Chapter 155 Zhang Chi Takes A Big Step
Chapter 155: A Big Step Taken by Zhang Chi
The pair of bells in Jiang Qingyun's hand is called the Soul-Subduing Bell.
When the bell rings, it can subdue souls and cause great pain to people.
Among them, the Soul-Subduing Bell consists of a master bell and a servant bell. The master bell is worn by the person and does not ring normally. The person who holds the servant bell can make it ring by using spiritual power, causing the master bell to emit sound, thus causing great pain to the wearer and achieving a control effect.
When a child cries, the mother gets a headache, which is why the Soul-Subduing Bell is named as such.
Of course, this Law Weapon also has its drawbacks, which is why Jiang Qingyun didn't use it at first.
Because every time the bell is used, it damages the wearer's soul.
And each time it is used, the cost is high.
After three uses, the wearer will become an idiot.
Jiang Qingyun has ways to kill Zi Mian, but what she needs is for Zi Mian to do things for her.
If Zi Mian's power is greatly damaged or even dies, what use would she be?
But since Zi Mian is unyielding, Jiang Qingyun can only resort to this method.
Jiang Qingyun also considered using a slave seal, but she will be leaving soon, and the seal will become ineffective. It would be useless to use it, so she might as well use the Soul-Subduing Bell.
"Put it on."
Jiang Qingyun said coldly.
If Zi Mian disobeys or tries to resist, she can easily control her.
What makes Zi Mian most feared is her endless puppets. No one knows how far away they are or how many there are.
And now that her true form is exposed, Jiang Qingyun can deal with her as long as she has the means.
Of course, Zi Mian doesn't resist. She happily takes the bell and wears it around her neck.
"Thank you, sister. I really like it."
Jiang Qingyun: "..."
Does she not know how to write the word "death"?
How dare she provoke like this?
Suppressing her anger, Jiang Qingyun said, "Guard Zhang Chi for me for ten years. After ten years, I will come back to remove the bell for you."
"Why ten years?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just agree. I will give the bell to him and tell him your identity.
I advise you not to let the bell ring or try to take it."
Zi Mian: "..."
I've already been marked with a slave seal, so what's there to fear about another bell?
It doesn't matter!
What she cares more about is that Qing Mian will come back to find her in ten years.
Although she reluctantly lets Qing Mian leave, she doesn't stop her. Whether she can stop her or not depends on Zhang Chi.
"Understood, I'll wait for you to come back in ten years."
Jiang Qingyun: "..."
Zi Mian's calmness makes Jiang Qingyun unable to determine if she really has control over her.
This threat should be effective, right?
Anyway, whether it's effective or not, when Zhang Chi knows her identity later and is on guard, coupled with the bell, there shouldn't be any danger.
Forget it, let's not worry about her for now.
The next thing to worry about is how to face Zhang Chi, which gives Jiang Qingyun a headache.
How should she appear and what should she say? It's all giving Jiang Qingyun a headache.
However, after much consideration, Jiang Qingyun still believes that she should go see him, be honest, and say goodbye.
Perhaps... after Zhang Chi knows what she has done, he will be devastated and find it difficult to accept her, but...
Forget it, there are no "buts".
Just thinking about that result makes Jiang Qingyun's heart ache, and she can't move her feet at all.
The closer she gets to Zhang Chi, the more afraid she becomes.
"Are you still considered a demon?"
The Magic Mirror can't stand it anymore and keeps babbling in Jiang Qingyun's arms. Is this what you call a demon's autonomous and unrestrained heart?
Jiang Qingyun proves with her own example that the Demon Race's approach of severing emotions and love is correct.
"Shut up, I can do it!"
Jiang Qingyun slowly moved outside Zhang Chi's courtyard and stopped again.
Magic Mirror: "..."
The Magic Mirror is speechless, and Gu Youyou is also speechless.
Jiang Qingyun didn't conceal her aura. Among the same kind, Gu Youyou, being of a higher rank, naturally sensed Jiang Qingyun's presence long ago.
She came, but didn't enter. What does this mean?
She and Zhang Chi were joking around, but Zhang Chi just smiled.
"This is the emotion that you Demon Race doesn't understand. She is anxious and fearful because she has developed feelings."
"That's terrifying."
"Are you saying that I am emotion or not?"
Gu Youyou: "..."
Both are terrifying, both are terrifying.
"If someone falls in love with you, they will really suffer."
"If you say that, aren't you afraid of falling in love with me in the future?"
"Ah, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Gu Youyou spat out in anger, showing how resistant she is.
Zhang Chi smiled kindly and made another note for Gu Youyou.
This is the second time.
There won't be a third time. My patience has its limits.
For now, let's just remember it.
It's not a big deal that Jiang Qingyun hasn't come in. The night is short, and after tonight, Jiang Qingyun will definitely leave, and Zhang Chi has no intention of keeping her.
The shorter the time people spend together, the more precious that time is.
Being together every day takes a toll on both emotions and physical well-being.
Jiang Qingyun has her own things to do, and Zhang Chi's choice is to let her fly, so that when she takes off, he will have more connections.
A man should indeed strive for self-improvement, but on the path of self-improvement, one should not refuse a little help from a wealthy woman.
