The day before the final competition happened to be the famous Lantern Festival in Zhengming City, and only on this festival would the serious and fierce Zhengming City become more amiable.
The whole city is dotted with lights of various colors, and countless flame lamps of special shapes are suspended on both sides of the street, forming a beautiful and moving star road at night!
Walking up and down the street, pedestrians walked almost shoulder to shoulder, and many people crowded in front of some shops, playing ancient lantern riddles.
Guessing lantern riddles is mainly about guessing soul pets. Let passers-by guess the soul pet through a short description, and those who guess correctly will naturally be rewarded by the shop. Very meaningful and very interesting.
Of course, this kind of festival cannot do without some beautiful performances, including Shenzong will send some beautiful and graceful women to drive their pure and holy soul pets to sing and dance in the air in the square, and the moving appearance has attracted countless young men. .
"Sister Pang Yue, it's really fun here." Ning Man'er, a lively little fairy, was the first time she had seen such a lively festival, and she had a beautiful and charming smile all night long.
After Ning Man'er grew up, she became a little more shy and reserved, but her temperament remained the same, at least it was fully displayed tonight.
"Well, let's go to the dance, there are so many beautiful men." Pang Yue said with a smile.
Ning Man'er nodded, and subconsciously looked around, trying to find Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi.
"Leave them alone, they must have gone somewhere to whisper." Pang Yue pulled Ning Man'er and went to the other side.
Ning Man'er remembered that Chu Mu had told her not to act too alone, so she called Mu Qingyi together.
The men ran to see the looming women dancing, and naturally they didn't care where they went.
The three women passed through the crowd and saw a group of men in white clothes in the middle of a crossroad. They were performing battles by dancing. This kind of culture has been around for a long time.
The dancers in white performed various performances, and after that there was a battle performance between soul pets and soul pets. Although everyone knew that every move and style of these soul pets was rehearsed, but seeing the difficult dodge And keen awareness, still let the onlookers applaud.
Ning Man'er and Pang Yue were watching intently, while Mu Qingyi was thinking about her own business while watching, as if it was to pass the time.
There are a lot of people behind them, perhaps because the three women are so beautiful, there are always more people who deliberately want to get close to them, especially men.
"What a squeeze!" said a young man behind him irritably.
As he said that, the young man turned around, wanting to see which guy with no eyes would prevent him from taking the opportunity to approach the beautiful woman.
The moment he turned around, suddenly a pair of cold and murderous eyes stared at him, and he felt like he had fallen into the ice cave at a glance!
The young man was stunned for a moment, not daring to speak loudly anymore, and hurriedly backed away.
This person has no expression on his face, his eyes are cold, and his sharp and long chin gives people a dangerous feeling like a poisonous snake!
He was wearing a bamboo hat, the shadow of which half covered his face.
He slowly approached the three of Ning Man'er, and the men who were surrounded by the three women unconsciously moved out of the way.
"Hiss hiss~!"
A poisonous snake emerged from the man's loose clothes, revealing half of his head!
It's a shadow snake that can't be seen at all in the dark.
Like other pedestrians, the dangerous man stood behind the three women seemingly unintentionally, while the shadow snake slowly emerged from his coat, and slowly approached Ning Man'er with his cold head.
None of the three girls who were watching the dance noticed that Ning Maner was still clapping excitedly.
Under the hat, the poisonous snake man showed a cold smile. The shadow snake was less than half a meter away from them. As long as they took a slight bite, the three women would faint directly, and it would be easy to take them away when the time came.
The shadow snake is getting closer, it opened its poisonous mouth, and its terrifying fangs were exposed!
Suddenly, the Shadow Snake launched an attack, and the place where it bit was Ning Man'er's neck, which was as white as jade.
At this distance, it is impossible to dodge!
The moment the shadow snake came to bite, Ning Man'er finally realized that there was a chill coming from the back of her neck, and she subconsciously wanted to hide, but she already felt the cold fangs touching her skin!
Ning Man'er panicked. She remembered that Chu Mu had reminded herself to be careful of sneak attacks from some people, but she never thought that those people would really dare to attack her in full view.
Ning Man'er knew that she couldn't dodge, so she reminded Mu Qingyi who was next to her the moment she was bitten.
Mu Qingyi focused her gaze, turned her head abruptly, and stared hostilely at the disturbing man behind her.
The man grinned, not afraid of Mu Qingyi.
With this distance, no matter how strong Mu Qingyi was, his shadow snake could still bite her the moment she chanted the spell, and the task was successfully completed.
"There are bad guys!" Ning Man'er said out loud.
Ning Man'er also turned around. She originally thought she was being attacked, but for some reason, a cold and dangerous feeling appeared on her neck, and then suddenly disappeared.
Pang Yue was startled, and when she turned her head, she realized that a chilling guy had appeared behind her at some point, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The poisonous snake man was stunned, and looked at Ning Man'er in astonishment.
