Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?

Under the moon, Shen Rongyu's figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light smoke. When he returned, he seemed to be stained by the mist in the forest, and his sleeves were stained with water.

He entered, but the door that creaked when pushed did not make a sound.

The one on Ji Qingzhuo's sleeve woke up first again, it flapped its wings and flew towards Shen Rongyu, but Shen Rongyu ignored it.

It whimpered and wanted to attract Shen Rongyu's attention, but Shen Rongyu felt that it was noisy, pinched its mouth, and could only whimper twice, and ran away to play by itself.

Shen Rongyu stepped across the water, the hem of the clothes embroidered with Baitan fell on the water surface, silently.

The night wind is blowing, and it is already the end of summer and autumn, and the night wind is getting cooler. The day was hot, and Ji Qingzhuo was still wearing her flimsy clothes, which Shen Rongyu took her to the market to buy last time. The light pink clothes spread out like flowers.

When Ji Qingzhuo was sleeping, he was always used to shrinking himself to a small size, and it was the same with Shen Rongyu here, his hands and feet were all curled up, the insteps hidden under the skirt were tense, and the hands on the bamboo couch were tightly clenched. Fist, resting on his head.

When she sleeps, she has no dreams, and sometimes she feels a little nervous. For example, when Shen Rongyu is here, the night breeze is cool, and she can't help but think of the killing intent she sensed several times in front of Jiang Qianke.

In every subsequent formation class, she could sense the system's warning, and when she collided with Jiang Qianke's eyes, his eyes were calm and harmless, in stark contrast to the clear warning sound.

The sleeping Ji Qingzhuo clenched his hands, Shen Rongyu had already walked in front of her, he leaned over, half hugged her, and called in her ear: "Zhuozhuo?"

Ji Qingzhuo was nervous these days and didn't sleep well. With Shen Rongyu, she was unexpectedly able to sleep deeply, so she didn't answer him.

Shen Rongyu noticed the faint blue and black under her eyes, and only hugged her, the decorative ribbon on her sleeve fell down, and the end was knotted, it was in the shape of a flower, delicate and lovely.

Ji Qingzhuo tilted her head in his arms and was still asleep. She woke up several times in the night before, and it has been a long time since she had such a peaceful sleep experience.

"Zhuo Zhuo." Shen Rongyu called again, but there was still no answer.

It was cold outside the house, and it was still on the water, sleeping for a long time would inevitably hurt the body, but Shen Rongyu had no choice but to carry her into the house.

Holding her in both hands, he pushed the door open with his toes. There was a glimmering lamp burning in the room, the light was dim, and the moonlight outside the door was even brighter.

Ji Qingzhuo lay on his shoulder, fast asleep, her breathing was calm.

Shen Rongyu turned her head and looked at her side face. On her fair and delicate neck, there were exquisitely shaped ears without any decorations. A white earlobe was not flushed from shyness.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall what Ji Qingzhuo said to him some time ago.

- "I don't eat well."

Shen Rongyu lowered his head, bit her earlobe like a ghost, and slowly tightened his big palm around her back.

A very small and light piece of wood, just held in his arms like this, seems to be able to do anything.

Ji Qingzhuo felt it, but she hadn't woken up yet, she was extremely sleepy, and Shen Rongyu was the only person she knew well in this world of cultivating immortals.

She turned her head and rubbed her head against the side of his neck because her ears were itchy.

Shen Rongyu raised his neck, he seemed to be avoiding her, and seemed to be enjoying such an intimate touch.

The lamps and candles in the house flickered, reflecting the figures of the two on the wall, like waves rippling.

In the end, Shen Rongyu still whispered to her: "If you want to sleep, go to bed."

Ji Qingzhuo didn't answer him, but he still put her on his bed. There was no way, there was only one bed in this yard.

When her body fell on the couch, she quickly turned over and automatically shrunk to the farthest corner, hugging the quilt. This was the safest way for her to sleep.

Shen Rongyu looked down at her, Ji Qingzhuo's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and fell asleep.

He seemed to know why Ji Qingzhuo didn't sleep well in the past few days. He stroked the snow-burying sword at his waist lightly, and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

Ji Qingzhuo didn't answer him, and his voice seemed to enter her ears in a deep sleep.

She frowned slightly, and wanted to continue sleeping, so she could only answer him subconsciously: "Yes."

"Jiang Qianke?" Shen Rongyu asked, he came up and sat on the side of the bed, knowing that Ji Qingzhuo was not awake, he looked at the moonlight outside the door and asked in a very soft voice.

