Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Coward
The two of them went there and found themselves with an extra burden for no apparent reason.
The child looked young and very cute. Ruan Mingyu couldn't help but touch her head and pinch her face.
The child called Ruan Mingyu brother.
Song Chenxi frowned and said, "There's no need to call me brother."
Ruan Mingyu: "Why are you so harsh on your little sister? If you want to yell, yell. I'll support you."
Song Chenxi mocked: "Ask her how old she is, she could be your grandmother."
Ruan Mingyu: "Is this true..." He asked the girl, "Child, how old are you?"
The girl made a six.
Ruan Mingyu turned around and glanced at Song Chenxi: "She's only six years old."
The girl shook her head: "Six hundred."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
He was really impressed.
Although she is much older than Ruan Mingyu, she behaves like a child, so Ruan Mingyu treats her like a child.
The little girl had no idea what was going on. She was holding Ruan Mingyu's hand on the left and Song Chenxi's hand on the right, skipping along the way.
On the way, she asked, "Where is the uncle from before?"
Ruan Mingyu didn't know how to respond to this question. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He's been trapped beneath the Five Finger Mountain. Maybe you'll see him in five hundred years."
The little girl said naively: "Five hundred years is not too long, nor too short."
Ruan Mingyu added, "Five hundred years is quite a long time, enough for me to live several lifetimes."
She seemed to understand and not understand at the same time. She nodded and said, "I want to go back to see my mother."
Ruan Mingyu: "I'll take you back right away."
The two brought the child back to the deer girl. The female partner stepped forward and lifted her daughter into her arms. The mother and daughter embraced each other and cried.
Although it was immoral to say something now, the purpose of their trip had not yet been achieved. Ruan Mingyu hurriedly asked, "What did you promise us?"
Lu Nu calmly wiped away her tears and asked, "Mu Chengzhou is gone. Is he okay?"
Song Chenxi told her the truth directly: "He was locked up and can never get out."
The deer girl was silent for a while. Although she didn't react much, it was obvious that she was very sad.
Song Chenxi asked her to fulfill her promise, and Lu Nu nodded.
She winked at her daughter and said, "Go out first." Ruan Mingyu felt something was strange, but didn't say anything.
The deer girl looked at the two and said, "You two have both been possessed by delusion. I do know the solution, but I can only save one person. You can choose who to save."
Ruan Mingyu pointed at himself and said, "No, do I count as one too?"
The deer girl nodded. "I can smell your blood. Although your symptoms aren't obvious right now, it will take root in your body over time."
"Let's save him first," Ruan Mingyu pointed at Song Chenxi, "He's seriously ill."
Song Chenxi frowned. Lu Nu asked him to go over, but he stood still.
Ruan Mingyu pushed him and said, "I told you to go over, why are you still standing there?"
There was no sound of footsteps outside the door anymore. Lu Nu waved to Song Chenxi to come over and pretended to treat him, but Song Chenxi hesitated.
Just because they were not paying attention, the deer girl's figure suddenly disappeared in front of them, and she was gone in an instant.
"She just ran away like that!" Ruan Mingyu was furious and wanted to chase after her to catch her, but he found that with his level of cultivation, he didn't even know where she had gone, and he couldn't help but feel dejected.
How could this hope, which we had finally found, disappear so easily?
Song Chenxi stood there like nothing had happened, still in a daze.
Ruan Mingyu almost cried and grabbed his arm: "Brother, what are you doing? Are you still distracted at this time?"
Song Chenxi: "She means that only one of us can survive."
Ruan Mingyu was stunned for a moment: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine, just heal me."
Song Chenxi said nothing, but his pupils were slightly red.
Logically speaking, his symptoms should have been suppressed and would not recur in the next few days. Ruan Mingyu saw a faint blood color in his pupils, so without saying a word, he took out a packet of medicine and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ruan Mingyu: "What's been bothering you these past two days? This illness has come back early again."
Song Chenxi didn't answer.
Ruan Mingyu muttered to himself, "We have to find her quickly. Do you think she's a liar? She doesn't know anything at all."
He thought for a moment and then said, "No, Mu Chengzhou has been able to survive for so long, she must have a way. Maybe the cost of this way is a bit high. Otherwise, she wouldn't have turned against us at this moment."
Ruan Mingyu pulled the grass by the roadside and shook it in his hand.
"What should I do? I'm really at a loss."
Song Chenxi was still able to laugh at this time. He said, "I'm not anxious, why are you anxious?"
