Chapter 75
HEART PROTECTION: CHAPTER 75
At once Yan Hui became curious: "What did you make him see?"
"It's not what I made him see . I like to eat happy emotions, so what you guys saw were the perfect moments in your life . You saw your senior disciple . He saw . . . . . . . . "
"The illusion still isn't broken . Do you want me to break it personally?" Tian Yao suddenly cut in before the little illusion demon finished . His words succeeded in diverting Yan Hui's attention .
"So this place is also an illusion?" Yan Hui was surprised . She narrowed her eyes at the little demon . "Are you still trying to scheme against us?"
The little demon felt somewhat resentful and wronged by those words: "You already are wearing my ring . I can't do anything to you!" She paused and looked down a fraction . Her expression was dark . "I created this illusion for myself . . . . . . . . "
Tian Yao gave no quarter: "Break it . " He was always on alert around strangers, mistrustful as always .
The little illusion demon gritted her teeth . She glared at Tian Yao and angrily said: "Fine! I'll undo it! But it's you who wanted me to!"
With those words, she flourished her sleeves . The twinkling blue-pillard palace immediately started to waver . The lights started to him . The clean, glossy stone floor started to form cracks and split . Broken and crushed rocks appeared everywhere . The pillars were also badly damaged . Only the black mist above their heads remained . A look upwards caused a hard to suppress vertigo .
Although this place was at the bottom of Black River, there was no water here . When the illusion was completely gone, Yan Hui felt a sudden chill .
Yan Hui was still looking upwards at the black mist . She suddenly heard the little demon give a slight mocking sneer . It was immediately followed by a large robe draping over head .
Yan Hui yanked the robe off of her head and saw Tian Yao had turned his back . His voice was strained and rough: "Wear it . "
Yan Hui looked down . That's when she discovered . . . . . . . . . shit . . . . . . .
She was stark naked!
Yan Hui blushed . She hurriedly put on Tian Yao's robe and rapidly tied it in place .
The little demon off to the side started to laugh: "Why did you look away? Feeling awkward? You were the one who wanted me to remove the illusion!"
Tian Yao clenched his hands into fists . His eyes narrowed, and a fireball immediately flew towards the laughing demon . The demon hurriedly dodged . The fireball smashed into the ground, leaving a gouge . The little demon repeatedly yelped: "I was following your orders! If you're mad out of embarrassment, hit yourself! Why are you blaming me?!"
Tian Yao darkly rebuked her: "Be quiet . "
Yan Hui finished arranging the robe . She glanced at Tian Yao out of the corner of her eyes . His ears were flushed red . Looks like he really was angry out of shyness .
This kind of Tian Yao, Yan Hui . . . . . . saw for the first time .
The illusion demon leapt to Yan Hui's side . She hid from Tian Yao and clutched Yan Hui's arm: "You're my master now, so you have to protect me . If I die, the ring will cut off your pinkie . "
Yan Hui was stunned when she heard that . She no longer cared with Tian Yao was shy or not . She immediately looked at the little demon: "What kind of custom is that?!"
"I will do things for you, so of course you have the duty to protect me . Us illusion demons, aside from creating illusions to eat emotions, actually don't have a lot of power . Compared to other demons, we don't have much for self-defense . That's why we want to attach ourselves to strong demons . If you don't protect me well, then the price is the ring cutting off your finger . "
Yan Hui: " . . . . . . . . what use do you have?"
The little illusion demon thought about it: "I can cast illusions to give you good dreams . "
Yan Hui made a move to remove the ring: "Then you can go ahead and die . I'm going to protect my pinkie . "
The little demon freaked out and hurriedly clutched at Yan Hui's hand: "I can let you see your senior brother every night!"

Yan Hui paused her movements .
"Who ever you want to meet, I"ll let you meet . What ever you want to dream tonight, I'll let you dream . " The little demon honestly looked at Yan Hui . "My name is Huan Xiao Yan . Please call me Dream Maker . "
Yan Hui was silent for a long time . Then she looked down: "Do you have other abilities?"
"Wait until I get stronger . Then I can enter the minds of people to create an illusion and tamper with their memories . Only these past decades, I didn't have much to eat, so I'm not very strong . It's impossible right now . "
Yan Hui was baffled . She swept her gaze around the dilapidated palace . "50 years ago, the depths of Black River were already like this . You didn't have anything to eat, so how come you're not dead?"
Huan Xiao Yan scratched her head in embarrassment: "I would've died . I've been hungry these 50 years, so I created an illusion for myself when the palace was at its former glory . I relied on eating my own emotions to live . "
Yan Hui fell silent at those words .
Huan Xiao Yanwas also silent . But after a few short moments, she returned back to her angry state and shot Tian Yao a glare: "I stayed in my illusions, so I could be a little happy . You harsh and suspicious types want to strip my last bit of happiness away! Bad person!"
Tian Yao acted like he didn't hear a word and looked away in another direction . After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Since it's like this, why didn't you leave? Live somewhere else besides Black River?"
"The tremor 50 years ago buried my parents here . I stay here to watch over their graves . " Huan Xiao Yan pointed at the ring on Yan Hui's finger . "But now you're my master . If you insist on leaving, then I can't continue living here . "
Yan Hui looked at her own hand: "Sorry, but I really must leave this place . "
Huan Xiao Yan pouted: "I know . I can see what is in your hearts . "

