Chapter 278 Chapter 278 (Modified and added) I want to be your special...
night.
Because of the monsters causing trouble during this period, and because women and children disappeared at night, the entire imperial city became exceptionally quiet when it got dark.
In the dilapidated courtyard house, the wooden door lock that creaked in the wind has rusted inside the house.
Cui Jiao was dressed in red, and it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
He was looking at the cup in his hand with his brows lowered, emotionless.
Hehe——hehe——
The tassels on the red hairpin beside his ear swayed, and at this moment Cui Jiao smiled, a little ferociously.
That bastard, why don't you do this job yourself? !
Yan Ning hid under the bed, holding her breath and concentrating, trying to cover her breath completely.
It was easy for him to blend into the scene when he was standing there, but he was deliberately restraining himself at this moment. If Cui Jiao had not known that Yan Ning was here and had watched Yan Ning crawl in with his own eyes, he might have really thought that he was the only one here.
With this ability, he would be very powerful if he could carry out an assassination or something.
But this is a fool, a straight fool.
If they really want to use some treacherous means, they might shout out - I'm going to attack you!
hehe……
I was amused by my own imagination, but even more so, I was pissed off that I actually agreed to this thing with Yan Ning.
Cui Jiao just shrunk a little and put on a loose red dress. Yan Ning came with the aunt next door and applied some paint on his face. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether he was a handsome young man or a beautiful young lady.
The two of them came quietly without disturbing anyone else.
Now the aura of Yan Ning and Cui Jiao was even more restrained, but Yan Ning deliberately left the spiritual energy of the cultivator on Cui Jiao's clothes.
Now Cui Jiao only felt that his whole body was filled with the other person's aura.
Very annoying.
It was already midnight and there was no movement.
Cui Jiao pulled the corners of his lips, took off his coat, and lay on the bed with only a candle lit.
They were very close at this moment. Although Cui Jiao still couldn't sense Yan Ning's breath, his body was full of Yan Ning's scent, as if he had snuggled into Yan Ning's arms.
It's so weird.
This feeling is so weird!
Cui Jiao lay stiffly in Yan Ning's breath.
He felt an itch on the top of his head—
Yes, it seems like my ears are going to pop out.
The young demon king hasn't had his ears pop out for a long time.
After all, not being able to control emotions is something that happened in childhood, which is different from Cui Jiao now.
Completely different from the current Cui Jiao!!
Cui Jiao waited stiffly for a while.
I can't bear to see the other party coming.
There was not the slightest movement in the frown.
Cui Jiao narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but tap the bed board with his knuckles.
Is it reliable?
Are you not coming today?
If he doesn't come today, then think of other ways to deal with it. Don't keep catching him and pulling his strings.
After knocking several times without any response, Cui Jiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The next moment, he felt a strange fragrance coming over him.
When I opened my eyes again, everything around me seemed to have changed——
For just a moment, his thoughts were disturbed.
What was he doing just now?
Cui Jiao thought instinctively.
At this moment, he was in the main hall of the Demon King's Palace.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
The subordinates around him bowed respectfully, with fanatical eyes.
The content of the report is also very normal.
Cui Jiao didn't notice anything wrong for a moment.
But this group of people seemed to be watching his expression, and when they saw that he was about to lose his temper, they looked towards the back hall.
What's in the back hall?
Cui Jiao sneered and blocked their sight decisively.
After the group of guys were scolded so hard that they dared not raise their heads, Cui Jiao waved his hand and told them to go back and do what they were supposed to do, and not to keep staring at him.
Until he stood up and walked towards the back hall.
"Why are you back so late today?"
The clear voice was gentle and had a hint of smile.
"Are you scolding them again? They did those things for your own good."
It seemed like a thunderclap. Cui Jiao shuddered and looked at the man sitting at the table in the middle of the back hall.
The man was wearing a green bamboo Taoist robe, with delicate and obedient eyebrows and eyes, and was as gentle as a painting.
In front of him was an unfinished chess game, and next to it was an open chess book, emitting a faint scent of ink.
Yan Ning was looking at him with a smile, holding a warm black chess piece in her hand.
He stood up, strode to Cui Jiao, and reached out to help Cui Jiao straighten his clothes.
She smiled and waved at him.
"What? Are you stupid?"
As he said this, he leaned into Cui Jiao's arms.
Cui Jiao felt like his whole body was about to break apart.
What's going on?
What's going on?
He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet; they were so stiff.
He could only open his arms and let Yan Ning lean on him.
"You, you are——"
"how?"
Yan Ning raised her eyes.
"You don't even recognize your Taoist partner?"
