Looking at the body that looked like a human but was actually a demon, Wan Chunliang, who had come all the way to perform the task, never thought that the person he needed to investigate was a big demon, and this big demon had already died.
in other people's hands.
"Junior Brother Xue, you killed the big devil and you can be said to have directly helped me complete the task. This task is eight hundred meritorious deeds, so you and I can each do four hundred." Wan Chunliang made this decision after thinking about it for a while.
.
Without waiting for Xue Chen to refuse, he said: "You deserve this completely. I didn't do anything. You killed it. You should get this merit."
Four hundred meritorious deeds were nothing to Xue Chen and Wan Chunliang. The two of them did not get too entangled in it because there were more important things to talk about.
"Senior Brother Wan, do you know much about demons?"
Wan Chunliang shook his head and said that demons are aliens from the West, and they only have a superficial understanding of them. This is the first time he has seen so-called demons with his own eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xue Chen's heart sank slightly, because he also wanted to ask Wan Chunliang about the heart mark on his palm.
"This is?!"
When Wan Chunliang saw the beating heart on his palm, he was very surprised. He looked at it carefully for a few times, but in the end he said that he had never heard of it or seen it before.
"Junior Brother Xue, I don't know what this mark is, but I think that since this big demon did it before he died, there must be something fishy hidden. You should go to Beijing as soon as possible. There is a Hua Tuo Group in the department.
Someone who specializes in rescuing injured people in the department may be able to uncover this mark."
Needless to say, Wan Chunliang said that Xue Chen had already had this idea. No matter what, he could never let this mark stay on his palm.
"Junior Brother Xue, when you return to Beijing one day, I will treat you to a drink." Wan Chunliang was smiling and very affectionate. It seemed that he regarded Xue Chen as a friend who had only just met him so late.
After watching Wan Chunliang leave, Xue Chen returned to the living room and put away the body of the great demon Gard. He sat on the sofa and sorted out the whole thing carefully.
Now, he has vaguely guessed the reason why Garde would focus on Erniu. It seems that he was negligent. When he got two Purple Qi Donglai Pills, one was given to Ning Xuanxuan, and the other one was given to Ning Xuanxuan.
The naughty Erniu snatched her away like a jelly bean and ate it.
He didn't pay attention and just ate it, but he forgot that Erniu was only seven years old and still had a long life. She was not an old person. The effect of Ziqi Donglai Dan was to increase life span by twenty years. How could it be possible?
Even after digestion, the entire elixir still remains in the body, and it will not be fully absorbed for several years.
After dealing with Gard, he thought carefully and determined that this was the only possibility. Instead of taking out the remaining elixir, he simply helped Erniu digest it. In this way, he would not be in trouble.
Something similar happened.
Erniu's matter has been resolved, but his own matter has not yet.
Looking down at the mark on the palm of his hand that beat at the same frequency as his heart, he frowned and decided to return to the capital the day after tomorrow to solve the problem as soon as possible.
During dinner, Xue Chen told Sister Jiang about his trip to the capital the next day.
"Again, so busy? It's almost the Chinese New Year." Jiang Huilan looked over with soft eyes.
Xue Chen sighed softly: "I will come back as soon as possible. If I can't come back before the New Year, you and Erniu don't have to wait for me, just go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year."
But Jiang Huilan shook her head gently and said that she would not go back to her hometown this year, but would spend the New Year here.
"If I don't go back to my hometown, my uncle and aunt will have to ask my mother for money again." Erniu pursed her lips and said unhappily like a young adult.
Xue Chen also knew the situation in Sister Jiang's hometown and asked her more than once: "If it's about money, there's no need..."
"No, it's not because of money." Jiang Huilan lowered her head slightly and looked at the plate in front of her: "I just... just want to celebrate the New Year here. For Erniu and I, this place is already home."
Yes, she and Erniu have regarded this place as their home. They are no longer just the nanny and the nanny's daughter.
After saying that, Jiang Huilan pursed her lips and looked at Xue Chen with gentle, grateful and dependent eyes.
"Yes, this will always be Sister Jiang and Erniu's home." Xue Chen touched Erniu's little head. The presence of Sister Jiang and Erniu did make him feel like home here.
At night, the cold wind outside the window only accentuated the warmth in the study. Xue Chenren was sitting behind the desk, and his mind had already flown to the roof. He was constantly absorbing the light of the stars and the moon, striving to have a clone as soon as possible.
At this time, Jiang Huilan walked in with a cup of homemade milk tea. There was some shyness, tenderness and affection in her eyebrows. She walked to the desk with light steps and placed the milk tea on the table.
She saw Xue Chen with his eyes closed and wondered if he was asleep? So she went over to remind Xue Chen that since he was tired, he should go back to the bedroom to rest, so she reached out and patted Xue Chen on the shoulder.
"Wake up, wake up..."
But after taking a few shots, the person seemed to have fallen asleep and had no reaction at all.
