It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

But she soon understood, and her little face, which was originally full of anger, froze and looked a little unnatural.

"I just want the mental method. Xiang Yi, don't think you are so great..."

Shengsheng was just about to explain it clearly.

But suddenly his expression changed drastically, and the hand that was grabbing the other person's collar immediately slid to the vest, holding the other person tightly.

"elder sister!"

She called out to him anxiously.

now.

Xiang Yi's entire aura suddenly dropped to freezing point, which made Sheng Sheng not know what to do.

She felt the heartbeat of the person in her arms was becoming weaker and weaker... Life flickered like a weak candle flame, and like the sands of time, it slowly slipped through fingers and was difficult to grasp no matter what.

"Sister...Listen, I heard that you human ghosts...can use the power of illusion to create dreams. If possible...let me...be...in your..."

"Sister, stop talking."

The girl tightly grasped the beautiful ghost's completely powerless hand and said in a sad voice.

"...Shengsheng promises you."

She stared into Xiang Yi's dull eyes.

Gather your mind and recite silently in your heart.

——The dream seems real.

Chapter 16 Xia Li, would you like to come back with me to the mansion to see it? (177/)

The soul smoke is green.

It dissipated in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint trace of warmth in the palm of your hand.

After a few breaths, return to the starting point.

In the end, all that remained were a jade, a sword, and a small wooden sculpture in the soul's heart...

Xia Li held the pure white jade stone of Shaohua in her hand and looked ahead at the empty space ahead. She felt empty inside and couldn't tell how much sadness she felt.

But Pei Hui always felt inexplicably sad.

only......

Thinking that there was still the terrifyingly powerful City Lord Su who had not completely fallen and was staring at her not far away.

In the face of a more important survival crisis, Sheng Sheng wiped away her tears in a few seconds, and those sorrows and lingering feelings disappeared faster than Xiang Yi Hunyan.

after all.

Shengsheng's life is more important than anything else!

——I don’t know how Mr. Su will treat me next.

Interrogation?

Detention? Torture? Or something else?

In this training ground, anyone with eyes can see that she has a close relationship with the beautiful ghost. Xiang Yi broke Su Yun's left arm. As a friend of the Lu sisters, how can Xia Li get away with it?

——Ah~.

——Just out of the wolf’s den, and into the tiger’s den...my head hurts.

The wind from the wilderness outside the city blew across the training ground, ruffling Xia Li's long black hair that had been loosened by the battle.

The girl's heart was a little confused at this moment.

Lv Man's soul flew away, and scattered towards Yi. Lv's faction, one of the four major military powers in Renwang City, almost collapsed. The plan she discussed with Qi Wan to take all the warrior slaves away had already been messed up...

Still alive at this moment.

Apart from Qi Ming, there were only a few second and third rank warrior slaves left.

——Or... let's run away while Su Yun is seriously injured and can't move for the time being.

Anyway, the pass is still with me, so as long as I move quickly, there will be no problem leaving the city alone.

Except for warriors at the third level, ordinary people can't defeat her.

Shengsheng pondered secretly, his brain was working fast...

——As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood, right?

After all, Xiang Yi was an excellent employee of Boss Sheng, and her future in martial arts was very important...but in the end, she was killed by this guy named Su.

No matter what, I have to avenge my men.

——Is this the truth?

and so.

Shengsheng can't stay in Renwang City and wait for death!

——I’m sorry, Xiaomei Qi, it’s not that I don’t keep my promise, it’s that my strength does not allow it.

——I’ll come back to save you when I become a grandmaster, okay?

Thinking of this.

Shengsheng bowed in her heart to Qi Ming, who was trapped somewhere in the city.

"Take care of yourself!"

After saying take care, the girl prepared to leave.

But just as she raised her foot, a figure blocked her way and stretched out his claws towards her.

"Wait a minute!"

"Lord City Lord, please give me a chance to explain. I was forced by the Lu sisters."

In a flash, Xia Li blurted out these words, without even taking a breath in less than half a second.

But unexpectedly...

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of persecuting her, but instead handed her a handkerchief.

The plain white brocade fluttered gently in the wind.

