From the wakening to transforming into shapes, and with the change of time, Big Bao had never left Jingshan Mountain.
Behind Jingshan Mountain was a river, but Big Bao said he never crossed it. There seemed to have something in the opposite forest, and just standing at this side would make a creepy feeling.
Ming Shu followed Big Bao and came to the river. They happened to see a person enter the forest and disappear into further.
That figure...
Why does it look a little familiar?
Ming Shu was about to get down when another figure flashed out from beside. It was none other than Jian Ying.
Thereâre other people come out from beside her successively, who were all Evil Spirit Officeâs employees.
âCaptain, I think I saw Zhiling go in just now.â Jian Yingâs voice was blown over, sounding with wisps of sweetness.
Hua Jian looked to the forest on the other side of the river with calm eyes.
Ming Shu had been busy with her throne inheriting cause and seldom went back to Jin Dongyiâs place. She met Hua Jian less now. Sometimes she went back at night but Hua Jian was not always there.
Hua Jian and the others crossed the river. As Jian Ying walked, she stumbled and her body titled to Hua Jianâs direction.
Hua Jian moved aside to avoid and pushed Lu Jiu, who then caught Jian Ying just in time.
âSister Jian Ying, be careful.â Lu Jiu grinned as he supported Jian Ying, âCome, let me help you get there.â
âThank you.â Jian Ying gave a look to Hua Jianâs direction.
This man...
Since that night, Mengjie didnât come to work until several days later. It took Jian Ying a long time then to learn from Mengjie that something happened on her way home that night, which caused that she rested for so long.
Mengjie also couldnât describe clearly how the accident happened.
But Jian Ying always felt it was related to this man, or... Tao Xian.
Jian Ying shook off her inner thoughts and averted her gaze, then followed them in the forest.
On the cliff, Big Bao held the nearby bamboo and trembled.
King, show some mercy! Itâs not easy for them to grow up!
In front of Ming Shu were broken flowers scattering all over the ground, but on her face was a faint smile. Itâs kind of creepy. Before Big Bao said something, Ming Shu directly jumped down from the cliff.
Seeing Ming Shu intended to cross the river, Big Bao was a little frightened. But thinking that if he didnât follow now, there might be a worse punishment waiting for him when she came back, so he had to follow up.
Itâs very dim in the forest, and clearly no one had walked into here. The only trace was probably left by Hua Jian and the others.
The forest was also very deep. Ming Shu walked forward unmindfully, and some noises came from before occasionally, but were very unclear.
âKing!â Big Bao was still a little frightened. The further they marched, the gloomier it felt. âAre we going to walk further? Itâs going to rain, and perhaps we should go back now.â Thereâs a throne waiting for you to take!
Ming Shu looked up into the sky. The thick forest blocked up there, through which she vaguely saw the sky was way too overcast, looking like dark clouds gathering around.
âWhatâs so scary. If something happens, those people ahead will die first, but we can run.â Ming Shu sounded very casual, âDonât worry.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Big Bao: â...â
â
The people ahead really ran into a little accident and Jian Ying managed to take the opportunity to part with them. Ming Shu also dismissed Big Bao who was just too frightened to help nothing, and she followed behind Jian Ying alone.
Jian Ying walked through the forest constantly and fastly. Soon she found An Zhiling, who wore an anxious expression and looked like was looking for something.
Jian Ying looked around first to make sure no one else was with them, then she rushed over and knocked An Zhiling out.
âDonât blame me, who let you be the female protagonist.â Jian Ying murmured to herself and got ready to drag An Zhiling to leave.
âMiss Jian, are you going to bury the body?â
Jian Ying was startled to erect her fine hairs all over the body, and she looked to the soundâs source with a dumbfounded look.
In the prosperous green leaves, she saw a pink figure stand there with a tender smile on her delicate and charming face. The girl looked at her with smiling eyes.
Jian Ying looked around again subconsciously, with the heartbeat slightly speeding up, and she asked alertly, âWhy are you here?â
âIâm here to date with you.â
Jian Ying: â...â Date? Psychopath, who wants to date with you.
She saw me kicking An Zhiling, so do I need to kill her? But I... am not her match.
Jian Ying became a little scared and she tried hard to calm down a bit, âI saw An Zhiling faint out here just now, and Iâm taking her to the captain.â
She wasnât sure whether Ming Shu saw her kicking out An Zhiling or not, so she decided to test it.
Ming Shu didnât respond to her at all, and she directly rolled up the sleeves, walking toward her.
Beating is the quickest way to get me Hatred Points.
Jian Ying stepped back and her voice tightened, âWhat do you want to do!â
Ming Shu grinned, âDate activity.â
A dark foreboding rose from the bottom of Jian Yingâs heart and she started to run immediately, even forgetting An Zhiling.
âDonât run.â Ming Shu was a fast demon, far faster than Jian Ying, so the latter was caught easily.
Jian Ying bit her teeth and roared, âTao Xian, if you touch me, youâll violate the rules of the Evil Spirit Office.â
Ming Shu threw her over onto the ground, smiling headlessly, âSo what? I have a throne to inherit.â
Huh?
Jian Ying tried to figure out what Ming Shu was meaning, but what answered her immediately were Ming Shuâs fists.
After beating up Jian Ying, Ming Shu squatted down to have a small talk with her, âWell, tell me, why did you kick out An Zhiling? Do you take a fancy to her?â
The cold sweats appeared on Jian Yingâs forehead out of pain, and she bit tightly on her colorless lips with an embarrassed as well as angry look. Deep in the bottom of her eyes was also mixed with grudge.
Ming Shu smiled even more happily, âAre you getting angry? Thatâs right, keep angry and itâll make you become more beautiful.â
Jian Ying almost choked by blood.
If getting angry can make people become more beautiful, why donât you do that!
Ming Shu casually pluck a dog tail grass and pressure it on Jian Yingâs arms, and she reminded her with a smile, âNow, behave yourself, girl, weâre in the wilderness. If I kill you and randomly bury you somewhere, no one will find it.â
That dog tail grass looked weak and feeble, but Jian Ying felt she couldnât gather any strength under it, as if being pressed by something huge and heavy.
Jian Ying became both angry and scared.
Why is this demon so powerful.
Will I die here today?
Ming Shu repeated one more time, âWhy did you knock out An Zhiling?â
Jian Yingâs face turned very pale and looked very miserable. She gritted her teeth, said, âIf I tell you, will you let me go?â
âRelax, I wonât kill you for now,â Ming Shu promised.
The Hatred Points are not full yet.
And as well, I donât kill people.
Jian Ying naturally wouldnât believe Ming Shuâs promise, but she had no other choice now. This demon was way too strong.
âThereâs something buried in this forest, with... with the help of An Zhiling I can find it.â Jian Ying looked at Ming Shu, âItâs a demon core, which is very useful for you demons and can enhance the cultivation level.â
âYouâre lying.â
âNo, Iâm not. If you donât believe, you can wake up An Zhiling and ask her.â Jian Ying denied it.
âEven if youâre telling the truth, but youâre a human, why do you need that thing?â Ming Shu swept on her arms with the grass, âYou think Iâm a fool?â
Jian Ying breathed heavily, âItâs... Mengjie told me this. She said as long as I find the demon core, sheâll help me get into the headquarters.â
âWhy doesnât she come herself?â
âSheâs here, but she isnât with us.â Jian Ying continued, âItâs true, trust me, Iâm not lying. Youâve gotten me like this, how will I cheat you?â
