After this sound was released, Xie Lian suddenly covered his mouth.

The young soldier turned around suddenly and asked, "...Your Highness?"

Xie Lian supported himself on the ground with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, his breathing was disordered and his shoulders were twitching. Just listening to the sound and looking at his back, most people would probably think he was sobbing.

Xie Lian had never experienced such a tormenting moment in his life, whether before or after his ascension. It was much harder than the most rigorous training in Huangji Temple. His hands that were supporting the ground lost their strength, and his whole body fell to one side. He lay on the ground in a daze and saw that the young man seemed to want to come in. Xie Lian shouted, "Don't come over! I said no matter what you hear, don't come over!!!"

The young man stopped. Xie Lian finally turned over and lay on his back. His breathing was barely smooth, but the heat flowing through his limbs was getting higher and higher. The female demons outside the cave heard him tossing and turning, and they were so angry that they clapped their hands and laughed, "My goodness, why are you doing this? Today you are afraid of losing your believers, so you don't come to enjoy this happiness; tomorrow you are afraid of losing your believers, so you dare not do anything else. How can you be a priest? Isn't he a tortured prisoner who is bound by your believers? It doesn't matter if you don't want to be a god like this. You will be thrown away anyway, so why don't you just do it for your own pleasure? Come and go, why bother with him!"

A few faint blue veins appeared on Xie Lian’s forehead, and his emotions were a little out of control. He shouted angrily: “Shut up!!!”

The female demons were naturally not afraid of him at this time, and they teased the soldier again: "Little brother, do you think what we said makes sense? Hahahaha..."

“Hehehe… Do you feel uncomfortable standing here?”

Cold sweat had already soaked his whole body. Xie Lian was extremely irritated. He stretched out his hand and tore open the clothes on his chest, just to get a little coolness. Hearing a "chi chi" sound, he suddenly realized: How come this hand suddenly had a little strength? Although the strength was fleeting and soon disappeared, he felt it carefully and found that the numbness was gone and the strength was gradually rising. However, Xie Lian's heart sank.

Falling into this land of gentleness, he felt numb first, then frantic. The numbness had passed, but after a while, he would go crazy. Although he had specially set up two barriers in front of the cave, the inner one was to prevent himself from losing his mind and rushing out, but once he got angry, he didn't know if he could be stopped. This moment of clarity was hard-won, and Xie Lian seized the opportunity, his mind raced, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Suddenly, he thought of something: the onset of the gentle state is very fast, and it can be said that the blood and qi go out of control when they rush to the brain, so why has he been able to hold on until now? Is there no other reason besides his good concentration?

Thinking of this, Xie Lian took a deep breath, turned his head slightly, and said to the silhouette of the young man who was trying to enter the cave, “You… come in.”

Hearing this, the young soldier seemed to want to run to him immediately, but after a few steps, he seemed to remember Xie Lian's angry shout "Don't come in no matter what you hear", and he didn't know whether he should go in or not. Xie Lian changed his words now, but he had no choice but to say, "Come in first and we'll talk."

The young man rushed in without hesitation.

The cave was long and narrow, warm and humid inside, and pitch black. With Xie Lian's subdued breathing, the young man groped his way to him. Xie Lian said, "Put your sword down... on the ground. Stay next to me, not too far away."

The young soldier said, "Yes!" He handed over his only self-defense weapon and placed it beside Xie Lian where he could reach it. Xie Lian said, "Please help me up."

The young man half-knelt beside him and stretched out his hands to help Xie Lian. Unexpectedly, when he reached out, his fingertips touched not cloth but warm skin.

The hands immediately retracted. Xie Lian was also unexpectedly burned by the hot hands of the young man. Only then did he remember that he had torn off his shirt while struggling on the ground in frustration. Originally, it was nothing for the man to be shirtless, but it was a bit embarrassing in this situation. But this embarrassment did not need to be pointed out, just do what needs to be done and it will pass. The young man probably understood, and before Xie Lian could speak, he reached out again, grabbed his naked shoulders and quickly helped him up, and then withdrew his hands. Xie Lian leaned against the wall of the cave, his vest pressed against the slightly cool rock, and he felt a little relieved. He noticed that the other party had taken two steps back, and hurriedly said, "Wait, don't go out!"

The young soldier immediately obeyed whatever he said and froze in place. Xie Lian said, "Cut off a small strand of my hair. It will be useful to me."

The young man reached out his hand in response. However, it was hard to see in the dark, and Xie Lian's long hair was neatly tied behind his back. He was unable to touch Xie Lian's hair, but accidentally touched a patch of skin on Xie Lian's chest. It was smooth and flexible, with a thin layer of sweat, and it became slippery as soon as it touched. Xie Lian was already feeling uncomfortable, and the young man touched the wrong place. It felt like an electric current ran through his chest, and the numbness spread throughout his body, and he groaned softly.

In an instant, both people in the cave froze.

