Killing God

When he came back from Hongceng Village and walked around the herring market, he looked at the sky, it was only past noon, Shen Shi only felt that the time of this day seemed to be particularly long, but he wandered leisurely on this herring island on a sunny day, It also seems to be a rare kind of relaxation. .

He strolled in the Herring Concentration, visited a few shops, went to the White Crane Hall, and looked at the white, green and red boards. Unsurprisingly, the tasks on the board were familiar and common ones, not suitable for them. he.As for the yellow and purple boards on the back, there were very few tasks posted, but there were only a few, but they were indeed extremely difficult, and they could not be completed by the middle-level Qi Refining Realm, so he didn't pay attention.

After looking around, there was nothing to gain, Shen Shi didn't care, turned around and walked towards Baiyu Bay, gently stroking the "Little Ruyi Ring" on the finger of his left hand from time to time along the way, which was a bit novel Feeling, but unconsciously, I remembered the scene in Xilu City, Yinzhou when I was young.

Then, he naturally thought of his father Shen Tai again.

It has been three years, he has completely cut off contact with his father, and he has no idea where his father is now, and what is the situation like?Alone in a foreign land, occasionally in the dead of night, he would miss his father who had been dependent on him since he was a child. Even though he has gradually gotten used to life on Herring Island in the past three years, this yearning has never weakened.

After all, he is his only relative in this world.

Perhaps, the promise of the Immortal Association is worth believing!

Shen Shi was thinking this way in his heart, but he took out the small jade hourglass from his arms, the fine sand was still sliding down in the hourglass, he stroked the smooth surface of the hourglass lightly, There was a touch of warmth in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he had already walked to his own cave before he knew it.

He took out the cloud talisman to open the stone door, and the stone door opened with a rumbling sound. Just as he was about to walk in and wondered whether he should take advantage of his spare time to do his daily homework earlier, he suddenly heard a sound coming from behind. call:

"Shen Shi."

Shen Shi looked back, only to see Zhong Qinglu standing outside her cave at some point, wearing the costume of a female disciple of Ling Xiaozong, biting her thin lips slightly with her white teeth, her cheeks seemed to be slightly flushed, and one hand was hanging down. On the side, the other hand was grabbing the hem of the skirt, kneading it unnaturally, looking a little weird.

Shen Shi looked at Zhong Qinglu's expression a little differently than usual, but he didn't think too much about it for a while, and smiled, and said: "It's you, what's the matter?"

Zhong Qinglu stood there silently. After the first call, she didn't know why, but she didn't speak for a long time. The two stood alone at the door and the other stood outside the door. After a distance, they fell into a strange silence. .

Shen Shi frowned suspiciously, looked at Zhong Qinglu, and felt that the girl looked a little strange today, but didn't everything go well when the appointment was made yesterday?Under Shen Shi's slightly surprised eyes, Zhong Qinglu's expression became more and more unnatural, and the blush on her slightly fat cheeks seemed to be a little darker.

At the end, as if she had finally made up her mind, she gritted her teeth, raised her head angrily, her breathing was a little short, and strode up to Shen Shi.

"Shen Shi." She stared at him, blushing, but her eyes were a little dodgy.

"Ah?" Shen Shi was at a loss.

Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, then she lowered her head slightly and said, "Yesterday you gave me ten spiritual crystals and bought a set of spiritual materials for alchemy. I, I... made a mistake..."

She spoke very loudly at first, but as she spoke, Zhong Qinglu became inexplicably guilty, her eyes lowered, and she stopped looking at Shen Shi's face, and at the same time the blush on her face became deeper and her voice became thinner , getting lighter and lighter.

Shen Shi managed to hear Zhong Qinglu's words clearly, and then felt a pain in his heart, the alchemy failed, and the whole set of spiritual materials basically became waste, and the ten spirit crystals were lost for nothing.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he had already calculated that this transaction or gambling would definitely experience such a situation, but when he really had to face it, thinking of the ten disappearing sparkling spirit crystals, Shen Shi still felt a little distressed endlessly.But he quickly cleared his mind, because he found that Zhong Qinglu in front of him seemed more embarrassed than him, and seemed more depressed.

"Uh..." Shen Shi looked around and saw that the two were still standing at the door and the other was standing outside the door. The situation was indeed awkward, so he said, "Come in and talk."

Zhong Qinglu glanced at him, nodded silently, followed him into Shen Shi's cave.

The stone door was closed rumblingly, and the stone room fell silent. Zhong Qinglu took a few steps forward and looked at the cave. This was the first time she had entered Shen Shi's stone room. They were all put away very neatly, it can be seen that Shen Shi should be a person who is also very careful about daily trivial matters.

Shen Shi came over, and the two stood facing each other, but for a moment they didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became stiff again, after a while, Shen Shi shook his head, but took out today's words from his arms. The last remaining eight spirit crystals went to the side of my bed and took out two more, then put the ten spirit crystals gently on the table, relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "This is the second stroke. cost of."

