My Taoist Career

Chapter 296: Heart as hard as stone

Views:

I finally met the legendary Ling Ruxue. I always heard people mention her, but no one mentioned her shortcomings. I was originally very curious about her, but after seeing her, I felt decadent and angry. Feel.

I think maybe my personality is very strange. When my heartbeat is not under my control, I always feel that I am being controlled by others, so I am very decadent.

After the decadence, there was some anger mixed in. I had so many feelings, but the other party didn't have any fluctuations. Such an unequal relationship made me feel insecure, so I subconsciously began to resist Ling Ruxue.

After the initial surprise, the expression on my face became calm. I seemed to be secretly competing to be calmer than Ling Ruxue. It seemed that only in this way could I regain some self-esteem, but I had always been childish. How could I, who was more childish at times, know that this was the most complete sign of defeat

Of course, this silly girl like Ruyue couldn't have known that my mind had changed so much in just a few seconds. She just said: "Third brother, this is my sister Ruxue. She is very powerful. Today she I’m helping you pull out the poison.”

"Well, hello." I greeted Ling Ruxue calmly, politely and distantly.

Ling Ruxue also nodded to me, and then said: "Sit down." There is nothing wrong with me, but calm and polite distance is the most distant distance.

I was secretly angry, but I couldn't see any change on my face. There were only two futon-like cushions in the room. I tried not to care, and sat on one of the cushions in a cool and relaxed manner.

Kisaragi felt that maybe this behavior was not like me in normal times. In her eyes, I was a brat who refused to admit defeat and talked a little nonsense. Today's behavior was too normal, but something was wrong, so Kisaragi cast a glance. Er was surprised and apologetic.

Surprised, I know, what does sorry mean? I don't understand.

But probably because Ruxue was in the room, Ruyue couldn't say much, so she had to take Hui Gen'er from my arms, and then said to me: "Hui Gen'er and I are waiting outside. After you finish pulling out the poison, Remember to look for me, you have a lot to talk about."

I was stunned for a moment, thinking about being alone with Ling Ruxue, and I felt a little flustered for no reason. I couldn't help but ask: "Ruyue, why are you going out?"

Ruyue didn't know what she was thinking of, she blushed, looked at me hatefully, and then said: "You brat, it's very taboo for people to be present when pulling out the poison. If Huigen'er and I don't go out, how can we stay here?" Are you causing trouble?"

As for Hui Gen'er, she giggled again and said something that made me feel very embarrassed: "It hurts (don't) cry."

Brat, I gritted my teeth and was about to pinch this kid's cheeks, but Ru Yue dodged and carried him out. This made me secretly depressed. Chen Chengyi, why do you care about a child? A joke

So, I swallowed quietly, looked calmly, and looked out the window indifferently. I didn't know if my image had the temperament of a wealthy person.

There was no sound in the room. I only felt the air flowing slightly. Ling Ruxue had already sat in front of me, sitting opposite me.

The distance between the two cushions was very close, less than half a meter apart. Ling Ruxue suddenly sat in front of me, which caught me off guard. I tried not to look at her, but I could feel her breathing lightly. A light slap on the face made it itch, like a piece of goose feather floating on the face.

This feeling made my hands tremble unconsciously. I didn't know why, so I just held my hands in front of my chest and pretended that I was bored.

Ling Ruxue didn't seem to care about any of my emotions or actions at all. She stared at me directly. I occasionally saw it out of the corner of my eye and felt uncomfortable for a while.

Just like this, after sitting in silence for more than ten seconds, Ling Ruxue suddenly said: "Take off your shirt."

I was startled and almost couldn't hold myself together. I instinctively felt that something was wrong with what I said. But when I changed my mind, I realized that something was wrong with my thinking. The place where I was affected by the poison was on my shoulder. If I didn't take off my shirt, what would she think? No matter how you pull out the poison, you can't pull it out from my face.

However, since it didn't matter that she was a woman and I was a man, what should I be afraid of? I simply took off my coat and shirt, leaving only a white vest.

Ling Ruxue said nothing, but gently touched my shoulder with her right hand. There was a small black sword tattooed there. She didn't care at all, nor was she curious.

When her hands came into contact with my skin, my heart stopped beating at all. Instead, I felt confused. I couldn't describe it. I just felt that her hands were a little cold, but when she touched my skin, it felt like a belt. There were sparks for a while, and the skin was hot.

After touching it for a while, Ling Ruxue frowned slightly, stood up and left the cushion.

This was the first time I saw her expressive. Just a frown made me frown, but I had no intention of exploring my own behavior, and I didn't care what Ling Ruxue was doing. I just felt a little bit. Lost!

But what is missing? Lost for not having that cool touch, or lost for not having that gentle breath falling on my face

Ling Ruxue's back was turned to me, not knowing what she was looking for on the shelf. Only at this time could I look at her back unscrupulously. Seeing her busy, I felt inexplicably at ease.

After a while, Ling Ruxue suddenly turned around while holding a few jars. I quickly withdrew my gaze and looked around as if I was bored, but Ling Ruxue didn't care about anything at all and sat down while holding a few jars. In front of me, he then said to me: "I'm not sure it's that kind of flesh and blood Gu, so I have to give it a try."

What's the meaning? Is she asking for my opinion, or is it her own affirmation? I was a little helpless because this woman had few words and didn't know how to answer. I could only nod her head very simply and said: "Try it."

"Okay." Ling Ruxue simply said "good" and stopped talking. She turned over her hands and took out a few small copper needles from nowhere. Then she opened her jars and began to pick out the copper needles. Apply smear on the needle.

I was used to seeing the Gu seedlings being little Ding Dongs, so I didn't bother to ask anything. I just stared at the jars for a few times. Some of the jars contained paste and some contained powder.

The paste is easy to handle, just apply it directly on it. If it is powder, it is a little more troublesome. Ling Ruxue will add some water, stir it into a paste, and then apply it on the copper needle. It will look like Scientist doing experiments.

"If nothing else, it should be these. Let's start." As she spoke, Ling Ruxue's hand shook, and I saw a thin, small knife slip into her hand.

I have seen such a knife in the hands of Sixth Sister, but I didn’t expect that Ling Ruxue also had one. What kind of knife is this? Unfortunately, I felt alienated from Ling Ruxue, and I was too embarrassed to ask anything, so I didn't bother to ask anymore.

I knew that the knife had been taken out, and I had to suffer pain again, because Sixth Sister had used the same method once. I thought Ling Ruxue would say something like Sixth Sister, but she said nothing, almost without hesitation. Yes, the knife stabbed me in the shoulder.

Although the knife was small and had a slender structure, it was still a knife. I cursed in my mind.

But I don’t know if it’s because it’s too sharp. I didn’t feel anything when the knife was inserted like this. It wasn’t until Ling Ruyue pulled out the knife and the dark blood stain unique to the mark on my shoulder flowed out that I felt a trace of it. pain.

Then came the pain that became clearer and clearer. I secretly admired it. With this hand, Ling Ruxue would have stabbed someone more than a dozen times before others could react.

Because this hand requires not only quick knives, but also quick hands, clean and neat movements.

Picking up a piece of white cloth, Ling Ruxue helped me remove the blood on my shoulder, then picked up a copper needle, inserted it into the wound I had just made without hesitation and with extraordinary accuracy, and gently stirred it. one time.

The pain almost made me scream, what's going on with this woman? He didn't say hello to anything, and he didn't mind that these things were bloody, he was as cold as a stone!
