Ningning followed the map and headed deeper into the dense forest. As the morning sun gradually tore through the remaining dark darkness, the scene before her eyes gradually became brighter and wider.
After passing through the dense woods, we arrived at the top of a cliff.
Changyue Peak is the end of Xiaochong Mountain. Looking beyond the surrounding rugged rocks, you can see a steep cliff that is as high as a cliff hanging from the sky. At the bottom of the cliff, the vast ocean is endless, and the snow-white waves beat against the stone wall, like the floating shadow of a sword, fleeting.
Those who enter the Xiaochongshan Secret Realm are all Jindan stage cultivators. This level of cultivation is not enough to compete with the Black Bird, let alone come here under its fierce attack and see the true appearance of the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf.
Even the origin of the rumor that "Silver Silk Fairy Leaves Grow on Changyue Peak" was that a disciple was brought here by chance when he entered the secret realm a few years ago, and only then did he see the legendary fairy grass.
As for how he managed to escape while crying and screaming, that is another thrilling story.
Now Ningning stood on the top of the cliff, squinting her eyes because of the howling wind. After seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
On the flat ground at the end of the steep cliff, there grows a magical plant that emits a bright glow. Unlike ordinary plants, it has only one long and thin leaf, and its entire body is a bright snow-silver color like the starry sky. Bathed in the faint morning light, it looks even more dreamy and picturesque.
There were strong winds and flying sand and rocks on the top of the cliff, but it always stood quietly in the deepest corner of the entire secret realm, without any hesitation. The light of the sky and the shadow of the earth all converge here, worthy of being born to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
Even Ningning could feel the soft spiritual energy emanating from this spiritual plant. It should be the legendary silver fairy leaf.
He Zhizhou didn't know how long she could hold the black bird back. She didn't have time to care about anything else and immediately stepped forward to pick off the fairy leaf.
Like Tianxin Grass, this kind of holy-level spiritual plant often takes hundreds of years to condense into a plant, so Ningning is extremely careful when picking it so as not to damage the roots of the plant so that they can grow again as soon as possible.
However, when he looked up after picking the flowers, he was stunned by a glimpse.
The vegetation on the edge of the cliff is sparse and surrounded by layers of rocks. And in a corner hidden by stones, a dazzling crimson color suddenly appeared.
It turned out to be an oval egg.
It is round and plump, and is about one meter tall. It has the same bright red color as the black bird's feathers. From a distance, it looks like a burning flame.
Its location was extremely hidden, and Ningning was focused on obtaining the magic herb, so she had not noticed the shadow before. When I saw it inadvertently at this moment, my heart skipped a beat.
Is this... a black bird's egg?
So that's how it is.
The reason why Xuanniao tried so hard to protect the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf was for its own children.
Previously, when she was talking with Su Qinghan in the ancient woods forest, they had discussed why the black bird would cling to the silver silk fairy leaf.
"In fact, the greatest use of the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf is to detoxify and suppress evil spirits. However, since Saint-level spiritual plants all possess spiritual energy that can clear the mind and concentrate the spirit, most people believe that the Black Bird uses it to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and improve its own cultivation."
Su Qinghan said: "But some people think that maybe it's because the black bird laid eggs and wanted to use it to nourish the young birds."
Seeing Ning Ning's confused look, she patiently added, "The black bird clan is extremely rare. Although they are extremely powerful when they grow up, they are very fragile when they are young. Not only does it take a hundred years to hatch the eggs, but the hatched cubs are also extremely weak. If they don't cherish the spiritual plants to keep them alive, they will probably die soon after they are born."
Ning Ning nodded: "Senior Sister, you once said that the function of Tianxin Grass is to nourish living things. If Xuanniao wants to practice or hatch eggs, why doesn't it go directly to Tianxin Grass?"
Su Qinghan shook his head and smiled, "Not to mention that the Tianxin grass is hard to find, I heard that someone once saw a plant and wanted to snatch it by force, but was almost killed by the Shi Zhongling who was guarding nearby. According to him, Shi Zhongling absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the Tianxin grass and has long become the most powerful half-immortal in this secret realm. I'm afraid that even Xuanniao will find it difficult to snatch the Tianxin grass from her."
Ningning was so surprised at that time that her mouth opened slightly. She never imagined that her sister, who looked ordinary and even had a bit of a bookworm temperament, would be a boss-level figure in this secret realm.
