Killing God - Chapter 342

Chapter 342 Do You Have Any Killing Intent
After staying on the mountain for half a day, he saw another inexplicable quarrel between a man and a woman. Although he was curious about He Xiaomei’s sudden absence at night, neither Shen Shi nor Sun You had the intention to meddle in other’s affairs. After leaving, he headed to the dock of the Sea Crossing Immortal Ark at the foot of Golden Rainbow Mountain to take a look at the sky. It was almost past the hour.

Sun You accompanied Shen Shi all the way down the mountain. On the way, he chatted and laughed with him. Looking ahead to the upcoming Hundred Mountain Realm Selection Conference, Shen Shi was in a good mood. Of course, he could understand his good friend’s mood and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart. As for the other Sun Heng, who was involved in the Sun Clan’s internal conflict, the two of them did not mention it as if they had a tacit understanding.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw the Sea Crossing Immortal Ark, Shen Shi bid farewell to Sun You. Sun You smiled and said, “You should go back early. There will be a series of major events coming up. After half a year, the Four Great Conferences will be considered one of the most critical times in our path of cultivation.”

Shen Shi nodded and said, “I know.” Just as he was about to turn around and board the ship, a person suddenly ran over from the Sea Crossing Immortal Boat in a hurry. He looked like a sailor on the Immortal Boat and quickly arrived beside the two of them.

Shen Shi was puzzled when he heard that Sun You was a little surprised. He was stunned and said, “Xu San, why are you here?”

The man named Xu San remained silent, but he signaled for Sun You to follow him to the side. After whispering in a secluded place, he expressionlessly returned to the tall Sea Crossing Immortal Ark.

Sun You walked back. Shen Shi glanced at him and couldn’t help but be stunned. He discovered that Sun You’s expression seemed to be somewhat grave and ugly. He couldn’t help but ask, “Who is that person? Is there something wrong with that?”

“Xu San is from my grandmother’s Xu Clan. He just came to tell me that something happened to the house on the other side of Floating Cloud City, where Miss Chun Ni lives. It’s like someone from the Beast Alliance discovered him and was besieged by someone,” Young Friend Sun hesitated for a moment before he said in a deep voice, “Xu San is from my grandmother’s Xu Clan.”

Shen Shi’s body suddenly trembled and he cried out, “What?”

‘”Don’t worry. Although it’s a little dangerous, it was my uncle and the others who saved him in the end. Miss Chun Ni should be fine and is currently being placed in the Xu Clan’s mansion. So if you want to go over and see her, you can go directly to the Xu Clan,” Young Master Sun said hurriedly, looking shocked and unsightly.

Only then did Shen Shi let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, there was a hint of fear in his heart. He immediately nodded and said, “Alright, then I’ll go over now. At the same time, I have to thank Patriarch Xu personally for saving my life.”

As he spoke, he turned around and strode forward. Young friend Sun could more or less feel his anxiety and didn’t say anything else. However, after taking a few steps, Shen Shi suddenly stopped. After a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at Young friend Sun. “Young friend Sun, did that person say how the Beast Alliance discovered that house?”

Sun You shook his head and said, “I didn’t mention it.” He pondered for a moment before continuing, “However, those people from the Beast Alliance are considered local snakes here in Liuyun City. They are very familiar with the situation in the city. Perhaps they might have heard about it from some city fox, social rat, or other places.”

Shen Shi remained silent for a moment, nodded and didn’t say anything else. He greeted Sun You and left.

In Floating Cloud City, the Xu Clan’s mansion.

The huge pavilions of the mansion were stacked one after another, decorated with exquisite carvings, and some of the pavilions that had existed for more than a hundred years could be seen everywhere. It was as if they were quietly recounting the stormy years that they had experienced here, revealing a trace of deep vicissitudes. The garden was decorated with a small lake, and there was also some elegant scenery. The fallen leaves and flowers had long since been cleaned. The entire mansion emitted a clean and neat aura, as if there was a surge of vitality emanating from the mansion.

In a courtyard in the western courtyard of the mansion, there were three rooms. Normally, they were arranged as guest rooms. Last night, someone was placed here amidst the chaos. Apart from the one in the middle near the north, there were two rooms in the east wing and the west wing.

