Chapter 79.
The scent of jasmine planted in the corner outside the window is pleasant, but it is far from as good as the woman in Tangli's room.
Tangli sat up cross-legged, wrapped in quilt, with a solemn look on her face. She stared at the woman standing beside the bed, smiling and talking sweetly, without blinking.
Tangli glanced at the ground again, but there was no shadow, so it was accurate to say that she was not a human. Then look at the spiritual butterflies flapping their wings on her bun. Compared with the common spiritual butterflies in Tianxuan Sect, they are somewhat different. You must know that although these spiritual butterflies that can be seen everywhere are beautiful, they are timid. If they had seen Tangli, they would have fluttered their wings and flew away. How could they be left on the bun for Tangli to watch?
But this was not the most surprising thing to Tang Li. What was even more shocking was her appearance.
It's not that she is too ugly, on the contrary, she is extremely beautiful.
Her whole body is majestic and agile, her skin is delicate, her beautiful eyes are looking forward to her, and she has an indescribable gentleness and pleasantness.
She looked a little more gentle than the one she saw last night. She had the same face as Pei Qingjun, so when Tangli woke up and saw her lying next to the bed, she almost lost her soul. Half scared away, Tangli was so shocked that she sat up on the spot no matter how calm she was.
"You said your name is Niannian and you are a butterfly demon?"
"Yes, my name is Niannian." She smiled shyly, her jade fingers hidden in her sleeves twirling around, and even the hem of her sleeves dangled, exuding a light but not strong fragrance.
Tang Li looked at her and said suspiciously: "Why did you appear in my room and call me master? This is too strange."
Is she in the wrong world?
[No, but Tangtang, have you forgotten Pei Qingjun's identity? ]
Along with the voice of 001, the voice of Nian Nian also sounded at the same time.
[Pei Qingjun is half-demon. ]
"Master, I am the butterfly demon of your blood contract, Nian Nian."
Tangli felt dizzy and smashed down on her face. She stuttered and asked: "Blood...blood contract? Why don't I feel anything at all?"
Nian Nian's pretty face turned red, and she said, "That's because you are so strong that you didn't notice the strong reaction when the blood contract was signed."
"...?"
Tangli pointed back at her face and said dissatisfied: "I am so delicate, but you actually say that I am strong! Die Yao, you don't even say something nice when you say it, you are not afraid of me killing you?"
Tang Li looked fiercely, squinting at the elegant butterfly demon with cold eyes. When she saw her face, which was the same as Pei Qingjun's, she looked sad. She suddenly felt that she was bullying the weak and made a villain.
Nian Nian mustered up the courage to sit on the edge of the bed. Her watery peach blossom eyes were charming. She carefully placed her fingertips on Tang Li's arm. When she found that Tang Li didn't resist, Nian Nian raised the corners of her mouth in joy, whispering softly: "Master, don't be angry, it's just Niannian who is wrong. Niannian will never say that again in the future. But master really didn't feel anything strange last night? When your blood blended with mine, Niannian's heart beats very fast when I feel it."
When she said this, Tangli seemed to remember something.
Tangli wanted to touch her neck with her dominant hand, but when she saw this delicate butterfly demon holding her right hand, she didn't let it go for a moment. Now that she waved away this butterfly demon, Tangli didn't know whether she would dropped Jin Zhuzhu aggrievedly, not wanting to cause trouble for herself, so she simply used her other hand to touch the hot spot last night.
She remembered that there was a sword mark there, and she didn't know when she was injured by Pei Qingjun.
But now this place is intact as before, and there are no more sword marks.
Tangli stared at the butterfly demon Niannian who was looking at her eagerly, and asked: "When I was holding Pei Qingjun last night, you saw the scar on my neck, so you secretly signed a blood contract with me?"
