The moment these black boots appeared in his sight, Ji Ning felt a cold and dreary aura, unpredictable, like an abyss, which made him tremble instinctively, unable to control his body shrinking into a ball of hair, hugging The tail shivered.
Is it time for Qianqiu to come...
He didn't dare to look up at the person standing in front of him at all, and he couldn't identify whether the person who came was Ying Qianqiu, because now Ying Qianqiu has become too much, and he is no longer the boy he was familiar with.
"Hey, there's still someone alive here?"
Suddenly, a charming female voice sounded in the cave, and then Ji Ning felt her body lighten suddenly, being pulled up by the hair on the back of her neck, and a beautiful and charming face came into his sight.
The one who picked up Ji Ning was a stunning girl with a pair of furry beast ears on top of her head. Her enchanting figure was wrapped in a black gauze skirt, revealing a snow-white waist. Her feet were naked, and she did not step on the ground, but was slightly separated from the ground. , the whole person floats in the air.
The fluffy tail behind her fluttered around as if she was in a good mood. She held Ji Ning, who had turned into a cub in her hand, and looked at him curiously. Following her movements, the silver bell tied around her wrist made a crisp sound.
This bell and animal ears... Could she be a cloud
Seeing this string of slightly outdated silver bells, Ji Ning opened her eyes subconsciously and let out a "woohoo", but in the eyes of the girl, it was the little cub that was so frightened that she even stunned. The hair on the tail exploded.
"After the blood sacrifice, you haven't been drained of your life. You little guy, you are very lucky."
The girl pointed the tip of the cub's nose, held him up in front of the silver-haired man with both hands, and said with a smile, "Qianqiu, since this snow beast cub is not dead, it's still a species close to me, so let me keep it. He, are you okay?"
The silver-haired young man in dark clothes was standing beside her, his eyes were as cold as ice that had not melted for a long time. Hearing that his expression had not changed, he turned and walked straight into the depths of the cave, his voice was cold: " what ever."
"Great!"
The girl smiled, the beast's ears trembled for a while, and excitedly threw the cub into the air and received it in her hand, frightening the cub, and then said with a smile in the language of the beast.
"Qianqiu agreed with me to raise you. If you want to listen to your elder sister in the future, she will feed you the transformation pill, and you can become just like your elder sister, you know?"
A little thing like Yun Duo, even if it becomes a human being, can still be so tossed...
Ji Ning's soul was already weak, and after entering this cub's body, he was frightened by Ying Qianqiu's breath, and even more sullen and lacking in energy, he didn't have the strength to answer when he heard the words, he just shook his tail listlessly.
Not getting a warm response, the girl pouted unhappily, poked the cub's head and said, "My name is Yun Duo, what's your name? If you don't have a name, my sister will give you one, just like Aning gave you back then. I took the same name..."
Her voice suddenly dropped, Ji Ning looked up at her and saw the lonely look on her face, she couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her little paw and patted the back of her hand soothingly.
When he was still in this world, Yun Duo was a monster raised by him and Ying Qianqiu. At that time, Yun Duo was still a little cub, just like him now. For her, he and Ying Qianqiu were just like her. parent-like presence.
When he was smashed to ashes, this little guy didn't know how sad he would be...
"Okay, stop talking, I'll take you to see Aning."
The girl smiled, held the cub in her arms, followed Ying Qianqiu in front with light steps, and came to the altar in the depths of the cave.
The boy's body, which was created with all kinds of precious heaven and earth treasures, lay quietly in the center. The girl hugged the cub and followed Ying Qianqiu step by step. When she saw the familiar face, the tip of her nose was instantly. A sour.
No matter how many years have passed, as long as she thinks that the boy will never smile at her again, nor will she gently touch her head, her heart is so painful that it is torn apart.
She is still like this, let alone Qianqiu - since the death of Aning, it is she who has seen Qianqiu fall into the devil's way with her own eyes, from a calm and reserved boy in the past to the devil who now shakes the continent, even the people in the devil's door Terrified of him.
Everyone knows Ying Qianqiu's cruelty and ruthlessness. As long as he goes, he will set off a bloody storm. He has exterminated nine of the twelfth aristocratic clans in their glory and prosperity. Absolutely, like a blood sacrifice, for several days, the screams of Li Ming lingered endlessly, and the bones completely dyed the city blood red.
