Chapter 8: Distress Again

"Hmm......" Qiao Zimei grabbed the cat demon's wrist with both hands, and embed her nails into the cat demon's skin with her fingernails, her throat was clamped so painfully, it turned out that it could still hurt so much if she was a ghost.

The cat demon let go of the hand that was choking her throat and said softly, "Say it! ”

Qiao Zimei saw that she let go of the gap in her throat, and quickly turned sideways to break away from the clamp of the cat demon's palm, and escaped like a fly.

The slender and transparent nails of the cat demon's index finger gently scratched the plump lips, this prey is so dexterous, is it to play cat hide and seek with her? A wandering spirit for a wish, isn't she gracious enough? However, the more the prey resisted her, the more excited she became, and watching the prey run away made her feel inexplicably happy!

Qiao Zimei ran into the darkness ahead, although she was now unintentional, she still felt endless fear, and the entire Muyong City was sleeping, like a dead city.

The cat demon flew in front of Qiao Zimei, Qiao Zimei turned her head and ran in another direction, and the cat demon stopped in front of her again, no matter how she ran, the cat demon could quickly stop in front, as if she could do the trick.

Qiao Zimei knelt on the ground and cried and begged: "I beg you, how can you let me go?" ”

The cat demon bent over her, his sharp fingers clamping her chin, a triumphant smile rising into his mouth.

Qiao Zimei closed her eyes, feeling the cat demon's nails slowly scratching her face, moving towards the top of her head, pressing on the top of her head, her head slowly hurt, as if it was about to be gradually melted.

"I've got a wish!" Qiao Zimei closed her eyes and shouted, a wish, don't be in vain.

"Tell me about it." The cat demon's palm unloaded some strength, and said coquettishly.

"I want to eat a full meal, I haven't eaten in a long time!" Qiao Zimei closed her eyes and trembled.

"Hehe," the cat demon sneered twice, and pressed the palm above her head to exert force again, "Little prey, you tease me!" ”

"You regret it!" Qiao Zimei's limbs were weak, tears slipped from her closed eyes, she only felt that the force on the heavenly spirit cover was gradually tightening, her body was constantly pulled up by a force, and her palm seemed to be devouring her, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to end this pain quickly.

When the pain was about to reach its peak and her consciousness was about to disappear completely, she suddenly felt that the cat demon let go of her hand, and all the clamping pressure was released, she opened her eyes suddenly, only to see a man in Xuanqing clothes raising a sharp sword, facing the neck of the cat demon, the corners of the cat demon's mouth were slightly hooked, and the hooking eyes were staring at the man tightly.

The hair on the man's forehead fluttered softly with the cold wind, he had a long figure, a very handsome and charming side face, a straight nose, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was a man with peerless beauty.

He held his sword, looked at the cat demon with resolute eyes, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said coldly: "Don't go quickly!" ”

At this time, the cat demon was facing him, the man in front of him was not her opponent at all, the man could not see the tail on the cat demon's buttocks, but he could see the cat demon's silver-white hair, slender and sharp nails and light blue eyes, although the appearance was beautiful, but he was surprised, this person has blue eyes and silver hair, there is such a race in the world?

The cat demon still had a charming smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with a hint of admiration for his handsome appearance, she quietly retracted the tail behind her body, and said softly: "Thank you for the grace of the son not to kill!" With that, he flew away.

The man pinned his sword back to his waist and turned to walk towards Qiao Zimei.

Qiao Zimei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the cat demon gone, and looked at her engong who was walking towards her. The man bent down and stretched out his hand to her with a smile, his eyebrows were clear, like a clear spring that moistened her heart, and he said softly, "Come, don't be afraid. ”

Qiao Zimei hesitated and stretched out her hand to him, and sure enough, her hand passed through his hand, and she still couldn't touch the real thing.

When the man saw this scene, he suddenly found that what he was in front of him was not a person, and there was a trace of astonishment in his eyes, but when he looked at the poor woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth immediately turned up, and his eyes smiled like a warm moon, squeezing out a very reassuring smile.

