Double world undercurrent

Chapter 53 Chapter 53
The light in Leng Yi's eyes flickered invisibly when the words came out of her mouth, cold and deep like a fire, charming and dangerous.

In the darkness with few stars, a soul-soaked coldness wrapped her tightly, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"It's... so cold..."

Gu Xiaoxing's whole body was so cold that it ached, and he hugged himself tremblingly.It is obvious that it is only the soul that has left its body, but the chill that seeps into the skin and pierces the bone marrow is so vivid and real.

"Cold? Xin'er... This is the temperature you gave me when you sealed me back then..."

A sharp knife-like light and shadow flashed across Leng Yi's eyes, and a trace of heartache-like joy floated on his face.

His tall nose bridge, delicately contoured face, and elegant and slender figure under the purple-breasted phantom robe, reflected in the faintly scattered hazy soft light, made him look extraordinarily aloof.

"Am I in... the seal of the Monument of Divine Power?!"

Gu Xiaoxing's hanging heart tightened even more. She looked around and found that she was bound by invisible chains, trapped in this endless darkness, unable to move.

"That's right...to be exact..."

Leng Yi is close at hand, but the icy voice is ethereal as if floating from afar:
"Your soul was sealed in...soul and flesh separated..."

His eyes gradually showed a bit of playfulness.

Gu Xiaoxing was about to be frozen into ice cubes, but it looked like it was not as cold as she felt... She found that the chill came from the depths of her soul, not the surface of her body.

"You let the candle flames set up an array to seal me, maybe it's just to get revenge on me..."

She said it as calmly as possible, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Leng Yi stared at her deeply:
"You know what I want...Xin'er."

Gu Xiaoxing seemed to have knocked over a five-flavored bottle, and all kinds of negative emotions overwhelmed his heart:

"In order to break the seal, you really... use all sorts of tricks."

"You're angry?"

Leng Yi's eyes were slightly bright, and he tilted his head slightly and smiled charmingly:
"I thought...you would like such excitement..."

Gu Xiaoxing looked at him vigilantly, realizing that she was about to confront him again, she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Don't think that if you do this, I will cooperate with you to break the seal."

She said firmly, and tried to move her hands and feet, but found that as a soul, she couldn't get rid of the invisible shackles.

The biting chill was like rolling waves, coming wave after wave.She didn't know that the lowest temperature here was thousands of times colder than what she felt now.

I don't know how Leng Yi adapts here.

"Xin'er, if you don't break the seal...you can only stay here with me."

Leng Yi's provocative tone contained threats:
"Although you are just a ray of soul that has come out of your body, I can still do many things to you...almost..."

He suddenly appeared behind her, lowered his head and approached her right ear coldly, and said softly:

"...I can do anything to you."

Gu Xiaoxing felt inexplicably terrified.

She heard Leng Yi chuckle darkly.

"First... I want to..."

"do not!"

Her loose hair was gently brushed away by him with miasma, and immediately, a strand of ice-like touch moved up from the side of her neck, tickling, and slid onto the skin behind her ears, suddenly, behind her ears A piercing pain!
She gasped in shock and gasped in pain!The severe pain quickly penetrated into the blood vessels, spread and took root, and then went straight up to the top of her head horizontally, beginning to invade her consciousness.

"The awakening valve of your spiritual power...here..."

Leng Yi's voice rang in her ears, and she could even feel his excited hot air on her pink neck:
"So sensitive..."

Gu Xiaoxing frowned deeply and closed her eyes tightly, her trembling long eyelashes were a little wet, she bit her lips tightly, her cheeks were blushing, she struggled to endure the pain so that she could not make a sound, but she couldn't help moaning and panting more violently.

"Is it unbearable at this level?"

Leng Yi seemed obsessed with her reaction, he bent his fingertips slightly, and penetrated deeper into the miasma that had invaded her skin.

The annoying confusion exploded into her consciousness, her headache was about to split, and she almost uttered a voice between her clenched teeth:
"How could you... treat me like this..."

She heard Leng Yi chuckle strangely in her ear.

Caught off guard, the consciousness in her head began to drift, and the familiar blurred picture squeezed into her mind again.

This time, contrary to the past, it was the awakening of spiritual power that led to the resurgence of memories, and she felt as if one end of her consciousness was being held in Leng Yi's palm, being forcefully led by him to those gradually clear pictures...

She didn't care to think about why he was able to move while she was restrained in the seal.At this time, the entire space made rumbling vibrations...

