Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

Chu Lingyun felt a pang of panic, clenched her fist abruptly, and blurted out,

"No!...Why are you suddenly asking about Master?"

"I sent several messengers to him with letters, but he hasn't replied. I don't know what he's doing!"

Yin Liuli raised her hand to her chin, looking troubled, and said...

"The wedding day is almost here, why haven't the old folks come yet? I miss them so much..."

Looking at that pure, jade-like face and those crystal-clear eyes, Chu Lingyun had already made a decision in his heart in an instant.

In this world, he can lose anything, but not his junior sister!

If Gu Jinyan were to die because of his junior sister, he would gladly give his life in return!

"Perhaps, perhaps he has wandered off somewhere."

Chu Lingyun gave a vague, perfunctory reply, while subtly pushing the letter hidden in her sleeve further inside.

Yin Liuli pouted and said with dissatisfaction,

"If Master and the others don't come soon, I'm going to storm back to Xuanqing Temple and drag him to the capital!"

Chu Lingyun gave a bitter smile.

Master has such a big matter on his mind, how dare you come?

"The wine is almost finished, why isn't Gu Jinyan here yet?"

Yin Liuli held her wine glass and couldn't help but glance outside a few times.

A hint of disappointment lingered in his dark eyes, and he was already somewhat intoxicated.

She raised her hand to support her head, and stretched out a slender finger to draw aimlessly circles on the table.

Gu Jinyan, why aren't you here yet?

My mother and I now have our own residence, and we have completely severed ties with the Yin Marquis's mansion.

Gu Jinyan, I have so much to say to you...

……

Villa.

Gu Jinyan slumped against the wall, slowly collapsing into a seat.

There was only one candle burning in the room.

The dim light illuminated his handsome face, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes deep and unfathomable.

A jade pot lay beside him, the dripping wine seeming to mock him, striking his heart with each drop.

Seven Killings Destiny... Seven Killings Destiny...

It turns out that Yin Liuli married him in order to borrow his destiny to overcome her heavenly tribulation!

Was she only trying to overcome her tribulation?

So what does his affection for her amount to after all these days?

This matter concerns his life, so why was he the last person to know?

Is it because she's afraid he'll find out and won't be willing to withstand the heavenly tribulation for her, so she deliberately keeps it from him?

It turns out he was just someone who could be used...

"Clap clap clap..."

Countless inexplicable thoughts were stuck in Gu Jinyan's heart. He pounded his head a few times, grabbed the jade pot, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"Cough cough cough..."

He choked on his drink without realizing it, coughed violently a few times, and his chest heaved up and down.

In the dim candlelight, his face, with its cold and resolute features, appeared particularly lonely and defeated.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came from outside the window, and a crane flew in and landed on his shoulder.

Gu Jinyan instinctively raised his hand to grab it, but his hand stopped the moment he touched it.

He slowly wiped the wine stains from the corner of his lips, his gloomy eyes revealing an unreadable mood.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Jinyan finally managed to bring the Crane Envoy close to him.

Slowly opening it, on the palm-sized piece of paper, only three words were written crookedly.

It was his name, "Gu Jinyan," with a thin tail trailing behind it.

It's obvious he's had too much to write like this!

Gu Jinyan's gloomy eyes widened in surprise, and the corners of his lips involuntarily lifted slightly.

All the emotions surging in his eyes suddenly dissipated like smoke blown by the wind.

"Someone come here..."

He staggered to his feet and ordered, "Prepare the horses!"

……

"Bang bang bang..."

In the early hours of the morning, the gate of Princess Anle's residence was shaken violently by someone banging on it.

The gatekeeper yawned and asked in a gruff voice,

"Who is it? What brings you to knock on the door in the middle of the night? Why aren't you getting some sleep...?"

"Quickly tell your princess that the young master is in trouble!"

……

When Yin Liuli arrived at the villa, Gu Jinyan was slumped on the ground, his face ashen, and blood was constantly oozing from his mouth.

