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

For example, the phrase "Aren't you afraid of me" seems to be a casual question, and the tone used is also very ordinary, but in fact it is not that simple......

——Humph! Are you testing my ability?

Not afraid.

That is fearlessness.

If faced with an enemy who can kill you right away, even the bravest person can only overcome fear, not be fearless.

Fearlessness comes from one’s own strength!

After Qi Wan asked that question, she kept staring at Sheng Sheng's eyes, trying to find clues from her subtle reaction...

If the other party is really not afraid of her and is not pretending to be calm... then it means that Fang Shengsheng is quite confident when facing a first-class warrior like her.

Either their cultivation is equal, or their cultivation is slightly lower but their martial arts skills are superb!

There is nothing else besides these two.

There was a sound of "click"...

The woman's smooth, white wrists were restrained by a pair of cold shackles.

"afraid?"

"Once locked in the Yin Jade Shackles, you warriors are like beasts without claws and fangs. Why should I be afraid?"

Xia Li didn't respond at first.

After he had captured the soft little hand and locked the shackles swiftly, he answered with a relaxed look on his face. After answering, he bent down and put on the shackles.

At the same time, I felt a little relieved.

——I thought she saw through me, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

——In this case, it means that her perception is not beyond mine.

If she couldn't see through the truth, she would try to probe. If she knew everything, she wouldn't beat around the bush...which means that the other party is not sure that she is now a second-grade warrior.

After completing the locking process, Shengsheng, in a good mood, pulled the leash in his hand, as if he was walking the dog in the community a long time ago.

"We should go back~!"

"...Big sister, the playtime is over."

"you--!"

Qi Wan glared at Sheng Sheng. This was the first time she revealed her inner emotions.

angry.

Qi Wan was a little annoyed by the other party's joking tone and the hidden meaning... If it was an ordinary ghost, she would ignore it. Saying so was nothing more than disgust and contempt. She would kill it when she had the chance in the future.

But Fang Shengsheng is most likely an alien species.

All alien ghosts have one characteristic—they still consider themselves as [human].

and......

This recognition of people is higher than that of most real humans! Some timid and weak people are likely to change their stance and completely betray after being persecuted by ghosts.

But the ghost aliens will never die!

so......

Fang Shengsheng's words just now did not mean to belittle her, but rather seemed more like a tease.

This made her feel annoyed.

"I thought you were born into a noble family, so you must be well-educated and well-spoken."

The Qi family has always been a famous family in Xizhou.

The first time Qi Wan saw Shengsheng, she knew that he must have had a good family background. In addition, she later discovered that Shengsheng was a different species, so his cultivation was probably not low.

From that time on, I had already regarded her as someone of the same level as me.

If not.

Nor would he half-tentatively and half-intentionally reveal the matter of Cheng Qian...

"...I never thought you would be like a common person, using such metaphors to insult me."

Xia Li thought he was being subtle when walking the dog with the leash, but Qi Wan was very sharp and still noticed it.

She was also a little embarrassed, but her face was as thick as a city wall after all.

She blinked and pretended to be shy.

"Where."

"Shengsheng's family has been farming for generations. They are poor and have no manners. Big sister has misjudged them."

Qi Wan heard this but did not respond.

Just looking at Xia Li with cold eyes...

——You have been farmers for generations and have no knowledge of etiquette.

The other party is really talking nonsense!

With that kind of temperament, it takes more than ten years of lavish life to cultivate it. Not to mention the intentional or unintentional bossiness, which can only be seen by a master who often orders people around.

The other party didn't respond, Shengsheng curled her lips and didn't care. The two of them walked back to the long path leading to the slave area in silence.

The guards closed the iron gate, and all the light and noise were blocked from the world on the other side.

There was a moment of silence and peace in the dark passage...

"What did you say to my sister yesterday? She seemed to want to protect you?"

Shengsheng took Qi Wan back to the slave area, taking advantage of the quiet time while having all sorts of random thoughts in her mind.

Bento at this time.

A slightly cold voice came into her ears. It seemed that the other party was still angry...

But this time, she was really wronged.

