Lin Xi wanted to turn her head for a moment, but found that her body was unable to move, as if it was petrified, and she couldn't even move a finger.
Panic surged uncontrollably in her heart - the magic weapon she carried with her was enough to restrain most of the evil spirits below the sixth level, but she was completely unaware of the existence of the chuckling person behind her, and was instead attacked by him. Being easily restrained only shows that this person's cultivation level is at least above the seventh level "Yin Shen" realm!
"Hehe, that annoying old black dog next to you shouldn't be snooping into your dreams, right? Oops, it's hard to wait until today for me to have a chance to talk to you alone!"
The man's voice was very neutral, with both the strength of a man and the softness of a woman - this was definitely not his real voice.
Lin Xi judged from the tone of the person's words that the probability of this guy being a woman was higher.
Several thoughts quickly passed through her mind——
This sneaky dream seems to be created for Jiang Chen, but is the real purpose actually to lure this young lady into a dream?
What role does Jiang Chen play in this? A pawn to be used, or an accomplice in this man's conspiracy?
This person knows my identity and still dares to attack me. The power behind it is by no means ordinary.
Is it a warning from the Gao family, or revenge from relatives and friends of the Xue family and Qingming Palace?
"Who are you and what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Xi wanted to ask this question, but couldn't open her mouth.
What worried her most happened - this person didn't intend to talk to her in words at all, but took action directly.
She watched helplessly as she was like a puppet on strings, making stiff and dull movements that made her extremely embarrassed and angry.
She slowly raised her right hand, and her five fingers tremblingly hooked up the laces of her clothes.
At this time, Jiang Chen realized that something was wrong with Lin Xi's behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
'Didn't he notice the person behind me? Lin Xi was extremely panicked.
It would be okay if she was alone. She guessed that the person behind it was a woman. Although it was humiliating to be teased, it was still within the tolerance range.
But now there was a young man in front of her, and this embarrassing behavior made her unable to control her emotions.
She bit her lip, full of confusion, her hands and feet were not in control, and she was angry and angry. She secretly swore that if she knew who dared to tease her like this, she would cut him into pieces!
Jiang Chen looked at her movements in confusion: "Miss Lin, is it hot now?"
This sincere question sounded like a joke to Lin Xi at this moment. Her eyes immediately became a little more annoyed, thinking that this kid might be in the same group as the person behind her?
Lin Xi's fingers continued to move disobediently. She was so anxious that she wanted to jump, but she couldn't even blink her eyes.
Jiang Chen looked a little dazed, thinking to himself that this girl looked elegant and dignified during the day, but she didn't expect to be so relaxed in her dreams... The night wind here is blowing to the bones, isn't she afraid of the cold?
Is she trying to seduce this young hero?
In a dream, it should be regarded as... a divine friendship?
Even though this was in a dream, even though she had some friendship with this young hero, even though she was very beautiful... it wouldn't be appropriate in such a wilderness, right?
Jiang Chen thought like this, took two steps back, and said sternly: "Miss Lin, don't be like this, it's windy here, be careful of catching a cold!"
Lin Xi was ashamed and hateful, wishing she could hit the damn guy in front of her to death. There was a begging look in her clear eyes, covered with a layer of smoke, and her tears were glistening.
Jiang Chen realized something was wrong and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
A gust of cold wind blew through the wasteland at this moment, ruffling the grass and shrubs, brushing against his cheek, and making his forehead feel cold. In a moment of trance, a familiar figure jumped into his eyes, and then he suddenly woke up. .
Tears finally fell from Lin Xi's eyes. Her body began to fade away like a white shadow, breaking into specks of light and dispersing in the air, leaving only the faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingering around Jiang Chen's nose.
Jiang Chen looked at the tears falling on the ground, feeling disappointed.
Another delicate figure in light green came closer and smiled: "You obviously wanted to reach out and catch those tears, why did you give up in the end?"
This person is dressed in green clothes, has a delicate face, and a sweet smile like an elf at night. He is the Peach Blossom Assassin.
Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold and he said solemnly, "It turns out it was you."
The girl in green clothes clasped her hands behind her back and said in a soft and playful voice like a coquette: "Don't get me wrong, those sneaky things in front have nothing to do with me. I was just joining in the fun. In the end, I saw that you two were in love with each other. It was a coincidence. I’m just helping you to match up. Why, aren’t you satisfied?”
Jiang Chen said coldly: "Do you think that as long as you are stronger than others, you can manipulate others at will like the superior gods and Buddhas?"
