Chapter 117 She hugged him, hugged him, hugged him, hugged him!!!
Xue Chen leaned on the armrest of the dragon throne with one hand and leaned over to look at the vicious trash in the dragon throne.
Gui Ming's eyes rolled and he slowly raised his head, revealing his entire face under the black hood.
Ning Shengsheng took a breath in surprise.
The upper half of the man's face revealed white bones, his eyeballs hung in the empty eye sockets, a few strands of flesh and blood with skin stuck to his forehead and nose, and his teeth were chattering.
"So, it's you, ah."
Gui Ming didn't know Xue Chen's method. There was no reason to spit out the bones that had already been eaten.
"You will be the guardian of the Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Phoenix will return to its original form."
"Oh, what a big tone."
At the moment when the cold light flashed, a short knife appeared out of nowhere and was placed against Gui Ming's eyeball.
As long as the boy opposite moves slightly.
His eyeballs popped out.
"You, you are launching a sneak attack!" Gui Ming's expression froze in shock, and it took him a long time to utter these words.
Ning Shengsheng folded her arms and watched the show.
She complained in her heart, how could Liu Yuehen write novels? The villains in the books were stupider than each other.
Xue Chen didn't want to waste any more time talking.
He wanted to take Tianfeng back and use it to marry Ning Shengsheng.
"idiot."
Pushing forward, the tip of the knife pierced through without any defense.
Gui Ming cried out in pain, "Ahhhhhh, how can you be like this? Why would you kill me without any negotiation?"
"Negotiation of terms?"
Xue Chen grabbed the man by the collar and threw him out.
"The entire imperial city belongs to me. Why should I negotiate with you? Are you worthy?"
He glanced with disdain at the dragon throne where Gui Ming had sat.
Once things are settled, all the furnishings in the hall need to be replaced from top to bottom; they are so dirty.
“You, you, you…”
Holding his pierced eyeball, Gui Ming asked in despair, "Is death the only way out for me today?"
Ning Shengsheng's mouth twitched. It was clearly a bloody scene, but she felt a little pitiful.
Xue Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his expression was "What else?"
“I don’t want to die!”
Gui Ming huddled up in a ball, hugging his knees. "Protector Xue, I was really wrong. I'll do anything as long as I don't die."
Do everything?
Xue Chen smiled slightly and walked slowly towards Gui Ming, with a better idea in his mind.
"Everything?"
"Yes, yes!" Gui Ming rolled over and said excitedly, "I'd be willing to serve you like a slave."
"It's too cheap for you to work like a slave for me."
He raised the corners of his lips, smiling maliciously, "Since you want to live so badly, then you can be a slave to all the monsters in the city."
Gui Ming:???
Is it too late for him to commit suicide now?
"It's too late."
Xue Chen seemed to see through what he was thinking, and a trace of evil spirit penetrated into Gui Ming's eyebrows.
"You can't die now, so get out of here."
"Take your men and release all the monsters in the city and heal their wounds."
"otherwise……"
He recited the formula silently.
Gui Ming was in excruciating pain, and he knelt down with difficulty and swore, "Lord, rest assured, your subordinate..."
"Make sure the mission is completed."
After Gui Ming left, Ning Shengsheng clapped jokingly, "Your Excellency, you have great means!"
"Your Highness, please stop making trouble..."
He grabbed her disruptive hand and looked into her eyes thoughtfully, thinking of the 70% favorability.
A plan flashed through my mind.
Ning Shengsheng withdrew her hand and was about to visit the Tianfeng Palace when she heard the sound of the system going online.
Forced to work, the system issues tasks.
[Host, please understand the villain's childhood. 】
The villain's childhood?
Xue Chen leaned against the side of the hall, his eyes half closed, pretending that he was thinking of nothing.
Ning Shengsheng turned around shortly and asked calmly, "Xue Wuyin, where did you live when you were a child?"
"Why do you ask this, Princess?"
He lowered his eyes and looked away, his slightly furrowed brows making others look sad.
She knew that Xue Chen had an unhappy childhood.
I don't want to open the other person's wounds, but I have to do the system's task.
I felt guilty towards Xue Chen.
"It's inconvenient, forget it. I'm just asking casually."
