Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jing Shizi
Chu Yunxi followed behind Xiaobei, walked through the long wooden corridor, and came to a pond, the pond is not big, the pond has lotus flowers, now is not the season for lotus flowers to bloom, only lotus leaves can be seen.
There was a not too big house by the pond, and the cold wind brought Chu Zimo into the house.
There is not much furniture in the room, a square table, a few chairs, and a whole row of bookshelves on the wall, giving the whole room a very elegant feeling.
As soon as Chu Yunxi sat down, a maidservant brought tea and snacks.
Chu Yunxi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the tea was fragrant and elegant.
The surrounding environment made Chu Zimo's mood very comfortable and happy.
While waiting for the night scene to come, Chu Zimo walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book to look through.
The wind gently blew Chu Yunxi's hair in front of his forehead, and such a picture was like a painting.
Seeing that Chu Zimo was looking serious, Ye Youjing didn't make a sound, he slowly walked to the chair next to Chu Yunxi and sat down.
It feels quite good to have such a leisurely time and night scene.
Ye Youfu supported her cheek with one hand, looking at the girl who was reading the book intently, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a beautiful arc.
At this moment, Chu Yunxi was completely attracted by the book in his hand, and he didn't notice that Ye Youfu was sitting not far from her.
About an hour passed, Chu Yunxi felt that his waist was a little sore, and he planned to get up and move.
As soon as she stood up and found a person sitting on the chair next to her, Chu Yunxi was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
"You...... When did you come? ”
"I've been here for a while, and I didn't call you when I saw that you were looking serious."
He looked at her with burning eyes, and Chu Yunxi's little face couldn't help but blush when he was seen by the somewhat scorching gaze of the night scene.
Chu Yunxi turned to the side; "So let's get started!"
Seeing Chu Yunxi avoiding his gaze, the eyes that were as dark as ink in the night scene, like a dusty black pearl, lost their luster, and soon returned to normal.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, she was so focused on reading that she forgot the hour, and the time for lunch had passed.
Chu Yunxi nodded a little embarrassed.
"Well, sort of."
"Xiaobei, bring the food."
"Yes, Shizi."
While waiting for the food to be served, Chu Yunxi could feel the night scene looking at him from time to time.
"Jing Shizi, do you have anything to tell me?"
Ye Youjing put down the teacup in his hand, and his beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Chu Yunxi, his voice was like a beautiful note played by the strings.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you remember your promise to me when you were a child?"
His gaze burned, and Chu Yunxi knew that he couldn't dodge.
The promise of childhood, Chu Yunxi could only think of that one thing.
When she was four years old, a banquet was held in the Dewang Mansion, and the fourth brother took her to participate in the banquet held in the Dewang Mansion.
Chu Yunxi, the huge Dewang Mansion, didn't know where he was, and unconsciously Chu Yunxi walked to a lake, the lake is not big, and there is a small pavilion in the middle of the lake at a glance, and there is a wooden corridor connecting the pavilion in the center of the lake and the shore.
You can still vaguely see a person sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Chu Yunxi hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to ask for directions.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake sat a boy about seven or eight years old, with seriousness written on his elegant face, looking at the chessboard in front of him.
"Please...... Excuse me......"
Chu Yunxi was very nervous, it was the first time she had spoken to someone other than her family when she was so big, and her hands were clenched into fists.
The boy slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Yunxi with beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"What's the matter?"
There was a hint of impatience in the boy's voice.
"I ...... I ......" Chu Yunxi was so nervous that he couldn't even speak, his small fist was placed on his chest, and his head was very low.
"Lost?"
The boy's eyebrows moved slightly, and his voice was cold.
Chu Yunxi stepped back a little frightened, swallowed his saliva, and nodded pretending to be bold; "Hmm!"
The boy's eyes seemed to be crossed with helplessness.
"I'm here to attend a banquet held at the Dewang Mansion."
The little girl before meeting kept staring at herself, raising her eyebrows and a shallow smile at the corners of her lips.
"This is my private place, and there is no second person except me without my permission, and you can't walk from here to the banquet hall without me."
Chu Yunxi raised her eyes to look at the night scene in disbelief, although she was four years old, she was very smart, except for the night scene along the way, she really hadn't seen anyone else, let alone the people who came to the banquet, but she didn't even see a single person.
"You...... You...... Can you really take me to the banquet? ”
"Well, but you want to promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
"You promise me to be my bride when I grow up, and I will take you to the banquet site."
For four-year-old Chu Yunxi, she didn't know what it meant to be his bride in the mouth of the night scene.
In Chu Yunxi's impression, the brides are very beautiful, and the young Chu Yunxi really thinks that he is praising her beauty.
