Meng Xinyi was caught off guard and received a rejection answer, which made her completely stunned.
You know, along the way, Ji Mingxia basically never rejected anyone.
This time, Yu Ning planned to hide the truth from him, but Meng Xinyi took the initiative to confess everything, admitting her mistakes and showing a desire to atone for her sins. Logically, Ji Mingxia should have forgiven them quickly.
Why would you refuse? It doesn’t fit with Ji Mingxia’s personality!
Meng Xinyi was in a state of confusion, and looked at Ji Mingxia in disbelief: "Ming, Mingxia..."
Ji Mingxia snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any more attention to her, and said directly: "You are the ones who discovered the Love Spring. Since we have different ideals, we can't work together. Let's go our separate ways. Whether we live or die in the future, we will all accept our fate."
After saying that, Ji Mingxia added viciously: "I have wounds all over my body, and those two boxes of puffs, just treat them as if I was bitten by a dog and feed them to the dog."
After saying that, Ji Mingxia turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Meng Xinyi became anxious and couldn't help but reach out and grab Ji Mingxia.
Although Ji Mingxia said harsh words, he was extremely alert in his heart.
After all, when Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were nice to them, Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan had evil thoughts.
Now that they are going their separate ways, who knows what desperate measures they might take.
Seeing Meng Xinyi coming towards them, Ji Mingxia's first reaction was to jump in front of Yu Ning and stand between Meng Xinyi and Yu Ning.
Ji Mingxia opened his hands wide, like a hen protecting her chicks, and blocked Yu Ning behind him. He shouted to Meng Xinyi, "What are you going to do to Yu Ning?"
Meng Xinyi:
Sorry, I want to catch you...
She had just seen how Yu Ning dealt with the monster ghost. Although her mental quality was slightly better than Bao Guangyuan's, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid.
Even if she had ten times the courage, she would never catch Yu Ning!
Meng Xinyi's original intention was to capture Ji Mingxia, but she never expected that Ji Mingxia would go to protect Yu Ning.
She missed and stumbled backwards. She was about to fall. Meng Xinyi simply knelt down and pleaded with Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning: "Mingxia, Yu Ning, it's getting dark, don't leave..."
In the past, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning would just leave, and at most Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi would go back to their old days.
Yes, the monster has just been here.
The core purpose of this game is hide-and-seek. Anyone found by the ghost will be killed by the ghost and become a part of its body.
It's fine if he died, but he can't rest in peace even after death. Who wouldn't be scared when seeing this
Qingshanquan is no longer safe.
After seeing with her own eyes how Yu Ning forced the monsters to retreat, Meng Xinyi knew clearly that in this huge forest, she was only safe with Yu Ning.
But Yu Ning also wanted them to die.
Even though Ji Mingxia spoke harshly, he could be said to be the softest-hearted person among all the people present.
Meng Xinyi was like a drowning person, clinging tightly to the piece of driftwood.
Realizing that begging for mercy verbally was no longer effective, Meng Xinyi knelt down and apologized frantically.
We are all modern people, who can withstand such a great gift? Ji Mingxia was so shocked that he took several steps back and directly avoided Meng Xinyi, feeling a little unwell.
Yu Ning looked at Meng Xinyi and Bao Guangyuan who were suffering, and then looked at Ji Mingxia who looked reluctant. Seeing that Ji Mingxia was still standing in front of him like a protective child, Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia, "Forget it, let's go tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingxia turned and looked at Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said, "It's getting dark, and the terrain here is steep. It's not convenient to go down the mountain in the dark."
Not to mention that Ji Mingxia was injured, even if he was not injured, the terrain of Qingshanquan was difficult to climb up but difficult to go down.
They had been traveling during the day today and had been walking for a long time. If they went down late at night, it would be a waste of time if Ji Mingxia accidentally twisted or fell.
Ji Mingxia also understood that Yu Ning was worried about him, so he said to Yu Ning directly: "I'm not afraid of the dark."
