Ning Ning felt that this system was outrageous.
Not only the original works given are full of running accounts, but usually there is no shadow. Until there is a task to be performed, it will pop out like a corpse and begin to exploit her poor working people.
The ugly face of capitalism is nothing more than that.
Looking at the original text given again, it really is a classic routine in the ancient texts. The vicious female supporting actress tempted the male protagonist to aggravate his demonic energy and become unconscious.
Then I will describe how the elders of other sects outside the Xuanjing were flustered and shocked. Even if Tian Xianzi tried to defend Pei Ji in every possible way, the effect was minimal.
In the end, the villain's conspiracy succeeded, and Pei Ji became notorious among the major sects. Although it was the original owner who provoked him first, because he injured his fellow senior sister, he still accepted the cruel punishment after the trial, and he couldn't even get out of bed for a while.
Ning Ning felt pain all over just looking at the words, not to mention letting Pei Ji experience it for himself, after thinking for a moment, his heart moved.
The system only said "disturb his mind", but never said "don't avoid Pei Ji's attack".
The one in the original book deliberately used a plan, so naturally she would intentionally hurt herself; and she didn't want Pei Ji to bear the infamy, so she only needed to retreat - after all, Ning Ning focused on self-cultivation and speed. not hurt.
In this way, the premise of "hurting fellow students" no longer exists. At that time, she will stand on Pei Ji's side and explain a few words, and things will not be too big.
Super perfect battle plan!
Ning Ning gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, took a light breath, and stepped forward into the water.
The water in the pool was so cold that it could fully submerge her waist and abdomen. The cold air under her abdomen was piercing to the bone. The swirling water waves swayed with her skirt, gently brushing her knees and ankles.
Ning Ning walked forward step by step in the water, just like in the original book, he tentatively called out: "Pei Ji?"
Pei Ji stood in front of the waterfall with her eyes closed. Her voice blended with the sound of the huge water, and it didn't sound clear.
Ning Ning wanted to scream again, but suddenly saw the demonic energy swaying around him, and immediately his long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The scene at this time was roughly described in the original book, only to say that the darkness was surging and the sullenness was very sinister. Now it was her turn to take a real look, and she finally felt some pain that Pei Ji never said.
His skin was originally abruptly cold and white, but now that the demonic energy collided recklessly in his body, causing unbearable pain, he lost all his blood and was extremely weak.
His forehead was soaked in cold sweat and mist, and strands of black hair were haphazardly attached to his temples. Against the extreme contrast of black and white, beauty was beautiful, but it seemed that it would shatter at the slightest touch.
Pei Ji didn't seem to have the strength left to open her eyes. When her eyelashes were tired and drooping, a heavy shadow fell. The shadow made her pupils pitch black, reminding her of the deep lake in the dark night.
In his eyes, in addition to pure black, there is also unbridled red that spreads and grows. Bloodshot filled almost the entire white of the eye. At first glance, it looked like the eyeball was stained with blood, exuding a beast-like aura of violence—
In other words, today's Pei Ji is not much different from the beast.
Depressed, violent, painful.
The overflowing demonic energy will not only collide with the sword energy, causing heart-piercing pain, but in severe cases, it will even disturb the mind, causing the host to attack others indiscriminately.
Unfortunately, Ning Ning was this "other person".
Pei Ji's eyes were a bit fierce. She was stared at and felt uncomfortable. She took a step forward and recited the lines in the original book step by step: "Why are you here alone?"
And he is just like the original, except that he opened his eyes earlier than the original plot, and did not respond.
Ning Ning had no choice but to suppress the nervousness in her heart and move on pretending to be calm.
The closer you get to Pei Ji, the more you can feel the chilly killing intent like a poisonous snake, wrapping around her invisibly. Those black mist-like demonic qi scattered like smoke and dust, intertwined with the waterfall behind him, and even the water vapor was a little dark.
In such an atmosphere, the girl's crisp voice was particularly abrupt: "Are you uncomfortable? Or... the devil has attacked again?"
"Magic?"
Lin Qian frowned slightly outside the mysterious mirror, and then remembered that this little apprentice under Tian Xianzi's sect had a special status and was a descendant of a demon cultivator.