Chu Yunxi blinked her beautiful big eyes; "Okay, I'll be your bride when I grow up."
The night scene was still a little childish, and a wicked smile was hooked on his face.
Chu Yunxi didn't care too much about this matter, it was just a joke in her heart.
"I remember, but it was just a joke from my childhood! I was too young to know what you meant by letting me be your bride. ”
The night scene is as dark as the peach blossom eyes of ink, which become deep and reflect the cold light.
Chu Zimo felt that the temperature of the air around him had dropped by a few degrees.
Su Wan had a long and terrible dream in her sleep.
In her dream, she was in the middle of a forest that covered the sky
There is a towering tree, the trunk of which is more than ten meters high, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant.
A pair of beastly eyes stared at her.
And she's fighting a wolf.
An hour passed, and the ground was full of wolf corpses, Su Wan gasped for breath, and beads of sweat kept sliding down her forehead.
She glanced in the direction of the big tree in the center, and the wolves here had almost been killed by her.
After finishing off the last few wolves, Su Wan headed towards the big tree in the center.
Along the way, Su Wan saw a lot of wolf corpses.
The pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of wolves, Su Wan couldn't help frowning, she felt a flutter in her stomach, it was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene.
Disgusting to disgusting, Su Wan endured the nausea and continued to walk towards the towering tree.
When she was still more than a hundred meters away from the big tree in the center, Su Wan heard a roar like a wolf howl, which seemed to be able to perforate the eardrum, and Chu Zimo couldn't help but cover her ears with her hands.
Su Wan looked around vigilantly, and she could feel the earth as if it were trembling.
Not good!
Su Wan felt bad in her heart.
Su Wan didn't mean to stop, and continued to go to the big tree in the center.
Stopping now will only become food for the wolves, and run as far as you can while you still have the stamina.
Su Wan gently landed on the branch of the big tree in the center and lowered her head. Under the trees, as on the road, there were many wolf carcasses.
A behemoth came out from behind a tree not far ahead.
It was a monster that was more than two meters tall, resembling a wolf, and had two large fangs.
The wolf-like monster stared at Su Wan standing on the tree with a pair of blood-red eyes, and kept letting out a low roar from his mouth.
Su Wan glanced at the distance between the trees, with her current situation, it was impossible for her to outrun this monster like a wolf, not to mention that her physical strength was almost exhausted now, and her body was more or less injured.
Although this wolf-like monster is huge, it can get here so quickly in such a dense forest, which shows that its speed is very fast.
It's almost impossible to escape, and there's only one way, and that's to fight it.
Su Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't have the confidence to beat the wolf-like monster in front of her, but she didn't want to die here yet.
Su Wan sat on the branch, put the sword in her hand aside, closed it, and concentrated all her attention.
The jumping power under the tree is also very good, and the most capable of jumping more than four meters high in one jump, fortunately, the big tree in the center of the monster like a wolf is more than ten meters high, and the branch where Chu Zimo is located is also seven or eight meters high from the ground.
This gave Su Wan more time to concentrate on herself.
The wolf-like monster turned around the tree a few times, and found that it couldn't reach Su Wan on the tree at all, it sat on the ground, its scarlet eyes staring at Su Wan who was motionless on the tree.
After about a quarter of an hour, Su Wan suddenly opened her eyes, and the sword placed beside her was like an arrow shot out, and it flew towards the back of the wolf-like monster.
A wailing sound pierced the sky, and countless birds scattered in all directions.
Su Wan withdrew her sword and looked coldly at the wolf-like monster under the tree that writhed in pain.
Damn, I didn't expect the skin of this wolf-like monster to be so hard, and a sword that went down only injured it, but did not penetrate it.
Su Wan clenched her back molars tightly, her eyes narrowing slightly.
It seems that his concentration is not enough, and it should be impossible to make a surprise attack like this one, and it seems that he can only attack head-on.
The sword kept stabbing towards the demon beast, and it could only hit once in ten hits.
Su Wan still didn't give up, as the wounds on the wolf-like monster's body increased, its speed also began to slow down, and almost half of the ten swords that Su Wan stabbed could pierce the body of the demon beast.
Su Wan felt that her realization was beginning to become a little blurry, she withdrew the sword into her hand, at this moment Su Wan's eyes were like a calm lake, there was no wave at all, and her hand holding the sword slowly tightened.
After trembling with the wolf-like monster, Su Wan found that although the wolf-like monster had a very thick skin, every time the sword went down, it only injured it and was not fatal, but Su Wan found that there was a place where her sword had never been stabbed.
That was the place where the wolf-like monster's neck was, and Su Wan was sure that the weakness of the wolf-like monster was its neck.
