Chapter 645 I'll coax you too
A gentle breeze rustled through the reeds in Jinyue Lake, sending large swathes of reed fluff swaying in the wind and soaring towards the sky.
The homesick wanderer will never return.
Xue Lan didn't know how to comfort the person in front of her, so the red fish dragged the water ball forward and gently touched the person's forehead with its own.
"You won't be lonely anymore."
In the illusion, Lord Wolf King held the water ball in surprise:
"Will I comfort people like this in the future? I've changed so much."
Xue Lan didn't speak, but simply brushed her tail lightly across the woman's palm. Her actions resembled those of a red fish that hadn't yet developed any intelligence.
In her past life, Xue Lan knew she didn't want to answer the question, so she smiled gently and said:
"What do you need me to do?"
Xue Lan looked up at her, a faint green aura appearing between her brows:
"This is the aura of the person who orchestrated this."
The moment the aura appeared, a layer of ice appeared in the white-haired woman's eyes.
"Lin Qi?"
She tilted her head and looked at Xue Lan, her tone playful:
“It’s so unexpected!”
Xue Lan was familiar with this tone and this expression.
This is what large predators look like before they begin toying with their prey.
The pale green aura was contained in the white-clad woman's palm as she lowered her eyelashes:
"I would treat him well, if I were still here."
"Of course you will."
Xue Lan spun around inside the water sphere, then passed through it, landing in human form, her red dress as vibrant as fire.
It was as if the red fish had come to life.
The woman's greyish-white eyes were clear. She raised a finger to her lips and then softly uttered:
"Certainly!"
A faint, water-like radiance rippled outwards, and everything in the illusion that touched it froze as if it were solidified.
In the courtyard not far behind the two, an old woman held a water chestnut in her hand, a gentle smile on her lips.
Motionless, as if a figure in a painting.
Xue Lan flicked her sleeves:
"If you are no longer here, how can I repay Lin Qi's generous gift?"
As she spoke, her fingers flew across the paper, and in no time, an incredibly complex hand seal appeared in the woman's hand.
This mudra has two layers, each with a different function.
"Gather the soul, mend the broken..."
The person opposite spoke softly, then looked at Xue Lan with some surprise:
"what do you want to do?"
Xue Lan smiled, her eyes crinkling:
"No matter how much they like me, they are still just a bunch of remnant souls. How could they know what the real Xue Lan is like?"
"The illusion created by the remnant soul is not powerful enough; it's just a defective product that can't catch the mouse I want."
A thin red line appeared at Xue Lan's fingertip, slowly extending to the ring finger of the person opposite her.
The moment the connection was completed, the inner demon hiding at the bottom of Jinyue Lake stirred and suddenly transformed into human form.
A red thread was tied to her ring finger, connecting her soul power to the entire illusion.
Xue Lan raised her hand and grasped the wrist of the person opposite her, signaling her not to overthink it.
Only I know what I am like.
Regardless of who Lin Qi left this illusion to protect herself from, she would make it the most indelible nightmare in his thousands of years of cultivation.
They calculate everything, they scheme at all times.
There will always be a day when you can't predict the future.
Within the illusion, Lord Wolf looked at Xue Lan's lifeless gray eyes, asked no further questions, and slowly withdrew his hand:
"I will keep him here."
"Thank you very much."
Xue Lan smiled and spoke, the magic seal in her left hand slowly rising into the sky, transforming into a huge magic shield above Jin Yue Lake. Hundreds of golden threads extended down from it, pulling the remnant souls of everyone in Jin Yue Lake upwards one by one.
The people, with gentle smiles on their faces, transformed into beams of golden light, which finally converged into a sphere of light within the seal above their heads.
In the illusion, Xue Lan turned around, and the old woman who had been tidying up the water chestnuts for her was no longer behind her; only the small basket under the eaves remained.
Seeing that she looked somewhat forlorn, Xue Lan raised her hand and put the remnant soul orb into her sleeve, then strode forward and landed under the eaves like a red cloud.
Lord Wolf skillfully took a water chestnut from the basket, broke it open, and handed it to the person opposite him.
"I am leaving……"
Xue Lan smiled and said:
"Everything will be alright in the future,"
"it is good."
The Wolf King in the illusion nodded slightly:
"I believe you."
"Have you gotten so used to coaxing little girls that you even have to coax yourself now?"
Beneath the vast expanse of the East China Sea, the inner demon spoke as he repaired the formation, his tone full of mockery.
Unfortunately, Xue Lan was shameless.
The woman in red, holding a sphere of light that contained all the remnants of souls from Jin Yue Lake, spoke without batting an eye:
“A great and upright cultivator once said that there is a secret method to make girls happy.”
The inner demon grinned: "Which upright cultivator said that? How come I don't know anything about it?"
Xue Lan straightened her clothes, her expression serious and solemn:
"That's what Xue Tong said."
The inner demon rolled its eyes and said sharply:
"You two are both sick."
"What's so great about telling me? Go talk to Xue Tong about it," Xue Lan said cheekily.
The inner demon ignored her and changed the subject to get down to business:
"The scheme for that old bastard Lin Qi is all set up. Next, shouldn't we go and let your sister Fusang go see her friend?"
Xue Lan was slightly taken aback: "My Fusang... sister?"
"Yes." The inner demon smiled maliciously.
"The one that touches your ears and tail."
Xue Lan couldn't understand how such a relationship between her and her inner demon could possibly exist in the world.
It's both incredibly difficult and unavoidable.
"If I promised someone, I would naturally do it, especially..."
Xue Lan paused slightly:
"I greatly admire that Moon Toad Demon Lord."
After saying this, Xue Lan stretched out a hand towards her inner demon:
"Come here, I have something for you."
The inner demon didn't want to go over; she stood a short distance away, fully on guard.
"I'm not going, I'm afraid you'll slap me."
Xue Lan clicked her tongue softly:
"Can't we have a little trust between us? We've been through thick and thin together, after all."
The inner demon shook its head quickly.
Xue Lan began the countdown:
"three!"
"two!"
"one……"
"I'm here! I'm here!"
The inner demon floated lightly to Xue Lan's side, extending a hand a few steps away, its expression somewhat resigned to its fate.
Xue Lan: Am I some kind of bad person who has no martial ethics?
Inner Demon: Isn't that right?
The inner demon used the darkest thoughts of his life to speculate on Xue Lan's intentions, guessing that this person had probably come up with some dirty trick to make her get scolded by Xue Tong again.
Unfortunately, Xue Lan really didn't have any bad intentions this time.
Someone placed something slightly damp in Xue Lan's outstretched palm, and she left.
"Don't be envious, I'm just trying to comfort you."
Before the inner demon could process what was happening, Xue Lan placed a water chestnut in her hand.
Water chestnuts covered in damp moisture.
The woman gently bit her lip:
"Why won't you pry it open for me?"
"If we don't get along, the wolf's fangs will bite open on their own!"
So said the Wolf King.