The Sweeping Monk is indeed everywhere.
"The black bird actually wanted to reproduce."
Outside the mysterious mirror, a cultivator muttered to himself, "No wonder it tried so hard to protect the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf... I was wondering before, with its current strength, it should not need to rely on spiritual plants to improve its cultivation."
Someone was surprised and said, "I heard that when the black bird eggs are hatching, the color will change from white to red as the hatching progresses. Judging from its appearance, it should be about to hatch."
The red-skirted female cultivator from the Wanjian Sect also became interested: "However, compared to the Tianxin Grass, the incubation ability of the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf can only be considered second best. When the Black Bird comes back later, even if it runs into Ningning, can't we use the Tianxin Grass to make a peaceful deal with it and avoid harm?"
“That’s not right.”
Qu Feiqing on the side smiled softly: "If Xuanniao is greedy and kills Ningning and takes away the Tianxin grass, what can she do? She won't even have anyone to complain to."
"No wonder Xuanniao said 'I like children and I want a new child' when he was talking to He Zhizhou before."
Tian Xianzi grinned, as if he remembered something, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Everyone, don't forget, we made a bet to see which disciple can get the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf first - now the result is out, remember to pay the money."
"Wait! Look, everyone!"
The elder of Haoran Sect frowned and stared at the mysterious mirror: "That shadow... is it the return of the black bird?!"
The picture in the mirror changed, and sure enough, a beam of fiery red light was seen in the sky.
The black bird comes and goes like the wind, and when it lands on the ground, it causes stones to roll. Perhaps because its original body was too big, it transformed into the appearance of a woman in red after landing. Before it took a few steps, its expression suddenly froze.
——The place where the silver fairy leaves should have grown is now empty.
But it has never felt that anyone has approached this place, and there is no trace of human presence around. Could it be that the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf could grow two legs and run away out of thin air?
The more it thought about it, the more annoyed it became. It paced back and forth on the spot, its eyes becoming increasingly ferocious, with a faint red light seeping out of the orange-yellow color, like blood.
"Strange, where did Ningning hide?"
He Xiaochen looked around outside the mysterious mirror, but did not see the familiar figure of the little girl. Since they switched the scene to Xuanniao and then back, Ningning had disappeared.
Qu Feiqing frowned, and the smile finally disappeared from her lips: "This place is flat and open. The only place to hide is the pile of rocks next to the egg."
Obviously, Xuanniao and she were thinking of the same thing.
The seductive woman in a red dress had a sinister look on her face and approached the pile of rocks step by step without saying a word.
In order to give birth to this child, she had waited here for a hundred years. If she failed...
It will surely make the thief's life a living hell.
The flaming red color, with its chilling murderous intent, gradually cut through the dark brown land.
The black bird came to the pile of rugged rocks.
Many people outside the mirror held their breath at the same time, and the soft-hearted female cultivator even looked away.
Everyone saw it slowly lower its head and lean behind the rock with a fierce look on its face. A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the leaves in the distance to rustle, like the sound of some kind of countdown clock.
The black bird's pupils suddenly shrank.
Behind the stone... there was nothing.
“No, no?”
An elder outside the mirror gasped: "Did she escape?"
The thief must have escaped.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the woman in red, but as she raised her hand, she turned into a giant bird, flapped her wings and flew into the sky.
When it comes to flying, the thief is definitely not as fast as it.
"Ningning can't be faster than the black bird. She will definitely be caught up by it."
He Xiaochen frowned, "Could it be that she took advantage of the black bird's blind spot and cleverly maneuvered around before flying away on her sword?"
Tian Xianzi laughed loudly: "Not at all. Sect Leader He, why don't you take another closer look? Besides those rocks, isn't there an egg on the top of the cliff?"
"Egg?"
The red-dressed female cultivator from the Wanjian Sect looked around curiously: "But when the black bird was investigating before, there was clearly a clear spot behind the egg - ah!"
She said with a look of great surprise, her beautiful eyes smiling: "This egg...was about to hatch not long ago."
As soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, the huge round bird egg in the mysterious mirror swayed slowly.
Then the top layer of the eggshell was carefully lifted up, and the person who poked his head out from it was not a black bird cub, but a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth.
