Killing God - Chapter 384
Chapter 384 Let’s Go Together
Xu Xueying cried out in alarm, her cheeks flushed red as she jumped away. Looking at Ling Chunnie with embarrassment and anger, she angrily said to Ling Chunnie, “Sister, what are you doing? Good … what are you doing at home!”
Ling Chunni smiled, but he didn’t care. He stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Xueying to sit down and touched her smooth hair. Although her figure and appearance hadn’t fully grown, the vigorous and youthful aura in her body couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.
She was like a flower bud that was about to usher in the best of times. She looked forward to a beautiful spring with a brilliant mouth. The road ahead was so beautiful. When Ling Chunni’s fingers slid past the ends of her black hair, her eyes were filled with inadvertent sadness and envy.
“I’m just sighing at your young beauty, little sister. I can’t help but feel pity for you.”
Xu Xueying sneaked a glance at her, but she wasn’t really angry. She smiled and blushed. “But I still think that Sister Chunni is more beautiful. I don’t know what words to use to describe you. Perhaps … oh, if only I could be as beautiful as you one day.”
Ling Chunni’s hand stiffened slightly for a moment, then she withdrew it and sighed softly, “Fool, what’s so good about being like me?”
As she said that, she took a deep look at Xu Xueying and said, “Actually, I truly envy you, sister. Your family background is pure and noble, your parents are both complete, and you have the love of your elders. In the end, needless to say, even your future prospects have been arranged for you.”
Xu Xueying shook her head with a smile and said, “What’s there to say? It’s not mine.”
Ling Chunni laughed and gently patted her cheek. Then, her gaze was somewhat blurry, as if her mind had drifted into the distance to recall some past events. After a while, she whispered, “You still don’t understand. Actually, these things are really important to you.”
Xu Xueying shrugged. She didn’t seem to want to talk about this topic anymore. She changed the topic and asked, “Oh right, Sister Chun Ni, why hasn’t Big Brother Shen Shi come back to see you recently?”
When asked, Xu Xueying looked very calm and natural. There was only a pair of clear eyes. However, there was a faint hint of nervous anticipation on his face. However, Ling Chunni apparently did not notice these strange things. After hearing Shen Shi’s name, a trace of longing appeared on her face. She sighed softly and said, “Recently, there has been a major event in the Lingxiao Sect Sect. Oh, I heard that there is going to be a trial examination. Many disciples have to participate, and Shi Shi is no exception.” So it may take some time before I can see him. ”
Xu Xueying was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”
Ling Chunni glanced at her and smiled, “Sister Xue Ying, with your family background, will you join Lingxiao Sect in the future?”
Xu Xueying nodded and said, “That should be the case, right? For many years, all of our Xu Clan’s families who are talented and capable will generally join the sect.” At this point, she seemed to recall something from the past. She suddenly laughed and said to Ling Chunni,
“Oh right, big sister, you know what? Actually, when I was a child, I was almost given away by my mother.”
“Ah?” Ling Chunni was really shocked. As far as she knew, the Xu family’s third elder, Xu Xing, and his wife only had a child like Xu Xueying. How could they send her away?
Seeing Ling Chunnie’s surprised expression, Xu Xueying smiled and said, “Look, even you don’t believe it. But back then, I was only a little bit close. Probably when I was five years old, my mother took me out for a walk one day. It was originally fine, but then she suddenly met a fortune teller on the road.” At this point, Xu Xueying thought for a moment, as if she was recalling something. Then, she stretched out her hand to gesture at Ling Chunnie and said,
“That person is about this tall. I remember that his appearance doesn’t seem to be bad. At first glance, he doesn’t look like a bad person. Oh, right, he has a green pole in his hand with a few words written on it … I forgot. Forget it. Ignore it.” “Originally, when the Prime Minister met my mother, he wanted to cheat her out of a few dollars by fortune telling. But who knew that he would see me later? I heard a maidservant that went with him that day say that when he saw me, the Prime Minister’s expression suddenly changed. He looked very scary and excited. He pointed at me and shouted loudly, scaring us all.”
“That xiangshi is like crazy, talking nonsense over there, I was scared to cry, the other maids are also very scared, all want to leave immediately. But for some reason, my mother, who is usually very cowardly, was confused that day. She actually stood there and talked to the Prime Minister. Not only did she not seem afraid, she also seemed to believe the Prime Minister’s intentions. According to what that Jianghu Xiangshi said, I was born with extraordinary talent. I am the only bone frame among tens of thousands of people. Cultivating an ordinary Dao Art divine ability is simply a waste of natural resources. Only their Zhou Clan … er, it is said that the Xiangshi claimed to be surnamed Zhou. It was said that it was a strange secret technique passed down from their Zhou Clan ancestor. For many years, it was impossible for a young girl who did not have a suitable bone frame to cultivate it. Today, she met me because she was born with a peerless destiny. She even madly said to herself, “Could it be some kind of reincarnation, ancestral prominent sage, or something like that?”