Nian Nian shook her head helplessly and explained: "No, I was suppressed in the body by Qingjun last night. I should have reached the stage of transcending tribulation, but she was unwilling to let me occupy her body to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. So she used the secret method to force replacement, and because of the emergence of the demon clan's secret method, there was no hope of promotion, which means she failed. When she was fighting with you, her body could no longer support it, but she stubbornly wanted to aggravate the injury to make herself comatose and fall asleep to escape my presence."
Tangli covered Nian Nian's nagging little mouth without any hesitation, and said mercilessly: "Excuse me, I don't really want to know what's going on between you two. I'm just an ordinary person. If a knowledgeable cultivator knows too many secrets, I will die quickly."
Although I longed to log off the line as soon as possible and leave the other world, but it was quite painful to be stabbed with a sword, so it was not too late to wait until it was time to log off.
This is not a modern world, this is a world of immortality that can be wiped out with just a word. The law of the jungle is enough to wipe out human nature.
Let's talk about the setting of this world. People are greedy for the blood and flesh of monsters. They can make spiritual weapons to increase their strength. However, monsters are cruel. As long as someone falls into their hands, they will suffer a tragic end.
After they transform into human form in adulthood, they will still have traces of beasts on their bodies. For example, the demon that Pei Qingjun killed last night, although it looks like a human, it had a monkey tail. This is the relationship between humans and demons. The biggest difference is that for thousands of years, the inextricable contradiction has made them never let each other go.
In this mutually hostile environment, another result naturally emerged, that is, the union of humans and demons, leaving behind half-demons.
What is the specific situation of the half-demon? It is really a random mode.
Just like Pei Qingjun, although there is no remnant of the demon in her appearance, she has split into the butterfly demon Nian Nian.
Tangli's words made Niannian's eyes dim. She held Tangli's wrist, trying to make Tangli realize the reality, "Master, you have signed a blood contract with Niannian. From now on, we will not be able to separate, the matter between Qingjun and me is also your matter."
Tangli raised her lips and said sarcastically: "Die Yao, do you know who I am?"
Nian Nian blinked her eyes in confusion and said shyly: "Nian Nian has been asleep recently. It is impossible for me to know the things that Qing Jun does not want me to know. So Master, who are you?"
Tang Li asked curiously: "You are the secondary and she is the primary?"
Niannian smiled lightly, rolled her eyes, covered her lips and said with a smile: "That's it, otherwise she wouldn't be called Pei Qingjun, but Pei Niannian. Besides, she wants to kill me, so I can only escaped with the demon pill and made a blood contract with you."
Tangli stared at Niannian thoughtfully. She was used to Pei Qingjun's upright and unsmiling look. Looking at Niannian again, Tangli immediately understood why the auction price of the half-demon in Wanxiang Tower was so expensive. The aristocratic family raised many half-demons, and most of them were lustful people who committed such dirty things.
"I can break the blood contract. I understand you want a place to rest, but I don't need a contract with a demon."
"Untie?" Niannian was surprised and her eyes widened.
Tangli spread her hands, and pure spiritual power condensed into a ball. There was no smile on her face, and she said: "Six months ago, my spiritual roots were completely destroyed. Now I have reached the late stage of Jindan. I can repair spiritual roots that others cannot do will naturally unlock the blood contract between you and me."
Niannian covered her mouth delicately, dumbfounded.
He looked at Tangli blankly.
"Master, are you the legendary genius?"
Tang Li withdrew her spiritual power, rolled her eyes angrily, and said with a bad attitude: "The point is not whether I am strong or not, but that I can untie it! But..."
She performed a dust purification technique, and then raised her hand to twist her hair, but Nian Nian whispered tentatively: "Let me make Master's hair."
Tangli rejected her kindness and continued to talk, "But I won't untie it now because I have to hide the repair of my spiritual root for the time being. If you leak it, I will be in danger, so It's only safe if you stay with me."
Niannian followed her, taking small steps, and said aggrievedly: "Niannian will not betray the master, and I am not a half-demon who will make a blood contract with others casually."
