Chapter 69: Changes at the Gates of Hell (I) The tip of the tongue got what it wanted,…

With her cheeks cupped in two hands, Ye Qingzhan had no choice but to endure the kisses that rained down like a torrential downpour.

Wen Gu closed his eyes, his hand gently caressing her cheek, then slowly sliding to the back of her neck, suddenly increasing his strength and pressing against her. His other hand, along her waistline, twisted her hands in a way that twisted as she tried to resist.

In the flickering candlelight, two shadows overlapped, their breaths entangled in an indistinguishable tangle.

A dense, heavy kiss landed on her lips, completely stealing her breath. Ye Qingzhan was breathless, and in a daze, she felt as if she were floating on the sea, groggy and drowsy. Suddenly, a pain ached at the corner of her lip.

The spreading pain finally brought her back to consciousness.

Ye Qingzhan opened her eyes, and they seemed to be filled with spring water, wetting her long, thick eyelashes. Her fair face seemed to be embroidered with two shy early spring pink peaches.

After the heat subsided slightly, she endured the pain at the corner of her lips and looked at the boy standing nearby.

The corners of his eyes were red, and his hair, tangled from the battle, spread out behind him. His normally icy complexion now seemed to have been immersed in a sea of passion and desire, tinged with the color of hellish voluptuousness.

Addicted to the fragrance of her lips, Wen Gu remained silent, his tongue tracing the lips of the man in his arms. He bit and sucked, restlessly reaching inside, wanting to penetrate the warmth that did not belong to him.

The evil spirit emanating from his body threatened to drown them both, more like it was threatening to tear the boy, trapped at the center of the swirling black fog, apart. Silently, like a jackal or tiger, he approached the girl pressed against him.

As if nothing was enough, Wen Gu opened his eyes.

The watery eyes of the woman before him glared at him with anger. For some reason, he felt as if his body had melted into magma, burning his internal organs and making the numbness of bones grow wildly in his body.

The familiar eyes, the unprecedented pleasure, lured him to fall step by step. It had been a long time since she looked at him with such eyes.

Wen Gu stared at the clear but angry eyes for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ye Qingzhan's chin. As her eyes were as vivid as before, he tilted his head and kissed her again.

In his floating mind, there were more memories of her.

He remembered their first meeting, on the day the camellias first bloomed—

"Let me tell you, little brat, I've got a keen nose. There's a delicious girl on earth, devoid of any evil. Eating her would be a real tonic."

The black dragon, soaring through the sea of clouds, spoke with excitement in his eyes. "I want to ascend. I'm going to eat her! Once I eat her, my power will soar. Once I ascend to heaven, our grudges will be wiped clean. Then I'll go seduce Little Meilong!" His eyes darted,

his gaze blazing as saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth.

The red-clad youth perched atop the dragon's head remained expressionless. But the moment he finished speaking, he swiftly moved ahead of him, hovering in the air.

The youth's skin was as white as snow, his appearance surpassing the tea leaves adorning the mountain. But as if he had been born without the ability to smile, his lips tightly pursed, his cold, expressionless eyes fixed on the black dragon.

The galloping black dragon was forced to a halt.

"'What are you doing?' I was flying perfectly fine, why did you stop me? You're desperate!" The little black dragon, who had only been out for a few days, opened his mouth and spouted whatever he had heard from the storyteller.

"Get out of my way! I smell it! That delicious mortal woman is right here in this village!"

The young man's brows furrowed slightly, and from his palms, a blade of ice materialized, pointing the tip at him. "Fight!"

"You, you, you do it again! Why are you always thinking of fighting me? Haven't you had enough in that shabby place? Now that you're out, can't you enjoy the prosperity of the human world and travel the mountains and rivers?"

The black dragon's eyes, as big as ancient bells, widened in disbelief.

The young man in red held his sword with his grip unwavering.

"Alright, alright, let's fight over there." The big black dragon was helpless, its tail sweeping across the sea mist.

The young man, sword in hand, pierced the clouds and mist.

That day, the villagers of Camellia Village watched as flashes of swords and sabers occasionally flitted across the misty sea, a black and a red figure glimpsed through it.

Soon, another black shadow fell from the sky and crashed into the sea.

The fog dissipated, and the young man in red emerged from the water, with blood dripping down his sword-holding hand.

His long hair was wet, and his eyes were red as he walked towards the girl who was stunned not far away.

...

She thought that the young man who was restraining her had finally woken up, but she didn't expect that what was waiting for her was an even more scorching kiss. The kiss fell on her lips, as if the desire that had been opened had finally found a way to vent, surging out.

In this siege built by desire, Ye Qingzhan was hugged tightly, and her lips and teeth were also invaded. She opened her eyes with pain, and suddenly saw Yinsha surrounding her, like Shura evil spirits, with fangs and claws, salivating, and impatient.

Seeing that they seemed to be about to get out of control, Ye Qingzhan was frightened, but her hands were tightly entangled by someone and she couldn't break free.

