Continuously stirring the soup in the pot, Dongyue waited until there was no trace of the elixir at all, then he breathed a sigh of relief, went into the house and took out two wooden bowls, and took one bowl to each person. ↗
I found a few more pieces of multigrain and wild vegetable cakes that had been prepared in advance, and placed them in a pile on the table.
"It's time to eat."
He placed the dishes and chopsticks and spoke softly to Jing'er.
"kindness."
Jing'er was knitting something. When she heard this, she put down her needle and thread and sat down at the table.
"It smells so good... Yue'er's craftsmanship is still so good!"
Her face was full of happiness.
"It's just something I learned when I was alone in the past." Dongyue smiled and looked at Jing'er more and more naturally. "Eat it while it's hot. It won't be good when it's cold."
"Yes." Over the years, Jing'er has become accustomed to the warmth of being with Yue'er.
Picking up the soup, she took a piece of wild vegetable pancake, took a careful bite, and put it in her mouth with a mouthful of soup. When she saw Dongyue looking at her, she was suddenly a little confused.
"Why are you looking at me too?"
"Because you are cute..." Dongyue said casually, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her swallowing the food and soup in her mouth.
"Why are you always so sweet?" Jing'er glanced at him with a hint of happiness and continued to pick up the soup and take a sip.
Dongyue also started to eat.
The two of them quickly ate a bowl of soup and a few pieces of wild vegetable pancakes, feeling warm and comfortable.
Seeing that Jing'er remained silent, Dongyue breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Jinger is not a bug master, maybe the tattoo or anything else is just a coincidence. Everything can start again...
Thinking of this, Dongyue's mood suddenly improved a lot, she stood up and said.
"I'll go out and clean up the dishes. You should have a good rest first."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Jinger replied sweetly.
Dongyue put away the bowls and chopsticks, carried them out, and walked towards the nearby stream.
In the house, Jing'er was just about to get up and continue to sit on the bedside to knit, but she didn't expect her body to go limp. Her face flashed purple, and she quickly pressed her abdomen. She only felt that her lower abdomen was like a knife, and the pain was unbearable.
"What's going on?!" Surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Yue'er..." She suddenly remembered that Dongyue also ate the soup like herself. She stood up quickly, but staggered and almost fell to the ground.
laugh!
A sword light suddenly lit up, breaking open the door and stabbing her in the neck.
"Who!" Jing'er raised her right hand and grabbed the sword blade like lightning. The skin of her palm was in direct contact with the sword blade, making a harsh friction sound.
Just as she was about to exert her strength, she was suddenly interrupted by severe pain in her lower abdomen and collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, the sword light flashed again and stabbed towards her face.
puff!
This time, the sword blade pierced into a ball of black mucus. The mucus appeared out of thin air in front of Jing'er, was ignited by the sword, and turned into flying ash and scattered.
Lin Xin's figure appeared at the door, standing tall and looking down at her.
"Insect Master?" he asked casually.
"You!" Jing'er's expression suddenly changed, and she stepped backwards.
"You still have some strength left after being hit by a high-level extermination pill?" Lin Xin was surprised, and the red flower sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
The red sword blade burned. The whole wooden house flashed with flames, and with a whoosh, he suddenly appeared behind Jing'er and struck out with a backhand sword.
Tsk! Ding!
The sword blade touched Jing'er's vest, and it made a crisp sound. The tip of the sword only penetrated a very shallow point.
"Eh?" Surprised by the strength of the opponent's body defense, Lin Xin planned to continue the action. However, he found that Jing'er had already jumped out of the window.
He hurriedly chased out, but was shocked to find that there was only a swarm of green locusts on the ground outside that were quickly disappearing.
"Do you still have some energy left?"
With a flick of his sword blade, a large ball of flame suddenly appeared,
The firelight fell on the locusts, immediately scorching the insects before they could fly away. The sizzling sound of burning and the smell of burning insects filled the air.
Lin Xin stood outside the house, frowning and listening quietly, trying to find out the direction of the other party's escape.
"After being hit by a high-level extermination pill, it should be impossible to use magic, but she can still use it. Her strength... But no matter how strong she is, as long as she is an insect master, she will never be able to use magic frequently.
Law..."
There was a calculation in his mind. Lin Xin's figure flashed and suddenly appeared behind the wooden house.
Dongyue also disappeared.
He was thoughtful and squatted down in front of a footprint to examine it carefully.
*******************
"Yue'er! Are you feeling better?"
Jing'er pulled Dongyue and flew quickly in the forest. There were faint locusts under her feet to help her speed up. Her feet even floated off the ground, but for some reason, she could not pick up the speed.
Dongyue was held by her and ran away, but her eyes were slightly strange.
Zhi!
Suddenly, Dongyue broke away from her and stopped in place.
"Yue'er?" Jing'er suddenly stopped and grabbed his right hand again.
Hands touched each other. Dongyue suddenly shrank.
Jing'er's hand froze and she stared at the other person blankly.
"Are you a insect master?" Dongyue raised her head and looked at her complicatedly.
"Insect Master..." Jing'er paused and her face turned pale.
"You are indeed!" Dongyue suddenly recalled the scene she had seen before, and her stomach began to churn again.
