Killing God - Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Farewell
Shen Shi silently looked at Ling Chunni who was sleeping. Perhaps it was because of the torture and excitement he had experienced a few times before, but after arriving at the inn, he did not rest and stubbornly took care of Shen Shi. This seemingly gentle and charming woman had already reached the point of exhaustion. She finally unconsciously fell asleep while waiting.

Her slender and fair wrist gently rested beside his leg. Her delicate skin was moist and smooth, and she emitted a faint gentle warmth. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look a little lazy and charming. In the faint light, she was like a quiet and serene flower, quietly accompanying him.

Shen Shi looked at her for a while. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes lit up and he saw Ling Chunni’s neck. Because she was lying on the edge of the bed sleeping, coupled with a coat that she had hurriedly put on yesterday, it did not fit her very well. It was because when she was sleeping soundly, her skirt had unknowingly spread out a little. When strands of black hair fell down, it revealed a plump snow-white valley with a somewhat dry mouth and a soul-stirring beauty.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before he immediately turned his gaze away. Previously, he had encountered similar scenes in his dealings with Ling Chunnie several times, but most of the time, there were other things that distracted him, and he had never had any other thoughts. However, for some unknown reason, when he looked at this day, that plump white greasy reflection in his eyes was exceptionally dazzling, and even made him feel somewhat irritated.

Subconsciously, he wanted to pull his palm back from Ling Chunni’s hand. However, he unintentionally exerted a bit more strength, and the movement of pulling back became bigger. Ling Chunni’s body trembled slightly, but she felt something and woke up.

She seemed to be a little tired and rubbed her eyes, but as if she had thought of something, she raised her head and looked at Shen Shi. The two of them exchanged glances in midair. Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment, and then she revealed a somewhat pleasantly surprised expression. “Ah, are you alright?” She said.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and said, “It can’t be said that he has completely recovered, but generally speaking, he is fine.”

After Ling Chunni heard this, she clearly let out a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and exhaled, “That’s good, that’s good. Yesterday, you fell asleep for so long. You really scared me.”

Shen Shi’s gaze involuntarily rose and fell along with her small white hand. He couldn’t help but glance over there. Then, he furrowed his brows and cursed at himself in his heart. Then, he raised his foot and got out of bed.

Ling Chunni hurriedly moved aside and stroked her drooping hair with her hand. However, as her arm swayed, she suddenly realized that her clothes were a little untidy, revealing some spring light. She was stunned for a moment and secretly glanced at Shen Shi. However, she saw that the man was walking to the side of the table, as if he did not have the intention to look back at her.

Ling Chunni’s cheeks reddened slightly. For some reason, she did not care too much about these things in the past, but today, she unexpectedly felt a bit ashamed in front of this man. She quickly covered her clothes with her hands silently, which made her feel a little smoother.

At this moment, Ling Chunnie suddenly heard Shen Shi say, “Miss Ling, what are your plans next?”

Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment. His eyes were blank at first, then he lowered his head slightly. After a while, he said softly, “I don’t know either.”

Shen Shi frowned and turned to look at her. He was also hesitant in his heart. Previously, whether it was in the Divine Immortal Club or in that dirty alley, he had rescued Ling Chunni with his own intentions, or perhaps it could be said to be a moment of righteous indignation. He did not have any deep hatred for Jiang Hei Hu, nor did he have any deep friendship with Ling Chunni. However, at this point in time, he was saved. However, he couldn’t think of any way to deal with what would happen next.

Ling Chunni raised her eyes to look at Shen Shi. An imperceptible trace of gloom flashed across his face, but his expression immediately calmed down. He walked forward and bowed softly, saying, “Young Master Meng saved my life. Spring Clay has no teeth and is unforgettable. It’s just that the little girl is lonely, and there’s nothing I can repay you for. If there is an opportunity in the future, Young Master, I will definitely do my best to repay today’s kindness.”

At this point, her voice paused for a moment, and then she whispered, “Young Master’s body has recovered. Those who are unfamiliar and humble in the spring mud will no longer be disturbed. Goodbye. Young Master, take care of yourself.”

Shen Shi was stunned, but he didn’t expect Ling Chunni to suddenly open her mouth to leave. He subconsciously wanted to say something. However, when he saw Ling Chunni turn around and walk towards the door, he wanted to say something but stopped. He thought he should say something, but he felt that even if he kept her, what could he do?

The two of them were originally completely different people. Perhaps, they shouldn’t have known each other back then, right?

So in the end, his lips moved slightly and he hesitated, but in the end, he still didn’t say anything.

Ling Chunni quietly walked to the door, opened the door and walked out. Then, she carefully turned around and closed the door. When the man’s figure gradually disappeared in front of her in the smaller and smaller crack of the door, when the door finally closed.

She stood outside the door.

He stared for a long time.

A teardrop fell from his cheek and fell to the ground quietly.

Then, she turned around and left.

Inside the room, Shen Shi silently looked at the closed door. He had not spoken for a long time. Even though not long ago, he was still somewhat worried about how to settle Ling Chunni, but when he saw the gentle woman leave unexpectedly calmly, he suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart.

This somewhat contradictory and inexplicable emotion was something that he had never felt before in his past cultivation career. For some reason, he stood alone in this room. Even though the surroundings were quiet, his mood was still unable to calm down.

