Chapter 165
There was no news as soon as I was gone, and Ying Ning thought that he might not be able to compete with Shen Tu after all, and finally gave in. But she felt faintly uneasy, he was not the kind of person who gave in easily. And he told her with great confidence that he would come to pick her up. Unless something happened, he couldn't come.
But what is it that is important that will trap him? A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in her mind, it couldn't be that Shen Tu really wanted his life. The most ruthless emperor family, I disobeyed the holy decree, that is, I slapped Shen Tu in the face, which made Shen Tu lose face. In order to block the mouths of the people, the gods may not do anything. It's hard to guess what that man was thinking.
Ying Ning began to panic, and after thinking about it, she decided to go to the mortal world to have a look, but she was about to go out, but she met Yejun head-on, he was holding a plate of peach blossom cake in his hand, looking at her anxious and flustered appearance, and asked softly: "Ning Ning, where are you in a hurry?" ”
Ying Ning hesitated, and watched Yejun sit down in her room, placing the peach blossom crisp in her hand on the table. He looked at her nonchalantly, as if he had read through her thoughts. This made Ying Ning feel extremely oppressed, she avoided his probing eyes, lowered her head and whispered, "I feel a little bored and want to go out for a walk." ”
"Oh, where you want to go, I can go with you." Yejun Yun spoke lightly.
Ying Ning hurriedly waved his hand and smiled reluctantly: "No need, I can do it myself." ”
Yejun pinched up a piece of peach blossom crisp, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, he said: "This is the peach blossom cake I ordered to be freshly made in the kitchen, and it is still steaming, don't you want to taste it?" ”
Ying Ning bit her lip and politely refused: "It's not too late to taste it when you come back." Where did she have the heart to eat now, and the uneasiness in her heart was growing little by little, which made her think more and more that something must have happened to her.
"Ning Ning, the mortal world has too many temptations for you, I'm afraid that you will forget the way back when you go out for a walk." Yejun suddenly slapped the peach blossom cake on the table, probably with great force, and his palm slapped on the table with a loud sound, and the peach blossom cake shattered into powder on the table.
Ying Ning was startled and said nervously: "Just casually stroll, I'll be back." ”
Yejun got up and walked slowly to her side, his eyes were fierce, Yingning felt for a moment that he would do something to her, and she even made plans to escape. It's just that he didn't do anything, but raised his hand and touched her face, and her face was covered with fine sweat from fright. His fingers were stained with crumbs, and she could smell the faint scent of peach blossoms.
Yejun wiped the sweat from her face, his face suddenly became sad, and he took another step closer, his body clinging to hers. Ying Ning wanted to step back, but his arms wrapped around her, and his palms caressed her waist hard, pulling her in a little more, and she couldn't move.
He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, and his sad voice echoed in her ears: "Ning Ning, don't you look at me well?" Where am I worse than Zhong Wuqi, why can't you give me a little bit of the place in your heart? Ning Ning, do you know I love you? I love you so much that I have no ego. When you were in pain because Zhong Wu died, and then found him again, I told myself to let go. Because as long as you're happy, I can do everything for you, so I don't love you anymore. But I can't do it at all, you are willing to be a maid for him, and you go to the battlefield for him to kill the enemy. The only thing I can do is silently watch over you behind you, and I don't know what else I can do but do that. You can't see me at all, even if I'm standing in front of you, and you don't have me in your eyes. I was desperate, my love was so low, I barely knew myself. I wasn't like this, you know, I'm ruthless and resolute, and I do things by any means, but when I meet you, I'm not me. Ning Ning, can you hear my heart? ”
Ying Ning didn't know how to respond, she didn't know Yejun's affection for her, but her heart gave me an expectation, and she couldn't tolerate anyone else. Although Yejun was very kind to her, although she was very grateful, she couldn't deceive him, she didn't love him, not at all. But seeing Yejun so tormented and sad, she couldn't refuse ruthlessly, she muttered: "Yejun, you're fine, it's my fault, I'm sorry." ”
Her word of sorry has already sent the Night Monarch into a situation from which she will never recover. He was unwilling, he suddenly picked up Yingning's face, let go of the last bit of dignity, as if begging: "Ningning, can you give it a try?" You try to be with me and you will find my good. Ningning, please. ”
Yingning's eye sockets were sour, and she spoke with difficulty: "Yejun, I'm sorry, I can't ......"
Before Yingning's words were finished, Yejun lowered her head and was about to kiss her, she hurriedly turned her head to hide, Yejun's lips brushed her cheeks.
After a long time, Yejun let go of her and returned to his indifferent and calm appearance, as if the humble and helpless Yejun had never appeared. He straightened his robe and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Wuqi was disrespectful and was imprisoned by the gods. Probably Shen Tu didn't want to deal with him yet, after all, his merits were excellent, and there were people in the court who interceded for him, and he would not die if he died, but probably not well. ”
What happened to him, Yingning was grateful to Yejun for telling her this, and she lowered her head and said thank you. Yejun smiled miserably: "What do you thank me?" I didn't do anything. I used to feel happy, yes, I was so vicious, and I had an inexplicable pleasure when I heard that Zhong Wuqi was imprisoned. I even hoped that Shen Tu would execute him, but unfortunately it didn't end up as I thought. ”
Yejun's honesty surprised Ying Ning a little, he would hardly want me to die so bluntly. It was the first time, and it was her actions that stimulated him.
