Chapter Seventy-Two: The Punishment Ends
Ying Ning held her cheek and looked at Zhong Wuqi, who was holding the thick stack of papers she copied, carefully flipping through the pages one by one. Yingning has been thinking about it behind closed doors for more than a month, and she hasn't seen Zhong Wuqi for so long, and she still feels a little missed. His focused and serious appearance is really fascinating.
Wu Zhi read it almost expressionlessly, he put down the paper in his hand, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and looked up at Yingning. His eyes were calm and waveless, but Yingning's heart began to go up and down, could it be that he saw some flaws? The part that Ling'er copied, she could check, was almost exactly the same as what she wrote.
Zhong Wuqi slowly asked, "You copied this alone?" ”
Ying Ning pondered his tone, thinking that even if he had doubts, there should be no evidence. She was about to grit her teeth, and she couldn't confess. She stretched out her white fingers, shook them in front of my eyes, and said with grievances: "Naturally, I wrote it alone, look at my hands, they are all calloused." ”
I really took a closer look at her hand, it was thin and white, and there were indeed thin calluses on the middle finger of her right hand. So what, it only proves that she did copy it. He smiled faintly and asked again, "Didn't use spells?" Or maybe you've found some helper. ”
Ying Ning raised three fingers and swore, "Heaven and earth conscience, I will never use a single spell. As for the helpers, look at the helpers in this house. Apart from me, there was a witch spirit bird, not even a living creature. ”
Zhong Wuqi turned his head to look at the bird that was sleeping sweetly in the nest, his eyes suddenly changed slightly, and he stretched out an index finger and pressed it on Ling'er's forehead. Ying Ning secretly screamed in her heart, and saw Ling'er open her eyes suddenly, chirp a few times, and then rolled to the ground, turning into a human form in a moment. Ling'er hadn't woken up yet, and was so shocked that she stared at her round eyes, looking at Wuqi and Yingning.
Ying Ning made a preemptive move, jumped up from the stool, and pretended to be surprised: "How did Ling'er become like this?" ”
"Don't you know?" I saw that her eyes were as innocent as a child, but her acting skills were not proficient enough and exaggerated, and he couldn't bear to debunk them.
"How do I know that he is a bird every day, and how can he suddenly become human?" Her tone was so sincere that I almost had to convince myself to believe her words.
Yingning also thought that I had believed it, but Ling'er was a bird who didn't know anything about the world, and she wasn't very smart about human affairs, and she couldn't understand what a white lie was. In short, Ying Ning felt that she was lying, not malicious, so it could only be good. Ling'er didn't care about this, and opened her mouth and said, "Master, I have already turned into a human form, don't you know?" I'll help you ......."
Before Ling'er finished speaking, she stepped forward and covered his mouth, smiled dryly at Wuqi and said, "He is talking nonsense, it is clear that he only became an adult today, and I don't know it." ”
Wu Qi sank his face, got up and straightened the hem of his robe, and said in an emotionless voice: "Since you haven't completed the punishment, pick out all the copies of Ling'er, and you should do the rest yourself." If you still speculate like this, I will add it to you a thousand times. ”
I raised my leg to leave, but Yingning suddenly rushed over, hugged his leg, and said aggrievedly: "I've copied a lot, can I forget it." I've been locked up in my room for a month, and my hands are about to be gone, and I can't stand it. Have pity on me, and let me go. When she spoke, her eyes were covered with a trace of mist, as if there was autumn water flowing, clear and transparent, innocent and free of any impurities. I seemed to sink into her pure eyes, and there was a corner of her heart, soft and soft.
I sighed in my heart, I really can't do anything about her. has the ability to make people angry, and also has the ability to make people soft-hearted. He lifted his feet, but she hugged him tightly, and I finally said helplessly: "You let go first." ”
"If you promise to leave me alone, I'll let it go." Ying Ning tilted her head and looked at him with blinking eyes.
Zhong Wuqi closed his eyes, nodded and said, "I promise you, the ground is cold, you get up quickly." ”
Ying Ning stood up with joy, hugged Wu Qi's arm, and said in a soft voice: "I knew that my brother was the best." ”
Although I was very helpless, I let her do whatever she wanted, and she was shaking her and was about to fall apart, and he didn't stop it. Even the boy standing at the door was very surprised, when did the Ghost King become so easy to talk to? They can't help but sigh, blaming themselves for not having a good skin, otherwise they made a mistake and begged for mercy like this, how comfortable it should be.
I asked Yingning to calm down, glanced at Ling'er, who was still in chaos, and said, "Since Ling'er has become a human form, it is not good to continue to live in your room." I'll ask someone to pack up a house near you and come out, and then move out. ”
Ling'er finally came to her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't want to leave my master." ”
Yingning has been raising Ling'er for so many days, and she is also reluctant in her heart: "Can't you move it?" He turned into a bird at night, and slept on this table, which took up no space at all. ”
"No, he has become a man, even in the form of a bird, he has the mind of a man. He is different from you male and female, and it is really inconvenient to live together. I sternly refused.
