Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 228 Mysterious Smile

Ji Xi conveyed the matter of the immortal calamity to Huang Guo and planned to visit the market before leaving.

When she turned around, she happened to meet Dou Eqing on the way to send Ye Die back to the Yunqiong flying ship outside the market.

Because after she conveyed the immortal tribulation to the Baishan Sect, she returned to the Hui Sect to look for Dou Eqing, but failed to find him.

Now that I have met it, I naturally cannot miss it.

"Dou Lang, your romantic luck has struck again!"

Ji Xi's greeting was very special. Dou Eqing looked confused, but Ye Die blushed first.

"Don't talk nonsense! Even if you gave me nine lives, I wouldn't dare to provoke the Fairy of the Judgment Hall!"

Dou Eqing attacked and flatly denied Ji Xi's address to him.

Ji Xi looked at him with a wink and a smile without refutation.

"Here, this is my clan's military order! I won't delay your work at the Judgment Hall."

Dou Eqing then took out the video recording jade slip that he had prepared in advance.

The jade slip contained his personal vote on the Judgment Hall's promise to take down a fourth-tier force in Qingzhou.

"I still have a little time, so I'll supervise Sect Master Dou and make sure he doesn't kidnap the little fairy again."

Ji Xi said with a smile.

Dou Eqing ignored her and said to Ye Die:
"Let's go and ignore her. People from the Judgment Hall are not to be messed with."

The two of them had not walked far when they met Ye Nashi coming towards them as soon as they left the market.

Because Ji Xi was standing by, Dou Eqing and Ye Die's conversation sounded like they were whispering, which made Ye Nashi feel curious.

In Ye Nashi's impression, Ye Die had never interacted with a male cultivator. The scene before her made her feel surprised and happy.

She had already looked at Dou Eqing from a distance before he and the others noticed her.

Dou Eqing gave Ye Nana a good impression at first sight. The handsome man was pleasing to the eye.

She admired Dou Eqing under the moonlight for a long time. She had deliberately held back and was not in a hurry to meet Ye Die and the others.

She seemed to be appreciating this beautiful scene, watching quietly:

Moonlight filled the end of the bluestone alley as two figures emerged from the market archway. A bronze bell from the eaves rang softly, filtering the moonlight like shattered silver onto the men's shoulders.

He walked on the frosty ground, his dark cloud-patterned sleeves fluttering in the night wind, and the star tracks embroidered on the hem of his clothes glowed with a very faint indigo light.

Under the moonlight, the translucent muscles and bones unique to immortal cultivators resembled jadeite soaked in a cold spring. Even the lines from jaw to Adam's apple seemed sculpted by an ice blade. Sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, but a benevolent arc drooped at the corners of his eyes, and within them shimmered the shimmer of stars falling into a deep pool.

The plain silver ribbon that bound his hair was entangled with the hair scattered around his neck, brushing against the amber longevity pendant hanging on his collarbone, unexpectedly making Dou Eqing's solemn Taoist attire exude a touch of worldly charm.

The girl beside him suddenly stood on tiptoe to brush away the dust on his shoulders that was visible in the moonlight. As her smoky purple gauze skirt with butterfly pattern swirled, the silver bell on her wrist rang out in the silence.

The accessories hanging in Ye Die's hair swayed slightly with her movements, making the blood jade between her eyebrows three times more brilliant. However, her deer eyes were so clear that they could hold the entire galaxy.

When her fingertips brushed across the man's collar, the wide sleeves embroidered with golden-stamen white plum blossoms slipped down, revealing the faintly visible demonic pattern on the inside of his white wrist.

A hundred meters away in the night, Servant Ye Na placed her orchid finger against her lips, staring at the couple under the moon in a daze.

The spiritual energy floating around the man was like the morning mist on a cold mountain, but it was wrapped around by the scarlet enchanting aura escaping from the girl's sleeve and turned into flowing clouds.

This crimson aura of evil came from Ye Die's pet, Fen Die.

In the cracks of the bricks as they passed, several unknown spiritual flowers bloomed under the moonlight, using their flowers as leaves to set off the beautiful scenery.

Dou Eqing stopped for a moment and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. The girl was looking up and whispering to him.

The frosty moonlight blended the two shadows into an ink-and-wash whole. Dou Eqing's age matched Ye Die's fairy appearance. In Ye Nashi's eyes, the two figures were connected in the night wind, creating a lingering mood.

