After escaping, the male protagonist always wants to rip off my vest

how could this be...

Jiang Yuzhuo struggled desperately, but he was no match for the vines that entangled his limbs more and more tightly.

The breath in the chest cavity was squeezed out little by little. Even with his considerable cultivation, it would be difficult to sustain only by internal breathing.

No, absolutely not here... Brother and Master are still waiting for me to go back!

He bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, using the stinging pain to regain half of his consciousness, he desperately held the flower in his arms, and tried his best to cut off every vine that clung to it.

But helplessly, the number of vines is too much.

Even though he tried his best, he could barely stop the tendency of his body to sink, but the more he consumed his spiritual power, the more short his breathing became.

The scene in front of him became more and more blurred, and all the strength in his body was also being pulled away.

Jiang Yuzhuo's consciousness began to become hazy uncontrollably.

He was too far away from the lake, presumably there was any movement under the water, and the people on the shore would not be able to notice it.

Could it be that this is the end...

In an instant, complex emotions appeared in my heart, unwillingness, reluctance, and regret most of all.

Those words, after all, still haven't had time to say it.

Shensi sank into darkness little by little.

At the moment when the light disappeared, something warm and soft suddenly pressed against his lips.

The fresh and fragrant breath flows in continuously along the lips and teeth.

Consciousness returned at the same time as the oxygen, and when Jiang Yuzhuo saw who the person in front of him was, he almost lost his breath again.

Brother...why are you here?

After confirming that the junior brother was safe and sound, Qiu Shengmiao slowly let go of the hands holding his face.

The intertwined water light was like a golden net, covering the two of them.

The slender and clean fish tail gently swayed the water waves, making the man look more slender and jade-like in appearance.

"You idiot, when you are in danger, why don't you call the police and call me down to help you?"

Qiu Shengmi poked his shoulder angrily.

He was originally waiting for Jiang Yuzhuo to come up from the shore, but he didn't expect that after half an hour, there was no movement, and he was really worried, so he got into the water.

But it was only after he entered the water that he discovered the unique technique of the illusion he had acquired.

There is a race in the spiritual realm called the Merman Race.

Their upper body is similar to that of humans, but their lower body is fish tail. They can live on land and breathe normally underwater.

After Qiu Shengmiao entered the water, he found that he didn't feel any suffocation.

He simply breathed boldly, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

It seems that this illusion not only allowed him to temporarily have the appearance of a mermaid, but also gave him the ability to breathe underwater for a short period of time.

He swayed the tail of the fish lightly, his movements changed from unfamiliar to familiar, and then followed the faint blue light, looking for Jiang Yuzhuo's trace.

It didn't take long to find the little junior brother who was tightly entangled by vines under the water.

At that time, Jiang Yuzhuo's complexion was too pale, and he didn't respond to his call. He was really scared, so in desperation, he used the way of breathing to save people.

Now that he has survived the catastrophe, while he is full of joy, he can't help but feel deeply ashamed.

Jiang Yuzhuo looked at his face without moving for a long time, when a gleam of light passed over his lips, she suddenly put her arms around his neck and kissed him again.

This time, it's not just as simple as crossing one's breath.

Qiu Shengmiao's rationality was instantly shattered into scum, he didn't even know how to push Jiang Yuzhuo away, he just lowered his arms in a daze, letting him move.

The little junior brother's embrace was always cold and firm, but at this moment it was almost too hot.

He was in it, feeling like he was about to melt.

Jiang Yuzhuo was trembling all over.

For a moment just now, he really thought that he would be damaged here, and the feelings that he could not express in his heart, at the moment of life and death, finally broke the dike completely.

He no longer wants to hide his feelings.

Feeling the weakness of the person in his arms, he kicked his legs, and the tyrannical spiritual power caused the vines to fall off one after another, and then he clasped Qiu Shengmiao's waist and quickly went upstream.

With a sound of "crash", Jiang Yuzhuo broke through the water and came out.

Then he hugged Qiu Shengmiao, who had difficulty moving, and sat down on the bank.

