Liu Ying had heard of the name "Pei Ji".
She had been thinking about him for a long time. It just so happened that information flowed most quickly in Neon Island among all the sects. With just a little inquiry, she could learn a lot about Pei Ji.
For example, he was originally an unknown outer sect disciple, but he became famous in a competition and became the personal disciple of Elder Tianxian.
For example, he has a cold and aloof personality. Apart from Ning Ning, his fellow student, he seems to have no other friends.
Liu Ying was born with a pretty face since she was young, and she is pretty, which makes her particularly popular when interacting with others. No matter men or women, when they see her, they will always subconsciously take a few more glances at her and treat her a little more favorably.
This is even more so after learning the true secrets of Neon Island. There are always people who lose their composure because of a word or a look from her, and the so-called upright gentlemen and elegant ladies are all jokes.
To almost all the charmers in Neon Island, the admirers who come up to them are as cheap as grass, and Liu Ying is no exception.
She never liked things that were too easy to get. Rather than easily teasing a playboy, she preferred to watch the noble ones sink, the innocent ones get stained with dirt, and the decent talents who disdained her get deeper and deeper into it and become her own toys.
Pei Ji is a prey that meets all the criteria.
Now that she had finally been able to get close to the Xuanxu Sect, she had been fed up with those two fools and was determined to use all her tricks to capture Pei Ji.
"Miss Liu." Ning Ning came back from exploring the way and asked her with a smile, "How was your rest?"
Liu Ying restrained her expression, pretended to be weak and propped herself up by holding onto the tree trunk, and coughed appropriately: "It's okay, I will definitely not hold you back, Miss Ningning, please rest assured."
He Zhizhou was still immersed in the beautiful dark blue light of static electricity. When he saw her get up and leave, he sighed reluctantly. I don't know what I remembered, and I slapped my forehead as if I had a flash of inspiration: "Miss Liu, let me continue to tell you the story of atoms and electrons!"
Liu Ying: Get out of here! She doesn't want to listen!
"The story that Brother He told is indeed interesting."
Liu Ying laughed dryly. When facing a fool, even the excuses she made up seemed particularly careless: "But I have internal injuries. If I think too much, it will affect my sea of consciousness and give me a splitting headache. You should save up what you want to say first and tell me all of it tomorrow."
He Zhizhou was probably just like her, and hadn't figured out the connection between using the brain, the sea of consciousness, and headaches. But hearing her say that, it seemed to be quite reasonable and irrefutable, so he shut up self-awarely, fearing that Miss Liu would suffer because of his own reasons.
After saying goodbye to the fool, it's time to implement the second step of the plan.
Liu Ying is very proactive and has planned everything long ago.
She is now "weak and sickly with internal injuries", which can arouse the sympathy and protective desire of others. Not only that, but there are also sufficient reasons -
"oops!"
The woman in the white dress let out a low cry of surprise, lost her balance and fell straight towards Pei Ji.
This was her first move to approach Pei Ji. She took advantage of her delicate and weak personality and made a direct fall on him.
As we all know, the heroine in the storybook can fall down in various places. When climbing a mountain, going up the stairs, when the ground is slippery due to rain, or even when walking on flat ground, she would inevitably "accidentally twist her ankle" and fall into the arms of the hero.
What will surely follow is a series of ambiguous entanglements, blushing and heartbeats. No matter whether the two people knew each other before, their relationship will be greatly enhanced.
The angle at which Liu Ying fell was extremely perfect. Even if Pei Ji hadn't deliberately reached out to catch her, she would have fallen right on his shoulder.
She had used this trick many times, so she had mastered it to perfection. Seeing the young man in black next to her glance at her lightly, she moved.
He should have stepped sideways to catch her.
But Pei Ji just looked at her expressionlessly, and after showing a look of extreme annoyance and boredom, he made a tactical retreat and took a step back.
Take a step back.
The girl who fell straight down and the boy who avoided her briefly met each other's eyes, and the smooth arc of her fall outlined an incomparably beautiful line.
Until her head fell straight to the ground, Liu Ying maintained an expression of disbelief, her eyes as round and big as a bowl of wide noodles.
This man actually dodged her advances without hesitation, leaving the beautiful girl lying on the ground sadly.
Is it because she is not pretty enough or not standing tall enough?
This is not the worst.
Pei Ji seems normal, but he is actually different from those two idiots in another way.
His abnormality seems so abnormal, which shows that this person is really abnormal.
After avoiding the fallen Liu Ying, he turned a blind eye to the tragic scene, walked right past her and continued walking forward.