All three people fell silent after those words . The only sound in the destroyed palace was the rushing water overhead in the inky blackness .
Finally, Tian Yao broke the silence . He asked Yan Hui: "Is all your cultivation washed away?"
"There's still some remnants left," replied Yan Hui . "But it's just a matter of walking around in Black River . "
Tian Yao nodded: "So after leaving this place, taking a dip in Black River and coming back will be enough . There shouldn't be much left . "
Yan Hui agreed and looked up at the seemingly endless blackness: "Outside awaits countless plots and schemes against us . "
31 miles away from Chen Xing Mountain, Ling Fei stood in front of Su Ying . She still wore the veiled hat so no one could see her face, but her aura revealed her gloominess . Su Ying sat in the host's position in the hall, somewhat at odds with the majestic surroundings . She was currently embroidering flowers onto a blue cloak .
Compared to Ling Fei's gloomy aura, Su Ying was much more tranquil: "Killing Ling Xiao's head disciple was truly overboard . " Su Ying continued without raising her head . "Now we are like fire and water with the demon clans . Out of all the people, Zi Chen was a sincere cultivator . He was a broad-minded and just person . It's hard to come by . "
Ling Fei's heart tightened . She slightly gritted her teeth: "I also didn't think that the spell . . . . . . . would be so strong . I also . . . . . . . . didn't have time to react . "
That's when Su Ying raised her head with disapproval: "Can you handle a spell cast by Zhenren Qi Guang?"
Ling Fei was silent for a split second then angrily said: "It's still a shame that it didn't kill Yan Hui . " She gritted her teeth . "No one expected that powerful dragon demon to save her . "
When those words dropped, Su Ying's hand silently shook . The needle pricked her finger, and blood dripped onto the blue cloak . Su Ying silently wiped at the blood to keep it from Ling Fei's notice . The strange thing was the blood dripped on the cloak didn't absorb into the cloak . Rather, it was completely wiped away by Su Ying . Not a mark was left behind .
"Oh?" Su Ying continued to embroider . "How strong was the dragon demon?"
"It forcefully broke the soaring killing spell and melted the Heavenly Jian . " Ling Fei paused for a moment before continuing: "Luckily it didn't linger at Chen Xing Mountain . "

Su Ying put down the cloak . Her eyes were slightly cold . She thought it over before saving: "Since you returned, cultivate for these days while you're here . Out of the three main sects, Guang Han Sect is the closest to Qing Qiu . Earlier, the demon clans crossed San Chong Mountain to do a probing attack . Although they didn't reach our sect, we must increase our vigilance . The main entrance at the bottom of the mountain needs guards . For now, you'll help me guard the gate . That way if there are any movements, I'll have less to worry about . "
Ling Fei nodded .
"Go ahead and pack . Then go to the gate and keep an eye on the boundary spell . The boundary hasn't been crossed . It's also the safest place . "
Ling Fei complied and left . Su Ying sat alone in the hall for a long time . Suddenly, she knocked twice on the chair's armrest . Smoke wreathed on the floor, and a person kneeling on one knee appeared in it . He respectfully murmured: "Sect Master . "
"Go investigate," Su Ying's eyes were cold . They were like ice . "The background of Chen Xing Mountain's Yan Hui and how she's involved with the dragon demon, Tian Yao . "
"Yes . "
The man in the fog immediately disappeared . There was no one else in the hall . Su Ying's back, which had been ramrod straight, finally relaxed a little . She looked at the cloak in her hand in silence .
After Ling Fei gathered her things, she planned to head down the mountain and unintentionally passed the courtyard's lake . Guang Han Sect was frozen year-around . Thus the lake was also frozen year-around . The shore was also dusted with snow . A scholar stood at the shore . At that moment, Su Ying was draping the blue cloak she was embroidering over the scholar's shoulders .
The scholar didn't even turn his head
Su Ying didn't say much . She just lightly said: "Guang Han Sect is unlike other places . Your wound isn't healed yet . Mind your health . "
The scholar acted like he didn't a word . He just stared fixedly at the lake in front of him . Su Ying stood with him for awhile and then left .
Ling Fei knew about her sister's infatuation with the scholar . She sighed and was about to leave when she saw the scholar carelessly grab the cloak and throw it onto the frozen lake . He turned and left the pavilion .
Ling Fei was stunned . She advanced and looked at the scholar's retreating back . Then she went and picked up the discarded cloak from the lake . In the burst of sunshine, she thought she saw a scale-pattern on the blue cloak . However when she took a closer look, she didn't see anything .
