Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 825 - 75: Kindred Spirits in Misfortune

Upon seeing Zong Shaoqing, Yue Jinghua finally came to her senses. Just a moment ago, she seemed to see a dazzling sea of black flowers before her eyes.

Black Vine Pearl Flower, the process of its blooming and the results it causes made her scalp tingle.

"Captain Zong, you’re here to bid farewell to Brother Yue, huh? You two really share such a strong bond, it truly makes me envious," Ying Wuwang glanced at Zong Shaoqing, and a spark of suspicion and displeasure flashed between their eyes, "Rest assured, during your absence, I’ll take good ’care’ of Brother Yue."

Ying Wuwang deliberately emphasized the word "care," and a trace of anger faintly appeared on Zong Shaoqing’s face.

The two exchanged silent glances, yet sparks seemed to fly between their eyes.

Yue Jinghua sensed the smell of gunpowder between the two, and she awkwardly smiled, "Shaoqing, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll find you later."

With that said, she hurriedly left the temporary dwelling, ignoring Zong Shaoqing’s face filled with unsaid words, and walked towards the Yue District, leaving the two men to face off, not very amicably.

After presenting the City Lord Token, Yue Jinghua smoothly entered the Yue District; she was looking for Chen Jiangyin.

Demon Mark, that damn Demon Mark.

Upon her arrival on Canglong Continent, the Demon Mark that had been lingering on Yue Jinghua’s face grabbed her attention; she always thought it was a Demon Mark.

But just now, Ying Wuwang’s words stirred her suspicion.

When the Demon Mark moved from her face to her back, she noticed the shape of the mark was similar to vines.

"Could it be that someone secretly planted a Black Vine Pearl Flower seed within ’Yue Jinghua’s’ body?" Yue Jinghua quickened her pace and soon found Chen Jiangyin, after inquiring about his residence in the Yue District.

Chen Jiangyin’s residence was similar to the humble cottages Yue Jinghua had seen earlier at the Imperial Hospital in the Imperial City. That guy had a particular fondness for such cottage-style dwellings.

Spiritual Wood Herbs were planted densely around the cottages, growing luxuriantly.

"Chen Jiangyin, come out, I need to speak with you," Yue Jinghua shouted a few times outside the cottage, nearly overturning it.

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Chen Jiangyin emerged with a face full of a wry smile.

On his face was again that Purple Gauze.

The knot in Yue Jinghua’s heart grew tighter. Seeing him in that androgynous look made her angrier, and she dashed forward to tear off the Purple Gauze from his face.

Her speed was lightning-fast, and Chen Jiangyin couldn’t dodge in time; the Purple Gauze was torn down.

Yue Jinghua’s eyes widened suddenly, Chen Jiangyin’s face?

That face still belonged to Chen Jiangyin, but his left cheek was covered with dense and hideous Demon Marks.

The Demon Marks were almost identical to those that initially appeared on Yue Jinghua’s right cheek.

Only, Chen Jiangyin’s Demon Marks were on the left, Yue Jinghua’s were on the right. Even these things understand the principle of gender distinction?

Chen Jiangyin sighed, picked up the Purple Gauze, and said quietly, "You’re still as reckless as you were when you were young. Did my face scare you?"

They say a woman beautifies herself for the one who loves her, but even as a man, Chen Jiangyin didn’t wish to reveal this appearance in front of someone he liked.

He remained secluded most of the time, partly because of the Demon Marks on his face.

"Your face? Have you also been poisoned by the Black Vine Pearl Flower? Tell me, did you know all along that both of us were poisoned?" Yue Jinghua was dumbfounded; she knew she was poisoned but had no idea Chen Jiangyin was also poisoned.

"Black Vine Pearl Flower? How do you know the name of this flower?" Chen Jiangyin’s expression changed, and without saying anything, he pulled Yue Jinghua into the cottage.

Inside the cottage, several Elixir Furnaces were arranged, various Elixir Pills scattered all over the floor.

"I heard it from Ying Wuwang. He’s... a very suspicious character. I suspect him..." Yue Jinghua frowned.

"He... came to you?" Chen Jiangyin seemed as if he received a lethal piece of news, his face turned pale instantly, and his cherry-colored lips trembled.

The thing he had always worried about finally happened.

Thinking back to that moment in childhood, Chen Jiangyin seemed to make a big decision, "Jinghua, do you find that some childhood memories are not clear?"

"Well, not very clear," Yue Jinghua indeed could not remember many memories after inheriting the ’Yue Jinghua’ body, attributing it to the deficiency caused by the fusion of body and spirit.

"I can help you recall some childhood memories, but you must promise me, after knowing the truth, you must not get emotional, nor act impulsively," Chen Jiangyin urged as he looked at Yue Jinghua.

"You? Chen Jiangyin, what on earth have you been doing lately?" Yue Jinghua realized that not only herself, but Chen Jiangyin also held many secrets.

"I found a master who taught me how to unlock the Mirror Soul Technique. But my current power is limited, so I can only partially unlock the Mirror Soul Technique on you," Chen Jiangyin, after multiple unsuccessful visits to Mirror Sect, finally made a firm resolution.

He neither ate nor slept, kneeling outside Mirror Sect’s residence for three days and three nights.

After fainting, Bai Sheng, unable to bear the sight, finally took him into Mirror Sect’s residence.

Mirror Sect saw his persistence and steadfastness, finally agreeing to teach him how to unlock the Mirror Soul Technique.

"Don’t worry, I’m not a reckless person," just impulsive enough to be inhuman, Yue Jinghua silently added a sentence in her heart.

After listening, Chen Jiangyin smiled slightly and gestured for her to sit down.

Once seated, Chen Jiangyin asked Yue Jinghua to remove her mask.

As Yue Jinghua took off the mask, and Chen Jiangyin saw her flawlessly soft and almost perfect face, he was momentarily astonished, an awe struck in his eyes, but he then puzzled and asked, "Your face?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Did the Black Vine Pearl Flower’s poison mark grow on your face? It originally grew on my face, but a year ago, it suddenly moved to my back," Yue Jinghua said and began to unbutton her clothes.

Chen Jiangyin coughed awkwardly a few times, "This seems inappropriate."

"You’re the Pill Master, or am I the Pill Master? At a time like this, still fuss about that," Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes and straightforwardly loosened her garments.

Chen Jiangyin’s face flushed red in embarrassment, secretly thinking that this woman, when acting shamelessly, was deadlier than any man.

He quickly turned his head away.

When Yue Jinghua finally turned her back to him, Chen Jiangyin, blushing intensely, tilted his face slightly to look at her back.

On Yue Jinghua’s back, below the shoulder blade, was indeed a budding black flower bone.

Compared with the ugly markings on the face, this Black Vine Pearl Flower growing on Yue Jinghua’s back was like a piece of art; it was beautiful, mysterious, and carried a seductive allure that bewitched one’s heart.

Coupled with Yue Jinghua’s flawless white back, like a flawless white jade, Chen Jiangyin gazed at it in a daze, his hand subconsciously reached out and unknowingly caressed it.
