Chapter 539 Next Stop (6)

After the lucky audience has made their selection.

Qiao Xi washed up and went to bed to rest. The daily live broadcast room was also closed amid the regrets of the audience. In the dark room with the lights turned off, Qiao Xi lay on the soft bed without any sleepiness.

It was eerily quiet all around.

It was so smooth that I didn't feel like I was sleeping on the train. I couldn't even hear the constant humming of the machinery.

Silence.

It was as if all the rustling noises had disappeared.

The air seemed to be gradually being sucked out of the room, and a chilling chill gradually seeped into the room. Qiao Xi also keenly noticed at this moment that a cold north wind seemed to be howling outside the window.

The howling sound of wind scraping against the car windows.

It was like the shrill, broken cry of a baby, sharp enough to penetrate the eardrum.

"Click, click—"

It was like someone was scratching the door, trying to push it open. The door was pushed open a few times and then closed again, making intermittent sounds.

It lasted for quite a while.

Qiao Xi lay on the soft bed without opening her eyes, listening carefully to the movement beside her ears. The sound of the door opening became more and more violent, and finally with a "creak", the door of her room was pushed open.

The cold seemed to have found a way in.

It surged in like a tide, instantly causing the temperature in the room to plummet. The air began to grow turbid and sticky, as if something was trying to squeeze in, and the sound of it squeezing and rubbing against the doorframe became increasingly harsh.

A strange crackling sound was heard.

It's like an electric current, but not necessarily an electric current. It seems to be trying to convey some kind of message.

However, Qiao Xi didn't have the mind to explore it now.

She lay in bed in the darkness, feeling the source of the chill drawing ever closer. The chill surged around her, dropping below freezing in an instant. An ordinary person would have frozen to death long ago.

Then--

"Pah."

Something fell, or rather, something approached, a damp, hard body, cold and devoid of any warmth.

Qiao Xi opened her eyes.

Soon, the dark shadow was caught in the darkness.

It had no mouth, nose, ears, or eyes, but only six legs and four wings. After a moment of surprise, Qiao Xi quickly connected it with Hun Dun, one of the Four Ancient Evils. They weren't exactly alike; they were practically identical.

but……

The atmosphere is completely different.

The creature, like a giant ball of flesh, pressed against her, squeezing the narrow space, couldn't even stretch its wings. Its wings fell into the cold water, and wisps of black air could be vaguely seen lingering above them.

Like chains wrapped around wings.

This creature probably shrunk its size, but even so, Qiao Xi still felt a heavy and suffocating feeling as if being pressed by a mountain.

It didn't move at all.

But Qiao Xi had a feeling that it was staring at her.

What is this doing?

Want to accompany you?

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi stretched her hand out from under the quilt. The creature was completely pressing on her through the quilt, a bit like it was lying down and taking a nap.

only.

What Qiao Xi felt from it was a very subtle aura.

She raised her hand and touched something icy and bone-chilling. It felt stiff, but actually felt a little soft. But the feel was more like frozen meat that was just beginning to thaw.

And when she reached out and touched the creature.

Qiao Xi also clearly felt that the creature seemed to have paused, slightly stretching its huge wings and leaning back slightly, as if it was surprised?

Very wonderful reaction.

Before Qiao Xi could retract her hand, the black shadow that covered her entire vision suddenly shrank at this moment, as if some reaction was triggered.

The weight on my body suddenly lightened.

The original creature that was very similar to Chaos disappeared, and was replaced by.

It was a handsome young man whom I didn't know.

He was wearing a Chinese-style long gown and jacket, which was very similar to the style of the Republic of China era that Qiao Xi had learned about.

only.

His red-gold hair was unrestrained and unruly, adding a touch of arrogance and evil that disregarded the constraints of the law. His long hair was tied into a long braid.

He pressed on Qiao Xi.

The braid slipped down from his strong shoulders, making his gilded vertical pupils, which appeared particularly sharp in the darkness, look even colder.

It looks like a dragon's eye.

Qiao Xi's wrist had been clamped by the cold-blooded young man in front of her at some point, and was pressed firmly on the soft bed.

