After Cultivating With the Enemy

Ji Chaoyun pulled Feng Qi and walked towards the back mountain.

Seeing that he had completely left the crowd, Feng Qi smiled lightly and said, "Are you taking me to elope?"

Ji Chaoyun's footsteps stopped suddenly.

He didn't look back, Feng Qi only felt that the hand holding his wrist was bone-chillingly cold, and the fingertips were so pale that there was hardly any blood.

Feng Qi sighed and shook his head, broke off the opponent's hand, and held it in his palm again: "I don't mean to force you, if you don't accept it, just pretend nothing happened, why bother with yourself?"

"Pretend nothing happened?" Ji Chaoyun withdrew his hand, his voice low and hoarse, "Can you do it?"

Feng Qi smiled wryly: "Haven't I been doing this all the time?"

Ji Zhaoyun's fingertips trembled, as if a sharp knife had been pierced into his heart, he was lingering bit by bit from the pain, and even breathing could cause severe pain.

Feng Qi stared at the other person's back, and asked gently: "What do you want to tell me?"

"..." Ji Zhaoyun pursed his lips tightly, unable to say a word.

Feng Qi didn't rush, and quietly waited for his answer.

"This matter...is my fault." After a long time, Ji Chaoyun said hoarsely, "We are just playing a show today, and I will bid farewell to Grandpa Tree tomorrow. You don't have to help me with meritorious deeds. When you leave the Banyan Tree Clan, you Let's go back to the academy."

Feng Qi narrowed his eyes: "You drive me away?"

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes, his voice trembling slightly: "After returning to the academy, I will ask the Inspector Hall to change the disciple academy, and I will not appear in front of you again in the future."

Feng Qi's expression froze: "Do you think this is enough?"

"..."

"Answer me Ji Chaoyun, do you think if you avoid me, we can pretend nothing happened?"

Ji Zhaoyun didn't answer.

Feng Qi broke his shoulders and looked down at the other's drooping, red eyes: "If you really think so, why don't you dare to look at me? And why are you so sad?"

"It's late, Chaoyun."

"In the past few months when we met, you had countless opportunities to push me away, but you didn't. Do you think that as long as you avoid me, I can forget you?" Feng Qi mocked, "Ji Chaoyun, it's been 300 years, you forgot Have you ever passed Fengxiao?"

Ji Zhaoyun's body trembled heavily.

"The year you met Feng Xiao, you were younger than me now." Feng Qi said, "Back then you were able to be so relentless, why do you think I can't do it? You can afford to wait 300 years, why do you think I Can't wait."

He softened his voice and said softly: "How strange, from the first time I saw you, it seemed that I was pushed in the dark. It told me to go to your side, to be with you, to guard You, protect you. Sometimes I even feel that I stayed in the academy for so many years just to wait for that day."

Ji Zhaoyun's shoulders trembled slightly, his eyes were sour, and his eyes were blurred.

"I know you can't answer me now, it's okay, I can wait." Feng Qi said softly, "200 years, 300 years, 500 years... That guy made you wait for 300 years after knowing you for three months. Wait, what's the matter with you?"

"But I... I..." Ji Zhaoyun's voice was trembling, "There will be no results, I simply..."

"If you want to say that you don't have any feelings for me, I won't believe it." Feng Qi sighed, and gently rubbed Ji Chaoyun's head, "I've been thinking about how to break with me for two days, you Is this the final performance? You can’t even pretend, I’ve never seen a more stupid dragon than you.”

"..."

"You take all the responsibility on yourself, and feel sorry for him and me, but where is this your fault? It's my fault, I've been pestering you all this time." Feng Qi's hand moved down slowly, holding onto Ji Chaoyun Cold hands, "I don't know what he will think, but with me, my little dragon is not wrong at all. Don't feel bad, if you are really unhappy... this is for you."

Feng Qi took off the bracelet and tied it on Ji Chaoyun's wrist: "Slap me with a whip to relieve my anger. I hit you before, you hit me back now, okay?"

Ji Zhaoyun finally couldn't help it, tears welled up in his eyes.

How can there be such a gentle person in this world.

He was obviously the one who felt wronged, but instead he came to comfort him, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable.

But the better Feng Qi treats him, the more uncomfortable he feels.

The past 300 years ago was real, the 300 years of waiting in between was real, and the relationship with him in the past few months after coming to the academy was also real. He clearly had someone else in his heart, but he was still uncontrollably attracted to this person.

He had never noticed this until that unfinished kiss two nights ago.

Ye Fengqi's attitude that night revealed to the sky what he had been unwilling to think about and dared not to think about.

He didn't understand why things had become like this.

