Chapter 17 This kid definitely wants to hook up with him. He refuses to be replaced by others and refuses to buy more...
The land under the cave entrance is very strange, with bones all over the ground, and there is no end in sight.
This is a separate space that does not belong to any of the three realms. Otherwise, there would not be a "sky" appearing underground, and there would not be a blood moon in the sky.
This space is filled with corpses, and the corpses here are not only human corpses, but also demons and monsters. The degree of decay of each corpse is different. Some have turned into bones, while others still have some residual rotten flesh.
This place is like a mass grave.
If I'm not mistaken, the corpses here should all be infected with corpse poison like the one that just bit him.
"…Why would lightning strike you? Was that your thunder tribulation just now?"
After seeing that thick lightning, Xi Che firmly believed in his heart that the identity of this classmate Chu Qi was not ordinary.
He must be a very powerful monster.
Why would such a powerful monster come to a human academy and pretend to be a human to study? Is the identity of the successor of the God of Light so attractive?
Of course Chu Yan couldn't tell the truth, and he didn't know how to explain it. Xi Che's questioning gave him a new idea. He admitted it easily: "Yes."
"Have you successfully passed the tribulation now?"
Xi Che looked at him: "I can't see any changes. Shouldn't you ascend to heaven after successfully passing the tribulation?"
Chu Yan was stunned by the question and said in silence: "Then I may have failed."
"If I fail, I will be struck to death, or at worst I will be struck back to my original form."
Chu Yan thought for a long time: "I don't know."
...This is just a perfunctory answer to a fool.
Xi Che felt that he didn't want to tell him, or that the other race had special skills that couldn't be revealed, so he decided not to ask.
So he changed the subject: "Did you help me get rid of the corpse poison in my body?"
Chu Yan nodded quickly: "Yes. I used magic to help you get rid of it."
This answer was not considered a lie, because it was indeed he who used magic to help him get rid of the poison.
Xi Che subconsciously grinned, his expression looked like he was neither crying nor joking: "...I owe you a favor this time."
He hated owing favors the most, especially owing a favor to a suspected suitor.
Chu Yan knew him very well. He knew what Xi Che was thinking just by looking at his expression.
"No need. If we switched places, you would also save me."
Xi Che glanced at him and felt that he was just being polite: "I don't have that ability."
Chu Yan looked ahead expressionlessly and said: "Don't worry about those trivial matters. Hurry up and take a look ahead. If you really feel bad, consider that kiss as a favor to me." "
..."
Before Xi Che could react, Chu Yan had already walked forward. Xi Che looked at his back as he walked away, feeling angry and embarrassed - had he just been teased? ! Damn... Even if this Chu Qi is a very powerful demon, he has only been cultivating for a few thousand years at most. Compared with him, the demon god of war, he is definitely a junior! He was actually teased by a little kid? !
Xi Che was furious. The little black cat that appeared on his shoulder out of nowhere spoke in a baby voice: "This is much more interesting than the one in the sky."
Xi Che rolled his eyes and walked towards the direction where Chu Qi was going: "What nonsense."
The white tiger squatted on Xi Che's shoulder, snuggling up to him very obediently, with its fur sticking to Xi Che's cheek. It was raining, and I felt warm with the white tiger sticking to me.
"Although I don't like the smell of him, he seems to be a good guy. I think you can develop a temporary relationship with him. You never know when your body will enter the estrus period, so you always have to choose one or two people as backup."
"...I don't need it."
Baihu snorted: "You should know whether you need it or not. The God of Light is high above and does not need to endure the pain of estrus, but your body has to endure it. If you reject others for him and suffer for him, will he pity you?"
Xi Che knew that what Baihu said was right, and he began to feel uncomfortable. Baihu continued to add insult to injury: "Don't say he doesn't know. Even if he knew, would the noble God Mingzhao be willing to condescend to help you solve your physiological problems? He doesn't want you, he will only despise you."
"Enough, stop scolding."
