Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hiding the Truth for Waiting Silently
(a)
The sky was getting dark, and a crescent moon floated in the sky.
The bright moonlight shone on the wet streets, shimmering silver. The night has covered the hustle and bustle of the day, and the town of Wushan is now quiet and silent.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, two figures, one crimson and one white, could be faintly seen slowly walking from the end of the street. Except for the occasional chirping of insects in the cold streets, the only sound was the footsteps of the two men.
"Xiaobai, it's really no problem here, or let's go back to Zhuhai. Chi Yan was already walking with his shoulders slumped and his back shrugged, looking exhausted.
Bai Hua stopped and looked up at the night sky. After a moment of distraction, the cold silver glow slanted on her face, revealing a little sadness.
He should have a lot to say to Ze Huang at this time...
When she came back to her senses, she whispered to Chi Yan again: "The air here is very good, let's go for a walk." ā
The air is good?!
Chi Yan hesitated, and said with a crying voice: "Can you not leave, do you know, we have been gone for more than an hour." ā
Bai Hua suddenly smiled faintly, "Then let's go out of the town and find a place to rest." ā
"Hey~ Then let's go!" Chi Yan drooped his head, helpless.
(b)
The autumn rain was silent, and the light gauze mist shrouded the entire bamboo sea.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
A loud shout broke the silence around them.
In the bamboo house, I saw Ze Huang's brows twisted, and he looked at the underworld with angry eyes.
"Zehuang~" The pale-faced Netherworld whispered softly, staggered up with his chest covered, pointed to a roll of bamboo slips on the table, and said solemnly: "Right now, only you can do it." ā
'It's ridiculous that you're going to let him kill me.' Nether, have you forgotten? We are one, and if I die, you will not be able to live. But I'm curious, what is written on your bamboo slip to deal with me?'
There was a sudden dull pain in his heart, and the ghost frowned, and pushed the bamboo slip in front of Ze Huang again, and his eyes were deep and he called: "Ze Huang~"
"Iā" Zehuang wanted to refuse again, but he suddenly realized that Netherworld actually gave him a slight look.
"Red... Hua..."The dark teeth opened lightly, and said these two words silently. After speaking, he lowered his eyes and motioned for Ze Huang to look at the hand that pointed to his chest.
Chihua?!
Ze Huang was stunned, and his eyes showed surprise.
No wonder the Netherworld Society gave birth to the Demon Mark, it turned out that he was actually in...
Stunned for a moment, he hurriedly collected his expression again, and walked towards the windowsill reflexively.
Use the black scales and waist cards to lure the Netherworld to remove Nian Mountain, and follow the clues that appear Cuifeng Tower, Feng Se Niang, Qin Binbin, Pan Python, Black Jiao, Plague, and the Soul Stone of the Forbidden Void Land... Could it be that all this is Chihua occupying the Netherworld's body, and why does he have to do this?!! and who is he?!
After pondering this, the doubts in my heart have been solved. But what is unsolved is even more confusing.
"It's late at night, you can rest in peace today, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow. ā
The word 'peace of mind', Ze Huang deliberately accentuated his tone.
"I see. Netherworld nodded, knowing the meaning of Ze Huang's words.
Ze Huang echoed his chin, took out a white jade bottle from his wide sleeve, and reminded: "When you condense, take one pill." I'll figure out the rest. ā
As he spoke, he glanced at the bamboo slips on the table again and continued, "I'll send you out." ā
Netherworld looked at Ze Huang with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "No need, you can rest early." ā
Ze Huang half-squinted his eyes and echoed: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the mountains to collect medicine." As you said, I need to get some rest sooner. ā
At first glance, it sounds like a farewell greeting. But the moment the two looked at each other, they also understood the meaning contained in each other's eyes.

The autumn rain cooled down overnight, and the glow of the morning dispelled the mist that lingered in the bamboo sea.
The raindrops of bamboo leaves fell silently into the lake, turning into a circle of ripples. The occasional chirping of birds in the forest woke up the bamboo sea that had been sleeping all night.
At this time, I saw Chi Yan and Bai Hua appear on the deep bamboo forest path.
Ze Huang, who was waiting outside the courtyard early in the morning, hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, and asked with concern: "Why did you two come back now?"
"You ask Xiaobai!" Chi Yan held Cuizhu with a haggard expression.
Ze Huang turned his head to look at Bai Hua and said, "But what went wrong?"
Bai Hua immediately waved his hand and explained, "No, nothing went wrong." ā
Ze Huang was puzzled, "Then why..."
"Well, the scenery along the way is good, so I walked with Chiyan for a while. Bai Hua snatched Bai.
"Scenery?!" Chi Yan's eyelids twitched, and he trembled and raised his hand to the bamboo forest when he came, and asked rhetorically: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, Xiaobai, tell me, what do we both enjoy?"
Bai Hua picked at his face, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Moon!"
Moon?!
When Chi Yan heard this, the soles of his feet softened, he rolled his eyes, and sat on the ground with a bamboo pole.
Ze Huang secretly glanced at Bai Hua, patted Chi Yan's shoulder again, and said, "It's not too early, you go to Yanqing Mountain with me!"
"What?!" was a paralyzed person, but he suddenly rose from the ground and said, "Why do you want to go back to Yanqingshan." ā
Bai Hua beside him was confused when he heard this, and asked Chi Yan rhetorically, "Yan Qingshan, what kind of place is that?"
Chi Yan dusted off the dust on his body and said casually: "Where I live." ā
"It's been so long, I didn't know that you also had your own territory!" Bai Hua suddenly realized.
