Today I just want to post with the little junior sister who is passing by.

Chapter 162 "Is it possible that I want to commit myself to you?" (6007 words)
Xiaohua yawned, blinked a little boredly, her eyes seemed to be able to pinch water, and she said to Jiang Qiao expectantly.

"It's not comfortable to stay here at the deputy sect master's place. I want to eat something, something that monks eat.

"She wouldn't feed me at all. She always left me hungry."

Xiaohua kicked her legs desperately, trying to break away from Jiang Qiao's embrace, but unfortunately its strength was too weak and it did not pose any threat to Jiang Qiao at all.

Jiang Qiao still held on tightly and refused to let go, "Then where can you find the food you want to eat?"

Within Jiang Qiao's ability, he will try his best to satisfy Xiaohua. On the surface, he must maintain a relationship with Xiaohua.

Jiang Qiao doesn't need to establish any relationship with the cat. As long as Jiang Qiao takes good care of the cat, he will naturally not let the deputy sect leader catch anything.

Therefore, he didn't want to react in any way to the cat's complaints about the deputy sect leader.

"If you look in the dining hall, you will definitely find it." Cat vowed.

After finishing speaking, Xiaohua's eyes were still shining.

"By the way, I want to know, as the deputy sect leader, Cat, can you practice?" Jiang Qiao asked.

Jiang Qiao skillfully caught the kitten, "Why do you want to leave now? Shouldn't we go back together? The deputy sect master is still thinking of you."

Xiaohua skillfully walked back and forth in the kitchen, eating the meat of Xiyun Bird with great satisfaction.

After Jiang Qiao put the cat back into Xiao Liangyue's arms, Xiao Liangyue squinted her eyes and said to Jiang Qiao: "It's not easy for you to get Xiaohua back so quickly. Tell me, you What reward do you want?"

"It seems that there is nothing to eat here." Jiang Qiao sighed a few times.

He couldn't push it away, and this was the best reason for him to stay with the deputy sect leader, so he still had to handle this task well for the time being.

Mao Mao blinked innocently, "What's the point of asking? I don't have any realm, so what's wrong."

"??? Then it seems like I have to keep an eye on you all the time."

It is best to keep the cat within a controllable range.

It was also the first time for Jiang Qiao to sneak into the back kitchen of the Mo Zong Canteen. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, including frying, stewing, frying, braised, and stew. The people in the Mo Zong Canteen were proficient in everything.

But regarding the specific nature of this cat, you need to understand clearly. At least he cannot be walked by the cat, otherwise he will still lose a lot of initiative in the future.

"I've already eaten the most delicious food."

"What's wrong? Can't think of what the reward is? As long as it's what you want, I can satisfy you."

"Siyun bird meat is delicious. It's a bit puzzling that such a piece of meat should be thrown away."

Xiaohua immediately said: "It's okay. I'll just sneak out after you send me back."

At night, the empty canteen seemed particularly deserted. At this time, there was no one else but Jiang Qiao and Xiaohua.

Xiaohua said proudly: "Of course I can practice, but I'm too lazy to practice, and my deputy master doesn't want me to practice.

"Have you not thought about it? How could you come to me without some goal? Do you really have no idea at all?"

"...Why die for the deputy sect leader?"

Jiang Qiao walked over and walked in the direction of Xiaohua. He saw a piece of meat suddenly holding something in Xiaohua's mouth, "What are you eating?"

Under the faint moonlight, Jiang Qiao seemed to notice some black dumplings moving slightly. He lit a candle and let the candlelight illuminate the entire kitchen.

Jiang Qiao hadn't figured out what he needed yet, so he stayed in the hall for a long time without saying a word.

The kitten took steps with satisfaction and planned to run away.

Jiang Qiao: "..."

Theoretically, Jiang Qiao couldn't leave the cat alone, but the possession technique was indeed unable to detect its location at all times, which was a bit distressing.

"This can't be said."

