Chapter 25 [025] Everyone will collapse
Shen Xiang's words were not a discussion, but a notification. After she finished speaking, she sat directly on a stone.

The stone must have been wiped by someone before, so there is not much dust on it.

Shi Qing also stopped, looked at Cangying and said, "Take a rest."

"Okay." The three of them stayed at a place that was similar to a fork in the cave.

This space is relatively wide, and there are two other stone paths.

Shi Qing stood at a distance from the two of them, holding the sword in both hands, leaning against the stone wall, spreading his spiritual awareness around, quietly observing the situation.

The three of them have already been fasting and don't need to eat, but Cangying still brought some food with him because he couldn't resist being greedy.

"Junior sister, would you like some meat?" Cangying handed a piece of braised beef from the kitchen to Shen Xiang.

"I don't want it." Shen Xiang shook her head. She wasn't hungry, nor was she greedy, and she had no appetite.

Besides, she didn’t really need to rest now, she just wanted to sneak away to find Zhongli Jin.

[Host, we are very close to where the hero is. Go down the stone path on the left and move forward. We should be able to reach the stone chamber where he got the opportunity! ]

After hearing this, Shen Xiang smiled crookedly, her eyes sparkling with two rays of light, and she raised her head slightly with satisfaction like a queen: [Okay.]

But Shi Qing is here, and Shen Xiang has seen the abilities of the vicious female supporting role, so it is not easy to escape from under her nose.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Shi Qing, but she didn't expect that Shi Qing was also looking at her!

The other person's brown eyes were calm and reflected her figure quietly.

However, it was just such a simple look that made Shen Xiang suddenly feel like she was being caught! Her heartbeat quickened! Her face flushed!

She turned back suddenly: [System! She is looking at me! She won’t see anything, right?!]

[This... shouldn't be possible, could it be possible that he can hear us talking? ]

Shi Qing: “…”

Yes. I can hear you.

The junior sister wanted to run away and find Zhongli Jin.

So she came here not to look for any opportunity, but to find Zhongli Jin.

But Shi Qing didn’t quite understand. When the engagement was broken off two years ago, it was obvious that the junior sister no longer liked Zhong Li Jin. Why did she want to be with him now?
She knew Shi Xiang quite well. When her junior sister was young, she did want to marry Zhong Li Jin. She said every day that she wanted to have a happy ending with him and that she would go home after completing her mission and tear the bitch who killed her to pieces. But after she turned twelve, she stopped saying these words and gradually lost interest in Zhong Li Jin.

The boy's being abandoned just happened to give her an excuse to break off the engagement.

That day, the master was furious and punished her to go down the mountain. However, the little sister did not feel fear or sadness about going down the mountain. Instead, she felt more relieved.

After packing my bags, I skipped down the mountain.

Everything was fine until a month before she came back, but there was no correspondence for a month, and when she came back, she seemed to have returned to the willful and spoiled state of her childhood.

He started looking for Zhongli Jin, searching for him desperately.

Shi Qing thought that she was possessed by another spirit or had gone astray, but judging from her personality and habits, he was certain that it was her.

Even fear of heights applies.

So - it's really strange.

[She, she's still looking at me! !] Although Chen Xiang didn't sneak a glance at Shi Qing again, she could clearly feel that the other person's gaze on her seemed to be a little more scrutinizing, [Did she really find out something? !]

[Don't worry, host!] The system said: [She can't possibly find out anything!]

Shi Qing: “…”

Already discovered.

"Tsk." Chen Xiang seemed to be unable to hold back first, and turned to look at Shi Qing with a red face: "Can you stop looking at me?"

"Why?" Shi Qing tilted his head slightly.

Chen Xiang said: "I, I don't feel well! Look at me, I don't feel well!"

Shi Qing: “…”

Shi Qing: “Oh.”

She closed her eyes and turned her head to the side.

When Shen Xiang saw this, he immediately ran away!
Now is the time to get rid of Shi Qing and Cangying! She must go find Zhong Lijin! Otherwise, she will have almost no chance to have an affair with the male lead, and her trip will be in vain! !
However, after she had run two steps, her body was wrapped by two long bandages!
Shen Xiang: “…”

The bandage dragged her and slowly pulled her back to her original position.

Cangying frowned: "Junior sister? Why are you running?"

Shen Xiang: “…”

Chen Xiang: "I need to pee urgently."

Cangying obviously didn't believe it: "You're fasting and still have bowel movements?"

Chen Xiang was so flustered that she blurted out, "You, you can eat because you're greedy, so why can't I go to the bathroom because I'm greedy?!"

Cangying: “…”

Shi Qing: “…”

What does greed...have to do with defecation?

