Chapter 489: Mixed feelings
Ji Zi'an didn't say anything unprecedentedly ugly, but told Ji Wuxin in a very tactful way that her current strength has become a drag on everyone, and if she doesn't let her follow, she just doesn't want to take her as a drag.
Ji Wuxin bit his lip and thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind to ask, "Master, you have a way to improve my strength, right?"
Ji Zi'an frowned when he heard this, and did not answer, but it was obvious that he acquiesced.
"When I was in Shifan Mountain, I teamed up with Dugu Jin to deal with the resentment of the Akajiri horse monkey, although I don't have much impression of what happened at that time, but I know that the master opened some ...... in my body at that time Something like a seal. If that seal is completely opened, I will definitely be able to have a strength that is not weaker than yours, right?" Ji Wuxin was a little agitated.
"Huh. Ji Zi'an sneered and glanced at her lightly, "Not only is it not weaker than me, I'm afraid it's three points stronger than me." Isn't it a surprise? Isn't it full of hope? If I completely release the power in your body, are you going to get rid of my control over you?"
Ji Wuxin smiled miserably, but there was no fear of Ji Zi'an in his eyes, "Zi'an, although I am your puppet, you have never really understood me, maybe it is not necessary in your opinion...... But I still want to tell you that I love you and I never wanted to get rid of you.
"Allure told me before that if I continued like this, I could die at any time. You know, when I heard the news, I felt a sense of relief. I'm so tired, I'm so tired of loving you. If my death can buy a place in your heart, I will. ”
"I don't want to!" Ji Zi'an immediately snorted.
Fortunately, these two people are now walking at the back of everyone, and Ji Zi'an's low shout did not attract everyone's attention, but the painting in front of them pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movements of the two.
"Ji Wuxin, listen up, your life is mine. If I don't allow it, you don't want to die!" Ji Zi'an grabbed Ji Wuxin's wrist and said almost through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to be the master of this matter. The way you are now, can I think you care about me?" Ji Wuxin is not afraid at all, Xu has really seen through life and death, and he has no extravagant hopes for Ji Zi'an's love, so his instinctive fear of him has disappeared today.
"You...... Don't be presumptuous! Your life isn't as valuable as you think. Ji Zi'an shook off her hand in disgust, and her complexion quickly returned to normal.
"Hey, why bother?" said Hua Chengcheng, shaking his head and sighing quietly.
"Sooner or later, he'll regret it. Cang Wunian on the side said coldly.
"Brother Wunian, you actually have a penchant for listening to the roots of the wall?"
Cang Wunian spread his hands helplessly, "I don't want to hear it either, but they are right behind us, if we can't hear it like this, won't we become deaf?"
......
After about an hour of travel, the sky had already darkened, but the fog barrier in front of him still showed no sign of dissipating.
"Little Prince, have you miscalculated? We have been walking for an hour, but it seems that we have not passed through this place of the Netherworld. An Ruyue said nervously.
Her heart was still afraid, as long as she stayed in this ghost place where she did not see the light of day, she could not feel at ease for a moment, for fear that the frightening white and frightening white clothes would suddenly come out and attack them.
"It should be almost the end. Cang Wunian replied.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a "chirp", as if someone's foot had stepped into the mud.
"This ...... Where did this quagmire come from?" it was Qiao Sanniang who spoke, needless to say, she was the one who didn't notice stepping into the mud.
"Mire?" everyone was stunned.
"It's not good, get out of there!" Cang Wunian suddenly shouted.
Qiao Sanniang didn't have time to think when she heard the voice, and she had already instinctively condensed her mana and flew up.
As she flew up, a little bit of mud was brought out from under her feet, almost splashing onto everyone. A foul stench of rotting corpses followed, which filled the surrounding air.
"Vomit ......" As soon as An Ruyue and Ji Wuxin smelled this smell, they immediately felt a spasm in their stomachs, and the sour water involuntarily poured out.
Although the rest of the people didn't react so much, their faces immediately became a lot more ugly. The smell was so strong that one or two decomposing corpses could not give it away.
"Is this the Yin Pool?" After Qiao Sanniang fell back to the ground, she also shook off the mud on her feet with extreme disgust, and covered her mouth and nose with her hands to prevent herself from accidentally vomiting out.
"It's disgusting...... Vomit...... Why, how can there be living beings...... Vomit...... To survive in this kind of place, vomit ......" An Ruyue said a word, and Suo had already vomited several times.