If Jiang Qingyun doesn't come out now, she will gradually lose her courage over time. Zhang Chi can only think of a way to lure her out.
Taking out two jars of wine from under the bed, Zhang Chi wastes no time and starts drinking.
First, he drinks until he's slightly tipsy, showing signs of being drunk, and naturally she will come.
As for saying lines while drunk, there's no need for that.
It's too contrived and fake.
It's been so many days already, true sadness should be silent.
No need for words, just show a lifeless gaze, drinking wine like water, one image is worth countless lines.
The wine brewed by the Pill Cauldron Sect is indeed good. Zhang Chi used public funds to buy it in the name of entertaining Long Yan, and there are still two jars left.
Today happens to be a good opportunity to entertain the former sect leader.
Jiang Qingyun stops outside the courtyard, hesitating for a long time, finally thinking of finding out what Zhang Chi is doing before deciding how to make her entrance.
In any case, she should delay revealing herself as much as possible.
Her senses extend, and she smells a strong scent of alcohol.
It's so late, why is he drinking alone?
Jiang Qingyun suppresses her aura and quietly approaches, looking through the window, she sees Zhang Chi sitting alone at the table, no food to accompany the wine, and no one to drink with.
His eyes are lifeless, numbly drinking the wine, as if the wine has made him numb.
Such a decadent appearance is completely different from the gentle and calm demeanor he showed before.
One must pretend in front of others, and true self is revealed behind closed doors.
Jiang Qingyun quickly associates the reason behind this. Zhang Chi probably hasn't let go, but in order to protect the Sword Sect, he can only force himself to show composure and calmness. However, when it's late at night and quiet, he can no longer bear it.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Qingyun also feels extremely sad.
For the sake of her demonic cultivation, she has ultimately hurt Zhang Chi.
Should she really tell him the truth?
On this question, Jiang Qingyun keeps going back and forth.
A certain magic mirror has already laid flat, love is whatever.
Zhang Chi's eyes are empty, but he has indeed been drinking.
This wine, I have to say, gets you drunk quickly.
If there were even a single peanut, he wouldn't be this drunk.
But Jiang Qingyun can really hold her breath!
I'm almost finished with this jar, if you don't come soon, I'll really get drunk.
In order to force Jiang Qingyun to come out, Zhang Chi has no choice but to stand up and stagger towards the bed. One step, two steps, on the third step, he falls straight down.
This fall is actually nothing serious. After all, he's a cultivator, he won't die just from hitting his head on the bed board.
But Jiang Qingyun can't bear to see Zhang Chi fall like this. While her mind is still hesitating, her body has already moved.
When she sees Zhang Chi falling, she finally moves, and before Zhang Chi hits the ground, he falls into her arms.
Hehe, the plan worked!
Zhang Chi finally hugged Jiang Qingyun, which was a remarkable step.
With Jiang Qingyun's support, Zhang Chi stood up and saw Jiang Qingyun wearing a mask, his voice trembling: "Who... are you?"
Jiang Qingyun didn't speak, but Zhang Chi reached for her mask and she instinctively dodged.
"Master, it's you, right?"
Jiang Qingyun remained silent.
Since she had revealed herself, there was no retreat, but it took some courage to take off the mask. However, Zhang Chi immediately recognized her identity.
This child, is he so clever even when he's drunk?
Helpless, Jiang Qingyun had no choice but to take off the mask.
When she revealed her true face, Zhang Chi hugged her tightly again.
"Am I not dreaming?"
Afraid that the person in front of him was an illusion, Zhang Chi held on tightly, as if trying to grasp this illusion completely.
The smell of alcohol all over Zhang Chi's body rushed into Jiang Qingyun's nose and mouth. It wasn't a pleasant smell, but it made Jiang Qingyun feel the strongest aura from Zhang Chi. She wanted to break free, but Zhang Chi held on too tightly. She was afraid that if she exerted force, she would hurt Zhang Chi.
"Rebel, let go of your master quickly."
Blushing, Jiang Qingyun scolded.
Zhang Chi turned a deaf ear and continued to hold on. Since he had already hugged her, there was no reason to let go.
In theory, there should be a crying scene here to make the emotions more sincere.
But Zhang Chi was good at everything except crying.
Moreover, he was so happy and excited to finally openly embrace his cold and glamorous master that he couldn't cry.
However...
The slight trembling of his body gave Jiang Qingyun a misunderstanding.
Originally, she felt a little shy being held by Zhang Chi, but now she couldn't bear to force him to let go.
"Don't be sad, I'm back."
Jiang Qingyun gently stroked Zhang Chi's back to comfort him.
Under her comfort, Zhang Chi's mood gradually calmed down.
However, he still didn't let go at all.
Jiang Qingyun thought that it would be fine to wait a little longer. Since they were already hugging, a little more time wouldn't make a difference.
But as she listened to Zhang Chi's breathing gradually becoming calm, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Wow, you fell asleep just like that?
This was completely different from the scene Jiang Qingyun had imagined.
She thought that when they met, they would probably start like they were now, crying tears of joy, then hugging each other, and then they would talk about what had happened.
She was already worried about what to say during this stage.
As a result, Zhang Chi fell asleep directly.
Helpless, Jiang Qingyun sighed. Since Zhang Chi had fallen asleep, she gently moved him and helped him onto the bed!