When the man suddenly tilted his head and chuckled, his usually stern eyebrows and eyes instantly melted like spring water, and the Tai Chi pattern embroidered with silver thread on his lapel began to ripple gently.

The girl took the opportunity to stuff something into his palm, and the pearls hanging from her hairpin brushed against his cheek, drawing a fleeting streak of light in the night.

Ye Nashi felt that she had seen enough, and then she investigated Dou Eqing's cultivation level, and found that Dou Eqing had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm at such a young age.

Although she could see that Dou Eqing had just broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm not long ago, it was difficult to conceal his natural talent.

"I just don't know what kind of character he has. The female cultivator next to him is very powerful, and I don't know what her relationship with him is. Judging from the situation, the two of them must have a special relationship..."

Ye Nashi walked towards Ye Die and the other two while thinking.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Ye Die shifted her gaze away from Dou Eqing and asked when she saw Ye Nashi.

"I'm afraid our little princess will be lost."

Ye Nashi quipped.

"Fairy, you misunderstood. I just found something that was destined for Fairy Ye, so I gave it to her. I didn't expect that we would get along well and waste her time, which made you worry."

Dou Eqing saw that Ye Die was embarrassed by Ye Nashi's words, so he stood up to explain.

"It's not about me, it's about my aunt."

Ye Die corrected Dou Eqing's words, but her words were not clear enough, making people think that Dou Eqing and her aunt were destined to be together, and she was the one who brought them together.

Ye Nashi thought so subconsciously.

This is also the role played by Dou Eqing's pair of peach blossom eyes.

He just explained to Ye Nashi that the peach blossom eyes had a greater impact on female cultivators at close range.

Dou Eqing stepped forward to rescue Ye Die, which made Ye Na feel that he was a good person.

Ye Nashi couldn't help but look at Dou Eqing again from a close distance, and her peach blossom eyes naturally met her phoenix eyes.

This will subconsciously associate oneself with Dou Eqing.

"Oh, so Nuan Gong Luan is what Auntie needs."

Dou Eqing looked as if he had suddenly realized something. In fact, he knew this situation through the Soul-Eating Butterfly.

When Ye Nashi heard Nuangong Luan, she immediately thought of something secret and couldn't help but feel shy like a young girl.

Ye Die only knew that Nuangongluan could cure her aunt's illness, but she didn't know what disease it was specifically.

But Ye Na Shi knew everything about Nuan Gong Luan.

She thought that since Dou Eqing knew Nuangong Luan and had this thing in his hands, he naturally knew how to use it.

This quickly brought up some more things.

This was also the secret of Dou Eqing's Fire Dragon Diamond that she had accidentally discovered while snooping, and it caught her attention at this moment.

When she discovered the Fire Dragon Diamond, she thought that the Ice Luan Taoist body and the owner of the Fire Dragon Diamond were a perfect match for each other.

But at that time, she thought Dou Eqing was Ye Die's love interest, and this thought only flashed through her mind.

I don't want Ye Die and Dou Eqing's words to arouse this idea again and involve more thoughts.

Dou Eqing didn't know what was wrong with him. The lust in his heart seemed to be unstoppable. When he saw Ye Nashi's beauty, he felt greedy.

In fact, this was just the demon of lust that had plagued him again.

The demon of desire has not appeared to affect Dou Eqing for a long time. On the one hand, his cultivation has gradually improved, and the growth of his spiritual consciousness has made his consciousness stronger, which instinctively suppressed the emergence of the demon of desire; on the other hand, his romantic luck along the way has alleviated the demon of desire.

The reason why the demon of desire showed up at this time was first because it was affected by Yu Fengxian's emotional tribulation, and then it was promoted by the dual cultivation with Yue Fen.

Yue Fen's Qianjiao Huiyin provided nutrients for Dou Eqing's inner demon of desire to grow. The frustration of dual cultivation failing to conquer Yue Fen completely allowed the inner demon of desire to emerge, and it was only manifesting itself now.

Dou Eqing did not realize that he was affected by the demon of desire, but Ye Nashi opposite him discovered the abnormality in his heart.

After all, Ye Nashi was mature and experienced. After some thought, she found the reason and realized that the problem lay with Dou Eqing.

