Chapter 122
Nestled in Song Pianxian’s arms, Yu Yi heard Song Pianxian’s slightly rapid breathing in her ears, and a feeling of satisfaction and contentment welled up in her heart, spreading endlessly.
It reminded her of the candy paintings she saw when her mother took her to the mortal realm, with syrup slowly dripping down, and the air filled with the sweet and sticky smell of sugar water.
Yu Yi’s nose twitched, brushing against Song Pianxian’s collar, her warm skin just separated by a layer of red clothing, and she gently sniffed.
Sweet.
Exquisitely beautiful.
Like ripe spirit fruit, with thin skin wrapped around plump flesh, waiting for teeth to sink in, bursting with thick juice between the lips and teeth.
The fragrance of sweetness filled the air.
“Tang Miao, what happened? Tell me everything,” Song Pianxian’s solemn inquiry woke up Yu Yi.
Yu Yi regained her senses and found that her lips were only a hair’s breadth away from Song Pianxian’s neck.
This beauty’s skin was too pale, and Yu Yi could even faintly see strange red lines flowing through Song Pianxian’s organs and limbs, permeating every part of her body.
All her own blood, Yu Yi’s body trembled slightly.
She had felt this before, at the moment when Song Pianxian looked at her when she was dragged into Manzhi’s cave by the mysterious leopard. The expression on Song Pianxian’s face was enough to show her feelings for her.
At that moment, every drop of blood and every piece of flesh in Yu Yi’s body was murmuring, singing, shouting, and cheering.
It was excitement, extreme excitement.
Just like now.
“Yu Yi?”
Yu Yi said she was holding her too tightly, and Song Pianxian had already loosened her embrace, but feeling the girl trembling in her arms, she couldn’t help but tighten the embrace again.
“You’ve come out of the secret realm already, I’ll be with you, don’t be afraid.”
Song Pianxian’s gentle words were in her ear, and Yu Yi leaned her head against her, rubbing her temples against her, her voice low.
“I’m not afraid, Pianxian, you can rest assured.”
Song Pianxian first took them back to Daiyuan Peak and let Yu Yi settle down in the cave to rest.
After three days outside, Yu Yi must be tired.
She covered Yu Yi with a quilt up to her chin, watching Yu Yi obediently lying inside, with only her fluffy little head exposed, couldn’t help but smile, and combed her hair for her.
Wherever she combed, Yu Yi’s gaze would follow, but she couldn’t quite catch it, looking agile and cute.
Song Pianxian’s smile widened a bit. When she saw that Yu Yi was about to notice, she quietly put it away and then said gently:
“Have a good sleep?”
Yu Yi rubbed her eyes, yawned slightly, nodded, and curled up in the quilt, blinking.
“When I wake up, I want to eat something.”
“Okay.”
These days, Yu Yi should have been eating the food in the storage bracelet, enough to fill her stomach, but the taste is inevitably not good, Song Pianxian couldn’t ignore it.
She pinched a sound transmission talisman to let the demon spirit prepare, and she went to meet Tang Miao who was still waiting outside.
At this moment, Song Pianxian had put away her smile. Even without deliberate pressure, she was enough to make Tang Miao cautious and focused.
“Senior Sister Song, Yu Yi and I entered a senior’s cave together. We should have passed many tests with Senior Sister Yu, and finally each obtained a treasure…”
Tang Miao’s tone was somewhat puzzled and uncertain: “Then I found myself outside the Secret Realm, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you, Senior Sister, and Senior Sister Yu Yi.”
The remaining half sentence “the two of you were hugging each other” was swallowed by Tang Miao. He always felt it was a bit strange to say it out loud.
Song Pianxian remained silent in contemplation.
Tang Miao hurriedly presented the Chenhuo Guanghua Bell he had obtained to Senior Sister for inspection.
Song Pianxian took it over and looked at it carefully in her hand.
Tang Miao said with joy, “This is a top-grade earth-level magic weapon. That senior was indeed generous.”
The requirements for the Heavenly Grade are too high for the user, but the Earth Grade is more lenient.
Although Tang Miao is currently only in the Golden Core stage, this is a defensive magic weapon that does not require him to expend too much spiritual power. If he encounters danger, he can use it to save his life with great effort. In the future, when his cultivation level is higher, he can use it more freely and exert greater effectiveness.
With Tang Miao’s physique, he needs this magic weapon.
He used to go to the secret realm, and it was lucky to survive, let alone this time, not only was he safe, but he actually gained benefits, as if he had escaped his previous bad luck.
The more Tang Miao thought about it, the more excited he became, unable to help but say, “The senior not only was generous but also thoughtful to the extreme.”
Song Pianxian looked at the Chenhuo Guanghua Bell in her hand, feeling the same root and origin of breath on it as herself, and raised an eyebrow.
