Ruoxue's chest was bright red. Although she was no longer bleeding, the poison had begun to spread and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Ling Ning stretched out his hand and hesitated. He told himself that he was saving her life and not taking advantage...
I don't know if it was because he was too nervous, but his hands were shaking a bit. He swallowed, and slowly reached out to untie the skirt of her chest bit by bit, revealing a piece of snow-white skin in front of his eyes. Within reach, it is as warm and snow-white as mutton-fat white jade, smoother and softer than the most expensive silk in the world... But the white jade is not flawless. There is a wound on it. Fortunately, it is not serious, but the wound after poisoning The black energy is very conspicuous.
He used the greatest perseverance to force himself to turn his attention to the wound on her left chest, and then carefully placed his palm on the breast not far from the wound... This move seemed to affect her wound, if Xue Chi unconsciously let out a "嘤四" in pain, which made Ling Ning's heartbeat speed up uncontrollably.
He kept reciting the Taoist "Qingxin Jue" in his heart: "The pure heart is like water, and the clear water is the heart. There is no breeze, and the waves are calm. Youhuang sits alone, whistling and playing the piano. Zen is still in concentration, and the poisonous dragon escapes..."
But even so, his eyes couldn't help but stay on the white patch of snow on Ruoxue's chest, and he couldn't move away for a long time...
When the blood in her wound turned red, he removed his palm with the determination of a strong man cutting off his wrist, bandaged her wound, and then re-opened her meridians to remove toxins from her body. He did not stop until her face became rosy again.
Ling Ning let out a long breath. His forehead was covered with sweat when he touched it. Even his heartbeat was beating hard, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle! He paused briefly, took out a new piece of clothing and covered her, and finally sat cross-legged next to her and began to exercise and regulate his breathing.
Not long after, he suddenly heard the sound of Ruoxue's teeth chattering from the cold. After checking, he found that her clothes were soaked again. Only then did he realize that the coldness in this strange mist was too strong, which was why she was so cold. Her clothes were soaked, and it was possible that she had not woken up for so long because she had accumulated too much yin energy in her body that could not be discharged.
But why is there nothing wrong with him? After thinking about it, it is probably because the "Shen Transformation Art" absorbs and refines the cold air for its own use during its operation.
Thinking of this, he thought of Qian Mei'er again, wondering if she and Fan Ji had escaped...
When he thought of Qian Meier, he wanted to fly to her side immediately, but now he didn't know where she was, which was really annoying.
He leaned Ruoxue's body against his, and then continued to close his eyes and regulate his breathing. If he wanted to leave this thick fog, he should wait until the woman woke up. Carrying her around would always be a burden.
About an hour later, Ruoxue woke up. When she found herself lying in Ling Ning's arms with her clothes disheveled, she was instantly panicked! She pushed Ling Ning away with a flushed face and said angrily: "You...you prodigal son! How dare you be rude to me, I'm going to kill you!"
She drew her sword regardless of her injuries, but the clothes she was wearing slipped off quietly, revealing a large area of snow-white skin, which attracted Ling Ning's eyes to look over unconsciously.
Ruoxue was even more ashamed and angry. She exclaimed and quickly reached out to grab her clothes, but the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Ling Ning smiled bitterly and said, "I just bandaged your wounds and didn't do anything else! We are all practitioners, so you don't have so many worldly taboos, right?"
Although what he said makes sense, women are unreasonable, and Ruoxue is no exception!
She said angrily: "Did I ask you to bandage it for me? Who asked you to make your own decisions? You damn thief! I can't wait to kill you! Give me back my innocence! I'll fight you!"
Seeing how excited she was, Ling Ning said quickly: "Hey, hey, hey, don't be so impulsive, okay? We are still trapped in the fog. Whether we can get out alive is a question! When we get out of this fog, what do you think? It’s up to you to fight me as hard as you want, but now I don’t have the energy to play around with you.”
"You said I... was joking? I'll show you how I went to the Qing Sect..."
Before she finished speaking, her expression changed. It was obviously because the wound was being affected and causing pain.
"Look, look, you are asking for trouble! When you are angry, you might as well sit down and have a good rest. Once you have rested, we should find a way to get out of here."
