Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 191 Return to the True Self
All ten directions are destroyed and cannot be tolerated in the world, and the same is true for the world in the painting.

As the deadly silence spread, Yun Yi found that the scene before him also turned black and white, and many scenes in the painting disappeared unnoticed.

Like a big dream about to wake up, the Sword-Forging Villa, the Xianyun Residence on Wufeng Mountain, and all the people in the painting, whether dead or alive, are no longer important.

At this moment, Yun Yi seemed to have turned into a drop of ink, about to fall onto a piece of plain white rice paper.

The sudden change in the world in the painting made him lose his mind until he could see the figure approaching from afar.

Song Xinci reached out and grabbed Yun Yi, their fingers intertwined.

Yun Yi pulled the woman into his arms, hugging her tightly, with his heart pressed against her chest.

One is hot, the other is cool.

Without the Heart Gu between them, it felt like something was missing from their hearts. But upon closer inspection, their hearts seemed to be completely filled with other things.

The affection was lingering, like rain and silk. The woman's eyes turned into lingering streams, which had already woven an unbreakable net between the two of them.

Without the Tongxin Gu, it is better than the Tongxin Gu.

Yun Yi felt the warmth of the woman in his arms. The touch was so real that he suddenly distinguished between reality and illusion.

Although the world in the painting is fake, the three years are also a dream that was forcibly prolonged.

But every detail of these three years was true, and he had to face his own feelings. This matter had nothing to do with his experiences in the previous life.

I was not me then, and you were not you. How can it be compared with now?
Yun Yi looked at Song Xinci gently. Both of them were speechless, but they had thousands of words in their hearts.

When their lips were about to touch and separate, Yun Yi's aura suddenly condensed and changed.

At this moment, he seemed to have abandoned all his useless cultivation, all the spiritual energy and spiritual thoughts in his body disappeared, and he turned back into the powerless scholar in the nameless town.

People in the world of mortals, seeking swords and asking for love, will eventually gain something and return to their original nature.

The scroll shattered, and the two people's eyes suddenly became clear. When they came to their senses, they found themselves in a paradise with birds singing and flowers blooming.

Yun Yi looked around and said with some regret: "It's a pity for the small courtyard in Wufeng Mountain."

The blush on Song Xinci's face had not yet faded. She wanted to push the man away, but she was also craving for this moment of tenderness.

A crisp voice came from a distance: "Ouch, so embarrassing!"

The woman's voice was like wind chimes, full of joy. It was naturally Nangong Zhuozhuo.

She just saw Wang Shenlai's scroll suddenly burst into light, and then she saw Yun Yi and the other person appear out of thin air.

Song Xinci was so embarrassed that she immediately broke free from his embrace. For a moment, she lowered her head and dared not raise it.

Yun Yi watched with great interest, what a shy beauty in the Hedao realm.

Nangong Zhuozhuo, who was spoiling the mood, hurried over and asked as soon as they met, "Is the painting fun?"

Yun Yi: "It's very fun."

"Oh, if he had known I'd throw a tantrum, he would have asked the master to send me to jail too!"

"That's such a shame! You don't know how much fun it is in the painting. There's so much fun to eat, drink, and have fun. We've been playing for three years now."

The more Nangong Zhuozhuo listened, the more envious he became, and in the end he actually became sullen.

So you two have been enjoying yourself in there for this month, while Xiaoye and I have been suffering countless hardships outside.

Ye Nianyi arrived late and comforted Zhuozhuo, "Silly boy, Brother Yun lied to you."

After saying this, she bowed to Yun Yi and Song Xinci and said, "Master, you said that one year in the painting is equal to ten days in the real world. Now, exactly one month has passed. Doesn't that mean you have spent three years in the painting?" Yun Yi nodded, "That's right."

After chatting for a while, Yun Yi saw a figure stretching on the other side of the pleasure boat, so he went to see his master alone.

The Wang Shenlai here was tall and had an extraordinary demeanor, which made Yun Yi a little uncomfortable for a while.

The master had obviously drunk quite a bit of wine again. When he saw Yun Yi, he laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?"

Yun Yi asked, "I just feel like you're not as handsome as you were when you were young."

"Bullshit!" Wang Shenlai cursed, "So many fairies are devoted to me, do I have to talk to you about it from time to time?"

"If Master is willing to talk, then please talk more. I would also like to listen."

Wang Shen could see that his young disciple was deliberately teasing him, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Have you felt some sympathy for me after reading the past in the scroll?"

Yun Yi said, "Now that I know it's a thing of the past, I don't feel sympathy anymore. I'm just overwhelmed with emotion."

"You seem to have a lot of questions in your mind. Tell me slowly."

Yun Yi heard a burst of women's laughter, and looked not far away. He saw Nangong Zhuozhuo suddenly hugging Song Xinci, saying some nonsense, which made Song Xinci and Ye Nianyi laugh.

He asked, "With regard to the Tongxin Gu...was it you, Master, who took action?"

Wang Shenlai said, "To be precise, it was your wife who untied it. Without her permission, the last sword energy could not forcibly kill the Gu worm."

Yun Yi nodded and said that he felt that there were some changes in Song Xinci, but he was not quite sure what was going on. It turned out that there was a problem here.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

Yun Yi asked again, "Is Sword Forging Villa really gone?"

Wang Shenlai said with regret, "Not only was the villa destroyed, but the Sword Forging City below the mountain also suffered. The Five Elements were damaged, and the villa's sword sharpening stones and sword washing springs were all polluted. As for the remaining things, they were also divided up by the people below the mountain.

"I didn't intervene because I felt guilty. This disaster was an unprovoked disaster for them. If I could compensate them, that would be the best."

Yun Yi suddenly pointed to the sky and asked, "Is he... really afraid of death?"

Wang Shenlai laughed and said, "What cultivators in the human world seek is immortality. To put it bluntly, it's just cowardice. In my opinion, he has become more and more like a human. His cowardice is simply ridiculous."

It is indeed ridiculous that all the disciples of the Sword-Forging Villa are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the sword. This kind of selfless spirit has actually surpassed the so-called heavenly way in the scroll.

Yun Yi was puzzled: "Why did it become like this?"

Wang Shenlai explained, "People have a lifespan, and so does Heaven."

He deliberately didn't explain the matter clearly. "You've only just entered the Return to Void Realm. There's no need to know too much. If an ant knew the journey would be tens of thousands of miles, it might not be willing to set out."

Yun Yi was helpless, but he couldn't do anything about his master.

The master and his wife talked for a while. Song Xinci thought they should have finished their "private conversation", so he took the initiative to come over and thank the Sword Saint.

Although Wang Shenlai did not accept Song Xinci as his disciple, the sword energy containing ninety-nine kinds of sword techniques was actually a gift that benefited Song Xinci a lot.

Wang Shenlai waved his hand, indicating that this was unnecessary, and then asked, "Now, let's talk about the two of you. Where are you planning to go?"

When Yun Yi heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, the three years in the painting had already passed.

Now that I'm back in the real world, there are still a lot of problems waiting for me.

That paradise-like life is far from the time.