How could he do this...

Ji Zhaoyun buried his head deeply, trembling all over his body, he bit his lower lip tightly and let out a few choked sobs.

"Why...why are you crying so hard." Feng Qi was frightened by his tears all of a sudden, he was in a hurry, wanted to hug him but didn't dare, tentatively supported his shoulders, "Don't do this, don't do this... Didn't you say Are you okay, it's not your fault, don't cry."

His Royal Highness Feng Er has never experienced such a situation, and he can't even coax people. He comforted people in a random manner, making people cry more and more fiercely.

Ji Zhaoyun has never had such extreme venting in his life, not when he parted with Feng Xiao, not when he was expelled from the Dragon Clan, and not when he died unexpectedly in his previous life.He was trembling with all his strength, and soon he didn't even have the strength left to stand, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

He lowered his head, tears rolling down into the grass in big drops.

Feng Qi has never seen Ji Chaoyun like this before, he just thinks it hurts more than whipping him.He didn't care if he would irritate this person again, he squatted down and carefully hugged him tightly, pressed the back of Ji Chaoyun's head and let him lean on his shoulder: "I understand, you don't want to beat me, you just want me life."

Feng Qi sighed, feeling that he was really eaten to death by this person, closed his eyes and gave up on himself: "Cry, cry, don't be sad anymore."

It's a pity that Ji Chaoyun couldn't cry in the end, and after a while, Feng Qi heard footsteps coming in a distance.

They escaped from the wedding ceremony, and the clansmen would naturally chase after them.Feng Qi doesn't want others to see Ji Chaoyun's current appearance, Ji Chaoyun probably doesn't want others to see him in such a mess.

He thought for a moment, put his arms around Ji Chaoyun's waist, and rose into the air.

The two landed firmly on the branch.

Ji Chaoyun also felt that someone was approaching, but he was crying too hard before, and couldn't stop for a while, so he could only grab Feng Qi's sleeves, buried his head deeply, and tried his best to suppress the slight sobs.

After a while, several clansmen appeared in the field of vision.

Those people looked anxious, but they didn't look like they were looking for someone. They walked forward quickly and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Feng Qi felt something strange intuitively, and frowned slightly.

"That direction..." Ji Chaoyun revealed his red eyes and half of his face from Feng Qi's lapel, and said softly.

Feng Qi didn't care at all that her wedding dress was wet from crying, and wiped the tears on the other party's face with her sleeve: "What's wrong?"

Ji Zhaoyun hid back for a while, rubbing his eyes himself: "I remember, leaving the Banyan Tree Clan through the exit over there is the barren mountain."

The barren mountain that was originally shrouded in thick fog, but now the fog has dissipated, is extremely precipitous.

My little dragon hasn't been coaxed well yet, Feng Qi really doesn't want to take care of other things at this time.But the Banyan Tree Clan was kind to Ji Chaoyun, if something happened, I'm afraid he wouldn't feel well either.Feng Qi lowered his head and asked, "Go back and ask?"

Ji Zhaoyun nodded: "Yes."

"But you look like this..."

Ji Zhaoyun had never cried like this before, and whenever he cried, he would cry hard.At this moment, it finally stopped, but there were still drops of water on the eyelashes, and the eyes were red and moist, like rabbits, and looked very pitiful.

Feng Qi moved his gaze away impetuously, and settled his mind: "Shall I help you cover it with magic?"

Only then did Ji Zhaoyun realize what he was saying, and turned his head away: "I will do it myself."

After a while, the two returned to the banyan tree.

The arrangement of the wedding ceremony has not been withdrawn, the old patriarch does not let the clansmen chase them, so everyone can only continue to wait where they are.

Seeing the two come back, the old patriarch smiled at them: "Is everything settled?"

"En." Ji Chaoyun replied in a low voice.

The old patriarch pointed to the tree again: "Do you want to continue?"

Ji Chaoyun was startled: "Patriarch, you..."

"what happened?"

"...It's okay." Ji Zhaoyun shook his head, "We just saw a few clansmen heading towards the barren mountain, what are they going for?"

The old patriarch looked at him for a moment, with confusion in his eyes: "Baren mountain? What barren mountain? Where is the barren mountain?"

"..."

"You two are back." At this moment, Ji Xun walked towards them.

Feng Qi asked: "Young patriarch, just now Chao Yun and I saw a few clansmen heading towards the barren mountain, do you know?"

"It's my order." Ji Xun explained, "I just received the news that a business traveler who came from a long distance seems to have accidentally passed through the arrangement of the Banyan Tree Clan in Taohualing, and took the barren mountain. I am worried that they will encounter If it is in danger, send several clansmen to escort it."

