Chapter 399 - Weird Chill

There was fragrant fragrance in the air. At this moment, Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue were only two feet away, and they could clearly feel each other’s breath. They looked at each other, and the moonlight shining into the hut seemed to become tender.

Another gust of cold wind blew into the room. They could not keep warm under the thin quilt at all. They looked at each other, and there was tender light in Su Lianyue’s eyes. The night seemed to be more blurred.

Xiao Chen’s mind was in a mess at the moment. Even though it was him, he could not get used to the coldness of Chang Yin Cavity for he had come there not long. At this moment, looking at Su Lianyue’s charming appearance, he wanted to reach out and hug her slender waist…

A cold wind blew in once more. Su Lianyue shivered a bit, and Xiao Chen also shivered slightly, but it seemed not because of the cold. The cold wind kept blowing in the room. Xiao Chen whispered to her, “Hey… are you cold?”

Su Lianyue didn’t speak as if her thoughts were also in a mess. She was still thinking about Xiao Chen’s words “She would never be more important than the common life to him, but she must be more important than his own life…”

As for Xiao Chen, he was thinking about her story she told him just now that she and her sister had been afraid of cold since young and that they were bullied by others after they entered Blue-water Altar in helplessness… It seemed more chilling outside the window. The two approached each other little by little. They were so close that there was only the bed edge between them and they could clearly smell each other’s scent.

“Sir… are you cold too?” Su Lianyue’s cheeks were blushed as she said gently, and her eyes seemed to be more fluid. She had just got a chill, and she didn’t know why she wanted to make love with him and press her body his and stay with him forever.

Although Xiao Chen was a cultivator, he had not rid himself of the Deity of Three Corpses. He knew that it was natural for a man to adore a woman. At the moment, as he smelled the sweet and fragrant breaths of Su Lianyue, heard her tender voice, and looked at her watery eyes and ruddy cheeks, he found it even more difficult to control his desire. He said, “I… feel a little…”

As soon as he finished his words, Xiao Chen was caught by a chill, and it became more and more difficult for him to control his desire, which overwhelmed him like a flood breaking the dike. What he felt now was completely different from what he felt when she tried to charm him as a demon fox that day. He didn’t want to think about anything at the moment, such as Orthodox Path and Devil’s Practice, and he only wanted to hold Su Lianyue in his arms.

Both their eyes became gentle and watery as if their glances were to melt the moonlight in the room. Xiao Chen moved slightly, finally lifted the thin sheet on Su Lianyue’s body, gently placed his arm around her slender waist, and felt her soft and tender skin.

Su Lianyue trembled slightly all over as if she had been struck by a small electric shock, and she felt numb all over her body but she made no struggle and let Xiao Chen touch her body. At this moment, she found his eyes so affectionate, and both of them seemed to have changed into another person.

At this moment, they looked into each other’s eyes as if they were looking at their beloved lovers. Xiao Chen gently fondled upward along her body, and when he touched her soft breast, Su Lianyue groaned, and her face became more blushed and her eyes looked even tenderer. She whispered in a light voice, “Sir…” She reached out involuntarily to hug Xiao Chen’s neck.

With watery eyes, the two were about to embrace each other when a sudden noise came from the window. Another gust of cold wind blew into the room. Both of them got a chill and withdrew their hands quickly. Xiao Chen was startled and suddenly woke up, saying, “There is something wrong. This chill …”

Su Lianyue immediately came to her senses, and then she looked out of the west window, but she could see nothing except for the bleak moonlight that shone through the window.

Xiao Chen made a hush gesture, and they both held their breaths, but there was no sound outside. There was only a gust of cold air, a gust of extremely terrifying cold air that came from somewhere unknown but covered Mountain of Myriad Caves.

Xiao Chen’s heartbeat sped up. The cold air gave him an inexplicable feeling, like someone’s wondering Divine Sense which was extremely cold yet somewhat tender and mournful. A moment later, the cold air gradually dissipated, and Xiao Chen’s and Su Lianyue’s hands were soaked in cold sweats. At the moment, they regained the presence of their minds and found that they were so close to each other, and they immediately moved further from each other as if they had been shocked.

Su Lianyue held her Purple Jade Flute in a fluster and held it tightly in front of her chest. As soon as she uttered the word “you”, her face immediately flushed with shame. When she thought of that just now, the two of them almost… her heart beat fast.

Xiao Chen was also stunned. The chill he felt just now was extremely cold and full of resentment yet carried some subtle emotions. Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue were affected by the emotions inadvertently just now. The emotions were like wanting to be with someone forever.

Xiao Chen came back to his mind. So far, as he thought, the strongest person he had ever met was the man who froze himself in ice on the Violet Illusory Land in the Immortals’ League, and the owner of the chill he just felt was no weaker than this frozen man.

“Fairy, just now…”

Su Lianyue’s face was still flushed with shame, and she placed Purple Jade Flute tightly on her chest and said, “If you dare to come closer again, I will make you suffer a lot!”

“Uh, I…” Xiao Chen wanted to say something but felt that the more he explained, the more complicated the things would be. He simply turned over on the bed and fell onto the floor. With his legs crossed, he started to run his Qi inside, saying, “Sleep now. I’ll guard you here.”