"Hmph! Who wants to come up with ideas with you? You thief!"
Although she said this, her body honestly sat down with her legs crossed and adjusted her breathing.
After a while, Ling Ning saw that she had almost adjusted her breathing and asked, "You seem to hate us from the moment we met today, just because of those scum? Is that the case?"
Ruoxue opened her eyes and looked at him fiercely: "Who said it was because of those scum?"
Ling Ning smiled and said, "Are you finally willing to admit that they are scum?"
Ruoxue snorted and turned her head, closing her eyes and not answering.
"Hey, don't say anything. I really want to know the reason! It's because I helped you bandage..."
"You still said that!" Ruoxue turned around and looked at him angrily.
Ling Ning had no choice but to raise her hands and surrender: "Okay, okay! Let's not mention this matter anymore. Just pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, it is indeed the case..."
"you!"
Ling Ning made a helpless expression, as if to say: "What exactly do you want from me?"
Ruoxue looked at him for a while, and then sighed. After all, her life was indeed saved by the guy in front of her, and she had to admit it.
"Hey, tell me, why?"
Ruoxue sighed again, then met his eyes and said seriously: "You really don't know?"
"That's ridiculous, how would I know?"
"Then the little demon fox didn't tell you anything?"
"What are you talking about? Don't scream like a little demon fox. It's very rude."
Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him, obviously omitting this sentence automatically, "Nangong Hong, do you still remember this name?"
Ling Ning nodded and said, "Yes, isn't that the girl in red who is with you? By the way, where is she? I didn't see her this time. Isn't she with you?"
Ruoxue sneered: "Do you know how that little demon fox dealt with my poor sister Hong?"
"I told you to be more respectful when you speak!" Ling Ning was dissatisfied, but still tried hard to recall the situation that day, "That day, Nangong Hong fell into Meier's trick of luring the enemy and was the first to lose sight...after that...there was no trace after that..." I've met her, and I asked Mei'er about it, but Mei'er only said that she would teach her a little lesson, but didn't say what it was, so what? Is there anything wrong? "
Although Nangong Hong has a hot personality and is unreasonable, he has never done any serious evil. He firmly believes that with Qian Meier's character, he will never kill her, and at most he will punish her. But given Qian Meier's character, it's hard to guess how she would punish him.
"A little lesson... Hehe... What a little lesson! That demon fox is just... damned!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it. What did Mei'er do to Nangong Hong?"
"How? She..."
Although Ruoxue's anger was rising, she seemed to be a little bit unable to speak out. She always kept Nangong Hong's experience at the back of her tongue and refused to speak out, which made Ling Ning even more curious.
"There are no outsiders here. If you want us to plead guilty, you have to give us some evidence. What's the point of saying nothing?"
"Okay! Let me tell you! That demon fox took off all the clothes on Sister Hong...and... sealed her true energy... just tied her hands and feet and threw her into the ravine! Now you Are you satisfied?"
Ling Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, this was the best way to deal with the arrogant and hot-tempered Nangong Hong! But he was sure that even if Qian Meier sealed Nangong Hong's true energy, it would not be sealed for too long. It would be easy for her to escape after recovering her true energy.
"Nangong Hong is rewarded for evil, but she can naturally break free after recovering her true energy. This is indeed a small punishment."
"How dare you say that! Sister Hong...Sister Hong, she..."
"What happened to her?"
"She was raped!"
"What did you say?"
Ling Ning was shocked. It was said that the mountains were always deserted, and Nangong Hong was thrown into the ravine, making it difficult for anyone to find her. How could she be raped?
"Who is that person? Did you catch him?"
Ruoxue shook her head in despair, "Sister Hong was still unwilling to tell the story at that time. I didn't know about her rape at first, but later... later... I told her because I couldn't hide it anymore... "
Ling Ning asked tentatively: "What do you mean I really can't hide it anymore?"
Ruoxue raised her head and stared at him: "What do you think?"
"She...she's pregnant?"
Ruoxue sneered several times: "Not bad, are you satisfied?"
Ling Ning was stunned. He stayed for a moment before saying, "So... you still don't know who the perpetrator of the violence is?"
