Chapter 164 Jiang Sihan, stop drawing my eyebrows!
The door creaked open, and a lingering fragrance wafted out. It was the scent of Lin Xuxi, the stamens of the red lotus combined with sandalwood, a unique scent that belonged only to her.
He hadn't been here for a long time. The last time he came was when he had a big fight with Xi'er. Before, he saw this place as gray. Now he saw color, but this place was empty.
After so much gray, Jiang Sihan now cherished the vibrant colors before his eyes. However, he also knew that his ruthless cultivation was shaky.
Wei Yuyun stood outside the door but didn't dare to go in. He stood outside with his hands hanging down, listening to the movement inside with his ears perked up.
He stumbled to the left side room, where there was a dressing table next to the couch. He had brought it from the human world some time ago, saying that all women loved it.
"Jiang Sihan, if you don't know how to draw eyebrows, don't do it."
"No, isn't there a saying in the human world about honoring each other as equals? I want to honor you as equals, and grow old with you!"
"You can draw the talisman but don't draw my eyebrows."
"How about I learn and draw your eyebrows well in the future?"
"If you don't learn well, I won't let you paint. When you learn well, you can paint for me."
Jiang Sihan ran his hand over the huanghuali wood tabletop, the texture still intact. This was the beauty of the world of immortal cultivation: the traces of time were barely noticeable, and that was true for both people and this table.
Jiang Sihan couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of their past conversations. He always loved using these little things from the human world to make Xier happy.
"Live in harmony and grow old together." Jiang Sihan was born and raised in the world of immortal cultivation. Before Xier came, he was a well-known genius talisman cultivator in Xuanyu Sect.
After Xi'er arrived, he was very curious about the human world. He had never been there, and many of Xi'er's stories were very interesting to him. Later, after becoming a Taoist partner with Xi'er, he returned to the human world with her. Together, they traveled through the mountains and rescued these disciples.
"Ahem—" His heart ached the more he felt emotional. It was so painful that Jiang Sihan couldn't even stand, and could only hold onto the dressing table, gasping for breath.
Actually, this didn't relieve the pain. Closing his eyes blocked out the redness. But he hadn't finished reading yet. He wanted to go to the desk to see if his pen was still there.
Forcing himself to support his shaky body, he took a rest after every step and moved to the treasure cabinet. He walked around the cabinet with the help of the cabinet and saw that there were only two pens left on the desk.
Those two pens happened to be his, and Xier didn't take them away.
"She must hate these things of mine to not take them away." Jiang Sihan picked up one of them and muttered to himself, "This is her favorite."
Although the pen is his, Xier said a long time ago that she found it easy to use, so she has been using it ever since. Now she has thrown away all the things she likes because of me.
He really understood Lin Xuxi, and precisely because of this understanding, he felt heartbroken.
"Sigh." Jiang Sihan put away the two pens and slumped in the chair.
He now faced a choice: his cultivation or Xi'er. But he also knew that if his cultivation was lost, he would become a useless person.
The former genius, now a useless person. He didn't know if he could accept such a disparity. He tightly grasped the pen in his hand, not noticing the flash of light.
"what happened to you?"
Jiang Sihan heard Xier's voice and opened his eyes. Seeing Xier standing beside him, he smiled brightly and stood up regardless of the pain in his heart. He reached out and took Xier's hand and asked, "I see you again."
Because his cultivation was unstable and he was sick with longing, Jiang Sihan had always believed that it was an illusion, caused by the conflict between the ruthless way and his own emotions.
He never considered that someone was interfering, or that someone had cast a spell on him. After all, at the Spiritual Transformation stage, he no longer needed something as visible and easy to guard against as a means of attack.
"Don't you want to see me?" Lin Xuxi scolded. She shook Jiang Sihan's hand, but found it was very cold. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold?"
"Think what you want,"
Jiang Sihan wanted to stand up, but his heart ached so much that even standing up was a struggle. He couldn't even stretch his body completely, like a cooked shrimp placed on that chair.
"So it's my fault then?" Lin Xuxi snorted, shaking off his hand and facing Jiang Sihan. She placed one hand on the desk, her index finger tapping softly, making a quiet sound.
"It's not your fault, it's - cough cough -" Jiang Sihan forced himself to stand up, using his right hand for support and not letting it leave the armrest of the chair, otherwise he would definitely fall down.
"Xi'er." Jiang Sihan held Xi'er's hand with his left hand and forced a smile, "Please don't be angry, okay? I didn't mean to say anything wrong, Xi'er."
After hearing the apology, Lin Xuxi felt a little happier. Turning around, she noticed Jiang Sihan's pale face and became even more worried. She hurriedly helped him sit down and asked, "Sihan, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me?"
"me!"
Jiang Sihan was helped to sit down. He held Xier's hand tightly for fear that she would leave again. At this time, he decided to confess everything he had done.
"Xi'er, I've been secretly practicing the ahem—ruthless way."
Wei Yuyun, who was hiding behind the treasure cabinet, was also startled. He had just heard his master talking to himself here, so he came in to check out what was happening out of some concern.
I never expected to hear such a shocking secret.
Merciless Dao? Even if Wei Yuyun had never heard of this technique or cultivation method, he could still guess what it was for from the name.
"Could it be?" The master's ruthlessness and indifference towards the mistress were all due to his practice of the ruthless way.
Every cultivator has different talents. There are medicine cultivators, sword cultivators, talisman cultivators, and magic cultivators. These are the types of immortal cultivators. Moreover, it takes thousands of years for a genius like my master's wife, who is proficient in both talismans and medicine, to appear.
What exactly is the Wuqing Dao? Why does Master practice cultivation?
"The Way of Mercy?" Lin Xuxi was a little confused. Apparently, she didn't know what the Way of Mercy was either. She asked, "Is the Way of Mercy another skill that Master taught you?"
“No, the ruthless way is a secret cultivation technique left over from ancient times. From the beginning of cultivation, one cuts off all emotions and love. When the great way is about to be achieved, the master will kill his wife to prove his way and ascend to the ancestor of Taoism.” Jiang Sihan said with a self-deprecating smile.
Why did he think of killing Xier to prove his own truth?
"You, you!" Lin Xuxi pulled her hand back abruptly, stunned and surprised. She obviously didn't believe Jiang Sihan would do such a thing, and demanded, "You, you want to kill me!"
"I didn't, I was wrong." Jiang Sihan also panicked, grabbed Xier's hand and shook his head to defend himself: "I didn't, I really didn't."
Wei Yuyun was so frightened that she covered her mouth and dared not say a word. What kind of evil sect was this? Would they actually kill their wife to prove their truth? Was the master crazy?
"I was tempted at first, but it was only because I was jealous of you. I was jealous of your talent. Your natural spiritual bones allowed you to reach places I couldn't even try hard. I was clearly your senior brother, but in the end, I let you surpass me. So when I saw that you could ascend to Daozu within a hundred years, I was really tempted."
century?
