Chapter 067
It's not that he hated Lin Qingyang that much, but being shown love by a kid who was less than ten years old always made him feel like a scumbag...
Cheng Hui felt a headache.
It’s not that he hates Lin Qingyang that much, but being shown love by a kid who’s not even ten years old always makes him feel like a scumbag…_(:з」∠)_
As an ordinary person with a good education and normal values... well, let me add, an ordinary good person, he felt guilty every time he thought of his engagement with Lin Qingyang.
If Lin Qingyang were a little older, it would be fine. After all, it's normal for teenagers to fall in love with someone without knowing what they're doing. But the problem is that Lin Qingyang is not even ten years old... He really doesn't have any ambiguous thoughts at all, and he just feels overwhelmed.
His attempt to correct the kid's view on love failed. Seeing Lin Qingyang's face becoming increasingly gloomy, he rationally swallowed back the words he wanted to say to persuade him.
Eh…
Never mind, take your time.
"Ahem...Have you ever seen this kind of monster?" Cheng Hui changed the subject with difficulty.
Although Lin Qingyang was unhappy, he still cooperated: "I haven't seen it."
"Oh..." Cheng Hui felt very embarrassed. He was really not good at doing this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Lin Qingyang didn't seem to intend to continue the unpleasant discussion just now, and said directly: "Perhaps it was cultivated by the special environment here."
Cheng Hui nodded. It wasn't surprising. After all, this was an ancient tomb, and most likely the tomb of an immortal. Who knew what would emerge from it?
He remembered that there was once a chronicle in the library, which recorded many secrets of the Xuanheng world... the kind written as secrets, but read as gossip.
It records that after the tomb of an ancient immortal was opened, the immortal inside actually transformed his body into pure spiritual energy, and then gave birth to a great demon in the ancient tomb. The great demon was causing trouble in the Xuanheng Realm, and when it was besieged by several gods, it accidentally broke the passage to the demon world and escaped.
Later, it was said that the great demon also gained a great reputation in the Demon Realm. To this day, he is still a powerful Demon Emperor who occupies one-fifth of the Demon Realm's territory. At the same time, he also left a passage to the Demon Realm for the Xuanheng Realm.
Fortunately, the passage is not very big, and because it was opened by chance, high-level cultivators cannot pass through. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can pass through from this side, but cannot come back, and the demons on the other side cannot enter either.
Even so, every year there are still a large number of low-level demons that attack the Xuanheng Realm through that passage. For this reason, both the good and the evil have to designate that area as a special zone, where the two sides are forbidden to fight, and agree to jointly guard the passage to prevent the invasion of demons.
The Corpse Puppet Sect also bears the responsibility of guarding the passage. Cheng Hui heard about this from his senior brother.
There is only one fellow disciple left among the thirteen peaks, and the remaining two brothers and sisters who have never had the chance to meet are taking turns guarding the passage.
Each rotation lasts at least ten years, and they have to stay there for five years before returning.
The opening of an ancient tomb could lead to such serious consequences, which made many monks who were obsessed with archaeology give up a bit of thought.
Ancient tombs are not so easy to dig, and the ancient immortals were definitely not kind-hearted people. If you dig up someone's ancestral tomb, you must be mentally prepared to be buried by them. The ancient tombs that have been excavated since then have also proved that there is nothing that cannot be dug, only things that you can't imagine. You never know what you will dig out from an ancient tomb...
Therefore, everyone was mentally prepared when entering this ancient tomb. Encountering an unfamiliar creature was just a small matter. As long as they could deal with the big monsters that no one could deal with elsewhere, they would definitely gain something here.
rustling...
As the two of them said this, Cheng Hui's expression suddenly changed.
He pulled Lin Qingyang up and said, "Let's go!"
Although Lin Qingyang didn't find anything, he trusted Cheng Hui very much and ran out immediately.
The two men quickly left their original place and ran less than half a mile before they saw that the place where they had just killed the monster had been submerged in a sea of black steel needles.
There were also a lot of black fur balls emerging from the sand and chasing in the direction they were fleeing.
"Oh my god... have we disturbed the hell out of this?" Cheng Hui couldn't help but complain while running.
Lin Qingyang's mouth twitched: "Probably not."
It's just killing two fur balls, why is it so necessary to be so persistent...
The two of them were running fast in front, and a large number of fur balls were chasing them desperately. They ran nearly ten miles in one breath before they could barely get rid of those fur balls.
"That's strange, why is this thing chasing us?" Cheng Hui raised his hand and smelled it, but he didn't feel any special smell on his body.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyang quickly moved over and sniffed his chest twice. He was so close that Cheng Hui could actually feel the hot breath from his breath through his clothes.
Cheng Hui: ...
He extended a finger in disgust, pressed it against his forehead and pushed him away: "Why are you getting so close? Don't you think it stinks? It's all sweat!"
"It doesn't stink, Hui... Ah Hui smells good." Lin Qingyang curled up the corners of his mouth. He realized that he couldn't let Cheng Hui continue to treat him as a child, otherwise he would never be able to make him face up to his feelings. The first step to stop him from treating him as a child was to change his name.
Cheng Hui's heart beat violently.
Shit... Don't call him Ah Hui, it will remind him of his other fiancé...