Ling Chunnie was the guest that the Xu Family had arranged to stay in the west wing.

The sudden battle yesterday continued into the middle of the night. He really went to the Gate of Death once. Although Ling Chunnie did not suffer any serious injuries to her body in the end, the shock she suffered was not small. After being rescued by the Xu Clan, she brought back the Xu Clan’s mansion and settled down in the West Garden. Ling Chunni thought that she would be panicked and unable to sleep all night. In fact, at the beginning of the settling down, she did toss and turn and miss Shen Shi very much. However, it was unknown when she fell asleep lying on her back and fell asleep.

She was dreaming, and there was more than one dream. It was a lot of complicated, difficult, and vague dreams. Every dream seemed to be very short. One dream would suddenly shatter after a while, and then she would fall into another dream. It was like an endless dream, floating blankly in a strange illusion.

Some people say that dreams are like blisters that easily disappear without a trace. But when Ling Chunni travels through dreams one after another, even if she accidentally wants to remember something, she often finds that she forgets most of the things in her dreams when they are shattered.

She only vaguely remembered that among these many dreams, nightmares were the most common, but there were also some beautiful dreams that made her happy. The warmth and only person she remembered was Shen Shi.

Later, she woke up.

It was already dawn when he woke up. He had actually slept all night. Ling Chunni was lying in the bed and blankets, a little dazed and at a loss. He thought to himself, for some reason, he seemed to be somewhat sleepy and lazy these past few days. Perhaps it was because he had been locked up at home for too long that he was tired?

She shook her head gently and suddenly felt pain in her heart for no reason. In that thought just now, did she unknowingly treat that small house as a “home”?

Unfortunately, it’s gone now, isn’t it?

She sighed and sat up. He swept his gaze across the room. He arrived in a hurry last night. In addition, after being exhausted and frightened, he didn’t have any extra leisure. He almost didn’t take a good look at this place. Now, when he looked carefully, he discovered that the room was very spacious. Whether it was tables, chairs, or counters, they were all antique. They emitted a thick and ancient aura, showing the Xu Clan’s rich family’s background.

The room looked very clean, apparently cleaned from time to time, and did not reveal any hectic stains from the sudden arrival, including on the ground. The corner of his eyes flashed past the foot of the bed, and Ling Chunni saw the little black pig curled up into a ball lying on the ground beneath the edge of the bed and falling asleep.

Apparently, this pig was sleepier than her, and carefree or heartless, It looked like it was sleeping soundly. Just looking at its appearance, no one would have imagined that there would be such a ferocious battle last night. At the end, this Little Hei pig was also extremely ferocious. It rampaged through many Beast Alliance cultivators in that hut, and at least five people had their ankles bitten off by it alone.

Ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators, even those Beast Alliance cultivators who were accustomed to fighting with weapons in their hands, did not seem to be able to resist under the fangs of this black pig. This was something that Ling Chunni had never thought of. In the past, Shen Shi had left Little Hei with her, saying that he was accompanying her to relieve her boredom and protect her. However, Ling Chunni had always felt that it was the former. Normally, Little Hei looked like he was lazy and lazy all day long. How could there be anything that could intimidate foreign enemies?

However, last night’s battle clearly showed that there were tens of millions of demonic beasts in the world. Even if it was a pig, you could not underestimate it. Otherwise, those Beast Alliance cultivators who had their legs broken last night would end up like this.

She lazily stretched and got out of bed. As he walked past the sleeping Little Hei pig, Little Hei’s ears twitched, as if they were tilting upwards, but he didn’t know if he slept too well and didn’t want to wake up, or if he didn’t think there would be any danger at this moment. Little Hei’s pig ears quickly drooped down again, and he muttered twice. He didn’t even open his eyes and was still asleep sweetly.

After tidying up her clothes, Ling Chunni was stunned when she suddenly heard a calm male voice coming from outside the door. He said,

“I’m Xu Teng, have you got up yet, Miss Ling?”

Ling Chunni was shocked and quickly stood up. He quickly walked to the door and opened it. He saw a middle-aged man standing outside with a smile on his face. It was Xu Teng. As the Patriarch of the Xu Clan, Xu Teng also had a reputation in Floating Cloud City. Even Ling Chunni had heard of them before. Of course, the two of them were people from completely different worlds. She never thought that one day they would stand in front of the Xu Clan’s Clan Master, who had once felt aloof. Although Xu Teng’s smile looked kind and gentle, it was no different from an ordinary person’s.

