Chapter XXV

In the middle of the night, Lihong finally woke up. Ding Ruoyu was still in a dream, half lying on the edge of the stone bed, frowning deeply. He got up as little as he could to disturb her, and walked out of the stone chamber quietly.

"You instructed her to untie the chain?" He stared at the dragon, his originally dark pupils turned blood-red in an instant, and long fangs stretched out from the corners of his mouth.

Tianlong looked at his demon alien with a complicated expression, and only said: "That little girl is too good-hearted, you must not bear her." ”

Lihong's head was weirdly tilted, and there was a strange "click" sound, and it instantly returned to its original state.

Ding Ruoyu walked out at some point.

In front of Tianlong, Li Hong suddenly pulled her to his side and asked, "If I can promise you three conditions, how will you choose?" ”

"I want to ......," she thought.

"Let go of Mr. Tianlong, this is the first one." She guessed that the other party was mostly joking on a whim, and she no longer had any scruples, "Second, don't embarrass Feiqiong anymore." ”

"Okay, I'll say yes." Li Hong was more serious, and asked her again, "What about the third one?" ”

"I haven't thought about it......," Ding Ruoyu wondered, "Can you save it for the future?" ”

"Okay." Li Hong laughed softly, his face was handsome, and his expression was so gentle that it made people panic.

Ding Ruoyu looked at him and was stunned for a long time.

When did he become so talkative?

Li Hong's finger flicked the iron lock on Tianlong's body, approached him and whispered: "I don't have much mana right now, it's not enough to break the seal, and I need to wronged you for a while." ”

Tianlong was surprised: "Are you really going to let me go?" ”

"I promised her." Li Hong turned around, picked up Ding Ruoyu and walked towards the stone room, no longer paying attention to him.

It's not the first time he's been held, but this time, when Fang touched his hand, Ding Ruoyu felt like his heart was skipping a beat.

She was pulled to the edge of the stone bed, and as soon as she sat down, she heard him ask, "Do you believe the man's nonsense?" ”

Ding Ruoyu nodded his head.

"What did you hear?" Li Hong held her hand and didn't let go.

"He said you were ...... Monsters of the Demon Race. Ding Ruoyu glanced at him cautiously.

"Monster!" Li Hong pinched her chin, stared at her eyes and smiled, "Are you afraid?" ”

"Lihong......" she called suddenly.

There seemed to be something imprisoned in Lihong's heart, and when he heard the name, those shackles instantly shattered.

He leaned over and buried his face in her shoulder socket, his arms clasped around her tiny body.

"You've lost your value." He said a vague word, let go of her again, looked at her and said, "I won't use you for anything again......"

Ding Ruoyu didn't know why. Ever since he woke up, he had been strange, as if he had changed.

Before the change, she would have thought that people who were of no use to him were always dead.

But at this moment......

She could feel that he had treated her as his equal.

Her lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

"After I get out of here, I'll send you back to Ding's house." He said lightly, as if he had changed back to the cold, noble, and unprosperous great power teacher.

Ding Ruoyu grabbed his released palm and shook his head.

"You don't want to go home?" Li Hong was a little surprised.

"I follow you, I want to be stronger." She made up her mind, her voice soft and her expression resolute.

Originally, the Ding family couldn't find a place for her, she couldn't become strong, and it was in vain to go back. The Ding family never needed to be cumbersome.

Li Hong smiled softly. His clothes were already in tatters, but his bearing still had the calmness of being in a high position.

Ding Ruoyu's gaze was glued to him, she had never realized that he was so attractive before.

"Don't look at it, I can't get flowers on my face." Lihong was so uncomfortable with her that he reached out to block her eyes.

A heavy dry cough came from outside at the right time.

Ding Ruoyu's face turned red when he heard this, and he blurted out: "How old is my brother?" ”

"Nianfang...... Eighteen. Li Hong's ten fingers were used, and he pondered for a while before speaking.

"Shameless!" Tianlong's voice was loud, and his voice came in clearly and unhindered.

At such times, his ears are upset. Li Hong couldn't help but sigh.

"The third thing before that, I thought about it." Ding Ruoyu seemed to believe it completely, looking at him, his eyes were unblinking, and he could see the bottom clearly.

"I'm going to follow you until I'm eighteen." She pinched her fingers and said, "It's not a few years! ”

"You can follow." Li Hong lowered her eyes, her eyelashes were long, like a butterfly suddenly fluttering on the tip of her heart.

The next morning, both of them had rested enough, and they said goodbye to Tianlong in good spirits, leaving the huge sinkhole.

When he went up, there was gravel falling off, and Ding Ruoyu sprained his foot after dodging, so he had to go out on his back.

A dog has his day.

She sighed in her heart, and insisted on walking by herself after a long time, but found that her ankle was swollen, and it hurt so much that she couldn't do it.

Li Hong left her in the wasteland, returned to the top of the sinkhole, and picked some herbs and wild fruits.

He looked at the sky and said, "Your feet are incapacitated, so you have to sleep here tonight." ”

Pounding medicine, chopping wood and making fires, he is as skilled as a hunter who runs around in the wilderness all year round. Ding Ruoyu sat by the fire and roasted his hands, and when he saw that he finally stopped, he hurriedly moved over and wiped the ashes on his face with his sleeve.