Ningning held up the round eggshell, shook her head, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, she noticed something unusual in the sky and knew that the black bird would be back soon. If she hid behind a rock or ran away, she would be caught by it. Moreover, she had already picked the silver fairy leaves, so she couldn't explain it anyway.
At the critical moment, the bird eggs that had been lying quietly not far away suddenly shook slightly, making a very subtle sound as if something was cracking.
There is always a way out, the black bird cub actually hatched.
"She actually hid inside the bird's egg."
He Xiaochen also laughed: "The cracks above and below are tightly closed. If you don't look closely, you really can't tell what's going on. Xuanniao is so eager to find the person that she won't notice the small crack."
Someone added: "It was just one step away from hatching. Now it is probably affected by the Tianxin grass on her body and has broken out of the shell directly."
He paused, stroked his long beard and chuckled, "It's true that there is no coincidence in the world. If Little Daoist Ning didn't have the Tianxin Grass, there would definitely not be such a coincidence."
They were talking one after another, and Qu Feiqing looked at the girl in the mysterious mirror, with a deeper light in her eyes.
"Thank you."
Ningning lowered her head and took a look at the black bird cub in her hands. It is different from other birds. Not only is the eggshell fresh and clean, with a faint milky fragrance, but it also has plump wings that feel warm and furry to the touch.
Although the bird eggs are large, the newborn chicks are only the size of a palm. The little guy seemed to like her very much and kept rubbing against Ningning. His little wings fluttered gently, bringing an electric-like itch when they brushed across her palms.
"I can't stay here for long. I have to go."
She touched the black bird's head, causing it to narrow its orange eyes and roll around in her palm, like a small fiery red ball.
"But..." Ningning spun the silver fairy leaf in her hand and smiled in a low voice, "I have a gift for you."
=====
Xuanniao failed to find the culprit who stole the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf, and returned to the top of the cliff full of resentment, only to see broken eggshells all over the ground.
The child it had been waiting for a hundred years was turning around at the bottom of the egg. When it heard footsteps, it looked up blankly, its round little eyes blinking, full of new life.
The black bird cub was in poor health. After walking a few steps, it fell down. Its wings shook weakly and it was too weak to make any sound.
Next to the cub, two round leaves were placed neatly. The refreshing spiritual energy swept over its heart in an instant, making it stand there in a daze.
That turned out to be... the Tianxin grass that it had been searching for for a hundred years.
It is also the only treasure that can ensure that its children grow up safely.
What kind of person could snatch it from the Spirit in the Stone, and at this moment... give it away for free.
It is simply unbelievable to give up such a precious spiritual plant.
In addition to Tianxin grass, there was also a small note in the eggshell.
Xuanniao picked it up gently, the cold murderous intent in his eyes faded away, and a smile gradually appeared.
[In order to save lives, we had to pick the Silver Silk Fairy Leaves. As an apology, we specially gave the Tianxin Grass to Madam. ］
There is another line of words below: [Children, grow up safely. ］
=====
When Ningning returned to the ancient wood forest, He Zhizhou and Xu Ye followed her.
The reason why they lived in the Vajra Shield before was because the Black Bird had super strong perception. Once it sensed that the Vajra Shield was broken, it would fly in to hunt for food.
Now that it has a cub, it will not be distracted by other things for the time being, and the group of monks finally get the chance to leave Changyue Peak.
The ancient forest returned to its original appearance after a hard battle. Su Qinghan and Pei Ji temporarily lived in a cave. The moment he saw Pei Ji, even someone as broad-minded as He Zhizhou couldn't help but frown.
Fortunately, he was wearing black clothes. If it were any other color, it would have been dyed into a dark red or almost black color.
The arms and neck exposed outside the clothes were covered with several bloody scratches. Although they had been wiped briefly, the bloody marks could still be seen. His face was paler than a piece of paper, and he frowned and bit his lips tightly as if to suppress a moan.
What was even more surprising was the strong demonic aura surrounding him.
He Zhizhou knew that Pei Ji possessed the blood of the demon clan, but he had never imagined that the overflow of demonic energy would result in such a scene.
The pure black fog was so strong that it seemed to be a physical entity, completely enveloping him. The blood quietly melted into the thick fog, like poisonous snakes that took people's lives, gradually gathering together and condensing into a dark abyss of purgatory.
