Chapter 265 Mysterious Woman
Su Shanke is dead.
The last person who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the demon girl Qu Hongling and survived, eventually died in the hands of Jiang Shouzhong and Ran Qingchen, which can be regarded as a fate.
It was just what the other party said before his death made Jiang Shouzhong very confused.
"You and she are both monsters..."
Why do you say I'm a monster?
Is it because you can see the death energy in me?
Moreover, Jiang Shouzhong had a gut feeling that the "she" the other party mentioned did not refer to Ran Qingchen, but to another person.
The blood slowly spread, dyeing the grass reddish brown. This forest, which had no sun, seemed even darker red at this moment, which was quite depressing.
Jiang Shouzhong looked down and found that Ran Qingchen in his arms had passed out.
The opponent was already seriously injured, and even though he was the master of the Wushuang swordsmanship, he still spent a lot of energy. The fact that he was able to hold on until now was a result of his stubbornness.
The tired Jiang Shouzhong hugged the woman and sat on the tree trunk next to him to rest.
From luring Su Shanke away to killing the opponent, he almost exhausted all his skills.
Jiang Shouzhong looked down at the unconscious woman in his arms, and pushed the hair that was scattered on the woman's face behind her ears, revealing a bright and moving face.
The woman's face is pale, like an orchid floating in the blue sky, with a touch of heartbreaking fragility and coldness.
Jiang Shouzhong sighed softly.
I don’t know why, but since arriving in Qingzhou, the relationship between the two seems to have become strange.
Maybe earlier, it was very strange when I was in the capital.
He couldn't guess a woman's thoughts, so he just tried to get along with her as calmly as possible.
After all, the other party said that her dream is to become a kendo master like Jiang Wan and live her whole life pursuing the kendo without considering the personal affairs of her children.
So Jiang Shouzhong never thought about having feelings for the other party.
But as the two spent too much time together, intentionally or unintentionally, there seemed to be a trace of unclear feelings lingering between the two.
This made him very embarrassed.
In particular, the other party did not deliberately alienate him, but was willing to protect him, get close to him, and even risk his life to save him... This made Jiang Shouzhong helpless and a little angry.
After all, he is a normal man with normal feelings.
After all, Ran Qingchen is a very beautiful and charming woman.
It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.
So Jiang Shouzhong is very angry. Since you don't plan to develop a relationship, stay away from me. You can't let me, a grown man, be such a villain and deliberately alienate you.
Besides, he is not decisive when it comes to feelings.
In addition to taking the initiative against Hong'er, the main focus is on being passive. Otherwise, he would not have gotten into love debt with Yelu Miaomiao, Xia He and Qiuye.
He really doesn't know how to refuse.
Under this situation, Jiang Shouzhong felt very conflicted.
After becoming the Master of Mingjian Mountain, he already liked this woman a little bit, but he just suppressed it deliberately. And what made him happy during that time was that Ran Qingchen seemed to be deliberately getting close to him.
If Ran Qingchen is really willing to be his wife, then he will definitely be happy, unless he gets kicked in the head by a donkey.
But the good times did not last long, and the other party suddenly distanced themselves again and began to alienate.
Jiang Shouzhong didn't understand what "emotional space" was, but this incident made him sober up a lot, and he no longer dared or wanted to show some emotions in front of the other party.
He was afraid that the two of them would really develop a relationship and end up with nothing.
So he always maintained restraint.
The occasional joke is also cautious.
Even if Ran Qingchen started to get close to him again during this period, he did not dare to break the paper window, for fear of being sentimental and for fear of affecting the other party.
But he could clearly feel it, as if the shadow of the other party had been imprinted on his heart.
Otherwise, he would not have been so panicked in Shura City before.
Including this time too.
But this time, the moment he saw the other person alive, the suppressed throbbing emerged again.
At that time he really wanted to hug the woman.
But still didn't dare.
He wasn't sure whether Ran Qingchen wanted to be his wife or not, and he didn't dare to take that step tentatively.
He really wanted to know what the woman was thinking in her heart.
It’s just that there’s nothing he can do.
This is how human emotions are. When you start to care, you become worried about gains and losses, and become timid. It always feels like I'm touching a bubble, cautiously.
In addition, what concerned him the most was Sister Nightingale's several pieces of advice.
Last time Sister Nightingale also explained why she didn’t want him to have a relationship with Ran Qingchen.
Back then, when Jiang Wan knew that Mo Ruye's child was a girl, she still insisted on marrying her and letting Ran Qingchen marry a girl. It was weird no matter how you looked at it.