She discovered that she could get an opportunity from Dou Eqing, and it was this opportunity that induced her instinct.

"You little brat, those peach blossom eyes of yours actually gave me an electric shock. If it weren't for Die'er, I could have given you a chance."

Ye Nashi found an excuse in her mind to withdraw herself from the cause and effect of that opportunity.

She had to warn herself clearly in her heart, otherwise she might get deeply involved and violate some kind of one-way cause and effect relationship with Dou Eqing.

Because, with the help of Dou Eqing's pure yang Taoist body, it was easier for her to break through the refining void than other female cultivators who obtained Dou Eqing's pure yang.

After all, her Bingluan Taoist body and Chunyang Taoist body, as well as Dou Eqing's Fire Dragon Diamond, are a perfect match for dual cultivation.

When she said in her heart that she was giving Dou Eqing a chance, she was actually giving herself a chance to seize an opportunity.

No one knew about the changes in her inner world, but because she kept it in her heart alone, it became a secret.

A secret that no one shares can only be shared with yourself at one time.

As the saying goes, the secret in your heart is like a seed, which will eventually sprout.

What this seed will sprout into, can only be revealed in the years to come. Ye Nashi perfectly concealed her inner feelings, but Dou Eqing was not able to control his expression very well, and both Ye Die and Ji Xi noticed his lustful thoughts.

This caused Ye Die to have complicated feelings towards him.

For someone like Ye Die who is ignorant of emotions, this complicated feeling is difficult to tell whether it is love or disaster.

In fact, if Ye Die had experience in emotions, she would be able to easily tell at this time that Dou Eqing was a disaster for her, and she would be able to decisively cut off the emotional relationship and cause and effect with Dou Eqing.

Because Ye Die was unable to clearly distinguish her relationship with Dou Eqing, Dou Eqing's lustful behavior aroused Ye Die's jealousy.

"Are all male cultivators like this? Daddy has Aunt Nashi by his side, but he also has a bunch of beautiful concubines."

This made Ye Die think of the relationship between her father and Ye Nashi.

However, when Ji Xi saw Dou Eqing's lustful thoughts, he felt that there was something interesting to watch and waited for the development of the situation.

Since Dou Eqing refused to admit his lustful thoughts, he wanted to use Ye Na's help to obtain the [Soul-Devouring Immortal Technique] from Ye Die.

His thoughts were just an excuse to get close to Ye Nashi, prompted by his conscious instinct.

The inner changes of the four people occurred instantly in their own hearts, and the situation in the outside world was not affected by the secret changes in their hearts.

Ye Nashi invited Dou Eqing and Ji Xi to sit on the Yunqiong flying ship. Dou Eqing readily agreed, but Ji Xi declined.

Dou Eqing was naturally because he had not yet obtained the [Soul-Devouring Immortal Art], and he was unknowingly bewitched by Ye Nashi's mature beauty.

Ji Xi had other important matters to attend to, and he had also obtained Dou Eqing's military order, so it was almost time to return to the Judgment Hall to hand in the task.

Dou Eqing's luck with women and his current lustful behavior make Ji Xi feel a little threatened.

Ji Xi would never have thought that Dou Eqing, whom he had seen only a short time ago, had already broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

She had specifically investigated Dou Eqing in the Judgment Hall and learned that he had a Taoist partner at the Nascent Soul stage when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage.

But now, none of Dou Eqing’s Nascent Soul Taoist companions appeared by his side.

Looking at the current situation, Ji Xi was afraid that he would end up like this in the future, being left far behind by Dou Eqing and being the woman who could only look at his back.

Therefore, Ji Xi must go back early to practice in seclusion.

As for the woman next to Dou Eqing now, as a cultivator, there is nothing to be jealous of. The one who can stay by his side in the end is the winner.

Anyway, seeing Dou Eqing's rapid progress in cultivation and all the mysteries, Ji Xi decided to follow Dou Eqing to the end.

Before leaving, Ji Xi sent a message to Dou Eqing:
"We can set off for Qingzhou now."

Dou Eqing just agreed without thinking about her words seriously.

The three of them boarded the Yunqiong flying ship. Ye Die was jealous and acted like a spoiled child. She said goodbye to Dou Eqing and returned to her cabin.

So, Captain Ye Nashi had to entertain Dou Eqing himself.

