Killing God - Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Know Who To Share
Golden Crow sank to the west, and night fell. All the lights in Floating Cloud City gradually lit up. In the darkness of the night, they looked at each other like dots of starlight, staring at the stars in the sky above them.

Among them was a faint light. In the window of a secluded house, a candle lit up on the table. Shen Shi and Ling Chunni sat side by side. Under the dim yellow candlelight, the woman’s eyes were as gentle as water. There was a flush on her cheeks, but one hand was still in Shen Shi’s hand. The candle silhouette was faint, and the figure under the lamp was in pairs. She whispered softly, saying something.

The door was closed, but the little black pig had already arrived at the room. At this moment, it swaggered onto the table. It was lying lazily on the table not far from the candlelight. It had an indescribable spiritual herb in its mouth, and there was a mouthful of it chewing on it.

Occasionally, Shen Shi or Ling Chunni would touch its head, and Little Hei’s pig head would shake a few times, looking very interesting.

Ling Chunni teased Little Hei a few times, then turned to look at Shen Shi. Seeing that his expression was thoughtful under the dim yellow candlelight, he asked softly, “This is probably what happened. In other words, didn’t you buy this house?”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “That’s right, I was unable to go down the mountain because of my apprenticeship. I was afraid that you would be worried. That’s why I asked Sun You to come over to see you. I didn’t expect him to actually do this. He directly bought a house to accommodate you.” After a pause, he sighed and said, “I’ve asked many times before he told me that such a house in Liuyun City costs at least 10,000 spirit crystals.”

Ling Chunni revealed a worried expression as she gently clenched Shen Shi’s palm and said, “What do you think?”

Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Friend Sun and I are very good friends, but I can’t just accept a house worth such a large sum of spirit crystals as if nothing had happened.”

Ling Chunni nodded and looked around the room. After a moment of silence, he whispered, “How about we move out of the house tomorrow?”

Shen Shi pondered silently. However, when he saw the candlelight at the corner of his eyes, Ling Chunni’s expression was somewhat reluctant. He thought to himself, “Are you living well here? Do you like this house?”

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment and sighed, “Although this house isn’t big, it’s quiet and peaceful. I like it quite a lot. It’s much better than the days when I was in a precarious situation. However, it’s not ours. This favor is too big. Why don’t we forget it?”

Shen Shi thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “Since you like it, then you can continue living.”

Ling Chunni was stunned and said, “But didn’t you just say …”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “Of course, I can’t accept this generous gift just like that. Therefore, I plan to earn more spirit crystals and return the sum of 10,000 yuan to Sun You. I’ll treat it as if I bought this house from him.”

Ling Chunni’s body trembled slightly. For some reason, her eyes suddenly turned slightly red. She whispered, “Stone, you don’t need to do this. I…”

Shen Shi waved his hand to stop her from continuing, saying, “Actually, a long time ago, I also thought of buying a small house in Floating Cloud City as a place to stay. First, it would be convenient for me to rest. Second, it would be convenient for me to travel from here to other places. However, I have never made up my mind.” Let’s just pretend I did what I had to do earlier this time, let alone, “he said, looking at Ling Chunni with a gentler gaze.” Since I said I was going to be with you, I can’t just let you wander around like I used to. But I … I might still be poor, and I might not be able to give you a good life. If it was you … ”

Before she could finish speaking, Ling Chunni suddenly stood up. She reached out and covered his mouth, not letting him say another word. Then, she stared at Shen Shi like that. The candlelight reflected in her shining eyes, like two balls of burning flames.

“I don’t want anything else. It’s enough to have you!” She said slowly, word by word.

Shen Shi did not say anything else. He only nodded heavily under Ling Chunni’s gaze.

“Where’s Sun You? Although he doesn’t look very serious, he’s still a nice person. He’s also nice to me.” Under the candlelight, Shen Shi leaned against the table and talked with Ling Chunni about the future. He also had some thoughts in his heart, “So he wouldn’t do such things as I want to recover my debts. Of course, the money that should be paid back should still be paid back to him, but it can be delayed a bit.”

Shen Shi casually drew a big circle on the table. “I have more than 4,000 spirit crystals on me now. I used to think it was quite a lot, but it’s not even half of the price. So, I plan to learn the two spells passed down to me by my master in the next few days. After my strength increases a bit, I’ll go out of the city to temper and explore, hunt demonic beasts and collect spirit materials and herbs in exchange for spirit crystals,” he said. If I’m not unlucky, I think I should be able to return the money in half a year. “However, this way, and I may have to return to the sect from time to time, so I won’t spend much time with you here.”

Ling Chunni lowered her head slightly, her expression slightly dim. Seeing this, Shen Shi smiled and patted her shoulder. He said softly, “Don’t think too much. I feel that this is what I should do. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter how hard it is to have such a house with you.”

Ling Chunni whispered, “But … but when I think about it, you’re going to fight those ferocious demonic beast servants non-stop in the future, it’s … hard to feel in your heart.”