Gu Xiaoxing tried her best to concentrate her fighting spirit to resist tenaciously, but she couldn't control her consciousness. As a ray of soul, she found that all her strength had been weakened!

"Xin'er... I forgot to tell you..."

Leng Yi seemed to have obtained the ultimate pleasure from her pain, whispered coldly, and vented his hatred:
"...Your soul and flesh are separated, and the jade bracelet will not be able to protect you..."

"don't want……"

He opened her collar, revealing her delicate white shoulders and neck.The icy touch moistened his scorching breath, gently stroking her skin, slowly sliding from the thin collarbone to the side of the shoulder... She felt the miasma seeping into her shoulder bone...

"I won't... let you succeed..."

"Is it?"

The fingertips connected to the miasma and pulled violently, he "teared" her consciousness out of the soul, and indulged in her heart-piercing screams!
The sourness in my heart has never been felt before, joyful and tingling, bursting into bloody, cathartic wounds:
"You can't stop me...Xin'er..."

He hooked her chin with the miasma, forced her to turn her cheeks, gently wiped away the teardrops from the corners of her sore eyes, and whispered to her tenderly, but the corners of his mouth were condensed with cruel frost like a sharp blade:

"It's time to look back on the past again, are you resisting or looking forward..."

He "threw" her consciousness into the memory vortex to mix her awakening spiritual power and speed up breaking the seal.

The severe tearing pain gradually eased, and the increasingly intense rumbling sound in the seal also disappeared. Gu Xiaoxing struggled weakly, and under Leng Yi's continuous control, he was randomly involved in a long-term picture in his mind.

In the picture, the sky is gray, and the cold wind is blowing on the courtyard corridor of the magic palace.

There is still a sense of reality, but she is powerless to fight back. Returning to Leng Xin's perspective, she is driven by an invisible force to immerse herself in it.

She was standing in the middle of the long corridor at this time, smoothing her messy long hair nervously, and looked down at the two bouquets of Xiyou flowers in her hand, then turned around and handed the flowers to Leng, who was about to return to the barracks and was ready to go. Brother Yi:

"Brother... you can bring this bundle to General Ming..."

She pointed to one of them, tied with a plain silk ribbon, and the one with a message hidden in the petals, her vermilion lips were slightly pursed, she was ashamed to speak, her pink cheeks were flushed as she drooped her eyes, and she was so charming.

"Xin'er, why do you still... miss him?"

Leng Yi in front of him frowned, concentrating, as if he felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother... I... I just can't let him go... Besides, when I think of you all on the dangerous frontier battlefield... I can't sleep or eat..."

She bit her lips, rubbed her fingers, and her shy voice was as thin as a mosquito:

"I worry about him as much as I worry about you..."

The expression on Leng Yi's face was a little frozen.

"Brother, please, can you bring this flower to him for me?"

Her watery almond eyes were full of requests.

"Xin'er, what's so good about him... As for you doing this for him?"

"This... this kind of thing... I can't tell... Maybe it's because of the eyes... He's a bit like you brother... Maybe it's because..."

Her eyes flickered, and she looked even more shy:
"...Brother, don't ask me if I'm so careful?"

Leng Yi's eyes glowed with depth:

"Xin'er, I can do anything else according to you, except this one."

"why?"

He paused for a moment, then opened his mouth heavily:
"The battle is not over yet, not to mention, the future is full of variables...you are so irrational now."

"But I already like him!"

Regardless, she blurted out.The wind blowing in the corridor was bitingly cool.

"Xin'er...you can bury this love in your heart..."

Leng Yi's eyes shine like the wind caught in him.

She paused, and said from the bottom of her heart:

"Brother... It's just a seed buried in my heart... It has taken root and sprouted on its own... The more I ignore it, the more it grows... Do you understand this feeling?"

Leng Yi's expression was a little strange, and the eyes staring at her were deep and elusive:

"Of course I understand...Xin'er."

With her clear eyes flashing suddenly, she pulled up his sleeve and begged:
"Brother... just promise me and bring it to General Ming, okay... I can't feel at ease until the war is over... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that one day, I will regret not showing my heart to him... ..."

When Leng Yi saw her like this, the Xiyou flower in her hand was almost wilting.

"Brother... just help me this time... My Xiyouhua can not only convey words, but also reveal his heart... If it's just my wishful thinking, I'll let it go..."

"...What if it's not? Do I still want to watch you sink deeper and deeper?"

She froze for a moment:
"Brother, don't you like him too? If... If he is interested in me..."