!!!

——Junior sister! Could it be that... you have some kind of pica? !

Looking at the two people's confused and shocked eyes, Shen Xiang suddenly realized what she had just said, and immediately felt ashamed and collapsed as if her fig leaf had been removed: "Ahhhhh, I'm so fed up with you two! Let me go!! "

Shi Qing looked at Cangying.

The woman was also looking at her, and they both saw deep shock in each other's eyes.

The next second—

The bandage pulled Shen Xiang in front of Shi Qing, and placed her body flat in mid-air, supported by four bandage strips, and then slowly lowered to the same level as the front waist.

Chen Xiang: "??? What are you going to do?!"

Shi Qing and Cangying looked as if they were facing a great enemy, even more frightened than Shen Xiang.

Cangying looked nervous and stared at Shen Xiang's face.

Although Shi Qing's expression didn't change much, her eyes, which should have been brown, were dark at this moment. Chen Xiang could also clearly feel that the four bandages that bound her seemed to have hardened, scratching her skin and causing pain.

"Junior sister." Cangying spoke first, looking at Chen Xiang with a slightly terrifying look, and said word by word: "Do you have an appetite for some special things?"

Shi Qing didn't say anything, but she waved the braised meat that Cangying had just eaten around Shen Xiang's mouth and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Shen Xiang: “…”

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shi Qing's expression became more serious: "It's over."

Cangying's eyes were filled with tears: "Junior sister, it turns out that you don't refuse to eat braised pork, but you have an eating disorder! Senior sister has wronged you!!"

Chen Xiang: "!! I didn't!!"

——You two are psychos!!! I just didn’t answer!! I just don’t eat food that others have eaten!! From what chain of logic did you deduce that I have pica!!

Shi Qing didn't understand what logical chain was, but the junior sister denied both verbally and in her heart that she had a quirk.

She looked at Cangying and asked, "Try it?"

Seeing this, Cangying could only sigh heavily: "Well, generally speaking, people who are sick but don't admit it will definitely not admit that they are sick! Little Junior Sister, don't worry, as your senior sisters, Shiqing and I will definitely help you overcome it!"

Chen Xiang went even more crazy and collapsed: "Listen to yourself if there is anything wrong with what you said!!"

Cangying took a black pill and handed it to Shen Xiang’s mouth: “Junior sister, this is a Qi and blood pill made from toads, turtles, snakes, centipedes, candied fruits, peony, angelica, etc., you try it and see if it tastes good?”

"I don't want to eat it!" Chenxiang refused.

However, now she had no room to refuse. Cangying stuffed the pill into her mouth. It melted in her mouth, with some sweetness of candied fruit and the fragrance of peony.

"Is it delicious?" Shi Qing asked, blinking.

Shen Xiang licked her lower lip, "It tastes okay, but——"

“Ahhhh!!! Oh my God! You think toads, turtles, snakes, and centipedes are delicious! Junior sister! There really is something wrong with you!!” Cangying collapsed and said, “Wow, it’s us, your senior sisters, who didn’t take good care of you! That’s why you became like this!!” Shiqing’s face was filled with grief, and he said word by word, “I’m sorry.”

Shen Xiang: “…”

Madman! Madman!!!
[System!! System!! Quick!! Save me!! Exchange the teleportation talisman!! I want to get away from these two devils!! They are not human!! Not human!!]

[But host! You don't have enough points to change the teleportation talisman! ]

[Not enough is not enough!! It’s better than dying at the hands of these two devils!! Take me away!! Xuan Xiao Zong, Zhongli Jin!!]

Shi Qing was stunned when he heard their conversation. Before the bandage could react, Shen Xiang's body suddenly disappeared in front of them!
The bandage, no longer bound to its target, swayed left and right for a moment, as if it was also confused.

The air was silent for a moment.

Shi Qing and Cangying looked at each other.

Cangying was stunned, "Eh? Where's my junior sister?"

Shi Qing said: "He ran away."

Cangying couldn't believe it: "No way? He was scared away just like that?!"

"Teleportation Talisman." Shi Qing said, "Run."

It was run using a teleportation talisman.

Cangying: “…”

Ah this.

Ah this! !
She just wanted to teach her junior sister a lesson! Who knew she went too far and scared the girl away! !

"I was just joking." Cangying held his forehead.

Shi Qing: "......? Are you kidding?"

Cangying: "...You don't really believe it, do you?"

Shi Qing: “…” Yeah.

Cangying: “…”

Cangying: "Let's go and find someone first."

*
After escaping from the two crazy women, Shen Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She slid down to the ground with her back against the stone wall, gasping for breath.