Ji Chaoyun: "But the people of the clan have set up barriers at every place they must pass through in Taohua Ridge. How can they pass through smoothly?"

"The reason is not yet known. When we found out, they were about to enter the barren mountain." Ji Xun said, "The banyan tree tribe is a monster tribe after all, and they dare not show their faces in front of ordinary people. I only had time to find a few tribesmen to follow them. Explain the reason here. Why, do you think there is a problem?"

Ji Zhaoyun and Feng Qi looked at each other, and said: "We don't have any solid evidence. It's just... Brother Ji, there were unknown objects attacking you in the barren mountain. It might be dangerous for the clansmen to go there. Let's go and have a look."

"But..." Ji Xun looked at them hesitantly, and then at the old patriarch.

The old patriarch sat on the wicker chair and said with a smile, "Go if you want, it doesn't matter."

Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi nodded, and immediately went back to the house to change their clothes.

Ji Xun looked at the backs of the two of them, wondering: "Grandpa, so this wedding ceremony, can we still do it?"

The old patriarch said: "The three prayers have not been finished yet, so keep it for later use."

"Then why did grandpa let them go?"

"You are a person who only knows about the affairs of the clan all day long. No wonder you can't find a daughter-in-law." The old patriarch hated that iron can't be made into steel, so he hit Ji Xun's buttocks with the end of the bamboo stick, stood up with the bamboo stick on his back, and looked away. Walking around, "Young people, in pairs, it's a match made in heaven, it's so good..."

Leaving the Banyan Tree Clan from the direction of the back mountain, Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi quickly found the barren mountain.

The reason why it is called a barren mountain is because there is no grass growing here.Strange rocks can be seen everywhere in the mountains, and there are only a few dry weeds between the rocks, but there is no vitality.Few people come to this mountain, the road is rough and difficult, and Taohua Ridge ahead seems to be two worlds.

"It's really hard to imagine that behind such a luxuriant Taohua Ridge, there is such a barren mountain without any grass." Feng Qi said, "It seems unreasonable."

Ji Chaoyun nodded: "When I first came to the Banyan Tree Clan, I also thought this mountain was rather weird. It's just that at that time... I couldn't protect myself, and there was a thick fog outside the barren mountain, so I never went to investigate."

Feng Qi let out a "huh" and turned her head to look at him.

Ji Zhaoyun's expression was calm, and he couldn't tell that he had cried like that just now.This person is like this, he hides his thoughts more heavily than anyone else, if he is not extremely uncomfortable, he will not reveal the slightest bit at all.

Feng Qi was heartbroken and helpless, he didn't know whether to coax him or not, when the latter suddenly said: "Look over there!"

Under the stone wall not far in front of the two, a young man fell down.

It was a dryad.

The two stepped forward quickly, but saw that the young man was as angry as gossamer, and his clothes were already stained with blood.

"There is no harm to the vitals, but there is still salvation." Feng Qi helped Ji Chaoyun up before Ji Chaoyun, quickly tapped several spiritual veins of the other party, and slowly injected spiritual power.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The young man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and finally regained some consciousness, "Xian, Xianchang, why did you come here..."

Ji Chaoyun asked: "What happened?"

"We followed the caravan into the barren mountain, and we were attacked not far away."

"What about the rest?"

"Perhaps he went into the mountain cough cough... That thing was so powerful, I, I fainted before I could see what it was."

The young man was seriously injured, and the two couldn't ask any more questions, so they made a formula to send him back to the clan.

After finishing these, Feng Qi said: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this mountain."

"Not only this mountain, but also the merchant traveler." Ji Chaoyun looked far into the depths of the barren mountain, lowering his eyebrows slightly, "The merchant traveler usually has accompanying carriages and horses for their goods, so they will choose the official road that is easier to take. This barren mountain is steep and unpredictable. Where did the business traveler come from to choose this road?"

"Maybe they came from other places and don't know the dangers of this place?"

Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "Because I'm from another place, I need to find out more clearly."

Ji Chaoyun said: "Ordinary people are no better than fairies. They don't have magic spells to protect themselves, and they won't shrink into an inch. For them, they must be more cautious when traveling long distances. Even if they don't think about their own lives, they must also consider the safety of the accompanying goods. .”

Feng Qi asked: "So you just thought that there was something wrong with that business travel team?"

"It's just a guess." Ji Chaoyun said, "Let's continue to go in—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt something attacking behind the two of them.

Ji Zhaoyun turned around to look, and happened to see a black smoke coming from far and near.He was about to fight back, but Feng Qi moved faster than him.

