Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 426 Miss Lu, Your Shoes Are Wrong

In Xuenv's eyes, Gu Xu's poems have a unique charm.

Poems like her own have rhythm, rhetoric, imagination and artistic conception.

Like exquisite embroidery, like beautiful meticulous painting.

Finely crafted, it can be called a masterpiece.

But they cannot escape the invisible shackles of worldly cognition—for example, snow must be soft, falling flowers must be bleak, and autumn must be lonely.

Gu Xu was different.

His poems contain a heroic spirit that looks down on everything, a madness that dares to ignore the rules and do the opposite.

Most people can't write it.She doesn't come out either.

Her eyes closed and opened again.

The water droplets on the stone wall fell on her palm, condensed into a thin layer of ice, and then turned into a colorful flower paper, and a few lines of beautiful and neat words appeared on the paper out of thin air.

Then she clenched her fists quickly.

The flower note in the palm of my hand seemed to have turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.

…………

Seven days passed in a flash.

When Gu Xu finished his practice, he looked up and saw Xue Nu carrying a small bowl made of condensed ice and snow, walking in front of him.

Compared with the previous few days, today's Xue Nu seems to be less calm and calm.

When approaching Gu Xu, she deliberately closed her eyes, turned her head slightly, and pursed her pale lips slightly, as if she was trying to restrain some kind of impulse.

Her posture reminded Gu Xu of those female classmates who wanted to keep their figure in the previous life, silently swallowing their saliva when faced with delicious food.

Of course, Gu Xu is very clear that the delicacy in Xue Nu's eyes is himself.

"Blood?" Gu Xu tried to guess her thoughts.

"Yeah." Xue Nu nodded slightly.

Gu Xu knew that it was time for him to pay the first commission for this fierce bodyguard.

So he cut his palm again, and the dark red blood slowly flowed into the ice bowl, which was particularly dazzling against the white snow.

Xue Nuxiu frowned slightly, and the hand holding the ice bowl began to tremble a little.

When the bowl was half filled with blood, she suddenly disappeared like a phantom, and then appeared on the other side of Gu Xu, touching his throat with her cold fingertips.

Gu Xu sat on the spot, motionless.

He didn't seem to realize that Xue Nu's move might kill him, but just regarded it as a joke.

Of course, regardless of his calm face, in fact, he has long been prepared to use "Time" and "Qiankun"-once Xue Nu really makes a move, he will teleport for his life without hesitation.

Xue Nu's movements stopped suddenly.

She froze for a few seconds, then withdrew her hand.

"Sorry," she lowered her head and said softly, "I...I didn't want to hurt you, but I couldn't control it for a while..."

"It's okay," Gu Xu said with a faint smile, "Miss Lu has saved my life. Even if it really took my life, I have no regrets."

Xue Nu stopped talking, her eyelashes trembling slightly in the wind.

If such words were spoken to Shi Xiaohan, she would surely make Xiafei's cheeks and earlobes turn red.

But Xue Nu is a ghost, not a human being.

She doesn't blush.Gu Xu also had no way of judging her mood at the moment.

He just hoped to evoke some more of her human emotions.

After a brief silence, Xue Nu raised her head and said to Gu Xu seriously: "Thank you."

Then, like a cloud of smoke, it disappeared in front of Gu Xu holding an ice bowl filled with blood.

Gu Xu guessed that she wanted to find a place where he could not see and eat secretly.

A strange feeling arose in him—as if he had become a cow, or a hen laying eggs, being kept at home and provided with a constant supply of food.

About half an hour later, Xue Nu appeared in front of him again.

Although her expression was still indifferent, the coercion on her body was no longer as fierce as before, and the surrounding air was no longer so piercing.

"Let's go!" she said. "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Hearing this, Gu Xu couldn't help but think silently: As expected of a ghost at the level of a god, he really does things neatly.

He looked at Xue Nu's beautiful face, then at her bare feet under her plain white dress, which looked like ice sculptures, and said in a moment of thought: "Miss Lu, before we leave, perhaps... we still need to make some preparations."

"What to prepare?"

"Your appearance is too dazzling. If you appear directly in the town of the human race, it will definitely cause a sensation," he explained, "you need to do some disguise."

"Well, I'll listen to you." Xue Nu nodded, and the expression on her face did not change at all because of Gu Xu's complimenting words.

Gu Xu took out a few sheets of talisman paper, and quickly drew complex runes one after another on them with the "Jinghong Brush".

After he finished drawing the talisman seals and reciting the incantation, these talisman papers turned into a fence and a pair of white embroidered shoes.

"Please put them on, Miss Lu." Gu Xu handed them together to Xuenv's hand, "I have attached a spell to them, which can blur your appearance so that others can't see clearly."

Xue Nu took Mi Li and the embroidered shoes, turned around and disappeared again.

When she reappeared, the power fence covered her pitch-black hair and blocked her otherworldly face. The misty gauze hung down to her waist, and her slender and graceful figure was looming.

That mysterious and awe-inspiring temperament is like a precipitous and magnificent snow peak hidden behind the clouds.

Gu Xu sized her up and was amazed at first glance.

I just marvel at the otherworldly beauty of Xue Nu, which cannot be concealed by ordinary spells.

Then his gaze slowly moved down and landed on her toes.

"Miss Lu," he coughed twice and reminded, "Your shoes are worn backwards."

"Ok?"

Xue Nu looked down at her feet, a little at a loss.

Certain styles of embroidered shoes of the Qi Dynasty are very similar in appearance alone, but if worn backwards, there will be obvious discomfort.

"Your shoes are worn backwards," Gu Xu repeated what he said just now, "Miss Lu, do you feel uncomfortable on your feet when you wear your shoes like this?"

Xue Nu hesitated for a while, then shook her head slightly.

"I'm unconscious," she said.

"Unconscious?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.

"Ah."

Xue Nu paused, and explained softly that she didn't feel anything when she touched something, and she couldn't feel the temperature around her.Even the sense of smell and taste are very different from humans——

She can only smell and taste the prey.

Everything else is bland.

Because of this, for her, wearing embroidered shoes feels the same as walking barefoot in the snow, so she naturally puts on the shoes backwards.

"Don't you feel any pain?" Gu Xu looked at her with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"Well," Xue Nu responded, "unless it hurts the soul, it won't hurt."

At this time, she recalled the scene half an hour ago, and her eyes fell on the wound on Gu Xu's palm.

"Master, um... when you cut your skin just now, it must have hurt, right?"

She struggled to recall what it had been like to be human long ago.

She remembered that when she was a child learning female red, the embroidery needle pierced her fingertips, and the blood flowed out, which made her cry.

These memories have long since faded.

But because of seeing Gu Xu's wound and talking about the lost consciousness, it became clear again.

"It's okay," Gu Xu said with a light smile, "For a man, this little pain is nothing."

"Feel sorry."

Xue Nu's eyes drooped, and she apologized to him again.

"It's okay. I'm happy to serve Miss Lu with blood." Gu Xuhun said indifferently.

He thought, apart from Xuenv, there should be no other strong saints who are so easy to deceive in this world.
