Chapter 42: As promised
When Mu Sanniang opened her eyes again, it was pitch black in front of her.
The darkness was so thick that even as a monk, it took her a while to get used to it, and she could barely make out the rough idea.
As far as the eye can see, there is a rough rock wall with a faint cold light.
She stretched out her hand, but her fingers were missing.
Under my feet, there was a soft and muddy touch.
Immediately afterwards, a breath that was far colder than that on the outside was several times colder, from the bottom up, into the body.
Mu Sanniang subconsciously shuddered.
She frowned, and activated the One Yuan Soul Eater Method.
At the same time, the mysterious black knife felt the call of its master and appeared out of thin air, slowly condensing the knife shape.
The girl reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife.
The cold and stiff feel brought Mu Sanniang a little sense of security.
In the midst of the sea of knowledge, a familiar old voice sounded.
The old woman's tone seemed to be a little excited.
"I feel it, I feel it!"
"There are so many souls, everywhere, waiting for us to harvest ......"
She muttered, her tone a little frantic.
Mu Sanniang frowned tightly, her spirit tensed, and she didn't say anything in agreement.
She carefully shifted her steps and began to explore the depths.
And above the girl's head, there was a faint scarlet vertical pupil, which quietly opened her eyes.
In the next moment, a fierce and piercing scream pierced the air, and at the same time, there was a cold light on the sharp claws.
The girl's eyes froze, and she didn't have time to dodge, but she relied on her fighting instinct to subconsciously swing the knife.
The black knife was lifted from the bottom up, drawing a graceful arc, and the sound of a golden cross in the darkness was heard.
After a short confrontation, Mu Sanniang's body jumped lightly and quickly took a few steps back.
And the place where the battle just took place is silent at the moment, and even quiet makes people palpitate.
The cave reverted to its deathly silence once again.
Tick, tick.
The girl's white wrist was cut open by the claws and a narrow gap.
There was scarlet blood, dripping slowly down his wrist.
As a result, those pale blue eyes began to slowly be infected by scarlet.
……
……
The next day, Tianxuan Peak.
"Perhaps, it's time for you to wake up."
Sitting on the futon, thinking about the words of the system last night, Chen An was a little silent.
He felt inexplicably upset for a while, so he ended his practice and stood up.
Walking out of the cave, the sunlight sprinkled on his body, bringing a warm touch, which made Chen An squint.
In his life, he didn't have much pursuit, and most of his cultivation was just following the trend.
In the sect, he didn't deliberately make friends with his peers, and he was just casual.
And in my spare time, I basically went to my sister to play.
Now that Mu Sanniang is not here, and he doesn't want to practice alone, he really doesn't know what he can do for a while.
"You look like you're in a bad mood?"
On the trees on the side, a familiar coquettish female voice came from.
Chen An raised his head and saw Jiang Qiuchi sitting on the extended branch with a smile.
The red dress on her body hung down, covering a large area of snow-white skin.
Only the bare feet under the skirt sway along the calves at will, and under the sun, it looks very eye-catching.
Chen An also noticed that at the girl's ankle, there was an extra golden bracelet today, and I don't know when she wore it.
He was not in high spirits, and waved his hand perfunctorily, which was counted as a response.
Then the boy took a step and went to lie down under the tree.
He rested his hands behind his head, his eyes wandering around unconsciously.
The breeze blows, taking away the heat of the hot season.
The boy didn't know what he was thinking, but he was stunned.
On the tree, seeing Chen An's reaction, Jiang Qiuchi was stunned.
In my impression, it is rare to see him showing such a depressed appearance.
Her dangling calves stopped, and the jade finger was pointed to her lips, tilting her head, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
She smiled and said, "Na Na Na, if there is anything unhappy, you can tell my sister about it." ”
Hearing this, Chen An raised his eyes slightly.
He looked weak, "What, you want to be a confidant big sister and enlighten me?" ”
I didn't think that the girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and then replied: "Who wants to enlighten this nerd, of course, is to express your unhappiness, and make my sister and me happy." ”
When the girl finished speaking, she seemed to be happy with her little teasing, and Kuku couldn't stop laughing.
Chen An twitched.
"Boring."
He said casually.
However, being interrupted by Jiang Qiuchi like this, his mood did dissipate a lot.
He thought to himself, although the demon girl often said that she was a girl with a good family, but after actually getting along, she didn't feel how mature and stable she was.
She always likes to play some boring tricks, which makes it easy for Chen An to ignore her age.
Of course, it is very likely that she deliberately pretended to do so.
Chen Anzheng was thinking wildly when he heard a urging voice from above.
"Hey, nerd, talk about it."
Chen An pillowed his head and leaned back, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you believe in fate?" ”
Jiang Qiuchi was stunned by his question, and subconsciously repeated it.
"Fate?"
Chen An snorted, "Well, fate." ”
The girl in the red dress moved her eyes slightly, and asked rhetorically, "What is fate?" ”
These words made Chen An a little stumped.
He narrowed his eyes, "It probably means that a person's life has been predetermined a long time ago." ”
As soon as the boy finished speaking, he shook his head again and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"No, it's too one-sided, forget it, there's no point in thinking about this now."
His dilated pupils refocused, and then, as if he had suddenly seen something, his eyes froze.
Jiang Qiuchi was looking at him with his head down, and when he saw the young man's reaction, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The young man's tone seemed to be a little surprised, "I thought it would be red, but it turned out to be white?" ”
His words jumped too fast, Jiang Qiuchi couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and just asked a little dumbly.
"What white?"
But soon, she who had read countless books immediately reacted, and there was a rare blush on her white cheeks.
She spat in a low voice, and the bare feet under the red dress also arched slightly.
The next moment, a mottled leaf fell from above, driven by the spiritual power attached to it, and accurately covered the young man's eyes.
When Chen An slowly took the leaves away, he saw that the trees were still there, but there was still the shadow of the red dress.
The corners of the young man's mouth couldn't help but be a little raised.
He thought to himself, probably because of his long-term love, even looking at this demon girl began to slowly become pleasing to the eye.
……
……
Seven days later.
On the Xuanfeng Prison, Chen An arrived as promised.
He came early, standing silently in the position where he was separated from his sister last time.
It wasn't until near evening, when the evening breeze swept up the yellow sand on the ground, that the boy smiled.
Because just at the entrance of the cave in front of her, the slender figure of the girl slowly appeared.
And so it was.