Ling Chunni was dumbfounded when she heard this and said, “What kind of mess is this?”
Xu Xueying smiled and said, “That’s not true. That’s what we all thought that day, but my mother was really a little confused at that time. That Jianghu Xiangshi said that he wanted to take me away, but my mother actually had some hesitant intentions of agreeing.” Fortunately, there was a clever girl beside me at that time. Seeing that the situation was not right, she hurriedly sneaked home and reported to the family’s ancestors, uncles and my father. Her entire body trembled. Everyone rushed over and scolded the Jianghu Xiangshi. My father also scolded my mother fiercely, and it took a long time before she stopped. ”
Ling Chunni shook her head when she heard this and said, “How can I believe such a liar’s words?” However, her heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyes to look at Xu Xueying and said, “But it’s strange. With your family’s power, even if you don’t beat her to death on the spot, you still need to take care of the swindler who kidnapped your direct young miss. Why does it sound like you didn’t let that swindler go so easily?”
“Eh?” Xu Xueying was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Sister, it seems that I only thought of this after you said that. It’s a bit strange. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t let that person off so easily.”
Ling Chunni spread out his hands and said, “Who knows?”
Xu Xueying thought for a while, but she didn’t think of a reason. She put down this thought first and said, “I remember that Xiangshi was shouting something loudly over there before he left. He said yes … oh, right, he said that I am indeed too young to cultivate secret arts. I will definitely return this opportunity when I get a little older in the future.”
Ling Chun laughed out loud and covered his mouth with a smile, “That swindler actually hasn’t given up yet.”
Xu Xueying smiled and shook her head, “No! But for so many years, no one has seen that liar again. Actually, no one will take that person’s crazy words to heart. Anyway, I will go to worship Immortal Rock, go to Jinhong Mountain, and join Lingxiao Sect. At that time …”
Her voice was slightly deep and her eyes flashed. She didn’t know what was going through her mind, but she could only see a gentle smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Black Crow Ridge, deep in the forest.
The mountain breeze blew past the quiet forest, causing a few treetops to shake their fingers. With the light of the sky, the green shadows shook, giving off a vigorous aura of life.
Under the trees in the forest, after the sudden silence, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu stood there. The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became somewhat strange and awkward.
He clearly didn’t say anything and didn’t do anything, but there seemed to be something that had quietly changed.
Perhaps, it was because of the gentleness he saw just now?
Shen Shi didn’t know, or perhaps he was a little distracted and confused at the moment, but he still didn’t want to know. After a while, he coughed dryly and said,
“Uh, Qingzhu, we’ve known each other for so many years. If we walk together in Black Crow Ridge, you can …”
“I believe you!” Zhong Qingzhu suddenly interrupted him and said these words calmly and resolutely.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked at her. Zhong Qingzhu’s cheeks were slightly red, but his gaze no longer showed any intention of hiding or avoiding her. He looked calmly at the man in front of him.
Shen Shi was silent, then nodded his head, but he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the forest.
Xiao Hei followed. As he walked past Zhong Qingzhu, he seemed to be a little curious as he stretched out his nose and sniffed at her feet. Then, he raised his head to look at this beautiful woman. Then, he snorted twice and trotted towards Shen Shi.
Zhong Qingzhu looked at Shen Shi’s back and let out a light breath, as if he felt relieved. He then looked up at the sky and saw that although the sky above the forest was a little gloomy, it seemed to be slightly wider than before. She smiled slightly and bit her lips with a bit of persistence. She bit her lips as if she was cheering herself up and followed behind.
Outside the forest, Ji Anfu was nowhere to be seen. It was unknown whether he had left this place or circled around other parts of the forest. However, neither Shen Shi nor Zhong Qingzhu cared about him. Shen Shi stood there and pondered for a moment. After Zhong Qingzhu came over, his expression had returned to normal. He said to Zhong Qingzhu,
“Qingzhu, according to what you said, the route you took this time wasn’t direct. It was also for the sake of going over there?”
Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, “Yes.”
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before asking, “Where exactly is that place?”
Zhong Qingzhu stretched out her finger and pointed towards the distance. Her lush white fingertips seemed to have crossed the mountain range in an instant, pointing straight towards the depths of the mountain range. Shen Shi looked in that direction. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly and he said,
“Is it the most dangerous place five hundred kilometers away from Ling Xiao City?”
“Yes.” Zhong Qingzhu looked at him and asked, “How about it? Are you going?”
Shen Shi was silent for a moment. He raised his head and saw her calm gaze. Suddenly, a burst of pride surged in his heart. He smiled and said, “Go! You can even go. Why wouldn’t I dare?”
“Let’s go together!”
