There is still some time before the end of the trial. After everyone unanimously discussed, they decided to wait for tomorrow to break up and look for other fox races in the secret realm, and then take them to the outside world for cultivation.

Qiao Yan brought Yan Qing and other fellow clan members into the room to heal his injuries, but they stayed behind closed doors ever since.

As the only sober descendant of the fox tribe, she would not feel well in her heart after learning the truth and thinking about the bits and pieces of the past few years. He Zhizhou, who is the thickest line, knew this well and didn't bother much.

It was getting late now, and everyone found a room to rest temporarily.

Pei Ji specially chose a quiet hut for Ningning. After cleaning it carefully with the dust removal technique and broom towels, he took out a quilt from the storage bag and laid it on the bed.

When she picked her up from the wooden chair aside and put her on the bed carefully, Pei Ji lowered her head subconsciously.

Ningning is very light.

Prior to this, he had very little impression of the body of others. Whether it was a fight during the wandering journey as a child or the provocation of a fellow teacher after entering the teacher’s door, the people he met were always tough, even if he hit them with a fist. On his body, Pei Ji will not feel distressed.

But when he hugged Ningning, he didn't even dare to use any extra strength. The palm on her shoulder was soft and hot, making him feel at a loss as never before.

The little girl in her arms was sleepy and her body was soft as if she couldn't touch her bones. When Pei Ji stood still, she could hear her shallow and regular breathing.

I didn't feel it before by the noisy waterfall, but now the sound seemed to bring some heat, and when it passed gently by the ear, it made him feel a little dry for no reason.

……it's wired.

Pei Ji pursed her lips and moved her gaze away from her face, laying Ning Ning flat on the bed, and tucked the quilt for her unskillfully.

His fighting and swordsmanship are both top-notch, but he did this for others for the first time, so he looked very clumsy, and even made Chengying amused laughed cautiously.

"Hey, I said Pei Xiaoji, you are just tucking a quilt, don't you need to be so formal? I don't know, I thought it was serving the emperor."

Chengying's laugh never stopped: "Why, so cautious, don't you dare to touch her?"

When it said this, Pei Ji was flattening the quilt near Ningning's neck, and he said coldly: "What is the emperor."

"Yo yo yo! You have a backbone, it's incredible!"

Its laughter sank a little, and it became a bit tricky and unkind: "I know I know that no one can compare to Ningning. If you think she is important, just say it. What's the relationship between our brothers? Is it so oblique."

Wanting to come to Chengying to build a relationship, I really do everything. I used to call myself an old mother, but now I am a brother again. I don't know what I will call in a different way in the future. It is really screaming and ruining the three views.

Pei Ji turned a deaf ear to it, her long eyelashes cast a shadow on the bottom of her eyes, and looked down at Ning Ning again.

Mingming only deliberately turned his gaze away from her not long ago, and he felt that he was really weak.

When she was lying on the bed, her whole head was slightly sunken in the pillow, and the scattered long hair gathered on both sides of her cheeks, reflecting the bright white skin like beautiful jade.

Sweeping his eyes roughly, one can see the slender eyelashes like a small fan, the delicate bridge of the nose and the rose-colored lips. Ning Ning is the opposite of him. Whether he is awake or asleep, he is approachable from the inside out. The gentle breath makes people can't help but want to get closer.

Unlike him, who was always cold and dry, didn't know how to interact with people, and didn't know any taste. There were only two things in life, "living" and "sword training", which was simply boring.

Pei Ji seriously thought about why Ningning was willing to approach him again and again.

Obviously he couldn't give her anything, there was no use value, and there were always so many friends around her, and there was no shortage of him in any case. Even so, Ningning would still go to the yard to look for him every other time, standing at the door with a smile and waving his hand: "Little Junior Brother!"

Later, Pei Ji thought, maybe the reason why Ningning is good to him is because she is good to everyone.

——But he didn't want her to be so good to everyone.

Pei Ji was taken aback by this weird thought and frowned in confusion. Just as he frowned, Ning Ning, who was lying on the bed, also frowned and shook his head gently.