A bolt from the blue.
Cui Jiao’s first reaction was that the thing in the sky didn’t kill him?
Then he lowered his eyes involuntarily and widened his red pupils.
The taste is right too.
At this moment, he looked as dazed as a silly little dog that suddenly had an owner.
Yes, the fox was stupid.
The fox was stunned as Yan Ning pulled his hand and asked him to sit over there.
Something's wrong——it doesn't seem like this——
It shouldn’t be like this—
Although he didn't reject it at all, and even felt it was very natural——
But something wasn't right.
The red fox noticed something was wrong at this moment.
At this moment, in the real world, Yan Ning held his breath and concentrated in order to restrain his breath, almost not breathing at all. He did not smell the strange fragrance, but he felt a little different.
The air around seemed a little turbid.
What is the situation now?
Yan Ning didn't know that Cui Jiao above had already been tricked.
Still watching every move outside through the small hole.
Until the thick branches swayed in.
Quickly rushed towards the bed.
Oh my god!
All this happened so suddenly that Yan Ning reacted naturally. He rushed out and smashed the vine, but it was just a feint. Another vine broke through the window silently and dragged the person on the bed away along with the quilt and mattress.
Yan Ning opened her eyes wide——
No, wait a minute—
What happened to that kid?
Why didn't that guy react at all?
"Cui Jiao!"
Yan Ning spoke subconsciously.
Choked by the strange fragrance, he instantly realized something and closed his mouth and nose again. The small brush instantly transformed into an ice-blue blade. The two words "Zhan Xian" emitted a cold glow under the moonlight.
The vines in front of him were instantly shattered.
Yan Ning broke the window and chased out.
The large clump of vines fell.
Only then did Yan Ning realize that this was no ordinary demon cultivator. This was some kind of horrible plant that had probably been possessed by the resentment of the people around it, and had finally started practicing evil ways.
The tall object that the old man saw was probably these vines condensed together.
These things are elusive, and their bodies are probably growing somewhere hidden. Their vines can attack from any direction underground, just like now—
The ground shook a few times, and the vines that Yan Ning had cut off fell down, and then the other vines burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
That strange fragrance is also a big problem!
Yan Ning cast a spell and quickly followed the aura left by Cui Jiao on his body, flying over the wall of the imperial city.
It was quiet all around, with only the slightest rustling sound.
At this moment, the speed of those vines was really too fast.
Cui Jiao was wrapped in bedding and controlled by the strange fragrance, and quickly came to a forest far away from the imperial city.
In the pitch-black cave, Cui Jiao was frowning.
A hoarse voice came - "Beautiful... Really beautiful... I want this face -"
Behind the voice was a woman who seemed to have grown out of a dead tree. She was crooked and there were many bone fragments at the roots.
Those were corpses that had been crushed by the vines.
It had already stared at Cui Jiao's face and reached out its hand.
It was at this time that Yan Ning arrived quickly.
Under the sword light, half of the mountain was cut off in an instant.
"Cui Jiao!"
Yan Ning held her breath and shouted.
Cui Jiao, who was still frowning, opened his eyes in an instant, but his red pupils were still dull. The next moment, he stretched out his hand and directly grasped a vine beside him.
A few snapping sounds——
As the vines broke, Cui Jiao's figure suddenly stretched out, and his androgynous appearance that was more immature just now could no longer be seen.
"No, that's not right—"
The monster exclaimed, as if it finally realized Cui Jiao's gender.
Moreover, it didn't know how Yan Ning tracked it here. It had eaten several cultivators before, and its cultivation level had greatly increased, which also gave it strong self-confidence. It always felt that it was very capable and that ordinary people could not do anything to it. So even if it sensed the aura of a cultivator on Cui Jiao, it only thought that it could handle it, and became even more rampant and wanton.
But if it took action at this moment, it was not only that it could not control Cui Jiao, but also Yan Ning who came to visit it.
But Cui Jiao had no emotion at the moment, and was still immersed in the future that the strange fragrance might bring him, which he was looking forward to so much.
The subconscious mind does not lie.
The reason why this strange fragrance always succeeds is that it can stimulate everything in other people's subconscious minds, making them think that everything has come true and they have no chance to resist until it succeeds.
But now——
Cui Jiao had already pulled at its vines, and even if he inhaled a lot of the strange fragrance, he would just crush it all to pieces in anger.
On the other side, the sword light had already been swung in front of him.
Brush it——
Its body was split open.
It cried out unwillingly.
Distracted and trying to escape.
but--
Yan Ning began to throw spells here frantically.
