Chapter 437: Chen Erniu: I'm Blind

Looking at Zixuan, Xu Qing hesitated for a moment. The words the Captain had said about mountain peaks and bonds appeared in his mind.

He felt the Captain's words made sense at the time, and he had been busy gaining insights during this period, so he only sent voice transmissions to the Immortal Zixuan to ask about the Heavenly Dao, without talking much, and didn't meet.

At this moment, looking at the Immortal Zixuan, Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed.

"Greetings, Senior."

Hearing Xu Qing's form of address, the Immortal Zixuan raised her beautiful eyebrows and sized Xu Qing up a few times. Many guesses rose in her heart; she felt something was wrong.

Since two months ago, she had felt that Xu Qing's emotions seemed to have changed. At this moment, this feeling was even more obvious. After all, compared to men, women were more sensitive to details.

"Could it be that itchy-skinned Chen Erniu is itchy again?"

Zixuan immediately guessed the key, but she remained calm. After walking into the Sword Pavilion, she raised her jade hand and waved it lightly.

Immediately, the Sword Pavilion door behind her closed with a bang.

After being alone in the same room, Zixuan's expression was gentle as she sat cross-legged and took out a medicine bottle from her body.

"Xu Qing, you said in your voice transmission that you are going out, are you going on a long journey away from Fenghai Prefecture?"

Xu Qing nodded.

"In that case, the protection on you is not enough. Come over and sit down." Zixuan looked at Xu Qing and said softly.

This gaze made Xu Qing sigh in his heart, and he walked over silently, sitting cross-legged opposite Zixuan.

At such a close distance, the familiar fragrance rushed toward him again, seeping into Xu Qing's nose and lingering in his mind.

"You should have protection given by your master on you, but if you leave Fenghai Prefecture, you still lack a method of concealment." Zixuan placed the medicine bottle she was holding aside.

"Inside this medicine bottle is the Sword Emperor's blood that I obtained in that battle when the Emperor of the Lingyin Forbidden Land went out to cause chaos in Yinghuang Prefecture and was suppressed by the sects of Yinghuang Prefecture in cooperation with the Sword-Holding Court."

"For many years, I have gained insights through this blood, and it has been effective. There is not much left now. Today, I will use the Sword Emperor's blood, combined with my own Dao, to draw a Void Concealment Talisman for you."

"Because the Sword Emperor's blood is the material for drawing the talisman, this talisman has a very high status once formed. It can conceal all your aura for a short time, making outsiders unable to see your human identity, nor your true face."

Xu Qing's mind shook upon hearing this. He looked at the medicine bottle placed aside by the Immortal Zixuan. He knew clearly that this object was of great value, and waves rose in his heart at the Immortal Zixuan's words.

"Unless you provoke an existence at the fourth stage of Void Returning. However, this type of existence is a person who resides in the temple in any place, so the possibility of you encountering one is not very high."

"But you must remember, this blood talisman evaporates at all times and is difficult to last long. It will dissipate in at most three months." The Immortal Zixuan's voice was gentle and full of exhortations.

Xu Qing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before the words could come out, Zixuan's mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

"No need to say polite words. Take off your clothes."

Xu Qing was stunned.

"What are you stunned for? Drawing a talisman naturally needs to be drawn on your body." Zixuan blinked, playfulness in her eyes.

If it were someone else, Xu Qing wouldn't hesitate, but facing the Immortal Zixuan, he was always nervous. However, he understood the importance of this Void Concealment Talisman, so he took a deep breath, took off his Daoist robe, and revealed his refined upper body.

Zixuan's gaze swept over, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she raised her right hand and pointed at Xu Qing's shoulder.

Immediately, Xu Qing's body turned around while sitting cross-legged, with his back to Zixuan.

"You need to calm your heart."

Zixuan exhaled like an orchid, her voice like a feather falling on Xu Qing, brushing across his mind and stirring up ripples.

Xu Qing was very nervous. He had never experienced such a thing since he was a child. His heartbeat instinctively accelerated. When his body was stiff, the Immortal Zixuan behind him picked up the medicine bottle, poured out a drop of golden blood, and her expression became solemn.

"Xu Qing, this talisman is complex and must be done in one go, without interruption."

During her words, Zixuan's onion-white fingers raised, dipped in the Sword Emperor's blood from the Lingyin Forbidden Area, and landed on Xu Qing's back skin. She wiped it lightly and began to draw the talisman runes.

When her fingers slid, they were sometimes slow and sometimes fast, wandering on Xu Qing's back. Wherever they passed, besides drawing golden traces, they also stirred up light tremors in Xu Qing's skin.

All the fine hairs stood up at this moment.

And the feeling of those fingers sliding across his body was like hair gently stroking and lingering, seeping from his skin into his heart, turning into more waves. After more and more, Xu Qing's scalp couldn't help but go numb.

His heartbeat became faster and faster, and his breathing couldn't help but become rapid.

In the end, Xu Qing gritted his teeth, took several deep breaths, and the Scripture of Grass and Trees appeared in his mind, which he recited silently in his heart.

This method was indeed effective. Gradually, his inner heart calmed down.

Just like that, time flowed by slowly.

After the Scripture of Grass and Trees was recited three times, as the sky broke at dawn, sweat appeared faintly on Xu Qing's forehead, and the Void Concealment Talisman that Zixuan drew for him was finally more than half finished.