When Ji Qingzhuo heard this name, he quickly clenched his hands on the quilt. This was what she didn't understand the most. She had no grievances with Jiang Qianke, so why did she kill her?

She replied again: "Yes."

Shen Rongyu looked at her slightly frowning eyebrows, and her voice became crisp and sharp, like a dagger falling into the water, breaking the water surface.

"Then kill it," he said.

Shen Rongyu turned and went out, and closed the door for Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo slept for a long time before waking up. She hadn't fallen asleep so peacefully for a long time. When she woke up, she smelled the familiar fragrance on the bed. It was like Shen Rongyu's scent.

She quickly turned over from the bed and sat up, only to find that she was indeed in Shen Rongyu's room.

Ji Qingzhuo was startled, she didn't expect that she would miss out and sleep for so long, she turned over from the bed and sat up, and saw that her shoes were neatly placed by the side of the bed.

Stretching out the feet, the exposed toes are curled up, shining white under the dim light in the room.

It was Shen Rongyu who took off the shoes, Ji Qingzhuo thought, once she had this idea, the moment her toes touched the upper of the shoe, she quickly retracted.

In her mind, she couldn't help but think about how Shen Rongyu leaned over to help her take off her shoes when she was sleeping, and his hair would hang down from her shoulders and fall on her instep, scratching gently.

Ji Qingzhuo patted his cheek with one hand, forcing himself to forget these pictures forcibly.

Just woke up with a headache, she opened the door and went to find Shen Rongyu outside the courtyard, she wanted to apologize to him, but accidentally fell asleep in his place.

It's all because of the **** alarm, she hasn't slept well these days.

Shen Rongyu leaned on the bamboo couch, his light-colored figure was like the shadow of the full moon in the night sky, this time, he did not wipe the sword, and the Burial Snow Sword was placed on the wooden table beside him, and he looked down at the paper in his hand.

If Ji Qingzhuo took a closer look, she could find that the familiar formation was drawn on the paper in his hand, it was the peach blossom mist formation that Jiang Qianke used to protect himself.

The Peach Blossom Mist Formation is not just a simple formation to protect Shuiyun Peak. This formation is connected to Jiang Qianke himself. If there is danger, he can easily escape into the formation. As long as this formation is not broken, the power from the entire Shuiyun Peak will will protect him.

—Unless the power that hurt him came from himself, such as the soul chasing nail that suddenly turned back that night. Jiang Qianke has studied the formation for many years, and he has never disclosed the characteristics of the Peach Blossom Mist Formation to the public, but Shen Rongyu knows the secret of this formation, and he also used this to confirm that Jiang Qianke did it that night.

Hearing Ji Qingzhuo's footsteps, Shen Rongyu closed the pages of the book, and he looked back at her: "Wake up."

"Hmm." Ji Qingzhuo replied in a low voice, she lifted her skirt and walked out slowly, she was waiting here, she still had important things to say.

In fact, Xuanyunzong leaves a lot of time for disciples to practice. There are only morning classes and afternoon classes on one or two days a week, and the rest of the days, there are only morning classes. After the classes, they can go back to practice.

Compared with other disciples, Ji Qingzhuo's training time of three hours a day is really not much.

But she knew that she had to pull Shen Rongyu along in her cultivation, and Shen Rongyu didn't always have time to accompany her in cultivation.

She thought she was wasting Shen Rongyu's time like this, but she didn't know that when Shen Rongyu was free, he also wanted to collect his own broken power, and practicing with her unexpectedly speeded up the efficiency of recovery.

In a sense, this can be regarded as double cultivation.

"Senior brother Xiaoyu." Ji Qingzhuo walked to Shen Rongyu's side, she hesitated, not knowing how to make this unreasonable request.

For a long time, she seemed to think of something, and she felt that she had been ignoring one thing.

It is an undoubted fact that she cannot cultivate by herself now, but Shen Rongyu has a way to use his body as an intermediary to introduce spiritual energy into her body. This ability... Is it Shen Rongyu's own ability, or is it a spell, magic weapon or something like that? What about things?

If it was a foreign object, would she not have to bother Shen Rongyu, and would not have to be in the cultivation space with him...

Hearing Ji Qingzhuo call him, Shen Rongyu turned his head sideways, his hair was shining silver.

"Why?" He asked, Ji Qingzhuo's figure was reflected in his deep eyes.

"You gave me a way to practice... can I use other spells, magic weapons, etc. instead?" Ji Qingzhuo asked tentatively.

