Killing God - Chapter 343
Chapter 343 Intimacy
Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised her head and looked at her. Ling Chunni’s expression was calm as if she had just casually asked an ordinary question. She was silent for a while. Then, her lips moved slightly and she was about to reply when Ling Chunni suddenly raised her head. A look of frustration appeared on her face. She shook her head apologetically and smiled at Zhong Qingzhu,
“Aiya, I’m really sorry. I said the wrong thing again.” She sighed and said, “Miss Qingzhu, don’t worry. I’m a stupid person sometimes, so I can say something stupid. If you hadn’t been there to save me a few times yesterday, I would have fallen into the hands of the Beast Alliance. What else can I ask if I’m immortal?”
Zhong Qingzhu took a deep look at the woman in front of him. After a moment of silence, he whispered, “It doesn’t matter.”
Ling Chunni smiled and stretched out her hand. She grabbed Zhong Qingzhu’s hand and said with a smile, “Anyway, the two of us were lucky enough to spend a life and death tribulation together. I wonder if you would be willing to be my friend?” As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation. She whispered, “Actually, I have never had any good friends. Sometimes, I especially want to have a good sister who can talk and chat with me. But … Mm, is that okay?”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment. She didn’t seem to have expected Ling Chunnie to suddenly say such a thing. However, when she looked at Ling Chunni, she saw that this woman was plump and charming. As she spoke and smiled, a natural beauty emerged. Not to mention the man, even Zhong Qingzhu, who was a woman, was slightly moved at this moment.
Suddenly, her heart ached for no reason. For a moment, she thought blankly, “No wonder, no wonder he likes this woman. Or perhaps, is this the kind of woman he likes?”
She was stunned for a moment. She didn’t say anything, but Ling Chunnie misunderstood. She lowered her head slightly, feeling a little ashamed and disappointed. She whispered, “Oh, sorry, I was rude. Miss Qingzhu, you came from a large family and are a direct disciple of the Soaring Firmament Sect. Your future is bright. I, I really … Don’t be angry, just pretend I didn’t say anything …”
Before he could utter the last word, Zhong Qingzhu had already regained her senses. She shook her head and interrupted Ling Chunni, “That’s not the case. We … can be friends.” As she spoke, she smiled. Her smile seemed to be somewhat helpless as she said, “What kind of family background, what kind of status? Actually, my childhood background may not be any better than yours.”
Ling Chunni immediately smiled happily. Obviously, he was very happy to be friends with Zhong Qingzhu. As he spoke to her, he instantly became more intimate. Although Zhong Qingzhu wasn’t used to Ling Chunni’s kindness at first, after a while of chatting, her impression of Ling Chunni gradually changed. She realized that this girl didn’t seem to be exactly what she had thought before, and she actually talked quite well with her.
Or perhaps, he didn’t really have many close friends?
Just like that, Ling Chunni sat beside Zhong Qingzhu’s bed and talked with her for a while. The two of them gradually got to know each other better. However, after a while, Zhong Qingzhu suddenly felt something and lowered his head slightly. He found that Ling Chunni’s hand was still holding his right hand, and that strange feeling came from her hand.
Zhong Qingzhu frowned and looked up at Ling Chunni. “Chunni, your hands are so cold.”
Ling Chunni was stunned. She quickly pulled her hand back from Zhong Qingzhu’s palm and smiled apologetically, “Aiya, I forgot about this. I’m not cold to you, am I?”
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and looked at Ling Chunni with some doubts. “I remember that last night, I felt that your body and palms were very cold. At that time, I thought you were frightened, but why are you still like this?” She looked at Ling Chunni’s clothes and said, “Is it cold?”
Ling Chunni smiled and rubbed his hands together. Then, he put his hands on his mouth and took a deep breath. He smiled and said, “No, I’m fine. There’s no illness or pain on my body. I was born like this, right?” As he said that, he extended his hand to Zhong Qingzhu and smiled, “You should feel it now. Isn’t it a little hotter?”
Zhong Qingzhu reached out and gently held onto Ling Chunni’s palm. She felt that the warmth on her palm was indeed a little warmer than before. However, the warmth was so fragile that it could not conceal the layer of coldness in the deeper depths, like water and ice.
Zhong Qingzhu held her hand and paused for a moment, then smiled and said, “Yes, I feel much better.”
Ling Chunni chuckled with a trace of gentleness and cunning pride on her face. Just as she was about to say something, a familiar male voice came from the courtyard outside their room. It carried a trace of anxiety and anxiety as she shouted loudly,
“Spring mud, spring mud, are you here?”
Inside and outside the bed, the two women trembled at the same time.
Ling Chunni suddenly jumped up. At that moment, it was as if a ray of light was blooming from her face. Her entire body lit up a little. That smile of joy suddenly bloomed like a flower.
She abruptly turned around and quickly ran towards the door. She pulled open the door and the light outside fell. In the outer courtyard, on the bluestone road, a man stood there and turned around to see that it was Shen Shi.
“Stone!”
