Chapter 19: The Warmth and Sweetness of the Night
As the night fell, a bonfire was rising somewhere in the northeast of the secret space, and it was obvious that someone was stationed here.
In the night sky, Xun Qiu and Nangong Yingying sat alone by this bonfire, although there were demon beasts roaring in the forest behind them from time to time, but there was nothing that didn't dare to come up and harass the two of them.
Nangong Yingying's slender hand supported the grill, and the golden barbecue exuded an attractive fragrance under the flames, and the taste was much better than what Xun Qiu usually did.
"Oh, here you go. Nangong Yingying couldn't help but smile when she saw the greedy hatred on the side, and then handed over the barbecue.
"Finally, I ate what the goddess made again, and my happiness index skyrocketed. Xun Qiu took it and said with some sighs, this taste is really nostalgic.
Hearing his ridicule, Nangong Yingying couldn't help but glance at him, but the corners of her mouth were gently raised, which also revealed the joy in her heart, being with him, even some small things, were far more joyful than her victory over the strong.
Nangong Yingying sat elegantly by the bonfire, the green emerald smoke shirt, coupled with the scattered flower mist pleated skirt, well outlined the slender figure, she quietly watched Xun Qiu gobble, the slender jade fingers curled the hair into a ball, and then let go, the black hair fell down, under the light of the fire, flashing with a seductive luster.
"Your hair has grown long, haven't you paid attention to it for a year?" Xun Qiu quickly solved the barbecue, glanced at Nangong Yingying's hair that hung down to her waist, and asked casually.
"What, you don't like it?" Nangong Yingying was slightly stunned, and then seemed to be careless.
"How dare you, in fact, I think it's pretty good, with long hair and waist-length, and it's more feminine. Xun Qiu couldn't help laughing.
Nangong Yingying nodded sweetly, and said coquettishly: "Treat me with long hair and waist, it's good for a young man to marry me." ”
"Ahem. Seeing this, Nangong Yingying quickly unscrewed the kettle and handed it to Xun Qiu, and while helping him gently pat his back, he said with disgust: "Look at what scares you, if the person who said this is Wan'er or Zhang Lingxi, you promise to faint happily, hum, the guy who favors one over the other." ”
Xun Qiu looked up at the corners of the young man's pursed mouth, and shook his head and smiled, this girl is cute and dead.
"Let's talk about the events of this year, what happened?" Xun Qiu wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Nangong Yingying, and asked.
"Nothing happened, after leaving Liuhu Town, I rushed to the headquarters of the Doushi Association of the Tian Yuan Empire, where I practiced for ten months, and then stayed in the capital of the Ming Yan Empire for a while, and then received an order from the headquarters to come here, because I heard some things about you on the way, I knew that you would also come here, so I separated from the large army and rushed over in advance. Nangong Yingying said.
Xun Qiu nodded, it took ten months to rush from three seals to four seals, this kind of cultivation speed against the sky, only a super force like the Doushi Guild could provide such a rich reserve resource.
Then the beating firelight, Nangong Yingying looked at Xun Qiu's face, hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the words that came to her mouth several times.
Xun Qiu picked up a branch, picked up the firewood, made the fire burn more vigorously, and said without raising his head: "If you have anything to say, is it necessary to hide the relationship between the two of us?"
Nangong Yingying was stunned, but she didn't expect Xun Qiu to find the subtle change in her expression, sighed, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but in this rookie battle, after the selection of the national competition, each empire will send a team of ten people to the Kaiping Empire to participate in the finals......" Nangong Yingying found that when he mentioned the word Kaiping Empire, Xun Qiu's arm trembled.
After shaking his arm for a while, Xun Qiu regained his composure again, threw the fire-stirring wooden stick into it, clapped his hands, and said casually: "It doesn't matter where you go to compete, you can't hide what you should face after all." ”
Nangong Yingying saw the subtle changes in Xun Qiu's expression, and without thinking about it, she stepped forward and grabbed Xun Qiu's hand, shook it gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I am willing to face it with you." ”
Xun Qiu's arm was ring, hugging Nangong Yingying's slender waist, and the girl leaned into Xun Qiu's arms, and the whole person was pillowed on Xun Qiu's shoulder.
