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

If she really did this, it would be equivalent to separating Shengsheng's soul from her.

And Mou Sheng, who had made up his mind not to harm Ming Chuyao, would naturally not let this happen.

After Shengsheng's three consecutive subtle hints.

Finally, under the other party's reluctant gaze, he got the Yin Ning Knife back.

At this time, Shengsheng felt that Ming Chuyao had begun to accept her identity... A girl who had just arrived in Jufang Yunlu was robbed by a demon princess. She killed her in anger to protect her reputation. She ran into their overseas compatriots while fleeing from trouble.

"I wonder what Daoist Fellow Xia Li is planning next?"

--coming.

Shengsheng is such a smart guy. As soon as he heard this, he knew that what was supposed to come had finally arrived.

She delivered the speech she had prepared for a long time.

Of course, he didn't say it immediately, but pretended to think about it and looked sad.

"Of course we should leave the Far East as soon as possible. After all, this is the White Tiger Tribe's lair. But..."

"...I'm new here, and as for geography... well, forget it, there's always a way when you get to the top of the mountain."

After finishing speaking, Shengsheng did not look at Ming Chuyao, but looked at the dimly lit distance, as if there was a confusing and unknown way to survive there.

"Why don't you walk with us for a while?"

Seeing Shengsheng so sad, Ming Chuyao, who had initially agreed with her, couldn't help but took the initiative to invite her.

There is a difference between actively inviting and requesting to join. The latter will make cautious people always think that you have ulterior motives. If someone she has just met asks to join Shengsheng's team, and she can't refuse for some reason... Shengsheng will definitely keep a close eye on the person until he leaves or dies.

"It just so happens that we are also leaving the Far East and heading to the Eastern Sandu, and then taking another route..."

"Cough cough!"

The maid Dong Chong suddenly coughed violently, interrupting what her mistress was saying.

Ming Chuyao knew that she had said it too easily, but considering that she was shouldering an important responsibility for the clan, she should not reveal her itinerary. Even though this fellow clan member gave her a very good impression, she couldn't do that.

Chapter 51: Encountering a Tiger Mom, the Worst Case Scenario!

"Traveling together? That couldn't be better."

Shengsheng had a delighted look on her face, and seemed not to notice the maid Dong Chong's interruption and hint to Ming Chuyao.

Simultaneously.

He did not act cold and reserved, but agreed very naturally, with a sense of frankness in his words.

"Actually, I'm new here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. I was just worrying about how to get to Dongsandu as quickly as possible. If I take the wrong road and run into the White Tiger Clan's lair, I'll be in big trouble."

Shengsheng didn't say this casually. Just thinking about that scene made her feel a chill down her spine.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I am familiar with the Far East and the Three Cities."

Xia Li's frankness in expressing her shortcomings and concerns made Ming Chuyao feel that she was not a scheming person. And because of her stunning appearance, anyone would feel pity for her if she showed weakness like this...

Even though Ming Chuyao was devoted to Taoism and had no selfish desires, he still looked at Shengsheng twice more at this moment, and felt an imperceptible sense of responsibility towards this weak tribesman in front of him.

——Our clan has always been weak, and there are few people like Xia Li who are willing to fight back at all costs. With such a determination, she may achieve great things. As a descendant of Ming Zun, I should protect her.

Although Shengsheng is bright and beautiful, Ming Chuyao is not tempted by her beauty. She just thinks that Shengsheng has a promising future from the perspective of the human race, so she is determined to protect her well.

We cannot let this brave fellow die at the hands of the White Tiger tribe’s strongmen.

of course.

Ming Chuyao has been following Ming Qi since he was a child, and has been influenced by him. He regards protecting humanity as his own responsibility. He is very calm and reserved in what he says and does.

Her thoughts on protecting Xia Li are all contained in the four words "no need to worry", which are simple but fulfilling.

Fortunately, Shengsheng is a smart girl. If she were a dumber person, she might not have noticed it, but she immediately understood it.

