Chapter 32: Qing'er
When Zhong Lidao and his party came to the bronze gate under the leadership of Li Quan, all they saw was blood and water, twenty corpses separated from each other, and two people in a fierce fight.
Seeing that the woman was freed from the blood sword formation, Li Quan was first overjoyed, and then found that the woman was at a disadvantage in the fight with the red-haired man, and couldn't help but look worried.
"Strange, strange. Wei Guya recognized at a glance that the woman was the demon beast who had signed a contract with him, but after so many years, the woman's cultivation not only did not improve, but also decreased slightly, which made him puzzled.
"Qing'er, why has your strength regressed so much?" Wei Guya shouted at the woman.
When the woman heard someone call her by her real name, she raised her hand and two shots to force the red-haired man back, and then turned back to look at Wei Guya, and found that it was a strange woman who called her. Although this strange woman gave her a faint sense of familiarity, she was completely unimpressed by both her appearance and voice.
"Who are you, and how did you know my name?" Qing'er had just asked, when the red-haired man stepped forward again, forcing her to look back and parry.
"Mother, it's me! I'm getting taller!" Li Quan jumped up and waved at her.
"Quan'er, is it Quan'er? I thought you were given by this gang of thieves-" Qing'er has been enclosing herself in the ice crystals, unable to hear or see, and does not know that Li Quan has often come to see her over the years, at this time she and her daughter "reunited after a long absence", there was excitement in her forced calm tone, and said in a low voice, "It's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay." β
Qing'er's distraction was teleported by the red-haired man, and a sword was slashed on his back. Rao has a scaly body, and this powerful sword also makes her spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, boss, go and help my mother!" Seeing this, Li Quan hurriedly asked Zhong Lidao for help.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't let her have an accident. β
Zhong Lidao said, and the whole person suddenly disappeared in place.
"Qiangβ"
The red-haired man's sword that was chasing after him was suddenly intercepted halfway, and he turned his head to look at it in surprise, only to find that he couldn't see the cultivation realm of the person who took the sword at all.
"Who are you?" the red-haired man couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Lidao stepped on the spine of the giant sword, jumped past the red-haired man, guarded in front of Qing'er, and said lightly, "Naturally, it is the one who came to stop you." β
Qing'er looked at Zhong Lidao's back, and found that it overlapped with the lingering figure in her mind, and her nose suddenly became sore, and the tears that she had endured for a long time finally flowed.
If he were still alive, he would have guarded himself like this.
......
Qing'er still remembers that when she first met that person, she was sitting in the gap in the ruins and looking at the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, a human face poked out from above the gap, startling her.
"Hahaha-" The man smiled and rolled down the stone wall, tidied up his tattered robes, and saluted her with a fist, "In Xia Li Cheng, it is a casual cultivation, and by chance I got the information of the ruins here, how can I help the stone formation in front of me to be so powerful, I really can't break through, so I have to spend time to turn over the entire mountain, and finally find the gap here, is the girl the same as me, also here to seek opportunities?"
She warned this cultivator who was only in the Dan stage with a cold face: "I am the guardian of this cave mansion, if you dare to take a step in, I will kill you immediately!"
"Well, if you don't let you in, you won't get in. The man sat down cross-legged, looked at the sky and sighed, "The scenery here is really good, but I didn't expect the girl to be an elegant person." β
"You, you, what are you doing!" she said angrily, "I said I would kill you, why didn't you leave?"
"But I didn't go in, I just sat here, and the girl didn't have a reason to kill me. β
Seeing that the man looked like a scoundrel, she slammed his palm and pushed him off the cliff.
Listening to the man's screams echoing in the mountains, she thought that he had tasted the bitterness and would not come again.
She turned out to be wrong.
The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the same face she had seen last night.
"Hey, girl, morning. β
The man greeted her with a blue nose and swollen face, as if she was not the one who had pushed him off the cliff last night.
"Y-Why are you here again!"
She was shocked and annoyed, blaming herself for sleeping so deeply, and not knowing that she was approached in her dreams.
The man replied to her with a serious face: "When I climbed up last night, I found you lying here asleep, so I will keep watch over you here, otherwise you will be derelict in your duty if someone sneaks in." β
She snorted: "I don't believe you have such a good heart!"
The man's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be vicious: "You're right, in fact, I sneaked in and searched around while you were asleep, but I didn't find anything, so I stayed here, the purpose is to wait for you to wake up so that I can ask you where you have hidden those treasures." β
Hearing the man's answer, she couldn't help laughing, and laughed: "Little Yudan, he also said that he wanted to ask me." What if I don't say it? What are you going to do?"
The man scratched his head: "If you don't say it, I'll take you back as a wife!"
This was the first time someone had talked to her about such a bold topic in front of her, which made her extremely shy, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and pushed the person down with another palm.
After pushing this palm, she regretted it, but she couldn't step out of the cave, so she had to look at the blurred figure that fell quickly on the edge of the gap, hoping that she would not fall to her death.
By the time the man climbed up again, it would be a day later.
"I'm sorry, girl, my magic weapon was destroyed when I broke into that stone henge, otherwise I could have flown up to you earlier, and I made you wait for me for so long. β
"Who's waiting for you? I was just...... It's just a matter of seeing the scenery here, and as you said, the scenery here is good. She whispered as she quietly erased the graffiti she had carved haphazardly to pass the time of boredom.
"Although the scenery is good, it is half a point inferior to the people who see it. The man grinned, "I wonder what to call this girl who is more beautiful than the scenery?"
"I'm a monster, not a human, and I don't have a name. β
I don't know why, these words that shouldn't have been revealed to outsiders, she actually said it. After finishing speaking, she felt that she was too impulsive, and it was too late to take back what she said, so she had to carefully observe the other party's expression, worried that the other party would show a disgusted expression.
However, the man was only stunned for a moment, and did not show the slightest expression of resistance or disgust.
"Why doesn't the monster have a name? You don't treat me as your own, and you don't want to tell me, right?"
Feeling that the other party did not deliberately alienate her, she was very happy in her heart: "The master called me Qing'er, I don't think it sounds good, so I don't have a name." β
"No, the name Qing'er is very in line with your temperament, so I'll just call you Qing'er. The man muttered, "In the future, if we have a child, we will call him Quan'er, clear spring, clear spring, clear spring water, how wonderful." β
"Phew, who wants to have a baby with you!" Qing'er feigned annoyance and raised her palm.
"Don't do it, don't do it, can't I jump by myself?" the man turned his head and jumped off the cliff himself.
