Chapter 543 - Brother, White And Black
The cave where Mo Chi Ling lived was located near the Heavenly Demon Sect. It did not look big from the outside, but once you went inside, you could see that she hollowed out the inside of a mountain, used jade pillars to support the mountain above, and built dozens of pavilions and streets connecting them below.
To prevent it from being discovered by the Heavenly Demon Sect, she couldn't open a hole in the sky to let the moonlight in.
So Mo Chi Ling simply found a night-shining pearl that was bigger than a human and hung it on the ceiling to act as the moon, using the cold white light of the pearl to illuminate every inch of the cave.
Clank Clank—
Mo Chi Ling, who was pushed in a wheelchair by Ye Anping, had been proudly introducing her amazing cave to him since he came in. "Mr. Ye, this place is only a few hundred miles away from the Heavenly Demon Sect. It took me hundreds of years to build it. The various alchemy furnaces and Spirit Gathering Arrays inside are made of the best materials in the Eastern Region! The pills stored in the alchemy room at the back are enough to supply three thousand cultivators to rest here for ten years."
Ye Anping nodded expressionlessly. "Oh… is that so."
"Uh..."
Mo Chi Ling was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a large pavilion that was slightly higher on the side, explaining it. "There are three hundred rare demonic beasts that I collected from all over the Eastern Region… If you like them, you could pick a few and bring them back to the Hundred Lotus Sect to raise them, hmm? "
"The beasts from the Eastern Region will not be able to adapt to the climate and soil in the Western Region, and they will not be able to grow well."
"Ah... yes, then..."
Mo Chi Ling pursed her lips awkwardly and saw a large area of spiritual fields passing by. "The soil used in these spiritual fields is collected from Heaven's Mountain in the north of the Eastern Region. The spiritual plants that usually take three years to mature only need half a year if planted here..."
Ye Anping looked in the direction she was pointing with a nod. "Yes, I know. The black soil of the Heaven's Mountain Range."
"..."
Mo Chi Ling saw Ye Anping so calm and suddenly pouted in disappointment.
She originally thought that Ye Anping would be very surprised by her cave, but it seemed he knew that she had such a cave next to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
You know, this place was only a few hundred miles away from Heavenly Demon Sect.
Building a cave here was equivalent to digging and filling a mountain under the eyes of Yu Yan without being discovered.
She racked her brains to build this cave, and it took her more than four hundred years to hollow out a mountain and build a cave here without the Heavenly Demon Sect noticing.
Why didn't he praise her great achievements...
Mo Chi Ling glanced at Ye Anping with dissatisfaction again.
Ye Anping looked at her with helplessness, then simply praised her expressionlessly.
"Senior Mo is really amazing. You have built such a cave right under Yu Yan's nose. I really admire you."
"..."
Mo Chi Ling sighed. "Sigh-- is there nothing in this world that can shock you, Mr. Ye?"
"There is."
"Hmph."
Mo Chiling turned her head, seeming angry.
Ye Anping was somewhat helpless. Not to mention this cave, he knew the locations of all the two hundred and seven caves that Mo Chi Ling had built in the Eastern Region.
After Mo Chi Ling successfully escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect, she established the Heartbreak Palace under a pseudonym and also planted spies in various sects in the Eastern Region. She extended the power of the Heartbreak Palace to almost all places in the Eastern Region without anyone noticing.
"Senior Mo, after Yu Yan dies, do you want to come with me to the Hundred Lotus Sect?"
Mo Chi Ling was stunned hearing this question, and she asked back, "Eh? Is this an invitation?"
"It is an invitation, but it is not just that..."
Ye Anping shook his head slightly before looking at the purple vines and willows blooming on both sides of the road.
The willow catkins floated lightly, and under the brilliance of the night pearl in the sky, they were covered with a layer of purple spiritual power.
He hinted, "Although the purple spirit willow is indeed beautiful, its branches and leaves will produce poisonous blood after entering the water."
As he said this, Ye Anping lowered his head again and looked at the bandages that covered Mo Chi Ling's body.
Others might not have known, but that didn't mean he didn't.
The reason why Mo Chi Ling was wrapped in these bandages was that she had been bathing in the water with these purple spirit willows for many years, so she had no skin on her body, and her internal organs had long been corroded by the toxicity of the purple spirit willows.
