Chapter 38 [038] About to Arrive

There is indeed demonic energy.

I noticed it the moment I pushed open Zhongli Jin's door.

Shi Qing was very sensitive to demonic energy, so she still noticed it even though it only appeared for a moment.

This sensitivity may be a gift, or it may be due to a deep impression.

She walked into the boy's room and looked around.

Finally, the gaze fell on Zhongli Jin.

The young man sat on the bed, frowned slightly, and met Shi Qing's gaze, as if trying to find evidence of lying.

However, the girl's eyes were calm and serious, as if there really was some demonic aura here.

"Have you found it?" Zhong Li Jin asked in a deep voice, seeming half-believing and half-doubting.

Shi Qing shook his head: "It disappeared."

Disappeared too quickly.

It passed through the room like the wind and disappeared.

The last place I could sense was on Zhongli Jin's bed.

Shi Qing wanted to take another look, so he took a few steps forward and approached Zhongli Jin.

At this time, the young man on the bed suddenly tidied his clothes and pulled up his half-broken undershirt to cover the large area of ​​skin from his neck to his chest.

When resting at night, he would naturally take off his outer clothes and only keep his inner clothes. However, when he lay down and stood up again just now, the already loose collar of his clothes slid down a little more. When Shi Qing approached, he had to straighten it up.

The bright moonlight shone on Zhongli Jin's face, seeming to make the boy's skin look even whiter and highlight the red center of his eyebrows.

The black hair fell down very smoothly, draped over Zhongli Jin's shoulders. The bangs in front of his temples also hung vertically, just reaching his chest. At first glance, it looked like an alluring picture of a beauty under the moonlight.

"This is my room." Zhongli Jin suddenly spoke when Shi Qing was only three steps away from the bed.

Shi Qing stopped, said "hmm" as a response, and continued forward.

"How can you walk around a man's room at midnight?!" The boy's face finally turned red, and his eyes as delicate as obsidian were filled with shame and anger. He stared at Shi Qing and said, "Since you don't find the evil spirit again, please get out!"

Shi Qing sensed something wrong in Zhong Lijin's voice, as if she had touched upon something that the young man could not accept. She looked indifferent. Since the other party did not want her to investigate further, she respected that. So Shi Qing nodded and said, "Okay."

From the moment she entered the room to the bed, and then left and closed the door for the boy, her expression seemed to have never changed.

It seemed as if he was really just fulfilling his duty, patrolling at night.

The door was closed and Zhongli Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

But I suddenly felt a little agitated again.

Maybe it feels unbalanced.

——How come that guy can be so calm and expressionless when he comes in, while I have to be nervous and my voice trembles?

Obviously, if a normal woman breaks into a man’s room, she would blush and run away shyly.

Shi Qing...is she really a woman? !

[Junior, are you okay? I feel like you're very nervous, and even your body temperature has risen a lot.]

Zhong Lijin took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down: [I'm fine, it's just that - it seems like I always get irritated by someone's lack of manners.]

[Don't know the etiquette? Is it the girl in green from before? ]

[Yes, she was very arrogant and cold from the first time we met, which made me very angry. She was just like what Junior Sister said, she had a misunderstanding about marrying me, so she came to cancel the engagement as soon as I was deposed.]

The old man thought thoughtfully: [Is that so... This girl has a bad character. I was originally optimistic about her becoming my disciple's wife, but since you don't like her, forget it. However, the other girl in pink clothes is quite cute and well-behaved. What do you think of her? ]

Zhongli Jin: [……]

He has not yet agreed to be the old man's apprentice.

As a result, this person started looking for a wife for his apprentice? ?
[Senior,] Zhongli Jin said with a headache: [I have no interest in love affairs.]

[Ah, even if you don’t have love, it’s not bad to have a companion. ]

Zhongli Jin: […If you want me to be your disciple, don’t mention this matter again! ]

Old Man: […Tsk.]

Fine.

After the little episode just now, Zhongli Jin's depression was relieved a lot.

He lay down again, not because he had figured something out, but because he was interrupted. Now his mood could not return to the state he was in before.

[By the way, where are you going tonight, young man? ] the old man asked.

Zhongli Jin said: [I am now an alchemy disciple in the Baicao Pavilion of Sanqing Mountain. This time I went out with my senior brothers and sisters to pick herbs and replenish the medicine store. Now I am heading to Lingshen Mountain. ]

[Lingshen Mountain is great! It has beautiful scenery, abundant spiritual energy, various natural treasures, and a good feng shui for living. Staying there for a while will also be good for your spiritual roots! ]

[In addition to Lingshen Mountain, the fairy ship will go west to Tushiling Mountain and finally reach Huangquan Valley.] Zhongli Jin said.

The picking process lasts for a month, so naturally all the herbs that can be collected during this period must be taken away.