In the battle of the immortals and demons, there were many victims of the various sects, so many elders had prejudice against the blood of the demon race, and some even boasted unabashedly that they would never accept the descendants of demons as disciples in this life.
Tian Xianzi pouted: "What's wrong with the demonic energy, is the demonic energy eating your rice?"
Lin Qian glared at him.
She has been with beasts all the year round, and doesn't care about blood matters, but...
Qu Feiqing, who was on the side, restrained her smile and said the unfinished words for her: "Pei Ji's demonic qi attacks, what should I do if I hurt Ning Ning? He—"
The word "he" stuck in the center of his throat, and only made a low breath. When Qu Feiqing said this, she stopped and stared into the profound mirror without blinking.
Ning Ning stepped forward a little bit, and stopped when he was only one person away from Pei Ji.
She called several times but got no response. Just as she was about to look up to see his situation, she saw the black-clothed boy in front of him suddenly wrinkle his brows.
- Immediately, he took a step forward without warning, startled the surging water and black mist, and before Ning Ning could react, he grabbed her arm.
Ning Ning was stunned.
This is not the plot in the original novel. According to the established plot, it should be clearly [the sword qi shatters, a head rushes towards the face of the comer, Ning Ning didn't expect him to kill directly, and hurried back a few steps]—
That's right!
She thought she knew Pei Ji's next move, so she focused all her attention on the surrounding aura, trying to avoid the sword breath when it erupted.
... But why would he start directly
She didn't have much defense, and Pei Ji didn't use too much strength. She took advantage of the situation and forced Ning Ning to move closer to him, almost hitting his chest.
If this is a romantic love story book, then the next episode is likely to be "kiss on the wall" or confession by pinching the waist.
It's a pity that Ning Ning didn't have that fate. When the two were close to each other, Pei Ji grabbed her neck.
… Fine.
Pei Ji didn't exert much force, and her knuckles were cold, like black iron covering her skin. A pair of eyes are cloudy and unclear, like stagnant water wrapped in mud, and when they stare at her like this, it is a bit creepy.
Ning Ning held her breath and secretly held the Star Mark Sword at her waist.
When the demonic energy is overflowing, the mind is the most unstable. Once affected, it is easy to kill.
The demonic energy that lingered around her became heavier and heavier, and the system in her head lost its voice. She knew that Pei Ji had been disturbed and the task was successfully completed. The next thing to do was to escape from his hands unscathed.
Ning Ning made up his mind, and was about to raise his hand to grab his wrist, but saw Pei Ji look in a trance, and seemed to be stunned for a moment.
The right hand gripping her neck also loosened.
If everything that has happened so far is still within the framework of the original plot, then the next scene will openly tear the original to shreds and completely deviate from the established plot.
Ning Ning saw his expression of extreme pain, but a faint light flashed in his pupils, and he called out in an almost inaudible voice: "...Little Senior Sister?"
In a chaotic cognition, Pei Ji actually recognized her.
She wanted to say "um".
Unexpectedly, Pei Ji's eyes dimmed again, and she actually moved her right hand away from her neck. Ning Ning was a little surprised, and thought that he had escaped the disaster, but unexpectedly, he held his arm again in the blink of an eye—
However, with a slight twist, he was pushed onto the stone wall beside the waterfall.
Ning Ning really didn't understand Pei Ji's brain circuit at this moment, especially when she blinked her eyes, she actually saw him bully in front of him, standing very close, staring at her without saying a word.
He seemed to regain some consciousness, but he was still at a loss. The bloodshot eyes were more turbulent, and the thin lips were trembling gently, like a thin piece of paper.
Pei Ji was shaking all over, his dark pupils were mixed with many indistinguishable emotions, and the devilish energy gradually rose up, covering his eyebrows and face.
This was supposed to be an extremely terrifying picture, but when Ningning caught a glimpse of the wet pool of water and the light pink color at the end of his eyes, he somehow felt like a big soaked dog standing in front of him with a few Unspeakable grievances.
She had never had such a close, undisguised look at anyone, not to mention that the other party was a very beautiful teenager of the same age.
Ning Ning was a little panicked subconsciously.
Close... Seems a little too close.
"Pei Ji?"