Tangli suddenly stopped. Niannian lowered her head and accidentally bumped into her. She clumsily kept Tangli helplessly away from her.
"Then why did you choose me?"
"Because Master, you smelled my scent!"
Nian Nian's face turned red and she only said half of the words. She was too embarrassed to speak the other half.
The smell of a half-demon can only be smelled by the destined person, so the master belongs to her.
Tangli frowned in confusion and said, "Just... so rash?"
This was the first time that Niannian expressed her opposition to Tangli. She said: "It's not rash at all! This is the inheritance left by the half-demon. It is the inheritance that a half-monster has deeply rooted in our blood. It will never deceive us."
Her stubborn eyes convinced Tang Li, who chuckled and responded, "Yeah, yeah, you half-demon clan are great."
"So Master, I will never betray you."
Tangli used her spiritual energy to transform into a water mirror. She put her hairpin on her head and shook it. After gathering her hair with her hands, she bent her fingers and flicked Nian Nian's smooth forehead and said, "Just call me Tangli."
"No, this is Niannian's insistence!"
Tangli sighed, she was not used to having a companion in her room all of a sudden, but there were only two rooms here, so she couldn't live with Erbao.
Sure enough, the heroine on the stall has never had anything good happen to her.
"Are you a spirit now?"
Nian Nian nodded like a fool, "Of course, Qingjun and I are one body, but she occupies the body, and I am the other half of her body, half demon, and now I can only exist as the spirit body."
She rolled her eyes and said timidly: "No one can see me except Master and Qingjun, so can I stay by your side to nourish the spirit body?"
"I'm afraid that Pei Qingjun will see you!" Tangli bit her fingertips and placed it between Nian Nian's eyebrows. It was like a natural cinnabar mole, making Nian Nian even more beautiful.
"Well, that's probably fine."
Tang Li was about to wipe away the blood on her fingertips when she saw Niannian kissing her with her lips. She just heard her say, "I'm here to help you."
Her red lips covered Tangli's white fingers, and the warm air wrapped around her fingertips. Even Tangli could feel the stroke of her tongue.
This unexpected move caused Tangli to retreat steadily.
Tangli retracted her hand, hid it behind her back, and said unnaturally: "What are you doing?"
"Healing master's wounds."
She blushed and gritted her teeth and said, "I really appreciate your whole family!"
Tangli pushed out the door in embarrassment. As soon as she left, the water mirror suspended in mid-air dispersed and turned into dots of stars. She was confused, but she still followed Tangli's footsteps.
"Master, wait for me."
Tangli had never seen such excitement before. At this moment, she didn't care about Zangzhuo. She took out a thousand-year-old snow lotus and gave it to Niannian. She said perfunctorily: "Go back to your room and eat flowers. Don't bother me."
"Isn't this too expensive?"
Tang Li was frightened when he saw her timidly holding Qianshan Snow Lotus, as if she had never seen anything good.
With a thought in her mind, she felt that as her own monster, she had to be knowledgeable, so she took out three more flowers, waved her hand and urged her to go back to the room, "Go and play."
Nian Nian smiled happily, stepped forward and threw herself at Tang Li, saying, "Master, you are so kind!"
She was afraid that Tang Li would push her away, so she took the initiative to let go of her as soon as he hugged her, standing there delicately, looking at Tang Li with a smile.
"Let's go, what are you doing standing here?"
Nian Nian turned around with Qianshan Snow Lotus in her arms, seemingly reluctant to let go. She looked at Tang Li again, and then returned to the original room.
Niannian closed the door, leaned back, lowered her eyes and saw Xuelian in her arms, and raised her lips with a sly smile.
"Simple and lovely master."
Tang Li also seemed to have forgotten one thing. Even if Nian Nian was led by Pei Qingjun, she was still the direct disciple of the head of Tianxuan Sect. How could she not have seen Qianshan Snow Lotus?