"Don't be afraid, do you need my help?" He said softly.

"Hao Tianlin, even if you save her, do you still want to send her home?" The flower on the black horse was impatient and shouted, "It's cold, let's go!" ”

Qiao Zimei realized that there were two horses resting not far away, and the person riding on the white horse was Ling Zixuan, who was looking at this side indifferently.

Qiao Zimei was afraid that the cat demon would come back again, so she held on to a glimmer of hope and asked the man, "Can you help me find the ghost gate?" ”

Hao Tianlin was very surprised, he couldn't answer her question for a while, he immediately remembered that someone he knew was a wizard, so he said: "I'll take you to find someone to help tomorrow, but after a long night, are you afraid to swim in the street?" ”

Qiao Zimei saw Hao Tianlin hanging a purse around his waist, so he said, "I'll follow you." ”

Hua Mantian was very impatient, and said, "Have you done it, Hao Tianlin?" ”

Hao Tianlin replied loudly: "It's almost ready!" ”

Hua Mantian snorted, folded his arms and rode silently on the horse.

Hao Tianlin asked Qiao Zimei again: "How do you follow me?" ”

Qiao Zimei said: "I have a way, you go with them first." ”

Hao Tianlin walked away, Ling Zixuan kept staring at her silently, and it wasn't until Hao Tianlin got on the horse that he asked, "Is she okay?" ”

Hao Tianlin said: "She's fine!" ”

Ling Zixuan looked in Qiao Zimei's direction again, she was gone, he didn't expect others to see her, and he was comforted in his heart, not only did he see the ghost, but others also saw it. He grabbed the horse's belly and walked away.

Hao Tianlin rode a horse while looking around absentmindedly, and until he returned to the Yongwang Mansion, the woman never appeared again.

Ling Zixuan saw that he was always absent-minded, so he asked, "Hao Zhan, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”

Hua Mantian sneered: "Maybe I met a beautiful woman just now, and I was fascinated by ghosts!" ”

"Nothing!" Hao Tianlin hurriedly explained.

"Humph!" Hua Mantian snorted coldly, ignored him anymore, and went back to the room to rest alone after saluting Ling Zixuan.

Hao Tianlin also returned to the room, rested in wide clothes, as soon as his hand touched the purse, a woman suddenly appeared behind him, he hung up his coat and purse, felt particularly cold, couldn't help rubbing his arms, wanted to hide in the quilt quickly, turned around, but saw a girl suddenly staring at him behind him, frightened to take a big step back, almost fell, fortunately holding on to a table beside him.

The woman saluted him and said, "The little girl has offended Engong, please forgive me!" ”

Hao Tianlin was really startled, and while putting on his coat, he was talking a little unclear: "No...... It's okay! ”

Qiao Zimei saw that he seemed very uncomfortable, and said worriedly: "Did I scare Engong?" ”

Hao Tianlin calmed down and said with a smile: "It's okay, I was just scared by your sudden appearance, I will take a day off tomorrow and take you to find a wizard, she has strong mana, I believe she will be able to help you!" ”

Qiao Zimei was very happy, she knelt down with a smile, and kept kowtowing to thank him.

"I haven't been caught by this king yet!"

Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door.

Hao Tianlin looked at the voice and saw a figure outside the door, and there was a small hole in the door with a finger, and an eye outside was looking into the room through the small hole.

Hao Tianlin went to open the door, and when he saw Ling Zixuan standing outside the door with his hands in his hands, with a sly smile on his face, he was surprised: "Lord Wang? ”

Ling Zixuan walked into the room, there was no ghost in the room, he sneered, and said, "Hmph, Qiao Zimei, don't hide, don't come out yet?" ”

"Lord Wang, who are you looking for?" He asked Ling Zixuan, and suddenly felt that the name Qiao Zimei was so familiar, and suddenly remembered that the name of the murder victim tried the day before yesterday was also Qiao Zimei!