As for why she did this?
This was a method she came up with to deal with Yu Yan.
The blood pool in the forbidden area behind the Heavenly Demon Sect was the source of Yu Yan's Void Returning spirit.
That blood pool was the flesh and blood of all of Yu Yan's direct disciples in the past ten thousand years, and Mo Chi Ling would have become a member of that blood pool.
But when her brother found out, he saved her, and he was thrown into the blood pool by Yu Yan in her place and turned into blood water.
What Mo Chi Ling wanted to do was nothing more than to reunite with her brother.
The poisonous blood in her body was a 'gift' to Yu Yan.
A little bit of purple spirit willow might be harmless to Yu Yan, but a person who imbued herself in medicinal baths for hundreds of years and concentrated several tons of poisonous blood, once she went into that blood pool, even a Void Returning cultivator like Yu Yan would be poisoned and bleed from all seven orifices.
Furthermore, it was his spiritual root that would become infected with poisoned blood.
Mo Chi Ling was not surprised to see that Ye Anping recognized the purple spirit willow. After a moment of silence, she asked, "So, Mr. Ye, you knew what I wanted to do?"
Smiling, Ye Anping replied, "After all, I even know what color your underwear is. How could I not know your thoughts?"
?
Mo Chi Ling turned her head to look at Ye Anping, feeling that beneath his bright and beautiful face, a perverse nature was hidden. She frowned and asked again, "So, what do you want to say, Mr. Ye?"
In the game, Mo Chi Ling did jump into the blood pool after Feng Yu Die broke the restriction, and she completely destroyed it with her poisonous blood.
This gave Si Xuanji the opportunity to destroy Yu Yan's body and soul in one fell swoop.
But to be honest, Mo Chi Ling didn't need to jump in entirely. A finger or an arm would be enough for Si Xuanji to seize the opportunity to destroy Yu Yan.
Mo Chi Ling should know this.
In the game, she chose to trade her life for Yu Yan. Although it was not pointed out in the plot, Ye Anping could roughly guess the reason.
For so many years, revenge for her brother had been Mo Chi Ling's only purpose.
Because of this purpose, after she escaped from the Heavenly Demon Sect, she did not break down due to the betrayal of her master and the death of her brother. Instead, she regrouped and established the Heartbreak Palace, preparing for nearly a thousand years, just to kill a Void Returning cultivator with her Nascent Soul cultivation.
At the end of the game, her wish was fulfilled and she was tired...
Ye Anping thought about this and pondered for a while. "Senior Mo, I just want to say that Sister Gu needs a friend."
"..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Hearing this, Mo Chi Ling slightly raised her eyebrows, then she lowered her eyes and nodded gently. "Well... I will keep in mind what you said."
"The choice is yours to make."
Ye Anping shrugged and in a gentle tone, he added, "Whether to accompany Sister Gu in the future in the Hundred Lotus Sect or go after your brother after Yu Yan's death... It's not wrong. Just that, from my point of view, I would rather you choose the former-- Sister Gu needs a friend to talk to."
Mo Chi Ling glanced at Ye Anping, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then Mr. Ye, what color are my underwear today?"
?
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment, but he replied, "Black."
"Hee..."
Mo Chi Ling covered her mouth and chuckled. Finally, there was something Ye Anping didn't know.
She used to only wear black panties, but since Ye Anping guessed their color last time, she immediately asked her maids to buy her panties of various other colors.
She was just waiting to see Ye Anping next time and let him guess.
"Today it's pink. There are also things that Mr. Ye doesn't know."
Ye Anping froze and retorted, not wanting to admit defeat. "...I didn't say I knew everything."
"But don't you have the Heavenly Dao Scroll?"
"Did I say I did?"
"If you don't have it, how did you find me with Sister Gu?"
"Even if I had it, the Heavenly Dao Scroll shouldn't record the color of Senior Mo's panties."
Mo Chi Ling narrowed her eyes and smiled. Seeing that they had arrived, she pointed to a rather gorgeous pavilion on the side. "We are here. While waiting for the Black Star Sect, you can rest here with peace of mind. There are two pools with water and wood spiritual energy behind this place. I sent people to dig them from other places some time ago, especially for you."
"Thank you for your trouble."