"Wait, I seem to have discovered something." Xiaohua used her agile paws to dig at something on the ground, and soon she discovered something.

"Oh, she won't miss me. Let me go out to play. Let me go out to play." The kitten rolled on the ground shamelessly.

Jiang Qiao thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "By the way, can I ask you, what realm are you in?"

"However, she still said that I would be her comeback weapon in the future, so she must take good care of me. In fact, she doesn't like me at all."

"Yeah, I understand. Anyway, let's send you back first."

Jiang Qiao was just talking. In fact, he didn't have so much time to take care of the cat.

"Okay, okay, if you want to go, then we'll go to the canteen." Jiang Qiao was already a little sleepy, but as a subordinate of the deputy chief, it was his responsibility to take good care of the cat.

"When her hands were on me, I felt like I was going to die."

But those dark shadows disappeared. The pots and pans in the kitchen reflected light under the candlelight. Jiang Qiao walked closer and searched in front of the pots and bowls for a long time. Unfortunately, he found nothing. The entire kitchen was turned upside down. After looking all over, I didn't see anything decent that could be called food, except for a bucket of swill that hadn't been poured out yet.

The deputy sect leader's eyes were shining with a strange light for no reason. Jiang Qiao was a little scared when the deputy sect leader stared at him like this.

Jiang Qiao replied coldly, "No, you must go back to me."

Jiang Qiao just listened to Xiaohua saying "Mimi, Mimi, Mimi" a lot, and just listened silently without speaking.

Xiaohua continued: "I will die for the deputy sect leader in the future, so why don't you just give me a few more days before I die?

So, Jiang Qiao replied: "Rewards and the like, my subordinates have not thought about it for the time being."

"Some people said before that they should keep an eye on me all the time, but they gave up later, and you will give up too."

Jiang Qiao shook his head and replied calmly, "Nothing. Can this reward opportunity be left for later?"

"Save it for later?"

"Yes, can you wait until the day when your subordinates have ideas?"

"It's okay. Anyway, you just keep this opportunity. If something big happens in the future, this reward may be used as your gold medal to avoid death.

"Okay, you go down first and let me and Xiaohua stay for a while."

When Jiang Qiao returned to the storage ring, Mu Chenyuan was still in the storage ring space, but she had fallen asleep.

Her sleeping posture was very peaceful, and she seemed to be sleeping comfortably in the storage ring.

When Jiang Qiao went out before, Mu Chenyuan said that he would wait for him, but he didn't expect that he had to wait for so long.

While his thoughts were flowing, Jiang Qiao first turned on the possession technique to check the situation in the Goddess Hall. After confirming that there was no one in Mu Chenyuan's dormitory, Jiang Qiao held Mu Chenyuan in his arms, and then came through the storage ring space. Go to Mu Chenyuan's bedroom.

There was a fragrant breeze in the dormitory, as if the neon clothes had added nice-smelling spices to the palace.

After Jiang Qiao put Mu Chenyuan down, he covered Mu Chenyuan with a quilt.

But after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Qiao took off all the hairpins on Mu Chenyuan's head.

If you sleep with these heavy hairpins on, you may get knocked on your head by them if you turn over.

When Jiang Qiao was halfway dismantled, he found that Mu Chenyuan's lips seemed to be moving, trying to say something.

"No, no, no."

Mu Chenyuan's hands were clutching the quilt tightly. Jiang Qiao didn't know what kind of situation would make Mu Chenyuan feel so uncomfortable, so he held Mu Chenyuan's hand with his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay."

When Jiang Qiao's hand touched Mu Chenyuan's hand, a chill came over him instantly. Why was Mu Chenyuan's hand so cold and without warmth.

Smelling the faint fragrance in the hall, Jiang Qiao's eyes were still a little tired. He slapped his head, trying to stay awake, but in the end, Jiang Qiao slowly fell down.

This is not good, after all, once you fall asleep at that time, you will have no way to control the situation the next day.

