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

Hearing the other party's cordial invitation, Shengsheng almost agreed without hesitation.

Fortunately, Zhuzi's slender hands were slightly cold, and she tightly grasped the back of Shengsheng's hand. The continuous force allowed the girl to maintain the last bit of clarity in her mind.

She gritted her teeth, followed the instructions of the person next to her, and refused to speak to the figure.

"Your Excellency has great cultivation, why do you have to tease a mere ordinary cultivator?"

This was the first time that Sheng Sheng felt Ning Youzhu was so serious.

Even when Xuanlun Fragmented Realm faced Tianshu Star, and talked about the various things of the Pure Land Master... Ning Yun called him by his name without any respect. He was arrogant in his bones, and Shengsheng, who was also proud, could see this more clearly than anyone else.

But, at this moment.

The other party personally said, "Your cultivation is extremely powerful," which is a direct acknowledgement that the figure holding a ball of candlelight above the East China Sea is very, very powerful.

The subtext of the second half of the sentence touched Sheng Sheng even more. 'Why tease a little Qufan monk?' translates to 'Whatever you want, come at me!'

Moreover, when Ning Youzhu finished speaking, he took a step forward.

She stretched out her bare hands and protected Shengsheng behind her.

"Hahahahaha..."

Probably able to sense the movement here, the figure holding the candle laughed again, and in his laughter there was the sound of rolling waves as always, but at the same time, it also concealed some kind of inexplicable joy.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll follow your advice, Daoist Brother Jiang You."

The candle held in the figure's hand flickered three times, and then tilted slightly to the left the moment he finished speaking.

In an instant...

It was as if a huge light was lighting up in the palm of her hand, which made Shengsheng, who had been staring at her, feel as if she was looking directly at the blazing sun at noon... The girl could not help but close her eyes, and when she opened them again, the extremely bright light had disappeared, and everything just now seemed false!

Looking again, there was only a faint light on the left side of the figure, like a sea road paved with stars.

"After so many years, I invite you to my house again for a chat. Are you willing?"

"can."

After about ten breaths, Ning Youzhu finally responded.

Her voice was as cold as always, and her reply was particularly brief.

The reason why Ning Youzhu delayed for so long was not because she was afraid of the other party's invitation, but because she was sending a message to Shengsheng to explain many things. For example...

"Xia Li, you have to take care of everyone in Tushan while I'm away."

"Huh? Come on, Youzhu, I can't even take care of myself. This is my first time here at Jufang Yunlu, so I don't know what it's like."

Just as Shengsheng said.

She wanted to cling to someone else's power. Coming to the strange and unknown Jufang Yunlu, who knew what would happen? How could she care about the lives of the Tushan people? Besides, these guys were all mirror images.

Xia Li does not have Ning Yun's quirk of having to find the true existence of those illusory shadows in the mirror.

According to Chichan...

At that time, the master of the Pure Land cast reflections in the mirror in Tushan Kingdom. Most of the original bodies of these reflections were human, but a few were non-human... In terms of time, since Cui Leng destroyed Tushan, more than a thousand years have passed. Unless the original bodies who have achieved success in cultivation are still there, the others are probably all dead.

It's obviously a thankless task, but I don't know why Bamboo insists on doing it.

Traveling around Jufang with Shengsheng is just like the years they walked hand in hand ten years after the Black Dragon fell from the sky. Isn't it happy? Isn't it sweet?

In this way, Shengsheng's biggest concern, safety, was also guaranteed.

Under Ning Youzhu's escort, when Shengsheng finds Sister Youzhu, he can persuade the latter to take her away...

After all, if there is a choice, Ning Xun is more gentle.

Ning Youzhu's moods are unpredictable, and her thoughts are hard to guess... Besides, Shengsheng thinks that the position of the humanoid spring thunder sword should be left to those who are willing to work hard and have a need. She doesn't want to be controlled by anyone, or to be on call at any time!

"I will take a head count after we return. If there are less than half of them, you will be held responsible."

"Ah this..."

It is clear.

Ning Youzhu was teaching Shengsheng how to do things and had no intention of discussing it with her.

So this is the reason why Shengsheng is unwilling to stay with her under the premise of ensuring his own safety.

"Okay, I'll take good care of them."

After much thought, the girl found no way to avoid Ning Jun's punishment, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Right~, when will you be back?"

"... Let me make it clear first, it can't take too long. If it gets too dangerous, I definitely won't be able to help... At most, I can do my best to look after you."

Perhaps out of gratitude for Ning Youzhu's protection when he faced unknown danger just now, Shengsheng told the truth this time.

If even she is in danger, my own life will definitely come first.

Ning Jun was naturally aware of Sheng Sheng's temperament, and had never intended to let her take care of him to the point of not caring about life and death. However, at this moment, Xia Li was rarely sincere in her words and deeds, and her brows softened unconsciously.

“Just do your best.”

"As for the time of return..."

In fact, Ning Jun herself didn’t know, and she didn’t even know why that person wanted to look for her.

Think of this.

She didn't want Sheng Sheng to be involved in this matter. It was too dangerous for Xia Li now... Therefore, she wanted to reply with the second half of the sentence "I don't know either".

became.

"......Nothing to do with you."

After saying this coldly, Ning Youzhu ignored Sheng Sheng anymore.

