Just after Zishi, Qin Zhao walked ahead, his footsteps neither too fast nor too slow. The soles of his boots rolled over the debris of the bluestone, making a faint rustling sound. Ji Xue followed him half a step. The string of Tomatoes on sticks in her hand had already been gnawed. She threw the bamboo stick behind her, jingled into the corner of the wall, rolled into the gutter and disappeared.
The streetlights gradually faded away, and the noise of the main street was left behind, replaced by the sobbing of the wind passing through the broken wall. Qin Zhao suddenly turned a corner and entered a narrow alley - the abandoned area in the west of the city, which was exactly where the arrow rain had attacked last night.
Ji Xue paused in her footsteps and raised her eyebrows slightly, "This way? Aren't you afraid of getting a few more arrows
Are you afraid? "Qin Zhao didn't turn his head and spoke lazily," What I'm afraid of is that you, a drag on oil bottle, might fall off the chain at a critical moment
Hey! "Ji Xue rolled her eyes." Who almost got stabbed in the heart with a dagger just now? I thought you were so tough, but ended up relying on your chest to practice courage
Practicing courage? "Qin Zhao chuckled lightly and raised his hand to touch the dark pattern on his left wrist. The warmth still lingered, like carrying a freshly baked iron cake." I rely on it to eat
Before he could finish speaking, the high walls on both sides of his head suddenly burst into the air with a loud explosion!
Whoosh whoosh——
Twelve black feathered arrows shot out from the top of the wall, with a faint blue sheen at the tail, clearly poisoned. Arrows cover the entire tunnel in a fan-shaped pattern, with sharp angles, sealing off all evasion routes.
Ji Xue instinctively raised her arm to block, her movements so fast that they almost brought out the afterimages.
Just as the tip of the arrow was about to touch her body, the silver soft armor on her body suddenly lit up!
Thunder light travels on the armor like a living snake, with fine and intricate patterns instantly protruding, like ancient runes awakening. The arrow hit the thunder mark and exploded into pieces on the spot, even the poisonous mist was electrified and sizzled, turning into smoke and dissipating.
Qin Zhao stood still, motionless.
He even took two steps forward, getting closer to Ji Xue, his gaze fixed firmly on the still dancing lightning pattern on her shoulder armor.
Wow. "His mouth curled up," This soft armor... it's pretty good to hit
Ji Xue withdrew her arm and patted the non-existent gray on her sleeve. "It's okay, it's for self-defense," she said
Self defense? "Qin Zhao sneered," As a 'young man' wearing such slutty soft armor, are you afraid of being mistaken for your gender
Ji Xue was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "Ha? What do you mean
Qin Zhao didn't answer, instead he took a step forward and reached out to touch her broken hair on the forehead.
Ji Xue tilted her head and avoided his hand, her tone sharp: "Don't touch your hands or feet, what do you want
What do I want? "Qin Zhao withdrew her hand and gently rubbed the faint golden crack on her forehead with her fingertips, her eyes playful." I'm just curious, is a little kid who calls me 'Brother Qin' every day a man or a woman
Ji Xue blinked and pretended to be dumbfounded, saying, "Of course I'm a man! Look at my Adam's apple -" She even reached out and gestured around her neck.
Qin Zhao lowered his head and glanced at her flat chest, then glanced at her waistline, and sneered, "Your Adam's apple is hidden deep enough, buried in your belly button
You! "Ji Xue stared," You are discriminating against people with flat chests
Flat chest? "Qin Zhao clicked," Are you referring to congenital dysplasia or postnatal compression molding? Wearing a pleated skirt and short armor, with bells hanging all over your feet, afraid that others won't know you're here for a fashion show
I'm willing! "Ji Xue stood on her hips." Besides, who says women can't wear armor? Can you control it
I can't control it, "Qin Zhao shrugged," but I can control whether or not to take on the trouble of disguising myself
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, with steady steps and no swaying shadows.
Ji Xue stood still, watching his back, and suddenly smiled.
The next second, she raised her hand and pulled off the silver headband that tied her hair.
Snap!
Long hair cascades down like a waterfall, gently drifting in the night breeze. The shattered star chain rang lightly with the movement, and the lightning shaped birthmark on the tail of the right eye flashed under the dim yellow lantern, as if the mark had been struck by lightning was finally no longer hidden.
