"Look, it's snowing!"

While talking and laughing, Han Qingluo looked out the window and saw snowflakes beginning to fall in the night sky, and shouted excitedly to everyone.

Everyone followed her gaze, and the dim candlelight outside the house reflected the snowflakes softly and beautifully, spinning and flying like elves.

"Why don't we take advantage of the fun and go out for a night tour!"

Yuke is also very interested, and wants to reminisce about the taste of Christmas Eve seven years ago.

The old people in the Night Castle nodded in agreement, and the newcomer Galo was also looking forward to it.

So, they put on their oil lamps, took a bottle or two of wine, and walked out of the house, intending to stroll around the wide lawn.

Taking a sip of fruity wine, Han Qingluo's slightly drunken face became even redder under the cold wind.

She held Jue and strolled on the grass covered with a thin layer of snow.

Closing his eyes, raising his head, letting the snowflakes pounce on his cheeks, such a rare tranquility made the mood very comfortable, Han Qingluo couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "It's so good!" ”

Looking at her red cheeks, Jue was also very relaxed and happy because of her comfortable expression, although the local environment has changed, but the people around her are still there.

"The meaning of this sentence, I can understand it, is it good to have me by your side?"

Rarely in a relaxed mood, Jue chuckled and joked with Han Qingluo.

This sudden narcissism made Han Qingluo laugh, and his slightly drunken eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile: "That's right, my dear Mr. Jue." ”

"You're really going to cheer!"

Jue chuckled, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to wrap her arms, and lowered her head to drop a kiss on her forehead, like snowflakes falling, cold and soft.

Han Qingluo subconsciously lowered his eyes, and in the rest of his gaze, it was Jue's sexy and smooth neck, which opened his mouth in a ghostly manner, stood on tiptoe, and bit it......

Jue's pupils trembled, and he hugged Han Qingluo's arms and shook them, but he didn't interrupt them, waiting for the actions of the person in his arms to end.

After only a while, the warm bite moved away from the neck in the blink of an eye, and Jue looked at Han Qingluo, who was also at a loss, suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Han Qingluo was stunned, raised his hand to cover his lips, shook his head as if in answer, and did not speak.

Jue Waner smiled and reached out to sweep away the snowflakes from her hair: "Let's go back, the snow is heavy." ”

"Hmm!"

Han Qingluo's eyes couldn't hide his tiredness, and he nodded lightly.

"Huh! Come and play! ”

At this time, Yuke, who was far away, shouted loudly to the two of them, and at this time, a bonfire had been lit in front of them.

On the way, Han Qingluo felt embarrassed in his heart, thinking to himself what he had just done, which tendon was wrong, could it be that after being with the blood clan for a long time, he would still fantasize that he was a blood clan and try the feeling of sucking blood?

Her heart was churning and complicated, on this side, Jue was also in a complicated mood, was Han Qingluo's desire to become a blood clan already so strong? What choice will she make in the future?

Around the bonfire, a group of friends who have experienced a lot of life and death began to talk freely, sip wine, and tell stories, so comfortable.

"Now if only I had a piece of music!"

At this point, Galorio spoke with some regret.

This sound instantly lowered the originally high atmosphere, and there was silence around the originally lively bonfire.

"What's wrong?"

Galo looked at everyone blankly and said loudly.

At this time, Kim was about to lean into his ear to explain, but Yuke suddenly interrupted: "It's okay, Kim, it's not something unspeakable. ”

He took a sip of wine, handed it to Rensen, and said, "Seven years ago on Christmas Eve, in the same scene, at that time, the music around the campfire was played by my brother Yuf, who was best at the recorder, but he never had the chance to play it again. ”

With that, Yuke smiled bitterly, took the wine from Rensen's hand again, and raised his head to take a sip.

Beside him, Rensen also remembered Hunter, who had died for him, and the two tall males began to drink each other.

"This wine is not strong at all, is there any distilled spirit?"

Drinking the wine in the bottle, Yuke shook the bottle upside down and sighed.

"There seems to be one in the wine cellar of the manor, I'll go get it!"

Galo felt guilty, but he didn't expect to mess up the atmosphere with an unintentional sentence, and took the initiative to get up and run errands.

"Yes, I'll take a look, let's go, Rensen, you too!"

Yuke feigned ease and pulled up Rensen, ready to go back to the manor with Galo.

Seeing that, everyone lost interest, and the rest of the people also stood up and suggested going back to the manor.

A rising night tour ended unhappily.

It was late at night.

Han Qingluo, accompanied by Jue, returned to his room.

Han Qingluo, who was supposed to rest directly, retained Jue, who was about to leave, under the influence of alcohol.

"Can you stay and talk to me for a while?"

"Okay."

……

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Han Qingluo pondered for a while, looked at Jue who was waiting on the side, and a slightly lazy voice sounded: "I want to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter?"

“…… I want to be with you. ”

“……”

As soon as Han Qingluo's words fell, Jue lowered his eyes and fell silent, he sighed slightly, raised his eyes and stared at her seriously: "Luo, I think this problem, we solved it a long time ago, but now it seems that it doesn't seem to be, everything is back to square one." ”

"So......" Han Qingluo tried to suppress the loss in his heart, "you don't agree?" ”

Before Jue could respond, Han Qingluo grinned and took the initiative to change the topic: "Oh, speaking of which, I don't know what happened to you in Venice, can you tell me, I'm still curious." ”

"Absolutely!"