If Nishang discovers it, everything will be over.

But even though he was thinking this in his heart, Jiang Qiao's body gradually became paralyzed, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

It's like being thrown into the water suddenly, and suddenly you can't breathe. The more you want to swim to the surface, the deeper the resistance to swimming upstream becomes.

If this continues, it will really be over, that kind of fragrance actually has a paralyzing effect.

He didn't know what the incense in Mu Chenyuan Palace had, so Jiang Qiao's heartbeat gradually became disordered.

When Jiang Qiao woke up, he had appeared in a strange place. Jiang Qiao's hand firmly held Mu Chenyuan's hand, and the two were sailing on a lonely sea.

The two of them looked at nothing for a while, then Mu Chenyuan suddenly hugged Jiang Qiao, "Do you want it?"

"???" Jiang Qiao wondered what exactly was appearing in his mind now. Could it be that it was an illusion just like the world of inner demons?

"Yeah, you promised me, right?"

Mu Chenyuan smiled shyly, then pulled open the ribbon around her waist, took off a thin coat, and then continued to take off her clothes.

With each layer peeled off, the white skin with a hint of pink becomes more and more exposed.

Jiang Qiao looked straight at Mu Chenyuan, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

There were only two of them around Guhai, and only a faint candlelight illuminated Mu Chenyuan's body dimly.

"Where is this?" Jiang Qiao felt a little confused.

"Aqiao, come here, you..."

Jiang Qiao stared at Mu Chenyuan's face, a little confused, "Do you know what you are doing now?"

"I know it, I know it very well."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Mu Chenyuan's face. The smile continued to twist, like a crumpled piece of paper.

Jiang Qiao suddenly pushed Mu Chenyuan away, "No, you're not Mu Chenyuan?"

When Jiang Qiao first came to Mu Chenyuan's room, he felt something strange. It seemed that there was definitely something wrong with the incense in the palace.

Jiang Qiao always felt a little familiar with that aroma.

But now, he has...

Suddenly, Jiang Qiao's body was shaken, "Hey, Ah Qiao, how are you, what happened?
Jiang Qiao's sight suddenly returned to reality. He was still in the main hall. Mu Chenyuan blinked and looked at Jiang Qiao, "Why did you come here? It's so dangerous.

"You shouldn't have come here. Are you unable to move now? Let me help you untie it. Let's go to the shared storage ring." But Jiang Qiao's body was still very numb and he couldn't even respond to any of Mu Chenyuan's words. After saying that, Mu Chenyuan helped Jiang Qiao back into the shared storage ring.

"You shouldn't have come to my bedroom. There is incense in there. If a man smells it, he will have strange hallucinations. Those incense were specially prepared by Nishang, so you are not allowed to come again in the future, you know."

After Jiang Qiao left Mu Chenyuan's dormitory, his face returned to normal and his body gradually improved. He moved his hands and stretched his muscles, and then he slowly said: "I just saw you accidentally storing things. I fell asleep inside. I was afraid that it would delay your tomorrow, and I didn’t want to wake you up, so..."

"Fortunately, I woke up just now, otherwise you would probably fall into layers of illusions and never wake up again."

Mu Chenyuan's sad face reflected in Jiang Qiao's heart.

"Sorry, I will definitely not go there again. This time, I really made you worry."

……

High in the sky, Ouyang Jue held Xiao Hanhan and flew with his sword.

"Ouyang Jue, are we going the wrong way..."

Xiao Hanhan asked. The surrounding land was very steep. She knew that the road to Lingxiao Sect was very long, but she had never heard that it was so dangerous and difficult to enter. Until now, she could not even see the shadow of Lingxiao Sect.

"According to what the letter said, this is how it should go."

Ouyang Jue also had some doubts in his words. He couldn't be lost, but the route was obviously like this.

He helped Xiao Hanhan to sit down on a relatively flat rock, took out the letter, frowned, and read the route again.