The girl frowned. She had not planned to communicate much with Qi Ming yesterday. After all, they were strangers and talking too much would only make him wary. But Qi Ming took the initiative to come over and put himself in her palm.

——Can this be blamed on her?

"not my business."

Shengsheng pushed all the responsibility away.

"She came to protect me without saying anything to me."

Of course, she would not admit that she had gone with the flow in order to extract information from Qi Ming in the future.

Qi Wan is not easy to fool, and the old man is obviously very experienced, so he might be difficult to approach.

The maid Xiaoliu should be able to tell you everything she knows.

but.

After so many years, it's hard to say for sure. We have to find an opportunity to test it out. In addition, Xia Liu is in the second-grade slave area. She can't just cross the area for no reason. It will definitely arouse suspicion!

After thinking about it...

The little sister of the Qi family is easy and convenient to deceive.

"Fang Shengsheng, I'm warning you, don't plot against my sister."

After careful observation yesterday and brief contact today, Qi Wan has determined that Xia Li is definitely not a simple person. Not only is his strength unpredictable... his mind is deep, no less than Cheng Qian and other century-old ghosts.

"...Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"What? How can you be so rude?"

Xia Li didn't care about the other party's threats, he just kept walking forward and ignored the warnings.

Qi Wan is a warrior slave, and she is the caretaker of the slave area.

Unless the other party wants to be severely punished, he will not act rashly. Moreover, it seems that he has made some kind of deal with Cheng Qian. It seems that he will not kill the tenth soul casually...

Moreover.

Even if Qi Wan got angry, Xia Li would not be afraid.

It's still unclear who will suppress whom, don't look at the fact that she is one rank lower!

"The ghosts hate the living, so they despise humans."

"...Essentially, it's because they realize they can never go back to the past and regain a vibrant life, and this is caused by a deep inferiority complex in their bones."

"But there is one exception among the ghosts, who still considers himself a [human]."

Xia Li's leisurely and relaxed steps gradually slowed down, and she walked slower and slower.

Just because the other party's words brought her unimaginable shock.

She had always thought that she was the only one who knew her mentality, no one knew it...

As a knowledgeable time traveler, she knows clearly what kind of circumstances and crises a thing will face when it is different from all its peers!

"This ghost is called 'Alien'."

"Whenever they appear, they are never tolerated by the entire clan!"

Shengsheng was startled.

Sure enough, she guessed it right...

People like me are completely different from other ghosts. Even if I touch the Yang Stone, which is the most powerful ghost-controlling stone, I feel nothing... If I am exposed, there will definitely be no good ending.

"Oh?"

The girl stopped and turned around.

He looked at Qi Wan with a calm look.

"So there are such strange creatures among our ghosts. They are so close to you humans, they deserve to be killed."

"Stop pretending, Fang Shengsheng, you... are the alien species among the ghosts!"

The atmosphere in the secret passage was stagnant for a moment.

It was like the biting icy wind on the ice field, bringing with it biting cold and suffocation.

It was a moment, and yet it seemed like a long time had passed...

A smile suddenly appeared on Shengsheng's gloomy little face.

"Where did the eldest sister of the Qi family come from?"

"It all started with a secret method I obtained ten years ago that could distinguish the auras of different species of ghosts."

"is it?"

"good."

Finished speaking.

In the dark passage without light, two pairs of eyes stared at each other. One was calm, the other was sharp...

In a trance.

The murderous intent flashed across the girl's clear eyes like lightning.

"...You have to understand, Qi Wan. Killing you right now is like killing a pheasant."

a long time.

The sound as clear as the song of an oriole came out from the mouth of the sheng sheng tan. But such a beautiful voice was used to tell bloody words.

Yes, Xia Li would never let someone who knew his biggest secret live.

She has decided to kill Qi Wan, but has not yet figured out how to deal with the aftermath. However, as she said, the other party locked in the Yinyu shackles is like a fish on a chopping board...

I wonder where he got the courage to threaten her?

It was precisely because of this doubt that Sheng Sheng did not take action immediately.

"Of course I know."

The woman remained calm when facing Xia Li, who was full of murderous intent.
