Chapter 19 Nightmare is really my good spirit beast
Seeing that Xiao Hei didn't look like he was joking, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"I like to sleep alone..." But aren't you afraid of the dark?
"Then why did you follow me again?"
????? ?????
So I became a bed-climbing bitch? ?
"Aren't you afraid of the dark?"
Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Who told you that?"
You, big brother! You!
She was a little angry and too lazy to argue with him anymore, so she went out, turned right and went back to the house to sleep.
Love whoever you want, don’t blame me if you can’t sleep!
Xu Xingxing was really tired and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
She didn't know how long it had been before she felt very cold in her sleep. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw the thatched roof above her.
? Where is this?
"My Lord, you're awake. You might be too tired. You fell asleep while talking just now." A middle-aged woman came to the bedside.
She felt groggy, her mind a mess, and she couldn't remember anything. "Who are you?"
"You forgot that you were searching for the whereabouts of the monster in this village. Come in and have some tea."
Oh, I remember now, she went to a village outside Gyeongju with Xiao Hei... By the way, where is Xiao Hei?
"Where is the man who came with me?"
"man?"
The middle-aged woman covered her lips and chuckled, "What are you talking about, Immortal Lord? You came here by yourself."
"Myself?"
Really? How could she remember... When she tried to recall, her head started to hurt.
"Yes, how could you forget? You were the only one outside when my son opened the door."
son?
Yes, the person who opened the door for her seemed to be a child, but the person who greeted her seemed to be a middle-aged man...
My head hurts. What's going on?
"Where is that man?" Xu Xingxing rubbed his temples hard.
"man?"
The middle-aged woman said, "You are talking about my husband. He has gone to bed and asked me to take care of you."
wrong.
"Aren't you seriously ill?" She seemed to touch the end of the tangled thread in a trance.
"Yes," the middle-aged woman coughed twice, "but it's nothing serious. How can we neglect the Immortal Lord?"
"That,"
Xu Xingxing looked up at her and asked word by word, "Where is the man who came with me?"
"You are—"
Her spiritual energy radiated outwards, and ice began to climb up from the middle-aged woman's feet like vines. "So, you are the demon that makes ice eat people—"
"Or a ghost that casts an illusion?"
The middle-aged woman stared at Xu Xingxing, opened her mouth wide and screamed in an instant, blood gushing out of her mouth and flowing all over her body and the ground. Her skin peeled off, her face began to turn blue, her eyeballs fell out, and there were two bloody holes on her pale face.
With that sharp cry, the ice on the female ghost's body cracked and she rushed towards Xu Xingxing with a roar!
Xu Xingxing teleported to the side, no longer caring about being afraid. He immediately summoned the sword and attacked the female ghost.

Xiao Hei, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the fluctuation of spiritual power next to him. The temperature around him also dropped at an extremely fast rate. In just a moment, the wall next to him was covered with thin ice.
His breathing stagnated, and he jumped out of bed and ran to the next door. Before he even touched the door, he heard a thud, followed by a low curse from inside the room:
"I'm really screwed..."
Xiao Hei outside the door: ...
Xu Xingxing rubbed her shoulder, which was hurt from the fall, and looked towards the room that had frozen due to the leakage of spiritual power in her dream. She felt her head hurt even more...
This fucking nightmare is so damn real.
She raised her hand to remove the ice, then sat on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up, walking to the window and opening it.
A breeze blew into the room, gradually dissipating the cold sweat on her body. She propped her face up with her hands and looked out at the courtyard. The lanterns on the corridor were emitting a soft warm light. Xu Xingxing sighed to herself:
I won’t be able to sleep tonight...
Oh, I don’t know what time it is...
Suddenly, a person stood in front of her, blocking the yellowish light source in front of her. Xu Xingxing's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, suddenly started beating faster again. She subconsciously used her telekinesis to condense an ice blade in the air and threw it over.
The figure tilted his head slightly, and the ice blade flew past his ear, lifting a strand of hair. He seemed to chuckle:
"You're so scared?"
Xu Xingxing, who discovered it was Xiao Hei, said: ...
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Xu Xingxing said unhappily.
"Of course I was woken up by the sound of someone falling out of bed," Xiao Hei's voice was full of joking. "Why? You won't even sleep if you don't stay with me?"
If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten how angry I was before going to bed!
Coupled with the dream just now, Xu Xingxing was even more unhappy: "Leave me alone."
Then he closed the window with a snap.
Today is such an unlucky day!
She lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes and began to soothe herself to sleep.
From one sheep to one thousand three hundred and twenty-six dumplings, her eyes became wider and wider, and she became more and more energetic.
It’s so annoying! Why is it so annoying?
Why was he in such a good mood while she couldn't sleep? You know, she'd never had insomnia before!
It was she who took great pains to nurse him back to health, and it was she who was kind enough to be his roommate.
Now he just lets her sleep alone just because he listened to her words to fool others?
Fuck him!
She teleported to the window and opened it. The man hadn't left for some reason. He immediately looked over, but he still had that annoying expression on his face. As if he had seen something funny, a smile was hidden in his eyes. He asked knowingly, "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? Otherwise, I'll give up..."