His sharply defined face was covered with an eerie bluish-black hue.

Between her eyebrows, a faint black line, like an earthworm, snaked and stretched towards her hairline at a visible speed.

Yin Liuli tested her breath with her finger; it was barely a whisper.

His last breath could come at any moment.

How could this happen!

"Gu Jinyan!"

Yin Liuli's expression changed, and a sense of panic she had never felt before swept over her heart.

She raised her hand to draw a talisman in her palm, but her fingers trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Someone, bring me a bowl of water!"

Chu Lingyun grabbed Yin Liuli's trembling hand, gave it a firm squeeze, and then took Gu Jinyan's hand.

He took out a packet of silver needles from his bag, picked out one about the size of a match head, and poked it into the tip of Gu Jinyan's index finger.

"Tick-tock..."

Blood dripped from the fingertip into the bowl.

Chu Lingyun channeled his true energy into his sword finger, swiftly drawing a talisman on the water's surface while rapidly chanting an incantation.

"The heavens are clear and the earth is at peace; the sun and moon shine brightly. The Supreme Lord Laozi commands a remedy, the evil spirits are revealed, and their causes are clearly understood… So be it!"

As soon as the word "order" was uttered, the water in the bowl began to bubble and boil, as if it were being boiled.

The drop of blood dissolved and slowly formed a faint black line, like a snake swimming in water.

"Senior Brother, this is a Corpse Demon!"

Yin Liuli cried out in disbelief, "How could Gu Jinyan be afflicted by the Corpse Fiend!"

Chu Lingyun frowned, his voice low and deep.

"Junior sister, look, there's a faint red thread intertwined within the malevolent aura... it's the Crimson-Eyed Corpse Fiend."

Yin Liuli gasped.

"The Crimson-Eyed Corpse Demon is a Corpse King among the Corpse Demons, whose cultivation is close to that of a demon!"

"Corpse Demon Devours Souls. I will now administer acupuncture to suppress the corpse energy within his body."

"Liuli, use a talisman to suppress his soul and protect his heart meridian to prevent damage to his vital energy."

Chu Lingyun pulled out a silver needle and deeply inserted it into the flesh between Gu Jinyan's eyebrows.

"I know, senior brother!"

The momentary panic had subsided, and Yin Liuli focused her mind and raised her hand, about to draw a "Soul-Soothing and Spirit-Calming Talisman" in her palm.

Just then, a phantom image slowly appeared on Gu Jinyan's body, exactly the same as his appearance and clothing.

The phantom appeared and disappeared, rising and falling on his body.

"Oh no, his soul is about to dissipate!"

Chu Lingyun whispered, then immediately pulled out another silver needle, pressed it against Gu Jinyan's cheek, and was about to stab it again.

"Bang……"

With a soft sound, the silver needle that had been deeply embedded in the flesh suddenly popped out.

Chu Lingyun's expression changed.

Gu Jinyan's soul suddenly spilled out of his body and flew out the window.

"Gu Jinyan!"

Yin Liuli cried out in surprise, and with a flick of her fingers, a flash of light appeared at her fingertips.

She leaped towards the spirit, and just as he flew out of the window, she caught his hand.

Chu Lingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Junior Sister's ability to use invisible talismans, Gu Jinyan's soul would have been in danger if it had flown away.

"Gu Jinyan, don't move!"

Yin Liuli gripped his hand tightly, her clear eyes sparkling, and softly called his name, as if coaxing a child, murmuring...

"Come back, come back with me... I'm Liuli, Gu Jinyan, come back with Liuli..."

Gu Jinyan hovered in mid-air, his face expressionless, his deep eyes empty and dull, devoid of any light.

He stared blankly at Yin Liuli, showing no reaction to her calls.

He is now a wandering spirit, his soul in a state of chaos and confusion, unable to recognize his own family.
