Chapter 244: Take the dog food away
Late at night, after staring at the pitch-black canopy above his head for a while, Tang Li turned over, sleeping too much in the carriage during the day, and as a result, he couldn't sleep at all at night, which was really sad.
There would be dead silence all around, and her mind would be very clear, and she would inevitably be cranky.
When she first arrived in this world, she didn't know if she could go back, so she had already decided to live a good life here, but less than a year after she arrived in this world, she was told that a year later would be the time of death.
No matter how big her heart is, it is impossible for her to be completely calm, she has cried once before, but her mood has eased a lot, and she pretended to be okay in front of Xiao Chen and them, in fact, she is still very worried.
The question kept swirling in my head - who would want to kill them?
According to the outline plot, Xiao Chen's enemy is naturally Zhong Yunxi and them, but now this possibility can be ruled out first, and she believes that Zhong Yunxi will definitely not attack them.
Of course, it is possible that Xiao Chen's inheritance is exposed, this is a hidden danger, even if Zhong Yunxi and they don't know how to start, there is a possibility that they will be surrounded and suppressed by the Eight Great Sects. But if it were for this reason, she would not have died without knowing who the enemy was.
Then there is the initial guess - the enemy is Lan Shengyan. Now that she went to Water Town to meet with them, she has done more than a week, and this matter should still be of some use, it is impossible for them to completely remove their hostility towards her, at least the killing intent will be weakened a little.
After thinking about it for a while, but didn't come up with a reason, Tang Li planned to think in a different direction.
In short, according to Xin Ying's statement, let's exclude the options just considered, including Lan Shengyan, to sort out the clues and see if we can find out something.
Speaking of which, among the nine known villains, except for the one who may have been fused with the soul element by Zhu Jiu, she seems to have already met-
Wait a minute!
Tang Li suddenly thought of something.
The one who was fused with the soul element by Zhu Jiu, Lan Shengyan didn't seem to have mentioned it, whether it was talking about obsession or meeting in Water Town.
According to the outline, the relationship between that person and Lan Shengyan is not bad, but because of the inheritance, she has been hiding well, and she rarely sees people.
There was only a small volume of scenes arranged for her, and she didn't even participate in the final battle, which should be the reason why Lan Shengyan failed to get her obsession.
However, her inheritance is extremely useful at some point, and Lan Shengyan, who has been reborn, will definitely go to her for help, but now her soul yuan has actually been fused by Zhu Jiu.
With Lan Shengyan's relationship with her, Lan Shengyan would definitely not kill her, let alone give her soul yuan to Zhu Jiu.
In other words, it is almost impossible for the person behind Zhu Jiu to be Lan Shengyan - so, how did Zhu Jiu get this soul element.
Could it be that there is a new force behind him?
When he was in Water Town, if Zhu Jiu was just to catch up, he wouldn't use spiritual magic to deal with Xiao Chen, so he must have deliberately come to get close to her and Xiao Chen!
Could it be related to what happened a year from now?
Will it?
Thinking about this, Tang Li suddenly became a little excited, and couldn't help but sit up and look at Xiao Chen, but as soon as she wanted to speak, she hurriedly stopped.
Forget it, it's not good to wake him up in the middle of the night, let's talk about it during the day.
She pulled the blanket and was about to lie back, but she noticed that something was wrongβXiao Chen didn't wake up.
He had been sleeping only lightly, and if she had sat up like this before, he would have woken up long ago.
Pretending to be asleep?
Since he was obsessed, Xiao Chen hadn't slept very soundly, and he shouldn't have slept too deeply, probably because he was tired during the day, so he didn't want to open his eyes.
Although he thought so, Tang Li had another thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand and shake it in front of his eyes, if he really fell asleep, he wouldn't wake him up without touching him.
However, just as she got up, Chen Lanyu's voice came directly: "Tang Li, can't you sleep?"
Tang Li was suddenly startled, how could this guy spread the sound in the middle of the night.
She turned around and saw Chen Lanyu on the other end of the fire also awake, or not asleep at all, leaning against the tree behind her to look at her.
Chen Si'er was in charge of the vigil, so they didn't have to take shifts, I don't know why he didn't sleep.
Tang Li replied to him: "You can't sleep either?"
