Killing God

Chapter 180 Warmth

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized that the girl with outstanding appearance in front of him was Xu Xueying, Xu Xing's daughter whom he had met a few days ago. Whether it was knowing right or wrong that he knelt down to save his mother left a deep impression on him, and it also made Shen Shi have a good impression of Xu Xueying, a girl. ｜Top｜Point｜Fiction

Seeing her smiling and saluting to him at this moment, Shen Shi hurriedly bowed his body and said with a smile: "So it's Miss Xu, I haven't seen her for a long time, how are you doing?"

Xu Xueying's eyes were as bright as water, and she looked in a good mood. She nodded and smiled and said, "I'm fine, Brother Shen, how about you? Why did you suddenly come to our house today?"

Just as Shen Shi was about to answer, he heard Xu Xing's voice from the back room, but it was he who heard his daughter's voice, and raised his voice on the bed behind and said: "Xiaoying, don't be rude, you are so young Why do you call him big brother or not big brother, brother Shen is father's savior, you have to call him uncle."

Xu Xueying pursed her lips when she heard the words, she seemed a little reluctant, and it seemed that she was also favored by Xu Xing on weekdays, and she didn't mean to be too afraid of this old man, so she just snorted softly, beeped He pouted and said, "What uncle, he's obviously not a few years older than me?"

Xu Xing sat on the bed furiously, slapped the mattress and shouted: "What are you talking about, is there any manners, you don't have to let Brother Shen see a joke! Usually your mother really spoils you, she has no rules at all."

Shen Shi was taken aback, and quickly turned around, waved his hand to Xu Xing, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, calm down, why bother to be angry about such a trivial matter. In fact, I am only a few years older than Miss Xueying. On the mountain, I was discussing friendship with Sun Youping, but he wanted to call you uncle, if you really want to say it, Miss Xueying could call me big brother, it should be like this, it should be like this!"

What he said here made Xu Xing's face look better, but he looked a little angrily, and glared at his daughter who was standing at the door angrily.It's just that Xu Xueying smiled sweetly, but she didn't see the slightest sign of fear, she just smiled and asked Shen Shi: "Brother Shen, you haven't told me yet, why are you here today?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, thinking that Ms. Xueying was also from the Xu family, not an outsider, so he roughly said the matter, and Xu Xueying let out an "ah" after hearing this, looking worried on her face , and then said: "So that's the case, by the way, Brother Shen, are you going back to Xiyuan to see those two injured sisters now?"

Shen Shi nodded, agreed with a smile, then turned around and said to Xu Xing in the room: "Master Xu, take good care of your wounds, and I will come to see you after a while."

Xu Xing smiled and cupped his hands.

Shen Shi walked out of the house, about ten steps away, when suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was Xu Xueying who ran over and said, "Brother Shen, our house occupies quite a large area, and there are many courtyards and corridors. , outsiders who are newcomers will inevitably not know the way, and Xiyuan is not too close to here, let me take you back."

Shen Shi thought it was true. The Xu family's mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has undergone many expansions and reconstructions. If it is not a person who has lived here for a long time, it is really easy to get lost.Shen Shi originally wanted to go to the front yard of the mansion and find a servant to inquire about the direction of Xiyuan, but he didn't expect that although Xu Xueying was only a girl in her early ten years old, she was exquisite and thoughtful, so she thought of this level. Immediately, she smiled and nodded, and said to Xu Xueying:

"That's the best, I'll thank Miss Xueying in advance."

Xu Xueying pursed her lips and smiled, led him forward, and said with a smile at the same time: "Brother Shen, what is the relationship between those two sisters and you?"

Shen Shi choked for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said: "One of them is my fellow apprentice, and the other is my... good friend."

"Oh." Xu Xueying nodded and said nothing more.

The two walked through halls and doors, walked through several corridors, and even walked through a garden in a winding way. After about a moment, Xu Xueying returned to Xiyuan with Shen Shi.

Shen Shi looked at the road and thought that the Xu family is worthy of being a century-old family. This mansion is really grand and luxurious. There is more than one path leading to this place, but this road feels like it may come from the backyard, and it is more tortuous. Some, it took a little longer to leave than the last time.

At the same time, hearing the movement of Shen Shi and others in Xiyuan, Ling Chunni quickly reacted. Ling Chunni leaned out from the east wing, saw that it was Shen Shi, immediately smiled happily, and waved at the door.

Shen Shi walked over with a smile, Ling Chunni smiled at him first, then his eyes fell on Xu Xueying who was following behind Shen Shi, startled for a moment, and asked Shen Shi: "Shitou, is this girl..."

Only then did Shen Shi realize that Xu Xueying didn't leave right away, he was a little embarrassed for a moment, and quickly introduced with a smile: "Oh, this is Miss Xueying, the daughter of the third master of the Xu family. sent me back."

Ling Chunni let out an "ah" before she was about to speak, when she saw Xu Xueying walking up without any fear, looked at Ling Chunni, and said with a smile: "This must be Sister Chunni, I am Xu Xueying. I just thought, what kind of woman is my friend who can be with Big Brother Shen, and seeing her now, my sister is really beautiful, I feel pity for her big beauty."

