Killing God - Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Shake Hands
Ling Chunni knelt on the ground and retched for a long time before she gradually recovered. However, she saw that there was no longer any blood on her face and it was a little scary white. She was dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. She hurriedly turned around and took a look. She saw that Shen Shi had been leaning against the wall since just now. He seemed to be standing weakly. His expression was very ugly, as if he was going to collapse in the next moment.

Ling Chunni was shocked. He hurriedly stood up. Just as he took a step forward and saw a large amount of blood on his body, he frowned. Then he quickly ran back to the dilapidated room and quickly changed his clothes. Otherwise, if he walked out with blood all over his body, people would probably know what was happening here in a short while.

When she walked quickly to Shen Shi’s side for the second time, the bloodstained clothes on her body had already been changed. Even her face had been slightly tidied up. Although her hair was still a little messy, the most important bloodstains had already been erased. From the looks of it, she could barely go out to meet someone.

Shen Shi looked at the woman who had suddenly become silent. He quickly walked to his side and supported his arm without saying a word. The two of them leaned against each other and walked out of the alley. Behind him, there was only a miserable scene of mess and mournful bloodstains.

Not long after, the two of them left the alley. When the bright light fell on them, the bustling streets were filled with people. It seemed that no one noticed the two of them.

Ling Chunni gritted his teeth and supported Shen Shi’s body as he lowered his head to the side. Shen Shi felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and his sleepiness surged on the ground. He felt that he couldn’t hold on any longer. He had no choice but to whisper, “Quickly find a secluded place where no one can rest.”

Ling Chunni looked up at him. Shen Shi’s expression was horribly ugly. He couldn’t help but be shocked. In her panic, she looked around. She was originally just an ant-like lowly person in Floating Cloud City, struggling to survive. The only thing that could be considered home was the godmother’s broken house in the alley. As for the house that was temporarily rented for her, it was naturally impossible for her to go back now.

Just as she was in a hurry, she suddenly saw an inn with a very grand front by the main street. There were four words written on the signboard: An Shan Inn.

Ling Chunni took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made a decision. Then, he helped Shen Shi walk towards the inn. Shen Shi looked up wearily and hesitated, but he didn’t say anything in the end.

The two of them entered the inn, and someone had already welcomed them. However, Shen Shi and Ling Chunni’s appearances were somewhat abnormal at this moment. The shopkeeper who came over to receive them was speaking politely while looking at them with his gaze.

Ling Chunni said, “We want to stay in a clean room.” Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment before whispering, “I … My husband went out of the city to pick herbs. He encountered a fierce battle with a demonic beast and suffered some injuries. He needs to recover.”

The shopkeeper let out a “Oh” sound and his expression immediately calmed down. This Floating Cloud City was a large city of cultivators. There were many cultivators coming and going everyday. It was not uncommon for them to return to the city to recover from injuries in the wild like this. Now that they were fully suspicious, they arranged a room on the second floor of the inn and instructed the servants below to bring Ling Chunni and Shen Shi over.

Upstairs, the waiter brought them and quickly dismissed them. As soon as Ling Chunni closed the door, he heard a thud behind him. However, Shen Shi could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.

Ling Chunni was shocked. She thought that something had happened to him, and her face immediately turned pale. She hurriedly ran over to help him, but seeing Shen Shi’s eyes tightly closed, she did not know for a moment what was going on. Ling Chunni was even more anxious. He hurriedly inspected Shen Shi’s body, but after examining his body, there didn’t seem to be any particularly serious injuries. Looking back at Shen Shi, Ling Chunni found that although the man fainted, his breathing was still calm and gentle, as if he didn’t have any particularly critical appearance.

Ling Chunni felt a little relieved and let out a long breath. But of course, Shen Shi could not fall to the ground at this moment. She looked at the situation in the room and saw that there was a bed against the wall and a window not far away. She bent down and struggled to support Shen Shi and slowly moved him towards the bed.