Ling Zixuan smiled, looked at Qiao Zimei who slowly appeared in front of him, and said, "What are you pestering my subordinates for?" ”

Qiao Zimei saluted him and asked Andao: "The prince is auspicious!" ”

Ling Zixuan clasped his hands around his chest, turned away from her, and said, "Can it be auspicious to hit a ghost?" ”

Qiao Zimei knew that he had been angry when he refused his help, but the matter had passed, was this man so petty? But now there is a request for others, so I can only grind and soak: "Lord, the little woman knows that she is wrong, she shouldn't refuse the kindness of the prince, the little woman will compensate you, you have a lot, forgive the little girl, okay?" ”

Ling Zixuan ignored her and said to Hao Tianlin: "You have also seen this woman, but you have seen her corpse!" ”

Hao Tianlin looked at Qiao Zimei, his eyes showed love and pity, and said, "She is the poor girl?" ”

Ling Zixuan glanced at Qiao Zimei and said, "It's pitiful, it's pitiful, I guessed that you wouldn't sit idly by after you saved her, you said that you took her to the wizard, did you plan to find Nangong Yi?" ”

Hao Tianlin nodded: "The only way to find her is to find her." ”

"Approve your leave tomorrow!" Ling Zixuan patted his arm, smiled and walked out of the room slowly.

Hao Tianlin sent him out, and after closing the door, he saw her frowning, and said with a smile: "You were in danger just now, and it was the prince who ordered me to help, and he was a knife with a tofu heart." ”

Qiao Zimei understood what he meant, although the prince sometimes owes a little bit, but fortunately, there is no big shelf, and it is late at night, she is not good to disturb him to rest, so she saluted and said: "Engong will rest first, and I will come to you tomorrow." ”

Hao Tianlin smiled and watched her disappear through the door.

Behind a wall outside the room, Hua Mantian shrank and hid in the dark, since Hao Tianlin returned to the room, she has been hiding behind the wall to observe the situation here, seeing Ling Zixuan peeking, until she saw Qiao Zimei floating out, she turned around and left.

On the second day, as soon as Hao Tianlin opened the door, she saw Qiao Zimei waiting in front of the door, she smiled slightly, saluted him and said, "Good morning, Engong!" ”

Hao Tianlin replied with a bright and warm smile: "Miss Qiao doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Brother Hao." ”

Qiao Zimei bowed his head and followed behind Hao Tianlin.

She had been practicing in the garden all night last night, learning to use her simple abilities. She could have allowed anyone to see or not see herself, although it sometimes failed, and the most worrying thing for her was that she had never been able to touch the real thing.

She hid in Hao Tianlin's purse out of the Yongwang Mansion, he took her to ride a horse for half a day, the horse stopped, she appeared, saw Hao Tianlin was handing over the horse to an inn to take care of the little two, the most striking thing here is the solemn and magnificent stone archway not far away, which is engraved with "Qingzhen" two gold lacquer characters, the surrounding bazaar is very lively, the people on the street are shoulder to shoulder, the hawkers shout and sell, the street is around a circle to perform acrobatics, wandering around, Hao Tianlin saw her look at the pedestrians coming and going, thought she was afraid, and asked: "This is broad daylight, Will it be uncomfortable? ”

Qiao Zimei shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just glad that I can still see such a lively street market." ”

She didn't feel uncomfortable in this environment, but she would be more comfortable in a dark place. In fact, ghosts are not afraid of people and light as the legend says, but ghosts are afraid of gods, magic weapons and terrifying monsters!

When they walked into the cold alley, Qiao Zimei suddenly felt much more comfortable, her whole body was fluttering and full of vitality, and she saw that there were still a few ghosts wandering in the cold alley.

Hao Tianlin took her around a few corners, and finally stopped in front of a house called "Nangong Mansion".

He knocked on the door a few times, and soon a little girl came to open the door, the little girl looked about twelve or thirteen years old, chubby, and very cute, she saw Hao Tianlin very surprised, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, come in quickly!" ”