But only she knew that Qianqiu did all this for revenge, and then resurrected Aning—that was the 12th aristocratic family back then. In order to strengthen themselves, they joined forces to slaughter Aning's aristocratic clan, and Aning was crushed to ashes by them. , even the corpse can't keep half of it.
Only she knows that deep in Qianqiu's heart there is still a love that has never been annihilated.
Ying Qianqiu walked up to the altar, his dark clothes fluttered, and he sat in front of the boy's body, cut his wrists, and poured blood into the boy's slightly open lips.
The seductive girl stood aside, holding the cub in her arms, watching Ying Qianqiu's blood gurgling into it, but the boy's body seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how much blood it drew, it didn't respond.
Until the blood flow gradually diminished, the girl couldn't stand it anymore, rushed over to hold Ying Qianqiu's hand, and said sadly, "Don't try, Qianqiu, this time... we failed again."
Ying Qianqiu was silent, his bloodless hands were like ice and snow sculptures, blood beads dripped down his fingertips, smudged on the young man's wedding dress, showing a little dark color.
"It doesn't matter... There are three remaining members of the twelfth generation, and we still have a chance."
The girl pulled Ying Qianqiu's sleeve, sniffed, and said with red eyes, "A Ning will definitely come back... He won't leave us."
"… "
Ji Ning hugged her tail and shrunk her body into a smaller ball, trying to reduce her sense of existence, her heart was almost swallowed by a strong sense of guilt.
He did have the urge to tell them that he was here, but... When the misplaced world is repaired, he still has to move on to the next world, continue his endless mission, never see them again, and now give When their hopes are fulfilled, only the cruelest despair will remain.
So he can't make a sound, let alone let them recognize him.
Ying Qianqiu's pale fingers touched the severed wrist, and the wound healed in an instant, leaving only a faint red mark, but there was still a shocking feeling.
His expression was icy cold, like a ghost, and he looked down at the boy's body. After a long time, his pale lips opened slightly, and his voice was very soft, as if in a dream, he whispered.
“Little…”
tiny.
When Ning's close relatives called him like this, just because he was the youngest child in this line, everyone loved him and gave him such a nickname.
At first, Ying Qianqiu didn't dare to call Ji Ning this way—his family had been in decline for a long time, and although the marriage contract was still in place, it had long since existed.
He knows his identity, never asks for anything, and does not dare to violate the rules at all. Unlike him, Ji Ning was the pride of the entire clan. He was a once-in-a-hundred-year-old cultivator. He was in full bloom. When he first saw Ji Ning, Ying Qianqiu didn't even look up at his face.
"Why don't you look up? Are you so afraid of me?"
At that time, he stood still with his head bowed, but suddenly he heard the dissatisfied scolding of the young man, and then his jaw was lifted, and a fiery red color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The red-clothed young man was high-spirited, unrestrained, arrogant and arrogant. He squinted at him, his beautiful eyebrows were full of arrogance, but he just seemed right, he was born to be so dazzling.
Ying Qianqiu was still a young man at the time, and faced with his outstandingly handsome engagement partner, his heart was suddenly in a mess, and it was inevitable that he would be a little more shy, but on the surface, he still abide by the etiquette, bowed respectfully, and said.
"… dare not."
"You said you didn't dare, what did you dare? Do you dare not look at me, or are you afraid of me?"
Facing his prudence, the young man was even more angry, and left: "I'm so scary? The children of the side branch dare not get close to me, for fear of offending me, and now even you treat me like this..."
"no… "
Ying Qianqiu panicked when the young man turned and left. He grabbed the young man's sleeve without thinking, but was slightly startled, because he actually made such a rude move.
But who knew that the young man laughed instead of anger, turned around to look at Ying Qianqiu, and said with curved eyebrows.
"That's right. You don't have to be restrained in front of me, and you don't have to worry about being bullied. I will protect you."
Ying Qianqiu was stunned, and then heard the young man say again: "Everyone calls me 'Ning Langjun', only my family calls me 'Xiao Xiao', you can also call me Xiao Xiao."