"Yue'er, hold your breath and stop talking. This breath is not good for the body when inhaled. Qing Ci frowned and gently patted An Ruyue's back, and at the same time, the blue light around her body flashed, forming a protective light shield to wrap herself and An Ruyue in it.
"Strange, why hasn't it appeared yet?" asked Luo Fan suspiciously.
"It's not good if it's not here, if we fight it here, the rancid smell alone is enough for us to feel uncomfortable, so let's get out of here." Qiao Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore.
Cang Wunian thought for a while and said, "I don't care about retaining my strength, everyone stands together, I will set up a teleportation array, and immediately teleport out from here." ”
With that, the purple light flashed in his palm, and the ten ice crystal jade blocks that Hu Muhuo had returned to him when he left Mount Meru appeared in mid-air. Immediately, I saw that the hand trick in his palms changed, and purple runes of different shapes appeared under the soles of everyone's feet. Ten ice crystal jade blocks surrounded the eight people in the middle, and they spun rapidly.
A dazzling flash of light flashed, and the figures of the eight people immediately disappeared from the edge of the Yin Pool.
By the time they were on the ground, they had already appeared on the edge of a crystal clear river.
"Whew-huh-" An Ruyue gasped heavily, "Finally came out of that ghost place......" Before she finished speaking, her stomach was tumbling again, and she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, so as not to vomit it again.
"Sister Ruyue, are you okay?" Hua Chengcheng stared at her suspiciously rather than melancholy.
It stands to reason that Qing Ci had already protected her with mana before, and now she had left that disgusting place, at this time, even Ji Wuxin, who was in the worst situation among them, did not have any overreaction, why did An Ruyue still can't help but want to vomit?
An Ruyue waved her hand with a pale face, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little slow, the smell seems to be attached to my nose, and I think I can still smell it now." ”
Hearing this, Hua Chengcheng subconsciously glanced at Luo Fan, Luo Fan was a little unclear when he received her eyes, and then his eyes suddenly widened a little.
In Luo Fan's eyes, Hua Allure saw the same thoughts as herself, and for this reason, her brows became more tangled.
Walking to An Ruyue's side, Hua Chengcheng put his fingertips on An Ruyue's wrist.
"Miss Allure, ...... are you?" asked Qing Ci suspiciously.
Hua Chengcheng didn't speak, but injected a trace of mana into An Ruyue's body, and probed it carefully. After a while, the worried look on her face relaxed.
"Oh, it's fine. Maybe it's just that Sister Ruyue is more sensitive to that smell. It's me who is overthinking. The painting Allure withdrew his hand, quite relieved.
"Allure, don't you think I'm happy, right?" asked An Ruyue with a strange expression.
Hua Chengcheng nodded, after all, she and Luo Fan both have superb medical skills, and An Ruyue is extraordinary, and it is very unusual for any of them to have a reaction like continuous vomiting, which is not strange in the eyes of ordinary people. It's no wonder that these two Xinglin Holy Hands suspected that An Ruyue was pregnant.
In all fairness, if An Ruyue really had a child, no matter who they were, they would be happy for them. But the current situation is full of dangers, and there is still a fierce beast of unknown strength waiting for them to deal with. If An Ruyue was pregnant at such a time, it would really not be a happy thing.
"Miss Allure, Yue'er is ...... Is it really okay?" Qing Ci held An Ruyue's hand with a nervous expression.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Sister Ruyue is not pregnant. The painting sighed.
Qing Ci's complexion changed a few times, like a loss, and like a sigh of relief, in short, the mood was very complicated.
But An Ruyue saw it, smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't you know if I'm pregnant? Besides, in terms of our actual situation now, I am not suitable to be pregnant." It's enough to hold everyone back, and if you are pregnant with a child, I think I really have to go back to the Demon Slaying Sect to accompany Miss Hui and wait for you to come back. ”
"Yue'er ......" Qingci held her hand tightly, with some apology in her eyes.
"Oh, don't look at me like that. We haven't gotten married yet, if we have a child now, how wronged I am!" An Ruyue said with a heartless smile.
Qing Ci tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the guilt and uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. It was the first time since he had cultivated a strong body of strength that he felt so strongly that he was useless.
The feeling was even more intense than when he first saw Delirium.
If his strength can be a little stronger, a little stronger, and so strong that he is as strong as delirium and wind annihilation, what is it to be a mere deprivation? Even if An Ruyue is here with a big belly at this time, he has enough confidence to protect her and the child.
It was precisely because his strength was not strong enough that he would now feel a little glad that An Ruyue was not pregnant.