Jue's serious expression finally eased a little, and the curvature of the corners of his lips made Han Qingluo breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Listening to Jue's narration, Han Qingluo learned that on Christmas Eve, they were in Venice and fought against the demons, and nine of the ten holy weapons kept in the underground secret room were taken away, and the remaining one was on Jue's body and kept it personally.

He said lightly, as if that night was fine, but Han Qingluo understood that with so many deployments, the demons could still succeed, and how difficult the battle was that night.

Thinking that he was selfishly persecuting Jue just now, he couldn't bear it, so he reached out and hugged Jue and said "I'm sorry".

"Luo, no need to apologize, I just want you to be safe and not to be hurt unnecessarily, you know?"

Jue responded to her hug movingly, and said helplessly and dotingly.

"Understood...... I won't mention it next time. ”

Han Qingluo nodded obediently, her tone was full of grievances, thinking about Jue's serious face just now, she was really afraid that he would be angry.

"Can I see what the Soul Ring looks like, then?"

She looked up and looked at Jue expectantly.

"Of course you can!"

Jue smiled, took out the square scarf from his arms, and put the soul ring wrapped in it in front of Han Qingluo.

"The soul ring can control the consciousness of people and blood clans, the soul on the ring is evil, wearing it can not only control the minds of others, but the wearer will also be affected by the ring itself, which is easy to trigger the evil desire in the heart."

Listening to Jue's explanation, Han Qingluo carefully looked at the ring in his hand, and saw that the soul ring was no different from other ordinary rings, and there was a purple diamond-shaped gem inlaid in the center, which did not seem to be as exquisite and gorgeous as he imagined.

Suddenly, she stared at the ring for a moment, as if she noticed something unusual.

"What's wrong with you?"

Jue asked.

Han Qingluo shook his head and continued to look at the ring: "This ring, there is nothing unusual, it's very ordinary!" ”

With that, she looked away, as if she had lost interest in the soul ring.

"Also, this soul ring is very ordinary, but it's best not to touch it."

Jue responded in agreement, wrapped the soul ring in the square towel again, and put it back in his arms.

This conversation quickly aroused Han Qingluo's sleepiness, she yawned and got up from Jue's arms: "Thank you for accompanying me, go back and rest, I also sleep, good night!" ”

"Good night!"

Jue tucked the corners of the quilt for her, kissed her forehead, and got up and left the room.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Han Qingluo, who was originally lying on the bed with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and the phrase "put me on" kept echoing in his mind.

She could be sure that she was not hallucinating, and that call made her yearn, but reason made her avoid it.

Was it the ring that seduced her?

Thinking about Jue's previous explanation, the only explanation she could think of was this.

Fortunately, just now, he didn't have the impulse to wear the ring, otherwise, what would he think if Jue found out that he was a person with "evil thoughts"?

After a period of cranky thinking, Han Qingluo still couldn't resist the thick sleepiness and fell into a dream......

"Whew~"

The sound of the wind swept past his ears, making Han Qingluo open his eyes.

She stood up, and it was dark all around, except for the faint light between the square inches she was.

Just when she was confused, around the darkness, a voice loomed, echoing in her ears: "Put me on, I can give you infinite strength!" ”

"Who is it?"

Hearing its sound but not seeing its shape, Han Qingluo twisted his head vigilantly, and at some point in the hand he raised, a sharp dagger appeared.

Suddenly, in the dark hanging place in front of him, there was a gentle purple light, and a ring floated inside.

"Soul Ring!"

Han Qingluo subconsciously spoke.

"Clever, my sweet little girl!" The voice smiled, and then continued to seduce, "Come on, wear it, put it on, and you can have infinite power!" ”

Staring at the soul ring that glowed with purple light, and the whispers that constantly tempted his mind in his ears, Han Qingluo was actually fascinated by his mind, and the ghost reached out in a daze......

But at the next second when her hand was about to touch the soul ring, it seemed that reason had the upper hand, she suddenly withdrew her hand, looked at the darkness around her, panting, as if suppressing her desire, suppressing it very painfully: "No way, I won't be bewitched by you!" ”

"Hehehehehehe......"

The voice was mixed with mockery, constantly echoing in his ears, Han Qingluo was oppressed by this laughter and panicked, and began to run away in the darkness where he couldn't see the road ahead.

But the voice followed her, and no matter how much she ran, she couldn't get rid of it, and finally she was so tired that she sat down on the ground.

But after a while, in front of her eyes, the soul ring glowing with faint purple light appeared again, and the temptation voice sounded again: "Come on, wear it, have power, you can change the future, protect everything, control everything!" ”

"Guarding everything?"

Han Qingluo looked at the soul ring and muttered and repeated, but in the end, he couldn't resist the desire in his heart and stretched out his hand to the soul ring......

After putting her index finger on the ring, a curtain of light seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and a stream of light and shadow flickered in front of her eyes, and she seemed to see the future......

With a soul ring, she fought side by side with Jue on a ruin......

With her power, she single-handedly eliminated the Holy King and saved the whole world......

She became a hero, standing on the top of the mountain and accepting the worship of everyone......

"Is this my future?"

She opened her mouth in a daze, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's what you do with the Soul Ring......"

The bewitching voice sounded again.

"Knock knock!"

An abrupt knocking sound sounded, Han Qingluo subconsciously turned his head, and the darkness around him disappeared completely in an instant......