Ling Chunni did not dare to neglect him. Perhaps, she still had some instinctive reverence in her heart. She lowered her head and whispered, “Little girl greets the Xu Clan Master.”

Xu Teng sized up Ling Chunni and smiled, “Did Miss Ling rest well last night?”

Ling Chunni nodded and said, “Very good. Thank you, Patriarch Xu, for saving my life yesterday. I am very grateful.”

Xu Teng laughed heartily and waved his hand, “It’s just a simple matter of raising your hand. You don’t need to take it to heart. Speaking of which, I know Shen Shi, and he saved my third brother that day. Everything is righteous.”

Just as they were speaking, a creaking sound suddenly came from the other side of the courtyard. A girl walked out of the east wing. Xu Teng and Ling Chunnie turned around and saw that the girl came over and reported,

“Master, Miss Zhong has already stood up.”

Xu Teng nodded and waved his hand to let this girl down. Then, he smiled at Ling Chunni and said, “Miss Zhong is injured, so I arranged for a maid to serve her. However, it seems that she doesn’t like her very much. So, do you want to come with me to see her?”

Ling Chunni was worried about Zhong Qingzhu. Hearing this, she nodded and agreed. The two of them walked to the east wing door. Xu Teng knocked on the door and announced his name. A moment later, Zhong Qingzhu’s weak voice came from inside the room. He said,

“Please come in.”

The door was empty, Xu Teng pushed open the door with Ling Chunni and said, As soon as she entered, Ling Chunni saw the layout of the room. It was almost identical to her room in the west wing. At this moment, the wounds on Zhong Qingzhu’s body had already been bandaged up. She wore a green velvet cloak and her face was slightly pale. Her beautiful face looked a little haggard, but it seemed to have some soft and gentle beauty that was rarely seen in normal times.

Seeing Xu Teng and Ling Chunni come over, Zhong Qingzhu bowed forward with an apologetic expression and said to Xu Teng, “Uncle Xu, I am injured and am unable to greet them. Please forgive me.”

Xu Teng hurriedly supported him and smiled, “Sit down, sit down, quickly sit down properly. What are these false rituals doing to him?” After saying that, he smiled and said, “Over the past few years, I have long heard of your reputation as a rising star of the Zhong Clan. I wanted to see you earlier, but unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance. Today, I saw you, niece Xian, as expected, as a outstanding person. Her future is limitless.”

Zhong Qingzhu smiled and said, “Uncle, you’re flattering me. Well, about what happened last night, I…”

Xu Teng did not wait for her to finish speaking. He smiled and interrupted, “Don’t worry, niece Xian. Since you told me last night, I will pay attention to it. The family has already forbidden this matter, and no one has been sent to deliver a letter to the Zhong family to avoid worrying Mother. Just stay with me and take good care of your injuries.”

Zhong Qingzhu remained silent for a moment, but a trace of gratitude flashed through his eyes. He whispered, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Xu Teng laughed and said, “It’s just a small matter.” As he spoke, he chatted with the two of them for a while before leaving.

After Xu Teng left, there were only Ling Chunni and Zhong Qingzhu left in the room. The two women looked at each other and did not know what to say. The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent and looked a little embarrassed.

After a while, Ling Chunni slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. After a moment of silence, she whispered, “How is your injury?”

Zhong Qingzhu glanced at her and said, “It’s no big deal. It’s just that there’s more blood. I’ll recover in a few days.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Ling Chunni said.

“Yes.” Zhong Qingzhu agreed softly.

The two of them remained silent for a while.

Just as Zhong Qingzhu felt that he wasn’t used to the awkward atmosphere and was about to say something, he suddenly heard Ling Chunni sitting there and saying, “Qingzhu … Miss, I want to ask you something.”

Zhong Qingzhu said, “Speak.”

Ling Chunni took a deep breath. There was no change in her expression. Everything was as usual. She quietly said, “At the end of last night, put your hand on my neck. If … if Xiao Hei and the Xu Clan hadn’t come to help, would you really strangle me to death?”
