After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away

In the blink of an eye, it has been several days since Ji Ning came to Ying Qianqiu's world. During these two days, the mighty team of the Demon Lord finally arrived at the destination. It was a majestic palace built on Cangshan Mountain. , the mountain is towering into the clouds, majestic and dangerous, it is not only a desperate situation, but also a quiet place with excellent scenery.

After coming to the Cangshan Palace, Ji Ning had fewer chances to see Ying Qianqiu. Ying Qianqiu was very busy and seemed to have to deal with many things. Only the girl still seemed to have nothing to do and came to accompany Ji Ning.

"The last time we went to meet the city lord of Tiandu City, the city lord intends to cooperate with us to bring down the last three branches of the Twelve Aristocratic Clan."

While eating the spirit fruit, the girl smiled and said to Ji Ning: "That's right, those three aristocratic families are about to die, as long as he is not stupid, he should know who to follow to benefit, eh..."

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at the boy, and seeing that he looked confused, she immediately stopped talking: "Forget it, I won't tell you this, it must be very boring to you, and you probably won't understand. "

Ji Ning blinked and showed her a small smile. In fact, he could understand, but his current identity is a monster cub, so of course he had to pretend that he didn't understand.

And there is no need for him to remind, the cooperation between Ying Qianqiu and the city lord of Tiandu City is the plot in the original book. They jointly brought down the last three families of the Twelve Aristocratic Clans, and they will maintain a cooperative relationship in the future. They are reliable people and there are no traps .

In the past two days, Ji Ning pretended to be a child very happily. Apart from infusing Qin Ruwang with inspiration every day, he didn't need to do anything else, but Ying Qianqiu would come and have a look when he was free. When you need a little refreshment.

Looking at him now, his situation is considered safe, and Ying Qianqiu will occasionally test him, which means that although Ying Qianqiu has doubts, he is not yet sure that he is Ji Ning.

He has obtained the strength and passed the most dangerous period, and then he just needs to follow the steps and get through it.

"Okay, it's almost time to rest."

The girl ate the last spiritual fruit, stood up clapping her hands, and said to Ji Ning, "Come on, continue to cultivate profound energy."

Ji Ning nodded, followed the girl's instruction, closed his eyes and meditated, tried his best to absorb the faint traces of profound energy in the air, and gathered them into his body.

In fact, he has profound energy himself, and he has cultivated to a certain level, which is much higher than the girl, but he can restrain all the profound energy, even if he checks his cultivation level, it seems that he has never cultivated, so the girl is right. He didn't know that he already had a cultivation base, he only thought that he had no foundation, and patiently taught him from scratch.

Because he had practiced before and knew the normal speed of cultivation, Ji Ning deliberately adjusted his speed very quickly, but it was within the normal range, so that the girl was amazed by his talent, but he would not doubt it.

On the one hand, he did this to let the girl take out the corpse refining album as soon as possible to refine the dead energy for Qin Ruwang; In terms of appearance, he is still a little difficult to adapt to.

After eating more Transformation Pills and absorbing profound energy, Ji Ning finally fixed himself as a boy, which was still different from his original appearance, and changed his voice a bit.

Looking down at his slender fingers, he was very satisfied. After all, children's hands are too soft and small, and they can't even hold chopsticks steadily.

"Very nice..."

The girl circled around Ji Ning who looked like a boy, and praised him loudly.

The boy was dressed in white, his waistline and limbs were very slender and well-proportioned, his long black hair was hanging down, and his complexion was very fair. Even though he was wearing half a mask, he could still see his handsome appearance. He was a pretty boy.

The only pity is that Xuetuan still refuses to take off his mask...

She rubbed her chin, and suddenly began to wonder if the teenager's aesthetics were crooked. He was obviously very good-looking, but he still wanted to think that he was ugly.

The girl decided to correct Ji Ning's aesthetics in the future, but now she has more important things to do. She clapped her hands happily and said happily, "Since you have reached this point in your cultivation, we can start refining Qin Ruwang."

