3. The second girl is undefeated
In the summer of the coastal city, the weather is casually like the face of a goddess, and in the evening it is still as hot as an oven, and after it is completely dark, it is drizzling.
Chen Li held his chin in his hand and looked at the rain curtain sadly. The street lamps in the old street are a little dim, and in the lights, the crystal rain falls, swaying slightly with the breeze, and falls in front of the store like waves. Well, no one will come in the first place, but now no one will come at all. Thinking about whether it should be closed, there is no one anyway, but it seems that there is nothing to do when it is closed. Thinking like this, I don't know why I am even more sad.
Entering retirement early, I suddenly lost my goal in life, and I felt overwhelmed by time. Changed to keep one hand on his chin, and the other hand casually tapping on the tabletop, how did you get here before? It seems that it's not cultivating.,It's fighting monsters.,It's not cutting people.,It's on the way to cut people.。。 How did you live a long time ago, when you were still a mortal?
I forgot, after all, it was a long, long time ago. A faint dull thunder sounded, pulling Chen Li back from his distant memories, and yawned, or else, find something to do to pass the time?
Thoughts diverged at will, and when the twenty-twenty-two thousand and thirty-fourth drops of rain fell in front of the door, there was a panicked footstep at the corner of the street, and the raindrops hit the cloak and slid down the texture to the end, and the corners of the clothes that were blown up by the wind were thrown out, and the sound of dripping and stepping in a puddle of water was mixed, and there was a slight pant in it.
Chen Li straightened his waist slightly, and only his own store door was open in the entire alley, customers? It doesn't sound like it. Without him having to think about it, the man had already run to the door of the store, hesitated slightly, and stepped into the range of the street lamp.
It was a girl in a red cloak, with a long soft black straight in the hood, a forehead guard on her forehead, covered by bangs, only a faint metallic luster, a white jade-like little face with a little baby fat, a pair of pure eyes like black pearls, like a fawn, glanced at the store, and then glanced at the sign, as if she had determined something, her pink lips pursed, and she pushed open the door of the store, the wind and rain swept her cloak, outlining a graceful curve, and in the dull thunder, she said firmly: " Retired hero, can your blood still burn?! ”
"What?" Chen Li was stunned for a moment. In the timeline of the earth, he has only been away for two months, has the world changed so much in such a short time? Do you say hello to each other when you eat? No wonder there are no people in the store.
"I am the Immortal, the Scarlet Rose, the Lord of the True Dragon, the Queen of Hell, the Demon Heavenly Demon, the White Flower True Immortal, the Void Alchemist, and the Moon Snow, I am going to recruit you now, I have been invincible, and I have conquered all heroes!" The girl said with a serious face. It's just that my body is a little trembling, I don't know if it's because of the rain or the thunder that is getting louder and louder.
"I can't remember, let's be short, be direct." The corners of Chen Li's mouth twitched, and he sensed it seriously, this mortal in front of him, who was definitely a scumbag of war, couldn't even kill a chicken, could still say these shameful words seriously.
"I need your help, there's an evil witch hunting me." The girl said solemnly.
"The Wicked Witch is hunting you? I think you should call the police at this time. This answer is perfect, Chen Li is a little proud, this is the standard answer of mortals, how bad it is to fight and kill, if you are in trouble, you should find a police uncle.
"No mortal can understand our world." The girl looked behind her a little nervously, gritted her teeth and trotted in, "I need your help, hero!" ”
"I'm not a hero." Chen Li thought about it, but still declined.
"But isn't the name of your store a retired hero?" The girl looked at Chen Li with blazing eyes.
Chen Li was speechless for a while, and when the girl agreed, she trotted around the counter and hid in an invisible corner of the store door.
Scratching his head, Chen Li was thinking about how mortals would react to this matter, when there was another firm step at the entrance of the alley, he glanced at the girl who was hiding behind the counter and shivering, sighed slightly, and nodded to a few elemental creatures watching the play next to him, the breeze blew, and the water stains on the ground disappeared in an instant.