Really, just like that, I went around it and never looked back from beginning to end.
Liu Ying: ...?
She had no place to vent her frustration, grievance and confusion, but she didn't know that in Pei Ji's heart, there was already a middle-aged uncle's voice laughing like a donkey.
"Hahahahaha well done Pei Xiaoji! It's obvious from the looks of this woman that she's trying to hook up with you, don't pay any attention to her!"
It spoke passionately and with high morale: "Let me tell you, people are easily jealous. If Ningning saw you getting close to her, she would definitely be unhappy. Just imagine how you felt when you knew that Ningning bought the night-shining pearl for the dragon. It must have been hard for her."
Pei Ji frowned: "That's not jealousy."
"Ah, aye, aye, alright, alright. It's not 'jealous'."
Chengying spoke in a sarcastic tone, and every word he said was full of sarcasm: "I just felt a little depressed and unhappy for no apparent reason. Neither of us understands the source of our unhappiness. This is a thousand-year-old mystery in the world of immortal cultivation."
Pei Ji stopped talking.
He knew that the woman had ill intentions. If Ningning had not insisted on keeping her, he would have taken away all the tokens from her. Not to mention letting Liu Ying fall, he would have no psychological burden even if he beat her half to death in a fight.
——For Pei Ji, most of the people around him are like steamed buns. No one will remember how many steamed buns he has eaten, and he will never care how many people have been defeated by him.
Steamed buns are not differentiated by gender.
The steamed bun man who was left far behind seemed to be helped up by Ningning. He thanked him in a mournful manner, but still moved towards him without giving up.
"Mr. Pei, did I make you unhappy in some way?"
She stumbled as she walked, a layer of light pink in the color of peach blossom appeared at the corners of her eyes, which made her look truly pitiful. "If there is anything I did wrong, I can change it. Please don't hate me, okay?"
Chengying was mumbling in his heart: "Oh, no! He hates you always pestering him, why don't you change it."
Seeing that Pei Ji didn't want to pay attention, Liu Ying continued: "I was born in poverty, and my strength is low in the sect. I have been looked down upon by others since I grew up. So far, I have tried not to mention hundreds, but ninety-nine times, but to no avail... Do you, Master Pei, think that I am a waste and look down on me?"
She put a lot of thought into what she said.
Born in poverty and growing up under cold eyes is clearly a microcosm of Pei Ji's own life. Now that it is applied to her, it will surely make him feel a sense of sympathy and let down his guard to comfort her.
Pei Ji didn't even look at her this time: "Yeah."
Liu Ying was confused.
What did he say?
"Um"? ? ? Is this a human? ? ?
Chengying, who was watching the show, was very happy: "It's okay, girl. As long as you try harder, you will definitely succeed - success will make it a hundred times to fail a hundred times, hahaha."
As an outstanding disciple of Mei Xiu, Liu Ying had never experienced such a Waterloo in her life.
Although there had been men who looked down on her, they at least still had some conscience, except Pei Ji.
If He Zhizhou and Xu Ye are humanoid unidentified creatures, then he is a higher-level species, a humanoid steel plate.
Don't be angry, calm down.
Pei Ji has always been alone and has never had contact with many women, so he must be ignorant about matters between men and women. If she wanted to lure him into the trap, hints that were too subtle and vague would definitely not work. She had to be more straightforward and take the initiative to express her affection.
"Mr. Pei, you don't know something."
The West Mountain was steaming hot. Liu Ying tried hard to suppress her restlessness and anger, her eyes filled with tears of grievance: "Ever since the incident in the ancient forest, I have admired a young swordsman from the Xuanxu Sword Sect for a long time. But he never looked at me, until this Ten Dharma Assembly, I finally had the opportunity to meet him."
As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Ji secretly, and what she saw was the young man's delicate and cold profile, like a jade carving.
This face was her only motivation to hold on. As soon as she saw it, her tone became more sincere and heartfelt: "He will never know how hard I tried to find out about him. I even thought of putting myself in a box as a gift for him."
This time Pei Ji finally looked at her, and a tiny crack appeared on his calm expression.
It worked!
The implication in her words was clear; the young swordsman who had been admired for a long time was obviously Pei Ji himself. He must have understood the meaning of this and couldn't help but be moved.
Then Liu Ying heard him frown and ask, "Why did you give him your urn?"
Liu Ying: ...
Who is she, where is she, what is she going to do.
How desperate was she to get involved with this group of sword cultivators?
