Chapter 45: Painted Wall (Part 9)



Li Rushi thought that she would have to fight against the NPC, but it didn't happen, because Bai Tan came to look for her. Bai Tan changed into a simple white dress, covered her eyes with a ribbon, and although she couldn't see, she walked as if she was walking on flat ground. She stood outside the door and whispered, "Cong Lang, Cong Lang, are you in there?"

Li Rushi moved slightly, and Bai Tan could hear the rustling sound of the cloth clearly. Bai Tan's expression relaxed, as if he was relieved. He walked in with lotus steps: "Is it Conglang? Is Conglang in there?"

Li Rushi saw her walking slowly, and reached forward with his hand, but he couldn't bear it, so he stretched out his hand to reply him: "Miss Bai Tan, I'm here."

Bai Tan held Li Rushi's hand tightly with his slender fingers and refused to let go: "Cong Lang, you really... scared me to death... last night... Forget it, come with me first and have something to eat first."

Li Rushi had no objection. Since Bai Tan had mentioned it first, she didn't need to ask again to avoid provoking these NPCs. She helped Bai Tan out of the door and turned left to the kitchen in the temple. Bai Tan skillfully took a bowl of porridge from the pot and placed it in front of Li Rushi.

Bai Tan very considerately placed the chopsticks next to Li Rushi's hand and said, "Cong Lang, eat something. This happened suddenly and we didn't prepare anything to eat. You just deal with it first."

Li Ru looked down at the bowl of porridge. It was just an ordinary bowl of porridge, steaming hot. It was indeed an ordinary bowl of porridge, something people eat. There was nothing messy added, which made Li Ru very relieved.

After all, this body still needs to eat. Li Rushi originally wanted to meet Xie Jingshan and the others at noon and find time to get some food, but she didn't expect the beauty to be so considerate and directly provide the meal.

Bai Tan didn't hear Li Rushi move her chopsticks for a long time, and thought that Li Rushi was dissatisfied with the porridge. She couldn't help but get nervous. She frowned slightly, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes. She stammered, "Cong Lang, but I'm dissatisfied with the food..."

Li Rushi waved her hand, then remembered that she couldn't see, so she slowed down her voice: "It's okay, I was just distracted, thinking about my friend, this porridge is delicious, thank you."

Bai Tan finally relaxed. She could hear the sound of Li Rushi picking up the spoon and chewing. Ghosts have a more sensitive hearing than humans, not to mention that she is a blind ghost. Therefore, she could hear everything Li Rushi did around her.

Although I don't know what Conglang looks like, but I heard from my sister yesterday that he is good-looking. I think he is very handsome, and his manners are so perfect. Even in the outside world, he must be a very popular man.

Will such a Conglang really stay here as my sister said?

Li Rushi finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls, and without Bai Tan's help, he cleaned up the dishes by himself. Tianyi Sect advocates self-reliance and self-improvement, and the dishes must be cleaned up by oneself after meals. Li Rushi did the same when he was a disciple. He was used to doing it. But this action changed the meaning in Bai Tan's eyes: Cong Lang is really gentle and considerate. Sister is right, if you miss him, there will never be such a good person again.

Li Rushi washed her hands, walked back to Bai Tan, pressed her hand on her shoulder, and motioned him to sit down. But the body temperature of an adult human male was too hot, and the ghost who had been guarding Hanshan Temple for a hundred years felt that the warmth was unusual. Bai Tan subconsciously leaned against him, she reached out and pressed Li Rushi's hand, leaned her shoulders back slightly, and nestled in Li Rushi's arms.

Li Rushi: You...don’t come over here!

Perhaps it was because the expression on Li Rushi's face was too stiff, the barrage of comments began to liven up the discussion, with various emoticons appearing one after another.

[Hehehehe, how does it feel to have a beautiful woman throw herself into your arms, wife? ]

[This young lady looks so fragile, is she really attracted to Xuan Zhi? ]

[Xuanzhi: Don’t love me, it’s fruitless! To be honest, my wife’s expression means we’re not dating.]

[Perhaps anyone still remembers Zong Li by Daming Lake? My CP, where did you go, Zong Li, your wife is gone!!!]

Your wife is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone! ! ! ! ! !

Zong Li suddenly woke up.

He was sweating a lot, and his black hair fell on his neck, sticky and uncomfortable, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the voice in his heart. Zong Li frowned: What do you mean your wife is gone? ? ? He is a hundred-year-old demon king with only one flower, where did he get a wife?

Wait, where is this? He seems to have overlooked something?

It was dark and damp everywhere, the ground was bumpy and uneven, but the top was flat, like a place like an underground palace. The strange thing was that there were no windows here, but there was light, although only a little, but it was enough for him to see carefully.

