Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Thunder Spear Fragments: Ji Xue's Exploration

At the moment when Qin Zhao stepped on the fallen leaves, the crisp sound from the soles of his boots seemed to put an end to the previous chapter. He didn't turn back or stop, just his left hand was still pressed against the brow bone of his left eye, and the faint golden crack was still burning, like someone gently pressing their skin with a soldering iron. The wind blew through the dilapidated courtyard, lifting a corner of his black and golden robe. Nine jade plaques clinked at his waist, and he stepped out of the threshold with his fire boots to crush the floating dust.

The sunshine at the entrance of the alley is just right, shining on the bluestones and turning them white. He squinted his eyes, raised his hand to block the light, and muttered to himself, "Host? I want to see who the chess player is

As soon as the words fell, light footsteps could be heard at the intersection of light and shadow.

It's not the kind of sneaking around, it's the deliberate rhythmic "da, da" sound, with a hint of coquettishness, like the sound of a cat wagging its tail and patting the floor mat.

Qin Zhao didn't even lift his eyelids.

He knows who it is.

Only that crazy woman dared to walk over openly from this angle at such a time.

Ji Xue was covered in silver soft armor, shimmering with fine lightning. Her pleated short skirt swept across the ground, and lightning beads echoed lightly on her feet, like wind chimes, but more charged than them. She was holding a gray cloth bag in her hand, which looked heavy, but she walked like a primary school student who had just received pocket money.

Qin brother - "she shouted sweetly, with a long tail sound, just like the silly and sweet 18 line flower in a TV drama.

Qin Zhao sneered, "Get lost

As a result, Ji Xue accidentally tripped over a stone on her toes and threw herself forward. The gray cloth bag slipped off her hand and flew out, falling to the ground with a 'pop' and scattering.

A palm sized metal fragment rolled out and flashed in the sunlight - blue purple lightning exploded, making a crackling sound in the air like a high-voltage wire leaking electricity.

Qin Zhao's pupils contracted.

He didn't move.

Even took a half step back.

This thing is not right. Too bright, too loud, too coincidental. He had just exploded out of the secret room, and the sea of knowledge was still buzzing. The dark lines on his left wrist occasionally twitched, and now there was a thunderous burst of broken copper and iron? When is he a scrap collector?

But just as he stared at the fragments, the dark mark on his left wrist suddenly burned.

It's not the kind of heat warning, it's... excitement.

Like a dog hungry for three days to see Braised pork belly.

In the depths of the sea of knowledge, the invisible door crack cracked open with a click, and a suction force appeared out of nowhere, rushing straight into the palm of my hand.

Qin Zhao frowned.

Before he could react, the fragment suddenly soared into the air, as if being held by an invisible hand, and crashed into his right hand with a whoosh.

Boom

With a muffled sound, it didn't explode, but directly penetrated into the skin and rushed upwards along the meridians. Qin Zhao felt a numbness in his right arm, as if he had been hit by high voltage electricity, and his fingertips were trembling. The thunderous light rushed into the Sea of Knowledge and exploded with a loud bang.

In the depths of the treasure trove, clear words appeared for the first time:

Thunder halberd fragments can be fused into the ultimate treasure

Qin Zhao was stunned for two seconds.

"Zhizhen?" He read it in a low voice, and pulled his mouth. "Are you finally willing to give the instructions to his mother?"

In the past, he would just swallow things in a daze, relying on himself to try out how to use daggers, gold cards, and spiritual herbs. This time, I took the initiative to remind you that it's still the word 'meltable', which sounds a bit interesting.

He lowered his head and looked into his palm. There were no traces of the debris that had just entered, only a faint circle of lightning streaks flashing by.

Oh, have you reacted? "Ji Xue ran forward and tilted her head to look at him, her eyes shining absurdly. The lightning birthmark on the end of her right eye was slightly hot, as if it had been charged." Brother Qin, can I give you this fragment

The tone is so sweet that it can be brushed.

