Chapter 558: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
Ye Xiaoman kept delaying until all her men had left, then she quickly walked out of the auction house and merged into the busy street.
Xiao Chujing followed closely.
Ye Xiaoman had not yet thought of an excuse to refuse Xiao Chujing from living with her in the general's mansion.
Of course, she couldn't drive Yue Mushan away, she still needed Yue Mushan to manage her household.
The best solution was that she arranged a new residence for Xiao Chujing outside and visited him from time to time.
In this case, she would go to see Jiaying on Monday, deal with Ji Wenyi's entanglement on Tuesday, accompany Xiao Chujing for a day on Wednesday, take time to go back to the general's mansion to accompany Yue Mushan on Thursday, continue to see Jiaying on Friday, continue to accompany Xiao Chujing on Saturday, and rest on Sunday and accompany Yue Mushan at home.
Working all week long, Sister Man now lives the life of a corporate slave.
Several men were arranged in the same area. Would she bump into them one day when she was shopping with someone?
It’s so annoying. When can she contact Zhu Chuideng? She really wants to leave the ghost world immediately.
Ye Xiaoman was immersed in her own world when suddenly her wrist tightened and she was pulled by Xiao Chujing and quickly walked into a hidden alley beside the main road.
The palm of his hand holding her wrist was heavy and powerful, full of irresistible strength.
The man's steps were so fast that Ye Xiaoman had to speed up a little to keep up with him.
Xiao Chujing suddenly stopped and Ye Xiaoman bumped into his back. She frowned and touched the tip of her nose which was a little painful.
Xiao Chujing turned around, gently raised his hand, and touched her nose lovingly with an apologetic look. His slender fingers passed through her bangs and touched her bun, as if to make sure she was safe for the last time.
His movements were cautious and gentle, as if he was touching a rare treasure.
Ye Xiaoman looked at him carefully from a close distance and found that there was darkness under his eyes. He was tired from running around for a long time. His eyes were still tense and his emotions could not relax in a short time.
The next second, Xiao Chujing covered the back of Ye Xiaoman's head with his big hand, and Ye Xiaoman was urgently pulled into a warm embrace.
Xiao Chujing hugged Ye Xiaoman so tightly that he almost rubbed her into his flesh and blood.
"Junior Sister, it's great to see you again."
His voice came from deep in his chest, hoarse and a little trembling, as if he was suppressing some kind of fear that seemed ready to erupt at any time.
He is no longer the fearless hero, but just an ordinary person who is afraid of losing.
Ye Xiaoman cooperated by raising her head and resting the triangle area of her jaw on Xiao Chujing's shoulder. Her hands naturally hugged Xiao Chujing's waist, and she did not forget to touch and pat his back first, expressing silent comfort.
The alley is deserted and there is no one to disturb us, so we can hug for a long time.
Xiao Chujing was lost and then found again. I will never get tired of holding him no matter how long I hold him. If possible, I will never let go.
Ye Xiaoman yawned, feeling bored after a while.
The long alley is similar to the scenery in the human world. There are clotheslines on the roadside, and long and short clothes flutter in the wind. Shadows flicker and flow on people's bodies. However, unlike in the human world, the clothes hung here are paper clothes and painted skins.
Apart from that, the sounds of talking, children being beaten and crying are the same everywhere in the world.
It's this kind of life-like scene again.
It's easy to feel time slow, the years slipping by, bringing back memories of the days and nights spent practicing sword skills with Qing Zhengzong in the mountains, the three meals and one night's sleep together as we traveled together in the world, walking hand in hand on the bustling streets, the clouds were white, the wind was warm, the tassel on the sword behind my back swayed, and the daily peace and tranquility of life...
So scary!
A drowned ghost pushed a wheelbarrow with a sign that said "Human Meat Buns" and passed by them with a squinting look.
Ye Xiaoman turned her chin on Xiao Chujing's shoulder and looked into his eyes.
What are you looking at? Have you got the food safety certificate? If you look again, you will be fined and cry.
Ye Xiaoman has started to lose her focus.
"Senior Brother Xiao."
Ye Xiaoman really couldn't get used to an overly affectionate atmosphere. If others showed off something she didn't have, she would feel that it was a silent mockery of her.
She began to find something to say.
"It seems like your golden elixir isn't forming smoothly?"
"How come Junior Sister has gained another spiritual root?"
They both asked at the same time.
"You speak first."
"You first."
"You first."
What on earth is there to be modest about?
Ye Xiaoman was the first to take the responsibility. She had already prepared an excuse in advance. She would keep the fact that Ji Wenyi gave her the marrow-cleansing grass a secret.
"I found it in the treasure trove of the Taotie beast after I killed it."
She cut off the beginning and the end, concealed the existence of Yue Mushan and Jiaying, made artistic adaptations to key plots, and simply told the story of her life in the ghost world.
Including the adventure in Huanxi Villa, accidentally becoming a ghost soldier, and during the duel between Jiaying and the Ghost King, he was sent by his superiors to Huangquandu to repair the project.
"The Demon God Jing Zhui has been resurrected and fought a fierce battle with the Ghost Lord in the Ghost Prison."
"The Taotie Beast was fatally injured while assisting the Ghost Lord in battle. I took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to the two important figures and snatched it away."
When Xiao Chujing was looking for Ye Xiaoman, he asked many people around Huangquan Ferry. What Ye Xiaoman said was a little different from what he heard. "Didn't you open the ghost prison?"
Ye Xiaoman didn't want to admit it, fearing that she would be questioned about the source of her powerful strength. What if the sacrifice was for her marriage with Xiao Chujing?
"Haha, is that me? Wasn't it the duel between the two great men that tore the crack in the barrier?"
Xiao Chujing believed it without a doubt. Like everyone else, he was shocked when he first heard the news of Jing Zhui's resurrection. The world was about to be in chaos. Troubled times were a paradise for the strong and a training ground for the weak. He needed to become stronger as soon as possible to protect Ye Xiaoman. He felt the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
After being surprised, he was even more happy that Ye Xiaoman got the opportunity.
"Junior Sister, your inferiority complex shouldn't be so strong now, right? When will you make our relationship public?"
Ye Xiaoman immediately changed the subject: "Tell me about your golden elixir."
Xiao Chujing did not tell the truth. He did not tell Ye Xiaoman that he had to damage his foundation in order to break through the eighteen levels of hell and enter the gates of hell.
This was his personal choice, and he would bear all the consequences. It had nothing to do with his junior sister or anyone else. He also didn't want his junior sister to bear unnecessary guilt, so he chose to conceal it.
He simply told Ye Xiaoman that he was unlucky and had encountered a powerful opponent.
After listening to this, Ye Xiaoman found the plot to be similar to what she had read in the original novel. She hinted, "Brother Xiao, don't be too depressed. Maybe this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise."
Xiao Chujing sighed: "Little Junior Sister, please don't look down on me for being a waste."
"Brother, don't underestimate yourself. In my heart, you will always be the most powerful..."
Hang up.
Ye Xiaoman's unconditional admiration directly touched upon Xiao Chujing's hidden inner self of inferiority and conceit. He didn't need to look, as her bright eyes looking at him with immense trust automatically emerged in his mind. He felt as comfortable as drinking fine wine, and all the gloom in his body and mind was swept away.
What is a demon in his heart? He has no such thing.
Junior Sister is different from everyone else. Her feelings are pure and passionate. No matter how miserable he is, she will always love him unconditionally.
He actually suspected that she was lying to him just now. How foolish he was.