As she spoke, she called the maids and told them to inform Ying Qianqiu.

She thinks that the boy is a snow beast cub with an immature heart and character, who can't read or write, let alone practice exercises, so she has been working hard on the picture book and asked Ying Qianqiu many questions during this period of time. The purpose is to help the young man refine this murderous corpse, so that he can become a great help to the young man.

This is their first attempt at refining corpses. Although the steps are not complicated, the girl thinks that she is fully prepared, but because fierce corpses are different from ordinary corpses, she is still worried, so she asks Qianqiu to agree to invite him to come. Sit in person to avoid accidents.

Regarding this, she had already greeted Ying Qianqiu in advance, and asked him to put aside other matters and come to protect him.

After the maid left, not long after, Ying Qianqiu came to her palace, sat at the side, looked at the boy for a moment, then turned to the girl, nodded slightly to her, indicating that she could start.

"Come on, Yingxue, let me teach you how to refine."

The girl beckoned to Ji Ning and taught him basic formulas and fingering techniques.

The corpse refining technique itself is not complicated, as long as you circulate the profound energy according to the fingering, press your fingertips on the life gate of the corpse to inject the profound energy, walk around the corpse, absorb the dead energy, and slowly replace it with the profound energy to fill it up. Corpse refining.

Naturally, this is only the most superficial method, but with the boy's current cultivation, he can only do so much, and because his profound energy is too weak, after research, the girl feels that his profound energy is not enough to walk through the gate of life whole body, but requires another special approach.

Hope he can accept it...

The girl muttered in her heart, and said to Ji Ning: "I said just now that the profound energy should have entered through Qin Ruwang's gate of life, but your profound energy is insufficient, so you have to change the position."

As she said that, she pointed to Qin Ruwang's bloodless lips: "If you want, you can stick to his mouth and inject profound energy into his body with the method of exhaling." She was afraid that the young man would not understand, so she just said it plainly. He explained, "It was you who kissed him with profound energy in your eyes—"

"No."

However, before Ji Ning could answer, Ying Qianqiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth. His indifferent eyes swept over the girl, but the girl trembled all over, and suddenly felt a very dangerous feeling.

"This method has never been recorded in the atlas, so if you try it rashly, it may change."

The silver-haired Demon Lord opened his mouth indifferently, stepped forward and clasped Ji Ning's wrist, a stream of pure and mighty profound energy slowly poured in, filling Ji Ning's profound energy.

"I'll help you." He looked down at Ji Ning, "You can try to refine him."

"Thank you, Qianqiu."

Ji Ning blinked, translating Ying Qianqiu's profound energy into his own strength, pressing Qin Ruwang's gate of life to refine the dead energy in his body.

As the endless profound energy melted, Qin Ruwang's gloomy pupils had a gleam of light. After the refinement was over, he looked at Ji Ning, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, master."

His sanity had obviously recovered, Ji Ning was happy and smiled at him, but suddenly felt that Ying Qianqiu's fingers on his wrist increased a bit.

"Qianqiu?"

Ji Ning gave him a puzzled look, Ying Qianqiu let go of his hand quickly, and said: "If you want to refine the corpse, you can ask someone to tell me, if I have nothing to do, I will come here, don't use breath The method of refining."

After saying that, he looked at the girl again. The girl had keenly sensed that Ying Qianqiu seemed to be slightly angry from just now, and was about to sneak away quietly, but was nailed to the spot by his icy voice.

"stop."

The girl's body froze. Although she didn't know how she had offended Ying Qianqiu, her instinctive sense of crisis made her quickly show a flattering smile, and turned her head timidly: "Qianqiu..."

"You go to the Gongfa Pavilion to copy the books for three days." Ying Qianqiu said, "I will teach Yingxue personally in the future."