The group of flower fairies outside the cave were eager to listen, how could they miss it? They all laughed and said, "Oh, what are they doing in there?"

"It's so embarrassing."

"I don't dare to listen."

When they laughed at how hard it was for him to endure, Xie Lian gritted his teeth and said, “You guys…!”

Hearing that he was angry, the young soldier hastily withdrew his hand, not daring to touch him again. Xie Lian certainly didn’t grit his teeth at him. In his eyes, the young soldier was just a child. Thinking that he was probably afraid of offending him, Xie Lian softened his tone and said, “Don’t panic, just continue, ignore them.”

The other party said hoarsely, "Yes." However, he seemed to be panicking. He didn't touch the right place for a long time. When he found that he was in the wrong place, he withdrew his hand. In the end, he could only touch up along Xie Lian's chest randomly, which made Xie Lian feel so painful that he wanted to bang his head against the wall of the cave and faint. Finally, the young man touched Xie Lian's trembling Adam's apple, reached back, and caught a strand of his hair. He only held a very thin strand, carefully picked up the sword and cut it, and immediately said, "Your Highness, it's done!"

At this time, Xie Lian regained some strength and was able to lift his hand. He said, "Give me your hand."

The young man raised his hand. Xie Lian took the thin strand of hair from his hand and tied it randomly around one of his fingers. The young man was stunned for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, what is this?"

Xie Lian sighed, “The flower demon’s scent is about to enter the second level. I have to borrow your sword. If anything wants to hurt you later, you can raise this hand to protect yourself and save your life. Now, get out.”

After a while, the young soldier left the cave. The group of flower fairies started to make a noise, "Come out?"

"Finally it's out."

"You blocked us out, but you went in yourself. Little boy, this is not a very fair thing to do!"

At the same time, Xie Lian felt more strength surge into his limbs. He took a deep breath, grabbed the broken sword left by the young soldier with his right hand, calmed his mind, raised the sword, and slashed his left arm.

Instantly, it was as if the fog in front of me was cleared away, and my five senses became slightly clearer.

It is true!

Blood gushed out of Xie Lian’s left arm, but his heart seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope in the midst of chaos and war.

The scent of the land of gentleness makes people restless and arouses the desires deep in their hearts. The more severely they have suppressed their desires in the past, the more severe the rebound will be after inhaling the scent. In addition to "lust", what Xie Lian suppressed in the past was "desire to kill".

This "desire to kill" cannot be to kill demons and monsters. Because he had killed many demons and monsters before, it is not to say that he has suppressed it. The object of "killing" must be a human or a god, so that there will be a sense of "breaking the taboo". Before entering the cave, Xie Lian cut himself with a sword in order to set up the formation. At that time, blood was seen, so it relieved the gentle land, because killing himself is also killing.

In the final analysis, "lust" and "desire to kill" are both extremely aggressive desires. Even Xie Lian has heard of them. Some people believe that they are essentially the same. So, based on this, we can find an alternative way to overcome the current difficulties.

After confirming this, Xie Lian did not hesitate to slash his left arm with his sword again. With each slash, he felt his mind become clearer. He was overjoyed, but he didn't know if it was the evil spirit from the gentle land that was causing trouble in his body. At the moment when his "killing desire" was satisfied, Xie Lian suddenly felt a surge of pleasure.

This wave of ecstatic pleasure swept over every inch of his body from the top of his head to the tips of his toes, easily breaking down the barrier he had painstakingly built up. By the time Xie Lian realized it, he had already moaned softly.

If he wasn’t the only one in the cave, Xie Lian wouldn’t have believed that the sound came from him. He shuddered with fear, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself, “This method is obviously feasible, how could this happen?”

Looking at the sword again, he suddenly remembered that the young soldier had used this sword to cut the roots of flowers and killed a female demon in human form. The blade had long been stained with the juice of the land of tenderness. He used this sword to hurt himself and seek relief. The first sword stabbed with two-tenths of force, and the second sword had to use three-tenths of force to achieve the same soothing effect. Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst? !

He was so impatient that he lost his mind, otherwise he would have noticed this a long time ago. Xie Lian cursed himself inwardly. Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to tear off his left sleeve and wipe the sword frantically, then tear off his right sleeve and stuff it into his mouth, biting it tightly, trying his best to control himself.

He bit his lips and teeth, forcing the soft moan to be intermittent. However, the cave had its own echo, and all the subtle sounds were amplified and transmitted out. Moreover, the young soldier had been blindfolded according to his instructions and could only listen to the sound. His ears were more sensitive, so how could he not notice anything unusual? He could no longer hold back and trembled, "Your Highness?"

This embarrassing situation was the greatest humiliation in his life. Xie Lian couldn’t imagine what would happen if someone else saw him. Even though the cave was pitch black, he couldn’t stand it and shouted, “Don’t come in!!!”

However, he still had the cloth plug tightly in his mouth, and all he sounded was a whimper, which was extremely pitiful. The young soldier became even more anxious after hearing this.
