Chapter 33 33%

Under the moon, Shen Rongyu's figure seemed to be enveloped in a layer of light smoke. When he returned, he seemed to be stained with the mist in the forest, with a little water stain on his sleeve.

When he entered, the door that would creak when pushed made no sound.

The one who was resting on Ji Qingzhuo's sleeve woke up first, and it flapped its wings and flew towards Shen Rongyu, but Shen Rongyu ignored it.

It screamed and wanted to attract Shen Rongyu's attention, but Shen Rongyu felt it was noisy, so she pinched its mouth, and could only whimper twice, and ran to the side to play.

Shen Rongyu stepped on the water, and the hem of her clothes embroidered with Bai Tan fell on the water, silently.

The night wind blows, it is now the season of late summer and autumn, and the night wind is getting colder. The day was hot, Ji Qingzhuo was still wearing her light clothes, which Shen Rongyu took her to buy at the market last time. The pale pink clothes unfolded like flowers.

When Ji Qingzhuo was sleeping, he was always used to shrinking himself to a small size. It was the same here in Shen Rongyu. His hands and feet were curled up. Fist, resting his head on his head.

When she slept, she never dreamed, and sometimes felt a little nervous. For example, here in Shen Rongyu, the night wind was cool, and she couldn't help but think of the killing intent she had sensed in front of Jiang Qianke several times.

She could sense the system's warnings in every formation class that followed. When Jiang Qianke's eyes collided, his eyes were calm and harmless, in sharp contrast to the clear warning sound.

The sleeping Ji Qingzhuo clenched his hands tightly. Shen Rongyu had walked up to her. He leaned over, hugged her in half, and called in her ear, "Zhuzhuo?"

Ji Qingzhuo has been nervous recently and has not slept well. In Shen Rongyu's place, she was able to fall asleep unexpectedly, so she did not answer him.

Shen Rongyu noticed the faint blue and black in her eyes, and only picked her up. The ribbons decorated on her sleeves fell down, and the end reached a knot. It was in the shape of a flower, delicate and lovely.

Ji Qingzhuo tilted her head in his arms and was still asleep. She woke up several times in the night before, and it has been a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep experience.

"Zuo Zhuo." Shen Rongyu called again, but still didn't answer.

It was cold outside the house, and it was still on the water. After sleeping for a long time, it was inevitable that she would hurt her body. Helpless, Shen Rongyu could only carry her into the house.

Holding her in both hands, he pushed the door open with his toes. Inside the house, a gleaming lamp was burning, the light was dim, and the moonlight outside the door was even brighter.

Ji Qingzhuo lay on his shoulders, fell asleep, and her breathing was calm.

Shen Rongyu turned her head sideways and looked at her profile. On her fair and delicate neck, there were delicately shaped ears without any decorations. One of Bai Yingying's earlobes did not turn red from shyness.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember what Ji Qingzhuo said to him some time ago.

- "I don't taste good."

Shen Rongyu lowered her head like a ghost and took a bite on her earlobe, and the big palm that he wrapped around her back slowly tightened.

A small and light piece of wood, just like that, was held in his arms, as if it could do anything.

Ji Qingzhuo felt it, but she hadn't woken up yet, she was extremely sleepy, and Shen Rongyu was the only person she knew in this world of immortality.

She turned her head and rubbed her head against the side of his neck because her ears were itchy.

Shen Rongyu raised his neck, he seemed to be avoiding her, and seemed to be enjoying such an intimate touch.

The shadows of candles and lights in the house swayed, reflecting the two figures on the wall, like rippling water.

In the end, Shen Rongyu still whispered to her: "If you want to sleep, go to bed."

Ji Qingzhuo didn't answer him, but he still put her on his bed, there was no way, there was only such a bed in the yard.

Her body fell on the couch, she quickly turned over, and automatically shrank to the far corner, holding the quilt. This was the safest way for her to sleep.

Shen Rongyu looked down at her, Ji Qingzhuo's long eyelashes trembled, and she fell asleep.

He seemed to know why Ji Qingzhuo had not slept well these days. His hand gently stroked the Snow Buried Sword around his waist, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

Ji Qingzhuo didn't answer him, and in her deep sleep, his voice seemed to get into her ears.

Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she wanted to continue sleeping, so she could only answer him in Chaos's consciousness: "Well."

"Jiang Qianke?" Shen Rongyu asked. He came up and sat on the side of the bed. He knew that Ji Qingzhuo was not awake. He looked at the moonlight outside the door and asked in a very soft voice.

