Chapter 306: The Slender Girl
Qin Xiao said this, not sure if he really thought so or was just trying to convince himself.
Mo Hanyu sat down in silence and let him lean on his arms.
Qin Xiao was in a really bad mood. He put everything behind him and curled up in his arms like a cat drenched by a rainstorm.
Qin Xiao closed his eyes and his breathing gradually calmed down. After a while, when Mo Hanyu thought he was about to fall asleep, he spoke.
"Can you eat spicy food?"
"...Okay." Mo Hanyu didn't know why he asked, so he answered honestly.
Qin Xiao came out of his arms, stood up, and patted his butt to avoid getting dust on it: "Let's go, we met a company today, and it seems to be doing pretty well."
Mo Hanyu looked at him as if nothing had happened, his eyes soft, "Okay."
The hand hanging by his side was suddenly pulled, and Qin Xiao turned his head slightly. Mo Hanyu missed his gaze and stared at the sunset in the sky as if nothing had happened, but his fingers gradually tightened.
Qin Xiao paused, pulled his hand away, and said nothing, but his attitude said it all.
Mo Hanyu felt a little disappointed and muttered, "Throw it away after use."
Qin Xiao pretended not to hear anything.
Qin Xiao said he was taking him to a restaurant, but Mo Hanyu knew him too well. He followed Qin Xiao silently around the river twice, looked at him coldly and began to scratch his head.
Qin Xiao rubbed the back of his head, ruffling his hair, and frowned in question, his already bad mood becoming even gloomier.
Mo Hanyu looked at Qin Xiao who seemed to be about to explode, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stepped forward and gently pulled him, comforting him: "Don't worry, think about it slowly."
Qin Xiao glanced at him, closed his eyes to calm his mind, and evened out his breath: "I... don't know if this is right."
This sentence was said abruptly, and ordinary people would definitely be confused after hearing it, but Mo Hanyu immediately understood what he meant and gently held his hand: "Maybe... you can tell me?"
"Although I may not be able to give you any advice, it's always bad to keep it in your heart."
Qin Xiao was silently pulled to a chair beside him. Looking at the dim river, his shoulders slumped in an instant, and his usually cold eyebrows revealed a trace of fragile sadness: "That is Jiumei."
Mo Hanyu was stunned.
"The fox fur that Yun Wangchuan is wearing is Jiumei." Qin Xiao let out a long sigh and leaned back slightly, "I recognized it at first sight."
At that time in the casino, he saw the glittering fox fur in the crowd at a glance. The fox fur itself has hidden properties, and people below the Earth Realm cannot see anything unusual. He has practiced for two lifetimes, and the vitality he cultivated in his previous life has not fallen behind, and he has also dealt with Jiumei before.
Although Jiumei's original body is dead, his aura still remains in his fur. It would probably take hundreds or thousands of years for it to completely dissipate.
Qin Xiao was somewhat thankful at the time because he had asked Miao Kaijie how to establish relations with others efficiently, and the process went smoothly. Yun Wangchuan was completely unprepared for him, and he became very familiar with him in just a few days. He also found out what he wanted to know effortlessly.
In fact, he had guessed it the moment he saw Yun Wangmei, but he couldn't confirm it.
After all, the body is just a carrier for living beings to survive in the world. It may just be a coincidence, or he may have made a mistake.
But Jiumei won’t.
Whether it is a spirit beast like Bai Ze, a god like Ju Mang, or a demon like Jiu Mei, when observing people and things, what we see is never the appearance, but the soul.
Jiumei's words and actions before his death confirmed Qin Xiao's guess—Yun Wangmei was Amao's reincarnation.
In fact, with Jiumei's ability and personality, it is not hopeless for him to escape. Even if he really dies at the hands of humans, he will definitely destroy his body completely before dying, and will not leave anything useful for humans.
But that guy was different.
The last sentence Jiumei said before his death did not convey his meaning, but it still troubled the young man.
What that sentence means is——
"Don't be sad for me. This last gift should be used to celebrate your new life."
Qin Xiao had no idea what kind of mood Jiumei was in when he said this, nor did he know whether Jiumei knew that Yun Wangmei could not understand what he said now.
He decided to respect Jiu Mei's wishes. Judging from Yun Wang Mei's performance just now and Jiu Mei's final outcome, if he knew the truth, he would probably be sad - although there was a possibility that he would feel puzzled, but Qin Xiao didn't want to gamble.
So Qin Xiao didn't say anything, but instead comforted Yun Wangmei and asked him to think more positively.
Since Jiumei doesn't want him to know, he won't say it.
It just adds to your troubles.
"Actually... if you really think about it, he didn't deserve to die." Qin Xiao said slowly, "Jiumei collected all kinds of skins, including the skins of the monster race and humans. Now it seems to be like this... it's just... karma."
Mo Hanyu didn't say anything and slowly hugged him.
Qin Xiao's body stiffened, but he didn't push away.
Mo Hanyu patted his back gently, soothing him softly, "It's okay... Don't force yourself. It's not shameful to be sad for the passing of an old friend."
Qin Xiao lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and let the embrace deepen.
If only... he wasn't Mo Ze's reincarnation.
Qin Xiao didn't know why, but this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he is not the reincarnation of Mo Ze and his memory will not be restored in the future... he might agree, right?
His heart suddenly tightened, and an unknown pain spread from his chest, forcing him to clutch the corner of his clothes tightly, suppressing the urge to hug back, and biting his lower lip tightly.
Mo Hanyu didn't know why the person in his arms was getting sadder. He lowered his eyelids and stroked the back of his head with his fingers. Without words, he could still convey his feelings.