"Oh - you blame me again now?" the girl in green clothes protracted her tone, "But when you feasted your eyes just now, you didn't seem to be uncomfortable or resisting, right?"
Jiang Chen's momentum was suffocated.
I heard the girl in green clothes say again: "Yesterday, I said that if you are interested in her, you can play a hero saving the beauty with me, and I will ensure that you easily win the heart of the beauty. But you, you are still holding on to that pedantic attitude The boring Taoist teacher has been unable to make up his mind. Now that he has feasted his eyes, it’s time to start to understand! What do you think, do you want to cooperate with me and make sure you make money?"
"What exactly is your purpose?"
The girl's eyes became extremely deep in an instant, and she smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, what I want has nothing to do with you."
"Is that related to Miss Lin?" Jiang Chen looked at her and said solemnly, "I can only say I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in your grudges!"
"You still can't trust me? Tell me what you are worried about."
"I never expect good things to fall from the sky. Besides, I don't like your methods. You might as well put yourself in your shoes and think about it, how would you feel if someone else did this to you?"
The girl in green clothes blinked her eyelids twice and said in an understated tone: "It's nothing. The world is a place where the weak prey on the strong. If someone treats me like this, I will take it."
"That's easy to say! So if you were the one who was played with just now, and you feasted my eyes on me, don't you think it's nothing?"
The girl in green clothes raised her head in surprise, her slender eyes narrowed, and she studied Jiang Chen's expression.
After a long time, the curve of her lips became more and more obvious, and she said leisurely: "Are you teasing me?"
There was no displeasure in her tone, but it made Jiang Chen instinctively feel dangerous. It was like standing on the beach before a tsunami, and I felt inexplicably creepy.
"I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable. But I just want to tell you that I have no enmity with Miss Lin, and I don't want to use such despicable means to deal with her..."
The girl in green clothes stretched out a finger and interrupted Jiang Chen: "I understand. It's unreasonable to talk to people like you."
"ah?"
"Wasting so much saliva, there is actually no need to be so complicated. Let me ask you a question now: Do you want to die or live?"
"..."
"I am a very reasonable person, but when I encounter someone who is cheating like you, I have to go back to the simplest question - death or life, there are two answers, you choose one!"
"Who can't tell the truth and then cheat?"
"Don't go off topic, give me the answer quickly." The girl in green clothes tilted her head slightly, with bright eyes and a smile.
Who could know how many dead souls she had buried with her delicate white jade hands with that innocent and pure smile!
"Of course I want to live."
"Then you just promised me..."
Jiang Chen pondered and said, "Can you give me a few days of grace so that I can think about it carefully?"
"How long will it take?"
"When I figure it out, I will give you the answer naturally."
The girl in green clothes snorted softly: "When will it take you to figure it out? It could be three to five days at least, or a year and a half at most? Do you still want to go home and ask the elders for advice, and then go to the temple to ask the Bodhisattva?" "
"It's great that you can be so considerate of me. I really want to go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva..."
"Three days! I'll give you three days to think about it. I'll come back to you in three days!"
"Isn't three days a little short?"
"It's not short anymore. No matter how long it is, it will only increase worries." The girl in green clothes covered her mouth and yawned, her eyes became hazy, "I'm sleepy, let's take a nap first..."
The aftertaste of her words drifted away, and her figure disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Then, the surrounding wilderness scenery began to distort, as if the curtain was torn apart, and pieces of it were shattered and dissipated.
Behind the curtain was boundless darkness, sweeping over and engulfing Jiang Chen's consciousness. Then he opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was standing on the street, having just woken up from a nightmare.
The moonlight is like water, and the night is still long.
Occasionally, a dog barks in the distance, and there are also the footsteps of a wanderer who has not returned home at night walking through the street.
Jiang Chen was in a daze for a moment, comparing the scenes in his dream, and finally confirmed that he was back in the human world.
Everything I saw and heard in the dream was vivid in my mind, and the light laughter of the girl in green clothes seemed to still be in my ears.
How serious is her threat to this young hero?
Let's get some sleep first and worry about it tomorrow.
Jiang Chen returned the same way, his soul returned to its original position, tossing and turning for a moment, and with gentle breathing, he fell into a dreamless sleep.
He slept very soundly until noon the next day, when he vaguely heard someone talking outside the door, and then he woke up leisurely. He felt refreshed and all the fatigue from yesterday was gone.
He heard Xu Huqiu standing outside the door and reporting: "Miss, One-Eyed Tiger set out from Baihua Tower and brought more than a hundred people from the Song Gang to come here!"
