Chapter 205 A Shocking Kneeling Kiss While Crossing the River of Oblivion (Part 4)
They should have gone to the border long ago.
Li Tingyun scratched his forehead and back, thinking: If this drags on any longer, he'll have to "show his true colors" in front of Mei Shiyu. The key is, his "true colors" are not good at all.
The "dragon" at the bottom of the Demon Abyss is a mess, with bizarre and strange appearance. Its appearance is so terrifying that it could scare people to death.
He wasn't lying; Li Tingyun was terrified the first time he saw it.
Its ugliness is indescribable.
It's not that you're born ugly. If you're born ugly, at least the ugliness is natural. No matter how scary it is, it shouldn't exude a strange and twisted feeling.
It looked as if it had undergone some cruel experience, and had been brutally distorted into a hideous form, its original appearance no longer recognizable.
The reason why Li Tingyun always has "reverse scales" on his body is because the dragon's body is too ugly and messy, with scales lying all over the place... He will never reveal his primordial spirit until he has repaired the entire dragon to make it look good, lest he embarrass himself there!
As early as when he accidentally revealed his dragon horns, Li Tingyun wanted to go back to the Demon Abyss to take a look, but at that time Mei Shiyu had not yet settled down, so he wanted to wait a little longer. Later, not only did Mei Shiyu stay, but she also taught him how to refine pills, so he stayed by her side for a moment and kept circling around her.
The matter has been delayed again and again, and it has dragged on until now.
Finally, after blowing up the last alchemy furnace in Taiji Palace, Lin Qiutan was exhausted in the metallurgical workshop in White Tiger City. The supply of new goods was delayed. Li Tingyun had no furnace to refine pills, so he decided to take advantage of this break to make a trip to the border region.
Before leaving, he had a sudden thought and asked Mei Shiyu, "Are you coming with me?"
Mei Shiyu, probably acting on impulse, actually nodded to him and said, "Okay."
What's so good about it?
Li Tingyun felt something was off. Why did he take Mei Shiyu to the underworld? And why did Mei Shiyu follow him so closely through the gates of hell? Was the underworld fun? Not at all.
They witnessed a spectacular display of lights at the border market and listened to stories told at the vendors' stalls—the former a tragedy in which countless innocent souls perished, the latter a tragedy in which a little ghost suffered unbearable torment.
Whether it's a tragedy or a devastating event, it all demonstrates just how lifeless, dark, and devoid of vitality Fengdu Ghost Realm truly is, permeated with profound and heavy despair, a place no living person should linger in.
Not fun at all.
Only someone with a screw loose would "meet" in a place like this.
Li Tingyun decided to follow her intuition.
leave here.
He meant that Mei Shiyu could leave alone.
But judging from Mei Shiyu's expression, she had no intention of separating from him; if she were to leave, they would leave together.
Li Tingyun: "Do we have to go together?"
Mei Shiyu: "...Hmm."
The Immortal Venerable actually nodded again.
Li Tingyun's daily "entanglement" was very effective. Mei Shiyu had gotten used to seeing him all the time, and they did everything together. If she didn't see him for a day, she would feel strange and like something was missing.
As the saying goes, "A good woman fears a persistent suitor, and a virtuous woman fears an idle man." Where in the world is there anyone as idle as the Master of Taiji Palace, who shamelessly pesters Immortal Mei to the bitter end? Even a rough stone should be polished smooth and rounded, its outer layer peeled away to reveal the crystal-clear jade inside.
Everyone has feelings, and Mei Shiyu certainly does too. He and Li Tingyun spend every day together, how could he remain indifferent forever?
Mei Shiyu even seriously considered what kind of feelings he had for Li Tingyun, and ultimately had to admit that the other party was his "very special friend." He didn't make friends with bad guys, except for one person.
Li Tingyun was his "unexpected complication".
He was his only "friends".
The kind of child I wouldn't dare bring home to meet my elders.
If his master were still alive, he would probably break his legs if he knew that he was associating with such a person.
But for a moment, Mei Shiyu thought that even if his leg was broken, he would still be willing to admit that Li Tingyun was his friend.
His unorthodox and rebellious friends were bad influences.
When Li Tingyun learned that Mei Shiyu regarded him as a "special friend," he was a little surprised. He originally thought that Mei Shiyu, with his sullen personality, liked to say one thing but mean another, and even if he thought that way, he would not say it out loud.
But he thought he was wrong.
In fact, Mei Shiyu can say anything and dares to say anything, but the premise is that he needs to be confirmed. He will only speak out about things that he believes in his heart. If he himself is confused, how can he express himself clearly in words?
He's not good with words, and there are some things he can't explain, so he simply doesn't say them.
This isn't called being secretly passionate.
That's called meticulousness.
Those who cultivate themselves do not speak falsehoods.
Li Tingyun knew that Mei Shiyu was oblivious, and that he had never given him a definite answer. The fact that Mei Shiyu was able to break down the barriers of "good and evil cannot coexist" and was the first to proactively and personally admit that they were friends was already the limit of his efforts.
Friends are great; take a step forward and you become confidants, take a step back and you become strangers.
Taking another step back would lead to enmity, but taking another step forward... is impossible.
Throughout this trip, Li Tingyun was somewhat uneasy. Mei Shiyu nodded to him twice, agreeing to come with him and to leave with him. What they did was not important; the important thing was that they were "together." He should have been happy, but the feeling of unease in his heart grew stronger.
Until they accidentally wandered into Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Li Tingyun caught the woman who had fallen from the sky.
Very good, the hanging heart is finally dead.
From that moment on, he forgot that he had promised Mei Shiyu that they would "leave together".
...at Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Upon hearing the words "top-grade furnace cauldron," Li Tingyun instantly became alert, his eyes darkening with malice.
