After Cultivating With the Enemy
Chapter 46:
Ji Chaoyun took Feng Qi and walked towards the back mountain.
Seeing that he had completely left the crowd, Feng Qi smiled and said, "Are you taking me to elope?"
Ji Chaoyun's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He didn't look back, Feng Qi only felt that the hand holding his wrist was so cold that his fingertips were so pale that there was almost no blood.
Feng Qi sighed and shook his head, broke the other party's hand, and squeezed it into his palm: "I didn't mean to force you. If you don't accept it, nothing will happen. Why bother with yourself?"
"When nothing happened?" Ji Chaoyun pulled out his hand, his voice low, "Can you do it?"
Feng Qi smiled bitterly: "Am I doing this all the time?"
Ji Chaoyun's fingertips trembled, as if being pierced into his heart by a sharp knife, he was delayed little by little by the pain, even his breathing could involve severe pain.
Feng Qi stared at the other person's back and asked softly, "What do you want to say to me?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun pressed her lips tightly and couldn't say a word.
Feng Qi didn't urge, but quietly waited for his answer.
"This matter...I'm wrong." After a long time, Ji Chaoyun said in a dumb voice, "We are only doing a show today. Tomorrow I will say goodbye to Grandpa Shu. You don't have to help me any more about merits. When you leave the banyan family, you Go back to the college."
Feng Qi narrowed his eyes: "Are you driving me away?"
Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "When I return to the academy, I will ask the Inspectorate to change the disciple courtyard, and I will not appear in front of you again.
Feng Qi's expression condensed: "Do you think this is enough?"
"..."
"Answer me Ji Chaoyun, do you think that if we avoid me, we can do nothing but nothing happened?"
Ji Chaoyun did not answer.
Feng Qi broke his shoulders and looked down at the other's drooping, red eyes: "If you really think so, why don't you dare to look at me? Why are you so sad?"
"It's late, Chaoyun."
"In the past few months we have known each other, you have had countless opportunities to push me away, but you didn't. Do you think that as long as you avoid me, I can forget you?" Feng Qi sneered, "Ji Chaoyun, three hundred years, you Have you forgotten Feng Xiao?"
Ji Chaoyun's body trembled heavily.
"The year you met Feng Xiao, you were younger than I am now." Feng Qi said, "You were so reckless back then, why don't you think I can't do it? You can wait for three hundred years, why do you think I can't wait."
He softened his voice and said softly: "How strange, when I first saw you, it was like being pushed by someone in the dark. It told me to go to you, accompany you, and guard You, protect you. Sometimes I even feel that I stayed in the college for so many years just to wait for that day."
Ji Chaoyun's shoulders trembled lightly, his eyes were sore, and his eyes were blurred.
"I know you can't answer me now, it's okay, I can wait." Feng Qi said Wen, "Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred years... That guy has known you for three months, so you waited three hundred. Years, what does it matter if I wait for you?"
"But I...I..." Ji Chaoyun's voice was shaking horribly, "There will be no results, I simply..."
"If you want to say that you don't feel anything at all for me, I won't believe it." Feng Qi sighed and gently rubbed Ji Chaoyun's head, "Thinking about how to break with me for two days, you That’s how he performed in the end? You can’t even pretend, I’ve never seen a dragon stupid than you.”
"..."
"You take the responsibility on yourself, and you feel sorry for him and me, but where is your fault? I am not good, but I have been pestering you." Feng Qi's hand moved slowly down, holding Ji Chaoyun Cold hands, "I don't know what he thinks, but my little dragon is not wrong with me. Don't be uncomfortable, you have to be really unhappy... This is for you."
Feng Qi took off the bracelet and tied it to Ji Chaoyun's wrist: "Use a whip to slap me to relieve my anger. I've beaten you before, and now you beat me back, okay?"
Ji Chaoyun finally couldn't help it, tears burst into his eyes.
How could there be such a gentle person in this world.
He was obviously the one who felt wronged, but instead came to comfort him, fearing that he would be uncomfortable.
But the better Feng Qi treated him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The past three hundred years ago was true, and the waiting three hundred years was true. After coming to the academy, it was also true to get along with him in the past few months. He knew that there was someone else in his heart, but he was still uncontrollably attracted to this person.
He never noticed these, until two days ago that night, the kiss that was about to fall.
That Ye Fengqi's attitude revealed to the light of the sky what he has always been reluctant to think about and dare not think about.
He didn't understand why things happened like this.
How could he be like this...
Ji Chaoyun buried his head deeply, trembling all over, biting his lower lip and letting out a few chokes.