…
Only now, the little man he called was no longer there.
The silver-haired man's eyes were cold and still, he stretched out his hands and hugged the boy's body from the altar. The girl followed him with the cub and walked out of the cave after a while.
Ji Ning was lying in the girl's arms and was able to see the sun again from the dark cave. He thought that his eyes would be very uncomfortable because of the sunlight, but he was about to close his eyes, but he found that the sky outside the cave was dark, surrounded by a faint light. Blood fog.
Ji Ning's eyes widened, he didn't expect him to see such a shocking scene at all - they were standing on the edge of a high mountain cliff, with a city under their feet, not seeing the prosperous scene, but filled with a strong sense of death, even the city walls. All were dyed blood red.
The bones in the cave are only a very small part. Even the entire mountain is covered with the bones and remains of humans and beasts. The trees are withered and their life is cut off.
Occasionally, there were still beasts still alive struggling to crawl out of the corpse pile and fled in panic. Ying Qianqiu and the girl did not stop them and let them go by themselves.
"It's time to find the next one..."
The girl looked at the devastated eyes in front of her and whispered softly.
At this moment, Ji Ning suddenly felt weak. He curled up and fell into a drowsiness uncontrollably. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had actually returned to the hotel room, and he had returned to Gu Chen's world again.
"woke up?"
Herinos, who was sitting next to him, smiled at him, and Ji Ning was stunned for a while, because his memory was still stuck in his drunkenness in the venue, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "I'm... ?"
"Last night you were drunk and you didn't wake up. I brought you back. Who would have thought that you would be asleep until noon the next day."
Herinos walked over and stroked Jining's hair, and said gently, "It seems that you have been working hard these days, but fortunately you can finally rest. I'll call you lunch, what would you like to eat?"
"… it's fine."
Ji Ning had just returned from another world. She didn't know what was going on right now. Her reaction was a little slow. She slowly got off the bed and said, "I'll go wash up first."
"it is good."
Ji Ning staggered into the bathroom. Having learned the lesson from Huo Wuling last time, he didn't dare to close the door this time, so he just opened the door and walked in.
He carefully looked at the mirror and made sure that there was nothing unusual, so he quickly washed his face. When he wiped his face, he suddenly heard a light beep, which meant that someone on his terminal had sent a message.
Ning raised his hand and glanced at the terminal, and found that it turned out to be a game advertisement. Usually, this kind of news will be filtered out intelligently, but maybe the company's backstage is very hard, and the advertisement was not blocked.
But Ji Ning didn't want to play any games, so he just clicked delete, but strangely, not only was this advertisement not deleted, but it opened on its own, revealing the information inside.
The terminal cast a holographic projection in the air, and beautiful swash characters appeared, showing the name of the game—
"Dark Kingdom Era".
This name... Isn't it the name of the western fantasy novel he once traveled through
Ji Ning's heart skipped a beat, and immediately clicked the close button on the terminal repeatedly, and even took off the terminal and forced it to shut down, but it was of no use, the projection was still playing in mid-air.
"This is an extremely prosperous and rich continent..."
"Innumerable beings thrive on the continent..."
"Devils, Celestials, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dragons, and Humans."
"The seven major races have their own territories and kingdoms, and live without interfering with each other. Until one day, the ambitious king of the demons launched an unprecedented bloody war, and the continent was plunged into the boundless flames of war."
"Countless lost lives created countless undead, and undead magic flourished for a while, and you, a magical apprentice with amazing talent, chose to become a necromancer during the war. Over the years, you have traversed the continent and established a splendid reputation."
"But the endless killing makes you uneasy. Although you are powerful, you don't know when you will die, so you have the idea of accepting disciples and want to find a disciple to inherit your mantle."
"So you took a fancy to him, this young knight from the Temple of Light, Lai."
Lines of text flashed quickly in the air, and finally a figure of a young man emerged.
The young man was dressed in a valiant white knight uniform, his short golden hair was neat and neat, and his blue eyes were like beautiful gems.
"He's the most magically gifted man you've ever met, even better than you."
"You secretly made up your mind to snatch him back from the temple, no matter what price you have to pay."
"This time, what will you choose to do?"