When Shen Rongyu heard the word "magic weapon", Shen Rongyu's eyes shivered slightly, and the thin ice at the bottom of the eyes became colder and colder.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't look into his eyes, so she didn't notice the change. Her eyes moved down, and she just looked at the moon on his shoulder.

"No." Shen Rongyu spoke coldly.

These words are not perfunctory or deceiving Ji Qingzhuo, because he knows that he is the only one who has this ability in the entire world of cultivating immortals, and now Ji Qingzhuo obviously regards his ability as a common thing.

Nothing can replace him.

Shen Rongyu's gaze flicked across Ji Qing's face: "If you don't want to, you don't have to look for me."

Ji Qingzhuo thought that Shen Rongyu might be annoyed, but her cultivation needs would indeed disturb his normal life.

She was a little anxious and a little overwhelmed, so she couldn't help rubbing the little flower decoration hanging from her waist.

Shen Rongyu didn't speak any more, he didn't even look at her anymore, and those who were playing in the yard had already fallen asleep, at this time there was no other sound in the yard except the sound of wind, water, and breathing.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't know what to say, she blinked, calmed down, and lowered her head to count the patterns of flowers embroidered on her dress.

After a long time, it was Shen Rongyu who finally broke the silence: "Is it just to say this when I waited until now?"

"Elder Mu said that during the annual assessment, the cultivation base must reach the fifth level of Qi Refining." Ji Qingzhuo said, she was a little helpless, and the final tone of her soft voice dropped.

"If I want to reach the fifth level, according to my current cultivation progress, I have to add one or two more hours of cultivation time every day." Ji Qingzhuo raised his eyes, followed Shen Rongyu's chest upwards, and finally stopped on his shoulders , dare not move up.

"So?" Shen Rongyu asked, he actually understood what Ji Qingzhuo meant, but he still wanted to ask.

"If it takes such a long time, it should disturb your normal cultivation, right?" Ji Qingzhuo asked.

"Of course not." Shen Rongyu replied quickly, "For this reason, do you want to find something else to replace me?"

Ji Qingzhuo is very honest, although she knew that Shen Rongyu might be a little angry because of "finding something else to replace him", but she still nodded: "Yes."

Shen Rongyu called her full name: "Ji Qingzhuo."

"Ah?" Ji Qingzhuo suddenly heard her full name from him, and she was not used to it. She turned her head and stared blankly at Shen Rongyu.

Shen Rongyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her over suddenly. Ji Qingzhuo had no strength at all, so he fell into his arms after being taken by him.

Their skins were touching, and Shen Rongyu's voice came from above her head: "It doesn't matter if it's three hours, five hours, or as many hours as you want."

"Oh." Ji Qingzhuo weighed his cultivation progress. He knew that according to the original practice speed of three hours a day, it would take so many days to reach the third level of Qi Refining. In addition, each promotion stage would increase the promotion level by a certain percentage. The ability required by the first level, so if she wants to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining before the annual assessment, she needs an average of—

"Four hours and five sticks of incense are enough, not five hours." Ji Qingzhuo accurately calculated the average daily training time.

Shen Rongyu's hand holding her wrist was tight, his fingertips were warm, but his tone was still cold, with a hint of resentment: "Is that what you're thinking about?"

Ji Qingzhuo was confused: "Brother Xiaoyu, what else?"

She doesn't calculate the time required for cultivation, what is she thinking, isn't she trying to shorten the time to bother him as much as possible?

"Wood," he said.

"En." Ji Qingzhuo subconsciously responded.

After a while, she realized: "I am not wood."

Shen Rongyu stopped arguing with her, he held Ji Qingzhuo's wrist and began to help her practice.

Now for Ji Qingzhuo, she is used to the aura belonging to Shen Rongyu in the cultivation space.

The red air flow that belonged to Shen Rongyu actually looked fierce, but it actually just rubbed against her, did nothing else, and finally left a little room for her to breathe.

Some time ago, the red air flow kept rubbing against her neck, but today, of course, it's a little different.

Ji Qingzhuo turned her head to the side, and she noticed that the red air flow slowly climbed up until it reached her ear.

It was itchy, so she shrugged her shoulders and avoided it a little, but the air around her immediately tightened, preventing her from struggling.

Well, if you don't let him move, don't let him move, anyway, she already knew that Shen Rongyu is a big villain, she usually looks so gentle in front of her, but in the cultivation space, she will show her true nature.