"Yue'er...didn't you say that you would always be with me?" Jing'er lowered her head, with a hint of fear and anxiety in her voice.
Dongyue opened her mouth, but saw Jing'er's somewhat sad face, but couldn't say the next words.
"I...."
"Found it!" Suddenly, Lin Xin's figure appeared not far behind the two of them, looking up.
Before Dongyue could react, she saw Jing'er grabbing his hand, shaking it hard, and throwing it into the air with such force.
"Yue'er, go quickly!"
Jing'er did not retreat but advanced, rushing directly towards Lin Xin.
But having been poisoned by erysipelas, her speed was now equivalent to that of an ordinary innate master. As she flew into the air, several thick vines suddenly shot out from the ground below her body and headed towards her.
The end of the rattan actually has small mouths full of serrations, which are constantly opening and closing. Once the ferocious teeth are bitten, they can tear off a large piece of flesh.
Several vines rushed towards her in mid-air from three directions.
Lin Xin remained motionless, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand. He stood there and looked at her quietly.
Bang!
An invisible aperture exploded all over Jing'er's body, she broke away from the rattan and was thrown away, hitting a big rock on the side like a cannonball. The stone was smashed into pieces and fell into pieces.
In the white lime, Jing'er couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. She collapsed on the ground exhausted.
"Where is your Insect Swarm Transformation Technique?" Lin Xin's figure flickered, and he appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye, slashing it with his sword.
boom!
Jing'er struggled to roll away, but her arms and waist were stabbed by sword energy, and a large piece of flesh and blood suddenly disappeared.
A large pit appeared on the ground where she was originally, with dirt, rocks, grass clippings and blood splattering everywhere.
Just as she dodged, Lin Xin's shadow appeared next to her again, with the tip of the sword facing downwards, bringing out a bloody sword aura.
Jing'er put her palms on the ground and rolled like lightning, narrowly avoiding the sword energy, but she couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood again.
"Don't all insect masters have their original form? Why don't they show their original form?" Lin Xin was slightly puzzled and looked at her with his sword in hand.
Jing'er turned her head and looked in the direction of Dongyue. She just didn't want Yue'er to see her ugly side.
"What a farce." Lin Xin shook his head, not wanting to waste time. It took so long to deal with a insect master who was poisoned.
Instantly appearing in front of the opponent, he raised his sword blade high and slashed down.
Countless firelights suddenly lit up and exploded.
boom!!
Jing'er was blown away, and a deep sword mark on her waist almost cut her into two pieces.
Her vision was blurred. Lying on her side on the grass, she happened to be looking at where Dongyue was standing.
"Yue... Yue'er... hurry... go..."
She reached out her hand in a daze, trying to push Dongyue.
Looking at Jing'er at her feet, Dongyue didn't know why, but she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
He walked over and slowly squatted down.
"Yue...er..." Jing'er's eyes were obviously a little blurry, but she still didn't forget to put her hands on his shoes and push him hard.
"Walk..."
Snap.
Dongyue held her hand.
"I'm here...I'm here..."
For some unknown reason, tears fell on the backs of their hands.
Lin Xin appeared behind him, clenching the red flower sword in his hand, a trace of indifference flashing in his eyes.
"Dongyue. Do you still remember what we said?"
Dongyue's body stiffened.
"Senior brother...I want...to ask you a question."
Lin Xin pointed the tip of his sword diagonally at the ground.
"I'm only going to say this once, get out of my way."
Dongyue didn't react at all, still holding Jing'er's hand tightly.
"I want to let go...but...I don't know why, but he won't let go on his own." He turned his back to Lin Xin, and his whole body seemed to collapse, and tears flowed down like a bursting dam.
"You should know what you are doing." Lin Xin said calmly. The red runes gradually glowed on the red flower sword.
"Senior brother...do you still remember your An Ying...?" Dongyue's words made him tremble.
A moment of silence.
With slow footsteps, Lin Xin walked up to him and looked down at him.
Dongyue also raised her head and looked at him. His hands and Jing'er's hands were tightly held together, as if they were glued together.
choke!!
The sword light flowed, exploding like thunder and lightning, and a coquettish red light shot out from Lin Xin's waist, going straight to the center of Jing'er's eyebrows.
Without any nonsense, the sword blade suddenly thrust out, and a red rainbow light seemed to appear between the three of them.
puff.
In the dull sound, the sword light did not hit Jing'er, but fell on Dongyue who was suddenly blocking the front.
The sword blade was only a slight distance away from his chest, and the sword energy had even torn the clothes on his chest and cracked the skin.
Blood slowly flowed out from his chest, slowly staining a patch of clothes red.
"..." Lin Xin's wrists trembled due to the shock caused by the sudden withdrawal of force.
"Brother..." Dongyue wiped the tears on her face, "I think I still can't let go." As he said this, tears continued to well up in his eyes.
"Whether she is a bug master or not...no one has ever been as kind to me as she is."
Lin Xin looked at him quietly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a long time, he suddenly sheathed his sword, and the red light from the ground flew back, and everything returned to calm.
For some reason, he couldn't help but think of An Ying, Lingling, and that last dance in the snow.
Without looking at the two of them, he turned around and left silently, perhaps just pretending that he had never been there. (To be continued.)