In an instant, Qin Xiao pushed him away and seemed to have regained his composure. Mo Hanyu looked at his expression and chuckled, "What's the name of the restaurant you want to take me to? I'll lead the way."
Qin Xiao recalled carefully. Mo Hanyu stared at him for a while and decided to rely on himself.
The two were discussing and preparing to set out again when they were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Hello... Can I have your contact information?"
They both turned around and saw a girl standing behind them. She had two pigtails with a few small flowers in between falling on her shoulders. Her face was as rosy as a peach, and her bright eyes were shy and nervous. Her soft lips were slightly pursed, revealing her nervous heart.
Not far behind the girl, it seemed that her companion was talking about something and secretly looking at this side.
Qin Xiao looked her up and down. The girl was wearing a peach-colored skirt, playful yet beautiful, like a spring scene with peach blossoms flying everywhere.
Qin Jiuyuan looked at the two people in front of him nervously, his palms full of sweat.
It's all her fault... Why make a bet for no reason? After losing, she comes here to complain.
Qin Jiuyuan's eyes were a little dim. She knew that she would be rejected and might even be laughed at when she returned.
A few people made a bet just now, and if they lost, they would come to contact this white-haired masked boy. I heard from them that this boy had an amazing appearance. I was lucky enough to see him once, and I can't forget the stunning sight.
She was skeptical of this statement, after all, it was too exaggerated. They almost praised this young man to the sky, like a god descended to earth.
Where can I find such a person...
Qin Jiuyuan secretly complained in her heart.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, the young man in front of her chuckled, his eyes slightly curved, looking at her, "But you need to accompany us for dinner, how about it?"
"Ah?" Qin Jiuyuan was confused.
The boy's companions were obviously looking at him in confusion.
"How is it?" The boy ignored him.
Qin Jiuyuan frowned slightly, thinking quickly in her mind - if he gave her the contact information, she could avoid being laughed at, and she would have an excuse to act separately from those people...
"Okay."
Qin Jiuyuan agreed with a smile.
"Jiuyuan, you are so slow. Were you rejected?" The lazy boy looked at the girl who came back teasingly.
"Ruan Yu, don't be like this. Jiu Yuan, a girl, must feel uncomfortable when she is rejected." A long-haired boy frowned slightly and said softly.
"Liu Xiangfeng, stop being so hypocritical. Why didn't you say anything when she lost just now? Now you act like you are so noble." Ruan Yu sneered.
"Okay, stop arguing..." The girl smiled and patted the two men's shoulders. The boy who had been arguing with them just now softened his aura.
Qin Jiuyuan looked at this harmonious scene with cold eyes and said faintly: "I got it."
Ruan Yingli was stunned: "What?"
Qin Jiuyuan pinched the jade between her fingers and smiled slightly: "They invited me to dinner, so I must obey their orders."
Ruan Yingli's expression froze: "Is that so..."
Ruan Yu questioned: "Is it true?"
"of course it's true."
Qin Jiuyuan's whole body froze. The arm that came from behind her fell on her shoulder. Although the other party was very polite and only touched her shoulder lightly, she still broke out in a cold sweat.
She didn't even notice when the other party approached. There was no sign before the voice sounded. Ruan Yingli and the others seemed to be completely unaware of it... This person's cultivation must be higher than theirs.
So silent... it's chilling.
Mo Hanyu looked at the stunned people, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes: "If you are all right... then I will take her away first."
"Wait... wait!" Liu Xiangfeng reacted and tried to stop them, "You just met, this might not be appropriate."
"What's wrong with having a meal? You're not going to sell her out." Mo Hanyu sneered and glanced at him coldly.
The coldness around them suddenly intensified, and several people's faces changed.
"you--"
"Why did you start arguing?"
Qin Xiao felt something was wrong and walked up to ask Mo Hanyu.
Mo Hanyu immediately restrained himself and smiled obediently: "No, just saying hello."
Qin Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Qin Jiuyuan: "Let's go."
Qin Jiuyuan didn't come to her senses yet and responded instinctively.
"Jiuyuan!" Her wrist was suddenly pulled, and Ruan Yingli's eyes showed worry, "Are you sure?"
"...It's just a meal, what's there to be sure of?" Mo Hanyu took the lead and winked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao was puzzled, but did not speak again.
"Yeah, just a meal." Although Qin Jiuyuan was a little afraid of the aura that Mo Hanyu had just released, she could feel that the two had no hostility. After weighing the pros and cons, she agreed, "You guys go back first. Anyway, there's nothing to do these two days."
Ruan Yingli wanted to say something else. Qin Jiuyuan didn't want to listen anymore, so she turned around and followed the two of them away.
"What should we do? That person... is an evil cultivator, right?"
Ruan Yu looked at the direction they left and whispered, "So blatant... Can I report it?"
"Are you stupid?" Liu Xiangfeng glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten that there is a special case for this competition? They came through the formal channels."
"You mean-?"
"Contact Senior Jin Yi - no, tell Senior Han Shang." Ruan Yingli's eyes turned and he said softly, "Don't mention the bet."
"Do you want to make Senior Mo unhappy? After all, we have all noticed that the relationship between him and Qin Jinyi has been strained in the past few days. At this time..." Liu Xiangfeng looked at her.
"We're not lying. Isn't it normal to ask seniors for help when we encounter problems that we can't solve?" Ruan Yingli smiled. "As for who to ask, it depends on who has a closer relationship with us, right?"
Liu Xiangfeng didn't say anything else. Ruan Yu glanced at him but didn't say anything either.
Although Qin Jiuyuan followed, she was still a little nervous when she saw the two people's strange attitudes.
Qin Xiao did not recognize her. He had only heard her voice during their previous contact. After several years, he had no idea of Qin Jiuyuan's appearance and figure.
