Early in the morning, Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan carried buckets to the pumping point to fetch water.
A tall, cheerful young soldier was waiting there early, and when he saw Gao Yan coming, he eagerly stepped forward to help.
Gao Yan politely and distantly rejected him.
This person Chu Qianxun knows, looks like Zhou Zheng, and is of the same rank. He is also the deputy head of a small mercenary group. He has a kind personality and has never had any style problems.
The young man has been coming for several days, and he still hasn't won the favor of the goddess in his heart today, and he went back with a frustrated look on his face.
Gao Yan is a woman who is very popular with men, but there are not many men who can be attracted to her.
"The conditions look good, but you don't like it?" Chu Qianxun looked at the back of the person who was leaving in despair, and touched Gao Yan's arm.
"What's the use of good conditions, I feel a little less about him."
"How do you feel?"
"When you and Lin Fei were together, what were you thinking about?" Gao Yanyi squinted at Chu Qianxun, "Did you want to drive us all away and just keep the two of him in the room all the time without getting tired of it? together?"
"Where?" Chu Qianxun smiled.
"It's nothing, love, love, and without desire, there is no love." With the improvement of her ability, Gao Yan, who is fully autonomous in life, becomes more and more free and easy, "Since we can live without relying on men , why do you feel wronged, naturally you have to pick a man who can make you tempted in that respect."
Chu Qianxun said hehe.
Gao Yan teased her: "It's usually the one from your family who gets up early to fetch water. Why are you so self-conscious today? Did you bully people again last night?"
Even with a thick-skinned face, Chu Qianxun couldn't help turning red when he remembered the lively colors of last night.
Gao Yan approached her and teased in a low voice: "Lin Fei is so soft-hearted, don't go too far. I can hear the voice."
Chu Qianxun covered his face, and for some reason, the man didn't do anything, but the corners of his eyes were wet and he lay there with a slight panting, and he was able to lift up the deepest ambition in his heart.
Like a fire, she couldn't hold it back, but it was too much in the end.
In the dim room, Ye Peitian sat up on the bed, the sky was only slightly bright, and the people around him had already left.
A cup of hot tea brewed on the table is slightly exuding moist moisture in the morning light, chrysanthemums that have been soaked in hot water are blooming in the glass cup, decorated with a few bright red wolfberries.
Ye Peitian lifted the quilt and stood up, took a sip from the warm cup, and put a little rock sugar in the chrysanthemum tea, with a hint of sweetness, which was his favorite flavor.
There was half a cake that was too late to eat last night, and a small piece of paper was pressed under the cake plate.
"Wake up and have a good breakfast, I'll go get some water."
A heart is drawn in the signature on the note.
Ye Peitian held the water glass and looked at the words filled with happiness, his thoughts drifted back to those dark years.
In the empty castle, a lonely figure; under the barren moonlit night, the murderous devil; in the cold laboratory, the fish that is slaughtered...
Once upon a time, he began to live the life he is today and got such happiness.
Tea is sweet, cake is sweet, life is so sweet, softening the pain of the past, soothing his wounds.
The giggling voices of the girls who came back from fetching water came from outside the window. Ye Peitian pushed open the window and stuck his head out, just when he saw the man looking up, the familiar face immediately laughed when he saw him, laughing like that Cheerfully, he waved to himself happily.
It was the love of his heart, the light that led him back to the world. For this smile, he felt that his body was full of strength, and he had the courage to face any difficulties and obstacles in this world.
in a primeval forest.
The tall tree canopy obscures the sky and the sun, and thick ancient vines are coiled around. Amidst the damp and lush vegetation, stood abruptly a castle built with various dark volcanic rocks.
Fu Huaiyu only brought a companion, carefully touched the gate of the castle, and walked into a hall with a high dome and beautiful decoration.
The pillars and walls of the hall are inlaid with a variety of gorgeous gems, amethysts, and emeralds reflecting the colorful luster, intertwined in the dim space, revealing a kind of quaint beauty.
"Humans, how rare, are they automatically delivered to our door to be our food?"
A unique magnetic voice resounded in the empty hall, and a huge and pale body climbed down the wall above the fireplace. Its body is made up of white matter entangled with dead branches, trees and vines, but its head has the face of an extremely handsome human man, with three-dimensional features, deep eyes, and long silver hair that is softly scattered.
When he opened his mouth to speak, his eyes were so gentle, like a most considerate lover, but his white-gray arms stretched at a speed that was difficult to grasp with the naked eye, and instantly penetrated another saint who came in with Fu Huaiyu. heart. When it was retracted, there was already a bloody mass on the pointed and long fingers.
The pale lips of the monster were differentiated, and they swallowed their own food with satisfaction, and the tip of the tongue licked back and forth on the red fingers.
Even a high-level saint like Fu Huaiyu, facing such a scene and the invisible coercion of this high-level monster, felt an instinctive fear in his heart.
