The formation was activated, and Gu Yangyang was held tightly by Ji Xiao. She turned around, and in her surprised and stunned eyes, she could only see the mouthparts on the insect king's cage!
As for the thin red figure, after throwing the golden silk cocoon to her, he disappeared into the darkness...
Wrapped in the belly of that terrifying giant creature, he burrowed into the ground, his life or death unknown...
The light of the formation enveloped the two of them. She didn't know where the formation was going to take her. She just stared blankly at the ground below, which was getting farther and farther away. She didn't even bother to pay attention to the figures rushing towards her...
"Don't look at it."
The young man's steady voice rang in her ears.
Ji Xiao reached out and covered her eyes.
Gu Yangyang was stiff until the light of the formation completely enveloped their bodies. She blinked slowly, her eyes wet...
…
Human world.
Inn.
Sizzle…
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, two-thirds of the main task has been completed, please keep up the good work...]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host...]
In the quiet guest room, the girl had been lying on the bed for a whole day, without a sound.
She was wearing a simple and plain dress, and on the chair next to her were her wedding dress and phoenix crown.
Because her mind was too confused, Gu Yangyang didn't want to pay attention to the system.
She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the top of the tent with her eyes open. As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Wen Xia risking his life to send them out of the worm's belly would appear in her mind...
【Ding! Host...】
"007, do you think I shouldn't have come here? Why do bad things happen wherever I go?"
Gu Yangyang murmured.
007 was silent for a while, realizing that she had hit a dead end again, so he had to persuade her:
[Host, you should think positively...]
[Actually, this is just what you think. For them, your presence is the best thing...]
[And in reality, there are more benefits...]
As some things could not be said, the system had to express it in a tactful way, but the person on the bed turned over and obviously did not hear what it said.
【......】
"007, if you're okay, take a rest. I want to be alone for a while."
“Knock knock—”
As soon as Gu Yangyang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Thinking of Ji Xiao's stubborn and silent personality over the past two days, Gu Yangyang could only helplessly get up from the bed, walk over in her shoes and open the door.
She changed out of her usual red dress, but Ji Xiao was still dressed in black.
It was noon at this moment, and he was holding food from the restaurant opposite.
He had a calm and cool expression, with no trace of superfluous expression except for his sharp features.
After not seeing him for a while, he seemed to have become more reserved.
"Senior Sister, it's time for lunch." Ji Xiao said lightly.
Gu Yangyang pursed her lips, knowing that it was not a good idea to stay in the room in silence all day like this, and she shouldn't let her unhappiness drag the other person down.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She opened the door, stepped aside, and smiled for the first time since leaving Worm Valley:
"You haven't eaten yet, come in first and eat together."
She didn't notice the slightly stiff back of the person opposite her, and walked to the round table by herself and took away the tea set on the table...
The person standing outside the door hesitated for only a second before stepping in.
He closed the door gently, and stood beside Gu Yangyang with his tall and straight figure. At first glance from behind, the two of them looked quite compatible, not to mention that they were cleaning the table together, which made them look even more warm and harmonious...
Ji Xiao took the food out of the lunch box and laid it out one by one.
Gu Yangyang sat down, took a look, and found that almost all of them were her favorite foods.
She couldn't help but look at Ji Xiao who was sitting opposite her, but she found that his face was calm, as if all these dishes were to her taste and it was just a coincidence...
Seeing this, Gu Yangyang thought for a moment and pretended to know nothing.
The two of them ate quietly. The dishes ordered by Ji Xiao were quite large, and the table was full until Gu Yangyang was full.
Putting down her chopsticks, Gu Yangyang seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Watching Ji Xiao silently cleaning up the dishes, she felt embarrassed, swallowed the words in her throat, and reached out to help.
But before her hand touched the edge of the bowl, the bowl in front of her was taken away by Ji Xiao.
Although the other party didn't say it, it was obvious that he didn't want her to work...
There was no choice but to stand aside and watch.
It was not until Ji Xiao had packed up everything and was ready to go out with the lunch box that she finally couldn't help but call out to him.
"Ji Xiao!"
The young man paused.
Gu Yangyang bit her lip and tangled her skirt with her fingers, "Wen Xia...will be fine, right?"
[Ding! Ji Xiao is dissatisfied +800]
[Ding! Ji Xiao's Jealousy +800]
[Ding! Ji Xiao's disgust +800]
[Ding! Ji Xiao darkens +800]
【......】
The long-lost system prompt sound rang out unexpectedly, leaving Gu Yangyang stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at Ji Xiao's cold profile, unable to react.
"Senior sister."
A cold voice sounded from the person in front of the door.
He turned slightly to the side, and his deep and dark eyes fell on Gu Yangyang, which made her unable to understand...
"Wen Xia used the poisonous insects to control you, trapped you in the insect village, and almost dragged you to death... Even if he did this, don't you blame him, Senior Sister?"
The young man's dark eyes seemed to have a magical power to see through people's hearts, and they made Gu Yangyang feel panic inexplicably.
She had done nothing wrong, but under the gaze of the other party, she almost instinctively felt guilty...
It seemed as if her softness and kindness were wrong and unfair...
Her partiality not only failed to make some people give up, but only made them more jealous...
【......】
Gu Yangyang opened her mouth, but seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, she could only say dryly:
"No...it's just that Wen Xia and I are done with each other. No matter what, he risked his life to get us out. I just feel...a little uneasy."
As she spoke, she didn't know whether Ji Xiao believed it or not, but the more she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and she became less confident.
Ji Xiao looked at her, taking in her embarrassment and uneasiness.
He knew he shouldn't be jealous. He was grateful enough for having survived a near-death experience. Now that he had the chance to be with her, he shouldn't have any other extravagant wishes...
But he asked himself, in the past two days, when he saw the girl always in a daze, he couldn't help but feel jealous, and there was a voice in his heart that kept questioning -
Why can they all get her through various means, but he, Ji Xiao, can't?