"Give."

"what?"

Shengsheng was confused. What did this mean?

She quickly glanced at it and saw that the handkerchief was plain in color, but the embroidery on it was very delicate.

There was a small 'cloud' character tattooed on the edge, which was obviously used by a lady from a noble family, and should not appear on the hands of the ghost city lord in front of her, who was wearing black armor, with an evil ghost mask covering his face... and who had killed her cute and well-behaved little cook.

Actually speaking of hands...

The opponent's gauntlet only covers the back, probably to allow for flexibility in controlling the sword, and is not fully enclosed.

The ten fingers exposed were as slender as green onions.

At first glance, it looked like Kotohime's hand, definitely not that of someone skilled in wielding a sword.

"The corner of my lip is broken."

"what?"

Shengsheng made two consecutive sounds.

All along, until just now, she had always regarded City Lord Su as the ultimate imaginary enemy.

However, she did not expect that the other party had no hostility at all. Instead...he did something that she could not expect.

"You want me to help you?"

"No...wait! Hey..."

Xia Li had just opened her mouth when the other party's hand holding the handkerchief pressed on her lips.

This moment.

She realized that it wasn't a question, but a statement.

"All right."

After wiping the blood off Shengsheng's lips, Su Yun glanced at the bright red on her silk handkerchief, and her breathing quickened. But she was an old ghost after all, so she quickly suppressed her excitement.

His face was covered again.

Even Shengsheng couldn't detect anything unusual at this moment.

certainly......

The behavior logic of this Su guy is weird. Logically speaking... even if the other party had seen her true appearance in Yunyin, he would not be cursed with his master's level of cultivation.

The higher your cultivation level is than Shengsheng's, the less likely you are to be cursed by her [True Face].

The girl asked herself whether she had any connection with Su Yun. Since the other party was not cursed, this inexplicable tenderness was a bit strange.

——Is there any other intention?

Sheng Sheng glanced at City Lord Su who was carefully putting the handkerchief back into his arms, and a hint of extremely obscure coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Xia Li, you... are very hostile to me."

The girl was shocked. How could this Su be so sensitive? She barely showed her hatred, but he could sense it?

Sheng Sheng knew that she was no match for a martial arts master, so in order to save her life, she hurriedly explained.

"Your Excellency the City Lord, you have wronged me."

Her acting skills are at the level of a movie queen.

The girl's eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was an old undercover agent who had been lurking in the Lu Mansion for many years, but her identity was wrongly revealed by her leader because of the sudden death of her contact person.

"...Since being promoted to a ghost, Li has often heard of the city lord's reputation and has great respect for him."

"But when I was leaving the pit, I was chosen by Lu Man by mistake and had to enter the rebel's house. Li's cultivation was weak and he was always controlled by the Lu sisters and could not escape... Today, the city lord showed his divine power and finally got his freedom!"

"I'm already too grateful to be hostile to you."

The girl burst into tears before she could say a word.

Like a cuckoo crying blood.

The film vividly portrays the sadness and depression of a patriot who respects the city lord but is secretly controlled by the sinister general and has no way to serve the city.

Hear the words.

Su Yun was stunned for a while...

If she hadn't been paying attention to Xia Li since she first met him in the pit and hadn't had a certain understanding of his temperament, she would have believed it by now.

--but.

——She was really well behaved when she was explaining nonsense.

Once one has seen Sheng Sheng’s true face, the light mist mask will be completely ineffective.

therefore.

What Su Yun witnessed at this moment was Sheng Sheng, who was in a state of unparalleled beauty.

Such a gorgeous lady is naturally extremely beautiful... Not to mention lying, she wouldn't even get angry even if you spoke sweet words.

"Well, that's it."

City Lord Su pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding.

——She believed it?

There was a gap in information between the two sides, so Shengsheng's judgment was not accurate enough.

Fortunately, the girl was very suspicious, so she remained secretly cautious and vigilant.

"You don't have to do this..."

Seeing that he nodded in agreement with Xia Li's suggestion, but the other party was still on guard, the city lord sighed.

He had no choice but to use his trump card to narrow the distant relationship between the two.
