"Senior Brother doesn't dare to guarantee it, right?"
After a moment of silence, Ning Wan broke the eerie silence.
She came here today not to discuss the issue of shelter with Chen Jinggu, but for her mission, to find out the reason why the hunter did not allow them to enter the village.
If her mission failed, no matter what kind of monster she turned into, once she was discovered, she would not be able to explain the matter even if she had eight mouths.
Ning Wan tightened her grip on the lamp handle again, "Since senior brother can't guarantee it, then junior sister will..." and leave first.
"You want to cut off ties with me?" Before Ning Wan could finish her words, Shen Jinggu suddenly interrupted her.
Ning Wan's body stiffened slightly. She looked up at Chen Jinggu, who had come to this outrageous conclusion, and explained without any confidence: "I didn't mean that. I just wanted to tell my senior brother that I can't always rely on you. I need to learn to protect myself instead of accepting your protection with a clear conscience."
Ning Wan looked at Shen Jinggu, who was emitting coldness and displeasure, and did not have the courage to resist.
Normally, Shen Jinggu should have been happy after hearing Ning Wan's words, but at this moment, he only felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Why can't she be at peace with herself? He is willing to protect her and she just accepts it. It has always been like this in the past. Why does she have other thoughts this time?
"Junior sister, your ability to change the subject and put accusations on others is quite good."
Ning Wan's body stiffened, and she forced a smile, "How is that possible? Senior Brother, you misunderstood. I never thought of it that way."
"No?" Chen Jinggu's hand suddenly grabbed Ning Wan's jaw, and the force was neither light nor heavy, but it made Ning Wan's heart tremble.
In the darkness, Ning Wan, who couldn't see Chen Jinggu's expression, subconsciously wanted to struggle, but when her hand fell on the hand on his jaw, she couldn't do anything to him even if she used all her strength.
She let go of the lantern, and the only light disappeared completely.
Ning Wan reached out with her other hand, but could only pinch Shen Jinggu's neck. Before she could exert some strength to threaten him back, Shen Jinggu's other hand easily pulled her apart.
Both of her hands were grabbed by the opponent in a moment. She wanted to use her spiritual power to resist, but within a second, she was suppressed from a higher level.
Ning Wan, who was forced to be honest: It’s really nothing, I just felt for a moment that I was subjected to inhuman insults.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Ning Wan suppressed the fear in her heart and spoke with a trembling voice, but her hand was still tentatively trying to break free from Chen Jinggu's hand.
The darkness did not have much impact on Chen Jinggu. He locked onto Ning Wan's eyes accurately. Fear and tension were evident in those bright eyes.
"What do I mean? Junior sister, don't you really know it in your heart?" Chen Jinggu looked at the skin that was different from others, and there was inevitably some strange color in his eyes.
"If you really want to learn how to protect yourself, there's no need to rush." Chen Jinggu's tone turned colder. "With your mediocre skills, it's a problem for you to walk out of this village alive."
When Chen Jinggu was being venomous, he really didn't spare any face. Ning Wan's eyes gradually misted over, but she still managed to fight back: "What's wrong with my mediocre skills? I just want to prove myself. Is that a problem?"
"We clearly agreed before that we would all undergo the training together. Why should Senior Brother make the decision for us?"
Ning Wan controlled her emotions, but the moment she finished speaking, a hot tear couldn't help but flow from the corner of her eye.
Of course, this was just what she wanted Shen Jinggu to see, and her tears were obtained by cheating.
She was so nervous, so nervous that her eyes were dry. She tried for a long time but still couldn't cry, so she had to ask Xiaoqi to help her put some eye drops.
Tears slid down from the corners of her eyes and landed on Shen Jinggu's thumb.
Chen Jinggu released Ning Wan's jaw, his fingertips landing precisely on the corners of her eyes. "Why are you crying? Junior Sister, you're such a strong-willed person. Why don't you just tell me why you didn't just subdue that tree demon?"
His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was really afraid of hurting her, but the words he said made Ning Wan inexplicably angry.
He saw it, he saw everything just now.
No wonder he jumped out not long after. It turned out that he knew what had happened to her.
"you……"
Ning Wan wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, nothing came out.
"You can't even protect a hairpin flower. You're just a tree demon, and you're afraid of it. If you encounter that man-eating monster, won't you have to wash yourself clean and throw yourself into its mouth?"
Chen Jinggu's hand fell on Ning Wan's head, and then Ning Wan felt that there was an object on her head.
"Host, this is the hairpin that was taken away by the tree demon earlier." Xiao Qi spoke up in time to clear up the host's confusion.
"Where is the tree demon?" Ning Wan asked directly, perhaps because she was too surprised.
Chen Jinggu looked at Ning Wan's slightly red eyes and couldn't help but let his hand slowly slide towards the back of Ning Wan's neck. "Junior sister, do you still have the time to care about the tree demon?"
"Of course I killed it. Otherwise, would I have kept it alive and let it continue to absorb people's energy?"
Chen Jinggu's fingers became more and more dishonest. Ning Wan sensed something was wrong, but it was too late when she wanted to escape. A light kiss fell on the corner of her eye, and then left immediately.
But then his lips fell on hers, his teeth biting her lip beads and pursing them slightly. It was obviously just a simple lip kiss, but Ning Wan was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
It was not until Shen Jinggu chuckled that she regained her sanity, and then miraculously she had a "deeply affectionate" eye contact with Shen Jinggu.
Well, she was so stupid. She thought this man had a little bit of compassion. She thought that since she was crying, he would not do anything excessive.
But that wasn't the case. The only thing on his mind was taking advantage of her, and he did it openly and without any pretense.
Chen Jinggu didn't feel embarrassed. He just held Ning Wan's hand in his palm and played with it. It didn't seem like he was using much strength, but every time Ning Wan tried to pull her hand back, she failed.
Ning Wan: "Brother, who do you think I am?"