She went straight out, walked up to him, hugged his arm confidently, tilted her neck and said, "Okay, it's really my good spirit beast!"
After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he dragged him into the room and pushed him onto the bed.
Xiao Hei, who was sitting on the bed, reacted and felt a little panicked. He pretended to be calm and said, "There are extra mattresses in the next room—"
"What do you need a mattress for?"
Xu Xingxing pushed him down on the bed with force, and imitated his expression with a raised lip corner, "No one needs to sleep on the floor tonight."
It was the first time that Xiao Hei looked at someone from this perspective. The woman was above him, saying some suggestive words. Her usually lively eyes were now tinged with a hint of charm, and they were extremely beautiful. His mind suddenly went blank, and he could no longer hear any sounds around him. He looked at her red lips that were getting closer and closer, and all he could hear was his thunderous heartbeat.
Closer. What was he doing? Why wasn't he pushing me away? Why did my whole body freeze, even my breathing having to be slow?
Suddenly, the woman burst into laughter and then fell beside him.
She carefully pulled the quilt up to her neck, revealing only her small head. Then she looked at him with a smile and said,
"As expected of my natal spirit beast, you still care about your master. How about we sleep together today?"
After a pause, she pretended to be very considerate and said, "This is the only quilt I have. Are you cold? Let's cover ourselves together."
Then it suddenly dawned on him, "My little black one is a fire-type spirit beast, so naturally he's not afraid of the cold. Well, good night."
Before Xiao Hei could say anything, he saw Xu Xingxing had closed her eyes. He looked at the corners of her lips which were slightly dipped in a smile. Although he knew that she was deliberately teasing him, for some reason, he could not get angry at all. On the contrary, the strange feeling that had not arisen for a long time was now filling his chest.
He never knew what it was, but now, she was lying beside him, and her warm body temperature was transmitted to the skin of his arm through the quilt. It was a soft warmth, exactly the same as the strange feeling in his chest.
He just looked at her like this, forgetting to move, even forgetting to turn over, just lying flat on his back looking at her sideways. After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door. He woke up with a start and realized that it was already daybreak.
"Senior Sister! Get up!"
Qi Danxuan's voice came from outside the door, "Fang Zhiming and the others went out a long time ago, and now they are back and having breakfast. I made it myself, do you want to try it~"
"Senior Sister? Are you still asleep? I'm going in."
"etc!"
Xu Xingxing had to wake up even if she was still asleep. "Xuanxuan! I'm not wearing any clothes! I'll put on my clothes and go out right away, okay?"
Xiao Hei watched her leisurely from the side. Seeing her panic, he felt in a very good mood for some reason.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside, Senior Sister."
Gloating over someone else's misfortune! Xu Xingxing raised her hand and covered Xiao Hei's face with the quilt. She stood up and walked to the door, opening it a crack. After opening it enough for her to move sideways, she quickly came out and immediately closed the door behind her. Then she smiled at Qi Danxuan, who looked puzzled.
"Let's go, Xuanxuan."
When they arrived at the hall, they saw Fang Zhiming eating. Qin Feng and Lin Yue were sitting aside without picking up their chopsticks, just drinking tea from time to time.
"Haven't you also formed a pill? Haven't you practiced fasting yet?" Qin Feng said to Fang Zhiming with a look of disgust.
"I'm happy to, what's it to you?"
When Lin Yue saw Xu Xingxing outside the door, she stood up and greeted her shyly, "Senior Sister is here."
Qin Feng walked out a few steps to greet them, invited Xu Xingxing to sit down, and handed the chopsticks to her: "Senior sister, try that dish. Junior sister Danxuan made it herself. Fang Zhiming has always wanted to eat it. I had a hard time protecting it for you."
"Brother Fang, if you want to eat, please eat. There's more in the kitchen. Sister, how about trying it?" Qi Danxuan said from the side.
Xu Xingxing was already accustomed to Qin Feng's hospitality, so she didn't refuse. Just as she was about to taste the dish, her chopsticks circled in the air and fell into the hands of the person behind her.
It’s Xiao Hei.
Xu Xingxing: ???
He sat beside her like flowing water, picked up the dish and put it into his mouth, saying calmly, "It's good."
"Can't you hold the chopsticks by yourself?" Xu Xingxing wondered why he was so childish today.
"What? I was so tired last night, can't you let me eat a bite first?" Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile was about to overflow in his eyes.
"You're tired as hell!"
"How can I not be tired? I finally had a chance to rest last night but you had a nightmare that made me—"
"Thank you so much, brother. Thank you for your help. Please eat more!" Xu Xingxing, realizing what he was going to say next, quickly interrupted him and even brought him another bun.
Fang Zhiming looked at them and smiled like an aunt, just short of grabbing a handful of melon seeds to crack.
Xu Xingxing picked up the bun and took a bite viciously. "Tell me, how's it going?"
"Let me tell you,"
Qin Feng withdrew his gaze from Xiao Hei. "Yesterday, the three of us did find a formation mark in the back mountain, but we searched the entire mountain and found nothing. Later, we used magic weapons to follow a rat hole and found a cave in the center of the mountain. We informed Senior Qi, and he sent someone to help us blast the cave open. We found nothing but frozen flesh and corpses inside. This must be the monster's lair."