His limbs were shackled with chains and there was a leather snare around his neck, which would slowly tighten as he moved. He was tied to a pillar, but the tie was not too tight, so he could just turn his head. Zong Li thought to himself that it was not his good brother's style to lock him up in such a place. It seemed that he had entered the dungeon.

Copy?

Zong Li finally understood where the guilty feeling he had been feeling from just now till now came from. So this is how it was!

He had promised Xuanzhi before, saying that he would help him if he could go to the same dungeon with Xuanzhi, but now? He didn't know where Xuanzhi was, and Xuanzhi probably didn't know he was here. In his current state, although his demonic power was not exhausted, it was locked by this lock, limiting his ability to use it. Maybe he would have to wait for Xuanzhi to save him.

Zong Li: No matter how I look at it, it seems like this partnership is about to break down...

But it's a good thing that he woke up. He had left a mark on Xuanzhi before. He had to try to contact Xuanzhi and see if Xuanzhi could come to help him. Of course, the premise is... Xuanzhi still treats him as a partner and doesn't think he is useless...

The barrage was filled with emoticons. Screenshots and screen recordings are not allowed in the live broadcast room, so the person with two mobile phones started to show off and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a black photo of his wife. I have to say that my wife really has the expression management level of a girl group. Her expression was only stiff for a moment, and then her expression returned to normal.

Li Rushi, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually feeling very miserable, said: I really have a lot of pain but I can't tell it to you. My beautiful lady, please don't hug me and cry. Let's talk about business instead!

Bai Tan leaned in the man's arms and sobbed a few times. Then she realized that she had lost her composure and quickly let go: "Cong Lang, I'm sorry, I was anxious for a moment, please don't mind."

Li Rushi nodded and returned to the seat opposite Bai Tan. After Bai Tan wiped her tears, she spoke again: "Ms. Bai Tan, tell me, what happened last night? Whose room was I in just now, and who attacked me last night?"

Bai Tan was emotionally unstable. He stood up in panic when he heard the word "attack". "She didn't do it, Cong Lang, she didn't do it to you, she just... just..."

Li Rushi looked at him quietly without saying a word. Bai Tan sensed the man's silence and knew that his sister was wrong, so he paused and said, "Last night you went to my sister Bai Zhi's room, where you were intoxicated by her "confusing" fragrance and had several dreams, but this fragrance did not harm you. Conglang, my sister and I did not intend to harm you, so don't be angry..."

Li Rushi thought about what she said, that is, Bai Zhi and Bai Tan are sisters, but if she remembered correctly, Bai Tao said last night that her sister wanted to see you, and it was Bai Zhi, so how did it become Bai Tan? Seeing how Bai Tan defended Bai Zhi, it was known that Bai Tan was very protective of her sister, so there should not be a quarrel between the sisters, so another answer is... Bai Zhi had a compelling reason and could not appear in front of people.

As expected, when Bai Tan talked about Bai Zhi, he paused and said, "My sister...she is sick and wants to entrust me to a good person. She knows you are here and thinks you are very good, but you said you like men, so she wove a dream, hoping that you can fall in love with me in the dream."

Bai Zhi lowered her head, her neck was as white as jade. She was born fragile, like a precious Epiphyllum. When she lowered her head like this, there was a kind of beauty that made her want to speak but could not. No man should be able to resist such beauty, of course, with the exception of Li Rushi, who looked like a man but had a woman's heart.

Li Rushi did not comment on this, and her tone remained cold and calm: "But I didn't, so your sister is angry?"

Bai Tan shook his head: "No, my sister's illness is getting worse. Cong Lang..." Bai Tan bit his lip, looking very conflicted, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, like ripples on a pool of spring water: "Cong Lang, can you help me, help me save my sister? I really have no other way..."

Li Rushi twirled her fingers and said nothing.

[No, this young lady is a bit confused. Your sister just controlled me with dreams, and now you want me to save your sister. This request is too...]

[?????I can't understand this train of thought. Xuanzhi, please don't agree to her. ]

[Did her sister originally want to keep Xuanzhi here? Then she used the spices and it backfired? ]

Bai Tan couldn't wait for Li Rushi's answer. Whether Li Rushi was a saint or not, although she felt some pity for this girl, she would definitely not repay evil with kindness. She had no intention of listening to what Bai Tan said. It was almost noon, and the time she had agreed with Xie Jingshan and Yang Liu had arrived. She had to go to the appointment first.

When she turned around, Bai Tan's voice rang out from behind her: "Cong Lang, if you help me save my sister, I will take you out of this illusion. Do you want to make this deal?"

Bai Tan sighed: "Cong Lang, I really have no choice. My sister is very important to me. I can't just watch her die."

Li Rushi asked doubtfully, "Are you so sure that I can save your sister?"

Bai Tan nodded: "Yes, only you can do it. Your two friends can't do it, and the three who came the other day can't do it either. Only you can do it."

"If I'm not mistaken, your Yuan Yang should still be there, right?"