She brushed her gray hair on her temples, nodded and her shy eyes almost dripped out:

"I have my own measure."

Leng Yi was full of reluctance and helplessness in his heart. He stared at the two bouquets of Xi You flowers in his hand, hesitated, and fell into deep thought.

In the fierce ideological struggle, he struggled and remained silent for a while.

"Okay... I promise..."

On her face like the morning glow reflecting the snow, the most innocent and brightest smile bloomed, which penetrated deeply into his heart.

"...Only this time."

"alright."

The surroundings began to turn, and the picture suddenly faded away from sight, but soon, almost seamlessly, another dusty memory randomly cut into her mind, and she seemed to be jumping through some scattered fragments.

"Brother, it's a good thing that the Wu Clan made peace with us! This war has been fought for so many years, and now it's finally coming to an end!"

In the picture, the heavy door is closed tightly, and the guards and servants are ordered to stay five feet away from the door.She put down the secret document in her hand, and the hanging stone in her heart hadn't landed for a long time.

Leng Yi was filled with resentment, Yushu paced in front of the glass screen:

"The Witch Clan is now few in number and will collapse at the first touch, and we are in full swing. We could have fought back against the real world in one go. Seeing that they couldn't afford it, they licked their faces and begged us for peace... I really didn't expect, father The king actually agreed!!"

"Brother, this battle has been fought for more than 800 years. The Wu Clan can't afford it, and we can't afford it either. The world is so big now, and the other world is already poor in resources..."

She tried to persuade him, but he was full of ambition:

"... Because of this, we should pursue a wider world, shouldn't we? We could have taken advantage of the victory to attack and invade the city of this world. As long as we occupy the resources of the city step by step, it is enough to maintain our long-term combat power...but father... Too conservative!"

Seeing Leng Yi's rare agitation, she folded her fingers and made a seal on the table to conjure up a newly-created Qinruocao to release a calming breath and ease his emotions.

"Brother, instead of relying on continuously depleted force to plunder resources, wouldn't it be better for us to take this opportunity to seek peace and ask them for a long-term resource tribute, or to offer some other terms of exchange?"

"It's good...but it's not necessarily a long-term solution, Xin'er..."

When the light in Leng Yizhuo's eyes turned to her, it was soft:

"You don't understand the Wu Clan. They are hypocritical, cunning and restless. In order to maintain their rule over the present world, they control the spiritual world of mortals, every word and deed, and call it 'protecting mortals'..."

He sneered at this, and continued:
"The stability of the mortal world is related to their ruling interests, but the mortal spirit is our best tonic and our most scarce resource... How can they feel at ease in a big foreign world..."

"But we don't have to eat people, it's not an indispensable thing for us, we can agree through a contract..."

"...Xin'er, for us, mortal spirit is like a panacea, if your concubine..."

Leng Yi stopped suddenly, he had no intention of mentioning her concubine mother who was dying of illness, seeing her eyes dimming instantly, he felt a twinge in his heart:
"Forget it, let's not talk about it..."

He tried to change the subject, wanting to gently appease her emotions, when he saw her get up, she moved lightly to the right window:
"Xin'er..."

"Ok?"

"A few new plants have been added to your Xiyou Palace recently..."

His gaze inadvertently landed on the Shuiqin jade pendant on her waist, the paired carved patterns looked very familiar, his voice suddenly stuck in his throat, his gaze was fixed, and his heart was filled with panic.

Sudden silence.

She looked at him suspiciously, followed his gaze, and stared at the jade pendant around her waist.

"Brother...do you recognize this? Oh...no wonder, you must have seen General Ming wear it..."

Her face was flushed, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of sweetness and shyness, but when she saw Leng Yi's reaction, for some reason, her heart beat a small drum inexplicably.

"When did he give it to you?"

Leng Yi's tone was calm and cold.

"Just this morning, General Ming specially entrusted someone to bring me as a gift from Xiyou Palace..."

She smiled shyly with her pink face and peach cheeks.

"This is his personal jade pendant...Xin'er, did he say anything after sending you off?"

Leng Yi asked in an almost muffled voice.

"He said...he said...this is our...token of love."

Leng Yi shook hands involuntarily...

The memory picture faded away again, Gu Xiaoxing's soul lost control of consciousness, immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, so he could only be forced to transition to one memory fragment after another.

At this time, the chaotic space in the seal vibrated more and more violently with the deafening sound. In the distance, in the underground movement at the southern foot of Chilian Mountain, Gu Xiaoxing's body remained motionless, like a wounded shell...