"Sister Hong swore not to tell anyone, so of course no one knows. Now she has been sent back to the 'Fairy Dust Continent' to give birth. Now that I think about it...hey! You still said it wasn't the demon fox's fault!"
Ling Ning shook his head and said: "In my opinion, this is just an accident. The most important thing is to catch the perpetrator! I know that you and Nangong Hongqing have the same sister, but what does it mean if you express your anger to others innocently? You have the ability. Let’s catch the perpetrator of violence and bring him to justice!”
Although this statement is very convincing, it does not affect Ruoxue's hatred for him at all.
"You are with her, so of course you talk to her! You shameless thief, if I can't kill you today, I will definitely take your life in the future!"
"You woman are really unreasonable at all. One code is the same. I saved your life. Aren't you going to repay me?"
"Repay? Huh, did I ask you to save me? Besides...huh..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, you've already paid back your money after looking at my body! You have bad intentions, but you still have some good intentions? You ruined my innocence! You despicable and shameless thief, I want you to die!"
"you!"
"What? If you want to kill me, just do it! If I frown, I won't be a human being!"
Seeing the "indignation" and "righteousness" on her face, Ling Ning smiled instead of being angry: "Hey, I won't kill you! I will also publicize what I saw about your body! To be honest, you have something on your chest. You can clearly see all the moles down there! I wonder who else will dare to marry you in the future! Hahahahaha!"
"You! Shameless villain, I will kill you now!"
This sentence obviously made Ruoxue so angry that she desperately got up and wanted to fight him. However, her body was too weak and Ling Ning grabbed her hands and pulled her into his arms. It seemed that she was deliberately trying to surrender. It’s like giving someone a hug!
"Thief! Let go!"
Ruoxue was unforgiving, but she could clearly feel the heat on Ling Ning's body, which was as warm as a blazing flame in this extremely cold fog. To be honest, she was a little reluctant to leave, but her strong self-esteem was She is not allowed to think this way, let alone do this.
Ling Ning put his mouth close to her ear: "What if I don't let go? Are you going to kill me?"
"you!"
Seeing the playful smile on the man's face in front of her, she was instantly ashamed, and even her ears turned red! The pink and small earlobes were more like delicate red pomegranates, and Ling Ning almost took a bite.
"If you don't let me go...I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"
Ling Ning lowered his head and looked into her eyes carefully, knowing that she was not joking, "Humph, do you really think I care about you? But you'd better be honest and wait for your body to recover even if you have to fight hard. Otherwise, you will only bring humiliation to yourself!"
He quickly placed Ruoxue's body on the ground, then stood up and walked away, showing the demeanor of a "gentleman".
To be honest, Ruoxue felt a little bit disappointed after leaving his warm embrace. The cold and biting feeling returned again. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself: "Huh! It's never too late for a woman to take revenge in ten years." You are a prodigal and a thief! Sooner or later, I will make you repay double the amount!"
Ling Ning saw that she started to shiver again after a while, and couldn't help but wonder: "Did you suffer internal injuries? I have bandaged the wound for you, why are you still shivering like this?"
Ruoxue gave him a stern look: "You... do you think... I want to? You perverted thief..."
Ling Ning knelt down and half-joked and half-threatened: "Hey, hey, hey, if you call me a pervert again, I will really pervert you!"
Seeing his eyes lingering on her body, Ruoxue quickly tightened her tight clothes. She was really afraid that he would become "animalistic" and could only reluctantly snort but did not dare to shout like this again.
Ling Ning was very satisfied when she saw that she seemed to have surrendered, and then asked: "What's wrong with you? Why are you trembling like this?"
"I...what's wrong with me? The air is filled with...ahem...filled with the cold poison of Zhiyin...you...don't you feel it? And...you still ask me what's wrong?"
Ling Ning suddenly realized that he really didn't feel anything special. Perhaps the "Shen Transformation Art" running in his body absorbed the cold air and used it for his own use, so he was not affected. To be honest, he felt more energetic.
He immediately thought whether Qianmeier and the others were in trouble because of this, and they had to go to rescue them quickly! But where should he go in the "sea of fog"? Even the "Linglong Jade" that was summoned became dim and unresponsive...