Ling Chunni's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't expect that a girl with a noble family background and an equally outstanding appearance in front of her would have such a sweet mouth, but every girl always loves beauty, let alone being praised face to face by a girl like Xu Xueying, she felt a burst of pain in her heart. Huanxi, but still a little embarrassed, smiled and said: "Sister, you are joking, in fact, you are a born beauty."

Xu Xueying walked to her side, took her hand and started talking with a smile. After just a few words, the two seemed to be getting closer. Shen Shi was a little dumbfounded when he saw her again. The door behind them opened, and Zhong Qingzhu could be vaguely seen still sitting on the bed, so he walked into the room first.

※※※

Seeing Shen Shi walking in, Zhong Qingzhu's face was pale, and he didn't have any more expressions. He just glanced at him silently, and then moved his eyes to himself.

Shen Shi walked to the side of the bed, pulled a round stool and sat down, just about to say something, but saw Zhong Qingzhu's silent and calm expression, even a faint refusal expression, he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know what to say What would be a good feeling, a little at a loss, but also a bit embarrassing.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little cold. The two sat very close, but they didn't speak for a while.And not far from the door, Ling Chunni and Xu Xueying stood together, talking non-stop, and from time to time there were two beautiful women's soft laughter like silver bells. It seemed that they really have become like-minded friends.

Inside and outside the house, separated by a door, the atmosphere is completely different.

Shen Shi frowned secretly, feeling something was wrong in his heart, when he was about to say something to relieve the unexpected awkward atmosphere in front of him, he saw Zhong Qingzhu glanced outside the door, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his eyes Passing over, said softly:

"She is indeed very beautiful, and she has a good temper and gentleness, so everyone will like her, even the little girl who just saw her for the first time today, right?"

"Hmm..." Shen Shi responded casually subconsciously, but after a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly said, "Chunni is just like that, but you are actually much better than her in other aspects." He smiled as he spoke. Get up, flex your fingers casually and say with a smile,

"You really are, why would you want to compare with her? You are not inferior to her in appearance, and your family background is better than her, not to mention in terms of cultivation, talent, future, and Taoism. Even I can't compare with you, let alone her. Is it? Let me tell you, you are a little too aggressive!"

Talking and laughing, Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, and then a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly, looking a little relieved, and the atmosphere in the room eased down again, but the smile was deep In the deep heart that no one saw, there was a faint bitterness tossing and falling.

※※※

A day passed in a blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and it was already nighttime.

Under the kind invitation of the Xu family, Shen Shi also stayed here in Xiyuan for the night, and a few candles lit up in the darkness of the vast night, lighting up the rooms in the east wing and west wing.

In the West Wing Room, Ling Chunni, who finally had some time to be alone, hugged Shen Shi and snuggled up to her for a while, and then whispered what happened yesterday from beginning to end. Shen Shi was still a little scared after hearing this, and hugged Shen Shi She still had some doubts about this matter in her heart.It's just that I don't have anything to think about it right now, so I casually told Ling Chunni that the Xu family planned to take action against the Beast League.

Ling Chunni immediately said happily: "Is this serious? If it is true, as long as the Beast League is eliminated, I won't have to hide in the future."

Shen Shi nodded with a smile, and said: "That should be the case. I originally wanted Patriarch Xu to ask if I could join in and do my part when attacking the Beast League. Well, but was rejected by Patriarch Xu, alas, this kind of favor is a bit big, so I won't be able to repay it in the future."

While saying that, she shook her head and sighed, Ling Chunni looked at him worriedly, and said, "Stone, is it because of me..."

Shen Shi quickly interrupted her with a smile, shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you. No matter how important the favor is, can it be stronger than your life? As long as you are fine, it is the best."

Ling Chunni bit her lower lip lightly, stared at Shen Shi, and suddenly hugged him deeply without saying a word, buried her head in his chest, and just kept hugging him without saying a word.Shen Shi patted her head with a smile, and said: "Okay, okay, it's fine."

Ling Chunni straightened up shyly, turned around slightly, rubbed her eyes quietly, felt calmer after waiting for a while, then turned her head, only to see Shen Shi sitting on the edge of the table in the room , took off the wish bag at his waist, took out a lot of things from it and placed them on the table, some of which were shining beautifully.

At the same time, Shen Shi waved to her and said, "Chunni, come here."

Ling Chunni went to sit beside him and said, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shi said: "I'm going to go hunting tomorrow morning, and tidy up the talismans and things that I carry with me." As he said, he swept dozens of crystal clear spirit crystals from the table into a pile, and pushed them in front of Ling Chunni, Said: "Right now you may have to live with the Xu family for a period of time, but you still need to bring some spirit crystals with you, and put them away first."

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay."

As he was speaking, he suddenly glanced over from the corner of his eye, but saw a small thing that seemed a little different behind another pile of spirit crystals. He couldn't help but reach out and pick it up curiously, and took a closer look. It is a strange black spar of deep black, dotted with tiny silver dots, like the endless stars in the deepest night sky.

"Hey, what is this?" She asked curiously.

Shen Shi glanced this way, was taken aback for a moment, then shrugged, and said: "I don't know what's the use of a useless thing."

Ling Chunni looked at the black crystal curiously, and suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she clasped her hands together and held the black crystal in her palm, with a bit of surprise and joy, and said to Shen Shi with a smile: :

"Ah, this spar is so warm!"
