Balian suddenly felt that this girl was not only strange, but also very strange and interesting.
Knowing that she was powerful and dangerous, knowing that she was untouchable, he still couldn't help but want to get close and make friends with her.
"You haven't asked the girl for her name yet?"
Perhaps no one has asked her name for many years, because in this world, anyone who sees her dressed in red and carrying two swords can recognize her true identity at a glance.
At this moment, a dazed look appeared in the beautiful almond eyes of the woman in red, and then she smiled and said: "But I only tell my name to friends I can trust. Now, you are not."
Even though there are thousands of people in the world who know her name, there is only one who is worthy of her speaking her own name.
Balian couldn't help but look at her again and said: "Girl..."
"What's the matter?"
Balian hesitated for a moment, and then said honestly: "I want to say, it's really ugly when you smile like that. Can you please stop smiling like that?"
The woman's smile froze slightly. She raised her fingertips and touched the corners of her curled mouth, and then said slowly: "You're used to it, you can't change it."
The moonlight is like a wash, shining coolly.
The group of people finally disappeared into the mountain road.
After a long time, a cursing voice sounded from the empty stone forest.
That person was Jin Sheng, who bid farewell to Bai Lian ten days ago.
He emerged from under a rather hidden boulder and kept rubbing his red right eye.
"Damn it! Why did this female evil star come here! The little corpse demon didn't listen to my advice! I told him not to mess with good-looking women in red clothes, but he was better off! He went to mess with me anyway, and even got into trouble with me. My dear, why do you let me secretly protect you!"
The red right eyelid showed a deep red mark in the shape of a leaf, as if a leaf had hit the eyelid hard.
He lowered his head, looked at the half-withered and half-yellow leaf at his feet, and said melancholy:
"Little corpse demon, please wish yourself well. I have seen people seeking death, but I have never seen someone seeking death like you. If you don't run away after seeing her, you even ask her name. I'm afraid you are not used to jumping out of the coffin. Now, I want to lie back down again."
"But when did the female evil star become so kind? Not only did she save the little corpse demon, but she even gave the precious five-direction ice to the little corpse demon. What happened is very unusual..."
He shuddered violently, and then said with a heavy face: "That woman has a moody temper, and it's not surprising that she does weird things."
"Damn it!" Jinsheng began to curse again, as if he was caught in some extremely difficult decision-making obstacle: "If I eat you, I will offend the person I least want to offend. You are really a disaster for me!"
As he said that, he picked up his sword again and chased towards the mountain road where Bai Lian disappeared.
…
…
Orion's home is not far away, halfway up Kongcang Mountain.
The simple thatched hut is shaded in the woods. Looking from a distance, you can see the smoke of the Miao Miao people at the foot of the mountain.
Balian carefully placed the hunter on a rattan bed outside the hut, staring at the smoke-covered villages and tribes with distant eyes, not knowing what emotions he was feeling in his heart.
The girl stood holding the door and said: "You guys sit down for a while, I will make dinner, I will need it soon."
As evening approached, the scorching sun, which was extremely poisonous to Bai Lian, swayed down the western mountain. The setting sun was like blood, and was gradually swallowed up by darkness.
The woman in red leaned against the old locust tree and looked at the girl who was lame but still busy and sweating profusely preparing dinner for them. She didn't show any intention of going up to help. She just looked down at the small coffin in her hand. .
He looked around with heavy eyes for a moment, seeming to notice that the aura of the kid in the coffin was gradually recovering steadily, and the worry in his almond-shaped eyes also dissipated a bit.
Balian saw that the aura in the small coffin was still a little sluggish, and he suddenly said: "The girl doesn't look like a ghost cultivator, why does she have a little ghost?"
It seemed that the kid in the coffin heard what Balian said, and the coffin shook vigorously to indicate that he wanted to come out.
The woman said softly: "No, you have to have a good rest."
The small coffin was still shaking vigorously.
She had no choice but to gently push the coffin lid open, and the kid in the scarlet bellyband jumped on the ground with two bare feet.
The skin is pale and the black pupils are twice as big as those of ordinary people, with almost no white of the eyes visible.
Although the plump appearance is a bit cute, it still gives people a cold and weird feeling.
When the girl who was always afraid of ghosts saw this scene, her legs that had tried to remain calm softened, and she held on to the wall to barely prevent herself from falling.
She trembled with her lips and said: "Gu... girl, this... this..."
The woman in red closed her eyes slightly and said very lightly: "Oh, this is my son, don't be afraid."
It would be strange not to be afraid.
The girl's face was pale and she ran away into the hut with weak feet: "I'll serve the last dish."
The kid circled around the woman in red, then bit his fingers and trotted towards Bai Lian with his strangely big black eyes open.
The woman in red's face changed slightly and said, "Shou, he can't eat it."
The tone was very concerned, and the object of concern was of course not Bailian, but this kid.
She had not forgotten how painful Shou's reaction was after eating a piece of Balian's meat.
Shou, who had always listened to her words, was still running towards Bai Lian regardless of the situation.
Balian met those dark eyes, and the recovered wound on his arm began to hurt slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to take a step back.
But the kid ran up to him and stopped awkwardly.
Two short, fat hands like plump lotus roots were raised high towards Balian, making a pitiful gesture of begging for a hug.
He was still babbling in his mouth, and his eyes were extremely longing.
The woman in red was shocked.
Jin Sheng, who was watching all this in secret and sweating hard for Bailian, was almost so shocked by this scene that he cursed and dropped the sword in his hand.
Bailian silently raised his head and glanced at the sky.
It was already dark, but during the day, this little devil appeared in the sunshine openly.
And he was not burned by the scorching sun at all, so his true strength was probably far beyond his own.
But what's wrong with him now, looking pitifully begging his father to love and hug him?
Balian was a little speechless, but when he lowered his head and met those strange watery eyes, he actually looked like a deer in a different way.
She couldn't help but feel weak in her heart. She slowly squatted down and placed the open glazed umbrella on the ground. She reached out and placed it under the kid's armpits and picked it up.
The weight of the imp is very light, after all, it is an incorporeal ghost.
The body is cool and feels comfortable in the hand.
He held the kid in his arms, touched the tuft of hair on his forehead, and asked with a smile: "Your name is Shou, right?"
"Err..." Xiao Gui Shou danced his arms and legs in great joy, smiling brightly and innocently, without even looking like a sinister kid.