Even Jiang Wan still left a ruthless sword heart in Ran Qingchen's body.
Why doesn’t Jiang Wan want her daughter to be emotional, and why does she want to prevent her from finding her own happiness? I got sick from light dust when I was young. What kind of disease did I get?
These puzzles are difficult to figure out.
In short, Jiang Shouzhong could feel that there was an invisible force controlling Ran Qingchen's emotions, and it was also hindering the development of their relationship.
This made him extremely confused.
Unconsciously, his palms were caressing the woman's soft cheeks, as if he were caressing his lover's face.
——
Ran Qingchen was right next to him.
To be precise, at this moment, she seemed to be wandering away from the world, standing next to Jiang Shouzhong in an illusory state.
She didn’t know why she was like this.
Dead?
But my body still has temperature and a heartbeat.
More like an out-of-body experience.
She spoke to Jiang Shouzhong, but the other party couldn't hear her at all.
At this time, she suddenly turned around with a sense of emotion, and was shocked to see a woman suddenly appearing not far away.
This woman looks exactly like her!
The only difference is that the other person has long silver-gray hair, and there is a biting cold and bloody aura lingering around him, as if spreading from the depths of the netherworld, which is daunting.
Those pupils were also glowing red.
"Who are you?"
Ran Qingchen was wary.
“I am you.”
The silver-haired woman clasped her hands behind her back and approached slowly.
"Me?"
Ran Qingchen frowned.
The silver-haired woman raised her scarlet lips:
"You think that without the ruthless Kenshin, you can just like others, right? Have you ever thought that you don't deserve love at all in this life? ."
"Who are you!"
Ran Qingchen felt some inexplicable fear in her heart and subconsciously approached Jiang Shouzhong.
It’s just that the man can’t see her at all at this moment.
The silver-haired woman glanced at Jiang Shouzhong and said with a smile: "If he really liked you, he wouldn't mess with other women. If he really liked other women, he wouldn't miss you.
A deep love will last forever, but a strong one will be humiliating. Can the love you desire really be rewarded?
Man, he is just thinking about your body. If you are an ugly person, he will still do it. Do you care about me? I only drink one scoop of water. It's a pity that you are not the one.
Ran Qingchen, you are different from others, you don’t need this kind of cheap love, it will only make you suffer..."
"How come I don’t need you to take care of my feelings! "
Ran Qingchen said coldly, "Is it because of you that I am like this now? ? "
"You just saw your heart, a heart that has been hidden. "The silver-haired woman said quietly.
She walked up to Ran Qingchen and gently pressed her pale palm on Ran Qingchen's heart.
“Listen, is there no heartbeat?”
Ran Qingchen wanted to push the woman away, but found that he could not move.
The silver-haired woman slowly clenched her fists. At the same time, Ran Qingchen felt a severe cramping in her heart, as if her heart was tightly grasped in her hand. The pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
The silver-haired woman said with a cold face: "There is no man in this world who is worthy of your liking."
"Get away!!"
Ran Qingchen tried his best to break free and push the woman away.
She held her heart and gasped, staring coldly at the silver-haired woman who was smiling but not smiling: "Who are you? I don't care who you are, just get away."
< br>The silver-haired woman sighed: "You clearly don't want to share your husband with other women, why do you still wrong yourself? Do you think that if you make a sacrifice, a man will be grateful to you? You are too naive, he will only Take this for granted..."
"Shut up!"
Ran Qingchen scolded angrily, his eyes red.
The silver-haired woman stared at Ran Qingchen, her body moving like green smoke, and continued: "He can't give you all his love, whether he is infatuated or passionate, you are just an insignificant substitute. It's just a taste. If you don't believe it, let's watch..."
"I said shut up!"
Ran Qingchen slapped the woman with his palm.
But it passed directly through the body.
The silver-haired woman walked up to Jiang Shouzhong, her eyes cold and full of sarcasm:
"He will not be satisfied with just you as a woman. The reason why you are willing to share is because whether it is Jinxiu or Xia He, They are just maids. Do you think they pose no threat?
But if that girl named Li Nanshuang also becomes his woman, will you still deceive yourself and treat her as your maid? How much love can be divided..."
Ran Qingchen's whole body was as cold as if he had fallen into a cold cave.
The other party seemed to know everything, peeking into her memory and her thoughts.
Could it be that the other person is really in her heart?
Ran Qingchen's body trembled involuntarily, as if countless malicious intentions were coming from all directions, turning into knives.
