Chapter 99 Sharing Weal and Woe
Because of what they had to do next, Yan Huai decided to take Zhang Qiling to a secluded and hidden place to avoid being interrupted and suffering a backlash that would turn them into two idiots.
Meanwhile, Black Glasses packed his things, preparing to follow... oops! I mean, to follow Xie Lianrui's movements, and after the latter calculated the location of the back mountain of the Wang family's old house, he would go there with him.
As for why Yan Huai didn't just tell them the location directly?
The lessons learned from the two previous incidents that implicated Zhang Qiling were already severe enough. Yan Huai should not intervene in the development of the plot in the book under any circumstances except extreme ones. Moreover, even if he wanted to help, he should wait until Zhang Qiling was free from the restrictions of this world's rules before helping him. Not telling him the location could also buy him some time.
It will take at most a day and a half, which is enough time.
While taking advantage of the time difference, Yan Huai put everything he needed to prepare into his system space. He left the small courtyard house before Hei Yanjing, who had no space and whose preparations were too tedious. So when the latter came to nag him about paying back the money, there wasn't a soul left in the house.
"You bastard... You think I can't handle you? Wait until the mute wakes up, then I'll go after him!"
Pingshun, Shanxi.
Yan Huai circled between a very deep mountain hollow, looking down at the environment—although it looked desolate and messy, there was actually a section of the mountain wall with primitive steps carved out for people to pass through.
However, those steps were winding and steep, and it would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to climb to the normal ground with just their leg strength and physical strength.
This is a good place.
Yan Huai blinked slightly, glancing back at Zhang Qiling, who was sleeping peacefully among his mane: "This will do..."
Yan Huai quickly swooped down, and when he landed on the ground at the deepest point, he regained his human form, still holding Zhang Qiling firmly in his arms.
The ground beneath their feet was particularly dark due to its low elevation, but Yan Huai didn't seem to mind. He adapted well, so after confirming that there was no one around, he helped Zhang Qiling lean against a smooth rock.
The most important aspects of a soul-binding bond are the condensation and merging of heart's blood and the degree of willingness of both souls. However, Zhang Qiling's soul is currently affected and he is unaware of the situation, so Yan Huai can only try to enter Zhang Qiling's consciousness himself, coaxing and deceiving him to make him willing...
Yan Huai suppressed his overwhelming excitement and guilt. After taking a deep breath, he withdrew most of his perception and senses of the outside world. Then, he focused his attention and quietly guided a wisp of cyan spiritual energy into Zhang Qiling's consciousness.
I just hope that Zhang Qiling has at least a little trust in him right now...

The sound of dripping water in an empty environment always conveys a sense of deathly silence and eeriness. Yan Huai gradually opened his eyes in a gray, misty sea of consciousness.
Nothingness, emptiness, and the unknown—these are the words that Yan Huai can think of that best describe Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness. Although he has never entered anyone else's sea of consciousness, he intuitively feels that a normal person's sea of consciousness should not have such an environment.
Could the influence on the soul extend to the sea of consciousness? Yan Huai wondered uncertainly, and continued walking deeper into the sea of consciousness.
However, no matter how long Yan Huai was gone, Zhang Qiling's sea of consciousness remained unchanged. It was like an empty shell that had never contained anything, exuding a lifeless loneliness.
"Zhang Qiling..."