Miss Gao's voice sounded outside the door: "Who is this one-eyed tiger? Does he have any grudge against us?"
Xu Huqiu said: "Among the group of thieves that Young Master Jiang killed yesterday, there was an old man Song who played the flute. He was the leader of the Song Gang. He had an adopted son, nicknamed "One-Eyed Tiger". I heard that he drank too much yesterday. He lay in the hook bar all day, so he didn't go with Old Man Song. He just woke up this morning. He must have come to seek revenge on Young Master Jiang. "
Miss Gao asked: "How is this guy's martial arts skills?"
"This man is good at martial arts. He is at the fifth level of "Marrow Cleansing". He is proficient in swordsmanship. He is one of the "Five Tigers of Western Liao" and is Jiang Shaoxia's strong enemy. "Xu Huqiu's tone was quite solemn.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier! We should have stabbed him while he was drunk yesterday to avoid leaving so many troubles!"
"Miss, I'm sorry, there were so many things that happened yesterday that I couldn't remember at the moment..."
"Useless thing! You go out and deal with the one-eyed tiger first, and I'll tell Jiang Chen to get up!"
The one-eyed tiger came very quickly.
As soon as Jiang Chen washed up and went downstairs, he heard a loud and noisy sound coming from outside, mixed with shouts and curses, and many people were approaching in a hurry.
Two screams rang out, and several gang members guarding the door were slaughtered without much resistance.
Immediately after the "boom" sound, half of the wall of the restaurant was kicked down, causing the lobby to scream in surprise.
"Which bastard harmed my adoptive father, get out of here!" The hoarse roar of the one-eyed tiger came from outside. It was so menacing that the tables and chairs in the restaurant buzzed and trembled.
The members of the Black Sand Gang were so scared that their faces turned pale and they all shrank back.
Xu Huqiu hid at the door and watched, being squeezed back by the returning gang members.
He turned around and called out: "Is Young Master Jiang here?"
Jiang Chen walked to the table and sat down. He picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said, "Tell the one-eyed tiger that I haven't had breakfast yet. Ask him to wait. Don't worry. I'll finish my meal." Just get out.”
"Uh, okay..."
The one-eyed tiger continued to shout outside. The door of the restaurant was surrounded by a group of fierce-looking men, and the noise was piercing.
Xu Huqiu squeezed over and said a few words, but was drowned in the insults of many villains, and was almost hit by a hidden weapon.
Xu Huqiu retreated in embarrassment and reported back to Jiang Chen: "He refused and said that if the young hero doesn't go out, he will come in!"
Jiang Chen sat on the chair, took a sip of the soup, and said: "There are too many people outside. If you let that one-eyed tiger come in alone, I will challenge him to a duel!"
Xu Huqiu learned the lesson this time and did not go out in person. Instead, he found a gang member to pass the message on his behalf.
The unlucky gang member quickly conveyed the one-eyed tiger's answer with a scream.
Xu Huqiu reported accordingly: "Young hero, he still refuses!"
Jiang Chen said: "Since you don't have the guts to come in, just wait until I finish eating."
The one-eyed tiger's curses came one after another. Xu Huqiu listened for a while, and his face changed slightly: "He said that if Jiang Shaoxia doesn't go out, he will set the building on fire!"
"Let him burn!" Miss Gao, who was sitting next to Jiang Chen, waved her hand, "Even if the sky falls, I have to wait until Jiang Chen finishes eating!"
Xu Huqiu suddenly panicked. This restaurant was his biggest capital and he had worked hard for a long time to reach its current scale. If it was burned down, it would be worse than killing him.
What made him even more guilty was that he originally felt that Jiang Chen had little chance of winning - after all, the opponent was one of the "Five Tigers of Western Liao". Although the One-Eyed Tiger ranked last among the Five Tigers, he was also a genuine fifth-level "Marrow Cleansing" Master.
Although Jiang Shaoxia once received three palms from the "Evil Tiger" Uncle Yan, martial arts competitions are one thing, and life and death fights are another. The One-Eyed Tiger will not follow the rules of Jiang Shaoxia.
Moreover, the One-Eyed Tiger has always been impulsive and reckless. It is very likely that he does not recognize Miss Gao's identity. He just wants to kill Jiang Chen. What if this guy is capable of killing and kills the charming Miss Gao as well? Then Xu Someone can only walk away into the desert anonymously.
There is a secret passage in the cellar leading to West Street. How about sneaking out and reporting to Mr. Chai?
