Gao Yan looked at Chu Qianxun lying on the bed, her half-length hair was stuck to her face with sweat, and she curled up into a ball because of the pain.
In Gao Yan's memory, Chu Qianxun had a cold temper and acted resolutely, giving people a tough and strong impression.
At this moment, she discovered that the friend lying on the bed was not too tall, and her limbs even had a slenderness unique to a girl.
Just like herself, she is a soft and fragile woman in her essence. It is only because she lives in such a chaotic world that she has to put layers of hard shells on herself, so that she can stand in the wind and sand, sharing the benefits of those monsters. Claws against each other.
Gao Yan couldn't help recalling before the arrival of the Demon Seed. At that time, she had many friends and her personality was milder than today. As the demons descended from the sky, man-eating monsters ran rampant in the world. Those friends died, demonized, separated, betrayed.
How many died in the mouth of the monsters, and how many people's heads were cut off by her own hands? She can't remember. The deeper their feelings for each other, the more pain they suffer when parting from life and death. So she gradually learned to reject people thousands of miles away.
On Chu Qianxun's fair neck, terrifying green lines floated up, and the green lines like blood vessels bulged and pulsated under the skin, intertwined and spread toward the cheeks.
The shoulder blades on her back even gave birth to a butterfly-like membrane, and the transparent membrane drilled out from the collar, trembling wetly in the air, ready to unfold, it would be a pair of huge wings.
This is a symbol of the beginning of demonization. If he can't stand it, the friend who was laughing and chatting with him a moment ago on the bed will completely turn into a man-eating monster.
Gao Yan reached out to hold the hilt of her sword, and found that her palms were so sweaty that she couldn't even hold the hilt.
She frantically wiped her palms on her clothes, feeling like she was about to cry.
She had been alone for too long, and this was her only friend, a friend she had made with great difficulty.
Gao Yan pulled out the long sword in her hand. Her sword was thin and long, glowing with blue light, and the sharp blue blade rested on Chu Qianxun's neck.
"Chu Qianxun, wake me up, or my mother will cut your head off!" Her vision was blurred by something that didn't know whether it was tears or sweat, Gao Yan wiped her face, "Did you hear me? , dead woman! I wake you up!"
Her pale neck was motionless under the blade of her blade.
fair
Gao Yan wiped her eyes, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the green veins entrenched in Chu Qianxun's neck had begun to subside, and the film that bulged out of her back began to shrink in wrinkles.
Chu Qianxun opened his eyes and glanced at her, "Noisy... so noisy."
Gao Yan hugged Chu Qianxun who was barely getting up, "Dead woman, I knew you could pass this level."
Chu Qianxun's chin rested on Gao Yan's shoulder. Her five senses and consciousness were very clear and sharp, but her body was still a little weak.
"Sister Yan, are you crying?"
"Nonsense, you think beautifully. Who would cry for such a little thing, without you, I have many more friends."
"It's really good to have friends, it's really boring to be alone." Chu Qianxun closed his eyes, "I seem to hear you crying, and you and... another person crying. I really don't want to. I saw you crying, so I woke up."
The news that Chu Qianxun had risen to the fifth rank quickly spread in the Tongzilou.
After all, in such a small building, the fifth-order can already be regarded as a slightly card-like existence.
In Spring City, most of the ordinary people or those low-level and useless auxiliary saints lived together in a messy and disorderly area like Black Street, with poor living conditions.
And a large number of middle and low-level warriors like Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan are much better than those people. According to their respective abilities, they have the opportunity to be allocated a small independent space in such a brick-concrete building. .
Most of the people living in this bungalow are middle- and low-level saints of the third to fifth ranks. Although there is not much difference in the level of everyone. But as we all know, the fourth-order is a difficult hurdle to overcome, and being able to rise to the fifth-order means that this person may have infinite possibilities in the future. It's always right to make more friends at this time.
Therefore, in the past two days, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar, it can be regarded as a few people who congratulate or are close to each other. Even the stingy mad woman living downstairs came up with a small bag of biscuits in hand and sat down symbolically.
"Qianxun, if you become prosperous in the future, don't forget us sisters who have survived together." The freckled mad woman unilaterally upgraded Chu Qianxun to the status of a sister, and only half of the small bag was The slap-sized, expired cookies were left on the table.
In contrast, the gifts that Lin Sheng brought were much more generous. If the former power saint had a somewhat subtle attitude towards Chu Qianxun, now I learned that Chu Qianxun was also upgraded to the fifth rank. , he has been unable to restrain himself to show a bright pursuit of meaning.
Lin Sheng was born into a poor family in the countryside. In the golden age, because of his lack of cultural knowledge, he could only live by selling manual labor on construction sites in the city.
He is strong, tall, and works very diligently. He has the first-class salary in the construction team, and his income is not much worse than those of the white-collar workers sitting in the office. But he always harbored a sense of inferiority in his heart, feeling that he was out of tune with this bustling city. Every day when he came down from the construction site, he was huddled on the bus in a dusty suit, and the well-dressed city people around him always looked at him with contempt and disgust, which made him feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, the Demon Seed suddenly came, and those high-ranking city people suddenly fell from the clouds together, rolling in the dust like him, and everyone was disheartened. The English and computers they know will no longer work in this world. He could only adapt at a loss in an unfamiliar environment like he did at the beginning. Instead, a man like Lin Sheng, who has strength and a lot of skills, is very popular in this era.
He also got the power of the power system, and the beautiful girls in the city who were disdainful of him in the golden age also surrounded him and shouted, letting go of their aloof appearances and treating him with disdain. In every way please.
Lin Sheng felt very satisfied, he didn't even want to go back to the past like others.
Of course, although in the past these girls were objects that he didn't even dare to think about, but now he is very different, so naturally he has to choose carefully.