Ruan Mingyu: "Yes, the emperor is not anxious about the eunuchs. I just like to worry about others, okay?" There was unconscious resentment in his tone, and in fact, he was also upset.
The plot has changed, why can the ending still be changed?
If he doesn't die, Song Chenxi will have to die. There's no solution!
Seeing him like this, Song Chenxi chuckled and moved his head.
"Mingyu, I'll be fine." Song Chenxi hugged him with both arms, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, and lowered his head to whisper in his ear, "We'll all be fine."
Ruan Mingyu was stunned by his sudden cheesiness and stammered, "Okay..."
-------------
Staying there all the time was no solution, so the two of them went to a nearby town.
Ruan Mingyu had a bad premonition recently. Thinking of his own tragic ending in the book, he took out the spirit stones in his bag, counted them again and again, and made a decision that went against his ancestors.
He actually spent all the spirit stones he had accumulated before. He was so extravagant that he would buy three strings of candied haws at a time, one for Song Chenxi, one for himself, and one to give to children on the street.
This was the first time he was so generous. Song Chenxi looked at him in shock: "Are you crazy?"
Ruan Mingyu: "I'm much more normal than you. You're not crazy, so how could I be crazy?"
Song Chenxi thought about it and nodded: "That's right."
Along the way, Ruan Mingyu could be described as extravagant and went to the other extreme.
Noticing that something was wrong with Ruan Mingyu, Song Chenxi finally said, "I should be able to find the whereabouts of the deer girl."
Ruan Mingyu was surprised: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Why didn't you say it earlier? Song Chenxi doesn't have a lover yet. How can he face the situation where only one of them can survive?
There were many people in the city, so when the two of them came to the outside of the city, they found it very desolate, without even a single person in sight.
Song Chenxi said, "Wait for me to tell your fortune."
Ruan Mingyu saw him take out a compass and mutter something, but he couldn't tell what he was saying.
Song Chenxi was tinkering there alone. Ruan Mingyu didn't disturb him and sat beside him waiting for him. But he was a person who couldn't sit still. There was a pond not far away. He was bored, so he rolled up his sleeves and went down to catch two fish.
After he skewered the fish and put it on the grill, Song Chenxi finally finished, and his lips looked a little pale.
Ruan Mingyu handed him the roasted fish: "Here, eat some fish to replenish your body."
Song Chenxi took it, and Ruan Mingyu asked him, "Have you found out where it is?"
Song Chenxi nodded: "I have some clues."
The fish was a little burnt and didn't taste very good. There was no seasoning at all, so Ruan Mingyu vomited after taking two bites.
And Song Chenxi was able to eat it all without changing his expression. Ruan Mingyu was a little impressed by Song Chenxi.
While fishing, Ruan Mingyu accidentally got his sleeves wet. He took off his coat and held it by the fire to dry.
Everything was fine at the beginning. The two of them talked while roasting the fire. The cool breeze from the river blew slowly, and their mood became very relaxed.
Song Chenxi inadvertently looked down and saw a red dot on his arm. He lifted his hand and asked, "What is this?"
Ruan Mingyu would not tell him in detail that this was the toad blood that Gong Lingdeng had applied to him in a fit of madness. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, just a red mole."
Song Chenxi didn't believe it. He pulled his hand up and took a closer look. His face suddenly darkened. "Who gave you the toad blood? Was it that bitch from the Hehuan Sect?"
Ruan Mingyu: "..." What could he say? Was this what he wanted?
Then he thought to himself why should he feel guilty, it wasn't his fault, and it wasn't a big deal anyway.
Song Chenxi lifted his arm, his face became even more grim, as if he was displeased with the red spot. He pulled out a knife, as if to cut off his flesh.
Ruan Mingyu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand: "No, no, no! Brother, there's no need for you to fight with me over a red dot!"
Song Chenxi smiled, but his evil intentions came back, and he threatened him, "Don't be afraid, it will be quick and won't hurt at all."
Ruan Mingyu really thought he was going to dig out his flesh. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She used her hands and feet to crawl back and said, "No, no! I think ordering this is also good. At least it proves that I am a good man who upholds male ethics."
Song Chenxi didn't let him go and said coldly: "Put your hand over here."
In the blink of an eye, his hand was held by Song Chenxi. Ruan Mingyu closed his eyes in fear, but after a while, nothing happened.
He squinted his eyes and looked at his arm, but saw that Song Chenxi just put his hand on his arm, and the toad blood immediately disappeared.