Traveling alone into the depths of the East China Sea.

Chapter 252: Is Chichan here?

"嘁~!"

Ning Youzhu was talking peacefully, but her face turned cold again.

Shengsheng was really fed up with this woman's mood swings, and she groaned inwardly, feeling quite dissatisfied. Of course, there was no sign of displeasure on her face.

As Xia Li watched Ning Jun walk away a hundred feet away, he felt his mind suddenly shake.

The previous silence and darkness disappeared...

Countless noisy sounds flooded into my ears.

"Look! Look what that is!"

"Could it be the shining sun, moon and stars mentioned in the Records of the Ancient Cui Leng Kingdom?"

"...That's not right. The book says that the light shines everywhere, but this feels a bit dark."

The time just now seemed to stand still, or perhaps it was passing extremely slowly.

In short.

After everything around returned to normal, the discussions of the people in Tushan could still be heard, as if the severed information flow was reconnected, without any sense of dislocation or strangeness.

"There's a fleet!"

"On the left... no, on the right... there are many ships on the right, in front and behind!"

At this time.

The people of the Tushan fleet began to notice something was wrong.

They had been sailing in the vast sea for such a long time before and had not seen any ships other than those of Tushan Kingdom. But the moment the light appeared ahead, everyone realized that their fleet had already merged into an extremely large stream of ships.

There are huge sea ships on all sides, front and back. The shapes of these ships are very different. Even ordinary people can tell at a glance that they are not of the same type.

——These are…?

At this moment, Shengsheng had already stood where Ning Jun had stood before, guarding the entire Tushan fleet for her.

In fact, she and Ning Jun had already noticed the environment they were in a split second before the candle-holding figure appeared. However, before Sheng Sheng had time to ask clearly, Ning Jun was invited away by the other party.

As a last resort, she had to ask for advice from a guy who was not very willing to pay attention to her, or who had been at odds with her since he woke up from the Spring Thunder Sword incident.

"Chichan~, look... Ning Jun is not here either, so we can talk like usual."

Long before setting out to sea.

Chi Chan, who had just woken up, had already told Sheng Sheng clearly, "Don't talk to me when that woman is here, not even if you think about it!" After making such a solemn statement, Chi Chan would never respond to Sheng Sheng's call no matter what, as long as Ning Youzhu was present.

During these days at sea, the only time I heard the sound of the red cicada was when I had just finished immersively reading the memories of Changgu Xun.

Ning Youzhu forced Shengsheng to stay at the bow of the boat while she ran back to take a shower and change clothes.

At that time, Chi Chan snorted coldly.

When Xia Li asked her what she was doing, she didn't answer and was in a weird mood. At that time, Mo Sheng felt very uncomfortable all over and didn't want to pay attention to her. After asking a few questions and getting no response, the matter ended.

"Red cicada?"

"Is Chichan here?"

After asking twice, there was still no response from the Mingjin Pot.

of course.

Now Shengsheng can vaguely sense the situation in the space in the center of the pot. That guy is clearly fine in there, and his spirit and aura are calm and steady.

There is nothing unusual, just pretend not to hear.

--Oops!

Shengsheng secretly thought that something was wrong.

If I had known this earlier, I should have asked Chichan why he wanted to be a humming monster.

But thinking back, she was really in trouble at that time. She was ordered by Zhuzi to stay at the bow to enjoy the sea breeze. She was in a bad mood to begin with, so how could she have the extra energy to care about Chichan's emotions... And this guy was always weird and nosy. He kept talking about the rules of the owner of the Mingjinhu, and that as a spirit of the artifact, he should have the duty of supervision and so on.

I can't tell her that I'm sad now.

Chichan will definitely ask you why you are sad?

Did Shengsheng want to tell Chichan the story of Changgu Yan, Kunlun'e, Dazhou Xian, and Chang Xi in detail? The moment this thought came to her mind, Shengsheng felt a chill and palpitations deep in his soul.

——No matter what, Chichan must not know about this!

Inexplicable.

Almost instinctive.

This thought passed through her mind...

Shengsheng has always been a person who trusts her intuition, so she ignored the whining person at that time, for fear that the other party would ask more and more questions and reveal everything in Changgu's memory fragments.

"But speaking of which...it's obviously a series of events caused by Changgu's beauty, why can't Chichan know about it? This has nothing to do with me, Xia Shengsheng?"

——In? Is there something wrong with my intuition?

"Is Chichan here? Is Chichan here?"

A variety of chaotic thoughts flowed through his mind, but the telepathic communication calling the spirit of the weapon never stopped.

This is the little experience that Shengsheng has summed up from her long-term relationship with the dog Chichan. As long as she calls the other party endlessly, it will cause Miss Qiling to feel extremely uncomfortable...

Conversely, the same is true!

after all......

Who the hell is the one that keeps chattering in your heart and ears? You'd be annoyed to death too if it were you!

"Who is Chichan? I don't know him."

really.

Gou Chichan still couldn't withstand Shengsheng's deadly series of attacks, but although his tone of reply was calm, and his voice didn't contain any emotion...but Shengsheng had already figured out his temperament, and smiled secretly in his heart.

At this time, you absolutely cannot go against its rhythm, you should touch the dog's fur in the right direction~.

"what?!"

Xia Li pretended to be surprised.