Ever since the last Nightmare Demon incident, Cheng Hanqiu discovered that these monsters would sometimes escape with half their bodies split apart, so he always taught Yan Ning a lesson.
"My daddy told me! Remember to finish off the enemy when you kill them!!"
And you have to use all your strength to finish off the enemy!!
About a quarter of an hour later.
Yan Ning looked at the flattened hillside and the monster that had been shattered beyond repair, and let out a long sigh.
It should be fine.
This is the lower reaches of the stream.
It’s not too far from the imperial city. A little further away is a village, and many human skeletons are buried under this tree.
There is also a stone-carved statue of a ferocious god on top of the skeleton - it seems to be an evil god being worshipped.
He had indeed heard about it. He heard it from his eldest senior brother. They had previously dealt with an evil creature born from evil thoughts.
In the beginning, someone carved the image of a "god" in order to cheat people and make money, trying to get those families who favored boys over girls to pay money. As long as they sacrificed the sister, their next child would definitely be a boy. At first, it was only spread in a small range, but later this person tasted the sweetness and took on almost everything, putting many things on the head of this so-called god, saying that this god could solve all the problems.
Hundreds of statues were enshrined, and many monsters and evil creatures were indeed formed. Especially when the souls of some people who died unjustly were encountered, when the mortal consciousness had not yet dissipated, these evil creatures were most likely to be nurtured.
And in the end, they will all suffer the consequences.
I guess this is one of them.
Yan Ning crushed the stone sculpture into powder, then turned to look at Cui Jiao who had been motionless over there.
"Are you okay?"
Yan Ning moved closer.
Only then did I realize that Cui Jiao looked in pain and was obviously still unable to come out.
His eyes were red, as if he had sensed his presence and had raised his hand to fight him.
"Cui Jiao!"
Yan Ning took a few steps back, rushed over from the other direction, and held Cui Jiao down. The bright and handsome young man was a little anxious at the moment.
He controlled Cui Jiao's hand and watched the demonic energy rising around Cui Jiao.
"Cui Jiao? Cui Jiao, wake up!"
Generally speaking, since one has already cultivated to Cui Jiao's level, this illusion should not affect Cui Jiao.
Even if they were affected at the beginning, they should have reacted quickly like they did just now. How come there has been no movement at all?
Originally, Yan Ning was still relieved about this matter.
At this moment, Yan Ning pressed his hand, suppressed his evil spirit, and raised her hand to pat his face.
The two rolled into a ball, struggling back and forth.
"Cui Jiao, wake up for me——"
Yan Ning is a protective bully. It has been many years since this guy became one of her family members.
At this moment, Yan Ning was really anxious and angry.
"Don't scare me! Cui Jiao! Cui Jiao! I will never say behind your back that your head is just for height again—"
Yan Ning gritted her teeth for the last time, lowered her head, and bumped her forehead with Cui Jiao's.
The spiritual consciousness instantly immersed itself in Cui Jiao's consciousness.
Yan Ning finally saw everything Cui Jiao saw.
There was a flame in his sea of consciousness.
Large patches of blood-red sparks were burning.
The original ruins of the palace can still be vaguely seen.
Cui Jiao just sat there with his head down, in the bloody flames.
“Cui Jiao——”
Because of the strange fragrance, Cui Jiao fell into the illusion in his sea of consciousness.
But no—
How could such an illusion trap Cui Jiao?
Until Yan Ning came to him.
Cui Jiao slowly raised his head.
Yan Ning finally saw clearly that there was another person lying there——
Lying down... him?
The Yan Ning in Cui Jiao's sea of consciousness was now lying on the side in tatters.
Listening carefully, one could hear Cui Jiao muttering something:
"It can't be him—Yan Ning wouldn't be like this. Yan Ning wouldn't have such artificial emotions. Yan Ning has always been—"
What has it always been like?
Clear-headed and sharp-tongued, gentle and cunning, every time he felt he could be of great help to Yan Ning, he would call her "Daddy" or "Big Brother"...
There's even that stupid dog, who Yan Ning mentioned a lot these days—
Cui Jiao couldn't figure it out.
He kept questioning himself.
This has reached the point where we need to question our conscience.
If this continues, I will become a demon in my heart.
Yan Ning didn't delay at all.
He jumped lightly and directly pushed Cui Jiao out of the flames in his sea of consciousness.
The two rolled twice.
Cui Jiao seemed to have a chance of life at this moment, because he personally eliminated the completely wrong Yan Ning, but he was unable to get away from what was happening in front of him and doubted his panic.
The two rolled a few times and then stopped.
Yan Ning slapped his face hard.