"By the way, apart from this incident, is there anything else you have seen or heard?" the night wind blew, Xun Qiu subconsciously hugged the jade man in his arms and asked softly.
At this time, Nangong Yingying sat up from Xun Qiu's arms all of a sudden, and said with a bright look in her eyes: "By the way, do you know that Mu Yunyi has a sister?"
Xun Qiu nodded, and Mu Yuqing's ponytail flicked and youthful and sunny appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.
Nangong Yingying shook Xun Qiu's arm, and still said with some emotion: "You don't know, she is now a big celebrity in our Doushi Association, when I left the headquarters before, she was still in retreat and cultivating, I heard that in just one year, she has changed from a person with no cultivation foundation to a strong person in Juyang." ”
"Juyang powerhouse, I heard you right!" Xun Qiu stretched his neck, his mouth opened big and round, that delicate and simple little girl is a Juyang powerhouse?
Nangong Yingying smiled lightly and said: "She is a cultivator of the whole water system, this kind of probability is also one in a few hundred million on the mainland, and now a vice president of the headquarters personally teaches her to cultivate, I think it will not take five years, she must be a junior powerhouse who can rank in the top three in the association." ”
Xun Qiu nodded with emotion, but he was happy for Mu Yu in his heart, his daughter has such a cultivation, and no one will dare to bully the iron battle escort team in the future.
"By the way, it is said that the people of the Yuanhuang Palace also came this time, and the leader of the team is the best one of their younger generation, although I can't remember the specific name, but he is a genuine eightfold powerhouse. Nangong Yingying said suddenly.
"Yuanhuang Palace...... That should be Yuan Fei, but didn't he rush to the eightfold, could it be that things have changed again?" Xun Qiu's eyes froze, his grievances with Yuan Huangdian have really been around for a while, from the fierce battle with a group of people from the Yang family in the Luowang Monument before, to the silver mirror of a group of people in Xifeng City who strengthened the head of the living ghost, this time I am only afraid that in the Wuling Mountains, it will not be good to meet with swords.
"By the way, Yingying, you should be able to fight against the powerhouse of the Soul Condensation Realm by now. Xun Qiu looked at Nangong Yingying and asked curiously.
Nangong Yingying nodded her head and said with a smile: "Under the Triple Condensation Soul Realm, no one should be able to defeat me, so you have to catch up quickly, otherwise you will be left behind by me." ”
"Throwing it in the back can just hit your little ass. "The way of revenge and banter.
"Hooligans. Nangong Yingying was a little embarrassed, glanced at Xun Qiu, and said, "I flew five hundred miles alone in order to see you early today, and I want to have a good rest tonight, and you are responsible for keeping vigil." ”
As soon as this sentence fell, her eyes couldn't help but soften, thinking that she remembered the first time the two met when she was a child, Xun Qiu gave her food and clothing, and accompanied her to see the moon.
Xun Qiu also smiled and said, "Then hug it again?" Today's kind of warm fragrant nephrite, he still recalled, it was rare to have such treatment before.
Nangong Yingying glared at Xun Qiu, this guy is getting more and more inches now, and he can't pay attention to him.
"I went to sleep first. Nangong Yingying lifted the tent, and the bed inside was already laid out, and a wide leather robe was placed on it.
Xun Qiu also smiled when he heard this, he looked at Nangong Yingying's cheeks, which looked particularly beautiful under the light of the bonfire, and there was also a touch of tenderness in his black eyes.
"Okay, you go in and rest. ”
But soon, Xun Qiu regretted his decision, because the night in this space was really cold.
Another gust of cold wind blew, Xun Qiu shivered, and just when he was about to open the Qiankun bag to find out if there was anything to keep out the cold, there was a shy voice in the tent.
"It's cold outside, you come in and sleep together. ”
"What, what you say, I can't hear you. Xun Qiu said loudly with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, you bad boy, if you don't want to come in, forget it, I'll count one, two, three, if you don't come in again, don't want to sleep in the same bed with me in this life......"
Obviously, before Nangong Yingying could blurt out a word, Xun Qiu had already jumped in in a hurry, and then the girl's clucking voice begging for mercy sounded in the tent.
"Let you throw me outside to blow the cold wind, see that I don't scratch you to death......"
In the cold night sky, there is more sweetness and warmth here.