The teardrop mole under the eye was strangely red, like dried blood beads that could not be wiped away.
With this appearance, why does he need a whetstone? Can't he just sharpen himself?
Ning Ning happened to bring the alchemy furnace with her. After refining the medicinal materials under Su Qinghan's guidance, she hurriedly gave them to Pei Ji for him to take.
The boy was possessed by a demon and fell into a coma. After swallowing the medicine with great difficulty, there was still no movement.
After all this trouble, Ningning was exhausted. After feeding the pills, she leaned lazily against the stone wall of the cave, closed her eyes and took a short rest.
He Zhizhou knew that she was running around in a panic, so he immediately suggested going out with the other two to find some food to reward the girl.
Before leaving, Su Qinghan pondered for a moment and specifically instructed: "Junior Brother Pei Ji is now trapped by the demon nightmare, Junior Sister Ning Ning should try to follow his lead to prevent him from becoming distracted and possessed by the demon."
So only Ningning and Pei Ji were left in the cave.
She had been busy fighting wits and courage for the past two days, and had been jumping back and forth on the brink of life and death. Although she was bored at the moment, she was too tired to move. She looked around and finally her eyes stopped on Pei Ji's face.
Pei Ji is much more obedient when he is asleep than when he is awake.
He always has a stern face when he is sober. Even if he smiles occasionally, it is always a malicious sneer or ridicule. He doesn't seem like a male protagonist. He is more like an ultimate villain boss.
But once he fell asleep, all the cold and brutal aura like swords and knives disappeared.
The evil spirit has disappeared, but the pain in the body still tortures me even in my sleep. Pei Ji looked like a handsome young man. At this moment, his long eyelashes were slightly drooping, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his narrow eyes were slightly raised, and his body was shaking from time to time, which made him look a bit thin and fragile for no reason.
Like a scarred little beast.
But at that time, in front of the thousand-year-old dragon blood tree, the sword intent he exuded was as cruel as purgatory.
Ningning was watching casually when she suddenly noticed Pei Ji's brows trembling slightly.
He was severely tortured by the evil spirit, probably because he had a nightmare. He called out in a hoarse and indistinguishable voice: "...get out of the way."
Ningning's heart skipped a beat.
This, this kind of plot, this kind of plot is too familiar!
The hero had a nightmare while he was unconscious, and the heroine happened to be with him. Then the woman will hug him without hesitation and say that classic line -
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
——Pooh, pooh, pooh! She wouldn't do that!
Is this what should happen when the vicious female supporting character and the male lead get along?
Even if she was soft-hearted for a moment and really did such disgusting things as mentioned above, according to the role positioning of the vicious female supporting role, it is certain that the male protagonist will wake up, think that he has been taken advantage of, stir-fry her, stew her, and finally send her to the crematorium.
Ningning had a wooden face and turned her head to the other side.
There was a cough in my ear, followed by a sound of inhaling like a broken bellows.
It was a bit miserable, intermittent, as if he was going to die in the next second.
...She won't be soft-hearted.
Ningning thought very hard that Pei Ji was not in a very miserable state, he was just performing ventriloquism.
Pei Ji's head seemed to have hit a rock, and there was a dull sound.
His usually strong voice was now extremely soft, with a hint of tears in it: "Don't go, I..."
The following sentence was too vague for Ningning to hear clearly.
Okay, this is the second person to say "don't go" to her.
The first was the PE teacher during the 800-meter test, who solemnly shouted at her at the end of the team: "Don't walk, run!"
Ningning was lost in thought and tried to ignore him. but……
Damn it! Why is he acting so pathetic!
Anyway, Pei Ji was unconscious and had no idea what he had done to her. Although she didn't know if this would work, Ning Ning gritted her teeth secretly, walked up to him and touched his head roughly.
There was a wonderful furry and cold touch in her hand. She deliberately lowered her voice and said fiercely: "I'm not being nice to you, I just find your shouting annoying... Don't cry, okay? You're already so old, do you still have any dignity? If you make another sound, I'll beat you up!"
Of course Pei Ji would not respond. As if to follow the sudden warmth above his head, he rubbed his head against her palm.
Then he let out a very low sound, still with a lost and sad tone, as if he was trying hard to endure the pain.
Ningning: ...
