Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Touching His Adam's Apple
Lu Rong found that the ice cracks seemed to have turned red and warm.
The color, which was originally as clear as ice, now emitted white mist as if it was burned by flames.
And there was heat where her palms and lips touched.
She was just about to turn her head and tell Zhou Li that there was a problem with the ice crack.
But as soon as she turned around, both the man and the sword disappeared.
Lu Rong: “?” Why has he been so elusive lately?
Zhou Li's neck was red at this moment, and hot sweat was dripping from his chin. He couldn't let her see his embarrassment.
Without Zhou Li by his side, Lu Rong squatted there honestly, intending to send a message to Zhou Li.
"What have you been doing? Where are the people?"
She asked twice in voice transmission before the other party replied in a tight voice, "One side."
Lu Rong stretched her neck to look to the other side of the tree, but didn't see anyone. Just as she was puzzled by a leaf falling down, she looked up and saw a swaying hem of clothing at the highest point of the tree.
This tree is probably an ancient tree, with thick, straight and tall branches, as if it is soaring into the sky.
Lu Rong raised his head and half-closed his eyes to look at the person farthest away from him: "?" Why doesn't he fly into the sky?
Lu Rong: "Why are you flying so high?"
Zhou Li: "Stay away from danger."
"So you put me in danger?" He is such a dog!
[I'll strip him down and vent my anger later.]
Zhou Li: “…” It’s really dangerous.
So the two of them went up and down. Without Zhou Li by her side, Lu Rong felt insecure: "Come down, or take me up with you. What if I get caught?"
Zhou Li: "I will save you."
Lu Rong gritted his teeth: "Then thank you."
"You're welcome." Zhou Li replied calmly, looking down at Mo Jianlan's residence. "Take a look at the situation inside the house."
Lu Rong wondered what he was looking at, but all he could see were closed doors and windows.
Then a chill flew past her eyes, and her eyes suddenly brightened. She could actually see the scene inside the house through the doors and windows.
Lu Rong blinked and found that he could really see the entire indoor scene.
This is perspective.
For the first time, she felt that Zhou Li was still somewhat effective. She stretched her neck to look inside the house. The light inside was a little dim, and she was floating in the light and shadow.
Lu Rong's observation shifted from outside the house to the more secluded interior: "It seems that there is no one in the room."
Zhou Li stood on a high place and closed his eyes: "Keep watching."
As long as she wasn't thinking about him.
"Oh." Lu Rong hid stealthily in the tree, stretching his neck to continue looking into the even darker inner room.
She frowned slightly: "There is a barrier, it's a demon's barrier."
The barrier formed by the demonic energy was surrounded by a black mist, and Lu Rong could tell at a glance that the demon's cultivation was higher than hers.
Zhou Li had already seen through everything here, so he naturally knew what was inside Mo Jianlan's room: "Find a way to look inside yourself."
Although Lu Rong reached the Jindan stage with the help of Zhou Li, he had also learned what he should have learned before that.
She stretched out her hand and formed a seal before her eyes, her sight passing directly through the barrier, and only then did she see the chaotic scene within the barrier.
Mo Jianlan was trapped on the bed with her clothes in disarray, hot sweat rolling down her face. Through her loose collar, one could see the slender tail tightly wrapped around her skin, leaving many red marks.
Lu Rong was stunned for a moment. What was he...doing?
However, there was no woman on the bed.
She looked more intently into the bed, but just as her gaze was about to pass over the fluttering bed curtains, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils suddenly stared at her.
Lu Rong was so frightened that her heart stopped beating and her eyes felt a stabbing pain. She almost fell backwards. A sword blocked her back. Then she felt a chill on her eyes and her pain healed instantly.
"What did you see?" Zhou Li's voice came, and her long eyelashes moved slightly, stirring his palm.
Zhou Li felt a slight itch in his palm, so he withdrew his hand and looked at her with lowered eyes.
"I saw a pair of snake eyes." Lu Rong felt a tingling sensation on his back when he thought of the vertical pupils.
