Chapter 15: Afraid of the dark? Do you want me to sleep next to you?
Fang Zhiming's tears slid down her face again. Xu Xingxing reached out to get the rag in a panic, but before she got it, Fang Zhiming hugged her waist and burst into tears.
She tried to persuade him for a long time, and did not come out of Fang Zhiming's room until midnight.
At this time, Lingshou Mountain was already quiet. The sky was dotted with stars, and a galaxy was paved with broken diamonds, which was extremely gorgeous.
She was lost in thought when Xiao Hei suddenly landed in front of her. She was startled and touched her heart and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xiao Hei didn't answer but said: "You can be anyone's confidant."
"It's all because you were so talkative today." She walked around Xiao Hei and pointed to the room at the end of the corridor. "You should still sleep in that room. No one has touched the things in it since you left."
After saying that, she pushed open the door beside her and walked into the room yawning. When she closed the door and prepared to go to bed, she suddenly found that Xiao Hei was already sitting on the bed, about to lie down.
Xu Xingxing was very surprised. She looked at the door and then at him: "How did you get in?"
Xiao Hei didn't respond, he just lay down and closed his eyes.
Xu Xingxing: ???
She was helpless and turned to leave: "Then I'll sleep in your room."
After opening the door several times and then pushing it again, it remained motionless. Xu Xingxing was speechless: "Are you a three-year-old?"
She rolled her eyes at the person on the bed and walked towards the window:
If the door can’t be opened, I can’t just climb through the window!
...can't open it either.
What on earth is this guy trying to do!
Xu Xingxing sat on the edge of the bed with his arms folded across his chest, suppressing his anger and asking, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Xiao Hei didn't open his eyes and pointed to the ground: "You sleep here."
Fuck you!
"So why should I sleep on the floor instead of sleeping on the bed?"
Xiao Hei simply ignored her impotent rage, and his breathing became even.
After Xu Xingxing tried a few more times, he thought that he couldn't tear down the door in the middle of the night. He also thought that he had finally made peace with this guy, and he couldn't tear up the contract in anger after just one day.
After silently repeating "peace and love" several times in her heart, she viciously pulled off his quilt and spent the night on the floor.
The quilt was not thick, so she didn't sleep well on the floor. When Xiao Hei woke up, she pulled him down and rolled onto the bed to catch up on her sleep.
Fang Zhiming prepared breakfast early and rushed to Riyao Mountain. He did not come back until noon. It was not until late at night that the sound of his door was heard opening. This happened every day after that.
During this period, Kunlun summoned her and Xiao Hei, saying that he would punish Xiao Hei. She tried her best to prove Xiao Hei's innocence in the court, and later found Luo Zisheng and Luo Yin to testify, which made them slightly convinced.
However, some elders said that Xiao Hei was not completely unrelated to the matter and that he should be punished. Xu Xingxing directly blocked their words by saying that "she was willing to be punished together with her spirit beast."
Apart from Xu Yi, no one dared to directly punish the saviour, and it was because of this that Xu Xingxing responded with such dignity.
As for Xu Yi, fortunately he was not in Kunlun because of the unusual movements in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, otherwise the two would have been inevitably involved in another family conflict.
Let’s talk about Luo Zisheng and Mo Yin again.
Although they all stayed in the sect, Yue Baiyin did not directly accept them as disciples. The reason was the same as Fang Zhiming's. He also said that although the path of cultivating immortals looked glamorous to outsiders, it was actually not easy to walk. The difficulties and obstacles involved could not be told to outsiders. Therefore, he let them make a decision after gaining some experience here.
So Luo Zisheng, Mo Yin and Tao Fuzhong followed Yue Baiyin into the mountains to practice every morning.
Of course, I called her, but she just closed the door and ignored me.
Yue Baiyin lectured the other three outside her door: "Xingxing has formed a beast contract with the superior spirit beast Huodou, which allows him to improve his magic without much effort. You don't have such good fortune, so you must not learn to be so lazy."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Xu Xingxing in the room turned over and continued to sleep.