In desperation, she opened her lips slightly.

The thought in his heart suddenly saw the light - Wen Gu's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and the tip of his tongue got what he wanted and probed in.

The lips and tongues were entangled intentionally, and Ye Qingzhan took a cold look and bit hard.

Pain came from his mouth, and the taste of blood came. Wen Gu opened his eyes, and the hand holding the girl suddenly loosened.

Ye Qingzhan pushed him away and pointed at the black mist that was gathering around him, "Can't you control it?"

Pushed hard by the person in front of him, Wen Gu stepped back without any preparation. A mist suddenly emerged in his red eyes as he retreated. The boy lowered his eyebrows and kept silent about what he wanted to say after seeing Yin Sha leaning towards the girl. But he quickly threw out an ice blade from his sleeve and raised his hand to stab it towards his heart.

"What are you doing!" Ye Qingzhan was shocked and wanted to step forward to stop the seemingly crazy boy.

"Don't come over." Wen Gu's voice was deep and light, with a soothing and persuasive tone, "It'll be okay."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qingzhan saw the scattered black mist gather together and transform into a huge palm, catching the sword that Wen Gu was stabbing at him.

Thousands of voices rose at the same time, interweaving into a deep and angry questioning: "You want to kill yourself! Are you crazy?"

Wen Gu ignored it, put his hands together and pressed the ice blade down. The sword tip pierced the Yin Sha, inch by inch, and was only a millimeter away from his heart.

"Get back here."

The sword blade pierced into his clothes, and a little blood flowed out.

Ye Qingzhan could no longer stay where he was and ran towards Wen Gu. The moment she raised her step, the Yin Sha that had turned into a giant palm spread out into thousands of black strings, rushing into his body, as if to tear him apart.

Her body felt like it was shattered into dust, her heart felt like it was about to burst, and pain emanated from every part of her body. However, Wen Gu did not retreat a single step, but simply raised his hands to cover the eyes of the person next to him.

"Don't look."

"Don't be afraid."

As the words fell, tears soaked his palms.

It was as if a heavy rain had fallen on her broken heart, cleansing the broken and festering heart, and the pain of being torn apart disappeared completely. After a long time, Wen Gu sighed.

When she cried, he was at a loss.

"Don't cry." Wen Gu gently patted Ye Qingzhan's shoulder, as if she had comforted him before.

The palm covering her eyes was very cold, not like the temperature of a living person. The moment she lowered her palm, Ye Qingzhan suddenly turned around and hugged the person behind her tightly.

"I feel it."

In the fleeting moment, it was as if thousands of silver needles pierced her muscles and bones, her flesh and blood were scorched and burned, and maggots were biting her spinal cord - even before the pain swept through her body, a certain power from an unknown source in her body protected her heart, but Ye Qingzhan still felt the pain that was enough to tear a person's soul apart.

Has he been going through all these years like this?

The moment the pain came suddenly, Ye Qingzhan couldn't bear it and burst into tears. When Wen Gu put his hand down, she just wanted to hug him quietly, almost driven by her inner desire.

Wen Gu was stunned.

The hand that was suspended in the air slowly dropped and wrapped around her waist.

Ye Qingzhan cried in his arms, sobbing and asking, "It must have been painful these years."

The hand around his waist tightened a little, Wen Gu rested his chin on Ye Qingzhan's shoulder, sniffing her unique scent silently.

After crying enough, Ye Qingzhan broke free from Wen Gu's increasingly tight embrace, looking at him with wet eyes.

Wen Gu closed his eyes, his expression indifferent and calm.

Seeing him like this, Ye Qingzhan's heart ached even more, and she wanted to stand on tiptoe and kiss him...

Bang!

With a clang, someone waved a big hand and slammed the door open.

Li Zhixing stepped in with one foot, then hooked his foot back, covering his eyes and muttering, "Don't look at anything indecent, don't look at anything indecent! Sorry, sorry!" His twisted body almost tripped to the ground, and his forehead hit the door frame.

Bang!

The successive noises forced Wen Gu to open his eyes, especially after he understood the intention of the girl in his arms, the look he gave the exiled immortal changed from impatience to resentment in an instant.

Ye Qingzhan blushed at the look in the eyes of the person in front of him, and blinked. When his heels landed quietly on the ground, Wen Gu raised his hand to touch her lower lip, lowered his head and kissed her.

The kiss was very light.

When the two lips separated, Wen Gu leaned close to Ye Qingzhan's ear and said, "Don't do things halfway."

"That's what you taught me."

Ye Qingzhan felt itchy in his heart because of this feather-like kiss, and listened to the deep and slow voice beside his ear: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you do half, I'll do the rest."

After that, Wen Gu moved away, fearing that he would not be able to help but do something else under the hazy gaze of the person next to him.

Ye Qingzhan hurriedly moved away from him and shook his head.

- It's so weird, so weird! Why is it like this? Is she a small fish? Is he a fishhook? How come she is hooked as soon as she bites! Every time he kissed her these times, she felt more and more dizzy, even though he had kissed her before...