Unfortunately, the clouds and fog were so thick that the route ahead was not clearly visible.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Jue's fingers began to tremble more and more as he read the letter. He couldn't imagine what consequences he would face after getting lost.

"Don't be nervous. Why don't you show me the map in the letter? Just arrive an hour ago." Xiao Hanhan gently patted Ouyang Jue on the shoulder, "Want to eat something? I brought a lot with me. I've been walking for so long. , eat a little to replenish your strength."

"Yeah, okay." Ouyang Jue nodded.

Just when they were resting, the sound of rapid and fast footsteps suddenly came from the deep forest not far away.

Ouyang Jue pricked up his ears and listened until he found a man in black bursting out of the thick fog and striking them with a sword.

"Go quickly!!!"

Ouyang Jue shouted in panic. Xiao Hanhan didn't have time to react before he was dragged away by Ouyang Jue and ran away. With a swipe of the air blade formed by gathering spiritual power, the tree trunk was cut off and fell in the direction of Ouyang Jue and Xiao Hanhan.

Ouyang Jue clenched Xiao Hanhan's sleeves tightly and pulled desperately in the opposite direction of the tree. With great difficulty, they finally avoided the tree, but this was only the first step.

Soon, Ouyang Jue discovered that the man in black's target at the beginning was not him, but Xiao Hanhan.

The man in black attacked Xiao Hanhan without hesitation, and the purpose of his subsequent killing moves was very clear.

Before Xiao Hanhan could finish her words, she coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and then she had no strength to continue talking. She lay down on the ground, covered in injuries, and obviously had no strength to stand up and fight again.

Ouyang Jue's injury was not serious. He had just blocked the man in black, but was kicked away and suffered minor injuries.

"Why, you want to kill me." Xiao Hanhan said as he coughed up blood.

"The dead don't deserve to know the reason." The man in black raised his sword and stabbed Xiao Hanhan in the heart.

In Ouyang Jue's heart, although Xiao Hanhan is not his relative, they have grown up together and have become as close as relatives to each other.

He seemed to be able to feel the pain at the moment when his heart was penetrated. No, his sword could still be lifted...

His sword...

He held the sword tightly, and blood flowed from his hand to the hilt.

At that moment, time suddenly stood still.

Blood-colored butterflies lingered beside the sword, and the man in black's sword did not fall down.

[Establish a contract with me. In this case, you can save people. She is very important to you, isn't she. ]
Ouyang Jue heard a soft female voice, but the voice seemed to be quenched with poison.

"what?"

Ouyang Jue couldn't move or open his mouth, but he found that the consciousness in his heart could still talk to the voice.

[I am the sword you hold in your hand. If you establish a contract with me, I can defeat that Nascent Soul monk. Moreover, I only need a small price, which is nothing to you. ]
[I want one of your eyes, but that’s not too much. ]
Want an eye?
Is it just the eyes?

Compared to Xiao Hanhan, who was lying on the ground and about to lose his life, his one eye was nothing.

He said without hesitation: "Okay."

Although he felt ominous, Xiao Hanhan's life was the most important right now, and everything else was nothing.

[If I had known you promised so readily, I should have asked for your arm. Forget it, I will do it next time. ]
Time flowed again, and Ouyang Jue's left eye disappeared immediately, but his left eyelid remained. The eye was peeled off, and he screamed in heart-wrenching pain, while blood and tears slipped down his cheeks.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

He felt like his whole body was on fire, and his throat was hoarse and stinging because he had just lost his eyes, but the sword in his hand was held firmly.

If he couldn't even hold the sword, he couldn't protect anything. He was glad that he still had the strength to hold the sword now.

The rust on the blade disappeared instantly, leaving only a mirror-like clarity and smoothness, slightly emitting a chilling red light.

He raised his sword and headed towards the man in black.

"It's easy to hit an egg against a rock, but you don't know what you can do." The man in black said coldly, "In that case, let's kill you who is in the way first."