"Great! Hold my thighs."

The girl was secretly delighted but remained expressionless.

After that, they said a few more words, mostly thanking and saying you're welcome, and the four of them continued on their way. After all, they all had their own reasons for leaving the Far East, so they couldn't delay any longer.

With a guide who knew the route well, nothing happened along the way...

After walking for about three days, they stopped by a clear lake to rest for a while.

At this moment.

Chanbao's voice suddenly came from the bottom of my heart. She always spoke directly.

"Xia Li, someone is spying on you."

"Ah! Who is it?"

Shengsheng was dark and cold.

This is an extraordinary period. Even though nothing happened along the way, her nerves were always on edge, and she was paying close attention to any movement on the road.

Now Chi Chan said that someone was spying on her, how could Sheng Sheng not be nervous?

"Spiritual energy is elusive and hard to find, but at least he has reached the Qi Root Realm."

Hearing this, Shengsheng's expression changed slightly.

Fortunately, she was washing her face with water at the moment, so even if someone was peeping, they would not be able to see the subtle changes in her expression. The girl's movements did not pause at all, and she remained as natural as before.

But in her heart, her thoughts were racing, and she was intricately connected...

Shengsheng has always been clear that Chanbao must have been a giant in a certain era before he became a weapon spirit. Although Shengsheng's perception is powerful, there is still a gap between him and Chichan.

At this moment, even Chichan said that he was elusive and hard to find, and could only sense that someone was spying on him.

This shows that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person in the Six Qi Root Realm. It is very likely that he possesses a secret treasure or is even a Fire-Dwelling Spirit Immortal at the peak of the Qi Root Realm!

The latter possibility is the most terrifying for Shengsheng.

Because... the mother of the White Tiger Princess Yu Xuan, who was killed by her own hands, was a strong person of this level. At this stage, there is no difference between crushing Sheng Sheng to death and crushing an ant.

——It can’t be such a coincidence, right?

The girl thought to herself.

Despite this fluke mentality, she assumed the worst-case scenario when considering how to deal with the situation.

——Qiu Xuan was killed. As her mother, Qi Yingshao should have some way to sense it.

——If we are very far away from Pingjun City when we sense it, there is a certain possibility that we will encounter it on the way out... So, let's assume that the person who is spying on us is Xuan Xuan's mother, and because of her high level of cultivation or blood relationship secrets, she suddenly targeted us.

At this time, what should we do to eliminate the other party's suspicion?

"Have it!"

Shengsheng was very clever. Although a huge danger was approaching, the greater the crisis, the more alert she became. As her thoughts raced, she had already simulated various situations in her mind.

First, let’s still assume the worst case scenario where the peeper is someone like Qu Yingshao.

If they continued on their journey after resting and walked towards Dongsandu, it would definitely deepen Qu Yingshao's suspicion.

The way to eliminate the other party's doubts is naturally...

——Do the opposite!

The unknown murderer killed Qu Xuan, he must have wanted to escape from Pingjun City, or even the Far East.

Then.

At this time, the wanderers who returned to Pingjun City from other places were basically not suspected. Anyone with a normal mind would make this judgment... Because the other party was just peeping, Shengsheng concluded that he was not absolutely sure that she was the murderer.

It is very likely that the blood relationship between mother and daughter is some mysterious thing that made her stop and observe after encountering Shengsheng.

But... there's not much time left.

Having just stopped by the Qing Lake, the four of them only wanted to rest for a while, that is, to wash their faces and tidy up their appearance.

Under the other party's prying eyes, they naturally could not whisper to each other and tell Ming Chuyao and the other two where the danger was.

What's worse is that Dong Chong is a gossiper. If he suddenly goes crazy and mentions the fact that Sheng Sheng killed Niu Xuan when they are on the road, we will be doomed.

——We must walk in the opposite direction after resting to directly eliminate the suspicion of unknown peepers.

