Killing God - Chapter 344

Chapter 344 Warm
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He immediately recognized the outstanding looking girl in front of him as Xu Xing’s daughter, Xu Xueying, whom he had seen a few days ago. Although it was only a one-sided encounter, the last time in the Xu Clan’s living room, this young girl’s words and actions, especially her actions of knowing whether to kneel down to save her mother, left a deep impression on him. Shen Shi also had a good impression of Xu Xueying, this girl.

Seeing that she was smiling at him, Shen Shi hurriedly bowed and gave way, smiling, “So it’s Miss Xu. I haven’t seen her for a long time. How have you been recently?”

Xu Xueying’s eyes were as bright as water. Seeing that she was in a good mood, she nodded and smiled, “I’m fine. Brother Shen, what about you? Why did you suddenly come to our house today?”

Just as Shen Shi was about to reply, he heard Xu Xing’s voice coming from the back room. However, he heard his daughter’s voice. At this moment, he raised his voice from the back bed and said, “Xiao Ying, don’t be rude. What kind of big brother do you call yourself at such a young age? Brother Shen is father’s savior. You have to call him uncle.”

Xu Xueying pursed her lips when she heard this. She looked a little reluctant, and it seemed that she was doted on by Xu Xing normally. She didn’t have any intentions of being too afraid of this old man. She only snorted slightly and pouted, “What uncle is he? He is clearly not a few years older than me?”

Xu Xing sat on the bed and was furious. He patted the mattress and shouted, “What did you say? Do you still have any manners? Brother Shen can’t laugh at you! Your mother spoils you so much that you don’t have any rules.”

Shen Shi was shocked. He hurriedly turned around and waved his hand at Xu Xing. He smiled and said, “Third Master Xu, please calm down. There is no need to be angry about such a trivial matter.” “Actually, I am only a few years older than Miss Xue Ying. Besides, in the past, when I was on Golden Rainbow Mountain, I was on par with Sun You, but he wanted to call you uncle. If you really want to say it, Miss Xue Ying can’t call me big brother too much. It should have been like this, it should have been like this!”

Xu Xing’s expression turned a little better when he said those words. However, he looked at his daughter angrily and glared at her unhappily. However, Xu Xueying smiled sweetly, but she didn’t show the slightest bit of fear. She only smiled and asked Shen Shi, “Big Brother Shen, you haven’t told me yet, why are you here today?”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. He thought that Miss Xue Ying was also a member of the Xu Clan. She didn’t count as an outsider, so he roughly recounted what had happened. Xu Xue Ying heard this and said, “Ah!” Looking at the worried expression on her face, she immediately said, “I see. By the way, Big Brother Shen, are you going back to the Western Garden to see those two injured sisters?”

Shen Shi nodded and smiled in agreement. Then, he turned around and said to Xu Xing in the room, “Third Master Xu, take good care of your injuries. I’ll come see you after a while.”

Xu Xing smiled and cupped his hands.

When Shen Shi walked out of the house, he only took about ten steps away. Suddenly, he heard footsteps rushing from behind. Turning around, Xu Xueying ran over and said, “Big Brother Shen, our house occupies quite a lot of land and there are many courtyard corridors. It’s hard for outsiders to recognize the road when they first came here. Furthermore, the Western Garden is not too close to here. Let me take you back.”

When Shen Shi thought about it, this was really the case. The Xu Clan’s mansion had been inherited for hundreds of years and had undergone countless extensions and renovations. If it weren’t for the people who had lived here for a long time, it would have been easy for them to get lost. Shen Shi originally wanted to go to the front courtyard of the mansion and find another servant to inquire about the direction of the western courtyard. However, he did not expect that although Xu Xueying was only a girl in her early teens, she was a well-thought-out person. She actually thought of this level. She immediately smiled and nodded. She cupped her hands and said to Xu Xueying,

“This is the best. I have already thanked Miss Xue Ying.”

Xu Xueying pursed her lips and led him forward. At the same time, she smiled and said, “Brother Shen, what is the relationship between those two sisters and you?”

Shen Shi paused for a moment and hesitated for a moment before saying, “One of them is my junior sister from the same sect, and the other is my … good friend.”

“Oh.” Xu Xueying nodded without saying anything else.

The two of them passed through the hall and walked through several corridors. They also walked through a garden in winding winds. After about a moment, Xu Xueying brought Shen Shi back to the Western Garden.

Shen Shi looked at the road and thought to himself that the Xu Clan was indeed worthy of being a hundred-year-old aristocratic clan. This large mansion was truly extravagant and luxurious. There were more than one path leading to this place. However, this path seemed to be due to coming from the backyard. It was more winding and took a bit longer to walk than the last time.

At the same time, when Ling Chunnie heard Shen Shi and the others’ movements in the western courtyard, she quickly reacted. She leaned out from the east wing and saw that it was Shen Shi. She immediately revealed a happy smile and waved her hand at the door.

Shen Shi walked over with a smile. Ling Chunnie smiled at him first, then her gaze fell on Xu Xueying who was following behind Shen Shi. She was stunned for a moment and asked Shen Shi, “Shi Shi, this girl is …”

Only then did Shen Shi realize that Xu Xueying did not leave immediately. For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed. He hurriedly smiled and introduced her, “Oh, this is the daughter of the Xu Clan’s Third Master, Miss Xue Ying. I went to visit him once. Miss Xue Ying brought me back.”