Ling Chunni cheered and jumped out. His expression was filled with excitement and joy. Even a faint mist appeared in his eyes. Shen Shi also walked over immediately after seeing Ling Chunni. The two of them met on the road in the small courtyard. Ling Chunni smiled and rushed over. Shen Shi opened his arms and hugged her. Finally, he was relieved and laughed out loud.
Snuggling in that familiar and warm embrace, Ling Chunni instantly felt exceptionally satisfied and assured. It was as if the yearning for him these past few days had suddenly become insignificant at this moment. As long as he could be in his embrace, it would be enough.
She smiled and closed her eyes. She tightly hugged Shen Shi’s waist with both of her hands, as if she was greedy as she pressed herself close to his body, breathing in the warmth of his aura. Shen Shi also smiled and hugged her. He gently touched her long hair and patted her back.
After whispering a few words, he accidentally looked up and was suddenly stunned.
At the end of the stone path, in the east wing room, on the bed in the open door, there was an injured and slightly haggard woman leaning against the bed. Her face was pale as she stared blankly at the scene from the other side.
In an unseen place, her palm quietly grabbed a corner of her cloak and slowly clenched it tightly until the joints turned white and fell deeply into her skin.

After a long time of separation and reunion, such a dangerous thing happened in the middle. It was almost impossible for them to see each other again. Whether it was Shen Shi or Ling Chunni, they were somewhat afraid. However, it was still fine. Everything seemed to be safe and sound now. Shen Shi first came in to thank Zhong Qingzhu and then asked her about her injuries with concern. Zhong Qingzhu looked as calm as usual and only said that he was fine.
Shen Shi hurriedly arrived here. As soon as they arrived, they hurriedly came over to see the two of them. Although there were still a lot of questions in his heart that he wanted to say to the two women, Including Ling Chunni’s body, Zhong Qingzhu’s injuries and why Zhong Qingzhu appeared in the secluded cabin, However, now was not the time for him to elaborate. After arriving at the Xu Clan, he still had to pay a visit to the seniors of the Xu Clan. After all, it was them who saved Ling Chunnie and Zhong Qingzhu this time. What a great favor.
Therefore, after seeing Ling Chunni and Zhong Qingzhu and confirming that they were indeed safe and sound, Shen Shi said a few words to them before turning back to the living room of the Xu Clan’s front hall, where Xu Teng was already waiting for him.
The two of them sat down. Thank you and laugh, Xu Teng was very friendly to this young man. “Brother Shen, you also understand the current situation. There’s no need for me to say anything else. Miss Ling had better stay here recently. First, she should recover from her injuries. Second, she should be safe and avoid being found by that villain from the Beast Alliance.”
Shen Shi pondered for a moment, but he did not act pretentious. He nodded his head and cupped his fists, saying, “This will disturb Senior Xu. Shen Shi will definitely repay this kindness in the future.”
Xu Teng laughed, Brother Shen waved his hand and said, “Brother Shen is too courteous. It’s just a matter of effort. Besides, the Beast Alliance injured my third brother first. Our Xu Clan was originally going to deal with them, but this is just the beginning. Next, we need to eradicate the roots of this group of criminals from Floating Cloud City and return this city with a bright future.”
Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, “Senior, if this is really the case, I might be able to do a little bit to repay the kindness of your family.”
Xu Teng smiled and shook his head. He extended his hand to signal for him to sit down. He smiled and said, “Jumping Beam Clown, why bother you, Brother Shen? There’s no need for that.”
Shen Shi pleaded a few more times. Xu Teng only smiled and refused. All he said was to let Shen Shi and Ling Chunni rest here properly. Shen Shi was helpless and could only accept his kind intentions. At the same time, if there was anything that could be used to obtain him, please don’t be polite, Patriarch Xu.
After this conversation, the relationship between the two of them felt quite close. Shen Shi sat down for a while and then got up to bid farewell. Afterwards, he went to the backyard to visit Xu Xing. After his previous injuries, Xu Xing looked much older. However, his spirit was not bad, Seeing Shen Shi come over, he was also very happy. After pulling him for a while, he finally told him that the Xu Clan would naturally handle the matter of dealing with the Beast Alliance without Shen Shi interfering. The Xu Clan had inadvertently kept a low profile for too long. If they could properly display their fangs this time, they would be able to let the other aristocratic clans in Floating Cloud City see this clearly.
At this point, Xu Xing also smiled and praised Shen Shi. He only said that Shen Shi had a great future ahead of him, and the Xu Clan was also happy. After all, they were all considered friends. Shen Shi smiled and agreed. After sitting for a while, he stood up and said goodbye. Xu Xing did not force him to stay. He called for someone to send him off.
Just as he reached the door, Shen Shi was about to walk out when a silhouette flashed outside the door. A beautiful girl with snow skin and ice muscles walked in and shouted, “Father!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Shen Shi walking out. She was stunned for a moment before a smile flashed across her lips. Under the sky, the young girl smiled brightly and softly said,
“Hello, Brother Shen.”
