Chapter 156: Senior Sister, Don’t Be Like This [Ask for a monthly ticket! ]
When Liang Yue woke up, he found himself lying in the cabin of a ship, wearing a dry coarse linen shirt.
"Ah..." When he stood up, he felt a sharp pain in his back and a dizziness in his mind. He couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Lord Liang, you're awake!" A surprised voice sounded beside him.
He turned around and saw the village chief he had met before, standing at the bow of the boat rolling up the fishing net. He heard the sound and came over. When he saw that he was awake, his face was full of smiles.
Liang Yue then remembered that he and Senior Sister Wen had experienced a life-and-death battle, in which they eliminated the Nine-Yarn Spy Yulijiang, and then fell into the river and was chased by his protector, the Fierce Wind Monkey.
Even when his energy and blood were exhausted, he used the Phoenix Feather on his back to complete a counterattack.
However, because the point where the Phoenix Feather exploded was too close to him, he was blown away and fainted. After that, he didn't know where he was washed away by the water.
"Senior Sister Wen." Thinking of this, Liang Yue immediately stood up.
"Hey, you mean the lady Wen who looks like a fairy?" The village chief laughed twice more. "My wife also changed her into clean clothes. She is resting in the back cabin. But she seems to have woken up earlier than you. She just came to see you."
"That's good."
Liang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Senior Sister Wen was fine.
But she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She was attacked by the Seven Emotions Curse planted in the Yulijiang Temple. She didn't know if it would be serious.
Worried, he stood up and prepared to go over to check.
The fishing boat was not big. There were two cabins between the bow and stern, which were not high enough for him to stand upright. So he lowered his head, leaned out of the cabin at the bow, and looked towards the stern.
By chance, a head popped out from the cabin at the stern, with beautiful hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin, a few strands scattered behind the fair neck. The face was white and translucent, as if it had a layer of soft light, and there was a spiritual aura between the eyebrows, like flowing mountains and rivers. It was Wen Yifan.
The two of them happened to look at each other across the aisle.
Senior Sister Wen immediately smiled like a flower, "When I heard the noise, I knew you woke up."
When Liang Yue saw this smile, he was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong with you?" Wen Yifan saw Liang Yue suddenly stunned, so he crouched down and walked over from the cabin passage, somewhat worried about his condition.
She was also wearing coarse cloth and brown linen robe, but she was tall and slender, her skin was as white as jade, and her movements were still as bright as the reflection of jade.
There are really people in this world who look like fairies even when wearing a torn sack.
"I'm fine." Liang Yue quickly replied, and then asked, "Senior Sister Wen, are you okay?"
The reason why he was stunned for a moment was that he had known Wen Yifan for such a long time, but had never seen her smile like this before?
In the past, she had always been like a frost sculpture, and she always had a faint expression. In fact, her slight expression was probably just out of politeness.
Most of the time, the Supreme Immortal Body should not have any emotional fluctuations.
Inside the cabin, Liang Yue was sitting on the ground with his hands supporting himself, while Wen Yifan came over and squatted in front of him. He looked him up and down carefully with a pair of eyes like a spring lake, staring at Liang Yue fiercely.
Liang Yue's face turned red when she looked at him, and he asked, "Senior Sister Wen, what are you doing?"
"I was afraid that you had used some magical power to overdraw your lifespan, but it looks like... nothing serious happened?" Wen Yifan was relieved after seeing this and breathed a sigh of relief, "When you went to deal with Yulijiang before, your cultivation was so strong that I thought there was some price to pay."
Normally, if one's cultivation level explodes to a level exceeding one major realm, one will definitely have to pay a price.
But this is the power of the Nine Secret Book. Even if it is just one of the seals, it is still powerful and has no side effects.
"I have nothing to worry about. They are just external injuries." Liang Yue chuckled. "You were hit by the Seven Emotions Curse hidden in his palace before. Didn't he say that he would..."
"Will I die?" Wen Yifan smiled again, "I was dizzy for a while when I was cursed, but after waking up on the boat, I felt fine. I guess it has something to do with my Supreme Immortal Body."
"The Seven Emotions Curse can magnify a person's emotions thousands of times. Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire. The production of the seven emotions of a person is laborious. Once they are stimulated and magnified, even the slightest emotion may overwhelm the five internal organs and shatter the soul."
"But I was born with a supreme immortal body, which is emotionless and asexual, and I rarely have emotional fluctuations. His Seven Emotions Curse has no effect on me."
After Wen Yifan finished speaking, he walked forward to the bow, stood up straight, facing the sunset, with a relaxed look on his face.
"I just feel that my cultivation has been depleted a lot, as if it has fallen. I don't know when I can make it back. Other than that, there is nothing else."
Looking at her smile, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Is there really no impact?
Perhaps she herself did not notice it so easily, but to outsiders, Senior Sister Wen at this moment was like a completely different person.
Even Liang Yue wasn't sure, was she really still herself?
……
Later, after chatting with the village chief, I learned that they were on their way back from fishing. They saw two vague figures in the river, so they fished them out. They found out that they were their saviors, so they took good care of them for a long time.
If they hadn't met them, Liang Yue and the others really didn't know where they would drift to.
Thinking about it this way, it can be said that good deeds will bring good results.
If the people from Shengyu Village had not been rescued, there might not be this ship today, and those two people would not have been rescued.
