Chapter 28: The male protagonist of the court literature is here (6)
In the blink of an eye, it has been a few days since Ji Ning came to Ying Qianqiu's world. During these two days, the mighty team of Demon Lord finally arrived at the destination. The palace is built on the top of Cangshan Mountain, the mountain is soaring into the clouds, majestic and dangerous, it is not only a desperate place, but also a quiet place with excellent scenery.
After arriving at the Cangshan Palace, Ji Ning had fewer chances to see Ying Qianqiu. Ying Qianqiu was very busy and seemed to have to deal with a lot of things. Only the girl still seemed to have nothing to do and came to accompany Ji Ning.
"Last time we went to see the city lord of Tiandu City. The city lord intends to cooperate with us to bring down the last three branches of the Twelfth Clan."
While eating the spirit fruit, the girl smiled and said to Ji Ning, "That's right, those three aristocratic clans are about to end, as long as he's not stupid, he should know who to follow. Good thing, uh…”
Speaking of which, she tilted her head and looked at the boy, seeing that he looked confused, she immediately stopped her words: "Forget it, I won't tell you this, it must be boring for you, And you probably don't understand either."
Jining blinked and gave her a small smile. In fact, he could understand, but he was now a monster cub, so of course he had to pretend he didn't understand .
people, there are no traps.
In the past two days, Ning pretended to be a child very happily. Apart from injecting inspiration into Qin Ruwang every day, he didn't need to do anything else, but Ying Qianqiu would do it when he was free. Come check it out, it's the only time he needs to cheer up a bit.
Judging from the fact that his condition is safe now, Ying Qianqiu occasionally tries to test him, which shows that although Ying Qianqiu has doubts, he has not yet confirmed that he is Ji Ning.
He has already obtained the power and has passed the most dangerous period, and then he just needs to follow the steps to get past it.
"Okay, almost rest."
The girl ate the last spirit fruit, clapped her hands, stood up, and said to Ji Ning, "Come on, continue cultivating profound energy."
Jining nodded, followed the girl's instructions, closed her eyes and meditated, trying to absorb the faint profound energy in the air and condensing it into her body.
In fact, he has profound energy himself, and he has cultivated to a certain level, much higher than that of a girl, but he can restrain his profound energy as much as possible. He had never cultivated at all, so the girl had no idea about his existing cultivation, and just thought he had no foundation and patiently taught him from the beginning.
Because she had practiced before and knew the normal speed of cultivation, Ji Ning deliberately adjusted her speed to be very fast, but it was within the normal range, which surprised the girl with his talent, but also There will be no doubt.
On the one hand, he did this to let the girl take out the corpse refining picture book as soon as possible, so as to refine the dead energy for Qin Ruwang, and on the other hand, if the profound energy accumulated to a certain level, he could openly transform it With the body of a teenager, he still finds it difficult to adapt to the appearance of a child.
After eating more shape-changing pills and absorbing profound energy, Ji Ning finally fixed herself as a teenager, which was still different from her original appearance, and changed her voice as well a few points.
He looked down at his slender fingers, and he was very satisfied. After all, children's hands are too soft and too small to hold chopsticks firmly.
"Very good..."
The girl circled around Ji Ning, who looked like a teenager, and praised her loudly.
The boy was dressed in white, his waistline and limbs were very slender and well-proportioned, his long black hair fell down, and his complexion was very white. Pretty pretty girl.
The only pity is that Snowball still refuses to take off the mask…
The girl decided to correct Ji Ning's aesthetics in the future, but now she has more important things, she clapped her hands happily, and said happily, "Since you have reached this point in your practice, we can start practicing. Change Qin Ruwang."
She called the waitresses and told them to inform Ying Qianqiu.
She thinks the boy is a snow beast cub with immature mind and nature. I have also asked Ying Qianqiu many questions, in order to help the young man refine this murderous corpse, so that he can become a big help for the young man.
This is the first time they have tried corpse refinement. Although the steps are not complicated, the girl thinks she is fully prepared, but because the corpse is different from the ordinary corpse, she is still uneasy, Ben Yang Ying Qianqiu agreed to invite him to sit in person to avoid accidents.
She has already greeted Ying Qianqiu in advance, and asked him to push aside other matters and come to guard.