Within reach, for the first time, he gave her such a mortal feeling.

It was completely dark, the crescent moon was embedded in a corner of the distant mountains, and the stars were exceptionally bright.

"Shall we not go back?" When she asked, she was shocked. I don't know why, every time I am alone with him, I always unconsciously confide in my truest thoughts.

Ding Ruoyu originally leaned on his heart, and the two of them looked at the starry sky by the fire, but when this sentence came out, she jumped up.

Li Hong turned his gaze, smiled and pressed on her shoulder, and his other hand held her slender neck, and pecked her lightly in the center of her eyebrows.

It was so soft that it was almost imperceptible, without a trace of desire, but instead it exuded an air of despair.

Ding Ruoyu hurriedly buried his head in his arms and pretended to be an ostrich, and heard him say with two points of mockery: "Forgot your little lover so quickly? ”

She was not good at words, and after this question, she was even more unable to refute it.

"It's different." She said for a long time.

Lihong's fingers ran through her loose hair, gentle and slow.

"When you go back, you still have to do what you have to do." "Forget what happened these days, forget this terrible thought," he said. ”

He was telling her, as if he were admonishing himself.

"And what about tonight?" Ding Ruoyu asked in his arms, his voice muffled.

So they looked at the stars all night, and without saying a word, they tied their hearts together for a while.

After dawn, they will return to their respective positions, and there will never be such a calm starry sky again......

At the fork in the road, Lihong took out a piccolo from the torn placket and played an eerie tune.

Half an hour later, a small group of red-cloaked witch cult disciples, led by the gray-clothed masked boy in the lead, hurried to this deserted mountain, followed by a spotted python along the path, and stopped in front of the two in an instant.

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted, and the gray-clothed man in the lead said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are late, I hope the lord will punish them!" ”

"Leave Nangong." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "You send this kid directly back to the camp of the dead." ”

Nangong Yi nodded yes, took the girl in his arms, carried her, and ran down the mountain like a whirlwind.

When Ding Ruoyu came back to his senses, he was already quite far away from the fork in the road, and he couldn't see Lihong's figure anymore.

The forest wind was gusting, and it was getting late when we arrived at the camp. These days, Ding Ruoyu was in a state of high mental tension, and when he relaxed, he felt sore and weak, and he actually fell asleep on Nangong Yi's back.

Hearing the slight sound of breathing in his ears, the gray-clothed young man looked back, and his bright and sharp eyes gradually softened. He ran fast and steady, trying to make her sleep less tired along the way.

The sky was getting darker, and before I knew it, it was another day.

The night wind was bitterly cold, whining wantonly in the open field outside the earthen house. The dust and sand were lightly raised, trying in vain to spread into the sky, obscuring the already precarious faint starlight.

Under the Demon Suppression Tower, clear footsteps sounded in the long corridor. The man carrying the lantern was dressed in white and with black hair, and the tenderness in his eyes had long since dissipated, and what was filled with it at this time was boundless indifference. That kind of indifference is not empty, but seems to see through the indifference of all things in the world, which makes the hearts of those who travel with him fear and shudder.

Nangong Yi lowered his head and followed behind him, he had always been shrewd and cold, and he didn't even dare to come out. After turning a few forks in the road, dealing with a few mechanisms, I came to the outside of a dark palace. The national teacher ordered him to wait outside with a lantern, pushed open the door of the temple by himself, and walked alone into the depths of the unknown darkness.

Suddenly there was a sound of chains shaking in the darkness. A hoarse voice echoed in the empty dark hall: "Monster, here you are again!" ”

"If she is not sober like this, she will be left to fend for herself." The voice of the reply was gentle and clear, and the people in the hall immediately fell silent.

But the calm only lasted for a moment, and then the voice became more and more manic: "I want to see her!" You let me see her! The roar was accompanied by the violent clash of chains.

"You went to see her all over your body, trying to scare her to death?" The gentle, deep voice was unhurried.

In the depths of the darkness, Huo Ran lit up with four bloodthirsty scarlet, as if two ferocious and terrifying beasts were facing each other in the cold night.

In the aftermath of the collision of iron chains, a tired and hoarse voice sounded: "Ah Zhou, look at your appearance, you are about to run out of oil!" If you don't get back the real Celestial Clan's body, you will not be able to protect yourself, how can you fight against the Heavenly Fortune Pavilion for us? ”

"Don't call me Ah Zhou again!" The dark red blood light in the eyes of the man in white gradually faded, and his expression became soft and calm, he adjusted his mood and said slowly: "Count the days, it's indeed almost time for them to do something to me." ”

The hoarse man stared at him silently, and only said after a long time: "Lihong is still sleeping, and the clan can really call the shots...... I'm the only one left! ”

"Scared?" The national teacher smiled lightly and said indifferently, "To deal with the group of reckless men sent by my father, we still need to do it ourselves?" ”

"You're ...... after all," the man in the shadows hissed.

"I've developed the perfect medicine man."