However, without the protection of Shi Qing's aperture, every breath of air she breathed was filled with heat and stench, causing her to gasp as she breathed.

“Ugh… Bastards!!… Yue!! Two devils! Ugh ugh ugh… I won’t let you go!! Ugh ugh ugh… I’m going to vomit out my bile…”

After taking a short break, Shen Xiang finally had the strength to stand up.

She tried to mobilize the spiritual power around her body and slowly dispel the hot air and unpleasant smell according to the system's instructions, and gradually she felt better.

"Huh..." He let out a long sigh.

I almost forgot that the owner of this body is also a sword cultivator and has spiritual power to borrow.

Shen Xiang walked along the stone path for two steps. Since she was teleported to Zhongli Jin, why didn't she see anyone?

The girl was puzzled and looked around until she heard footsteps approaching from afar, then she felt relieved.

——It must be the male lead!

Chen Xiang hurried forward, ready to pretend to meet the male protagonist by chance, "Zhongli——"

As soon as she turned the corner, she came face to face with a terrifying monster.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Even the spiritual power halo couldn't block the stench of decay.

Shen Xiang stood there, his face pale with fear. Fortunately, the system reacted quickly and shouted, "Run! ! ! !"

Shen Xiang finally woke up from her dream, and she rolled and crawled, screaming and running away - "Ah ...

The monster was also extremely fast, and Shen Xiang couldn't outrun it at all. The hard feather-like scales shot from behind instantly pierced one of her hands and one of her ankles!
"Bang!" Shen Xiang fell heavily to the ground, and his internal organs hurt as if they were being roasted on fire.

"It hurts!" Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. As a spoiled rich girl, and a popular favorite, how could she have ever suffered such injustice in all these years? !

[System! System, save me! ]

[Host! My points are gone, and I can't do anything about it now! ]

[So you're just going to watch me die? ! ]

[The male protagonist! The male protagonist must be nearby! ]

The words fell in Shen Xiang's mind, and the next moment, a white light flashed, and Shen Xiang's body was suddenly picked up by someone!

She was stunned, and suddenly she smelled the fragrance of snow lotus. The smell seemed to bring more comfort and peace to her heart.

[It’s the hero! He’s here!] the system said excitedly.

*
Fortunately, we arrived in time.

Zhongli Jin dragged the man into the branch stone passage next to him and fed him a Cangxi Pill.

The monster that was chasing after them sniffed around with its nose, but found that it had lost track of the two guys. It roared in anger, pounded its chest like a gorilla, and turned away angrily.

After the monster's footsteps slowly disappeared, Zhongli Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then set his eyes on Shen Xiang, who looked pale beside him, and asked with a frown: "Junior Sister, why are you here?"

Chen Xiang had prepared a speech early in the morning. He swallowed and said, "I... was just walking around with my senior sisters, and then I found a big door with a hole. I thought there might be some opportunities inside, so I came in... Who knew that there would be such a monster inside..."

Zhongli Jin: “…”

He knew that the junior sister must be lying. It was impossible for her to just walk around and happen to walk to where he was without any premeditation.

[Youngster, this little girl is too persistent... How about——]

[Senior…] Zhongli Jin refused helplessly, and responded with fatigue in his mind: [Those who practice Taoism do not talk about love.]

[Who said that? You are not practicing the ruthless way.]

Zhongli Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I. Can. Be. 】

Old man: […Ahem, alright.]

He doesn’t even call himself a junior. It seems he is really angry. Ahem.

"Senior Sister Cangying and Senior Sister Shiqing are here too?" Although he didn't believe that the three of them just came in casually, it was very likely that Shiqing and Cangying were here too.

Shen Xiang spread his hands: "I think so, we got separated."

When he spread his hands, the places where the scales pierced were exposed to Shen Xiang.

The girl, who had already forgotten the pain, then remembered it.

The next second—she burst into tears.

"it hurts!!!!"

In order to prevent her crying from attracting the monster back, Zhongli Jin had to quickly give her another resurrection pill.

The pain subsided a little, and Shen Xiang sobbed softly, curled up in the corner and didn't move.

Zhong Lijin said: "Junior Sister, are you okay? We have to get out quickly."

Chen Xiang stood up and followed behind Zhong Lijin. He rolled his eyes and pretended to look at the boy with a pitiful expression, and asked, "Junior Brother Zhongli, my foot is also injured. I can't walk a few steps. Can you... carry me?"

Zhongli Jin: “…”

Looking at Shen Xiang's pink dress that was stained with dirt and blood.

——He really wanted to refuse.

　Here we come!!! Good night, babies!! ~~
