You're such a rude person.
The last piece of goose yellow clothing stained with blood sank into the darkness deep in the cave. Jiang Jingyuan closed his eyes, and the faint light from the outside world was instantly extinguished in the loud bang. The cave behind him completely collapsed into ruins, blocking his retreat.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't even pause as she continued to walk forward, but suddenly she saw a white hand reaching out from the side and casually holding her in front.
Jiang Jingyuan stopped and before she turned around, she saw the hand that was blocking her waist turn, and a golden thread appeared out of thin air in that hand, and in the blink of an eye it flew into the copper bell hanging on the longevity lock hanging around her neck.
Jiang Jingyuan understood and turned her head.
Qin Jiuyan curled her lips at her and asked with a smile, "Do you regret it?"
Jiang Jingyuan shook his head calmly without any hesitation.
There were things she didn't do, and some people forced her to do them - she had anticipated this when she saw the statue-like figure in the cave.
So when she saw that there was no way to retreat and the future was full of unknowns, she would not blame Qin Jiuyan for not being able to protect her all the time, but would be grateful to Qin Jiuyan for leaving her a backup plan.
"Then let's keep going." Qin Jiuyan narrowed her gilded eyes, withdrew her hand, and said with a smile.
The two continued walking forward side by side.
Jiang Jingyuan did not light the lamp, and the white veil covering her eyes had not been removed yet, so it was not difficult for her to see the dim scenery in front of her.
The dim stone road was shaking wildly, with gravel rolling down, but it never collapsed.
Large clouds of grayish-white dust blew in her face. Jiang Jingyuan held her breath and took a small breath at the right moment, but she still inhaled a lot of dust unexpectedly. Suddenly, the calmness on her face showed a crack, and gradually, her face became ugly.
Holding her breath, the girl quickened her pace in the dim stone path and plunged headfirst into the depths of the stone path ahead.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, she raised her head and looked around. She tentatively called out in a low voice, "Qin Jiuyan?"
Qin Jiuyan is not here.
Jiang Jingyuan turned around and saw an empty, dark stone path behind her. Only gravel rolled and jumped on the simply excavated stone path... For a moment, she was the only one in this narrow stone path, swaying with the trembling of the earth and sky.
Jiang Jingyuan had already expected this. When Qin Jiuyan stopped her just now, he had thought of this possible emergency, so he left her a golden thread.
Thinking about it, Jiang Jingyuan turned around and wanted to go forward to find out what was going on.
However, when she turned around and looked forward, she was stunned. A gray snowy scene suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was a winter forest, its branches and leaves withered, leaving only bare black trunks standing tall amidst the endless expanse of thick white snow. The trees were not densely distributed, dotted with low bushes...
The girl stood on the downhill road, half of her body was goose yellow and the other half was blood-red, as if she was the only cold plum blossom in the winter snow, gently swaying in the wind.
Jiang Jingyuan looked back. Behind her was a snowy scene stretching into the distance, and the caves and stone paths she had walked through seemed to have never existed.
After calming herself down, she walked slowly down the hillside, stepping on the thick snow and stones half-buried in the snow.
Stepping into the ice and snow, Jiang Jingyuan seemed to feel that the temperature around him dropped sharply again, and the cold air formed a faint mist lingering in front of his eyes.
Under the gray and gloomy sky, the vast snow scene is not dazzling, but a soft light gray-blue, quiet and peaceful.
Jiang Jingyuan's ten fingers suddenly felt cold. She walked slowly, using her spiritual sense to probe into the storage space and took out a plush cloak to put on. She also took out a bottle of pills and swallowed them. Only then did her hands and feet warm up slightly.
"Is this also part of the ruins?" Jiang Jingyuan thought to himself, looking up at the scenery in the distance.
The cold mist fell and swayed like layers of gauze. Not far away, a fiery red figure was walking quietly in the snow.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart suddenly beat violently, and her breathing unconsciously became lighter. She looked carefully at the fiery red figure that was out of tune with the white snow scene.
"Is it... Qin Jiuyan?"
She was wearing layers of exquisite red clothes that dragged on the ground, meandering forward in the white snow. Her black hair, like a waterfall, fell from the red umbrella she was holding, and the ends of her hair swayed gently back and forth between the red clothes and the snowy scene, as if some animal was lazily swinging its big furry tail.
She held a red umbrella, casually draped over her shoulders. Jiang Jingyuan, standing behind her, looked over and saw the elegant and graceful depiction of winter plum blossoms on the red umbrella...
Jiang Jingyuan's pace became slower and slower. Gradually, she stopped and stood motionless on the hillside, with only her eyes fixed on the graceful figure in red not far away.
The figure in red beside the road walked slowly forward, holding a red umbrella. The snow outlined her figure, and the cold mist added a hazy and mysterious feeling to her...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Jingyuan's dark pupils suddenly trembled and his breathing suddenly stopped for a moment.
"she……"
Jiang Jingyuan looked at the figure in red not far away.
"Is she..."
"Closer to me?"
As soon as this thought emerged in his mind, Jiang Jingyuan felt a chill all over his body, and he suddenly focused his attention to estimate the distance between himself and the figure.