It turned out that a few strands of hair fell on her face, and when the night wind blew it, it swayed like itching.

Pei Ji's fingertips moved slightly.

His right hand fell quickly and lightly, and when his fingertips just touched Ning Ning's cheek, there was a noticeable pause in the entire back.

When the fingers brushed the hair off, they also ran across the delicate skin of the girl's face at the same time.

……bumped into.

Ningning's cheeks were incredibly soft, but with a flick, her fingers would slide down with force. Even if he quickly removed his hand, the soft, soft touch still remained at his fingertips.

Pei Ji has always hated the touch of others, but for some reason, he doesn't hate this feeling.

Even... even if you have more, you won't find it bothersome.

He suddenly felt a little confused in his heart.

"Do you count this as such?" Chengying did not notice Pei Ji's abnormality, and tried to consider her words, "quietly touched Ningning's face?"

Pei Ji finally responded to it this time, her tone of impatience: "Shut up."

Chengying didn't understand why the young master suddenly felt bad, and watched him walk out of the room with a calm face, closing the door as quietly as possible.

It wasn't until I caught a glimpse of his thumb that was tightly pressed against his index finger, that he burst into laughter: "No, Pei Xiaoji! Ningning is still asleep now, you can make yourself ashamed, if you wait for her to wake up, you What should I do!"

Pei Ji paused, and a murderous look was in the bottom of his eyes: "Shut up."

*

Perhaps thinking of Qin Niang, Ning Ning dreamed of mom and dad in another world.

She was spoiled and grown up, and later became seriously ill, and her parents were even more upset. It's a pity that they paid so much for her, but in the end they didn't enjoy the slightest filial piety that their daughter should do, and they separated from each other early.

Ningning felt sad the more she thought about it. When she woke up, she burst into tears, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

She didn't know how long she had slept, she could only see through the window that it was still late at night——

Wait, windows.

Didn't she stay by the waterfall with Pei Ji before? Could it be that he shifted his position? By the way, when next to the waterfall...

Was she picked up by Pei Jiheng, and leaned her head on his shoulder to sleep?

That's not right, the movement of head resting on the shoulders seems to be the initiative of Pei Ji... right?

She was delirious, half awake, and didn't know what was reality and what was dream. However, whether the rest of the memory is true or false, the involuntary hug is absolutely true.

If Pei Ji really put her head on her shoulders--

Ah, ah, that’s too, too ambiguous!

Ning Ning became more panicked the more he thought about it, and he simply shrank into the quilt, rolling around on the bed with his eyes closed, wrapping himself in a round and round strip that was no different from a silkworm cocoon.

She has a beautiful appearance and a good personality. She has received many confessions since she was a child, but she has never been in love. Not only because of the strict control at home, but more importantly, it seems that Ningning finds it difficult to have a good impression of those boys——

I don't like too close contact between the opposite sex, and it also resists the purposeful teasing and gestures. I am immune to all the bombardment of rhetoric. It can be described as invulnerable and invulnerable.

However, thinking of the previous incident with Pei Ji by the waterfall, unexpectedly, it didn't seem to be annoying.

Ningning got his head out of the quilt and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

There must be a reasonable explanation.

Maybe it was because life was at stake at the time, these actions could be forgotten, maybe she and Pei Ji had a fateful friendship, maybe the folk customs of the cultivation world were open, and between men and women——

Pooh.

If the world of comprehension is open again, can it be compared to the 21st century?

The more Ningning thought about it, the more upset she became. Seeing that sleep had become a luxury, she got up from the bed with her messy black hair on her head.

The eyes of the water mirror were broken by her, and now the two secret realms should have been merged into one, and the place where this house is located must be the village where the foxes once lived together.

The village has been abandoned for a long time. It is supposed to be dusty and dirty, but it is clean and tidy here, and there is no trace of dust on the bed; the shoes are placed on the ground upright, not like her normal feet. The habit of kicking.

Until then, Ningning tried to think very seriously: it should be Pei Ji who brought her here, the one who cleaned up the house, took off her shoes and tucked the quilt...

Wouldn't it be him?

Probably not.