Shen Shi smiled and said, “It’s fine. Actually, I’ve always been here this way since I was very young. But don’t worry, I promise you that I will take care of myself. I will never provoke a demonic beast that is too ferocious when I see it.”

Ling Chunni’s expression turned a little better. However, she still looked a little worried. Shen Shi sighed and gently pulled her to his side to hug her. “Neither of us is a child anymore. If we want to live in this world, how can it be so easy? Perhaps only those descendants of aristocratic families who are born with extraordinary backgrounds will have such a day.” “You used to flatter me with a smile. I didn’t care about the dangers. Didn’t everyone survive like this?”

He smiled. His smile was gentle but confident. He hugged Ling Chunni’s soft and warm body and whispered in her ear, “The most difficult days in the past have come. I think we will definitely live a better life in the future, right?”

Ling Chunni snuggled up in his arms and nodded.

Shen Shi smiled and casually turned his head to look out the window. The night outside the room was vast and the sky was as dark as ink. The darkness was as deep as a wolf and an unfathomable tiger. In the silent night, only the dim yellow but warm candlelight in this small house seemed to be the only bright spot.

Lingxiao Sect, Jinhong Mountain.

That morning, Sun You woke up early. First, he moved around the cave, and then he tidied up his clothes. He was originally a young young master from an aristocratic family, and his temperament and appearance were outstanding. After sorting it out, his entire body seemed to be much more energetic than usual, and he had a rather good taste of a young master in a turbid world.

He smiled at the reflection in the bronze mirror on the table. Young Friend Sun opened the stone door and left the cave. He walked along the mountain path. Along the way, his footsteps were light and relaxed. In addition to his grand appearance, he attracted the gazes of a few young female disciples who passed by. Some of them even teased him with smiles. Young Friend Sun’s usual popularity was also good. He laughed and walked over.

Walking to a certain place in the middle of the mountain path, a fork in the road appeared in front of him. Sun You was also familiar with this place. Basically, every time Shen Shi returned with him, they would break up here. Apart from the mountain path that he walked over and the path up to Guanhai platform, the other winding path that led to the depths of the forest was the valley where Shen Shi lived.

Others might not know, but Sun You naturally knew that Shen Shi had already gone down the mountain yesterday. Seeing this intersection, he immediately thought of Shen Shi and the words he had said in his cave that day.

Perhaps there was still a slim chance. That method was already a bit extreme, but without giving it a try, Sun You knew that he would not accept it no matter what.

A faint smile appeared on his face. He was about to walk up the mountain path when a flash of light swept across the corner of his eyes. He was stunned for a moment. He then turned around and saw a graceful figure walking across the secluded and quiet mountain path from afar. It looked somewhat familiar.

He frowned and carefully looked into the distance, but the woman’s back did not take long before she walked into a forest. The dense leaves blocked Sun You’s line of sight and he could no longer see anything. Sun You stood there and pondered for a moment. Although he only saw a figure behind him and did not see the woman’s appearance, his expression slowly changed. He muttered to himself in a low voice,

“Zhong Qinglu?”

The old tree was towering and the ancient vines were hanging. On this secluded and verdant mountain path, the woman walked lightly. When the fragmentary sun fell on her beautiful figure through the leaves, it reflected her beautiful face. It was Zhong Qinglu.

Along the way, her expression had always been very calm. However, after she reached this quiet mountain path, especially when no one else appeared around her, Zhong Qinglu’s expression slowly changed. She was less cold, more gentle, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

The fragmentary sun dots and the gentle breeze blew her sleeve. Her gaze was like water. She only looked at a certain place in front of her. The green mountains were like pictures. In the paintings, it was as if the spring scenery was moving to the soul, and it was extremely beautiful.

Not long after, that secluded valley appeared in front of her. Zhong Qinglu walked in. A few sounds of water came from the depths of the valley. When she heard it, she also saw that secluded and silent cave.

She smiled. There was joy in her eyes. However, just as she took two steps, she suddenly stopped. She looked over and thought for a moment. She gently touched her cheek with her hand. Then, she chuckled and lightly pressed her face. She concealed her smile and put on a calm expression.

Girls shouldn’t be too frivolous. At that time, they should tell him as if nothing had happened.

However, his bright eyes were so bright, and his gentle smile could not be concealed. However, as long as he could not see it, he could not control it.

She walked forward with a calm expression, but just as she arrived at the stone door of the cave, a trace of a smile suddenly appeared on her face. It turned out that she was so happy in her heart that she couldn’t even suppress it. Wouldn’t she be laughed at by him again later?

Forget it, let him laugh. In any case … he is different from others.

Zhong Qinglu smiled and shook her head. Her heart was beating a little fast. She slowly raised her hand and slapped towards the stone door.

The valley was silent. Deep in the mountain path behind her, a figure slowly walked over.
