Chapter 242 Slipping Away First



"Teng Yuanye you bastard!"

Qi Jinnuo sat up suddenly and saw the cold light reflected from the floor of the room before he realized that it was a dream.

It turned out to be a dream.

She clutched her chest.

Fortunately it was just a dream!

The room was dimly lit, and she subconsciously looked towards the bed, but there was no shadow.

She remembered that the last time she deliberately angered him and went back to Xu's house, she woke up in the middle of the night and saw him sitting beside her bed, which scared her to the point of leaving her with a psychological trauma.

But she wouldn't have this dream for no reason. Was it hinting at something?

Is he chasing after me?

Qi Jinnuo immediately decided that she wanted to leave here temporarily.

The Doomsday Paradise was right in front of her, and she just needed to find the entrance. She was almost successful, but she couldn't be caught at this critical moment.

What's more, Qin Youxia is by his side, who knows if she will ruin her good deeds.

She gets angry when she thinks of this.

Qi Jinnuo didn't want to sleep either. He got up immediately, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room.

When I passed by Zhunian's room, I found that the light was still on and he hadn't gone to bed yet.

She walked over and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly. Zhu Nian had wet hair and was covered in moisture. He was wearing a white bathrobe with an open collar, revealing his strong chest muscles.

In the dim light, his lazy look was indescribably sexy.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhu Nian looked at her.

Qi Jinnuo said: "I will be away for a few days. I don't think you can find the entrance so quickly, right?"

"How many days will you be away?" Zhu Nian was puzzled and frowned slightly. "Are you going to collect zombie crystal cores again? You have collected a lot along the way. If you really feel bored, why not go for a walk in the city?"

"No..." Qi Jinnuo didn't know how to explain to him, "I have something to do. Since you haven't found the entrance yet, I'll leave first and come back in two or three days."

Zhu Nian thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. If you have a chance, you can find out some information."

"Okay." Qi Jinnuo nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait." Zhu Nian suddenly called her.

Qi Jinnuo stopped and looked back at him with a little doubt. Her lively eyes looked like a crystal clear jewel under the light, and her slightly upturned cat's eyes were sexy and cute.

Zhu Nian stared into her eyes for a few seconds in a daze before saying, "Be careful, don't reveal your whereabouts, and don't be too playful."

Without waiting for Qi Jinnuo to speak, he condensed a drop of water on his palm and handed it to her.

"Take this water bead with you, so that I can find you wherever you go."

Qi Jinnuo thought for a moment and said, "This isn't necessary, is it? I'm not going far, and I'll be back in two or three days at most."

"I know you are very strong, but just in case, you should take it with you. If we find the entrance, it will be convenient to find you." Zhu Nian said.

"Okay." Qi Jinnuo accepted the small water droplet.

Zhu Nian said again: "I am really curious, what happened that made you leave in the middle of the night? Could it be related to Teng Yuan?"

When he said this, he was also paying attention to Qi Jinnuo's expression.

Qi Jinnuo paused, "It's just a personal matter."

Zhu Nian nodded and said, "Go ahead."

He looked at the girl's back as she walked down the stairs. Although she looked innocent, she was actually very good at hiding her thoughts.

She has the innocence, cuteness and liveliness typical of her age, yet she is also calm and rational beyond her age.

It seemed as if she overlapped with a girl in his memory.

"You won't stop her?"

A cold voice came.

Zhu Nian turned his head and saw Shu Yuan standing in the corridor at some point. The light was above his head, and his eyes were hidden by his hair, so it was impossible to see clearly.

Zhu Nian said: "She will come back."

"Really? I don't think so. Don't forget, she has a boyfriend."

"So what? They've gone their separate ways."

"Have we really parted ways?" Shu Yuan snorted coldly, "From the moment you started to approach her, I guessed what you were going to do."

Zhu Nian raised his lips with an ambiguous smile, "Are you planning to expose me?"

Shu Yuan said calmly: "I am not interested in your affairs. I just want to save my sister. As long as you don't disrupt the original plan, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you for keeping your mouth shut." Zhu Nian raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically and turned back to his room.

When Qi Jinnuo walked out of the villa, he saw Shu Lan in the garden again.

With her around, no zombies dared to approach the area, so if she wanted zombie crystal cores, she had to go far away.

She turned to leave and suddenly heard a click behind her.

She stopped and turned slightly to glance at Shu Lan.

The other person was bathed in the moonlight, and her body seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver frost. Coupled with her fluttering silver hair, she gave people a cold feeling that made people shiver unconsciously.

Shu Lan looked at her quietly, without any movement, like a machine.

Where did you kick accidentally just now?

Qi Jinnuo withdrew his gaze and was about to leave when he heard another click.

She paused, ignored him, and strode out.

There was a sharp sound of metal rubbing against the ground behind me.

It felt like something was kicked over.

She stopped again and looked at Shu Lan with a frown, but saw something like a clock on the ground, reflecting a cold metallic luster in the moonlight.

She walked over and picked up the thing. It was very cold to the touch and was obviously made of good material. It was very heavy. It was a pocket watch.

The hands are still moving. This pocket watch is very finely crafted, like a work of art.

Why give her a watch? What's so special about it?

Qi Jinnuo looked up at Shu Lan, but saw that she had turned around and had her back to her.

She studied it and found that there was a lid that could be opened. Inside was a slightly yellowed photo of a girl.

The girl's appearance was not exquisite, but she was comfortable to look at and had a bright smile that made people feel good about her.

He looks about the same age as her.

Why give her this?

Qi Jinnuo couldn't figure it out, so he put the pocket watch into the space.

Zhu Nian gave her the opportunity to find out some information, and Qi Jinnuo decided to go west and take a look at Xunxi City.

But before leaving, she had to go to the slums first to distribute the moon crystals she had collected during this period.

There were so many moon crystals piled up in her space that it had formed a mountain. She couldn't use so many, so she simply gave some to those poor people.

When it was just getting light, she arrived at the slum and saw a little girl squatting in front of a dilapidated wooden house.

Qi Jinnuo said softly: "Miaomiao."

The little girl was very small and skinny, her clothes were torn, her hair was messy, she looked dirty and was severely malnourished.

Hearing Qi Jinnuo's call, she raised her head, her eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly.

"Sister Nuonuo!"

"Shh..." Qi Jinnuo motioned her to be quiet, grabbed a handful of moon crystals and gave them to her, and gave her a bag of food, and reminded her: "Don't let anyone find out, go quickly."
