Chapter 421 Picking up a young immortal as a fiancé (17)
According to the mayor, the strange things in the city started half a month ago. Half a month ago, it was also the time when the spiritual power began to flourish. Almost every night, people would die in the city. These people died miserably, which made people feel terrified.
You Bing certainly sent people to ambush at night, and indeed found clues. Some people also said that they saw the murderer, but those people were either dead or crazy.
You Bing said: "Those who survived have also changed greatly. People with gentle temperaments on weekdays have become manic and bloodthirsty, killing anyone they see. It's like they have become a different person."
When You Bing said this, Bai Yao clearly felt that Wen Xing was holding her hand tightly.
You Bing's expression became much more serious. "So I'm worried. Is the Heart Devourer Demon showing up again?"
Ming Nuannuan was puzzled. "What is a Heart Devourer Demon? How come I've never heard of it?"
You Bing explained. "The Heart Devourer Demon can devour a person's sanity. After it replaces the host's mind, it can control the host's body, making it difficult to guard against. You are still young, so you may not have heard that eighteen years ago, there was a genius in the fairyland, the nameless sword fairy. He used his body as bait and killed all the Heart Devourers in one night. But unfortunately, he also lost his soul and became a walking corpse who only knew how to kill. , it is said that he has been imprisoned in the secret realm of the fairyland and has never seen the light of day. "
Bao Longtao said: "I have heard of the nameless sword fairy. If it weren't for this incident, he should be the person who is most likely to ascend to heaven in the past few hundred years."
Jia Yi also said: "He killed all the heart-eating demons by himself, which is really admirable."
Lu Cha sighed with regret, "It's a pity, that sword fairy must be a rare good man in thousands of years. If this accident hadn't happened, I really wanted to meet him."
Everyone looked at Lu Cha, knowing that the "meeting" she said was naturally not as simple as a meeting.
You Bing explained the situation and asked the guests to go to the guest room to rest first and take action at night.
Wen Xing and Bai Yao's guest room was next door. He entered Bai Yao's room first and made the bed for her. The brocade quilt and pillow were brought by Bai Yao herself, and the bedding was familiar to her, so she slept well.
Bai Yao stood aside and watched the young man in front of her bend over and smooth out every corner of the quilt on the bed. She couldn't help but move forward a few steps, hugged him from behind, and put her face on his back.
Wen Xing held her hand that was around his lower abdomen and smiled softly: "Yaoyao."
Bai Yao rubbed his back, "Wen Xing, you still have me."
"Yeah, I know." He turned around and held her in his arms, gently stroking the long hair behind her head with his big hands, and laughed softly.
Wen Xing did not hide his family affairs from Bai Yao. When he was young, he was indeed afraid that telling Bai Yao about his father's situation would make him mind, but when he was fifteen years old, he mustered up the courage to tell Bai Yao about his father's situation.
The elders deliberately stopped mentioning the name of the Nameless Sword Immortal because of how much glory he had received in the past, and how shocked everyone was when they found out that he had killed so many people.
At that time, several sects went to the Fairyland together and asked the Fairyland to hand over the Nameless Sword Immortal. They wanted to enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Even the Fairyland could not save the Nameless Sword Immortal who committed murder. It was at that time that people discovered the existence of the Heart Devouring Demon in the world, and they also knew that the Nameless Sword Immortal would commit crimes because of the Heart Devouring Demon.
The Nameless Sword Immortal did not consider the siege and hunting of the people. Instead, he chose to sacrifice himself to kill all the Heart Devouring Demons while he still had some reason.
In the end, he lost his mind and became a veritable walking corpse. Because of his heroic dedication, the people were reluctant to call for killing and let the Immortal Realm imprison the Nameless Sword Immortal in the secret realm.
Now the Immortal Realm can feel gratified that Wen Xing is extraordinary and has the style of the Nameless Sword Immortal in his youth. It is precisely in order not to disgrace his father's heroic name that Wen Xing forces himself to keep improving day and night.
He is the son of the Nameless Sword Immortal. He has been carrying the expectations of countless people since he was born. Not letting people down has become his life doctrine.
Bai Yao whispered, "Wen Xing, do you want to sleep with me today?"
Wen Xing was silent for a while.
She pulled the corner of his clothes, "There are so many dead here. I will be scared if I sleep alone at night."
Bai Yao said it seriously, with some fear and pleading in her eyes. Wen Xing, who had never been able to be so hard-hearted towards her, naturally could not refuse.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and it is already late at night.
Wen Xing sits on the bed with his eyes closed, quietly sensing the slightest movement in the city lord's mansion. His every move is upright and solemn. Even if he sits for several hours, his back is as straight as pine and cypress, and he is not affected by wind and rain.
However, what is inconsistent with his upright sitting posture is that his clothes have been rubbed into a mess.
Bai Yao kept changing her posture in his arms, leaning on his chest, lying on him, with her chin on his shoulder, and occasionally turning the page of the book in her hand.
The temperature in the desert was very low at night. She said she was cold, but it was something that could be solved with her spiritual power, but she liked to put her hands in his clothes, calling it warming.
Wen Xing let her do whatever she wanted, and when she put her hands in, he would cooperate by holding her tighter in his arms so that she could put her hands deeper.
Bai Yao stared at the words on the page, feeling a little bored.
She didn't know when she bought this book. It was about the heroine who didn't know people well in her previous life, mistook a genius for a waste, and offended the male protagonist who was able to defeat everyone in seconds. After being killed by the male protagonist, she was reborn and finally had the opportunity to make up for her mistakes.
So she decided to hold on to the thigh and change her unfortunate ending.
Bai Yao found it difficult to understand this logic. The male protagonist killed the heroine in his previous life. Shouldn't the heroine kill him when he was still young after being reborn?
Bai Yao couldn't understand why the heroine could fall in love with the man who killed her.
She threw away the book titled "After Rebirth, I Became Long Aotian's Beloved" in her hand, and just as her body tilted, a hand had already grasped her back.
Bai Yao leaned in Wen Xing's arms and yawned sleepily.
He was waiting for something that might happen at night, and she was reading a book to keep him company. However, she was not as good at staying up late as he was. When it was almost midnight, she was already drowsy.
Wen Xing whispered: "Yaoyao, you go to bed first."
Bai Yao did not respond to him. She had no interest in the conversation. She turned around and buried her face in his arms, hugging his neck with both hands. She was like a listless koala, nestling in his arms, smelling his scent to replenish her energy.