"Fairy Ye is as gentle as jade, and I didn't expect that she is also the captain. However, your temperament is very queen-like!"

Dou Eqing couldn't find good words to praise the plump beauty in front of him, but he still praised her anyway.

"Friend Ji is your woman, right?"

Ye Nashi saw that Dou Eqing wanted to provoke her, so she brought up the topic intentionally.

"Um...it's hard to explain. I met her by chance and something happened."

Dou Eqing explained hesitantly.

"What do you want to see Die'er about?"

she continued to ask.

"We met by chance in the market. It's all due to fate."

Dou Eqing spoke as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Humph! You can't hide it from me. You must have ulterior motives for approaching Die'er!"

Her cold snort expressed her dissatisfaction with Dou Eqing.

Ye Nashi's expression changed so quickly that Dou Eqing was confused.

So, his next move was a mistake.

Dou Eqing hurriedly used the method he used to coax Ye Die and gave her a treasure.

"Actually, I didn't mean to get close to Ye Die, I just wanted to see you..."

He was thinking about provoking the treasure in the storage ring, which led to his careless words.

These words sound like a confession to the one you love.

Although he spoke without thinking, the treasure he gave happened to be given to the right person.

Dou Eqing took out a fifth-grade top-grade Jade Face Pill and presented it to Ye Nashi. The pill immediately attracted her attention.

"I know I'm not worthy of Fairy Ye, but I hope this Jade Face Pill can be worthy of me."

This immediately made Ye Na smile happily.

But when she smiled and saw Dou Eqing's drooling expression, she realized that she had failed.

"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about this little man. What a sin!"

In fact, she said that about Dou Eqing before, not because she felt that Dou Eqing had ulterior motives in approaching Ye Die, but because she just wanted to get rid of Dou Eqing.

Now that she has obtained Dou Eqing's fifth-grade top-grade Jade Face Pill and revealed her most beautiful side to Dou Eqing, the next step is for her to kill Dou Eqing.

Otherwise, Dou Eqing was destined to haunt her.

Because there is precedent for this.

The first person who had ever seen Ye Nashi smile was Ye Duba, the father of Ye Die who was now holding her in a circle.

Ye Duba was initially captivated by Ye Nashi's smile, and even though he could only look at her but not eat, he still guarded her for thousands of years.

The second male cultivator who smiled at her was named Ye Dukuang.

Ye Dukuang is Ye Duba's younger brother and fell in love with her at first sight.

Ye Dukuang knew Ye Nashi's situation very well, but was willing to give everything for her.

In the end, he died tragically at the hands of Ye Duba, and no trace of his body was left.

It is said that there is a smile that can conquer the whole city, and this is what Ye Nashi's smile is all about.

The magic in it cannot be explained by common sense.

When Ye Nashi faced strangers, she would smile but it was a forced smile.

Ye Na Shi can't use the smiling face whenever she wants, it is a kind of accidental talent skill.

Of course, Ye Nashi did not accept her fate just yet, and could only take things one step at a time.

Finally, if there is really no way out, there is a solution.

At least Ye Nashi had a plan in mind.

She couldn't bear to see Dou Eqing end up like Ye Dukuang, and she also had the ability to prevent Dou Eqing from dying tragically.

This was the benefit brought by Dou Eqing himself, which was to help Ye Nashi break through the realm.

Ye Duba is only half a step into the Void Refinement Realm. If Ye Nashi breaks through her current realm, Ye Duba will no longer be her opponent.

Looking back on the past half of her life, Ye Nashi was not very satisfied with Ye Duba in her heart.

It’s just because I was wrong at the beginning, and I knew it was wrong but I still compromised, so I spent half my life making do.

For Ye Nashi, Dou Eqing was someone she regretted not meeting earlier.

Because it was too late, she was willing to give it to Ye Die.

Now that the situation has developed to the point where it is difficult to change, or even irreversible, she has no choice but to face her own heart.

If we compare Dou Eqing and Ye Dukuang, although Ye Nashi has just met Dou Eqing, she is more inclined to choose Dou Eqing.

Ye Nashi was lost in thought, while Dou Eqing was immersed in the fascination that her previous smile had brought him.

When she finally made the decision to protect Dou Eqing, it seemed as if everything in the past was relieved.

She couldn't help but hold the obsessed Dou Eqing in her arms, when suddenly Ye Die rushed in.