It was just to catch the fish Tangli.
Tangli patted her face. Without the butterfly demon Nian Nian, she quickly returned to her usual calmness. She stood in the yard and stretched her waist. Erbao, who had just finished chopping firewood, moved away from the fence.
She came in and said: "Fairy, this morning is the crab roe soup dumplings you asked for last night, as well as rice porridge made with millet oil."
She unloaded the bamboo basket she was carrying on her back and still held a bundle of firewood in her hand. Tangli went over and wanted to help, but Erbao avoided it and said, "Fairy, please take a seat quickly. Don't fool around lest these menial jobs make your hands dirty."
Tangli picked up the fresh bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket, weighed them, and said: "When I was practicing before, I didn't suffer any hardships, let alone chopping firewood. In order to exercise our perseverance, my uncle made us picke water back and forth for several years, this is not a rough job for me, so I can help you if I can."
"Fairy is a good adult."
Tang Li teased: "I hope you can still think of me like this in the future."
"No matter what you do, it is right in my heart!"
Tangli didn't answer anymore. She couldn't tell Erbao that she was a bad guy who almost sold the human race in the later period.
"Let's eat pickled fresh food tomorrow."
"Yes, I have taken note of it."
At this time, Erbao rubbed her eyes and realized that she had seen it correctly, so she pointed at Tangli's neck and said, "Fairy, why do you have a mark of a butterfly here? It's still purple."
Tangli touched it subconsciously and murmured, "Is it a butterfly?"
Erbao wiped her hands on her body and hurried to the room to get a mirror.
Tangli put all her hair on the other shoulder and turned her face. She saw the dark purple butterfly embedded in her snow-like skin, lifelike, as if it was about to flutter its wings and take flight. Tangli's temperament became a bit seductive.
She said calmly: "Er Bao, don't tell others about this."
Erbao said honestly: "I know this."
"Let's have meal."
Tangli let down her hair to block the butterfly mark on her neck.
Today's breakfast is what Tangli likes to eat. She has been inediate for a long time, but now that she is a mortal, she also likes to eat, so naturally it is necessary to eat three meals a day.
But she was thinking about the butterfly mark, so she ate in a hurry and returned to her room.
Tangli opened the door suddenly and saw someone sleeping on the bed. She was lying on her side, her black hair spread on the mattress, sleeping lazily. She also saw that her body was emitting a faint purple light, and her hair was hanging down. There was a butterfly resting on the slender wrist beside the bed. It was purple all over, with ink edges on its wings. It was graceful and gorgeous, especially beautiful, just like the butterfly monster Niannian.
Tang Li's question, which she wanted to say out loud, disappeared inexplicably.
She frowned, facing such a beauty, she was really helpless.
Suddenly, the butterfly flew away from her wrist. When it flapped its wings, it dropped a faint starlight, and finally stopped in front of Tangli.
It obviously didn't speak, but Tangli understood what it meant.
Tangli slowly raised her hand, and the butterfly stayed on her ring finger.
Tangli smiled, raised her lips, "Beautiful little guy."
Hey, forget it, just block the mark yourself, why bother asking the butterfly demon Niannian again.
Probably because of the blood contract, the butterfly was very affectionate to Tangli. Finally, it flew onto Tangli's bun and clung to her arm.
The person on the bed caught Tangli's attention. Thinking of what she said about the need to nourish her spirit body, Tangli became a little curious whether she was injured. But then she thought about it, what does it have to do with her whether she gets hurt or not.
"Master?" Niannian stretched out and called Tangli sweetly.
"It came to me on its own!" Tangli explained hurriedly when she noticed that Nian Nian's eyes were looking at the butterfly on her bun.
Niannian smiled and said, "It likes you very much."
"Is it your butterfly body?"
Nian Nian covered her lips and smiled, "Master is talking nonsense again, my true body is Qingjun, this is the demon pill."
Tang Li was stunned, "Yao Dan, can it still be like this?"
