Chapter 21: He Can't Leave Here
Huo Yan frowned and looked at the absent-minded Yu Shu, "Yu Shu, what's wrong with you?" β
Yu Shu, who is particularly enthusiastic about alchemy on weekdays, is frequently distracted today.
When Yu Shu heard her name, she instantly came back to her senses, "Huh? β
She shook her head and whispered, "It's okay. β
Ji Jue was meditating and cultivating not far away, and when he heard the movement here, he slowly opened his eyes, "If you can't meditate, you don't have to waste time here." β
Yu Shu's eyes darkened, Huo Yan frowned, smacked his mouth, and he also agreed, "Let's get here first today." β
Yu Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, she always had the task in mind, and she would always be distracted.
She bent down slightly, bowed, and exited the Yuxi Cave.
Huo Yan looked at Yu Shu's preoccupied appearance, and couldn't help but look at Ji Jue and asked, "What happened to you last night?" β
It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as he mentioned it, Ji Jie's face turned up, and he said coldly, "It's not all good things you do." β
Seeing Ji Jue's appearance, Huo Yan seemed to have tasted a cat, he smiled very much, and said cheaply, "Oops! Tell me what happened to you all last night. β
Ji Jue glanced at Huo Yan, and didn't want to pay attention to him at all, he got up and left.
"Eh, eh!" Huo Yan didn't even respond to a few calls, but he wasn't annoyed.
I saw Huo Yan shrug his shoulders, clasped his hands in front of his chest, the corners of his mouth hooked, and smiled evilly.
Ji Jue, who came out of Yuxi Cave, didn't go anywhere, and went directly to find Yu Shu.
He quietly walked behind Yu Shu, "What are you thinking?" β
It stands to reason that with Yu Shu's cultivation, she naturally can't feel Ji Jue, but because of the heart-to-heart contract, she instantly knew that the person behind her was Ji Jue.
"I'm ......" Yu Shu opened her mouth to say halfway through, and then stopped.
She really didn't know what to say.
Ji Jue raised his eyebrows, looking at Yu Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he guessed, "Does this matter have anything to do with me?" β
Yu Shu's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Ji Jue in surprise, "How do you know?" β
"Guess, looking at your embarrassed look, it probably has something to do with me." Ji Jue sat next to Yu Shu, his expression was as usual, and he still looked cold and arrogant.
"If there's something I have to go out and do, what do I do?" Yu Shu lifted her eyes, looked at Ji Jie's side face, and cautiously probed.
"Then do it." Ji Jue's brows furrowed, as if he didn't understand Yu Shu's concerns.
Yu Shu bit her lower lip, "I mean leaving the Demon Prison Realm and returning to the Immortal Cultivation Continent." β
"Then do it." Ji Jue tilted his head slightly, looked at Yu Shu, and repeated, "Didn't you say it, it's something that must be done." β
Yu Shu didn't expect Ji Jue to agree so happily, and a little uncomfortable feeling floated in her heart.
"What about us?" After Yu Shu blurted out, she regretted it a little.
Ji Jue's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, as if he liked the word 'we' very much.
Yu Shu's eyes fluttered, and she hurriedly remedied, "I mean, our heart-to-heart contract, didn't you say at the beginning that you couldn't leave if you didn't untie this." β
The corners of Ji Jue's mouth curled up a small arc, and then it was fleeting, "So you've been bored with this?" β
Yu Shu's head hung down, and she responded in a disguised low, "Hmm." β
Immediately, she heard Ji Jie's laughter, she raised her head suddenly, and just wanted to ask what to laugh at, but she crashed directly into Ji Jie's black eyes.
There were a few bits of scarlet light in the black eyes, and the red light was as red as the swaying lotus of the day, causing people to fall.
Yu Shu's eyes flickered, her heartbeat was disrupted, and she was just about to say something when she heard Ji Jue's magnetic voice sound.
"Don't worry, I'll be there for you always."
Yu Shu's heart suddenly accelerated because of these words, and she looked away unnaturally and swallowed her saliva.
She thought it was so strange, she thought that Ji Jue would say to go back quickly or give her some life-saving magic weapons, but he seemed to see through her little thoughts.
came for no reason, he will always accompany her.
It filled Yu Shu's heart at once.
"When are you leaving?" Ji Jue's voice sounded again.
Yu Shu coughed twice and said, "Let's go in a few days, then let's just say it, I'll inform you when the time comes, I'll go and pack up my things first!" β
After saying that, Yu Shu ran away as quickly as she could.
Ji Jue looked at Yu Shu's figure and fled, and couldn't help but smile.
------
"What!" Huo Yan exclaimed, "You're leaving?!" β
Yu Shu wanted to come, but she still had to tell Huo Yan, after all, Huo Yan was still her alchemy master.
Huo Yan's brows furrowed, and he took two steps back and forth in the room, "Does Ji Jue know about this?" β
Yu Shu nodded, "Master, he knows." β
"He agreed?" Huo Yan suddenly stopped and asked with raised eyebrows.