After the maid left, Ying Qianqiu came to her palace shortly after, and sat beside him, his eyes stayed on the boy for a moment, then turned to the girl, nodded slightly to her, and gestured to her Ready to start.
"Come on, Yingxue, I'll teach you how to refine it."
The girl beckoned to Ji Ning and taught him basic formulas and fingerings.
Qi slowly replaces the filling, and the corpse can be refined.
Of course, this is only the most superficial technique, but with the youth's current cultivation, he can only do this, and because his profound energy is too weak, after research, the girl feels that his profound energy is too weak. Qi is not enough to travel the whole body through the gate of life, but requires another special method.
hope he'll take it...
"
As she spoke, she pointed to Qin Ruwang's bloodless lips: "If you want, you can stick to his mouth and use the method of breathing to inject profound energy into his body." She Afraid that the young man could not understand, he explained in a simple way, "It was you who kissed him with profound energy—"
"No."
However, before Ji Ning could answer, Ying Qianqiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth, her indifferent gaze swept over the girl, but the girl trembled all over, and suddenly there was something very dangerous. Feel.
"This method has never been recorded in the atlas, so try it out rashly, and it may change."
The silver-haired devil opened his mouth indifferently, stepped forward and grabbed Ji Ning's wrist, a pure and mighty profound energy slowly poured into it, enriching Ji Ning's profound energy.
"I'll help you." He looked down at Ji Ning, "You can try refining him."
"Thank you, Qianqiu."
Jining blinked, transforming Ying Qianqiu's profound energy into his own strength, holding Qin Ruwang's gate of life, refining the death energy in his body.
The endless profound energy was transformed, and Qin Ruwang's dark pupils had a glimmer of light. After the refining was over, he looked at Ji Ning and lowered his head slightly Said, "Thank you, master."
His sanity was clearly restored, Ji Ning was happy and smiled at him, but suddenly felt that the fingers of Ying Qianqiu on his wrist increased a bit.
"Qianqiu?"
Jining gave him a puzzled look, Ying Qianqiu quickly let go of his hand, and said, "If you want to refine a murderous corpse, you can ask someone to tell me, if I'm fine, I'll take care of myself. When you will come, don't use the method of breathing refining."
After saying that, he looked at the girl again. The girl had been keenly aware that Ying Qianqiu seemed to be a little angry, and was about to sneak away, but was pinned to the spot by his cold voice.
"Stop."
The girl's body froze, although she didn't know how she had provoked Ying Qianqiu, but her instinctive sense of crisis made her quickly show a pleasing smile, and turned back timidly: "Qianqiu..."
"You go to the Gongfa Pavilion to copy the book for three days." Ying Qianqiu said, "In the future, Yingxue will be taught by me."
"But—"
"You can leave." The silver-haired devil ignored the girl's mourning face and looked indifferent.
"I see..."
The girl was so depressed that her ears fell, and she left the palace weakly.
Jining was a little confused, didn't understand why he suddenly punished the girl, and was secretly guessing what the reason was, Ying Qianqiu said: "It's too dangerous to change the exercises privately, she should remember the lesson ."
What a pity…
Jining silently said sorry to the girl in her heart. After all, she was punished for him, but if this matter was really dangerous, it would be right for her to remember it well.
But what did Qianqiu just say? Do you want to teach him the exercises in person?
"
Facing his gaze, Ji Ning felt pressure doubled.
But now he has no reason not to agree, no matter how bitter his heart is, he can still smile and answer cheerfully: "Okay, thank you Qianqiu!"
The next day, Ji Ning brought Qin Ruwang to Ying Qianqiu.
Maybe it was because he had just returned to Cangshan a few days ago, and he had accumulated a lot of affairs waiting for Ying Qianqiu to make a decision, which made him very busy and disappeared, but now the affairs have been handled cleanly. Qianqiu has been accompanying Ji Ning, teaching him basic exercises.
Jining was a little unsure about what speed she should cultivate at. Unlike a young girl, Ying Qianqiu has a very high cultivation level and a very formidable eye, so Ji Ning was worried that he would not see herself. have practiced.
Fortunately, one day passed, Ying Qianqiu didn't question anything, just expressed a faint praise to Ji Ning's talent.
