Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Jealousy
Lu Rong subconsciously raised her head, but her eyes were covered, and her clear vision became dim. She didn't even have time to see the face.
But a familiar scent completely enveloped her, and she knew who it was.
At this moment, she felt her heart beating wildly, and her mind was full of mixed thoughts, wondering why he was here.
Before she could think clearly, she could feel herself being carried to the spot.
She didn't know where she was being taken. She first felt the gentle touch of the wind across her face, as if it were a hand covering her eyes.
She didn't know how long she was carried away until it stopped. She was gently placed on the ground, and the hands covering her eyes loosened. Light flooded into her eyes, and she blinked uncomfortably.
Lu Rong turned his head and looked up at the person in front of him, but his face was so handsome without any flaws, as if it was carved from jade.
When she looked into those deep, cold eyes, she suppressed her excitement, letting a false strangeness and surprise well up in her eyes. She whispered, "Who are you?"
She asked him a question with such a look and tone, and Zhou Li felt something tightening his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Zhou Li didn't say anything and looked at her quietly for a long time. He was thinking that she really had forgotten him.
He was sad and angry, and couldn't say a word for a while. It was all his own fault.
But human nature is always complicated. Although he knew that it was Ye Tanghua who caused her to forget, when she asked these three words in person, he still found it hard to accept.
Lu Rong looked at him curiously. Seeing him looking at her silently, she whispered and asked tentatively: "Are you mute?"
Zhou Li: “……?” How could she be so irritating?
Lu Rong felt that she had said something wrong, so she covered her mouth and said pitifully, "I didn't mean to do that."
Zhou Li's heart sank to the bottom of the sea at this moment. He nodded silently and turned to leave.
Leaving behind a tall and straight figure full of loneliness and sadness.
Lu Rong followed behind him, looking at his back, with the corners of her lips raised high. She knew that he would not ignore her.
So she asked him to try the price of her forgetting him.
She pretended not to know him and subconsciously asked, "Hey, what are you doing here? There's no one alive here. Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Although she talked a lot, Zhou Li was still immersed in the three words "Who are you" and not a single word entered his ears.
He just kept walking forward with his head down. He couldn't face Lu Rong, who was completely unfamiliar to him. He was stunned when a hand gently pulled his sleeve.
He paused and turned to look at Lu Rong. His heart, which had just sunk to the bottom of the sea, began to beat wildly again.
Even if he forgot, she would always be his.
If he wanted, he could trap her by his side, day and night.
He opened his lips and did not remain silent any longer, answering her question: "I was just passing by, saw you were in danger and wanted to go forward to rescue you. I wanted to bring you and your companions here, but I accidentally brought you here. I have no ill intentions, don't worry."
His high-sounding words, along with his stern expression, made anyone willing to believe that he really didn't just happen to pass by and save her.
Lu Rong knew very well that he took her away on purpose, and Zhou Li would not allow her to stay with Minhui.
She just pretended to be surprised and said, "So you're not mute. Then why didn't you speak just now?"
Zhou Li felt that there was something behind her words and looked into her eyes: "What?"
Lu Nong couldn't help but let out a long "oh", put her hands behind her back, and moved closer to him, staring at him with a pair of dark eyes. She swayed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened: "What's your name?"
Hearing her ask this, Zhou Li felt a dull pain in his heart and the light in his eyes dimmed.
"Don't you have a name?" Lu Rong pressed on, intending to provoke the other person.
"Zhou Li." He turned his head away, not wanting to look into her eyes that were completely unfamiliar to him.
Lu Rong bit her lip and pressed the corner of her lip: "Your name seems a little familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it for a moment."
His originally stern expression now softened a bit. Zhou Li thought, at least he still remembered the name, so he wasn't that stupid.
The two walked forward while talking.
The streets that were previously covered with weeds as tall as people seemed to disappear in an instant in front of them.
Lu Rong felt that this road was exceptionally smooth and flat. As he walked further, he asked in a bored tone, "What are you doing here alone? Are you here to catch monsters too?"
Zhou Li hummed randomly and thought to himself, I'm not here to catch any monster, I'm here to catch you.
Of course, he couldn't say this because Lu Rong had already forgotten him, and it would be quite inappropriate to say this.
But Pingxiang Town is indeed dangerous. He knows that Minhui's ability is average, and he doesn't want Lu Rong to be in danger with Minhui, so he brings her to his side.
Monsters are rampant in this place and hide in the lush weeds. If you are not careful, you will inevitably get injured.
And it was very easy for him to just eliminate the monsters in this place.
Lu Rong continued to ask him, "Do you know what happened in this place?"
This place was occupied by the demon world, and she knew that Zhou Li must know everything about what was happening here.
Zhou Li knew for sure that the cholera here were just Cheng Liu's former subordinates. Because of the internal strife that occurred after Cheng Liu's death when there was no leader, the entire Pingxiang Town was innocently implicated.
These weeds are because the plants here have been wantonly invaded by evil spirits, and they have suddenly grown like crazy, becoming their natural hunting grounds.
Zhou Li, of course, wouldn't tell Lu Rongming about these things. He simply explained the situation in this place: "The demon in Cholera is a bird. The bird demon carried seeds infected by demonic energy to Pingxiang Town, causing the entire town to be invaded by these plants."
After listening to this, Lu Rong thought that what he had thought before was caused by vine monsters like those of Ye Tang, but now it seems that he was still a little ignorant.
"How do we solve this?" she asked curiously. If there was a solution, the task would be completed quickly.
Zhou Li thought about how none of her previous questions were what he liked to hear. Now that she was begging him, he asked rudely, "We don't seem to know each other. You're asking too many questions."