Ningning tried to imagine the situation at that time, but she always felt very awkward. In the original book, Pei Ji went his own way, a life-threatening murderer who proves the way with the sword. There is no one who has the patience to do this kind of thing.

But... the quilt did have a smell that belonged to him, and Ning Ning smelled it when she wrapped herself in it.

She couldn't think of a reason, because that dream was particularly upset, and she decided to go out alone with nothing to do.

Open the door and you will see a courtyard. The yard is square and square, surrounded by several other houses, and a big tree that has withered in the center, and next to the trunk—

Ningning was taken aback for a moment.

There was a tall figure standing beside the tree trunk, it was Pei Ji.

It should be very late now.

The sky was so dark, there was no trace of the moon, only a permanent light at the door was still on, but it set off the scenery even more spooky, like a ghost fire igniting in the abyss, and blood-red devilish air wandered around.

How could she not have expected that she would actually see Pei Ji at this moment, and yelled a little hesitantly: "Pei Ji, are you still asleep?"

After speaking, he chuckled softly and asked in a joking tone: "Isn't it waiting for me to wake up."

Ningning was indeed joking, and Pei Ji did not exceed her expectation, holding the sword indifferently and replied, "No."

After a short pause, he added in a deep voice: "I can't sleep, come out and walk."

"I'm pooh! It's not! Are you telling lies without blinking your eyes!"

A middle-aged man’s majestic voice sounded in his ears, full of bitterness and indignation, like a small report: "Ningning, listen to me! This kid is obviously worried that you will wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, or you don’t know the moment. Circumstances, either the spiritual energy is exhausted and something goes wrong, so he stays here all the time-he didn't even dare to enter your house and say, "Men and women are not married or not," I am!"

Unfortunately, Ningning couldn't hear a word.

Pei Ji was expressionless, and Cheng Ying continued to shout with indignation, "Did you see the sword in his hand? This kid is afraid of the dark, so he can stay outside alone by holding it! Damn it! It made me sleep too! I don’t know, how many hours have you waited? The old man has to rest too, okay!"

"You can't sleep either?"

Ningning smiled, "How about we go out together?"

Pei Ji was silent for a moment, seemingly reluctant: "Yeah."

Cheng Ying: Ha ha.

*

The real secret realm was much more gloomy than the previous one, and it was dim all around like a horror film set, with only a few ever-bright lights hanging in front of the courtyard shining brightly.

Walking side by side in this atmosphere, there is not much romance at all, but it is like a dog and a woman in a horror movie about to receive a box lunch.

Pei Ji has been holding the sword in his hand, occasionally looking down at her without a trace.

Before the two were far apart, and with the darkness all around, he couldn't see Ning Ning's appearance very clearly. Now that she walked side by side, she realized that she had probably cried, and her eyes were pale red.

He would not comfort people, and he could not understand why the little girl beside him shed tears. Although he pondered for a long time how to speak, but in the end he told her coldly: "If someone makes you unhappy, you can tell me."

Ningning looked at him in a daze, and listened to Pei Jiyun's calm explanation, seemingly not caring: "I will fight."

She felt a little depressed at first, but when she heard these words, she chuckled and asked him with her eyes bent, "Junior Brother, do you always use this trick to deal with people?"

Ningning seldom calls him "junior brother", but now he bit these two words very clearly, with a bit of ridicule.

Pei Ji was extremely tough in his xinxing. No matter what kind of danger he encountered and how badly he suffered, he could always bear it silently. However, in the way of dealing with people and things, sometimes it is naive to be a child.

He doesn't speak, let alone pleases people. He fights when something goes wrong, and stays silent the rest of the time. He is clumsy even to comfort others.

Pei Ji frowned, and for the first time expressed dissatisfaction with this title: "I am older than you."

"Good, good."

Putting her hands behind her back, she saw the road ahead clearly by the light, pursing her lips and smiling: "Actually, I think of my father and mother. I haven't seen them for a long time."

In addition to being detached from the commonplace, spiritual practitioners have a much longer life span than ordinary people. Therefore, they often cut off the ties of dust and do not deliberately contact their parents.