She caught up with her step by step, her footsteps light and agile, and her thunderous boots crackled.
Oh, I've been discovered! "She spoke coquettishly and leaned in close to Qin Zhao's ear, blowing a sigh." But Qin brother cares about me so much, does he like me
Qin Zhao's ears itched, and he suddenly turned his head to avoid it, his eyes so cold that they could freeze: "I like your head. Do you think I'm a fool? Since the first day you climbed over the wall and said you wanted to teach me how to practice, which teacher even has a tracking mark on their face when teaching
Oh, do you remember that flower? "Ji Xue chuckled." That's my carefully prepared gift for you. It's a limited edition with a putrid smell and fragments of obsession. I won't give you too many
Send me? "Qin Zhao sneered." Are you trying to test if I can withstand mental erosion? Unfortunately, I'm not good at anything else, but my ability to resist nausea is top-notch
Hmph, there are all sorts of loopholes, "Ji Xue sneered." Then why didn't you expose me yesterday? You already saw the clues
Expose you? "Qin Zhao gave her a sidelong glance." What am I trying to do? Do you want to see your face change on the spot or do you want to make up a new story? After all - "He paused, his tone meaningful." I think you're quite dedicated to acting, so I might as well let you jump around for two more days
Ha. "Ji Xue snorted lightly," So you deliberately took me along this dangerous road to see how many skills I had hidden
Smart, "Qin Zhao nodded." Otherwise, do you think I have to hit the gun just because I'm full
Do you know now? "Ji Xue stopped and looked him in the eye." Do you know who I am
Qin Zhao also stopped and turned to look at her.
The two were so close that they could see the reflections in each other's pupils clearly.
What do I know? "He lowered his voice a bit." I know you're not an ordinary person, I know your soft armor can automatically activate defense, I know you have a scar on the tail of your right eye that was struck by lightning, and I also know - "He paused and tapped his chest with his fingertips." When you pretended to be scared behind my back last night, your heart didn't beat at all
Ji Xue grinned and said, "So what? Are you going to arrest me for interrogation or silence me on the spot
Shut up? "Qin Zhao sneered," How much is your life worth? It's better for me to kill you than to stomp on an ant to save energy
You! "Ji Xue made a gesture to strike, but as soon as she lifted her hand, it was blocked by him.
Don't make a fuss, "Qin Zhao shook her off." Since the truth is revealed, don't pretend. Don't mess with those sticky 'Qin brothers' for me in the future, you'll have a sore tooth
Oh? "Ji Xue tilted her head." What do you want me to call you? Darling? Husband? Or - Brother Zhao
Try saying another word, "Qin Zhao's eyes turned cold, and a faint purple flickered in his pupils.
Ji Xue, however, was not afraid. Instead, she took a half step forward and poked his chest directly with her fingertips, with a force that was neither light nor heavy: "When exposed, she still spoke hard, a typical late stage patient who is insincere. Tell me, has she been interested in me for a long time? Otherwise, why keep me by my side
Interesting? "Qin Zhao sneered," I'm also interested in garbage dumps because they can pick up gold cards
Ha! "Ji Xue looked up and laughed heartily," Can you also find this gold card in your hand on my head
Qin Zhao remained silent.
With a flick of the wrist, a golden card was caught between the fingers.
The next second, he raised his hand and threw it unceremoniously towards Ji Xue's forehead!
Jinka broke through the void with such fast speed that a remnant shadow was about to hit her forehead.
Ji Xue has quick eyes and hands. She lifted her hand and caught it steadily.
She lowered her head and saw the symbols circulating on the card, with the faint words "contract order" appearing.
Tsk tsk tsk. "She shook her head and shook her head." Is it another top-level authorization card? Maybe your wallet has an unlimited limit
It's not a wallet, "Qin Zhao withdrew her hand in a calm tone," it's a brain
Come on. "Ji Xue stuffed the gold card around her waist and it happened to get stuck in the knot of the Soul Searching Bell. With a clang, she said," You have the ability to run rampant in the cultivation world with money. What kind of lofty spirit are you putting it here
Believe it or not, "Qin Zhao turned around and continued walking forward." Anyway, if you take my things, you'll have to pay the price
Oh? "Ji Xue chased after her," What's the cost? Sleeping with her, practicing with her, or chatting with her
Accompanying burial, "Qin Zhao coldly threw out two words.