She was obviously bitten by her poisonous snake, why didn't she faint
The man looked down, and suddenly realized that his shadow snake had fallen to the ground at some point, and was being trampled on by something!
"Hiss, hiss~!" The shadow snake struggled painfully on the floor, its body was a little shriveled, and blood was still overflowing from its mouth.
The man was stunned, and the next moment, a pair of awe-inspiring eyes appeared in front of him!
These are a pair of pupils as deep as an abyss. When they are full of hostility, the deterrent force makes the man feel numb all over!
"What a powerful breath!" The man looked into those eyes with a face full of horror.
A hand slowly stretched out, pinching the man's neck.
The man realized that his life was in danger, he flicked his coat, his body turned into a cloud of black smoke, and quickly disappeared on the spot.
The palm suddenly turned into a claw when it was grabbing at him, and it grabbed the air fiercely, and a smear of blood sprayed on the place where the man disappeared.
Mu Qingyi, Ning Man'er, and Pang Yue were all a little absorbed in watching this weird scene.
It took a while for Ning Maner to react, and lowered her head to look at her own shadow.
Ning Man'er's shadow was moving, slowly returning to its original form from an attacking form.
"Dark Emperor!" Ning Man'er was both surprised and delighted.
It was obvious that I couldn't dodge just now, so it was the Dark Emperor who protected me.
The Dark Emperor is He Cang's soul pet. After He Cang was buried under the Lord Tree, Ning Maner has been looking for the injured Dark Emperor.
It turned out that it did not leave alone, but turned into its own shadow, and it has been secretly protecting itself for so long...
The Dark Emperor didn't show up, and kept the appearance of a shadow, no matter how Ning Maner called it, it didn't come out.
"It's dangerous here, let's meet up with the others first." Mu Qingyi knew that they had escaped a catastrophe, but she didn't dare to take it lightly.
"En." Pang Yue was also very frightened, who would have thought that someone would dare to attack them under such circumstances.
…
Passing through the extremely lively streets, Ning Man'er found Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi under an arch bridge Qinghe through a soul-soul appointment.
"Brother." Ning Man'er trotted to Chu Mu's side, and hugged Chu Mu's arm with some fear.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Ning Man'er's aggrieved look, Chu Mu hurriedly asked.
Mu Qingyi walked over and said to Chu Mu, "We were attacked just now."
"Yeah, that person is so scary, I thought I just died like this." Pang Yue said with lingering fear.
Chu Mu's heart sank instantly, he didn't expect Han Erxing's movements to be so fast, this guy is really crazy!
"Are you all right?" Chu Mu knew that he was responsible for this matter, if anything happened to them, even if Chu Mu killed Shenzong, he would kill Han Erxing.
"It's okay, the Dark Emperor saved us." Ning Man'er looked down at her own shadow.
"Dark Emperor?" Chu Mu was taken aback.
Isn't the Dark Emperor He Cang's soul pet
Chu Mu glanced at Ning Man'er's shadow, and when he probed with his soul thought, he suddenly felt a strong breath of life!
"So it's been following you all along," Chu Mu said.
The master has left this world, and the soul contract has been broken, but it still continues to guard Ning Man'er.
Seeing the Dark Emperor like this, Chu Mu respected He Cang and the Dark Emperor even more in his heart!
The Dark Emperor's strength is very strong, if He Cang hadn't used the Dark Emperor to resist the attack of the seven Immortal Level powerhouses alone, Chu Mu would never have had the chance to become a black and white half-demon.
With the Dark Emperor always by Ning Maner's side, Chu Mu can rest assured of her safety.
However, just because someone is fine doesn't mean that Chu Mu has no anger!
Han Erxing didn't dare to attack him directly, and even targeted the people around him. The most intolerable thing for Chu Mu was someone hurting Ning Man'er.
This time there is the Dark Emperor protecting Ning Man'er, if there is no Dark Emperor, Ning Man'er would just be taken away by Han Erxing, how can I be worthy of those guardians who sacrificed for Ning Man'er, how can I be worthy of respectable He Cang? Strong!
"Mo Xie, Dead Dream, protect them back," Chu Mu said.
"What about you?" Ye Qingzi felt the anger welling up in Chu Mu's heart, and said worriedly.
Chu Mu didn't speak, and walked away alone with a gloomy expression.
…
Walking on the endlessly flowing streets, the flames of the gorgeous lanterns all around seemed to be beating inexplicably, but what they radiated was icy cold temperature, sometimes black, sometimes white...
Chu Mu walked along the street, and as he walked, a veiled woman suddenly appeared behind him.
"Do you know where Han Erxing is tonight?" Chu Mu asked calmly.
"I know." Yu Suo replied.
Chu Mu nodded and didn't speak any more.
But at this time, his pupils changed strangely, the left eye was black, and the right eye was silver!