Lu Rong: “…” Why is his desire for revenge still so strong?
Lu Rong didn't expect that he would return the favor and treat the person in return. He could only say, "Then what do you want in exchange for helping me?"
I just need you to follow me all the time. This was the sentence in his mind. He liked the feeling of having Lu Rong by his side.
But he felt that he had lost his position again.
In the end, he just said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it."
Lu Rong didn't expect that this was what he was playing.
She didn't refuse, but just agreed, curious about what he would want.
She agreed and heard Zhou Li say, "So you followed me when we were in Pingxiang Town."
Lu Rong was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhou Li: "Even though I was captured by a demon, I still want to save you."
Lu Rong couldn't help laughing. He was just as tough as his two younger brothers.
Lu Rong nodded obediently, raised his hand, and said sincerely, "I promise to follow you all the time, but you can't hurt me."
Zhou Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The person I least dare not hurt is you."
But she had forgotten.
The two walked forward and came across a ruin with small wild flowers blooming on the roadside.
Zhou Li knew that Lu Rong walked slowly, so he deliberately walked behind Lu Rong.
He looked at her slim back. Today she wore a purple headband and a purple skirt. She looked like a purple flower blooming in the dark, dazzling and beautiful.
He quietly looked at her profile. Lu Rong was cute from every angle. He thought, no one was cuter or more beautiful than her.
Even her shadow overlapping with his in the sunlight was so perfect.
As long as she appeared in his sight, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook again. Lu Rong deliberately stepped back and bumped into Zhou Li's arms.
He smelled the rich peach scent on her.
There were many times when they were entangled in the middle of the night, and the atmosphere became stronger as their love deepened.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked at her rosy earlobes. He wanted to kiss them, he especially wanted to kiss her.
The restless desire in his heart made him uneasy, but he knew that kissing her now would not be a gentleman's act, but he was not a gentleman either.
Zhou Li struggled in his heart. If he touched her shoulder with his hand, he only needed to turn around and they would be facing each other. If he lowered his head, he could touch her lips.
But he still gently pushed her away and said, "It's okay. This is because some seeds are shaking as they break through the soil."
Lu Rong nodded in understanding and asked him, "So what are we going to do now? Are we going to catch that bird demon?"
Zhou Li nodded. Lu Rong pointed to the sky and whispered, "But it looks like it's going to rain heavily."
At this moment, as soon as the words fell, lightning and thunder began to appear in the sky.
Raindrops fell from the sky and hit the two people's faces.
The rain came so fast that he didn't have time to react. He felt a small hand holding his palm, and the next moment he was being pulled to a deserted hut on the side.
The house must have been a wine shop before, and you can still see wine jars with bottles pierced by weeds.
Zhou Li cleared the weeds inside, cleaned up a table and a bench, and said to Lu Rong who was standing beside him, "Sit down for a while."
The rain was falling outside, and everything around was covered in white.
Lu Rong was using a jade token to send a message to Qiu Ling and the others saying that she was fine and was following a cultivator she met by chance to find out what was going on.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they received the news, and told Lu Rong to be careful.
Qiu Ling even asked a few more questions, whether this cultivator was a man or a woman, and whether she was good-looking.
Lu Rong replied.
[Lu Xiaorong: Beautiful, male. 】
【A-Ling: Ahh ...
Seeing that she ignored him and only looked at the jade token, Zhou Li asked, "Who are you contacting?"
The tone is very sour.
Lu Rong looked at his tone and his cold expression and said to him, "This is a message for my brothers."
She deliberately said the word "brother" in a sweet voice. Zhou Li's heart sank. Everyone was his brother.
When I called him brother in bed, I meant to call him that only.
His hands under his sleeves subconsciously tightened a little, but he still said to her, "Sit down first."
Lu Rong followed his gaze and saw the clean table and stools. The places that were dirty before were now free of dust.
He seemed afraid that even the slightest dirt would stain her skirt.
She sat down. The hot and humid air on a rainy day made her feel a little hot. She started sweating on her back and subconsciously fanned herself with her hands, thinking that it was so hot.
Unexpectedly, before she could even open her mouth to speak, the temperature around her began to drop.
She knew it was Zhou Li who did it, and she even said deliberately, "I suddenly feel so cool."
Zhou Li said slowly, "It's raining, so the temperature will naturally drop a little."
He didn't sit down because there was only one intact chair and if he did they would be very close to each other.
Zhou Li was afraid that if he got too close, he would lose control of his thoughts.
So he stood at the door and watched the rain falling outside. The sound of the rain mixed with the sound of his heartbeat, making him feel extremely restless.
He should hug her and kiss her, instead of being like now, where he didn't dare to scare her or even sit next to her.
Lu Rong supported her chin and looked at his back, with a hidden smile in her eyes. She wondered how long he could endure it?
"Zhou Li." Lu Rong called him.
This sudden sound made Zhou Li tremble all over.
He turned around and looked at her, and for a moment he thought it was the same time as before.
But her eyes held a newly familiar sense of distance.
Zhou Li suddenly realized something, pursed his lips and walked to her side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Rong: "It's raining so hard, and it's getting dark. Can we go back?"
Zhou Li looked at the rain outside and thought, I can't go back, so going back is the best way, to stay with him forever.
So he continued the rain that was about to stop, and the sound of the rain was still urgent.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
"But we just met, so I asked my brothers to pick me up."
She said she wanted to send a message to Senior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Minhui.
When Zhou Li saw her actions, he knew what she was going to do, and the jealousy in his heart was about to burn his rationality completely.
Can't.
He reached out and held her hand holding the jade token, tightly saying, "Lu Rong, no."