After the practice, Ji Ning thought he would be freed, but just when he wanted to leave, a waitress walked in and respectfully replied to Ying Qianqiu, "Honored lord, The medicinal bath is ready."
Ying Qianqiu nodded and glanced at Ji Ning: "Follow me."
Jining brought Qin Ruwang and followed behind him to a quiet and beautiful place outside the palace. Under the moonlight, the breeze was blowing and a few beautiful palace lanterns were lit. The lights were dim, and a pool of warm spring water could be faintly seen, emitting a white mist.
In addition to the faint sulfur smell of the hot spring, the air is also mixed with the aroma of medicinal herbs. If you look closely at the water surface of the hot spring, you can see that there are many medicinal herbs in it.
Ying Qianqiu stood beside the hot spring, pointed to the water surface, and said to Ji Ning, "This is a bone-forging medicinal bath, which can help you keep fit. You go into the water and soak for half an hour."
Jining nodded obediently, he knew that while cultivating profound energy, he also had to exercise his muscles and bones, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.
However, in front of Qin Ruwang and Ying Qianqiu, he did not intend to take off his clothes, and after taking the transformation pill, he could no longer return to his original shape at will, so he simply wore the clothes on his body. Bai Yi walked directly into the hot spring.
Ying Qianqiu was noncommittal about this, just stood quietly by the water, looking at the young man in the hot spring, Qin Ruwang saw Ji Ning walk into the water, and initially wanted to go in with him, but was stopped by the After Ji Ning stopped him, he stayed on the shore and guarded together.
A little dizzy…
, leaning weakly against the shore.
Ying Qianqiu saw the fact that he couldn't bear the medicinal power and the heat of the spring water, but didn't make a sound. After half an hour had passed, he finally leaned down and faced Ji Ning. He stretched out his hand and said, "Come up."
Jining took his hand and staggered to the shore, her thin white clothes were soaked through by the spring water, the hem of the clothes dripped dripping droplets of water, the fabric was tight It sticks to the skin and outlines a slender and beautiful body line.
He was dizzy, his feet were weak, his body fell forward, but he suddenly fell into the warm embrace, in addition to the medicinal fragrance in his breath, what lingered was Ying Qianqiu's body as cold as ice and snow breath.
"Sorry..."
Knowing that she was caught by Ying Qianqiu, Ji Ning said in a daze, vaguely seeing that the beautiful silver hair was soaked by the water on her body, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. Trying to get up.
“…Qianqiu?”
Jining put her hand on his arm, her reaction was a little slow, and she looked up into his eyes.
Ying Qianqiu didn't answer, suddenly raised his hand to caress Ji Ning's cheek, his fingertips touched the icy mask, it seemed that the next moment would be gently removed—
A pale hand suddenly blocked Ying Qianqiu's hand, stopping his movement, and pulled Ji Ning into his arms.
Qin Ruwang half hugged and half caressed Ji Ning, looked at Ying Qianqiu expressionlessly, and said, "He doesn't want to show his true face."
“…”
Ying Qianqiu said nothing and slowly put down his hand.
"Sorry, Qianqiu, I'll go back first."
Qin Ruwang's icy body temperature made Ji Ning suddenly awake a lot, he smiled at Ying Qianqiu, and was supported by Qin Ruwang and left here.
The silver-haired man didn't stop them from leaving, he just looked at the boy's back and tightened his fingers slightly.
In fact, he knew that the face under the mask was not what he wanted to see. He had already noticed that the face was covered up by some means, and it was not the real appearance.
Just looking at the person he was thinking about day and night was in his arms, he still had a slight gaffe.
In the past few days, he tried his best to maintain his normal state, pretending to be still suspicious of the identity of the young man, and made several concealed temptations, in order to maintain the illusion and prevent the young man from realizing that he had confirmed that he was tiny.
He can't fall short.
It's just... he can't be sure how long he can endure.
…
Qin Ruwang helped Ji Ning to walk to the palace where he lived. On the way, he met many servants, who seemed to want to help, but they were afraid of murderous corpses. Qin Ruwang It was another look that strangers should not approach, and they all stopped and walked hurriedly with their heads lowered.