He was acting strangely, like a wild leopard lurking in the dark, suddenly smelling the scent of its prey, its muscles tense, ready to do something unexpected at any moment.
This caused everyone present to become more vigilant.
Whether it was the Ten Kings of Reincarnation as the host, or Xue Rendong, who shouldn't have been in such a place.
Li Tingyun remained silent, his cold gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment before turning to the woman he had immobilized with a talisman, her limbs stiff and unable to move…
A top-grade furnace cauldron? He found it just like that? A blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse, and it came to him effortlessly? Rather than believing that a pie fell from the sky, he preferred to believe that what God had thrown at him was a trap.
Mei Shiyu noticed that he was staring intently at the unfamiliar woman for too long, and he was emanating a strange "excitement." Mei Shiyu wondered: Could it be that he has once again harbored the evil intention of refining pills from living people?
"Palace Master, shall we inspect this furnace cauldron first?"
Xue Rendong broke the silence first, bravely defending himself: "I only heard that Xiaoxiang Pavilion was having a charity sale, with the highlight being a rare and exquisite furnace cauldron, but I wasn't sure, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect that the Palace Master would also be here."
Li Tingyun gave a cold snort.
He was indifferent to the movements of his subordinates, only interested in the clue of the "exquisite furnace cauldron"...
He took a step forward.
But Mei Shiyu grabbed his arm.
A burning gaze fell on the back of his hand, and Mei Shiyu reduced the force of his grip, but did not let go for a long time.
The two were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Mei Shiyu gripped Li Tingyun's forearm as if he were holding a piece of raw iron, the grip feeling hard and solid, which showed how "guarded" he was.
This vigilance is certainly not out of fear or anxiety.
Rather, it stemmed from a strong interest.
They looked at each other in silence. Li Tingyun did not try to break free. After a long while, she gave in: "Okay, I won't go over there."
The tone was so coaxing and flirtatious that Mei Shiyu quickly let go, her fingers clenched tightly, and she tucked them into her sleeve.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xue Rendong once again showed courage—
Pointing to the person beside him, he shifted the blame: "Palace Master, he's the one who found the person. He knows the most about all the problems."
He successfully dragged his "good son" Xue Shishun into the mess.
The Ghost King felt a chill run down his spine and realized something was wrong; Dead Fish was up to no good!
Xue Rendong changed the subject: "Of the ten Kings of Hell, he is the most sensible."
“These days, Xue Shi has been attracting a lot of people from both the Yin and Yang realms to Xiaoxiang Pavilion under the guise of bidding for furnace cauldrons to attract business. However, he did not 'sell' that woman hastily, but kept her for Taiji Hall.”
"Just like last time, when the Palace Master said he wanted Yun Songhe's dog life, he cooperated by capturing him and sending him to the Four Symbols City."
Sensing that the piranha was trying to plead for him, the Ten Kings felt a little relieved. They withdrew the foot that was about to kick the piranha's knee and said politely with a laugh, "Oh, it's nothing. You know, I'm the kind of person who knows how to be pragmatic."
"It's quite a coincidence. You wanted to get your hands on Yun Songhe, but that lecherous guy just happened to stumble into my territory. And you were looking for a furnace, but I just happened to find one of extremely high quality here."
"What's even more coincidental is that this exquisite furnace cauldron has a connection with Yun Songhe that must be mentioned—"
Li Tingyun stood there, glanced at him, and said nothing, but the meaning was clear: it was indeed a coincidence, almost suspicious.
The Ten Kings touched their noses, but decided to finish their sentence: "She is indeed Si Wuxie's younger sister, and Yun Songhe's biological daughter."
Mei Shiyu was quite surprised and asked again and again, "Si Wuxie's younger sister, Si Wuyou?"
Li Tingyun heard the three words "Si Wuxie" come out of his mouth.
Extremely displeased.
Lower your arm, and reach for his wrist in a place hidden by your sleeves and out of sight.
Li Tingyun originally only wanted to pinch his wrist, but Mei Shiyu thought he was up to something sneaky! She decisively raised her hand to push him away, only to be caught red-handed.
The moment their fingertips touched, they both curled their fingers to avoid each other, but in the next instant, their curled fingers opened, and their hands actually clasped together.
A warm touch came from Mei Shiyu's palm. Li Tingyun gently squeezed it, and seeing that he did not react, he took advantage of the situation and scratched and rubbed his fingertips on the back of Mei Shiyu's hand, which felt tingly and a little itchy.
Mei Shiyu squeezed hard, and the hand became obedient. After a moment, when he tried to pull it away, the other hand held on tightly.
Li Tingyun froze.
Mei Shiyu's idea was simple: rather than worrying about him going out of control, it was better to help him in advance.
He's the kind of person who can turn his back on you faster than flipping through a book. He's used to killing with a smile, and his attacks are so sudden and unexpected that you can't defend against them. By the time you catch him off guard, it's too late. Getting close to him is a problem, let alone intervening to stop him.
Li Tingyun held his hand, feeling as if she had been caught red-handed, and dared not move much. She turned around and smiled.
They smiled more innocently than a three-year-old who had just licked a candied hawthorn.
The gloom in his eyes vanished instantly.
People relax, and their tense emotions are no longer as strong as before.
"I remember, the siblings returned to the Yunlan Sect and later changed their names?" Li Tingyun glanced past Si Wuyou and looked at the Ten Kings.
“Yes, she should be called ‘Yun Feiyan’ now.” The Tenth Prince paused and added, “However, Si Wuyou hates the surname ‘Yun’ and by extension, she doesn’t like the name ‘Feiyan’ either. Anyone who calls her that to her face will inevitably incur her wrath… Foxes hold grudges, so if she holds a grudge against you, you’re in big trouble.”
