Chapter 225: 3 Plays with Yu Meiren
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi got Hou Yi's white feather arrows and obtained the power of the heavenly soul from the beasts in the mountains and forests. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.
Li Yi stayed in the Dongyi Secret Realm for three days, exchanged the Hundred Beasts Fist with the children being trained, and learned the formation of the Dongyi Guard. This formation was left by Hou Yi for the Dongyi Guard to kill the third-grade monster. He also specially captured monsters for the Dongyi Guard to train. This formation was repeatedly improved after many practices.
This formation is based on spiritual power and supplemented by Qi. It is a formation exclusive to the Dongyi Guard. However, people who practice both martial arts and Taoism can also master it, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of the Dongyi Guard.
That night, Li Yi was roasting wild game with the children around the fire. When the Dongyi guards who were taking a break came back with wine and meat, he organized a bonfire party. However, they were not having fun, because there was only one jar of wine and each person could not get much.
Li Yi said unhappily: "No, why didn't you bring back more wine? Just one jar, what can it do?"
Wei Ding said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, we would like to fight more, but we don't have the money."
Li Yi turned his head and looked at the simple house on the tree, sighing: "Well, that's right, you are either practicing or working, how can you have time to make money. Well, since I'm here, I can't come for nothing."
As he spoke, Li Yi took out gold cakes and antiques one by one from the sack. The group was stunned, as they had never seen so many treasures before.
Li Yi smiled and said, "I'm not sure if I give these things to other people. It will be troublesome if someone targets us. It will be fine if I give them to you. You are skilled enough to protect yourselves. Take these things to the pawn shop to exchange for money, and give the children something good to eat! But you don't know much, so don't get cheated!" As he spoke, Li Yi began to estimate the price of these treasures, and then told them things to pay attention to, such as the possibility that merchants would cheat by replacing one thing with another or shortchanging them.
After saying this, Li Yi asked while eating meat: "By the way, why don't you let men get close to Jin Yao?"
Yi Tao waved his hands and said, "It's not that we don't allow men to get close to the young lady. It's her father who secretly sent people to do it. We just took the blame. Didn't Yu Quan support the third prince? The young lady's father wanted to marry the young lady to the prince, and then let the prince help him seize the position of head of the family. These people are really bad people. They are secretly doing bad things to their own family!"
Li Yi looked at Yi Ping and asked, "Oh, then why don't you let me get close to her?"
Yi Ping replied: "I didn't know you were my Lord at the time. I was afraid that you were going to do something bad and I couldn't stop you, so I warned you."
"Oh, then if I approach Jinyao again now, you won't stop me, right?"
Everyone waved their hands, and Li Yi asked, "Does Jin Yao know that she has a special identity?"
Yi Tao replied, "Miss, of course you know. We showed up when she was little and told her that we would always protect her. We also gave her an ocarina. Whenever she was in danger, she could blow the ocarina and all the Dongyi guards would rush to save her."
Li Yi asked: "Oh, then how long will you protect her?"
"When she gets married and gives birth safely, she can pass on Emperor Yao's bloodline."
"That's good. Hey, has there never been a case where a Dongyi guard fell in love with a descendant of Emperor Yao?"
Yi Tao said awkwardly, "It did happen before, and there was even a case of eloping with the descendant of Emperor Yao. That person was hunted down by other Dongyi Guards, and the ending was quite tragic. Later, the Dongyi Guards had a rule that they were not allowed to meet with the descendants of Emperor Yao alone, except in special circumstances."
"Then if I go to see her alone, would that be considered breaking the rules?"
Yi Tao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The rules are set for the Dongyi Guards. You are the King of Dongyi, so how can our rules apply to you?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "That's good. I won't be polite then! By the way, give me one of your whistles for transmitting sound, and teach me how to use it."
Li Yi missed Jin Yao's time to go to the dyeing workshop during the three days in Dongyi Valley, and she felt a little disappointed that she didn't see "Shen Lu". This is very strange. She knew that the other party was a playboy and had bad intentions, but she still thought about it and worried that he was killed by a mysterious person, or was crazy or disabled like other people who tried to get close to her.
For three days, Jin Yao didn't hear any news about "Shen Lu". She began to worry and lost her appetite. On the fourth day, she asked Xiang Xiao He: "Xiao He, have you heard any news about Shen Lu recently?"
Xiao He was surprised and said, "Yes, there is, but why do you care about him, Miss? Don't you want to know the news about the prince? The prince..."
"I don't want to know about the prince. Tell me how Shen Lu is doing."
"Oh, well, I heard Shen Lu has been missing for a few days."
"What? Missing? It's been a few days!"
Seeing the young lady's sad look, Xiao He asked, "Young lady, you haven't seen him, so what does his disappearance have to do with you? Or is that young man on the bridge Shen Lu? Did he disappear because he provoked you?"
In the middle of the night, Jinyao was suddenly awakened by the barking of a dog outside her boudoir. "Xiaohe, go see where this stray dog came from and how it got into my yard. Ask someone to drive it away."
Xiao He rubbed her eyes and pushed open the door, muttering: "You are such a fool, disturbing my young lady's rest. I will have someone beat you up and eat your meat!" She was knocked unconscious as soon as she stepped out of the room. It was naturally done by Master Li. He carried Xiao He into the house and put her away.
"Xiao He? Have the wild dogs been driven away?"
"There's no stray dog, but there is a pervert. Miss Yu, we meet again."
"Shen Lu? Didn't you go missing? How come you're okay? Don't come over here, or I'll call for help!"
"Yeah, I know this phrase! Should I reply to you? No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."
