Chapter 196 Ferryman's Dungeon (19)
It turns out the melting wasn't an illusion.
With a loud "bang", the knife in its hand fell alone to the ground, and there was only a pool of blood left where the green-faced ghost was. The last thing that melted was its eyes. Perhaps the visual feeling of being submerged in blood caused it to have some misunderstandings, making it think that it had sunk into a sea of blood.
As for the spider monster next to it, which had just gone crazy because of the pain, it now became extremely quiet, and even its limbs did not tremble at all.
But the next second, the spider monster's body was like being thrown into a slicer, and in an instant it turned into countless thin slices and collapsed.
These two monsters, which could be considered small bosses in this copy, had their souls annihilated without any ability to resist. Even before their souls were destroyed, they didn't know what kind of opponent they had encountered.
Xia Yingnuan let out a breath. Her face was a little pale, but overall she looked energetic.
[You're being ridiculous! It's just a fever. Just give her some fever reducers.] The system wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from its forehead.
"Not only did it reduce her fever, but it also cured her other chronic ailments."
Is this the key?
The system sighed and said, "Okay, just pamper her."
It finally sees through this host!
The temperature on Ning Hanqi's forehead had subsided, but her nightmare continued, and she kept repeating Song Qinuan's name.
"What did I do to scare you like this?" Xia Yingnuan sighed, then sat down beside her bed, softly humming the only tune she knew.
In the warm and quiet night, only the gentle singing continues, dispelling all the blood and gloom in the dream and weaving a sweet dream again.
The hellish scene of gray sky, broken corpses and other things disappeared, replaced by the beach and the ocean. The waves brushed past the toes, the sun was dazzling and warm, and Song Qinuan, wearing a white dress, was holding Xia You's sister's hand and greeting her in front.
Song...Song Qinuan!
Ning Hanqi suddenly opened her eyes, and the figure suddenly disappeared. She stared at the ceiling in a daze, and it took her a long time to recover.
It turned out to be a dream. She wiped the corners of her eyes and they were wet.
Although it was a dream, it was extremely real, and it seemed that the man's body temperature was still lingering around her.
“Cough cough cough…”
Ning Hanqi sat up. She felt her throat was very dry and she seemed to have no strength in her body. She picked up her cell phone and took a look. It was already past 8 o'clock.
A lot of messages popped up, most of them were about work, but there was only one special one. Ning Hanqi looked at it silently for a moment and then opened the starting point.
"Boss Ning, you saved my entire family's lives. Xie Xia never had the chance to repay you. Just say the word. If you want to kill that beast surnamed Long, we brothers promise to handle it cleanly for you and will never implicate you."
There is no doubt that she wanted to kill Long Chendong.
If she had not fallen due to dizziness when she stood up and had not been rushed to the hospital because her hands were full of glass fragments, perhaps Long Chendong would not have seen the sun rising today.
Now that she has calmed down, she still has her sick sister and Xia You's niece to take care of. She can't do anything rash no matter what.
So she sent a message back, asking the other party to wait a little longer.
She would not let Long Chendong live easily, nor would she let him die easily. She would make his life worse than death.
The left hand wrapped in gauze felt a slight tingling sensation, as if the wound had been accidentally broken just now, and a little blood seeped out of the gauze.
If I walk out like this... that nagging and naughty little girl will probably get angry, so I'd better change.
Ning Hanqi opened the curtains, and bright sunlight shone in, dispelling the darkness in the room. She moved out the medicine box in the room. It was a little inconvenient to apply medicine and change gauze with one hand, and the knot she tied at the end was ugly, but it didn't matter, as long as it was practical.
After applying the medicine, she changed her clothes and washed up. As soon as she walked out of the room, she smelled the fragrance of food.
Xia Yingnuan took out the freshly heated porridge from the microwave and invited Ning Hanqi to drink it.
"She's really like a virtuous young wife." Ning Hanqi smiled faintly as the porridge and side dishes were neatly placed in front of her.
"Ding ding, bang, bang, splash..." There was an extremely exaggerated noise coming from the kitchen. Ning Hanqi immediately put down the spoon and rushed over, and found that Xia Yingnuan accidentally knocked over a stainless steel basin filled with water, splashing water all over her.
Xia Yingnuan stood there with a flushed face. "..." Ning Hanqi was silent for a moment, and then her soft voice seemed to tremble slightly, "If possible, I really don't want you to recall anything about this dungeon."
Just recalling the moment of looking into the eyes of the Sea God, Nuannuan was so greatly affected. It is conceivable how painful that memory was.
"Actually, I can't remember clearly. It's all in the past and doesn't affect me anymore." In order to reassure Ning Hanqi, Xia Yingnuan lied, "Don't worry."
Ning Hanqi is not a fool, how could he not know Xia Yingnuan's kindness?
