Killing God - Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Return
Chen Li led Shen Shi and Ling Chunni to the other side of the mansion. The other Divine Immortal Association disciples dispersed along with him. Little Hei, who hadn’t seen a shadow on the road, jogged out of nowhere and caught up with Shen Shi. Then, he continued to look lazy as he followed him to the side door.

Along the way, Ling Chunni didn’t say much, only occasionally sneaking a glance at Shen Shi. When the three of them passed through several large houses and a garden, they arrived at a small closed door. There was no one around and it looked very quiet.

Chen Li stopped and turned to Shen Shi. “Young Master Shen, this is the side door. From then on, there is a street between the door and the other side of the door. Therefore, Jiang Shaoyuan and the others might not notice it for a while.”

Shen Shi nodded and thanked him. He walked over and opened the door. He poked his head out to take a look. Indeed, there was a secluded path outside the door that did not have many pedestrians. It did not seem to be dangerous. He turned around to greet Ling Chunnie and asked her to come over. Chen Li suddenly said,

“Young Master Shen, that Jiang Shaoyuan is the sect leader of the local ‘Iron Tiger Sect’. He has a fierce reputation and has nearly a hundred disciples under him. Although his cultivation realm is not too high, he himself is only a high-level cultivator of the Origin Condensation Realm. Of course, he is incomparable to a great sect. It was just that this person had formed some gang of foxes and dogs many years ago, At present, there were more or less some status and situations. They had created a title of the Floating Cloud Beast Alliance. They were faintly allied with five sects. Each sect had the name of a ferocious beast. Normally, they would watch and assist each other. Apart from not daring to provoke the big sects, they had always been tyrannical. No cultivators dared to provoke them in their leisure. After so many years, he can be considered a small bully in Floating Cloud City. ”

“Young Master Shen is naturally not afraid of such a lowly person, but if he does meet these people in normal days, it would be better to be careful,” he said softly.

Shen Shi hadn’t expected that the ugly, black, and thin man to have such a backside. After hearing this, he slowly nodded his head. When he looked at Chen Li again, his eyes were already a little gentle. He cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Brother Chen, for your guidance. Shen Shi has thanked him here.”

Chen Li smiled without saying a word. The friendship between Shen Shi and Shopkeeper Gu was obviously different from that of ordinary people. These things were merely lip service to him, but he was able to lend a favor to Shen Shi. He had operated in the Divine Immortal Gathering for many years, so he didn’t dare to say that his other talents were outstanding. However, this favor was very sophisticated, so he was naturally familiar with it.

Ling Chunni walked out of the door and looked down the street. Then, her nervous expression calmed down slightly. Although she looked deep into her eyes, she was still somewhat afraid, or she was even more confused about her future life. However, no matter what, it seemed like she had temporarily passed the test. She turned around and whispered to Shen Shi, “Young Master Shen, then I’ll leave first.”

Shen Shi nodded, then frowned slightly and said, “Are you alright if you go back alone?”

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment, his expression seemingly a little hesitant, but in the end, he whispered, “It should be fine.” With that, she turned around silently and walked down the stairs.

Shen Shi watched as the woman with messy hair walked into the street with a pale face. She walked forward alone. Her back looked exceptionally desolate and weak. A pedestrian walked past her a few steps, but it seemed to startle her all of a sudden. Her body subconsciously shrank. However, she realized that she was just a harmless stranger, so she heaved a sigh of relief from her nervousness.

Shen Shi shook his head. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around and said a few words to Chen Li. Chen Li’s face seemed to reveal a hint of shock. After asking a question, Shen Shi only shook his head. Then, he brought Little Hei down the stone steps to the street and quickly caught up to Ling Chunni. Facing Ling Chunni’s surprised gaze, Shen Shi said indifferently,

“Forget it. A good person will do it to the end. I’ll send you back. In case something unexpected happens on the way, I’ll do it for nothing.”

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment and said, “Then … what about the auction at the Divine Immortal Society?”

Shen Shi shrugged his shoulders and said with a bit of helplessness, “No, I haven’t gone. I’ve looked around and found nothing there that I can afford. In any case, there will still be opportunities like this in the future. It doesn’t matter.”

Ling Chunni let out a “wow”. His gaze lingered on the man’s face for a moment, then quickly withdrew. Then, he lowered his head and continued walking, while Shen Shi walked beside her. From afar, the woman who had been miserable not long ago seemed to have suddenly straightened up a little, as if she was finally no longer so afraid and desperate.

“Where is your home?”

After following Ling Chunni through the streets of Liuyun City for more than half an hour, Shen Shi finally couldn’t help but ask her. Ling Chunni was obviously very careful along the way, Most of the secluded streets she chose included some small streets and alleys. Even if she had to walk through the bustling streets, she would always quietly lower her head and silently walk over. Unknowingly, she had taken them from the Southern Treasure Square to the east of Liuyun City. She was already somewhat close to the places where the aristocratic clans were.

Hearing Shen Shi’s question, Ling Chunni raised her head. At this moment, they were walking to the entrance of a long street. Looking at the bustling traffic, Ling Chunni said softly, “We’re almost there. It’s not far ahead.”