"Cui Jiao! This is an illusion, wake up! Don't make such a big scene, it makes me a little scared——"
Why are you so angry?
"Hurry up and wake up. Don't you dislike Xuetuan? It just so happens that my fellow apprentices are about to come out of retreat. When you wake up, we can take some rest and send Xuetuan back. Then we can go and train together, okay?"
Yan Ning felt the guy's hold on her getting tighter and tighter.
I also want to be a special person in his heart.
When Cui Jiao looked at Yan Ning, he finally understood what had been causing his long-standing anxiety.
It's not just about wanting to be a mortal enemy. A mortal enemy is just a special kind of existence.
He wanted something more special, something closer.
Can smell his scent.
Everything that could touch him.
There can be a legitimate reason for him to reject all the stupid dogs around him——
The illusion in the sea of consciousness is collapsing.
The two people's spiritual consciousness gradually turned into power again.
Yan Ning saw that there seemed to be red fox ears emerging from the other person's black hair.
"I don't want any other dogs. Foxes are also dogs—"
He lowered his voice.
It's not the tit-for-tat momentum from before.
He seemed very sad and irritated.
His face seemed to be slightly red.
Yan Ning blinked her big eyes and paused for a moment.
There seems to be a bit of anxiety around.
And the worst thing is that the fox looks really cute like this.
Yan Ning could never imagine that Cui Jiao could be like this.
He was still pressing on her, almost staring at her face, and wanted to touch her ears - but his hand stopped halfway and was caught by Cui Jiao and touched again.
The same feel as when I was a child——
Yan Ning had long been accustomed to Cui Jiao's aura and did not feel any repulsion at all.
At this moment, she was pressing on him, almost instinctively coaxing the little fox.
"Then we don't want any other dogs."
Yan Ning coaxed: "And the fox is not a dog, the fox is the little fox, can the little fox wake up now?"
"That……"
The two figures transformed into two rays of light in the sea of consciousness and entangled with each other.
Such power entanglement and intimacy are too much.
The tremor that came from the soul made both of them pause.
The next moment, the two returned to their respective positions.
Yan Ning opened his eyes wide, his forehead still resting against Cui Jiao's.
He only felt a burning sensation at the place where he and Cui Jiao touched, hot and scorching, with a hint of inexplicable shame and annoyance.
Yan Ning let go instantly.
Just now, just now——
What did their spiritual consciousness just do? !
"Our spiritual consciousness just now did—"
Yan Ning swallowed.
Cui Jiao seemed to get up calmly.
"Ah, done."
Yan Ning: ...It seems right, but there is really something wrong.
Cui Jiao appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he seemed shocked by what was happening.
After squatting there for a long time, his body shape had returned to normal, and his crimson clothes seemed a little cramped, making him look a little aggrieved and pitiful.
Yan Ning: ... "I'm responsible?"
Cui Jiao choked, looked up and glared at Yan Ning.
After a moment, he said awkwardly, his tone still seemed cold.
"I will arrange the covenant ceremony later. You can see what else needs to be prepared then."
oh.
Is that it?
Yan Ning moved her fingers, but finally couldn't hold back.
"Cui Jiao, your ears are popping out."
Cui Jiao reached out to press his head in horror. The two looked at each other again and both wanted to look away involuntarily.
I felt hot just looking at each other.
Yan Ning couldn't help but touched her cheek.
Cui Jiao's gaze shifted away for a moment, then returned.
He figured it out.
"never mind--"
He muttered in a low voice.
"We'll talk about many things later."
He moved slowly to Yan Ning's side.
He squatted down and looked at the dust on Yan Ning's body.
Just like a large canine, he squatted here and cast a spell on Yan Ning.
Everything seems to be the same as before.
But when they looked at each other, everything seemed different.
Yan Ning looked away and thought for a long time.
In the sky, Cheng Hanqiu, who was busy with work and had no time to see the cub, received a message from the cub.
When Cheng Hanqiu left, he left behind some power that could directly communicate with his soul, but it was very little, so Yan Ning rarely used it.
But now——
"Dad, I found that I seem to like Cui Jiao——"
"The kind of love I want to become a Taoist couple. His fox ears are so cute. I want to put garlands on his ears - it will definitely be even cuter. What do you think, Daddy?"
Cheng Hanqiu:......
Snap——
Under Tiandao's horrified gaze, the brush in Cheng Hanqiu's hand was crushed.
A moment later, he rushed to the water mirror.
Tian Dao: Wait a minute, don’t keep squeezing the Heavenly Punishment like that, I can’t handle it anymore if you keep doing that!!