Along the way, Ji Ning has sobered up quite a bit and can walk by herself. He patted the back of Qin Ruwang's hand, indicating that he could let go of himself, but he didn't expect Qin Ruwang to just glance at him, then unexpectedly stretched out his hands, wrapped his arms around Ji Ning's back and the crook of his legs, and hit him. Hugged.
"As Hope?"
The body suddenly lightened, Ji Ning was startled, immediately hugged Qin Ruwang's neck, and looked at him in surprise.
"You're tired, I'll take you back."
"
"No need." Ji Ning quickly pushed Qin Ruwang's hand away, shook his head and said, "I'll do it myself."
He pinched the magic of the world of self-cultivation, and quickly dried his wet clothes and hair, and planned to take a bath later.
Qin Ruwang watched his movements, silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you closer to him or closer to me?"
"..." Ji Ning looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to ask such a question.
Is he… jealous?
He suddenly found that Qin Ruwang's recovery was much faster than he thought.
Seeing that he did not answer, Qin Ru did not continue to ask, but leaned forward, took off his mask, stroked his cheek, and said, "I want to see the original appearance of the master. "
Jining hesitated for a while, making sure no one was watching outside, so she complied with Qin Ruwang's request, erased her inspiration, and revealed her true appearance.
"I won't hurt you."
"Please also use the breath method to refine me."
Jining was stunned for a moment, but before she could refuse, Qin Ruwang stroked her shoulders, gently pressed her down on the soft couch, and demanded profound energy from him with a cold kiss.
Is he recovering too fast...?
Jining couldn't help but think so.
…
When most of the profound energy in his body was drained, Qin Ruwang finally let go of Ji Ning and apologized for his rudeness.
If I was truly sorry, this would not have happened.
Jining looked at the young monarch who was bowing his head to him, and was silent for a while, but he didn't say anything. After taking a bath, he lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Before falling asleep, he vaguely remembered that when he explained the refining method, the girl mentioned the disadvantages of corpse refining, one of which was that refining would absorb the dead energy of the corpse, which may lead to Nightmare, although Ji Ning wasn't afraid of it, she hoped that she wouldn't dream of something too terrifying.
Then he sank into sleep, his consciousness in the dream was not clear, he did not know that he was dreaming, but he did dream something bad.
Ring, making bursts of crisp sound.
…Why does this place seem familiar?
Being puzzled, Ji Ning raised her hand to block the raindrops falling in front of her eyes, and walked towards the shop where the only light was. Outside the shop, she saw the old sign above, which was a grocery store shop.
Jining hesitated for a moment, feeling bad in his heart, but this shop seemed to have magic power, he couldn't control himself, so he just walked in.
Under the ambiguous orange light, a young man in a white shirt stood behind the counter, lowered his head and could not see his face clearly, his slender fingers pinched a silver spoon, stirring the glass Hot coffee in the middle, humming a tune happily along with the singing.
When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, showing beautiful and affectionate eyebrows, smiled at Ji Ning, and said with a smile, "You are here."
It's Huo Wuling!
Suddenly seeing Huo Wuling without any warning, even in a dream, Ji Ning was horrified, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this place before.
Not long ago, in another world, he saw Huo Wuling in the mirror, and then pulled into this space, he also met in this grocery store at that time Huo Wuling was almost killed and taken to the world where Huo Wuling was.
"Ningning, are you so afraid of me?"
Huo Wuling in the counter supported her face, tilted her head, and laughed suddenly. , a pain in the forehead, and then suddenly woke up from the dream.
"Ha...haha..."
Opening his eyes and seeing the curtain in front of him, Ji Ning gasped and sat up from the bed, still in shock.
The lights in the palace were dim, so Ji Ning looked around by candlelight.
Just having a nightmare?
He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and deeply felt the horror of corpse refining. This nightmare was so realistic that it really scared him.
But after calming down for a while, Ji Ning felt that something was wrong, and suddenly realized that Qin Ruwang was not by his side, and Qin Ruwang would always be there when he was sleeping.
"As Hope?"
He lifted the quilt, stepped on the cold ground with bare feet, and checked it carefully in the palace, but there was indeed no Qin Ruwang.
"Are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, there was a chuckle from behind Ji Ning, he was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Huo Wuling lying on his side on his bed, with one hand supporting his head and the other rushing towards He waved and said with a smile.
"Good evening, Ningning."
