Chen Jinggu looked at the somewhat annoyed Ning Wan, his eyes darkening. With a slight movement of his hand, he pressed Ning Wan's head against his chest, and his other hand fell on her waist. "Don't you know who you chose yourself, Junior Sister?"

She chose the man herself and she took the initiative to ask for the engagement. Isn't it too late to ask him what he thinks of her?

Did she think that he was some upright gentleman who could remain calm in the face of temptation, a monk who had changed his ways and had no improper thoughts about her, and that he just wanted to gain a status?

Since he agreed to the engagement, he was naturally prepared to confirm it.

Shen Jinggu's tone was calm, but it contained a hint of accusation, as if he was accusing Ning Wan of forgetting his identity.

Ning Wan's forehead was forced to rest against Shen Jinggu's chest, listening to the clear heartbeat. After a moment's thought, she whispered with a guilty conscience, "But they all said that you would end your engagement with me sooner or later..."

Ning Wan clearly felt that Chen Jinggu's body stiffened for a moment, and even the heartbeat in his ear sped up for a short time.

She raised her head from Shen Jinggu's arms as if she had caught some evidence. Just as she was about to accuse him, Shen Jinggu lowered his head and his warm breath sprayed on her neck.

Ning Wan subconsciously wanted to shrink back after realizing the danger, but her resistance was completely inadequate in front of Shen Jinggu. The hand holding her waist tightened slightly, and she heard Shen Jinggu's extremely concise two words in her ears, "No."

In the dark night, Ning Wan couldn't understand why Chen Jinggu's eyesight was so good, nor could she understand why Chen Jinggu's lung capacity was so extraordinary. After an unknown amount of time, Ning Wan felt her feet go weak. If Chen Jinggu hadn't grabbed her waist, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Junior sister doesn't seem to believe me?" Chen Jinggu's fingertips fell on Ning Wan's lips. Looking at the red color that was brighter than lip balm, his eyes became a little darker.

Ning Wan no longer cared about Chen Jinggu's hand and shook her head hurriedly. With his method of proof, she was really afraid that if she said "I don't believe it", this person would do something even more outrageous the next second.

He reached out and restrained Shen Jinggu's rebellious hand, and finally opened his mouth smoothly.

"I believe it. I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted my senior brother because of what others said." Ning Wan knew how to give in. She didn't want to waste time on proof.

Chen Jinggu was afraid that this was not what she meant. Looking at the three fingers held by Ning Wan, his throat rolled over, "Don't blame Junior Sister, it's those people who shouldn't talk nonsense in front of Junior Sister."

He had heard of those things, but unfortunately those flies only dared to chirp in the dark. If he knew who they were, he would have taught them a lesson long ago.

Ning Wan, who was already a little nervous, suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if she was being stared at by something dirty.

Ning Wan couldn't help but look up, but it was dark and she couldn't see anything. Just when she was thinking about whether to look for the night pearl in the storage ring, Chen Jinggu's fingertips fell on her eyebrows again.

Night vision is not a difficult skill for those who practice Taoism, but his fiancée obviously doesn't think so.

Ning Wan only felt a slight heat in her eyes, and the next moment she clearly saw Chen Jinggu's face and those deep eyes.

"Can you see clearly?" Chen Jinggu now seemed like the humble and polite gentleman that everyone talked about. Ning Wan couldn't find any fault with his low-pitched questioning tone.

Ning Wan nodded subconsciously, but couldn't help but glance elsewhere.

It was difficult for her to describe the scenery in her vision. It was different from the colorful scenery in the daytime, but it was not completely black and white.

"Junior sister, you should still remember what you promised me before, right?" Chen Jing looked at Ning Wan, who seemed to have obtained something rare. He felt a slight headache, but he didn't want to discourage her too much.

"I remember, I remember." Ning Wan's tone was extremely serious, but she thought in her heart: No matter what he was talking about, she would definitely be right to answer that she remembered.

Xiao Qi, who accidentally learned the truth: ... Is this really possible?

The next moment, Shen Jinggu's attitude gave Xiao Qi an answer: It really is possible.

Shen Jinggu didn't ask any more questions, but after a moment of silence, he let go.

He walked in front of Ning Wan, causing the monsters that wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ning Wan to hide for a moment.

If Ning Wan was alone, they wouldn't have worried too much, but now there was another person, Shen Jinggu, who had dealt with the tree monster in one move, so they naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

Chen Jinggu was obviously suspicious of the hunter and was well prepared. He followed the trace of spiritual power left on the hunter and found his yard.

The moment he approached the yard, Shen Jinggu keenly felt that something was wrong, but when he used his spiritual power to explore the yard in front of him, he did not find anything unusual.

Ning Wan looked at Shen Jinggu, whose face was slightly gloomy. Knowing his doubts, he took out the demon-imprisoning bead in his hand and said softly, "Brother, it has reacted."

Chen Jinggu looked at the Demon Prisoner Pearl in Ning Wan's palm, which had changed color slightly, and his expression changed slightly, "In the daytime, it also..."

"Yeah." Before Shen Jinggu finished speaking, Ning Wan responded softly, confirming Shen Jinggu's guess.

Chen Jinggu raised his eyes, and finally understood why Ning Wan was here, and also knew Ning Wan's real purpose. After thinking about it, he finally spoke, but his tone was full of helplessness:

"Junior sister, there's no need to prove yourself in this way."

"It's too dangerous. Junior Sister, do you know what will happen if you make a mistake?"

Ning Wan was a little confused. She took out the bead just to tell Chen Jinggu that there was definitely something wrong with this yard and told him not to take it lightly, not to prove herself.

"Those monsters love beautiful skins like Junior Sister's the most. They will first absorb your essence, then devour your flesh and blood, and finally merge with your skin and use your body to do things they desire."

Shen Jinggu was immersed in his own world, treating Ning Wan as an innocent little girl. He clearly just wanted to educate Ning Wan about the terrifying aspects of those monsters, but when he blurted out his words, they seemed to turn into threats.

Ning Wan couldn't help herself. After putting the bead back into the storage ring, she reached out and covered Shen Jinggu's mouth, fearing that he would say something shocking again.

"Senior brother, you will protect me, right?" She tiptoed slightly, with just the right amount of fear in her eyes, as if she was frightened and wanted to seek some kind of shelter.

In fact, she didn't need to be afraid, because Xiaoqi had already told her just now.

Chen Jinggu was trying to scare her on purpose. Not all monsters like to scrape people's skin. Most of them keep the person as a long-term source of their energy.

The moment Xiao Qi finished speaking, she knew what Shen Jinggu was thinking.

But she didn't intend to expose it. An idea slowly formed in her mind: she wanted to know if he would really protect her until death as he said...