Yu Shu just thought that Huo Yan couldn't accept what she was going to do, so she nodded again with some embarrassment.
This made Huo Yan's heart sink to the bottom, and his face immediately darkened, and he stared at Yu Shu with heavy eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
Yu Shu was stared at by Huo Yan's eyes a little uncomfortable, "Huh...... Don't be too upset, I'll be back soon. β
Huo Yan lowered his eyes, and he said slowly, "The seal of this Demon Hellrealm is only useful for demon beasts, demon cultivators, and ghost cultivators, but useless for human cultivators. β
"But Ji Jue, as a human cultivator, has been here for a full nine hundred years and has never left for a day, why?"
When Yu Shu heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and she shook her head blankly.
Nine hundred years? Has Ji Du been here for 900 years?
Huo Yan's expression was slightly cold, "Because he can't leave here." β
A hint of surprise crossed Yu Shu's eyes, "What does this mean?" β
Huo Yan didn't answer immediately, he took Yu Shu's hand and flew towards Yuxi Cave.
He came to the Yuxi Cave and groped around the wall a few times, and a stone door hidden in the wall opened.
Yu Shu's mouth opened slightly unconsciously, she had never known that there was a dark room here after staying here for so long.
Huo Yan pulled Yu Shu and walked in.
As soon as the two of them stepped into a foot, something suddenly lit up, and strange runes and cumbersome lines spread all the way to the outside of the cave, with no end in sight.
"ThisβThis is the formation?" Yu Shu always felt a sense of familiarity when she looked at this formation, but when she thought about it, she couldn't think of anything.
"This is a formation, a formation that has trapped Ji Du for nine hundred years." Huo Yan looked at the formation on the ground, "He can't leave this Demon Prison Realm, let alone let people discover and destroy this formation." β
"A hundred years ago, I jumped into this demon prison and was rescued by Ji Jie, I stayed in the ghost prison hall and discovered this secret by mistake."
He was also directly driven out of the Ghost Prison Palace by Ji Jue because of this.
"Yu Shu, Ji Jue is alone, and he has guarded this for nine hundred years." Huo Yan turned to look at Yu Shu with a sincere expression, and just as he wanted to continue, he heard someone scold him.
"Huoyan!"
Two ropes made of spiritual power tied up the two and dragged them out.
Ji Jue's eyes showed a cold light, and he looked at the two people on the ground with an unkind expression.
But Huo Yan still stubbornly continued, "Yu Shu, if you leave, Ji Jue will become a person again, he can't leave here, and no one can get close to here." β
"But you're different, the heart-to-heart contract allows you to share your destiny, and only you can stay by his side in the world."
Yu Shu's expression was stunned for a moment, her mouth opened and closed slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
Huo Yan was still trying to say something, but Ji Jue blocked his mouth with spiritual power, and he kept whimpering.
Ji Jue coldly gave Huo Yan an eye knife, and Huo Yan instantly quieted down.
He picked up Yu Shu from the ground and took her out.
Ji Jue frowned, "You have to forget everything you have seen and heard, and you are not allowed to mention it to others." β
Yu Shu's eyelashes trembled, and she asked eagerly, "So what Huo Yan said is true?" β
"Have you been trapped here for nine hundred years? Alone? β
Ji Jie's eyebrows flickered, and he didn't answer directly, "Don't believe Huo Yan's words, I volunteered to stay here." β
"What I just told you is true, you don't have to worry about me having my own way out."
Seeing that Yu Shu was still worried, Ji Jue smiled, "I never lie to people, you pack your things first, since you want to go out, let's leave early." β
Yu Shu wanted to say something, but was blocked by Ji Du, and he called, "Xi'er." β
Xi'er appeared in the air, saluted, and took Yu Shu's hand, and he said in a milky voice, "Princess, I'll take you to clean up your things." β
After Xi'er pulled Yu Shu away, Ji Jue returned to Yuxi Cave.
He looked at Huo Yan who was tied into a silkworm chrysalis with cold eyes, and with a movement of his fingers, his spiritual power was retracted.
Huo Yan sat on the ground, looking a little aggrieved, he rubbed his arm, "I know I didn't do this properly. But if Yushu really goes out and doesn't come back, what will you do? β
Ji Jue's eyes flashed with a dark light, "This king has his own way." β
Huoyan pouted and muttered, "What can you do." β
"Since you know that you are wrong, then you will atone for your sins." Ji Jue's eyes were half-closed, and he said neatly.
Huo Yan raised his eyes to look at Ji Du in confusion, and then heard Ji Du say.
"You are here, guarding the ghost prison hall of this king for this king."
Huo Yan's heart was shocked, "Do you want to ......?"
Ji Jue smiled, "You're right, it's rare for this king to have a heart-warming person, how could he let it go so easily." β
The two exchanged a tacit look, and everything was silent.
