Killing God

Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine

After a long delay on the mountain, I watched another inexplicable quarrel between men and women. Although there was a bit of curiosity about He Xiaomei's sudden absence at night, neither Shen Shi nor Sun You meant to be nosy. ~~~~ After leaving all the way, head to the pier of the Immortal Boat under the Jinhong Mountain to see the sky. It is almost past the hour.

Sun You accompanies Shen Shi all the way down the mountain, chatting with him on the road, looking forward to the upcoming selection meeting of the Baishan Realm, and he seems to be in a good mood. Of course, Shen Shi can also understand the mood of this good friend at this moment, and he is also happy for him from the heart. . As for the other Sun Heng who was involved in the internal struggle of the Sun family, both of them did not mention it in a tacit agreement.

Walking down the mountain and seeing the immortal boat crossing the sea, Shen Shi said goodbye to Sun You, and Sun You smiled and said: "You go early and return early, but the next big thing will happen again and again. It will be a period of half a year after the Fourth General Assembly. It can be regarded as one of the most important moments in our path of cultivation."

Shen Shi nodded and said: "I know." As he was about to turn on the boat, suddenly a person hurried over from the immortal boat that crossed the sea in front. He looked like a sailor on the immortal boat. Stepped to the two of them.

Shen Shi was puzzled, but he was a little surprised when he heard Sun You staying next to him, and he said in astonishment: "Xu San, why are you here?"

The man named Xu San was silent, but he motioned Sun You to follow him to the side, and after whispering in a quiet place, he walked back to the tall sea fairy with no expression on his face. On the boat.

Sun You came back, and Shen Shi glanced at him and couldn't help but startled, but found that Sun You's face seemed a bit dignified and ugly, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is that person? What is this? Something?"

Sun You hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Xu San is from my grandmother's Xu family. Just now, he came over and told me that something happened to the house in Liuyun City where the Chunni girl lived. It’s like being discovered by the people of the Beast League and then besieged."

Shen Shi's body shook suddenly and lost his voice: "What?"

Sun You saw his face shocked and ugly, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although there is some danger in the middle, but in the end my uncle and the others led someone to rescue him. The Chunni girl should be fine and she is now placed in the Xu family mansion. Here. So if you want to go to see her, go directly to Xu's house."

Shen Shi only breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was a little bit afraid in his heart. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then I will go over, and at the same time, I would like to thank Patriarch Xu personally for saving my life."

When he said that, he turned and strode forward. Sun You could understand his eagerness, so he didn't say much, but Shen Shi walked out a few steps, suddenly he stopped, and after a while he suddenly turned around. Come, look at Sun You, and say: "Sun You, did that person say just now, how did the Beast League discover that house?"

Sun You shook his head and said, "I didn't mention this." He pondered for a moment, and then said, "However, the people in the Beast Alliance are the ground snakes in Floating Cloud City. They are very familiar with the situation in the city. Maybe they are from which city. I can’t tell from places like foxes and rats."

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, nodded without saying much, said hello to Sun You, and left.

※※※

In Floating Cloud City, the Xu family mansion.

The huge houses and pavilions are layered on top of each other with exquisite carvings, and some towers and pavilions over a century old can be seen everywhere, as if quietly telling the stormy years that have been experienced here, revealing a trace of heavy vicissitudes. The small garden lake is dotted with elegant scenery. The fallen leaves and flowers have been swept away. The whole house is full of clean and tidy atmosphere, as if there is a thriving vitality emanating from the courtyard.

In a courtyard of the mansion’s West Garden, there are three rooms, which are arranged as guest rooms on weekdays. Last night, during the turmoil, some people were placed here. Except for the one in the middle to the north, there are no people living in the east wing and the west wing. Everywhere, people live in.

Ling Chunni was the guest who was arranged to live in the West Wing by the Xu family.