Ruan Mingyu laughed dryly: "You scared me."
Song Chenxi snorted, "Coward."
Ruan Mingyu: "It's not that I'm timid, it's because you scare me every day!"
"I'm not trying to scare you." Song Chenxi suddenly became serious. "Who's behind here? Come out!"
Ruan Mingyu was startled: "What's behind me? Don't scare me!"
"Don't look back!" Song Chenxi shouted.
After he said that, Ruan Mingyu became even more frightened. He turned around to see what it was, but before he turned around completely, he felt something furry on his neck. He was so scared that he jumped forward and hugged Song Chenxi tightly.
Seeing him like this, Song Chenxi couldn't help but laugh. He took out a piece of reed lint from behind Ruan Mingyu's neck and showed it to Ruan Mingyu.
"And you still say you're not a coward?"
Ruan Mingyu was furious: "You scared me again!"
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Song Chenxi laughed wildly, and his laughter echoed in the reed marsh.
-------------
Ever since they figured out the whereabouts of the Deer Girl, the two of them have been rushing towards her.
After walking for a few days, Ruan Mingyu looked around and said, "I think I've been to this place before."
It's just a vague memory, not very clear.
Song Chenxi said, "Of course I've been here. You and I fell into a cave nearby."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
Song Chenxi walked in front of him, a few meters away.
As he walked, Ruan Mingyu felt more and more that something was wrong. He would always have this feeling when something bad was about to happen.
Sure enough, before he even walked through the forest, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ruan Mingyu looked closely and saw that it was Gong Lingdeng.
I didn’t expect such a Cheng Yaojin to appear halfway!
In fact, Gong Lingdeng had sensed it as early as when Ruan Mingyu stepped into this place, and immediately ran towards the direction where Ruan Mingyu was.
He rushed forward and grabbed Ruan Mingyu's hand, his face crazy: "Are you here to see me?"
After saying that, he pulled up Ruan Mingyu's sleeves.
Ruan Mingyu shouted in panic: "Song Chenxi, save me, save me!"
Gong Lingdeng saw that there was nothing on his arm: "You...you and him!" He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He grabbed Ruan Mingyu's hand and wanted to take him away.
Song Chenxi turned around and saw Gong Lingdeng, and took Ruan Mingyu out of his hands.
He had a sneer on his face.
"I've been wanting to settle accounts with you for a long time."
Gong Lingdeng refused to give in: "I should be the one saying this to you. Now all the old and new grudges are coming together!"
Ruan Mingyu's eyebrows jumped. Is this... another fight?
Song Chenxi was now filled with resentment, and his fighting power had long since risen to another level. He attacked without any rules, and rather than using magic, he focused more on hitting the flesh with punches. He beat Gong Lingdeng so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he didn't give the young master of the Hehuan Sect any face at all.
Ruan Mingyu was watching the fun from the side, and felt that this was not subtle enough for a cultivator, so he said in a fake tone: "Oh... stop fighting, sit down and talk it out, this is not good..."
Later, Gong Lingdeng was beaten to the point where he couldn't move, but he still refused to show mercy.
He cursed viciously: "I have never seen such a vicious person!"
Song Chenxi was about to go up and teach him a lesson, but Ruan Mingyu pulled him away: "Forget it, forget it, he's not some unforgivable person."
Ruan Mingyu originally planned to let it go and urged Song Chenxi to leave quickly, but Gong Lingdeng, lying on the ground, was like a dog-skin plaster, calling his name and telling him not to leave.
Ruan Mingyu turned around, trying to stop him from thinking about it.
He squatted down and said to Gong Lingdeng:
"Palace Master, look, this is a muscle-growing pill. We're old acquaintances, so I'll give you a 50% discount, ten spirit stones per bottle."
Gong Lingdeng grabbed his sleeve and said, "Come back with me. I'll give you all the spirit stones you have."
Ruan Mingyu laughed and said, "I'm a bit stubborn. Of course, it's better to earn money yourself. I don't appreciate money given to me for free."
Ruan Mingyu pulled his hand away with a smile.
"As for me, I won't go back with you, and you, please don't worry about me anymore."
Gong Lingdeng shouted in despair, "What kind of magic potion did he give you that makes you so devoted to them?"
Ruan Mingyu: "Devoted? Can this word still be applied to me? I'm leaving, and don't come looking for me."
Gong Lingdeng called him: "Ruan Ruan..."
Ruan Mingyu never responded to him again.