What she feared most was snakes: "And Mo Jianlan was having sex with it."
Lu Rong thought about the feeling of being ravaged all night when she saw Mo Jianlan in the restaurant. It turned out that it was not just her imagination, but reality.
If a human has sex with a demon, the human will surely die.
Because the demons and ghosts are so powerful, humans are just the nutrients they absorb, and most people are sucked alive and turned into empty shells.
I don’t know if Mo Jianlan understands it or not.
Lu Rong was just thinking about it when he saw Mo Jianlan walking out. He looked normal, as if he was not the one who had just been making love with a snake in the house.
Mo Jianlan's gaze swept towards the tall tree where she and Zhou Li were hiding. Lu Rong subconsciously held her breath, trying to suppress her presence as much as possible.
She turned around and saw Zhou Li standing upright. She quickly reached out and pulled his sleeve: "Get down, you'll be discovered."
Zhou Li also set up a barrier, so Mo Jianlan couldn't see the two of them.
"Go back." Zhou Li understood, and he reached out again to take her away. Lu Rong had the illusion that she was just there to make a cameo appearance.
Mo Jianlan stood at the door with a solemn expression. He didn't notice anyone and went back into the house. A small white snake climbed onto his shoulder and asked, "Didn't you see who it was?"
Mo Jianlan shook her head: "That person's cultivation is very high."
"But the person who spied on us had average cultivation." The little white snake perched on his shoulder, its scarlet eyes gazing out at the tall tree. "I also smelled a scent that made me timid."
"A Miao, don't worry, I will protect you." Mo Jianlan comforted him and took the little white snake back to the inner room.
Lu Rong was also brought back to the restaurant by Zhou Li, who took her directly back to his room.
As soon as Lu Rong landed, he asked curiously, "Aren't you here to capture the monster? Why don't you capture it when you know there's a monster in the house?"
Zhou Li sat down and drank a cup of tea: "I didn't ask her to be my adoptive daughter."
"What do you mean?" She sat beside him, propping up her chin and looking at him curiously, "So the snake demon is good?"
Zhou Li paused as he poured the tea: "Are there any good monsters out there?"
"Of course." Lu Rong curled his lips, "People have good and bad sides, and there must be monsters too."
Zhou Li raised his eyes and looked at her quietly, as if he was looking at a weird person.
"Why are you looking at me?" Lu Rong was embarrassed by the look. "Hey, I know the rules of the immortal sect are that no demon can be let go, no matter if it's good or bad."
"Then you keep a monster in Zhuiyu Tower, aren't you afraid that your secret will be exposed?" Zhou Li asked.
"How do you know!" Lu Rong looked at him warily. Thinking that it was Zhou Li who sent her back with the broken mirror, he must have seen Xue Er.
"You are not allowed to hurt Xue'er!" Lu Rong said to him anxiously.
"That's a rabbit demon that just transformed not long ago. If I want to kill her, she won't survive the day I see her." Zhou Li said this, but he just didn't understand why she would take the risk to take in a useless rabbit demon.
Lu Rong also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Xue'er is very well behaved, she won't hurt anyone, and she won't run around."
"So you're allowing her to live in the Immortal Sect. Aren't you afraid that someone will find out one day?"
If discovered, no one will tolerate the innocent demon.
"She has nowhere to go." Lu Rong supported her chin, "I will protect her well. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."
"What are the benefits?"
Lu Rong didn't expect him to ask for benefits: "What do you want?"
Zhou Li didn't know what he wanted for a moment, he looked into her eyes.
Lu Rong was the first person to tell him that there are good and bad monsters.
But she hated him.
"I haven't thought about it yet." He didn't know what he wanted from her.
"Do you know you will get beaten for talking like that?" Lu Rong looked at him dissatisfiedly.
"Who hits who?"
Lu Rong: Goodbye.
She walked away with a smile, her fists clenched. She was afraid that if she hit him, she would be hit by Bing Lie's sword instead.
