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

——Oh, progress again.

The song is over.

Intoxicated by the lingering sound of the piano, the girl couldn't help but be narcissistic about her own talent.

I don't know why, but before I traveled through time, when I played the zither and the flute, I always felt like I was seeing flowers in the fog, and there was always a layer of separation. I always felt that something was missing. I couldn't achieve the mood I wanted to express...

Now, he seems to be enlightened. He no longer practices day and night, but only plays for three or two hours every week.

On the contrary, progress is very fast...

——Could it be, Shengsheng, that I am actually a musical genius who achieves success late in life?

Thinking of this.

The girl felt a little dizzy.

"The overtones are ethereal and ethereal, the scattered sounds are deep and distant. Since I have mastered my skills, I have been asking myself if my mind is as calm as a well... Today, when I hear this song, I feel a sense of nostalgia for the old friends who have left me."

"There is no better sound than this."

Just when Shengsheng was reveling in herself, a voice suddenly sounded in front of her.

The girl shuddered with fear.

The hand that was still on the strings also shook involuntarily, and the strings trembled violently...

"Ning Xun!"

She was so surprised that the assassin, who was thought to have been driven out of the palace by the priests, actually ran to this remote place and found her, and even saw her undisguised appearance... Even with Shengsheng's shrewdness, she couldn't suppress the shock in her heart.

Ning Xun shouted.

The moment she said this, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Didn't this clearly mean that she knew the other person?

——It’s over.

At this time, Shengsheng had only one thought in his mind.

"It turns out that the little sister recognized me..."

But to her surprise, Ning Xun still had a calm face and the same peaceful eyes as when they first met. When she heard Shengsheng say her name, she didn't seem to associate anything with it.

Just a faint sigh.

The reason why she was called little sister was because Shengsheng had a tender face. Although she was already 27 years old, I don't know if it was because Li Rou took good care of herself or because Li Rou used Shengsheng's "perfect skin"... In short, she looked like a young girl in her prime.

However, this is not uncommon.

Qin Yun has taken good care of himself. He looks only in his twenties even though he is in his forties. I believe that after entering the Spiritual Martial Realm, the aging of a warrior's appearance should be delayed to a certain extent.

"Ahem, that... this..."

Shengsheng didn't know how to explain it.

The ugly slave who was disguising himself as a deformed slave was caught by the other party. He was intoxicated by the music and his brain was a little slow, so he blurted out the name in his mind.

Adding these two together, it is almost certain that Yuanlin was deliberately deceiving and fooling the other party in the morning.

Even though Ning Xun didn't know what Queen Xia looked like, she would still be angry about being deceived. If she thought more divergently, she would be able to vaguely sense something strange about it.

Therefore, Shengsheng was very panicked at this moment.

Faced with this complete dead end, she found it difficult to come up with a reasonable excuse, as long as the other party was not a fool.

Chapter 135 Shengsheng Misjudged Ning Xun's Strength

Of course...

Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

So Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, and then an idea flashed in his mind.

I thought of a barely acceptable reason.

"......That......Sir, it is actually like this."

"I was originally a personal maid to a concubine in the palace, but Queen Xia was jealous and couldn't stand seeing someone more beautiful than herself, so she tortured the beauties in the harem and killed the one I served."

"When the queen came to arrest me, I pretended to be so deformed in order to protect myself, so that I could save my life. But I was also demoted to an ugly slave by the queen..."

What Shengsheng probably meant was, actually...I didn't lie to you.

I lied to your enemy, the Queen. After all, we are still in the same camp. For the sake of our alliance against the Demon Queen, please forgive me and let Shengsheng go.

"I see."

Hearing this, Ning Xun seemed to actually believe it.

He nodded in agreement and spoke slowly.

"I have heard that the Demon Queen Xia Li has a perverse and cruel personality, and I have also heard that she is extremely beautiful, but I did not expect that many of the rumors were false... It turns out that there are many who are more beautiful than her in the palace."

"Yes, yes, the ladies in the palace are all beautiful and speak sweetly."

Shengsheng didn't know whether Ning Xun was speaking in a sarcastic way or not, so he could only smile obsequiously.

"...There are many people who are prettier than Queen Xia. Maybe the king just happened to like her type, so the story spread so mysteriously, as if she is the most beautiful woman in the world."

When the girl said this, she also had her own little tricks.

Assuming that Ning Xun really didn't know what she looked like, then she was raising the appearance level of other concubines, which created an invisible comparison.

The other party may have already searched the palace for a long time, which means he has seen those concubines.

to be honest......

It's not the sound of Sheng Sheng, how can those rouge and powder compare to her.

So, by praising all the concubines, she was also clearing herself invisibly... You see, the beauty of Queen Xia Li is actually not worthy of her reputation, so Sheng Sheng, who is so beautiful, can definitely not be the Queen of Demons!

"Well, you have a point."