Zhong Qinglu raised her eyelids slightly, and the bright eyes under the slender eyelashes reflected a pile of sparkling spirit crystals on the table.For some reason, she remained motionless for a long time.

Shen Shi glanced at her and said, "What's the matter? Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning?"

Zhong Qinglu lowered her head slowly, grasped and kneaded the hem of the skirt with both hands unconsciously, and after a while, said in a low voice: "If... if you fail again this time, what should you do?"

Shen Shi sighed, and said: "I was very lucky yesterday. I happened to find a nest of black-striped tortoise eggs on Yao Island. I went back to the animal farm to exchange for 21 spirit crystals, so I have some spare money. But I think I It should not be possible for my luck to be good every time, and my income will not be so high every time, and I have to leave some to guarantee my own cultivation. So..." He looked at Zhong Qinglu sincerely, and said, "If You still made a mistake in alchemy this time, so you have to wait for me for a few more days, and let me collect the next sum of money for you, okay?"

Zhong Qinglu's face flushed instantly, like a beautiful and delicate flower, unconsciously, a rare coquettishness was revealed, which surprised Shen Shi, and his eyes lit up.But looking at her expression, it is obvious that the whole person is embarrassed, and it seems that there is a deep sense of humiliation. As for the reason, Shen Shi can somewhat guess, but he himself did not expect that Zhong Qinglu usually looks at her. The overbearing and domineering girl actually seemed to be a little more innocent than he thought.

It took a long time before Zhong Qinglu seemed to muster up her courage, but her voice was unusually soft when she spoke, and said, "Either, or let's forget about this deal."

Shen Shi raised his eyes and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhong Qinglu lowered her head slowly, and said: "I took your spirit crystal to make alchemy, but when I was doing alchemy, for some reason, I always had all kinds of distracting thoughts in my mind, and there was always that kind of what if, what if I made a mistake. What should I do, the ten spirit crystals you gave were wasted like this. Then I even thought, if you still give me spirit crystals in the future, what should I do if I still make mistakes, just like this... just keep wasting you like this Go to the demon island and fight the monsters for the spirit crystal..."

Speaking of this, her face was full of anxiety, she looked up at Shen Shi, and said: "I don't know why there are so many strange thoughts, but I just can't concentrate, so... I made a mistake. "

Shen Shi was dumbfounded, looking at Zhong Qinglu for a while, he really didn't know what to say.

After a while, Zhong Qinglu saw that Shen Shi looked weird but didn't speak, and felt a little uneasy. It was strange to say that when the two of them had nothing to do with each other earlier, she saw that Shen Shi was naturally calm and said what he had to say. When the two of them first agreed on a deal, she was full of confidence at first, and even thought that this guy might be a fool, giving me money to practice for nothing.Only once she really started to use the spiritual crystals given by Shen Shi to buy spiritual materials and start alchemy, did she realize that there was such a heavy pressure in it, even if the pressure came from something inexplicable.

Even at this moment, standing in front of Shen Shi, she felt a faint sense of shame that she couldn't lift her head.

It was an emotion she had almost never felt in her 15-year-old life.

After a long time, in the silence in the stone room, Shen Shi suddenly said: "Why don't you promise me with your body."

Zhong Qinglu didn't react for a while, and said in amazement: "What did you say?"

Shen Shi said solemnly: "If you always fail in alchemy, if you have been unable to succeed, and wasted my countless spirit crystals, in the end, you might as well pay the debt with your body!"

Zhong Qinglu stood in a daze for a moment, and in an instant her cheeks flushed red again and she became furious, and said angrily, "Bastard!"

He rushed over and picked up the spirit crystals on the table at hand, and smashed them hard at Shen Shi one by one like stones, still shouting angrily: "Stinky mouth, you dare to take advantage of me, you are so bold! You smashed to death, smashed you!" kill you!"

Shen Shi ran away with his head in his arms, hid for a long time and ran to the corner of the stone room, but he still lost several of them.

The ten spirit crystals were thrown away by Zhong Qinglu in a blink of an eye, and the bones rolled on the stone room floor, making a crisp sound, accompanied by the girl's angry panting.

Shen Shi turned his head slowly, grinned, glanced at Zhong Qinglu, then slowly squatted down, picked up those scattered spirit crystals on the ground, and at the same time sighed softly, saying: "Although the spirit crystals are very hard, , but you don't want to throw it away like money."

Zhong Qinglu angrily turned her head and ignored him, but after a while her breath calmed down, she was silent for a moment, then turned her head to look at Shen Shi who was squatting on the ground picking up spirit crystals, snorted softly, but also squatted down, Picked up a spirit crystal that rolled near him.

The ticking sound was the spirit crystals rolling on the hard ground, and the scattered ground was very conspicuous. They were quickly picked up by the two of them, but one of the spirit crystals rolled under the bed, making Shen It took a lot of effort for Shi to find it, and he rolled out after playing with his hands.

Zhong Qinglu was squatting aside, watching the spirit crystal roll out, subconsciously reached out to pick it up, just as Shen Shi also reached out his hand, the two palms touched slightly, Zhong Qinglu snorted, turned his head and took his hand back.
