Killing God - Chapter 334
Chapter 334 Knock On The Door
Looking at the smiling woman walking over, Qing Qianli’s entire body seemed to be glowing with a bright light, and her appearance had a faint trace of what she remembered. Suddenly, Shen Shi felt an inexplicable sigh in his heart.
All along, his interpersonal circle in the Lingxiao Sect Sect wasn’t very large. He was basically able to talk to those friends. As for the other fellow disciples, they were naturally not completely strangers, but at most, they were just nodding acquaintances.
In his circle of friends back then, He Xiaomei was actually one of them. Although she was not as close to him as the Zhong sisters, she could still meet and chat with him everyday. It was in Jinhong Mountain, Especially after he returned from the Demon Realm, there might be some secrets in his heart. Shen Shi intentionally or unintentionally reduced the number of fellow disciples he came into contact with. The friends that could speak to now were almost Sun You and Zhong Qinglu, Zhong Qingzhu. Of course, now that he had joined the throne of Elder Pu Siyi of the Hall of Arts, he had another senior sister, Xu Yanzhi.
Apart from these people, Shen Shi’s relationship with his old friends had become much weaker. He Xiaomei didn’t have much contact with him either. In fact, Jinhong Mountain was so big and there were many disciples from the Lingxiao Sect Sect. If they didn’t visit the cave on purpose, they wouldn’t have met each other easily. On the other hand, when Shen Shi was sent back from Gao Ling Mountain, they heard that He Xiaomei had actually come to visit him.
With this connection, Shen Shi felt warmth in his heart. He smiled and greeted the beautiful woman who walked over, “Long time no see.” As he spoke, he glanced behind He Xiaomei. As expected, not far behind her, he saw another tall young man. Needless to say, it was Jiang Hongguang. It seemed that after so many years, this man had still been on good terms with He Xiaomei. However, he didn’t know how the relationship between the two of them was now.
However, He Xiaomei walked over these few steps with a pleasantly surprised smile on her face. Jiang Hongguang, who was following behind him, had a calm expression, as if he was a little unhappy. It seemed that his appearance was actually similar to what he remembered from a few years ago.
For such a man, Shen Shi and Sun You were naturally not interested in greeting him. They only took a glance before turning their gazes away. Talking to He Xiaomei, And this fellow Sun You seems to be even worse, Originally, he had looked at Jiang Hongguang indifferently, but after looking at him, he suddenly became much warmer towards He Xiaomei. He pulled her over and stood beside Shen Shi, chatting and laughing. A few words made He Xiaomei cover her mouth and chuckle. Jiang Hongguang, who was standing behind her, immediately had an ugly expression and looked at Sun You with hostility.
Sun You turned a blind eye to Jiang Hongguang’s hostility, Shen Shi watched from the side with amusement. However, in his heart, he was slightly disdainful of Jiang Hongguang’s action of treating He Xiaomei as his own private property. However, this matter had nothing to do with him. Furthermore, He Xiaomei did not seem to notice or have any dislike towards him. There was nothing else to say. He Xiaomei smiled and said, “We are chatting here. What about you?”
He Xiaomei smiled sweetly and said, “I am currently working in the Hongjun Hall of the Artifact Hall. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Did you recover from the injuries you suffered in the Gaoling Mountain Range last time?”
Shen Shi smiled and nodded, “Alright, alright, it’s my fault. I heard that you came to see me last time, but I’ve been busy for a while now and I forgot to look for you. I’m really sorry.”
He Xiaomei glared at him and said angrily, “Do you know what I mean by not bringing something over?” ‘”Alright, alright, I know. You probably like to go find Senior Sister Qing Lu and Senior Sister Qingzhu the most.” He laughed and said, “Alright, alright. I know, you like to go find Senior Sister Qing Lu and Senior Sister Qingzhu the most.”
“Hey …” Shen Shi choked on her breath, but Young Master Sun laughed from the side and asked, “How did you know?”
He Xiaomei smiled and said, “I won’t tell you.”
Sun You laughed heartily. But the laughter was filled with deep meaning as he looked at Shen Shi beside him. Shen Shi shook his head and said sincerely, “Little Mei, we are indeed old friends. Now we are cultivating together on the sect mountain. If there is anything you need help with in the future, just come find me and Sun You. We can only do what we can. We will all …”
“Little Mei is cultivating smoothly now. She doesn’t seem to need anyone’s help.” A calm voice suddenly sounded from the side, but Jiang Hongguang seemed to be unable to restrain himself and said indifferently behind He Xiaomei.
Both Shen Shi and Sun You’s expressions changed slightly. They looked at him, but Jiang Hongguang’s expression was cold. He looked at them coldly, and the hostility in his eyes grew stronger. The atmosphere seemed to become a little tense in an instant. He Xiaomei quickly smiled and said, “No, we cultivators need countless spiritual materials. However, if I really need help in the future, you two must not pretend to be dead.”
Shen Shi and Sun You both nodded. Shen Shi smiled but didn’t say anything. Sun You even patted his chest and said proudly, “What a joke. Do you think I’m that kind of person?”
He Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and smiled charmingly, “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I still have things on my side. Let’s get together again sometime later and have a good chat.”
Shen Shi nodded. With these words, his impression of He Xiaomei seemed to return to the cheerful and lively girl from before, bringing with it some of the warmth of the old days. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
However, just as He Xiaomei was about to turn around and leave, a shrill and high-pitched scream suddenly came from the depths behind Hongjun Temple. It sounded somewhat mournful, as if it carried with it a great sense of fear, instantly suppressing all the sounds around Guanhai platform.
All of a sudden, everyone was shocked. They all turned their heads to look in the direction of Hongjun Palace, He Xiaomei was also shocked. She was stunned and said, “Who is this? Why would he …” As she spoke, she subconsciously turned to look at the people beside her and was about to ask. Suddenly, she was stunned again. Although both Sun You and Shen Shi, who were standing beside her, looked at Hongjun Palace at the same time, their expressions were slightly peculiar.
④
Within Floating Cloud City, there was a secluded mansion.
Ling Chunni sat lazily in front of the window, looking at the small courtyard outside and the sky further and higher up. For some reason, there was a trace of irritation in her heart.
Is it because you miss him? Or was it because he was tired of living in this small house for a long time?
A black figure ran over from the grass in the courtyard and rolled on the ground a few times. Then, he moved closer to the trunk of the old locust tree and rubbed his body a few times, making a satisfied sound. It looked very cute and fun.
Looking at Xiao Hei’s figure outside the window, Ling Chunni revealed a smile. If it weren’t for this little black pig accompanying him, his life would have been even more depressing. That day, Shen Shi left Xiao Hei here, which was precisely because he had this dessert intention.
Ling Chunni tilted her head slightly, as if she had thought of something. A warm smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, the last time he left, he had said that when he came back, the wind outside might not be so tight anymore. If there was a chance, he would take her out to relax.
Is there anywhere you want to go?
Ling Chunni clearly remembered how he smiled and hugged her as he asked softly.
Yeah, where’s the best place to go? The Primordial Chaos World is so big. I heard that there are countless magnificent places, but I’ve only grown up in the vicinity of Liuyun City since I was young. Perhaps … I should go to the legendary Tianhong City first, right?
Yes, I’ve decided. Next time he comes, I’ll beg him to go to Tianhong City together!
Ling Chunni secretly smiled. There was some warmth in her heart, as if even her heart was beating faster. She couldn’t help but press her hand on her chest. However, when she raised her hand, the corner of her eyes swept past, and she saw something. Suddenly, she was stunned and stretched her left hand in front of her, carefully looking at it.
It was a white, tender, delicate, and soft palm. Her skin was as lustrous as snow, gentle and beautiful. However, for some reason, a small piece of skin the size of a half fingernail appeared on the inside of her ring finger.
It was a somewhat strange appearance. The color was somewhat dark. It did not seem to be caused by an accidental cut to the skin. It was because there was no pain nor could there be any tear marks. It was just a small grey skin that was as dark as withered wood on a piece of lush white interfinger skin. It was incompatible with the smooth and delicate skin around it.
Ling Chunni looked at it, her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she felt somewhat unhappy. She was originally a very beautiful woman, not to mention now that she was with Shen Shi, she was even more concerned about her beauty in her heart, wishing that she would be so beautiful and tender all her life. After pondering for a moment, she tried to wipe/rub a few times. However, although the gray color between her fingers was small, it seemed as if it had seeped out of her skin. No matter how hard she tried, it could not be erased.
Ling Chunni shook her head and withdrew her palm. Although her mood was somewhat unhappy, it quickly calmed down. After all, although this small flaw was not good-looking, it was indeed small. On the one hand, it was hidden in a hidden place. Ordinary people really did not notice it. Even she did not know when this small piece of gray skin had appeared.
Anyway, pay attention in the future, don’t let Shen Shi see it.
The corners of her lips curled into a somewhat worried smile as she nodded her head secretly.
However, it was at this moment that Little Hei, who was originally lying lazily on the grass in the courtyard, suddenly stopped. Then, he slowly got up from the ground, as if he had suddenly sensed something.
The courtyard was quiet, and it was daytime. A few breezes blew from unknown places. The branches and leaves of the old locust tree trembled slightly in the wind. The wind blew through the branches, across the grass, across the woman’s face in front of the window, and swept up a few strands of black hair on her gentle temples.
The door of the house was shut tightly, and the surroundings were quiet.
“Dada, dada.”
A few knocks on the door broke the silence and echoed in front of the courtyard.
Ling Chunni was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed joy. He suddenly stood up. Could it be that he had returned? However, she was suddenly stunned again. She saw that Little Hei was still standing in the courtyard. He did not rush to the door as happily as when Shen Shi returned. Instead, he coldly stared at the tightly closed door, revealing a hint of hostility.
Ling Chunni was instantly shocked. She turned around and looked at the closed door.
Outside the door, who was it?
