The Protagonist Is in the Right Position to Get Along With the Villain
Chapter 53
Although Li Jinzhi was being pulled along, his face was full of confusion. This passage was extremely narrow. Why was it that after entering this void, the Chao Han Palace could not be affected by the scenery outside the void and become so huge?
Although he was puzzled, he had already followed Ye Cheng to the entrance of the Hidden Tools Pavilion. When he stepped into the room, he saw Ye Cheng walking towards the shelves of body-type magic tools. After picking for a while, he saw Ye Cheng take out a light pink silk handkerchief.
"This is …" Li Jinzhi glanced at the pink silk handkerchief and asked with a frown, "A woman's item?"
Ye Cheng looked at the color with a face full of disdain, but he did not explain. After shaking one hand and injecting spiritual energy into it, Li Jinzhi found that there were some subtle changes in Ye Cheng's palm that was covered by the silk handkerchief.
"Huh?"
Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and took two steps forward to take a closer look. However, he saw that Ye Cheng's palm seemed to be soaked in water. It was blurry and could not be seen clearly.
"Try releasing your divine sense again?" Ye Cheng waved the silk handkerchief in his hand and reminded him.
Li Jinzhi did as he was told. His divine sense casually swept out and suddenly paused. When he swept back again, it was still empty, as if Ye Cheng's hand had been cut off.
"This …" Li Jinzhi looked at the silk handkerchief with a slightly changed expression. "This magic tool can actually block divine sense?"
Although it was not an extremely rare magic tool and was even rather useless in bright places, at this moment, this magic tool was like sending charcoal in the snow.
The underground world was dark. If there were no illumination pearls and vision was blocked, divine sense would become the main supernatural power to find the way. This was the case for cultivators and most of the demonic insects that did not have night vision were the same.
"Yes."
Ye Cheng increased the speed of injecting spiritual energy. He saw that the silk handkerchief was like a living thing, slowly climbing up his arm. Finally, Ye Cheng's entire body was enveloped by it.
Before Li Jinzhi could exclaim in amazement, the other party grabbed his hand. Then, he felt a hot spiritual energy slowly climbing up his skin and spreading to his entire body, enveloping him completely.
Li Jinzhi's Divine Sense swept over his feet, and sure enough, the itch disappeared. He nodded. If he ignored the itch on his skin, this magic weapon would be perfect.
But he couldn't ignore it.
"So itchy."
He turned to look at Ye Cheng expressionlessly. "Must we use this method to hide the two of them?"
This kind of itch was not the itch after being bitten by a mosquito. Instead, it was like being slowly licked by something. It was hard to describe the specific feeling, but it was strange to the touch.
Ye Cheng shook his head and sighed. "This is the only way. After all, the handkerchief is only so big. We can only share it by holding hands."
"Give it to me." Li Jinzhi narrowed his eyes.
Ye Cheng was stunned and asked in confusion, "What?"
"The jade slip."
Li Jinzhi narrowed his eyes and leaned closer. "Don't think I don't know that you secretly looked at the encyclopedia of magic weapons on the bookshelf. Give it to me."
Ye Cheng silently turned his head and said expressionlessly, "It's not like you don't know what's in the storage ring. How can there be an encyclopedia of magic weapons?"
Li Jinzhi frowned and then slowly relaxed. The other party had interrupted his cultivation once during his last closed-door cultivation. Because he had reached a critical point in his cultivation, he did not pay attention to the other party. However, when his Divine Sense swept over, the other party was indeed looking at the jade slip.
After that, he checked the jade slip on the bookshelf, but found that the encyclopedia of magic weapons that he had originally intended to look at was missing.
However, there was indeed no extra jade slip in the storage ring. Could it be that he had misunderstood the other party?
Since it was not Ye Cheng who took it, then where did the jade slip that recorded the encyclopedia of magic weapons go?
Did it turn into a butterfly and fly away?
His thoughts drifted further and further away. Li Jinzhi, who was imagining the supernatural disappearance at the bottom of the sea, did not notice that Ye Cheng, who was beside him, raised his eyebrows with a hint of smugness.
In the bedroom next door, between the ice bed and the bookshelf, a light purple jade slip was carelessly stuffed in the middle, unable to move.
"Alright, since that's the case, then you've indeed looked at this jade slip, right?" Li Jinzhi asked after coming back to his senses. "Do you know how to use all the magic weapons here?"
Ye Cheng shook his head and said, "Some of them are not recorded, while some of their functions are recorded. That one seems to have been engraved by the master of the Ice Palace."
After a pause, he added, "After I finished looking at that jade slip, it turned into specks of light and dissipated into the world."
Li Jinzhi pondered for a while and nodded seriously. "In that case, then keep all these magic weapons, lest we encounter a situation where we regret not having enough magic weapons when we use them."
Ye Cheng had already planned to do this. He immediately raised his finger, and the storage ring glowed with an icy blue light. The entire row of bookshelves in the room disappeared.
Li Jinzhi frowned. "Why did you keep the bookshelves as well?"
Ye Cheng's expression did not change, and he explained confidently, "If the order was disrupted, I would not remember the functions of the magic weapons."
Li Jinzhi was speechless. This was like Ye Cheng remembering the Chinese and Pinyin of a text separately. If the order of Pinyin and Chinese was disrupted, then nothing would match.
Li Jinzhi looked at the hand that was tightly held and felt a strong sense of itchiness. He rubbed his temples weakly. "Let's go. I still have to find out why the Ice Palace was placed in the void." With that, he turned around and left.
When Ye Cheng saw that Li Jinzhi did not shake his hand off, joy flashed across his face, and he quickly followed after him.