"Why... why are you crying so hard?" Feng Qi was frightened by his tears at once. He was a little confused. He wanted to hug him but didn't dare. He tentatively supported his shoulders, "Don't do this, don't do this... Is it good? It's not your fault. Don't cry."
His Royal Highness Feng Er hadn't experienced this kind of situation, and he didn't even coax people. He was messy and comforted a bunch of words, making people cry more and more fiercely.
Ji Chaoyun has never had such extreme vents in his life, not when he was separated from Feng Xiao, not when he was expelled from the dragon clan, nor did he accidentally die in his previous life.He was trembling all over, and soon he didn't even have the strength to stand, and slowly sat down on his knees.
He lowered his head, tears rolled into the grass.
Feng Qi had never seen Ji Chaoyun look like this, but felt that it was more painful than slapped him with a whip.He didn't care whether he would irritate this person again, squatted down and held him tightly in his arms, holding down the back of Ji Chaoyun's head and letting him lean on his shoulder: "I understand, you don't want to beat me, you just want me Life."
Feng Qi sighed, only to feel that he was really eaten to death by this person, closed his eyes and abandoned himself: "Cry, cry, don't feel sad anymore."
It's a pity that Ji Chaoyun couldn't cry happily in the end. After a while, Feng Qi heard footsteps rushing in the distance.
When they escape from the wedding ceremony, the tribe will naturally chase them.Feng Qi didn't want people to see what Ji Chaoyun looked like now, and most of them didn't want others to see him in such an embarrassed appearance.
He pondered for a moment, his arms wrapped around Ji Chaoyun's waist and rose into the air.
The two fell steadily on the branch.
Ji Chaoyun also felt someone approaching, but he cried too fiercely before, and couldn't stop it for a while. He could only hold onto Feng Qi's sleeves and bury his head deeply, trying his best to suppress the slight sobbing.
After a while, several members of the tribe appeared in sight.
The few people looked eager, but they didn't look like they were looking for someone. They walked forward quickly and quickly disappeared between the jungle.
Feng Qi felt something strange instinctively, and frowned slightly.
"That direction..." Ji Chaoyun whispered, revealing red eyes and a small half of his face from Feng Qi's clothes.
Feng Qi didn't care that his wedding clothes had been wet from crying, and wiped the tears on the other party's face with his sleeves: "What's the matter?"
Ji Chaoyun took a back and rubbed his eyes: "I remember, leaving the Banyan Tree tribe from the exit over there, that's the barren mountain."
That barren mountain that was originally covered by dense fog, but now the fog has dissipated, is extremely dangerous.
Xiaolong hasn't coaxed him well yet, Feng Qi really doesn't want to take care of other things at this time.But the Banyan Tree clan is kind to Ji Chaoyun, if something really happens, I'm afraid he will not feel well in his heart either.Feng Qi lowered his head and asked, "Go back and ask?"
Ji Chaoyun nodded: "Yeah."
"But you are like this..."
Ji Chaoyun had never cried like this before, so he cried fiercely.At this moment, it finally stopped, but there were still drops of water on the eyelashes, and a pair of eyes were red and moist, like a rabbit, and looked pitiful.
Feng Qi looked away impatiently, and settled his mind: "May I help you cover it with magic?"
Ji Chaoyun realized what he was talking about, and turned his head to avoid: "I will do it myself."
After a while, the two returned to the banyan tree.
The arrangement of the wedding ceremony has not been removed. The old patriarch refused to let the clansmen chase them, so everyone could only continue to wait in place.
Seeing the two came back, the old patriarch smiled at them: "Is everything done?"
"Yeah." Ji Chaoyun responded in a low voice.
The old patriarch pointed to the tree again: "Do you want to continue?"
Ji Chaoyun was startled: "Patriarch, you..."
"what happened?"
"...It's okay." Ji Chaoyun shook his head, "We just saw a few clansmen heading toward the barren mountain. What are they doing?"
The old patriarch stared at him for a moment, and his eyes showed confusion: "Barren mountain? What barren mountain? Where is the barren mountain?"
"..."
"The two are back." Just at this moment, Ji Xun walked towards them.
Feng Qi asked: "Young patriarch, Chaoyun and I just saw how many clansmen were heading toward the barren mountain, do you know?"
"It's my order." Ji Xun explained, "I just received the news that a business traveler from a long distance seems to have passed through the banyan tree family's arrangement in Taohualing by mistake. I am worried that they will encounter When it was in danger, several members of the tribe were sent to escort."
