Chapter 224 Too Far
Chapter 224 Too Far
"You have said many times that even if I kill you now... you will not resist?" Yannian turned around suddenly and locked Lan's Adam's apple with one hand, forcing Lan to raise his head. The larynx made a slight "click" sound under Yannian's fingers.
Lan was having trouble breathing, he knew Yannian was serious.
Isn't this a case of mental breakdown?
In an instant, my heart sank to the bottom.
But he did not resist. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and uttered words with difficulty.
"You wanted to kill me... why did you save me then?"
"I've never done anything to offend you."
Yannian's eyes darkened and the thoughts in his heart roared.
Kill him, kill him.
Wait - you still need him, and you have to use him to go to the battlefield and find the Head of Sui Yang.
Only Lan's suicide squad went to that battlefield, and the vague records in history books are the only clues at present.
The power of Suihuang cannot be underestimated. Without 100% certainty, he needs Lan to weaken the opponent so that he can take action.
"You did... Lan, but the funny thing is, I'm just an insignificant number among those people."
"Those who live because of you have no right to judge you, but I... am different from them."
After some mental struggle, Yannian let go of Lan.
"Remember your words, your life belongs to me..." Yannian didn't look at Lan again.
"As for how credible my words are... you can have someone check on him."
"But don't blame me for not reminding you. Sui Yang has infiltrated Yao Qing. It can absorb the host's knowledge, avoid the visible light frequency band, and disappear into invisibility - but one Sui Yang cannot possess the body of another Sui Yang."
"They can create all kinds of fantasies to seduce humans..."
Yannian threw a bunch of talismans to Lan, his expression cold, "Suiyang is almost impossible to kill, he can only be sealed."
"Also, if parasitized, if the condition is not serious, you can temporarily stun and anesthetize the host, depriving Sui Yang of his emotional food and freeing himself."
Previously, Jackdaw used a talisman to suppress Sui Yang in Huo Huo's tail. He found it very interesting. When the tail was not obedient, he often used some strange methods to make the tail weak.
For example, when he asked Wei Ba to memorize a large number of Xian Zhou books, he would flip through the files at the desk while muttering indifferently, "Wei Ba, do you know what it means to restrain yourself and return to the fox?"
"To restrain oneself and restore the fox is to restrain one's own selfish thoughts and return respect and benefits to every fox..."
Tail screamed in despair, and transformed his hands to cover his ears, "Stop nagging, you old immortal Ten Kings. I have a headache. I get it. I won't bully Huo Huo anymore, okay?"
"Let me out quickly--" Wei Ba desperately banged his head against the door until he slipped off the door and collapsed on the ground, while Yan Nian picked up his pen to revise the article as if nothing had happened, still working on popular science.
"Tails, do you know what it means to share weal and woe?"
"It means that you and Huo Huo will stick together in times of trouble... Do you know what it means to not do to a fox what you don't want done to yourself?"
"The meaning is very simple. It means that if you don't want it, you can't make things difficult for Fox, because Fox is part of the fairy boat. Tail, do you understand?"
"Tail, tail, tail..."
A week later, Huo Huo came to take over.
As soon as the door opened, Wei Ba threw himself into Huo Huo's arms, howling loudly and holding her tightly. "Huo Huo, I want to go home with you, now!"
"Tail." Yannian's eyes darkened and his tone was displeased.
His tail trembled, his ears drooped on both sides, he didn't dare look back at Yannian, and whispered weakly, "What—I didn't do anything."
"I didn't bully her."
Yannian's expression relaxed, and he patted Wei's head, his tone softening in a rare moment, "Wei's, you did very well, you learned well, and you know how to hug when you meet."
"Huohuo, Tail is so enthusiastic, how can you look scared... Come, I will give you a week of special training." Yannian called Huohuo in.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I, I'm still afraid..." Huo Huo's eyes were filled with tears, and she covered her face and followed Yannian.
The door was closed, leaving Tail stunned.
"Hey - where should I go? Just waiting here?" Tail was dumbfounded. After the torture of the past few days, he was filled with longing, and when the Ten Kings intervened, he had no place to vent and felt very uncomfortable.
Compared with the Ten Kings, Huo Huo is extremely cute. It is extremely disgusted with the Ten Kings and does not want to stay with them for even a second.
The tail banged against the door a few times in anger, imitating the scratching of claws, but soon slid down again and collapsed to the ground with despair.
Yannian's mumbling could be heard again from inside.
"Huo Huo, do you know what it means to restrain oneself and restore one's tail?"
"It's about restraining your own distracting thoughts and returning respect to the tail..."
"Huohuo, Huohuo, Huohuo..."
Yannian put away his memories. He seemed to have thought too much. Anyway, the fox and the tail got along quite well afterwards. At least they were very enthusiastic in front of him.
In order to avoid his nagging, Wei Ba also took on his personal commission and guarded the secret room for him.
"Brother Yun...I believe you."
A crisp sound passed by his ears, and Yannian glanced at Lan.
Lan touched his reddened neck. His eyes were no longer filled with resentment, but rather gentle. He retracted his cold gaze, clenched the talisman, and moved his lips, "I... won't hurt you."
"I don't understand what you are saying."
"But thank you, Brother Yun, because your talisman will save many people."
"Because you saved me, I want to save more people... This will never change." Lan smiled with her eyes curved, sharp and gentle.
"But...never mind—"
Lan wanted to say something, but seeing Yannian's expression was emotionless, the words got stuck in his throat.
He didn't understand the source of the matter he wanted to investigate, and the other party was unwilling to say.
He wanted to explain and ease the relationship, not because he was afraid of death, but just because he wanted to... understand the person in his heart better.
Although it was only a few steps away, Lan felt it was very far away. He could only watch Yannian leave, reaching out his hand to touch him, but in the end, he fell in a long silence.
