Qin Yu felt that he was within a wonderful dream. Everything in this dream was blurry and vague, and a soft and warm touch all around him left him intoxicated in its feeling.
Subconsciously, he wished to touch it and feel it clearer. But then he suddenly felt as if he was falling down a cliff. After he plummeted downwards, his stomach rising into his chest, he then crashed into the ground.
He was startled. His body was sore and an icy coldness spread through him…Qin Yu had woken up.
He quickly opened his eyes to welcome the faint eyes of Shen Yuanyin. Her complexion was even colder and there was a dangerous intent around her.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was clearly unwell, she likely would have stomped over and slapped him several times.
Qin Yu was confused and dumbfounded. But when his eyes fell on Shen Yuanyin’s chest, the dark handprint on her dress was especially eye-catching.
Although he didn’t go forward to compare, Qin Yu knew that if he were to walk up and press his hand there, it would fit perfectly.
This made things particularly awkward…
After a moment of stunned surprise, Qin Yu immediately moved his eyes away. He lightly coughed and said, “I thank fellow daoist for saving me.”
At this time, pretending to not know anything was the only option. If he brought everything into the light, how could the two of them possibly stay together?
However, he had clearly moved to save her first, so how come he was so muddleheaded that he thanked her first?
Qin Yu forced a smile in his heart. All sorts of haphazard thoughts left his mind in chaos.
He knew that before he fell unconscious, he felt something familiar from this woman’s body.
But now that he looked at her again, she was like a walking block of ice, so cold that she was scary…was this some sort of demonic temptation…or had his potential of being a l.u.s.t-filled pervert finally been activated…?
Shen Yuanyin quietly clenched her teeth. Even now she didn’t discover that compared to before, she seemed much more ‘human’.
It was Qin Yu who broke the silence, “Fellow daoist, how is your current condition?”
“Shut up!” Shen Yuanyin coldly said, anger hidden in her tone. As she said that she directly closed her eyes.
Although he had been scolded, Qin Yu relaxed a little. As long as he managed to speak the first words, it would be much easier to speak further in the future.
Seeing that Shen Yuanyin didn’t wish to, he was happy to join her. He closed his eyes and sensed his condition. After a moment, he secretly complained in his heart.
That battle had only lasted for a short period of time. But, no matter how strong the path of water was, it was unable to resist the joint attacks of several people together.
When Qin Yu was forcefully withstanding the barrage his body had been grievously wounded. But, the trickier problem here was the damage to his soul.
The path of water had created a phantom of the sea. And after being frozen by Shen Yuanyin, it became even more realistic. But in the end, it wasn’t a genuine sea region.
Perhaps sensing that Qin Yu was in a desperate situation, the godhead had forcefully used this chance to stimulate itself and cast down that terrifying beam of light.
However, he ultimately needed to pay the necessary price. For instance, Qin Yu’s currently extremely weakened soul.
“Master, the risk you took was too great!” Undying’s glum voice sounded out. There was a warning behind it.
Undying had gambled his final chance on Qin Yu. If something were to happen to him, then he would be sent beyond redemption. If so, how could he be calm as Qin Yu completely disregarded his life and death and took such ridiculous risks?
If it weren’t for the purple moon and Cosmic Seacross Bell resisting a portion of the backlash that came from the godhead at such a critical moment, then even if Qin Yu didn’t die he still would have devolved into a blubbering fool.
Qin Yu sensed that the purple moon and Cosmic Seacross Bell had weakened immensely. Guilt overcame him, “This was my mistake. It won’t happen again in the future.”
Qin Yu didn’t excuse himself and directly blocked Undying’s following words. Undying wanted to remind Qin Yu not to be blinded by beauty, but after hesitating over and over, he decided not to say anything.
To be honest, Undying was also shocked. After knowing Qin Yu for so many years, he knew that Qin Yu wasn’t someone to be tempted by beautiful women. So, how could he lose his discretion in front of this woman?
Was it possible that this brat Qin Yu loved cold and indifferent women? And now that he met this icy beauty, his fetish for being abused had suddenly been awakened?
Qin Yu was already feeling ashamed at his actions. He had no idea that Undying’s gaze towards him had become quite strange.
He opened his eyes and looked at the meditating Shen Yuanyin. He looked around again and saw that she had set up arrangements that isolated out their auras.
He took out the Ninth Province furnace and added another safeguard measure. Then, he took out some pills and swallowed them. These pills were mostly used to heal the soul.
The Emperor level Demon Body possessed astonishing regenerative abilities. Compared to the injuries of his body, the injuries to his soul were far more critical.
The two were silent and the atmosphere was peaceful. Qin Yu’s breathing slowly returned to normal.
Still, he always believed he was a cautious and discreet individual. He never thought he would unexpectedly trust Shen Yuanyin so much.
At this time, Shen Yuanyin opened her eyes. When she looked at Qin Yu, her eyes were still faint. But somewhere deep in her eyes, there was a complex light.