Pei Ji didn't hear anything wrong, so he whispered a low "um", and then hesitated: "If you are thinking of your parents, wait for some free time--"

He paused for a while, then turned his gaze to the opposite side of Ningning, with a casual tone: "I can barely make time to accompany you down the mountain."

"Oh, you're still ‘reluctantly taking time’, then you are really reluctant enough, and you’ve already felt gratified in your heart."

Chengying sneered and said cool words to the side: "I'm so anxious to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I can't see it, Pei Xiaoji, let's be a little reserved."

"Actually, it's not a question of not being able to descend..."

Ningning sighed slightly and turned to the subject: "Qiao Yan knows the truth?"

"Yeah." Pei Ji said, "but the fox clan can still be saved, we have discussed it, and when the secret is opened, we will take them all out."

The girl Qiao Yan has lived for her clan for many years, and when she learns that her self-righteous clan are all demons, she will definitely not want to live. Fortunately, the spirit fox line has not yet been extinct, so she can regain some of the broken hope.

The village is not big, and the two of them quickly came to an end. They wanted to go back home, but unexpectedly a thunder suddenly came from the horizon.

Ningning looked up blankly, and just raised her face, she was hit by the crackling raindrops.

"……It's raining?"

She was still staring at the rain in a daze, her sleeves were pulled unexpectedly, and her head was suddenly covered with a thin layer of fabric.

It turned out that Pei Ji took an outer shirt from the storage bag, and after putting it on top of her head, he grabbed Ningning's sleeve and led her straight to the nearest house.

This side is remote and there is no light. The house is only broken and ruined due to the war, and the only remaining eaves are so narrow that it can only cover five people.

The night was slowly flowing like flowing water, when Ningning looked forward, she saw the vague shadow of the young man.

I don't know if it was an illusion. When the surroundings were completely covered by darkness, Pei Ji held her sleeves and squeezed her fingers slightly, causing Ningning to take another step forward.

"what happened?"

After a while, Pei Ji's voice came from the darkness, as dull as the night: "It's okay."

After entering the dilapidated house, he loosened Ningning's sleeves, walked to the corner with his sword in his arms, and leaned against the wall; Ning Ning was very minded and stood not far away to look at the scenery outside the house.

It should have not rained for a long time in the secret realm, and the ground cracked with fine marks, and small transparent bubbles appeared under the moisture of rain. There was a light in the distance, and only a very vague light came, dyeing the rain into turbid white.

"It seems to have cooled down."

The house collapsed in half, without doors, windows and most of the walls. The rain swept in from the front and flew in obliquely. Ningning was sour in her eyes by the night wind. She gathered her coat and turned to look at Pei Ji: "Are you cold?"

When she turned her head, a flash of lightning happened to flash across the horizon.

The glaring white light illuminated the boy's cold face, Ningning was a little surprised to find that Pei Ji was biting her lip, and her face turned pale abnormally.

Here is the remnant power of the demon clan wandering around... is he affected by this, is the devil qi coming back?

But there was no black air next to Pei Ji, which was different from the previous few times.

Ningning only glanced briefly, and then dimmed again. Perplexed, she suddenly remembered a few narratives in the original book.

When Pei Ji was a child, she was locked in a cellar by her mother. The dark room was completely dark, plus the wounds all over her body from being abused...

By the way, the original text did say that he often turns on a light when he sleeps.

When Ningning saw this, she was still wondering about this move. Now, after thinking about it carefully, he wouldn't be Pei Ji, afraid of the dark?

Another flash of lightning flashed, and the black-clothed teenager standing in the corner noticed her sight and twisted his head to the other side sternly.

His black hair was soaked by the rain that flew in at an angle, and his body was stretched straight, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

Ningning guessed the general idea, and after a short hesitation, he took a few steps forward and slowly approached him.

Pei Ji quietly moved to the corner of the wall, her voice stiff: "What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid of the dark."

She smiled a little when she spoke, and walked to him like a gust of wind, and brought the soft fragrance of gardenia: "I want to talk to you."

"Ningning is afraid of the dark? Why didn't I find out before—she also said that she couldn't sleep because of being shaken by a mushroom."