Ji Xue chuckled and said, "Okay, when you fall down one day, I will definitely dig a pit for you with my own hands and engrave 'There is a scumbag with a mouth ten thousand times harder than his heart buried here' on the tombstone
As long as you don't cry while I'm alive, "Qin Zhao's footsteps didn't stop
Crying? "Ji Xue rolled her eyes." My tears evaporated eight years ago, but it's you - "She suddenly lowered her voice." Did it hurt when we sealed that dagger last night
Qin Zhao's footsteps were slightly sluggish.
He didn't turn back or answer.
Just the left hand caressed the dark lines on the wrist again, and the temperature was higher than before, as if something was breathing and jumping inside.
Does it hurt? "He finally spoke, his tone returning to lazy." That's refreshing. Do you understand what pain is and how to be happy
I don't understand, "Ji Xue shrugged," but I understand why you insist on pretending to be indifferent. Because once you're serious, you'll lose
Qin Zhao sneered, "I'm not interested in engaging in psychological warfare with you
But you're already fighting, "Ji Xue chuckled lightly
Shut up, "Qin Zhao quickened his pace," one more word of nonsense, the next card will be stuck in your mouth
Threatening me? "Ji Xue followed with a smile." Why don't you give it a try? Anyway, I'm used to it. Every time you feel guilty, you throw the card away
Feeling guilty? "Qin Zhao turned his head to look at her, his eyes mocking," I feel guilty like a ghost. I just find you annoying
Are you annoyed? "Ji Xue leaned in half a step, her voice sweet and cloying." Why do you always catch my conversation? Hmm? Why don't you just leave? Why don't you knock me unconscious and throw me into the river
Qin Zhao remained silent.
The night wind blew, curling up his long hair, and the rope tying his hair with the fragments of the thunder spear swayed gently. The dark lines on the left wrist are slightly hot, as if responding to some hidden wave.
He suddenly stopped.
Ji Xue also stopped.
Listen, "he said in a low voice with his back to her," you can continue acting, you can continue flirting, you can call me husband and wife every day. But remember one thing -
He slowly turned around, his gaze like a knife: 'Don't touch my bottom line.'
Oh? "Ji Xue raised her eyebrows." What's your bottom line? Can't you mention Guixu? Can't you ask about the treasure trove? Or - "She suddenly approached, lightly tracing the crack in his brow bone with her fingertips." Can't you say that you secretly hid my smile
Qin Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted!
At that moment, the purple light in his eyes skyrocketed, and his aura suddenly became fierce, like a fierce beast that had been touched and turned upside down.
But he was only for a moment.
The next second, he regained his composure as if nothing had happened.
You're very good at guessing, "he sneered," but unfortunately you guessed wrong
Wrong, that's right, you know it in your heart. "Ji Xue took a half step back, her smile lingering." But it's okay, I can wait slowly. When you take the initiative to confess, kneel down and beg me, saying, "Ji Xue, I was wrong. I actually love you so much
Dreaming. "Qin Zhao turned around and left," Don't think about it for the rest of your life
Then let's dream for the next life~"Ji Xue jumped and chased after, her steps light and agile." Anyway, I have plenty of time
The two of them continued to walk through the dimly lit streets and alleys, one in front and one behind.
The lights ahead are gradually shining, and the gambling house sign is faintly visible. Red lanterns are hung high, with the three big characters "Tianyun Pavilion" written on them.
Qin Zhao's footsteps did not stop.
Ji Xue followed closely behind and touched the gold card around her waist, with a sly smile at the corner of her mouth.
The wind blew from behind, curling up her disheveled long hair, and the lightning birthmark at the end of her right eye flashed in the twilight.
She suddenly spoke up, 'By the way, who do you think sent the arrow rain just now?'
Qin Zhao's footsteps paused.
He didn't look back and just said lightly, 'What do you think?'
Ji Xue smiled without saying a word, just lightly patting her soft armor shoulder, and there was still residual light flowing from the thunder pattern.
The two continued forward, their figures blending into the lights ahead.
The night is not yet over.
The play is in full swing.
