Chapter 117 [Room Change] (9800 words)
Bang!!
It seemed something violent was happening in the hallway outside! Even the doorframe was trembling!
The two of them were startled, before they could react, another loud bang echoed from outside!
This time, even the entire room seemed to shake slightly.
Chu Keqing whispered, "Is something hitting the door outside?"
"Ignore it." Chen Yan squinted his eyes, his thoughts were clear, he said coldly, "If there really was a monster hitting the door, an ordinary door wouldn’t hold it back. And if it hasn’t broken through after two hits, it must be some sort of trick!"
The banging outside the door grew more frantic, and the noise intensified with each hit!
Eventually, even the chandelier on the ceiling started to sway and creak.
After more than thirty minutes, the noise outside gradually subsided.
"It’s over..." Chu Keqing whispered, "Indeed, it’s a trick, trying to distract us to check at the door?"
Chen Yan squinted his eyes without saying anything.
Because, the next second...
A creaking sound suddenly came from the bathroom, followed by... the sound of running water!
Chu Keqing raised an eyebrow, and before she could say anything, a shrill scream suddenly came from the bathroom!
"Ah!!!!!!"
The scream was piercing and painful, clearly a woman’s voice.
Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat, his expression changed slightly.
Because, although the scream was painful, he faintly recognized the original voice!
It was a voice Chen Yan was very familiar with, it sounded just like Lu Sisi!
"Pah, messing with my mind!" Chen Yan sneered coldly.
A few minutes later, the screaming voice suddenly changed, it became the voice of Gu Qingyi!
Chen Yan was stunned, continuing to sneer.
He even had a thought... Too bad the phone screen was blacked out, otherwise, he would’ve recorded this fake Gu Qingyi’s scream...
A few minutes later...
The screaming voice suddenly changed again!
This time, the painful scream sounded very old, Chen Yan’s expression became even more peculiar.
This... was the voice of an old lady!
He was not moved at all, instead, he sneered out loud.
Pah!
What kind of person is my old lady? A Saint Venerable!
Mere fiend, thinking you can fool me with this voice?
If you had the ability to make a Venerable scream... would you be playing these tricks? A single glare from her and I’d be reduced to nothing!
After three consecutive screams, seeing that Chen Yan was unmoved, the voice stopped, then a new sound emerged.
This time, upon hearing the scream, Chu Keqing, who was sticking close to Chen Yan, suddenly started trembling all over.
"Master, Master..."
"Calm your mind! It’s a disguise trick." Chen Yan said sternly.
Chu Keqing took a deep breath, continued reciting the "Purifying Heart Spell," and finally, her body gradually stopped shaking.
But Chen Yan’s heart was not relaxed at all.
This dangerous trial... it can spy on my memory!!
Lu Sisi, Gu Qingyi, the old lady... these voices should only exist in my memory!
Yet whatever demon conjured this trick, it could spy on my memory without my knowing... This made Chen Yan feel a chill in his heart.
The screams in the bathroom finally started to subside, and the sound of running water also ceased.
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow, sneering inwardly.
The first wave was sleepiness, the second wave was the door banging, the third wave was the bathroom screams...
It can’t just be these mind-disturbing tricks!
Chen Yan casually blinked, his eyelids closed and opened.
In an instant, his expression changed!
·
Dim lighting, a table full of dishes, and two bottles of fine brewed wine.
He was wearing a white robe from the Academy and sitting at the table, next to him, Chu Keqing was as delicate as a flower, her eyes full of deep affection, almost overflowing.
This was clearly the scene from last night when the two of them had dinner in the temple’s backyard!
Then Chu Keqing slowly leaned over, placing one hand on his shoulder, holding a pair of delicate chopsticks in the other, picking up a slice of beef, and was about to feed him, whispering, "Senior..."
Chen Yan’s eyes widened, his body suddenly moved back!
But Chu Keqing, who was so close, suddenly had a distorted and twisted expression, and the chopsticks in her hand fiercely stabbed towards Chen Yan’s eyes!
Chen Yan grunted, countered with a "Finger Sword" strike!
Chu Keqing screamed, her shoulder pierced by a surge of Primordial Qi, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground, she rolled on the floor twice, got up again, her face now a bloody mess, her mouth wide open like a rift monster, filled with fangs, a bloody maw...
Chen Yan had already leapt up from the ground, retreating swiftly.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pulled open from the outside!!
A figure rushed to the doorway, it was Chu Keqing— but not her beautiful form, instead, it was her appearance after using the Transformation Technique before the two of them snuck into the desolate village!
The Chu Keqing outside looked extremely disheveled, her clothes torn and bloodstained, she shouted anxiously, "Senior! Run!!"
Saying this, she reached out to pull Chen Yan, seemingly to drag him out the door.
Chen Yan suddenly had a flash of thought, and immediately grabbed Chu Keqing’s wrist!