Ji Qingzhuo's neck was stiff and did not move, she felt someone bit her earlobe, not lightly but not hard, it was the lips melted by the red air.

Just now she was familiar with his touch on the side of her neck, but now it was in a different place, Ji Qingzhuo was helpless, she closed her eyes, raised her hand to push away the red air that bit her earlobe.

As a result, he bit her fingertip again, biting whatever he grabbed, it was extremely disgusting.

He leaned forward again, squeezed her hand away, and acted decisively. Ji Qingzhuo remembered that she reminded Shen Rongyu not long ago that she was not very tasty.

What is he doing now, isn't he afraid of acid?

Ji Qingzhuo was anxious and aggrieved, but she couldn't break free. No matter what, she never thought that the source of all this was what she said.

Whether it is delicious or not, of course you have to taste it to know.

Today's practice time has been much longer, and Ji Qingzhuo is trying her best to avoid the red air current, because she is ticklish, and when he pecks, her nerves will tremble.

Finally, when she exited the cultivation state, she couldn't help rubbing her earlobe, Shen Rongyu looked down at her movements, secretly thinking whether he secretly bit her when he hugged her and was discovered.

He held her hand, pulled it away a little, and asked her, "Is it itchy?"

Shen Rongyu's voice was deep and low, passing by her ear, Ji Qingzhuo tilted his head, not daring to look him in the face: "It doesn't itch."

She was a little annoyed and a little ashamed, you see, he still asked, obviously he bit him, and now he still asked her innocently.

Ji Qingzhuo withdrew his hand and hid his hand in his sleeve: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu, I'm going back."

When Shen Rongyu sent her back, he was still puzzled. Logically, Ji Qingzhuo would not be able to find out, but on the way back, she had raised her hand and touched her ears many times.

"Why are you still touching?" He asked again with lowered eyes.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu..." Ji Qingzhuo thought about it, but she still decided to speak out and let Shen Rongyu restrain himself.

"Didn't you bite it?" Ji Qingzhuo asked him, she asked confidently.

Shen Rongyu: "..." Oops, I was discovered.

He didn't know how Ji Qingzhuo found out, but he thought it was revealed that he secretly bit her while she was sleeping.

"Then don't bite next time." Shen Rongyu didn't look at her this time, he avoided her eyes and looked at the mist in the forest in the distance, "Zhuo Zhuo said it was not good last time, just try it."

Ji Qingzhuo didn't expect it to be the result of her own words. She opened her lips, wanting to say something, but her words were incoherent, and she couldn't form a complete language.

As expected, she was not very good at talking, so she would say less in the future, so Ji Qingzhuo let out a "huh" and shut up.

Shen Rongyu sent her back in silence, and Ji Qingzhuo felt a little unspeakable when he saw his quiet appearance. Shen Rongyu has no way to control what she does in the cultivation space. She should and shouldn't be awake. If she doesn't, it will be just the blending of two different breaths in the final analysis.

Aside from his current perfect disguise, he is indeed a very bad villain, and it is normal for him to do such a thing.

Ji Qingzhuo hated herself for being too sober, she didn't know why she was able to maintain a clear mind when she entered the cultivation space.

So, he pushed Shen Rongyu's sleeve: "Brother Xiaoyu, aren't you going back?"

Shen Rongyu turned his head to the side, and he looked at her for a long time, the thin ice in his eyes seemed to be shining.

"Sorry," he told her.

Ji Qingzhuo shook her head, she puffed up her cheeks, she didn't know what to say, but she was really not annoyed anymore.

Shen Rongyu left and disappeared into the forest.

Ji Qingzhuo immediately closed the courtyard door, leaning her back against the door, she heard her heart beating.

When it was time to go to bed, her shy mood had not dissipated, and she was not used to even hugging her quilt on the bed, because she didn't smell like Shen Rongyu.

He is...a very peculiar person, Ji Qingzhuo thought so.

Finally, before going to bed, she patted her forehead to react.

No, didn't she attack this villain, why now it seems...he is attacking her?

The author has something to say:

Brother Xiaoyu is actually like this, he is usually very reserved in front of Zhuozhuo, but he can't hide himself when he is in the cultivation space.

What Shen Rongyu was thinking: She is a piece of wood, I just want to double cultivate with her, why doesn't she understand? She actually wants to find something else to replace me, I'm jealous.

What Ji Qingzhuo was thinking: What should I do with my annual test results? I must get a pass in the practice class. If I have time, I have to figure out how long to practice to be efficient.