Shen Shi took a few steps back and forth in his room, somewhat irritated. A moment later, he accidentally saw a corner of the room. Little Hei was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. It was unknown when he had followed him. Yesterday, Shen Shi was too tired and almost forcefully supported himself. He didn’t care about it for a while, but Little Hei seemed to have already comprehended his spiritual nature and naturally followed him.

Shen Shi sighed. He walked over and squatted down in front of Little Hei. He gently touched the soft and smooth back of Little Hei’s head with his hand. Little Hei did not wake up, but he still seemed to feel something in his sleep. He instinctively rubbed his head against Shen Shi’s palm, then turned around and continued to fall asleep.

Shen Shi ignored it. His gaze was somewhat wandering and somewhat confused. He just stared blankly at the room. A moment later, he heard his voice softly say,

“Little Hei, did I do something wrong?”

This guest room was on the second floor of the inn. Ling Chunnie came down from the upstairs and walked out of the inn. In front of her was the familiar bustling street. Looking at the crowded flow of people on the street, Ling Chunni suddenly felt confused. The world was vast, but she didn’t seem to know where she could go anymore.

Ling Chunni walked to the street blankly and looked around. Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment, but he turned around with a hesitant expression. However, he still followed the direction where he came from yesterday and walked over with some hesitation.

Walking along the long street, there was the dirty and dark alley.

The bloody scene of the previous two days still echoed in front of her from time to time. However, no matter how terrifying that scene was, Ling Chunni slowly walked over because she remembered something. The godmother’s body was still lying on the dirty ground.

That woman was old, lonely, and thin like a skeleton, but she was the one who raised Ling Chunni. She was the only relative in this difficult and cruel world. For a long time, godmother had been the only one who could feel warmth from her seniority. Perhaps, now … was there someone else?

Her expression suddenly became gentle, her gaze slightly blurred, as if she remembered the warmth in the depths of her heart, the figure blocking her path, and the warm hand. Once she clenched it tightly, how could she not part with it?

She accompanied him and looked at him, one day and one night,

Suddenly, he regretted not taking another look.

With that one more glance,

Would the warmth in his heart be a little more?

She gently raised her arms and hugged her chest, as if she could keep the warmth. Then, she raised her head, suppressed her desire to turn around, and continued walking forward.

In this lifetime, how many people could turn back on this path?

The long street was long and quiet, and Ling Chunnie had unknowingly walked to the side of the alley. She stopped and hesitated, not knowing if she should go back there. Standing at the side of the road, she looked at the quiet alley entrance and was hesitating when her body suddenly trembled. However, she saw a group of people walking out from the depths of the alley.

Ling Chunni was shocked. Normally, no one would come here in this alley. At this moment, so many figures suddenly appeared. Her heart was filled with panic. She subconsciously hid to the side, but hid behind a stone pillar by the side of the road. After waiting, she realized that no one noticed this place, so she carefully poked her head out to observe the situation from afar.

At the entrance of the alley, the group of people had almost walked out. They were almost all sturdy men, almost all cultivators. The clothes they wore were divided into two types, one with big bear tattoos and the other with ferocious dogs tattoos.

Ling Chunni’s face immediately turned pale. Of course, she knew a little about Jiang Hei Hu and the forces behind him. Jiang Hei Hu’s Iron Tiger Sect was one of the five sects of the Beast Alliance, and the two groups in front of her belonged to the two sects of the Beast Alliance, Mountain Bear Hall and Scarlet Dog Sect.

As these men walked out one after another, they could see that the expressions on the faces of the crowd were ugly from afar. The few people in the lead frowned even more tightly. One of them saw that the grumpy man had even cursed out a few words from the side. He looked very angry.

At the end of the crowd, a few people walked out with four long items wrapped in cloth. Looking at the outline of the package, they could faintly see that it looked like a human.

Many passers-by in the surrounding streets quickly noticed this, and their gazes swept over. Ling Chunni, who was hiding behind the stone pillars on the roadside, suddenly raised her heart to her throat, as if she had guessed something. Her face was pale, and her eyes stared fixedly at the four cloth packages.

Suddenly, the burly man who was cursing angrily in front suddenly walked over. Someone pulled him aside, seemingly wanting to persuade him, but he pushed him away with a wave of his hand. Then, he strode to the back and saw the package. He glared at the package hatefully, roared angrily, and then lifted a kick and directly kicked it.

The one carrying the package was a Scarlet Dog Sect disciple. When he saw this, he was shocked and threw the parcel in his hand and jumped backwards. With a whistle of the strong wind, the strong man kicked the parcel and kicked it heavily. He smashed the parcel into the roadside wall and fell down. He rolled twice, revealing a thin, dried-up woman’s arm.

Ling Chunni’s breathing instantly stopped, and her mind suddenly went blank. It was as if a buzzing voice was shouting in her heart. Then, she forgot everything. At that moment, she seemed to only remember the gentle and amiable woman who raised her many years ago, the woman who gave her the only warmth in this difficult world.

Two streams of tears flowed down, She rushed out desperately, Zhang Kou was about to let out a shrill cry, but at this moment, a strong arm suddenly crossed over beside her and grabbed her neck, forcefully suppressing her voice. Then, he covered her mouth with his other hand, hugged her body tightly with one hand, and pulled her back.