The hot wind from the mountain made her head dizzy. Liu Ying could vaguely hear Pei Ji's voice again: "Miss Li."
He asked, "You Liuming Mountain's music practitioners, are you not practicing the zither, but your tongue?"
Perhaps because he saw that she looked dazed, he simply added straight to the point: "You are annoying, get out of the way."
plum. Aunt. mother.
It took Liu Ying a while to realize that this "Miss Li" was talking about her.
——Please be a human being! ! ! It's been so long that I don't even remember her last name! ! !
Liu Ying choked on a mouthful of blood and forced a smile: "Mr. Pei, my last name is Liu."
If Pei Ji was a normal person, he should have apologized with embarrassment at this moment.
But he just frowned, with an expression that said "are you sick?", and said the most unreasonable line in the most self-righteous tone: "What's your name? It has nothing to do with me."
Liu Ying: ...
She lost this battle.
I was defeated completely and sincerely convinced.
Those two fools could at least remember her name. After spending some time with Pei Ji, Liu Ying began to miss He Zhizhou's electrons and charges. For the first time in her life, she felt that science was so beautiful and colorful.
"Mr. Pei," she took a deep breath and made a final struggle, "Are you so fed up with me?"
Pei Ji didn't say anything.
——This man was already very impatient and started to raise his hand to draw his sword! ! !
“Wait, wait!”
Sword energy surged, and murderous intent was everywhere. Liu Ying quickly took a step back: "I stayed here because Miss Ningning allowed me to. You, you can't hurt me!"
"Senior sister is senior sister, and I am me."
Pei Ji sneered, his dark eyes showing even more hostility, with a hint of scornful ridicule: "Do I have to follow her orders when I do things?"
She was completely speechless now.
If you stay with a fool, you will go crazy, but if you stay with a madman, you will die!
"What's wrong?"
Fortunately, Ning Ning came to Liu Ying's side during the stalemate. She smiled and glanced at Pei Ji, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Are you unhappy?"
Compared to Pei Ji who was about to draw his sword and kill someone, her smile was so pure, flawless and beautiful, like a goddess descending, radiant with light.
What the hell are those stinky men?
A gentle and kind girl, isn’t she cute?
Liu Ying's eyes turned red, and she hugged Ning Ning's arm, with a faint scent of tea emanating from her body: "It's okay, Master Pei is a good person, it's my own fault that I made him angry..."
Ning Ning smiled softly after hearing this, and her eyes met Pei Ji's: "Don't always be harsh when talking to girls, be careful not to scare them, understand?"
Pei Ji turned his face away, his voice a little muffled: "... Yeah."
Liu Ying: Haha.
Get out! That's not what you said before! If you have the guts, put on that arrogant face and say "Senior sister is senior sister and I am me", you stinky man!
She absolutely didn't want to stay with this man anymore.
The steel plate is not suitable for survival in the human world. Please destroy it by yourself, Pei Ji. Thank you.
"Miss Liu, you're back!"
Seeing Liu Ying slowly moving from Pei Ji to them, He Zhizhou greeted her cheerfully: "What did you talk about with Junior Brother Pei?"
Liu Ying's mouth twitched. Liu Ying: "Let's continue discussing positive and negative charges."
=====
"It turns out that the Burning Sun Bow is blocked behind that waterfall!"
The group continued to walk up the mountainside and reached the top of the mountain while talking. After listening to Qiao Yan's description of the Burning Sun Bow, He Zhizhou suddenly realized, "So there are mirror ghosts in other water bodies, but only that place is a pure land, because it is protected by the divine bow!"
Qiao Yan nodded: "There is a secret door behind the waterfall. Just put the jade pendant on the gap of the secret door and it will open."
She paused after she finished speaking, letting the hot, fishy wind brush across the dense snow-white fur on her ears. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction not far away: "Everyone, please look, that cave is where the Fire Phoenix lives."
The higher you go, the more stuffy the air becomes.
You can still see the remains of old trees crawling on the hillside, but here it is barren and lifeless.
The rolling hot air turned into visible waves. Occasionally, strong winds whistled in, blowing up the reddish-brown dry soil on the ground and casting a blurry and dim veil over the vision.
Looking around, there is a bit of the temperament of lonely smoke in the desert. The vast sky above the head is clear blue, and the azure blue sets off the scarlet everywhere, as if it is two completely different worlds.
A cave stands high on the top of a mountain. The air around it is visibly distorted by the heat wave, and the floating red sand is connected into pieces, which makes people feel uncomfortable both visually and tactilely.
"The fire of the Fire Phoenix is different from ordinary things. Please be careful."
