Killing God

Chapter 170 IX Is There Any Killing Intent?

After staying on the mountain for a long time, I watched another inexplicable quarrel between men and women. Although I was a little curious about He Xiaomei's sudden absence at night, Shen Shi and Sun You didn't mean to meddle in other people's business. ~Top~Point~Small!~Say~ After leaving all the way, go to the wharf for crossing the sea fairy boat under Jinhong Mountain, and look at the sky. It is almost time to pass.

Sun You accompanied Shen Shi all the way down the mountain, chatting and chatting with him on the way, looking forward to the upcoming Baishan Realm Selection Conference, he seemed in a good mood, of course Shen Shi could understand the mood of this good friend at the moment, and was also happy for him from the bottom of his heart .As for the other Sun Heng who was involved in the internal struggle of the Sun family, the two of them agreed and did not mention it as if they had a tacit understanding.

Walking down the mountain, when he saw the fairy boat crossing the sea, Shen Shi said goodbye to Sun You, and Sun You said with a smile: "You go early and come back early, there will be a lot of big things in the future, and it will be half a year later during the Sizheng Conference. It can be regarded as one of the most critical moments in our journey of cultivation."

Shen Shi nodded, and said: "I know." When he was about to turn around and get on the boat, suddenly a person rushed over from the fairy boat crossing the sea ahead, he looked like a sailor on the fairy boat, hurry up Step up to the two of them.

Shen Shi was wondering, but he heard Sun You who was stunned beside him, and said in astonishment: "Xu San, why are you here?"

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

Sun You walked back, Shen Shi glanced at him, couldn't help but startled for a moment, but found that Sun You's face seemed a bit dignified and ugly, he couldn't help asking: "Who is that man, what's the matter?" something?"

Sun You hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Xu San is from my grandmother's Xu family, and she just came to tell me the news that the house on the other side of Liuyun City is the place where Miss Chunni lives. It's like being discovered by the beast alliance and besieged by people."

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

Seeing that his face was shocked and ugly, Sun You hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although there was some danger in the middle, but in the end my uncle and the others took people there to save her. Miss Chunni should be fine, and she is now being placed in Xu's mansion. So if you want to go and see her, go directly to Xu's house. "

Only then did Shen Shi heave a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he felt a little bit afraid in his heart, nodded immediately, and said: "Okay, then I'll go there right away, and at the same time thank Patriarch Xu for saving his life in person."

After speaking, he turned around and strode forward. Sun You could more or less understand his eagerness, so he didn't say much, but Shen Shi walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and after a while, suddenly turned around again Come on, look at Sun You, and said: "Sun You, did that person just say how the Beast League found that house?"

Sun You shook his head, and said: "I didn't mention this matter." He pondered for a moment, then said, "However, those people from the Beast League are local snakes in Floating Cloud City, and they are very familiar with the situation in the city. It’s not certain what you can find out from places like Foxsheshu.”

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, nodded without saying anything, greeted Sun You, and left.

In Floating Cloud City, the Xu family's mansion.

The huge houses and pavilions are stacked and exquisitely carved, and some pavilions and pavilions that are more than a hundred years old can be seen everywhere, and they seem to quietly tell the stormy years that have been experienced here, revealing a trace of vicissitudes.Small lakes in the garden are dotted among them, and there is a bit of elegant scenery. The fallen leaves and flowers have been swept away, and the whole mansion exudes a clean and tidy atmosphere, as if there is a vitality emanating from this house.

In a courtyard in the west garden of the mansion, there are three rooms, which are usually arranged as guest rooms. In the midst of the hectic last night, someone was placed here. Except for the one in the middle to the north that was unoccupied, the east wing and the west wing were two rooms. Everywhere, people live in it.

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

The sudden fight yesterday lasted until late at night, and it really was a trip to the gate of hell. Although Ling Chunni did not suffer any serious injuries in the end, she was not frightened at all. small.After being rescued by the Xu family, and brought back to the Xu family's mansion and placed here in Xiyuan, Ling Chunni thought that she would be terrified and sleepless all night. She also missed Shen Shi very much, but at some point, she fell asleep while lying down and fell asleep.

She had a dream, and there was more than one dream. It was a lot of strange dreams that were complicated, difficult, and vague. The time of each dream seemed to be very short. One dream lasted for a while and then suddenly burst and fell into another one. The dream, just like this, seems to be an endless dream, floating in a daze in the grotesque illusion.

Some people say that dreams are like bubbles in the morning dew, which are easily shattered and then disappear without a trace. However, when Ling Chunni travels through one dream after another, even if she occasionally wants to remember something, she often finds that she will forget it when the dream is shattered. Most things.

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

Later, she woke up.

It was dawn when I woke up, but I had been sleeping all night, Ling Chunni was lying on the bed, feeling a little dazed and dazed, thinking that in the past few days, I have always seemed to be sleepy and lazy for some reason, Maybe it's burnout from being cooped up at home for so long?

She shook her head lightly, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart for no reason. In the thought just now, did she unknowingly regard that hut as her "home"?

It's a pity that it is gone now?

Feeling a little sad in her heart, she sighed and sat up.His eyes swept over this room. He arrived in a hurry last night, and after being tired and frightened, he had no leisure time, so he almost didn't take a good look at the room. Now that he took a closer look, he found that the room was very spacious, no matter the tables, chairs, counters They are all ancient and ancient, revealing a thick and long-lasting atmosphere, which fully shows the background of this big family of the Xu family.

Everywhere in the house appeared to be very clean, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it from time to time, and there was no mess or stain due to the sudden occupancy, including the ground.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the foot of the bed, and Ling Chunni saw the curled little black pig lying on the ground under the edge of the bed, soundly asleep.