Ning Ning couldn't really beat him up, so she softened her voice and tentatively said to herself, "You can't hear it, can you? Your male lead is a problem. He needs others to talk to him softly while he's asleep. Fortunately, I don't have such a role. But in fact, people who are asleep can't hear others talking, right? Aren't those so-called 'I will accompany you' really just a one-man show?"
Pei Ji was indifferent to all this trash talk. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. His lips were bitten by his teeth and a trace of scarlet blood flowed out.
Ning Ning was startled by his rapid breathing. She remembered Senior Sister Su's instructions before she left, and hurried to make up for her loss. She patted his head randomly and said, "Don't, don't be sad! You see, I'm actually quite good to you. Do you know how hard I tried to get the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf? I almost died. For the sake of your little sister's Tianxin Grass that was sent away, you have to hold on--"
Before she could finish her words, her expression and voice froze.
Purely scared.
Pei Ji was actually woken up by her beeping and opened his eyes without warning.
The devilish aura in his eyes had not yet disappeared, and was still covered with dense bloodshot like spider webs. His look was far from friendly, and it was like a rain of razor blades falling from the sky, clattering down on Ningning.
Ningning's first reaction was to move her right hand away from his head expressionlessly.
Then he laughed dryly: "There's a bug in your avatar, just swat it and it'll go away, haha."
The two Haha looked particularly lonely and sad. Before Pei Ji could say anything, he heard Cheng Ying yelling in his heart: "Pei Ji, she sacrificed all the Tianxin grass to save you!"
After a pause, he added seriously, "There is no bug on your head. You were possessed by a nightmare, so Ningning touched your head to comfort you."
Although he lost consciousness, Chengying saw everything clearly.
In order to maintain her character as a vicious female supporting actress, Ning Ning continued to talk nonsense: "Before you had a nightmare, He Zhizhou even touched your head and comforted you for a few words."
Chengying: “Tsk tsk.”
"Also, what a coincidence, when I went to Changyue Peak, I happened to find the Silver Silk Fairy Leaf that could cure you, and I brought it back with me."
Chengying: “Tsk tsk.”
Ning Ning touched the tip of her nose guiltily and said, "Um, are you feeling better?"
Pei Ji suppressed his splitting headache and replied with an unchanged expression: "Yes. Thank you, Senior Sister."
He always spoke his mind without hiding anything: "Pei Ji will definitely repay this kindness with all his strength."
Ning Ning immediately responded: "No need!"
——If she becomes the male protagonist's benefactor, how will the plot go? It's completely out of place and will collapse completely.
Chengying sighed, "I knew she would say that. Ningning is such a fool. Why does she always do things silently without asking for anything in return? I feel so sorry for her. Only the Buddha knows how much I feel for her."
Pei Ji was a little annoyed by its nagging. He moved his eyes away from Ningning's face and looked at the ground, where he happened to see the hem of the little girl's skirt.
She was wearing a very common street dress, and her fair and slender ankles could be vaguely seen under the hem of her skirt. This was a scene that was totally out of place for him, who was covered in blood. Suddenly, a breeze blew by, lifting the hem of his skirt.
A clear gap gradually spread out, extending all the way to the knees.
Ningning's skirt was torn somewhere, from the bottom to the knees, and at a glance, the girl's calves could be seen.
Pei Ji pursed his lips and looked away.
"What's wrong?"
Ningning noticed that he had a strange expression and looked down in the direction Pei Ji was looking. After a long while of vague recollection, she finally remembered that this should be the crack she had made in the rocks on the top of the cliff.
Pei Ji didn't say anything. He picked up the blood-stained bag from the ground, searched inside for a while, and actually took out...
A set of needle and thread?
Ningning was confused.
According to her understanding of this person, his package should contain sword manuals, knives and various panaceas. The abruptness of this set of needlework is similar to that of Ultraman fighting Teletubbies and Guan Gong marrying an alien.
Pei Ji noticed the surprise in her eyes, turned his face away from her, and said in a hoarse and dry voice: "Will it?"
Ning Ning shook her head: "No."
"… Then sit down."
These four words were spoken with such finality and force that it was impossible to refuse.
But it was Pei Ji who said such words, the Pei Ji who had just challenged the ten thousand year old dragon blood tree with a single sword, who now had his long eyelashes drooping and was carefully threading the thread into the needle hole.
This is too magical.
