"Return to the palace?"
"Yes, return to the palace and give the Thousand Star Bead to my father.”
"What about Qianxing?"
"Shen, are you really going to listen to me for her sake? You don't want father to be suspicious, right?”
"Brother, why does father want the Thousand Star Beads?”
"If Father is unwilling to say, who can ask?”Ye Ting said helplessly.
"Brother, don't tell father about Qian Xing.”
"Don't worry!"
Although he said that, how was Ye Chen going to face Qianxing in the future? In the end, he still couldn't achieve the best of both worlds. Now, this was the second-best solution. He only hoped that Qian Xing would never know about this. Since she couldn't use the Thousand Star Beads to become an immortal quickly, she would use the dumbest method to cultivate slowly. Even if it was thousands of years, Ye Chen would wait for her, as long as she was fine. As he thought about it, Ye Chen felt a lot more relieved.
Those little demons treated Qian Xing well. They were neither polite nor rude. They just provided her with three meals a day. She really did not know why they were still trapping her. The Thousand Star Bead had clearly been taken away, so what was the point of keeping her? She did not know where Yechen had been taken either. Qian Xing was worried that Black Wind would harm Yechen, so she paced around the stone house restlessly. There was only one door and not even a window in this stone house. It was too difficult to escape, but Qian Xing was not willing to just sit here and wait for death. She had to find a way out. At the very least, she had to see Yechen safe and sound.
Qian Xing did not know that while she was worried about Ye Chen's safety, Ye Chen had already returned to the Dragon Palace with Ye Ting. Ye Chen handed over the Thousand Star Bead. Ye Chi was very happy to receive the Thousand Star Bead, so he no longer reprimanded Ye Chen. Instead, he praised Ye Ting and even rewarded him with many rare treasures. Ye Chen wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Ting with a look.
Back in the room, Ye Chen asked in confusion and a little angrily," Brother, why did you stop me?!”
Ye Ting shook his head and thought to himself, What a silly brother.”Then he said,"Did Father praise you?”
Ye Chen replied,"No."
Ye Ting continued," Since that's the case, do you think Father will agree to your request now?”"Not only will he not agree, but he will also get angry. Wouldn't that be self-defeating? You have to be patient.”
"I've been back for too long. I'm going to look for Qianxing. If father looks for me, help me out.”Without waiting for Ye Ting's reply, she left in a hurry.
After obtaining the Thousand Star Bead, Ye Chi went to the Holy Land alone. The sacred land was located in the center of the Dragon Palace and was heavily guarded. No one could enter except for the leader of the Dragon Clan.
Ye Chi came to a large pool that was constantly flowing out. The pool was made of Dragon Spring Stone and was dark in color. The pool was about three feet long, two feet wide, and three and a half feet deep. In the center of the pool was a pearl the size of a pearl. The pearl was emitting a dazzling white light. It looked even more beautiful through the clear water.
The snow-white walls around the holy land were carved with huge dragon patterns, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. Ye Chi took out the Thousand Star Bead and placed it in his palm. The Thousand Star Bead sensed that the Dragon Eye in the pool was emitting white light. The Dragon Eye was also flashing. The two beads seemed to be attracting each other. The Thousand Star Bead flew from Ye Chi's palm to the top of the Dragon Eye. A small portion of the stars in the Thousand Star Bead were still dim and dull. Ye Chi injected his mana into the Thousand Star Bead, wanting to light up all the stars. However, the Thousand Star Bead did not absorb Ye Chi's mana at all. Its light changed and flashed very quickly. Suddenly, a powerful immortal technique exploded, illuminating the entire room in an instant. Ye Chi was also thrown far away, and the Thousand Star Bead returned to its original state and fell to the ground.
Ye Chi took back the Thousand Star Bead and walked out of the Holy Land unhappily. He called Ye Ting over to ask him about the Thousand Star Bead. Ye Ting avoided the relationship between Qian Xing and Ye Chen and gave him a simple explanation. Ye Chi knew that the two brothers had always had a good relationship. Ye Ting must have helped Ye Chen hide something, so he did not ask further. Ye Chi handed the Thousand Star Beads to Ye Ting and instructed him to hand them over to Ye Chen. He also asked Ye Ting to tell Ye Chen that as long as he could light up all the Thousand Star Beads and get them back, he would promise him one thing, no matter what it was.