It seems that this pig is more sleepy than her, and it is carefree or heartless. It can be seen that it sleeps very sweetly. Just looking at its appearance, no one would think There was such a ferocious fight last night, and this little black pig also showed great power at the last moment, rampaging and overturning many monks of the Beast Alliance in the hut, just the one whose ankle was bitten off by it was at least No fewer than five people.

Ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators, even those of the Beast League cultivators who are strong and used to fighting with weapons in their hands, seem to have no resistance under the fangs of this black pig, but this is Ling Chunni. never thought of.In the past, Shen Shi left Xiao Hei with her, saying that it was to accompany her to relieve boredom and protect her, but Ling Chunni always thought it was the former, and Xiao Hei usually looks lazy and lazy all day long, so there is nothing to deter foreign enemies out of place?

But the battle last night clearly fully demonstrated that there are thousands of monsters in the world, and there are no wonders. Even a pig, you can't underestimate it, otherwise, those monks from the beast alliance with broken legs last night will be the end.

She was a little lazy, stretched, and got out of bed.When walking past the sleeping little black pig, Xiao Hei's two ears moved, as if tilted up, but I don't know if it was because he slept too soundly and didn't want to wake up, or he felt that at this moment There would be no more danger, Xiao Hei's pig ears drooped again soon, and he muttered twice, without even opening his eyes, still sleeping very sweetly.

After tidying up her clothes, Ling Chunni suddenly heard a calm male voice coming in from outside the door, saying:

"Xu Teng, may I ask if Miss Ling is up?"

Ling Chunni was taken aback, stood up quickly, walked quickly to the door and opened it, only to see a middle-aged man standing outside the room with a smile on his face, 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, the two of them were from completely different worlds at that time, and she never thought that one day they would meet. Standing in front of the Patriarch of the Xu family who once thought he was superior, although Xu Teng seemed to have a gentle smile at the moment, he was not much different from ordinary people.

Ling Chunni didn't dare to be negligent, maybe she still had some instinctive awe in her heart, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Little girl has met Patriarch Xu."

Xu Teng looked at Ling Chunni, smiled and said, "Miss Ling, did you rest well last night?"

Ling Chunni nodded, and said: "Very well, thank you Patriarch Xu for saving your life yesterday, the little girl is very grateful."

Xu Teng laughed, waved his hands and said: "It's just a little effort, girl, don't take it to heart. Speaking of which, Shen Shi and I are considered acquaintances, and he also rescued my third brother that day, everything is as it should be."

While talking, suddenly there was a creaking sound from the other side of the yard, but it was a girl who came out from the East Wing. Xu Teng and Ling Chunni turned their heads to look, only to see the girl come over and say:

"Master, Miss Zhong has already got up."

Xu Teng nodded, waved the girl to go down, and then smiled at Ling Chunni: "Miss Zhong has an injury, so I arranged for a maid to take care of her, but she doesn't seem to like it very much, what, do you want to follow me?" Go and see her together?"

Ling Chunni already missed Zhong Qingzhu a little bit in his heart, so he nodded quickly and agreed, and the two walked outside the door of the East Wing. Xu Teng, like before, knocked on the door and reported his name. After a while, he heard Zhong Qingzhu slightly A weak voice came from the house, saying:

"Please come in."

The door of the room was ajar, and Xu Teng took Ling Chunni to push the door in. As soon as she entered, Ling Chunni saw the layout of the room here, which was almost exactly the same as the west wing room where she lived. At this moment, the wound on Zhong Qingzhu's body was long gone. It was well bandaged, and she was wearing a green velvet cloak. Her face was slightly pale, and her beautiful features were slightly haggard, but there seemed to be a little more of a soft and gentle beauty that is rarely seen in ordinary times.

Seeing Xu Teng and Ling Chunni approaching, Zhong Qingzhu leaned forward, with a little apology on his face, and said to Xu Teng: "Xu Shibo, I am injured and inconvenient, and I cannot be present, please forgive me."

Xu Teng hurriedly gave him a hand, and said with a smile, "Sit, sit, sit down quickly, what are these vain etiquettes for?" He said with a smile, "I've heard about you for a long time in the past few years. The reputation of the rising star of the Zhong family is well established, and I wanted to see her a long time ago, but unfortunately I never had the chance, but I saw her today, and my niece Xian is indeed a leader among the people, her future is boundless."

Zhong Qingzhu smiled, and said: "Shibo is too much. Well, about what happened last night, I..."

Xu Teng didn't wait for her to finish, and interjected with a smile: "Don't worry, niece Xian, since you confessed last night, I will take care of it. The family has silenced this matter, and no one has been sent to Zhong's house to send a letter, so as not to disturb the family. Worried. You just need to recuperate well with me."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, a trace of gratitude still flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Shi."

Xu Teng laughed, and said: "It's just a trivial matter." After speaking, he chatted with the two of them here for a while, and then left.

After Xu Teng left, only Ling Chunni and Zhong Qingzhu were left in the room. The two women looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent. It looked a little awkward.

After a while, Ling Chunni walked over slowly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and after a moment of silence, said softly: "How is your injury?"

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that the blood is bleeding a little more, and it will be fine after a few days."

"Oh, that's good." Ling Chunni said.

"Yes." Zhong Qingzhu agreed softly.

The two were silent for a while.

Just when Zhong Qingzhu felt that he was not used to the awkward atmosphere and was about to say something, he suddenly heard Ling Chunni sitting there saying: "Qingzhu... girl, I want to ask you something."

Zhong Qingzhu said: "You say."

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, her expression didn't change much, everything was as usual, and said quietly: "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 Are you really going to strangle me?"