When Ji Qingzhuo heard the name, her hand gripping the quilt quickly clenched tightly. This was what she didn't understand the most. She had no grievances with Jiang Qianke, so why did she kill her?

She replied again, "Yeah."

Shen Rongyu looked at her slightly frowning eyebrows, her voice became crisp and clear, like a dagger that fell into the water, breaking the water surface.

"Then kill it," he said.

Shen Rongyu turned around and went out, and brought the door to Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo woke up after sleeping for a long time. She hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time. When she woke up, she could smell the familiar aroma on the bed.

She quickly rolled over from the bed and sat up, and found that she was indeed in Shen Rongyu's room.

Ji Qingzhuo was startled, she didn't expect that she had a desertion and slept for so long, she rolled over from the bed and sat up, and saw that her shoes were neatly placed on the side of the bed.

He stretched his feet out, his bare toes curled up, glowing white in the dim light of the house.

It was Shen Rongyu who took off her shoes, Ji Qingzhuo thought, once she had this idea, she quickly shrank back as soon as her toes touched the vamp.

She couldn't help thinking in her mind how Shen Rongyu leaned over to help her take off her shoes while she was sleeping, and his hair would fall from his shoulders, land on the instep of hers, and scratch gently.

Ji Qingzhuo clapped his cheek with one hand and forced himself to forget these pictures.

She just woke up and had a headache. She pushed open the door and went to find Shen Rongyu outside the hospital. She wanted to apologize to him, but accidentally fell asleep with him.

It's all to blame for the damn alarm, she hasn't slept well these days.

Shen Rongyu leaned on the bamboo couch, his pale figure was like the shadow of the full moon in the night sky. This time, he did not wipe the sword, the Snow Burying Sword was placed on the wooden table beside him, and he looked down at the paper in his hand.

If Ji Qingzhuo looked closer, she could see that the page in his hand was drawing a familiar formation, which was the Peach Blossom Mist Formation that Jiang Qianke used to protect his body.

The Peach Blossom Mist Formation is not just a simple formation to guard Shuiyun Peak. This formation is connected to Jiang Qianke himself. If there is any danger, he can easily escape into the formation. As long as this formation is not broken, the power from the entire Shuiyun Peak will protect him.

——Unless the power to hurt him came from himself, such as the Soul Chasing Nail that suddenly backfired that night. Jiang Qianke has studied the formation method for many years, and he has never made the characteristics of the Peach Blossom Mist Formation public, but Shen Rongyu knows the secret of this formation, and through this, he also determined that it was Jiang Qianke's hand that night.

Hearing Ji Qingzhuo's footsteps, Shen Rongyu closed the pages of the book, and he looked back at her: "Wake up."

"Yeah." Ji Qingzhuo replied in a low voice. She picked up her skirt and walked out slowly. She was waiting here and had something important to say.

In fact, Xuan Yunzong left a lot of time for his disciples to practice. There were only one or two days a week where there were morning and afternoon classes. For the rest of the days, there were only morning classes. After the class, they could go back to practice individually.

Ji Qingzhuo's three-hour daily practice time is really not much compared to other disciples.

But she knew that she had to pull Shen Rongyu in her cultivation, and Shen Rongyu didn't have time to accompany her to practice all the time.

She thought she was wasting Shen Rongyu's time like this, but she didn't know that when Shen Rongyu was idle, she also wanted to collect the power of her disintegration, and cultivating with her unexpectedly could speed up the efficiency of recovery.

In a sense, this can also be regarded as a double cultivation.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu." Ji Qingzhuo walked to Shen Rongyu's side, she hesitated, not knowing how to make this unreasonable request.

For a long time, she seemed to think of something, and she felt that she had been ignoring one thing.

Now it is an undoubted fact that she can't cultivate herself, and Shen Rongyu actually has a way to use his body as an intermediary to introduce spiritual energy into her body. This ability... Is it Shen Rongyu's own ability, or a spell, magic weapon, etc. things?

If it's a foreign object, can she not bother Shen Rongyu, and she doesn't need to be in the cultivation space with him...

Hearing Ji Qingzhuo calling him, Shen Rongyu turned his head to the side, and his hair shone with silver light.

"What?" he asked, Ji Qingzhuo's figure reflected in his deep eyes.

"You gave me a way to cultivate... Can I use other spells, magic weapons, etc. instead?" Ji Qingzhuo asked tentatively.