Yesterday’s sudden fight lasted until late at night. It was really going to the ghost gate and walked for a while. Although in the end Ling Chunni didn’t suffer any particularly serious physical injuries, he was not frightened. small. After being rescued by the Xu family, she took it back to the Xu family’s mansion and placed it in Xiyuan. Ling Chunni thought she would be panicked and could not sleep at night. In fact, when she was just placed to sleep, she was indeed tossed and turned. She missed Shen Shi very much, but she did not know when she lay down and fell asleep like this, and fell asleep.

She had dreams, and there was more than one dream. There were so many strange dreams that were complicated, difficult and vague, and the time of each dream always seemed to be very short. One dream would suddenly burst after a while and then be trapped in another one. Dreamland, like this, dreaming like endless, floating blankly in the bizarre illusion.

Some people say that dreams are like morning dew blisters, which easily burst and disappear without a trace. When Ling Chunni walks through one dream after another, even if she accidentally wants to remember something, she often finds that she will forget it when the dream is broken. The vast majority of things.

She only vaguely remembered that most of these dreams were nightmares, but there were also some dreams that made her happy. The warmth she remembered and the only person she remembered was Shen Shi.

Later, she woke up.

It was dawn when I woke up, and I fell asleep all night. Ling Chunni was lying in the bed between the bedding, a little dazed and at a loss, thinking that since the recent period, I somehow always seemed to be a little sleepy and lazy. Maybe it's because of being at home for too long and getting tired?

She shook her head lightly, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart for no reason. In the thought just now, it turned out that she had already regarded that hut as "home" without knowing it?

It's a pity that it's gone now?

She felt a little sad in her heart, sighed slightly, and sat up. I glanced over this room, I arrived in a hurry last night, and after people were exhausted and scared, there was really no extra care. I almost never looked at it carefully. Now I take a closer look and find that the room is very spacious, regardless of the desks, chairs and counters. They are all antique, revealing a thick and long-lasting breath, which fully demonstrates the background of this big family of Xu family.

Everywhere in the house seemed very clean. It was obviously cleaned by people from time to time, and there was no messy stains due to the sudden move in, including the ground. With light from the corner of his eyes passing the foot of the bed, Ling Chunni saw the little black pig curled up in a ball and fell asleep on the ground under the edge of the bed.

It seems that this pig is obviously more sleepy than her, and carefree or heartless. It sleeps very sweetly at the first glance. Just looking at it, no one would think of it. There would be such a fierce fight last night, and this little black pig was also fierce at the last time. It rampaged and overturned many cultivators of the Beast League in that hut, and it was at least the one who bit his ankle. No fewer than five people.

Ordinary Qi-refining cultivators, even those of the Beast Alliance cultivators who are strong and sturdy and accustomed to fighting, do not seem to have any resistance under the fangs of this black pig. This is Ling Chunni. Never thought of. In the past, Shen Shi left Xiao Hei with her, saying that he was to accompany her to relieve her boredom and protect her, but Ling Chunni always felt that it was the former. On weekdays, Xiao Hei looks like a lazy and lazy person. What can deter foreign enemies? Where is it?

But the battle last night clearly showed that there are tens of thousands of monsters in the world. There is no wonder that even if it is a pig, you can't underestimate it. Otherwise, the monks of the Beast Alliance who broke their feet and embarrassed last night will end up.

She took a bit of laziness, stretched her waist, and got out of bed. When he walked by the sleeping little black pig, both of Xiao Hei's ears moved, and they seemed to be tilted upwards, but I don’t know if I slept too soundly and didn’t want to wake up, or if I felt that this moment. There would be no danger anymore, Xiao Hei's pig ears drooped down again soon, and he mumbled twice in his mouth. He didn't even open his eyes and was still asleep sweetly.

After finishing his clothes, Ling Chunni suddenly heard a calm man's voice coming in outside the door, just as he was a little startled, saying:

"Under Xu Teng, has Miss Ling got up?"

Ling Chunni was taken aback, got up quickly, walked quickly to the door and opened the door, only to see a middle-aged man standing outside the house with a smile, it was Xu Teng. As the head of the Xu family, Xu Teng is also well-known in Floating Cloud City. Even Ling Chunni had heard of it in the past. Of course, at that time, the two were completely different worlds, and she never thought that one day they would meet. Standing in front of the Xu Family Patriarch, who once felt aloof, even though Xu Teng’s smile seemed gentle and gentle at the moment, it was not much different from ordinary people.