Sometimes people are like this, they don't like what they deliver to their door, but they feel more itchy when they don't get it. Downstairs, Xiaojuan, who is handsome and in good shape, has quietly touched her room countless times in the middle of the night. But Lin Sheng couldn't let go of Chu Qianxun, who was in the same team and ignored him.
Maybe it was because Chu Qianxun was a female college student, and she had the taste of an intellectual that he could not ask for. In his heart, he always felt that it would be the most enjoyable thing to let such a woman be his wife.
What's more, Qianxun is now a fifth-order saint, and he earns no less than himself. Marrying her will not only be able to serve himself, but also bring more than half of the family's income. Lin Sheng decided to take this woman down.
To this end, he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to buy a bag of white noodles and leeks, and wrapped a plate of dumplings by himself. Although it is not very good to sell like, but these days, white noodles and vegetables are rare, and ordinary people may not be able to eat them during the New Year. What's more, a big man like him cooks things by himself, which woman can't be moved to death
Lin Sheng brought this kind of food, and he thought he was sure of Chu Qianxun, and looking at Chu Qianxun's eyes was so hot that he almost didn't need to hide it.
Chu Qianxun felt a little overwhelmed when she saw Lin Sheng's enthusiastic appearance.
Lin Sheng was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. On the surface, he seemed to have the simplicity and honesty unique to rural people. He was also a saint of the fifth-order power system. I don't have any special affection for him, and I have clearly expressed my rejection more than once.
But this man doesn't seem to understand the face that others have left him, instead, he has been stalking him these days.
Chu Qianxun didn't plan to leave any room for him, she reached out to block the door, and didn't even let the enthusiastic Lin Sheng enter the room.
"Brother Lin," Chu Qianxun said, "for no reason, how can I pick up your precious food. I'll take it back with you, so let's eat it with Sister Xiaojuan or someone else."
"Qianxun, don't be so polite, why is this for no reason, I'm really happy for you." Lin Sheng also rushed inside with great interest.
Chu Qianxun didn't move the hand holding the door frame, and his face was already down.
Only then did Lin Sheng understand that Chu Qianxun was really rejecting him, not the shy or hard-to-get tactics of the girls he thought.
"Qianxun, what do you mean?" Lin Sheng was anxious, "Have you heard some gossip, Xiaojuan and I have nothing to do with it, I'm just..."
"Lin Sheng, I think I've made it very clear." Chu Qianxun made it clear, "I don't care about you. As for who you are interested in, that has nothing to do with me."
Lin Sheng's entire face flushed red in an instant. He was holding the pot of dumplings, neither going in nor going back.
There were mixed voices around, and it seemed that someone was still laughing. Hearing it in his ears, he felt that people in the entire corridor were pointing at him and watching his jokes. The respected days of the past few years have disappeared at this moment, and he seems to have returned to the era when he was despised by others before the advent of the Demon Seed.
Lin Sheng's skin was very tanned, with a small flat head and big white teeth. When he smiled, he had a simple and honest appearance, but when he lowered his face, the oily skin trembled, revealing something deep in his heart. hostile.
He suddenly grabbed Chu Qianxun's wrist, pushed Chu Qianxun into the room, and slammed the door behind him.
Lin Sheng is a Saint of Strength, and he knows that this woman is far inferior to him in strength.
"Biaozi, if you don't care about me, why do you always talk to me with a smile on weekdays, to catch my father's appetite, and then I want to pretend to be arrogant and play with him."
There are many people quietly watching this lively inside and outside the tube building. Some people shook their heads and closed the door, while others pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on in the house.
"I still let this kid Lin Sheng go in. It seems that this kid is very lucky today."
"Women, they all have to dress up."
"If you want to beat a woman, if you slap it twice, you will only cry if you are obedient."
Several wretched men stared at the thin wooden door and talked. They even recalled the scene inside the door.
With a loud bang, the door was swept open by a huge airflow, and the shattered wood chips and the sticky dumplings hit the men.
Lin Sheng stepped back and stepped out of the room with a livid face. Several blood openings were cut on his forehead and arm, and the thin blood smeared half of his face.
Chu Qianxun stood at the open door, holding a knife in one hand and a thin wind blade in the other.
At the fourth level, her understanding of the wind has always been to manipulate as much wind pressure as possible to attack the enemy. After breaking through the fourth level, she suddenly had a deeper understanding of the air flow, and she began to be able to grasp the air flow more accurately, compressing the air in a small area to the extreme, so as to form countless small and flexible air at the same time. The wind blade makes the enemy hard to guard.
Lin Sheng, who had learned this trick for the first time, was unprepared and immediately suffered a loss.
"It's rare for me to rise to the fifth rank. Since Brother Lin wants to practice with me, then we will practice here."
Chu Qianxun's voice was very flat, but Lin Sheng knew that her killing intent was not light. As long as he made a move, this woman who made a move on him might actually cut off his head.
When men and women have a huge disparity in physical strength, men often appear strong, domineering, or fearless in front of women.
But in the case of comparable abilities, these people may not be as brave as women to be as brave as they think they are.
The few men who had just been discussing women's refusal to fight, covered their swollen heads, and indented into their room without saying a word.
Lin Sheng's face turned blue and white. In the end, he still didn't have the courage to fight with Chu Qianxun. He had to endure his anger and left.
When Gao Yan heard about this and came back, Chu Qianxun had already found a new door panel to install his own door.
"Since you've had a quarrel with Lin Sheng, you have to be careful with your fieldwork tomorrow. After all, from a team, you're worried that this villain will trip you up behind your back." Gao Yan helped Chu Qianxun hold the door panel.
"Got it." Chu Qianxun installed the screws without raising his head.