The man lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her disdainfully.

There was no emotion on his stern face, except for his dazzling golden pupils, which seemed to be examining something. His gaze wandered freely in the darkness, lingering on Qiao Xi's body.

The girl was also stunned for a moment.

"Are you... Dijiang?"

After coming to her senses, she hesitated to speak so tentatively.

As expected.

When Qiao Xi finished speaking, the pupils of the person who was restraining her in front of her shrank slightly, as if he was a little surprised that Qiao Xi could recognize his identity.

Then.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

It seems like he is smiling?

However, the depths of those captivating eyes were still filled with an unfathomable weirdness and coldness, and the ends of her hanging braids accidentally touched Qiao Xi's neck.

However.

I couldn't feel the normal texture of hair.

While feeling a little itchy, Qiao Xi felt as if something sharp and cold was pressing against her neck.

Dijiang seems to be even more dangerous, even in his current human form.

It's just a visual deception.

It's just a temporary illusion.

He didn't say anything, and his lowered eyelids obscured his sinister pupils. While still controlling Qiao Xi's wrist, he leaned down.

Just like before.

He pressed his entire body on top of her, and there was no more movement.

“……?”

Qiao Xi felt a little strange and was trying to push him away a little, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, Dijiang's voice came the next second.

It came right next to my ear.

"Just like that, don't move." The lazy voice was magnetic, but it sounded a little listless, as if it didn't have much interest.

but.

The weight on Qiao Xi was much lighter.

Compared with the previous feeling of oppression as heavy as a mountain, this weight can now be ignored.

I noticed that he had no intention of moving.

Qiao Xi had no choice but to try to see if she could continue communicating.

"You're so cold, why are you so close to me?"

Even if it's just companionship.

But this situation has completely gone beyond ordinary companionship, right? Is there any companionship that goes to this extent, directly to the bed?

Maybe he also saw what she was thinking.

Dijiang's voice came slowly and calmly.

"like."

There were only two simple words, and his casual voice remained as lazy as ever, after a slight pause.

He continued.

"You have a nice warm scent that can relieve my evil."

Said so.

He probably also knew that the aura he exuded was unbearable for Qiao Xi.

so.

After the girl said that he was too cold, Dijiang also restrained the aura lingering around him.

He liked the scent of Qiao Xi very much.

The ocean is as warm and golden as the sea.

Most kind people have it, but even if they do, it is very weak. The power of an ordinary person is ultimately limited.

But the aura emanating from Qiao Xi was far beyond the normal level.

so.

He likes it very much.

"I see..."

Qiao Xi was silent, perhaps knowing what Di Jiang was referring to. Perhaps it was the golden light of merit that radiated from her body.

This is something like luck.

In fact, it is very mysterious.

Ordinary people cannot feel it, but this kind of luck can be accumulated slowly as you do good deeds, and then manifested in your daily life.

To put it simply.

That is what people often say, good people will be rewarded.

Only those who practice cultivation know how important the golden light of merit is.

Luck.

It also represents whether the future immortal journey will be smooth. If one is unlucky, he will do too many bad things.

Even if it is just a small advancement in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

They may die suddenly, or become possessed and become disabled.

Like the four ferocious beasts are afraid of the golden light of merit.

I am also afraid of those who have done great good deeds for ten generations. These people have great luck and merits far beyond ordinary people, and they must not be provoked.

The evil beasts bring terrible consequences.

The evil deeds committed in ancient times were extremely serious. Once they come into contact with the golden light of merit, they will die faster and suffer more severe backlash.

so.

Like Qiongqi and the others in the past, they were the reincarnations of residual souls who had experienced tribulations. They wanted to do some good deeds to pay off the sins they committed in ancient times, so they created a new independent small world to carry out related activities.

Now this...

It’s a bit hard to explain.

Dijiang is not a vicious beast, but a god in ancient mythology.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: There is a god, whose shape is like a yellow bag, red as cinnabar fire, six legs and four wings, round and without face, but he knows how to sing and dance, and it is actually Emperor Jiang.

It is very similar to a version of Chaos, one of the four evil spirits.