Ningning almost suspected that this person had been possessed by another soul. After all, the original novel always described the hero as someone who looked unlucky and pretentious, and it was never mentioned in a single sentence. How could Pei Ji actually do this?
She sat down as she was told and looked at the wounds all over his body: "Are your injuries okay?"
Pei Ji laughed at himself, his voice was very cold: "It's just moving your fingers, no problem."
"oh."
Ningning nodded. She was really curious. Seeing Pei Ji leaning over and lowering his head in front of her, she could only see his black eyelashes that looked like small fans. "Amazing! When did you learn this?"
“When I was a kid.”
Ning Ning was happy: "Since you can do this, then you can also cook, make fried rice and wash clothes, right?"
Pei Ji's eyes were fixed on the torn edge of her skirt, and he tried hard not to look at the girl's smooth calves under the skirt. His slender fingers flew down skillfully, and he replied briefly: "Yeah."
The little girl opened her eyes wide and said anxiously, "When He Zhizhou and I were making candied bananas before, did you secretly laugh at us for being clumsy?"
Pei Ji paused.
He actually laughed very softly, his eyes and eyebrows stained with familiar laziness and carelessness, his voice was still hoarse: "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
The answer is not relevant to the question.
Ningning understood: "That's just a joke!"
Isn't this similar to the top student secretly hiding in a group of poor students, and saying "I don't know anything either" after the exam, but in fact he has already been secretly criticizing the idiots around him!
Damn, Pei Ji is really scheming.
"No, no, you've kept it a secret from us for so long, you have to cook a meal for everyone when you get back."
Ning Ning said seriously: "And you still owe me the spiritual stones! Do you know how expensive Tianxin grass is? I owed you this to save--"
wrong.
According to what she had said before, she just "conveniently" picked the silver fairy leaves and brought them back to Pei Ji.
Pei Ji still responded in a calm tone: "Yeah."
Ningning stopped talking after she stuttered and stared intently at Pei Ji's hands.
His hands were slender and white, and should have been very beautiful, but their beauty was ruined by old injuries and calluses from holding the sword - yes, this hand should have been holding a sword in a sea of blood and corpses.
But at this moment, she was holding a needle and thread, helping her sew a very ordinary skirt.
She was tickled by the strange feeling of being laughed at and a light and quick laugh came out of her throat. Unexpectedly, after hearing the laugh, Pei Ji raised his eyes expressionlessly.
Ningning tried hard to purse her lips and looked at him innocently.
When he lowered his head again, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and his skirt swayed, drowning out the boy's pale knuckles.
"Senior sister."
Pei Ji's tone was very hard: "Laugh if you want to."
"Sorry, sorry."
She propped her cheek up with her hand and put her arm on her knees: "I just thought, I didn't expect you to know so much."
But come to think of it, he has been a loner since he was young, so basic survival skills like this must be no problem for him.
It was not until then that Ningning finally began to examine Pei Ji seriously.
Before, in her mind, "Pei Ji" had always been synonymous with the male protagonist, full of luck, the chosen one, the protagonist of a cool novel, but now it seems that all these labels are not enough to describe the real him.
In fact, as of now, his life has nothing to do with those high-sounding words.
How strange.
Ningning was absorbed in her thoughts, and her eyes were fixed on his cheek. In the vast expanse of white, there is suddenly a sudden touch of red.
——It turned out to be a drop of dried blood solidified on the boy’s earlobe.
"Don't move."
She stretched out her hand without thinking too much, and when her fingertips touched the blood drop, she clearly felt Pei Ji's movements suddenly pause: "There is a drop of blood here."
The soft flesh of the earlobe is extremely gentle. Ningning's movements are very gentle. When she slowly presses the earlobe, imperceptible electric currents quietly spread.
A little itchy.
Pei Ji had never had such close contact with anyone.
She wiped the drop of blood away bit by bit, but because the bloodstain stayed for too long, it left a bloodstain that was difficult to wipe off.
Ningning was a good person to the end. Since the thick blush could not be wiped off easily, she put on a stern face and increased her strength. But after trying for a while, the bloodstain not only did not get lighter, but became deeper.
etc.
Deeper……?
Ningning, like Pei Ji in front of her, stopped moving in a daze.
The color on his ears was still very obvious, as if the sunset glow had been plucked from the horizon, completely soaking his fair skin.
Very popular.