"but--"

"You're leaving." The silver-haired demon lord ignored the girl's mournful face with an indifferent expression.

"I see……"

The girl was so frustrated that she dropped her ears, and left the palace weakly.

Ji Ning was a little confused, he didn't understand why he suddenly punished the girl, secretly guessing the reason, Ying Qianqiu said: "It's too dangerous to change the exercises privately, she should learn the lesson."

so poor...

Ji Ning silently said sorry to the girl in his heart, after all she was punished because of him, but if this matter is really dangerous, it is right for her to remember it well.

But what did Qianqiu say just now?Want to teach him the exercises in person?

He was slightly startled, subconsciously raised his head to look at Ying Qianqiu, and saw the latter nodded slightly to him, and said: "Come to my place tomorrow morning, and I will teach you exercises."

Facing his gaze, Ji Ning felt pressure doubled, if he got along with Ying Qianqiu every day, the chance of him being seen through would be even greater.

But now he has no reason not to agree, no matter how bitter his heart is, he can still smile and happily respond: "Okay, thank you Qianqiu!"

The next day, Ji Ning brought Qin Ruwang to Ying Qianqiu's place.

A few days ago, perhaps because he had just returned to Cangshan, he had piled up a lot of affairs waiting for Ying Qianqiu to make a decision, which made him very busy and disappeared, but now the affairs have been dealt with cleanly, and Ying Qianqiu has been with Ji Ning all day today, Teach him the basic exercises.

Ji Ning was a little uncertain about the speed at which he should cultivate. Unlike the young girl, Ying Qianqiu had a very high level of cultivation, and his vision was also quite sharp, so Ji Ning was worried that he would see that he had practiced before.

Fortunately, after one day passed, Ying Qianqiu didn't question anything, but only slightly praised Ji Ning's talent.

After the exercise was over, Ji Ning thought he would be free, but just when he was about to ask to leave, a waitress walked in and respectfully replied to Ying Qianqiu: "My lord, the medicinal bath is ready."

Ying Qianqiu nodded and glanced at Ji Ning: "Follow me."

Ji Ning took Qin Ruwang and followed him to a quiet and beautiful place outside the palace. Under the moonlight, with the breeze blowing, a few beautiful palace lanterns were lit. The hot spring water in the pool emits white mist.

In addition to the faint sulfur smell of the hot spring, the air is also mixed with the aroma of medicinal materials. If you look carefully at the water surface of the hot spring, you can see that there are many medicinal materials soaked in it.

Ying Qianqiu stood by the hot spring, pointed to the water, and said to Ji Ning: "This is a medicinal bath for bone forging, which can strengthen the body. You enter the water and soak for half an hour."

Ji Ning nodded obediently. He knew that while cultivating profound energy, he also had to exercise his muscles and bones, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.

But in front of Qin Ruwang and Ying Qianqiu, he didn't intend to take off his clothes, and after taking the Transformation Pill, he could no longer restore his original shape at will, so he simply put on his white clothes and walked directly into the hot spring .

Ying Qianqiu was noncommittal about this, but stood quietly by the water, looking at the young man in the hot spring, Qin Ru saw Ji Ning walking into the water, at first he wanted to go in with him, but when Ji Ning stopped him, he stayed behind. We landed on the shore and guarded together.

I'm a little dizzy...

The hot spring water was hot, and in the curling white air, Ji Ning's face soon flushed with blush, droplets of water condensed on his mask, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead. His mind was a little groggy, and he leaned against the shore powerlessly.

Ying Qianqiu saw the fact that he couldn't bear the power of the medicine and the heat of the spring water, but he didn't make a sound, until half an hour was up, he finally bent down, stretched out his hand to Ji Ning, and said, "Come up. "

Ji Ning held his hand and staggered to the shore. His thin white clothes were drenched by the spring water, water dripped from the hem of the clothes, and the cloth was close to the skin, outlining a delicate and graceful figure body lines.