Ling Chunni didn't dare to neglect, perhaps he still had some instinctive awe in his heart, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The little girl has seen Patriarch Xu."

Xu Teng looked at Ling Chunni and smiled, "Is it okay for Miss Ling to rest last night?"

Ling Chunni nodded and said, "Very well, thanks to Patriarch Xu for his life-saving grace yesterday. The little girl is grateful."

Xu Teng laughed and waved his hand: "It's just a matter of raising your hand, the girl doesn't have to worry about it. Speaking of which, I and Shen Shi are also acquaintances, and he also rescued my third brother that day, everything is right."

While talking, suddenly there was a creak from the other side of the yard, but a girl came out from the east wing. Xu Teng and Ling Chunni turned their heads and saw that the girl came over and said:

"Master, Miss Zhong has already got up."

Xu Teng nodded, waved his hand to let the girl go down, and then smiled at Ling Chunni: "Ms. Zhong is injured, so I arranged for a maid to wait on her, but she doesn't seem to like it very much. What? Let's see her together?"

Ling Chunni thought of Zhong Qingzhu a little bit in his heart, and he quickly nodded and agreed. The two walked outside the door of the east wing. Xu Teng knocked on the door to report his name as before. After a while, he heard Zhong Qingzhu feel a little bit. A weak voice came from the room, saying:

"Please come in."

The door of the room was concealed. Xu Teng took Ling Chunni and opened the door. As soon as she entered the door, Ling Chunni saw that the layout of the room was almost exactly the same as the western wing room she lived in. At this moment, Zhong Qingzhu's injury was already long. He was clearly bandaged, wearing a green velvet cloak, his face was slightly pale, and his face was slightly haggard, but it seemed a little more delicate and gentle beauty that was rarely seen in ordinary days.

Seeing Xu Teng and Ling Chunni coming, Zhong Qingzhu leaned forward, with a little apologetic expression on his face, and said to Xu Teng: "Xu Shibo, I have injuries and inconveniences on my body, and I can't see the courtesy. Please forgive me."

Xu Teng hurriedly gave a hand and smiled: "Sit, sit, sit fast, what do these humility do?" He said and laughed, "I have heard about you for a long time in the past few years. The reputation of the rising star of the Zhong family has long been eager to see it, but unfortunately there is no chance. When I see it today, the virtuous niece is indeed a leader among the people and the future is unlimited.

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, "The uncle's prize is over. Well, about what happened last night, I..."

Xu Teng didn’t wait for her to finish, so he smiled and interjected, “Don’t worry, my niece, since you confessed to it last night, I should take care of it. The family has banned this matter and did not send anyone to Zhong’s house to deliver letters, so as not to make the hall a mess Worry. You can just take care of your injuries here."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Shi Bo."

Xu Teng laughed and said, "It's just a small matter." He talked with them for a while, and then left if something happened.

After Xu Teng left, there were only Ling Chunni and Zhong Qingzhu left in this room. The two women looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while. The atmosphere in the room fell silent. It seemed a little embarrassing.

After a while, Ling Chunni walked over slowly and sat down on the edge of the bed. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "How is your injury?"

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that there is more blood flow. It will be better after a few days."

"Oh, that's all right." Ling Chunni said.

"Yeah." Zhong Qingzhu agreed softly.

The two were silent for a while.

Just when Zhong Qingzhu felt a little uncomfortable with the embarrassing atmosphere, and was about to say something, he suddenly heard Ling Chunni sitting there and saying: "Qingzhu...girl, I want to ask you something."

Zhong Qingzhu said: "You said."

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, his face didn't change, everything was as usual, quietly said: "At the end of last night, you put your hand on my neck, if... if there is no rescue from Xiao Hei and the Xu family, then Will you really choke me to death?"