This bell—
Was refined by Qiong Ling.
After Yu Yi woke up, Song Pianxian indeed prepared delicious food for her, including the spirit fruits she loved, all readily available.
Yu Yi didn’t have much appetite, or rather, she naturally had a poor appetite. But seeing her requests perfectly executed by Song Pianxian, who also accompanied her during meals, Yu Yi rarely had a big appetite and ate a full bowl of rice.
After she finished eating, Song Pianxian handed her the peeled spirit fruits. Yu Yi, feeling full, pushed the fruits back:
“You have them.”
But Song Pianxian placed the fruits aside and asked about the matters inside the Secret Realm.
When Yu Yi heard Song Pianxian mention the Chenhuo Guanghua Bell, she timely fluttered her eyelashes.
Then Yu Yi’s gaze drifted elsewhere, deliberately avoiding looking at Song Pianxian. She heard Song Pianxian pause before continuing:
“This artifact…”
Yu Yi bit her lip and interjected, “This bell, I gave it to him.”
“Why?”
“That white-bearded senior only gave me things, and Junior Brother Pingbai escorted me for nothing. How can I enjoy this alone? Considering his sacrifice for me earlier, I should give him a gift.”
“So, when he woke up, I told him that this was left by the senior for him, one for him, one for me.”
After Yu Yi finished speaking, she didn’t immediately get a response from Song Pianxian.
After a moment of thought, Song Pianxian asked, “By the way, how is Senior Brother Hang now?”
Yu Yi expressed her sorrow in her words, “How could he treat me like that? These past three days, I keep replaying that scene in my mind, and I just can’t understand.”
Shortly after she said this, she finally heard Song Pianxian’s voice:
“He made a mistake, so he should accept punishment; you don’t need to worry about this.”
Yu Yi hesitated to speak but ultimately nodded obediently.
The previously unresolved topic was abruptly interrupted by this remark, as if there was no need to continue.
“What did you get?”
Yu Yi lowered her eyes, feeling the tiny mustard seed ring inside the storage bracelet. She avoided it and took out a jade token, handing it to Song Pianxian with a radiant expression.
“I was just about to tell you.”
“The senior said that by taking the Condensing Meridian Dew Pill, my meridians can be rebuilt, allowing me to return to the path of immortality.”
In the entire cultivation world, any medicine that could have even a slight repairing effect on the meridians was regarded as heavenly grade, and rebuilding the meridians was unheard of. The shocking nature of this news could be imagined, and Yu Yi had never expected that someone claiming to be the Demon Queen Manzhi would be able to offer her such a thing.
But when she mentioned this to Song Pianxian, Song Pianxian’s expression was quite subtle. She raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is that so?”
Then, Song Pianxian examined the jade token, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, “It should be okay, it’s worth a try.”
Yu Yi stared at her without blinking.
It seemed that her puppet knew quite a bit about how to cure herself.
She had suspected this before, but now she was more certain.
Afterward, Song Pianxian was called away for something, and Yu Yi found a swing tied to an old pear tree to sit on. She leaned against the swing rope, closing her eyes.
She sank her consciousness into the mustard seed ring.
Inside the mustard seed ring was the space where Manzhi was in the small realm, a blue and white expanse.
Their relationship was only a transaction, and Yu Yi had no intention of letting her peer into her life, so she did not wear the mustard seed ring on her hand and used the storage bracelet to isolate the two worlds.
Yu Yi got straight to the point, “Where did you get this prescription?”
“The cultivation world in the past wasn’t like it is now,” Manzhi said leisurely. “Back then, there were true immortals, but later on, all the immortals disappeared from this world.”
“For immortals, what’s rebuilding a meridian? My abilities naturally came from the hands of immortals.”
Yu Yi stood there for a while.
Manzhi marveled, “Have you seen a similar prescription? This prescription is absolutely reliable. I advise you to trust me.”
Yu Yi had no choice but to agree.
— Then, what kind of identity does Song Pianxian, who knows a thing or two, have?
Yu Yi’s consciousness exited the mustard seed ring.
Qiong Ling had told her that after refining a puppet, it was just an empty shell.
It needed the master’s blood to fill its empty bones, and it also needed a spiritual body to preside over the spiritual mansion. Otherwise, even if the puppet could come to life, it would be like an ignorant newborn baby.
Qiong Ling said she couldn’t see more, but she was sure that the summoned soul was not from the cultivation world, but from another temporal domain, perhaps even a remnant soul.
Three souls were present, but seven spirits were incomplete.
Yu Yi tiptoed, gently swinging the swing, her clothes fluttering.
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire.
How many did Song Pianxian occupy?
She—
Did she have desire?