Jiang Huilan's heart tightened inexplicably, and she felt something was wrong. It didn't look like she was asleep, but rather like she had passed out.
"Xue Chen, Xue Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I'll take you to the hospital!"
Jiang Huilan was completely panicked, and there was even a sound of crying in her throat. She hurriedly helped Xue Chen downstairs and took the car to the hospital.
But at this time, Xue Chen suddenly woke up and opened his eyes: "Sister Jiang, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Seeing Xue Chen suddenly woke up, Jiang Huilan had a little tear in her eyes, and reached out to hit him hard: "How could you make such a joke? Do you know, it scared me to death, scared me to death, woo woo!
"Her legs were weak.
Of course Xue Chen didn't do it on purpose, but his mind returned to the body a little slower. Seeing Sister Jiang panicking and looking like the sky was falling, he felt a little ashamed in his heart. He also felt her concern for him, so he stood up and lowered his head and sobbed.
Sister Jiang hugged her gently and patted her back.
"Sister Jiang, I'm sorry, it's my fault, my fault."
Jiang Huilan slowly stopped sobbing, and before she knew it, her face was pressed against Xue Chen's solid chest, her breathing gradually became short, and she said in a very slight voice: "You go to the capital, be careful on the road, come back soon, and I will
Erniu is still waiting for you to celebrate the New Year together..."
Xue Chen also clearly felt that Sister Jiang's body was getting hotter and hotter, and she was getting softer and softer. She was almost completely leaning on him, and her bulging breasts were pressing him tightly. Listening
Her gentle instructions brought warmth to his heart, and he liked this feeling very much.
Jiang Huilan, who was hugged, also made some movements...
In the middle of the night, Erniu had a nightmare. She sat up suddenly and reached out to touch her mother, but she found that she was the only one on the bed. Just as she was about to cry, the door opened.
"Mom?" Erniu turned around and saw that it was her mother, but it was her uncle who brought her in.
"Mom went downstairs and sprained her feet." Xue Chen coughed.
When Jiang Huilan saw that Erniu was awake, she hurriedly tried to stand up by herself. As a result, her legs were very weak and sore, as if the bones had been taken away and she could no longer use her strength. It could also be said that all her strength had been consumed in the past hour or so.
I was so exhausted that I didn't even have the energy to go downstairs, so I couldn't stand upright and stumbled. Fortunately, I held the door in time, and my face turned red like blood.
Erniu got off the bed sensibly, went to help her mother, blinked her big eyes, and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle, my mother is very heavy."
Xue Chen rubbed his nose and coughed again: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy..."
Erniu said to Jiang Huilan again: "Mom, you have sprained your ankle. Uncle brought you back. Why don't you thank him?"
"I..." Jiang Huilan's face turned red and her eyes were watery as she glanced at Xue Chen, "Thank you... thank you, Xue Chen."
Under Er Niu's innocent big eyes, Xue Chen said "you're welcome" and "escaped" in a hurry.
In her head, Li Tingting pouted her little mouth and said disdainfully: "Shameless."
…
The black heart mark on the palm of his hand was like a stuck in Xue Chen's throat. If he didn't solve it as soon as possible, he would feel uneasy. But before going to Beijing, there was one more person he wanted to see, Ning Xuanxuan.
In a cafe in the city.
"Hey, you actually knew how to ask me out. I thought you had forgotten me. I really don't know what you are busy with now. I went to find you several times, but you were not here." Ning Xuanxuan drank.
He took a sip of coffee, rolled his eyes and let out a sweet groan.
Xue Chen smiled and said, "It's hard to explain in words." As he said that, he took out a small bottle and handed it over.
"What is this?" Miss Ning took it without any politeness and took a look.
"Of course it's a good thing. It's a pill. You don't need to ask about the rest. It can speed up your advancement." Xue Chen put his hands behind his head.
These are some of the elixirs he exchanged for his merits, especially for her.
"Really? If you have a conscience, you still remember me." Ning Xuanxuan raised her eyes and looked over, with a bright and moving smile on her lips.
"If you forget anyone, don't forget you, Sister Xuan. After all, you are the only person I have brought in to practice cultivation. If your cultivation is too poor, won't you lose my face?" Xue Chen chuckled.
His words ignited the powder keg, and Miss Ning asked angrily: "Why, are you afraid that I will embarrass you? Okay, then I don't want it, you can take it back."
"You really don't want it anymore? This is a rare elixir. If you spend money to buy it, no one worth three to four billion will not even take a look at it." Xue Chen played with the medicine bottle while observing Sister Xuan's reaction.
After rolling her eyes twice more, Ning Xuanxuan snorted rather arrogantly: "Okay then, I will reluctantly accept it." After saying that, she took the small medicine bottle back.
Glancing quietly, she faintly saw that there seemed to be a strange black patch on Xue Chen's palm.
"Why are your palms so black?"
Xue Chen frowned and spread his palms: "Are you talking about it?"
When she saw the beating black heart mark, Ning Xuanxuan stood up nervously. (To be continued)