When she heard the word "magic treasure", Shen Rongyu's eyes were slightly cold, and the thin ice at the bottom of her eyes became colder.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't look into his eyes, so she didn't notice the change. Her gaze moved down, just looking at the moon on his shoulder.

"No." Shen Rongyu's words were cold and hard.

This is not to perfunctory or deceive Ji Qingzhuo, because he knows that he is the only one who has such an ability in the whole world of immortality, and Ji Qingzhuo now obviously regards his ability as a common thing.

Nothing can replace him.

Shen Rongyu's eyes swept across Ji Qing's face: "If you don't want to, you don't need to look for me."

Ji Qingzhuo thought that Shen Rongyu might be annoyed, but her cultivation needs would indeed disturb his normal life.

She was a little anxious and at a loss as to what to do, so she couldn't help rubbing the small flower decorations hanging down from her waist.

Shen Rongyu stopped talking, he didn't even look at her anymore, and those who were playing in the yard had already fallen asleep again. At this time, there was no other sound in the yard except for the sound of wind, water, and breathing.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't know what to say, she blinked, became quiet, and lowered her head to count the patterns of embroidered flowers on her skirt.

After a long time, Shen Rongyu finally broke the silence: "I've waited until now, just to say this?"

"Elder Mu said that during the annual assessment, the cultivation base must reach the fifth level of Qi refining." Ji Qingzhuo said, she was a little helpless, and the end of her soft voice was lowered.

"If I want to reach the fifth level, according to the current practice progress, I have to add one or two hours of practice time every day." Ji Qingzhuo raised his eyes, his eyes went up along Shen Rongyu's chest, and finally stopped on his shoulder. , dare not move up.

"So?" Shen Rongyu asked, he actually understood what Ji Qingzhuo meant, but he still wanted to ask.

"If it takes such a long time, it should disturb your normal cultivation, right?" Ji Qingzhuo asked.

"Naturally not." Shen Rongyu replied quickly, "For this reason, do you want to find something else to replace me?"

Ji Qingzhuo was very honest, although she knew that it might be because of "finding something else to replace him" that made Shen Rongyu a little angry, but she still nodded: "Yes."

Shen Rongyu called her full name: "Ji Qingzhuo."

"Ah?" Ji Qingzhuo suddenly heard her full name from his mouth, and she was not used to it. She turned her head and looked at Shen Rongyu blankly.

Shen Rongyu grabbed her wrist and suddenly pulled her over. Ji Qingzhuo had no strength at all, so he fell into his arms after being taken by him.

Their skin was touching, and Shen Rongyu's voice came from the top of her head: "It may be three hours, five hours, any number of hours."

"Oh." Ji Qingzhuo weighed the progress of his own cultivation. It was known that according to the original cultivation speed of three hours a day, it would take so many days to reach the third level of Qi refining, and each improvement stage would increase the level of cultivation by a certain percentage. Therefore, in order to reach the fifth rank of Qi refining before the annual assessment, she needs on average daily—

"Four hours and five incense sticks are enough, not five hours." Ji Qingzhuo accurately calculated the average daily training time.

Shen Rongyu's hand holding her wrist tightened, his fingertips were warm, but his tone was still cold and hard, with a hint of hatred for iron not becoming steel: "Are you thinking about this?"

Ji Qingzhuo was confused: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, why not?"

She doesn't count the time required for cultivation, what is she thinking, isn't she trying to shorten the time to trouble him as much as possible?

"Wood," he said.

"Yeah." Ji Qingzhuo subconsciously responded.

After a while, she realized: "I'm not wood."

Shen Rongyu didn't argue with her anymore, he held down Ji Qingzhuo's wrist and started to help her practice.

Now for Ji Qingzhuo, she is used to the atmosphere of Shen Rongyu in the training space.

The red airflow that belonged to Shen Rongyu actually looked fierce, but in fact, it just rubbed against her and did nothing else, and in the end it would leave a little room for her to breathe.

Some time ago, the red air had been rubbing against her neck, but today, it's a little different.

Ji Qingzhuo turned her head sideways, and she noticed that the red air slowly climbed up until it came to her ear.

It was itchy, so her shoulders shrugged and avoided a little, but the air around her immediately tightened, preventing her from struggling.

Well, don't let it move, don't let it move, anyway, she has long known that Shen Rongyu is a big villain, and she usually looks so gentle in front of her, but when she arrives in the practice space, it will be revealed.