"No, don't kill me." Fu Huaiyu found that her voice was trembling, she held up the airtight jar in her hand and opened the lid, "I came here on purpose to dedicate this to you."
The monster climbing on the wall slowly stretched out its dead branch-like arm, inserted its sharp and long fingers into the jar in Fu Huaiyu's hand, dipped the unknown substance in it, and put it into his mouth to taste.
"Oh?" He sighed with contentment. "Nectar-like delicacy. This is the flesh and blood that can give me great power? It is rare to come to a rare immortal, and to be so high-level."
The strange demon body several meters high on the wall disappeared, and what appeared in front of Fu Huaiyu was a handsome young man in a complicated dress.
"Beautiful lady, please tell me the source of this nectar." He seemed to be imitating human speech, and even bowed politely.
It's just that the tone and action have a discordant abruptness, which should be said to be closer to the characters described in the books, rather than the real people.
"I... I know where he is, and I can take you to the base where he is." Fu Huaiyu said cautiously.
"Thank you very much, my lady. May I ask what your purpose is?"
"His flesh and blood are inexhaustible, I... I hope that after you catch him, you can share him with us, even if only part of it."
The human-shaped monster seemed to have heard something interesting, touched his long silver hair, bent down and laughed happily.
"Hehehe, it's really an interesting creature. In order to achieve his own goals, he will deal with his own compatriots. He would not hesitate to unite with a race like me that feeds on you." He straightened his sleeves and walked out, "Let me lead the way, I I'd really like to see more of what interesting performances you humans can make."
Near Spring City, Jiang Xiaojie returned with his direct team to hunt demons.
A huge knife light several meters high flashed through the abandoned building, and the low roar of the monster resounded.
"What about the seventh-order monster, boss, do you want to go and see?"
The players are very interested. Even for a strong team like them, challenging a seventh-order monster can be regarded as a very attractive battle. After all, except for Jiang Xiaojie, the only eighth-order master in the city, everyone else was eagerly looking forward to using seventh-order demons to raise their ranks, inlay weapons, and improve their equipment.
They lurk to a polite distance where they can see the battlefield without getting too close. Only then did I realize that it was only a two-person team dealing with this monster. And one of the team members just watched the battle with a weapon on one side, playing the role of vigilance and forerunner. There is only a sixth-order wind-type saint who really fights the monster to the death.
"Qian... Sister Qianxun? Isn't that Sister Qianxun?"
"Oh my god, my sister Chu is really good. It's a one-on-one duel."
"Brother Lin is really willing to just stand and watch. If I hadn't seen his skills, I would have thought he was a soft eater."
"Did you find it? Sister Qianxun's equipment is very good, and the seventh-order monsters can't break her armor, and I don't know who she was looking for?"
Just when the members of Blizzard were still discussing whether they needed to come forward for help, the vigorous battle had come to an end.
Chu Qianxun was panting heavily, and with his blood dripping arm, he reluctantly took out his own Demon Seed.
The improvement and stability of his state of mind, and the frequent high-intensity battles made Chu Qianxun's powers improve steadily and rapidly. In just half a year, he had gone from the original fourth-order to the current state that was close to the sixth-order critical state.
Ye Peitian walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist, and gave her a deep kiss without hesitation.
It was not until the members of Blizzard in the distance whistled that he let go of Chu Qianxun with a little shyness. During this period of time in the wild, especially when strangers appeared nearby, he did not want Chu Qianxun to be injured. Even if he was ashamed, he wanted to use his special ability to heal Chihiro in time.
"It's too soon to learn." Chu Qianxun quietly pinched his waist, holding Ye Peitian's hand to greet Jiang Xiaojie and the others who came forward.
Although Jiang Xiaojie was no longer the little boy she remembered, every time Chu Qianxun saw him, he still felt very kind. Her natural intimacy also made Jiang Xiaojie very happy.
The two teams of people who have gained something from each walked together on the way back to the city. The atmosphere was harmonious and the conversation was very pleasant.
Jiang Xiaojie crossed Chu Qianxun, who was teasing with Yu Nian, and saw the back of the man walking in front of them.
This man named Lin Fei has few words and few movements, and he is not very conspicuous like a shadow. Until this moment, when Jiang Xiaojie looked at his back, there was a sudden thud in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose up.
He blinked, not quite believing the thought that came up in his heart, but the back in front of him was more and more overlapping with the figure in his memory.
"Can't you?" Jiang Xiaojie rolled this thought back and forth in his mind several times, but he still couldn't finalize it. "Sister Qianxun's man, who could be that person?"
Just then, a dark-grey curl rolled up on the distant horizon.
The dense fog filled the sky, and the billowing smoke and dust quickly approached the Spring City Fortress.
"Something happened. Go back to the city immediately!" Jiang Xiaojie put down his doubts and gave an order. The players picked up their speed, swooped down the hillside, and ran towards their homes.