Qin Zhao slowly stood up, habitually stroking the jade plaque around his waist with his right hand and squinting his eyes, "Did you do it intentionally

He smiled beautifully, with the corners of his mouth curled up, but his eyes were cold enough to freeze. On the surface, she was asking about fragments, but in reality, she was asking about her entire appearance - from tripping to falling, from tone to expression, not a single one was a coincidence.

Ji Xue blinked innocently and said, "Oh, I've been discovered

She raised her hand and poked him in the chest with great force, as if playing around or testing his reaction speed.

Qin Zhao did not hide.

He can hide.

But he wants to see what this crazy woman really wants.

However, "Ji Xue suddenly took a step back, turned around and made a gesture to leave. With a flick of her skirt, her silver armor reflected brightly." If Brother Qin kisses me, I'll give you another piece

After she finished speaking, she didn't leave. She lightly tapped her toes, and Lei Zhu made two more sounds, as if waiting for a response.

The alley fell silent for a moment.

The wind blew over the broken wall, rolling up a few withered leaves.

Qin Zhao stood still, with a flash of light in his eyes. A faint purple flashed through the crack in his left eye, so fast that it was almost invisible. Unconsciously, the left hand touched the dark mark on the wrist - the treasure trove was still absorbing the energy of that fragment, and strands of thunder flowed along the meridians, so comfortable that it made people want to hum a song.

But there was no trace on his face.

Instead, she sneered, "... crazy woman

Ji Xue's shoulders trembled, clearly holding back a smile. She didn't look back, just raised one hand and waved it, as if catching a fly: "Don't be so fierce next time. They are kind enough to give gifts, do you still think they are not sincere enough

Sincerity? "Qin Zhao sneered," Do you think I'm a charity foundation? If I drop a broken piece of iron, I want to exchange for dresses? Have you registered yet? "

Oh, I understand all the internet memes, but I still don't recognize them. "Ji Xue finally turned around and gave him a flirtatious look, with a birthmark on her right eye flashing." Does that mean I'm in my heart

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "What I have in my heart is bulletproof steel plates, not roses

Deceiving. "Ji Xue took a step closer and looked up at him, her nose almost touching his chin." Your heart is beating faster, I can hear you

That's the aftermath of being struck by lightning just now

Why is your wrist getting hot

The weather is hot

Why do you know the sea fluctuates

Why investigate so thoroughly when you're sick

I care about you, "she chuckled and poked him again." Besides, don't you also sneak a peek at my data stream every day? Last time at the gambling house, you clearly scanned my Thunder Spear frequency with your treasure trove, pretending not to know

Qin Zhao squinted his eyes and said, "Did you even notice this

Of course. "Ji Xue raised her chin proudly." Do you think the reincarnation of the Valkyrie is for nothing? I have my own anti reconnaissance system

Do you know that the position you are standing now is exactly within the locking range of my three spatial jade cards? "Qin Zhao said slowly," As long as I have a thought, you can instantly appear in the Arctic digging coal

Oh? "Ji Xue tilted her head." Why don't you give it a try? Maybe when I get to the North Pole, I can easily dismantle the Aurora and use it as a power bank for you

Two people looked at each other for three seconds.

The sound of the air crackling is not a metaphor, but a real lightning arc jumping between them.

Qin Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, you're tough

Can you give me a kiss

Get lost

A stingy person

I'm not stingy, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand my kiss, "Qin Zhao said seriously." Last time, a girl was kissed by me and failed to cross the tribulation on the spot. Thunder struck her roof

Then I'm different, "Ji Xue tiptoed and leaned close to his ear, her warm breath sweeping over her earlobe." I can withstand thunder, and I can withstand you

After speaking, she stepped back, turned around and walked away, her footsteps light and agile, and the sound of thunder beads clinking.

Qin Zhao didn't move.

He watched her back until she took five steps before whispering, "How many more pieces are there in your bag

Ji Xue paused in her footsteps and didn't turn back, "Secret

Not saying

Just say it when you kiss

... crazy

Love you~"She waved her hand, her figure gradually fading away, but she never turned or disappeared. She stopped at the corner of the alley, as if waiting for him to catch up.