"It would be great if you only remembered me..." Ning Hanqi sighed. She hoped that Xia Yingnuan could recall her past memories and just remember herself. However, the situation now was just the opposite. Nuannuan did not remember herself, but instead remembered those terrible memories.
"Nuannuan, you felt it just now. Your memory of this copy is dangerous, so you are not allowed to secretly go to the bar to drink that drink!" Ning Hanqi's tone was not harsh, but Xia Yingnuan stiffened slightly after her little thoughts were exposed.
"How, how could I possibly drink it secretly? This dungeon is so dangerous, I dare not lose consciousness for a long time." It would be troublesome if other ghosts took advantage of the opportunity. However, Xia Yingnuan thought about whether she should find a way to secretly take this thing out.
"You are not allowed to take it out to drink."
Does Ning Hanqi have the ability to read minds?! Xia Yingnuan took great effort to control the expression on her face.
"Ahem...I know."
"Do you really know?" Ning Hanqi's tone clearly showed some disbelief.
"Really!" Xia Yingnuan always felt that Ning Hanqi was coaxing a child.
"Be good~" Ning Hanqi touched her head.
He really treated her like a child!
Xia Yingnuan reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Ning Hanqi's waist. Ning Hanqi was ticklish and quickly dodged backwards. Xia Yingnuan had finally found Ning Hanqi's weakness and was unwilling to let her go easily.
After all this commotion, Ning Hanqi fell limply on the bed with a smile on her face. Xia Yingnuan was pressing on top of her in a very suggestive position. The two of them were very close to each other, and the cold and warm breath blended together.
Looking at Ning Hanqi's soft lips, a strange thought inexplicably flashed through Xia Yingnuan's mind, soft and wanting to kiss.
Xia Yingnuan has always had the desire but not the courage to do anything. Her shyness immediately overwhelmed her thoughts. She was about to sit up straight as if nothing had happened, but who would have thought that Ning Hanqi suddenly put his arms around her neck and kissed her.
Did Xia Yingnuan have the ability to resist? No, she didn't. In fact, because of her awkwardness and shyness, and because she was distracted by the sweet and soft breath, she almost subconsciously followed Ning Hanqi's pace.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Ning Hanqi had said to her in the past, that she had been quite... extravagant? She really couldn't imagine what she was like in the past.
Xia Yingnuan's lips were bitten lightly as a punishment for her distraction.
"What are you thinking about?" Ning Hanqi stroked her face gently.
"Nothing." You absolutely cannot say that. It would be too embarrassing to say it!
Xia Yingnuan had not forgotten what kind of personality she had created for herself in the beginning. If this woman knew that she had such a shy reaction because of what she said back then, wouldn't she be able to manipulate her in the future?
"Really? Let me guess..." Ning Hanqi pretended to think.
"...Actually, there's something I'm quite curious about!" Before, Ning Hanqi's guess at her thoughts was as good as reading her mind, but Xia Yingnuan didn't dare let her guess any further.
"What's up?"
"It's just..." After all, it was just a temporary excuse. Before she could perfect it, Xia Yingnuan's mind raced, and she blurted out, "How did I fall in love with you before?"
...What am I talking about? Xia Yingnuan felt a little suffocated after she finished speaking.
As expected, Ning Hanqi burst out laughing. Xia Yingnuan felt her frail body in her arms and trembled with laughter.
"Ahem, actually what I mean is, if your previous identity was really..."
"I understand." Ning Hanqi wiped the tears from her eyes. "You want to ask why you fell in love with a scary ghost?"
"No!" Xia Yingnuan immediately explained: "I didn't mean that, actually..."
"Actually, I'm curious too." Ning Hanqi smiled and shook his head. "I can't answer you about this. At that time... I didn't think our relationship could last long, so I didn't ask."
What little wife?! Was I too nice to her?! Does she look like a little wife?!
Even eating can’t stop her from talking!
"Your clothes are all wet. Go change quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold." Ning Hanqi was about to pull her out, but someone thought that the other party reacted faster than him and jumped out like a rabbit.
"Your hands are injured! Don't touch me! I'm all wet!" Xia Yingnuan raised her hands to prevent her from touching me.
"Okay, I won't touch you, come out quickly." Ning Hanqi took a step back.
Xia Yingnuan then came out of the kitchen. When she was urged to change her clothes, she did not forget to turn around and forbid Ning Hanqi from entering the kitchen to clean up. Her physical fitness was not like hers, and it would be troublesome if the wound got infected!
After receiving repeated assurances, Xia Yingnuan slipped back to the guest room to change clothes.
She...
Ning Hanqi looked at Xia Yingnuan's back with a slightly deep expression.
No matter how much a person's character changes, it is impossible to lose his or her original nature in a short period of time. She actually said such sarcastic words when she saw herself for the first time after the car accident. In the past, she would not be able to say a word even if a knife was put on Guo Yuzhen's neck. If she said it, she would probably cry with every word. This is Guo Yuzhen, and now she... is like a new person, carrying a lot of secrets.
