Chapter 17

"You seem to know me?"

Xiu Qi smiled slightly at her, with a few traces of inquiry hidden in his eyes.

"It feels like deja vu, maybe, I saw it in a dream."

Cheng An coughed lightly, stiffened his neck, and made up nonsense in a serious manner, which seemed normal, but his words were a bit awkward, a bit like a disciple who came up to pick up a pretty girl.

Just now she didn't realize that she could meet Xiu Qi in Guping City, and she confiscated her emotions.

Xiu Qi chuckled, stopped asking any more questions, raised his hand, and picked off the big yellow flower in her picture.

"Oleander is poisonous, just enjoy it for a while. Don't eat it, and don't touch it with a wound."

He explained a few words in detail, and handed them to Cheng An who was standing by the side in a daze.

"..."

Cheng An couldn't help but cast his eyes on him for a moment.

Seeing that his complexion was the same as before, extremely fair, his breathing was even and steady, and there were no visible wounds all over his body, he was relieved like he was relieved.

She immediately raised the corners of her lips, raised her hand and accepted the oleander with a smile.

"Thanks."

Although Xiu Qi is a ghost king, his aura is not at all eerie and bloody that a ghost king should have, it is very clean and gentle.

If he mixes with the crowd, ordinary people can't imagine that such a humble and considerate gentleman is actually a ghost king who sits in the bloody land of a hundred thousand miles in the ghost world.

"It's just a little bit of effort."

With his back against the sun, Xiu Qi cupped his hands and said goodbye, his brows and eyes were full of gentleness and elegance: "Then, I still have something important to do, so let's go ahead."

"Um."

Cheng An muttered in response from time to time in a trance, but his memory drifted back to the time when he first met Xiu Qi.

At that time, she was being chased by human cultivators and immortals everywhere, and she had nowhere to go and entered the ghost world, but she was tricked and pushed into the abyss of the ghost cave.

There are not only fierce ghosts in the abyss, but also all kinds of foul-smelling ghosts. Groups of ghosts linger and devour each other. Cheng An desperately crawls out from the pile of corpses.

But the serious injury has not recovered at all, just in time for the transformation of the corpse king.

When her spiritual body was damaged everywhere and her despair was almost dissipated, Xiu Qi, who was exploring the abyss, happened to pass by and killed the corpse king with one palm.

When he led her step by step through the long scarlet river of blood, he also had such an easy-going and refined smile on his face.

After that, she decided to stay in the ghost world and work for Xiuqi, and she has a place to live since then.

All of Cheng An's dignity, status, knowledge and strength, in the final analysis, all come from the young ghost king in front of him.

It has nothing to do with Fengyue, such a great kindness, to Cheng

As far as An is concerned, there is no repayment unless you go through fire and water, and you cannot repay unless you die.

Just as Xiuqi turned to leave, Cheng An finally couldn't help calling out:

"My lord stay here."

The foot just stepped stopped, Xiu Qi nodded and turned around, said with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

"No...no. I'm just curious."

Cheng An restrained his emotions, put on an appearance that he had never seen him before, and coughed lightly:

"It looks like you are also a pilgrim from the Immortal Temple? I have never seen it before."

She just felt a little strange.

Xiuqi Tangtang, a ghost king, came to Siming Xingjun Temple in Guping City to do something.

"The girl has never seen it before."

Xiuqi is patient: "My home is a distance from here. I heard that the fairy temple here is efficacious, so I came here to pray. But it's a bit late here tonight, so I have to stay here."

That's right, Fengdu is far away.

Three thousand miles away.

As for staying... She naturally didn't believe it at all.

If Si Ming Xingjun knew that he was here, he would be scared out of his wits.

Seeing that he was unwilling to express his intentions, Cheng An did not expose his words.

Maybe Xiuqi felt too spring breeze, Cheng An held the fresh and tender oleander petals in his hand, and his mood improved a lot for no reason.