Qin Zhao stood still and touched the dark lines on his wrist again with his left hand.

In the treasure trove, the fragment of the Thunder Spear was slowly spinning, with lightning light like silk, wrapped around the invisible door frame, as if setting a lightning edge on the door.

Integration progress: 17%

He clicked his tongue.

Do co authors still need to rely on personal connections to unlock DLC? This system is even worse than mobile games. "

He looked down at the palm of his hand, where the fragments had just entered, and there were faint lightning patterns flowing under his skin, like miniature circuit boards.

What exactly is she trying to do? "He muttered to himself," Do you really think I can handle it

After speaking, he still took a step.

Not chasing after Ji Xue, but heading towards the other end of the alley - that side leads to the market.

He needs to buy some spiritual medicine and see if he can easily grab some valuable items and stuff them into the treasure trove. After all, now that the treasure trove has opened a new column, it cannot be left empty.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again.

I turned around and glanced at the corner where Ji Xue was hiding.

That crazy woman was still standing there, sticking out half of her head and waving at him.

Qin Zhao rolled his eyes and quickened his pace.

Ji Xue immediately followed, and Lei Zhu sounded happily.

Qin, wait for me -

Shut up

No, I'm going to give you the second piece

Don't

really

Fake

Why don't you run

I'm going to the market

Coincidentally, I'll go too

Didn't you just come from over there

Can't I turn around? Modern people prioritize environmental protection and don't go back

You're such an environmentalist

The two of them walked in the alley, one in front and one behind, with the sun slanting and shadows elongating.

Qin Zhao walked fast, while Ji Xue ran along and bounced around occasionally. The sound of thunder beads jingled, as if she had brought her own BGM.

Passing a breakfast stall, deep-fried dough sticks just came out of the pot, and the smell was overwhelming.

Ji Xue suddenly said, "Brother Qin, if you invite me to eat a deep-fried dough sticks, I will tell you where the fragments are."

Qin Zhao didn't even turn his head and said, 'Do you think I'm an ATM?'? "

Hey, nowadays men don't even want to invite breakfast and call themselves wealthy? "Ji Xue sighed," No wonder they're single

It's none of your business whether I'm single or not

Why not? I am your future wife

Whoever marries you is unlucky

Why did you call my name in your dream last night

Qin Zhao's footsteps suddenly paused.

Bullshit! I didn't shout

Really? Why is your pillow wet

I'm drooling

Oh, does it make your mouth water to shout 'Snow, Snow, don't go' in your dream

Qin Zhao turned his head and glared at her, 'Are you monitoring me?'

It's only natural for couples to monitor each other, "Ji Xueli said confidently." Besides, I replaced the bottle of Anshen Fragrance by your bedside. Without some tracking powder, how could you find me

Are you adding some ingredients to my fragrance

Just a little bit, just a little bit, "she blinked." Don't worry, it's non-toxic. It just lets me know where you are, how much your heart beats, and whether you have nightmares or not

Qin Zhao took a deep breath and raised his hand to pinch his forehead, "Are all your female martial arts gods so crazy when reincarnated

I'm only crazy about you, "she leaned in and smiled brightly." Someone else? I'll just strike with my halberd

Qin Zhao remained silent for three seconds before suddenly saying, "Take another half step forward, and I will stuff you into the treasure trove as a decoration

Okay, "Ji Xue immediately took a step forward and leaned against his arm," quickly take me in, I want to be sealed by you

Do you have a tendency towards abuse

Only for you

Disgusting

Love you

The two of them were arguing and walking through the alley, with sunlight shining on the road ahead.

Qin Zhao kept a straight face, but his left hand occasionally touched the dark lines on his wrist.

The fusion progress of the Thunder Spear fragments in the treasure trove has jumped to 23%.

And Ji Xue followed behind him, her right eye birthmark flashing imperceptibly.

She lowered her head and quietly drew a heart in her palm.

Then he took a gentle breath.

Love turned into a faint light, following the wind and entering Qin Zhao's collar.
