But when Xu Qian noticed the smile on his lips, he felt that he didn't hate this kind of clumsiness at all, but rather liked it.
What kind of flowers would he give him? When Xu Qian collided with the wall, he was still thinking about this. The next moment, his vision shifted. The back of his head hit the wall and he felt dizzy. After he finally saw the surrounding scene clearly, he felt a hand pinching his neck. His feet left the ground and breathing became difficult.
This was an alley. Xu Qian remembered it was the alley next to the flower shop. It was dark and deep, and few people walked in or paid attention to it.
The sound of a car horn rang in his ears. Xu Qian struggled to look at the person opposite him. When he saw who it was, his breathing quickened: "It's... you..."
It was the young man that Lin Su saw today, but unlike the innocent and cheerful boy back then, the man in front of him had a cruel look in his eyes, and they looked like two completely different people.
Xu Qian struggled with his legs. The air in his lungs was becoming scarce and his vision was slightly blurred. He wanted to tell whether these were two different people, but the hairpins on their long hair and the same skirt proved that they were the same person.
"You still remember me..." Tushan looked at his flushed face with a fierce look in his eyes, "It's a pity that you are going to die..."
"Why, why..." Xu Qian pulled his wrist, her fuzzy head unable to understand how such a slender wrist could have such great strength.
Am I going to die... I should have known I shouldn't have been with Ye Kaixuan. We are both about to die, but we still have so many...extravagant hopes.
"Let him go!!!" The bouquet in Ye Kaixuan's hand fell to the ground. The scene in front of him made him want to tear his eyes out. At that moment, he threw away his most cherished compass.
The compass is the most precious thing for a Feng Shui master. Carrying it with you has the power to drive away evil spirits.
Tushan looked at the thing coming towards him, took it casually and sneered: "A Feng Shui master's thing, do you think it can hurt me now?"
The compass burned in his hand and turned into powder and fell down. At the same time, he exerted force with his other hand. Xu Qian opened his mouth in pain. Ye Kaixuan rushed forward while being stunned. The next moment, a light flashed on Xu Qian's chest.
Tushan Li took a step back to avoid the light. As he let go, Xu Qian fell to the ground and started coughing violently, coughing heart-wrenchingly. Ye Kaixuan supported him, and several jade artifacts in his hand were scattered around Tushan Li. As he pinched his fingers, an invisible binding net swirled around him.
He made such a move, but Tushan Ling did not move at all, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant that fell out of Xu Qian's chest after he fell.
He recognized the jade pendant. It was the jade pendant that Lin Su carved after picking him up. One had cracks and the other had no cracks. The one with cracks was kept, and the one that sealed him was placed on the bedside every day, while the one without cracks disappeared later.
He always thought it was lost, but he never expected it to appear in this person's body and save his life.
Tushan Lu stood there without moving, but Ye Kaixuan was reinforcing the net again and again. He looked a little frightened.
His compass could at least eliminate the level of evil spirits, but in the hands of the monster in front of him, it turned into ashes in an instant, and he had to be vigilant.
What puzzled him was that this monster was pure when he saw it a few hours ago, but now it was full of resentment, as if it had become a different person.
Now that he has bound the demon, he's afraid he won't be able to destroy it on his own, and... this is Lin Su's...
"Why do you want to kill him?" Ye Kaixuan asked.
Xu Qian finally caught his breath, still a bit shaken as he got up from the ground. He followed Tushan's gaze and looked at the jade pendant on his chest. Perhaps because his mind was extremely confused and he could only rely on intuition, he asked, "Are you the... demon in the jade pendant?"
"Monster?" Tushan Lu sneered. "The foxes of the Tushan clan are immortal foxes, unlike wild foxes that kill people. Who do you say is a monster?"
Xu Qian didn't understand the fox's species, but she also knew that those who hadn't done anything harmful shouldn't be punished. "Fox? Are you really sealed in my jade pendant?"
He searched the Xu family's ancient books, which contained records of various sealed monsters. Among them was a great monster that was sealed into a jade pendant by all the masters of the family a thousand years ago. "But the ancient books record that you once devoured human flesh. Dozens of people died in that area at that time. The fox clan does indeed feed on humans."
"I've never eaten a human. The man-eating monster at the time was a mountain python. It was no surprise that it swallowed me alive. I killed the python, but you turned your kindness against me by sealing me away for a thousand years." Tushan's eyes turned dark and cruel. "You should have died twenty years ago, but you've survived until now thanks to my power. Do you think you deserve to die?"
He struggled directly, and the constantly strengthening binding net trembled instantly. Ye Kaixuan tried to get the magic weapon again, but Xu Qian held his shoulders and said, "Don't waste your energy. You can't beat him."
He looked at Tushan and said, "If you were really forced to protect me for twenty years, you can take my life. But this matter only concerns me, not my family or other innocent people. We are the only branch of the Xu family left in this generation, and it is retribution. You can kill me to relieve your resentment, but leave my family alone, okay?"
"Xu Qian, you're crazy!" Ye Kaixuan looked at him in disbelief.
"I owe this to others. If I owe my life, shouldn't I pay it back with my own life?" Xu Qian looked at him and said, "This is what I agreed with Lin Su."
Ye Kaixuan held his wrist with rapid breathing. Tushan struggled hard. The moment the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared, the binding net that had been reinforced countless times was shattered into pieces.
The binding net was forcibly broken, and Ye Kaixuan was directly attacked. However, facing Tushan Ling's approach, he subconsciously protected Xu Qian and said, "You just want a life. If you want to pay with your life, take mine. Let him go."
"Ye Kaixuan, don't do this!!!" Xu Qian tried to push him away, but he protected her very tightly.
Nine fox tails fell from her skirt to the ground. Tushan looked at the two of them, crouched down, and held her chin with her hand. She said, "Hmm? Since you want to die so badly, how about this: you die together and then become a couple down there? I'm not a bad fox. I love helping lovers get together."
"No!" Ye Kaixuan said coldly, "You said you were a fairy fox, and fairy foxes never kill people. Killing us now will only dirty your hands. If you let him go, I can choose to commit suicide."
"You can really die for each other. It sounds touching. I suddenly thought of a good idea. You choose who survives." Tushan Lu laughed, and Xu Qian's heart skipped a beat.