When she returned to Qiu Ling's room, Senior Brother Lin was also there, and the two were discussing something.
Seeing Lu Rong coming back, he asked, "Where have you been?"
"I went to the Mo family with Zhou Li." Lu Rong sat down and drank a glass of water, then noticed the strange and ambiguous looks between the two of them.
"You and Jian Zun?" Qiu Ling asked.
"Yeah." Lu Rong originally wanted to talk about Mo Jianlan's affair with the snake demon, but when she remembered that Zhou Li said they didn't want to capture that demon, she didn't elaborate for a moment. "I went to check on Mo Jianlan."
"Did you find out anything?" asked Senior Brother Lin.
"There's a fantasy world of Yin and Yang Springs under that stone on East Street."
"Yin Yang Spring." Qiu Ling stood up and walked to the window, looking down. "How did you know? Did you see it?"
"Yes, it appeared when I got close."
"So what did you see?" Qiu Ling asked curiously. "I remember the Yin and Yang Springs are divided into two springs. The Yin Spring allows you to see the things you hate the most, while the Yang Spring allows you to see the things you love and enjoy the most."
"I was taken away by Zhou Li before I saw anything." She only saw water at that time.
"It seems that there really are monsters in Luocheng." Senior Brother Lin looked righteous as if he was saving the world.
Lu Rong looked at him and suddenly thought of Zhou Li.
He was filled with a sense of righteous mission to eliminate the demon, and such an expression seemed to have never appeared on his face before.
He is always indifferent, as if people, monsters, ghosts, and immortal cultivators like them have nothing to do with him.
He faces everything with a cold and indifferent attitude.
So she always thought that he was cold and difficult to get along with, but when she thought about how he protected the last bite of tofu pudding today, she felt that he was quite interesting.
Strange Zhou Li.
Her mind wandered off into the universe. Qiu Ling and Senior Brother Lin saw her gloomy expression. Senior Brother Lin muttered, "Is she thinking about Sword Master?"
"Well, most likely, it's like a young girl thinking about love." Qiu Ling nodded affirmatively, "I told you before, hatred is caused by excessive love."
"Ah? Are we going to eat my favorite dishes tonight?" Lu Rong came back to his senses and looked at them expectantly.
"Dream on." Qiu Ling ruthlessly broke her fantasy.
After dinner, Lu Rong realized why she had been dreaming, because both of them asked Zhou Li diligently what he liked to eat.
After all, the meal money still has to be paid with Jian Zun's bag of gold bars.
Before Zhou Li ordered, a string of dish names popped up in his mind.
Sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour fish, fish fish fish fish.
【Fried tofu, tofu, I want to eat tofu! 】
[There is also spicy stir-fried beef, which is extremely spicy.]
Zhou Li sighed lightly and pointed at the three dishes with his long finger. Lu Rong was playing with his chopsticks out of boredom, but when he saw the dishes he ordered, his eyes lit up instantly and he looked at him with a smile.
[I declare that Zhou Li is the kindest person today! ]
When Zhou Li found that she was not thinking about anything improper, he didn't make much noise.
[Then be gentle when you pick up his collar later.]
Zhou Li: “…”
Lu Rong did not forget his mission.
It would be interesting to see Zhou Li’s inner thoughts in the comments.
He is so reserved, so he might have explosive news.
As Lu Rong thought about this, her eyes had already secretly fallen on his Adam's apple, and her eyes followed the Adam's apple down, as if trying to penetrate through the tightly buttoned collar and see the secrets and spring scenes hidden inside.
Zhou Li's mind began to uncontrollably reflect the scene she was thinking about at the moment.
Lu Rong sat on his lap, her white fingertips hooked on his collar. He saw his slightly raised chin, and hot sweat flowing down his neck, soaking his collar with a dark wet color.
The collar, which had been fastened tightly, was now completely loose. She lowered her head as if to bite a piece of the collar, but instead touched his Adam's apple.
