Chapter 51051 I Want to Eat Her

Zhuang Rong'er stood there in a daze.

She forgot to struggle until the hands on her waist held her tighter.

Being hugged tightly should bring warmth and security, but when she pressed her back against the other person's, she could only feel the coldness.

"I……"

The panting sound beside her ears seemed to gradually subside, and she could vaguely hear some words coming out of his mouth, but Zhuang Rong'er didn't dare to listen.

She finally used her spiritual power to break free from the embrace, then turned around and took three steps back, slamming the snake bone whip in her hand to the ground.

Her attack startled the ghostly bats that were stationed around the stone wall, causing them to scatter and fly around in panic. The person hidden in the flickering bat shadows was her Ah Huai.

Ah Huai looks different from before.

His complexion, already very fair, now looked even paler.

Dark red became a permanent color in his already beautiful, almost inhuman eyes, making him look like a born demon.

He looked at her gravely, her shadow reflected in his red eyes. His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped, revealing his sharp fangs between his teeth.

His clothes were torn apart by the struggle and tilted to the other side, but he did not look embarrassed. It seemed that he did not become like this in an instant, but was born to be such a bewitching and dangerous demon.

Having his sharp teeth pierce your skin will probably bring not only pain, but also some other desires.

Even if the butterfly left by the tattoo was still resting on his shoulder, even if he did not show the beastly state of having completely lost his mind, even if his eyes clearly told her that he recognized her and that he still retained the mind that belonged to Ah Huai, it could not make Zhuang Rong'er feel more at ease.

Her heart sank so much that her limbs became weak, and the snake-bone whip in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She had already lost Jing Huai once, and now even Ah Huai had become incorruptible.

Not being able to decay bones means being an extremely evil zombie that has transcended the five forms.

Why did he become like this?

Why didn't he, an ordinary person, become a living dead like other ordinary people infected with corpse poison, but instead became a more mysterious and evil incorruptible bone?

How should she face him? How should she deal with him?

Should she escape like a normal monk, or subdue him?

Zhuang Rong'er was completely confused.

At this time, Ah Huai was still approaching her. She just swung the snake bone whip in her hand lightly and then let go of it with loss of strength.

"…What's wrong with me?"

Ah Huai's low and hoarse voice sounded. He also understood that unusual changes had taken place in himself. He was different from those living dead in Hanzhou. His behavior after being infected with the corpse poison made him feel out of control.

A fierce hunger had erupted within him, and he knew there was only one thing that could fill the aching emptiness within him.

His action of hugging Zhuang Rong'er was completely instinctive, and his action of letting her go was rational.

He was afraid to see Zhuang Rong'er's strange eyes, and he didn't want to hear the judgment of being eliminated from her mouth.

“…”

Silence, a long silence.

Zhuang Rong'er stared at him without blinking, the snake-bone whip lying across the ground between them. She couldn't answer his question.

Ah Huai could always smell the extremely seductive scent coming from her, which always tempted him to get closer, until he touched her neck and drank her sweet blood - but he always just stood there.

“…Nothing happened.”

Zhuang Rong'er slowly pronounced the verdict. She looked into Ah Huai's eyes and simply said, "You're fine."

Even if it turns into incorruptible bones...it doesn't matter.

She would tie up Ah Huai and feed him more blood with her own hands so that he would stay by her side forever.

Not decaying bones means eternal life, so what if you become a demon?

Zhuang Rong'er opened her palms in a daze, and the snake bone whip on the ground rose into the air on its own and returned to her hands.

“…”

Perhaps it was because her eyes looked so focused that it was terrifying, Ah Huai took half a step back.

He knew that Zhuang Rong'er was trying to cover up the truth.

What she said was clearly what he longed to hear, but he knew very well that it was not the case.

...He has become a threat to her safety.

Why not give up on him?

Different from every previous sour feeling, the pain felt by his mutated heart had probably also undergone the processing of mutation.

Hundreds of ghostly bats swarmed in from all directions, layer upon layer, and actually wrapped him up completely.