"Hey, let me help you..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm, but Ruoxue shrank in fear and said tremblingly: "You... what are you going to do?"
Ling Ning smiled bitterly and said: "What can I do? Of course I will help you get rid of the cold poison. Don't worry, I have already done what you want to do. Do you have to wait until now?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but grab her cold little hand.
"you……"
Ruoxue struggled twice, and a warm current spread all over her body along her palms, taking away the cold poison in her body. This feeling was so comfortable. It was like being in the cold winter without seeing the sun for a long time and suddenly being bathed in the warm sunshine. A feeling of ecstasy came to her heart, which she couldn't bear to resist.
Even so, she still said to herself: "I am not surrendering to him. I am just a 'little woman' who can bend and stretch. I am doing this to consume more of his true energy. When his true energy is exhausted, I will kill him with one sword." This perverted thief killed..."
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
Ruoxue nodded slightly. She did not feel cold now, but if he took back his true energy, she would still fall into the cold. Thinking of this, she was really reluctant to let go.
"You... please take your hand back, I don't need it anymore, thank you."
Ling Ning smiled. He knew that the woman in front of him had extremely strong self-esteem. He pulled her up and said, "Don't be brave! Let's find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. It would be too much if you fainted all at once." It’s too much of a burden, so I’ll reluctantly hold your hand so that you can move faster.”
"You...you are a burden..."
Ruoxue protested softly, but rarely refused his proposal.
Seeing that she didn't object, Ling Ning knew that this was her concession. He looked around and observed that there was still thick fog around him.
"Let's quickly discuss how to get out. What do you think of this place? It's obviously at the entrance of the Grand Canyon, but after running for so long but still not seeing a tree, it's a bit strange..."
Seeing him talking about business, Ruoxue also became serious, "What's strange about this? It means that we are no longer where we were. The moment we touched the thick fog, we were teleported to the inside of the thick fog. To put it simply, This is another space.”
"I think so too, but isn't there a limit to this space? How can I get out?"
Ruoxue pondered for a moment and said: "I remember my master once said that the 'Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night' is a mysterious phenomenon that causes coldness in the Yin. It often appears randomly near places where a large number of innocent souls gather, and then gathers towards them. It marches everywhere, devouring all living creatures along the way, and imprisoning their souls forever, never to be reincarnated."
"Are you saying it will appear near a large gathering of innocent souls? How far away is it?"
"This is not clear. Sometimes it is far away, sometimes it is very close... This kind of phenomenon is very rare and strange. Anyone who encounters it will avoid it. Who would risk their lives to investigate in detail?"
"Judging from the direction it is heading, it must be Dongyou! Why are there so many things going on in Dongyou recently? What happened there?"
"Who knows, it's really unlucky. I really can't figure out why this phenomenon appears in the Mortal Continent..."
"What else did your master say? Is there any way to escape?"
"There were indeed monks who escaped in the past, but they were very rare. Someone has done the investigation. Many of those who escaped were insane and talking nonsense. Some of the sober ones couldn't explain why they escaped without warning. It was just teleported, for no reason."
"How could there be no warning... Is it possible that 'Hundred Ghosts Night Parade' is man-made?"
"Perhaps it is possible. It must be a monk with a very high level of cultivation to perform such an unpredictable method, but...but if it is really man-made...why didn't it trigger the strangulation of the Xuanyuan Sword Formation?"
"Yes, this is indeed a problem..."
It stands to reason that such a large-scale spell must be beyond the scope of the early stage of pill formation, and the caster will definitely cause the Xuanyuan Sword Formation to strangle. But since he heard the palace master talk about "immortal arts", he had a vague feeling that this "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" was probably also a kind of "immortal arts", so it would not cause the Xuanyuan Sword Formation to strangle. But no matter how you think about it, these are just speculations without substantial evidence.
"I feel that the ultimate goal of this 'Hundred Ghosts' Night Parade' is probably to collect a large number of resentful spirits and use them for some kind of practice. Those who escaped may have been deliberately released in order to keep the monks away and not be disturbed."
"That makes sense. Do you have a plan?"
"Actually, I don't have much of a plan..." Ling Ning smiled, flipping the stone sword in his hand, "Why don't we try 'throwing stones to find the way' first!"
