Chapter 276 Wake Up
Huo Lingchuan woke up slowly, but his memory was still stuck on that nightmarish fan farewell party.
The lights on the stage were still dazzling in his mind, and the next second, the fatal bullet whizzed towards him and shot him in the head.
At that moment, his soul seemed to be pulled out and he almost went to the underworld to meet the ancestors of the Huo family.
In a trance, he seemed to catch the sound of Huo Qinghuang's anxious shouting, but then his consciousness fell into an endless abyss of darkness.
Now that he has woken up, Huo Lingchuan still feels a lingering fear when recalling that thrilling shot. He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the place where he was shot.
However, the place where he touched was smooth and without any scars, as if the life-and-death crisis was just an absurd dream.
"That's right, Qing Huang, Qing Huang!"
He was stunned for a moment and suddenly thought of Huo Qinghuang.
"I am here."
Huo Qinghuang's voice came from beside him, with a feeling of relief at having survived the disaster.
She stood up and looked at Huo Lingchuan. The barely perceptible joy in her eyes quietly revealed her innermost emotions.
"I was wondering why I heard your voice. It was you who saved me. Besides you, who else could have saved me?"
Huo Lingchuan covered his head and said with lingering fear.
After going through such a life-and-death test, his voice still trembled a little.
Seeing him like this, Huo Qinghuang felt relieved.
It seems that Huo Lingchuan's memory has not been damaged, which is the best thing, as it saves her the trouble of explaining.
"It's true that I saved you, but the one you should really thank is him."
Huo Qinghuang turned sideways and looked at Ao Jiu.
Huo Lingchuan then turned his gaze to Ao Jiu, and for a moment, he was stunned.
Ao Jiu had recovered by now, and looked in good spirits. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, like the sharp lines outlined by mountains and rivers, revealing his innate heroism. His eyes were deep and bright, as if hiding thousands of stars, vast and mysterious. One glance at them would make one feel as if they were trapped in an endless universe, unable to extricate themselves.
He has an upright posture, like a standing pine tree, and exudes a unique temperament, which is the result of years of sedimentation, transcending the worldly indifference, and carrying an inviolable majesty.
Huo Lingchuan's heart suddenly tightened. Which woman would not be tempted by such an outstanding man?
He subconsciously worried about his sister, afraid that Huo Qinghuang would fall in love with Ao Jiu.
But when he thought of Ao Jiu saving his life, he swallowed back the warning words that were about to come to his lips.
"I'm Huo Lingchuan. May I ask your name? I'm grateful for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water to help you."
Huo Lingchuan suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, clasped his hands together, and thanked Ao Jiu in a very formal manner, looking very formal.
Ao Jiu's gaze was still on the real dragon skeleton.
After Huo Qinghuang's actions, the remaining true dragon spirit had been almost completely gone, and the true dragon skeleton had lost its former luster and charm, and it seemed that it would collapse into ashes at any time.
Ao Jiu retracted his gaze and glanced at Huo Lingchuan indifferently, his tone calm and distant: "Ao Jiu."
He just gave his name and didn't seem to plan to say anything more.
Seeing this, Huo Lingchuan became even more uneasy.
I always feel that Ao Jiu has an unapproachable aura, as if there is an invisible barrier between him and them.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Huo Qinghuang coughed lightly to break the silence, but did not speak.
True dragons are mythical beasts, and are naturally proud and rarely interact with mortals.
It was beyond her expectation that Ao Jiu could give his name.
Huo Lingchuan felt a little uneasy.
He looked at Huo Qinghuang, then at Ao Jiu, and always felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two.
He couldn't help but ask, "Qing Huang, how did you and Ao Jiu know each other?"
Huo Qinghuang was slightly stunned, then said calmly: "You will know it later, no need to ask more."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Huo Lingchuan did not dare to ask any more questions and could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
He turned to look at Ao Jiu, trying to find some topics to talk about: "Brother Ao Jiu, you were looking at the dragon bone just now, are you interested in it?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Jiu's gaze fell on the real dragon skeleton again, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "The real dragon is gone, its spirit has dissipated, and this skeleton is no longer useful."
Huo Lingchuan was confused and was about to ask something else, but he saw that Ao Jiu had turned around and seemed not to intend to continue the topic.
He had no choice but to shut his mouth awkwardly, but his curiosity about Ao Jiu grew stronger.
Huo Qinghuang blinked and thought to himself that they were indeed in the wrong in this matter.
She didn't expect that just by rebuilding Huo Lingchuan's body, she almost sucked the dragon bone's essence dry. This time, she really owed Ao Jiu a big favor.
"Consider it as I owe you a favor, which I will repay in the future."
Huo Qinghuang pursed her lips and reiterated.
Ao Jiu just looked at her sadly, sighed, and stopped talking.
Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly.
What does this guy mean?
Are you trying to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a huge amount of money?
She has nothing now, and all the treasures are in the Divine Phoenix Cave and cannot be taken out. Even if Ao Jiu wants benefits, she has no way to fulfill his wish.
Huo Lingchuan looked at this, then looked at that, and felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more subtle.
There's really no problem with these two guys, right?
No, we have to leave quickly!
"Brother Ao, I will always remember your life-saving grace today. But there are still many things to deal with at home, so we have to say goodbye now."
After Huo Lingchuan finished speaking, he looked at Huo Qinghuang anxiously, motioning her to leave with him.
Huo Qinghuang saw through his thoughts and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth slightly.
She really wanted to pry open this guy's head and see what he was thinking about all day.
She shook her head, looked at Ao Jiu, and said lightly: "You have been staying in this dragon vein, it's time to go out for a walk. Although there is no spiritual energy in the world now, it has its own unique flavor. You might as well go out and take a look."
Ao Jiu was slightly startled, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.
He had been trapped in this dragon vein for a long time and indeed had not set foot in the outside world for a long time.
"What you said makes sense."
Ao Jiu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully.
"Brother Ao, if you are going to the imperial capital, you are welcome to visit our Huo family. We will make sure to welcome you."
Huo Lingchuan also said a few polite words, which showed his gentlemanly demeanor.
Although he didn't want his sister to be seduced by Ao Jiu's beauty, he would never forget Ao Jiu's life-saving grace.
Ao Jiu nodded without comment. Although his expression was distant, he was naturally proud and had a unique charm that was independent of the world.
Huo Lingchuan felt a lump in his heart and could not stay any longer, so he pulled Huo Qinghuang to say goodbye to Ao Jiu, and then the two of them left in a hurry.
After coming out of the water, Tianchi was still as calm as a mirror, as if nothing had happened.