Speaking of which, Ling Chunnie was also considered a cultivator. However, her cultivation level was very low. She was only at the Qi Refining Realm now, and the cultivation technique she cultivated was also very strange. It was a strange cultivation technique that she had comprehended from half of the Dream Buddha Diagram. This technique, including the Meng Tan Diagram, was accidentally acquired by her godmother many years ago, and was passed on to her in the future.

However, this nameless cultivation technique, Ling Chunni privately called it the Dream Tan Art. It was indeed very strange. After cultivating, she did not temper and strengthen a cultivator’s body like most cultivation techniques. The effect might be a little, but it was not obvious. The most obvious use was to make the woman’s appearance gradually seductive and beautiful, giving her a strange feeling of natural seduction.

However, at the beginning of their cultivation, neither mother nor daughter noticed anything unusual. Originally, they thought that this was just one of the countless strange cultivation methods in the Great Thousand Worlds. It just so happened that women loved beauty, and they didn’t have any opportunities to do so. They were just mortals, so they continued to practice.

However, a few years later, Ling Chunnie’s godmother suddenly had a strange appearance. In a short period of time, a originally soft and beautiful woman was quickly sucked dry of all her vitality and turned into an old woman like a skeleton. Only then did they realize that this spell might be an extremely evil and strange technique, and that the effect of making one’s appearance beautiful was actually at the expense of overdrawing one’s future vitality.

Under such circumstances, Ling Chunni naturally did not dare to continue cultivating. After all, the godmother’s warning was there. However, for some reason, even though she had stopped cultivating, her body was still charming and beautiful day after day. However, other than that, her body did not obtain too much strength like most cultivators.

This was also the reason why she had almost no resistance when facing a stronger cultivator. Because her own strength was practically the same as a mortal’s, even if she moved Shen Shi’s body at this moment, she would find it somewhat strenuous.

However, in the end, she still clenched her teeth and slowly moved Shen Shi onto the bed. Afterwards, she was already sweating profusely for a moment. First, she lifted the blanket to cover Shen Shi, then went out to fetch a basin of clean water. She wrung it dry with a towel and sat down beside the bed to gently wipe Shen Shi.

The young man’s face was breathing quietly. The stains of blood that he had been stained with were all cleaned up by Ling Chunni.

She carefully wiped it, her gaze gradually becoming gentle. It was unknown when the world outside the house seemed to have been separated from each other. She was the only one left, as well as the sleeping man in front of her.

Skylight flowed, and the noise rose and fell, watching the sun rise and fall, watching the shadows move, from dawn to dusk, from evening to the depths of the night, there were stars, moons, and gentle winds, whisking whose hair tips, and whisking past whose eyebrows?

It was like a dream.

Intoxicated but unwilling to wake up.

Therefore, she opened her eyes wide and stared at him.

So I couldn’t help but shake your hand.

There was a faint warmth.

A cold night, who cares?

Till dawn, tenderness still existed.

④

When the morning light landed under the hanging tent through the window and Shen Shi’s face, his body moved slightly, as if he had a long and calm dream. He slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

“Ah, you’re awake?” A gentle and joyful voice came from the side.

Shen Shi turned around and saw Ling Chunni sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with joy in his eyes.

He smiled and recalled the battle in the alley and the inn. He looked around and Shen Shi quickly confirmed that this should be a room in that inn. He heaved a sigh of relief, supported his arm and wanted to sit up. At the same time, he asked, “How long have I been asleep … hmm?”

Halfway through his words, he was suddenly stunned. He discovered that his right hand was holding onto Ling Chunni’s soft, white hand. Ling Chunni was also shocked. It was as if she had just discovered this. Suddenly, her cheeks flushed red. She hurriedly pulled her hand back and lowered her head and whispered,

“You’re unconscious … Well, you slept for a day and a night.”

Shen Shi was shocked. He hadn’t expected that he would fall asleep for so long after exhaustion. After pondering for a moment, he quickly noticed the slight exhaustion on Ling Chunni’s face and asked in shock, “Have you not slept all night?”

Ling Chunni smiled and shook his head, “It’s fine, I’m not sleepy.”