"What kind of expression do you have?" Seeing her look of surprise, Chi Yan pursed his lips dissatisfied, and explained: "I'm a person, compare, the one who is willing to remain mysterious." The world only knows that there is no Canglan, a sea of clouds and bamboo forests, except for Nian Mountain, but the top of the clouds... Do they know Yan Qingshan, the god of heaven? There are many divine weapons created by this god, if they all know, then they won't mess around. So you don't know if you don't blame you, it's all because I'm low-key, I won't say it!"
Chi Yan talked endlessly, and Ze Huang listened with a black line on his face.
Only Bai Hua nodded instructively, then picked the back of his head, half-tilted his head to look at the sky, and sneered: "I see... However, if you don't say it, I really think you don't have a land, so you've been living in the Yunhai Bamboo Forest in the wilderness. ā
"Stay?!" Chi Yan staggered back, raising his hand and covering his head weakly.
"Ahem~"
I wanted to laugh, but I tried my best to restrain it. Ze Huang nodded slightly, and cleared his throat vigorously.
At this time, Chiyan turned his head to look at Ze Huang without giving up, and said aggrievedly: "Ze Huang, tell her quickly... Otherwise, when I come back in September, I told her to ignore you in the future. ā
Hearing this, Ze Huang's face changed suddenly.
"By the way, where did September go?"
It stands to reason that if it was September, they would have already run out to greet them at this time.
Chi Yan moved his steps and slowly moved to Bai Hua's side, and whispered, "He took the September Qi away..."
"Huh?!" Bai Hua's thin lips opened slightly, his eyes widened, and his voice was uncontrollably raised a few tones.
"Okay, don't waste time, let's go~"
Ze Huang stepped forward and grabbed Chi Yan's arm, his face was already gloomy.
"Ze Wilderness~"
Just as he pulled Chi Yan and wanted to leave, he heard Bai Hua call softly.
Ze Huang paused, turned his back to her, and said lightly: "Go down the water, at the end of the bamboo forest." ā
Hearing this, Bai Hua smiled knowingly, "Thank you..."
(iv)
At the end of the bamboo forest is a hillside overgrown with weeds.
On the hillside, the ghost is bathed in sunlight and meditates with his eyes closed. The warm sunlight enveloped his entire body, gilding him with a dazzling golden light.
And under a crooked-necked tree more than ten steps behind him, Bai Hua was already leaning against the tree, silently watching his back and sitting for a long time.
The mountain breeze is gentle, blowing grass and white wildflowers swaying in the wind.
After sitting for a long time, the person relaxed a little, and Bai Hua's eyelids sank.
"Xiaobai~" Just as the heavy eyelids were half-open and half-closed, a ghostly low voice came from his ears.
I hit a spirit, and I didn't feel sleepy. When Bai Hua wanted to get up and respond, it happened that a green snake with a thick arm suddenly hung upside down on the branch of the crooked neck tree.
"Ah!!" The green snake was frightened out of thin air, causing goosebumps all over Bai Hua's body.
I saw her suddenly rise to her feet, and without thinking about it, she ran towards the Netherworld.
Before the ghost could react, he was directly hugged by someone. However, this Bai Hua's momentum was full of momentum, and the soles of the Netherworld's feet standing on the edge of the hillside suddenly lost their roots.
Immediately afterward, the two rolled down the hillside uncontrollably. The next moment, Bai Hua only felt a tightness in his waist, and he didn't want to protect himself tightly in his arms, and at the same time, the familiar Suhe fragrance also lingered on the tip of his nose.
The sky is spinning, and the dizziness is extreme. By the time the two of them regained their senses, they had reached the bottom of the slope.
"Xiaobai~ Are you okay?"
The buzzing of his head continued, Bai Hua shook his head slightly, closed his eyes and eased his mind.
"Xiaobai~" Seeing that she hadn't answered for a long time, Netherworld called her again.
The buzzing sound that filled his ears gradually disappeared, Bai Hua nodded, and slowly opened his eyes again, "It's okay, I..."
As the voice stopped abruptly, the eyes that had regained their clarity also tightened suddenly.
At this time, the two of them were lying in a very ambiguous posture in the grass.
Bai Hua couldn't help but gasp, the flush on his face instantly jumped to his neck, and for a while, his whole body stiffened and he didn't know what to do.
A hint of astonishment flashed in his calm eyes, and the Netherworld reacted instantly, and then immediately stood up.
"If it's all right, get up. ā
After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Bai Hua again.
Following his white hand all the way up, Bai Hua looked at the netherworld standing against the light.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, ink hair and handsome face, soft and warm light sprinkled on his dark ink robe, a little halo.
At this moment, Bai Hua's brain 'buzzed', half of his body froze, and his heartbeat missed a beat.
Nether looked at her and asked softly, "What are you doing?!"
The divine sense pulled back, and the corners of Bai Hua's mouth unnaturally smiled slightly, and then slowly stretched out his hand and put it on his slightly trembling palm.
Bai Hua's eyes froze, and he silently withdrew his hand.
Nether's eyes were full of confusion and asked, "Don't want to get up?"
Hearing this, Bai Hua simply pretended to be lying on the grass, and said with a wicked smile: "Actually, it's quite comfortable to lie here." I was a little dizzy from the fall just now, otherwise we can take a break here, okay? Come on, you can try it while lying down, it's really comfortable. ā
As he spoke, Bai Hua patted the empty grass beside him again.
Netherworld sighed lightly, put his hand behind his back again, and said in a cold voice: "Nonsense~"