She wanted to walk out of the sea of flowers with him.

Unexpectedly, he shook his head: "The flowers are blooming here, and outsiders can't see the scene clearly. You and I will go out together. I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the girl. I will come out from the other side."

"..."

Cheng An couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The boss has been a ghost king for at least a thousand years, and he knows these miscellaneous things about mortals better than her.

Thinking of this, don't know how many so-called literati are more honest and gentlemen.

Even so, Cheng An still felt a little pity in his heart.

Maybe in the future... Seeing the old friend again will be the time to step into the ghost world.

Seemingly seeing Cheng An's thoughts, he clasped his hands again and chuckled, and said slowly: "If there is a destiny, we will meet again."

There was an inexplicable calming power in his words, which made Cheng An feel at ease for no reason.

That's right, see you for sure.

She is familiar with all the places in the ghost world, and she will go to the Ghost King Palace when she has enough cultivation, so there is no need to rush for a while.

With such affirmation in her heart, she held the oleander in her hand, nodded to him, smiled a little, said goodbye, and walked out of the oleander bush calmly.

The phlox was in full bloom, and the flower branches that blocked her view were almost exhausted. The red jade stood under the temple wall holding things for her, and the fairy who had led the way was nowhere to be seen.

Cheng An was about to greet her, but unexpectedly

There was a skinny young man standing opposite her.

...

Isn't this Xiao Wu, Xie Zhan's personal servant?

The arc of Cheng An's lips froze just now.

Sure enough, she immediately turned her head and looked towards the entrance of the Immortal Temple. There was a very familiar pure white tall horse in solid armor parked in front of it.

That is, Xie Zhan's war horse...

Cheng An only felt his head hurt again.

Why does she always meet Xie Zhan every time she goes out.

Could it be that in his busy schedule, he still has that spare time to find someone to follow him.

correct!

Her eyes trembled for a moment.

She suddenly remembered something very important...

Before the thunder calamity, Xiu Qi confronted Xie Zhan on the other side of the sound transmission mirror...

She frowned secretly.

It must have been the thunder that broke her brain that day, such an important matter, it was only when she saw Xiu Qi just now, that she didn't come out of the sea of consciousness.

It can't all depend on Cheng An

Although the ghost world and the fairy world are said to be incompatible on the surface, and they are strangled to death, but overall they can barely be considered to be in peace with each other.

Xianmen never set foot within Fengdu's territory, and ghosts also never entered beyond Buzhou Mountain.

For thousands of years, it is said that Xiu Qi and Xie Zhan have never met each other, so there is no blood feud at all.

Who knew that on that day, Xianmen suddenly attacked the ghost world without warning, catching them off guard.

When she was thinking deeply about the grievances between these two people, she suddenly heard a deep voice above her head:

"Watch your step."

"..."

Cheng An stopped when she heard the sound, and there was a rock in front of her that was just right enough to trip her.

"Why are you here."

She took a step back silently, raised her eyes to look at Xie Zhan, and frowned.

"To remind you not to trip." Xie Zhan said slowly, and said two words coolly, "Ma'am."

Even though he knew that he had no emotion and just said these two words specially to disgust her, Cheng An still made his skin crawl when he called Mrs.

In front of Hongyu Xiaowu, she really couldn't resist.

She twitched the corners of her lips: "I thought it was boring to come to the military camp today, but I asked the eldest son to come here ten miles away to remind me."

"Not as good as madam." Xie Zhan didn't lift his eyelids, "I made a special trip to pick poisonous flowers for viewing."

...

Do your shit.

Cheng An heheed twice, brought the oleander in front of him, purposely moved closer to sniff it, and said, "I picked this flower, and I'm here to reward it." It has nothing to do with you.

She didn't say the last half of the sentence, but the layer of disgust under Chun Che's eyes had already overwhelmed her.

Her emotions were all exposed.

