Chapter 43: Death Returns
When Lao Tan woke up, it was already dawn, he sat up from the dew-stained grass, looked at his hands in a daze for a moment before coming back to his senses.
"Are you awake?"
There was a beautiful voice in his ears, Lao Tan looked up, and just met Xiao Qingyan's beautiful face, which was dazzling in the early morning sun, like a dream, and a little unreal.
Finally removed from her face, Lao Tan's gaze fell not far away, only to see a headless corpse lying on the ground, next to it, the head belonging to Tian Fuling fell quietly where it was, and under the messy hair, there was still an unbelievable expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Lao Tan had a rough idea in his heart, and slowly stood up and hugged his fist to Xiao Qingyan and said, "Thank you Second Miss for saving your life." ”
Xiao Qingyan originally just turned her face sideways, but when she heard Lao Tan's words, she turned slightly and looked over and said, "You don't have to thank you, the person who really saved you is yourself, if you hadn't managed to attract all the attention of that mayfly remnant, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily." ”
Lao Tan only noticed at this time that Xiao Qingyan had several wounds on his body, and his originally neat clothes also had several gaps, revealing his fair skin.
It seems that in the previous battle with Tian Fuling, although Xiao Qingyan did not lose his life, at least he suffered a lot of losses and was injured, if it weren't for the unexpected power of Lao Tan's Guiyuan Sword Formation, which caused Tian Fuling to be injured and lose his mind, Xiao Qingyan would not have been so easy to sneak attack.
But the polite words still have to be said, the other party is also the second lady of the Xiao family, the proud daughter of the sky, and she still has the recommendation quota that Lao Tan has always wanted, and it is too late to tie the knot.
The only pity is that Tian Fuling did not die in his own hands after all, Lao Tan secretly opened the system menu, and there was no kill record on it, indicating that Tian Fuling died in Xiao Qingyan's hands in the end.
Now, Tian Fuling's corpse is not far away, and Lao Tan is about to think about how to use to take Xiao Qingyan away, so that the gluttony can find an opportunity to eat Tian Fuling's corpse, but at this time, an unexpected thing happened.
I saw that Xiao Qingyan walked in front of Tian Fuling's corpse at some point, and as soon as he reached out and touched it, Tian Fuling's corpse turned into a pile of black sand and disappeared with the wind without warning.
Such a strange scene, not to mention Xiao Qingyan himself, even Lao Tan was taken aback.
"The mayfly remnants are as mysterious as the rumors, and the process of this corpse decay is really incredible." Looking at the black sand floating into the air, Xiao Qingyan muttered to himself.
Lao Tan felt that the other party's words seemed to be saying to himself, and hurriedly pretended to be stupid and asked, "Mayfly Relic Clan?" What is that? ”
Xiao Qingyan turned to look at Lao Tan, and said expressionlessly, "You really don't know?" ”
Lao Tan pretended to have a panicked expression and said, "Second Miss, villain...... I don't understand what you mean. ”
Xiao Qingyan's cold face did not change a trace of expression, her beautiful eyes stared at Lao Tan tightly, and said for a while: "These mayfly remnants suddenly attacked our Xiao family in Yanmen Mountain at night, and the person they are looking for is you, you actually can't understand what I mean?" ”
Facing Xiao Qingyan's aggressive gaze, Lao Tan felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a sharp blade, and he almost subconsciously wanted to avoid the other party's gaze, but soon, Lao Tan wanted to understand that this woman was testing herself, so she settled down, met the other party's gaze without fear, and said: "Second Miss, the villain swears by the sky, the villain really doesn't know these people, and he doesn't know what the mayfly relics are. ”
His identity as a player must not be known to Xiao Qingyan, otherwise, Lao Tan will not only not be able to continue to stay in the Xiao family, but will also lose the recommendation quota that he finally obtained, and may even be thought by Xiao Qingyan that he is in a group with Tian Fuling, and if he doesn't do it, he will even cause death.
Xiao Qingyan looked at Lao Tan with burning eyes, and only retracted his gaze for a long time and said: "To be honest, I don't want to doubt you if I can, after all, I can see that you are a manufacturable material, not only in the performance of the mountain gate Xiaobi, but also in the face of a foundation building period monk whose strength is much stronger than yourself just now, you can actually release such a powerful sword array to kill the other party, this alone, is not something that ordinary people can do." ”
didn't expect to suddenly get Xiao Qingyan's favor, Lao Tan knew that there was a play, and hurriedly put on a flattered expression and said: "The second miss is too much of a villain, if it weren't for the second miss who hit the other party hard, how could she defeat the monk in the foundation building period with the villain's slight strength, and besides, it was the second miss who killed the woman in the end, and the second miss also saved the villain." ”
Xiao Qingyan has been secretly observing the changes in the expression on Lao Tan's face, and finally determined that Lao Tan is not lying for a long time, so he nodded and said: "Okay, flattery is exempt, although there is no evidence to prove whether what you said is true or false, but I will believe you first, and when you go back to the Xiao family with me later, you can explain it to my father well." ”
"Yes, Second Miss."
Xiao Qingyan said, as soon as she raised her hand, a red ling flew out of her sleeve, and the red ling spun around in the sky, and then slowly stopped in front of her.
"Come up."
Lao Tan only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly bloomed, and when he reacted, the person had been thrown onto Hongling by Xiao Qingyan, feeling as if he was stepping on a ball of soft fabric, and before he could feel it carefully, Hongling flew the two of them into the air.
The second time he was flying with the imperial object, it was different from when he was tied up by Tian Fuling with a golden rope just now, this time, Lao Tan was sitting on Xiao Qingyan's red rhombic weapon.
Xiao Qingyan's Hongling flew extremely fast, and under her drive, Hongling was wrapped in red aura, and from a distance, it looked like a red cloud, quickly passing through the sky.
At first, he was indeed shocked, but after Lao Tan sat down, he could finally enjoy this unrestrained flying experience boldly. If it weren't for Xiao Qingyan standing somewhere in front of him controlling Hongling, he might not be able to help but spread his arms and shout.
……
On the other hand, in a forest dozens of kilometers away from Chiyan City, five black-clothed people arrived here one after another to converge.
"You're too late." Duan Kong frowned and said to Ah Kuan, who was late in the end.
"I'm sorry, I was chased by a couple of guys surnamed Xiao for a night, and it took me a while to get rid of them." Ah Kuan shrugged and grinned.
"It's finally time for everyone to go, we should go back." Ma Dayuan said with a smile.
"Isn't Fu Ling still here? We don't have to wait for her? Hua Yan asked lightly.
"Don't wait, that guy from Duankong asked Sister Fuling to leave with that newcomer, according to this hour, she has probably returned to the Confucianism Blessed Land." Ah Kuan said.
Duan Kong also nodded, and then said, "Fu Ling and that newcomer have probably gone back, and we don't want to spend too much time here in Chiyan City, let's go." ”
"Wait."
They were about to leave, but at this moment, Yan Rui, who had rarely spoken, suddenly stopped Duan Kong, and Duan Kong and the others looked back at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Yan Rui said in a hoarse voice: "You don't have to go back to the Confucianism Blessed Land, I contacted Fu Ling in a private chat just now, and she went back, yes, but she ...... It's dead back. ”