Shen Shi was silent. He looked at his body and found that his coat had already been taken off under the blanket and was neatly placed on the clothes rack by the side. The few belongings on his body, including the Ruyi bag on his waist, did not show any signs of moving. Because of that battle, there should have been some dirty blood stains on his body. At this moment, they were all clean and refreshing. Obviously, it was all caused by Ling Chunni taking care of him when he was unconscious.

In Shen Shi’s memories, even when he was young, he did not seem to have experienced such an experience. There was a strange feeling in his heart. He turned to Ling Chunnie and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Thank you very much.”

Ling Chunni shook her head and said, “Nothing much. If you really want to thank me, you saved me yesterday. I can’t overrepay you.”

As he spoke, Ling Chunni helped Shen Shi sit up and whispered with concern, “Are you alright?”

Shen Shi closed his eyes and examined himself. Soon, he discovered that there was almost no harm to his physical injuries. The biggest problem was that he had consumed too much spiritual energy in his body. However, after a night of deep sleep, no matter if it was at the acupoint of his eyebrows or at the sea of qi in his dantian, he had recovered 20-30% of his spiritual energy and his body had finally recovered.

However, the pain in his body still faintly existed. After pondering for a moment, he said to Ling Chunni, “I need to meditate for a while. If there is nothing important in the middle, don’t disturb me, okay?”

Ling Chunni immediately nodded and said, “Alright, just do it. Don’t worry about me.”

Shen Shi nodded his head. After pondering for a moment, he took out a spirit crystal from his Ruyi bag and held it in his hand. Then, he closed his eyes and began to slowly regulate his luck. At the same time, he attempted to guide his spirit into his body.

His current cultivation realm had already reached the Origin Condensation Realm. It was naturally completely different from the Qi Refining Realm he had just started cultivating. It didn’t take long for him to feel the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal. Then, a gentle amount of spiritual energy slowly entered his body along the Qi meridians of his arm.

Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed, his meridians seemed to have been nourished very quickly. The faint aching sensation quickly dissipated. Shen Shi thought to himself and recalled all the details of yesterday’s battle. After this battle, the sequelae of the golden dragon armor were unexpectedly great. He had used it a few times in the past, including when he went to Gaoling Mountain to save Little Black from the three cultivators of Mountain Bear Hall. However, the consequences were not as severe as yesterday.

Thinking about it, However, Shen Shi still couldn’t find any definite reason. In the end, Perhaps it was because of the axe that Jiang Hei Hu had used in the battle. When the axe landed on his body and Shen Shi chose to shoulder it head-on, the golden dragon armor was obviously dimmed. From then on, his Spiritual Energy consumption instantly increased, and very quickly, it reached a point where it almost ran out of oil.

Could it be that there was something strange about that axe?

Shen Shi secretly guessed in his heart. At the same time, he was also meditating to recover his luck. With the effect of meditation and the replenishment of the spiritual energy within the spirit crystal, the recovery speed of the spiritual energy in his body instantly increased by a lot. The situation on his body was also improving rapidly. In the end, Shen Shi himself quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

Unknowingly, this period of cultivation had passed for a very long time. When Shen Shi suddenly felt that the Spiritual Energy in his palm had dried up and no longer had any Spiritual Energy entering his body, he woke up from his shock. He slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

The room was silent, but the light seemed to dim again, as if another day had slipped by unknowingly. Shen Shi lowered his head slightly and saw Ling Chunni.

The beautiful and gentle woman was still at the bedside beside him. Perhaps because she was too tired, she leaned her head gently against the edge of the bed and fell asleep peacefully. Her eyes were closed. Her slender eyelashes occasionally moved slightly. It was as if she had seen something in a dream. Perhaps this was a place that made her feel at ease. Therefore, the corner of her mouth revealed a trace of comfort in her sleep.

One of her hands was hanging by her side, while the other hand was on the bed. Perhaps it was an unintentional movement in her sleep, but from an unknown time onwards, her palm was gently placed beside his hand. Her slender fingers and fair skin seemed to emanate waves of gentleness.

It was like the warmth of reluctance to part, making her want to hold it tightly in her dreams.

Just like that, she gently grabbed his palm.