The black tide swirled and gathered like a whirlpool, and in an instant, the figure was completely swallowed up, without even a trace of the corner of his clothes being exposed.

Zhuang Rong'er was anxious, she knew that Ah Huai was no longer the ordinary person he used to be. He had some ability that made his bones incorruptible. He wanted to leave and disappear.

She rushed forward, and the group of ghost bats collapsed like mist because of her intrusion. These groups of monsters scattered and flew into the cracks in the cave walls.

The ground was empty, as if the man had never existed. Only a few strands of black fluff fell lightly to the ground, and everything returned to silence.

Ah Huai suddenly disappeared, and in an instant she could no longer see him.

But he would not leave the Soul Burial Cave, he just hid in a complicated fork in the road.

Zhuang Rong'er wanted to chase in the direction with the heaviest yin energy, but the dark butterflies as dazzling as starlight flew past her side, blocking her path.

She waved her hand and dispersed the flock of butterflies, but when they dispersed, the original path became a stone wall.

The structure in the cave has been altered.

Ah Huai was determined to escape.

After he turned into an incorruptible bone, he wanted to eat her, but he escaped.

He did something that went against his instinct to not decay, just as Zhuang Rong'er made a decision that went against her identity as a monk - she would find him, and no matter what he became, she would not let him leave her.

Zhuang Rong'er stared fixedly at the blocked stone slab in front of her. She did not move, but the overflowing spiritual energy in an instant had burned all the remaining ghosts here to ashes.

She couldn't give chase right away.

The drowsiness in her brain, which had never stopped, was getting worse, as if a thin layer of fog had obscured her vision.

Zhuang Rong'er's expression did not change. She sat down where she was and closed her eyes.

Compared with Ah Huai's transformation into an incorruptible bone, her own condition at this moment was exactly what she expected.

She allowed the spiritual energy to flow into Ah Huai's body and came into contact with his wound completely freely, without ever fearing the moment of infection.

At this moment, the increasingly strong corpse poison was like a ferocious beast lurking deep in her blood, struggling violently and constantly tearing at her consciousness.

But she didn't think she would be knocked down.

Even if it wasn't a poison, she was used to this kind of physical pain, and even more used to diluting the pain.

The spiritual energy began to slowly gather, forming a faint circle of light that isolated her from the surrounding world.

Zhuang Rong'er entered into a state of meditation deep in the cave.

When she opens her eyes again, perhaps everything will return to normal.

…

Shui Wu was awakened by an undeniable fishy smell.

When she opened her eyes, she couldn't recognize the furry thing resting on her stomach at first.

After reacting silently for two or three seconds, she shot up with a scream: "Ahhhhh it's a bat! Get out of here!"

She got goose bumps all over her body, and she couldn't help jumping up and flailing her limbs wildly, even wanting to burn her clothes.

This commotion also woke up Lu Baozhen, who had fainted beside her.

"Hiss..." Lu Baozhen held her forehead and sat up, grinning for a long time before taking in her surroundings again. "Miss Shui, where are we now?"

"The secret realm has collapsed. We should be inside Wanjian Mountain! Damn it, it feels like we've fallen into a trap!" Shui Wu gasped in anger and punched the stone wall next to him. "I really want to blow this rotten place up!"

“…”

Lu Baozhen couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"Don't be afraid, little sister Zhen. I will never leave you alone and run away." Shui Wu raised her hand and touched the red pendant around her neck, gritting her teeth and saying, "I am also a powerful cultivator who stands tall and proud. Just hide behind me! No matter what demons and monsters there are, I will definitely defeat them all!"

When Shui Wu finished her harsh words, she suddenly shuddered.

"Why is this place so cold?"

She felt the chilling air spreading from the darkness, and couldn't help but turn her head to look towards the fork in the road deep in the cave.

Faintly catching a glimpse of a green light flashing inside, she nervously said, "Oh no!" Sure enough, the next second a green-eyed wolf with bristling hair jumped out, howling and leaping in front of them - a common monster called the Nether Wolf, which feeds on human flesh and corpses. Although only one was seen at the moment, they often appear in groups.