The Beast Taming Sect became very deserted during the day because Fang Zhiming was busy practicing, so no one made lunch.
After drinking rice porridge for five days in a row, Xu Xingxing felt that her life was becoming less and less energetic. So, the day before she was about to collapse, she took Xiao Hei, who also had nothing to do, out to look for food.
Standing on the streets of Xuancheng, she felt refreshed and overjoyed. The moment she ate the meat, the low mood she had been feeling for the past few days disappeared instantly.
Life on earth is still quite worth it!
She praised Xiao Hei highly: "The food in this restaurant is really delicious!"
Then I ate it for half a month.
Finally, after getting tired of it, I changed to another restaurant and still received high praise from them, and continued to eat there for another half a month.
Xiao Hei has been trained by her to be a good dining partner, from his initial disdain and confusion to his light acceptance and now his serious comments.
But she always worries at night because she is still forced to sleep on the floor.
She tolerated sleeping on the floor for the first half of the month because he looked so good when he was sleeping. She tolerated it again for the second half of the month because of Uncle Hei's filter. When she was about to lose her patience, she finally found out why Xiao Hei did this.
That day at noon, after she and Xiao Hei finished their meal, they met Meng Gou Zi on the street. To express his gratitude, Meng Gou Zi invited them into his home for a visit. She couldn't refuse, so she had to go with him.
The people around her who had moved out of the village also came with delicious food and wine to thank her. Xu Xingxing always loved the hustle and bustle, so she had a good time and drank some wine as well.
Xiao Hei was very resistant at first, with an ugly look on his face. He tried to leave several times but was forcibly pulled back by Xu Xingxing. After she made him drink a few glasses of wine, he became obedient.
It was already late after dinner, and Meng Gouzi had prepared two guest rooms.
Xu Xingxing happily went straight to one of the rooms, locked the door without saying hello, and secretly peeked through the crack in the door. She saw Xiao Hei only glanced at her door and then went into the room next door.
She fell asleep peacefully, but suddenly felt the urge to urinate in the middle of the night. When she got up, she felt a splitting headache. After going to the toilet, she held her head and walked back.
It was dark, her head was aching, and she had her head bowed, so she didn't realize something was wrong until she entered the room.
I saw that the windows in the house were wide open, and Xiao Hei was sitting in front of the window looking out.
The moonlight was cool, shining on his profile and also reflecting on the golden bell on his neck. His face, which was always a little coquettish, now seemed inexplicably well-behaved and lonely.
She suddenly sobered up and when she wanted to leave, she said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep."
He tilted his head slightly to look over, his eyelashes filled with a frosty light, and his eyes, which were always extremely dark and lifeless, unexpectedly revealed a deep loneliness.
Perhaps because she had drunk quite a bit today, she felt her face getting hot. As if possessed by some mysterious force, she asked, "You can't sleep except when you sleep with me, right?"
He seemed to think seriously about it and said, "Yes."
Uh...Xu Xingxing's tipsy brain was a little confused:
Is she taking some kind of sleeping pill?
"What's wrong? You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" Xu Xingxing muttered in a low voice.
Xiao Hei was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed:
"I see."
Xu Xingxing clearly felt that his heart skipped a beat.
It was as if the evil god accidentally revealed his soft heart, and even his face, which was always stained with evil, became fragile. He was so beautiful that he looked like a night-blooming cereus under the moonlight, making people dare not touch him lightly.
The next day, she recalled what Xiao Hei had said that night. She didn't believe it at all, but his lonely look was too pitiful, so she simply closed the door, rolled onto the bed, moved inward, and said:
"I won't sleep on the floor!"
She felt very dizzy and fell asleep right after she said this, not knowing anything.
She thought Xiao Hei would sleep next to the bed. After all, this bed was much bigger than the one at home, and they had been sleeping in the same room for several months, so she no longer had any taboos in her heart.