"This little fox took advantage of me when I was away and stole my cabbage!!"
Tiandao: ...?
What's the meaning?
Wait until Tiandao reacts.
Tiandao: ...I'm going?
Cui Jiao dodged the first heavenly punishment that was about to strike him.
He jumped to Yan Ning's side, looked up at the sky, and finally reached out, put his arm around Yan Ning's shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.
In a moment, the strongest thunder punishment created by Cheng Hanqiu and Tiandao is about to arrive.
Yan Ning couldn't help herself and stretched out her hand to block him.
He quietly went to poke his father.
You can't kill the little fox, right?
Besides, he just ruined someone's innocence.
Cheng Hanqiu was extremely angry.
Who ruined whose innocence? !
How could this idiot boy help others count money even though he was being bitten?!
But in the end, Tianfa could only smash to the side in dissatisfaction.
Just wait and see, little fox cub, I’ll deal with you when you ascend.
And now——
Yan Ning was saying goodbye to Xiaoyang, who had achieved everything he wanted, when he felt someone hug him and he looked up.
Cui Jiao drooped his ears.
"We agreed to send the stupid dog back."
"How do you still remember this?"
“…Why don’t you remember?! This is no small matter!!”
The two noisy people chased each other out of here, one in front and one behind.
There is still a long time to go, and the experience has just begun.
[He once did not belong to me, but the future has you, and it is up to me——
Thank you for letting me like myself.
"Then Ningning, little lamb, it's time to go home too! Ningning, little lamb, see you next time!"
*
"He can no longer make any sound, so why should we keep him?"
"Have you forgotten? His tears are still very valuable."
"Then go ahead and cheat him. You pay for his treatment. I'm really annoyed just seeing him."
"Then why did you adopt him in the first place?"
"Before we adopted him, who could have imagined that we would have our own children in the future?"
"I've made enough money from him anyway. Otherwise, this would be a good opportunity for him to cry a little more while he's feeling down, and I could make a little more money. This is probably enough. I also think he's too weird. He's always making our baby sick."
There was a noise outside the door.
In a dark little utility room.
In a small children's swimming pool, a pink little mermaid was lying on the edge of the pool, covering her throat in pain, tears streaming down her face. The tears instantly turned into shiny and beautiful pearls. The little mermaid's whole body was burning hot, and even the water around her seemed to be evaporating.
He trembled slightly - his scarred little hand reached towards the door.
Anger, sadness, and pain were all concentrated in those blue eyes.
...So why?
Did he do something wrong?
Never mind...it doesn't matter...he was probably a mistake from birth...
If you didn't like him so much, why did you have to give birth to him and then abandon him? Wouldn't it be better to not have him be born in the first place?
“Ding ding ding ding ding—the cub’s weakening aura is detected!!!”
On the way back, the lamb was reading the little information it had finally obtained from the Plane Management Bureau's Cub Bureau.
The voice of the Lord God Mother was intermittent, and only the vague word "zizi" could be heard.
The lamb was trying hard to hear clearly, but its upgraded radar activated again.
The small ball of light fell in here from the side and rolled all the way to the little mermaid.
The lamb raised his eyes in confusion, and a tear rolled down, instantly turning into a round pearl. The lamb instantly read the message from the cub.
It flew up in frustration.
"Baby, hello Milo! This is the cub training system! Milo, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Of course, you don't need to speak. I have seen your body information. Multiple organ failure, high fever, baby, you must be feeling very uncomfortable, right? I will take you away from here-"
The long pink hair was scattered and the cub was almost out of breath.
Pearls scattered on the floor.
Milo raised his large, empty blue eyes.
It doesn't matter.
He thought.
This was the first time someone asked him this question, so for his sake, he spoke less.
Milo didn't quite understand what it meant to take him away, but it must have been difficult.
Milo looked at this strange little ball of light. He pushed the lamb with the pearl in his hand in the direction and half-closed his eyelids.
He may not live long, and his voice is no longer useful. Only this is valuable. These are for you. Take them and leave here - don't let those people outside find out.
The lamb was stunned for a moment. Looking at the pearls being pushed toward him, the little ball of light burst into tears. "Assholes!!! These bastards who abused their young deserve a horrible death!" The little ball of light frantically gathered the pearls into its own system space, immediately matching them to a suitable nearby plane, and departed with the little mermaid.
Looking at Milo's blank and unresponsive appearance, who was just crying instinctively, as if he was still alive just to 'produce' pearls, the lamb tried to comfort him.
"Milo cub, we are in the process of jumping and transferring. Don't worry, everything will be fine. The physical fitness scan is recovering - you can call me lamb."