It turns out that this is not a bloodstain.
But his whole ear really turned red.
=====
After everyone finished their meal, it was time for Xu Ye and Su Qinghan to say goodbye to the three people.
"I heard that many disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are stationed together, so my senior sister and I want to join in the fun."
Xu Ye said with some reluctance: "The secret realm is about to end, we will meet again if we are lucky."
He thought for a while, and finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time in a very tactful tone: "Promise me that you will not use the alchemy furnace to burn those strange things in the future, especially the things from the night before coming to the secret realm, okay?"
He Zhizhou blinked in bewilderment. "The night before coming to the secret realm? Oh! You mean our candied bananas!"
Xu Ye:?
Xu Ye: "Pulled... banana?"
“Although it looks ugly, it tastes absolutely amazing!”
He Zhizhou immediately became interested: "Ningning happened to bring the alchemy furnace and sugar, and we found several bananas before. Why don't I take this opportunity to make you a portion to try."
So He Zhizhou really gave him a crooked dark brown object that looked like a small snake.
According to him, the strange color was what the syrup looked like after solidifying. Although it looks disgusting, it tastes sweet.
But even though he knew that it was just a banana, its horrible appearance made Xu Ye have no appetite at all to try it. After much thought, I decided to keep it in my hand as a parting gift between friends.
He and Su Qinghan said goodbye to the other three people, followed the map, and soon arrived at the Wanjian Sect’s base.
There were several friends at the scene who were on good terms with him. The moment they saw Xu Ye, they all showed expressions of extreme shock.
Everyone stared motionlessly at the candied banana in his hand.
Alas, these kids are still too young after all.
He was like this at the beginning, believing everything he heard and never seriously seeking the truth. He just took a few glances and decided that it was vulgar.
"This is all a misunderstanding. This thing is actually edible. If you don't believe me, just try it."
Xu Ye looked determined and raised the banana to his mouth. In order to convince everyone that this was real food, I decided to eat it myself first.
——But in the eyes of other people in the Wanjian Sect, it was completely different.
They had heard from Xu Ye before about the ridiculous events of the Xuanxu Sword Sect that night. Now, their junior fellow apprentice finally managed to escape from Xuanxu Sect and return to the main force, but in his hand he was holding... the same thing as that group of people.
He actually kept saying that the thing was edible.
Oh my God, this is too horrible! ! !
Junior Brother Xu Ye’s brain was eaten by the Xuanxu Sword Sect?
Someone has already shouted at the top of his voice: "No! Junior Brother Xu! Shut up!"
Xu Ye smiled evilly, stuffed the strangely colored cylindrical object into his mouth, and then bit it hard.
He wanted to use practical actions to tell them that this was really just a simple and ordinary meal, and that everyone should not look at the Xuanxu Sword Sect with tinted glasses.
The banana brings a rich and refreshing sweet aroma when you take a bite. The syrup on the outside is sweet but not greasy, which can easily capture the hearts of diners.
The taste was unexpectedly delicious. Xu Ye's lips curled up slightly, revealing a look of great pleasure, and his eyes curved in satisfaction.
"Mm, sweet and tasty, soft and delicious, absolutely wonderful."
Xu Ye laughed and said, preparing to give everyone a big surprise: "You will never imagine that it is actually-"
Having said this, his whole face suddenly froze.
And so on.
Why... there is a sudden cramp in my stomach.
Before Xu Ye could understand the situation, he rolled his eyes. The last thought before losing consciousness was just six words:
Could it be... that bananas are poisonous!
——Oh no, he hasn’t told everyone yet, this is really just a banana!
The disciples of Wanjian Sect will never forget the fear they felt when they were dominated by Xu Ye on that day.
Junior Brother Xu was holding something dirty in his hand without realizing it, and in public, he insisted on tasting it.
He stuffed the object into his mouth without hesitation, and in that extremely brief moment, he revealed an expression of great enjoyment. Then he rolled his eyes and a bunch of white foam came out of his mouth.

Su Qinghan: ...
What are they talking about?
"Oh, that's bad."
On the other side of the secret realm, Ning Ning, bored, was flipping through the map of Xiaochong Mountain. Her finger landed on a small line of words: [Chaotianjiao, slightly bitter and slightly poisonous. Eating it will cause limb twitching and foaming at the mouth. ］
