He leaned against the deck and stared at Muning with a condescending expression, his long crow-feathered eyelashes casting shadows.
"I was wondering..." He spoke leisurely and casually, his tone rising, and the topic suddenly changed, "Is it time to leave your team?"
?? The words came suddenly and unexpectedly. Muning was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he said, and said in silence, "Why?"
We've obviously gotten along quite well these past few days, so why are we leaving all of a sudden? Muning knew his identity and "crime" in his previous life, and she was very worried that Lu Mingzhu was not with her.
He glanced at her playfully and said slowly, "What did you promise me when we went down the mountain before?"
"Catch monsters to replenish your essence."
"Tsk, it seems you know it too." He finally turned his head leisurely and casually, his eyes as deep as a bottomless cold pool.
Muning felt guilty and avoided his probing eyes, but Lu Mingzhu did not intend to let her go, and moved closer to Muning. The distance between the two of them shortened in an instant, the man's familiar aura suppressed him, and his eyes were very close. .
"It took me so long to go down the mountain, and then I met a monster while following you. That useless thing sucked so much of my blood and finally blew itself up? In the end, I didn't catch anything." His voice was seductive, "So... …How do you compensate me?”
He slowly raised his eyelids and met her eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, curved the corners of his lips into a nice arc, and smiled like a crescent moon, but there was no warmth in his eyes, and he was cold and aloof. Muning's scalp was numb as he stared at her, as if he would be silenced if he was not satisfied with the answer.
Compensation? What does this have to do with her, Mu Ning? She wasn't the one who sucked his blood. She didn't get the advantage and took the blame.
Muning's head was in chaos, but he still suppressed the intense emotion in his eyes and smiled sadly, "Okay, okay, how do you want me to compensate you?"
I really owed him something from my previous life!What can I do? I can only pamper her.
Seeing Muning's resignation and a bit... doting look, Lu Mingzhu couldn't understand. He tilted his head and stared at Muning, feeling extremely puzzled by Muning's "obedience".
Seeing that Lu Mingzhu didn't speak for a long time, Muning said, "If you don't think of how to compensate me, then I'll just owe it first, but don't leave."
The girl clasped her hands together, blinked her eyes and stared at Lu Mingzhu in supplication. Those eyes seemed to contain the scenery of thousands of rivers and mountains and the dazzling brightness of fireworks. She couldn't look away after just one look.
"We will always encounter powerful demons along the way. You are so powerful, you are simply the savior of our team! Lu Mingzhu, we can't live without you!"
Lu Mingzhu only heard one sentence in his mind: "I can't live without you." After hearing this, his ears suddenly turned red and he turned around in a panic.
There was a bit of anger and shame in the young man's tone, "You...why do you speak so openly!"
He and Muning had only known each other for a few months, and even though immortals and demons have different paths, this girl knew his identity and yet she still got close to him, and she even shamelessly... confessed her love?!
Muning naturally didn't expect the twists and turns in Lu Mingzhu's heart.
What's going on? Is even flattery a sensitive word now? She murmured in a low voice, "Isn't this normal? People have mouths to express what they think in order to avoid misunderstanding."
What if I don't keep you like this and you run out and cause harm to the world? In the second half of the sentence, Mu Ning only slandered in his heart and did not speak.
Thinking that Lu Mingzhu had neither father nor mother to love him since he was a child, and naturally no one taught him how to behave, Muning decided to teach this little devil well.
She cleared her throat and said, "As a man, you have to be open-minded. If you have anything you want to say or do, just say it openly. It's the right thing to do! Come on, tell me what you want to do now. ?”
Lu Mingzhu: "." Muning: "..."
With a swaying sound, the cargo on the ship collided into a mess, some light cargo was thrown out directly, and many heavy luggage stacked like hills collapsed, such as those behind Lu Mingzhu.
Well--
Both of them were crushed by the cargo before they could react. Since they were facing Lu Mingzhu, Muning was not spared and was bullied and crushed by Lu Mingzhu.
She thought that the heavy cargo and the weight of Lu Mingzhu would knock her out, but the expected feeling of oppression did not appear. She could only feel the friction and closeness of the fabrics of their clothes.
Lu Mingzhu held up his body to give her a breathing space, but the two of them were still close to each other, and he could feel the soft curves of her breaths intertwined, heat spread between them, and the girl's fragrance intertwined in the sea breeze, as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.
There's that damn aroma again.
Lu Mingzhu felt that her heart was beating wildly and her body was a little out of control, just like the last time she was in the hot spring...
"Aning!" A low voice came, breaking Lu Mingzhu's mood.
The dock hit the shore. Jiang Suisui and Li Nianxue wanted to enter the cabin to see if their luggage was damaged, but they didn't expect to see such a scene! Jiang Sui Sui took the lead in pulling the people out of the cargo. Lu Mingzhu blocked most of the goods for Muning, and Jiang Sui Sui easily took the people out.
Li Nianxue pulled him into his arms. The two senior brothers and sisters looked at Lu Mingzhu in front of them with strange expressions, as if they were parents protecting a young child.
His expression had long since returned to normal, looking calm.
Such a calm and cold look made Jiang Sui somewhat doubtful of what he had just seen.
But he is also a man, and there is something clearly wrong with Lu Mingzhu’s eyes...
Seeing that the two of them were quite hostile towards Lu Mingzhu, Muning quickly spoke to calm the atmosphere, "There was an accident just now. We were 'attacked' by some cargo before we could react. Lu Mingzhu did this to save me." of."
Li Nianxue nodded knowingly when she learned about this, and said to Lu Mingzhu, "Thank you for taking care of Aning." Then he knocked on Muning's head, "Don't scare away in the future, it's safe to stay with us, don't always It’s a nuisance to others.”
"We" and "people" are two words that instantly separate the relationship between several people.
Lu Mingzhu naturally heard the alienation and hint in these words, but he was holding back an inexplicable fire in his heart. He snorted and left the cabin, ignoring the others.
Muning naturally noticed that Lu Mingzhu was not in a good mood. When he saw the person walking away, he sighed and looked at the two senior brothers and sisters who were "protecting their shortcomings".
The two of them were brave enough to challenge the devil so openly and subtly.
Reminiscing about the scene where Lu Mingzhu slaughtered the disciples of the Immortal Sect in his previous life, Muning decided to persuade him suggestively, "Let's be polite to him. If he becomes a powerful figure in the future, it is always a bad thing to offend him. .”
Even Muning didn't notice that the words she used were "we" and "people".
