Chapter 377 Extra: Ming Cheng
Ever since Mingcheng sneaked away from the Demon Realm, he has been thinking about finding an opportunity to return to Anyang City to meet Nan Xiao.
It’s a pity that when he returned to Anyang City again, Nan Xiao and others had already gone to Qihua Island.
He knew he was still a step too late.
No matter what the result is, he wants to go to Qihua Island to take a look.
But unfortunately, before he could get close, Xuan Si discovered his tracks.
When his brother knew that he had escaped, he was very angry and sent out all the demon generals in the Demon Realm to capture him.
There was no other way, he could only run to the upper realm.
There are simply too many geniuses and powerful people in the upper realm, and they are not as easy to fool as the cultivators in the lower realm.
That's all.
But humans and demons have been incompatible since ancient times. No matter what his attitude towards humans is, once he walks into the territory of human monks and is discovered, it will be an exciting escape game.
This also led to his methods of hiding his identity becoming more and more sophisticated.
As long as he is not a big shot with status, ordinary monks will not be able to discover his identity.
He wanted to know what happened to Nan Xiao and whether she was dead or not.
He was definitely not worried about her.
After wandering in the upper realm for two years, he ran to the ascension point almost every time he had time.
He knew that if she were still alive, she would come to the upper world sooner or later.
Until more than a year ago, he guarded the sect disciples from the lower realm here.
They are several people from Lingshou Sect and Changning Sect.
Mingcheng tried to get close to them and get some information from them.
As a result, that bastard Chen Wenxuan chased him and hacked him for three months.
The reason was that his brother repeatedly kicked the restrictions of their sect, which was really hateful.
In his words, this is called paying brother's debt.
There was no other way but to use some special tricks to find out the information I wanted to know.
As long as the person is not dead, what does the rest have to do with him?
As for the uncomfortable feelings in his heart, Mingcheng chose to ignore them.
And he had no time to deal with these things. After waking up, Chen Wenxuan was even more like a mad dog.
The kind that draws its sword the moment it sees him.
He said that none of the human race is a good person.
From then on, Mingcheng rarely went to the human territory, nor did he pay attention to her news, and spent more time on cultivation.
Sometimes fate is just so coincidental.
When you specifically try to find out about someone, it is extremely difficult and you can't find any trace of them at all.
But when you finally let go of your obsession, no longer pay attention to it, and are even about to forget it, you may meet it at some unexpected corner.
"Mingcheng?"
Mingcheng wanted to pretend that he didn't know her and was about to leave, but when he caught a glimpse of the girl's somewhat familiar eyes, he suddenly stopped.
After calming down, the corners of his mouth raised casually: "Brother, what a coincidence."
Nan Xiao: "It's quite a coincidence."
Mingcheng glanced behind her and asked, "Alone?"
"Um."
Normally, there would be two of them, but today Lu Huai happened to be captured by the eldest brother to do hard labor, so she came out alone.
"Brother, where are you going? I'll accompany you."
The alienation between Mingcheng's eyebrows and eyes quietly melted away a little, and even he didn't notice it, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Let's go to the medicine pavilion." Nan Xiao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Seeing you were in such a hurry just now, I guess you must have something to do. Forget about going together. I can go by myself."
She seemed to have thought of something, paused, and added, "I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Looking at her receding figure, Ming Cheng hesitated for a moment and then chased after her: "What do I have to do? I'm just an idler."
"It's perfect. You're treating me to a meal. It's a rare occasion. I have time today. How about today?"
Nan Xiao paused, "Then let's do it today."
Nan Xiao bought what she needed and took Mingcheng to a restaurant that was doing good business.
The two of them asked for a private room on the second floor. By opening the window, they could clearly see the crowd on the street outside.
"Have a seat." Nan Xiao sat down by the window first, tapping the table with his fingertips. "What would you like to eat? I heard the bamboo shoots and chicken soup here is quite good. They use bamboo chickens raised in the morning dew in the mountains behind us."
Eating it is also beneficial to the cultivation of monks.
"I'm fine with either, depending on what you like."
