Chapter 22: The Hunt Begins

Looking up at the noon sun, Ning Yue lay on the floor gasping for breath, his right hand was a little numb, and there was still a little tearing pain in his meridians.

The cultivation of spiritual martial arts was really as he thought, it was difficult.

Obviously, he completely followed the one move and one style described on the scroll to circulate the aura in his body, and then swung the sword, but it had no effect, and the only feeling was that he was very sore all over his body.

It's a lot more tiring than just swinging a sword.

"It is worthy of spiritual martial arts, even if it is only an inferior level, it will take a long time to cultivate. ”

The scroll had already been retracted into his robe, and Ning Yue turned over and jumped up, there was already a burst of hunger in his belly, and the little wolf was also waiting for him to feed him in the room.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, he bumped into a figure, the person he wanted to see the most, but he wanted to avoid it the most.

Seeing Ning Yue approaching him, Yuan Jingsi, who was dressed in casual clothes, smiled slightly: "What's the matter, where are you going?"

"Find something to eat, and it's time to feed the wolf. Ning Yue naturally told the truth.

Who knows, Yuan Jingsi smiled even more: "Then don't go back, I've already fed the little wolf, and it's very full." ”

"Huh?"

Ning Yue was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous, the little wolf was still vigilant in the City Lord's Mansion, except for him, no one would eat anything he gave, how could it?

Yuan Jingsi smiled: "So, you don't have to go back, how about a trip with me?" I want to go out shopping, accompany me." ”

"Good. ”

Ning Yue nodded without thinking, but he didn't expect that at the same time, another voice came from a distance.

"Miss, I'd better go with you. ”

There, Liu Wei was patrolling the mansion with five or six guards, and after a few more explanations with his subordinates, he hurried over and looked at Ning Yue with a hostile expression.

"Liu Wei, you have a task in your body, it's inconvenient to get out, just do your own thing. Yuan Jingsi snorted coldly, obviously a little displeased.

At this time, Ning Yue said: "That eldest lady, can you let me talk to him alone." Before you go out, since you're not feeling well, you should change into another dress, right?"

Hearing this, Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, Yuan Jing didn't know why, and looked down at Ning Yue's signaled gaze, and was suddenly stunned again, and then her cheeks suddenly turned red. I saw that on top of my skirt, near the waist, a touch of red oozing from the inside was very conspicuous.

Syllable!

Ning Yue was slapped heavily, Yuan Jingsi turned around and left, humming: "Where are your eyes going? Moreover, can you not think about it? Stand there and wait for me, don't leave!"

Touching his somewhat sore cheeks, Ning Yue couldn't cry or laugh, this kind of thing is really inconvenient to speak. But in this way, he can be regarded as having time alone with Liu Wei.

"I'm just a passerby, I'll leave by myself in a few days, why should Commander Liu be forced to do it?"

Liu Wei looked at the back of the departing and said in a deep voice: "I think it's best for you to leave as soon as possible, this city lord's mansion shouldn't be for you." Otherwise, you'll regret it. ”

With these words, he turned and walked away.

Ning Yue didn't care, he had heard a lot of similar warnings in the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion back then, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, standing in place and waiting quietly, some of them began to look forward to the development of things later.

After a while, Yuan Jingsi changed into a brand-new aqua blue long skirt, walked slowly, and saw that Ning Yue was really still there, and immediately smiled slightly: "Yes, quite obedient." ”

"It's slow. Whispering a little complaint, Ning Yue nodded and smiled: "Miss, will you leave now?"

"Hmm. Also, didn't you say that when there is no one else, just call me by my name. ”

"This ......"

Ning Yue glanced left and right, and seeing that there was indeed no one else, he called out tentatively: "Then let's go, Miss Yuan Jingsi." ”

Suddenly, Yuan Jingsi raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips and hummed: "What is this title? Just call me Jingsi, no matter how formal you dare to be, believe it or not, I'll drive you away?"

When the words came out, she seemed to regret it a little, and quickly shook her head: "I didn't mean that, I won't drive you away." ”

"This is your home, and it makes sense to drive me away. ”

Ning Yue smiled, and his heart was a lot happier.

"You haven't eaten, right, I'll take you to eat something delicious. Hehe, let's take a look at the characteristics of our Thai Star City. ”

Following Yuan Jingsi's footsteps, she turned several streets in the city, and she had not yet officially arrived, but all kinds of tempting fragrances that spread in the air were already permeating, and people couldn't help but move their index fingers when they smelled it.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and I miss this place the most! Ning Yue, do you have anything you want to eat? Pick and choose, I'll treat you." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Yue's hand was already full of packing boxes of all kinds of snacks. To be precise, he was holding all kinds of snacks and snacks packed in different packages, and Yuan Jingsi ate each of them on the spot, and naturally had his share, and then he had to pack a few more copies to take back.

Walking in the crowded crowd, Ning Yue tasted all kinds of snacks, but his eyes never left the shadow cruising in front of the various stalls and shops in front of him.

Just as Yuan Jingsi was approaching a new store, suddenly, a bad premonition appeared in Ning Yue's heart, and he subconsciously looked back, but he was the most ordinary passerby, nothing special.

"Ning Yue, what's wrong?"