She tried to call his name again, but because her back was against the cold stone wall, she could only take a step to the right quietly, trying to get out of the opponent's extremely close control. As soon as Nai He's figure moved, Pei Ji raised her hand and pressed it on the stone wall, blocking her way.
Escape failed.
He frowned, his expression a little impatient, I don't know if it was an illusion, the peach-colored light pink at the end of his eyes was more obvious, and the smudged into a deeper red.
"Pei... Silence! Pei Silence!"
Cheng Ying's voice became clearer and clearer, and Pei Ji was stagnant. The palm of his hand pressed against the stone wall secretly exerted force, and his knuckles turned white.
"Thank goodness! You can finally hear me!"
Chengying sighed with a long sigh, and her tone was filled with joy that could not be concealed: "You scared me to death. Since your demonic energy overflowed, you have been unable to hear my voice—how did you feel just now?"
Pei Ji lightly replied "um" to it.
To be honest, his mind is still a mess today.
The pain in his body has not subsided, and every bone seems to be soaked with pain, and it is like a knife is constantly cutting in his head, making him unable to think too much.
For example, why did he regain his sanity the moment he touched Ning Ning; for example, how did he trap her in this corner, so that there was almost no distance between the two.
She must have been frightened by him, and she was staring blankly at it with her eyelashes raised. Through those bright almond eyes, Pei Ji could clearly see her current appearance.
Demonic energy is entangled, his clothes are all wet, his expression is terrifying, his long hair is messily scattered behind his back, and some are wet against his cheeks, against the scarlet eyes.
Such a strange and terrifying appearance, it was indeed him.
"Do you remember what happened before?"
Chengying said it carefully and explained the situation to him conscientiously: "Ning Ning saw that you entered the water alone, and thought that something had happened, so she went into the water to find out."
He couldn't help but raise his tone: "She is so kind to you, she would rather go into the water at risk—Pei Xiaoji, don't bully her."
Pei Ji thought, this is not bullying.
He just... for unknown reasons, he didn't want her to leave, and he was afraid of her leaving.
The severe pain all over his body was still eating away at his reason, and the boy who had always been silent clenched his hands into fists.
It is unbelievable to say that Pei Ji has tried countless ways to suppress demonic energy since childhood, but all ended in failure. But today, when he grabbed Ning Ning's neck, his mind was more than half clear in an instant, and he suddenly remembered her identity.
it's wired.
Now, too, only when he is close to Ning Ning, will his heart feel a little more stable because of the demonic qi hanging in the air.
Pei Ji lowered his eyes silently, and in the girl's dark pupils, his embarrassed shadow was reflected honestly.
He was upset for a while, and didn't want her to see him like this, so he stretched out his hand and blocked her eyes.
The girl's eyelashes fluttered up and down, gently brushing his sensitive palms, bringing a ticklish itch.
Ning Ning heard Pei Ji speak in a low voice, her voice trembling with pain: "Don't look... Can you accompany me?"
=====
The slender figure of the young man was wrapped in black clothes, and because it was contaminated with water vapor, it fit tightly to the body, showing a thin waist.
Suddenly, there was no picture in the field of vision, and all I saw was endless darkness.
Outside the mysterious mirror, there was a wailing.
- Pei Ji deliberately smashed the sighting spirit that spread the picture beside the waterfall, and without discipline, pressed the trial rules to the ground and rubbed it.
Lin Qian seemed to be singing a soprano, "What's the matter! That stinky boy actually smashed the Vision Spirit! It's shattered! It's forbidden, doesn't he know!!!"
A female cultivator from Haoranmen slammed her head against the table and clenched her hands into fists: "What about the follow-up, what about the follow-up! I'm even more excited than the two of them, and the result is the follow-up!"
Tian Xianzi is worthy of being poor and afraid, and tremblingly uses his fingers to plan the plate: "How many spiritual stones does a vision spirit have? Does our teacher still have money to pay?"
After saying that, he looked around in pain, only to realize that there was a large group of people behind him.
Thinking of so many witnesses out of thin air, Tian Xianzi felt even more uncomfortable, without saying a word, he directly ordered the eviction, and waved his hands like chasing ducks: "Go, go! A group of old men and old ladies, what are you talking about here! Young man! You can't control people's affairs, don't look at them!"