Ji Chaoyun: "Ke people have set up barriers in every place that Taohualing must pass, how can they pass it smoothly?"
"The reason is not yet known. When we found out, they were about to enter the barren mountain." Ji Xun said, "The Banyan Tree Clan is a monster clan after all, and they dare not show up in front of mortals. I only had time to find a few clansmen to follow. Find out the reason for this. Why, do you think there is a problem?"
Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi looked at each other and said, "We don't have any real evidence. It's just... Brother Ji, there was an unidentified thing attacking you in the barren mountain. I'm afraid it might be dangerous for the clansmen to go there. Let's go and see."
"But..." Ji Xun looked at them hesitantly, then at the old patriarch.
The old patriarch sat on a wicker chair and said with a smile: "Go if you want, what does it matter."
Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi nodded, and immediately went back to the house to change clothes.
Ji Xun stared at the backs of the two of them, and wondered: "Grandpa, so can't we do this wedding ceremony?"
The old patriarch said: "The three prayers are not over yet, so keep it, you can use it later."
"Then why did Grandpa let them go?"
"You are a person who only knows the affairs of the family all day long, so it's no wonder that you can't find a wife." The old patriarch hated that iron is not made of steel, and hit the bottom of Xia Ji Xun's ass with the end of the bamboo stick. Walked around, "Young people, in pairs, made in heaven, it's so nice..."
Leaving the Banyan Tree from the direction of Houshan, Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi quickly found the barren mountain.
The reason why it is said to be a barren mountain is because there is no grass here.Strange rocks can be seen everywhere in the mountains, and there are only a few dry weeds between the rocks, and there is no vitality.Few people come in this mountain, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the Taohualing ahead seems to be two worlds.
"It's hard to imagine that behind such a luxuriant Taohualing, there is such a barren hill without grass." Feng Qi said, "This seems unreasonable."
Ji Chaoyun nodded: "When I first came to the Banyan Tree Clan, I also thought this mountain was quite weird. But at that time... it was difficult to protect myself, and the dense fog was enveloped outside the barren mountain, so I never went to explore."
Feng Qi let out a "huh" and turned his head to look at him.
Ji Chaoyun looked calm, and could not see that he had cried like that before.This person is like this, his mind is heavier than anyone else, if it is not for the extreme, he will not reveal the slightest.
Feng Qi was distressed and helpless, not knowing whether to coax him or not, the latter suddenly said, "Look there!"
A young man fell under the stone wall not far in front of the two.
It is a tree demon.
The two walked forward quickly, but saw that the young man was so angry that his clothes had been infested with blood.
"There is no harm to the vital point, there is still rescue." Feng Qi grabbed the person up before Ji Chaoyun, quickly tapped the opponent's spiritual veins, and slowly injected spiritual power.
"Cough cough cough..." The young man coughed out a big mouthful of blood, and finally regained some consciousness, "Xian, Xianchang, how come you..."
Ji Chaoyun asked: "What happened?"
"We followed the caravan into the barren mountain, and we were attacked shortly afterwards."
"What about the rest?"
"Xu went into the mountain and coughed cough... That thing was very powerful. I, I fainted before I could see what it was."
The young man's injuries were too serious, and the two couldn't ask anything else, so they pinched a trick and sent him back to the clan.
After doing this, Feng Qi said, "It seems that this mountain does have a problem."
"Not only this mountain, but also the business traveler." Ji Chaoyun was far away into the barren mountain, with the brows slightly lowered. "Business travellers usually have carts and horses for goods, so they will choose the official road better. This barren mountain is difficult and unpredictable. Where did the business traveler choose this path?"
"Perhaps they came from a different place and didn't know the danger here?"
Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "It's because I'm from a different place, so I have to find out more clearly."
Ji Chaoyun said: "Mortals are no better than immortals. They don't have magical protection, and they won't shrink into an inch. For them, they need to be cautious when traveling long distances. Even if they don't think about their lives, they must also consider the safety of their accompanying cargo. ."
Feng Qi asked: "That's why you just felt that there was a problem with the business team?"
"It's just a guess." Ji Chaoyun said, "Let's keep going inside--"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something coming behind him.
Ji Chaoyun turned around to look, just to see a black smoke from far to near.He was about to fight back, but Feng Qi moved faster than him.
Feng Qi's unbiased palm hit the center of the black smoke, only to hear a sharp roar, and the black smoke flew backward and hit the rough rock wall.The black smoke dissipated, revealing the true shape inside.