"Do you want to go to him now?" The Night Monarch asked faintly.
Ying Ning nodded silently, she had to take a look. All of this I did was because of her. The cause was her, and she was the one who caused the result, so she had to do something about it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Yejun's face changed and changed, and finally turned into a long sigh: "I advise you not to go, Zhong Wuqi will be fine." How could the gods let him die? Not then, and not now. ”
"But I don't worry, I just go and look at him, and as soon as he's safe and sound, I'll come back at once. Yejun, please trust me. Yingning looked at him with a look of anticipation, expecting him to agree. In fact, what if he didn't agree, he couldn't stop it at all.
Yejun avoided Ying Ning's eyes, she looked at him like that, and always made him soft-hearted. He said: "Yingning, you don't have to care if I believe it or not, even if you will come back, your heart is not here." I advise you not to go because there is something wrong with the gods. ”
Ying Ning was stunned, Shen Tu is now the emperor of the mortal world, to put it bluntly, he is a mortal who is a little more noble, the only difference is that he has memories of his previous life. That's why he obstructed her and my period. It's really annoying, if he forgets how good it used to be, as I did. Maybe she and I have been together for a long time, and she is the one who may be given marriage.
"What's wrong with him?" Ying Ning asked curiously.
Yejun said in a deep voice: "According to my verification, the former emperor of the mortal world was benevolent and filial, and because of his weak body, he relied on drinking decoction medicine all the year round to survive, and he has always relied on Zhong Wuqi. But two years ago, he suddenly stopped drinking medicine, and he became stronger. I suspect that it must have been two years ago that the emperor was possessed by a god and became like this. ”
Ying Ning was shocked for a moment, she didn't quite understand Yejun's words. Didn't the gods reincarnate with me? How did it become a soul possession again, isn't it too incredible?
Seeing her confused face, Yejun continued to explain: "It is entirely possible for the gods to leave a trace of their soul back then, and to find a physical body to possess in the mortal world. Perhaps the emperor was already dead. In recent days, there have been inexplicable disappearances of young adults in Luoyang City, which should also be related to Shendi. The physical body is dead, and in order to prevent the physical body from deteriorating, he can only survive by sucking the souls of mortals. Of course, this will also help him to regain his spiritual power. So Yingning, if Shen Tu is just a mortal, it would be fine, but he may already have spiritual power. I'm afraid you'll suffer a lot from it, can you stay in the underworld? At least I can protect you, and if you return to the mortal world, I can't guard you all the time. The hatred between you and Shen Tu is no longer counted, and his mind is now clear, and he will definitely not be a mortal emperor with a mortal eye. ”
Ying Ning hesitated again and again, but still said: "In this case, I should go to the mortal world, the divine mind is not right, shouldn't we eliminate harm for the people?" He is also a member of the underworld, and it is our duty to get rid of it as soon as possible. ”
Yejun had a sad face, he held her shoulder and said, "Ning Ning, this person is naturally going to be removed, and I don't share the sky with him." So you'll leave this matter to me, okay? Don't go through this muddy water again, it was my fault in the past that put you in that situation. Now you don't care anymore, I'll get rid of the gods. ”
Ying Ning looked at him, his expression was sad, and his tone was full of pleading. She began to feel a little sorry for Yejun, and she whispered: "I can't let you do this alone, it's dangerous, Yejun, I can't let you be in this danger alone." ”
Yejun smiled at her, and finally brought a little joy in his tone: "Ning Ning, you are worried about me, don't you feel sorry for me?" You still have a little bit of my place in your heart, don't you? ”
Ying Ning looked at him as happy as a child, and her heart ached, she nodded and said, "Yes, I will worry about you." Yejun, we've fought side by side together, and there's no way I'm completely indifferent to you. It's just that I have my expectations in my heart, and I can't put you in my heart anymore. ”
"Then if there is no Zhong Wu period, are you willing to give me a chance?" Night-King asked expectantly, and he asked carefully, probably not getting the answer he wanted.
Ying Ning thought for a long time, but she couldn't bear it, she muttered: "Maybe, I don't know, I never thought about what would happen if I didn't have it?" ”
Yejun suddenly hugged her into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said happily: "Ning Ning, this is enough, at least you didn't completely deny me." Ning Ning, you have to remember, I love you. ”
Ying Ning didn't know that he was so easily satisfied, she hesitated for a moment, reached out and patted him on the back comfortingly. At the same time, he whispered in his ear, "Can you let me go and see me once?" ”
Ying Ning felt Yejun's body stunned, she thought he was about to refuse again, but probably he was still in an excited mood, he paused for a moment and replied, "You are only allowed to see him this time, and I will go with you." Don't say no, or you won't even get this chance. ”
It's better to have a chance than nothing, Ying Ning whispered, "Okay." ”
