CHAPTER XXXVI

I spat out a big bubble and almost choked myself to death. When you open your eyes, you can see endless darkness all around. If the water weren't buoyant, I wouldn't even be able to tell where the surface was and where the bottom was. I tried to stabilize my body and gently paddled the water with my hands, but it felt strange to the touch. I was a little skeptical that I was still in the lake, but I felt as if I was floating in space. I slid my hand over the water, and suddenly there was a warm sensation in my fingertips. I tried to chase the direction of the heat, and when my body was fully in the warmth, the sound of the bamboo played again. The sound was in my ears...

The heat went straight to the bottom of the lake, because I could now see that the bottom of the lake was glowing with a golden light, so peaceful... So serene... I knew very well that I was being bewitched again, but my body was still chasing the golden trajectory and sinking again.

Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo around him stopped abruptly, and the cold instantly hit the whole body. I shrank coldly and saw a huge youkai lying at the bottom of the lake. I cautiously swam behind a rock and ducked, secretly looking at the huge Nine Infants. He seemed to be dead, motionless. But I know he's not dead, he's just asleep.

I adjusted the angle, and suddenly found that there was a girl sleeping quietly in Jiuying's arms. This girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a purple dress, and she gently leaned on Jiuying's arms, which turned out to be very harmonious. I tried to look closer, but I didn't hold my breath, and a series of bubbles came out of my nose. I was so bad that I wanted to hide in a different place, but the girl had already discovered me. She floated to my side very calmly and looked back at Jiuying. found that Jiu Ying was still asleep, so he turned his head again. She frowned and looked at me for a moment, and then I heard a voice say to me, "Who are you?"

I was a little surprised, and looked at her with wide eyes, this voice was very old, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an old man who was close to old age. Besides, it was at the bottom of the lake, and her mouth was not open, so what did she say to me?

"Who are you?" The voice came again, and I said in my heart that even if I wanted to answer, how could you make me open my mouth at the bottom of this deep lake? Just thinking about this, Jiu Ying suddenly turned over. The girl shoved me hard with both hands, and pushed me back into the golden current, and before I could react, the current suddenly changed direction and sucked me out of the bottom of the lake. It didn't feel good, I was kind of like I was being squeezed out of the drain. I took a big breath, and all of a sudden, my ears, my chest, and my whole body hurt like a thousand needles, but fortunately it was far from where I had gone into the water, and I swam ashore in one direction.

My heart was still beating violently, and I was clutching my chest in pain as I lay on the grass on all fours, spinning the sky for a while.

Suddenly, ripples began to ripple on the surface of the lake, and something huge was about to float up at the bottom of the lake. My first reaction was that Jiu Ying woke up, and just as I wanted to get up and run away, a huge snake-like thing suddenly came out of the lake and stopped in front of me. I was standing by the lake, less than two fists away, and the baby face of the snake was facing me straight in the face. I could even feel the snort of his breath spraying on my face.

Although the baby's face slept peacefully, I still felt indescribably strange and evil. I cautiously moved to the side, and the baby's head suddenly flicked, as if stretching, and retracted into the bottom of the lake.

"Dai Dai, why are you here? let me find it easy! I didn't say that I wouldn't let you..."Qingqing's voice suddenly came from not far behind me, startling me a lot. I saw her fall from the sky to the ground, and in an instant, she changed from a blue bird to a human form.

I hurriedly ran two steps to her side, covered her mouth, and dragged her into the reeds on the side, "My mom, you be quiet!"

Qingqing was a little inexplicable, and broke my hand away, but she was very cooperative with me and lowered her voice, "What are you doing here?

I was a little excited at this time, and I was a little scared and said, "I saw the nine babies!"

"Jiuying, here?" Qingqing opened her mouth in surprise, but muttered quietly, "She shouldn't be here at this time...", I hurriedly covered her mouth with my hand, "You be quiet." He pointed to the surface of the lake. Qingqing also pointed to the surface of the lake in some surprise, and I nodded, and put down the hand covering her mouth.

"No wonder!" Qingqing continued, "The master called me here today to let me take a good look at you, but I didn't expect you to come here without looking at you." ”

I understood that the owner she said was Hu Piaopiao, so I didn't say anything more, so I had to smile awkwardly. It was quiet for a while, and the lake seemed to be calm, so I pulled up Aunt Qingqing and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, this time, it was Qingqing's turn to grab me and make a silent gesture to me. I turned my head to look at the lake, and there was nothing unusual! I turned my head to look at her again, and she pointed to the other side of the lake, and her hand trembled a little. I looked in that direction in wonder, looking confused, there was nothing over there! But Qingqing's expression was very frightened, and it didn't look like he was lying to me, I had to calm down and perceive everything over there. But after trying several times, I still can't get the point.