Wait, why does this sound so mean?
Bah! Bah! Bah!
It has nothing to do with him, he didn't even acknowledge the two men's identities as his fiancés!
Cheng Hui: ...
Emmm...why do I feel even worse?
Never mind the details.
In short, he doesn't recognize either this little brat or that handsome man!
To hell with my fiancé!
There is not even any emotional basis. This fiancé appears out of nowhere. Whoever wants him can take him!
A bunch of messy thoughts popped up in his mind, but Cheng Hui's hand was still firm in pushing Lin Qingyang away.
If you don't want to lead the child astray, it's best not to be too ambiguous, such as putting it against your chest and smelling it. It's really embarrassing.
"Nonsense, I'm a grown man and I smell of sweat, how can I smell good?" After pushing the man away, Cheng Hui instinctively picked up the corner of his clothes and smelled it.
He expected to smell the familiar stench of sweat, something he'd always smelled after playing basketball and wiping his sweat off with his clothes. But this time, he didn't smell anything at all.
No...it's not that there isn't any, it's just that there isn't the sweaty smell he imagined, but instead there's a cool fragrance.
The cool fragrance was faint and almost imperceptible, and it smelled quite nice, no worse than any perfume he had smelled before.
Cheng Hui: ...
No, why do I smell good?
Cheng Hui was completely bewildered. He switched hands and again, smelled the same faint, cold fragrance. And it was a bit familiar, a bit like...
"Ahui, you don't sweat, so where does the sweat smell come from? Besides, even if you control yourself to sweat, it can't be a bad smell now, but this faint fragrance. You are a zombie, and I have refined you with so many materials. Didn't you find that you didn't have a corpse smell in the beginning?" Lin Qingyang tapped Cheng Hui's chest with amusement.
Smell?
Impossible!
How could he allow Cheng Hui to have that disgusting corpse odor on his body?
Besides, they, the Corpse Puppet Sect, are experts in manipulating corpses. They can even turn corpses into living people. How could they possibly spend all day with corpses that emit a foul smell?
Cheng Hui:...What the hell?
As a grown man, am I going to smell good all day? I feel like something is wrong.
"Ahui doesn't like it?" Lin Qingyang asked with some confusion.
"Not really..." Cheng Hui just felt a toothache. It's not that he liked the smell of sweat from the past, but he just felt that there was something wrong with him smelling so good all day long.
"Don't worry, Ah Hui." Lin Qingyang understood his concerns and said with a smile, "Only you and I can smell this smell. Outsiders cannot detect it."
Cheng Hui: ...Okay, as long as you are happy.
The two of them had already run for some distance in order to get rid of those black hair balls. Although they were still in the desert, they could already vaguely see a light green layer not far away.
"Shall we go over there and take a look?" Cheng Hui looked around and felt that places with greenery should be more fertile than the desert. Perhaps he would gain something if he went over to take a look.
"No, let's go back and take a look." Lin Qingyang shook his head.
"Go back?" Cheng Hui clicked his tongue. He had just been chased so far away by that group of black fur balls, why should he go back?
He was not afraid of those hair balls. Those little things had limited lethality to him, but the problem was that there were too many of them. Quantitative change could easily lead to qualitative change. If one of them really broke through his defense, it wouldn't matter if he got stabbed a few times, but if he couldn't protect Lin Qingyang, he would be in big trouble.
"I think the black ball of hair just now is not that simple. Let's go back and take a look at the two balls of hair we killed before." Lin Qingyang said without giving up.
"Alright, go ahead if you want to, but if I say retreat, we must leave immediately. If you don't agree, I won't go," Cheng Hui said. He had divine sense and could monitor the situation in advance, allowing him to escape immediately if he detected the risk of being surrounded.
It is not difficult to see from the situation just now that these black hair balls have good short-distance sprint ability, but their endurance is not strong. As long as you are not surrounded by them, escaping will not be a problem.
"Okay." Lin Qingyang responded obediently.
Cheng Hui glanced at him and felt that this little brat was starting to act like a drama queen again.
How could a child under ten be so clever? The occasional display of maturity would frighten even an adult like him.
Eh...it's all due to the circumstances...it's so pitiful for a child to have no family to rely on.
He sighed silently, found a perfect excuse for Lin Qingyang, and once again missed the opportunity to uncover the truth.
The two quickly returned to the place where they had fought before. On the way back, they deliberately slowed down. With Cheng Hui's spiritual sense expanded, most situations in the desert could not escape his surveillance.
He saw that the black fur balls that had been chasing them just now had already hidden deep underground. As long as he was careful and walked lightly, they would not be awakened from their sleep.
"It seems like there is something going on." Cheng Hui also discovered that, logically speaking, the noise caused by them killing the two black-haired balls would at most alarm some of the black-haired balls nearby, but the black-haired balls chasing them just now were almost the entire tribe coming out in full force, which was totally unreasonable.
After the two returned to the original place, they found that one of the two black fur balls they had just killed was missing, while the body of the other one was still there.
Lin Qingyang looked at the situation and thought for a while, then asked Cheng Hui: "The second one that disappeared was the one that hit you. What did you feel at that time?"
Cheng Hui: ...feeling? Does a little pain count?