The young man let out a wry smile. "It's nothing inconvenient. It's just some past events that I don't want to talk about with outsiders. Her Highness the Princess is one of us, so it's okay."
"Come with me."
He took Ning Shengsheng's hand and walked towards the cold palace.
Ning Shengsheng followed behind and felt more and more guilty the more she thought about it, and she kept trying to comfort him.
Xue Chen in front asked how much the system's favorability had increased.
The system silently sighed that the S-level mission target was very scheming and replied: [Almost 75%].
OK.
His Highness really treated him differently.
Xue Chen thought that he could win Ning Shengsheng's favor by playing the victim later, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
The other side.
Gui Ming left the palace and skillfully stuffed his eyeball back in. The broken eyeball was barely usable!
"Hey, how much benefit did Lord Gui Ming get?"
The two ghost cultivators who were leading Xue Chenning and Shengsheng came over and asked shamelessly: "Give some to our subordinates!"
"We brought those two golden nuggets back with us."
Gui Ming slowly rolled his eyes and glared at the two idiots, "So it's you two idiots!"
"roll!"
"Don't let me see you again, or I'll grind you to dust and turn you into wandering ghosts."
The ghost cultivator, who was obviously the least intelligent, muttered quietly, "Aren't we just wandering ghosts now?"
Gui Ming: "..."
On the verge of going crazy, he took a few deep breaths and said in a gentle voice, "Release all the monsters in the city immediately and ask the doctors to treat them. The Tianfeng Kingdom has changed its owner."
"Change of owner? To whom?" the ghost cultivator asked with a blink.
"..." Gui Ming was about to vomit, "You two get out of here right now, and get some smart people here."
"Oh, I'll take my leave."
The two ghost cultivators pushed and shoved each other as they left, holding the skull banners.
He was mumbling a bunch of nonsense.
Gui Ming finally understood why the tasks he had assigned to him before were so difficult to complete.
It seems that he is lucky to have managed to keep his life.
All the monsters in the city were released and placed in the manor to await treatment.
Inside the imperial city.
Xue Chen stood in front of the dilapidated cold palace.
"Your Highness, this is where I lived when I was young."
The ground is overgrown with weeds.
Ning Shengsheng lifted her skirt and just as she stepped forward with her left foot, a mouse squeaked and ran over.
She looked at the broken windows, the faded wooden door, and the damaged courtyard wall.
"How long have you lived here?"
"For many years." Xue Chen looked at the place he once thought he could never leave, "Until I went to Daning to be a proton."
"They then released me and assigned me a palace."
That palace is not much better than the cold palace.
Seventeen years?!
Xue Chen actually lived in such a place for seventeen years. Ning Shengsheng asked distressedly: "You..."
"How do you live?"
Everyone in the Daning Palace bullied him like that, not to mention that the King of Tianfeng hated him so much.
"When I was very young, I would sneak into the kitchen to eat some cakes to fill my stomach. When I grew up, I cooked for myself."
"Won't you be discovered?"
"Of course I will be discovered." Scenes of being bullied flashed through Xue Chen's mind.
"Then..." Ning Shengsheng asked, "Will they punish you?"
"Of course, a beating is inevitable. Actually, it's also good. Others need to cultivate their bodies first..."
"I don't need it, because I've been able to resist being beaten since I was a child."
He smiled and shrugged, finishing in a teasing tone.
He lowered his head and met the girl's distressed eyes.
Xue Chen was stunned. He was the chess player, so how could he be the first to be touched by the opponent?
"Xue Wuyin, you must be in pain." Ning Shengsheng pursed her lips and opened her arms to hug him.
The boy's body was stiff, and he looked at the person in his arms helplessly.
The cold wind blew through the deserted and empty yard, blowing up the dead leaves and dust on the ground.
His and her skirts met.
The ink-black tassel on her right ear was blown up by the wind and entangled with the hairpins in her hair.
This picture remained still in his eyes.
What I once thought was the darkest place in my life has become brighter because of her existence.
And now Xue Chen's mind is full of——
Did she hug him?
She actually hugged him!
Hug him, hug him, hug him, hug him, hug him, hug him!!
Shengsheng [took the initiative] to hug him!!!