Cheng Ying thief whispered to him, and suddenly burst into laughter in the middle of the speech: "Pei Xiaoji, she doesn't see that you are afraid of the dark, but she doesn't want to tell him directly to hurt your face, so she used this An excuse!"

Pei Ji just wanted to punch it in front of the door.

"I'm not afraid of the dark."

He moved another step to the corner, this time with nowhere to go, and came to the cold corner: "I just don't like it."

Ningning was taken aback for a moment.

This person's brain circuit is really strange, she has thought of a foolproof excuse to get close to Pei Ji not to make him afraid. Unexpectedly, not only did he see her intentions, but he also blew up on the spot and was too awkward.

She glanced sideways and saw the sharp outline of Pei Ji's side face. He probably felt embarrassed, bowed his head and stared at the ground in the corner.

Ningning held back a smile, and asked him in a brisk voice, "I don't like darkness, and go out alone when I can't sleep at night?"

She just said casually before, but now she is really suspicious. The reason why he stood alone in the dark courtyard was to wait for her to wake up.

"Hahaha Haningning deserves to be you!"

Chengying was so happy that she was rolling in the sea, her body writhing like a bug: "This stinky boy, Pei Ji, not only waited for you to wake up outside the door, but he quietly poked you in the face while you were asleep!"

Pei Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding the sword tighter.

The heavy rain diluted all the light, and the room was full of dust and sultry air. A muffled thunder rang unexpectedly, Ning Ning's heart moved, and he looked at the silence.

He actually frowned subconsciously, and the long sword in his hand flickered.

If the relationship between them is closer, maybe they can hug and hug like the heroes and heroines in love movies, but she can't just move forward without saying a word——

The thunder in the dark night, the violent storm, the empty old house and the woman suddenly approaching, this is clearly a horror movie or a legal documentary, the kind that can be a nightmare in retrospect in the middle of the night.

The atmosphere solidified for a while.

Suddenly Pei Ji heard her voice, and gently scratched her ear like a cat's claw: "Pei Ji."

He suddenly looked up and saw Ning Ning's bright eyes.

She seemed to hook her finger at him, mysteriously: "Come here a little bit."

Seeing him showing a confused look, Ningning sneered and said, "I won't eat you again, so what are you afraid of?"

So Pei Ji stiffened his back and moved a step closer to her.

The familiar fresh scent enveloped the tip of his nose again, and he felt unprepared, feeling the top of his head covered with something.

Ningning put the outer shirt on him again.

Pei Ji couldn't understand her intention, and shook his head in the fabric dumbfounded. Before he was caught off guard, he suddenly noticed that the outer shirt was lifted, and he leaned into another small head.

Ning Ning and him stood together under the outer shirt, the thin fabric swayed down, blocking the rain that was flying diagonally, and enclosing an extremely small space beside the two of them.

There is only room for the two of them.

Pei Ji hates darkness, and also hates narrow and crampedness, but at this moment both have both, but he feels unprecedented peace of mind.

Perhaps it was because there were more than them, there was also a Ningning here, and someone was by his side for the first time.

Although they didn't touch them, they were close at hand, and this small space was filled with the temperature and aura that belonged to a girl, completely enveloped him.

"So I won't be afraid."

Ningning smiled softly: "I can know that you are next to me."

She stopped for a while, and suddenly asked, "Ji Ji, what kind of girl do you like?"

Chengying, who had been twittering, stopped abruptly, without making a sound.

"Don't think too much, just just ask casually, nothing else."

Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, almost engulfed by the patter of rain: "Because you seem to rarely interact with girls in the martial arts, I'm a little better—"

The last "odd" word stuck in his throat, Ningning couldn't speak anymore.

Isn't it right? Even if Pei Ji played bachelor for a lifetime like in the original book, it doesn't matter to her. What is she curious about? Such an explanation is even more strange.

Ningning didn't know why she asked that sentence in a daze. For a moment, her ears became a little cramped, and she subconsciously tightened her outer shirt, pursing her lips and raising her eyes.

At this look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Pei Ji's eyes were dark and deep, and he was looking at her without blinking.
