Killing God

When I came back from Hongcang Village and walked around the Herring Set, I looked at the sky, and it was just past noon. Shen Shi only felt that the time of this day seemed to be particularly long, but on a sunny day wandering leisurely on this Herring Island seemed like It is also a rare kind of relaxation.

He wandered around the herring center, visited a few shops, and walked to Baihetang, and looked at the white, green and red boards. Unsurprisingly, the tasks on the boards were familiar and common ones, not suitable for them. he. As for the yellow and purple boards at the back, there were very few tasks posted, but only a few, but they were indeed extremely difficult, and they could not be completed by the mid-level of the refining realm, so he didn't pay attention.

After watching around, there was no gain, Shen Shi didn't care, turned around Shi Shiran and walked in the direction of Baiyuwan, gently stroking the "Little Ruyi Ring" on the fingers of his left hand along the way, something strange Feeling, but unconsciously remembered the scene in Xilu City, Yinzhou when I was young.

Then, he naturally thought of his father Shen Tai again.

It has been three years. He has completely cut off contact with his father. He doesn't know where his father is now and what is the situation? Alone in a foreign land, occasionally in the dead of night, he would especially miss that father who had depended on each other since he was a child. Even though he has gradually become accustomed to life on Herring Island in the past three years, this yearning has never weakened.

After all, he is his only relative in this world.

Perhaps, the promise of the Fairy Society is worthy of trust!

Shen Shi was thinking like this in his heart, but he took out the little jade hourglass from his arms. The small sand was still sliding down in the hourglass forever. He gently stroked the smooth surface of the hourglass. There was a faint warmth in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he unknowingly walked to his cave.

He took out the cloud talisman to open the stone gate, and the stone gate opened with a rumble, just as he was about to walk in and wondering whether he was doing his daily homework earlier in his leisure time, he suddenly only listened to a call from behind. :

"Shen Shi."

Shen Shi looked back and saw that Zhong Qinglu was standing outside her cave for some time. She was dressed as a female disciple of the Ling Xiaozong. She bit her thin lip slightly, her cheek seemed to be slightly flushed, and one hand dropped. On his side, the other hand was holding the hem of the shirt, kneading it unnaturally, looking a little strange.

Shen Shi looked at Zhong Qinglu's expression a little different from usual, but didn't think so much for a while, showing a slight smile, and said: "It's you, what's the matter?"

Zhong Qinglu stood there in silence. After the first call, for some reason, she didn't speak for a long time. The two stood at the door and the other outside. After a distance, they fell into a strange silence. .

Shen Shi frowned in some doubt and looked at Zhong Qinglu, only to think that the girl's appearance was a bit strange today, but wasn't everything okay when it was agreed yesterday? However, under Shen Shi's slightly surprised gaze, Zhong Qinglu's expression became more and more unnatural, and the blush on her slightly fat cheek seemed to be darker.

In the end, she seemed to be cruel, gritted her teeth, raised her head angrily, breathing slightly, and strode to Shen Shi's body.

"Shen Shi." She glared at him, blushing, but her eyes were a little dodging.

"Huh?" Shen Shi was confused.

Zhong Qinglu took a deep breath, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, then lowered her head slightly, and said: "Yesterday you gave me ten spiritual crystals and bought a set of spiritual materials for alchemy. I, I... made a mistake..."

She spoke very loudly at first, but as she spoke, Zhong Qinglu became inexplicably guilty, her eyes drooping, she stopped looking at Shen Shi's face, and at the same time, the blush on her face became deeper and her voice became thinner. , Getting lighter and lighter.

Shen Shi barely heard Zhong Qinglu's words clearly, and then he felt a pain in his heart. After the alchemy failed, the whole set of spiritual materials was basically waste residue, and the ten spiritual crystals were lost.

Although he had been psychologically prepared for a long time, it was considered that this deal or gambling would definitely go through such a situation, but when he really had to face it, thinking of the ten shining spirit crystals that disappeared, Shen Shi still felt a little distressed. Endless. But he quickly cleared up his mind, because he found that Zhong Qinglu in front of him seemed more embarrassed than him, and his emotions seemed more depressed.

"Uh..." Shen Shi looked around and saw that the two of them were still standing at the door and the other standing outside. The situation was indeed a bit embarrassing, so he said, "Go in and talk."

Zhong Qinglu glanced at him, nodded silently, followed behind him and walked into Shen Shi's cave.

The stone door was closed rumblingly, and the stone room became quiet. Zhong Qinglu took a few steps forward and looked at this cave. This was the first time she entered the stone room of Shenshi. The room was clean and everything was packed. They are all neatly arranged, and it can be seen that Shen Shi should be a person who is also very attentive to daily little things.

Shen Shi came over, and the two stood face to face. For a while, they didn’t know what to say. The atmosphere became a bit cold and stiff. After a while, Shen Shi shook his head, but took out the last of the day from his arms. The remaining eight spirit crystals went to his bed and took out two more. Then they gently placed the ten spirit crystals on the table, relaxed their expressions, and smiled: "This is the second one. cost."

