Chapter 399 - Weird Chill (2/2)

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.”