Ji Qingzhuo's neck was stiff and did not move, she felt someone bite her earlobe, neither light nor heavy, it was the lips that the red air flowed into.

Ji Qingzhuo was extremely helpless when she was just familiar with the touch he rubbed on the side of her neck, but now she had moved to another place. She closed her eyes and raised her hand to push away the red airflow that bit her earlobe.

As a result, he took another bite of her fingertips, biting whatever he caught, it was horrific.

He leaned up again, squeezed her hand away, and acted decisively. Ji Qingzhuo remembered that she reminded Shen Rongyu not long ago that she was not very tasty.

What is this doing now, isn't he afraid of sour?

Ji Qingzhuo was anxious and aggrieved, but she couldn't break free. In any case, she could not have imagined that the source of all this was her own words.

Whether it tastes good or not, of course, you have to taste it to know.

Today's practice has become much longer, Ji Qingzhuo is trying his best to avoid the red air flow, because she is afraid of itching, he pecks her, and her nerves will tremble.

When she finally quit the cultivation state, she couldn't stop rubbing her earlobe, Shen Rongyu looked down at her movements, thinking to herself if he secretly bit her while hugging her and was discovered.

He held her hands, pulled them apart a little, and asked her, "It's itchy?"

Shen Rongyu's voice was low, passing by her ear, Ji Qingzhuo tilted his head, not daring to face him: "It's not itchy."

She was a little annoyed and a little embarrassed, you see, he still asked, it was clearly he who bit him, and now he still asks her innocently.

Ji Qingzhuo withdrew his hand and hid his hand in his sleeve: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, I'm going back."

Shen Rongyu sent her back, but he was still puzzled. Logically, Ji Qingzhuo couldn't find out, but on the way back, she had raised her hand and touched her ears many times.

"Why are you still touching it?" he asked again, lowered his eyes.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu..." Ji Qingzhuo thought about it, but she still decided to say it so that Shen Rongyu could restrain herself.

"Didn't you bite?" Ji Qingzhuo asked him, she asked confidently.

Shen Rongyu: "..." Oops, it was discovered.

He didn't know how Ji Qingzhuo found out, but he thought it was revealed that he secretly bit her while she was sleeping.

"Then I won't bite next time." Shen Rongyu didn't look at her this time. He avoided her and looked at the fog in the forest in the distance, "Zuo Zhuo said last time that it wasn't delicious, just try it."

Ji Qingzhuo didn't expect that it was the consequence of her own words. She opened her lips and wanted to say something, but her words were incoherent and could not organize a complete language.

She really doesn't know how to speak, so she will talk less in the future, so Ji Qingzhuo said "um" and shut up.

Shen Rongyu sent her back in silence, and Ji Qingzhuo saw that he was quiet and had some emotions that he couldn't explain. Shen Rongyu has no way to control what she does in the cultivation space. She should and shouldn't stay awake. If she doesn't stay awake, in the final analysis, it's just a blend of two different breaths.

Aside from his current perfect disguise, he is indeed a very bad villain, and it is normal for him to do such a thing.

Ji Qingzhuo hated herself for being too awake. She didn't know why she was in the training space and still kept her consciousness clear.

So, he pushed Shen Rongyu's sleeve: "Isn't Senior Brother Xiaoyu going back?"

Shen Rongyu turned his head sideways, he looked at her, for a long time, the thin ice in his eyes seemed to be shining.

"Sorry," he said to her.

Ji Qingzhuo shook her head, her cheeks puffed up, she didn't know what to say, but she really wasn't annoyed.

Shen Rongyu left, and the figure disappeared into the forest.

Ji Qingzhuo immediately closed the courtyard door and pressed her back against the door. She heard her heart pounding.

When it was time to go to bed, her shyness had not dissipated, and even hugging her quilt on the bed was not used to it, because there was no smell of Shen Rongyu.

He is... a very strange person, Ji Qingzhuo thought.

Finally, before going to bed, she patted her forehead and reacted.

No, isn't she attacking the villain, why does it seem like he is attacking her now?

The author says:

Brother Xiaoyu is actually like this. Usually, he is very restrained in front of Zhuo Zhuo, but when he is in the cultivation space, he can't hide himself.

What Shen Rongyu was thinking: She is a piece of wood, I just want to cultivate with her, why doesn't she understand? She actually wants to find something else to replace me and I am jealous.

Ji Qingzhuo was thinking: What should I do with my annual test results? I must pass the training class. I have to calculate how long my training will be efficient when I have time.