Qu Feiqing glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Where can we get a four-hundred-year-old little boy to interrupt when we speak from the older generation?"
"Don't worry, everyone, since the sighting spirit by the waterfall has been destroyed, it is better to look at the world from a different angle and come and see the other disciples."
Ji Yunkai is worthy of being the leader of the faction. As soon as his small arm is raised, his lush round index finger falls on the mysterious mirror, drawing a different picture.
It will be dark, and the picture shows a young man and woman sitting side by side in a cave, hugging their knees in very synchronized poses, their heads lowered.
It is Lin Xun and Yunyunyue, the classic social fear duo.
Lin Xun was a man after all, and he took the responsibility of breaking the silence without hesitation: "Senior Sister Yun, this cave is so small."
Yunyunyue didn't speak, she nodded with pursed lips, and there was a very obvious crimson on her ears.
There was another series of awkward silences, and Xiao Bailong always felt that this was not the case, looked around for a long time, and locked his eyes on the damp corner not far away.
"Senior Sister Yun, there is a centipede there."
Lin Xun's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to look at her from beginning to end: "I'm counting how many legs it has, do you want to come with me?"
Yun Yunyue kept her head down, and finally said, "56, I counted them a long time ago."
"Oh!"
Lin Xun scratched his ears and cheeks, looking even more flustered: "Then, that, then you are very good at counting."
"Award."
"No prizes."
"Thank you."
"you are welcome."
"… "
"… "
"Well, why don't we count the leaves of the vine over there? I'm in charge of this side, and you're in charge of the other side."
"Okay. Junior Brother Lin is really interesting."
The two of them were so bored that they started counting centipede legs with a good heart. The elders sighed and sighed, both men and women, when they saw it, they would fall into silence involuntarily.
As long as the two of them are not embarrassed themselves, it will be others who are embarrassed.
Rao Shizhenxiao couldn't help but twitch: "Which genius came up with the idea to put these two together?"
Ji Yun raised his hand with a smile on his face, his face full of pride: "It's me!"
=====
Outside the mysterious mirror is very lively, and in the corners that cannot be peeped in the secret interior, it will appear a lot quieter.
Ning Ning was a little stunned, and many thoughts filled her mind in a matter of moments—
Why are they so close all of a sudden? Ah no, it's not "very close", but physical contact without warning.
Was Pei Ji's head burned by demonic energy? Shouldn't he beat her hard
And, this kind of plot development is completely different from what we said...
Her mind was as chaotic as wool, but she had to admit that Pei Ji's words were very lethal.
He has always had a cold and hard temper, never showing weakness to anyone. At this moment, his voice is half-hoarse, but he retains a bit of the clearness and sweetness that belongs only to young people.
The sturdy city walls in Ning Ning's mind collapsed into pieces, and immediately relented.
Pei Ji's palm was frighteningly cold, like black iron without temperature. The distance between them was a little too close. Although it was pitch black, Ning Ning could still smell the fragrance of plants with water vapor on him.
The young man's breathing was heavy and rapid, with a gentle heat that blended with the cold water vapor around him, occasionally entangled with her breath, making her ears hot and itchy.
When his breathing gradually calmed down, Ning Ning finally spoke softly, with a somewhat uncertain tone: "Are you... uncomfortable?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help thinking, isn't this nonsense, he is like this, how can he not feel uncomfortable.
She couldn't see and couldn't see what Pei Ji looked like at this time. After some thought, she clenched the wet skirt with her fingers and made up her mind.
When Ning Ning's right hand was raised, it was full of cold water in the pool. After wiping on his clothes for a while, he stretched forward with a little hesitation.
She moved carefully, and when her palm touched Pei Ji's back, she could clearly feel that the latter's back was instantly stiff, and she didn't move at all.
"When I was uncomfortable in the past, my family always comforted me like this."
Ning Ning's movements were very clumsy, his palms swept over his thin and raised bones, and he couldn't help but tremble: "...I don't know if it will be useful to you."
The girl's palm was warm and delicate, incredibly soft, and when stroking his back up and down, it was more gentle than the gurgling of water.