“Girl, love is not what people like us should have.”
The silver-haired woman stretched out her fingers as long as an onion root and gently pressed them on Ran Qingchen’s lips. The voice said, "The deeper you love, the more severe the pain will be. If you insist on not realizing it, it will be too late when it will really break your heart."
Listening to the woman's advice, all the anger faded away. But Chen calmed down: "No matter how you provoke me, I will not be fooled. I make my own decisions about my own feelings!"
The silver-haired woman's red lips curled up: "Then let's wait and see."
She waved her sleeves gently, and a gust of fishy wind blew, so that Ran Qingchen couldn't open her eyes, and she felt the world was spinning...
But the originally silent heart began to beat violently.
……
Ran Qingchen opened his eyes suddenly.
What caught his eye was Jiang Shouzhong's concerned face.
Her consciousness returned to reality.
The man's hand was still touching her face, feeling warm.
Seeing the woman wake up, Jiang Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, then he retracted his hand like an electric shock and said with a dry smile: "I'm awake."
Ran Qingchen turned his head and glanced around, and Not seeing the silver-haired woman, he asked softly: "Did you see anyone else here just now?"
"Others?"
Jiang Shouzhong was startled and shook his head vigorously, "No."
Ran Qingchen didn't know whether to talk about what he had just experienced, but he hesitated and finally decided Didn't say.
"Can you... leave?"
Jiang Shouzhong was still holding the woman, and his fingertips were warm through the smooth skin of his clothes.
Ran Qingchen tried to get up.
She put one hand on the man's shoulder and the other on his leg. After trying a few times, she shook her head helplessly: "No, we need to take it slow."
"Then Just take it slow."
Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously hugged the woman's slender waist and said.
It is impossible to carry people into the tree hole. The passage inside is too narrow, so we can only wait.
He wanted to say "Do you mind if I hold you like this", but in the end he didn't say this.
Once some words are spoken, it will be embarrassing for both parties.
Just maintain a tacit understanding.
Ran Qingchen did not deliberately avoid it. Maybe it was the silver-haired woman's verbal stimulation just now that aroused her rebellious heart, so she just lay in the man's arms.
My feelings will never be defined by other people.
I like it if I want to, and if I don't want to like it, I don't like it.
“There are things I want to ask you.”
After a long time, Ran Qingchen suddenly spoke softly.
Jiang Shouzhong said: "Ask."
The man became nervous for no reason. He always felt that the woman wanted to ask some very sensitive questions.
But strangely, Ran Qingchen fell into silence for a long time.
She didn’t dare to ask.
She didn’t know what she was afraid of.
After struggling for a long time, I still didn’t have the courage to ask, so I could only change the subject vaguely: "I want to tell you something. Last time in the ancient city of Shura, a woman and I became sworn sisters."
“Huh? Who is it?”
Jiang Shouzhong looked incredulous.
At that time, he didn't see anyone else around Ran Qingchen.
Ran Qingchen was silent for a while and then said: "She is a very beautiful girl. I will tell you her specific identity later. The situation at that time was also quite strange. She and I fell into an illusion, where we spent time together. It's been a long time..."
Ran Qingchen told what happened, and Jiang Shouzhong secretly clicked his tongue.
I feel like I am listening to a fantasy.
"It turns out that the ruthless sword heart in your body was damaged at that time. No wonder."
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly realized.
At that time, Ran Qingchen, who came back from Shura City, felt something was very wrong. He changed his previous alienation towards him and took the initiative to get close to him, as if he was a different person.
Unexpectedly, it was the reason why the sword heart in the body was damaged.
In that case, I would like to thank the skeleton monster.
"Your foster sister is a good person."
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile, "I believe in your intuition and vision. I will definitely thank her for taking care of you next time I come here."
Ran Qingchen recalled Qu Hongling's charming appearance in his heart, with a smile on his face, and joked: "I'm afraid that when you see my girl, you will be fascinated by her. "
Jiang Shouzhong was amused: "Don't worry, even if your stepsister is as beautiful as a fairy and is a goddess descended to earth, I won't even think about it. If I am really tempted, I will castrate myself. .”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Ran Qingchen punched the man's chest with his fist.
She smiled and said: "Even if you are really thoughtful, it is too late. My sworn sister is a widow and loves her late husband very much."
Widow?
Jiang Shouzhong was speechless.
The best friends my daughter-in-law has made are really strange.
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "Then you can rest assured. I, Jiang Mo, am not a thief, and I have no interest in widows."