Feng Qi's palm hit the center of the black smoke impartially, only a sharp roar was heard, and the black smoke flew backwards and hit the rough stone wall.The black smoke dissipated, revealing the true interior.

The appearance of that thing is very similar to that of a cheetah, with a dark body, two horns on its forehead, long and thin canine teeth and bright red eyes.

In those bright red eyes, there is a billowing magic breath.

monster.

The monster's meridians were shattered by Feng Qi's palm, and its body quickly turned into black smoke and was blown away by the wind.In just this moment, several black smoke came from nowhere and fell around the two of them, completely surrounding them.

Feng Qi gave a "tsk", and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Zhaoyun drew out his sword, and said calmly: "You said earlier, how much merit can you get in exchange for killing monsters?"

Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and understood what he meant.He took half a step back and said, "Killing one should be worth the hard work of your previous whole day."

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes fell on the dozen or so monsters slowly gathering up, his expression was heavy: "These are all mine, don't snatch them."

"Well, I won't grab it, take your time..."

Before Feng Qi could finish speaking, Ji Chaoyun raised his sword and rushed out.

The sharp and sharp sword shadow was reflected on the jagged stone wall, Feng Qi looked at the plain white figure from a distance, and didn't intend to stop him, let alone help.

Xiaolong is still feeling uncomfortable, and just needs a channel to vent.

These monsters came at the right time.

Feng Qi retreated to the side of the stone wall and waited. Dozens of monsters were not enough to meet Ji Chaoyun at this moment, but they were all killed within a short time.Ji Zhaoyun kicked away the last monster that died, and with a flick of his sword, he threw out a string of blood beads.

Feng Qi curled his mouth slightly, and was about to step forward when his expression froze suddenly.

Something is approaching.

Ji Zhaoyun also felt something strange, he turned his head to look in a certain direction, and there was a little vibration on the ground covered with rocks, as if something was walking towards them.

After a while, a spotted white tiger with a snow-white body and the height of a person walked around the stone wall and walked in front of the two.

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes sank, and he was about to raise his sword to step forward, but was stopped by Feng Qi: "Wait."

"It's not the enemy."

Feng Qi walked to Ji Chaoyun's side, staring into Baihu's eyes.The white tiger looked at him with a calm expression, without the slightest hostility.

Feng Qi seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and asked: "You said you want to take us somewhere?"

The white tiger nodded to him, lay down on its side, flicked its slender tail, and motioned for the two to sit on its back.

Ji Chaoyun asked: "Feng Qi, what is it..."

"I don't know." Feng Qi said, "But I can feel that it is not hostile."

He turned on the white tiger first, and stretched out his hand to Ji Chaoyun: "Trust me, nothing will happen."

Ji Zhaoyun silently looked at the hand in front of him, nodded after a while, "Okay."

The two rode on the white tiger, and the white tiger raised its head and shouted, and ran towards the direction it came from.

The desolate mountain road moved back quickly, Ji Zhaoyun stared blankly at the white tiger below him, and vaguely thought of something.

While running, the white tiger sprouted snow-white wings on its back, soared into the sky, and jumped towards the sky.

The white tiger hovered over the barren mountain, with the wind howling in his ears.Ji Chaoyun pressed his back against Feng Qi's chest, and the latter wrapped his arms around him tightly, wrapping him in his arms.

"Have you ever seen a tiger with wings? I have one, but unfortunately it was lost in the fairyland."

Once upon a time, Feng Xiao hugged him like this, and whispered in his ear: "When the war is over, I will call it back and take you for a ride, okay?"

This is... is this Feng Xiao's spirit tiger?

Ji Chaoyun's thoughts were confused for a while, Feng Qi suddenly said in his ear: "Chaoyun, look below."

The scene under the two of them changed rapidly.The dry river channel regenerated water, and the grass and trees broke through the ground, and soon grew lush and lush.

It was still the barren mountain, but after breaking through the external illusion, almost at that moment, Ji Zhaoyun felt the spiritual power that seemed familiar.

Here, Feng Xiao's divine power remains.

This is... Mount Sumeru?

The white tiger brought the two back to the original place, and the two jumped off the white tiger, and the surrounding scene was completely different.

The dense trees cover the sky, kingfishers chirping on the branches, soft white rabbits occasionally scurry across the grass under your feet, insects and birds chirp endlessly, and there is vitality everywhere.

Bai Hu circled Feng Qi twice, seemed to be extremely excited, and kept rubbing his head against his arms.Feng Qi was so disturbed by it that he couldn't help it, and he rubbed its head resignedly: "Okay, okay..."

Ji Zhaoyun stared blankly at all this, a thought he had never had before, and he dared not think about it, broke out in his heart.