[Yellow Spring Valley? That's so lucky, young man! There happens to be a treasure that is the treasure of the valley, called figs. The fig tree bears fruit once every fifty years, and only two figs at a time. It is a rare treasure in the world of cultivation, and it is very suitable for cultivators like you who want to reshape or transplant spiritual roots! ]

Zhongli Jin was stunned: [Transplanting spiritual roots? ]

The old man explained: [It is a person who originally has no spiritual roots, and transplants the spiritual roots of others into his own body. However, the way this kind of person obtains spiritual roots is usually extremely vicious, cutting open the spiritual roots, which is a side door. The spiritual roots obtained are the same as those reshaped, and one can either choose to take up a sword or choose to become an immortal. ]

*
Outside the room, Shi Qing did not leave.

She stood at the door, holding the sword in both hands, leaning against the wooden door frame with an expressionless face.

That trace of demonic energy just now was not an illusion.

Shi Qing always trusts his own judgment.

This fairy ship - has demonic energy.

The last place she could sense the evil spirit was on the boy's bed.

Maybe that thing is on Zhongli Jin's bed.

But it is also possible that he had slipped out through the window beside the bed, so she didn't notice him again.

Shi Qing closed his eyes.

The spiritual consciousness spread out, enveloping the entire fairy ship.

She searched quietly but found nothing.

Perhaps that bit of demonic energy really left here, and the fairy ship kept moving forward, so it was left behind and could not be felt.

However, even so, Shi Qing did not let down his guard.

Also, the system on Junior Sister.

She had previously thought it was a spirit of the weapon, but now it seems that is not the case.

Its existence is more like threatening the junior sister to do something, otherwise it would not argue with the junior sister in her mind.

She heard everything that Shi Xiang said in his mind just now. Perhaps that trace of evil spirit came from it.

Shi Qing tapped the snow-white sword with his index finger.

All night long, sleepless, on duty.

*
Chen Xiang returned to the room. This time, before the system could ask, she spoke first: [Your idea was terrible! The hero was awake! Shi Qing could have noticed it too! You can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let’s see what you are so anxious about all day long! ]

The system angrily said: [I am anxious?! Host! Do you still want to complete the mission and go home? ! ! You don’t want your daddy who loves you in the real world anymore?! You don’t want to take revenge on those women who killed you? ! ]

[But there is no rush! The fairy ship will still fly in the sky for so long, I have given up the action tonight, but you insisted on provoking me to go twice tonight! ! Now, if it wasn’t Shi Qing trying to make up for it, I would have been misunderstood by the male lead! And the blame-shifting, are you really stupid? ! Such a lame lie is not even as believable as Shi Qing’s saying that there is a demonic aura! ! ]

[Shi Qing Shi Qing? ! ! She is a vicious female supporting role! ! You actually spoke up for her? ! Why would I look for someone as stupid as you? ! ]

[Heh——] Chen Xiang said coldly. She was also a proud person. She would not tolerate being scolded. She had endured too much for the mission before. Now she didn't want to endure it anymore. [In that case, then unbind me! If you find another host, even if I die, I will not do this mission anymore!!]

As soon as these words came out, the system that had threatened Shen Xiang to untie and change the host suddenly fell silent.

When the system realized that the girl really didn't want to do it, it was the system that softened first: [...Okay host, don't be angry, I'm just anxious, we are grasshoppers on the same rope, I'm doing this for your own good, and I also want you to complete the task and go home quickly.] Shen Xiang still sneered in his heart.

really.

This system still depends on her.

Binding a person is not like what this guy said. You can change it whenever you want.

Shen Xiang is not a soft persimmon, and you still want to control her? Dream on!

[I have to rely on my own charm to win over Zhong Lijin. I believed you before and really thought Shi Qing was a vicious woman who admired the strong. Now what I see and hear is completely different from what you said!] She narrowed her eyes slightly: [Why do I always feel that you seem to be - jealous of her?]

[I didn't!] The system suddenly retorted loudly, in a panicked voice: [Before coming to this small world, I didn't even know her! I only knew her story from books, how could I be jealous of her?!]

Chen Xiang snorted and said nothing.

This guess was indeed incredible, and the system denied it hastily, but Shen Xiang always felt that something was wrong.

In the real world, there are women who have a relatively good relationship with her.

But in the end, without exception, those women just wanted to use her under the guise of doing good for her and being her friend, and to eliminate other women they disliked one by one.

That kind of jealousy, female rivalry, and vicious competition for beauty makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Chen Xiang grew up in such an environment. Because of her aura of being popular with the opposite sex, she was surrounded by either men with ill intentions or women who were extremely jealous of her.

Fortunately, her daddy was there, so she was not raped by any man or woman.

But she died in the end, and she still blamed herself - did she really think that there was someone in the world who truly loved her besides her daddy?