Seeing this, Xie Zhan stepped off his silver boots and paused slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and then walked towards the wing room.

The two were silent all the way, when they reached the guest room, it was dark, Hong Yu and Xiao Wu left to watch the night.

A very embarrassing thing happened.

Knowing about the relationship between Xie Zhan and Cheng An, the fairy envoy only arranged a room.

"..."

Cheng An rubbed his forehead, not afraid, he opened the door and walked into the room. Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sky, he placed the oleander on the wooden table, took the fire folder, and lit a candle on one side.

The Immortal Temple is no better than the Xie Mansion, the candlelight has only one wick, which makes the room dark.

Xie Zhan entered the door behind and stood at the door. Before taking a seat, he saw through her doubts: "What do you want to ask?"

...

...

Cheng An paused the hand holding the fire folder, and secretly doubted himself for a moment.

I'm afraid Xie Zhan still has the ability to read people's minds?

She sat on the wooden chair in the side room with a sullen face, and said bluntly: "Then I will ask, how does Your Highness view the ghost world?"

"Ghost world?"

Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes: "The ghost world in the past was barely a clean place. But now...heh."

This word is very spiritual.

Disdain, contempt and murderous intent all remain in it.

Although I know that the ghost world is not a good place, but letting others say that about my home, especially Xie Zhan, always makes people unhappy.

Cheng An frowned, somewhat worried: "Ever? Why is it not clean now?"

"Bloody and indiscriminate killing is naturally unclean."

Xie Zhan took his seat slowly, and then talked about another matter, "As for the fact that it used to be clean, it was because the demons used to cultivate the essence of the sun and the moon as food, and they didn't need to absorb the spiritual power of others, let alone devour the souls of living beings."

"..."

Cheng An was stunned for a moment, slightly startled.

Xie Zhan spoke so seriously that she couldn't tell whether this person was cheating on her for a while.

To practice demons and ghosts, one must devour a large amount of essence, blood and souls. This is not only the rule of the ghost world, but also the common sense of the immortal sect.

Even she has sucked the soul of a stranger to improve her cultivation.

It's just that I can guarantee that the people I kill are all heinous people who deserve to die.

"Why does the practice of demons and ghosts depend on human spirit?" Cheng An frowned, a little puzzled.

"Because of the appearance of a person."

Xie Zhan's eyes gradually darkened, and he looked straight at her with a peaceful gaze, but there was a strong murderous aura hidden in it.

Through his eyes, Cheng An instantly understood what he meant.

"You mean, Xiu...the King of Ghosts?"

she whispered him

The person who didn't say anything, then shook his head and said firmly:

"It's definitely not him."

She knows her boss.

Although he is a ghost king, Xiuqi has no pretensions of a ghost king. Not only is he not cruel and vicious, but he can even be regarded as benevolent when he treats his subordinates and even the little ghosts in the world.

Sometimes when someone made rude remarks to him or offended him in other ways, she would have wanted to whip her to death when she saw him, but he himself could chuckle lightly and ignore it.

A typical example... is Li Chu, who guards the gate of Fengdu City.

In front of the group of ghosts, Li Chu once said that the ghost king is indecisive, avoids the fairy world everywhere, does not have the blood that the ghost world should have, and is not very strong, and relies on Cheng An and other ghost generals to protect him all day long..

She was there at the time, but she was so angry that she almost got into a fight with Li Chu, but in the end Xiu Qi told her to stop.

There are many such things, and she has always been suspicious in her anger, how did Xiu Qi sit firmly in the position of ghost king for so many years.

"What? You seem to know the ghost king?"

Xie Zhan was expressionless and shamelessly pretended not to know anything.

"Forget it."

"You know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, Cheng An." He raised his eyes to stare at Cheng An, his dark eyes were serious, and the words that he wanted to persuade, turned into...

"It's good to do it for yourself."

After speaking, he realized that something was wrong.

...

In fact, what he just wanted to say was "to know people clearly".