Xi Che had understood this truth a long time ago, not to mention that he is now a lowest-level succubus. Even if he was the god of war back then, it would be impossible for him to have a result with Chu Yan.
He never expected it.
Xi Che took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Why do you hate Chu Yan so much? In your mouth, anyone with a human shape is stronger than him."
Baihu was clearly his soul, but his attitude towards Chu Yan was completely different from his attitude towards him...
Baihu snorted coldly: "You have forgotten that he watched you die without saving you, but I haven't forgotten. I protected him back then... Only you are so disappointing that you still miss him even after being treated like that. If it were me, I would definitely kill him to avenge my past."
Xi Che did not respond. Although Baihu was his soul, he was not entirely born from his soul. He also had his own temper and personality. It should be called the "driving soul". It was Baihu who chose him and became one with him.
So he doesn't always listen to himself.
The White Tiger is in charge of killing and has a very violent temper. Sometimes it even instigates Xi Che to make impulsive choices.
When his master found out that his original spirit was the White Tiger, he asked Xi Che to recite more scriptures or practice calligraphy to cultivate his character. They are the gods of war and already have a murderous aura. Adding the White Tiger to the mix, it's even more murderous. If they're not careful, they'll go astray.
It seemed that everything about him was predicted by his master.
If he had been able to be calmer back then, listened to his master, recited more scriptures, and cultivated his character, perhaps he would not have impulsively started the war that endangered the three realms, and he would not have become a sinner.
Baihu sensed Xi Che's depression and rubbed against him for a few times: "I think you feel the most pleasure when you are possessed."
Xi Che was speechless - of course you feel the most pleasure, you feel the most pleasure when you kill people.
Baihu is just a spirit. He doesn't need to consider the safety of the three realms, nor does he need to consider right or wrong. He can do whatever he wants. You can't let him do whatever he wants.
Xi Che no longer thought about the past events. These things could not be figured out in a short time. He saw Chu Qi stopped not far ahead, as if waiting for him, so he quickened his pace to catch up.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Seeing Xi Che coming over, Chu Yan took off his coat and handed it to him. His eyes inadvertently swept over his shoulder, and the little black cat was still there: "The rain is heavy, you block it for a while."
Xi Che was stunned and immediately refused: "No, I'm not a girl, there's no need to block this little rain."
"Block it for a while, this is not ordinary rain."
Oh... yes, if the corpses here are poisonous, the rain should also be poisonous.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Chu Yan moved over and covered Xi Che's head with his coat. At this moment, Xi Che felt as if he was embraced in his arms, and all the sounds from the outside world disappeared.
...This doesn't seem to be an ordinary coat, there is actually a barrier on it.
Xi Che looked at him in surprise, but the other party still had that indifferent expression, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
"Then what will you do?"
"I'm fine, this level of poison can't hurt me."
Xi Che nodded, then felt a little disappointed. It turned out that he had become the weakest and even needed special care. His current strength is very weak, and he can't even cast spells continuously. Otherwise, it would be very tiring, so Chu Qi has to hold up the lighting spell.
Chu Qi walked quietly beside him. Perhaps because he was too quiet and always had a stern face, Xi Che actually felt for a moment that he was a bit like Chu Yan.
Chu Qi noticed that Xi Che was looking at him, so he turned his head to look at him, and Xi Che noticed his eyes. Chu Qi had a pair of very standard phoenix eyes, bright and starry. No wonder he made a mistake in a trance.
But these eyes are on such a mediocre face.
Haha, what is he, a low-profile version of Chu Yan? Chu Yanping replaces?
Xi Che lowered his head slightly and said to Baihu in his mind: "You are right... maybe I should consider this person. He seems to have a good impression of me too."
Baihu was silent for a moment: "You seem unhappy."
Xi Che walked forward quietly. Suddenly, a tear fell and hit the white bones under his feet: "I feel very sad."
Why did he want to be reborn as a succubus? Oh my God, this is a joke on him.