"Next is the front." Zixuan's voice also had something different from the past. Before Xu Qing could distinguish it carefully, the next instant his body was turned half a circle under Zixuan's light finger.

He became facing Zixuan.

The fragrant breath inevitably fell on Xu Qing's face. He even saw Zixuan's trembling eyelashes and the fine fluff on her face, and the red clouds rising rapidly in her skin.

"Is she nervous too?"

Xu Qing was stunned.

At this moment, Zixuan's expression was one he had never seen before. Just as thoughts were emerging, Zixuan coughed lightly, her pretty face flushed, her eyelashes trembled, but her eyes were very bright, and her fingers pointed at Xu Qing's chest.

She began to draw the talisman.

At the moment of contact, Xu Qing's mind shook. Then he closed his eyes, calmed his breath, continued to recite the Scripture of Grass and Trees, and tried hard to calm himself.

And Zixuan's fingers were like flowing water, stroking lightly on his body, becoming an obstacle to reciting the scriptures. Moreover, as golden talisman runes appeared on Xu Qing's body one by one, that strong tactile sensation made waves rise in Xu Qing's mind, rising wave after wave.

Until an incense stick later, when the sky outside was bright, Zixuan's fingers returned to Xu Qing's chest and paused slightly.

"Xu Qing, your heart is beating so fast." Zixuan's voice was very light, but in this quiet Sword Pavilion, it still echoed clearly in Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saw Zixuan with a flushed face.

"Don't move, this is the last stroke." As their eyes met, Zixuan's voice trembled a little.

Her fingers moved slightly, sliding from Xu Qing's chest to his neck, to his chin, until behind his ears. Her body also moved closer in this action.

Xu Qing's whole body was incomparably stiff, the Scripture of Grass and Trees could not form in his mind, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Seeing Zixuan getting closer and closer, just at this moment, the Captain's enthusiastic voice suddenly came from outside the Sword Pavilion.

"Little Ah Qing, how are you? Come out, let's set off and do big things."

"Eh, why is there an extra layer of protection here?"

"Little Ah Qing, what are you doing."

Following the Captain's voice, Zixuan quickly withdrew her fingers and stood up somewhat nervously. Although she teased Xu Qing on weekdays and acted like a big sister, she hadn't experienced things Xu Qing hadn't experienced either.

At this moment, after tidying up her green hair with a flushed face to cover the panic in her heart, she coughed, not daring to look at Xu Qing, and spoke rapidly.

"Xu Qing, pay attention to safety on the road."

Saying this, Zixuan turned around, her graceful back carrying some haste, and walked toward the Sword Pavilion door. With a wave of her hand, the door opened, revealing the Captain outside with a face full of surprise.

And the next instant, the Captain's expression changed from surprise to shock. His eyes widened, staring blankly at Zixuan, and then he swept a glance at Xu Qing who was putting on his clothes inside the door.

"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!"

The Captain quickly stepped back a few steps and closed his eyes, but waves were rolling in his heart, secretly thinking that these two wouldn't have had some indescribable thing happen, right?

"Chen Erniu." Before the Captain could continue thinking, Zixuan spoke indifferently.

"Disciple is here!" The Captain responded loudly with his eyes closed.

"Last month, the Eight Sect Alliance sent a letter saying that the ancient snake bones in the secret land had some more dirt."

The Captain's heart trembled. He heard the implication of scolding in this sentence, so he quickly pondered whether he had made any mistakes. He soon found the reason, secretly thinking that it must be because he had bumped into the other party's good thing... saw a scene he shouldn't have, so he quickly spoke.

"Immortal, I had some problems with my cultivation yesterday, and I don't know why my eyes are broken."

Zixuan let out a cold snort and continued to speak.

"Also, I have a close friend named Li Shitao. A few days ago, she saw a sneaky guy eating a peach while secretly looking at her at the Fengxing Palace. Was it you?"

"It was absolutely not the disciple. The disciple would never peek, and only eats apples!" The Captain's expression was stern, and he spoke without thinking.

"Oh." Zixuan didn't say much. After two simple sentences, she walked away with an accelerated heartbeat.

Until Zixuan left, the Captain opened his eyes, looked around, and then stepped into the Sword Pavilion rapidly, looking at Xu Qing incredibly.

"What's the situation!"

Xu Qing had already put on his Daoist robe, his expression as usual. Upon hearing this, he was surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"Uh?" The Captain was stunned, sized Xu Qing up a few times, and leaned over to ask secretly.

"You and the Immortal Zixuan..."

"Big Brother, we should set off." Xu Qing said, walking out of the Sword Pavilion.

The Captain followed behind, looked at the blurry back of the Immortal Zixuan leaving, and then looked at Xu Qing, took out a peach and took a bite, laughed, and chased after him quickly.

There was no snow today, but the wind was not small. However, this did not affect the clarity of the firmament, and because the cloud layer was thin, it looked blue.

So the morning light of the early sun also became exceptionally dazzling, falling on the earth and on the two people going away, pulling their figures very long.

The breeze blew, sending out sounds.

"Little Junior Brother, tell Big Brother, did you become an adult last night?"

"..."

"Little Junior Brother, why don't you speak? Are you shy?"

"..."

"Oh, forget it, forget it. Senior Brother won't tease you. My dear Little Junior Brother, you must remember to introduce my Taotao to me when we come back. I also want to become an adult."

"..."

The teasing words carried laughter, echoing out. As the figures of the two went further and further away, the laughter also slowly became whispers. ===== CHAPTER 438 =====
