Chen Jinggu lowered his eyes, looking at Ning Wan's slightly frightened eyes and her slightly trembling body. His heart trembled, and he pulled down the hand covering his mouth: "Of course I can protect you, but if you act on your own, that's not necessarily the case."
He thought it was good to scare her, at least she wouldn't carry him to such a dangerous place again.
Ning Wan felt like laughing when she heard this, especially when she noticed that Chen Jinggu was playing with her hand again.
Chen Jinggu's statement was quite normal, but Ning Wan inexplicably thought of the frequently appearing and domineering sentence in the speech - "You can't go anywhere except by my side."
The only difference is probably that Shen Jinggu's expression is more implicit.
Shen Jinggu may not know that when he is nervous, it is obvious to reveal it. For example, he will subconsciously hide his hands.
Ning Wan watched as her hand was pulled into Chen Jinggu's sleeve. Immediately afterwards, she heard Chen Jinggu's extremely unnatural cough. "Junior sister, your hands are so cold. Are you cold?"
Ning Wan, who had been accused of something, couldn't laugh anymore. She couldn't help but look up at Chen Jinggu who was lying with his eyes open: Well... to be honest, her palms were almost sweating. What kind of mental state did he have to say such a thing?
…
The temperature was indeed not high late at night, and with the cool breeze, if it weren't for the spiritual energy protecting her body, Ning Wan might have really been frozen.
Chen Jinggu took Ning Wan to stand under a tree not far from the yard, took out two more talismans, and used one of them on her.
"This talisman can temporarily prevent others from seeing you." Shen Jinggu said, and also activated the one in his hand.
Ning Wan looked at Chen Jinggu, who was no different from before, and was about to say something, but Chen Jinggu spoke first, "Don't think about it, the talisman is not broken."
"Have you forgotten that if the concealment talisman is activated by the same person's spiritual power, both parties will be able to see it?"
Ning Wan was stunned, and looked at Chen Jinggu who still had some expectations of her, with an awkward but polite smile: She really doesn't know.
Just as Ning Wan was thinking about how to start, she heard a chuckle in her ear. "Yes, if I remember correctly, Junior Sister didn't come to that class. It's normal that she didn't know."
Ning Wan: “…”
Silence is golden.
I don’t know how long it took, but the dark clouds covering the sky slowly dissipated, the crows’ cries gradually disappeared, and a dark moon hung in a corner of the sky, adding a touch of light to the dark night.
On the dirt road, a figure appeared, stretched out by the moonlight.
Chen Jinggu and Ning Wan frowned almost at the same time, looking at the woman standing at the hunter's door.
The originally tightly closed courtyard door was pushed open a tiny crack by the woman, and a few creaking sounds were heard, which seemed very abrupt in the middle of the night.
The woman seemed to be very familiar with this place. The moment she lifted her skirt and closed the door, Ning Wan saw that face.
A pretty girl from a small family, a girl from the south of the Yangtze River, in short, that face is definitely worthy of the title of beauty.
But those eyes were like those of a cold-blooded animal, without any woman's tenderness.
Ning Wan didn't know if she was seeing things, she always felt that there seemed to be blood stains on the hem of the skirt.
[Host, she is the hunter's wife, Qingniang.] Xiao Qi in the space looked at the person standing at the door, and his hands began to move again. It finally had a place to use them.
[The hunter's wife was originally the daughter of a merchant. Although not particularly noble, her family had never treated her unfairly.]
Later, she fell in love with the hunter at first sight and secretly pledged her lifelong love to him. However, she didn't realize that he had no special abilities. She broke away from her family and, relying on her love for him, lived a hard life with him for decades. At their worst, they couldn't even afford wild vegetables.
[She was not in good health. She caught a cold a few months ago and nearly passed away. Fortunately, the hunter found her in time and found some herbs that saved her life.]
Ning Wan listened to Xiao Qi's words very quietly, but she felt something was wrong in her heart. Although the woman looked thin, she did not look like she was in poor health.
"Brother, have you noticed anything wrong?" Ning Wan looked at Chen Jinggu beside him, wondering if this man would discover something.
However, Shen Jinggu just shook his head lightly, "No, did your bead react in any way?"
Ning Wan didn't hide it and took out the unresponsive bead. She said helplessly, "No, maybe the problem lies with the hunter."
Although she also felt that Qingniang was the most suspicious, judging from the reaction of the Demon Prison Pearl, the hunter was the most suspicious.
Even if it wasn't him, he must know some inside information.
Chen Jinggu did not deny Ning Wan's words. He responded softly and said, "Let's go. Let's go back first."
"Brother, are you sure we don't stay here to guard?" Ning Wan didn't expect Chen Jinggu to say this, and asked subconsciously.
If the hunter really has a problem, wouldn't leaving now create an opportunity for those monsters?
"No need. If we guard her, she will become more vigilant." Shen Jinggu said softly, but his eyes fell on the gate.
He didn't believe that the woman was really okay.
The hunter and the whole yard were filled with the aura of demons, but his wife, who shared the same bed with him, was just like an ordinary person.
In this case, the cleaner it is, the weirder it seems.
Ning Wan didn't know that the "he" that Chen Jinggu was talking about was her. Thinking about the hunter's resistance during the day, she felt that there was nothing wrong with what Chen Jinggu said. The two of them hit it off and turned around and left.
The two did not look back, so they did not see the gate suddenly opened.
The woman called Qingniang stood at the door, looking coldly in the direction where Chen Jinggu and Ning Wan left, and sneered again.
These immortal cultivators are really interesting, running towards her one after another.
She smiled, but there was only coldness in her eyes. Thinking of the extra "gift" in the cave, there was a hint of teasing in her eyes.
That person's skin is very good. If he could wear her skin, he would probably be able to last longer.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the inner room, looked at Xu Shan who was unconscious on the bed, approached slowly, got back on the bed, put his hand on her waist, and adjusted the position slightly.
Everything returned to the way it was when she left.