Fearing that Qiu Shengmiao would catch a cold, he first dried the other party's clothes with spells, and only then dealt with his own wet clothes.

During this process, Qiu Shengmiao always lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks, she couldn't tell what was going on in her heart.

"...Hey, don't you..."

"Brother, I..."

After a moment of silence, the two suddenly spoke at the same time.

Qiu Shengmiao's face turned red in an instant: "You talk first, you talk first."

Jiang Yuzhuo brushed her wet hair behind her ears, and her sharp facial features were washed by the lake water, making her look even more handsome.

He fixedly looked at Qiu Shengmiao: "I am happy with you."

Covered by clouds and mist, the unspeakable thoughts are displayed brightly in this way.

For a moment, Qiu Shengmiao wished he could really become an ignorant fish, so that he would not have to face the situation in front of him.

The little junior brother who faces her day and night actually likes her.

And unexpectedly, he didn't reject this feeling.

The chaotic feelings spread from his heart to his whole body. He twisted his long hair subconsciously, and pursed his lips again and again, not knowing how to respond at all.

But at the next moment, Jiang Yuzhuo suddenly moved closer.

"what are you doing!"

Qiu Shengmiao was so frightened by him that he wanted to back away, but unexpectedly he pointed at the hem of his clothes:

"Brother, your legs have recovered."

Only then did he realize belatedly that the effect of the illusion had disappeared at some point.

"Oh, oh..." Qiu Shengmi hurriedly prepared to look for shoes and socks, but unexpectedly, Jiang Yuzhuo had already brought them closer.

He held Qiu Shengmiao's ankle and put on socks for him.

In the past, his junior brother had served him like this before, but never before had he brought out such a strong ambiguous atmosphere like this one.

Qiu Shengmiao clutched the corner of his clothes nervously with his fingers, not even daring to breathe.

Jiang Yuzhuo put on his shoes and socks for him, without raising his head for a while, he said in a muffled voice:

"I said these disrespectful words, does my senior brother...has already hated me?"

"No, nothing, I just..."

He blinked, "I was just a little surprised for a moment, and I couldn't accept it immediately."

This sentence does not imply rejection of disgust.

Jiang Yuzhuo heard it in his ears, and a bright joy suddenly ignited in his dark eyes.

When he took this step, the senior brother did not refuse, which showed that he had his own place in his heart.

Cultivators have a long lifespan, so they have a long future, and they are not in a hurry.

For the current plan, we should first try to save the master, and then make a long-term plan.

So he tactfully did not continue to pick up this topic, but took out the flower from his arms: "Senior Brother, take a look, this flower is the one Master Chu told us to look for?"

Although the stems were pinched and picked, Jiang Yuzhuo has been carefully guarding it with spiritual power. The flowers do not seem to have any signs of wilting, but are delicate and beautiful.

Qiu Shengmiao quickly gathered his mind and carefully observed the shape of the flowers.

From the outside, it looks exactly like the description.

The vitality exuded by itself is also extremely powerful, far beyond the comparison of ordinary fairy herbs.

If this is really the medicinal material they need, although the trip has experienced many twists and turns, overall it can be called smooth.

But how will they find Zhou Changming and Che Jingshu who are lost in the illusion?

Just as Qiu Shengmiao was frowning, there was a sudden noise not far in front of him.

Jiang Yuzhuo immediately stood in front of him without hesitation.

Suddenly, without warning, a crack opened in midair.

As the crack slowly expanded, a light gate with a width of about one foot and a height of about three feet gradually formed.

"This is……"

Qiu Shengmiao and Jiang Yuzhuo looked at each other.

But before they had time to react, several silver-white branches suddenly protruded from the light gate, wrapping around their limbs like spirit snakes, dragging them into the gate.

After a burst of white light strong enough to temporarily blind people dissipated, Jiang Qiu and the others were finally able to see where they were.

The ground under the feet is a mirror-like smooth water surface, with clear ripples rippling from time to time.

