Chapter 39: Three Buns
After three seconds of silence, Si Nian walked towards the city treasury.
He thought a lot in those three seconds.
What if Chai Rou is okay and blames himself again; What if she acted on her own initiative and ruined her plans; What if it was self-defeating and she hated herself even more.
But these thoughts flashed through him, and he suddenly remembered the bright smile on the face of the girl in colorful clothes when they met for the first time.
He knew that Chai Rou liked a powerful immortal in the Heavenly Palace, and he also knew that he was always looked down upon by her cowardly nature.
But the Snail Clan was born with a long lifespan, and after living in seclusion for so long, she was the first light to break into her own world.
Whether you look down on her or dislike it, you have to see with your own eyes if she is hurt.
Approaching the city treasury as fast as he could, looking at the guards running towards him, Si Nian did not hesitate at all, and the volute behind him emitted several strong rays of light.
"Phew!"
Several of the guards collapsed, blood gushing from the black hole in their chests.
This is the first time Si Nian has killed someone.
But he did not stop, and after glancing at the corpses on the ground, he immediately went to the city treasury.
The passage in the city library was very deep, and the sound of explosions and screams faintly came from the depths, and his delicate eyebrows were furrowed deeply, and his steps were even more anxious.
Suddenly, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and it seemed that I had entered the hall of a palace.
In the chaotic crowd, Si Nian saw at a glance the colorful clothed figure in mid-air that was about to be pierced by strong spiritual power.
His heart almost stopped beating at this moment, and the rapidly dilated pupils reflected the girl's pale face.
"Chasing Rou!"
Si Nian's body instantly ignited with a jade-colored halo, and he got up and pounced, blocking Chasing Rou in front of him at a swift speed.
At the same time, a strong spiritual power pierced through his chest and abdomen, and the spreading black quickly corroded his body.
"Sinian?" Chai Rou was both surprised and annoyed, "Why did you run here, didn't you say that you would wait outside?" ”
He couldn't make a sound at the moment, he only looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and black blood gradually flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Chai Rou's expression was grim: "Oh no, this spiritual power contains erosion spells. ”
Not far away, several guards dispersed, and a black-robed man walked out.
"Tsk, dare to break into the city treasury and destroy the heart of the world, you have a lot of courage."
His pupils were red, and he smiled weirdly: "Soon your partner will feel what it is like to live rather than die." ”
Chai Rou bit her lip and glanced down at Si Nian.
His eyes were a little dodgy, and the roots of his ears were red, but no matter how he looked, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, and he let Chairou help him to the ground in frustration.
The more Chai Rou looked at it, the more angry he became: "Who told you to be a hero if you don't have the ability, isn't it good to stay honest, you have to make trouble for me." ”
Hearing this, the last glimmer of light in the young man's eyes also faded.
Si Nian lowered his head and was silent for a moment, as if he was a little sad.
But he quickly raised his head and blinked: "I'm fine, I'm just afraid that you will be hurt." ”
Looking at the green tendons on his forehead bulging due to the pain, Chai Rou suddenly felt sore, put him down and stood up.
Facing the black-robed man with an expressionless face, she said coldly: "You are the mastermind behind the scenes?" You manipulated the orb to suck the souls of innocent people? ”
The man smiled and shook his head: "I don't have such great ability, and I do this for the sake of the entire Abyss City, otherwise what do you think we have to rely on to run such a huge city?" ”
Chai Rou sneered: "This city shouldn't exist in the first place, and it's damn to want to use such evil means to maintain it." ”
He suddenly laughed, waved back, and immediately a large number of guards rushed in.
"They want food and rice, and they are scrambling to get over, and we just made a deal."
The black-robed man smiled unabatedly: "Since you're here, don't go, I see that your soul power is extremely strong, these clansmen are gone, and you alone are enough to make up for our losses." ”
Si Nian on the ground immediately struggled to get up when he heard this, and staggered in front of Chai Rou.
His expression was serious, and his eyes did not dodge again: "Don't touch her." ”
The man raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest: "Strange race, it's a pity that you have already been killed by my soul devourer, and in a few hours, you will be killed by the power of soul devouring." ”
Chai Rou's face changed, and she immediately looked at Si Nian.
Si Nian's eyes did not have a trace of fear, his face was pale but he still looked at the black-robed man.
"I'm not afraid of death, you let her go, what soul power you want, I'll give it to you."
Chai Rou immediately retorted: "No, are you crazy?" ”
She looked hatefully at the black-robed man with a teasing face, then at the guards who were densely surrounding them, and gritted her teeth.
"Si Nian, I'll take you out!"
She reached out to help Si Nian, but he raised his hand to dodge it.
The young man stared at the black-robed man in front of him very seriously, his fairy green robe crumpled.
"This deal, can you do it, let her go."
The man in black smiled: "You are also in a near-death state now, there is no threat, why don't I arrest both of you?" ”
Si Nian suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and the volute behind him suddenly burst into inspiration.
"You can try, see if I will detonate the things behind me in the next second, in this way, I'm afraid we will be buried here together."
The black-robed man's face changed, but he immediately relaxed.
"Don't scare me, you won't, the woman you care about, but it's right next to you, if it blows up, then there's nothing."
A hint of madness flashed in Si Nian's always clear eyes.
He turned his head and looked at her seriously: "Since we can't escape, are you willing to die with me?" ”
Chai Rou was stunned, and only after a while did she tremble her lips and stare at Si Nian tightly.