Yu Ning pulled Ji Mingxia's hand: "I'm scared."
Ji Mingxia felt the touch of his fingertips against Yu Ning's. His voice was low, ringing right beside his ear, and Ji Mingxia's face turned red all of a sudden.
But after a while, the sun was setting, and the sunlight was bright red, shining on everyone's face, making them blush. Ji Mingxia hid her shyness under the sunlight, and couldn't help but said to Yu Ning: "Oh, it's because I'm too kind that I'm always bullied like this!"
It doesn’t matter if he’s bullied at school, it’s for the sake of the plot and for Yu Ning’s better future.
What a big deal it is to be bullied in this forest!
Hearing this, Yu Ning pursed his lips, but he couldn't hide his smile in the end. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Ji Mingxia defending him, his heart and eyes full of joy: "I can only rely on Mingxia to protect me."
Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning's rosy little face reflected in the sunset, and her watery eyes were blinking at him like a little animal.
Ji Mingxia felt like a fluffy marshmallow in his heart, loose, soft, and sweet, and his whole body felt like it was immersed in honey.
In the end, Ji Mingxia agreed to Yu Ning's request, and they decided to stay at Qingshanquan for another night and leave tomorrow.
As for Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning didn't care about them. No matter where they went next, they just had to not follow them.
After Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia agreed to stay, Bao Guangyuan took Meng Xinyi back to their sleeping place which was covered with leaves.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning also got into the tent.
Once the tent was drawn, they couldn't see outside, and since they couldn't see each other, they wouldn't be annoyed. Ji Mingxia was finally not as upset as before.
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"
When Yu Ning asked this, Ji Mingxia immediately reacted. He shook his head first, then looked at Yu Ning nervously: "You had a fight with that monster. Are you injured?"
"No." Yu Ning said.
Ji Mingxia was still a little worried and checked Yu Ning's whole body.
After confirming that Yu Ning's beard and tail were intact, Ji Mingxia felt relieved: "Why would that thing appear so suddenly?"
Although Meng Xinyi roughly recounted what had just happened, her focus was on herself, and some key information was also intended to mislead Ji Mingxia.
Yu Ning, who had personally confronted the monster, now carefully told Ji Mingxia about the monster's situation, including the strange golden triangular emblem and Li You hiding in the monster's body.
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Ji Mingxia was stunned for a few seconds after hearing it.
After a while, Ji Mingxia murmured, "So now we can confirm that all this is Li You's conspiracy? She held the ring in her hand and hid in the monster's ghost, killing people everywhere by playing hide-and-seek. Her blood-red ring couldn't kill it, because these two rings are a pair."
Ji Mingxia frowned and said, "It's normal for the monster to want my ring, but why did it give up Bao Guangyuan and Meng Xinyi, who were easily killed, and come after me?"
Yu Ning asked: "Have you met Li You?"
"No." Ji Mingxia replied, but after he finished speaking, he became uncertain.
He and his original self are two people from parallel spaces, and their experiences are generally similar. The original self is a supporting character in this book, and in order to serve the plot, there are inevitably some differences between him and Ji Mingxia.
For example, some of Zhao Zhuoyue’s roommates, such as Yu Ning in front of him, and even Li You, did not exist in Ji Mingxia’s original world.
Ji Mingxia himself has definitely never seen Li You, so what about his original self
After all, Ji Mingxia was in a different body and had no idea about the past of his original body.
In the original novel, the original body was just a minor supporting character. He didn't even have Ji Mingxia's ability to see ghosts. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to cause trouble.
But other than that, there was no other reason why the monster wanted to find him...
Ji Mingxia scratched his head in annoyance and whispered, "I always feel like I missed some important information."
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia's distressed expression and soothed her, "Take your time. Don't be in a hurry."
Yu Ning said: "You were not present when Lin Siyun died, and Li You didn't invite you when she came to Quanzhuang for vacation. From the beginning to the end, you were an outsider in this game."