The two swords intersected. The man in black's sword was like a hollow bamboo trunk. The moment it collided with Ouyang Jue's sword, it immediately shattered.

"Don't kill me, I'll still..."

"roll!!!!"

Although Ouyang Jue was in pain, he could also feel the power emitted by the sword being continuously transferred into his body.

A red light flashed, and with just three moves, the man in black fell down.

Immediately afterwards, the fog dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the mountain forest.

"Ah Jue..."

Xiao Hanhan was still lying on the ground, Ouyang Jue stuck his sword on the ground and slowly stood up.

He helped the girl up. When the girl saw that the eyelid of his left eye was shriveled, she asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"your eyes……"

"Maybe someone picked out an eye during the fight. It's okay. Just defeat him. We still have to go to Lingxiao Sect." Ouyang Jue's voice was hoarse and he told a lie. Xiao Hanhan probably didn't see it just now.

It would be better not to talk to Xiao Hanhan about the sword contract transaction.

Xiao Hanhan hugged Ouyang Jue and cried. Ouyang Jue lost an eye forever to save her.

……

After the fog dissipated, Ouyang Jue helped Xiao Hanhan stumble step by step and finally reached Lingxiao Sect.

When the gatekeeper disciple of the Lingxiao Sect saw the two entry disciples covered with injuries, they immediately sent them to the Medicine Valley for treatment.

"This eye..." Rao is the master of the Medicine Valley, and this is the first time he has seen the terrifying phenomenon of an eye that is empty and only the eyelids are left. "How could it be injured like this..."

For the empty eye socket, Master Yaogu simply bandaged it. The injury was irreversible, so he could only try his best to prevent the wound from festering.

While applying the medicine, Ouyang Jue kept thinking about his sword.

Judging from what Jian said when he lost an eye and asked Jian for help, he could also seek Jian's help later, but the price might be his own arms, his legs, his head, his life...

What kind of existence is the sword, so evil?

What also puzzled him was Xiao Hanhan. It wasn't that he regretted saving her or had any doubts about the partner he grew up with, but that the man in black's attack basically only targeted Xiao Hanhan.

Does Xiao Hanhan have any other identity? Otherwise, it would be impossible to attract such a terrible killer.

These thoughts have been lingering in Ouyang Jue's mind for a long time, and he can't find any answers for the time being.

After the Yaogu disciples repaired the wounds of Ouyang Jue and Xiao Hanhan, when Xiao Hanhan came out of the room, he could see the sudden eyepatch on Ouyang Jue's left eye.

Xiao Hanhan's face was full of sorrow, why couldn't she protect herself and others were injured instead.

In the end, her injury was cured, but Ouyang Jue lost one eye forever.

Xiao Hanhan's lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

But it was Ouyang Jue who broke the silence first: "Do you have any enemies?"

"No, I don't know, I have no impression."

The girl started crying again.

"Are you blaming yourself?"

"Um……"

"Don't blame yourself. Then how do you want to repay me? Do you want to commit yourself to me?"

Xiao Hanhan was stunned suddenly, and then his face turned crimson, with tears still remaining, and he looked very helpless.

"I'm just kidding."

"Actually, it's not impossible." Xiao Hanhan's face suddenly dropped, but his voice was so soft that Ouyang Jue couldn't hear it at all.

"Ah? What were you mumbling just now?"

Ouyang Jue's expression was indifferent, even a little heartless. He just wanted to tell Xiao Hanhan that it didn't matter what he lost.

The important thing is that they are all alive and well now, and that is enough.

"You're not mumbling anything."

Xiao Hanhan only felt a dull and uncomfortable feeling in his stomach, soreness and discomfort. It was clear that he had been deliberately examining the relationship between himself and Ouyang Jue recently.

But now, how can Xiao Hanhan not be tied to Ouyang Jue? Whatever he wants to do, Xiao Hanhan wants to do it for Ouyang Jue.

Even though she felt uncomfortable, she no longer wanted to leave.