In less than two seconds, in the direction where I couldn't perceive anything just now, a figure suddenly appeared, this is the figure of a girl, wearing a white dress and a shawl with long hair. She flashed lightly from the sky to the lake, and she didn't seem to find any trace of me and Qingqing. She leaned down and held a pool of water in her hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly. I can see her face clearly, young master, witch will not leave.

I looked expectantly in the direction she had come, thinking that Shigeaki would follow. I looked at it for a while, but it was empty. Did the young master break into Jiuying's territory alone?

"Who are you, dare to break into our Nine Infant Lord's territory!" I came back to my senses and saw the two little demons panting and pointing their knives at the young master.

But the young master did not look at them, but took off his shoes and walked into the lake.

A little demon immediately rushed forward to pull the young master's shoulder, and the young master suddenly hung in the air, his eyes rolled up. This time, instead of starry pupils, I saw two pitch-black eyes with no pupils. She whispered, "!" and the little demon that had only touched her shoulder instantly turned to ashes, without even any struggle or wail. The other little demon had already peed his pants in fright, and only stood there trembling.

The young master smiled coldly, sucked it directly with his palm, and directly pinched his throat with his fingers. The little demon convulsed, letting the blood drip into the lake. The young master shook off the little demon's corpse and left him alone.

The surface of the lake suddenly became uncalm, and the originally quiet and blue water suddenly became blood-red and dazzling, churning rapidly, and suddenly formed a lake waterfall like a tornado on the surface of the lake. Qingqing hugged me to make sure that neither of us would be swept away by this vapor.

Suddenly, it seemed to be a few loud roars coming from the bottom of the lake, and several huge snake bodies suddenly rushed out of the lake, and eight thick snake body baby heads surrounded the young master in the middle in a semicircular posture, all with hideous expressions.

The young master wiped the blood stains on his fingers, then flew up, inserted the blood-stained finger into the center of the tornado, and said, "Break!" The tornado instantly lost its support, returned to the state of water droplets, and fell straight into the water. At the moment when the lake returned to calm, a baby girl suddenly poked her head out of the water. The other eight heads immediately gathered around her, still facing the young master in an enveloping posture.

The baby girl let out a loud roar at the young master, and this cry was so sudden that I only felt that my heart suddenly rose to my throat and eyes, and my ears were about to be deaf. But the young master didn't seem to think so, she stretched out her left hand and gently put it on Jiuying's head. Jiu Ying didn't even dodge or resist in the slightest, but closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it, letting the young master's white and slender fingers roam over his skin. Not only that, but the faces of the babies on the other heads were also slightly closed, making a comfortable ** sound.

"I won't let you wait too long, soon, soon!" the young master whispered softly, as if to comfort Jiuying.

I'm a little puzzled, isn't this young master supposed to kill the Nine Infants, why did he treat him like this? It seems that he is protecting him? What kind of operation is this! What is going on? I feel that my brain is completely stuck, and I can't seem to explain such a difficult problem at all. Turning his head to look at Qingqing, he found that although she was still trembling slightly with fear, she was also watching with relish.

Jiu Ying gently leaned the baby girl's head on the young master's head, and screamed, as if she was coquettish! I couldn't help but be a little stunned, could it be that Jiu Ying was a pet raised by the young master? Otherwise, why was she so dependent on her? Just thinking about it, suddenly all the baby heads began to struggle desperately, they all shrank into a ball, and the huge snake bodies began to entangle with each other. The young master was a little panicked, but he still jumped up and hugged the baby's head, comforting, "Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid..."

The baby's head was pulled at its neck, and it spat out a large mouthful of black blood, which splattered onto the shore and encroached on a large area of land.

Suddenly, the snake's head twisted its huge body, as if it was about to vomit, and a huge bubble rolled up from its lower abdomen, and after going back and forth twice, Jiuying's nine huge snake bodies suddenly shrank into a meat ball, and the meat ball contracted rapidly, and finally a girl's body appeared, which turned out to be the girl I had seen at the bottom of the lake!

Originally, I just thought that this girl was very familiar at first, but now that I am looking at it, it seems to be a little similar to the young master! The young master was not alarmed, but turned around disdainfully, and seemed to be very disgusted to see her face, "I didn't expect that you are the same as you were at the beginning, you haven't changed at all!"