"Then, I will go back to my bedroom. It is on the tallest tower in front. If you need anything, you can go there to find me."
"Okay..."
Mo Chi Ling nodded and then rolled the wheelchair to her bedroom.
… …
Clank clank clank…
Behind his bedroom, the spiritual wood spring was steaming, and the water surface was covered with a layer of white mist with the fragrance of plants and trees.
Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin, who came in earlier, soaked in it after being led here and used this spiritual spring water to wash away the dust from the journey.
At this moment, Feng Yu Die was immersed in the pool up to her nose. Her golden eyes were wide open as she stared intently at the two slightly floating white moons on Gu Mingxin's chest, who was lazily leaning against the pool, soaking in the water.
Gu Mingxin looked at the big golden eyes staring at her for a long time, and she sneered. "What? Are you envious?"
"Envious of what? Young Master Ye likes them smaller."
"I wasn't talking about the size." Gu Mingxin held up her two moons and raised them to the water's surface. "Ye Anping rubbed them."
"?"
Feng Yu Die slightly frowned, and after a long pause, she asked, "When did he rub them?"
"When you were not here~"
"Humph, I don't believe it."
"Forget it if you don't believe it."
Gu Mingxin didn't say anything more as she raised her head and lay down on her back, relaxing her body.
Although she could go and kill He Buqun already, she still had to wait here for more than ten days. As Ye Anping's cultivation partner, she had to help him resolve his problem.
But…
Squeaky---
The ceiling that had been squeaking for seven days on the immortal boat was still vivid in her mind.
Gu Mingxin still found it strange. How could his sister and that little dragon accompany Ye Anping for seven days without stopping?
She remembered that previously, in Heavenly Sorrow City, she fainted countless times in just a few hours…
Could it be that she was that weak?
Impossible!
How could she be weak?!
She could accept being weaker than Ye Anping's monster-like sister; after all, that amber-eyed girl was really amazing.
But that little dragon from the Black Star Sect was actually stronger than her?
She couldn't accept that.
There must be something wrong...
Or was it because the little dragon and Ye Anping had practiced dual cultivation many times, so they were used to it?
Gu Mingxin pondered this question, then suddenly lowered her head and looked back at the white fool who was bathing in front of her. Thinking about it, she was better than this white fool, right?
Gu Mingxin immediately pursed her cat lips and let out a mischievous smile. "White fool~"
"Eh? What do you want?"
"We still have to wait here for the Black Star Sect to come, at least ten days."
"Hmm, so?"
"Ye Anping has too much yang energy, and someone has to practice with him to relieve his yang energy in the next ten days, right? Should we take turns, or go together, or should I go alone?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die shrank her neck and inadvertently choked on a mouthful of bath water.
Whoosh—
She stood up immediately, coughed twice, and looked at Gu Mingxin in confusion.
"Cough— What did you say?!!"
"Are your ears not working? You're making me repeat it… Are we going together or am I going alone?"
"..."
Whoosh—
While the two talked here, the door of the outer hall at the back was suddenly opened.
After Ye Anping entered the pavilion, he tidied up briefly before taking off his clothes and heading to the wood spiritual spring at the back, preparing to take a bath and rest.
Ye Anping was only wearing a bathrobe at this moment, holding a towel and his homemade soap in his hand, but when he pushed open the door, he saw Feng Yu Die naked, standing in the pool with her back to him. Gu Mingxin was also inside.
Ye Anping blinked, not expecting to encounter such a scene.
But to be honest, he had seen these two girls before, and now there were no ripples in his heart as he looked at them.
Although it was not a problem to simply walk in, but...
Ye Anping looked at them and finally, shifted his gaze back to Feng Yu Die. After a short hesitation, he finally pulled the door back and turned to the other side of the water element spiritual spring.
"I'll go next door."
"..." "..."
Gu Mingxin watched him close the door and leave without saying a word and pouted.
On the other hand, Feng Yu Die was a bit flustered but didn't know why. After Ye Anping closed the door, she immediately squatted down again, half of her head immersed in the water.
A blush rose rapidly on her neck, dyeing her entire face red.
Seeing her like this, Gu Mingxin said with a mocking face, "Ah-- you're still blushing? Haven't you been with Ye Anping for so many years? Humph, I'll go alone then, and I'll ask him to make you some roasted chicken, hehe~"
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle—"