"Ah! Help! Help!" Jin Yao shouted for a long time but no one came. Li Yi used his talent to block the sound, it would be strange if anyone could hear it!
Jin Yao took out the ocarina given to her by Dong Yi Wei and started to play it. Li Yi rubbed his ears and said, "Stop playing it. Those mysterious people who are protecting you will not come to save you!"
"You! How do you know them!?"
"Then you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, it's just you and me now. You said you were half-hearted, so let's get it done. Or do you resist to the end and let Mr. Shen have something exciting?"
Yu Jinyao suddenly smashed the ocarina, held the pieces to her throat and said, "You lecher! I'd rather die than obey you!"
"Oh, you chaste heroine! Well, then just kill yourself. When you die, I'll dump your body in the yard, naked!"
"You! I'm going to fight you!" Jin Yao picked up the fragment and stabbed Li Yi. The latter did not dodge or evade, and was stabbed in the chest by the fragment.
Jin Yao was surprised and asked, "You! Why don't you hide? Don't you have some cultivation skills?"
Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, use a sharp weapon to stab that person's eyes. The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the human body. Even a cultivator cannot help but be on guard."
Li Yi pulled up Jin Yao's bleeding hand and gathered the power of the Heavenly Soul on it. Soon, Jin Yao's wound healed. He wiped off the blood, examined it carefully and said with a smile: "Very good, no scars left, still flawless white jade."
Jin Yao immediately pulled her hand back and looked at Li Yi in disbelief. The latter smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If I were really a bad guy, I wouldn't be talking to you here."
"Then you're not a good person either! What good person would say something like that?"
"Look at what you said. Even if it's the most beautiful love, someone has to speak first, right? Since you're embarrassed to say it, I have to speak first."
"Are you done yet?"
"I haven't said anything yet, how come you've finished?"
"Then go ahead and I'll listen."
"Yu Jinyao, I like you, are you willing to be with me..."
"I don't want to! Well, now that you've finished talking, you can go now!"
"No, are you rejecting me so straightforwardly? Are you not even going to think about it again?"
"Don't even think about it! I don't like you!"
"Oh my god, how can you lie like that? We are obviously attracted to each other! I like you, and you like me too!"
Yu Jinyao took a deep breath and said seriously, "Mr. Shen, I really don't like you, and there is no possibility between us! Just give up on this idea!"
"Oh, forget it. The flowers have feelings but the water is ruthless. I'm leaving! I'm really leaving! I'm really, really leaving!"
"Come on!"
The door opens and closes with two sighs, people come and go and the moon is silent.
I lean against the window to look but cannot find you. The bed is warm at night but I sleep alone on the cold pillow.
Just when Jin Yao thought that "Shen Lu" had left, she heard a song in her heart. It was Li Yi singing for her alone using the Buddhist method of passing on the heart's words. He sang the song "Golden Jade Marriage":
Even if it is a destined marriage, there will be hardship.
Don't worry too much about right or wrong. Giving in for love is not a loss.
Hold your hand tightly and walk through my days and nights
If love is a destined encounter, why is there so much pain?
What covered your eyes and made you no longer appreciate my efforts?
If love is the protection of mutual affection, why is there so much bitterness?
What is blocking my steps? I feel sorry for your helplessness.
Even if it is a destined marriage, there will be hardship.
Don't worry too much about right or wrong. Giving in for love is not a loss.
Hold your hand tightly and walk through my days and nights
After singing the song, Li Yi jumped onto the roof and found the Dongyi Wei Xin who was on duty. Seeing Li Yi's helpless expression, the latter smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you hit a wall?"
"What are you hitting a wall for? What do you know? This is called the tug of love! By the way, go back and ask Yi Tao to make her another ocarina. The previous one was broken. Ask the person on duty tomorrow to give it to me and I will give it to her."
"Okay. Miss seems to have to go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow. Let Wei Ding give it to the Lord tomorrow?"
Li Yi said excitedly: "Not bad! You have a bright future! In a few days, the Lord will give you a sister-in-law!"
"Okay, thank you, my Lord!" Li Yi patted Wei Xin on the shoulder and left with a smile...
The next day, in the main hall of Ling'an Temple, Jin Yao and her maid Xiao He were about to burn incense when they saw "Shen Lu" coming towards them. Xiao He pulled Jin Yao's sleeve and said, "Miss, Miss, look! Isn't that the handsome young man who jumped into the river? He's not dead! He doesn't look crazy! Miss, is he looking at you? He is looking at you! He is coming towards us, he is coming, he is coming!"
"Shut up and be calm! Maybe he's here to burn incense, too!"
"How is that possible! He must be here to see the lady!"
However, the slap in the face came so quickly. Li Yi walked to Jinyao's side, without stopping, and directly passed her and reached out to help another beauty. This beauty was naturally Zhang Hongchen, who was dressed in a plain white dress, fresh and elegant. When she walked past Yu Jinyao, she gave her an intriguing smile, called "Shen Lang", and walked away hand in hand with Li Yi.
"Miss! He! She! What's wrong with him! Didn't he say on the bridge that he wanted to see you? It wasn't like five hundred years this, five hundred years that. How come! It's only been a few days, how come he's already getting along with another woman!"
"Let's go!" Jin Yao flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.
"Hey, miss, we haven't burnt incense yet! Aren't we here to burn incense? No more!"
"No! I pray to the Buddha every day, but the Buddha never responds!"
"Amitabha, donor, cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the mind should not be exchanged for other things, Buddha..."
Jin Yao rolled her eyes at the monk, Xiao He snorted at him again, and then the two of them left angrily. The monk walked to Li Yi and said awkwardly, "Uncle Master, Donor Yu didn't even listen to what I said."
