Today, I'll start the second chapter!
… …
Eastern suburbs of Beijing.
About fifty kilometers east of the city center and sixty kilometers south of the Miyun Reservoir, there was a small, secluded mountain village.
The surrounding mountains were all unknown wild mountains. Although the ridges were low, they seemed to rise and fall continuously. The greenery was also very good, with dense vegetation and green trees forming a forest. A clear river flowed slowly around the foot of the mountain. It could be said that the mountains were green and the water was clear.
Amidst the green mountains and clear water, there was an independent farmhouse with its back to the mountain and the water. The scenery was beautiful.
This farmhouse was one of the temporary residences of the Devil Sect's Holy Maiden, Ye Xingchen, in Beijing.
This place was far from the bustling city, thirty kilometers away from the East Sixth Ring Road. The nearest road was four to five kilometers away, and it was even separated by wild mountains. It was like a paradise.
As the saying went, the little hid in the wild.
With Ye Xingchen's special status, this place was naturally the most suitable for her to stay.
Normally, no one would come here to investigate, and with Ye Xingchen's qinggong, it would only take her half an hour to get to Beijing. If she wanted to leave, she could do so without any worries.
Unlike the villas in Qingshui City, this farmhouse was built entirely out of wood. The internal facilities were also made of bamboo from the mountains. It was simple and crude, but it gave off a refreshing feeling.
At this time, the farmhouse's doors were tightly shut, but the windows and doors were wide open. Ye Xingchen wasn't in the yard, but in the room. She sat on a bamboo chair facing the window, enjoying the cool night breeze as she waited for Ling Yun's arrival.
On the wooden table in front of Ye Xingchen was a long and narrow jade box. It was the one that Ling Yun had given her, and it was open.
Inside the jade box lay five sets of jade jewelry. Under the moonlight, they glowed with multicolored brilliance, dazzling and beautiful.
Beside the jade box were two translucent green sculptures. They were the gifts that Ling Yun had given Ye Xingchen. The sculptures of Ling Yun and Ye Xingchen were vivid and lifelike, facing each other.
On the bamboo bed behind Ye Xingchen, clean bedding was neatly folded. There were two piles of clothes on it. One was pure black cloth woven from the Golden Black Devilish Silk.
The other pile contained three complete sets of clothes, which were also neatly folded. The clothes were black and shiny, and were actually shining with flowing light. One look and anyone could tell that they were of excellent quality.
Ye Xingchen wasn't wearing a black veil, and her peerless beauty was on full display. No one knew what she was thinking, but the corners of her beautiful lips curled up in a smile, and she would occasionally let out a light chuckle.
To Ye Xingchen, this was a rare moment of leisure that belonged to her.
The last time she followed the Green Bird to the Assassins Organization in Beijing, she didn't expect to run into Ling Yun saving his father. It was also because of this that she confirmed Ling Yun's true identity. He was the descendant of the Ling Family, the son of her master.
To Ye Xingchen, confirming Ling Yun's identity was the most important matter.
She hoped he was, she feared he wasn't, and he really was.
After receiving Ling Yun's gift, Ye Xingchen's state of mind had undergone an earth-shattering change in the few days since they parted ways.
Because he had personally removed her veil, Ye Xingchen would no longer need to use a veil to cover her face from now on.
Ling Yun's performance was sufficiently strong, many times stronger than Ye Xingchen had imagined. From now on, she no longer needed to worry about the Ling Family.
Ling Xiao had been successfully rescued, the Green Bird had regained consciousness, and their common enemy, Sikong Tu, had also been beheaded.
Ling Yun had returned to the Ling Family, the Ling Family would rise again, her master would be saved, and freedom from the clutches of the Devil Sect was just around the corner.
After Ye Xingchen parted with Ling Yun, she immediately sent this news back to the Devil Sect's headquarters through secret channels and reported it to Yin Qingxuan.
Ye Xingchen didn't know how Yin Qingxuan spent that day, but she knew that after hearing the news, Yin Qingxuan found a place to stay alone for a day and a night, drinking eight jars of aged wine.
Then, Ye Xingchen received the news from the Green Phoenix. Yin Qingxuan wanted her to support the Ling Family and assist Ling Yun with all her might. She would kill anyone who stood in her way!
If Ling Yun wanted money, give it to him! If Ling Yun needed resources, give it to him! If Ling Yun needed manpower, give it to him!
If he wanted manpower, give it to him! If he wanted money, give it to him!
"Pfft …"
Ye Xingchen suddenly burst into laughter. Her beautiful eyes blinked as she murmured, "If he asked for me, I wonder if you would give it to him?"
As she thought about it, Ye Xingchen floated up and looked out the window. It was already close to midnight, but Ling Yun still hadn't arrived.
"Why isn't that guy here yet? I wonder what I'm waiting for …"
"He's here!"
A light laugh rang out from outside the courtyard. Ling Yun's voice rang out beside her ear, and the air outside the courtyard flowed rapidly, sending dust flying everywhere.
Chester flapped his wings and landed on the ground. Ling Yun flew down from his back and landed in the courtyard.
Seeing Ling Yun's appearance, Ye Xingchen blushed. Luckily, she hadn't said the word 'anxious'. Otherwise, if that guy heard it, he would definitely make fun of her again.