*
The sun rises in the east, and the sunlight shines on the end of the bed.

When the sunlight appeared, Shi Qing finally opened his eyes and collected his spiritual consciousness.

After a sleepless night, my spiritual consciousness was shrouded in confusion and it was a bit exhausting.

She stood up and was about to go back to the bow deck when the door behind her suddenly opened.

He turned around and made eye contact with the young man who was just opening the door and walking out.

Zhongli Jin: “…”

Disciple Xu also opened the door; he woke up earlier.

"Senior Sister Shi Qing, good morning." said the young man.

"Morning." Shi Qing nodded.

"Junior Brother Zhongli," Disciple Xu looked at Zhongli Jin, "You got up so early too."

Zhongli Jin said politely, "Yes, get up and make something to eat."

"Let's go together. I can help Senior Sister Cang and Junior Sister get some." Disciple Xu said.

Except for Zhongli Jin, everyone else on the fairy ship has practiced fasting.

Senior Sister Dan Cang and Junior Sister Dan Cang are both greedy and still prefer human delicacies.

Therefore, disciple Xu still has to prepare for them.

Shi Qing returned to the bow deck and sat cross-legged.

After an incense stick of time, Cangying and Junior Sister also came out of the room.

Cangying yawned, walked to Shiqing, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Did anything happen last night?"

Shi Qing said: "Yes."

It happened that Shen Xiang was also behind them. When the girl heard Cangying's question, she stopped and looked at Shi Qing vigilantly, as if she was afraid that the other party would say something shocking.

"There was a demonic aura last night." Shi Qing said.

Shen Xiang: “…”

Why are you still using this excuse?

Wouldn't it be ok to just say nothing happened?

Cangying sat down next to Shiqing and frowned: "Demonic energy?"

"Yes." Shi Qing nodded: "Zhongli Jin, room."

"In a moment, it disappeared."

In Zhongli Jin's room, but disappeared in a moment.

Cangying: “…”

Her face looked a little solemn. She knew that Shi Qing was very sensitive to demonic energy. No matter how weak and tiny the demonic energy was, as long as there was just a tiny trace of it, she would be able to detect it.

“Did you feel it again later?”

"No." Shi Qing said: "Disappeared, completely."

She stayed there all night, but the aura never appeared again.

Cangying said: "No matter what, we still have to remain vigilant."

She patted Shi Qing's shoulder and said, "Go to sleep. It's too tiring for you to keep watch with your spiritual sense at night."

"No need." Shi Qing raised his head slightly, a little proud: "I am strong."

Cangying: “…”

The hand that was patting her shoulder immediately changed to patting her head, slapping her hard, raising his voice and angrily saying, "Sleep!!!"

At this moment, the four bandages around Shi Qing's body seemed to be frightened. They stiffened for a moment, and then softened out of fear.

Shi Qing still had no expression on his face.

But the bandages reflected her true emotions.

"Oh." Shi Qing agreed in a low voice, picked up the sword, stood up, and walked towards the room in the cabin.

There were only four rooms on the fairy ship, and one of them was originally hers, but it was occupied by her junior sister who sneaked up.

The junior sister never liked Shi Qing entering her room, so she went to Cangying's room.

In the low corridor, I ran into Disciple Xu and Zhongli Jin who had just finished breakfast.

The young man knew that Shi Qing would not eat, but he still asked politely: "Senior Sister Shi Qing, would you like some?"

"No need." Shi Qing said, "I need to sleep."

Then he opened Cangying's door and went to her bed to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Anyway, you can meditate on the deck and inside the house.

Just let Cangying mistakenly think that she is sleeping.

Shen Xiang saw Shi Qing went straight into Cangying's room, propped up her head, and said to her in an ambiguous tone: "You have a really good relationship with Shi Qing. He went straight into your room."

Cangying raised an eyebrow: "You are so disrespectful. You should call her Senior Sister. And don't you dislike Shi Qing coming into your room? Before in Sanqing Fudi, whenever Shi Qing approached your room, you would stop her immediately. She respects your personal space, so naturally she won't come near again."

Shen Xiang stopped talking and started eating breakfast.

About half an hour later, Shi Qing came out.

At this moment, the fairy ship, which had been flying for a day and a night, was slowly slowing down.

It means it is about to land and dock.

Shi Qing walked out of the cabin and looked into the distance.

But in the midst of the clouds and mist, there was a vast mountain that was looming in the mist.

The mountain is purple in color, like amethyst rock, with clear edges and corners, and like a flash of purple lightning, dreamy and misty.

The spiritual energy suddenly became abundant, and Cangying called out to the four people, "Everyone, we are going to Lingshen Mountain!"

　Here I come!!! ~~~Good afternoon!! ! ! PK is about to start again!! ! ! I still ask for some collections, comments and votes! ~~