So who are you?
Ning Hanqi had an absurd idea in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask or say it, for fear that if she pointed out everything, her dream would be shattered.
Xia Yingnuan changed into a set of somewhat thick clothes. There was no other way. The original owner was frugal and had very few clothes. She was too lazy to go out and had not bought new clothes yet. It had rained a few days ago and the washed clothes were not dry yet.
Maybe she could find time to buy a few pieces online? Perhaps because she'd been on the go for most of her life, Xia Yingnuan now preferred staying home. There was no need to travel far, and it would be best if the clothes she bought could be delivered to her door.
"I'm taking a day off today, so I'll take you to buy some clothes." Ning Hanqi pulled her with her right hand, which was not seriously injured, but there were inevitably a few cuts on her hand. Xia Yingnuan didn't dare to struggle at all, and could only stare at her dryly with her eyes. After a hard pull, she still lost.
The shopping mall that Ning Hanqi took her to was the newly opened one by the Liu family. The shopping guide knew the distinguished guest that the young lady had brought before, and hurried over to ask if anything was needed.
Ning Hanqi pushed Xia Yingnuan forward and said, "We need clothes that suit her, all year round."
"That's too much! There's no need to spend so much!" Most importantly, she didn't want to become a dress-up doll! Xia Yingnuan desperately refused.
Unfortunately, if she had managed to struggle successfully, she wouldn't be in this mall now.
Ten minutes later, the sales assistant, who was overjoyed, hung a whole row of clothes in front of the fitting room for Xia Yingnuan to choose from. Xia Yingnuan was forced to become a doll in Ning Hanqi's hands, changing one piece of clothing after another, and the light in her eyes gradually lost its luster.
The shopping guide had a good eye and every piece was suitable for Xia Yingnuan. Every time she tried on a piece, Ning Hanqi nodded, and the shopping guide understood and packed it up.
[Host, the hero and the villain have run into each other.] In the locker room, the system suddenly sounded an alarm.
"Tsk..." Xia Yingnuan showed an impatient look on her face.
unlucky.
"Ning Hanqi doesn't even need to look at me before she kills him."
[But, but the hero looks like he's about to attack the villain...]
"Rely on that good-for-nothing?" Xia Yingnuan smiled disdainfully.
Three seconds later.
"Damn! You forgot that Ning Hanqi is a patient now!" Xia Yingnuan rushed out immediately.
really.
[Sigh...] The system sighed in a mature manner. It finally figured out how to communicate with the host.
As luck would have it, after Long Chendong came out of prison, he made some money from his first business and then brought his girlfriend to buy clothes, and happened to see Ning Hanqi at this time.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. It was Song Qinuan and Ning Hanqi who destroyed him. He has killed Song Qinuan, and now only Ning Hanqi is left.
"Chen Dong... let's go to another store?" The heroine has been particularly afraid of Ning Hanqi for a long time. She also realized that this woman is the biggest obstacle to her boyfriend's comeback. As the saying goes, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. There is really no need to confront her head-on.
Long Chendong hugged his girlfriend and refused to retreat. After all, he valued his face more than his life.
Ning Hanqi moved his eyes away from the magazine and stared at Long Chendong coldly.
When Ning Hanqi really saw the murderer again, he realized that his rationality and patience were not as good as he had imagined.
She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and said a string of numbers.
That was the prison number that Long Chendong received during his sentence. As soon as Ning Hanqi opened his mouth, he instantly felt like he was back in prison.
Deliberately mentioning the number instead of the name, this woman's intentions were clear, and it was a great insult to him! The veins on Long Chendong's head immediately bulged, and he looked like a mad dog, full of aggression.
The heroine still had some sense and tried her best to pull him, but someone was faster.
A girl in pink stood in front of Long Chendong. The cute girl didn't look threatening at all, but she made the man, who had just been like a mad dog, stiffen all over. The girl screamed and hid behind her boyfriend, pointing at the girl with a trembling finger and said, "Ms. Song, Miss Song?"
She wanted to gain a sense of warmth and security from her boyfriend, but she didn't realize that her boyfriend was more afraid than herself. After all, Song Qinuan was the only person he had killed with his own hands. Before she died, the woman gave him a strange smile, which was so terrifying that he always suspected that the woman would come back to find him when he woke up in the middle of the night!
"As long as it doesn't dare to completely split itself, I can hold it back." Xia Yingnuan felt Ning Hanqi's heartbeat and body temperature, and her heart gradually calmed down. "Let's find that thing quickly, and then we don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Yeah." Ning Hanqi nodded in Xia Yingnuan's arms, but she knew... her trip was destined not to be smooth.
“Boom!”
A muffled sound came from above the underground palace, and Xia Yingnuan's face changed slightly.
The dungeon boss is chasing us!