‘”Ah!” Ling Chunnie was just about to speak when she saw Xu Xueying walk up without any fear of life. She looked at Ling Chunnie and smiled, “This must be Sister Chunnie. I’m Xu Xueying.” Previously, I had thought about what kind of woman my friend with Brother Shen would be. Now that I’ve seen her, my sister is indeed a beauty of heaven and earth. I’ve seen a great beauty that I feel pity for. ”

Ling Chunni’s cheeks reddened slightly. However, she did not expect that this noble and handsome girl in front of her would actually have such a sweet mouth. However, every woman always had a heart for beauty. Not to mention being praised by a girl like Xu Xueying in front of her, her heart was filled with joy. However, she was still a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, “Sister, are you joking? Actually, you are a natural beauty.”

Xu Xueying walked to her side and pulled her hand and laughed. In just a few words, the two of them seemed to have gotten closer. Shen Shi was also dumbfounded when he saw the door behind them open. He could vaguely see Zhong Qingzhu still sitting on the bed and entered the room first.

Seeing Shen Shi walk in, Zhong Qingzhu’s expression was faint. He didn’t have any more expressions on his face. He only looked at him silently before turning his gaze to himself.

Shen Shi walked to the side of the bed and pulled a round stool to sit down. Just as he wanted to say something, he saw Zhong Qingzhu’s silent and calm expression, which was even slightly rejecting people thousands of miles away. Suddenly, he had a feeling that he didn’t know what to say. He was somewhat confused and somewhat embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat cold. The two of them sat very close, but they did not speak for a moment. Not far from the door, Ling Chunni and Xu Xueying were standing together, talking nonstop. From time to time, two beautiful women laughed softly like silver bells. It seemed that in a short period of time, they had really become friends with similar temperaments.

Inside and outside the room, the atmosphere was completely different.

Shen Shi furrowed his brows and felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to say something to alleviate the unexpected awkward atmosphere in front of him, Zhong Qingzhu looked out the door. A trace of gloom flashed through his eyes and he said softly,

“She is indeed very beautiful, and she has a good temper and is gentle, so everyone will like her, even the little girl who only saw her for the first time today, right?”

“Mm” Shen Shi subconsciously replied casually. However, a moment later, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly said, “Chun Ni is such a person. In fact, you are much stronger than her in other aspects.” As he spoke, he smiled, then casually bent his fingers and said with a smile,

‘”You really are. Why would you want to compare with her? Your appearance is not inferior to hers, and your family background surpasses hers. Not to mention in terms of cultivation, even I can’t compare to you in terms of talent, talent, future, and Dao techniques. Not to mention her? If I were to say, you are a bit too easy to win!”

After saying that, Zhong Qingzhu laughed. After a moment of silence, a trace of a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded his head gently. It seemed to be somewhat cheerful and relaxed the atmosphere in the room. However, deep within the smile, a trace of bitterness rose and fell in the depths of his unseen heart.

④

In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, and it was already nightfall.

Under the kind invitation of the Xu Clan, Shen Shi stayed in the Western Garden for the night. A few candles lit up in the darkness of the night, lighting up the room in the Eastern Chamber and Western Chamber.

In the west wing room, Ling Chunni, who had finally had some time to herself, hugged Shen Shi for a long time and then whispered about what happened yesterday from beginning to end. Shen Shi was still a little scared after hearing this and gently hugged her. He was still puzzled about this matter in his heart. However, he didn’t have the time to think about it and casually told the Ling Chun Clay Xu Clan that they were planning to take action against the Beast Alliance.

‘”Is this true? If it’s true, as long as the Beast Alliance is eliminated, I won’t have to hide anymore.” Ling Chunni said happily.

Shen Shi smiled and nodded. “That should be the case. I originally wanted to ask Clan Head Xu if he could let me join in when he attacked the Beast Alliance. It could also be considered as repaying their kindness to you. However, Clan Head Xu rejected him. Sigh, this favor is a bit big. It won’t be easy to return it in the future.”

Ling Chunni shook her head and sighed. She looked at him worriedly and said, “Stone, is it because of me …”

Shen Shi hurriedly interrupted her with a smile and shook his head, “It has nothing to do with you. No matter how big or heavy a favor is, can it still be stronger than your life? As long as you’re fine, it’s best.”

Ling Chunni bit her lower lip and stared at Shen Shi. Suddenly, she hugged him deeply and buried her head in his chest. She just hugged him like this without saying a word. Shen Shi smiled and patted her head, saying, “Alright, alright, it’s good that you’re fine.”

Ling Chunni straightened her body with some shyness. She turned around and quietly rubbed her eyes. After waiting for a while, she felt that her mood had calmed down a little. She turned around and saw Shen Shi sitting at the side of the table in the room. He took off the Ruyi bag at his waist and placed a lot of things on the table. Some of them were glittering with beautiful light.

At the same time, Shen Shi waved to her and said, “Chun Ni, come over.”

Ling Chunni walked to his side and sat down, “What are you doing?”

Shen Shi said, “I plan to go out for a hunt tomorrow morning. I want to tidy up my talisman items a little.” As he spoke, he swept dozens of translucent spirit crystals from the table into a pile and pushed them in front of Ling Chunni. “Right now, you might have to stay with the Xu Clan for a while, but you still need to bring some spirit crystals with you. Take these first.”

Ling Chunni hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright.”

As he spoke, the corner of his eyes suddenly turned to the side. Behind another pile of spirit crystals, he saw something that seemed to be different. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand curiously and picked it up. He took a closer look, but it was a dark black and strange black crystal stone. The tiny silver dots seemed to be endlessly embellished within it, like the endless stars in the deepest darkness of the night sky.

“Eh? What is this thing?” She asked curiously.

Shen Shi glanced over and was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “A useless thing. I don’t know what use it is.”

Ling Chunni looked at the black crystal curiously. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something. She clasped her hands together and held the black crystal in her palm. She was pleasantly surprised and happy. She smiled and said to Shen Shi,

“Ah, this jingshi is so warm!”