"There have always been many cases where people just follow the crowd and three people make a tiger."

Ning Xun stared at Sheng Sheng with her calm eyes. As soon as she finished speaking, she nodded in response, her dark eyebrows slightly frowned as if she was thinking seriously about Sheng Sheng's words, and an expression of deep agreement flashed across her face.

It was as if I had heard Shengsheng's words after some careful consideration.

I quite agree.

——Shit! Could it be that this guy really has become stupid through practicing magic?

Shengsheng couldn't believe it, she actually managed to get away with it.

The other party was indeed a master, he didn't care at all about Sheng Sheng's previous disguise and deception "out of helplessness", and continued to answer calmly and indifferently.

A casual and unfocused attitude.

It's true, although the face used is that of the sister-in-law, it has a kind of free and easy attitude that is able to escape the mundane world, such as "A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, and a raincoat can protect me from wind and rain throughout my life."

——Actually, Ning Xun is a really pretty girl.

Shengsheng exclaimed with heartfelt praise.

The sickly sister-in-law was so scary before that Shengsheng didn’t even pay attention to her appearance when she grew up.

Even if I noticed it, I still didn't like it...

Because she didn't like people who were crazy enough to lose their minds, and for no other reason, that kind of crazy behavior always made her tremble from the bottom of her soul.

Very, very annoying!

Want to stay far away.

therefore.

I had never taken a good look at Ning Xun before.

But, at this moment...

The Ning Xun in the dream was calm and indifferent, pure and inactive... Sheng Sheng couldn't help but look at her a few more times. It was at this time that she realized that her adult sister-in-law was indeed very beautiful.

A well-deserved beauty.

——What a pity, what a pity.

——It was just a dream.

If the real Ning Xun was this calm and peaceful, Sheng Sheng wouldn't mind being a good brother-in-law.

But in fact, just based on the identity of the evil-blood ghost, the two of them are destined to not be able to go the same way!

"Little sister, the song you just sang is one I have never heard before."

“Can you play it again?”

Just when Sheng Sheng was feeling filled with emotion, Ning Xun suddenly asked, and made another small request.

"If you want to listen, then of course it's fine."

From the heart.

Shengsheng wanted to slip away quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the other party was stupid enough to not realize his identity.

But such impatience would definitely be noticed, and since Ning Xun had asked, she dared not refuse...

“Ding ding…ding~!”

The strings of the zither were plucked, and the girl's slender jade fingers moved around them.

Either hook or wipe, either support or split.

The melodious piano music soon floated in the Fuyin Palace, lingering and lingering in the ears.

Ning Xun had naturally never heard of this song, because it was not a tune handed down from generation to generation in the Cui Leng Dynasty, nor was it a popular tune at the time, nor did it come from the Tushan Kingdom in later generations.

But it is the ancient Chinese music in Shengsheng's memory.

Such a completely different style and exquisite melody will naturally be listened to over and over again by those who know what is good.

In order to make Ning Xun happy, Shengsheng played particularly hard this time and was naturally very focused... Unlike the previous piano practice, he put almost all of his techniques and inner emotions into the strings.

It can be said that every tune is slow, and every string and every pillar reminds me of my youth.

Shengsheng was so focused that she naturally had no time to pay attention to her surroundings.

She had forgotten the potential danger at the moment, and that there was an assassin from the Nanfeng Sect in front of her who could take her life at any time!

so......

She did not notice the extremely complicated and tangled look that flashed across Ning Xun's originally calm eyes.

The Taoist nun hid her hands in her sleeves, with her five fingers tightly clasped inward, her nails almost sinking into her palms.

Yes.

Her mood at the moment was not as calm as she appeared. Instead, she felt even more tormented by the heavenly music.

--what do I do?

Ning Xun asked herself this.

She was not like what Shengsheng thought, that her brain was damaged by practicing magic.

It is impossible for a person who has really gone bad to enter the third stage of spiritual martial arts... The art of martial arts is different from the art of martial arts. There may be such savage people in the latter. But the former focuses on the soul and spirit. Practicing art is also cultivating the mind.

Therefore, the further one advances in the art of art, the fewer stupid people there are.

Even if you look stupid on the surface, you are actually wise in disguise!

After bidding farewell to the maid Shengsheng, Ning Xun stepped into the Lixian Palace, and the palace's servants came...

Ning Xun once said this to Qin Ying.

"Mrs. Mi is not here, and she comes and goes freely in Cui Lengjing."

This sentence does not mean that she is very confident or showing off her high level of cultivation.

There is only one meaning.

——Her current cultivation level is almost the same as that of Madam Mi, the 'tomb keeper' back then.

If Mrs. Mi is around, she will be tied down by the other party.

Without Madam Mi, the palace was like her backyard, and she could wander around as she pleased. Even though the famous worshipper was also at the third level, it was a pity that he was no match for Ning Xun!

It was solved easily without hurting the other party's life...