Pei Ji slowed down his breathing, as if even the heavy breathing before was an unforgivable shock.
There were so many dark and complicated thoughts in his mind just now, but because of this unfamiliar touch, they all dissipated and he couldn't remember anything.
He lived in endless reprimands and beatings since he was a child. Later, as he grew up, he gradually learned to fight and swordsmanship. Life was cold and hard, where did he get such gentle and gentle actions.
"Everything will get better, don't be afraid."
Ning Ning's voice was very soft, like a dandelion brushing past Pei Ji's ears, and like a dream, there was no real feeling: "You are not scary, and I will not be afraid of you - so put your hands down, it doesn't matter."
It's okay to put your hands down.
Is it okay to see him with such a disgusting face...
He stood there in a daze, and before he could react, a sudden but soft warmth came from his wrist.
Ning Ning held down Pei Ji's wrist with her free left hand, but with a little force, she moved his palm down, revealing her bright and fair face.
The two lines of sight collided.
Ning Ning raised the corners of his mouth, drawing a small and delicate arc, and his round almond eyes were slightly raised, and they were also curved brightly, like the bright moonlight hanging on a distant mountain, showing him an undefended smile. : "That's good! Actually, you're very pretty."
It was as if it slammed into his heart, causing a heavy shock in his chest.
Chengying couldn't say anything this time, and disappeared after making a long "ah" sound, probably hiding in a corner of the sea of knowledge, rolling around and flying freely.
As for Pei Ji.
Pei Ji's throat rolled up and down, and she turned around with a stern face. Her voice could not be heard at all, and her black hair covered the crimson on her ears: "Let's go."
"Are you all right?"
Ning Ning followed him behind him, with a light tone: "Right! You can eat more in the future. When I touched your back just now, it was full of bones, and it almost killed me."
When touching his back.
He acted recklessly before, mostly because he was driven by demonic energy. Now that the black mist dissipated, Pei Ji finally regained her senses—
Oh, he seemed to be coquettish and asked her to accompany him.
There seemed to be that unfamiliar touch still left on her back, and Pei Ji's ears suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly glanced back at Ning Ning.
Seeing the little girl staring at him solemnly, as if to cover up something, she lowered her body expressionlessly and buried her whole head in the water.
Chengying tutted and sighed: "What is your name, stealing the bell. I really thought that if I immersed my head in a pool of water, I wouldn't be found blushing? I can see it all. Silent."
Ning Ning didn't understand his intentions, so she screamed: "Pei Ji?"
The surface of the water was silent, and a few bubbles appeared, strung together into small transparent pearls.
It didn't take long for Pei Ji to stand up from the water, as if nothing had happened. She took out a men's blue and black thin shirt from the storage bag and put it lightly on Ning Ning's head: "Don't catch a cold."
His clothes have always been meticulously folded and smelled of fresh soap.
Ning Ning took it with a smile, saved a little bit of teasing, and took out a women's embroidered butterfly cloak from the storage bag, and threw it on Pei Ji's forehead: "You too."
The two went ashore one after the other. Fortunately, there was Pei Ji's clothes, and the cold wind around them blew past, and Ning Ning would not shiver from the cold when passing through the cloth wet with water.
When he put on his jacket and looked up, he saw Qiao Yan standing blankly on the side of the road.
Qiao Yan's heart was a little pulled.
She was just wandering around casually, never expecting to be caught off guard to see this scene in front of her.
Let me ask a man and a woman talking and laughing and getting wet from the pool together, all doing the action of dressing, what did these two people do before
What kind of overturned phoenix, I don't know what heaven and earth are, so that they can wear the wrong clothes of each other and walk on the avenue so ostentatiously.
The tastes of cultivators are really not understood by others.
Pei Ji obediently wore a light pink women's cloak, and her handsome face was as pale as a dead man.
Ning Ning stretched out her arm to be Erkang's hand, because the shirt was too big, and her palm was not exposed at all: "Miss Qiao, listen to me!"
Qiao Yan apologized solemnly, resisted the agitation in her heart, and ran away with her face covered.
Ning Ning:…
Ning Ning poked Pei Ji's arm: "Who are we going to explain tonight?"