The thing was very similar in appearance to a cheetah. The whole body was dark, with double horns on the forehead, slender canine teeth and bright red eyes.
In those bright red eyes, there is a breath of demon.
Monster.
The monster was hit by Feng Qi's palm with its lifeline. The meridians were all shattered, and the body quickly turned into black smoke and was blown away by the wind.In just this moment, a few black smoke came from nowhere and fell around the two, enclosing them.
Feng Qi gave a "tsk" and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ji Chaoyun.
Ji Chaoyun drew out his sword and said lightly: "You said earlier, how much merit can be gained by killing monsters?"
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and understood what he meant.He stepped back half a step, and said, "Killing one should be worth the hard work of your previous day."
Ji Chaoyun's gaze fell on the more than a dozen monsters that slowly gathered around him, with a deep expression: "These are all mine, and you are not allowed to grab them."
"Well, I won't grab, you slowly..."
Before Feng Qi could finish speaking, Ji Chaoyun rushed out with a sword.
The sharp and lingering sword shadow was reflected on the rugged stone wall, and Feng Qi looked at the plain white figure from a distance, not planning to stop it, let alone helping.
Xiaolong felt uncomfortable in his heart and needed a channel to vent.
This group of monsters came too late.
Feng Qi retired to the stone wall and waited. When dozens of monsters encountered Ji Chaoyun at the moment, they couldn't see enough, but they were killed in a time of incense.Ji Chaoyun kicked away the last monster that swallowed, and the sword's edge showed off, throwing out a string of blood beads.
Feng Qi curled his mouth slightly, just about to step forward, his expression suddenly condensed.
Something is approaching.
Ji Chaoyun also felt the strangeness. He tilted his head to look in a certain direction, and there was a little vibration on the ground covered with rocks, as if something was coming towards them.
After a while, a piebald white tiger, full of snow-white and one person tall, walked around the stone wall and walked in front of them.
Ji Chaoyun's eyes sank, and he was about to lift his sword forward, but was stopped by Feng Qi, "Wait."
"It is not the enemy."
Feng Qi walked to the side of Ji Chaoyun and stared into Bai Hu's eyes.The white tiger looked at him with a calm expression without any hostility.
Feng Qi seemed to feel something, and asked, "You said you want to take us to a place?"
Bai Hu nodded at him, leaned sideways, flicked his slender tail, and motioned for the two to sit on its back.
Ji Chaoyun asked, "Feng Qi, what is it..."
"I don't know." Feng Qi said, "but I can feel that it is not hostile."
He took the lead to turn over Baihu, and Zhao Ji Chaoyun stretched out his hand: "Trust me, nothing will happen."
Ji Chaoyun silently looked at the hand in front of him, for a long while, nodded: "Okay."
The two rode on the white tiger, and the white tiger raised his head and shouted, and ran in the direction where he came.
The desolate mountain road moved back quickly, and Ji Chaoyun stared at the white tiger below him, vaguely thinking of something.
While running, the white tiger gave birth to white wings on its back, and soared into the sky.
The white tiger hovered over the barren mountain, the wind whistling in his ears.Ji Chaoyun pressed his back against Feng Qi's chest, and the latter held him tightly with his arms, wrapping him in his arms.
"Have you ever seen a tiger with wings? I have one, but it is a pity that I lost it in the fairyland."
Once upon a time, Feng Xiao held him in this way, and gently said in his ear: "When the war is over, I will call it back and take you for a drive, okay?"
This is... Is this Feng Xiao's spirit tiger?
Ji Chaoyun's thoughts were chaotic for a while, Feng Qi suddenly said in his ear: "Chaoyun, look down."
The scene at the feet of the two quickly changed.The dried-up river channel regenerates water, and the vegetation breaks through the soil and quickly grows lush.
It was still the barren mountain, but after breaking the external illusion, almost at that moment, Ji Chaoyun felt the spiritual power that seemed familiar.
Here, there is Feng Xiao's supernatural power.
This is... Mount Sumeru?
Bai Hu took the two back to the original place, and the two jumped off Bai Hu, the scene around them was completely different.
The dense trees conceal the sky, the kingfishers on the branches sing, and the soft white rabbits occasionally rush across the grass under the feet, and the worms and birds near the ears scream endlessly, glowing with vitality everywhere.
Bai Hu circled Feng Qi twice, seeming to be particularly excited, and kept his head in his arms.Feng Qi was so troubled by it, he rubbed his head resignedly: "Okay, okay..."
Ji Chaoyun looked at all this in a daze, a thought he had never had before, and he dared not think about it, broke ground in his heart.
