Chapter Index

    I can’t let go of anything inside or outside the painting.

    Bai Chengying was not afraid to laugh back, “I never imagined that you would be the reincarnation of the Great Witch Lord. Otherwise, Qiu Yin’an would have become mine in the situation like that back then.”

    “You are really looking for death.” Wan Qiongju’s expression was sinister and frightening. He stretched out his hand, and the witch flag shot out of the air, carrying a black-gold murderous aura. It seemed that with his command, the aura could rush up and drown Bai Chengying.

    “Everyone, stay back. I will personally send him on his way today.” Wan Qiongju didn’t give Bai Chengying any chance to die. He waved his flag, and the flag wind turned into arrows, which fell from the sky in turn, all aiming at Bai Chengying.

    Bai Chengying swung his sword to block, and after he shot down one, another pair appeared. Gradually, the arrows seemed to be intertwined into an airtight net, trapping him. He had to gather all his spiritual power, pour it into the Lianxing Sword, and use his sword energy to break the net, and then he could breathe.

    Wan Qiongju lowered his eyes and snorted with a hint of sarcasm, “You have some ability, but it’s a pity that your opponent is me.”

    The appetizer just now failed to subdue Bai Chengying, but it has allowed Wan Qiongju to understand Bai Chengying’s strength. With his current cultivation level, he can get rid of Bai Chengying with ease.

    Wan Qiongju made a whirl of the shaman cultivator in his hand, and the flag moved with the wind, bursting out with full murderous intent.

    At the critical moment, Bai Chengying held the scroll of Yinxiu Mountains and Rivers and raised it to his chest, “Come on, kill me, and everyone in this painting will be buried with me.”

    In this Yinxiu Mountain and River Map, there are all disciples who are valued by various sects. Everyone in each sect knows that this great witch master is not a soft-hearted person, and they are all worried about the disciples of each sect.

    At this time, Qiu Yin’an stepped forward and took Wan Qiongju’s arm, “Yao Ye is still inside, don’t act rashly.”

    Wan Qiongju had no choice but to hold back the spell he was about to cast.

    Although he knew clearly that Qiu Yin’an stopped Wan Qiongju from taking action because he cared about Yao Ye, Bai Chengying couldn’t help but fantasize in his heart that Qiu Yin’an might have left some room for him, so he begged for mercy.

    He looked at Qiu Yin’an dreamingly, “Yin’an, how are you doing now? I was impulsive back then, and I have always regretted it. Fortunately, you are safe and sound now.”

    Now that Qiu Yin’an’s fear has dissipated, he looked at Bai Chengying coldly, “What do you want? How can you be willing to hand over the Yinxiu Mountains and Rivers Map?”

    Bai Chengying’s originally sharp voice turned soft, “I want to have a good talk with you, just the two of us.”

    “Dream.” Wan Qiongju was so angry that his chest was about to explode, and the anger in his heart was about to burst out. He didn’t care whether the people in the beautiful mountain and river map were dead or alive, he only cared about Qiu Yin’an.

    “Don’t be impulsive.” Qiu Yin’an held Wan Qiongju’s flag-holding wrist tightly and comforted him: “I will not agree to his unreasonable requests.”

    “You don’t agree?” Bai Chengying chuckled, “You decide whether Yao Ye lives or dies. The day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, which is the day you and I met. I have always wanted to take you to a place. You know how to get there. I will always wait for you. If you don’t come -”

    Bai Chengying shook the scroll in his hand. He stared at Qiu Yin’an and stepped back. “I can turn this beautiful mountain and river map into ashes in an instant. You will never see Yao Ye again, not even his whole body.”

    Qiu Yin’an broke into a cold sweat because of Bai Chengying’s words. He wanted to cut Bai Chengying into pieces with a thousand knives, but Bai Chengying held the beautiful mountains and rivers in his hands, and Qiu Yin’an was helpless even though he was filled with hatred.

    The more scared Qiu Yin’an became, the more satisfied Bai Chengying became. He showed a smile of success and said to Qiu Yin’an: “Let me go now. Remember, I only want you to come alone.”

    No one can bear it when they see a Taoist monk being teased like this, let alone Wan Qiongju who has reached the top of the world in the past three years, and no one dares to disrespect him. At this moment, he was furious, and the flag in his hand burst into a dazzling golden light, “Bai Chengying, I will definitely make your soul fly away and your bones will be gone.”

    “Don’t do it. Yao Ye is in his hands. Do you want me to blame you for the rest of your life?” Qiu Yin’an used all his strength to press Wan Qiongju’s flag-holding wrist, “Don’t push that lunatic Bai Chengying too hard. I don’t want Yao Ye to die.”

    The murderous look in Wan Qiongju’s eyes was suppressed by Qiu Yin’an’s repeated obstruction, “You are not allowed to agree to him.”

    This is Wan Qiongju’s order and also a compromise.

    “I know that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. We need to stabilize him first, and so do you.” Qiu Yin’an comforted Wan Qiongju and shouted to everyone: “Let him go, don’t stop him.”

