Linlang took out the Soul Eater Knife, and the word "Ning" engraved on the handle of the knife made her curious for a long time. She once asked Zhong Jiu what the word Ning meant. Zhong Jiu didn't answer her question at first, and he had been pestered by her for a long time before he said impatiently: "It's the meaning of peace and tranquility." ”

Linlang didn't believe it, if it was just such a simple meaning, why didn't he tell her in the morning, it was even more suspicious. It's just that Zhong Jiu doesn't want to say more, and she doesn't want to ask again.

Linlang pulled out the bright knife, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the knife light was extremely bewitching. Unlike an ordinary knife, it is so bright and eerie that it makes people feel chills when they look at it. Linlang touched the blade of the knife, which was cold and piercing. She smiled suddenly, this was not an ordinary knife, naturally it was different.

Linlang stood on the shore and waited for a long time, but there was still no trace of Zhong Jiu. The surface of the river is still calm like a mirror, it is said that this Nanliu River is not big, and it should not be too difficult to catch a water ghost. Why haven't I seen it for so long, it's not that something happened. The calmer the river, the more panicked Linlang's heart became.

She was pacing back and forth by the river, when suddenly there seemed to be a gust of wind on the river, and a small ripple appeared on the surface of the river. Another moment passed. The ripples turned into a big whirlpool. Linlang nervously clenched the knife in her hand, afraid that something would jump out in the next moment. Maybe it's Zhong Jiu, maybe it's the water ghost. She naturally hoped that Zhong Jiu would come out, and it would also indicate that he was safe and sound.

The whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and after a while there was a big splash of water, which jumped into the air and fell again. It was like a heavy rain near the river, and Linlang couldn't dodge it, and was drenched by the falling droplets.

Before she could straighten out her soaked clothes, a large black thing burst out of a whirlpool.

Linlang looked at it, and the hair was messy and tangled, ankle-length, and the pointed and long fangs were about an inch long. The white eyes were about to pop out, and he stretched out his hands and went straight to Linlang.

Linlang hurriedly took a few steps back in fear, but tripped over the pebbles by the river, and she fell into the wet dirt. The water ghost grabbed her ankle at once, and Linlang screamed, waving the knife in his hand to look at the water ghost's wrist.

The water ghost fled quickly, but still made a cut on his wrist. Enraged, the water spirit bared its long fangs, stared at its huge eyes, and rattled in its throat like the sound of some kind of beast.

Linlang was frightened from the ground, bent down slightly, raised the knife in his hand high, and made a fighting posture. She looked quite heroic, but her heart was already shaking into a sieve. The water ghost came out, but Zhong Jiu hadn't appeared yet, he must have had an accident. As soon as her eyes heated, tears fell. If something happens to Zhong Jiu, I'm afraid she won't survive. Even he can't handle it, just with her useless ability, can she still endure this water ghost?

Fortunately, if Zhong Jiu is gone, she doesn't want to live alone, so she can just go to the underworld to take a walk and see the flowers bloom on the other side there.

The water ghost pounced violently, and Linlang couldn't dodge it. She closed her eyes tightly and waved the knife in her hand wildly. It's just that what happened to her suddenly flying? She slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhong Jiu's face close at hand, Linlang happily hugged his neck, and said loudly, "You are not dead?" ”

Zhong Jiu looked at her coldly and said, "What? Do you want me to die? ”

Linlang was held by him and fell to the ground from mid-air, she was so happy that she forgot to let go of her hand, she continued: "How come? You haven't come out, I thought you ...... Anyway, you're fine. ”

Zhong Jiu looked down at her helplessly: "Can you let go of me first?" ”

Linlang then remembered that she was hugging his neck. She smiled awkwardly and hurriedly let go of her arms. It's just that the water ghost pounced in the air, and he was even more annoyed, and he turned around in an instant, and rushed towards them with lightning speed.

Zhong Jiu kept his hands around her waist and held her in his arms, and with the other palm stretched out, the long sword appeared, shining with a cold silver light in the moonlight.

Before the water ghost could get close, he slashed his sword into the chest. The water ghost dodged at an extremely fast speed, and kept his palm taking advantage of Zhong Jiu's unpreparedness and stretched out to Linlang.

Linlang held the short knife and slashed at the water ghost's arm, and in the blink of an eye, half of his arm fell on its own.

The water ghost roared in pain, Zhong Jiu quickly attacked, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight into the water ghost's throat. With a short roar, the water ghost fell to the ground with a bang. Zhong Jiu wanted to pass through the Soul Devouring Knife, and made up another knife heavily, and in an instant, the water ghost turned into nothing.

Linlang fell to the ground, panting heavily. Zhong Jiu put away the sword in his hand, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, and returned the short knife to her.

Linlang took it weakly and put it in his arms. Zhong Jiu helped her up, but her legs were weak and she fell into Zhong Jiu's arms.