He was dizzy, his feet were weak, his body fell forward, but suddenly fell into the warm embrace, in addition to the smell of medicine, what lingered in his breath was Ying Qianqiu's body, which was as cold as ice and snow.

"Sorry……"

Knowing that he was caught by Ying Qianqiu, Ji Ning said in a daze, vaguely saw that the beautiful silver hair was already soaked by the water on his body, he couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed, and tried to get up.

But his back was lightly pressed by a hand, Ying Qianqiu hugged him in his arms, instead of letting him get up, he tightened his arms even more.

His handsome face appeared a bit unreal in the mist, his eyelashes drooped, his eyes were deep and dark, silent, staring at the boy in his arms.

"... Qianqiu?"

Ji Ning put his hand on his arm, his reaction was a bit slow, and he looked up into his eyes.

Ying Qianqiu didn't answer, and suddenly raised his hand to gently caress Ji Ning's cheek, his fingertips touched the cold mask, as if he was going to gently take it off the next moment——

A pale hand suddenly blocked Ying Qianqiu's hand, stopped his movement, and pulled Ji Ning into his arms.

Qin Ruwang half hugged and half caressed Ji Ning, looked at Ying Qianqiu expressionlessly, and said, "He doesn't want to show his true face."

"..."

Ying Qianqiu said nothing, and slowly put down his hands.

"I'm sorry, Qianqiu, I'm going back first."

Qin Ruwang's cold body temperature made Ji Ning wake up a lot, he smiled at Ying Qianqiu, and was supported by Qin Ruwang to leave here.

The silver-haired man didn't stop them from leaving, he just looked at the boy's back and tightened his fingers slightly.

In fact, he knew that the face under the mask was not what he wanted to see. He had already noticed that the face was covered up by some means, and it was not the real appearance.

Just looking at the person he thinks about day and night in his arms, he still lost his composure.

In the past few days, he tried his best to maintain his normal state, pretending that he was still doubting the identity of the young man, and made a few concealed temptations, in order to maintain the illusion and prevent the young man from realizing that he had confirmed that he was Xiao Xiao.

He cannot afford to fall short.

It's just...he wasn't sure how long he could bear it.

……

Qin Ruwang supported Ji Ning and walked towards the palace where he lived. On the way, he met many servants who seemed to want to step forward to help, but they were afraid of the murderous corpse, and Qin Ruwang also acted like a stranger. All of them stopped in their tracks, bowed their heads and hurried past.

Along the way, Ji Ning has become sober enough that he can walk on his own.He patted the back of Qin Ruwang's hand, indicating that he could let go of himself, but unexpectedly, Qin Ruwang just glanced at him, then stretched out his hands unexpectedly, wrapped his arms around Ji Ning's back and legs, and beat him Started a horizontal hug.

"As expected?"

The body suddenly lightened, Ji Ning was startled, immediately hugged Qin Ruwang's back neck, and looked at him in surprise.

"You are tired, I will carry you back."

Qin Ruwang replied, carried Ji Ning all the way back to the palace, gently placed him on the soft couch, put his hand on his drenched skirt: "I will help you change your clothes."

"No need." Ji Ning quickly pushed Qin Ruwang's hand away, shook his head and said, "I'll do it myself."

He took a magic spell from the cultivation world, quickly dried his wet clothes and hair, and planned to take a shower again later.

Qin Ruwang watched his movements, remained silent for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you closer to him or me?"

"..." Ji Ning looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to ask such a question.

Could it be that he is...jealous?

He suddenly discovered that Qin Ruwang's recovery speed was much faster than he imagined.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qin Ru didn't continue to ask, but leaned forward, took off his mask, stroked his cheek, and said, "I want to see the master's original appearance."

Ji Ning hesitated for a moment, making sure that no one was looking outside, and complied with Qin Ruwang's request, erasing the inspiration and revealing his true appearance.