    Wan Qiongju held his breath, but could only close the flag.

    When everyone saw that the great witch master had collected his flag, they cleared a path for Bai Chengying.

    Bai Chengying didn’t care what Qiu Yin’an said to Wan Qiongju. He seemed to be very sure. Before leaving, he looked at Qiu Yin’an and said, “I’ll wait for you.”

    Wan Qiongju was extremely afraid that Qiu Yin’an would do something that would make him sad because he was worried about Yao Ye’s safety, so since Bai Chengying left that day, he has stayed by Qiu Yin’an’s side, never leaving.

    Wan Qiongju sent many people to quietly follow Bai Chengying, looking for opportunities to retrieve the Yinxiu Mountains and Rivers Map. On the second night, there was finally news.

    In the study, Jian Fan was reporting back.

    “Great Witch Master, Bai Chengying should have discovered us early in the morning. He has been tormenting us. He just left us this note.”

    Qiu Yin’an was about to pick it up, but Wan Qiongju snatched it away first. He looked at the words “My Love Kiss” on it, and then looked at Wan Qiongju.

    Although Wan Qiongju pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, the anger in his eyes was enough to make people feel his anger.

    Qiu Yin’an stood next to Wan Qiongju and watched Wan Qiongju open the note with two lines written on it.

    “Yin’an, I love you, but I don’t have much patience. If Wan Qiongju sends people to keep an eye on me again, I will perish together with the Yinxiu Mountains and Rivers Map.”

    As soon as Qiu Yin’an finished reading these two lines, Wan Qiongju pressed his fingers together, and the provocation from Bai Chengying turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

    “Xiao Wan, call back all the people you sent. Don’t anger Bai Chengying.” Qiu Yin’an was upset by those two lines. He couldn’t think of a better way for a while, so he panicked and spoke his mind, “How about you let me go find him. I promise not to get hurt this time.”

    “Master, did you ever think about my feelings when you said this? You are mine. I know Bai Chengying has bad intentions for you. How could I send you into his hands?” Wan Qiongju grabbed Qiu Yin’an’s shoulders with both hands, as if he was trying to lift the person up from the ground.

    When Jian Fan saw this, he bowed silently and left, closing the study door.

    Wan Qiongju’s grip on Qiu Yin’an only increased with strength, “I know you care about Yao Ye, but can you also care about me? You can risk everything for him. Have you ever thought about what I should do if you have a shortcoming? I paid for your safety now. If something happens to you again, what else can I sacrifice for you?”

    Qiu Yin’an lowered his shoulders and hissed, “It hurts.”

    Wan Qiongju let go of his hand and took a deep breath, “In short, you must not take risks. If Yao Ye dies, I can avenge him at any time.”

    Qiu Yin’an’s brows were wrinkled like a ball of stretched waste paper, “There are so many people there. As the leader of this cultivation world, if you don’t care about the life and death of those people, how can you maintain your identity in the future?”

    “The reason why I can make them surrender is never through kindness and charity. If Master is worried about me, don’t run around. I will take care of Yao Ye’s matter.”

    Wan Qiongju held Qiu Yin’an’s hand and lowered his voice and said: “No man is willing to give up his beloved to others. Master, can you not blame me for Yao Ye’s incident?”

    Wan Qiongju is really pitiful. People who love deeply always want to risk their lives for another person, regardless of whether he will be worried or afraid.

    After Qiu Yin’an realized this problem in a daze, the anxiety in his heart gradually became sour.

    There is only one heart in a person. If you can take care of this part, you can’t take care of the other part.

    Qiu Yin’an undoubtedly loves Wan Qiongju, but his love for Wan Qiongju is slightly different from Wan Qiongju’s love for him.

    After witnessing Qiu Yin’an’s death once, Wan Qiongju’s love became much purer. He no longer wanted to promote the Witch Clan, nor did he want to save the Demon Clan. He didn’t want to live for others or himself. All he wanted was to be with Qiu Yin’an.

    Qiu Yin’an, as for Qiu Yin’an, has a sense of responsibility, responsibility, and loyalty. He is an upright person. He is very good, but there is only one bad thing about him, that is, his love for Wan Qiongju is not paranoid enough, possessive enough, and indifferent enough.

    Qiu Yin was in it, and even if he could see through it all, he couldn’t let Yao Ye ignore it.

    He stood still for a long time, then held Wan Qiongju’s hand and said, “You have saved me, and I owe you my life in this life. I will definitely live well.”

    Wan Qiongju’s tense expression eased slightly, “I will do my best regarding Yao Ye, but you must never leave me.”

    He held Qiu Yin’an in his arms and reminded him gently but seriously: “If you go with Bai Chengying, you will betray me. You are putting your own safety on Yao Ye’s safety. Even if Yao Ye can come out alive, I will not make it easy for him.”

    “I understand.” Wan Qiongju’s warning made Qiu Yin’an’s heart tremble. He put his hand on Wan Qiongju’s back, “You also have to believe that in my heart, you are the most important.”