After expressing their gratitude profusely, the two asked the fishing boat to take them back to the ferry.
Wu Xiaoqi was still unconscious on the rocky beach, and no one had discovered him. His cultivation was too low, and Senior Sister Wen could make him faint for so long with just a finger. When the spirit realm descended earlier, Jiuwazi, as a mortal, fainted in an instant. However, he fainted on the roadside above, and should have been seen by the villagers and sent home.
The two of them woke up Wu Xiaoqi first.
"Hmm?" As soon as he woke up, he immediately stood up and asked, "Is there an enemy attack?"
"That happened several hours ago." Liang Yue patted his shoulder, "Relax."
"Oh..." Wu Xiaoqi rubbed his neck and said, "Have the two immortal officials dealt with the enemy?"
"That's right." Liang Yue nodded and said, "The one who came is the mystic we were looking for before. He has been killed."
"What?" Wu Xiaoqi was shocked. "Didn't Mr. Chen say that he was a sixth-level mystic, and you two killed him?"
Wen Yifan pursed his lips towards Liang Yue and said, "It's all his credit."
The corners of Liang Yue's mouth slightly raised, but he quickly suppressed it and said, "It's the result of my cooperation with my senior sister. Alas, it's a pity that we didn't capture him alive."
"That man must be ranked high among the Nine Spies." Wu Xiaoqi suddenly became excited. "If we kill him in Liangjiang Prefecture, I will also have a share of the credit!"
"Of course." Wen Yifan smiled and said, "If you hadn't noticed and recognized him, we wouldn't have come here at all."
"Hehe." Wu Xiaoqi said gratefully: "This way I may be transferred back to the capital, all thanks to you two brave men."
Liang Yue asked again: "He said his code name is Yulijiang, have you heard of it?"
"Yulijiang?" Wu Xiaoqi thought for a moment after hearing this, and said, "There is no such code name in our intelligence network, but with his strength as a sixth-level mystic and the things he did in the Divine Capital before, this person is very likely one of the Twelve Generals under the Peak."
"The Twelve Generals at the Foot of the Peak?" Liang Yue had never heard of this name.
Wen Yifan explained to him: "Among the Jiuyang spies, the top one is codenamed 'Illusionary God Peak', which represents the holy land of Jiuyang. Below the Illusionary God Peak, there are twelve highest-ranking spies, each in charge of a region. All spies below the twelve generals are in single-line contact, and none of them know each other's identities. The twelve generals under the peak all have strange whereabouts and their identities are a mystery. We have only killed one in the past two and a half years, and we saw another one but didn't keep him."
"No wonder he left such an arrangement in his own temple. Jiuyang would never allow such a person to be captured alive." Liang Yue said after hearing this.
"Yes." Wen Yifan raised his head, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. "It's because my cultivation is not good enough. If I could have discovered his back-up plan earlier and found another way to deal with it, maybe..."
"Sister Wen, it's wrong to think like that." Liang Yue interrupted her and said with a smile: "How can everything in the world be under our control? Let's not talk about us, let's talk about Master Zhang Xuan, how can he calculate everything?"
Hearing him say this, Wen Yifan turned his head and smiled again, looking into the distance, and said: "Now I can't fly back to the capital on my sword, we have to find a carriage."
"Just leave it to me." Wu Xiaoqi said, patting his chest.
He walked to a high place in front and blew a whistle. Soon, a magical bird came. He wrote a note and took it out, then shouted, "Wait a moment, the carriage will be here soon."
Liang Yue looked up and watched the bird fly away.
Unaware of the rustling sound in the bushes beside him, Wen Yifan suddenly screamed and jumped behind him, "Ah!"
"What's wrong?" Liang Yue immediately looked over.
"There...there is a snake." Wen Yifan pointed to a corner of the grass.
There are many snakes near the water, and there was indeed a colorful little snake with black and red stripes in the grass, about an arm's length and very thin, lying there.
Liang Yue used his right hand to summon the sword without leaving a name, and with a flick of the sword tip, he threw the snake far away.
Wen Yifan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Yue was not afraid of snakes, but he still looked very nervous at the moment, and whispered: "Senior Sister, don't be like this."
"What's wrong?" Wen Yifan stared at the snake and asked in a trembling voice.
"I..." Liang Yue glanced at his hands, "I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
It turned out that Wen Yifan was so frightened just now that he subconsciously grabbed Liang Yue's hand with his right hand, and was still holding it tightly.
"Ah." She realized this only after Liang Yue reminded her. She quickly let go of her hand, turned her back, and her face turned red instantly.
After taking a few steps forward, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I... I don't know what happened. Maybe the Seven Emotions Curse did have some effect on me..."
"It's okay." Liang Yue looked at his left hand and felt a little warm belatedly. He paused and whispered, "It's fine."
After Wu Xiaoqi delivered the letter, he turned around and was about to shout again when he suddenly saw this scene.
The sun sets in the west, and the path along the river is filled with rosy clouds.
The handsome young man stood there, looking at his palm with a silly smile on his face. The beautiful girl had her back to him, with her long hair tied up, her head lowered and her lips pursed, and she said nothing.
I don’t know if it was because of the sunset, but both of their faces were very red.
"I don't know why..." Wu Xiaoqi scratched his head and said to himself in confusion: "I suddenly feel a little redundant?"
Good morning.