Standing at the entrance of the Ice Palace, the two of them were deep in thought. Although the narrow passageway outside was blurry, it still existed. However, this huge Ice Palace completely ignored the scenery outside. It was like a huge mountain that rolled up and sat there in a daze.
Ye Cheng stood on the ground and placed his hand on the earthen wall outside. He could feel the earth and rocks in his hand clearly. He dug slightly and some dirt even fell off.
Li Jinzhi placed his hand on the other side of the earthen wall, but he only touched a piece of nothingness.
Letting go of Ye Cheng's hand, Li Jinzhi placed both his hands on the earthen wall, but they both missed. He turned around and saw that Ye Cheng was also looking at him with a face full of shock.
Ye Cheng stared at Li Jinzhi's face in a slight daze. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Jinzhi turn around and take a step forward. He actually went straight through the earthen wall. The earthen wall was like an illusory curtain that had no effect on Li Jinzhi, who was in the void.
He watched as Li Jinzhi walked further and further away. His heart felt a little stuffy. He quickly took two steps forward, wanting to catch up, but he suddenly bumped into the earthen wall.
Li Jinzhi heard a dull thud and turned around to look, only to see a stream of blood slowly flowing out from Ye Yu's tall nose. Coupled with the other party's slightly red eyes due to the pain, he looked very pitiful.
"Jingzhi …" Ye Cheng stared at him helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back into a small dragon that was a few feet long with a bang. He curled up on the ground, feeling wronged. His bean-like eyes were full of helplessness.
Li Jinzhi's pupils contracted. He walked over and lifted the other party up. He gently used his thumb to wipe away the blood under the other party's nose. The delicate Little Dragon wrapped its tail around the other party's arm, looking extremely weak.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Li Jinzhi asked worriedly as he pinched the dragon's body that was softer than before.
"Yes."
Ye Cheng said softly. He hooked his little claws twice as if he wanted to hold up his forehead, but he had to give up because his claws were too short. "My head is so dizzy, and I feel like vomiting."
Li Jinzhi's expression was grave. He knew that ordinary people would get a concussion if they hit the wall too hard, but he really didn't know if cultivators who could see their own bodies would get a concussion.
"Can you walk on your own?" Li Jinzhi rubbed the other party's forehead and asked softly.
Ye Cheng rested his head on the other party's arm with a look of enjoyment. His little tail wrapped tightly around the other party's wrist. He said weakly, "I feel dizzy if I move a little. I'm afraid I can't walk."
Li Jinzhi nodded. He glanced at the earthen wall behind him, then turned around and stored the ice palace in his mind.
"Jingzhi, what happened just now?" Ye Cheng looked up. He raised his eyebrows and squeezed his bean-like eyes into triangular shapes. His eyes were full of confusion.
Li Jinzhi shook his head and sighed. "I don't know either. I seemed to have broken through some kind of boundary just now. The earthen wall seemed to have disappeared into thin air."
"Could it be that a critical point in the void was broken?" Ye Cheng guessed.
"Maybe."
Li Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully. He remembered the title of the original novel, "Master of a Realm". If his understanding of the void deepened, perhaps he would not only be unable to touch the barrier in the future.
Li Jinzhi put aside his doubts and was about to tear open the void to leave when he suddenly saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. There were two figures in the light.
From this angle, it was obvious that someone was walking over while holding a Reflection Pearl.
Li Jinzhi put down his hand and took half a step back to the earthen wall. He waited quietly.
Ye Cheng rested his head on Li Jinzhi's body and looked up lazily at the end of the tunnel. When Li Jinzhi was not paying attention, his flood dragon body quietly tightened around him.
The light on the other side grew brighter and brighter. In the end, a man and a woman turned the corner of the tunnel and completely exposed their figures to Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng.
When the two of them saw who it was, their expressions were poles apart. Ye Cheng turned his head away in disgust, but suddenly remembered that the other party had called him and Jingzhi Dao companions.
Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows with a complicated expression when he saw who it was. He lowered his head to look at Ye Cheng, only to see the other party's head resting on his shoulder. Although he could not see the other party's expression, the two small bumps on his head were slightly red.
Was he shy?
"Fellow Daoist Chen, those two shouldn't have walked so far in, right?"
However, at this moment, the man outside suddenly spoke. "If they go any further, they will reach the central area of the ground floor."
The woman surnamed Chen shook her head with certainty. "Those two are extremely powerful. Even if you were to fight against them, it would be difficult to tell who is stronger."
She pointed at the path they came from and said solemnly, "The demonic insect's body was still there just now. If it wasn't killed by those two, who else could it be?"
"Fellow Daoist, please don't joke around. I am a cultivator at the peak of the mid-stage Yuanying Realm. According to what you said, those two are only at the early-stage Yuanying Realm. How could they be evenly matched against me?"
The man shook his head and said casually, "Fellow Daoist, you promised to give me the Tide Dew Worm's demonic core and outer shell after I killed those two."
"Of course. I am already very embarrassed to ask you for help. If I were to snatch your position, wouldn't I be too shameless?" The woman surnamed Chen chuckled.
The two of them smiled at each other and walked past Li Jinzhi in the void.
Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows as he watched the two of them pass by. He said in a low voice, "I don't care what kind of feelings you have for this woman surnamed Chen. I will not keep her alive."
"Ah?" Ye Cheng's eyes were filled with confusion. "What kind of feelings?"
Li Jinzhi ignored him. He cast a spell with one hand and condensed hundreds of long needles in one breath. In an instant, a cold air rushed toward them.