In the white snow, the rosy figure walked forward step by step, but in reality, Jiang Jingyuan could gradually see the strands of hair hanging down behind her.
"It seems to be getting closer..." Jiang Jingyuan's heart trembled violently and he murmured in his heart.
"She's coming closer!!!"
Realizing this, Jiang Jingyuan made a quick decision and wanted to turn around and run up the hill. However, when she looked up, the fiery figure had already appeared ten feet in front of her!
Jiang Jingyuan understood almost the moment she saw this scene, and the figure also noticed that she had noticed something!
Jiang Jingyuan didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. She turned around and ran up the hill on the thick snow. As she ran, she looked back from time to time at the strange figure in red behind her.
The figure in red always had his back to her, and seemed to be walking away from her step by step, but in fact he was approaching her quickly and silently!
Seeing that the figure in red was always following her at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, Jiang Jingyuan knew that it was impossible to get rid of that strange figure.
Thinking of this, she quickly turned her feet, and suddenly went around, pouncing on the red-clothed figure from the side like a tiger or leopard pouncing on its prey!
Brush——
Icy arrows like those made of ice flew out from the girl's raised sleeves one after another, hidden in the ice and snow. Only when they approached the fiery red figure did they reveal their overwhelming murderous aura, and in an instant, they "snapped" and cut through her long black hair -
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose from the black branches and white snow.
Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and in an instant she felt a strong sense of alertness and panic in her heart. She didn't even bother to finish off the enemy and quickly retreated.
“Pah…”
"Pah-pah-pah-pah-pah!"
Jiang Jingyuan stepped on the black branches and broke them one by one. She hurriedly steadied herself. Seeing the white smoke in front of her gradually spreading and approaching her, Jiang Jingyuan staggered backward hurriedly, dodging, not daring to be contaminated by a trace of the white smoke.
She kept backing away, but not too fast or too far. She always kept a distance from the white smoke, but still able to dodge it in time. She stared at the strange white smoke in front of her and thought to herself, "What is this thing?! Is it alive? Where did the person in red go just now? Did the plum blossom sleeve arrow hurt her?!"
"Bang..." Jiang Jingyuan's back slammed into the black tree trunk.
The thick white smoke in front of her was getting closer and closer to her nose.
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly ducked down, quickly bypassed the black tree trunk, and continued to retreat, while her pair of dark eyes were still staring at the thick white smoke in front of her without blinking.
"Puff..."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly heard a playful laugh.
She paused for a moment, then quickly retreated a long distance cautiously, looking up at the white smoke in front of her inquiringly, trying to see what was in it.
——That laughter came from the depths of the white smoke!
"Is there someone in the white smoke? Is it the man in red from earlier?" Jiang Jingyuan's face was as cold as ice, but his mind was racing with thoughts, "Is that a person? Someone who could appear here and act so strangely just now, could that be a person?"
"If it's not a human... then what is it?"
"A ghost?"
Jiang Jingyuan thought about this and simply asked, "Who are you?"
"thing?"
A large cloud of thick white smoke ahead exploded with a bang. As the smoke dissipated, a sweet voice rang out from the gradually thinning white smoke: "What an offensive name, you rude person!"
"You hide your head and show your tail, who would know whether you are a human or a ghost." Jiang Jingyuan was on guard, but his face was cold and he did not back down at all.
She didn't know what the other party was or how dangerous it was, but she felt that instead of making a fuss and exposing her true identity, it would be better to use a warning to cover herself up and confuse the other party.
She couldn't retreat, especially at a time like this. If she didn't retreat, the other party might be unsure of her strength and hesitate.
Even flattery with flowery words is better than retreating directly.
Jiang Jingyuan stared at the depths of the white smoke with his dark eyes, not daring to turn away.
In the light gray-blue snow scene, the large fog in front dissipated, revealing a short, fiery red figure.
Jiang Jingyuan clenched his fists under his sleeves, watching and waiting vigilantly.
The white mist completely dissipated and melted into the surrounding snow scene. A fox figure with a fiery red body and two white stripes under its two round black eyes appeared in front of Jiang Jingyuan.
The fox sat upright, half the height of Jiang Jingyuan.
Its two big furry ears were trembling. At this moment, it was tilting its head and glancing at Jiang Jingyuan in front of it with squinted eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan stared at this scene in shock for a long while before an idea emerged in his mind:
"Grandma, there really is a red fox in the forest..."
In the snow, the red fox's big fluffy tail swayed behind it. It never looked at Jiang Jingyuan directly, but still tilted its head, squinting its two black eyes, with a look of disgust that said "Are you stupid?" but also a bit of pride.
It opened its mouth, sneered, and said in a sweet voice, "You are rude and worldly-wise."
It can actually speak human language, it really is a spirit beast... Jiang Jingyuan opened his mouth in shock.
"Stop." The red fox glanced at her and raised his head proudly. "I know what you want to say, but I'm not such a casual fox! Not to mention that you're an impolite person!"
Jiang Jingyuan: "???"