Lu Baozhen turned around in a daze. Just when the Nether Wolf's fangs were about to tear her face apart, a circular arc of silver light broke through the air and hit her with difficulty. Although it failed to hit the wolf's head at once, it made it deviate from its original attack route while dodging.

"Snap—" The sound of the silver bracelet falling to the ground attracted the Nether Wolf's attention. It regarded this as a provocation and immediately shifted its ferocious gaze to Shui Wu, who had thrown the silver bracelet at him.

Shui Wu was breathing rapidly, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her fingertips were trembling slightly, but she tried to pretend to be calm. She raised her hand, and silver light swirled in the air and fell steadily back into her hand. She immediately took out a round mirror from her chest.

Fortunately, she really brought a lot of life-saving magic weapons with her this time, so she was not at a disadvantage when dealing with this half-intelligent monster.

The mirror reflected the face of the Nether Wolf, and the pair of ferocious green eyes suddenly flashed, and then tears of blood flowed down. The Nether Wolf let out a manic roar, rolled on the ground for a few times, and then gathered its strength to pounce again.

Shui Wu gritted her teeth and shook her wrist. Driven by spiritual power, the silver bracelet turned into a weapon again and spun towards the wolf head.

This strike was much more accurate than the previous one, glancing directly across the wolf's neck and leaving a deep scratch on its fur.

The Nether Wolf howled in pain, shook its head and charged forward. This time, its attack was even more fierce than before. Shui Wu couldn't dodge in time and was approached by it. Its sharp claws almost tore her clothes apart.

She retreated in a hurry, and even forgot the magic formula in her desperation. She screamed and hit the head of the Nether Wolf with the silver bracelet in her hand. But at the moment when the wolf opened its mouth and the fishy smell hit her face, a cold light flashed, and then a sharp sword flew out from the darkness and pierced the wolf's head, nailing it deeply into the rock wall.

"Ah--!" The Nether Wolf let out a shrill howl and struggled violently a few times. Its green eyes gradually dimmed, and the blood slowly seeping out from the wound stained half of the stone wall. It finally stopped moving and died.

Shui Wu stood there in a daze, her chest heaving violently, almost forgetting to breathe.

She couldn't even hear someone walking slowly towards them until he walked in front of them. He held the scabbard in his hand and reached out to pull out the long sword that was nailed to the wolf's corpse. It was obvious that he was the one who had just rescued them. Shui Wu looked away in surprise after she recognized him clearly.

He was a tall and thin man in his thirties or forties, with an angular face, sharp lines, and slightly messy long black hair.

He looked exactly like Shui Wu's stereotypical image of a swordsman, and his temperament was no different at all, he was a decent gentleman.

But... it looks so familiar.

Shui Wu stared at this person blankly, and belatedly recognized that this was Li Ruohui, the leader of Wanjian Mountain!

"Senior Li Ruohui?" She asked before she could think clearly, "Why are you here? What on earth is this place?"

Li Ruohui's expression didn't fluctuate slightly until she called his name.

But he actually chose to step back and distance himself from the water, looked at them deeply, and turned to leave.

"No, where are you going? Send us out first!"

Shui Wu grabbed Lu Baozhen and tried to chase after her with others.

She totally didn't understand why Li Ruohui behaved like this after saving someone?

Shouldn't he have realized that something went wrong with their Dongtian Dao in Wanjian Mountain and come to remedy the situation?

Why didn't you even apologize? And you weren't going to take them out?

"Miss Shui... who is that?" Lu Baozhen was dragged along by her, running behind her, panting, her voice trembling. "Why do I see... his eyes are a little red?"

As soon as she asked the question, Shui Wu stopped abruptly.

In fact, she also noticed that Li Ruohui was not the same as the portrait in her memory. The difference was the difference in eye color.

But what did this mean? She had no idea.

"I don't know. Maybe he feels guilty and hasn't slept for several days, which made him look so haggard!" Shui Wu's voice became weaker as she finished speaking. Her brows were tightly furrowed. Her intuition told her that there was indeed something wrong with Li Ruohui, so... should she continue to pursue him?