The footsteps were approaching, a grease cloth umbrella with a wooden handle, a long black skirt, and a girl's similar appearance, but she was more mature and indifferent, floating in the drizzle, pausing slightly at the door of the store, casting a cold look under the black-framed glasses, sweeping over Chen Li, who looked innocent, stayed on the clean floor for a moment, retracted, and floated away again. The breeze fluttered a strand of her hair, her long skirt fluttered, and her delicate face disappeared from the other side of the store.
"Is the witch gone?" In the small shop, a human head appeared at the corner of the counter, looked out vigilantly, looked at Chen Li, and asked.
"If you're talking about a girl who looks like you, then yes, she's just walked past." Chen Li shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Oh ha! You don't want to catch me, wicked witch! The girl immediately smiled, jumped up, and said shyly, then nodded towards Chen Li, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, hero, I appreciate your ability, let's be partners!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested, I don't even know your name." Chen Li decisively refused.
"Huh? Didn't I just say that? I am the Undead Scarlet. ”
"Simple, what do other mortals call you?" Chen Li immediately interrupted her chanting and said resolutely.
"That. . . Just call me Xueyue Zhenren. The girl insisted, just unwilling to say her name, and added, as if explaining: "That,The real name can't be told to others casually.。。 ”
"Okay, okay." Chen Li nodded, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said, "Sit down, tell me to leave, as you can see, I'm a restaurant here, what should I eat?" The one on your body should be wet, take it off, and I'll get you a cup of ginger tea to warm up. "This reaction must be very mortal.
"No! This is my mage robe, with my alchemy array engraved on it, and the witch will find me when you take it off! ”
Chen Li swore that it was definitely just an ordinary rainproof cloak. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this is my safe house, and there are countless defensive formations constantly, and you will never be discovered here." ”
"Oooh." The girl nodded seriously, obediently untied her cloak, wearing a cowhide vest like leather armor, noticing Chen Li's gaze, the girl explained: "This is a dragon skin vest, I am a mage, in order to prevent being attacked by the evil witch's servants, it is reasonable to wear this!" ”
"Oh. Fair and reasonable. "But that's just faux leather. I didn't dare to say this, nodded, took the cloak that the girl put on the table, and said, "I'll help you dry it." The clothes inside are okay, right? ”
"Uh-huh! My mage robe has a constant water-repellent formation, so it's not attacked by witches' magic at all. The girl nodded, sat on the stool, looked at Chen Li with blazing eyes, and said, "Unexpectedly, there is a hero living in seclusion here, and I didn't find you, you must be very strong!" ”
"It's okay." Chen Li took out a rolling pin from the cabinet, hung the cloak to dry, and said casually. I've roughly figured out this girl's thinking pattern.,This is probably the legendary middle two, right? Tsk, I miss it. "Is ginger tea sweetened?"
"Please add some potion to neutralize the substance." The girl said seriously, "Hero Lao Li, can I recruit you to fight for me?" ”
"No, I'm already retired."
"However, the evil witch is still threatening the peace of the world, mortals are still suffering, and your mission is not yet complete!"
"I'm sorry, that's your mission. Okay, ginger tea, put some brown sugar. Chen Li put the tea bowl in front of the girl and said, "It will be slower, you just got caught in the rain and took off your coat, so I will brew it directly." ”
"Thank you." The girl politely bowed slightly in thanks, and whispered, "But, I can't beat the witch. ”
"Are you afraid?" Chen Li smiled and said.
"Nope! I am undefeated! It is my enemies who should be feared! The girl immediately sat upright, pursed her lips, and said firmly.
"Wouldn't that be nice."
"Yay? When did a restaurant open here? While the two were talking, there was a white and tender little fat man outside the store, the clothes on his body were a little old, and when he saw the two people inside, he smiled in surprise and said, "Ah, you are here, Yuexue." ”