Zhong Qinglu raised her eyes slightly, and the bright eyes under her slender eyelashes reflected a pile of shining spirit crystals on the table. For some reason, she remained motionless for a long time.

Shen Shi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Didn't we make an agreement at the beginning?"

Zhong Qinglu slowly lowered her head, with both hands unconsciously grabbing the skirt and kneading, after a while, she whispered: "If... if it fails again this time, what should I do?"

Shen Shi sighed and said, "I was lucky yesterday. I just found a nest of black turtle eggs on Demon Island. I went back to the animal farm and exchanged 21 spirit crystals, so I had some spare money. But I I think my luck should not be good every time, and my income will not be so high every time. In addition, I have to leave some to ensure my own practice. So..." He looked at Zhong Qinglu sincerely, said, "If you still make a mistake in alchemy this time, you have to wait a few more days for me to make up the next payment for you, okay?"

Zhong Qinglu's face turned red in an instant, like a beautiful and charming flower. Unknowingly, there was a rare and charming display, which surprised Shen Shi, and his eyes lit up. However, looking at her expression, it was obvious that the whole person was embarrassed, and seemed to have a deep sense of humiliation. As for the reason, Shen Shi could guess some of it, but he himself did not expect that Zhong Qinglu looks high on weekdays. Yu Ding's domineering girl seemed to be more innocent than he thought.

After a long time, Zhong Qinglu seemed to have plucked up the courage, but the voice when she spoke was strangely soft, saying: "Or, or the deal is forgotten."

Shen Shi raised his eyes and said in surprise: "Why?"

Zhong Qinglu slowly lowered her head and said, "I took your spirit crystal to refine the alchemy. As a result, during the alchemy, for some reason, there are always all kinds of distracting thoughts lingering in my mind. There is always that kind of in case, in case of mistakes. What should I do? The ten spirit crystals you gave are in vain. Then I even think, if you still give me spirit crystals in the future, what should I do if I make mistakes, just like this... I just keep wasting you like this Go to the spirit crystals on the Demon Island that the demon beasts desperately obtained..."

At this point, her face was already full of anxiety, she raised her head to look at Shen Shi, and said: "I don't know why there are so many weird thoughts, but I just can't concentrate, so... I made a mistake. "

Shen Shi was dumb, looking at Zhong Qinglu for a while and really didn't know what to say.

After a while, Zhong Qinglu saw that Shen Shi looked strange but did not speak. She felt a little worried and strange to say. When the two of them had nothing to do with each other earlier, she naturally looked at Shen Shi with a calm expression. After people first agreed on the transaction, she was full of confidence at first, and even her mind passed the idea that this guy might be a fool, and gave me money to practice hands. Only once she really started to use the spirit crystals given by Shen Shi to buy the spirit materials and start refining alchemy, she realized that there was such a heavy pressure, even if the pressure was a little strange.

Even at this moment, she had a faint sense of shame when she stood in front of Shen Shi.

In her fifteen-year-old life, this was almost an emotion she had never felt before.

After a long time, in the silence in the stone room, Shen Shi suddenly said, "Or you can agree with me."

Zhong Qinglu didn't react for a while, and said in amazement: "What did you say?"

Shen Shi said solemnly: "If you always fail in alchemy, have been unable to succeed, and waste my countless spirit crystals, in the end, just pay off the debt with your personal promise!"

Zhong Qinglu stood blankly for a moment, instantly his cheeks flushed again and furiously said, "Asshole!"

He rushed over and picked up the spirit crystals on the table beside him. They smashed them at Shen Shi as if they were rocks. They still shouted angrily: "Smelly mouth, you dare to take advantage of me, you are brave! You smashed you, smashed you. Damn you!"

Shen Shi hugged his head and scurried, hiding for a long time to the corner of the stone room, but he still lost several pieces.

The ten spirit crystals were lost clean by Zhong Qinglu in a blink of an eye. Gu Lulu rolled on the floor of the stone room, making a crisp sound, accompanied by the girl's irritated gasping.

Shen Shi slowly turned his head and grinned. After taking a look at Zhong Qinglu, he slowly squatted down and picked up the scattered spirit crystals on the ground. At the same time, he sighed and said, "Although the spirit crystals are very hard , But you don’t want to throw it away like money."

Zhong Qinglu turned her head in annoyance to ignore him, but after a while her breath calmed down, she was silent for a moment, then turned her head and glanced at the Shenshi who was squatting on the ground picking up the spirit crystals, snorted softly, but also squatted down. Picked up a spirit crystal that rolled near him.

The ticking sound was the spirit crystals rolling on the hard ground. It was very conspicuous when scattered on the ground. They were quickly picked up by the two of them, but one of the spirit crystals rolled under the bed, causing Shen It took a long time for Shi to find it, and he fiddled with it before rolling out.

Zhong Qinglu was squatting on the side, watching the Lingjing roll out, subconsciously reaching out to pick it up, just as Shen Shi also stretched out his hand, the two of them touched their palms slightly, Zhong Qinglu snorted, turned her head and took her hand back.