"Ouch, ouch——" Li Zhixing supported his waist with one hand and the door frame with the other, slowly stood up from the ground while shouting, and turned around. He thought that since he was swollen from the bump, the two people behind him should have finished what they needed to do.

"You're done, come downstairs, I have something important to tell you."

Ye Qingzhan looked at the striking purple-red lump on his head, a little worried, and walked forward and said, "Exiled Immortal, let me help you reduce the swelling first."

"No, let's talk about business first."

The Heavenly Court urgently summoned him, and he followed the order of heaven and earth to go to the East China Sea. Only then did he know that something big had happened there, and those old dragons had concealed the news for so long. And this big thing was related to the young man in front of him.

The Exiled Immortal looked very anxious, and his usual nonchalant attitude was gone. Ye Qingzhan stopped talking, looked back at Wen Gu, motioned him to follow, and he supported the exiled immortal and walked out the door first.

Wen Gu looked at her back, thinking about something. After a moment, he stepped forward to catch up.

Li Zhixing squinted one eye and looked at Wen Gu who was walking beside Ye Qingzhan, and suddenly asked: "Do you remember what the fox said in the last fantasy domain?"

Wen Gu was staring at the girl beside him, and when he heard the words, his eyes met his.

"He said that the boy who looks exactly like you came from the boundless strange domain and turned the East China Sea upside down, causing chaos in the country."

Ye Qingzhan, who was sandwiched between the two, listened silently, thinking carefully about what the exiled immortal said.

In the fantasy domain, the boy who looked the same as Wen Gu, only a little more childish than him, was called Yin Chen Jue by the fox Taoist. As for the East China Sea, Taohuaxian also said that in a melee, an ancient secret scroll was lost, which recorded the secret of "wisdom".

As their eyes met, Li Zhixing continued to say to Wen Gu, "Do you know that when I was young, I killed all the sea beasts raised in the East China Sea, and snatched away a divine beast from the heaven that was fostered in the East China Sea and could repair souls and heal wounds, and sealed it in my own consciousness."

"The name of that divine beast is--" Before the exiled immortal could speak, Ye Qingzhan naturally continued his words: "Soul-repairing Beast". On the night when she first came to the Mingche Illusion, she saw with her own eyes that Wen Gu released the beast spirit that looked like a deer but was not a deer. It was also him who turned it into a piece of paper-cut and gave it to her.

Li Zhixing nodded, then added, "You're quite good at snatching. I understand if you're taking back divine beasts that can only heal wounds, but what about you beating up the other sea beasts and then releasing them? And releasing them into the human world!"

At this point, Li Zhixing's tone was inevitably a little excited. "Those sea beasts are enormous and ferocious by nature. I've suppressed them at the bottom of the sea. Do you have any idea how much turmoil they would cause if they were to reach the human world?"

Wen Gu looked at him. "I don't know."

His voice was neither loud nor soft, neither fast nor slow, so calm and gentle that it almost infuriated this celestial being. Li Zhixing silently repeated the phrase "I'm a divine being, I don't get angry" three times, then pulled out his folding fan and waved it at Wen

Gu. Wen Gu raised his head and knocked the fan away.

"I beat those monsters." Wen Gu snatched the fan from Li Zhixing's hand and handed it to Ye Qingzhan.

"But I didn't release them."

The man and the immortal stopped and looked at Wen Gu.

During the intimate contact just now, some of his memories returned. As Mingche had said in the illusion, he had killed several beasts in the East China Sea, but it was also those beasts that escaped from the bottom of the sea and started causing trouble in a village by the sea. That village was…

Wen Gu looked at Ye Qingzhan.

“What did you say! Camellia Village?” Ye Qingzhan couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Li Zhixing, pinching him so hard that he wailed. “Calm down, calm down, be gentle!”

The exiled immortal’s painful lamentations filled her ears, and Ye Qingzhan felt as if she were drowning, suffocating and powerless. Silhouette-like images flashed through her mind, one after another.

Ever since she lost her memory, she had been tormented by two nightmares.

– In the ice and snow, a young man in red with a bloodstained brow pointed his sword at her mother, Jiang Xuejun. The other dream was of herself, falling into the depths of the sea.

Ye Qingzhan remembered that it wasn’t a dream, it was something that really happened.

She had been bitten by a beast from the sea and had almost died in the mouth of a dragon.

Fortunately, someone saved her.

But... why is her memory always fragmented? The voice in her heart told her that she had forgotten a very important part of her past.

Her head hurt so much. Ye Qingzhan closed her eyes and shook them. After opening them, she met Wen Gu's fiery gaze. His eyes were full of concern, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to remember something."

Ye Qingzhan supported Li Zhixing to the top of the stairs and was about to tell him when he saw Mingche stumbling up the wooden steps. After seeing the three people, he leaned on the railing and gasped, "Something bad has happened!"