The most striking thing is undoubtedly a tall and dense tree not far away.

The branches are transparent milky white, and the leaves of gold and silver are embellished like two-color flames in full bloom, which are dazzling.

When Qiu Shengmiao's eyes fell on the person under the tree, he couldn't help but burst out in surprise:

"Master?!"

The man in white with a long body and a smile standing under the tree is not Lin Chushu, but who is it?

He hurriedly grabbed Jiang Yuzhuo's sleeve, and saw that although the latter couldn't suppress his joy, doubts flashed in his eyes.

They all saw with their own eyes that Lin Chushu's body had already been destroyed in the catastrophe.

For monks who have not advanced to Mahayana, it is almost impossible for the soul to exist without the body for a long time.

So Lin Chushu who appeared in front of them was an illusion, or...

"There is no need to doubt, the one standing in front of you is Lin Chushu himself."

A clear voice suddenly sounded, and the two looked around, only to see Xing Que with silver hair and silver eyes walking slowly.

His appearance also shocked the two of them.

"Master Chufang, this..."

"I'm not that idiot Yuexi, but the tree spirit of the world that lives with him, Xingque."

Xing Que explained again in a good-tempered manner, turning his eyes to Lin Chushu who was behind him, motioning for him to explain the situation in front of him.

Lin Chushu hooked his lips helplessly, and told his two disciples concisely about the relationship between World Tree and Yinhe.

It was the first time for Qiu Shengmiao and the others to hear about planes, and the impact on their cognition was not insignificant.

"So, Master, is the purpose of manipulating the Demon Heart Stone behind the scenes to destroy the Three Realms?"

But as soon as the words came out, Qiu Shengmiao felt that something was wrong.

If Zhong Siyuan only relied on the magic heart stone to invade their plane, with the current situation, the progress would be too slow.

"Of course not," Lin Chushu shook his head, "His goal, from beginning to end, is only me, or the core."

He squatted down slowly, staring at Zhou Changming, who was sleeping among the branches of the world tree, with tender eyes:

"He initially sent Changming to continuously inject the power of different time and space into the causal core in the way of bearing the catastrophe, and at the same time ensure that I continue to become stronger to weaken the power of the causal core."

"Because the weakening of the core will lead to the disintegration of the barrier of the plane, he can manipulate the energy from other planes and turn it into a 'Magic Heart Stone', infecting all races of life."

"But since he can operate rampantly in our plane, there must be people who cooperate with the inside and the outside."

A name is on the horizon.

But thinking of this, Lin Chushu couldn't help but hesitate.

What exactly did Zhong Siyuan promise to that man?

Even if he occupies a high position and respects authority, he will still be unable to resist the temptation?

……

Moqin Sea, Xingyu Island.

In the Qiongwu Hall, everyone held their breaths and kept silent. The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and it was as if a mountain rain was about to come.

On the first seat, Cen Yuzhou was dressed in a gold embroidered robe, with an indelible shadow locked between his pale brows.

The urgently formed Council of Elders obviously had difficulty dealing with the immediate chaos.

While he was exhausted by the personnel rotation in the cabinet and the calamity of the Demon Heart Stone, it was naturally difficult for him to determine Lin Chushu's life and death.

But this is precisely the requirement that "Mandate of Heaven" constantly urges.

If he didn't have time to give the answer that person wanted, maybe everything he had now would be like a passing cloud and cease to exist.

His fingers curled up like spasms, and his knuckles turned stiff blue and white.

"Elder Xiahou stays here, and the rest follow orders. If you can't fully implement the follow-up compensation for the Zhaolu test within today, you don't have to appear in front of this deity again."

"Follow the order of the Pavilion Master!"

Except for Xia Houkun, the current elders are all rookies who were promoted from Mo Xingsi, and they were all scared to death, and retreated in a hurry.

"Cen... Pavilion Master."

Xia Houkun's expression was hesitant to speak,

"A few days ago, you told me that the plan to fully deploy the magic heart stone in the Three Realms was not a joke?"