"Are you crazy?"
Si Nian smiled and turned his head to look at the dense crowd around him.
"Yes, I'm crazy, with so many people buried with me, I definitely won't feel lonely."
The volute behind him was getting brighter and brighter, and the faces of the guards around him were already hesitant.
Everyone looked at the black-robed man, his face was blue at the moment, and he stared at Si Nian's expression tightly, not letting go of any subtle look.
It's a pity that the young man's face was full of resolute determination, and even a hint of relief.
In the dead silence, the black-robed man finally spoke, and he gritted his teeth and commanded.
"Let her go!"
Si Nian breathed a sigh of relief, slowly loosened his control over the volute behind him, he turned his head and winked at Chai Rou behind him, ignoring her angry appearance, and whispered.
"Let's go, I'm fine, the uncle of the bun shop at the West Street Entrance, I have already paid, and I asked him to leave three buns, you can go back to eat in a while, maybe it's still hot."
Chai Rou was shocked: "Why are you still thinking about buns at this time?" ”
Si Nian lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want to eat steamed buns, I'm afraid you're hungry, you haven't eaten for a long time......"
The voice was too low for Chai Rou to hear clearly.
At this time, she was not in the mood to distinguish, so she only frowned and refused: "I'm not leaving, it's my business, and I don't need you to save me." ”
Si Nian shook his head helplessly: "Don't be angry at this time, okay, if you don't leave, neither of us will be able to leave." ”
The black-robed man looked at it with a smile, and did not urge, only waved his hand to let his subordinates find a way.
Chai Rou gritted her teeth and glanced at the young man who was silently urging her, countless emotions flashed in her eyes, and finally whispered to Si Nian: "Then you hold on, wait for me to save you." ”
Si Nian smiled and nodded, watching her resolutely leave the back, and the corners of her mouth slowly fell.
A mouthful of jet-black blood spurted out of his mouth, and he looked down at the wound in his chest and abdomen that was gradually spreading, and his eyes were a little distracted.
The black-robed man pointed to the stone pillar with a smile and said to Si Nian, "Go ahead." ”
Chasing Rou, who ran out of the city treasury at this moment, was keenly aware that there were several guards following behind him.
Her heart was furious and angry, and she was even more angry when she thought of Si Nian, who was seriously injured and uncertain about her life and death.
She quickly turned into a laneway, and immediately condensed the remnants of spiritual power, quickly hiding her figure.
The guards who hurried after him searched again and again, but found nothing before leaving.
got rid of the tail behind him, and chased the soft for a long time before he came out.
I don't know how long I walked until a voice stopped me.
"Hey, the girl in the rainbow."
Chai Rou turned around in confusion, but saw that it was the previous stall owner who sold steamed buns.
"Your friend left three buns with me, saying that he would wait for you to come back later to eat together, why, didn't he come back with you?"
She was stunned for a moment, then whispered.
The stall owner was a little pity: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, the steamed buns are very good today, girl, take them." ”
He neatly picked up an oiled paper to wrap the last three buns in the cage and handed them to Chairou.
"It's still warm, and the girl eats it while it's hot. It's a pity that your friend can't eat it, and he always compliments me on how good it tastes. ”
Chai Rou hesitated and reached out to take the bun, and the slightly hot temperature came to her nose with a faint fragrance of face.
She took a bite, and the tender juice overflowed her mouth.
The stall owner looked expectant: "How's it going?" ”
Chai Rou nodded, but tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Really...... It's delicious. ”
At this time, Ah Feng was frowning and looking at the information about the Boundary Heart in his hand.
"This realm heart is very likely to be the body of the unvained water spirit, which can seize the power of the soul of the living to supply the operation of the city, which is also too mad."
She muttered to herself, and suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Realm Lord, Lord Lize, who guards the city treasury, asks to see you."
Ah Man's heart tightened, and he immediately recalled the information he had just read, this Lize was the guardian of the heart of the realm who was in direct contact, and he came late at night, afraid that something was wrong.
Thinking that something might happen to Wu Shui Spirit, she immediately sorted out her expression and said in a loud voice, "Come in." ”
A black-robed man entered in response and bowed deeply to Ah Man.
"Realm Lord, the city treasury was broken into today, and the heart of the realm was almost damaged."
Hearing this, Ah Feng immediately stood up and said in shock: "What? How is the heart of the world now? ”
The black-robed man was even more respectful: "Realm Lord, don't worry, there are two thieves, and we have seriously injured and captured one, and now the missing soul power is being supplied by this person." ”
Thinking that this unvained water spirit was still extracting the power of other people's souls, Ah Man shook his head hesitantly.
"No, don't let the heart of the world continue to draw for the time being, I'll go over early tomorrow morning and take a look."
The black-robed man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said urgently: "No, Realm Lord, once we stop offering to the Boundary Heart, we will definitely not be able to maintain it until the Floating Water Festival, and the Abyss City will fall into a deep sleep again." ”
"Do as I say." Ah Feng frowned, but did not back down at all.
The man gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and then remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Realm Lord, what should you do with that kid you caught today?" ”
Originally, I wanted to use the power of this kid's soul to make the boundary heart run more stable, but who knew that the world lord would order this.
Without waiting for the black-robed man to think too much, Ah Man replied lightly.
"Oh, you can do it."