Ji Mingxia calmed down a little after being comforted by Yu Ning.
What is certain is that if Ji Mingxia had not been dressed in this body and had continued along the trajectory of his original body, he would not have been able to participate in this incident.
Therefore, he must be an outsider.
Even if there were some mistakes in the process, causing the monster to rush towards him, it must be the monster's fault.
Ji Mingxia put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and soon a doubt quickly jumped out from the doubts.
Ji Mingxia grasped it accurately and said slowly: "A triangular golden emblem, it sounds familiar to me."
"Have you seen it?" Yu Ning asked.
"I think so..." Ji Mingxia said uncertainly.
All his information about the world came from novels, which he read as entertainment at the time, so it was impossible for him to remember everything.
But from another perspective, the things he can remember are definitely not ordinary things.
"Could it be a mysterious object?" Ji Mingxia guessed.
In this way, many unusual situations can be explained.
The monster ignored Yu Ning's defense and disappeared inexplicably under Yu Ning's attack.
It is reasonable to say that if Li You holds two mysterious objects, he can fight against Yu Ning.
Yu Ning said: "Tomorrow is the seventh day. Song Yuelin, Meng Xinyi, Bao Guangyuan, there are still three people who are not dead. It will appear again. We will wait and see what happens then."
Ji Mingxia nodded. There were too many mysteries at the moment, and it was useless for them to guess blindly. They could only wait for the monster to appear again before making a judgment.
It was completely dark at this time, although it was only a little after eight o'clock. There were no lights in the mountains. Once it got dark, everything around was quiet and the night was as cool as water. It was time to get ready to rest.
Going to bed at a certain time and getting up when the sun rises in the early morning to travel is just right in terms of timing.
Ji Mingxia took out his pajamas from his backpack and was about to change into them when he saw Yu Ning standing motionless beside him, staring at him with burning eyes.
Ji Mingxia froze while taking off his clothes: "Hey... Don't you want to change clothes before going to bed?"
"The wound..."
"My wound is almost healed. Don't worry about it. Go to sleep!" Ji Mingxia interrupted Yu Ning and said to him.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ning remained silent.
He was so quiet that Ji Mingxia suddenly felt a little embarrassed and muttered, "The wound is so disgusting, why do you have to look at it?"
Why are you so persistent, Yu Ning!
Yu Ning said something in a low voice.
Ji Mingxia came closer to him: "What did you say?"
Yu Ning raised his eyes to look at Ji Mingxia: "I've seen them all."
"Ah?" Ji Mingxia looked at him in confusion.
Yu Ning pointed at his own body and said, "When he examined me just now, he was very thorough. He looked at every part of my body carefully."
Of course, Yu Ning was wearing clothes at that time, so no matter how careful Ji Mingxia was, he was only looking through the clothes.
The clothes were not damaged and there were no signs of injury on Yu Ning's body. Ji Mingxia took a quick look and let him go.
However, Yu Ning would naturally not remind Ji Mingxia of such details.
After hearing what Yu Ning said, Ji Mingxia suddenly remembered that when he entered the tent just now, he suddenly learned that Yu Ning fought off the monster alone. He was very nervous and had to make sure that Yu Ning was not injured before he could feel at ease.
At that time, Ji Mingxia didn't think twice and directly pulled Yu Ning to take a closer look.
At that time, Yu Ning...did not struggle at all, but was very obedient...
Ji Mingxia suddenly felt guilty.
He turned around silently, holding his pajamas and trying to pretend nothing had happened.
But the tent was so small that it wasn't spacious enough for two grown men to sleep together. No matter how Ji Mingxia tried to hide, he couldn't escape Yu Ning's gaze.
Ji Mingxia had no choice but to put down his clothes and smash the broken jar: "If you want to watch, just watch. We are all men anyway, and there is nothing to see..."
What's wrong with just taking a look? Could he lose a piece of meat
Ji Mingxia thought so and took off his shirt without any hesitation.