…
A mass of black water fell to the ground. When it rose up, it condensed into the figure of a person, slowly revealed to be ‘Shen Yuanyin’. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she looked towards the stone cave in front of her.
Here it was!
She closed her eyes and an invisible aura emanated outwards. A breeze blew through the air, bringing with it a light humidity.
After several breaths of time, she opened her eyes, her expression dignified.
The god-chosen was also here too!
Deep in thought, ‘Shen Yuanyin’ took a step back. Then, like an illusion, her figure fused into the shadows.
Several breaths of time later, another breeze blew out. This one wasn’t as gentle as the one before, but was cold and carried with it a dark killing intent.
This wasn’t to help conceal it. On the contrary, she wanted those inside the cave to sense that there was something wrong outside.
Shen Yuanyin and Qin Yu opened their eyes at almost the exact same time. Their eyes bumped into each other and they then looked towards the cave entrance.
Since that aura had already passed into here, they must have been discovered.
“I will go take a look.” Shen Yuanyin stood up and walked out.
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, not saying too much. He was well aware of his own condition. Going out right now would only add to the chaos.
Still, although this woman’s aura seemed to have been restored a little, she didn’t seem very recovered to him at all.
He hoped there wouldn’t be any problems.
Bang –
Fierce fluctuations of aura erupted from outside the cave. Qin Yu’s complexion changed as Shen Yuanyin’s figure staggered backwards.
Her face was pale and her clothes were covered in blood. Her aura was extremely weakened.
But before he could respond, another person flew through the cave opening. Her dress was white and a veil covered her cold face. Her eyes were faint as if she were a goddess descended from the highest heavens.
Shen Yuanyin!
There were two of them…
As Qin Yu subconsciously widened his eyes, the Shen Yuanyin that returned to the cave first coldly said, “Who are you and why are you pretending to be me?”
The other Shen Yuanyin was without expression. “Die!”
With a flick of her sleeves, space instantly froze as ice spread outwards.
The bloodstained Shen Yuanyin raised her hands. Another extreme cold erupted outwards and both forces collided in midair.
Kacha –
Kacha –
In the air, vast sheets of ice appeared. The surfaces all around the cave began to be covered in a layer of frost.
A cold chill swept through Qin Yu before he immediately composed himself. No matter how he tried to sense it, these two Shen Yuanyins were exactly the same. But in this world, how could there be such a ridiculous farce of someone killing themselves?
His face immediately paled!
“Kill her!”
“Kill her!”
The two Shen Yuanyins faced him and spoke out in near unison. Their tones, the way their mouths moved, their postures, their expressions, none of it could be differentiated. It was like looking in a mirror.
“Undying, out of the two of them, which one is real?”
After several breaths of silence, Undying said, “I cannot clearly distinguish.”
In his senses, these two Shen Yuanyins were the same, as if they were exact copies.
Before Qin Yu could ask anything more, Mei Mei’s weak voice sounded out, “Neither I nor big sister purple moon can sense the difference. You must be careful!”
Beads of sweat started to form on Qin Yu’s forehead. If this entity could hide the truth from even Undying, this was sufficient proof that they were an absolutely terrifying being.
But if such a terrifying being had ill intent towards them, why not directly attack them? With his and Shen Yuanyin’s current conditions, there was simply nothing they could do to fight back. There was no need to go to such lengths for such a ridiculous play.
Unless…this other party felt some dread and didn’t dare to attack them directly. Qin Yu’s mind lit up. He immediately recalled the terrifying beam of light that appeared when he summoned the sea map.
This other party must have sensed the terrifying strength contained in that attack.
As Qin Yu realized this, he suddenly felt a much deeper urgency. He knew he needed to respond as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once the fake Shen Yuanyin saw through the two of them, all that remained would be death.
Since he couldn’t tell which Shen Yuanyin was real or fake, he could only bet on their character. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
His soul had been severely wounded and he almost lost his sensing abilities. Now, he could only release his mind as much as he could and sense the changes in the air.
The two ice-cold strengths were like two tall and haughty icebergs above a snowy field. Their aura fluctuations were exactly the same.
Slow it down…slow it down…
The frequencies between the fluctuations of aura were amplified infinitely.
Within the cave, the two Shen Yuanyins were without expression. They both knew that Qin Yu was making his decision right now.
Time slowly passed and the temperature grew increasingly cold. The layer of white frost around them grew thicker and thicker, covering Qin Yu.
Then, there was a loud explosion as white frost scattered out in all directions to reveal Qin Yu’s form. His pupils flashed open and he released an imposing momentum that shook the heart.
“Evil beast, you are seeking death!”
A deep shout like a thunderclap exploded within the cave. A sea map phantom began to slowly unfurl above Qin Yu’s head. He looked at the bloodstained Shen Yuanyin and his finger was about to fall down.
Bang –
Black water erupted, instantly shaking Shen Yuanyin back. Then, like a shadow, it drilled deep into the earth and vanished from sight.