Yuan Jingsi also stopped, because she was still chewing snacks in her mouth, her voice was a little blurred, and the corners of her mouth were stained with a lot of sugar juice, which made a pair of cherry lips look more vivid.

"It's nothing, I was squeezed just now, and the thing almost didn't hold steady, so I adjusted it. Ning Yue smiled and prevaricated.

It's just that he was still thinking in his heart, where did the feeling just come from?

Next, Yuan Jingsi turned to another street and began her terrifying shopping, a commercial street swept from beginning to end, jewelry, clothes, antiques, and even many weapons, all bought and packed and sent back.

Standing at the door of the last shop, she suddenly looked back, as if she didn't remember that she had brought someone with her until this moment, and then, she raised her finger and pressed it to Sakura's lips, blinked her eyes, and asked, "That Ning Yue, did I buy too many things?"

"That...... Like, okay?"

Ning Yue swallowed his saliva, and once again sighed that the rich and noble families were different.

Of course, Yuan Jingsi wouldn't know that Ning Yue was so calculated, nodded and smiled: "That's good, Daddy is troublesome, always persuading this and that, and not letting me buy what I like." People don't come back a few times a year, and they can't indulge once in a while. Still hello, I like it. ”

"Like?"

Suddenly, Ning Yue was stunned, his cheeks were slightly red, although he knew that what the other party was referring to was definitely not what he meant, but he couldn't help but beat in his heart.

He shook his head vigorously, and he secretly cursed in his heart, what the hell was he thinking.

Fortunately, Yuan Jingsi didn't seem to notice this, took a few steps back, stood in front of an arms shop, looked at it, looked back and beckoned: "Ning Yue, come here." If I'm not mistaken, your sword seems to be rusting badly, do you want to change it?"

"No, that sword is pretty easy to use. Ning Yue directly refused, the secret buried under the rusty ancient sword was his strongest weapon, how could it be replaced.

Besides, the weapon shop here may not have any high-level blades such as spiritual weapons, but after all, it is within the territory of the Snow Dragon Empire, and it must be an extraordinary product, although he has a lot of money left, but it is not much, and I am afraid that if I buy one, I will have to bottom out of my wallet.

"Well, this one for you. ”

Ning Yue was still thinking about it, a brand-new sheathed long sword had been handed to him, the hilt and the lines on the scabbard were exquisitely carved but not complicated, just right, subconsciously took it and put it in his hand, and the weight was also very suitable.

Standing in front of him, Yuan Jingsi grinned: "It seems that you are quite satisfied, then accept it, as a gift for you to accompany me to go shopping and have no nonsense." ”

"This can't be ......"

Hurriedly pushing the sword back, Ning Yue instantly felt a resistance coming, and saw that Yuan Jingsi easily resisted the long sword with one hand.

"There's nothing wrong with it, what I sent out hasn't been taken back yet. Take it with you, as long as you're by my side and take good care of me, okay?"

"Well, definitely. ”

The ghost envoy nodded abadly, and Ning Yue hung the sheathed long sword on his waist, the weight was not heavy, but it made him feel that the steps he took after him were a little hard. In my heart, it seems to be a little heavier.

Shizun once taught him that swords are not used to kill, but to guard. As for what the target of the protection is, it is up to him to find out for himself.

Perhaps, now he vaguely understood.

By the time I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was already dark.

Today is the end of the day, Yuan Jingsi looked back and smiled at the moment of separation, "Take good care of the sword I gave you." ”

"Definitely. ”

Ning Yue Zhengse replied, raised his hand and stroked the cold hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and had already sworn in his heart.

The sword is there, and the person is there, and it is bound to ensure that Yuan Jing is thoughtful.

When he returned to his hut, he called out a few times, and the bag in his hand was a barbecue with sauce that he had bought in the afternoon, ready to prepare one for the little wolf. It's just that, for some reason, there was no voice to answer him for a long time.

"It's strange, although the little wolf occasionally runs around, but there is no reason why he doesn't come back? Probably, he is hungry and looks for something to eat, right? Maybe, he will come back later. ”

Half-convinced of his conjecture, he sat cross-legged on the bed, his palms knotted into a knot, and the slowly surging aura flowed through the meridians of his arms in his body, and the faint soreness of holding things for a long time before disappeared a little.

Time passed unconsciously, and as Ning Yue's windless clothes fell back into motion, he finally opened his eyes and shook his head.

"It's still a little worse, I can't find the original feeling. ”

While talking to himself, he turned his head to look, and suddenly he was startled, and it was still missing from the small bed prepared for the little wolf.

"In the end...... Where's the run? Could it be that Jingsi's side?"

When he pushed the door out, he realized that it was already late at night. At this time, it doesn't seem like a good thing to visit the eldest lady, right?

However, he still involuntarily took a step forward and walked slowly.

The night was very quiet, even a little scary.

A faint chill churned in his heart, Ning Yue subconsciously looked back, except for the shaking shadow of the tree, there was nothing in his heart.

It felt a little similar to the afternoon, but it was more intense.

Seem...... Something bad is about to happen?

Night, still so quiet.

Under the starry sky, several figures of different heights stood on the eaves, and the leader looked down at the city lord's mansion below, which was still brightly lit in the night, and smiled coldly, and the scarlet robe hunted and agitated in the wind.

"Red wolf, start hunting!"