——Otherwise, the night will be long and full of dreams!

In a short period of time, Shengsheng had figured it all out.

Normal whispering is definitely not allowed, but this information must be notified to Ming Chuyao.

After observing for a few days, she found that the master and servant had a very good understanding. As long as Ming Chuyao took the lead and walked back, the two servants of Cordyceps would not reveal any flaws.

"That's all."

I quickly simulated it three times in my mind, making sure that there were no problems with the posture, angle, expression and tone.

Shengsheng's acting skills are at their best.

She had just finished cleaning and seemed to suddenly think of something very happy.

"That's right! This time when we return to Pingjun City, we must be good... Oh~!"

As she quickly stood up, she turned to talk to Ming Chuyao who was not far away from her, but because she was too excited, she did not pay attention to her feet and was tripped by an inconspicuous stone by the lake.

But at least I was asking the second monk, so even if I was careless and tripped, I would be able to adjust in time.

Unfortunately, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just as he was about to steady himself, he heard a sudden "ripping" sound.

original.

While the sheng was being cleaned, one of its side skirts was caught by the sharp corner of another stone.

After all this pulling and tugging, she finally made a fool of herself and fell heavily to the ground... Not only that, a large piece of her skirt was torn off, revealing her slender, white legs.

It happened so fast...

Ming Chuyao stretched out her arms and caught Shengsheng, who had fallen to the ground, in time.

But I don't know how the other party fell like this. The force was not small, and the momentum did not decrease after crashing into Ming Chuyao's arms. During this process, Xia Li's lips actually brushed the corner of Ming Chuyao's lips, and slid directly to the ear hole along the diagonal line of the cheekbone.

It was at that moment.

An extremely slight sound, so weak that it was almost inaudible, entered my ears.

"There is an immortal watching..."

"We'll go back later."

Chapter 52 I forgive you~

Immortal Lord.

It is a respectful title for the strong ones in the Qi Root Realm, and they can also be called Spiritual Immortals. Therefore, the peak of the Qi Root Realm is called "Fire-Dwelling Spiritual Immortal".

Ming Chuyao was a little confused at the moment when Shengsheng bumped her into his arms at a calculated angle and whispered to her softly.

What a sweet and burning breath, like a meteor across the sky, fleeting but leaving behind a shining trace... But her reaction was not slow, she was stunned for only a moment, and soon realized that everything that had just happened was done intentionally by Xia Li.

The other party wants to convey information through this coincidental and obscure way.

"Her body is so soft... No! There is actually an immortal watching from the side. Could it be that there is a flaw in my mother's plan? Has he been following and spying on her all along, or did it just happen?"

After hearing Xia Li's warning, Ming Chuyao's thoughts also raced.

but.

Perhaps it was because Shengsheng's delicate body was too soft, which left a very deep impression on her, so Ming Chuyao's thoughts couldn't help but deviate before she thought about it.

Fortunately, his determination to pursue the Tao was as strong as iron and steel, and he was able to block out all distracting thoughts in an instant.

"The Immortal Lord's spying on Runyu was silent and traceless. Even Xia Cao didn't notice it. How did she know?"

"Xia Li is more scheming than I thought, and she has some secret means hidden, either magic treasures or secret methods. The person who can kill the princess of the demon tribe is indeed not a simple person... It seems that what mother said is right. The hearts of people in the world are treacherous, and we really can't trust people easily."

While being wary of the Immortal Lord's prying eyes.

Because of Shengsheng's performance at this moment, Ming Chuyao began to realize that Shengsheng was not the simple, ignorant and weak person he had imagined.

Instead, he was hiding his true abilities and managed to deceive them all during the brief contact three days ago.

What a powerful method this is.

Over the years, Ming Chuyao had only seen important figures of the same status as her mother and Aunt Yu.

If a moment ago, if she had discovered that Xia Li was such a scheming and unfathomable woman.