Chen Lanyu nodded: "Hmm." β
"Are you thinking about something, you can't sleep?" Without waiting for Chen Lanyu to answer, Tang Li guessed, "Is it because you are too nervous to return to the Seven Peaks Sect, or are you worried about what will happen in a year?"
Chen Lanyu replied: "It's all there." β
It is true that there are all, especially the latter, he is worried that his strength is not enough, and he will not be able to help when the time comes. In fact, his lineages were not fully awakened, but he could feel their presence, and it was only when he reached his realm that he could fully access them.
But if he was really in a hurry to learn, there was actually another way, and he had been hesitant to give it a try.
"It's okay, don't be too nervous, Uncle Chen is reluctant to scold you, as for what will happen in a year, I will definitely be able to find a way. After comforting him, Tang Li casually answered, "Even you can't sleep, Xiao Chen actually slept so soundly." β
Originally, it was just a joke, but Chen Lanyu was silent for a while before he replied with some complications: "Maybe he's tired, don't make any noise about him." β
"I didn't want to quarrel with him, I just wanted to see if he was pretending to be asleep, you don't know how dark he is, he always pretended to sleep before, and I suffered several losses. Tang Li said, finding that Chen Lanyu lowered her head and didn't look at her again, and suddenly felt a little strange, "Lanyu, what's wrong with you?"
β...... It's okay. β
Tang Lihu glanced at him suspiciously, this seemed to be fine, except for the matter of the demon clan, Chen Lanyu almost didn't know how to disguise in other things, she could see it at a glance: "Since it's okay, then chat with me." β
In his way, she could get the answer with a little bit of talk.
Chen Lanyu nodded lightly again: "Okay." β
Seeing that he agreed, Tang Li got up lightly, and as soon as he got up, Ming Lexue, who was not far away, opened his eyes with a "sigh", and at the same time reached out and held the giant knife placed next to him.
Seeing that it was Tang Li, she immediately opened her mouth, and Tang Li hurriedly made a silent gesture to signal that it was okay and let her continue to sleep.
Ming Lexue was still very sleepy, and after not realizing any danger around her, she let go of her hand and closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
Tang Li turned his head to look at Xiao Chen, still not awake, even Ming Lexue woke up when she heard her movements, Xiao Chen actually didn't wake up yet? A not very good premonition suddenly came to his heart.
Could it be that he was too tired to accidentally fall asleep?
If so, wouldn't he be devoured by obsession?
For a while, the uneasy premonition became more and more intense, and sometimes there was such an incredible intuition that was terrifying even if there was no trace.
Thinking of Xiao Chen's performance after hearing about her obsession, Tang Li felt a little uneasy - Xiao Chen was too calm at that time, although he was usually calm, but this calmness was different.
And Chen Lanyu's not quite right reaction just now, could it be related to this, they must have something to hide from her.
There is only one year, no matter how you look at it, there is too little time, will they come up with any bad ideas.
Thinking of this, Tang Li didn't care if it would make him rest, walked quickly to his side, and called softly: "Xiao Chen." β
No response......
Tang Li was suddenly frightened, and reached out to push him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed him.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, his dark eyes reflected the firelight, but there was no temperature: "Stupid, what are you doing?"
Thinking that he was so angry that he was argued, Tang Li didn't know how to explain for a while: "I...... It's to see if you're pretending to be asleep. β
Xiao Chen let go of her hand: "Don't make trouble, go back to sleep." β
Hearing him say this, Tang Li still felt uneasy, and deliberately said, "Xiao Chen, I feel a little cold. β
Xiao Chen glanced at the fire next to him, and it was almost burning: "Then cover one more blanket, and I'll go add some firewood." β
"No, I want to sleep with you. As long as she sleeps together, she can make full use of her sleeping appearance and toss back and forth to ensure that Xiao Chen will not sleep too deeply.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen simply refused: "No." β
Tang Li was not convinced: "Why not, it's not that we haven't slept together." β
"No, it just doesn't. β
"I don't care!" Tang Li said as he lifted his blanket and went straight in, wrapped around him like an octopus, "I just want to sleep with you." β
Zheng Yuan, who was woken up: "......"
He didn't hear anything, he really didn't hear anything...... It's too much, showing affection day and night, and this dialogue is too easy to make people think crooked.
Except for Zheng Yuan, everyone else was naturally woken up, Liang Ye frowned slightly, and was about to bury his head and continue to sleep, when he suddenly felt that there was a person standing in front of him.