"Okay." Nan Xiao didn't force it, because many cultivators really had low appetites.
She really likes to eat it anyway.
Nan Xiao ordered some of the restaurant's signature dishes.
The food was served very quickly and the table was full in no time.
Just as Nan Xiao thought, Mingcheng didn't eat much. He only took a bite of each dish with his chopsticks and didn't touch it again. Instead, Nan Xiao ate more happily.
Mingcheng looked out the window, but his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Nan Xiao.
The way she fiddled with the teacup with her fingertips, her eyelashes when she raised her eyes, and even the frequency of her breathing were all as clear as if they were engraved before my eyes.
I can’t explain why, I just can’t take my eyes off it.
Nan Xiao touched his face suspiciously, "Is there something on my face?"
"No."
Nan chuckled twice and gave him a speechless look, letting him figure it out for himself.
Seeing her like this, Mingcheng suddenly remembered that when he first met her, she also looked like a smug and arrogant person, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Nan Xiao stopped what he was doing and said seriously, "I still have some medicine for my brain. Do you want some more?"
What was left for Third Brother cannot be wasted.
Mingcheng stopped smiling immediately.
He said unhappily, "Keep it for yourself."
Nan Xiao restrained his joking expression and said seriously, "This time I just wanted to say thank you to you."
"What's the meaning?"
Nan Xiao opened her palm and the Sunset Mysterious Bow appeared in her hand.
"This bow is from the same source as the one you lent me before. I've seen it before. The top-grade fire source crystal on the bow was inlaid later. The technique is exactly the same as yours."
"Although I don't know how you managed to get the Sunset Mysterious Bow into Qihua Island, I use it very easily."
"So thank you."
Mingcheng stared at the bow in silence for a moment, "I didn't send it in."
Even if he didn't say the rest, they could guess who it was.
The only one who has such great ability and the conditions to commit the crime is the Demon Lord.
"However, I did intend to give this bow to you."
He thought he would never be able to send it out in his lifetime, but he didn't expect his brother to help him send it out.
Nan smiled and said, "So I didn't make a mistake in treating you to this meal."
Mingcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone carrying a subtle hint of sarcasm: "My bow is hard to find in the world, and you think you can get rid of me with just a meal?"
"What do you want, young master? Tell me about it."
Mingcheng looked at her, and at this moment, his heart was beating uncontrollably fast.
"If, I mean if..."
Nan Xiao didn't interrupt him.
"I want you to come back to the Demon Realm with me, what do you think?"
Nan Xiao asked back: "Do you think it's possible?"
Mingcheng pulled up the corners of his mouth, a smile appeared on his face, but it didn't see into his eyes. There was still a hint of melancholy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something insignificant: "I already said it's an if, don't you know me?"
The two of them were silent. Mingcheng prepared himself mentally for a long time and finally mustered up the courage.
"Nan Xiao..."
"Um?"
Seeing how serious he was, Nan Xiao restrained her previous casualness, put down the teacup in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and listened attentively.
After waiting for a while...
No further information.
At this time, Nan Xiao's spiritual jade lit up.
Nan Xiao finished reading the message, stood up and said, "I've settled the bill. It's getting late today, so I'll go back first. We can talk next time if you have anything to say, or Lingyu can send me a message."
Nan Xiao left.
Mingcheng stood in front of the window, his eyes following Nan Xiao's back.
She walked briskly, and when she reached the corner of the street, she smiled and threw herself into the arms of a young man.
He had seen that young man before; he was her junior fellow apprentice.
I don't know what they said, but she was smiling happily. The boy looked down at her, rubbed the top of her head, and his eyes were filled with doting.
The boy is handsome and upright, the girl is lively and bright, and when they stand together they are a picture made in heaven.
Mingcheng felt a little irritated.
The wind outside the window rushed in with the noise of the city, but Mingcheng's fingers holding the windowsill tightened little by little, and his eyes, which had just reflected her figure, were slowly covered with a layer of light mist.
In the end, it all turned into a self-deprecating smile.
He was one step too late again.
Maybe, more than one step.