Su Lianyue looked like a frightened fawn at this moment and guarded against him. Her body trembling slightly, she didn’t know why she would have such a strong desire for him just now. She felt she shared the will of that cold chill that she wanted to be someone forever and never be separated even after thousands of years…

The two spent the night like this. Xiao Chen meditated until morning, and he looked a little tired. Su Lianyue didn’t know when she fell asleep and was a little tired when she woke up. It was dawn, and it was time to go to the corpse-refining cave to extract Malicious Grudge. Xiao Chen put on his mask, changing into Han Yun’s appearance. Su Lianyue also changed her appearance into Han Yu’s.

The two did not say a word when they went outside. They worked all day until 11 pm. Due to what happened last night, they did not talk to each other all day. It was extremely exhausting to extract Rancorous Qi from the corpses. When Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue returned to their room, they changed into their original appearances, and their faces were full of tiredness.

They looked at each other and shivered in cold. Su Lianyue held Purple Jade Flute in her hands and said, “Don’t approach me tonight!”

Xiao Chen coughed and looked quite embarrassed. He put out the candlelight in the room, and the two of them went to bed separately. Moonlight shone into the room just like last night, and the familiar chill came back to them again. They shivered in cold once more and felt colder and colder. Su Lianyue kept trembling in cold as last night.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and kept reciting Mind-clearing Tactic in his mind, but when he thought of what happened last night, he breathed rapidly. The same was true of Su Lianyue. Biting her lips tightly, she could not control her emotions and wanted to make love with Xiao Chen as if a Divine Sense were leading her thoughts. Her mind was in a mess again.

“Sir…” Finally, Su Lianyue’s hands that tightly held Purple Jade Flute loosened slowly.

Xiao Chen tried hard to restrain his emotions and even wanted to knock himself out with one palm. If something really happened between them now, he was afraid that Su Lianyue would kill him when she became sober again, given her character. Once they caused a stir in the Corpse Refinery Sect, something terrible would happen to them.

Su Lianyue’s cheeks turned blushed, and her breathing gradually became quicker. She said intermittently, “Sir… I… I can’t put up with it anymore. This place is so weird. Let’s stop the investigation and leave here tomorrow…”

“Don’t speak. Treat me as your biggest enemy, the man that killed your sister…” Xiao Chen also had some difficulty in controlling himself, but he still tried to remain sober.

Su Lianyue moved her body slightly, making the wooden bed squeak continuously, and she groaned, saying, “I can’t hold on anymore … I’m so cold. Please… Please seal my acupuncture points now…”

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and struck her acupoints with two fingers. However, this was a weak strike, and both of them shivered when he touched her soft body. With a gentle groan, Su Lianyue was suddenly out of control and clutched his hand tightly, saying “Sir … if there is a next life, don’t forget me…”

Xiao Chen’s palms clung to the softest part of her body, and his thoughts became more and more chaotic. He didn’t know why this strange chill seemed to be able to control people’s minds. “Don’t forget me… Remember me forever… ”

At this moment, the two talked to each other like two intimate lovers, but Xiao Chen still managed to remain calm. He told himself that he couldn’t stain her innocence. He didn’t know whether he could keep sober like this in the next few days when he encountered this strange cold chill again.

Finally, the cold chill retreated, and the two separated quickly. They started to circulate their cultivation to keep their breath stable. In this way, they spent two nights in confusion. On the third night, the Rancorous Qi collection work was finally finished, and they could leave there tomorrow.

After these three days, the two of them were absent-minded. Due to what happened during the previous two nights, the relationship between them seemed to have become more and more subtle, and they rarely talked to each other. This night, they found a place to wash the Corpse Qi off their bodies and returned to their room. Tomorrow, they would set off to send the Grudge Cauldron to Tai Yin Cavity, and they would take the opportunity to sneak into the Internal Sect.

In the room, the candlelight flickered. Su Lianyue’s delicate brows furrowed, and her hair was moist. Xiao Chen didn’t speak, and he was just thinking about how to sneak into the Internal Sect tomorrow. By then, he would hand over the Grudge Cauldron to a person named Shen Qing. It seemed that his investigation had to start with Shen Qing.

This night, there was still moonlight in the room. Su Lianyue’s cheeks were slightly blushed, her hands clenched in front of her chest, and she looked even more charming. After a long while, the cold chill that visited them the previous two nights didn’t come this night as expected. The two looked at each other and felt a little strange. At the same time, they seemed to have some other feelings…

Early the next morning, they went to Elder Xu’s cave. Yan Liang and Qi Yan were both there. Sitting high on the chair in the hall, he looked much better than the other day. There was a black box on the stone platform beside him.

“Han Yun, Han Yu.”

“Yes,” Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue replied in unison.

Elder Xu nodded and continued, “As usual, after you send the Grudge Cauldron there, let them check it in your presence, and then you can leave. This is the Rancorous Qi that could be used for 15 years.” The elder raised his hand towards the black box beside him, and Qi Yan immediately took the box to Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue.

“Understand!” Xiao Chen received the box and checked inside it with his Divine Sense. He saw fifteen mini cauldrons inside the box, which was the right number, but he found Qi Yan’s eyes somewhat strange.

Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue carried the box and received two tokens. They didn’t say much as they left Chang Yin Cavity. A hundred miles away westward was where the Tai Yin Cavity was located. When Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue covered fifty miles, there was a rustling sound behind them. They stopped walking, and Xiao Chen said lightly, “Since you have followed us all the way, please show up now.”