But when she woke up, she saw Xiao Hei sitting in the corner of the bed, his arms around his chest, his head resting on the bed rail, sleeping soundly.
This was the first time she saw Xiao Hei sleeping in the early morning sunlight. His head was slightly lowered, and his hair fell softly on both sides of his cheeks. There was a breeze outside the window, gently blowing his black hair, and even making Jin Ling sway slightly. His usual fierceness was gone, and his handsome eyebrows looked very gentle and obedient.
Her heart couldn't help but tremble.
She slowed her breathing involuntarily and just kept looking at him quietly until he woke up.
Xiao Hei was very sensitive to sight, and the moment he woke up, he looked directly into Xu Xingxing's eyes. She froze and pretended to be nothing, "Why are you sleeping sitting up?"
Xiao Hei returned to his familiar appearance. He raised his eyebrows and said with a sarcastic smile, "Why? You want me to sleep next to you?"
Xu Xingxing: ...I shouldn’t feel sorry for him!
But after returning home, she still put an extra bed in the room.
The years when my natal spirit beast and I were roommates.
Yue Baiyin smiled with relief: "Silly disciple, you finally know how to do the right thing."
Fang Zhiming was puzzled. "Grandmaster, how about you say this to Master?"
Yue Baiyin had said before that if one wanted to master the Beast Taming School's techniques more quickly, it would be best to stay with one's natal spirit beast day and night.
The reason why Gu Nuo was so angry at that time was that after she signed the beast contract, her career as a sword cultivator was equivalent to coming to an end. It’s not that all her skills would be lost, but she would stop at the Nascent Soul stage in the sword path and it would be difficult for her to make further progress.
Xu Xingxing didn't care. She was not from this world, so of course everything was based on the mission. Besides, she felt that her current magic was more than enough.
After all, there are not many powerful people in this world who have reached the state of transformation.
Yes, in fact, she had already entered the state of transformation. When the system repaired her meridians, it also raised her realm to a higher level.
The system's Dao cannot be seen unless it is from a cultivator who has reached the fusion stage, and there are no cultivators who have reached the fusion stage in the world today.
But Yue Baiyin looked at her a little more strangely at that time, which made her uneasy for a long time. Fortunately, he didn't mention it later, so she thought he had seen it wrong.
Yue Baiyin spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and said, "You know shit. Xiao Hei is already a top-grade spirit beast, and Xingxing's aptitude is excellent. If they both practice diligently, within five years, she will definitely enter the realm of refining emptiness. No, even fusion is very likely."
Fang Zhiming looked skeptical: "I don't believe it, do you, Senior Sister?"
Tao Fuzhong picked up the melon seed shells that Yue Baiyin had spit on the ground and threw them into the trash can, then echoed, "Master, please stop talking nonsense. Senior Sister, this cultivation method must start from the Dan Formation stage. How could it be so quick?"
Xu Xingxing cracked some melon seeds and shook his head. "Not believing is one thing, not practicing is another. How about you, Master, help me persuade Xiao Hei to practice with me?"
"Believe it or not," Yue Baiyin grabbed another handful of melon seeds, "solve your own problems yourself. Why would you bother your master?"
After saying that, he walked away. Tao Fu swept up the melon seed shells on the ground again and reminded them, "Don't throw them around."
Then he went after Yue Baiyin.
"Why don't you go to practice today?" Xu Xingxing looked at Fang Zhiming who was still eating melon seeds.
"Senior Sister, I was just about to tell you." Fang Zhiming brushed off the melon seed crumbs on his body. "A hundred miles from Kunlun, Qingzhou City has been hit by a sudden snowstorm for over a month now. The people are suffering terribly. I sent two fellow Taoists there half a month ago, but they haven't returned yet, and I can't reach them using the sound transmission talisman. Master ordered me to go and see if it's caused by demons."
"A spirit beast has been detected in this area. Please come with us, host."