Ying Ning was taken aback, when she went to bed at night, she didn't carry Ling'er on her back at all, and sometimes she would change her clothes in front of him. She really just thought he was a bird, she looked at Ling'er and said, "No, then when I change clothes, you won't see it all." ”
Ling'er's fat face turned red, straight to the neck, and he lowered his head and laughed a few times. Ying Ning glared at Ling'er in annoyance, Wu Qi's face instantly turned pale, and he walked out of the door with Ling'er's neck in his hand, and said sharply: "Move out now, don't delay for a moment." ”
"Master save me......" Ling'er's miserable cry sounded outside the door, and Yingning sat on the stool indifferent. Ling'er, a little pervert, looking at his shy appearance, I don't know how much he has seen? It's better to be scared and scared by my period, so that he won't become a perverted bird in the future.
Yingning regained her free body, but she still couldn't see Zhong Wuqi every day. When asked about some ghosts, he only said that he had business to do. I don't know how he has so much to do, and it's so hard to see him.
She still wandered around every day, and then she woke to the place where she met Ah Cha. The tree seemed to grow a little more, its ghostly branches spreading out, as if it were about to cover the entire underworld.
There was no one under the tree, and there were no witch birds in the trees. Ying Ning circled around the thick trunk of the tree, and there was nothing interesting about it. She was about to leave when she heard someone shouting, "The fairy is coming, won't you sit a little longer?" ”
Ying Ning turned around, and Ah Cha was standing behind him, wearing a wide black robe, embroidered with unknown flowers, with teeth and claws, which made people unjoyful. His outfit today, for some reason, Ying Ning felt a little different. It doesn't seem to want to dress up like an ordinary ghost, but it's a bit noble.
"Ah Cha, it seems that we haven't seen each other for some days." Ying Ning greeted him.
Ah Cha walked to the bottom of the tree, stroked the rough trunk and said: "It's been a few days, I have made an agreement with the fairy, I often come, but I have never seen the fairy." I thought the fairy might be just a joke on me, or maybe the fairy didn't take me seriously at all. ”
Ying Ning smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I'm joking, it's not that I didn't take you to heart." I'm just ......" She snorted a few times, whether it was very honorable, she lowered her voice and continued: "I made a mistake a few days ago, and I was punished and locked up for a month, so I didn't come here to meet you. I really don't have a heart, and I ask Ah Cha not to be surprised. ”
Ah Cha smiled lightly, looked at her and said, "Such a beautiful fairy, can anyone still bear to punish you?" It must be the iron-faced and ruthless ghost king, only he doesn't know what pity and cherishing jade is. ”
Ying Ning shook her head, at first she did feel that Zhong Wuqi was a little unkind. It's just that later she was opportunistic and lied to others, and he didn't do much harsh criticism. She begged for mercy softly, and he really let her go. Yingning defended Wu Qi: "He is fine, everything is my own fault." ”
Ah Cha looked at her, his eyes flashing with unknown emotion. He asked softly, "What mistake did the fairy make to be locked up for so long?" This is the underworld, but there are really few of them. ”
Yingning saw that there was no one around, walked closer to Ah Cha, and whispered: "I went to the mortal world without permission, and my brother caught me in a brothel, and he got angry, so he punished me." It's my fault, and he deserves to punish me no matter how he punishes me. ”
Ah Cha raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked a faint arc: "Brothel? How would you go where? ”
Ying Ning was interested, and her eyebrows were full of excitement: "You also know the brothel, don't you?" I was just curious, and they wouldn't take me there, so I had to sneak it myself. I didn't expect to be caught, but I was really unlucky. ”
Ah Cha nodded slightly, laughed, and said softly: "Brothel, that's a good place, a paradise that men yearn for." ”
"You think so, too? Xiaoyaojun once told me that men in the world like it the most, it can make people drunk and dream of death, and go to Elysium. I went, and I felt very good. It's just that I and Yejun both said that it was not good, the land of fireworks, pickled and obscure, and they didn't like me to go. ”
"Who is the Night King?" Ah Cha asked suspiciously.
Ying Ning pondered for a moment, she didn't seem to have mentioned Yejun to Ah Cha yet. She spoke: "The Night Monarch is a friend of my Heavenly Realm, he was originally a spirit stone in Qingyuan, and later became an immortal and turned into a human form. In the Heavenly Realm, except for Aunt Xuannu, it was he and Hong Aya who were the best for me. ”
"Night Monarch...... Yejun, a good name, sounds very extraordinary. Ah Cha's mouth turned over and over and pronounced the name of Yejun several times, as if he had some different feelings.
Ying Ning didn't think about it that much, and she always felt that Yejun was not a thing in the pool. With his noble and elegant temperament, he can go to heaven and earth to cultivate, and sooner or later he will have some achievements. Maybe he still needs an opportunity, but it's just not there yet.
