December 15, 2020December 31, 2020By koffeam
Surrounded by trusted temporary comrades, ng Qi closed her eyes in ease and let her consciousness faded away.
However…
Chu Tianfeng was stunned!
He looked down at his empty arms. Just now, when ng Qi collapsed, he was the closest to her. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold her falling body, and his hands already touched her blue robe. ng Qi even said, “Thank you,” to him.
But in the next mont, the girl’s right hand smacked his chest and pushed him back a few steps away. The smack was not particularly strong, nor did it had attacking intent, but her movent was so fast and abrupt that Chu Tianfeng was caught off guard. The black-robed youth stood dumbfounded. After being pushed away, his hands still maintained the sa holding posture.
Chu Tianfeng stared in a daze.
“ng Qiqi.” ng Qi had fallen into Sikong Xing’s arms. The red fox girl didn’t think much and cautiously helped ng Qi to lean on her.
ng Qi wasn’t particularly short among female cultivators. But she was thin and slender, just like a seventeen or eighteen years old girl. Sikong Xing was slightly taller than ng Qi. She stretched out her hand around ng Qi’s waist and let her head rest on her shoulders.
“She fainted.” Sikong Xing put a finger under ng Qi’s nose and said: “Her breath is steady.”
Chu Tianfeng: “…”
When she fainted, why did she refuse to fell into his arms?
Did she instinctively reject his touch?
Chu Tianfeng suddenly felt uncomfortable and slowly walked back in silence.
“She must be fainted due to the severe overdraft of spiritual aura.” Su Junmo said solemnly. “Let’s go back to Huajiang Manor first.” He looked at the fainted ng Qi inside Sikong Xing’s arms. His gaze was sowhat complicated: “Sikong Xing, I’m leaving her at your care.”
“No problem!” Hearing Su Junmo’s diagnosis, Sikong Xing was relieved. It was no problem for her to lift ng Qi alone. After all, Sikong Xing was a fourth-rank demon cultivator. Although she looked like a slender young woman, her strength wasn’t low.
Sikong Xing put her right hand around ng Qi’s shoulder and her left hand below ng Qi’s knees, then hugged her horizontally. “ng Qi is so amazing!” Sikong Xing looked at ng Qi admiringly. The girl’s beautiful face was so pale. Her long eyelashes drooped and cast a shadow on her white cheeks. She clearly looked so weak and thin, so why was she so powerful?!
Sikong Xing’s eyes bead with longing and admiration: “She is really amazing! I’ve decided, I will stay with ng Qi from now on. I like a girl like her the most!”
Su Junmo: “…”
Chu Tianfeng: “…”
Qin Xiumo: “…”
Inside the beast house in ng Qi’s storage space, Xiao Qi’s ears suddenly perked. The little white tiger laid weakly on the bamboo bed, as if all his strength had been overdrawn severely. He raised his head. His bright azure eyes were dimr than before. Blood still slowly oozed from his wound, dirtying the injured front paw that was ticulously treated by ng Qi every day, even staining the soft white cloth ng Qi used to bandage his wound. His white fur, which originally was so clean and fluffy, lost its luster.
Xiao Qi’s tiny ears trembled slightly. He finally managed to suppress the dark energy that had been swallowing his spiritual aura. But at this mont, as if noticing his weakened state, the energy began to counterattack fiercely.
Xiao Qi’s body trembled slightly, and he had to lay down again. Sikong Xing still said sothing more, but Xiao Qi seed to not hear it and showed no response.
…
At the sa ti, outside Huajiang Manor’s city, inside the forest at so distance from ng Qi’s group.
Lu Qingran followed behind the black-clothed man cautiously. From ti to ti, she raised her head to look at the tall figure walking in front. The two of them had been combing this area for a long ti without a result. At this rate, who knew when they would be able to hunt down the demon cultivators and paid off the debt.
Rembering the scene when she was pressed to pay back the debt that day, Lu Qingran’s eyes beca hot. She had been pampered since she was a child and never received such a grievance before. It was as if….the people from the Cultivator Alliance was looking at her like a rascal who ran away from her debt.
Lu Qingran wanted to cry.
“Heh! It turns out that the strongest are fourth-rank demon cultivators.” The black-robed man still wore a gauze hat that covered his face. He stopped under a tree and touched the traces on its trunk with his finger: “Indeed, it’s enough to make those people feel a danger, tsk tsk…”
Lu Qingran glanced at him secretly. She bit her lower lip lightly and tried to speak. But rembering the man’s temper, she finally kept her mouth shut.
“If you have sothing to say…” The man glanced back at her. His voice was cold. “Just say it.”
“We obviously t two third-rank demon cultivators on the way. Why didn’t you catch them to exchange for spirit stones?” After mustering so courage, Lu Qingran finally asked.
“A group of third and fourth rank demon cultivators still need to hunt them one by one?” The man turned around casually. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Seeing Lu Qingran biting her lip with an aggrieved face, he finally said: “I will gather them in one place and solve it at once. After this matter is resolved…” His voice suddenly beca dangerously cold: “I will let that woman nad ng Qi pay the price for making suffer such a great sha.”
…
ng Qi fell into a long, long dream. In the dream, she returned to the period when she was with her master, back to her most carefree days.
Master was her teacher, friend, and companion. ng Qi really enjoyed the ti they spent together. Although short, she felt that it was the longest period in her life. However, happy days went so fast and in a blink of an eye, it was the ti of separation.
The man in the white robe turned around and walked away. His voice ca from afar: “Three months later, I will co back here to pick you up. Don’t make wait.”
“Also, don’t call Master!”
