Chapter 101 Water Ghost 24
Zhou Qingyan's brain seemed to have lost the ability to think at this moment. The thick fog covered with sticky water stains that surged out of his body seemed to have been suddenly paused. Even the mud stuck to the ceiling stopped wriggling, and a huge, dilapidated hole was corroded on the wall.
There was a trace of blood mist in his eyes, and his whole body was dazed, in stark contrast to his usual bad expression. His eyes were glued to Yu Jiao's fingers on his chin. She didn't use much strength, but he felt numbness and pain where she was holding him. The back of his head hit the edge of the coffee table, and the sharp corners made his skull hurt. If Yu Jiao wasn't used to being impulsive, he would really be afraid that she was deliberately murdering him.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Qingyan maintained the position of being pressed under him and asked expectantly.
Seeing that his frightening expression had faded, Yu Jiao wondered if he'd gone mad again. She hummed a perfunctory "hmm" twice, the hand at her waist disapproving of her attitude. She had no choice but to speak, "Yes, it's true. I'm not lying."
Zhou Qingyan was still a little uneasy. Yu Jiao didn't look like she was serious. Although she said something that made him happy, her outward actions gave him a heart attack - as if she was a pet being toyed with at will.
He was dissatisfied with her attitude: "Yu Jiao...you..."
He was interrupted by her action in the middle of his words.
Whenever Zhou Qingyan was in a bad mood, the black fog around him would suddenly thicken, transforming from a hazy black gas into sticky dirty mud that seemed to be dripping with water. Yu Jiao's attention was attracted by the black mud surrounding him. She tentatively reached out to grab the thick fog and threw it to the ground with a "plop".
The black mist that fell to the ground turned into a thin liquid.
Yu Jiao became interested and released the hand that was pinching his chin. She concentrated on dealing with the thick fog around Zhou Qingyan's body. She pulled it out and threw it away, repeating this action. Gradually, she found that Zhou Qingyan's complexion became more normal, and the bloodshot in his eyes faded and finally turned into a light red.
She knew that this black mist could fuel Zhou Qingyan's malice.
Zhou Qingyan looked powerlessly at Yu Jiao who was sitting there eager to try. His whole body was pressed underneath him. He wanted to stop her, but he thought she was very cute now that she was not afraid of him. After a moment of silence, he had to rest the back of his head on a not too sharp place and stare quietly at Yu Jiao's smug expression. She seemed to have obtained some mysterious martial arts secrets and was eager to succeed immediately and wipe out the evil forces.
Yu Jiao pinched the swaying black mist, pulled it out mercilessly and threw it to the ground: "Zhou Qingyan, wait a minute... Pull them all out and you'll be normal again. You've been so scary lately, it must be them..."
“…Not them.”
Zhou Qingyan uttered a word weakly, but unfortunately Yu Jiao didn't hear it. He wanted to say that the black mist was his incarnation, a part of his body, but as more of the black mist was drawn away, he fell to the ground powerlessly. Even though he had no strength left, his palms were still stubbornly stuck to her waist. It didn't seem like a grasp, but more like they were stuck by some strong glue.
The black mist surrounding him was formed by his power. If a living person was accidentally contaminated by it, he would get sick and covered with corpse spots at best, or die at worst. According to Zhou Qingyan's wishes, they turned into sticky swamps, sharp blades, and corrosive pus. However, even with their powerful lethality, they were as soft as harmless silk in Yu Jiao's palms, allowing her to pull them out and then throw them on the ground indifferently.
Zhou Qingyan blushed.
He liked the space when they were alone, where Jiaojiao's eyes could stay on him for a long time instead of being distracted by other things. It didn't matter what she did - as long as she looked at him.
As the black mist surrounding his chest was drawn away, Zhou Qingyan's sensitive nerves began to throb. He tried to mobilize his weak fingers to pinch it, but Yu Jiao snatched it away fiercely: "No, you have to throw them all away."
Zhou Qingyan's silence emboldened Yu Jiao. She was a typical "he is strong, she is weak; he is weak, she is strong" person. With the good wish of removing all the malice from Zhou Qingyan, she threw the black mist she had snatched from him far away. She was about to look for any more black mist she had missed, but the next moment—
Her eyes suddenly widened.
Zhou Qingyan turned his head away, pursing his lips in embarrassment. In the blink of an eye, he quickly adjusted his mood and let his naked body be exposed to Yu Jiao. He seemed unaccustomed to Yu Jiao's fixed gaze, and his voice sounded shy and nervous: "...The black energy is transformed from my power. If you take it away, I will naturally have no clothes to wear..."
The clothes and pants that he had been wearing were all wet and fell to the ground. They penetrated his transparent white body and were soaked in the black liquid that was sticky on the ground. They were gradually eroded until no trace was left.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yu Jiao hurriedly left, but Zhou Qingyan's hand firmly held her waist. It seemed that he didn't use any force, but he firmly fixed her so that she couldn't even move. She said angrily: "Zhou Qingyan, what do you want to do!"
Zhou Qingyan was silent.
Looks shy.
Yu Jiao had been with him for so many days, how could she not guess what was going on in his mind, especially since the current situation was so ambiguous. But the current situation was caused by her after all. She wanted to pretend to be very powerful and scold him for being full of nonsense, but when she thought about how she had been flattered by him before and even curled up her toes comfortably, she was afraid of cutting off her own retreat.
He just said angrily: "Have you forgotten what I just said? I will only consider your request if you behave well, otherwise, otherwise..."
After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out what bargaining chips she had that could threaten Zhou Qingyan. If she confronted Zhou Qingyan, she would only die, but she never felt suppressed in front of him. Except for being afraid of his state when he went crazy, she had the upper hand most of the time - although she didn't want to admit it, but facing Zhou Qingyan, Yu Jiao did trust him more than fear him at this moment.
She frowned in confusion.
Zhou Qingyan said weakly, "If I don't behave well, Jiaojiao will hit me and scold me. I will work like a slave for her, working hard without complaint. I will do whatever Jiaojiao wants and will never say a word against her."
Yu Jiao had heard him say this many times and used to think he was talking nonsense. But now, seeing him lying limply on the ground, with the sticky black mist curled up like his body, she actually believed that he was telling the truth.
"Let me go," Yu Jiao grabbed the hands that were restrained around her waist and easily pried them apart. Under Zhou Qingyan's gloomy gaze, she gathered the scattered black mist on the ground onto his chest and waist. "Why didn't you explain it to me earlier...would it be of any use if I gave it back to you now?"
Yu Jiao carefully pressed the black mist, trying to push it back into Zhou Qingyan's chest.
Zhou Qingyan lay on his back on the ground, blinking in disbelief. Seeing the hint of heartache and self-blame in Yu Jiao's eyes, he felt his heart start beating again in his chest. He said, "It's useful."
But after a while, Zhou Qingyan's body once again condensed into thick black mist, and his body, which was almost transparent, gradually turned back to its original paper-white color, becoming more solid and solid. As soon as he recovered a little strength, he couldn't wait to hug Yu Jiao, who was squatting beside him, in his arms.
Sniff her scent fiercely.
Keep your excitement hidden in your heart.
"Jiaojiao...Jiaojiao, I like you so much. I will behave well."
He sighed deeply.
At the same time, the eroded wall suddenly fell off.
The originally cozy house turned into a cave-like place.