He opened his eyes and found that Ming Lexue was standing there dragging his weapon, looking at it a little hesitant, and said hesitantly: "Liang Ye, I think-"
Liang Ye was startled, and got up directly without waiting for her to finish, "I'm awake, go to the vigil, you sleep by yourself." β
Ming Lexue: "???"
She just wanted to tell him that he was hungry and wanted to get something to eat, and in order to prevent her from stealing it, the food was kept by Liang Ye.
Why didn't Liang Ye run away before she finished speaking, wasn't the vigil in charge of the local man who didn't have to sleep? He definitely didn't want to give her food, so he deliberately made such a bad excuse.
I'm so hungry...... Ming Lexue rubbed her stomach and turned to Yoyo, who was squatting under the tree.
Yoyo, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a chill, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ming Lexue walking towards it: "Yoyo, let's discuss something." β
"......, no, no.
This time Xiao Chen refused to back down at all, even if Tang Li entangled him like an octopus, he still took her off his body mercilessly, and even prevented her from wrapping up again, taking out the blanket and directly wrapping her in a bucket.
Tang Li writhed a few times, and found that he couldn't break free, and was immediately annoyed: "Xiao Chen, what are you doing, let go of me." β
Xiao Chen asked, "Is it still cold?"
Tang Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and when she saw him staring at her calmly, her fighting spirit suddenly came up: "What is cold, I was angry with you, if you don't let go of me, the blanket will not be guaranteed, and when I come out, you will definitely regret it." β
When she comes out, she will definitely push him down, gnaw him until he is convinced, and see if he can pretend.
Zheng Yuan: "......"
I didn't let people sleep, woo, when it was dawn, he must go to find a girl.
On the other side, after looking at the situation on the other side for a while, Chen Lanyu buried his head lightly and sighed. He felt the soul thread that Xiao Chen had stored in him, and he didn't know if this decision was correct.
"What are you going to do?" At this time, Gu Zhiyun's voice came.
Chen Lanyu didn't look up, and replied softly: "It's nothing." β
Of course, Gu Zhiyun didn't believe that it was really "nothing", and when he saw that their emotions were not the same as before: "There's no need to be too panicked, we can't mess up by ourselves, according to my master, when the time comes, you and I will cooperate with our spiritual skills, and it is very likely that we will deduce the location of some dungeons, and we can go together when the time comes." β
He also knew what they were worried about, and he remembered hearing the first time Master said that he was in a dead end, and he was so worried.
Because of this, he was particularly attentive when he first learned the mental method of "prevention", and after he learned it, if he really encountered danger, he would not be vulnerable.
Chen Lanyu looked at him: "Copy?"
"Don't you understand?" Seeing Chen Lanyu shaking his head, Gu Zhiyun was a little surprised, he had been listening to the master talk about this, and thought that everyone said this, but he didn't expect that he would not understand, could it be a special language between spirit beasts?
He put it another way: "For example, secret realms and the like." β
In fact, Chen Lanyu roughly guessed what he meant, and even thought about this method before, after all, if you want to improve the realm faster, it will be much faster if you can encounter some opportunities. The secret realm is not without a trace, according to some information from previous years, plus he can use spiritual magic to investigate, he may be able to get ahead of others.
"Even if there is a secret realm to experience, in a year, I am afraid that there will not be much breakthrough. β
Thinking of what the master said, Gu Zhiyun said: "Don't be bound by 'one year', your life has changed, as long as you act carefully, the time of occurrence may also be postponed, or even directly avoid this catastrophe, if we care too much, it will be even more disadvantageous." β
β...... You're right. β
Obviously, he has always known that he is in a dead situation, but he can treat it so calmly, it seems that his master has taught him well.
Chen Lanyu asked, "Is your master like Tang Li?"
Faced with this question, Gu Zhiyun paused for a moment and replied: "A little, especially the ability to anger people is almost as powerful." β
In addition, in terms of mentality, Tang Li is also very similar to Master, he didn't expect that after learning the news, this little girl would be able to adjust her emotions so quickly.
Thinking of Tang Li's occasional words that made people cry and laugh, Chen Lanyu's expression softened a lot, and then said with a hint of a smile: "Then you are also blue." β
Gu Zhiyun: "......"
This compliment he didn't want at all.