It's no exaggeration to say they are exactly the same.

Therefore, there are many people who mistake Dijiang for Hun Dun, and this saying also exists.

But now Qiao Xi saw it.

It was indeed very similar to the chaos that Qiao Xi had seen before. From the appearance, there were only some minor differences.

But for Qiao Xi.

It is still possible to distinguish that the aura of Dijiang and Hun Dun are completely different.

There is no such overwhelming evil spirit.

There is no such fierce power as being cursed and punished, which is intolerable to the laws of heaven.

The aura of Dijiang should be very peaceful.

However, the moment Qiao Xi touched him, she discovered that his wings were filled with the evil consequences of cause and effect.

Cause and effect are supposed to be invisible.

However, the evil had already solidified, almost becoming material, in the form of black wisps of mist wrapped around his wings.

It's like a shackle.

He was tied up and suffered many bad consequences.

The immense golden light of merit could purify the evil spirits and alleviate the suffering caused by the consequences of evil. So, was that why Di Jiang liked to be so close to her like he was now?

A little depressed.

Qiao Xi had no idea what was happening to him, so she could only take the initiative and hug him like her pillow to sleep.

just.

There is no pillow here, which means it is fully utilized. Fortunately, she is used to hugging something when she sleeps.

Now I can only comfort myself in this way.

It feels a little better.

The girl's slender hands came around from behind. Originally, Di Jiang was just pressing her down like before, but now she was hugged by Qiao Xi's slender hands.

"?"

A hint of doubt also flashed across Dijiang's golden vertical pupils.

"This way, you can accompany me without pressing me."

Qiao Xi hugged him and moved to the side, barely making some space for him.

Fortunately, this bed is quite spacious.

You can still sleep if you squeeze in.

This is better than Dijiang pressing on her all night and making her unable to breathe.

Qiao Xi moved a little and gave him half of the pillow.

Di Jiang didn't particularly object to her actions, but silently followed her and lay down on her side, facing each other. His pair of cold golden vertical pupils, even in such a dark night.

It is also flooded with a faint glow.

This indirectly shows that he is not an ordinary person, and it also looks a bit magical.

Qiao Xi met his gaze.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at like this, the girl simply closed her eyes, subconsciously curled up her body, and fell asleep hugging the Dijiang brand pillow.

No temperature.

It seems that it can’t keep me warm.

But it’s better than the previous temperature dropping suddenly to below freezing point. As long as I don’t freeze, it’s fine.

“…”

Di Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at her, who was in such a insecure position, as if she was curled up in his arms and sleeping.

Think for a moment.

He still raised his hand, grabbed the girl's thin back and hugged her in his arms, and at the same time pulled most of the quilt over the girl to cover her.

When Qiao Xi just arrived at the train.

He had already noticed it.

But it was not really confirmed at that time. Some things can only be known after actual contact.

so.

When he saw that the system program set up in the live broadcast room had begun to automatically register for interaction based on the popularity of the topic.

It happened by some strange coincidence.

He nodded.

Management account registered.

As expected, his account was listed as selected according to the system's priority permissions. The selected ID was set to not display its nickname to other people in the livestream room.

therefore.

The others who registered will not know who was selected.

You can only see the end notification when the selection is completed.

For privacy reasons, the accompanying segment will not be broadcast live to the public in order to avoid revealing the lucky audience member.

but.

Their users should have private chat groups to communicate with each other.

Dijiang was thinking about this.

Looking at Qiao Xi who was already sleeping in his arms, he felt the warm, clean and pure aura from the girl, which constantly burned and purified the evil effects in his body.

Relieved most of the pain.

I feel much better now.

However, this alone is not enough to completely end the pain.

Dijiang collected his thoughts.

He began to concentrate on using the golden light of merit from Qiao Xi to eliminate the evil consequences that were entangled.

The noisy sounds around me gradually subsided without me noticing. The howling wind that had been lashing against the car windows also returned to silence as the night completely enveloped me.

The train is still moving.

In the quiet, empty carriage, the indicator lights continued to flash, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to their second destination.