Qin Ruwang stared at his elegant face, and suddenly curled the corners of his lips lightly, his handsome and coquettish brows and eyes were filled with a smile, and instantly became lively and lively.

"I won't hurt you."

With a smile in his eyes, he put his lips on Ji Ning's lips, kissed gently and whispered at the same time.

"Also ask the master to refine me with the breath method."

Ji Ning was startled, but before he could refuse, Qin Ru looked at his shoulders, gently pressed him down on the soft couch, and asked him for his profound energy with an ice-cold kiss.

Did he recover too quickly...?

Ji Ning couldn't help but think so.

……

Qin Ruwang finally let go of Ji Ning when most of the profound energy in his body was drained, and apologized for his rudeness.

If I were really sorry, this wouldn't have happened.

Ji Ning looked at the young monarch who bowed his head to him, and was silent for a while, but he still didn't say anything. After taking a bath, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Before falling asleep, he vaguely remembered that when explaining the method of refining, the girl mentioned the disadvantages of refining corpses, one of which was that refining would absorb the dead energy of corpses, which might lead to nightmares at night. Regarding this, Ji Ning, although I'm not afraid, but I also hope that I don't dream of something too scary.

Then he fell into sleep, his consciousness in the dream was not clear, he didn't know that he was dreaming, but he did dream of something bad.

The dark night sky, the street under heavy drizzle, there are no pedestrians on the street, the doors of the shops on both sides are closed, only a glass window reveals a hazy light, and the wind chimes under the eaves are tinkling, making crisp sounds .

...Why does this place seem familiar?

With doubts, Ji Ning raised his hand to block the falling raindrops in front of his eyes, and walked towards the only store with light. Outside the store, he saw the old sign above, it was a grocery store.

The store door is not closed, and the gramophone placed in the corner is emitting a gentle singing, ethereal and illusory, as if if you step into this door, you will be lost in it forever.

Ji Ning stopped for a moment, feeling bad in his heart, but this shop seemed to have magic power, he couldn't control himself, so he just walked in.

Under the ambiguous orange light, a young man in a white shirt stood behind the counter, with his head down, unable to see his face clearly, holding a small silver spoon with his slender fingers, stirring the hot coffee in the cup, happily following the singing Humming a tune.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, showing beautiful and affectionate eyes, smiled at Ji Ning, and said with a smile: "You're here."

It's Huo Wuling!

Seeing Huo Wuling suddenly without any warning, even in his dream, Ji Ning felt horrified, and suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen this place before.

Not long ago, in another world, he saw Huo Wuling in the mirror, and then he was pulled into this space. At that time, he also met Huo Wuling in this grocery store, and was almost killed Death brought him to the world where Huo Wuling was.

"Ning Ning, are you so afraid of me?"

Huo Wuling at the counter tilted his face sideways, tilted his head, and suddenly laughed. Ji Ning ran away and rushed to the street, but he seemed to hit something hard, his forehead hurt, and then suddenly Woke up from the dream.

"haha a……"

Opening his eyes and seeing the curtain in front of him, Ji Ning panted heavily, and sat up from the bed, still in shock.

The lights in the palace were very dark, Ji Ning looked around by the candlelight, everything was as usual, and there was no abnormality, so he was relieved.

Just had a nightmare?

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, deeply felt the horror of refining corpses, this nightmare was so realistic that it really frightened him a lot.

But after calming down for a while, Ji Ning felt something was wrong, and suddenly realized that Qin Ruwang wasn't by his side, obviously Qin Ruwang would always be by his side when he was sleeping.

"As expected?"

He lifted off the brocade quilt, stepped on the cold ground with bare feet, and checked carefully in the palace, but there was no sign of Qin Ruwang.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly there was a chuckle from behind Ji Ning, he was startled, looked back, and saw Huo Wuling lying on his side on his bed, propping his head with one hand, waving at him with the other, and said with a smile .

"Good evening, Ningning."