"Swoosh!"
After Ling Yun landed, he ignored Chester and Mo Wudao behind him and teleported into the room with Fulgurating Shadows. He stared at Ye Xingchen.
He chuckled and said, "You must be anxious from waiting, right? Did you miss me? "
Ye Xingchen's beautiful eyes glanced at Ling Yun. She was secretly delighted, but she said indifferently, "Tch, don't flatter yourself. I'm just impatient from waiting."
Big Brother Yun was immediately dealt a heavy blow.
However, Ling Yun had long understood Ye Xingchen's style. He didn't mind at all. Sweeping his gaze across the room, he saw the bamboo chair in front of the window and sat down on it.
The lower part of his body was slightly warm, and there was an especially pleasant fragrance lingering in the air.
Ling Yun was instantly intoxicated. He leaned back slightly and narrowed his eyes, enjoying the place where Ye Xingchen had just sat.
Seeing the jade box and the two statues on the table, Ling Yun said carelessly, "You still say you didn't miss me? Then why did you take these things out to look at?"
Ye Xingchen was embarrassed that Ling Yun had seen through her. Flustered, she said carelessly, "Don't be so smug. I haven't touched these things since I brought them back."
After saying that, Ye Xingchen became even more depressed. This was because even she didn't believe her own lies.
Hearing this, Ling Yun chuckled and didn't expose her.
Outside the courtyard, Mo Wudao was swayed by Ling Yun in the air. He lost his balance and landed on the ground with great difficulty, almost falling flat on his face.
After stabilizing himself, he immediately shouted, "F * ck, why didn't you tell me you were coming down? I almost fell to my death …"
As he spoke, Mo Wudao was about to rush into the house. He wanted to settle the score with Ling Yun.
"Little Daoist, come with me quickly."
However, before he could move, Chester grabbed him with one arm and flew out of the courtyard with a flap of his wings, disappearing without a trace.
As Ling Yun's loyal servant, Chester's awareness was much stronger than Mo Wudao's. He swore that he would never be a third wheel.
Inside the room, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but giggle at this scene.
She turned around and asked, "This little Daoist is the one who calculated Uncle Ling's whereabouts, right? His name is Mo Wudao? "
Ling Yun replied lazily, "Since you've already done your research, why are you still asking me? That's right, it's him. "
Ye Xingchen pursed her lips and reminded Ling Yun, "Mao Mountain's Righteous Sect is actually very strong. Their hidden power isn't much weaker than Mount Longhu's Celestial Master Abode. It's just that their people like to travel the world and focus on cultivation, so they don't stay on Mao Mountain. "
Ling Yun hummed through his nostrils to express his understanding.
Ye Xingchen reminded Ling Yun out of goodwill, but Ling Yun continued to lazily ignore her. She immediately became angry and scolded angrily, "Hey, I'm talking to you! Look at how half-dead you are!"
Ling Yun finally turned around and stared at Ye Xingchen's beautiful face for a long time before saying, "I've been really busy and tired these past few days. Can't I rest here for a while?"
Ling Yun's words weren't false.
Ever since he and Ye Xingchen had parted ways, Ling Yun had been working non-stop and hadn't had a chance to rest. Although he had gained a lot during this period of time, even if Ling Yun was a cultivator, his body wouldn't be able to endure such exhaustion.
Moreover, in order to refine the three spatial rings tonight, Ling Yun had used up more than two hundred drops of divine energy he had accumulated over the past few days. He was long exhausted and in need of rest.
One reason was that he truly liked Ye Xingchen. The other reason was that every time Ling Yun was with Ye Xingchen, he would feel an inexplicable sense of security.
So much so that he couldn't muster up any energy and just wanted to lie down lazily.
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen finally gave Ling Yun a serious look. She found that Ling Yun's face was indeed a little pale, and there was a deep sense of exhaustion between his brows. She actually felt an inexplicable sense of heartache.
Ye Xingchen floated forward and asked gently, "Are you really tired?"
"Mm."
"You've been working so hard, how can you not be tired?"
"I can't help it. I'm a man after all."
"Don't be too tired."
"I know. After this battle with the Chen Clan, I should be able to rest for a while."
"Why don't you sleep here for a while?"
Ling Yun didn't respond. After chatting with Ye Xingchen for a while, he actually really fell asleep just like that.
This time, he didn't circulate any techniques. He let down all his guard and even retracted his divine sense, falling into a deep sleep.
Ye Xingchen was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"This guy …"
Ye Xingchen's heart surged. She suddenly floated to the side of the bed, took out a thin blanket, and gently covered Ling Yun's body with it.
Then, she stood by Ling Yun's side just like that, guarding him and carefully driving away the mosquitoes.
Ling Yun slept for a whole five hours, and Ye Xingchen also stood by his side for five hours.
It wasn't until five in the morning when the sky was bright that Ling Yun finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes.
The bright light outside the window was very dazzling. Ling Yun blinked again before opening his eyes again.
"Eh, I actually slept for so long. The sky is already bright?"
Ye Xingchen giggled and rolled her eyes at him. She said coquettishly, "Yeah, you slept so soundly. I even wiped your saliva several times!"