Zhong Jiu sighed, hugged her horizontally, and said softly, "Scared you, didn't you?" ”

Linlang pillowed on Zhong Jiu's broad shoulders, stretched out her arms around his neck, and her eyes were slightly red. She sniffed and whispered, "I've never seen anything like this." ”

Zhong Jiu hugged her arm and tightened it slightly, and said, "It's me who is not good, I underestimated the ability of this ghost." I was deceived by his tricks in the water, so I came out one step too late. ”

Linlang was probably really scared, hiding in his arms and trembling. When she arrived at the inn and her room, she was a little better. Zhong Jiu found a clean set of clothes in her box, handed it to her, and said, "Your clothes are all wet, change them quickly, and catch a cold carefully." ”

Linlang took it with a red face, put down the curtain on the bed, took off her soaked clothes, and threw it out. Zhong Jiu stood far away from the bed, with candlelight behind the curtain, and he could see a little back, and occasionally he could hear the sound of Suo Suo inside.

A breeze blew in from the window, lifting a corner of the curtain. Linlang was facing away from Zhong Jiu, and had already taken off all her clothes, and Zhong Jiu accidentally saw her smooth back, as well as the little red on her back, which seemed to have grown a little more.

Linlang changed her clothes, lifted the curtain and walked out slowly.

Zhong Jiu looked at her delicate and innocent appearance, and his heart suddenly hurt. There are only two days left before the half-moon period of the Hades King, and today he was originally here to play Gu on her. The way she looks now, how can he do it.

In the end, he is soft-hearted, and he will beg the Hades King tomorrow, and there may be room for return. Zhong Jiu comforted her for a while, then got up to leave. He stopped suddenly, how could the Immortal King agree? If he doesn't do it, if the Hades King comes, Linlang is afraid that he will only die.

He was hesitating, but Linlang suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes, bit his lip and whispered, "Can you not leave tonight and accompany me?" I...... I'm a little scared. ”

Zhong Jiu stared at her, her so beautiful, gentle and innocent eyes, white face, and rosy lips. Zhong Jiu's heart was torn apart in his chest by countless hands, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't do more.

His hated teeth were about to be crushed, why did Yejun refuse to let her go? To make her suffer like this, he did his best to save her life. And now, he had to send her to hell.

Linlang watched Zhong Jiu's face change and change, his eyes were soft for a while, and murderous for a while. She was at a loss for a moment, and finally let go of the corner of his clothes, and said cautiously: "If you don't want to, you can go, and I'm not so afraid." ”

Zhong Jiu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her slender waist, pulled her closer, looked at her watery eyes, and lowered his head to kiss her eyebrows.

Linlang was taken aback and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She didn't expect, never dreamed, that Zhong Jiu would suddenly kiss her.

She didn't know where to put her nervous hands, so she could only clasp her nails with her hands down. Zhong Jiu's lips were hot, not as cold as his body.

Zhong Jiu's eyes appeared in front of him, remembering that she was nestled in his arms at that time, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Wuji, are you really willing to marry me?" ”

He also smiled happily, caressed her delicate cheeks dotingly, and said, "I really want to, I want you to be my ghost queen, my only ghost queen." ”

She suddenly became lost again, and said in frustration: "If I marry you, I will never be able to return to the heavenly realm." ”

He became nervous, he couldn't have it both ways, and what he gained had had to lose. It's just that no matter how greedy he wants her, he must respect her choice, he carefully asked: "Then do you want to marry me, or go back to the heavenly realm?" ”

She frowned and thought for a long time, so long that he thought he was going to lose her, and finally heard her say: "I would still prefer to marry you and be your ghost queen than to go back to the heavenly realm." ”

He finally laughed, holding her face in both hands as if he were holding a rare treasure. He said sonorously: "Ning'er, my good Ning'er, I will not make you regret it." ”

Linlang was only immersed in such a sweet moment, completely unaware of what heaven and earth were. Zhong Jiu kissed her, took her in his arms, the hand behind Linlang's back moved slightly, and a golden Gu worm fell out of his sleeve, twisting energetically, and it landed in his palm. He closed his eyes in pain, but when he opened them, he had already made up his mind.

Linlang suddenly felt a pinprick pain in her neck, and let out a low scream. Zhong Jiu immediately let go of her, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?" But did I hurt you? ”

Linlang frowned, touched the side of her neck, put her finger in front of her eyes, and there was nothing wrong with her fingers, as if there was nothing wrong. She said indifferently, "It looks like I've been bitten by a bug." ”

Zhong Jiu's hand under the sleeve shook and said a little nervously: "How can there be insects in this weather?" ”

Linlang smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have, being bitten by a bug is not a big deal." ”

Zhong Jiu gently touched her head and said meaningfully, "Linlang, don't blame me. ”

Linlang's face turned red, she turned her back to Zhong Jiu, and said in a shy tone: "How can I blame you, I am willing in my heart." ”

Zhong Jiu knew that Linlang had misunderstood him about kissing her, but it would be fine if that was the case. How could he open his mouth to her about such a dirty thing.

Zhong Jiu coaxed Linlang to sleep, sat on the edge of her bed, and watched her beautiful and quiet sleep. Zhong Jiu sighed lamentingly, hot tears flowing out of his eyes and falling on the back of his hand, but burning his heart.

He tucked the corners of the quilt for Linlang, got up to leave, the hem of his clothes sank, and he looked down, but it was Linlang's fingers tightly grasping the corners of his clothes. Zhong Jiu gently broke her fingers, her hand waved a few times, and she muttered: "Brother Zhong Jiu, don't go, don't go." Then he rolled over and fell asleep again.

Zhong Jiu put her hand in the quilt, touched her face, turned and disappeared into the room.