Flying around with a flutter, this is too lively.
"Yes, I only took the demon pill with me when I left Qingjun."
Tangli felt that she had learned new knowledge through popular science, and then thought of the butterfly mark on her neck. Now that she was awake, she didn't need to worry about it anymore.
"What should I do about this? I am a mortal with no power. It is difficult not to be suspected if I have a blood contract mark out of thin air. Can you hide it?"
Nian Nian left the bed and walked towards Tang Li, lifted her hair, touched the skin with her fingertips, and said, "That's okay."
Niannian asked again: "I just don't know where the owner wants it to stay."
"That must be a place where others can't see it." Tangli felt that her question was strange. Did she even need to ask her this question?
She blinked her eyes meaningfully and said, "Okay."
As the words fell, her fingers passed through the purple spiritual power, and the butterfly mark disappeared from her neck.
Niannian waved her sleeves, and a water mirror appeared out of thin air. She put her palms on Tangli's shoulders, bent down and approached Tangli, "Master, please take a look."
Tang Li looked at herself and butterfly demon Nian Nian in the water mirror. She was standing behind her. They only needed to lower and raise their eyes to look at each other. Therefore, the two of them were so close that they could almost hear each other's breathing.
"Where did it go?"
Nian Nian's hand on her shoulder slid down, and Tang Li held it alertly, squinting at her coldly and silently.
Niannian pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Didn't the master ask where it is? Niannian was about to point it out to you."
"Speak, don't move."
Tangli was determined not to give the butterfly demon Nian Nian a chance to take action. Looking at the direction of her hand, one could guess where the butterfly demon turned the mark.
"Cunning butterfly demon!"
Nian Nian's wrist was painfully pinched by Tang Li. She frowned and endured the pain and asked, "Master is angry?"
Tang Li shook off her wrist and said: "There are so many places on my body, why do you want to stay at my heart? Or are you planning to use the butterfly mark to do something to me!"
At this time, Nian Nian's eyes instantly turned red, and she cried, "I know that the master hates me, but for Nian Nian, the person who can detect my scent is the most important person to the half-demon, how can I be willing to hurt the master? Besides, we are still bound by a blood contract, not by any other contract. If the master is injured, how can I survive?"
Tangli's ears were burning. Firstly, she had misunderstood the butterfly demon; secondly, the butterfly demon said that she was the most important person. This was simply a mess.
You are so immortal, why did you let yourself smell that fragrance!
And she had nothing to do yesterday to join in the fun, so she might as well not repair her spiritual roots and just be a mortal. In this way, she would not have met Pei Qingjun, let alone have a blood contract with the butterfly demon!
It doesn't matter, hold on tight. When the next secret realm opens, Pei Qingjun and the hero will fall in love. As long as the general plot does not deviate, then she will still be saved!
"I shouldn't have said that to you, please stop crying." Tangli said softly.
Regarding the butterfly mark on her heart, Tangli admitted it bravely. She didn't dare to let the butterfly demon change its position again. Who knew where she would put it, so she might as well let it to continue to stay here.
It was comforting, but Tangli always felt that something was strange.
Butterfly demon Nian Nian is the heroine Pei Qingjun. Rounding it all off, wouldn't it mean that Pei Qingjun is lying on her chest?
Tangli poured herself a cup of tea. It was better not to think so wildly and calm down her shock first. This idea should not be thought up! How could the heroine have anything to do with her!
"Master, don't you blame me?"
"No blame, no blame." Tang Li waved her hands feebly, I don't blame anyone but myself.
Nian Nian stopped crying and smiled.
Suddenly, her smile froze, she vomited blood in Tangli's sight, and finally fell staggeringly into Tangli's arms.
When Tangli saw such a familiar scene, she could only express her speechlessness by remaining silent.
Last night it was Pei Qingjun, today it is butterfly demon Niannian.
I understand, then it will be me tomorrow, right?