Shen Shi nodded. Walking shoulder to shoulder with her, After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and frowned, “I just heard that Chen Li from the Divine Immortal Society say that the person surnamed Jiang seems to be a native tyrant from Liuyun City for many years. I think he is very familiar with the city. Since you are … following him, can he also know where you live? What if he comes to the door later?”

When Ling Chunni heard the concern in his words, her heart felt warm for no reason. She glanced at him and whispered, “There’s my godmother’s place in front of me. I usually live in another place in the city because I’m afraid that something like this will happen. Therefore, no one else will know about this place.”

Hearing this, Shen Shi heaved a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good.” Just as he was about to continue, However, at this moment, his gaze swept past Ling Chunni. However, he was suddenly stunned. Ever since he had walked all the way here, he had been thinking about this matter and distracted from his surroundings. He was wary of the Iron Tiger Sect’s people chasing after him, so he did not really seriously look at Ling Chunnie. He could only intuitively remember that this woman had experienced that ordeal and had a very miserable appearance.

However, at this moment, Ling Chunni seemed to have changed a little. She had already cleaned up her messy and miserable appearance, including her drooping hair. She had also gathered and tidied up her hair. Although she looked a little casual, she still looked a lot cleaner and tidier.

There were still some scars on the corners of her mouth, but the blood had already been wiped away by her. A wisp of red had appeared on her pale face, and her complexion seemed to be slightly better. It was as if she was born with a soft and charming appearance, and it inadvertently spilled out from her bright eyes like water flowing through her eyes.

It was like the wisp of light that occasionally appeared after the pearl was covered in dust, yet it was serene yet soul-stirring.

Under her fair neck, her originally beautiful clothes were already slightly torn, but she tried her best to pull them neatly. As she walked, the unconcealable plump snow revealed an attractive scenery. A deep valley could be vaguely seen beneath her clothes, and it had a kind of beauty that made one’s mouth dry and tongue dry.

Shen Shi suddenly moved his gaze away and looked ahead. He slowly walked forward. Behind him, Ling Chunni silently glanced at him. His eyes seemed to be somewhat hazy, but there seemed to be an indescribable faint light. He pursed his lips slightly and followed him gently.

Halfway down the street, Ling Chunni stopped at a place beside the street. Shen Shi glanced around and saw a small alley between two tall buildings. There was a lot of rubbish piled up near the entrance of the alley, and the sewage flowed across it, making it look very dirty.

He looked at Ling Chunni strangely. Ling Chunni walked to the side of the alley and whispered, “My godmother’s residence is in this alley. It’s usually dirty and nobody comes here. There’s only one family living in this broken house, so it should be very safe.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “So it’s like this, then you go.”

Ling Chunni took two steps towards the alley entrance and suddenly turned around to look at Shen Shi, seemingly wanting to say something, but then he hesitated to say anything.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Shi asked curiously.

Ling Chunni thought for a moment, but still felt a little apologetic. He whispered, “The alley is extremely dirty and smelly. It’s really not a good place to go. Plus, the room inside is also in tatters. I, I won’t invite Young Master in.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “There’s no need to worry about trivial matters. Alright, you go.”

Ling Chunni took a deep look at him, wondering if she wanted to remember his face even more deeply. Perhaps after today’s farewell, she would never see him again.

After all, he and he had never been the same kind of person.

She bent down slightly towards Shen Shi, then quietly turned around and walked towards the depths of the alley. Dark shadows pervaded the alley, quickly drowning her figure.

Seeing Ling Chunni’s back disappear into the depths of the winding alley, Shen Shi subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, but then he felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart. This mood wasn’t strong. It was plain and indifferent. Perhaps it wasn’t even a loss. Perhaps it was just that after seeing a beautiful woman like Ling Chunni, he sighed faintly after being contaminated by Feng Chen.

Thinking carefully, Shen Shi was actually somewhat glad. Even though he had experienced many tribulations and twists and turns, he was still able to grow up in a relatively stable family. In the future, he would even join a famous sect like the Soaring Firmament Sect. Compared to the rogue cultivators in this world, who were in countless difficulties and struggling all day long for a little spirit crystal, he was truly lucky.

A woman like Ling Chunni had no strength. If she wanted to obtain a spirit crystal for cultivation, could she only go this way?

He couldn’t understand for a moment, but his mood suddenly wasn’t very good, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong. Perhaps life was such a harsh reality?

Some people sit high and mighty, some people are born lowly and struggle desperately, but in the end, they can only shatter into nothingness?

Then what was he?

He walked forward in silence, dazed, but did not notice two men expressionlessly walking over and brushing past him. When they reached the dirty alley entrance, their footsteps paused for a moment, and then they turned and entered the alley at the same time.

In front of the street, Shen Shi was walking. Suddenly, he felt something. He stopped and turned around. He looked behind him, only to see that the place behind him was empty. There was nothing behind him.

He stood there silently, seemingly wanting to recall something in a hint of hesitation, but he found nothing. Then, with some hesitation, he looked at the street further away, and at the side of the alley beyond his gaze, it was as dirty as ever, and darkness was everywhere.