Moreover, he was actually seriously considering asking Chu Yanping to replace him, and whether he should ask Pinduoduo for help next time.
Baihu sighed: "Can you please stop acting like a grown woman who is forced to receive (harmonious) customers? I'm not asking you to be with him forever. After solving his physiological problems, let him go wherever he wants to cool off. Of course... I really hope there is someone who can make you forget that damn scumbag Chu Yan, but if you don't like it, no one will force you."
"He's not a scumbag."
"He is."
"..." I'm too lazy to argue with him.
After walking forward for a distance, Xi Che's feet suddenly slipped, as if he stepped on something, and he almost fell down - of course, Xi Che believed that he would not fall down. Despite this, the classmate named Chu still meddled and put his arm around his waist.
...This guy really wants to pick him up.
Xi Che quickly broke free from his hand, squatted down to check, and there was a half-moon shaped metal plate where he stepped. Xi Che frowned and picked up the plate. There was a rope on the metal plate, which was a pendant.
"Source... Look, is this the word 'Source'?"
Chu Qi squatted down beside Xi Che, picked up the sign and looked at it carefully, then nodded: "Yes."
Xi Che gave him a complicated look, fumbled to pull out a rope from his collar, on which was also hung a metal plate, but his metal plate said "Che".
"These two are a pair, and this one belongs to my brother..."
Chu Yan was a little surprised. He thought about it and soon understood that Asa should be talking about the brother in his current body.
But the next second Xi Che suddenly burst into tears: "My brother is dead, Bi Yuan is dead... I knew he had turned into a pile of bones here."
Chu Yan looked at Xi Che in silence for a moment and reached out to wipe away his tears: "Calm down."
"Wuuuu, I'm so sad... My heart hurts so much, I'm so sad."
Xi Che didn't listen to his advice at all and burst into tears with his face covered. Chu Yan had no choice but to put his arms around Xi Che's neck and press him into his arms: "Okay, okay, calm down."
Xi Che struggled, crying and shouting: "Let me go, I don't want to be replaced... I would rather die than surrender."
Replacement? What's the meaning?
Chu Yan simply picked him up horizontally and continued walking forward.
Xi Che struggled even more violently, yelling like a tantrum: "Let me go, let me go! I don't want you! Wuuuu... I don't want it..."
Chu Yan frowned tightly, not caring about hiding his identity, and directly used the art of shrinking the earth to stride away from this land of bones.
Finally reaching the edge of the field of bones, he gently put Xi Che down. The person who had been crying loudly slowly calmed down, his sobs turned into sniffles, and his tears gradually stopped.
...You're crying so sadly.
"Are you feeling better?"
Xi Che's eyes were swollen from crying. When he heard Chu Yan's voice, he didn't dare to look up at all - Oh my God, what was he doing just now... What embarrassing thing did he just do? !
Why is he crying!
Seeing that he remained silent and lowered his head pretending to be dead, Chu Yan understood in his heart - Asa was so concerned about his reputation, he must be ashamed at this moment.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and decided to help him find a way out: "That piece of bone field gathers a lot of foul air and resentment, which will amplify people's emotions. Did you think of something sad just now?"
Xi Che raised his eyes and glanced at him, without saying anything, but he noticed that the clothes on Chu Yan's chest were torn beyond recognition by his punches and kicks.
"Um, no, sorry...your clothes."
"It's okay."
Xi Che lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, for fear that someone would see his tearful face.
For a moment, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to leave this beautiful world.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and stared at Xi Che's furry head. Seeing that he was gasping from time to time, he hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked his head.
He didn't dodge.
Chu Yan was a little happy. He touched the hair on the back of Xi Che's head, then held him and pressed him against his chest.
When Xi Che reacted, he froze there, and subconsciously grabbed the soil on the ground with both hands.
Should he push it away...
Someone was stroking his head again and again, as if someone was smoothing his fur.
Xi Che was stiff for a long time, then closed his eyes as if in compromise - never mind, people had saved him so many times... he couldn't be so unkind.