Qiao Yan resumed the mature demeanor she had when they first met, and said to everyone in a deep voice, "If anything unexpected happens on this trip, please flee as soon as possible... I will do my best to cover your rear and protect you all."
He Zhizhou comforted her seriously: "Are we the kind of people who hide behind a little girl? Of course not! Don't worry, with our strength, there will be no problem."
Qiao Yan smiled hesitantly and said thank you softly.
On the way here, they discussed how to deal with the Fire Phoenix. Although they didn't come to any useful conclusions, as sword cultivators, they just had to draw their swords and be done with it.
When we reached the entrance of West Mountain Cave, the annoying heat became hotter and hotter, and it was like an airtight steamer all around, making people feel uncontrollably upset.
He Zhizhou had said those heroic words before, and now he had to put them into practice himself and take the lead in entering the cave.
Unexpectedly, before I was halfway inside, I suddenly heard a sharp and piercing bird cry -
Immediately, a strong wind blew up, and a tide of fire tore through the layers of darkness, roaring out from the cave and rushing straight towards the cave entrance!
Pei Ji's expression was slightly stern, and he stood in front of Ning Ning in an instant, using his sword energy to resist the raging flames; Ning Ning pulled Qiao Yan beside her and protected the little girl behind her.
Liu Ying had never expected such a scene. She was about to dodge and flee when she heard Xu Ye's exclamation:
"Miss Liu, be careful!"
The art of Neon Island is best at concealment and stealth. The disciples on the island all had ghostly movements, and she was the most outstanding one among them.
Liu Ying could have dodged without any effort, but when she heard Xu Ye's desperate roar, she knew that he was going to be a hero and save the beauty. In addition, her goal had not been achieved yet, and she could not destroy her image as a weak and innocent girl. She immediately calmed down and looked up at him: "Master Xu, save me!"
What happened next was exactly as she had imagined.
God can testify, the plot has collapsed for so long, and finally there is a normal plot in the book. Liu Ying felt that the daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, and tears were streaming down her face in her heart.
Xu Ye rushed towards her with a panicked look, pulled the girl's arm up with force, and then spun her around.
Her skirt fluttered, her clothes fluttered, and when their eyes met, Liu Ying looked pitiful with red eyes, while the young man in front of her was determined to leave, and that moment was eternity.
She watched Xu Ye suddenly grit his teeth, his eyes filled with generosity and indignation before his heroic death. With bloodshot eyes, he used his body as a shield and resolutely blocked the flames.
——Liu Ying was in front and he was behind.
With that pull, she used her entire body as a barrier, blocking him.
Liu Ying: ...
Liu Ying: It’s your mother! ! ! You are not human! ! !
The rolling heat waves hit her face and rushed onto the loose hair on her forehead and temples. She stood firm as a human shield and endured too much alone.
Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix lived deep in the cave, some distance away from the entrance, so when the raging fire reached them, it was just an extremely hot air wave that quickly disappeared.
Liu Ying was still in a daze when she heard He Zhizhou's voice in her ear, with a rather dissatisfied tone: "Xu Ye, as cultivators, how can we let Miss Liu stand in front of us? A man should be upright and look at what you are saying now!"
She was silent for a moment, her expression as stiff as if she had injected too much Botox, and she looked back with her blackened face.
He Zhizhou's legs went weak and he crawled out from behind Xu Ye.
——The result is that Xu Ye hid behind her, and you hid behind Xu Ye! Is there any difference between you two? How can I have the nerve to teach him a lesson? How can I have the nerve to do that! ! !
When He Zhizhou saw her, his eyes were horrified as if he had seen a ghost, and he said in a trembling voice: "Miss Liu, your hair - don't be sad when you look in the mirror later, just think of it as a free perm at Xishan. Trendy hairstyle, Maitreya Buddha-style instant noodles, solar light bulb forehead... this, that... a little unique and quite something, especially rock and roll, you can try to be the first music practitioner to play rock and roll, holding a guqin and playing randomly, it will definitely rock the whole audience."
Liu Ying didn't understand his nonsense, and didn't want to know what she looked like now.
In the firelight, she was like a diligent old hen in the game of eagle catching chicks, standing motionless at the front.
The two chicks behind him were poking their heads out and swaying from side to side, like conjoined twins with not-so-high IQs.
As a Mei Xiu, she has received professional training and generally does not get angry easily.
Unless you really can't help it.
Liu Ying took a deep breath.
It's her bad luck to meet these two idiots at the most beautiful age.
