Chapter 43: Kissing
There was a glimmer of light in the distance. Ning Ke looked up and saw the Blue Silver Sword carrying a young man speeding towards him.
“Buzz—”
Seeing Ning Ke, Blue Silver stopped and placed the young man on the ground.
Because Lou Yunxiao had quietly fed that disciple a hemostatic pill.
So, even though this disciple had damage to his internal organs, he still had a breath left, hanging on until now.
Ning Ke hurriedly fed the life-sustaining medicine to that disciple.
Barely smoothing the disciple’s breathing, though whether he could wake up was still uncertain.
Ning Ke asked the Blue Silver Sword, “Where is your master?”
The tip of the Blue Silver Sword pointed to the East.
Ning Ke nodded.
He carried the disciple on his back, turned back, found Ning Xiaoxiao who hadn’t gone far, and asked her to take the person back.
He himself followed the Blue Silver Sword, heading towards the East.
This time, Ning Xiaoxiao watched his back and said nothing.
Seeing her pale face, the little sand rat couldn’t help saying, “Little girl, don’t worry, your brother is very powerful, there won’t be any danger!”
The python told him not to expose Ning Ke’s identity as a Nine-Tailed Fox clone in front of Ning Xiaoxiao.
But he couldn’t bear to watch the little girl worry so much, so he comforted her like this.
“…Mm, I know. My brother is very powerful, and Eldest Senior Brother is also very powerful.” Ning Xiaoxiao tried hard to force a smile, but the rims of her eyes were still red.
She turned around, clenched her jaw, and continued moving forward.
The thought of becoming stronger in her heart became firmer.
Only able to hide under others’ protection, unable to do anything herself.
What kind of Immortal, what kind of Dao was she cultivating?
Someday.
Ning Xiaoxiao secretly made up her mind.
Someday, she would be strong enough to protect everyone.
…
“Is this the place?”
Ning Ke narrowed his eyes. With the Red Cloud Sword in hand, he split the ground with one strike.
He dived underground without hesitation.
Stopped in front of the underground palace.
As soon as he arrived here, he subconsciously looked around.
His understanding of talismans and arrays had now reached a considerably high level.
Naturally, he could see that this underground palace itself was a great array.
Or rather, the Heavenly Dao’s seal used the underground palace as the foundation, the stone stele as the array eye, combined with arrays and sealing runes to suppress the Great Demon here.
Demon beasts and humans could enter and exit, only the Demon could not come out.
That meant, as long as he could get Lou Yunxiao to the surface, this Demon could no longer do anything to Lou Yunxiao.
“Which rat is it this time?”
Deep in the underground palace, the Demon leaned against the bed exhaustedly, the aura around his body no longer as powerful as before.
He didn’t expect that turning Lou Yunxiao into a Living Dead would consume so much of his demonic energy. At this moment, he turned over, closed his eyes, and said, “I need to sleep for a while. You go catch that rat for me, keep it in the side hall, and wait until I wake up to enjoy it.”
Lou Yunxiao, dressed all in black, was expressionless, but his tone was extremely loyal.
He replied, “Subordinate obeys.”
Then he turned and left the sleeping hall.
At the same time, Ning Ke also pushed open the gate of the underground palace.
The two met.
Ning Ke was slightly stunned.
The Blue Silver Sword buzzed and rushed towards Lou Yunxiao.
Circling happily around Lou Yunxiao.
“Senior Brother…”
The heart Ning Ke had been holding in suspense finally landed at this moment.
Looking at the tall and upright Lou Yunxiao, his eyes instantly turned red. A person who never cried before was unexpectedly sentimental at this moment, rushing in front of Lou Yunxiao.
He hugged the other party tightly.
“Senior Brother, it’s great that you’re okay.”
However, hugging Lou Yunxiao like this, Ning Ke discovered something.
Lou Yunxiao had no heartbeat.
His body was also colder than before.
“You are the mouse.” His wrist hurt. Looking again, it was Lou Yunxiao who grabbed his wrist, dragging him forcefully to the side hall, and threw him into a pile of corpses.
In the next moment, a chain appeared in Lou Yunxiao’s hand as he walked towards him.
Chanting: “My mission is to catch the mouse.”
“So, I have to catch you.”
“?”
“???”
Ning Ke was shocked wide-eyed by this dramatic scene.
For a moment, he didn’t know if he was crazy or if Lou Yunxiao was crazy.
[Host, Lou Yunxiao’s heart is destroyed. Logically speaking, he should be dead, but that Demon used a method to turn him into a Living Dead.] Xiao Yuan explained to him.
[Because he died once, his memories have become chaotic. He only knows to receive the Demon’s orders, becoming an existence similar to a puppet.]
[That Demon is his master now. He must have given him an order saying you are a mouse and telling him to catch you.]
Ning Ke was puzzled: Why doesn’t the Demon come personally?
[To turn him into a Living Dead, the Demon wasted a lot of energy and is currently sleeping.]
Hearing this news, Ning Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he had heard about the Demon’s power from Ning Xiaoxiao.
Just the pressure alone could force Golden Core cultivators to go weak in the knees; he was estimated to have reached the Mahayana stage.
He was an existence that this tail of his couldn’t shake.
Now that the other party was sleeping, he could not only save Lou Yunxiao but also go complete the task Xiao Yuan gave him—to investigate the stone stele.
It was just Lou Yunxiao’s current state…
He asked Xiao Yuan: Lou Yunxiao he… how did he die?
Xiao Yuan couldn’t predict the future, but could view recent events that had already happened.
At this moment, he pondered for a while and told Ning Ke the course of events.
He only stated the facts, but Ning Ke’s expression darkened bit by bit.
He could imagine Lou Yunxiao’s pain and regret at that time.
And the deep helplessness and… despair.
Suicide.
In order not to harm his own kind, he actually chose to commit suicide without hesitation…
“Fool.” Ning Ke’s throat was dry. He reached out his hand, not caring about being locked by chains.
Gently stroking Lou Yunxiao’s pale face, he said, “It was I who didn’t keep the promise to watch you closely, which let you hurt someone. It is my fault.”
“Also, that disciple was saved by you. He didn’t die.”
“You have done very, very well.”
Lou Yunxiao was slightly stunned.
He squatted on the ground, allowing Ning Ke to stroke his face.
Their foreheads touched.
He didn’t know why, but he actually felt this feeling was very familiar.
Very wonderful.
He even wanted more.
More…
Thinking this, he suddenly turned his head and kissed Ning Ke’s lips—
